Entering June, the sun is scorching like fire.
Zhuque Academy.
Behind the mountain, there is the Wujing Pagoda.
Chu Xiu, who was shirtless and only wearing homemade shorts, was lying on the rocking chair and leisurely flipping through a martial arts scripture related to acupoints.
It has been more than a month since I became a disciple of Zhuque Academy.
During this month, he basically stayed in this martial arts tower every day, reading various martial arts classics.
Zhuque Academy has a history of nearly two thousand years, and its collection of books is vast, including various martial arts scriptures.
These days, Chu Xiu's eyes were opened.
At the same time, I also have a deeper understanding of my own particularity in the initial state.
As Master Chen Changsheng said, other people's initial state is to pound and level the ground; but my first state is to pound and create a deep pit, which can completely build an underground house.
Now, what Chu Xiu wants to do is to build a complete underground palace in this deep pit.
He needs to thoroughly study his initial state to see if there is any room for improvement.
The first level is related to the foundation of martial arts. The more thorough the research, the greater the benefit will be to the foundation of martial arts in the future.
"Refining essence and accumulating qi, building the foundation of martial arts, accumulating spirit in the ancestral orifice, accessing the mysterious realm, being at ease with heaven and man..." Chu Xiu whispered, these are the five realms of cultivation in this world.
He was wondering whether his own initial realm could be divided similarly.
"The first stage, refining the essence and accumulating qi...tempering the body, opening the pulse and opening the orifices..." Chu Xiu closed the martial arts scripture in his hand and thought about it silently, "What I can think of is probably to temper the body and purify the true qi."
Tempering the body... can temper muscles, bones, skin, blood, etc.
Purify the true qi, turn it into liquid from vapor, solidify it from liquid, etc.
"In addition, the distance at which the true energy can be released is also an aspect that can be developed..."
Chu Xiu pondered, thought about it, and finally decided on three directions:
Temper your physique, purify your true energy, and control your true energy.
After making the decision, Chu Xiu climbed to the top of Houshan Mountain and came to the high pavilion where Chen Changsheng lived and briefly explained his plan.
"Go find Zhao Si." Chen Changsheng's voice came from the high pavilion, "He has a bronze furnace there. You can go and practice in it."
"Bronze furnace?" Chu Xiu blinked and nodded, "Okay."
After a while.
Chu Xiu came to the forging room of his fourth senior brother Zhao Wangsun and immediately saw the large bronze furnace located in the center of the forging room.
It's a foot and a half tall.
Zhao Wangsun was resting on the rocking chair next to the bronze furnace.
"Fourth Senior Brother, Master asked me to practice in your big furnace." Chu Xiu walked into the forging room and said directly.
Zhao Wangsun opened his eyes, glanced at Chu Xiu, and said in surprise: "Are you sure it's this big furnace?"
Chu Xiu nodded.
Zhao Wangsun stood up, looked at Chu Xiu, and asked: "Do you know how to practice martial arts?"
Chu Xiu shook his head.
Horizontal martial arts training is what is often called hard skills, such as iron cloth shirt, golden bell cover, etc.
Zhao Wangsun said: "My furnace is specially used to quench various iron ores. The temperature inside is very high. Even a master of Tongyou Realm who is proficient in Henglian martial arts will not be able to last long in this furnace. .”
"Master asked me to come." Chu Xiu said concisely.
"Master..." Zhao Wangsun paused, his right hand formed into a palm, and he slapped it directly on the furnace body, and the upper furnace lid suddenly opened wide.
"Protect your eyes and ears." Zhao Wangsun warned.
Since it was Master who asked this little junior brother to come here, he naturally had no reason to stop him.
"Okay." Chu Xiu nodded, then looked at the big stove and suddenly felt like Sun Houhou.
Monkey Sun was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu walked slowly to the bronze furnace.
The hot coal fire was still burning under the furnace.
"Be careful." Zhao Wangsun warned again.
Chu Xiu nodded slightly, jumped lightly, and immediately fell into the bronze furnace.
at the same time.
Chen Changsheng arrived in an instant and stood outside the bronze furnace. With his hands outstretched, wisps of thick ice-colored Qi surrounded the entire bronze furnace.
