Outside the cabin, the world was bleak, the wind was blowing, and snowflakes were falling from the sky. The entire Sword God Sect was covered in silver. In the small valley below Tianqiao Peak, there was also a rare moment of tranquility...
The snow started falling yesterday afternoon, and it subsided a little yesterday evening. Then it started snowing again this morning. After snowing for a day, the sky became even darker in the evening, and the snow fell even heavier.
The Sword God Sect is located in Laizhou of the Han Empire. Laizhou is in the southeast of the Han Empire and has a warm climate all year round. There has been no snow in winter for decades. But for some reason this year, just after January, when it was the coldest time of spring, the weather was a bit abnormal. It actually snowed, and it was even colder than winter.
In the midst of the heavy snow, Yan Liqiang was in his cabin, sweating profusely, his skin red, and his whole body seemed to be on fire. As he moved, streams of hot air emanated from his 84,000 pores, making the temperature in the cabin seem to have risen by several degrees without him noticing...
Yan Liqiang spent the entire afternoon today practicing the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing in his room. When he started practicing it for the first time, it was the same as before. But from the second time, Yan Liqiang felt something different. His whole body began to feel hot. At first, only his palms, soles of feet, and the top of his head felt hot. Later, streams of heat continued to penetrate into his palms, soles of feet, and top of his head, like five fire dragons, and began to run rampant in his muscles and bones over and over again.
That feeling was extremely comfortable. Yan Liqiang felt as if his whole body was soaked in a hot spring. But at the same time, Yan Liqiang was sweating all over. His clothes and pants were already soaked. Yan Liqiang had to take off his clothes, pants and shoes, and continued to practice the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing in the small building without interruption in his wearing only a pair of shorts.
When this phenomenon occurred, Yan Liqiang felt that it seemed to be a level in his practice and it was time to break through.
In this situation, Yan Liqiang completely forgot about time, but his body was still instinctively practicing the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing over and over again.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Yan Liqiang felt that the five streams of heat that had penetrated into his body, after traveling throughout his body countless times, suddenly converged at the position of his coccyx and perineum. Then the five streams of heat suddenly merged into one, gathering into his spine and drilling up into the night. His spine shook, and one by one the joints on his spine, like setting off firecrackers, began to crackle and explode, starting from the lowest coccyx, as if dead and alive. Then all the joints, ligaments, and tendons in his body also exploded and vibrated.
The feeling was both strong and shocking. When the joints, ligaments and tendons in his body were vibrating, Yan Liqiang felt as if a huge burden had been unloaded from his whole body. He felt indescribably relaxed and comfortable, especially his joints, ligaments and tendons. At this moment, it was as if they had suddenly come alive, just like a rusty screw that had been re-soaked in motor oil, all the rust disappeared and became smooth again. His whole body suddenly became extremely flexible and refreshing beyond words.
A red light appeared on Yan Liqiang's body, and a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth instantly condensed into five red bows around Yan Liqiang.
The last time he passed the horse stance test, Yan Liqiang was unaware of the strange phenomenon happening outside his body. But this time, he saw it clearly - the five red bows, one big and four small, flew around his body for several circles. Then, four of the five bows flew into his legs and arms at the same time, and the last big bow sank into his spine.
This is exactly the phenomenon that occurs after passing the level of stretching the tendons and pulling the bones. This phenomenon is similar to the phenomenon produced by the advanced stage of Kyudo, but this bow is not that bow. These five bows are the body bow, hand bow, and foot bow. They are the manifestation of the strength that can penetrate the whole body, and the body, hands and feet can exert force like bows. Having five bows on the body is exactly what martial artists need to practice high-level martial arts and combat skills. Without this foundation, no matter how advanced the martial arts and combat skills are given to you, you can only pretend to be good at most. Once you fight, your true colors will be exposed and you will be vulnerable.
Unexpectedly, he passed the level of stretching bones and pulling tendons today. Yan Liqiang was overjoyed. He originally thought that everything would stop after the strange phenomenon of passing the level disappeared. However, what he did not expect was that after the strange phenomenon of stretching bones and pulling tendons disappeared, the heat in his spine that was as powerful as a hot bamboo did not stop, but like a burning dragon, it circled in his chest for several times and then rushed to his dantian qi sea.
With a "boom..." sound, the fire dragon exploded at the location of Yan Liqiang's qi sea.
In just a moment, Yan Liqiang felt that his Qi Sea was like a volcano that was suddenly detonated by a nuclear bomb and erupted. Before he could react to what was happening, he felt a burst of energy rushing up from his Qi Sea, through his chest, through his throat, and finally straight to his forehead...
