It's early winter.

However, in places like Haicheng, because the monsoon blows from the sea from time to time, the temperature is still slightly higher than in the inland area, and it still looks like late autumn.

Xiao Mo followed the old man, walked through several rows of bamboo houses, and finally came to the backyard of this garden.

The backyard is not big, only about a dozen zhang square, planted with a variety of bright and precious flowers, compared with the front yard, more rare and precious.

In the corner of the wall, there was an ancient well, and on top of the ancient well, there was a wooden wheel, on which a rope was tied, and a wooden barrel was hung down, apparently for drawing water.

The old man took Xiao Mo and went straight to the well, stretched out his hand, and at some point, two more straw futons appeared in his palm.

He himself sat down on top of one of them, then threw the other futon to the opposite side and stretched out his hand to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo immediately understood, and did not hesitate, and immediately sat down and faced the old man.

The old man looked at Xiao Mo and said, "If you want to learn the Ten Thousand Flower Blossom Return Technique, originally, you should need to cultivate at least above the Qi Realm before it is possible. Because only in the realm of things can we cultivate our minds and control things. However, I see that your mind seems to be far stronger than others, although you are only in the realm of freedom, but you can barely practice one or two, but if you want to make this Ten Thousand Peanuts return technique exert its true power, you still need to wait until you have cultivated to the realm of Qi and mastered the mind before it is possible. ”

"The realm of things, the mind ......"

Xiao Mo nodded secretly in his heart, knowing that what the old man said was true.

The Nine Realms of Heart Cultivation, the First Realm of Leisure, is only a preliminary condensation of the Heart Yuan, and the Heart Yuan can be able to attack and protect externally, and even improve people's physical fitness.

This is the fundamental reason why mental cultivators are different from ordinary people, but it is only the introductory stage of mental cultivation.

At this point, it still belongs to the category of "force".

And the people who cultivate the mind, who can really exert their abilities far beyond ordinary people, and are respected and feared, at least get the Qi Realm.

Because only when you reach the realm of Qi things, the mind will transform into a stronger level of mind, and once the mind is completed, you can start to control things at close range, and as the mind continues to become stronger and more familiar with the control, and finally achieve the legendary head of a person thousands of miles away, flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people.

With this step, we have already departed from "force" and approached the category of "law", which in the eyes of ordinary people is no different from the methods of the gods.

The mind is a special power, a fusion of the mind and the mind, which cannot be seen or touched, but can act on any object around it.

For example, if an ordinary person wants to pick up a teacup, his hand must touch the body of the teacup before he can pick it up, but after cultivating his mind, his hand does not move his feet, as long as he holds or binds the teacup, he can lift it in the air, just like an invisible person standing below.

This method is naturally thousands of times more powerful than Xiao Mo's current attack and defense, which can only be possessed by the heart element, and of course it is more mysterious and mysterious.

Originally, Xiao Mo thought that Dao-level secret techniques must not be so easy to cultivate, there should be some threshold or difficulty, if there is no at all, then it is called strange. Now that I heard the old man say this, I naturally understood, but I was more curious and looking forward to the power of the Ten Thousand Flower Rejuvenation Technique.

Even if he can only learn a little bit now, far from being able to use it flexibly, it is equivalent to opening the door to a new world for him.

The old man didn't care what Xiao Mo was thinking, and said to himself: "Learn the Ten Thousand Peanut Return Technique, the Qi Realm is the threshold, but the mind is strong enough to practice reluctantly, but before that, you still need to understand, what is the Qi of Heaven and Earth?"

"The Qi of Heaven and Earth?"

Xiao Mo asked suspiciously.

"Not bad. ”

The old man looked at Xiao Mo with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "Then, let me ask you, in your understanding, what is qi?"

"Angry?"

Xiao Mo thought for a while, and then replied: "Qi is an invisible but qualitative energy between heaven and earth, and it is the origin of everything in the world. Ancient books are loaded, too void and airy, omnipresent, clear yang for the sky, turbidity yin for the earth, up and clouds, rain down, create all things, and nurture the universe. ”

"Not bad. ”

The old man's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he said, "I didn't expect that you have a certain understanding of qi, which will be of great help to your next cultivation." ”

At this point, he stretched out a hand and said, "Come and see ......."

When Xiao Mo heard this, he looked down, and saw the old man pointing forward with a finger, at first there was nothing, and slowly, on his fingertips, a wisp of pale white smoke began to appear, like a white snake swimming, as if gathering and scattering.

"This is qi, but it is only a type of qi. ”

"Look again!"

As the old man's words fell, his fingers retracted, turned into palms, and gently flicked towards a jasper-shaped flower in front of him.

With his flick, the flowers shook slightly, and just when Xiao Mo didn't understand what was happening, a strange scene happened.

On top of the entire jasper flower, a pale green haze suddenly evaporated, like a cloud.

As soon as this haze appeared, the large jasper-colored flower seemed to shimmer instantly, and the originally full and crystalline petals instantly became a little darker, and its size also shrank a little.

Seeing this, the old man opened his mouth to explain: "Everything in the world has its own unique 'qi'. If I force out the qi of this jasper begonia, the jasper begonia will wither, but if I return the qi to it, it will be able to live and shine in an instant. ”

After speaking, the palm of the hand was like a stream of water, and like a spring breeze blowing, those green gases, suddenly gathered towards the flowers again in an instant, and then disappeared without a trace, and the big flower of the sea bowl jasper begonia under the old man's palm also recovered its original crystalline, and even more full and green, and the petals were more crystal clear.

The old man withdrew his palm, looked at Xiao Mo, and said: "If you understand the qi, you will know what it means to return to the ten thousand flowers, this is a method that allows you to control the qi of heaven and earth freely, extract the qi of things, it will wither and perish, and inject the qi it needs, it will grow and survive." Use it righteously, use it evilly. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Mo finally suddenly realized and said: "That's why the flowers planted by the predecessors are so extraordinary, and they survive for so long, it is because of the use of the Ten Thousand Peanut Return Technique for special cultivation." Infused with the qi of heaven and earth, so they are far brighter and brighter than normal flowers, and at first glance they feel full of a special charm and vitality, and even if they are picked, the preservation time is dozens of times longer than the death time of normal flowers, until the qi in them dissipates, they begin to officially wither. ”

"Not bad. ”

The old man said: "The world doesn't know, they can't understand or can't accept things called demons, but this is nothing to me, because the old man never needs to rely on planting flowers and selling flowers to make a living, this is just my practice of ten thousand peanuts and return to the arts, but also my interests and hobbies, someone is willing to buy, the old man will give him the fragrance of flowers, unwilling, that is also their blessing, as for the world's misunderstanding and accusations, what does it have to do with me?"

Speaking of this, he looked proud, although he was a servant, there was something on his face that made Xiao Mo couldn't help but be moved and gave birth to respect.

And the old man didn't care about his thoughts, and said to Xiao Mo to himself: "Okay, I've told you so much, next, are you ready?If you're ready, then I'll officially start teaching you how to distinguish the qi of heaven and earth, if you feel the qi of heaven and earth, at the same time, how to use the qi of heaven and earth!"

"When you have learned all this, you will be able to learn the Ten Thousand Peanuts Technique as a matter of course. ”

"Yes, senior, junior is ready, please advise!"

At this moment, Xiao Mo was convinced and said respectfully.
