Meng Zhou did not stop there, as the founder of this new exercise, he could clearly feel that there was still a lot of unfinished potential that had not been fully explored.

He didn't reach the limits of what he was capable of now.

However, thinking about all this can be saved for the day after tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after finishing a night of practice, Meng Zhou checked his personal status, "Realm: Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer 99/100".

On this day, Meng Zhou neither went to the bottom of the pond to practice, nor did he provoke the grumpy bears, but stayed quietly in the stone room to meditate.

The self-created horizontal training method, although it is still at the grandmaster level, has a higher degree of compatibility with himself, and secondly, it is indeed above the bear horizontal training method, and the daily extreme experience has increased from grandmaster +120 to +150.

It didn't take much more time, but even slightly less, allowing him to invest more time in the knot than planned, from day +2 to day +3 again.

This night, without any accidents, Meng Zhou quietly completed the breakthrough from the seventh layer of Qi training to the eighth layer of Qi training in the retreat cultivation.

Early the next morning, as soon as he finished his cultivation, Meng Zhou clicked on his personal information to check the changes brought about by this breakthrough.

……

[Name: Meng Zhou]

[Lifespan: 51/103 years] (+4 years)

【Status:Healthy】

[Realm: Eighth Layer of Qi Training: 1/100]

……

With this breakthrough, the upper limit of life increased by four years again, which was not too unexpected for Meng Zhou.

This is not so much an "increase", but more precisely a "recovery".

It is the cultivation of the Yan Flame Technique, which has the characteristics of violent killing, if the cultivation reaches the late stage of Qi cultivation, if there is no accident, the life limit of one hundred and twenty or thirty years old is generally the end of life.

And if it is a practice that focuses on warmth and healing, the upper limit of life expectancy will be even longer.

Now, whether it is the increase in longevity brought about by the Fundamental Exercises, the enhancement of cultivation, daily cultivation, and even the increase in longevity brought about by the Flesh Body Horizontal Cultivation Method that he is currently cultivating, it is just a process of forcibly reclaiming what his body has been hollowed out and lost by demonic skills.

Therefore, the increase in the upper limit of life did not come as much as he expected.

What he paid the most attention to was the change in [state], which finally changed from "sub-health" that had not changed for a short time after crossing over to "health".

Meng Zhou guessed that for Qi cultivators, the upper limit of life of one hundred years was a watershed.

"At this level, until today, I can barely be regarded as a qualified Qi cultivator.

Before, no matter what the combat strength was, there were more or less foreign powerhouses. ”

When the time was almost noon, Meng Zhou used his flying sword and came to the mountains infested with bears again.

A dark brown giant bear with a head and hip length of more than six meters and a human standing more than eight meters is struggling with a hard mountain rock with a blue-black color, constantly colliding and rubbing against it.

This giant bear had extremely sharp animal instincts, and even though Meng Zhou was already very careful and hidden, he was still locked by it when he was still ten meters away from it.

And as its dark brown gaze locked on, Meng Zhou clearly felt that the gravity around his body was suddenly abnormal, at least reaching more than five times the usual amount, which was better than the extreme effect of the Earth Force Rune Array on the Three-legged Ding.

When the giant bear saw that its prey was restrained, it was so nervous that it was about to immediately open its mouth and roar to inform the bears of warning, and it immediately closed its mouth, landed on all fours, opened its mouth wide, and pounced on him.

As it runs, its muscles and fur are surging like waves, and its body is covered with yellow light.

It gives a wonderful feeling of being both agile and clumsy, reckless and cautious.

And just as the giant bear was about to get closer, a mana hand with a perfection-level ice talisman appeared behind its head.

With a rune, a thin layer of frost condensed into the body of the huge bear.

Even its bloodthirsty consciousness was briefly interrupted, and the yellow light that had been stimulated by its consciousness and lingering around it disappeared in an instant.

The huge force hidden under its fat fat is rapidly dissolving the restraining force imposed by this layer of ice talismans, and together it has a majestic potential, and at most a few breaths, it can wash away this layer of obstacles.

But of course, Meng Zhou wouldn't give it any chance, and a flying sword had been instantly inserted between its head and neck.

With a slight twist, the huge bear head that was about to fly high was intercepted by his mana hand and stored in the storage bag in advance.

Soon, the huge bear body was quickly disassembled with the cooperation of the flying sword controlled by the mind and the magic sword in hand, and all of them were disassembled into multiple storage bags.

With his strength, it is not difficult to deal with these giant bears at all.

Even if it has first-order high-grade strength, it doesn't play any tricks and confronts it head-on, and if it wants to solve it, it won't take more than ten breaths at most.

The real problem is whether he can get rid of it before he sends a signal to the other bears.

