Chapter 8: The Danger of Cultivation
Taking advantage of the fact that the effect of the medicine has not completely dissipated, the remaining small pill will be swallowed in one go, with the experience of the last time, this time when the medicinal power of the pill into the body has not completely diverged, Qi Yue's dantian internal force poured out of the nest to surround it, devouring it with the momentum of thunder, and then did not wait for the medicine to be fully integrated, it began to impact the bottleneck, "boom~", Qi Yue's body was light at this moment, as if he was about to rise from the ground, although it was only an illusion brought by the breakthrough, but it was enough to make him ecstatic.
When he was distracted, he suddenly felt that his internal force was a little uncontrollable, "It's not good!" hurriedly concentrating and calming down, guarding the royal heart, concentrating on manipulating the internal force that had completely turned into a cloud and mist, and began to gradually withdraw the dantian qi sea.
"Huh~~" opened his eyes, a fine light shot out, seeing the familiar things around him, his heart was filled with a slight sense of emptiness, and in an instant he faintly felt that the internal force that had just returned to the sea of qi seemed to be moving again, because the dantian was the key point of the martial artist, and he did not dare to slack off and finally appeased it after spending a lot of effort.
Although Qi Yue didn't know what was going on, he had already realized that something was wrong, and quickly called out Xiaoxi and asked, "What's going on?" Why do I feel that my internal force is slowly getting stronger, but on the contrary, it is a little uncontrollable, and I even feel that "it" wants to get rid of me?"
"Ding~ This is normal, don't panic. Your previous cultivation was just in the early stage of the Hundred Veins Realm, but your power suddenly increased dramatically, resulting in the inability to control this "new" internal force as you want, now you just need to not fight with others for the next few days, retreat in your room with peace of mind, and gradually get used to "it"
"It turns out that there is such a saying, which means that I only need to spend a few days to get used to it, and then I can start using Lingyu Tianxiang to advance to the late stage?" was full of expectations for his next cultivation, but unfortunately Xiaoxi's words shattered his illusions, "I suggest that you should not use any items that enhance your internal strength in the short term, otherwise it is very easy to go crazy!"
"Why is this?" Hearing this word, which the martial artists were reluctant to mention, his heart sank, and his face became very bad.
"The path of martial arts cultivation is not only the transformation of one's own internal force or true qi, but also includes the change of this state of mind, if the state of mind cannot keep up with the rise of cultivation, it will be in big trouble, generally speaking, it is light to go mad!"
"Does the state of mind mean my heart?" Qi Yue began to try to decipher the new vocabulary on his own.
"Yes but not quite, the path of cultivation needs to be gradual and hasty is not reached, I think you should know this."
Nodding, remembering that when he was on the mountain in the past, Liuyun Zhenren seemed to have said this, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and he remembered when he was mentioned by Xiaoxi today, "That's right, but so what?"
"The so-called state of mind is an assessment of whether the warrior's heart is strong enough. If you compare your self-cultivation to water, then your state of mind is the container of water, and the size of the container determines the upper limit of your cultivation, and your current situation is that your cultivation exceeds the upper limit of what you can bear, just like water has begun to overflow, and at first glance it seems to have no effect, but in fact it is not.
If your "container" is enough to hold the "water" you have, you can exert 100% or even more strength against the enemy, but if you are in the current situation, not only will you not be able to use your full strength, but you will also be at risk of going mad at any time.
Anyway, to sum it up, it's just one sentence, "You're in danger now!", especially the latter sentence, Xiaoxi seems to deliberately accentuate the tone.
"Don't scare me, I'll do what you say!" Qi Yue jumped up in fright.
"I didn't expect you to be in such a bad mood, that's why it's happening now."
"Do you have any solution to it?" no one can calm down when he thinks that his body is now a time bomb.
"Yes, yes, but your cultivation is very unstable now, and something will happen at any time, don't go out these days, hurry up and consolidate your cultivation, and then consider improving your state of mind."
was pitted by Xiaoxi again, but there was no way, but he could only do what he said, went out to find Brother Li and said that he was going to retreat, just let people put the food at the door these days, and when he came back, he also went to tell Zhuyue, so that she could wait quietly and not run around these days, but you can imagine how bad her mood is, and she can hang soy sauce when she pouts.
The days on the boat seem to be very boring, and the gangs of the River Gang seem to have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and it has passed every day when they have nothing to get together to drink and chat, and Zhuyue has learned to fish at some point, and every day he takes a fishing rod and bait from the kitchen to sit there for a day, and he seems to be fishing but has been thinking about something in a daze, because he is afraid of revealing his identity and never communicates with others.
Qi Yue, who has practiced for the first time in his life and retreated for the first time, actually unconsciously entered a mysterious realm, and at the beginning of the period of time, he ate some meals every day, but as this state deepened, Brother Li, who gradually came to deliver food, found that something was wrong, he ate less and less food, and in the past few days, he didn't even move at all, because Qi Yue had confessed before, and he didn't dare to enter at will.
