Chapter 17: Wubi
There are no years of cultivation, and a few more days have passed like this. At noon one day, Lin Tian was cultivating in the cave, and at this time, he already felt that he could be familiar with gathering qi and exhaling, and the cultivation methods had all been memorized.
Suddenly, he felt a slight sound of footsteps coming from the entrance of the cave, and he slowly opened his eyes to look.
I saw that the person who came was my own teacher, Wanqing.
Lin Tian hurriedly jumped up and walked towards the other party, and saw Wanqing bowing slightly.
"Tian'er, how have you cultivated these days, have you ever broken through to the early stage of qi gathering" Wan Qing said words of concern.
"Yes, Master. Within a few days of entering the cave to cultivate, I had broken through to the Qi Gathering Period," Lin Tian replied with a nod.
Seeing this, Wanqing nodded slightly: "Well, that's good." ”
"There is not much time left before the qualification selection of the inner door, and you are only in the early stage of gathering energy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win in the martial arts." Wan Qing said again.
Hearing this, Lin Tian's brows furrowed slightly, he was a little impulsive when he promised at that time, and when he broke through to the Qi Gathering Period, he didn't know how big the gap was between the cultivation of this Foundation Building Period and the Qi Gathering Period. If you go to participate in the martial arts competition with the strength of the foundation building period, you may not know how to die.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian shook his head slightly, he was still too young and impulsive.
Seeing Lin Tian frowning and pondering, Wanqing smiled slightly: "Don't be too discouraged, although it is unlikely that you will win in the martial arts competition, it is not completely out of chance." ”
"Why did the master say this?" Lin Tian was puzzled.
"Do you know what your greatest strength is?" Wan Qing turned her head to look at Lin Tian.
"Advantages? Could it be my innate martial bones? Lin Tianhu was suspicious.
"Well, you're right, but not quite. Your biggest advantage is indeed that you have an innate martial bone, and you have an innate advantage over others, but your cultivation is far inferior to those outer disciples who are already in the late stage of Qi Gathering. Wanqing said.
That? Lin Tian scratched his head.
"Hehe, now that you have broken through to the early stage of the Qi Gathering Period, with Xuan Qi, you can cultivate martial arts and sprint to the middle stage of Qi Gathering, as for whether you can gain something in a short period of time, it's up to you." Wan Qing said again.
"The biggest key point in the middle stage of qi gathering is to master one's own Xuan Qi, and to be able to release it externally, and to retract and release it freely. In this way, you can perform the exercises and mystical techniques. Wan Qing paced back and forth with her hands in her hands.
"Does that master mean that I am now starting to sprint to the middle stage of qi gathering?" Lin Tian's face was full of anticipation.
"Yes, according to the cultivation speed of a normal person, it will take at least a year or two to break through a small realm, but you have an innate martial bone, your cultivation talent is different from that of ordinary people, and you are cultivating on the cold ice stone, and your cultivation resources are very rich." After Wan Qing finished speaking, she pointed to Lin Tian's eyebrows.
Suddenly, Lin Tian felt that there was countless information coming from his mind, not only the cultivation method of the mid-stage Qi Gathering Method, but also two martial arts. Feeling this information, Lin Tianmei smiled: Thank you for your great kindness! After speaking, he bowed deeply to Wanqing.
"Okay, you have all the mental martial arts, I hope you don't let us down." After speaking, Wanqing's figure flashed and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Tian was extremely excited at the moment, he had broken through to the middle stage, and if he cultivated martial arts, he would really be a martial artist again.
As if he had forgotten something, Lin Tian jumped happily to the cold ice stone, and then sat down again......
Yes! As expected, a scream resounded through the cave.
Lin Tian instantly bounced up, jumped aside, stunned in place, and then scratched his head embarrassedly, he was a little overexcited.
Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend the operation of the mid-stage qi gathering in his mind. When he felt that he had memorized it backwards, he began to try to work his mind, and then tried again and again.
At the beginning, Lin Tian didn't have the key to comprehending the Dao Heart Method, and whenever he used the Xuan Qi to the Great Dao meridians, he couldn't gather them in the palm of his hand.
However, Lin Tian was not discouraged, he felt it over and over again, and tried again and again......
A few more days passed, and there were still five days left before the Wubi.
On this day, when Lin Tian sank into his mind and used all the power of his mind to run his mind, and then his palms shook forward, he only felt that the Xuan Qi gathered in his palms in his body swayed out slightly.
Lin Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, it's done! In the past few days, Lin Tian has been cultivating day and night, and finally mastered the mystery of hitting the Xuan Qi outward. In the past few days, he forgot to sleep and eat, licked the drops of water on the mountain wall when he was thirsty, and caught a few mice in the hole and froze them alive when he was hungry, so as not to waste his hard work.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian tightened his fists, there were still five days left, and he could cultivate a martial art.