Because of the different needs, the battle mode in which he came to this "Bear Mountain" was divided into two types.

One is to obtain the meat of demon beasts, which is naturally full of firepower and quick battles.

The rapid development of the horizontal practice method, on the other hand, is that the appetite has increased greatly, the consumption is huge, and the demon beast meat is more suitable than the spirit rice.

Meng Zhou naturally wouldn't let go of this treasure trove of resources in front of him, and he had already foreseen this situation before leaving Warm Cloud Valley.

Even the resources that are being supplemented are Lingmi Ling Tea, and the demon beast meat is not replenished at all, just because it is taken into account that you can take the nearest materials.

Not only is the material fresh, but it can also save a lot of spirit stones.

And then there's the fight itself with the bears.

After splitting the unlucky giant bear that was in his photo and crashing it into the storage bag, Meng Zhou put away the magic sword, and the flying sword was also hidden close to his body, and his body disappeared between the mountains.

Soon, the roar of the giant bear rang out, and more giant bears were drawn to the area.

Meng Zhou did not wait for the group of bears to fight, but used his flexible body and movement speed far beyond the giant bear to move between the bears at will.

As for which giant bear to fight with, it depends on his needs and mood.

The giant bears attracted by the roar of their kind were like commodities on the supermarket shelves for him to choose from.

Each giant bear monster beast has its own bias in attributes because of its different bloodlines.

The number of brown bears in the partial soil system is the largest, followed by the red bears in the partial fire system, and the number of white bears in the partial ice system is much smaller than the two.

Today, because of demand, the battle targets selected by Meng Zhou are all ice white bears.

Sometimes, in order to feel it more clearly, he even did not hesitate to take a few slaps while ensuring his own safety, and experienced the feeling of the cold power penetrating into the skin membrane and viscera, and even burrowing into the bone marrow little by little.

For the next two days, Meng Zhou haunted this bear mountain, picking white bears to fight and feel their icy power.

Two days later, Meng Zhou plunged headlong into the deep pool again, in order to make the feeling clearer, the ice talisman was used by him as a kind of minor material, and from time to time he took a picture on his body, feeling the feeling of cold entering the marrow and even the brain.

During this period, the method of turtle breath also entered the consummation.

From the beginning to the end of his cultivation, he could stay underwater without the slightest problem, and his skin and all the pores could capture the air in the water for him to stay underwater for a long time.

Two days later, I went to Bear Mountain to find a white bear sparring partner.

His purpose was already obvious, to feel the power of the cold, and eventually to digest it and use it for his own purposes.

But he doesn't want ice, just cold.

If he simply added the power of cold to his self-created horizontal training method, he could do it in three days at most.

The reason why it took more time was that he had to peel off the "ice" as long as it was "cold".

This has to do with his understanding of "water-based".

In his understanding, the water in "aqueous" is by no means H2O, but liquid and soft.

Only in this way can the basic virtues that give "water" live up to its name.

Once the water turns into ice, it can basically be seen as a distinction from "watery".

But "cold" is different, it is the intrinsic attribute of water, or in other words, it is the intrinsic attribute of all things.

Moreover, there is no limit, and there is no such thing as "water" must turn into "ice" when it is cold to a certain extent.

……

Meng Zhou stood naked in the stone chamber.

The Ice Talisman of the Perfection level was slapped on him by him, and because he deliberately did not resist, a thick layer of frost condensed on the surface of his body, limbs and torso.

Hidden deep under the epithelium, the blood that runs through the whole body is flowing rapidly.

But Meng Zhou not only did not use the power of qi and blood to expel the ice covering the surface of his body, but instead took the initiative to restrain the majestic power of qi and blood.

Carefully comprehend the "cold power" hidden in the ice, and reappear little by little in the blood flow.

At a certain moment, Meng Zhoufu's soul was like a mortise and tenon joint, and he immediately found the most suitable point.

The evil qi that was instinctively uncomfortable for cultivators poured into the body more, and the cold power began to be born little by little, blending with the power of qi and blood hidden in the skin membranes, viscera, blood veins, muscles and bones.

More precisely, it should not be called "birth", but "manifestation".

Because Meng Zhou realized that cold is not one with ice, and heat is not bound to fire.

Cold and heat are the natural properties of all living objects.

They were in his veins and bones long before he felt them, but because he was never aware of them, they were always hidden.

Now, he's just finding it out and changing it from implicit to explicit.

Meng Zhou, who grasped this subtle mystery, his heart gently agitated, and the power instantly spread all over his body, and the solid ice covering his body shattered and flew.

In the continuous agitation of his heart, the power of qi and blood hidden in the epithelial organs, blood vessels, muscles and bones, and even the depths of the bone marrow was stimulated and mobilized.