Yan Liqiang only felt that something seemed to vibrate in his head, and then he felt that all the strength in his body and the heat rising from his sea of qi were suddenly sucked away by something in his head.
Before he lost consciousness, Yan Liqiang seemed to vaguely see the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathering around him again, forming an ancient four-legged giant tripod, covering his entire body, and then sinking into his Dantian Qi Sea...
This is a sign of successfully opening up the Dantian and building the foundation. Could it be that today I have passed both the stages of stretching the tendons and bones and opening up the Dantian and advanced to the level of a warrior
An incredible thought appeared in Yan Liqiang's mind, but then, before he could think about it or verify it, he felt that the suction force of the thing in his head had increased countless times, like a black hole. The heat that had just emerged from his qi sea position and the strength of his whole body at this moment seemed to be completely sucked away at once. His eyes went dark and he fainted all of a sudden.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Liqiang woke up and found himself lying on the floor of the cabin.
Thinking of the scene in which he had just fainted, Yan Liqiang supported himself on the ground with his hands, bent his waist, rolled over and jumped up quickly.
With just one movement, Yan Liqiang felt that he was much more agile than usual and it seemed easier to exert force. He quickly checked his whole body and found that there was nothing serious. He just felt that his lower abdomen was a little different from usual.
Thinking of the last vision he saw before he fainted, Yan Liqiang swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes cautiously, and sank his consciousness to the qi sea in his lower abdomen.
In the past, if he did this, it would be completely useless, and all he could feel was darkness. But at this moment, when his consciousness sank into the qi sea in his lower abdomen, Yan Liqiang felt that he had entered a green void. In that void, he saw a small red cyclone, like a lamp, spinning quietly and firmly in the void.
I have built my foundation... I have built my foundation... I have actually built my foundation and advanced to become a warrior...
Yan Liqiang was stunned, and could hardly believe what he felt. He tried it over and over again several times, and found that what he felt and saw was exactly the same as what he had heard countless times before - the realm of becoming a warrior after successfully building a foundation.
After passing the Stretching Bones and Stretching Level, others still need a long time to open up the Dantian. I have heard that a few talented disciples in the Sword God Sect who have an extraordinary cultivation speed need at least half a year to a year to open up the Dantian and complete the last step of building the foundation after passing the Stretching Bones and Stretching Level. Many people cannot even pass this level in their entire lives and cannot complete the last step of building the foundation. How can I pass two levels in one day? This is too exaggerated. Who would believe it if I tell others
Yan Liqiang was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't believe that he had actually completed the foundation building and became a warrior inexplicably.
Could this also be a manifestation of the powerful effect of Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing? Yan Liqiang kept asking himself this question in his heart, and this seemed to be the only explanation.
Thinking of the strange devouring power in his mind before he fainted, Yan Liqiang was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly felt whether there was anything unusual in his head.
Yan Liqiang saw...
That shocked him completely. He thought that something he would never see again while he was alive was floating quietly in his sea of consciousness and could be clearly perceived by her.
That thing had turned into a star at this moment, blinking and twinkling in his sea of consciousness, emitting a mysterious and deep glow.
…
It was dark outside the window. After staring at the thing in his sea of consciousness for a long time, Yan Liqiang, his heart pounding, finally opened his eyes.
There was no light in the room, but Yan Liqiang could still vaguely see things in the room. He turned his head to look at the clepsydra in the room and found that the time on the clepsydra was already past three in the morning, which was close to the time he usually got up and prepared to go to work.
Seeing the time, Yan Liqiang calmed himself down, quickly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, washed up in the room, took a lantern and opened the door...
A cloud of snowflakes carried by the cold wind flew onto Yan Liqiang's face the moment he opened the door.
The snow still didn't stop, but Yan Liqiang would not let himself stop, nor would he relax his requirements on himself.
After packing up the tools he used daily and filling a bucket with some cleaning liquid, Yan Liqiang was about to walk out of the yard when a lantern and two familiar figures appeared in front of him.
Gu Zexuan wrapped himself up tightly, stamped his feet and blew air on his hands, "Let's go, the mountain road is blocked by snow. If I don't help you with this job today, you won't be able to finish it until tomorrow night. Zhao Huipeng and I will follow you today to see what the toilet on Tianqiao Peak is like. Hey, I didn't expect that someone as handsome as me would have to get up in the middle of the night to clean the toilet..."
Zhao Huipeng, who was a little taciturn, didn't say anything, but just smiled innocently at Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang felt warm in his heart, and everything was self-evident. He didn't say much, and directly led the two people towards the mountain...
