The first test ended successfully, and five thousand points was quite comfortable. Lu Changfeng took Zhou Hua and Longhu to eat and drink wildly for a few days, and accumulated seven or eight points. Five thousand points is only fifty taels of silver. To Lu Changfeng, it is nothing, so there is no need to feel bad at all.
Lu Changfeng found out that the college's Red Fire Pill could be redeemed with points, so he ran to buy it excitedly. He also pretended to be a big money, raised his hand and threw 3,000 points out. Unexpectedly, they ignored him at all. Then he remembered that only the disciples of the inner courtyard were eligible to redeem this thing. The disciples of the outer courtyard could only wait for the annual assessment to squeeze into the inner courtyard. Only then are you eligible to redeem it, you straight bitch! It's true that the ones from the outer courtyard are not even as good as those raised by the stepmother. There was no other way, Lu Changfeng could only run back in despair.
Yes, let’s practice hard! But the intensity that followed was too much for him. The reason is that Long Hu and Zhou Hua learned from shame and then became brave. They studied hard and practiced hard to the point of abnormality. The key two people not only practiced by themselves, but also brought Lu Changfeng along with them. The three of them would tie dozens of kilograms of iron sandbags to their legs and run hundreds of times around the school grounds. Lu Changfeng's physical condition was not as good as theirs, and he had lost weight in more than a month. Now Lu Changfeng was frightened when he saw the two of them.
However, if you encounter such a "bad friend" in life, everyone will probably be happy.
Facts have proved that hard work can still pay off. Accompanied by Zhou Hua and Long Hu, and under the careful guidance of Zhang Chao, Lu Changfeng practiced hard and raised his cultivation level to the peak of the ninth level of the martial arts realm in three months. Of course, Zhang Chao also played an important role in giving Lu Changfeng the Red Fire Pill in private.
During this period, Lu Changfeng's understanding of the boundless sea deepened. Although there is still only the first level of the sea, the level is much higher than half a year ago. According to Lu Changfeng's prediction, this technique should not be a problem for him to reach the Martial Master Realm. Now that we have reached the peak of the martial arts realm, we must start preparing for a breakthrough.
The requirements for breaking through from the martial master realm to the martial master realm are quite special. It's not that this breakthrough is less important than others. Every breakthrough by a warrior to a major realm is important, and the conditions for breaking through to the Martial Master realm are even more stringent. Because the martial master realm has the generation of spiritual awareness, spiritual awareness has a great effect on warriors. In order to gain a keen sense of spirituality, it is necessary to comprehend the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth when making a breakthrough. Lu Changfeng waited for more than half a month, and finally waited for a good time.
Early this morning, the sun was rising on the highest point of the mountain behind the college. The purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth is produced at the moment when the sun rises every morning. It is best when there is not a single cloud in the sky, and there is no obstruction in the warrior's sight, and there is no artificial noise in the hearing. At this time, these conditions were met, he felt refreshed, and Lu Changfeng's mind was clear.
Lu Changfeng sat cross-legged, his mind united, comprehending the creation, change and demise of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his mind became clear. His heart is open and his eyes are clear, and he can see the subtle things. This is a good sign, and Lu Changfeng is secretly happy. If he can successfully break through in this trip, his strength will be qualitatively improved. Not only can he gain a firm foothold in the academy, but entering the inner courtyard will naturally not be a problem. By then, high-level elixirs such as red fire elixirs will not be at hand.
Lu Changfeng kneaded the magic formula with his hands, circulated the pulseless breath, and performed the boundless sea technique. The pure spiritual energy all over his body suddenly poured into the body like a sea tide, and then followed the meridians to run in the body smoothly.
The key to breaking through the ninth realm of the mortal body is to use spiritual power to break down the barriers of the current realm so that the spiritual energy can travel to more meridians. Legend has it that when all the meridians in the body are connected, that is the Dzogchen realm of the God of War. However, this was far away from Lu Changfeng and was not something he needed to consider. For now, he only needed to open up the two entrances.
Lu Changfeng silently recited the formula and used pure spiritual energy to attack the barrier of the martial arts master. At the critical moment, he inadvertently recalled in his mind the night when Yunyinmen was massacred. His brothers and uncles fell one after another, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed into rivers... The scene turned, and the pirate leader Chang Hao was a bloody mess. The earth appeared in front of us, and Tian Guzi roared silently in his ears...