This kind of mobilization of the power of qi and blood would not last long, and when the power of qi and blood is exhausted, the body will usher in a comprehensive weakness.

But at this moment, with the addition of the mana of the eighth layer of Qi training, the Grandmaster-level Water Nourishment Technique Mana is like a supercar fuel tank that is always plugged into an oil pipeline.

The mana of the water nourishing body formula actually broke the shackles and became a steady stream of stamina support for the power of qi and blood.

Then, Meng Zhou collected the power of qi and blood, stood at the exit of the passage, and waved a mana of water nourishing body at the waterhole in front of him.

At the moment when the mana was mobilized and left the body, the cold power hidden in the skin membranes, muscles and bones, and viscera and blood vessels naturally integrated into it.

In the next moment, the mana hit the water, and the temperature of the area plummeted, and several pieces of solid ice appeared.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhou shot a wave of majestic mana towards the rapidly falling waterfall in the distance.

A large waterfall turned into solid ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, falling on the waterhole, and being shattered by the subsequent flowing water.

Ice chips flying.

This kind of power is not worse than those cold spells, and it is more arbitrary in actual combat.

However, if you look at the mana characteristics of the water nourishment and body nourishment technique, it does not have the slightest cold power, and it is still known for its gentleness, and it is the least good at killing and fighting the water system treatment and warm cultivation mana.

Because these cold powers are hidden in the qi and blood around him, and when he doesn't use them, they are well hidden as they were hidden in the past, and they only appear when they are used.

And as the barrier between his self-created horizontal practice method and the cultivation method disappeared, it was wonderfully connected.

On the one hand, mana becomes the stamina support for the power of qi and blood.

On the other hand, the power of qi and blood can bless its power while ensuring the purity of mana.

They are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other.

They complement each other and bless each other.

"This is a dual-core drive, right?"

And just as the horizontal practice method completes this step of evolution, the corresponding information changes.

“？？？ Grandmaster: 1380/1600 "becomes" ??? Grandmaster: 605/2400".

Judging from the changes in experience alone, the level of this horizontal practice method is already at the same level as the water nourishing and moisturizing technique, and the two are side by side.

Since then, the purpose of Meng Zhou's visit has been fully achieved.

Meng Zhou took stock of the supplies he was carrying.

The biggest consumption is spirit stones, and after cultivating to the eighth level of Qi training, fifteen lower-grade spirit stones will be consumed for daily cultivation.

Not only does cultivation consume spirit stones, but also spirit stones are consumed to restore mana.

The high-intensity cultivation of the horizontal practice method, in order to keep the body at its peak at all times, the consumption of mana is also huge.

In order to restore mana, several low-grade spirit stones are also consumed every day.

However, he had a lot of spirit stones reserved on him, and he also made a windfall on the way over, which was enough for him to use for a long time.

Although the amount of food has increased greatly, the consumption of spiritual rice is not much, and his recipes these days are mostly based on demon beast meat.

There are still a lot of food reserves, and it is still very early to bottom.

Moreover, these days he has been cultivating again, so that he has become accustomed to and even somewhat liked the atmosphere here.

Although the consumption is much greater than cultivating in the spiritual vein, this state is even more difficult.

So, Meng Zhou decided to retreat here for a while.

The self-created horizontal practice method was named "White Bear Cold Pole Body" by Meng Zhou, and the experience gain is still +150 per day.

It's just that with the same experience gain, the cultivation time invested in it has been shortened a lot.

In other words, the new horizontal practice is also more effective at destroying oneself, allowing the body to reach the limit of what it can withstand for the day at a faster rate.

The rest of the time was devoted to the practice of the hundred methods of knotting.

+4 for 100 knots, and the daily experience has reached a new level.

Although it is still a nascent achievement, the speed of knotting the rope with both hands and the speed of hand-brain cooperation have also been significantly improved.

Originally, it took about three hours to complete each hundred knots, but now it takes less than two and a half hours, and it takes about nine and a half hours to complete four rounds.

On the other hand, after cultivating to reach the eighth level of Qi training, the efficiency of cultivation is much lower than when practicing Qi at the seventh level.

Dropped from +19 every 6 days to +8 every 6 days.

A friend provided the idea of "water bear", thank you.

However, after careful consideration, I still feel that the style of painting is a little inappropriate, after all, except for the name, it really has nothing to do with "bear".

Actually, at first, the idea in my mind was to connect with the national treasure, and the legend of the Iron Eater was also good, but after thinking about it carefully, it still didn't work.

One is still a problem with the style of painting, which seems too playful; Another is that the fit with the water nourishment formula is really not enough, and it is a pity to abandon it.