Just do it, Lin Tian sat down cross-legged again, and carefully comprehended the martial arts technique that Wanqing left him.
This martial art is called fist and foot technique, and there are a total of 12 moves in one punch and one kick, all of which are introductory exercises. Lin Tian frowned and pondered, it turned out that what the master had passed on to him was only the introductory exercises, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
Then he realized another martial art, this exercise is called the hand-grabbing technique, but he must be proficient in fist and foot Dafa before he can practice this martial art. Lin Tian shook his head and sighed, it was a pity that he finally had some decent martial arts but couldn't cultivate yet.
Maybe you can only practice this fist and foot technique first.
Then Lin Tian sank into his heart and realized the first move of the fist and foot technique: heavy punch! The secret of this move is to condense the Xuan Qi and power of the whole body into a fist, and then blast out with a punch. The key to this move is the momentum, that is, the momentum of the punch. The momentum should be sufficient, and the strength should be domineering.
Understanding the essence of this move, Lin Tian began to use the Xuan Qi and power in his body to gather them all into a fist, and then blasted out with a punch.
I only heard a snort, and with a punch, there was a trace of breaking wind.
But Lin Tian's brows furrowed deeply, it turned out that when he punched just now, he found that his strength and Xuan Qi could not be effectively combined, and his punch power was punched, but Xuan Qi was slowly released in the back, which can be said to be powerless.
Lin Tian shook his head unconsciously, it seemed that although this was the most basic martial art, it was not as simple as it seemed.
Retracting his thoughts, Lin Tian sank into his mind again, condensed his Xuan Qi and began to try again and again. At first, Lin Tian couldn't fuse his strength and Xuan Qi together, but as the number of cultivation times increased, Lin Tian slowly found a trace of feeling and found that balance.
After tens of thousands of punch swings, at a certain moment, Lin Tian sank into his mind and condensed the essence of his whole body, and then his eyes opened and he punched out. I only heard a slight sound of breaking the wind, and a wave of fist power rushed out from Lin Tian's fist.
It's done! Lin Tian's heart was overjoyed, and then he collapsed to the ground, he had swung tens of thousands of punches in the past two days, and he was too tired.
"Senior brother, I'm here!" Without waiting for him to rest for a while, Mu Xue's delicate voice came from the entrance of the cave.
Lin Tian was overjoyed, this good senior sister finally came, and if she didn't come, she would starve to death in the cave.
Before he could get up, Mu Xue appeared in front of him, and today she was still wearing the same beige dress and carrying a basket of meals in her hand.
Seeing Lin Tian, Mu Xue grinned: Miss me! I knew you missed me.
Lin Tian scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, and then looked at the basket in Mu Xue's hand.
"Humph! Is food more important than me," Mu Xue said stubbornly.
No, it must be that the senior sister is important, but I'm a little hungry. Without waiting for Mu Xue to respond, Lin Tianyi took the basket and began to gobble it up, as fierce as a hungry tiger pounced.
Mu Xue, who wanted to be angry, was distressed when she saw Lin Tian's appearance.
Soon, Lin Tian finally felt full, and finally eaten, Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Mu Xue smiled, "Senior brother, you have worked hard, how have you been cultivating in the past few days?" ”
He has already gathered qi in the middle stage and has begun to cultivate martial arts. Lin Tian replied seriously.
When Mu Xue heard this, her eyes widened.
This is the middle stage of gathering qi?? The last time I came, you hadn't even broken through to the early stage of Qi gathering. That's perverted, isn't it? Mu Xue couldn't believe it.
Lin Tian scratched his head embarrassedly.
"But it's okay, three days later, it will be the inner door selection competition, although there is a gap between you and Zhou Yu and those people in the middle of your current gathering, but your strength is not as disparity as before, although you can't win, but you should still not be crushed." Mu Xue muttered in a low voice.
What? There are only three days left? Lin Tian was surprised.
It turns out that these days, I have been immersed in cultivation and have forgotten time.
After chatting with Mu Xue for a while and sending her away, Lin Tian began to practice the second move of the fist and foot technique.
The second move is footwork, sweeping. The cultivation method of footwork is similar to the first move, but more attention is paid to the timing and angle of the kick, and one kick is swept out, even if you can't hit the opponent, you can open the distance and position.
In this way, Lin Tian began to cultivate over and over again, sweeping out with one foot.
Two days later, when Lin Tian swept out, a sound of breaking wind came, and a cloud of dust stirred up in the distance.
Well, this trick can be regarded as half a catty and eight taels of cultivation, Lin Tian slandered in his heart. However, at this moment, he felt that his body was extremely empty, and the cultivation in the past few days had already exhausted the Xuan Qi in his body.
