Zhang Dabao took the initiative to apologize to Liu Yi, and after the two reconciled, they said goodbye to each other and separated.

After returning to the hut, Liu Yi rolled up his sleeves and went to the field to start his work.

It was noon, and after lunch, Liu Yi returned to the hut and didn't go anywhere else.

He took out the Yin Yang Qi recipe he had hidden under the bed and read it carefully, he took the first piece of paper and looked at it word by word.

But the more he read it, the deeper his brow wrinkled, and he didn't read any more until he finished the first page.

Putting aside the copied exercises, Liu Yi sighed lightly with a look of regret on his face.

He only finished reading the first page, which stated that this exercise could only start cultivating until it reached the realm of refining internal qi, and that he could not cultivate until he refined qi.

"Whew," Liu Yi exhaled and lay down on his back, he didn't expect that he couldn't practice the exercises he had copied down for two nights.

To reach the realm of using internal force, even Li Jinting took a year, and now he doesn't feel any other breath except for the breath he felt when he took Tongluo Pill today.

And how long will it take him?

Calculating the time, it has been four months since he came to the sect, and there is not much time left until a year.

Liu Yi got up suddenly, he found his goal and reached the realm of cultivating internal strength within a year.

It's a pity that Li Jinting is in retreat now, otherwise you can ask him for advice on how to cultivate internal strength.

Putting the transcribed exercises back under the bed again, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

After a short break, it was time to cultivate, and he walked out of the hut and headed towards the Tianqian Courtyard.

In the central courtyard of Tianqian Courtyard, Liu Yi and Dong Yan sat on stone bricks surrounded by big trees.

The two were resting, and they had just finished practicing.

Dong Yan had a bruise on his face, and he lightly touched his nose with his fingertips and said, "Hiss~, how did you become stronger again after this time." ”

Liu Yi said: "This is the effect of Tongluo Dan, and my movements are much faster." ”

"Is this elixir so magical!" Dong Yan looked stunned.

He touched his chin and thought, "I'll have to find a way to try the whole pill too." ”

Seeing him pondering, Liu Yi asked, "Senior brother, what are you thinking?"

Dong Yan came back to his senses and said, "Ah? ”

"Today, Zhang Dabao took the initiative to come over and apologize to me. ”

"Ahh ”

Dong Yan was a little surprised at first, but when he thought of the dean of the Lihuo Academy, he didn't feel strange.

"Senior brother, how long do you think it will take for us to reach the realm of refining internal strength?"

Dong Yan scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about this, Master said that at my current speed, it will be about two years." ”

Listening to what he said, Liu Yi was silent, although he won him in the fight this time, he knew that this senior brother had not done his best.

It seems that it seems a little out of reach for me to cultivate my internal strength in a year.

Dong Yan looked at the sky and said: "Normally, if you practice internal strength in two to three years, you are already a person with good talent, like Senior Brother Li Jinting, who can reach it in one year, it is already a very demonic talent." ”

"Yes, but it would be nice if there was a way to quickly train internal strength. ”

Dong Yan turned his head to look at him and said, "Senior brother, you must not mess around by yourself." ”

Liu Yi said: "Don't worry, senior brother, I just said it casually, and gradual progress is the right way." ”

Dong Yan's eyes rolled and said, "Let's go, junior brother, take you somewhere." ”

Liu Yi was curious, and followed him down the stone bricks and walked towards the back of the Tianqian Courtyard.

After walking for a while, the two came to a clearing in the backyard, and the two of them surrounded a huge ball carved in stone, and Liu Yi estimated that he couldn't hold it with both hands together.

Dong Yan pointed to this huge round stone and said: "This stone is used to test strength, about eight hundred catties, my master said that when I can lift this stone off the ground, I will be able to cultivate internal strength." ”

"Ah!" Liu Yi's face became stunned again, how could he lift the weight of eight hundred catties.

He asked, "Can I try it?"

"Well, of course, you can be, you be careful not to hurt yourself. ”

The cobblestone base is square and narrow, and Liu Yi squatted down and hugged the cobblestone base with both hands.

He inhaled and lifted it upwards.

As a teenager, his arm was as small as a twig compared to a round stone, and no matter how hard he tried, even if his face turned red, the round stone would not move at all.

