In the eyes of the students of Bingyin's class, the senior who had been unable to draw Qi into his body and had been repeated to their class was a person with a weird personality.
He always seemed to be smiling. He has been practicing for many days without making any progress, and there is no sign of anxiety on his face. It seems that this is good. The chief once went to ask him about his cultivation and wanted to help him, but he kept talking about him in various directions, and in the end he didn't ask anything.
After practicing every day, he would either go back to his room and take a nap, or hang out in the library, or wander around the back mountain alone, never wanting to communicate with others. Zhaili organized the Feihong team, and someone wrote his name on it, but he politely rejected it.
Over time, no one paid attention to him anymore.
…
Yang Zhen lived a very leisurely and comfortable life.
During the day, after practicing, he would either go to the stone space to build a beautiful home, or go to the book hall to borrow various books. Yiyi was also very interested in the knowledge of this world, so he often read to her. After all, as a little thing, it is more troublesome to read books by yourself.
When he has nothing to do, he likes to wander along the path in the back mountain. As the weather gradually gets warmer, green trees branch out, flowers bloom, and spring is everywhere in the mountains, making him full of expectations for the days ahead.
Twenty days passed like this.
The day finally came, on the night of the first day of March, when Yang Zhen sat by the pond in the space, staring at the smooth mirror-like water in front of her, she couldn't help but feel her heartbeat.
After waiting for thirteen months, today will be the day to start harvesting.
He took off all his clothes and jumped into the water like a fish.
He felt comfortable and continued to draw water with both hands, drawing a white track on the lake.
Soon, he came to the center of the pond, took a deep breath, and plunged into the bottom of the pond.
A piece of water dragon jade is suspended quietly in the water. Next to it, eight water spirit stones occupy a corner according to the position of Tai Chi Bagua.
The bright white light shone on the spirit stone, like eight bright stars in the night sky.
From Wuji comes Tai Chi, from Tai Chi all things come into being. This is the Qi before all things come into being. This is the innate Qi.
This formation refers to Tai Chi to generate all things, thereby giving rise to the innate water spirit.
Yang Zhen suppressed her excitement, took out a clay pot that had been stored at the bottom of the water, drew a big circle around the formation, and then closed the pot. Then he gently kicked his legs, and his whole body went straight up, returning to the water.
On the shore, he opened the clay pot and felt as if he could smell a burst of fresh water spirit, which penetrated his heart and lungs and made his whole body feel refreshed.
Without hesitation, he raised the clay pot and poured water into his body.
After drinking, he threw the clay pot into the water and let out a long roar, letting go of the depression and worries of the past year!
The sound gradually stopped, and he felt extremely happy. Then he put his hands away and started twisting his whole body according to the key points of [Gymnastics].
…
Ten days later, Yang Zhen came to Yiyi after drinking another can of water.
Today, the little thing will check the result of absorbing the innate water spirit energy.
A small green grass was gently held in his hand, and Yiyi was quietly sensing his wood spiritual roots.
"Brother, your spiritual root is now an inch or two long!" the little thing said happily.
"Really?" Although she had been prepared in her heart, Yang Zhen was still excited when she heard Yiyi say this.
Ten days are one minute long, and this speed is as expected.
"But..." The little thing stopped talking.
Yang Zhen's heart sank, could something unexpected happen?
"What's wrong?" he asked in a deep voice.
"There is good news and there is bad news. Brother, which one do you want to hear?" the little thing asked with a smile.
You little guy actually did this, Yang Zhen was angry and funny.
But from Yiyi's relaxed laughter, he intuitively felt that it wasn't a big deal.
"Let me tell you the bad news first."
"The bad news is," Yiyi said word by word: "The effect of this formation on you will gradually weaken."
"Gradually weakening?" Yang Zhen's heart tightened: "To what extent?"
"In the beginning, it only increased by one point every day; after a while, it only increased by eight centimeters per day; after a while, it only increased by six centimeters, five centimeters, or three centimeters per day!"
"how so?"
"Probably because the formation is set up in this space, the rules of the bluestone space are not complete yet, so the effect will gradually decrease."
Yang Zhen sighed, my spiritual roots are really ill-fated!
He asked with some frustration: "What's the good news?"
"The good news is..." Yiyi's clear and cheerful voice sounded in his mind: "You have more time to strengthen your spiritual roots! The reason is still related to this bluestone space!"
This is the first time Yiyi takes the initiative to mention this stone.
It's a pity that although she regained some memories, the origin of this stone is still unclear.
"Our small space is still growing and evolving! It itself can derive a large amount of innate energy," the little thing introduced happily: "The spiritual roots in your body are nourished by the innate energy here, and their vitality is much greater. It can grow longer than I expected!"
"Moreover, I can also use the rules of this space to help you hide part of the grown spiritual roots, so that others don't know how long your spiritual roots are!"
Yang Zhen was surprised and happy. There was no bad news here, it was simply great news!
According to Xiao Dong's latest judgment, the growth of the wood spiritual roots in Yang Zhen's body is divided into five stages. Each stage lasts for eight, eight and sixty-four days, which coincides with the definition of the sixty-four hexagrams of Tai Chi.
The five stages are consistent with the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.
"Five stages, the first sixty-four days, one percent per day; the second sixty-four days, eight thousandths per day; the third...seven thousandths; the fourth...thousandths Five; the last sixty-four days, three thousandths!"
Yang Zhen took out a pen and paper and began to calculate step by step to see how long her spiritual roots could grow.
It's a pity that he didn't have a calculator, he complained in his mind, so he had to multiply the products several times.
I don’t know how long it took, but he calculated the following results:
In the first sixty-four days, the total growth was 189 times. At this time, the spiritual root was 208 inches long;
In the second sixty-four days, the growth increased 1665 times, and the spiritual root reached 346 inches;
The third time, the increase was 156 times, and the spiritual root was 540 inches;
The fourth time, an increase of 1376 times, the spiritual root is 743 inches;
The last time, it increased 135 times, and the spiritual root was 100 inches!
Yang Zhen was shocked. According to this new growth rate, in five sixty-four days, the length of his spiritual root will be ten inches!
Perfect ten inches! Tianling roots without any flaws!
Is this a coincidence or providence?
"Ah——" He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, feeling ecstatic in his heart!
Suddenly, he thought of a question, five sixty-four days, that is three hundred and twenty days.
Counting from the first day of March, three hundred and twenty days later, it will be the twentieth day of the first month of next year. (Note: A year in Zhenyujie is calculated as 12 months and 360 days.)
On the tenth day of the first lunar month next year, as soon as the spring break is over, there will be a selection competition for thirty places.
If he started practicing on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, would it still be too late?
