Chapter 114: Cultivation

However, creatures like toads are poisonous. The poison glands on their backs penetrate deep into the body. If they are not handled properly, they will cause poisoning. The first-level monster is equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training, and the poison is even more severe. Qingyang has never handled the corpse of a monster, and he dare not take this risk with his own life. He can only wait for a chance to sell the monster to others.

After thinking for a while, Qingyang gathered his mind, suppressed his inner joy, took out a Qi-nourishing Pill and swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged on the temporary bed made of hay to practice.

The pill soon turned into a warm liquid flowing into the abdomen after entering the mouth. Qingyang sat cross-legged and practiced the Changsheng Jue. The medicinal power was gradually absorbed by the meridians of the whole body. After that, the medicinal power ran and transformed in the meridians. Part of it was used to nourish and strengthen the meridians and Dantian, and the other part was transformed into true qi and gathered in the Dantian, becoming Qingyang's cultivation.

For a cultivator, Dantian is equivalent to a lake that stores Qi, and the meridians have two functions. When cultivating, they are rivers that gather water into the lake, and when fighting, they are channels for irrigation and water extraction. When improving cultivation, it is not enough to just collect Qi into Dantian, but also to improve the capacity of Dantian and meridians accordingly.

Therefore, when cultivating, cultivators not only need to absorb and refine the spiritual energy and energy from the outside world into Qi, and then compress and condense it into higher-level energy, but also constantly use Qi to nourish and strengthen the meridians and Dantian, and improve their tolerance and capacity.

To give a simple example, compare Qi to natural gas and Dantian to a container for natural gas. When the cultivation is low, the natural gas may be just ordinary gas, so it can be contained in a plastic container, but the amount contained is relatively small, and it may be gone after burning for a while.

When your cultivation is improved to a certain level, the natural gas is also compressed into liquefied gas. At this time, if you still use plastic bags to store it, it will definitely burst. You must use steel cylinders to store it. The same size can hold a large amount, and it may not be burned out for many days.

The meridians are like pipelines connected to natural gas. The strength, size and thickness of the pipelines must match the level of true qi. Otherwise, no matter how much true qi you have in your bottle, it will be troublesome if the pipeline is too thin to supply it when you need to use it.

So as the strength increases, the true qi is compressed step by step, and the power of the same amount of explosion becomes greater and greater. At the same time, the meridians and dantian must grow synchronously, otherwise there will be problems. For example, if a low-level cultivator takes too high-level pills, if he is not careful, the meridians and dantian may explode and die because they cannot withstand a large amount of energy.

Because of this, cultivation is an extremely slow process and cannot be achieved overnight. Taking pills cannot be like eating. You can eat them casually regardless of the quantity and level. You must take them step by step and combine taking pills with daily cultivation to avoid the problem of unstable realm.

Occasionally, after taking natural materials and treasures that can quickly improve your cultivation, you must also have a period of digestion and accumulation after your cultivation has greatly improved, otherwise you are playing with your own life.

These things are all experiences in cultivation. Qingyang has just embarked on the road of cultivation and is still in a period of ignorance. However, as he grows older, his cultivation level increases, his experience becomes richer, and he comes into contact with more and more cultivators, he will slowly figure it out.

It took Qingyang five days to completely refine a nourishing qi pill. His cultivation level has increased a little, but he still stays at the fourth level of Kaimai Realm. According to Qingyang's estimation, the energy of this nourishing qi pill is about the same as that of a bottle of rain wine, but the rain wine is not easy to absorb, and more is wasted every time after drinking it, while the medicinal power of the pill is better preserved and the effect is much better than that of rain wine.

Teenagers are in the period of growth, and they recover quickly from injuries. In five days, Qingyang's body is almost healed. The wound on his back has already scabbed. Although it has not healed completely, it no longer affects his movements. As long as he does not do too strenuous exercise, there will be no problem.

If time permits, Qingyang doesn't mind staying here for a few more days to improve his cultivation level first. However, considering that the Immortal Knocking Conference would start in just over two months, Qingyang did not dare to stay here for too long, fearing that something would delay him on the way.

There were seven people on the way here, but he was the only one left when he came back. This road to immortal cultivation was really difficult. Qingyang sighed and packed up, erasing all the traces he left here, and then headed south to Kaiyuan Mansion.

The next evening, Qingyang returned to Kaiyuan Mansion City, found an inn, opened a good room, took a hot bath, and slept comfortably for a night. After a night, all the fatigue and discomfort accumulated over the past few days disappeared.

Thinking of the time when he started his invitation with Yu Laosan, Qingyang felt that he should go there and say hello to them. And the Jinsha Gang, it can be said that they didn't know each other until they fought. After the incident of the Tiger Gang, I don't know how it is now. I have to say something to them before leaving.

Yu Lao San once told Qing Yang that they, like many fishermen on the Jinsha River, would park their boats in a river bay west of Kaiyuan City when they were not out fishing. It was not far from where they sold fish last time, so it should be easy to find.

Qing Yang left the inn and bought some gifts on the street. Thinking that Yu Lao San had a six or seven-year-old daughter, he bought a candied haws and left the city with it, heading towards the river bay in the west.

After walking for more than half an hour, Qingyang finally came to the river bay that Yu Laosan mentioned. It is better to say that this place is a small lake connected to the Jinsha River than a river bay. It covers an area of ​​about dozens of acres. Usually, parking a boat here is equivalent to entering a natural shelter.

There are nearly a hundred fishing boats parked on the lake, some large and some small. Most of them are like Yu Laosan's boat, with a boat awning in the middle. Fishermen usually live on the boat and only get off the boat occasionally. So many boats gathered together are like a village floating on the lake.

Qingyang looked around the lake, but did not see Yu Laosan's boat. He had to ask a fisherwoman on a nearby boat where Yu Laosan's family lived. As a result, the fisherwoman stared at him and said that she did not know Yu Laosan. Then Qingyang asked the fishermen on several other boats, and they all said that they did not know Yu Laosan.

This is strange. Did Yu Laosan give him a fake address? This shouldn't be the case. At that time, Yu Lao San was so grateful to me that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to me. How could he use a fake address to deceive me? Could something have happened in the past few days?
