Chapter 14 14. Xinyiquan

time flies.

The blood-nourishing pill was quickly digested and absorbed by Xu Qing. The medicinal power penetrated his whole body, continuously strengthening his physique and qi and blood.

After opening his eyes, Xu Qing looked up at the sky and immediately shouted "Oh no!"

It felt like I had just closed my eyes not long ago, but when I opened my eyes, the sun was already at its zenith.

Dinner should have been served for some time at this hour. If he goes too late, there won't be any share for him after the dining hall is cleaned up.

Think of this.

Xu Qing quickly stood up and ran to the dining hall.

When we arrived at the dining hall.

Most of the people inside had already left, and there didn't seem to be much food left on the long table. They were all teenagers with amazing appetites.

Xu Qing glanced around.

I found that Fatty Li was still eating, with a few dishes of meat and a bowl of white rice in front of him.

Xu Qing sat down next to Fatty Li and ate from the bowl of white rice without any hesitation.

Fatty Li didn't get annoyed when he saw this, and pushed the food in front of him to Xu Qing: "I saw that you didn't come here, so I saved some for you."

"Thank you." Xu Qing said vaguely while chewing rice.

Fatty Li rolled his eyes.

"Can we talk after we finish eating?"

"But why are you so late today? Usually when it's time for dinner, you're more excited than anyone else."

"I was immersed in cultivation." Xu Qing swallowed everything in his mouth, "I forgot about time for a moment."

"You finally realize that time is running out. I asked you to practice hard."

In the Taoist Temple, Fatty Li and Xu Qing were the closest.

Firstly, he couldn't get along with other people who came from poor families and were too weak or too self-respecting. Secondly, he couldn't get along with those who came from wealthy families.

Only Xu Qing was most to his liking, so they had a close relationship.

Over the past month, he watched Xu Qing spend a lot of time reading Taoist scriptures and learning to read in addition to his morning and evening homework.

Not like him at all. Except for eating, sleeping and working, he is always working hard on his practice.

With his background and talent, he works so hard.

Why are you so leisurely?

So Fatty Li looked at Xu Qing with an expression like an old father who was disappointed with his son.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Qing said in his usual perfunctory tone.

When Fatty Li heard the tone, he knew that Xu Qing was just trying to fool him again. He snorted and continued:

"Let me tell you, Xu Qing, I am now more and more confident that I will be the first to complete the foundation building."

"Before, I would feel a little drowsy after meditating for a long time, but now I no longer feel drowsy. I can condense 48 mouthfuls of nectar stably every day."

"If you don't work hard, I will become a formal disciple and you will still be a Taoist child. The difference in our status will be huge."

Hearing this, Xu Qing paused in his eating and had a strange expression on his face.

"What's that look on your face? Don't you believe me?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Then why do you look like that?"

"Is it possible that someone is faster than you?" Xu Qing asked him because Fatty Li had saved him food today.

"How could he be faster than me? Who are you talking about? Chen Ziming? Jiang Xianyue? Or Zhao Yinxi?"

Chen Ziming, Jiang Xianyue and Zhao Yinxi are among the disciples in this group who have cultivated at a faster speed, and their popularity is on par with Fatty Li.

Xu Qing shook his head and pointed at himself.

Fatty Li looked at Xu Qing in astonishment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you? How is it possible that you can be faster than me at this level?"

"If you complete the foundation building faster than me, I can eat this table!"

Xu Qing shrugged.

You said this yourself, don't blame me when the time comes.

After dinner.

Xu Qing continued to practice.

But this time I didn’t sit down and meditate on the Six Dings and Six Jias.

Seven out of ten points of success are eating, and three points are practicing.

The blood-nourishing pill he swallowed this morning had spread to his internal organs and limbs, but some of the medicinal power had not yet been fully absorbed by his body.

These require practice to be further stimulated.

The body-refining method that Xu Qing learned includes two types of exercises: static and dynamic. The static exercise is to cultivate health by taking medicine, while the dynamic exercise is to cultivate the body by walking in a standing posture.

The combination of the two constitutes a complete practice.

The boxing method recorded in the exercises is a kind of Xinyiquan, which is subdivided into standing practice and fighting techniques.

Practice to strengthen the body, fight to protect yourself, and when you reach a certain level, you will be better than ordinary people even if you are weaker than other warriors of the same level.

