Chapter 19 True Qi

"This young man, I think you have extraordinary roots, and you have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix..."

Before Li Banxian finished speaking, the young man in front of him had already run away.

Alas, the world is really going downhill, and people's hearts are not as good as before. I haven't finished speaking, why did you leave?

Li Banxian hasn't opened for more than ten days. People nowadays are poor, smart, and stingy. It is getting harder and harder to cheat.

After experiencing the beating of society, he deeply realized that Ergou is really a good boy. He respects teachers and is good at fooling people.

Just when he was thinking about the good things of Ergou in his heart, he saw Ergou walking towards his stall with a piece of pork in his hand.

Li Banxian quickly sat up straight, looking straight ahead, and looked very dignified.

"Master!"

"Hey, you are here!"

Li Banxian took the fat meat from Ergou calmly, without sadness or joy, indifferent and peaceful.

"How has your cultivation progress been recently?"

"I can sense the Qi!"

Er Gouzi was delighted, but Li Banxian was stunned for a moment before he remembered that there was indeed a concept of sensing the Qi in the technique.

However, he himself had not even been able to practice the entry level, and had always suspected that the technique was fake, so he did not pay much attention to the content behind it.

Now that Er Gouzi said that he had practiced to sense the Qi, he was still half-believing and half-doubting.

A fake technique invented by the predecessors, which he had practiced for several years and personally proved, could it be that this silly boy really practiced it?

"How did you sense the Qi? Tell me about it?"

"I had a dream last night, dreaming of getting married..."

"You don't need to talk about these details!"

Li Banxian was not interested in the spring dreams of those young people, so he got straight to the point.

"Just this morning when I woke up, I found that I could sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there were many small light spots floating in the air..."

Er Gouzi described all the spiritual energy he felt to his master.

Only the information related to the yellow gourd was omitted.

Li Banxian pulled his beard, falling into deep entanglement and self-doubt.

Perhaps he was too excited, and he didn't notice that dozens of his beards had been pulled out.

After a while, he calmed down and said calmly:

"Not bad, not bad!"

"But you still have to be modest and not complacent, and you must know that there are people who are better than you and there are heavens beyond you!"

Whether Er Gouzi said it was true or false, Li Banxian made up his mind to suppress it, otherwise it would be difficult to fool him in the future.

"This is a small stone, try to crush it."

Er Gouzi picked up the stone on the table, squeezed it with both hands, and used all his strength. His face flushed red, but the stone didn't move at all.

"Master, I can't crush it!"

Er Gouzi shook his head and gave up.

"So you have to work hard."

Li Banxian said, holding a fist-sized stone, rubbing it with both hands, and the stone was rubbed into powder.

Seeing Li Banxian's extraordinary power again, Er Gouzi showed envy and admiration on his face.

He didn't know how long he would have to practice to have the skills of his master.

"Don't be discouraged. As long as you can learn a little bit from me, it's not difficult to pass the exam to become a martial arts scholar."

"Disciple understands!"

Er Gouzi admired his master's skills more and more, and now he naturally listened to his master's teachings honestly.

"Master, I want to learn swordsmanship!"

He remembered that night when the black-clothed man raised his sword and fell, heads rolled, and blood splashed.

"Swordsmanship is crude, how can it compare to swords!"

"It's okay to teach you some swordsmanship."

Li Banxian took out a tattered book without a cover from somewhere, opened it, and copied from it.

He copied a whole page and gave it to Er Gouzi.

"If you want to learn kendo, you must start with the most basic sword moves."

"Take this back and practice a thousand times a day."

Er Gouzi took it and took a look. It said the basic sword style, the practice method and key points of "stabbing sword".

"Thank you, Master!"

"By the way, Master, I just bought one of these things at the market. The stall owner said it was Cistanche deserticola. Please confirm it."

Er Gouzi remembered another purpose of coming this time, but in order not to reveal the secret of the gourd, he only said that he bought it at the market.

Anyway, there were people coming and going in the market, and no one could find any clues.

"Hey! It's really Cistanche deserticola, strange!"

Li Banxian still had some knowledge. Of course, he could recognize that this thing was the Cistanche deserticola recorded in the book.

But this thing is only found in the desert, and it must be with a specific plant to survive.

