Chapter 8: Formal Cultivation
After everyone got to know each other, Master Huo began to give a formal lesson.
"There are two exercise books here, one is "Body Extreme Gong", the basic skills of physical cultivation, and the other is "Dharma Source Gong", the basic skills of meditation, your choice now will affect all the ways of practice before condensing, please think twice before choosing. By the way, the condensation period is the first level that all cultivators reach. Master Huo took a sip of tea and said meaningfully.
Xia Xue took "Body Extreme Gong" in her hand without saying a word, and her dress already said everything.
Chen Mu had already thought about the starting direction in the future, but he still thought for a while, "Master, also give me a copy of "Physical Extreme Gong", and I will also start with physical cultivation. β
Master Huo was more surprised, and asked, "Your body is thin, your surname is introverted, and you are very suitable for practicing Fa Yuan Gong, why do you choose to cultivate physique, can you tell the master?"
"I have to train my body, I have people to protect. Chen Mu replied without hesitation.
"But Fa Xiu can also beat away the bad guys?" "Master Huo felt a little drunk again.
"I, I, I want enough strength to pick up my friend!" Such a simple reason was indeed the biggest reason for Chen Mu to choose physical cultivation.
Huo Li smiled, "These two exercise books are given to you, go back and study both books carefully before making a decision, it's okay to see, but you must not practice both exercises, practicing at the same time is a suicidal act, and I can't save you." That's all for today, go back to the house, and tomorrow I'll guide you in the more difficult parts of the book. β
In Huoli's view, the choice of these two exercises is the top priority of cultivation, and it cannot be sloppy in the slightest.
After seven days in this way, the two children have already understood the pros and cons of the two exercises, and the time has finally come to choose.
"Huoli, I still choose physical cultivation!" or Xia Xue spoke first.
"I choose physical cultivation, Master Huo, and I still stick to my previous choice. Chen Mu said categorically.
"Okay! My two apprentices are determined enough, I might have found a treasure. Next, I will introduce you to Qitian Peak. Huoli took a sip of tea.
"Hurry up and talk about how to cultivate, I don't have much time to listen to you talk about this. Xia Xue was impatient.
Huo Li glanced at her with a smile, and then said: "Qitian Peak of the Xuanqing Mountain Range is one of the most vigorous spiritual mountains in the southern part of Jinzhou, and the spiritual energy at the top of the mountain is the most vigorous, and the further down the spiritual energy is, the weaker the spiritual energy becomes. Although our current cave mansion is only suitable for the cultivation of monks below the Dan stage, it is completely sufficient for you. Body cultivators must strengthen the power of the body source in this kind of spiritual energy abundance, and when they cultivate to the point where the body no longer rejects the spiritual energy, the dantian will produce a silk of fighting energy. You can check whether there is a silk of fighting qi in your body according to the exercises on the "Body Extreme Gong", once the fighting silk appears, you will refine the fighting silk according to the practice of the exercises, and so on, and after a year, the person with the least number of fighting silk will be eliminated. β
"Then how do we cultivate the power of the body source?" Chen Mu asked.
"I have set you a half-year cultivation goal, and you must cultivate the Dousi in this half year, otherwise the number of Dousi will definitely be at the bottom of the physical cultivation students in a year. From now on, you climb from the cave to the top of the mountain, and when you feel that your body can't bear the pressure of the spiritual energy, run back to the cave, and then repeat this and so on, this is the first step for you to receive spiritual power! Don't disturb the cultivation of the high-level cave monks, let's go!" Huo Li said with high morale. It is estimated that the master also started with physical cultivation, Chen Mu thought secretly.
Out of the cave, after a while, you will arrive at the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain, which is almost vertical to the sky, and each step is nearly half a person high for Chen Mu. Looking at this steep mountain road, Chen Mu pondered for a while, and finally suppressed his fear of the mountain road, at this time Xia Xue was already a point on the mountain road. This speed is too fast, Chen Mu sighed in admiration.
At noon, Chen Mu was full of men and his clothes were soaked, so he sat on the steps to rest, planning to bring something to eat and drink tomorrow. At this time, Xia Xue suddenly appeared, glanced at him, and went down the mountain.
Climbing about a third of the way up the back mountain, Chen Mu felt that his whole body was bloated and his breath was short. It seemed that he had reached his limit, so he made a mark on the steps and turned to go down.
The physical cultivation students who passed by him and cultivated in the same way all gave him contemptuous looks. For Chen Mu, he has long been accustomed to these eyes, and he believes that he can succeed in the next few days.
The road down the mountain is still difficult, in addition to the overdraft of physical strength, the aura from thick to light makes Chen Mu's body uncomfortable.
In the evening, Xia Xue overtook him on the way down the mountain, and the moment she passed by, she slapped Chen Mu heavily, I don't know what her intentions were.
Back in the cave, Huo Li cooked them a delicious and somewhat special meal, and the two children suspected that the Yihuo Hall was not a medicine hall, but a canteen.
"Have you eaten and drunk enough, come and tell the master where you have climbed, how many times have you made a few trips back and forth?" asked Huoli with interest as he touched his beard.
"I saw the high-end cave house on the side of the mountain road, the faΓ§ade alone is much more magnificent than your house, it should be half of the back mountain, and I just ran back and forth three times. Xia Xue said arrogantly.
Chen Mu said calmly: "I went to about one-third of the back mountain and went back and forth. β
"Okay, the two of you will continue to cultivate tomorrow, and I'll drink!" Huo Lile left the cave with joy.
Not hearing Huoli's praise and exclamation, Xia Xue seemed a little unhappy, glanced at Chen Mu and said, "Earth hat, in terms of your physical strength, you still choose physical cultivation, I advise you to change to meditation." Before Chen Mu could reply, he went back to the room directly.
Chen Mu returned to the room, soaked in the small hot spring, and recalled the feeling of his body today. When you go up the mountain, your body gradually becomes bloated, and when you go down the mountain, your skin and flesh are tightened, and your bones are ringing with every step, is this the so-called physical cultivation?
A month passed quickly, and under Huoli's tireless explanation and guidance, the cultivation of the two children was finally on the right track.
Xuanqing Gate side hall, different fire hall, alchemy room.
Huo Li sat sweating profusely beside an alchemy furnace, looking nervous, the open flames in the furnace were restless, and from time to time, flames escaped from the alchemy furnace, and disappeared the moment they touched the wall of the room. "If it weren't for the order of the hall master to help Xia Xue become an official disciple, I wouldn't have retreated and practiced this kind of three-grade pill that is only suitable for the royal family, it is really time-consuming and laborious, and it will definitely not be pleasing in the end. Huoli had a headache when he thought of Xia Xue's surname.
After another two months, Chen Mu got up early in the morning, after so many days of exercise, he grew a little taller, and the muscles on his body could also see the outline, full of energy, and the whole person was refreshed.
He looked at the master's room, "I haven't come back yet, I must have been drinking somewhere again." Chen Mu looked at Xia Xue's room again, there was no one in it for a long time. "Today she got up earlier than me again. Chen Mu laughed at himself, picked up the dry food and walked out of the cave.
At such an early time, there were already many people climbing the mountain on the mountain road, Chen Mu encouraged himself, and rushed upwards at a speed......
In the past three months, Chen Mu hadn't seen Yan Xingyu and Bai Yun, and he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, they should choose to meditate in the cave.
Chen Mu panted and climbed to a certain place in the middle of the back mountain, found the mark he left yesterday, and after a short rest, he was ready to attack the mountain road next to the high-level cave mansion!
