Chapter 2: The Legend of the Ancient Mirror
In addition to Qin Yiyang's face in the bronze mirror, there is also a touch of mountains and rivers, the mountains are like a compass, steep and straight, even in the mirror, it looks more imposing than the Qingcheng Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain there was a stream of babbling water, and above the water the mist flowed, curling up and joining the mist in the mountain.
Between the mountains and rivers is a yellow-brown land, bare, which does not match the green grass and flowers around it.
However, it was this "wasteland" that made Qin Yiyang smile, and it was it that gave him the motivation to continue to stay in the academy and secretly cultivate, otherwise he would have gone out to earn money to support his family.
He skillfully took out two willow leaves from his arms and smashed them on the bronze mirror, just when the willow leaves hit the mirror, a wonderful thing happened, only a finger long grass was not bounced back, or the branches and leaves that were hit were separated, but fell into the ancient mirror as if falling into the water.
A little, on the wasteland between the mountains and rivers in the mirror, two identical willow-leaved grasses appeared, and they were slowly growing and transforming, the two leaves became five, and a purple bud appeared at the top, the color was as bright as a pearl.
Airplanes!
After a stick of incense, the bronze mirror made a sound, and then the two willow leaves that had completed the transformation broke out of the mirror and landed in front of Qin Yiyang.
"Breakfast is here, eat and cultivate!" Qin Yiyang grabbed the two transformed willow leaf grasses, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed, a little bitter, but it made him full of strength.
This thing is nourishing, and people in the refining period need to take a great tonic to meet the consumption generated during body refining, and at the same time, it also makes the physical body stronger.
The students have paid high tuition fees, and the college is equipped with a nourishing "breakfast", and those with a well-off family will also have a "supplementary meal" specially prepared for them by domestic slaves, all of which are rare medicines bought with real money.
Qin Yiyang is just a poor little scholar, how can he have such treatment? Fortunately, there is this wonderful bronze mirror, which can transform ordinary plants and trees into excellent medicinal herbs, for example, the willow leaf grass just now, which is a weed that can be seen everywhere in the mountains, but under the cultivation of the "wasteland" in the bronze mirror, it instantly becomes a purple willow leaf grass, and there are medicinal books in the academy library, this purple willow leaf grass is a great supplement, even if someone bids a hundred taels of silver, it may not be able to buy it in the market.
As for which ordinary plants and trees can be transformed into good medicines, Qin Yiyang has already tried them one by one, and now he knows it well, almost all plants and trees can be transformed, but some of them are what he needs, some of them are useless, and it is useless to transform, and it will waste the divine power of the mirror.
This broken mirror seems to have a temper, when Qin Yiyang first got it, it didn't move after transforming a plant and tree in a day, but now it is slightly better, it can transform plants and trees two or three times a day, and the transformation ability has also been improved, take the willow leaf grass as an example, at the beginning, the bronze mirror transformed it into a red stamen willow leaf grass and threw it out, and now it can be turned into a purple stamen willow leaf grass, although it takes some more hours, but the medicinal use of the purple stamen willow leaf grass is much stronger than the red stamen.
Although he still didn't know the reason, he vaguely felt that it should be related to the huge breakthrough in his cultivation in the past six months, because every time he broke through, the "temper" of this mirror would become a little better.
As for where this bronze mirror came from, it has to talk about the accident half a year ago, every time he thinks about it, Qin Yiyang's heart aches faintly, so he never wants to think about it.
After the "breakfast" was finished, Qin Yiyang began to cultivate.
With a snort, he jumped under the bed, then tied up his horse steps, and punched out his fists, while recalling the method of qi and realm that Instructor Fang Hanyun had just described.
Qi and realm are the fourth realm of the refining period, and it is also a very important realm, because the first three realms are very simple, the first realm strengthens the body, eats more big supplements, and makes the body strong, this can only be done if you have money to buy supplements.
