Chapter 18: Forty-five Days

Qiu Xin seemed to have been drained of his essence, lying on the cliff and convulsing constantly, because of the violent crushing and relaxation of the true qi, fine blood-colored dots appeared on his skin.

After lying down for more than an hour, Qiu Xin gradually regained consciousness, and the seawater he drank had been spit out by him, accumulating into a puddle around him.

The sea breeze gradually weakened, the winter tide receded, and only a thin layer of white spray on the sea surface rushed to the shore, and the sun at this time basked Qiuxin's pale cheeks, which was so warm.

Ling Lao didn't sort out Qiu Xin's true qi for Qiu Xin's luck, he kept looking at Qiu Xin with his head down, until Qiu Xin's breath stabilized, Ling Lao continued, "The limit of human beings, it is always difficult for you to break through, and only this kind of irresistible external force can maximize your potential."

True Qi is involuntarily widening your meridians, forging your bones, and tempering your viscera, today's winter tide has dissipated, but you don't have to worry, there are still eighty-nine days of such days. ”

"I can't swim ......"

"It's not in the way, this situation is the most conducive to the transformation of the body by True Qi, it doesn't matter if you can swim or not, even if you can, you can't swim to the surface of the sea, the more you struggle, the more you sink. ”

"I can't swim ......"

"Didn't you enjoy this process today, if you continue like this, you will definitely soon reach the goal of cultivating the first level of the Hidden Spirit Technique. ”

"I can't swim ......"

"Yin boy, you said that you wanted to practice to the first level of the Hidden Spirit Technique, and you voluntarily followed me down the mountain, and I didn't force you to forge your physique, but now you have to blame me for an old man?"

"You didn't force me, you always did the right thing, but just now which old guy forcibly pushed me into the sea and almost let me die in it, it must not be Ling Lao. ”

"Uh...... I didn't see that person. ”

Ling Lao suddenly put away his smile, straightened up, faced the sea, and slowly spoke, "But in the future, every morning to noon, there will be a winter tide here coming, the structure of this bay is particularly wonderful, just when the next wave comes, it will be discharged through the siphon, you don't have to worry that you won't be able to hold on, ordinary people can do it, if you can't hold on, you can only blame yourself for being useless." ”

Qiu Xin can move a little now, and after listening to Ling Lao's explanation, he understands that even if he can swim, it is useless, and this process is exactly the effect that Ling Lao wants.

So he didn't say much, Ling Lao definitely didn't mean to harm himself, but he didn't tell himself in advance, suddenly, he exposed himself to ignorance, and he was a little angry, if Ling Lao could say it, Qiu Xin would not refuse, and he would stupidly jump into the inlet, and the result was the same.

He struggled to sit up, endured the severe pain, and the luck hidden spirit technique began to cultivate, if he didn't consolidate it at this time, then the pain he had suffered in the morning would be in vain.

Although it is not obvious, it seems to be a psychological effect, but the true qi does run a little smoother, and the original pain has become an indescribable feeling of pleasure under the soothing of the true qi, just like the feeling of driving hundreds of miles in a row and exhausting the true qi that day.

In the same way, today he once again reached his limit, and the feeling of relaxation after being restrained made him exhale lightly, and every pore on his body was breathing and jumping.

Just as Qiu Xin was recovering on the cliff, Ling Lao returned to Wangxu City, and after buying food, he quickly rushed back to the beach.

Ling Lao had long expected that Qiu Xin would be so hungry, so he bought two ducks, two chickens, and two jars of wine, all of which were all taken into Qiu Xin's stomach like a storm, and he felt that his body was full of strength again.

Although there was still some pain, Qiu Xin didn't care, and continued to practice at night with the cold moonlight on the seaside, so that Qiu Xin really touched the true meaning of cultivation.

Being able to clearly feel the feeling of exchanging air currents with the surrounding air, being able to clearly hear the sound of waves flowing in the distance, and the shape of waves will appear in his mind, this wonderful feeling has never been experienced by Qiu Xin.

Ling Lao looked at Qiu Xin like this from the side, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

The next day, when the winter tide was approaching, Qiu Xin jumped into the bay without the urging of Ling Lao, and the painful feeling of yesterday surrounded him again, Qiu Xin quietly watched his body being tortured by the sea as if he had no feelings.

This time, he recovered on the coast for more than an hour, and then he recovered, without resting much, and immediately cultivated the Hidden Spirit Technique, and Ling Lao brought a large amount of food from the city.

At night, Qiu Xin didn't rest, although the effect of cultivation was far less than when he first came up from the water, but he didn't know how much better than when he was not pressed by the sea.

On the fifth day, after Qiu Xin was rescued by Ling Lao, he only rested for an hour, and after that pain, the feeling of reaching the limit made him more and more excited.

On the tenth day, Qiu Xin only took half an hour to recover, and the amount of food was also amazing, reaching five chickens and five ducks.

On the twentieth day, Qiu Xin only rested on the cliff for a pillar of incense, and he could clearly feel that his meridians were a little wider than those twenty days ago, and the three-color true qi was also a little thicker.

