Chapter Fifty-Five: The First Step of Inheritance and Cultivation
It wasn't until around the time of Qing Chenyin that Xiao Tong reluctantly put down the ancient books in his hand.
This night of reading with great affection, especially the book "The Nine Ancestors of the Ghost Valley Alchemy", it simply made him enter a new world, and even the remaining few seemingly useless "tatters" and remnants, he didn't bother to check them.
As a result, I read until the early hours of the morning, and after a night of non-stop records and initial visits in the Divine Domain, even the spirit of the Divine Domain had begun to have a trace of "brain rise", Xiao Tong stopped reading without sleeping and eating.
The amount of spiritual knowledge he had taken in that night far exceeded the sum of his second knowledge of spiritual practice, and he suddenly realized that he had been an idiot in spiritual practice until now.
Although this conclusion made Xiao Tong a little frustrated, it was more excited.
This truth is actually very simple, as a college student who crossed over from the earth, Xiao Tong should have thought of these things earlier, but the authorities were fascinated, and he fought and killed all the way, so that he actually neglected the commonalities of the two.
This common point is "learning", thinking about the previous life, in order to learn such a superficial thing as "physics" and "chemistry", you have to go through ten years of hard study, and you have to catch the teacher's advice all the way, and practice.
But this is not to say that what Xiao Tong learned in his school career in his previous life for more than ten years is useless, on the contrary, according to his understanding overnight, he found that many of the things he learned in his previous life are essential even in the cultivation world.
For example, the "human body medicine" that he specializes in is simply a unique convenience compared to the monks of the same age in this world, and with an in-depth understanding of the human body, this is simply twice the result with half the effort for his body refining.
For example, the mastery of "chemistry", "physics", "mathematics" and other disciplines has undoubtedly laid a good foundation for the understanding of alchemy, mystical machinery, Xuanmen deduction and formation in this life.
In particular, the "philosophy" that was the least optimistic in the previous life is simply the basis for enlightenment, although it is a little superficial, but there is no doubt that the philosophical system of the previous life has formed the prototype of the "Tao".
Although these things are placed in the cultivation of this life, they are still like the "preschool" in this life, but there is no doubt that with this foundation, it will be of great help to Xiao Tong's cultivation in the future.
Xiao Tong was frustrated, of course, not because of his ignorance, but because he didn't find out about this problem earlier, if it wasn't for the coincidence of Xu Zhi's old Guogong and the inheritance of this ghost valley, I don't know how many unjust roads he would have to take.
But after thinking about it for a while, I felt relieved, if it weren't for this strong contrast, maybe he would still be like in his previous life, disapproving of the things in these books.
Although it is a little late to get it now, Xiao Tong has deeply realized the preciousness of these things, maybe this is the will of heaven, as the master said, "He should learn some things hard!"
Gently put away the ancient books, put the green jade talisman into the cross bag, Xiao Tong just got off the cold stone, went to the courtyard for a long walk, and then turned back to the main hall.
If it was used to in the past, at this time, Xiao Tong should have practiced martial arts earlier, and no matter how hard and tired he was on weekdays, he had never turned off this habit.
The so-called "fist does not leave the hand, the passage does not leave the mouth", Xiao Tong has always believed that as long as he practices diligently, he will improve his practice, so he has been pressuring his own cultivation, and he also feels that his practice is progressing rapidly.
But after comprehending the basic coursework of "Ghost Valley Nine Ancestors Refining Method", Xiao Tong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being confused, and even forgot the truth of "one piece and one gallop, the way of civil and martial arts" in his previous life.
In retrospect at this time, there was no doubt that every time he forcibly cultivated under the extreme exhaustion of his body, this kind of progress was undoubtedly proportional to the damage to his body, and the two offset each other, in fact, he was wasting a lot of time, and it also laid a hidden danger to the refining volume.
Therefore, Xiao Tong changed his way in time, and after relaxing a little outside, he began to heal his injuries with peace of mind when he returned to the main hall, and he no longer simply stimulated the energy of the elixir, but began to run a set of healing exercises.
Speaking of this set of wounding exercises, it is not inherited from Guigu, but from a passage in "Chixia Neidan Fire Heart Decision".
If it weren't for the profound medical foundation of the previous achievements and the relevant exercise principles in the Guigu Gate, Xiao Tong would not have dared to practice this Danhuo Heart Determination out of context like this.
But combined with the inheritance of Guigu and what he had learned in his previous life, and according to the perfect deduction of the Divine Domain, a set of healing exercises that were most suitable for him was quickly born.
Sitting quietly on the cold stone, holding his breath and meditating, the little snake of innate essence suddenly became excited, and rushed out of the dantian like a sharp arrow, guiding a fiery essence qi that began to circulate in Xiao Tong's body.
But unlike the "Nine Turns Yuan Gong", this kind of healing technique does not open and close a hundred orifices, not only that, but it closes a hundred orifices tightly so that no trace of qi leaks out.
Moreover, the qi that he guided was no longer true qi, but the pure essence core qi in his body, but with the operation of the Chixia Dan Fire Determination Technique, that wisp of essence qi also changed from attributeless qi to authentic fire essence qi.
Like a "fire welding gun" in the previous life, this kind of scorching essence, every time it passes through a wound, it will make the wound in this place be welded together, and the effect is amazing.