The Taoist tradition of Yuanfu Temple belongs to the Fulu School. Although it also emphasizes the mutual cultivation of nature and life, it places more emphasis on nature. Therefore, in terms of life cultivation, especially the stage of physical training, what is emphasized is nourishment rather than seeking strength.

Before practicing standing meditation.

Xu Qing carefully felt the power hidden in his muscles. Although he hadn't gotten the hang of it yet, he felt like he could easily knock down a tiger with one punch.

Of course, this is obviously an illusion.

An ordinary person has no chance of winning against a tiger with bare hands. To knock it down with one punch, one must be a martial artist of at least intermediate level.

He had only been practicing for about half a day, and his Qi and blood had not yet overflowed and filled any of the nine orifices. Compared with an entry-level martial artist, he still had a long way to go.

However, based on his training speed, I believe this process will not take too long.

Xu Qing's mind moved.

A picture of standing still suddenly appeared in my mind.

He followed the posture recorded in the picture, with his chest hunched and back straightened, his knees bent and squatting, his hands hanging down in a circle facing forward, his whole body presenting a strange posture similar to that of a crouching monkey.

This stance is called the squatting monkey stance.

As he got into the stance, Xu Qing suddenly felt the Qi in his liver and kidneys rising, while the Qi in his heart and lungs falling. The dragon and the tiger complemented each other, and his Qi and blood flourished.

The medicinal power that was originally hidden in the muscles, bones, skin and flesh was re-stimulated.

Waves of warmth swept through my body, and wherever they passed, the feeling of the fire illuminating my whole body reappeared.

Time passes bit by bit.

Sweat was oozing out of his forehead, back and chest, soaking his clothes.

However, Xu Qing's eyes remained focused. He seemed to be staring straight ahead, but in fact his mind was fixed on the ancestral orifice, and his thoughts followed the circulation of qi and blood in his body.

At the same time, carefully feel the little changes in your body.

There is no time to practice in the mountains.

Time flies, winter goes and spring comes, it is another spring.

At this time, more than a month had passed since Xu Qing started practicing the body refining method, and there were less than ten days left until the transmission ceremony.

At this time, some of the new batch of Taoist children began to complete their foundation building.

early morning.

The sun rises above the eastern mountain.

After the morning class, Fatty Li approached Chen Jingxin with a proud and nervous look on his face.

When Chen Jingxin saw Fatty Li, a sincere smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Li, have you completed your foundation building?"

Fatty Li was very excited when he heard this: "That's right, Senior Brother, I have completed the foundation building!"

"Not bad." Chen Jingxin nodded: "Completed the foundation building within two weeks, second-class mentality, and good talent."

"Junior Brother Li, you have a bright future ahead of you."

"whee."

Fatty Li felt a little embarrassed when Chen Jingxin praised him, but his mood was still very good.

"Brother, I heard that the first person to complete the foundation building will receive an extra reward in the temple? And he is also the eldest senior brother of our generation?"

Chen Jingxin smiled and said, "That's right."

"Then..." As soon as Fatty Li opened his mouth, he burst into laughter.

It doesn’t matter whether there is a prize or not, the main thing is that the title of Senior Brother sounds good.

"In that case." Fatty Li's eyes rolled around, "Brother, when will the reward be distributed?"

"The reward has been given out." Chen Jingxin glanced at the fat man, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

Fatty Li was at a loss for words after hearing what Chen Jingxin said: "Give it out? But I still..."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

Fatty Li was stunned in place, and finally realized——

He is not the first one to achieve foundation building!

How can it be? !
Fatty Li was full of doubts.

Who else can be faster than him?

Chen Ziming? Jiang Xianyue? Zhao Yinxi?

Their speed is comparable to his. Although he is ahead, there is no guarantee that they will not catch up.

"Brother, who will be the first to complete the foundation building? Chen Ziming, Jiang Xianyue, or Zhao Yinxi?"

Chen Jingxin shook his head: "Neither. They are indeed quite talented, but they are not the first to complete the foundation building."

"Neither?" Fatty Li was stunned.

Who else but them?
At this moment, Fatty Li suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xu Qing in the cafeteria more than a month ago.

No way.
"Brother." Fatty Li swallowed hard, "Could it be that Xu Qing is the first to complete the foundation building?"

"Yeah." Chen Jingxin said.

It really is!

Fatty Li gritted his teeth, feeling that he had been cheated.

OK!

Xu Qing, you bastard, you look like a lazy guy who works for three days and rests for two days, but you end up leaving everyone behind without making any noise!

It’s so irritating!