Seeing this change, Qiu was overjoyed, and even did not waste a single minute of time, even the sleep was reduced to two hours, and the rest of the time, it was all meditation.

On the thirtieth day, the feeling of exhilaration, which he had produced after reaching the limit, gradually weakened, and his heart was able to contract freely under the pressure of the seawater, and his true qi was no longer just curled up in the dantian.

Red spots will appear on the skin, the coughing up of blood in the mouth will finally disappear, and most importantly, after Qiu Xin is brought ashore by Ling Lao, he will be able to sit up immediately.

Due to the astonishing amount of food in the past thirty days, Qiu Xin's originally thin body has gradually become stronger, and his entire arm is half thicker than before, and his body is also an inch taller.

Qiu Xin seemed to be infatuated with this feeling, and asked Ling Lao if there were any other places like this every day, but Ling Lao just smiled and shook his head, and did not answer.

On the fortieth day, the effect of the power of ten thousand catties of sea water is getting weaker and weaker, Qiu Xin can already fly ashore by himself without relying on Ling Lao, and the feeling of peeling off the cocoon is almost nothing, and the true qi will no longer suddenly relax due to severe compression and become chaotic.

Even in the sea, Qiu Xin was able to control the true qi, although the effect was weakened, but Qiu Xin was surprised to find that the time he held his breath in the sea was getting longer and longer, from the initial pillar of incense kung fu to more than half an hour, which was unimaginable for ordinary people.

In other words, Qiu Xin also learned to swim in disguise, and can freely float up and down in the seawater, and then supplemented by true qi, he is as flexible as a fish in the sea.

And what made him feel even more amazing was that the pores of his skin were able to absorb the slightest stream of air from the seawater, just like his own mouth and nose.

The first time he took off his clothes, Ling Lao was also startled when he saw the scars on his body, but after a long time, the scars left on his body also disappeared under the washing and soaking of the sea.

By the forty-fifth day, Qiu Xin had no effect on it, and after being squeezed in the sea, he returned to the shore, and the effect of cultivating the Hidden Spirit Technique was not much different from usual.

Qiu Xin also felt that there was no point in going to the sea again, so he said to Ling Lao, "Ancestor, now that the effect of the winter tide is minimal, and the true qi is twice as thick, I wonder if I can get through the Du Pulse?"

Ever since Qiu Xin felt the tremendous benefits brought by this cultivation method, between his words, he had a lot of respect for Ling Lao than before.

Ling Lao looked at Qiu Xin, he was half a head taller than when he first came, his body was much thicker, and the original loose clothes were completely able to support him.

It's just that the skin was a little pale from the seawater, and after looking at it, he said, "The ninety days of the winter tide are exactly half over, but I'm afraid it's a bit whimsical to want to break away from the Du pulse now, if you don't believe it, you try it first." ”

Qiu Xin was stunned when he heard this, it was difficult for him to break through the Du pulse before, it was entirely because his internal strength was too weak and his true qi was too little, but now with twice his true qi, even if he couldn't succeed, he had to try again.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Xin simply sat down, and after recuperating his mind, he gathered his true qi, and first used three points of force to collide with the barrier of the Du Mai, but the barrier of the Du Mai did not move at all.

Qiu Xin rushed forward with ten great strength, and this time the heavy barrier finally shook slightly, which surprised Qiu Xin.

When I tried to break through the Du pulse in Kuizhou, my true qi was much weaker than now, but I was able to shake the barrier, but now my true qi has more than doubled, and the effect is weaker than before.

After thinking about it again and again, Qiu Xin realized that the power of this sea water squeezing was originally a trick, and the external force forcibly broke through his own limit in order to achieve the effect of strengthening the body and broadening the meridians, which indirectly enhanced the internal force.

However, the negative effect of this method is also particularly obvious, that is, it strengthens every inch of the whole body, that is, the diaphragm in the Du pulse is also much stronger than before.

Just as a stream has an embankment to enclose it, and the sea has a shore to enclose it, the increase in the flow of water is followed by the thickening of the embankment.

Qiu Xin opened his eyes and looked at Ling Lao, and said, "Ancestor, it is true that you can't break through the Du Pulse now, but if you do anything to strengthen your physique, I'm afraid the result will be the same, so how can you cultivate into a dragon and tiger illusion?"

Ling Lao seemed to be confident, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "The deeper the internal force true qi before breaking through the second vein of Ren Du, the more powerful the dragon and tiger virtual image cultivated in the future, and the more benefits you will get." ”

Qiu Xin was anxious when he heard this, "But even so, being able to break through the Du pulse is the key, no matter how strong the true qi is, no matter how high the internal force is, if you don't open up the second pulse of Ren Du, how can you talk about the virtual image of the dragon and tiger?"

Hearing this, Ling Lao smiled slightly, and slowly spoke, "Don't worry, don't we have this thing!" As he spoke, Ling Lao took out a gray pill box from his arms, which was the bone quenching elixir.
