The next day, in Yixiu's courtyard.
"Little Yuan, in fact, any cultivation is a process of going from low to high and gradually becoming stronger. At this time, the way to decide how far you can go depends on how strong your foundation is.”Ikkyu said to Zhou Yuan.
"To put it simply, it means that the lower level of the building determines the cultivation of the upper level.”Zhou Yuan said.
"Amitabha. Little Yuan, you're quite intelligent. That's why I won't teach you any powerful spells at the beginning. I'll only teach you a set of fist techniques to temper your qi and blood. When your qi and blood are strong enough, you can learn more advanced spells!”Ikyu said.
"Understood, Master." Zhou Yuan nodded.
"Yes." Ikyu nodded.
"Oh right, Master, I wonder how the cultivation realms are divided?!”Zhou Yuan asked.
" I'll explain it to you. The first step of cultivation is to practice basic fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques, and so on. It's to strengthen the body and fill the Qi and blood. Then, you'll practice the mental cultivation method internally and transport the overflowing Qi and blood to the acupoints. This first level is divided into six small realms: Heart Aperture, Eye Aperture, Nose Aperture, Ear Aperture, Mouth Aperture, and finally, Dragon Gate Leap. It takes about 100 days to open the Heart Aperture, which is commonly known as 100-day Foundation Establishment. Only when the Heart Aperture is opened can one truly step into the ranks of cultivators."
"Then how long will it take to master the first step?”Zhou Yuan asked.
" That depends on talent. If someone is not talented, they will never be able to open a single skill in their entire life. If they are talented, they will be able to open an aperture in one or two years without external help. They will reach the realm of jumping through the Dragon Gate in four or five years. Those who are talented and intelligent will also need one or two years to cross the Dragon Gate. Of course, in all sects, there are pills to assist in cultivation. Moreover, the various cultivation methods are different, so the speed of accumulation of Qi and blood is different. This is just a rough estimate.”
"After crossing the Dragon Gate, you will become a Second Stage True Master, and your dantian will be able to generate true qi. Once the zhenqi had accumulated enough, it would flow upstream along the spine and open up seven dantians in turn. They were called dragon tail, dragon claw, dragon body, dragon palm, dragon neck, dragon head, and dragon horn.”
"Once the dantian is fully opened and connected into one, forming a giant true qi dragon, you can enter the third grade and become a monk in the Buddhist realm.”
" At this moment, the true qi has transformed into a dragon-shaped true qi river, forming true liquid. The spiritual power has transformed into a bronze color. This is the time to divide it. The spiritual power of the Taoist masters who cultivate the path of spells will be more powerful, and the physical body of those who cultivate the path of the physical body will only be stronger.”
"Alright, I'll stop here for now. After all, this is enough for you to cultivate.”Ikyu said.
"Then what realm has Master reached?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"This Penniless Monk's talent isn't considered good. Up until now, he's only a third-grade monk.”Ikyu said.
"Alright, Little Yuan, I'll teach you the Arhat Fist now.”One Rest took off his coat and started to perform a fist dance in the courtyard. Although it was a simple Arhat Fist, he was able to beat it up so fiercely that even the weeds on the ground did not dare to raise their heads due to the force of his fist.
"Congratulations, host, for acquiring Arhat Fist.”
Ikyo searched for information about Arhat Fist in his mind.
[Arhat Fist: A basic beginner fist technique, but it seems to contain some oddities.]
Zhou Yuan was stunned. Arhat Fist was a set of basic fist techniques that everyone knew. How could there be something strange about it?!
"It can be completed by spending 100 merit points.”
"Little Yuan, have you learned it?" After Ikkyu finished practicing Arhat Fist, he saw Zhou Yuan in a daze. He wondered if he was too fast and Zhou Yuan could not keep up.
"Come, Little Yuan, I'll teach you one move at a time.”Ikkyu said to Zhou Yuan.
"There's no need, Master. I've learned it.”Zhou Yuan hurriedly said.
"I've learned it."
"Arhat Fist, Level 1."
After spending 100 merit points, a stream of knowledge entered Zhou Yuan's mind. At the same time, a warm current began to circulate in his body.
"Is that so? You want to fight? I'll correct you." Ikyu said.
"Yes, Master." Zhou Yuan nodded and walked to the middle, starting to practice Arhat Fist.
This was the knowledge that the system had just transferred into his mind. The warm current was the force that he had learned from the Level 1 Arhat Fist.
After Zhou Yuan practiced it again and again, he went from being unfamiliar to being skilled. Slowly, he could execute the Arhat Fist with great proficiency, just like how others practiced it for 3 or 4 months.
"Yes, Little Yuan, there are no mistakes in your Arhat Fist. It's perfect. Just practice like this. When you feel that your strength is as strong as a bull and you can release your strength about one meter away, you will be able to open your Heart Aperture.”Ikkyu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Yes, Master!" Zhou Yuan pressed his palms together and said.
"Alright, I have to go recite the scriptures. You can practice slowly. Remember not to be greedy. If you feel uncomfortable, stop. Don't hurt your foundation.”Ikkyu warned.
After saying that, he returned to his room to knock on the wooden fish and recite the scriptures.
Zhou Yuan stayed here to continue practicing Arhat Fist and train his body. Only with great strength could he protect himself in this chaotic world.
Just as Zhou Yuan had performed Arhat Fist over 20 times, the system suddenly gave him a notification.