Anchang County does not have a suitable growth environment for Cistanche deserticola.

He could only guess that it might have been trafficked from other places by a merchant.

"Master has been studying the medicinal properties recently. This Cistanche is just right, but we still need a jar of wine as a medicine."

Li Banxian found an excuse to take the Cistanche away.

According to the book, this thing is a great tonic. I will find that old lover to test the medicinal properties in a few days.

The two chatted for a long time, and Er Gouzi asked a lot of knowledge about medicinal materials.

According to Li Banxian, Cistanche is a tiger and wolf medicine, which is too strong and cannot be eaten too much at one time.

Until Er Gouzi said goodbye and left, the two had gained something and were all happy.

Before leaving, Er Gouzi also promised that he would remember to buy wine for the master next time.

Seeing Er Gouzi's back, Li Banxian began to fall into self-doubt again, and felt that the meat in his hand was not fragrant.

Er Gouzi was very happy to get the sword method, and he was in a good mood and spent money generously.

Someone was selling geese at the market, so he bought two big white geese, one male and one female.

Because there were a lot of weeds on the mountain, the chicken legs he planted also had a lot of leaves, which could also be used to feed the geese.

By next year, there should be a batch of goslings.

Geese eat grass, lay eggs, guard the house, eat big goose legs, feathers can be made into cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and even the feces in their stomachs can fertilize the fields.

In short, raising geese is from the inside out, and not a single hair will be wasted.

In addition, he generously bought a piece of pork to go back and eat meat.

However, for this kind of appetite, he still didn't want to buy fat, but was greedy and bought a large piece of ribs that no one wanted.

Back to Shekou Mountain, he first settled the big goose.

Then he set up the pot, cut the ribs into large pieces, poured some water, added some black salt, and simmered them on low heat for half an hour.

He was drooling when the meat was cooked. Now he took out a section of ribs. The meat had been stewed until it was boneless. He took a bite and the juice flowed, and his mouth was full of rich fragrance.

"It smells so good!"

After eating the meat on the ribs, he sucked out the rich soup from the bones, then chewed the bones and swallowed them all.

It was impossible to throw away the bones that were bought at such a high price.

This was also the reason why he bought geese to guard the house but was unwilling to raise a dog.

After eating this meal of meat, he found that he didn't seem to be so hungry so easily.

In the past, he had to eat four meals a day, but today he only ate three meals and didn't feel too hungry.

In this way, eating some meat can save a meal.

In the future, he can eat a meal every ten days or half a month.

It feels a bit extravagant, but you can't catch a wolf without risking your child. Practicing martial arts requires eating more meat to make faster progress.

Moreover, he can already sense spiritual energy. From now on, he will practice the first level of the nameless technique and consume more every day.

After practicing for several days, the vital energy generated by the visible and invisible in the body has been transformed into a tiny wisp of true qi.

The total amount of qi has become more than a hundred times less than before, but the quality is higher, more condensed, and more powerful.

When he transported this wisp of true qi to his arms, he could easily lift a two or three hundred kilograms of boulder.

After entering the first level of the technique, you can eat a lot of food during practice, and then generate the invisible from the visible, generate vital energy, and then transform it into true qi.

This method of practice has the slowest progress, which is slightly better than nothing.

In addition, you can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and directly transform it into true qi through the technique.

However, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin. After practicing for most of the day, you can't absorb a few spiritual light spots. The progress is also very slow, only slightly better than the first method.

Another method is to directly take food and medicinal materials rich in spiritual energy.

This method is the most efficient, but the food rich in spiritual energy is not much and expensive.

For example, ginseng can absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth and store it in the body. Therefore, the longer it grows, the more spiritual energy it contains.

Fortunately, Er Gouzi has a yellow gourd in his hand, which can increase the spiritual energy concentration of various items.

Otherwise, even if he has a fortune like Huang Laocai, he can't afford it.

In the following days, Er Gouzi practiced the first level of the technique every morning and evening. With the help of a large amount of spiritual food, he progressed quickly, and the wisp of true energy in the meridians gradually grew stronger.

At noon, he practiced the basic sword style given by the master 1,000 times.

In the spare time, he farmed, reclaimed wasteland, and fed geese.
