Very reasonable cultivation

A few days later, Tian Zhen went down the mountain to find Da Zhuang.

"Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, look." He flipped his palm and a piece of grass stem stopped steadily on the palm.

"Ha! Shitou, how did you do this? Why can't I do it?" Dazhuang picked up the piece of grass stem in Tian Zhen's hand and tried, but found that he couldn't do it.

"Hahaha, this requires attention." Tian Zhen looked proud. After listening to the advice of the eldest brother, he did not express his understanding. He only said a panacea, which was also what they often said to Tian Zhen.

However, Dazhuang was just in a momentary mood. After a while, he returned the dried grass to him and got up to go to the stove.

At first, Tian Zhen thought Da Zhuang was going to work as a blacksmith again. This was normal. He could see Da Zhuang working as a blacksmith every time he came.

However, seeing Da Zhuang walk to the stove and stretch out his right hand, he thought Da Zhuang needed help to pass a hammer. When he was looking around for a hammer, a dark shadow flew out from the pile of stones and landed directly in Da Zhuang's hand. He looked closely and saw that it was the hammer.

The grass stalks fell from his hands, and Tian Zhen was deeply shocked. After saying goodbye in a hurry, he quickly returned to the mountain, leaving Da Zhuang alone with a confused look on his face.

No matter how bad it is, it's just a short-term loss. It doesn't matter. Just be happy. It's not the first time I comfort myself anyway.

Cultivation is not boring. It is the kind of feeling that you will do whenever you feel a slight itch. It is like playing a game, where you are not good at it but love to play it, and always feel that you can come up with new tricks.

As time passed, Tian Zhen gradually understood everything, from straw, wooden sticks to stones, from clumsy to skilled, he could easily move objects that were almost as heavy as himself, and he also tried heavier objects, about the size of a three times three house. However, the sensitivity to Qi also takes time. It is possible, but not necessary.

He also found that dead objects with stable Qi could more easily sense the Qi within them and move, but he couldn't even move an ant with a living thing. Later he discovered that living things belonged to the type with variable Qi, just like a boiled noodle, and it was difficult to sense the changes in the Qi within them.

There's no way, but people can use chopsticks, just pick it up.

During this period, many artworks made of stones of various shapes appeared outside the place where Tian Zhen lived, and they all showed their own miraculous balance.

This was just something he put together on a whim, showing that Tian Zhen was also a cultivator who understood balance.

As the mind's understanding of the relationship between energy and force deepens, the basic forces acting on the body will produce a certain instinctive undisturbedness, just like when the body is injured, it will heal itself and tense its muscles against impending attacks.

Without any deliberate effort, the self-adaptive Qi and the external Qi will achieve a neutral balance, that is, a perfect balance, without any imbalance or force. This adaptation is like the balance a person maintains when standing or walking.

If you are more deliberate, you can even produce a force in the opposite direction, which is called rebound.

Of course, these are all limited, and it all depends on the balance between Tian Zhen's mind and energy. Just like playing on a seesaw, the limit depends on the length of the seesaw.

These naturally manifested abilities reminded him of a definition he knew in his previous life - biological force field.

Could it be that this is the first step to becoming Superman in the movies?

Flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, a body of steel, thinking of this, Tian Zhen instantly became energetic.

He could become stronger by basking in the sun. Although it was an active skill, it had its pros and cons. He couldn't just lie down and become stronger, but he could be aware of every bit of his growth and theoretically achieve unlimited strength.

As for the bottleneck, he even has difficulty in building a foundation and has been stuck in the bottleneck. Where does the bottleneck come from? It's like a bottle, it can only hold so much, then how can he become stronger.

Since Qi training cannot improve his ability, he should focus on his own steps. Ever since Tian Zhen learned that he had poor talent and that building a foundation was as difficult as climbing to the sky, he had already set a goal to develop inwards. The core of the problem was just one word: brew!

It means brewing wine, using the Qi of all things as grain to brew one's own Qi.

Since it is impossible to follow the traditional way of cultivating immortals in this world, then I will become a Qigong practitioner, a cultivator who specializes in practicing Qi.

By now, Tian Zhen no longer has the mentality of comparing himself with others. After all, how can a bicycle be compared with other people's sports cars? He should improve his own bicycle and install a rocket thruster or something.

Speak one word at a time and eat one bite at a time.

As time passed, another year and a half passed, and it has been more than two years since I came to the mountain.

But these two short years seemed like a trance. Tian Zhen had changed from an ordinary person. He suddenly realized the way of balance and embarked on the path of cultivation. He had become a true extraordinary person.

However, as he continued to practice, his perception of familiar things in the outside world became balanced, which made him feel empty and bored, as if he could predict the future without causing any emotional fluctuations in Tian Zhen.

He noticed something unusual in himself. It seemed that the sense of difference between himself and the changing energy of heaven and earth was gradually disappearing. He thought there was something wrong with his thinking, probably caused by working in isolation for a long time.

This made him understand some truths: stagnant water turns into flowers, and rotten things turn into mud.

It's like a pool of stagnant water, which may grow flowers and plants for a while, but after a while it will turn into mud and nothing will be left. The same is true for the path of immortal cultivation.

He seemed to have glimpsed the secret of life. Whether people can achieve immortality by constantly exchanging water, the body and consciousness are intersecting and non-parallel lines. The body can draw living water for longevity, while consciousness is the balance produced by cognitive information. It requires constant definition and learning to maintain a certain balance in the long term. Once it stops, it will fade away like stagnant water.

Oh, I'm thinking too much. It's not certain if it tastes like this.

I still have to find something else interesting to do. I can't just lie down and become strong. I'm like a tree planted on this mountain.

He went to ask his master for advice, and got from him the basic cultivation secrets such as alchemy, weapon refining, formations and talismans. There were many books, more than the books in the elementary school books in his previous life. Originally, the master asked him to take a look and choose the ones he liked, but Tian Zhen said that he wanted them all.

So, Tian Zhen returned to his residence with the books on the first floor, but opened the first book, which was a cultivation secret book called "Small Five Elements Brief".

甘！

He still had to rely on his own understanding to translate it. This was the drawback of reading from books; who knew what Hamlet he would come up with? He had also asked why they didn't use jade slips, but the master said their sect forbade the use of jade slips to record the key points of cultivation techniques. As for the reason, it seemed that a certain genius had used them before and something major had happened. The master didn't elaborate.

After reading it word by word, he found that it was about the concept and manifestation of the Five Elements. It talked about spring, summer, autumn and winter, east, south, west and north, humidity and heat, etc. However, Tian Zhen just couldn't understand what it was talking about.

Well, it still depends on your own understanding. Let’s start with gold, which is the first of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

ps: small talk

I remember playing marbles with my friends when I was a kid. We could use our own special techniques to shoot the glass marbles, and if we hit other people’s marbles, we would win the trophy (the marble that was hit).

I had a blast that day, watching my friends grab their marbles and try to shoot at mine, my mind racing with thoughts of how, what technique, what feeling I'd use to hit theirs next time. After my friend's shot missed, it was my turn. It was as if a stroke of luck had struck me, a sudden urge to hit. At that precise moment, almost without a second thought, I gave up on trying to shoot with my hand and simply kicked my slippered foot at my marble. It flew out with lightning speed, accurately hitting the marble three or four steps away. With a crisp snap, my friend's marble flew far away. I happily ran over to pick it up, immersed in the moment of glory I was about to brag about. However, when I came back, my friends hadn't mentioned it at all, and then they stopped playing with me. I don't know why. It was so uncomfortable, and the memory of it is still fresh.
