"Baptism to improve eyesight" sounds powerful, but in fact it is just a formality in a prepared formation. The formation is not complicated, and people without talent will have no idea when passing through the formation. Therefore, even if Nan Guozhong had an impromptu idea, it would not be difficult for Qi Lian Tang to prepare a test and baptism.
What is really difficult is to achieve the effect of baptism and enlightenment - to open one's eyes to see the breath and breathe out the breath.
Only after being able to achieve this step will they be sent to the Qi Refining Hall to learn from the "master" how to accumulate Qi in the meridians and cultivate the body and Qi.
For "Nan Botu" who has been able to "see Qi", it is inevitable that he has talent. Baptism is just an introductory step for him to completely uncover the half-hidden mystery of "qi" and allow him to personally come into contact with the core "energy" of the world.
Ling Yao walked back and forth in this formation without feeling any discomfort. But when he looked around, he saw that the entire Qi Refining Hall was filled with a thin layer of smoke.
Then he finally fixed his gaze on the two old men who were looking at him intently, and saw a faint red light on Nan Guoxian, who originally seemed normal.
It seems to have been successful. Originally, he could only see the extremely high concentration of Qi during the casting process, but now he can directly see the Qi used by the Qi practitioner to protect himself. but……
In the future, when he sees people who have practiced qi, they will all walk around like this with 800-watt lanterns! Then if all the people from this Qi Refining Hall come one day, wouldn’t it be a celebration of the New Year with lanterns and colorful decorations? !
Blind his eyes!
Seeing Ling Yao frowning slightly, Nan Guozhong, who didn't know that Ling Yao was thinking about running a train at the moment, became a little nervous:
"How's it going? Is there any discomfort? If you fail, you fail. It's not a big deal..."
As he said this, he couldn't hide the slight disappointment in his tone.
However, Nan Guoxian saw Ling Yao's changing expression and interrupted Nan Guozhong's words in time:
"Did you see something?"
Ling Yao hesitated for a moment and muttered:
"...Third Grandpa, you look...like...a red light bulb?"
Nan Guozhong and Nan Guoxian:? ? ? How do you speak?
Finally, it was Nan Guoxian who reacted:
"Okay. It seems like it's done. The more bizarre the things you see after opening your eyes, the more it means you have high talent... He is indeed a good prospect. What a pity, if it had been twenty years earlier... no, ten years earlier..."
Although Nan Guoxian did not explain clearly, the other two people present certainly understood what he meant. If "Nan Bo Tu" had not been lost, but had been baptized to improve eyesight before the age of six like other Nan family juniors, he could have entered the Qi Refining Hall to practice with Nan Guoxian early, and the Nan family would have gained a Qi Refining master now. .
To be able to make Nan Guozhong sigh with such regret also shows that with the talent of "Nan Botu", he could have cultivated to at least a level similar to his - enough to protect the Nan family for another fifty years.
Nan Guozhong also shook his head. I didn't try my best to find this child at the beginning, but one mistake caused me to suffer a huge loss!
But what Ling Yao regrets is not this. Compared to growing up in the Nan family, having to be bound by family concepts and power struggles, and eventually being trampled under the feet of the "protagonist" according to the routine without any surprise, he prefers his current identity.
Even if the Nan family really becomes the "cannon fodder" to set off the protagonist, he still has his own way of survival outside.
What a pity for him is that his current body is obviously talented in "cultivating" the power system of this world, but he has wasted nearly twenty years in vain because of his "ignorance"! It's like holding a mobile phone with complete hardware, but because there is no operating system installed, you can't do anything, and you think the phone is broken - it's so crazy!
"well--"
The three of them sighed together.
Although the two brothers Nan Guo Zhong Nan Guoxian are not optimistic about Ling Yao's future achievements in Qi refining, Ling Yao feels that it is better to be twenty years late than to never know anything for a lifetime. His mentality is very good and he still pesters Nan Guo. Xian taught him some basic cultivation methods.
Anyway, help me install the operating system first.jpg
It would also be nice to be able to make a phone call after installing it!
Moreover, he originally did not intend to compete with the protagonist by relying on Qi refining alone. After all, the "miraculous doctor flow" is originally very satisfying because of being "invincible". If he tried to catch up with the protagonist's cultivation, he would probably end up as "a cannon fodder villain who is unforgettable but obsessed too deeply, is overrun with jealousy and resorts to other ways to frame the protagonist, and finally becomes obsessed with quick success and quick gains and is killed by the protagonist's justice." .