"Arhat Fist, Level 2."
"System, can I level up if I practice?”Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked.
"Of course, practice makes perfect. After all, reading a book a hundred times will reveal its true meaning, host.”
"If you want to upgrade your cultivation technique, other than directly exchanging merit points, you can also go through this kind of long-term training. However, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is..."
"I see." Zhou Yuan nodded.
The Level 2 Arhat Fist increased the strength in Zhou Yuan's body. A warm current flowed to his heart, and he felt that his heartbeat was stronger. Other than that, there were no other changes. It was indeed worthy of being an entry-level fist technique.
With this force, Zhou Yuan, who was already exhausted, persisted in practicing Arhat Fist for another 10 times before going to rest.
In the afternoon, Yixiu brought Zhou Yuan to a nearby forest to cut firewood. With a chopper in hand, Zhou Yuan channeled his inner force into his hands. With a slash, a small tree the size of an arm was cut down by Zhou Yuan.
"You've already formed force?" Ikkyu was shocked when he saw it.
"Yes, Master. Is there a problem?”Zhou Yuan asked doubtfully.
"No problem, very good." Ikyu smiled as he sighed at Zhou Yuan's talent.
The master and disciple carried the trees and returned to the courtyard. Zhou Yuan prepared to chop these trees into wood.
Ikkaku wanted to do it himself, but Zhou Yuan told him to go back and train his arm. Ikaku felt comforted and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder before returning to the house to continue chanting.
Zhou Yuan was not joking. Buddhist techniques were closely related to the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the more powerful the Buddhist techniques would be.
"Little Yuan, you're back for dinner." Ikkyu walked out of the door and called out to Zhou Yuan, who was still chopping wood.
"Yes, Master." After Zhou Yuan chopped the tree into wood, he wiped his sweat and threw away the chopper. He then returned to his room to eat.
The next day, Zhou Yuan practiced the Arhat Fist by himself for another 20 rounds.
"Arhat Fist, Level 3."
The force in his body increased a little, and he could clearly feel a warm current flowing into his heart.
This kind of thing where one could see the results of one's hard work was the easiest to stimulate a person's ambition.
Taking advantage of this momentum, Zhou Yuan performed Arhat Fist 40 times.
"Arhat Fist, Level 4."
Zhou Yuan nodded. As expected of the saying, the higher the realm, the harder it was to advance. This time, he had to fight 40 times before he could advance.
"Zhou Yuan."
"Jiale?"
"Come to my place to eat. I've prepared the food.”Jiale said with a smile.
"Sure," Zhou Yuan nodded.
It was not easy for Jiale to be alone. He often had to take care of himself, and occasionally, he would follow Four-Eyed to hunt corpses. He was not very talented, and he had only opened his Heart Aperture, Eye Aperture, Nose Aperture, Ear Aperture, and Mouth Aperture, let alone the Dragon Gate.
Ikkyu didn't stop Zhou Yuan. He smiled as he watched Zhou Yuan go to the next room, even though there was already food on the table.
"Zhou Yuan, I caught two fish today. Hurry up and eat.”Jiale said with a smile.
"Jiale, I'm a monk now, so I can't eat meat. You can eat, I'll just eat some vegetables and tofu.”Zhou Yuan said.
"Oh, alright then." Jiale also knew that this was a rule and did not say anything.
Looking at Jiale's oily mouth, how could Zhou Yuan not want to eat meat? But the problem was that he was now a monk!
They had to have professional ethics and ethics.
After the meal, Zhou Yuan took a nap and continued practicing Arhat Fist in the afternoon.
This time, Zhou Yuan played it a total of 50 times.
"Arhat Fist, Level 5."
This time, it was different. It could be said that a lot of force appeared in his body, making Zhou Yuan feel uncomfortable. He quickly practiced Arhat Fist again. Zhou Yuan could feel that the warm current in his heart was almost full and he was ready to jump through the Dragon Gate.
This time, the Arhat Fist was extremely powerful. With Little Grass beside Zhou Yuan, he was unable to lift his head.
" Force can be released?!" Zhou Yuan looked at his hand and felt that he was able to control the force.
He hurriedly placed a piece of wood upright and tried to test the extent of his force.
"Hey." Zhou Yuan punched out, but the wood did not budge at all.
One meter was not enough.
" Heh." Zhou Yuan punched out, but the wood did not budge at all.
0.75 Rice is not good.
" Heh." Zhou Yuan punched out, but the wood did not budge. No, the wood was shattered.
Hmm, about 0.5 meters, not far from the distance set by his master.
Zhou Yuan thought happily. This Arhat Fist was indeed an entry-level fist technique. It was easy to learn, and he reached level 5 in two days.
However, wasn't it said that talented people would only jump through the dragon gate after one or two years? Why did it feel like he had achieved it in three or four days?!
In fact, if not for the blessing of the Buddha's talent, how could Zhou Yuan have raised Arhat Fist to Level 5 so quickly and accumulated his qi and blood so quickly?
During dinner, Zhou Yuan suddenly said to Ikyu,""Master, I can now release my force.”
"Oh." Ikkyu nodded and continued eating.
Suddenly, Ikyu stopped and said to Zhou Yuan in shock,"Little Yuan, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Can you repeat yourself?”
"I can now release force!”Zhou Yuan said.
"Pa." Ikkyu's chopsticks fell to the ground.
