The fifth round: mayfly step
In fact, the open and secret battles within Yuntou Mountain are very fierce, especially the purple-clothed demon disciples, who are often more cruel in order to compete for positions.
Nie Xiaoqian is among the best among the purple-clothed demon disciples, her strength is numbered, and she is expected to advance by leaps and bounds, impacting the realm of condensation, and she is a truly stunning character.
Meng Qiu left the place where Nie Xiaoqian was practicing, and after walking a long way, he looked back again, and suddenly smiled slightly. If he was still the same Meng Qiu, his cultivation was low, and he was muddy, Nie Xiaoqian would never look at him more, let alone take the initiative to show favor to him, this is the good that strength brings.
He looked at the place where the black qi was surging in the distance, and Nie Xiaoqian's figure appeared in his mind again, and he remembered it deeply in his heart.
Immediately, Meng Qiu returned to Yuntou Mountain and once again visited Elder Chuangong.
Elder Chuangong was slightly surprised, and recognized him at a glance, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he stared deeply for a long time, his gloomy face showed a look of emotion, and he exclaimed: "You actually really practiced the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephant Gong? In just over a month, you have practiced to the second level?"
Elder Chuangong stood in shock, walked down directly from the throne of the Chuangong Palace, came to Meng Qiu's body, and looked carefully again, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Originally, he didn't have any hope that Meng Qiu would practice the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephant Skills, his qualifications were mediocre, and the rotten wood was difficult to carve, so it was expected that it would not be long before Meng Qiu would give up and come to him in exchange for other exercises. Who knew that Meng Qiu appeared again, and he actually practiced directly, which surprised him, and secretly doubted in his heart that he had actually looked away? This black-clothed demon disciple surnamed Meng was actually a genius with potential to be tapped?
Elder Chuangong was secretly surprised, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate his body, scanning up and down Meng Qiu's body, until after a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Skill has been practiced to the second level, and it is not just a breakthrough, the true qi is quite stable, it seems that this month, you must have worked hard, maybe the next time you enter the Dragon Cave, you will also have a chance to fight for the ranking." ”
Youlong Cave is a culvert in the west of Yuntou Mountain, straight to the depths of the underground, connecting the eyes of the earth, the meridian tide surges, if it coincides with the annual aura tide, the leyline aura contained in it, for the people who practice qi, it is a great tonic, a little inhalation is equivalent to hard practice for many days. Therefore, every time the spirit tide date, the black-clothed demon disciples of Yuntou Mountain have to enter the depths of the Dragon Cave and rush to the spirit platform to compete for the essence of the spirit tide, which is also equivalent to an exam.
The next spiritual tide period is three months later, Meng Qiu is also quite looking forward to this, in his memory, the last spiritual energy tide, he was eliminated as soon as he entered and didn't even pass the first level,
"Thank you for the elder's attention, the disciple will definitely fight for it. Meng Qiu replied without hurry, he was confident that with his current strength, it should not be a problem to enter the Dragon Cave to fight for a ranking. And with three months to go, he will improve and even hope to break into the top 10.
"Very good, being able to practice the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Gong shows that you have great potential. What exercises do you want to learn this time?" "When Elder Chuangong found that Meng Qiu had practiced the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephant Skills, his attitude towards him also changed, he patted him on the shoulder, and returned to his seat again.
"Elder Hui, this time the disciple wants to ask for a strong body technique and a body method cheat to increase speed. Meng Qiu replied.
"Oh? It seems that even that Tiger Overlord Fist has been practiced by you for some eyebrows, and you have found the shortcomings of the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephant Skills and the Tiger Overlord Fist, and you want to make up for it, yes or no?"
"The elder is wise, and this is exactly what the disciple meant. Meng Qiu clasped his fists again.
"Well, that's a good idea. Elder Chuan Gong nodded slightly: "However, the lowest level of exercises such as strengthening the body is also the Yellow Level Upper Grade Vajra Refining Body Technique, you are not qualified to cultivate now, this is a rule, and it cannot be broken." You have to choose a body method first, and wait until you break through the Dragon Cave, and if you can get a name, you can be qualified. ”
Meng Qiu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly remembered that according to the rules of Yuntou Mountain, only the top fifty elites of the black-clothed demon disciples are qualified to read the yellow-level high-grade exercises, and he obviously does not have this qualification now, so he can't help but be a little disappointed, but he can't be accommodating, so he has to give up for the time being, and said to the elder: "If the disciple is negligent, follow the elder, learn the body method first, and then seek the secret of strengthening the body in the future." ”
In the end, Meng Qiu left the Hall of Transmission with a mayfly step, this mayfly step is a yellow-level middle-grade exercise, and it is not known for its absolute speed, but it is light and weird, and with the Tiger Overlord Fist, it is often unexpected and can produce extremely subtle effects.