Tsk tsk, under the "teaching" of the Tucao servants, he now knows the tricks very well!
...There is nothing to be happy about at all! Knowing the routine is of no use! He's still a "villain"!
In short, if Lin Tianyu is destined to become his enemy, then what he has to do is to understand the enemy's characteristics, find the enemy's weaknesses, overturn the enemy's layout, and disintegrate the enemy's power.
Didn't Lin Tianyu obtain power and status that ordinary people cannot surpass by relying on special qi refining methods and mysterious medical skills that combine qi? So, if he could make Lin Tianyu's Qi refining method no longer special and his medical skills no longer mysterious; everyone could imitate him and everyone could surpass him...
Can the protagonist's "golden finger" still make him so arrogant?
Didn't he choose to study medicine just to explore the structure of the human body in this world and whether there was a "core strength" that could be cultivated?
Although he gave up on the idea for a while. But now, it's time to get back to where we started.
…
The Nan family has lush branches and luxuriant leaves. On weekdays, there is more separation and less gathering. But on New Year’s Eve, everyone will definitely be present.
From greetings to window decorations; from cleaning to dinner preparation. No matter how turbulent the situation is on weekdays, in front of the old man, everyone in the Nan family must pretend to be harmonious, and they indeed look like brothers and sisters, full of liveliness.
...Except for the fact that he returned to his old house on February 9th, "Nan Bo Tu" did not appear once until 6pm on the 30th.
Nan Bohong's mental journey went from "Did he chat with the old man happily for a long time and the old man admired him very much?" to "Why did they talk for so long? Could it be business matters or bad words about other people?" "The old man showed up alone but he hasn't come out yet. Did they have a quarrel and the old man was so angry that he detained him?" and finally, "It's almost the New Year's Eve dinner and he didn't show up. Wouldn't he have been killed and silenced by the old man? After all, we are a family. Should I persuade grandpa?"
Finally, after the whole family had served the table, everyone saw the old man clapping his chopsticks with a dark face and saying something to the bodyguard behind him. Ten minutes later, the bodyguard dragged out a gray-faced "Namboto" with bloodshot eyes out of nowhere and threw it in front of the old man.
Everyone looked at Nan Guozhong as quietly as quails, fearing that they would be implicated when the old man was angry. On the contrary, the person involved, "Nan Botu", glanced at the clock with a confused face, and then said with a sudden realization:
"Ah! It turns out it's already evening!"
Then, before Nan Guozhong could speak, he stood up, patted his butt, and walked around the big table with his hands clasped:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll punish myself with a drink to make amends for everyone. Please leave me alone. It's delicious and delicious. It's delicious and delicious."
Of course, no one else present would blame Ling Yao. They wished that the descendants of Nan Shaofeng had offended the old man so that they could gloat and watch the show. But when Ling Yao touched the wine glass and finished drinking, Nan Guozhong didn't say anything more except for a straight face, and everyone knew that the show could not be watched.
Nan Shaofeng just glanced at Ling Yao, showing no emotion; but Nan Bohong was obviously relieved.
Of course, some of them are unwilling to do so. When Ling Yao was about to take a seat, he saw his sister-in-law, who was sitting opposite him, arching her son's arm with her elbow, hinting at something with her eyes. The child frowned and asked:
"Fourth uncle, why are you going to play? Why don't you take us with you..."
Children may not understand the twists and turns in the words, but adults can understand them all.
This is taking advantage of Nan Guozhong's connivance with his eldest grandson, deliberately emphasizing that "Nan Botu" is a fun-loving and disrespectful person, and may even teach bad children.
Even though Nan Guozhong didn't say anything ugly now, he might get angry if someone provokes him?
There was no loss to their family.
However, Ling Yao didn't seem to understand what he was saying. He sat down generously, squinted his eyes and smiled:
"Of course I'm playing with medicine-related things, using human models to identify organ and acupuncture points, looking at image data to determine diseases - and so on. Are you interested? If you are interested, my fourth uncle will take you to play with me in the future? Studying medicine is fun. , I can take care of my family after I learn it, and my family will be safe, healthy and live a long life in the future, how great would it be?"
"Botu! Xuan Xuanzhi is not here. He will study economics and management in the future."
Sister-in-law Li Wen couldn't sit still now and immediately interrupted Ling Yao's words.