Liu Yi gave up, he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is too heavy." ”

Dong Yan smiled and said: "An inch off the ground is considered to be lifted, you don't need to lift how high you are, but you must lift it, this is the minimum standard for testing your physical strength." ”

"Why do you want to cite this?"

"The use of internal force requires a strong body, if the body is too weak to withstand the operation of internal force, it will harm yourself. ”

"I think I've seen this thing. ”

Dong Yan turned his head and asked, "Where have you seen it?"

"There's one right next to my hut, and I don't know what it's for. ”

"There are indeed a lot of things in the sect. ”

"But Master didn't tell me to focus on cultivating strength. ”

Dong Yan pondered and said, "This is not clear, it may be that the cultivation methods are different, you can ask Uncle Yun." ”

He patted Liu Yi and said, "Okay, don't think about it, it's a matter of time before you lift it with your talent." ”

The two didn't talk much at dusk, and the two walked side by side to the dining room.

Walking into the dining room, the two separated, and Liu Yi sat with the lark.

Skylark said, "Did you feel any other discomfort after taking the medicine today?" ”

Liu Yi said: "Master doesn't feel anything else, and my speed is a little faster." ”

"This is indeed the effect of the Tongluo Pill, and when you cultivate your internal strength, it will be more beneficial. ”

"Master, Senior Brother Dong Yan said that you have to lift 800 catties of cobblestone to reach the standard of being able to run internal force, is that true?"

"What Dong Yan said is good, but it's not all right, lifting a round stone can only show the strength of the body, and the operation of internal force depends not only on strength, the exercises you practice are different from him, so you don't have to care too much about the cultivation of strength. ”

"But Master, how long will it take me to cultivate my internal strength? ”

Looking at Liu Yi with a look of loss on his face, the lark said, "Actually, you can already start cultivating internal strength." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yi's face was full of doubts, he didn't understand what the master meant.

The lark smiled softly and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Hmm," Liu Yi nodded heavily and took a big gulp.

After eating, the master and apprentice sat outside the hut, and the two sat on the ground.

The starry sky overhead, the sound of cicadas in your ears is moving.

Skylark said: "The essence of internal force is actually the power of the body, which is invisible like the fist you played, everyone has internal force in their body, and what we call qi refining is to cultivate and grow this power, and be able to control it as you like." ”

As he spoke, he spread one hand flat in front of him, his fingers were pressed together, and he clenched his fists and continued: "If a person's physical body has a limit no matter how it is cultivated, there is a limit to speed, strength, etc., and internal force is like a tool that can make you run faster and stronger. ”

Liu Yi also basically understood what the master said, and he asked what he was most concerned about: "Then what do you mean by the fact that Master said that I can already start cultivating internal strength, Senior Brother Dong Yan said that it will take him two years to cultivate." ”

Skylark Zi said: "Actually, this is caused by different methods, Dong Yan's cultivation method is to temper himself, when the body reaches a certain level, it can directly withstand the huge internal force, which can be said to be the safest way." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi somewhat understood, what the master meant was to hand him over a completely unethical method and it was dangerous.

Naturally, he was not afraid of danger and just wanted to cultivate quickly, and he asked, "Master, do you mean there are other methods?"

Skylark's face became serious, and he said: "There is another way to directly cultivate internal force, and the cultivation is carried out together with physical cultivation at the same time, but there is a certain risk, if the internal force is not controlled well, the muscles and veins will be destroyed, and at least you will not be able to achieve qi refining for life, and at worst you will die!"

Liu Yi was silent, the consequences were indeed terrible, but he didn't seem to have a choice.

He asked, "Master, how long does it take for this method to cultivate internal strength?"

"It's okay for a few days, but this method is about talent, and Li Jinting uses this method. ”

"What! Did Senior Brother Li use this method as well?"

"Well, but his current internal strength cultivation is not very high, do you really plan to cultivate with this method?"

Liu Yi said firmly: "I believe that Senior Brother Li can do it, and I can do it too." ”

His tone was confident and firm, and the lark didn't say anything more.

Standing up, he said, "Okay, it's not too early, you rest first, tomorrow we will go to the meditation platform and I will give you the method." ”

"It's Master!"

After saying goodbye to the master, Liu Yi returned to the hut and lay on the bed, he had never been so excited and looking forward to it, but rest was necessary, he calmed his mood and gradually fell asleep.
