Chapter 95: Combining Rigidity and Softness
Two days later, taking advantage of Xiaoqiu's eagle walk, Ding Zhengyi asked her to inform Ding Zhengfeng and Ding Zhengping by the way, and let them come over to discuss something.
The two of them obviously also knew Ding Zhengyi's temperament, and understood that he would never be idle and elegant, so they easily put down their cultivation and went over to chat with them.
Combined with the current predicament of the two of them, what Ding Zhengyi was doing this time was basically about to come out, so they got Xiaoqiu's message, so they hurried over.
The three of them met under the bamboo building, and after a brief greeting of a few words, under the leadership of Ding Zhengyi, they walked up the stairs together and came to the cultivation retreat room on the second floor.
With the opening of the protective formation, Ding Zhengyi sat opposite to the two of them, at this time he was no longer as calm as before, his face was extremely serious, his eyes were deep and sharp, and an invisible momentum naturally surrounded his body, making people unconsciously have a trace of awe.
"How is your current cultivation?"
Time is quite precious to Ding Zhengyi, so he didn't say too much politeness, but asked straight to the point.
In fact, although Ding Zhengyi doesn't know everything about the current cultivation situation of the two of them, he can also be said to know it well.
At this time, let them repeat it again, in addition to the idea of reconfirmation, he also has the meaning of highlighting his dominance.
"More than half of the fourth layer of qi training has been accumulated, and the efficiency of meditation and qi training is still not slow, and after more than half a year of cultivation, it should not be a big problem to promote to the fifth level of qi training, but the refining aspect is still stuck in the bottleneck of entry, I have tried several times, but I can't advance an inch. ”
The two exchanged glances, and after Ding Zhengfeng nodded slightly, Ding Zhengping, who had a more cheerful personality, answered first.
"My gain in qi cultivation is not big, if you want to break through to the fifth layer of qi training, it will take at least two years of penance, but the eighth spiritual network of the fifth spiritual aperture, it should be able to dredge it in another year and a half, and reaching the acquired five spiritual apertures before the age of thirty should be nine out of ten, as for the progress in refining the body, it is almost exactly the same as the situation of the sixteenth brother. ”
Relatively speaking, Ding Zhengfeng was more calm, and he waited for Ding Zhengping to finish speaking, and then he spoke in an orderly manner.
In the past year or so, with the assistance of a large number of spiritual rice, the cultivation efficiency of the two of them was very different from that of a year ago, and at this time, they both had a somewhat confident look on their faces.
After more than 20 years of hardship, a lot of depression and troubles have accumulated, and once they were able to raise their eyebrows, they obviously had some irrepressible excitement, which was even mixed with a trace of pride and complacency.
Although the emotions of the two of them are deeply hidden, they are delicate in front of Ding Zhengyi's insight.
There is only one word difference between self-confidence and complacency, but the impact on cultivation is completely different, Ding Zhengyi naturally will not let them continue like this, he thinks about how to remind them to pay attention and adjust.
Just when Ding Zhengyi was silent, frowning and staring at the two of them, he happened to meet the eyes of Ding Zhengfeng and Ding Zhengping, and the six eyes of the three suddenly collided directly in the air, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
This wordless silence, as well as Ding Zhengyi's invisible momentum, brought inexplicable pressure to the two of them, making them involuntarily lower their eyes, and at the same time, the smugness on their faces disappeared, replaced by a trace of uneasiness.
Time seemed slow but fast, and it only took a few breaths for Ding Zhengyi to come back to his senses, but when he noticed the state of the two, he didn't rush to speak.
The purpose of this is very simple, Ding Zhengyi is to increase his majesty at the same time, and take the opportunity to properly knock and knock the two of them.
He clearly knows that in order to give full play to the maximum strength of a team, the person in charge must have a certain authority, so that he can be at the command of all members.
Although Ding Zhengyi didn't want to do this in his heart, there are no rules, and it is far from enough for a team to rely on family affection to maintain it, so at a critical moment, it is inevitable that there will be various accidents, and it may even endanger its own safety.
Therefore, some small daily means are indispensable in Ding Zhengyi's view, and this subtle psychological hint can not only improve the operational efficiency of the team, but also prevent the occurrence of yin and yang in a sense.
"Your efforts in cultivation are obvious to all, and the results you have achieved so far have made me very satisfied. ”
After waiting for a while, seeing that the faces of the two of them were getting worse and worse, Ding Zhengyi accepted it when he saw it, he nodded lightly and said in a slightly affirmative tone.
Blind oppression is not a reasonable way to conquer, Ding Zhengyi also understands the truth that things must be opposed, only by combining rigidity and softness, can the team grow strongly.
