Night. Inside the room of the dragon.

From noon to evening that day, the atmosphere in the Dragon Mansion was very depressing.

The three-day celebration that had been scheduled was forced to be interrupted at noon on this day because of the appearance of Jushan Zhenren and Jin Yicheng and others. In the afternoon, news came out of the house that after the two ancestors returned to their residences, they began to be bedridden.

Long Zheng, Li Yun, Long Xiang, Long Chuan, and many other people who were directly related to the Long family in this lineage all went to visit the two ancestors, but most of them were turned away. In the end, only four people were able to enter the residence of the two ancestors, Long Zheng, Li Yun, Long Xiang and Long Chuan.

When Long Chuan saw the two old ancestors in one fell swoop, he became extremely haggard, and his heart immediately remembered the old people he had sent away in another time and space. Long Chuan's heart felt distressed at the same time, but also filled with raging anger again. Xiaoqing also seemed to feel the emotions of Long Chuan, and he remained motionless in Long Chuan's Void Purple Mansion and did not make a sound.

In the evening, after Long Chuan accompanied his parents to eat dinner silently, as soon as he returned to the room, he immediately closed the door and said to Xiaoqing in his mind: "Xiaoqing, let's start practicing qi." ”

Xiaoqing said softly "um" and said, "Okay." ”

Long Chuan asked, "What should I do?"

Xiaoqing said: "It's easy. You sit down and do what I say. ”

When Long Chuan sat down, Xiao Qing explained the method, and Long Chuan asked with some surprise: "Xiao Qing, is this the fierce method you are talking about?

Xiaoqing said: "I told you, the method is very simple. ”

After that, Xiao Qing said in a serious tone: "Long Chuan, after successfully cultivating your true qi, you should be able to truly step into the path of cultivating immortals." Although this method may seem simple, the key to it is whether you can withstand the pain caused by the impact of the meridians. It's hard to get started. If you can't bear the pain on the first try, and try again, you have a sense of fear in your heart, and it will only be harder to succeed. ”

After that, without waiting for Long Chuan to speak, Xiaoqing's tone became more serious, and said, "Moreover, once we fail in the first attempt, even if we turn to a safe method, if you encounter pain again on the path of cultivation in the future, it is very likely that this experience of failure will appear in your mind again and hinder your cultivation. After a long time, it will even become your inner demon. ”

Long Chuan nodded and said, "Xiaoqing, I understand. ”

These truths, Long Chuan really understands. In another time and space, although Long Chuan has also heard many stories of people becoming more and more courageous, but the people and stories that were repelled by the first defeat, Long Chuan heard and saw more. Ryuden himself has even had a similar experience. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Once a person has the experience of failure and wants to do the same thing, no matter how well prepared he is, he will hesitate in his heart.

Xiao Qing also nodded lightly in the Void Purple Mansion of Long Chuan, and said, "Long Chuan, since you understand, are you still sure, do you want to choose this method?"

Long Chuan nodded again and said, "Xiaoqing, I've decided." ”

Xiaoqing said, "Okay. Now that you've decided, you can get started. I will protect your meridians and whole body to make sure you are not in danger. ”

Long Chuan nodded, stopped talking, clasped his hands in a half-circle, palms up, placed on his legs, and slowly operated the inner breath according to the method Xiaoqing said, pulling the true yuan in the meridians.

With the operation of the Dragon Transmission, the True Yuan within the Dragon Transmission Meridian slowly accelerated its flow at an undetectable speed.

When the dragon passed on for about a stick of incense, and when he was secretly wondering if there seemed to be no change in the meridians, Xiaoqing's serious voice sounded: "Gather your mind!

Long rumored this, quickly closed his eyes, calmed down, and continued to operate his inner breath with full concentration.

As soon as it was running this time, only a few breaths had passed, and Long Chuan immediately felt that there seemed to be something in the blood in the meridians that had suddenly accelerated the flow.

Long Chuan was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said, "There is a door!", and a sharp stinging pain suddenly came from the main meridians of the body. The stinging pain came so suddenly and violently that Long Chuan couldn't help but let out an "ah".

At this time, the night was still early, and Qingyu and Qingwen, as the maids who served Long Chuan, knew that it was not yet their little son's time to sleep, so they had been guarding the door. Hearing the cry of the dragon, Qingyu and Qingwen shouted at the same time: "Childe, what's wrong?!"

During the day, there was an incident in the Long family where immortal cultivators broke into the mansion, so in the courtyard of Long Chuan, in addition to the original four guards, Long Zheng specially added a few guards. Hearing Long Chuan's shout, several guards guarding outside Long Chuan's room also immediately whispered, "Childe?!"

Long Chuan gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain that kept coming from the lower meridians, and said loudly: "It's okay! I took a nap and had a nightmare!"

Qingyu and Qingwen glanced at each other, and asked softly, "Childe, do you want us to come in and talk to you?"

At this moment, some beads of sweat had begun to ooze from Long Chuan's forehead. Long Chuanqiang suppressed the pain and said in a voice as steady as possible: "No! I'm tired, I'm going to bed early." Do not come in and disturb you. ”

Seeing several guards looking over with suspicious eyes, Qingyu said in a low voice: "Something like that happened in the mansion today, Gongzi is probably frightened." Childe had been accompanying the two ancestors all afternoon, and they didn't take a nap, so they must be tired now. Qingwen, several big brothers, today we will take turns to guard outside Childe's door to ensure that there is someone outside Childe's door at any time. If Childe has any more nightmares, even if we don't go in, we can call Childe and let Childe know that we are outside the door. ”

Qingwen and several guards nodded at the same time, each cheering up even more.