Just kidding, his son will inherit the family business and manage the company in the future, how could he be abducted by this man who is not doing his job to study medicine!
"Sister-in-law, you can't be so stubborn. Children's hobbies change so quickly. Who knows what Wenxuan will like when he grows up? Of course, what kind of work you want to do in the future must be liked by Wenxuan, so that it will be easier to achieve something. Achievements. Whether he studies medicine or business, our elders can't force him to plan for him. Isn't that right, Wenxuan? "
"Um!"
Compared to his overly domineering parents, Nan Wenxuan still likes his fourth uncle who has a smile on his face and can talk things out right. After hearing this and thinking about his own words, he didn't care what his mother was thinking and just nodded repeatedly.
Li Wen was so angry that she grabbed her clothes. It didn't arouse the old man, but it almost cost his son.
"Okay. Let's talk about the rest later. You should also be more careful. It doesn't matter how you play outside. Don't let the whole family wait for you alone."
Nanbo Expo came forward in time, which finally brought this episode to a conclusion.
Ling Yao humbly said yes, but secretly rolled his eyes: Although it seems that his sister-in-law is inciting his son to cause trouble for him, in fact, there is no hint and support from his eldest brother, at the gathering of the Nan family, which is still a traditional family. , as an "outsider", how could the sister-in-law dare to stumble him in front of so many people?
Men, if you dare to do something you don’t want to do, it’s very unpleasant to have women and children take the blame for him.
That's why he doesn't like to go back to Nan's family - a wealthy family, and the house is restless. You can have a house fight over any meal, aren't you tired?
But thanks to the commotion between Nan Expo and his family before the meal, everyone saw the old man's attitude clearly. Throughout the entire New Year's Eve dinner that followed, there might have been intrigues among other people, but in the end no one without a good eye got into trouble with Ling Yao.
Ling Yao had enough to eat and drink from this meal. He had almost finished the food. The children had already run away. A group of middle-aged uncles and nearly middle-aged uncles were drinking and bragging at the table. He was not afraid of being disliked by others and patting him on the butt. Just leave.
Nan Guoxian gave him several books on the basic exercises and theories of Qi refining. Before he could read them, Nan Guozhong pulled him out to eat. Now he naturally had to go back and read them.
Seeing his unconventional and anxious look, the old man just thought that he was entering the Qi Refining School for the first time and was so excited that he didn't stop him after all. Nan Shaofeng was not close to this son in the first place, and he felt guilty, let alone preaching to Ling Yao. On the contrary, Nan Bohong couldn't keep calm after all, and slipped out and said a few words to Ling Yao, "There is a turbulent undercurrent in the Nan family, so you must be careful in everything you do."
Whether the other party was worried that he would get into trouble, or worried that he would also be implicated, Ling Yao finally responded one by one, and finally threw out the news about Lin Tianyu and the hospital's upcoming medical reform, leaving Nanbo Hongron troubled. Only then did he successfully escape and return to the Qi Refining Hall.
"I only come back once a year. Why are you here with me if you don't want to hang out with them?"
Nan Guoxian had just finished dinner. He was sitting on the couch making tea and looking askance at Ling Yao.
"Although the Qi Lian Tang's books are not loaned out, you are still a Nan family member. You can see them anytime you come back in the future. Why are you anxious?"
That's true, but in theory, what Ling Yao wants to do is actually inconsistent with the interests of the Nan family.
If the Nan family knew about his "plot" to popularize "Qi", Qi Lian Tang would most likely shut him out completely. So before they knew their purpose, Ling Yao would definitely try his best to collect as much information as possible from the Nan family.
But of course Ling Yao would not say it directly:
"I can't get along. They don't want to see me even if I think about it. I'm a doctor and I'm extremely busy. I don't have much chance of coming back. Of course I have to hurry up."
This is actually true. But these words still didn't sound good to Nan Guoxian's ears. He raised his face and said loudly:
"The descendants of the Nan family have the talent of refining qi, so why should they study medicine! What's more, they can only go to their own hospital, but they go to the poor city hospital to see people's faces and be sent for work! Isn't it a shame!"
This was said with arrogance and full of prejudice. If it were someone else, he would either start a quarrel or just swallow it in anger. However, Ling Yao felt uncomfortable with such a person. He just spread his hands and responded with a playful smile:
"Come on, Third Grandpa. With my status, how can I not be determined by people's looks? I'm not short of money, so why should I suffer the consequences of being picky and finger-pointing by rich people?
