Chapter 2: The Mysterious Roommate
"How do you feel when you wake up?" Yuan Ming, who was sitting below, saw Dong Xiaolong get up and hurriedly asked.
"I feel good, how did I come back?" Dong Xiaolong felt as if he had a dream.
Yuan Ming smiled and said: "You are too nonsense, absorbing too much heaven and earth aura, and you can't control its power, causing your meridians to be unable to bear it, and the energy you transform will burst your meridians." ”
"Are you also a martial arts practitioner?" Dong Xiaolong couldn't help but be a little surprised, since he was a child, it was the first time he had seen someone who practiced martial arts other than himself and his grandfather.
"I shouldn't be the same as what you said about practicing martial arts, what I practice is not inferior martial arts like yours. For the sake of your roommate, I saved you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it casually. ”
Hearing Yuan Ming say this, Dong Xiaolong understood that Yuan Ming must be a master, at least much stronger than himself.
Lin Yan couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly said, "I'll interrupt, it's not him who saved you, you really will give yourself credit!"
"You just don't give me face! I worked hard to carry him back, and you just watched the show. Yuan Ming was also a little blushing when he was exposed by Lin Yan like this.
Seeing this, Dong Xiaolong had no choice but to break this embarrassing situation and said, "No matter what, thank you for saving me back." ”
"Don't thank us, he and I are running errands, and it is the one who really saved you. Lin Yan pointed to Tang Hanfeng, who was sitting on the bed.
Tang Hanfeng was sitting on the bed reading a book, and he didn't pay attention to the three of them. Dong Xiaolong also understood, these three people turned out to be masters of cultivation.
Since it was Tang Hanfeng who saved himself, Dong Xiaolong naturally still had to thank others.
"Thank you for saving me. Dong Xiaolong said.
Tang Hanfeng heard Dong Xiaolong talking to him, closed the book in his hand, turned over and jumped, and got out of bed lightly.
What shocked Dong Xiaolong even more was that Tang Hanfeng's feet were not standing on the ground, and the whole person was suspended in the air. The next action made Dong Xiaolong cry and laugh, Tang Hanfeng didn't look at him but found his shoes and put them on, and then stood on the ground.
It turned out that he was hanging in the air because he didn't wear shoes! Dong Xiaolong sighed in his heart. But this scene obviously shocked Dong Xiaolong too much, is this the legendary light skill?
When Dong Xiaolong was still thinking nonsense, Tang Hanfeng opened his mouth and said: "The matter of saving you is just a matter of effort, you don't have to take it to heart." ”
Tang Hanfeng's way of speaking was really like a master in the world, which made Dong Xiaolong feel too surprised. Tang Hanfeng and the three of them seem to be the same age as him, is this the realm of cultivation to immortality? What is the origin of these three people? This question left an imprint in Dong Xiaolong's heart, but it was not necessarily a good thing that his grandfather had taught him to know too much, so Dong Xiaolong chose to put this question aside.
Tang Hanfeng continued: "The most taboo thing in cultivation is to rush for quick success, your comprehension of cultivation is very high, and you can reach such a realm with just some simple cultivation methods, which proves that you are indeed very talented."
Dong Xiaolong knew that he was indeed a little anxious for quick success, which may be what he said in martial arts novels.
"So what's going on with my body? I felt like my internal organs were about to be blown apart before I fell unconscious, but now I don't feel any pain at all, and I'm even a little comfortable. ”
"You're lucky, although the process is a little painful, but it just breaks through your own realm. ”
"What realm did I break through?" Dong Xiaolong was very surprised in his heart, he really broke through the bottleneck by hitting crookedly.
"The so-called non-breaking, non-standing, your indiscriminate cultivation has actually broken through from the body refining stage to the foundation building realm, and I just lost some true qi to you, or rely on your own repaired meridians and body. ”
"Foundation Building Realm?" Dong Xiaolong didn't know where the boundaries of cultivation were, and then asked, "How is this cultivation realm divided?"
Tang Hanfeng said with a faint smile: "The boundaries of this cultivation are divided into body refining, foundation building, knotting, primordial spirit, crossing tribulation, and mixed yuan heavenly realm. This is the unified division of the entire cultivation realm, inherited from the ancient cultivators. I divide each realm into four stages: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang. ”
"Then I'm the Yellow Rank in the Foundation Building Realm now?"
"Yes, the four phases are not very obvious. Ordinary cultivators think that the realm is only in the early, middle, and late stages, but there is a transition stage from the middle stage to the late stage, and most people will stay in this stage for a long time before entering the late stage. So I divide it into four phases, and I call this transitional stage the ground level. ”
"Since it is divided into four stages, what is the difference between these four stages?"
"For example, in the foundation realm, the true qi in your dantian is in a liquid state, commonly known as the sea of qi. It doubles in size with each passing stage. When you reach the Heavenly Rank, your True Qi is eight times that of your Yellow Rank, and if you cultivate according to the early, middle, and late stages, you will only expand to four times in the end. ”
"Then why is it that if you cultivate to four times your True Qi, you can enter the next realm, and after four stages, you have to cultivate to eight times before you can enter the next realm? Isn't it more difficult?" Dong Xiaolong asked suspiciously. Eight times and four times are not just double the concept, that is, if you cultivate the same realm, you have to cultivate one more time than others.
