As his attention focused, the time he could hold on gradually began to grow longer.
From the first few minutes, it gradually increased to more than ten minutes, and then from more than ten minutes to more than half an hour.
During the process of picking up sand, he unexpectedly discovered that the difference between black sand and white sand is not just about color. Black sand is rough and irregular, while white sand is relatively smooth and delicate.
With the help of subtle sensations from his fingertips, he could barely tell the difference even without using his eyes.
In addition to exercising concentration, picking up sand can also enhance body perception and detailed control.
This may be the purpose of Bai Nianran asking him to pick up sand.
Bows and arrows are different from other weapons.
Attacking at a long distance determines the characteristics of arrows that can miss thousands of miles at a slightest distance.
When aiming and releasing, if you can control the strength, direction, and angle accurately and minutely, you can undoubtedly increase your hits and reduce your misses.
The cultivation in the Island Lord's Mansion is step-by-step. For the disciples, except for the first day of every month when theoretical knowledge is taught, they must be present. At other times, they practice more on their own.
Wei Ci is either practicing or being trained every day.
In more than two months, the cultivation of the first level and the first level of Yuanqi Naibei seems to have reached a bottleneck, because his body no longer leaks impurities, and his basic attributes such as strength, speed, and perception no longer produce an enhanced feeling.
.
There is only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and entering the second level of the first level.
Every time archery training ends, Bai Nianran will arrange for someone to prepare a medicinal bath for him to relieve fatigue and assist in training.
One side is the improvement of cultivation, and the other side is the progress of archery.
Wei Ci was particularly diligent.
During this period, something happened while collecting sand that left him a little confused.
Whenever he was extremely tired from picking up sand and about to become irritable, a strange tingling sensation would appear deep in the center of his eyebrows. Whenever this feeling appeared, Wei Ci could feel it without even using his eyes to see it.
Whether the sand grains are rough or smooth.
This discovery made him a little hopeful and worried at the same time.
The tingling feeling between the eyebrows is very similar to the first time I came into contact with the Golden Book!
Wei Ci did not tell his master Bai Nianran about this matter, at least until he figured out the situation, he did not want to cause trouble to others.
The island owner's mansion, in a spacious hall.
It was another teaching day. Xing Xiuyuan looked calm, sitting cross-legged on a futon, holding a few low-grade Yuan stones in his hands, and was giving a demonstration.
I saw him speak slowly:
"Warriors absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to practice, mainly relying on the air points all over the body. The second stage of the first level is called 'opening acupuncture points and opening meridians'. As the name suggests, this stage focuses on the cultivation of air points and meridians.
"Qi points are densely distributed on the body surface and are the portals for absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth into the body. The meridians grow in the body and their function is to accommodate the movement of vitality.
"The efficiency of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth through the air points is different from the body's natural absorption of vitality of heaven and earth. Please be careful."
After saying this, Xing Xiuyuan began to confirm this theory with practical actions.
He stretched out his hands and held them empty in his palms. The Yuan Stone in his hand was like an open bag, from which a steady stream of heaven and earth Yuan Qi overflowed.
Then, his body shook, and at that moment, transparent vortexes of vitality appeared all over his body.
Several disciples who were close seemed to sense something, but their eyes widened but they saw nothing.
In their perception, the teacher in front of them seemed to be different, but they couldn't explain exactly what was different.
Wei Ci stared at Xing Xiuyuan, thoughtfully.
Qi points are very similar to those body points seen in traditional Chinese medicine clinics in previous lives, but they are different in location and depth.
He could feel that the free "particles" of heaven and earth energy around Xing Xiuyuan's body were slowly gathering towards him.
The moment the transparent vortex appeared, the surrounding vitality seemed like a lost bird finding its nest, converging towards the vortex at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, and being continuously absorbed and swallowed by the vortex.
The rich vitality of heaven and earth stirred up an invisible storm.
The storm grew stronger and stronger, and a faint stream of white air gradually appeared. Xing Xiuyuan, who was in it, was bathed in a faint halo of vitality.
After a few breaths, all the energy of heaven and earth in the Yuan Stone was released, its color gradually became dim, and then it shattered into powder.
The previous magical scene then disappeared.
Xing Xiuyuan looked at the longing expressions of all the disciples, nodded with satisfaction, and added: "The air points are naturally closed and require practice to open them. This is the content of the practice in the stage of opening acupoints and opening channels."
Wei Ci pursed his dry lips and smacked his tongue secretly:
A few primeval stones are gone in the blink of an eye, and practicing is a costly endeavor!
However, he basically had a concept. The air points may be similar to the acupuncture points on the human body in the previous life, except that they were more numerous and distributed on the surface of the human body.
The meridians should also be similar, and maybe you can also find the six meridians of Ren and Du.
It takes a lot of time to open up an air pocket.
According to the teachings, if you waste time opening up the air pockets and are unable to enter the next stage, then in the end it will be useless no matter how many air pockets you open.
Therefore, it is not that the more air pockets are opened, the better. It depends on the actual needs, and the order in which the air pockets are opened is also particular.
Xing Xiuyuan glanced at the disciples present one by one, sensed them carefully, and smiled: "Your talents this year are quite good, and some of them have already entered the stage of opening acupuncture points and opening meridians in advance."
Who is it?
Wei Ci was a little curious, and his eyes followed his gaze, trying to find this outstanding cultivator.
Some disciples were also looking around, but unfortunately the other party was well hidden and no one found anything.
Xing Xiuyuan continued: "The opportunity for advancement in the stage of opening acupoints and unblocking meridians lies in concentration.
"To put it simply, it means focusing on a certain part of the body for practice. As long as one air point is opened, it will become relatively easier to open the air points in other places. At the same time, if one air point is opened, it is considered a successful advancement.
“The fastest way is to supplement it with external substances, such as using natural materials, earthly treasures or elixirs to catalyze stimulation to quickly open the air pockets.
"However, it is best not to use this method. Once used carelessly, it can easily cause physical injury and even damage the foundation of cultivation, leaving hidden dangers."
Wei Ci held his breath and listened carefully. He was now at the bottleneck of promotion.
Bai Nianran focused on teaching him archery, but did not teach him the general knowledge of cultivation. He had to rely on himself.
Xing Xiuyuan said:
"Next is the third stage of the first level, 'Inner Eye Insight'. This stage focuses on the cultivation of spiritual power."
Perhaps because the knowledge of Qi points and meridians is more important, Xing Xiuyuan's teaching time this time was longer than before, and it was also much more detailed.
Wei Ci pricked up his ears. Mental power was a completely new concept.