What's even more amazing is that the medicinal energy that has been accumulated in his body for many days has also been fully activated, and with the formation of a magical "welding rod" with the innate little snake, the amazing wounds are visible to the naked eye "welding".
Although this kind of healing speed against the sky is also accompanied by bursts of pain, for Xiao Tong, this is tantamount to a life and death creation.
Because from this moment on, Xiao Tong's concept and cognition of cultivation have progressed by leaps and bounds, if he only passively accepted it before, now it seems that a window has opened in front of him, and he can already faintly see the scenery along the way.
After "crossing", after one by one shocking and mysterious things for Xiao Tong in his previous life, Xiao Tong's cognition returned to the basics again.
"Learning, comprehension, application, innovation" these eight words are his previous college motto, after this period of bloody baptism, as well as the crazy pursuit of martial arts, Xiao Tong once again adjusted his life.
Xiao Tong entered the dangerous place this time, planning to spend a year to recuperate and improve his strength.
Since taking over this body, he has been growing almost in battle, tempering his heart in the raging storm, although things have not turned out beyond his expectations, but he has also realized the importance of strength.
If it weren't for the deliberate shock of the mystery of the master's door to pull the banner and make a tiger skin, maybe the current situation would not be so optimistic, in addition to his own "ruthlessness", the mystery of the master also made all parties jealous.
Of course, Xiao Tong didn't dare to hope that this sense of mystery could last long, according to his guess, the situation should not deteriorate within a year, that is to say, there will be no major crisis for his family and the woman he loves.
But a year later, after a long time, if he doesn't see the "master to save the field", those people will definitely feel something, so in this year, he must definitely have a big improvement in strength.
This will not only better protect yourself and your family, but also make all parties more afraid of the strength of his master.
Prompted by this kind of thinking, his thoughts before coming to danger were undoubtedly determined to sharpen his martial arts skills and improve his cultivation, even if it was hard and difficult.
But after being inspired by the Guigu inheritance, Xiao Tong's state of mind suddenly calmed down, and in addition to being shocked by the vast fantasy of the path of cultivation, he noticed his shortcomings more rationally.
It is no wonder that the book says that "there is no reckless man in cultivation", if martial arts and strength are regarded as cultivation, it is undoubtedly a self-defeating future of cultivation.
Although cultivation includes this way of defeating the enemy and killing, what is more important is the pursuit of physical "spirituality", whether it is a primordial spirit monk, a vitality cultivator, a body refining cultivator, or even a bloodline cultivator like a demon cultivator, they are all pursuing an extreme "spirituality".
The "spirituality" is a great achievement, and the natural understanding of humanity, the earth or the way of heaven is also the realm of the "true self" mentioned in the Guigu.
Therefore, after realizing this, Xiao Tong's eyes suddenly lit up, and from this moment on, he seemed to gently provoke a veil in front of him for such an unpredictable and unbelievable mysterious thing as cultivation.
But seeing it clearly, it doesn't mean that he has been clear, on the contrary, this vastness and profundity made Xiao Tong have a burst of awe and admiration.
Just as the sky has just dawned, revealing the majestic and hideous mountains, and like the sea area overlooking in the morning light, the vastness and magnificence make Xiao Tong both shocked and yearned.
However, what he needs most now is to judge the situation and formulate an effective cultivation method according to his own characteristics, which is the most basic cultivation premise for the people of Guigumen.
Although "Divine Soul, Body Refining and Martial Arts" are the three most important cultivation directions in Xiao Tong's cultivation stage, what makes him proud is that in addition to martial arts, he is extremely superior in the other two points.
"Three Chapters of the Imperial Palace" and "Nine Transformations Yuan Gong" are undoubtedly the best exercises for Xiao Tong to practice the divine soul and cultivate the body, so for these two points, he only needs to insist on cultivation and reasonable allocation.
For martial arts, although Xiao Tong has gone through several life-and-death fights during this time, and he also has three classics of "Boxing Codex", "Body Codex" and "Sword Codex", but after all, there are too few "basic martial arts" of these three codes, and he does not dare to think about himself.
However, this can only be a later story, no matter what, what he can do now is only to continue to practice these more than 500 "basic martial arts" to achieve the real "practice makes perfect" Besides, he is not in a hurry to be greedy and not rotten.
And from the inheritance of the Ghost Valley, Xiao Tong knew that the "enjoyment" he said in his life on weekdays was actually a way to warm the soul, such as "piano, chess, calligraphy, painting", these elegant things.
No matter what form of warmth and nourishment, as long as the soul can realize the beauty of a burst of "rhyme", just like people talking and communicating with others, these elegant things are also the same truth, as long as you can understand the meaning of the rhyme, this is more vivid and refined than saying a thousand words or ten thousand words.
At the same time, this is also inseparable from martial arts, when the martial arts reach the "ripe and flowing", it can also produce this kind of rhyme, as if the antelope hangs its horns, and it can defeat the enemy and even slaughter and kill without a trace.
Understanding, healing, for a month, Xiao Tong has spent time in this "leisurely" state, although he has not practiced martial arts for a while, but Xiao Tong's eyes are obviously much deeper and brighter, as if the whole person has become more wise.