"No, no. The four stages divide the realm because the probability of advancing will be higher in this way, and the four times true qi is the threshold for breaking through the realm. It's like if you break a plank with 40% of your strength, it may be because you don't have enough strength to hit it at once, but it may also break it if you keep impacting. What if you use 80% of your strength? Even if you can't break it all at once, the chance of breaking through will be greatly improved. This is also one of the reasons why many people stay in one realm for many years, maybe your cultivation will be slower, but it will be better to accumulate more than to fail many times and lead to long-term stagnation.
"I see, then what if I cultivate to sixteen times?"
"Every realm has a limit, and when your body can't bear it, you'll be like today. If you still use today's method to break through the foundation realm, you may really explode and die. ”
"In this way, I am lucky today, and I have picked up a life and come back!" Dong Xiaolong couldn't help but be a little afraid, he almost left this beautiful world.
"Eight times is the limit of the average person, and there are some people who have extremely high physical strength and can break this boundary. To be on the safe side, I wouldn't recommend you try this method again. ”
"I see!"
Speaking of this, Dong Xiaolong remembered that he hadn't tried his strength since he woke up, and as his mind moved, he found that he could actually see the sea of qi in his dantian. Is this the benefit of realm ascension? I could only vaguely feel the existence of the refined true qi before, but now I can see it.
Seeing Dong Xiaolong's state, Tang Hanfeng guessed that he was checking his sea of qi, and then said: "The true qi in the foundation building realm dantian is in a liquid state, and the knot pill realm is that the true qi will condense into an inner dan. The Yuan Shen Realm will cultivate its own Yuan Shen, and you will know the role of the Yuan Shen in the future. As for the Tribulation Realm, it will be different upwards, and it will no longer be divided into the four stages of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, you don't need to understand this for the time being, if you can cultivate to that realm, you will naturally know. ”
"Is the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Realm the strongest realm?" Dong Xiaolong asked.
Tang Hanfeng shook his head and said, "The Mixed Yuan Heavenly Realm is not the limit, it is said that the real powerhouse can soar in the universe without dying or dying, this realm is called the Breaking Heaven Realm. No one knows above this heaven-breaking realm, and the world beyond the sky is not just a little bit that human beings explore by technology. ”
This explanation brought Dong Xiaolong a new cultivation cognition, he has been very interested in martial arts since he was a child, and he is full of curiosity about the unknown world of cultivation. What kind of realm would Tang Hanfeng be? Dong Xiaolong was very curious in his heart, but his intuition told him not to have unnecessary curiosity, and as for why Tang Hanfeng told him so much, he didn't know very well.
"Sure enough, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. I only knew a little about these cultivation things before, and I only knew about it thanks to your explanation. Dong Xiaolong knew that there was a master in front of him, and he couldn't help but hesitate to worship him as a teacher, so that everything seemed logical, but he didn't know if Tang Hanfeng would agree.
"You and I met by fate, fate is arranged like this, you don't have to be polite. After Tang Hanfeng finished speaking, he turned around and looked out the window.
As soon as Dong Xiaolong wanted to open his mouth to worship Tang Hanfeng as a teacher, Tang Hanfeng preemptively said: "If you want to apprentice, you can be exempted, you and I are classmates now, and I don't want to accept apprentices." ”
was guessed by the other party what he thought, Dong Xiaolong also smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.
Yuan Ming, who was on the side, saw that Dong Xiaolong was a little embarrassed, walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, you can call him big brother like us in the future!"
"Is this okay?" Dong Xiaolong suddenly remembered the old bridge, "If you call me big brother, I will teach you to practice kung fu!"
Tang Hanfeng didn't agree or say no, Dong Xiaolong took it as his acquiescence. If he guessed correctly, Lin Yan and Yuan Ming should also be regarded as his apprentices.
"Thank you big brother for teaching!" Dong Xiaolong shouted tentatively, seeing Tang Hanfeng turn around, Dong Xiaolong knew that he should have agreed to this matter.
"The three of us have special identities, and we have something to do to enter this school, so you don't have to pay attention to it. Tang Hanfeng said.
Sure enough, just as Dong Xiaolong thought, Tang Hanfeng and the three of them must have come to this school for their purpose, but Dong Xiaolong couldn't imagine that there was anything in this school that interested a master like them.
Nodding silently, Dong Xiaolong didn't say anything more. Tang Hanfeng turned around, faced Dong Xiaolong and said:
"Your cultivation method is too clumsy, I have a mysterious exercise in my hand that I can give you to practice, as for how much you can understand, it's up to you. ”
Seeing that Tang Hanfeng wanted to practice exercises for Dong Xiaolong, Lin Yan and Yuan Ming both came forward curiously. Yuan Ming said: "The exercises taught by the eldest brother must be peerless exercises, Dong Xiaolong, you can make a lot of money!"
"Pass me the exercises?" Dong Xiaolong was overjoyed in his heart, the exercises given by Tang Hanfeng must be a good thing.