"Poof", Lu Changfeng spurted out a mouthful of blood, his breath was broken, and he showed signs of being possessed. Fortunately, his medical skills were still there, and he hurriedly sealed the meridians and stopped the flow of spiritual energy. This breakthrough ended in failure. I have to wait for the same opportunity, I don’t know when.
Cultivation is a life-threatening game. Lu Changfeng's failure to break through this time caused damage to his meridians, and it took him five full days to recover. Although he failed, he could still accept that breaking through the situation could not always be smooth. The reason why he failed this time was because his thoughts were wandering at the critical moment. He must not be distracted next time. So Lu Changfeng adjusted his mentality and waited for the opportunity.
The second chance came twenty days later, and just like the last time, Lu Changfeng almost succeeded. But at the critical moment, a bird just happened to fly by, and the bird droppings fell on Lu Changfeng's head, causing all his previous efforts to be wasted at the critical moment. Fortunately, there were no injuries this time.
It's impossible for people to carry it like this all the time. Lu Changfeng didn't back down and waited for another chance. The third time, there was no random thinking and no external interference. However, when success was approaching, Lu Changfeng became so excited that he became angry. This time he was seriously injured and had to lie down for half a month. Even the food was fed by Zhou Hua and the others.
If there is a third time, there will be a fourth time. There was no accident the fourth time, but Lu Changfeng gave up at the most critical moment. Because I failed the first three times, I lacked confidence this time, worried about gains and losses, and then forgot how to exercise my strength. Of course, I failed. There was no injury this time because he didn't move at the critical moment.
After failing four times in two months, Lu Changfeng finally understood what his master had said. In the past, it was not difficult for warriors to reach the Martial Master Realm. Depending on their respective qualifications and opportunities, it was only a matter of time to reach it. From a martial artist to a martial master, it is not just hard work. If hard work is effective, the world will be full of warrior gods.
Lu Changfeng even suspected that he was not suitable for cultivation at all. I was born with no pulse, so why not just be a salty fish? You have to forcefully pretend to change your fate against the will of heaven, and create some kind of self-made technique with a body that has no pulse. In the end, he couldn't even break through to the Martial Master Realm. You must know that many geniuses pass through in one go.
If you cannot overcome your inner demons, you will never achieve a breakthrough. Only by overcoming yourself can you have the opportunity to step into a higher realm and have the qualifications to challenge others. Zhang Chao suggested that Lu Changfeng give up the breakthrough for the time being and instead do something unrelated to cultivation, in order to dilute the anxiety caused by the failure of the breakthrough.
"Why don't you give up?" Lu Changfeng sat at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking wine. Anyway, he is now a wealthy person. This money is enough to drink alcohol every day until he dies of old age, and he even has enough money for a coffin. But when he thought about the unavenged revenge of his master and his wife, and the uncertainty about the life and death of his senior sister, Lu Changfeng slapped himself twice.
"What? Failed again?" Zhou Hua came over and asked.
Lu Changfeng smiled bitterly.
Zhou Hua patted Lu Changfeng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. This matter cannot be rushed. The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to break through. Instructor Zhang Chao once said that in the journey of cultivation, three points depend on qualifications, and three points depend on qualifications. One point depends on hard work, three points depends on mentality, and the last point depends on luck. You just have a bad mentality now, so your work is in vain."
Lu Changfeng nodded, Zhou Hua said it was okay, and he also knew this truth. But as for the issue of mentality, knowing the cause may not necessarily lead to adjustment. Just like the gamblers in the casino, they must know that nine times out of ten they bet, they will lose. They just can't control themselves, but they think that they are the lucky ones and may win. In the same way, Lu Changfeng knew that it was difficult to break through his current mentality, but he still couldn't help but want to try again and again. What if he succeeded?
Zhou Hua continued: "If you ask me, you should relax now. Why don't I take you to eat some meat, hehe!"
Longhu on the side immediately became alert: "What are you doing? Where are you taking him?"
"Eh? You want to come together! That's great. I'll treat you. We brothers should share the blessings." Zhou Hua smiled obscenely.
"No!" Longhu said in a low voice with a dark face, "Dafeng, you can't go with him, it's definitely not a good place. They city dwellers... play... have a lot of fun."
Zhou Hua chuckled and said, "Hey, how do you know this? Have you ever played with it?"
Longhu's dark face turned red, and he stammered: "How is that possible? I just... heard it."
Seeing Longhu's embarrassed look, Lu Changfeng couldn't bear to let Zhou Hua tease this honest man anymore, so he patted Zhou Hua and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Tell me, where are you going?"
Zhou Hua led the two of them to the bulletin board and pointed at the bulletin board: "Look!"
