Chapter 47: Retreat and Cultivation
"It's a thousand grains, and we're five hundred each. Four capsules a day is enough for us for four months. During this period, don't collect materials, cultivate wholeheartedly, and break through as soon as possible. Here are ten pills of Bigu Dan, half of each of us, and each grain can last for three days. Duan Qing said as he distributed the pills.
Holding five hundred pills, Ding Wenwen's brain lost her mind for a moment, feeling that it was so unreal, thinking about it for a while, she almost followed Duan Qing with a dead face for a while, and asked him to cooperate, and she was a little reluctant, but she would not take even one pill less, because it was precious, and because of the principle of cooperation.
"Life in the world, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all-inclusive, but no matter the texture or style, there is a most popular saying nowadays, even Ma Hongjiang's concubines, every time they add a small object to their necks and raise their chins, they are complacent, but the pill is different. ”
Ding Wenwen said with emotion: "The pill will always be the most popular, and it will never go out of style. Ordinary people always call it an elixir, but for monks, isn't that the case?"
Looking at Ding Wenwen's serious and serious appearance, Duan Qing also deeply agreed, people have high and low, things have high and low, in fact, in Duan Qing's view, there is no difference between people and things, not every monk can get the pill, even if he can do alchemy, but there is no magic weapon, no materials, that is, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Duan Qing didn't speak, he knew that Ding Wenwen was immersed in her own longing and didn't need an answer from others.
For Ding Wenwen at this time, this dilapidated world has gradually become beautiful, the buzzing of flies blocked by insect repellent powder outside the door sounds pleasant, even the hungry mice who peep into their brains and peep at little food feel a little cute, and the grass wolves that suddenly bounce up in the grass in the distance are preying, it turns out that this world also has the beauty of nature......
This can be regarded as a rare leisure time for the two.
In the next three months, both of them entered the cultivation time of forgetting to sleep and eat, sleeping only two hours a day, and eating only one meal.
Cultivating to the level of the fifth level of their Qi refining period, although they will feel hungry with one meal a day, they will not be hungry and weak, because the true qi in the meridians can still support the operation of physical skills, in a sense, this is also one of the differences from ordinary people.
On this day, Ding Wenwen cooked the porridge, but she didn't wait for Duan Qing to come, knowing that he had Bigu Dan on him, so she didn't bother, she ate it herself, left a large portion, and then went back to cultivate.
Duan Qing was indeed cultivating, and took Bigu Dan, because he had already felt that the acupuncture points that had been hindering the breakthrough were finally showing signs of loosening, it could be said that he was very anxious and wanted to break through to a higher level, because in this world, without strength, even survival would become a serious problem, unless, he wanted to be a person who was idle and waited for death and was oppressed by others.
Duan Qing didn't want to live like that.
After experiencing too many realities and fighting with a few masters, he was even more eager for a high-level realm, but at the same time, he knew that he couldn't be impatient, and his cultivation was like sailing against the current, and if he didn't advance, he would retreat. The result of impatience may hurt the body, and it may even go crazy, so you must think about it slowly and naturally.
This is like a gambler, holding a certain amount of chips, a one-time bet may be rich overnight, but nine times out of ten you will lose everything, and slowly follow up, not impatient, even if you have lost most of the previous time, maybe there will be a possibility of a reversal.
Duan Qing is not a gambler, but everything must be more thoughtful than when placing bets.
is the extremely harsh living environment, which turned him into a gambler.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing's originally impatient state of mind stabilized in this self-regulation.
Suddenly, Duan Qing was keenly aware that the acupuncture points where there were signs of loosening had already begun to tremble!
If the human body is a large rice field, in which countless small rice fields are distributed, then the meridians are like canals that can irrigate the rice fields, sending the moisture of water to all places and nourishing the growth of the rice fields.
This is the case with an acupuncture point in Duan Qing's body, but after three months of hard work, while the true qi in his body continues to accumulate, he finally has the ability to shake the floodgate, although he only makes the floodgate move, and he can't let go of even a trace of water, but it is a rather wonderful sign, you must know that in the past two years, he is like a child standing in front of the gate, and he can't even reach the gate.
And the adjustment of Fang Cai's mood made Duan Qing clearly feel that the gate had begun to tremble, as if it was beginning to become overwhelmed.
Is it because the flow of water is so great that the floodgates are finally starting to be powerless?
Duan Qing, who was always self-suggesting and self-regulating his mood, still had a touch of joy in his heart, as if he had finally refined the elixir.
In the dantian where the true qi gathered, several scattered wisps of true qi were driven by Duan Qing's will, all of which slammed into the meridians, impacting the acupuncture points with the greatest force, again and again, as if hitting the sledgehammer of the city gate, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, this feeling was ......
It's like cutting corns with a knife, no matter how hateful that thing is, it grows on its own, and the pain is inevitable, and under the tough impact, this taste is not humane at all.
This lasted for seven days, and the acupuncture point that had become unstable was still so unstable, and Duan Qing couldn't help but feel that it was as if the hammer was not big enough, even if it hit it many times, it would not receive obvious results.
It's like scratching your boots.
He didn't notice that after so many days, the true qi was running back and forth in the meridians, constantly washing away from baptism, making the meridians much tougher than before.
Duan Qing was holding three pills in his hand, it had been a pill today, he wanted to stuff all three pills into his mouth at once, but this could only become an idea, he knew that if he did this, his meridians would burst on the spot and he would die.
Suddenly, there were fluctuations in the air, as if a giant beast was swallowing violently, causing the air to shrink and tighten, and it gradually became violent, and after an instant, the air became stable again, and Duan Qing knew that it was Ding Wenwen who had broken through.
Throwing a pill of Bigu Dan into his mouth again, touching the only remaining pill of Bigu Dan, Duan Qing was speechless, Ding Wenwen's Bigu Dan didn't take a single pill, she ate and drank on time every day, and she went to bed quite punctually at night, and she was really a waste of sleep and food, although she didn't see any talent, but she was always better than herself.
She's a year older...
It is impossible to say that there is no sour taste in my heart, but it is more of a blessing, and only if I work harder, can I not let people fall farther.
Duan Qing continued to work hard to impact the acupuncture points, only to feel that it was very fast, his body and mind gradually became tired, he knew that it was time to take Bigu Dan, the last pill was thrown into his mouth, pressed under his tongue for a period of time, and then he was willing to swallow it, because he knew that after the effect of this grain was exhausted, he had to get out of this cultivation state every day for a period of time, go to eat, go to sleep, otherwise his body would collapse, and if he wanted to enter this state again, he didn't know how long it would take, and the yellow essence of refining Bigu Dan was not so easy to get again.
Bigu Dan?
Suddenly, a light flashed in Duan Qing's heart, not because of the pill, but because of the Dan furnace, every time when refining the Dan, if there were impurities, he would use the True Qi Needle transformed by the Dan Furnace to pick them out, which would not only save time and effort, but also avoid wasting the medicinal liquid.
You know, once the materials are melted, they will merge with each other and form a ball, Duan Qing's description is like an omelette, it is difficult to remove the waste residue with a large area of true qi at the beginning, and it becomes easy to transform into a true qi needle in the later stage, why not try to transform the true qi in the meridians into a needle?
Why didn't I think of it earlier!
Duan Qing secretly blamed himself, and at the same time used his consciousness to drive the true qi, converging into a needle, and tried several times before he succeeded, thinking about the design of the Dan furnace is really ingenious, no wonder the profession of the refiner is very respected, even if the monk is powerful, he will give some face, it is really not covered.