The second realm is rigidity and softness, through a series of exercises to enhance the flexibility and strength of the body, such as leg pressing, frog jumping and upside down, etc., this academy has special teaching, and it is not difficult.
The third realm is the fists and feet, that is, through the cultivation of an exercise to enhance strength, the entire state and county academies of the entire Yu country are unified to teach "Fuhu Fist", because this is a set of easy-to-learn and fierce exercises.
The fist and foot realm is commonly known as laying the foundation, and through the exercises to break through the limits of the physical body for the first time, the requirements for tonic medicine begin to increase, so between people, there will be advantages and disadvantages in the foundation due to the amount of tonic food eaten.
The second item of the county exam, knowing martial arts, is also the test of "Fuhu Boxing".
Qin Yiyang was learning the fist and foot realm, something happened, and he could no longer practice with the instructor like other students, but he had been practicing quietly, although the cultivation time was shorter than theirs, but he stepped into the fourth realm qi and realm half a month earlier than them, and he didn't know if he was talented, or his "breakfast" was better than others.
Whew!
Qin Yiyang jumped in and struck with a heavy fist, this is the third move of Fuhu Boxing, the tiger pounces on the rabbit, he has already practiced it to the point of being ripe.
It's just that he was thinking about the method of the fourth realm that Instructor Fang Hanyun said just now, and see if he could do it.
The method of qi and realm is the unity of essence and spirit, simply put, it is to enhance the coordination of all parts of the body, and any part of the body can concentrate the strength of the whole body when attacking, such as the arms and fingers, which can not only enhance the strength and flexibility of the body, but also make the fist more powerful.
It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, which is why Qi and Realm are a very important realm in the refining period, and if you don't practice the coordination of your whole body well, you can't use your fingers like your arms, and you can't step into the advanced realm of the Fifth Realm of Courage and Strength.
"Qin Yiyang, get out of here!" Qin Yiyang practiced hard in the house behind closed doors for nearly an hour, and just found some feeling, a rude shout came from the courtyard.
Qin Yiyang immediately cleaned up the tables and chairs in the room that he had kicked over, and then opened the door and walked out, he knew that it was those students who came back from morning practice, although he was very reluctant to serve them, but who made himself a scholar, if he couldn't swallow his anger, he couldn't stay in the academy to steal his studies.
But he knew in his heart that such days would not be too long, and before the county examination, he would go to the dean and give him a place, if he could enter the top three, he could change the fate of being a scholar forever.
Yes, his goal is to be in the top three, although even if he does not enter the top three, he may be favored by a large family, please go back to be a companion to the child or a housekeeper in the nursing home, but he will not choose this path, because he doesn't want to be a slave anymore.
"Ha, I'm lazy here again, let the master think about it, how to trick you this time!" As soon as Qin Yiyang came out of the house, he saw five white-clothed students standing in the courtyard, one by one with their hands folded, with a majestic appearance, and their faces were full of smug smiles.
The one who spoke was a white-faced boy, named Zhu Youliang, a child of the Zhu family in Qingcheng County, with a lot of money in the family, and had cultivated several county examination champions, Zhu Youliang's sister Zhu Hongxue was the champion of the county examination in the last session, and his brother Zhu Youcai was the champion of the county examination in the last session, both of them walked out of Qingcheng Academy, it is said that his third uncle Zhu Tiande had stepped into the tenth realm of the refining period ten years ago, and became a prince of the Yu Kingdom.
Although this guy is a little disregarded and has never come back since he was developed, the Zhu family is still proud, and the people in the county are also polite to the Zhu family because of this, and Zhu Youliang even bragged about the glory of the Zhu family in the academy every day, and did not take other students seriously.
It's just that Qin Yiyang knows that this guy is nothing remarkable, the Zhu family spent countless money on him, bought a large number of rare medicines to nourish his body, and invited several famous teachers to guide him individually, making him a leader among the students of Yellow Crane Academy, but it still can't change the fact that his qualifications are poor, otherwise, with his family background, how could he not even enter Qingcheng Academy?