Zhao Wangsun, who was still a little worried at first, felt relieved when he saw Chen Changsheng had arrived.
In the bronze furnace.
The moment he entered, Chu Xiu felt as if he had fallen into a sea of fire, and it was unbearably hot.
In an instant, the temperature inside the bronze furnace dropped sharply.
Chu Xiu stepped on the red iron ore with his feet and only felt a slight burning pain.
"The wild ice silkworm cold poison in your body has been suppressed by you for five or six years with all kinds of tonics and poisons that are very dry and hot. There is a backlog..." Chen Changsheng's voice sounded, "Take advantage of this opportunity to either completely absorb it. It, or release it.”
"Okay, I would like to ask Master for more guidance." Chu Xiu said respectfully.
Chen Changsheng said calmly: "The temperature of this furnace will get higher and higher. You'd better adapt as soon as possible, otherwise you will be burned by the fire. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Chu Xiu's heart tightened and his face became a little more serious.
boom!
The stove lid is closed.
Chu Xiu felt as if he was completely isolated from the outside world. The surroundings were filled with scorching heat waves and he could no longer hear any sounds from outside.
Outside the bronze furnace.
Chen Changsheng glanced at Zhao Wangsun, "Are you interested in the Black Immortal Stone?"
"Black Immortal Stone?" Zhao Wangsun nodded quickly.
Black Immortal Stone is the iron ore that every caster dreams of. It is crystal clear and black. Weapons made from Black Immortal Stone are both sharp and tough.
"There is a black immortal stone at the bottom of Qingming Abyss in Wuzhou." Chen Changsheng said, "There happens to be a treasure there that can truly resolve the cold poison in Xiao Shisan's body."
"Master, what do you mean?" Zhao Wangsun was somewhat expectant.
"Take this stove and go to Qingmingyuan." Chen Changsheng said.
"Carry the stove..." Zhao Wangsun glanced at the one-and-a-half-foot tall bronze furnace and hesitated, "Master, should you carry it, or..."
boom!
A short stick hit Zhao Wangsun on the head.
Zhao Wangsun endured the pain and laughed dryly, knowing who had carried it.
The Fourth Master of the Academy carried the bronze furnace on his shoulders, strode down the mountain, left Suzaku Academy, and left Chang'an City... This really shocked many people.
Many people are talking about it and are curious about the whereabouts of Mr. Fourth.
Chu Xiu, who was staying in the bronze furnace, still had no idea about this.
After the furnace lid was closed, he completely lost contact with the outside world. He sat cross-legged in the furnace, his whole body exuding chilly energy, fighting against the increasingly hot furnace wall.
The temperature in the furnace has reached a dynamic equilibrium.
"High temperature can quench the body."
"The space in the furnace is small. Besides tempering my body, I can also sharpen my true energy..."
Chu Xiu pondered deeply, and the zhenqi that was constantly emitting from his body filled the bronze furnace.
Once the true energy leaves the body, it is generally uncontrollable.
In this bronze furnace, as Chu Xiu's body filled with more and more true energy, becoming more and more dense, he gained a little more control over the true energy outside his body.
Control the air.
This is a different kind of Qi control.
As time went by, the true energy permeating the bronze furnace became more and more intense, and Chu Xiu's body slowly rose and floated in the center of the furnace.
Outside the bronze furnace.
Carrying the bronze furnace, Zhao Wangsun has left the boundary of Zhongzhou and is striding towards Wuzhou, which is located outside the southern border of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Master, it's been three days, do you want to feed Xiaoshisan some food and water?" Zhao Wangsun asked.
"I'll go look for it." Chen Changsheng, who had been sitting on the lid of the large bronze furnace, said, and his figure instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance.
After a while.
Chen Changsheng returned with a bright red viper in his hand. He came to Zhao Wangsun's side, smiled evilly, waved his sleeves lightly, and the lid of the bronze furnace suddenly opened.
The viper made a swishing sound and scurried in directly.
next moment.
The furnace lid is closed.
Zhao Wangsun's eyelids twitched slightly and he continued to stride forward without saying anything.
"It seems that Master still hasn't forgotten that he was defeated by his junior brother..."