After about five days like this, Brother Li couldn't hold it back, afraid that something would happen to him, so he hurriedly ran to the room of the helper Li Lu, "Big brother, go and take a look, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Seeing his fifth brother's panicked expression, Li Lu's heart sank, "What's wrong, you slow down, what's wrong?" quickly stood up and asked.
"That's the case, do you know about Xiao Qi's retreat half a month ago?"
"Well, didn't you tell me before? What, did something happen to him?" Thinking of this, Li Lu's face became very bad, he had promised Dong Xuzi at the beginning, but now if the other party had an accident on his boat, he couldn't explain it.
"Oh, I don't know if something happened, that's why I came to you and let you take a look!" Li Lu was anxious, he was more anxious than Li Lu.
"Quick! Hurry up, take me to see!"
It was noon, and it was early summer, and the people on the ship were supposed to be in the cabin to escape the heat, but today they all gathered outside Qi Yue's room unusually, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Don't make any noise!Old Five, you quickly explain the matter carefully!" Distraught, a scolding made everyone quiet.
The surroundings were silent for an instant, and the fifth child also walked over from the crowd, "Here's the thing, Xiao Qi asked me to deliver every day's meals to the door when he was in retreat half a month ago, and everyone knows about it these days, but since ten days ago, things have become a little wrong, at first, just every time I came to clean up the chopsticks, I found that he ate less and less, until five days ago, he didn't even move the food I put in, I just thought that his cultivation was at a critical juncture, so I didn't bother him, and still came to bring him food every day."
It's been five days since the beginning, and no matter what, it's over, but he still hasn't moved at all, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, so I'll hurry up and go to the eldest brother to let him get an idea" said and took a special look at the room, and saw that there was still no movement inside, and his heart became more and more anxious.
There was such a big movement outside, and Zhuyue was also attracted to it, and saw that everyone was blocked in front of Qi Yue's door, and all of them were not very good, so they asked, "Everyone, what's going on here?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted, and Li Lu still thought that Zhuyue was Qi Yue's junior sister, so he felt ashamed, and it was not good to face the other party directly, so he gave Lao Li a look and asked him to repeat it to the other party.
"What!!! I haven't eaten or drunk for five days! Then why are you still standing? Hurry up and take a look!" As he spoke, he was about to rush in, but fortunately, Li Lu's eyes were quick and he stretched out his hand to stop her, "Miss Zhuyue! Wait! I know you care about your senior brother, but you must not be reckless now, otherwise you will hurt him!"
I stretched out my hand to stop it, and my heart was a little angry, but when I heard him say this, I turned my head and asked, "Why?"
Li Lu put down his hand and explained carefully, "We don't know what the situation is inside at all, and cultivators are most afraid of external forces disturbing them when they are in retreat and penance, in case Xiao Qi is now at a critical juncture, and we rush in recklessly, not only can we not help him, but it will cause him to have mood fluctuations, and the meridians are retrograde, which of us can save him at that time?"
"Yes...... This ...... was obviously extremely anxious in his heart, but what Li Lu said was not unreasonable, seeing that his life-saving benefactor might be in danger at any time, and he couldn't save him, not to mention how uncomfortable this feeling was.
"I know what you think, why don't we people want to go in and have a look, but the path of cultivation is already full of thorns and bumps, and we can only silently pray for him when we encounter such a thing" sighed, and his expression was even more lonely.
The door in front of him made it impossible for everyone to peek inside the situation, and Zhuyue could only stand silently outside the door, praying for Qi Yue in his heart, hoping that he could tide over the difficulties.
Li Lu's guess was correct, at this time, Qi Yue in the room was in the biggest crisis since he came to this world, the internal force that had been calmed a few days ago suddenly became difficult when he was about to collect the exercises, and it gushed out of the dantian and began to rush towards some small acupuncture points around his body along the meridians, fortunately, he reacted in time to block this internal force, but what he didn't expect was that when he was about to succeed, a sense of unknown crisis suddenly appeared in his heart, causing him to fall short.
In the past few days, whenever he wanted to rein in this external internal force, this feeling would inexplicably sabotage his plan, and the more times he went, the stronger this feeling became.
Until the last time it was retracted this morning, it suddenly succeeded, and the internal force no longer resisted, and easily returned to the sea of qi, without any discomfort.
Although the crisis was lifted, Qi Yue did not let go of his heart, he always felt that the kind of crisis that could make people's cold hairs stand up was about to break out, but he searched everywhere around him and found nothing wrong.
The meridians were intact, the internal force was stable and peaceful, and even the tiny acupuncture points that he didn't usually notice were developed because of this crisis, all of which seemed so normal that he was ready to give up.
Suddenly......
