Most of the mountains are evergreen trees, and only a small part are seasonal trees. Therefore, even if late autumn comes, the entire mountains are still green. However, the green is not as lush as in summer. Apart from the drop in temperature, it is difficult to
Feel the breath of autumn.
Of course, a person like Li Xiaotian, who lives in a cave and devotes himself to cultivation, would never know how time has changed.
More than two months have passed, and Li Xiaotian has not woken up once. It seems that he wants to go straight to the Yang Wei channel in one go.
On this day, Li Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed with light. It was obvious that he had penetrated the Yang Vein and reached the sixth level of Tongmai.
This time I spent the longest time practicing meditation, so my hunger was also the strongest.
Li Xiaotian, as usual, fished, made a fire, roasted and ate.
After eating and drinking, Li Xiaotian was thinking about a question. Since he had a top-grade crystal stone in his hand that was enough to supply him with the eighth level of Tongmai, which meant that whether he stayed in the mountains or not would not have much impact on his practice, so, should he?
Leave the mountains and go out to practice?
After much thought, Li Xiaotian decided that it would be better to practice in the mountains.
Although the mountains are dangerous, the place Li Xiaotian chose is extremely hidden and cannot be discovered by ordinary people, let alone the Yuan Beast. It is different outside. If someone discovers that he is hiding the top-quality Crystal Yuan Stone plus the fifth-level early-stage Beast Pill,
One pass to ten, ten to a hundred, he is afraid that he will become an enemy of ten thousand people. With his humble behavior, he can't help but shudder when he thinks that he may face endless pursuit.
"Isn't there a bigger mountain of monks outside the mountain range? Just like Yuan Beast, there are also low-level, mid-level and high-level monks, and they are extremely cunning. If you think about it, Yuan Beast is much cuter than them."
"Besides, the scenery here is beautiful and the environment is peaceful. Practicing here is extremely comfortable."
Li Xiaotian laughed at himself and sighed in his heart.
rustle.
When the thousand-year-old tree heard that the giant Buddha could not be sent away, it made a sound of frustration and its leaves fell one after another.
"The leaves fall off without wind. This big tree is really strange. According to this way, it will fall bald sooner or later." Li Xiaotian said to himself in front of the big tree.
As soon as these words came out, the leaves of the thousand-year-old tree fell even more violently, as if to retaliate against Li Xiaotian, "Why, I have so many leaves that I can't stop them all falling off."
Since he had planned to practice in the mountains, Li Xiaotian no longer wasted any thought and time. He sat cross-legged under the big tree, took out the top-quality crystal stone, and concentrated on drawing Qi.
The seventh level of Tongmai is Renmai.
Renmai is not only a watershed for monks in the stage of unblocking meridians, but also a roadblock for monks in the stage of unblocking meridians.
how you said that?
The Ren meridian, as the front midline meridian of the human body, has a point where it intersects with several meridians of the previous year. As long as the Qi can be channeled through it, the growth in strength will not be comparable to that of the previous levels. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that it is called a watershed.
It is said to be a roadblock, mainly because many monks encounter bottlenecks in the Ren channel. After breaking through the sixth level of the Tongmai, they excitedly rush to the seventh level, and find that the speed of the Tongmai suddenly drops, at least ten times slower than the normal speed.
Times, that is to say, it will take you more than ten times more time than others to open a channel, which means your cultivation career will be wasted.
If there is a bottleneck, then there will naturally be a way to break through the bottleneck.
Generally speaking, there are no more than two ways to break through the bottleneck in the channel-opening stage.
Simple and crude type, defeated by fighting.
The type with a wealth of wealth, fed with elixirs.
The first type usually requires a life-and-death battle, and there may be more than one battle, which is quite dangerous.
The second type has sequelae, and its combat effectiveness is much weaker than that of monks of the same level.
As for Li Xiaotian, there was no need to choose either method, because he had just introduced Qi into his body and found that he did not encounter the so-called bottleneck in cultivation.
Therefore, Li Xiaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this lineage was extremely willful and had ended the dreams of many monks.
Time flies like water. In the blink of an eye, autumn has passed quietly and winter has come silently.
Li Xiaotian practiced meditation unshakably.
At some point, snow began to fall from the sky. It was a huge, white piece, spinning and flying. No one knew the secret of its formation, and probably no one cared about its secret.
After all, there are so many unsolved mysteries in the world, and its number seems insignificant.
Before an hour had passed, the entire mountain range was already covered in silver, and it seemed like a common man who was afraid of the cold, wearing a white coat.
