Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cultivating Immortals with an Iron Heart
Wu Ge made up his mind to cultivate immortals well, but he didn't plan to give up the college entrance examination. He had a long talk with his parents and persuaded them to allow him to take a year off – he didn't need to go to school anyway, he just had to wait until next year to sign up for the college entrance exam. To prove it, he memorized the textbooks of several more courses in front of them. His parents are actually more relieved about this, and the three courses he took this year are indeed high scores except for English. The difference between them is that their parents feel that since they don't go to school, they should go out to work, in addition to earning some money to support the family, they can also get in touch with the society in advance, which is also good for finding a job after graduating from college in the future. Helplessly, Wu Ge was resolute, in addition to using Cheng Yingxia's set of rhetoric (I have worked hard for more than ten years, how can I take a break), but also found a strong reason: he lost the college entrance examination this year because of physical problems, so the top priority in the future is to practice kung fu with a few masters and practice his body well, so as to ensure that there will be no accidents next year.
Before leaving, Wu Ge's father had a banquet for the three immortals in the restaurant, and the meal was ...... It's a bit embarrassing to be honest. There are many reasons for this situation: for example, Jigong is as greedy as ever, Sun Wukong is as temperamental and active as ever, Lu Dongbin is as "wrong as ever", etc., and of course, there is the traditional dress problem. Regarding these problems, Wu Ge's explanation to his parents in private was "living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, a real master...... Do you see that master in martial arts novels is not weird and crazy?" In other words, there is nothing wrong with this statement, except that most people can't imagine how many years the "secluded mountain forest" is and what "mountain forest" it is.
In contrast, Cheng Yingxia and Lu Xiaoxiao seem much more normal, and the two little girls have sweet mouths, which are deeply loved by Wu Ge's parents. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoxiao was too young, Cheng Yingxia's parents were not there, they would have planned to propose marriage at the wine table.
When he began to invite the three masters to the banquet, Wu Ge still twisted and pinched and pushed three and four, thinking that it was too cheesy, and he was afraid that the three masters would not come (of course, he never doubted that the Jigong Association would refuse). But now it turns out that the phrase "eating people with short mouths" also applies to immortals. When the wine was hot, the three immortals patted their chests and promised that they would definitely cultivate Wu Ge into an immortal - this kid is almost an immortal now, so strong! Wu Ge scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, not knowing how to stop the three masters from opening their mouths. Fortunately, Wu Ge's parents didn't have the same knowledge as them, and they only drank too much as the three masters. However, they also vaguely felt in their hearts that their son was not practicing ordinary martial arts, otherwise he would have practiced the ability to never forget?
In a word, although this meal was a little embarrassing, it made Wu Ge's parents feel more comfortable: such an adventure is not something that can be encountered casually, and the son will be able to train his body and brain well in the future, and he is still worried about having a good future? So although Wu Ge returned from the college entrance examination again this time, and he was hospitalized with a violent illness, which made people worry a lot, his father was in a rare relaxed mood when he set off, and he was full of confidence in the future.
A few months later, Cheng Yingxia, who had achieved a little success in cultivation, went on a hunger strike for five consecutive days. Facing the frightened six elders, Cheng Yingxia had no choice but to confess the secret of secretly cultivating immortals. The surprise parents also feasted the three immortals. Of course, it is a good thing that this daughter of theirs is now willing to endure hardships and practice, and this daughter is so beautiful that they are always worried that something bad will happen. Now that she's so strong, naturally they have put a lot of heart in their hearts - at least they don't have to worry about being bullied by the little hooligans, right?
However, unlike Wu Ge's parents, they have some hidden worries in private: they are worried that their daughter who is so strong in martial arts will not be able to marry in the future. It seems that even cultivating immortals can't be generalized, and everything is different from men and women.
In addition to being a little upset about the college entrance examination, Wu Ge is completely light and can start cultivating immortals.
Now he doesn't have the ties to school, and he doesn't need to hide it in front of his mother, he can go out to the fairy world day and night, and there is no problem with returning late occasionally. In more than two months, he had already passed through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and his cultivation had reached a higher level - during which he had done nothing but go to the station to send Lu Ying.
