Chapter 22: Sorrow
Early the next morning, Lu Tong woke up leisurely: "What's wrong with me?".
Lu Tong held his head with both hands and shook it vigorously, and looked around, this was the hut where he lived.
"I remember yesterday ......" Thinking of yesterday, Lu Tong stood up suddenly, and touched his head several times with both hands, there was no sign of bleeding, and there was no trace of injury, could it be that he was dreaming, Lu Tong twisted his face hard, it hurt, and it hurts, but he was obviously ...... yesterday
Lu Tong clearly remembered that he was seriously injured when he crashed into a tree while practicing exorcism yesterday, and then hurried back to the wooden house for fear of being seen, and found the healing stone found during the test, yes, what about that stone, that stone?
Lu Tong began to realize that the stone was a treasure, a treasure that could heal injuries quickly, and hurriedly looked around, looking for it several times, but he didn't find anything, the wooden house is such a big place, where is it?
"Was it stolen by someone else?" and then he denied this idea, the senior brothers were busy with their own business after the master left, so what leisure did they have to look at themselves stupid? But why was it gone?
Suddenly, Lu Tong felt that something was flashing in his primordial spirit, and this was okay, Lu Tong hurriedly sat down and began to investigate.
"Oh my God! what's going on...... How is this possible. Lu Tong exclaimed.
I saw that the flat brownish yellow stone has a quarter of the area exposed, flickering with flickering light, suspended next to his own primordial spirit, the light at the quarter is particularly conspicuous, a little almost black and white, one bright and one dark regularly alternate, these are not the most magical, the most amazing thing is that every time this light alternates, Lu Tong feels his own primordial spirit is extremely happy, and the divine consciousness that has just been generated is also agile and abnormal, but Lu Tong clearly feels that his divine consciousness is compared with the stone, just like the feeling of raindrops compared to the sea。
Lu Tong frowned, I don't know if this phenomenon is good or bad, he slowly runs his divine sense, normal, very normal, without any discomfort, and his divine consciousness seems to be much stronger than yesterday.
He slowly absorbed the aura from the outside world, and slowly gathered into the sea of dantian qi through the operation of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra.
"It's been issued, this has been issued, this has been issued. This was Lutong's first reaction after a week of operation.
In the past, Lu Tong didn't know how many days and nights of Zhou Tian could accumulate a little bit of undetectable vitality, but now it's good, whenever Zhou Tian absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the stone at the Yuan Shen will have a trace of black and white compatibility, and the white gas will be compatible with it, and with the eight veins of the Qi Jing slowly running to the dantian qi sea, it will merge into the colorful clouds. Lu Tong could clearly feel that there was a trace of growth in the sea of qi.
An hour later, Lu Tong jumped up with a cry of joy, this time it was a blessing in disguise, I knew that this inconspicuous stone was so magical, even if it broke my head a thousand times, it was worth it.
Lu Tong finally figured out the current function of this stone, which can restore wounds, nourish the primordial spirit, strengthen the divine sense, strengthen the sea of qi, and increase the vitality, as for how much effect it has, it is not something that Lu Tong can find in just one hour, but it will definitely have a huge effect, as for whether there is any other effect, it is still unknown, Lu Tong also tried to use his divine sense to move the stone, but the stone did not move at all, and then Lu Tong gave up this idea, stay there and stay there! Anyway, there is no harm, since this stone is flickering and dimming, let's call him black and white stone! Although the name is a bit rustic, Lu Tong is too lazy to think about it so much.
A month later, Lu Tong sat in his wooden house, unusually troubled, restless, and extremely flustered, it was not that there was something wrong with his cultivation, to be exact, there was also a problem, not that the progress was too slow, but that it was too fast.
In just one month, Lu Tong has cultivated according to his normal cultivation, and now he has reached the third layer of the Qi training period, and there are faint signs of breaking through to the fourth layer, and the exorcism technique has already been refined, even the stones that move their own weight are also extremely flexible, and the golden dagger and Aoki shield given by the master are basically sent and received freely.
That's it, Lu Tong fell into a panic, he used to know what the whole sect knew, if suddenly the progress was rapid, it would be strange if people didn't make people suspicious? When others asked him how to answer, could he answer truthfully, I have a treasure that can restore wounds, nourish the Yuan Shen, strengthen the divine sense, strengthen the sea of qi, and increase the vitality. If that's the case, it is estimated that Lu Tong will not survive for a day, not only the senior brother of the same sect, but also the uncle and uncle of the foundation building and the knot period will also come to snatch it.
"What should I do?" Lu Tong was anxious.
"That's right. Suddenly, Lu Tong slapped his head, as if he thought of something.