There was a snap.
The snow on the big tree fell on Li Xiaotian's head. I don't know if it was a prank of the tree or it fell naturally, but it didn't matter. Li Xiaotian was unmoved and remained focused on it, so he didn't notice it at all.
There were two more snaps.
If the snow just fell was an accident, then it is inevitable that it fell twice and hit Li Xiaotian now. It is obvious that the culprit was the thousand-year-old tree.
It's a pity that Li Xiaotian was immersed in it, forgot about everything, and was as stable as Mount Tai.
After the trouble failed, the troublemaker also lost interest and could only watch Li Xiaotian practice.
On this day, Li Xiaotian finally opened his eyes that had been closed for more than three months.
However, unlike the previous happy mood, this time, his brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.
Could it be that Li Xiaotian didn't break through the Ren meridian?
It's impossible. Judging from the aura he exuded when he opened his eyes, he should have broken through the Ren channel and reached the seventh level of the Tong channel. The whole process only took less than a hundred days, which shows that his breakthrough was quite smooth.
Why did that make him frown?
In fact, Li Xiaotian had successfully broken through half an hour ago. After the breakthrough, Li Xiaotian felt a little strange. He lost the sense of pleasure that he had before through the Chongmai, and even felt that there was a blockage.
Li Xiaotian remembers reading about this feeling like constipation in a book, which indicates that the bottleneck period of spiritual practice has arrived.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian was startled, and quickly drew in his energy and continued to hit the Du Vein to verify.
The result is as written in the book.
When Li Xiaotian introduced Qi to impact the Changqiang acupoint at the head of Du Vessel, he found that the rate at which Changqiang acupoint absorbs vitality was greatly reduced, which was less than one-tenth of the rate at which you introduced Qi into the body. Not only that, but he also found in despair that the Changqiang acupoint had no energy.
The amount of vitality absorbed in a period of time is also limited. In half an hour, a large amount of vitality entered the body. After absorbing one-tenth, it inexplicably stopped and stopped absorbing vitality. I am afraid that after a while, this long strong point is not
Will eat again.
Encountering a bottleneck, Li Xiaotian was naturally depressed.
What puzzles Li Xiaotian the most is that the book clearly states that the seventh-level Ren meridian is the most easily blocked major meridian for monks. Why did he get blocked at the eighth-level Du meridian?
"I can only say that I am not an ordinary person. Do you think that if you can become a monk from an ordinary person in just one sleep, can you be an ordinary person?" Li Xiaotian comforted himself helplessly.
"All in all, it only took me a year and a half to reach the seventh level of Tongmai. Without this beast elixir and the top-quality crystal element stone, it would be difficult to reach this level in less than ten years at the normal speed. It can be seen from this that cultivation requires
Resources are important.”
"Now that we are encountering a bottleneck, even if we have been relying on these top-grade crystal stones, I am afraid it will take several years to break through the bottleneck. However, how can I get so many top-grade crystal stones? I will probably spend half my life picking up these sesame mung beans.
Come here, and there is not much energy left in this Crystal Yuan Stone. After it is used up, if you use Yuan Dan again, you may have a long way to go if you want to draw energy to break through."
"I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to think about it anymore, as the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Just because the meridians are blocked does not mean that there is nothing to do.
While thinking wildly, Li Xiaotian found that he still had two martial arts books on his body. It was time to practice martial arts.
Which skill should be practiced first between "Hunyuan Fist" and "Shenxing Step"?
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaotian decided to practice the former.
First of all, Li Xiaotian has already practiced Hunyuan Quan to the third level. He has a learning foundation and will be more comfortable practicing it again.
Secondly, the Divine Walking Step is a Xuan-level skill, which is a level higher than that of Hunyuan Fist, which means that it is more difficult to practice and it is not easy to figure out. It is better to wait until you have mastered Hunyuan Fist before making any plans.
.
Some people say, can’t you just practice the two exercises together?
Being too ambitious is a taboo in practicing Kung Fu. Half-heartedness will often only make you unable to achieve your goals and be counterproductive.
Finally, the most important thing is that the Shenxing Step is a defensive exercise that involves oiling the soles of the feet. Only when combined with offensive techniques can it exert its greatest value.
Based on the above considerations, at present, Hunyuan Quan is more suitable for Li Xiaotian.
Since we have planned to practice Hunyuan Quan, this cave is indeed a good place for practice. However, the space is not large for practicing. It is just full of rocks and no flat ground. It is really not suitable. Otherwise, who would want to practice in the ice and snow?
