Chapter 1: Lin Xuan
"Alas!"
Disappointed sighs came from an ordinary looking teenager, his face filled with a wooden expression, he had failed again, this was already the forty-ninth failed attempt at punching the barrier in the past three months, even if Lin Xuan had a tough mind, at this moment, he was surrounded by frustration and despair.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of the teenager's mouth, shaking his head and looking at his hands, could his qualifications really be this bad?
Lin Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his nails had dug deep into his flesh, but it was as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
Lin Xuan was seventeen years old this year, and had been worshipping under the Piaoyun Valley for three years.
Piuyun Valley, a small sect in the cultivation world, had nearly a thousand disciples, and Lin Xuan was one of the lower-ranked disciples.
In three years time, the senior brothers and sisters who had entered at the same time as him had long since entered the middle stage of spirit movement, and a few with outstanding qualifications had even entered the late stage of the fifth layer, but he was still wandering around in the first layer.
Progress so slow, not Lin Xuan is not hard enough, on the contrary, his efforts in the low level disciples second to none, others will practice the gong method once, he practiced three times, others meditate for an hour, he will be three hours, but such hard work, but the harvest is pitifully small, far from being left behind by everyone, Lin Xuan heart is filled with a sense of frustration.
Cultivation is divided into eight stages: spirit movement, foundation building, dan condensation, yuan ying, clutch, hole xuan, dividing the gods, and robbery, and each stage is divided into seven layers, with the first two layers as the early stage, the third and fourth layers as the middle stage, the fifth and sixth layers as the late stage, and the seventh layer is known as the great circle, and as long as it breaks through the bottleneck, it will be able to move on to the next stage.
Although the immortal way is difficult, but also from shallow to deep, for example, the first two layers of the spirit movement stage of the gongfu, are just belong to the introduction, the first layer of good qualifications can be practiced in two months, the qualifications of the poorer, three to five months can be handled, but, unfortunately, this is all refers to the spiritual roots of the people.
Spiritual roots, is a kind of cultivation world called, specifically refers to what things, tens of thousands of years, there is no exact description, only know that have spiritual roots, in the cultivation of the speed to be far faster than no spiritual roots of the ordinary people, that is to say, theoretically speaking, ordinary qualifications of mortals is not unable to cultivate, just twice the effort... No, it should be to pay ten times the effort, is not as good as half of the gains of the other people.
To put it simply, it's just a lot of work.
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan is an ordinary person without spiritual roots.
Originally, ordinary people with no spiritual roots like him, even if they wanted to embark on the path of immortal cultivation, there would not be any sects willing to take them in, but Lin Xuan's situation was rather special, three years ago, because of chance and coincidence, he saved a seriously injured elder of Piuyun Valley, and the other party was grateful, and introduced him into the door, and became a member of the Piuyun Valley, which was a small sect of cultivation.
Three years of summer and winter, Lin Xuan cultivation has never slacked off, winter practice three nine, summer practice three volts, pay much more sweat than others, but even so, still far from the same door left behind.
In the pursuit of the Immortal Way, qualifications are more important, and it's hard to make up for it just by relying on hard work!
Just like the recent rush, Lin Xuan felt that his power had already reached the apex of the first layer, and was just a little bit short of the second layer of the Spiritual Dynamic Stage, but these slight gaps were like a huge chasm, and no matter how hard Lin Xuan tried, he couldn't cross over.
After a long time, Lin Xuan loosened his clenched fists, took a breath, as if to drive out the depression in his heart, sat down on his knees again, and performed the method of internal vision⋯⋯.
Internal vision is a small spell in the world of cultivation, you can see the operation of the spiritual energy in your own body in the dantian and meridians, belonging to the cultivation of an auxiliary spell will only be used.
Only to see a void in the dantian, the only thing that exists, is a trace of light green color gas, this is the legendary spiritual power.
But the gas was not much, very thin, this was due to Lin Xuan's relatively low power.
The so-called cultivation, that is, against the heavens, and want to go against the heavens, you have to have great magical powers, which have to go through all sorts of hard work, in order to harness the five elements, absorbing heaven and earth aura, refining, and finally for their own use.
This trace of spiritual energy, is Lin Xuan three years of cultivation income, of course, compared with the same door, much less, because there is no spiritual root, his cultivation path is far more arduous than the same door.
Under the effect of divine sense, that trace of spiritual energy began to gather, entangled together, originally each trace of spiritual energy, only hair thick, but with the passage of time, but gathered into about a small thumb thick a spiritual energy.
Lin Xuan's head was covered in white gas, his body was drenched in sweat, just the process of gathering spiritual energy had made him do his best, ordinary people cultivating the truth, it was true that every step was a thorn in the side.
He was breathing heavily, but Lin Xuan's face didn't change at all, over the past three years, he had long gotten used to it.
After the spiritual energy was gathered, Lin Xuan's expression didn't relax in the slightest, he carefully released his divine sense, and according to the heart method taught by his master, he controlled the spiritual energy to flow out of the dantian, and into the meridians.
For cultivators, the dantian was the root of storing spiritual energy, and the eight meridians were also very important locations, when spiritual energy ran in the eight meridians in a circle from head to toe, it was known as a circumference.
And every time such a cycle was done, the spiritual energy would be enhanced a little bit, although minuscule, but small amounts add up to a lot, and by doing such a cycle a few times a day, the spiritual energy would gradually grow up as well.
Of course, there are thousands of gong methods in the cultivation world, and every sect has a different path for doing the Grand Perimeter Cycle, and the effects are also very different.
The Great Peripatetic Cycle, although it was a must for every cultivator, yet it was not as easy as the outside world imagined, and could even be said to be difficult.
The route of the flow of spiritual energy didn't need to be worried about, it was already clearly stated in the master's heart method, just follow it, however the speed of the flow needed to be felt out by oneself, for no other reason than the fact that each person's meridians were different.
Some people's meridians are strong and have a high tolerance, not only can they hold more spiritual energy, but they also have no problem flowing faster, some people's meridians are weaker, and the situation is the complete opposite, in general, the better the spiritual root, the stronger the meridians will be, and vice versa.
Lin Xuan was just an ordinary person, he didn't even have a spiritual root, so he needed to put in more effort and consume more time to do the Great Peripatetic Circulation.
With every step, he had to be careful, if he went faster, not only would he not be able to complete the cycle successfully, he would instead damage his meridians.