He hurriedly took out the jade slip that recorded the "Five Elements True Solution" from the storage bag and checked it carefully, he clearly remembered that there was a technique called "Breathing Technique" in it, and at that time he was secretly teasing himself, what is the use of the predecessors of the cultivation of the truth to create such an exercise, who has nothing to do and hides their own realm! But now it seems that it is necessary to practice this exercise, no, it is necessary to cultivate.
After carefully studying the introduction and cultivation methods of the Breath Gathering Technique, Lu Tong was secretly taken aback. In it, the Breath Gathering Technique is the only high-level technique that has no realm requirements, and any monk can practice, and when practiced to the fullest, it can gather the spiritual energy of the whole body in the depths of the dantian qi sea, compress and gather, and finally form a little bit of dust granular matter that cannot be checked, and the specific realm level is controlled by the cultivator himself, as long as he does not encounter a monk who is two realms higher than the cultivator, he will generally not be seen through.
It was also mentioned above that cultivating this kind of technique is also extremely difficult, first of all, it requires the divine sense to be stronger than one's own realm to be successful, and the cultivation is very slow, and it must go through countless attempts before it can be used freely, so there are very few monks in the cultivation realm to practice this kind of technique.
Lu Tong thought about it, the level of the realm in the cultivation realm directly represents the strength of the monk, showing that his own strength is too late, who would waste time and energy to learn this useless technique, and even if it is cultivation, there are few monks whose divine sense is stronger than their own realm!
But he is different, in the face of his own situation now, Lu Tong has no choice but to practice this method, fortunately, after the black and white stone is constantly nourished and exercised, Lu Tong's Yuan Shen Divine Sense is also powerful and abnormal, according to the test standard of the exorcism technique, it is estimated that his own divine consciousness should be stronger than the divine consciousness of the fourth-layer cultivator of Qi cultivation.
After carefully studying this, Lu Tong relaxed his whole body and immediately began to practice this technique.
Perhaps because the divine sense is extremely powerful and far beyond his own realm, coupled with the form, Lu Tong gave up all other cultivation and practiced this breathing technique with all his might, but he didn't expect that in just one month, he would practice this breathing technique to the fullest, and the moment he practiced it to the fullest, Lu Tong was extremely excited, and finally refined this technique, and now he didn't have to worry about the rapid progress of his own cultivation.
On this day, Lu Tong slowly reduced his realm to the first level of the Qi cultivation period, looking at a drop of cyan water on his right shoulder, Lu Tong smiled, and then walked out of the wooden house and came to Ding Tie's wooden house.
"Senior Brother Ding, are you there?"
"Brother, I'm coming. As soon as the words fell, I saw Ding Tie walking out of the wooden house.
"Let's go! Senior Brother Yang, they are also here. Ding Tie said, and then walked with Lu Tong towards Yang Shouyuan and the others.
Yesterday, Huang Yansong came to give an order, and Uncle Su asked all the disciples to go to her cave early tomorrow morning, with important things to arrange, and strictly ordered any disciples to be absent, so that everyone guessed for a long time and didn't guess why, so they could only gather early this morning to go to Uncle Su's cave mansion to listen to the teachings.
"Ah, Senior Brother Yang, you have reached the third level of Qi refining. With Song Bao's shout, everyone looked at Yang Shouyuan in unison, wasn't it? The three cyan droplets on Yang Shouyuan's right shoulder were particularly conspicuous.
"Hehe, I also just broke through to the third layer this morning, it's nothing, the key is to see when we break through to the fourth layer. When he said this, Yang Shouyuan looked at the sky with a melancholy expression.
What he said was not wrong at all, as the foundation of the entire cultivation of the Qi cultivation period, the first three layers will basically not encounter any difficulties, generally disciples will cultivate to the third layer in about a year, but from the third layer onwards, it is extremely difficult to advance to each level, especially when the third layer enters the fourth layer, some people need two years, and some people need three years or even longer.
In short, the fourth layer of the Qi training period is the watershed of the Qi training period monks, as long as you enter the fourth layer of the Qi training period and reach the middle of the Qi training period, you can fly with the sword, you can go out to practice, hunt demon beasts, and get opportunities, you can do a lot of things that you couldn't do before, so the goal of every disciple who has just entered the sect in the first three years of hard cultivation is to reach the cultivation on the fourth layer of the Qi training period as quickly as possible.
Lu Tong saw Yang Shouyuan enter the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, and then looked at the two drops of water on the right shoulders of Ding Tie and the others, and secretly thought: "I entered the third layer of the Qi training period a month ago, and these are all thanks to the merits of the black and white stone, it seems that this black and white stone is the biggest reliance on my cultivation in the future, and I must hide it well, and I must not let others know that I have such a treasure."
"Let's go! Don't let Uncle Su wait. After Yang Shouyuan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in the direction of Uncle Su's Cave Mansion.