"Besides, my brother may not be happy to see me go to find him. Don't make a fool of yourself and cause estrangement between our brothers. I don't want to get involved in their fights over the family property. I guess you don't care about it either. Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t be hiding in the Qi Refining Hall and not coming out to see anyone even on New Year’s Eve.”
He has seen all kinds of people, and he already knew how to deal with such people - telling him reasonable things such as people have their own ambitions, doctors are only as good as doctors, there is no high or low profession, the number one scholar in the thirty-six fields, etc. A person can't listen to a word he says; he can only shut up by saying what he wants, throwing the question back to the other person, or dragging it onto the other person.
For example, Ling Yao did not argue with Nan Guoxian about whether it was good to be a doctor, but said that he would not be much better off in the Nan family if he did not become a doctor; he also compared his situation and choices with those of the other party, which not only promoted the other party, but also made the other party say no. Speaking out words of criticism - after all, who would criticize him?
As for what I think in my heart, why should I explain it to unreasonable people? Just deal with relatives and save some energy in scolding.
As expected, Nan Guoxian stopped preaching. In addition to his talent in qi refining, he also relied on "not fighting" to live peacefully to this day. He could still stay in the main residence of the Nan family and enjoy the glory and wealth. He really had no right to oppose Ling Yao's choice.
Finally, Ling Yao's words saved him some face, so he naturally calmed down, casually gave Ling Yao a few more words, and went to the training ground outside again.
After Ling Yao finished reading the last book, he finally had a basic understanding of the power system of this world.
The "Qi" of this world is also often called "Zhen Qi", which can be equated with the spiritual power of the great world.
The inside can strengthen the body and nourish the meridians, and the outside can be gathered into shape and used for offense and defense.
But unlike the cultivation methods of the great world of Mang Sheng, the Qi practitioners in this world seem to focus more on tempering the body with Qi, infusing energy into the physical body, and then using fists and feet as weapons.
This is a bit like the "physical cultivation" that is regarded as heretical here, and it is also the "external cultivation" of this world as complained by the servants.
The books Ling Yao is looking through now, in addition to the concept of true energy and methods of sensing true energy, most of them are also about this "external cultivation" method.
The cultivation method used by Lin Tianyu, which is the protagonist's "golden finger", is a unique "inner cultivation" system that can freely release and retract the true energy. It is more like the method that Ling Yao used to use spiritual energy before.
So it turns out that the original operating system is incompatible.jpg
Naturally, the methods of grading the realms of internal and external cultivation are different, but generally speaking, they are still divided into ten levels from entry level to extraordinary creation. The author of the book he read simply and roughly divided it into grades nine to one - it didn't sound like they were cultivators, but rather officials.
Ling Yao silently recited the contents of the book again, then said goodbye to Nan Guoxian and everyone in the Nan family outside, and prepared to practice again after returning home.
At this time, he was somewhat grateful for the memorization skills he had acquired while studying hard, which saved him from the trouble of being questioned and suspicious while practicing at the Nan family.
Maybe the protagonist has to go home for the New Year holiday, or the "author" really can't write the family interaction of family reunion, so he had to cut off the recent scenes related to the protagonist. In short, Ling Yao's life was quite comfortable throughout the first month of the year.
The thought of not meeting Lin Tianyu, who made his blood pressure soar, for at least a month. Even Wu Zifan, a future student who used various excuses to "harass" him every day and talked in roundabout ways, became cute in Ling Yao's eyes. stand up(?).
But Ling Yao knew that this kind of comfort was only temporary. Because the next thing is: spring is here and everything revives. The animals have arrived again in the savannah...ahem!
Anyway, the protagonist will start causing trouble right away.
However, before the protagonist started to cause trouble, the Nan family found a job for him first——
"Botu, Mr. Zhou's seventieth birthday is tomorrow. Bozhan is going to discuss business. Bohong and I will go there as guests. You can come too. That old guy Zhou Qihua is old and in poor health, but he still refuses. Seeing Western medicine and drinking all those random folk remedies are useless! Don’t you happen to be a student of Western medicine? Come here to persuade him and take a look at him by the way!"
Ling Yao:? This year is over, why is there still a banquet waiting for him where he can embarrassingly show off his specialty in front of relatives and friends!