Meng Qiu's choice of the mayfly step was once again appreciated by the Elder Transmission Sect, and when he was leaving, he also specially instructed him on the key points of practicing the mayfly step, which was a special treatment only enjoyed by the elite of the black-clothed demon disciples.
Back at his residence, Meng Qiu immediately memorized the mantra of the mayfly step, and then urged his true qi to begin to cultivate.
In fact, the so-called body step, to put it bluntly, is a method of infusing true qi into the legs and speeding up the speed of movement. Before the Jindan period, cultivation was limited and it was impossible to fly, and the pace of the body was particularly important. The key is nothing more than two points, one is to light the body, and the other is to cohesion. The body is as light as a swallow, and the feet can be stretched out several feet with a slight step, or the feet contain huge power, and they can step on the ground and jump up, and they can also take off several feet in the air.
The mayfly step that Meng Qiu chose this time was more focused on the former, through the operation of true qi, reducing his own weight, cultivating to the highest level, his body was as light as a feather, and he was even able to borrow the wind to walk.
Meng Qiu memorized the mantra, immediately practiced, and began to sit cross-legged to guide the operation of True Qi, which suddenly made him feel that the air around him seemed to give him a buoyant force, giving him the illusion that he was about to float, which made him slightly excited.
But an illusion is an illusion after all, and even if the body becomes lighter, it is impossible to float. And the pace of the body must be integrated into the martial arts, just sitting and feeling light and fluttering is useless, it must be displayed in sitting, lying and walking, anytime, anywhere.
Practice makes perfect, and there are no shortcuts.
The next day, Meng Qiu returned to the mountains and forests outside Yuntou Mountain again, and in the complex terrain in the mountains and forests, he kept running at the fastest speed.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
This is how he practiced the mayfly step, and he also had to hit the Tiger Overlord punch at any time during the fast run, without losing speed and power.
For two whole months, Meng Qiu almost completely spent time in this state, only going back to practice the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephant Skills at night every day, and his strength also improved immunarily unconsciously, and the mayfly step reached the fifth level, with the Tiger Overlord Fist, his body was like a feather, the fist was strong, and the power was doubled.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is still no breakthrough in the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants.
The cultivation of the Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Gong has reached the second level, and the difficulty has risen sharply, if it is replaced by others, it will take three or five years at most, and one or two years at least, and there may not be a breakthrough. What's more, in the past two months, Meng Qiu has majored in mayfly steps, even with the assistance of jade talismans, he can't achieve it overnight. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, and now this progress is very gratifying, and there is no need to blindly nitpick.
Meng Qiu is tenacious, especially peaceful, not arrogant or impatient, and does things step by step.
In the early morning of this day, Meng Qiu once again left Yuntou Mountain and went to the surrounding mountains and forests to practice. I saw that he was as light as a swallow, after entering the forest, he rose directly into the air, his toes tapped on the leaves, swept by, the speed was superb, and in a blink of an eye he had reached more than ten miles away, and he found an open space to stop, intending to practice boxing, and then continue to run, at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Hey, isn't this Meng Qiu?"
"It's really him, this waste material is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to run so far, and he is not afraid of being eaten by the monsters in the forest. ”
Several black-clothed demon disciples from Yuntou Mountain happened to pass by here, and when they saw Meng Qiu, they all pointed out and laughed unscrupulously.
Yuntou Mountain is originally a demon sect, and there are few brothers, friends and brothers, Meng Qiu heard this, glanced at it, and was too lazy to care about these people, so he simply acted as if he didn't see it. Unexpectedly, the figure flashed, and a black-clothed demon disciple came out of the crowd and came straight to the direction where Meng Qiu was.
Meng Qiu looked at it, frowned, and recognized at a glance that this person was the one who followed Qiao Liang in front of Xuanjing Tower last time, and knew that the other party had bad intentions, so he immediately became vigilant: "Shen Wuji, it's you!"
This black-clothed demon disciple's name is Shen Wuji, he is Qiao Liang's sworn friend, his right-hand man, his strength is not weak, he has reached the middle stage of Qi training, and he is also cultivating the Tiger Overlord Fist. Last time Meng Qiu rejected Qiao Liang, Shen Wuji saw it in his eyes, and he had already planned to make a move, teach Meng Qiu a lesson, and by the way, behave obediently in front of Qiao Liang. It's just that Meng Qiu has lived in a simple place in the past few months, so he has never found a chance, and he happened to meet today, how can he let it go.
