Chapter 9: Useless Things
Ding Qi gasped and sat on the big rock on the side of the mountain. He was resting with a bundle of firewood on his back.
More than ten days have passed since I came back from Liangcheng. These days, Ding Qi has returned to the life of an ordinary teenager in a mountain village. Every day, I go up the mountain to chop firewood and pick anchovy grass.
When he returned to the mountain village, Ding Qi was still a little worried that he would fail the assessment and disappoint his parents.
What made Ding Qi cry and laugh was that his parents were not only not disappointed after learning that he had not become a disciple of the sect, but were relieved. In their opinion, it is true that becoming a disciple of the sect can get ahead, but being implicated in the fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes also makes them feel uneasy.
Ding Qi's parents are honest mountain people, and in their opinion, compared to being promising, being able to be rich and rich, the safety and safety of the whole family is the most important.
This is also the reason why they were relieved to learn that Ding Qi was defeated.
After learning what his parents thought, Ding Qi could only shake his head helplessly in his heart. Although he somewhat understands his parents' thoughts, he hopes that he can get out of the small mountain village and see the outside world. I hope to be able to make a difference in the wonderful rivers and lakes.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi took out a book from his arms.
This book is the martial arts cheats of the iron sand palm that Ding Qi got from Liangcheng. Although it has only been more than ten days, this book has some more signs of wear and tear than before.
Since getting this book, Ding Qi doesn't know how many times he has read it these days, and that weird feeling has never appeared again.
In recent days, Ding Qi has become more and more suspicious that the feeling at the beginning was his own delusion. This book, in fact, is just a book of exercises that records the iron sand palm, and there is nothing special about it.
Thinking of the iron sand palm kung fu recorded above, Ding Qi couldn't help frowning.
When he was in the weapon shop, even if he didn't feel the abnormality, this iron sand palm kung fu was also one of the several martial arts that Ding Qi had chosen. Because it is different from ordinary kung fu styles, this iron sand palm is one of the few cheats equipped with cultivation methods.
After firmly writing down the cultivation content in the book, Ding Qi practiced according to the method in the book as soon as he was free for more than ten days.
"I don't know how long it will take to take the first step of this effort. Ding Qi sighed helplessly.
Iron sand palm is an ordinary palm kung fu. The first step in cultivation is to use true qi to penetrate the specific meridians of your hands.
It is recorded in the book that to practice this kung fu, you must constantly insert your hands into the iron sand every day, so that your hands are as hard as iron and will not be injured by foreign objects.
Before proceeding with this cultivation method that borders on self-harm, it is necessary to follow the mental method in the book and first penetrate the specific meridians of the hands. Only under the nourishment of true qi can the damage to the hands be dissipated by the practice, and the more you practice, the stronger you become, otherwise, relying on the content recorded in the book, cultivating the iron sand palm, not only will you not succeed in practicing the method, but will continue to cause great damage to the body, and eventually become disabled.
The reason why Ding Qi frowned was also in the cultivation of true qi.
The mental method in this book is much more advanced than the superficial True Qi Handling Technique that Ding Qi practiced for two years. At least in terms of the effect of increasing the amount of true qi, it is much better.
After feeling the advantages of the iron sand palm method, Ding Qi immediately and decisively gave up the original heart method and changed this kind of exercise.
Even so, Ding Qi's True Qi cultivation speed was still slow. made him speechless about his poor cultivation qualifications.
According to the description in the book, with his current True Qi cultivation speed, it would take at least three years to complete the first step. It was also mentioned in the book that if you are a cultivator with excellent qualifications, you can complete the first step in just three months, and even if you have intermediate qualifications, you can complete it in one year. This made Ding Qi extremely helpless, and once again realized the difference in his cultivation qualifications.
If you really want to achieve a small success in the cultivation of this exercise, to the point where it can be used, you must practice at least to the third level. Ding Qi estimated according to his cultivation qualifications, I am afraid that it will take more than forty years, which he can't bear at all.
In fact, as they get older, after passing the peak of their physical strength, their cultivation speed will become slower and slower, and most people will not be able to reach the third level. Even if he was willing to spend decades of hard work to cultivate this third-rate exercise, in the end, when he passed the peak of his physical strength, he would not be able to cultivate to the third level in his life. This fact made Ding Qi feel helpless.
This cheat, which originally made Ding Qi look forward to it, was simply useless to him.
At this time, Ding Qi really understood the reason why this iron sand palm was widely spread, but few people cultivated. For ordinary people with average qualifications and no drug assistance, even if they know the method of cultivation, it is useless.
Putting the book back in his arms, Ding Qi let out a long sigh.
"After a while, I'll go to Liangcheng to see it again. Perhaps, I can find a martial art that suits me more than this iron sand palm. Ding Qi thought unrelentingly.
Since he knew that the secret book in his hand was useless to himself, Ding Qi did not plan to cultivate again, but made another plan.
He didn't stay at home for too long.
When Ding Shan sent him back, he naturally talked to Ding's father and mother about taking Ding Qi out and becoming an apprentice. As Ding Qi expected, Ding's father agreed to this matter after a little consideration.
Before Ding Shan left, he said that this matter would be arranged soon, so that they could wait for the news with peace of mind. In other words, Ding Qi will soon have the opportunity to go to Liangcheng again.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi couldn't help but smile on his face.
If he can go to Liangcheng, he can go to the armory shop to find martial arts that suit him.
Although he did not become a disciple of Qingyunmen, he did not give up the idea of practicing martial arts and wandering the rivers and lakes. Ding Qi is not willing to stay in the mountains for the rest of his life, like other children, farming, hunting, and then for the rest of his life. He thought that as long as he found a martial art suitable for his cultivation, and with the power of self-preservation, he planned to go outside for a while.
Although he won't stay at home for too long, since he is at home, he wants to do more. Picking firewood every day, picking medicine has never been left behind.
Next, Ding Qi took the basket in front of him, rummaged in it a few times, and smiled again.
There are two anchovies in it, which are today's harvest.
"I don't know, if the amount of true qi in the body increases again, can we find more anchovy grass on the mountain. Ding Qi thought hopefully in his heart.
Since the true qi given to him by Lao Zhang Toudu has been thoroughly refined, this year, although the true qi in Ding Qi's body is still slowly growing, the efficiency of his search for anchovy grass has not changed, and it is still at the level of one plant every three or four days.
It has been a long time since we were able to find two herbs at once, as we are today.
As for the reason, Ding Qi thought about it, and could only think that after refining his true qi, he encountered some kind of bottleneck. In addition, in the past year, the true qi he can cultivate is too little, and he can't break through the bottleneck at all, so he can't improve the efficiency of searching for anchovy grass.
Only when the amount of True Qi in the body increases to a certain extent, will the search efficiency be improved again.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi sat up from the stone, picked up the basket, and walked down the mountain.