After the dragon legend said that sentence just now, the pain that came from the meridians in his body had become more and more intense. Moreover, this pain no longer only exists in the main meridians in the body, but has been transmitted to the whole body along with the meridians in the body.

Long Chuan felt the most intense, first of all, the pain from his head. Long Chuan only felt as if his head was about to explode. Long Chuan swore that the worst headache he had ever experienced in another time and space was less than one-ten-thousandth of the headache at this moment. If he really wanted Long Chuan to describe the feeling of his head at the moment, Long Chuan could only say that at this moment, he felt that his head seemed to be stabbed by countless needles at the same time, inside and out.

The second place that makes Long Chuan feel the most obvious is the heart. The main meridians in the heart are the most concentrated, and the pain here is also the fastest and most intense. Long Chuan had just said the sentence when he felt as if his heart had been grabbed by several pincers and stabbed hard. For a moment, Long Chuan only felt as if he was about to suffocate.

In addition to these two places, the dragon is all over the body, but wherever the meridians go, there is no place where he does not feel severe pain. Moreover, this kind of severe pain is a pain that comes from the inside out, and people have nowhere to hide, nowhere to avoid. Long Chuan's whole body was soon completely soaked with sweat. Long Chuan's body also began to tremble violently.

Long Chuan groaned in his mind and said, "Xiaoqing......"

Xiao Qing's voice was extremely solemn, and he said, "Long Chuan, are you unbearable?" If it really doesn't work, I will absorb the true yuan in your meridians first. ”

Long Chuan struggled to maintain his sanity, and said in his mind, "No. Xiaoqing, what I want to ask is, what will happen if I pass out in a coma?"

Xiaoqing said: "If you pass out and your internal breath is no longer traction, the flow of true yuan will gradually slow down, and the pain will be reduced. However, your attempt is considered a failure. ”

Long Chuan gritted his teeth and said in his mind: "Xiaoqing, then you have to promise that I won't faint." ”

Xiaoqing let out a soft "um" and stopped talking.

As the pain intensified, Ryuden gradually began to become numb. Just when Long Chuan couldn't feel such a sharp pain because the nerves in all parts of his body were numb, a cool feeling flowed through Long Chuan's whole body, driving away the numbness, and the pain hit madly again.

Long Chuan groaned in his mind: "Xiaoqing, you ......"

Xiao Qing said, "Long Chuan, the internal breath in your body and the flow of true yuan have slowed down. ”

Long Chuan asked a little weakly in his mind, "You mean, if I don't feel pain, it will affect the operation of the True Yuan?"

Xiaoqing let out a "hmm" and said, "You have to stay awake at all times, keep running the internal breath, and affect the true yuan, so that you can complete this step in one go." ”

Long Chuan stopped talking, and while enduring the pain, he tried to operate his inner breath according to Xiaoqing's words. Whenever Long Chuan felt numb and felt that the pain had subsided slightly, a cool sensation would flow through his body, dispelling all the numbness. Then, the pain hit like a tidal wave again.

After being hit by severe pain over and over again, Long Chuan finally felt that he was about to lose his support, and his consciousness suddenly became blurred.

At this moment, a voice seemed to come to Long Chuan's mind, and he said to Long Chuan: "Long Chuan, why are you suffering? Isn't it possible to cultivate true qi in another way? Why let yourself suffer such a great sin? As long as you say give up, all the suffering can be over." ”

Long Chuan said in his mind in a daze: "Xiaoqing, do you think I can't break through this level?"

The voice said in Long Chuan's mind again: "It's not a question of whether you can break through this level, but whether it's worth it." Anyway, there is a more secure way to cultivate true qi and embark on the path of immortality, so why should you have trouble with yourself?

Long Chuan continued to say in a daze, "What about the old ancestors?"

The voice said incomparably calmly, "Your ancestors will be fine. They're all right. Give up! You're going to die. If you die, you'll never see them again. ”

When Long Chuan heard this, his heart was shocked, and he shouted in his mind: "Xiaoqing!

The voice said seductively, "I'm here! Am I not talking to you?"

Long Chuan's mind suddenly cleared, and he shouted in his heart: "Who are you?! You are not Xiaoqing!"

The voice seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm Xiaoqing! Long Chuan, why can't you even hear my voice?"

Long Chuan's eyes opened suddenly, and he shouted angrily in his mind: "Get out! Get out of my mind! You're not Xiaoqing! Get out!" While shouting angrily in his mind, Long Chuan suddenly accelerated the operation of his internal breath, and the pain came more intensely, and Long Chuan suddenly came to his senses completely.

Xiaoqing's voice sounded in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly speed up the operation of your internal breath? In this case, the pain will be even more intense." ”

When Long Chuan heard Xiaoqing's voice, his heart was relieved, and the pain seemed to be relieved, and he said, "Xiaoqing, there seems to be a voice talking to me just now. ”

Xiaoqing asked suspiciously, "What voice?"

Long Chuan told Xiao Qing about the situation just now, and Xiao Qing said in a solemn tone: "That's not right." ”

Long Chuan endured the pain while running the internal breath, and said in his mind: "Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"

Xiaoqing said: "Let's not talk about this yet. Can you keep going?"

When Long Chuan heard Xiaoqing ask like this, his heart was even more relieved, and he said, "Yes!"

Xiaoqing said: "Okay! If you can persevere, see if you can speed up the operation of internal breath." I feel that the meridians in your body are loosening a little. With a little more effort, it is possible to successfully practice the first trace of True Qi tonight. ”

Long Chuan was overjoyed, and all the pain seemed to have suddenly alleviated a lot. The dragon steadied his mind and quickened the flow of his inner breath, allowing the increasingly intense pain to drown him over and over again.