"However, in the process of cultivation, you must pay special attention to your own state of mind adjustment, otherwise even if your cultivation is high, you may eventually fall short. ”
Without waiting for the two of them to breathe a sigh of relief, Ding Zhengyi changed his tone again and reminded them seriously and seriously.
In a short period of time, the emotions of Ding Zhengfeng and Ding Zhengping alternated several times, and when they heard Ding Zhengyi's admonition, they both showed a thoughtful look.
"As for the breakthrough in the entry of body refining, in addition to the relevant experience, I can give you this. ”
After half a cup of tea, seeing that the two of them walked out of their thoughts with a little shame on their faces, Ding Zhengyi nodded with relief, he didn't waste any more time, and immediately spoke.
At the same time, Ding Zhengyi also took out a jade box from the storage bag, and after opening it gently, he put it in front of them.
Inside the jade box were two hundred-year-old peaches, which exuded an attractive fragrance at this time, and the skin of the fruit was also surrounded by an amazing spiritual rhyme.
"This is the Breitling Peach?!"
The two of them looked at it, obviously immediately understood what it was, their faces were full of disbelief, Ding Zhengping's mouth couldn't close at all, and Ding Zhengfeng, who was calmer, couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Yes, this is the Hundred Year Spirit Peach, this thing has a wonderful auxiliary effect on the forging body breakthrough, but its value is also very high, even if there are spirit stones, it is difficult to buy. ”
Now that he had taken out the Breenniling Peach, Ding Zhengyi didn't sell it anymore and explained casually.
"This is for us?"
Ding Zhengping also reacted at this time, the confusion and surprise on his face were mixed together, he couldn't take care of the mood at all, and asked eagerly.
"There is only one per person, and if you can't make a breakthrough, you won't have a chance to do it again. ”
Seeing that Ding Zhengping seemed to be a little impatient, and his current expression was only slightly better than when he was recklessly breaking through the middle stage of Qi training, Ding Zhengyi stared at him and said playfully.
Hearing the definite news, the excitement of the two gradually subsided, and Ding Zhengfeng thought about it, as if he was thinking about how sure he could break through.
And Ding Zhengping showed a look of shame on his face, he obviously heard Ding Zhengyi's words.
The hundred-year-old spirit peach, which is worth hundreds of spirit stones, is the dream of every low-level monk, and in addition to assisting in body refining, it has a very obvious effect on dredging the meridians, speeding up the efficiency of qi training, and so on.
The two of them know a lot about this, but after cultivating so far, for this precious spiritual object, they don't want to say that they eat it, even if it is the first time they have close contact.
Even if Ding Zhengyi didn't say it, the two of them understood that he would never provide it unlimitedly, but the chance of breaking through was limited after all, if he couldn't succeed with this thing in one fell swoop, then the hope in the future would be even more slim, and maybe he would regret it for life.
After a while, the two of them figured out what happened, and they both understood that excitement or worry could not solve any problems, and Ding Zhengyi's experience and guidance were important weights to increase the chances of success.
Therefore, Ding Zhengping and Ding Zhengfeng glanced at each other again, and then they looked at Ding Zhengyi at the same time, but there was infinite longing hidden in the four slightly calm eyes.
In this regard, Ding Zhengyi did not pretend to be a gesture again, and the combination of grace and power without revealing his face was the way to win people's hearts, and if he was too deliberate, it might backfire, he organized his language a little, and described his experience when he broke through.
In the end, Ding Zhengyi lifted up the placket of his clothes again, revealing the swarthy iron armor inside, explained to the two of them the causes and consequences of the weight-bearing forging body, and suggested that they also try a few times before preparing to break through, even if it can add a little hope, it is very worthwhile.
As Ding Zhengyi's narration gradually deepened, the two of them nodded sometimes, frowned sometimes, and occasionally asked a few words, and finally their solemn feeling that covered their entire faces slowly eased.
It wasn't until Ding Zhengping and the others left with the Centennial Spirit Peach that Ding Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, dealing with these affairs was more energy-consuming than cultivation, especially the grasp of details, even more than the practice of making talismans and arranging formations.
If there is a chance to choose, Ding Zhengyi would rather cultivate with his head down and make steady progress than spend his limited energy on this.
But whether it is now or in the future, the family always needs someone to pay for it.
Of course, Ding Zhengyi is also obligated to do this, because he understands that only when the overall strength of the family cannot be underestimated and can withstand the stormy baptism of the cultivation realm, then all the clansmen, including him, will have the opportunity to develop better.
