Chapter 36: The Two Change
"The martial arts moves circulating in the Jianghu faction are really not comparable to ordinary kung fu. Ding Qi came back from the direction of the Tongfu Inn, and thought happily while secretly comparing his newly learned martial arts moves.
Since Ding Qi bought the Beast Avoidance Scatter last time, he has been cultivating the method of water depth every day according to the usual arrangement, and at the same time, he has also used the facilities to practice various martial arts moves.
However, sometimes, he would also go to the Tongtongfu Inn like today, and ask Lao Bai for some martial arts moves unique to the Qingyun Sect.
During this period of time, the relationship between Ding Qi and Lao Bai has become more and more familiar. As long as he is willing to put in some effort, there is hope that he will come up with some exercises from Lao Bai.
These martial arts moves are all unique to the Qingyun Sect, and they are much more advanced than ordinary road goods.
Coupled with his keen five senses, his various body functions are far more comparable, and the martial arts moves he learned from Lao Bai were quickly able to learn, which played a great role in Ding Qi's cultivation.
The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that what he could get from Lao Bai could only be some basic martial arts of the Qingyun Sect, and the various palm techniques and swordsmanship secretly passed down in those sects would never be taught to him by Lao Bai.
After returning to the medicine garden, Ding Qi couldn't help but think about the innate skills while mastering his newly learned moves.
Ding Qi's cultivation of this innate skill has been in many places, making him feel the magic of this exercise. The most obvious thing is that his five senses have been greatly enhanced, his physical functions have been continuously improved, and his mind has become more and more clear.
But after cultivating so far, Ding Qi also found that there were some problems with this exercise.
For some reason, the aspect of True Qi that was most obvious, which could increase a cultivator's strength and physical strength, was not manifested in Ding Qi.
Even if it is an ordinary martial arts method, after cultivating to the second level, after the cultivator has activated his true qi, his strength should have far exceeded that of ordinary people. With a wave of his hand, it is no longer a problem to break a small tree.
This is not the case with Tinzi. His strength, not to mention breaking trees with a wave of his hand, was no match even for a stronger man. So far, it is only the level of ordinary people.
The true qi of innate gong did not have any bonus to his strength.
It's as if this true qi doesn't have this effect at all.
At the beginning, he was able to make Wu Zhai Lord and other mountain bandits and robbers so jealous, and he also relied on his superb body skills, palm skills and frightening sword skills.
"Could it be that the true qi of the innate skill can't strengthen the strength!" Ding Qi thought worriedly.
But Tinzi soon dismissed the idea. He knew very well that the innate skill he had cultivated was a very advanced exercise.
Even ordinary martial arts can greatly increase the strength of cultivators, not to mention this innate skill. He guessed that this was just because of the special innate gong method and the effect of true qi on enhancing strength, which came relatively late. As long as he continues to cultivate, when he reaches the next few layers, he will show results.
"Regardless of the cultivation of the next few layers, the most important thing now is to break through the current bottleneck and cultivate to the second level. Thinking of the recent cultivation of innate skills, Ding Qi said to himself.
On the third day after returning from Liangcheng, Ding Qi's cultivation of innate skills unexpectedly fell into a bottleneck, and he was unable to break through to the third layer for a long time.
Martial artists practice martial arts and often encounter various bottlenecks. Especially when you are about to break through a certain layer of exercises, it is especially common, like the one that Ding Qi is encountering now.
During the bottleneck, True Qi growth becomes extremely slow.
At this time, the cultivator could only wait patiently and cultivate step by step until the moment when the bottleneck was broken.
The bottleneck of cultivation is something that is often encountered among martial artists, and Ding Qi has been prepared for this for a long time, and when he encountered it at the beginning, he was not too surprised.
The bottleneck encountered in the early stage of this kind of cultivation will not last too long, generally not more than ten days, and at most it can be broken through within half a month.
Now that he is about to complete the cultivation of the second layer of the innate skill, even in the bottleneck state, it will not take him ten days to practice the second layer of the innate skill.
At that point, the bottleneck will naturally be lifted.
Time is in cultivation, and day by day. Ding Qi finally cultivated the second layer of innate skills and began to enter the third layer of cultivation.
On this day, Ding Qi unexpectedly appeared in Qixia Town because of the mission of the Qingyun Sect, and sent Zhang Tao, who he met by chance, out of the medicine garden, stood outside the house for a long time, silent, and finally sighed in his heart.
Today, Zhang Tao, who is already a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect, has received an assignment from the sect to carry out a mission around Qixia Town.
Two childhood friends, after almost a year apart, meet again.
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were quite happy at the beginning. Soon, though, things changed.
After the greetings, the two were stunned to find that they and each other no longer had any common language.
They are no longer able to talk and laugh as they used to.
After all, Zhang Tao was a core disciple of the Qingyun Sect.
What Zhang Tao talked about was mostly the entanglement of interests and intrigue between the inner disciples and core disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and Ding Qi didn't know anything about it.
When Ding Qi and Zhang Tao reacted, they finally realized that the two had reached the point where they had nothing to talk about.
The original childhood friend has no common language with himself.
In the end, the two ended the meeting in a rather awkward atmosphere.
In fact, this kind of thing has long been a sign.
When Zhang Tao first entered the Qingyun faction, the two exchanged letters quite frequently.
Zhang Tao often introduces all kinds of things in the Qingyun School in an excited tone, and Ding Qi often writes to Zhang Tao and communicates.
However, as time went on, the correspondence between the two became less and less.
If it weren't for Zhang Tao's mission to come to Qixia Town this time, he wouldn't have come to the medicine garden on purpose.
For the relationship with his original childhood friend, it became weaker and weaker, and Ding Qi also felt helpless.
Whether it is Ding Qi or Zhang Tao, both of them know in their hearts that after thinking about today, the connection between the two will only become weaker and weaker, until there is no longer any contact.
"Hey!" faintly recalled the scene when the two of them were happy and playing together as children, and Ding Qi sighed in his heart.
He knew that the simple time of the two of them as children was gone forever and would never come back.
After a long silence, he finally shook his head, dispelling the thoughts that had flooded into his mind.
Ding Qi doesn't have much time to do now, to be sentimental, to focus on this kind of thing, he has other important things to do.
In the past few days, Ding Qi has had to put all his thoughts on the matter of innate strength.
Because, Ding Qi found that there was something wrong with his innate cultivation.
After cultivating the second layer of innate skills, the bottleneck did not disappear as he expected. Now the cultivation of the third layer is still as slow as before.
Originally, with the situation that Ding Qi knew, when a martial artist broke through a certain layer of exercises, the bottleneck would naturally disappear, but now the situation of innate skills is not the case.
He was puzzled by this question. However, in the past few days, after repeated thinking, Ding Qi already has an extremely bad conjecture in his heart.