He is now finally advanced, and he has gradually gained a deeper understanding of immortal arts and immortal cultivation.
Immortalism is based on a hypothesis - which, of course, is also true to a certain extent - is that the world is made up of "qi". The method by which an immortal cultivator uses his own qi to influence and manipulate the qi of the outside world is immortal art. Since the world is made up of "qi", then, at least in theory, immortal art is omnipotent. If there is anything that can't be done, it can only be said that the caster is not strong enough, so he can't achieve the goal. In other words, as long as you have enough energy, you can do anything.
But "qi" cannot be infinitely gathered, which is limited by the "skin." "The upper limit of Western wizard aura is about 30,000" Tvorm, "plus magic weapons, it is theoretically 70,000" Tvorm. "The upper limit of the Eastern Immortals is not clear, and the number of Qi Sui Patriarchs who are currently alive is the most, reaching an astonishing 1.5 million "Tvorm", followed by Chen Tuan Ancestor, with as many as 1.2 million. Although the aura of the immortals greatly exceeds that of the wizards, they themselves admit that the carrying capacity of the "skin" must be limited - this is also the reason why they pursue the so-called "secondary ascension", it is said that after the "second ascension", they can get rid of the skin and exist in the form of aura, and then the gathering of "qi" is no longer subject to any restrictions.
However, "second ascension" is not a simple matter, so far there is no clear cultivation guide, the only thing that is certain is that the qi of a cultivator should be at least one million "Tvorm". Therefore, most immortals do not seriously pursue this goal, but just have a casual attitude. For example, you have spent half your life climbing the world's highest peak, picking up the world's largest diamond, and you are panting and wondering how to enjoy it, but suddenly you hear that you have only climbed the world's second highest peak, and the diamond in your hand is only the second largest in the world, and the world's first peak is ten times higher than the mountain you climbed, and the diamond on it is ten times larger than the one in your hand. How do you react when you hear this? It is estimated that you will also decide to sell the diamond in your hand first and enjoy it first, and then talk about the bigger one with a better chance -- "I have worked hard for half my life, and I should always take a break," this truth is not only understood by Cheng Yingxia and Wu Ge.
Before the "second ascension" was achieved, the immortals were still limited by their skins, and the same was true when they performed immortal arts—they needed to modulate the qi through the operation of qi in different ways in the meridians, so as to endow the qi with different attributes and achieve different purposes—this was the reason why the three immortals emphasized that Wu Ge needed to pass through the eight veins of the Qi meridians, and only then could the practitioner begin to learn various spells.
The first is the "talisman spell" mentioned by the three immortals, that is, the externalization of the aura and the formation of a talisman qi cover. This is a relatively simple immortal technique - Lu Xiaoxiao broke the sports car of the son of the public security chief, and Lu Dongbin used this trick to protect Cheng Yingxia. Although Wu Ge's current cultivation can't deal with sports cars, he can't deal with two or even three wheels - that is to say, when the traffic police are a little worse, there is no problem at all to be a chengguan.
Why is Wu Ge's "talisman charm" not as effective as the three masters, or even as good as Lu Xiaoxiao? You must know that the strength of his aura is more than the sum of the three immortals. The answer to this question is:
1. His 200,000 "Tvorm" gas cannot be used by him freely.
Second, for the immortals, the eight veins of the Tongqi Sutra are only a very rudimentary level, and after that, they have to refine the qi into the bones, flesh, skin, and even hair and beard. Lu Xiaoxiao has already cultivated to the hair, which shows that Wu Ge is really much worse in comparison.
The path of cultivating immortals is really not so easy to walk, even for someone like Wu Ge who has taken super shit luck.
However, he has achieved important milestones after all. Unlike ordinary immortal cultivators, he had an extraordinary aura from the beginning, and qi cultivation was not an urgent issue for him. The path now in front of him was: to learn all kinds of immortal arts and go through a lot of trials, and to unleash his potential as soon as possible - at least to the extent that he could freely use the 200,000 "Tvorm" aura.
Just like a good athlete, what he needs now is practice - training by competition.