Lin Tian looked at the entrance of the cave, it was time to go back.
But before I go back, I have to add Xuanqi.
Immediately, he came to the ice stone, sat down cross-legged, put one hand on the ice stone and began to run his mind and absorb the aura.
After a few hours, feeling the recovery of the dantian's Xuan Qi, Lin Tian let out a long breath of relief, then stood up and walked out of the cave.
Back in the courtyard, Lin Tian went to take a bath, changed clothes, and then lay comfortably on the bed and closed the door to recuperate.
Knock knock! Knock knock! Outside the bamboo door, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Tian turned over and opened the bamboo door with a creak, only to see Mu Xue standing outside the door.
Senior sister, why are you here so late? Lin Tian asked curiously.
"Senior brother, tomorrow is the day of the martial arts competition, the master asked me to come and remind you to make some preparations, whether you can win the martial arts competition or not, just go all out." Mu Xue looked at Lin Tian with a smile.
Well, I got it! I'm going to do my best. Lin Tian nodded.
"Well, this is what I gave you." After speaking, Mu Xue took out a bottle of elixir from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Tian.
This is? Lin Tian was puzzled.
"This is the Recovery Pill, which is used to treat internal injuries." Mu Xue blinked.
"Then thank you, senior sister." Lin Tian put away the pill.
Come on, Mu Xue patted Lin Tian's head, then turned around and left with a smile.
"I'll accompany you to the Xuanwu Field tomorrow," Mu Xue's voice floated from afar again.
Lin Tian shook his head and smiled, then returned to the room and fell asleep. He has to recharge his energy and prepare for tomorrow's competition.
The next day, when a morning sun shone into the windowsill, Lin Tian opened his eyes.
"It's been like this." Lin Tian hurriedly jumped up and pushed open the bamboo door.
I saw that Mu Xue was already waiting at the door, today she was wearing a light red dress, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, and her big watery eyes revealed the taste of ice and jade.
"Senior brother, let's go, Wubi is ready to start." After speaking, she grabbed Lin Tian's hand and ran towards Xuanwu Terrace.
Half a quarter of an hour later, when Lin Tian and the others came to the Xuanwu Terrace not far away, they saw that the Xuanwu Terrace was surrounded by colorful flags, and the rows of stone steps were densely packed with people, including inner disciples, outer disciples, miscellaneous disciples, trial disciples and some stewards of the sect. In front of the Xuanwu Terrace, there was a row of elders, led by the sect leader Xu Xiaotian, as well as the Great Elder, Mu Lao, Shizun Wanqing and others were also among them.
Go, Mu Xue led Lin Tian towards the exclusive area of the inner disciples.
Seeing the two of them coming, the hundred or so disciples of the inner door looked at them with their eyes, some disdainful, some sarcastic, and some cold.
Mu Xue ignored everyone's eyes, led Lin Tian to find a vacant seat and was about to sit down.
"Wait! Mu Xue You can sit, but the one next to you can't. Suddenly, a young man in the crowd stood up and drank at the people, he was none other than Wang Feng, the third disciple of the inner gate.
Why can't you sit? Mu Xue stared at him.
Wang Feng did not answer, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the Xuanwu platform in the field.
Everyone nodded in response.
Lin Tian glanced at everyone, and was about to speak, when he saw a voice coming from the main podium in the distance:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the annual inner door qualification selection martial arts competition, we are here today to set up a competition, whether it is an outer disciple, a miscellaneous disciple, or a trial disciple, as long as they win the top three in today's martial arts competition, they can join the inner door and become an inner disciple!" In the distance, the Great Elder said to the people around him.
What? Three places to be admitted this year? There was a lot of discussion in an instant, because in previous years, only when he became the first in the martial arts competition could he have the opportunity to enter the inner door, or if there was an inner door tutor who took a fancy to find another way to enter the inner door. It can be said that this year is the most loose recruitment for the inner door.
Hearing this, the inner disciples all shook their heads bitterly, thinking that they had gone through a lot of hardships to win the first place in the martial arts competition and join the inner gate. What's more, after participating in the martial arts competition for many years, he won a chance. This is good, this year, three places at a time, how can they not be sad.
"You don't have to talk about it, because there are more outstanding talents this year, and this is the unanimous decision of the sect's elder group." The Grand Elder added.
Xu Xiaotian also glanced around, and the scene instantly quieted down.
"Okay, now I announce that the martial arts competition has officially begun, there are no rules for the competition, and all disciples who want to participate in the competition can go up to the Xuanwu platform to challenge each other by themselves. In the end, the top three who remained on the martial arts platform won this martial arts competition. The Great Elder announced in a loud voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was eager to try.
Wubi officially kicked off.
