Very reasonable cultivation

At dawn, golden light shone through the crevices of the mountains in the distant sky, and the energy of all things in the world showed their original unique forms like blooming flowers.

Tian Zhen's hair stood on end in the golden light, his body still savoring the cold and loneliness of a night. The warmth of the sun wanted to melt it without any hesitation. Between the cold and the heat, the mind acted as a fulcrum of balance, prying the proportion of the two before they formed a complete balance point. This was one of the simple ways to practice Qi.

He did not stop practicing until the sun was high in the sky and he could already feel the heat. However, Tian Zhen was no longer in a hurry. He had discovered a trick. He only needed to use his own Qi to collect enough supporting properties of the universe at night, and during the day, under the outward manifestation of the sun, he could refine it into his own Qi. Heat expands and cold contracts, and this cycle repeats continuously. The more Qi he collected, the more supporting properties of the universe he could collect, and the more Qi he could refine during the day with the help of the sun.

This is an exponential growth, similar to the growth process of plants. Isn't this what the ancients called absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon?

"Hahaha! That's all!" With blisters all over his face, Tian Zhen laughed heartily towards the sky.

As time went by day after day, Tian Zhen went from only being able to practice for one morning to gradually being able to practice for the whole day. If it were not for the end of the fasting period, Tian Zhen felt that he could be planted on the mountain like a tree.

Now, he's full of energy. Even after a month without sleep, he still feels strong and healthy. His physical fitness has surpassed his previous self by several blocks. His hearing and eyesight are sharp, he can stand on one hand, jump over two meters high, and do dozens of somersaults without even breathing. As a Qi cultivator, his sense of balance is extremely precise, making parkour in the mountains a breeze. As a Qi cultivator, he understands balance.

Although there was a bottleneck in the process, it was easily resolved. According to the cultivator's method, the reason was that the mind hindered the efficiency of refining essence into qi. He changed his mind and used qi as a fulcrum to practice qi into spirit, and then he could lie down and practice again.

As a mortal, he was naturally excited when he discovered the secret of cultivation and wanted to find someone to share it with.

So, after listening to a little, the eldest brother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Stop! Junior brother, please stop talking. Different paths can easily confuse people. In the future, try not to discuss Taoism with others. It's easy to cause karma. Wait until you become a master and open your own lineage. When you have a disciple, you can talk about it first."

"But...!" Tian Zhen was about to say that all paths lead to the same destination, but his senior brother glared at him and he was stopped in his tracks. He felt indescribably uncomfortable.

It took a long time for him to let go of his mentality of walking in brocade clothes at night. He figured it out. Tao is the eye through which every cultivator sees the world. He couldn't just poke it out and replace it with his own high-tech artificial eye. After all, his original one was better to use. After letting go and growing up, he began to concentrate on practicing.

The next day, Tian Zhen was lying on a huge rock basking in the sun, reading a book he had found from his master, "The Art of Controlling Objects".

The whole article is full of profound truths, but I guess few people would understand them. Tian Zhen read it word by word several times before translating it based on his own understanding.

His understanding was much simpler, like the force created by the difference in balance between the scales. However, this was not something that could be mastered simply by understanding the principle. It was like the balance of a wooden stick on a finger; it required practice.

After thinking for a while, he decided to take out a piece of dry grass. Compared with objects like stones, they belong to the difficult mode. Not only is there the force generated between the silicon-based molecules of the stone, but there is also the force generated from the earth.

So he chose a relatively lighter and more brittle material.

First you have to be aware of its existence.

People's perception of the outside world is nothing more than the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and skin. What affects the outside world is the heat generated by the balanced resonance of the body's qi.

The key to controlling things lies in mastering the balance of your body's qi, not simply making the surrounding molecules and atoms resonate with your body, which is to say, heating and cooling to 37 degrees. After all, what does the qi produced by the average person's body have to do with your brain?

But Tian Zhen knows how to balance.

Raising his hands, which were the part of his body most closely connected to his mind, and feeling the balance in his hands, Tian Zhen began the second step.

To be honest, it is difficult to establish a certain degree of sensory connection with things outside of your body, but it is also simple.

Put the dried grass directly into the palm of your hand, pick it up and warm it up until you can no longer feel its coolness, then pick it up with your index finger and thumb, and feel the difference in the external air through it. After all, only with differences can people perceive the outside world, and now we have to perceive it through it.

This is the simplest way to establish a connection with things outside of your body. The hardest part is, of course, to avoid physical contact, but you still have to eat one bite at a time.

After trying this over and over again for hundreds of times, and after about three days, Tian Zhen finally felt the clear balance between the grass stem and the external energy. Holding the deformed grass stem, Tian Zhen almost developed a habit of cross-eyed.

Suppressing the joy in my heart, I began the most important third step: generating motivation.

Of all the various types of Qi in the human body, only strength expresses itself as a force. Hey, isn't this the force generated by muscle contraction?

Isn't it shallow? What is Qi? It is balance. What is force? The expression of Qi is the force generated by the tilt of the balance. Although this is a metaphor, the essence remains the same.

When the muscles relax and relax, the balance of qi does not disappear instantly. It also requires a process of deceleration. Without that relaxation, you will know what it means to refuse to let go.

And how to use this thing that has been called strength since ancient times? The same old saying goes, balance.

Press your palms on the boulder and apply force. You can clearly feel the balance point between the force and the energy of the boulder.

When a person throws a stone in his hand, he relies on the strength to swing the joints of his hand to generate inertia. Then the strength and inertia are connected, and the person can roughly understand the direction of inertia and the force.

What is inertia? It is the balance between the universe and its creation.

Strength and inertia plus the object's qi form a balanced triangle relationship, just like essence, energy and spirit.

The process of trial and error may seem boring, but it is actually very interesting, just like using your index finger to hold up a wooden stick and keep it balanced. He remembers that he loved playing this game when he was a child and often competed with his friends in endurance.

Tian Zhen was holding the piece of grass stem and walking around all day long. Until the night in the cave, in the flickering firelight, the piece of grass stem he was holding seemed to be pulled by something, and it flew out of his hand and went straight into the fire. It gradually started to spark and disappeared without a trace.

Coming back to his senses from the feeling just now, he realized that he seemed to have succeeded. With his excited heart and trembling hands, he put a new piece of grass stem into the palm of his hand. After brewing for a moment, the grass stem trembled for a moment and then floated up swayingly. Although it fell back into the palm of his hand in less than a breath, Tian Zhen couldn't help dancing with joy while holding the grass stem, and made strange noises of "Oh~Oh~Oh" from his mouth from time to time.

This moment was very similar to the scene when an ape-man in ancient times successfully lit fire for the first time by drilling wood together.
