Alchemy

Chapter 11 Ren Tianxing

The pill lay quietly in the palm of Dingyang's hand, the size of a soybean, earthy yellow, with a smooth surface and a faint hint of herbal taste.

Liu Erxi showed a surprised expression: "Why haven't you eaten yet? I thought you had eaten it?"

Jiang Xiaowei was also surprised and said, "I always thought you had taken [Baicaowan]. Wow - so it's even more difficult for you to complete today's water-carrying task."

Looking at Ding Yang's puzzlement, several people explained it to him.

It turns out that although this [Baicaowan] is only the lowest-level pill of [Tiejianmen], it is not a martial arts elixir. It does not break through the bottleneck and refine the magical effect of refining gas, but it is also collected and refined by dozens of herbs. It can relax muscles and strengthen bones, derive strength, and Peiben Guyuan, but it is many times better than Danwan in the secular world.

Ding Yang looked at the pill for a while and gently put it in his mouth. The pill slid into his stomach along his throat, leaving a slight smell of medicine in his mouth.

He Ming and the other two stared at Ding Yang's face and observed. After waiting for a while, they found that Ding Yang's face was as usual and there was no change at all.

Liu Erxi couldn't help asking, "Ding Yang, how do you feel?"

Ding Yang shook his head, "I don't feel anything, brother, what should I feel?"

Liu Erxi saw Ding Yang shaking his head, and his face changed slightly and said, "[Baicaowan] is the most basic pill of [Iron Sword Gate]. After eating it, there will be a warm feeling in your stomach, just like a warm hand massaging your stomach. It's very comfortable."

He took a look at Ding Yang and asked hesitantly, "Ding Yang, do you really feel nothing?"

Ding Yang shook his head.

"Isn't there any warmth?" Shake your head.

"No hands massage?" Shake your head.

"No feeling comfortable?" Shake your head.

He Ming, Jiang Xiaowei and Liu Erxi's faces have changed a little, and they don't feel anything. Isn't Dantian unable to store true qi? If so, how to practice martial arts in the future?

He Ming said with a forced smile, "Ding Yang, maybe you are too tired today and don't feel it. It doesn't matter. When the [Baicao Pill] is released in half a year, you can feel it again."

All three of them had a bad feeling and were afraid that Ding Yang would not accept it. Out of concern for Ding Yang, they chose to hide it in silence and planned to slowly reveal it to Ding Yang in the future.

Ding Yang noticed their abnormal look. He did not make a sound, but his brain turned rapidly. Many unusual things flashed in his mind: his powerful inexplicable appearance, inexplicable disappearance, the missing [blood dragon], Zhang Dazhong's foot, Dantian's severe pain, the knife to kill Zhang Dazhong, sword The light spots that appeared on the wall, the unresponsive [Baicao Dan]... Sumbling these messy things together, Ding Yang came to a conclusion that he could not accept:

There may be something wrong with my Dantian, and I can't practice and store true qi.

Ding Yang's face suddenly turned pale. He looked up at Liu Erxi's eyes with difficulty and asked word by word:

"Brother, tell me the truth, isn't it... Is there something wrong with my Dantian who can't practice and store true qi?"

Liu Erxi's face also became very ugly. He hesitated for a long time and nodded heavily.

It's like a thunderbolt, splitting Ding Yang's doubts that have not been rational. Why did it suddenly dissipate with your strength from the age of three? Why is it painful once you are lucky? Why does [Baicao Wan] have no reaction in his body...

The source of these changes appeared in Ding Yang's mind: he saved Yan Tieyi, who was seriously injured, and Yan Tieyi's ferocious face in the cave. It was the next day that he woke up. Zhang Dazhong kicked himself in his Dantian...

Ding Yang grabbed his hair painfully, and his heart suddenly became chaotic.

He worked hard to find [Iron Sword Gate] and became a handyman disciple by bringing Cao Dayou. He was determined to cultivate a profound martial arts to avenge the sea of blood, but suddenly found that his Dantian could no longer practice and store true qi. The cruel reality suddenly shattered the confidence that had been supporting Ding Yang's revenge.

He Ming looked at Ding Yang's painful appearance and casually persuaded him, "Ding Yang, don't feel so uncomfortable. You will get better in the future. In fact, you don't have to worry. Even if you really can't practice true qi, you will finally reach [the marrow washing]?"

He just wanted to comfort Ding Yang, but Ding Yang suddenly jumped in front of him and grabbed He Ming's neck. His eyes stared like bells, and his eyes were full of blood. He shook hard and shouted:

"Really? Are you lying to me? There really is someone..."

Shaking his head desperately,

"It's impossible! Impossible! How can you not be able to practice and store true qi and get to [the marrow washing realm]? ......"

Liu Erxi and Jiang Xiaowei were scared by Ding Yang's appearance. They quickly came up and grabbed Ding Yang's arm and broke it hard. Only He Ming covered his neck and gasped.

Ding Yang pulled away and was much more sober. While admitting his mistake to He Ming, he urged He Ming to speak out quickly.

Liu Erxi and Jiang Xiaowei are not very clear about this. Both of them also sat aside and listened to He Ming's narrative:

"It is said that 80 years ago, Ren Tianxing, the son of an elder in [Iron Sword Gate], was found that Dantian could not cultivate and store true qi at the age of five. This Ren Tianxing was ridiculed by people. Because of the martial artists who can't store true qi from Dantian, practicing martial arts is twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, limited by qualifications, the highest can only stop [bone practice]. At that time, everyone, including the head of that generation of [Iron Sword Gate] and the elder, thought that he could only be a mediocre disciple of Iron Sword Gate.

"Who would have expected that Ren Tianxing was not discouraged, but after a long period of exploration, he had created a set of external practice methods that did not require Dantian to store true qi. And he is practicing without hindrance.

"Twenty years later, just as Ren Tianxing had been forgotten by people, Ren Tianxing suddenly appeared in the ten-year [Iron Sword Gate] disciple competition and defeated all his opponents. At this time, people were shocked to find that the person they thought was mediocre for life had become a top martial artist comparable to [the marrow washing realm].

"What's more surprising is that after the inspection of the head and several elders at that time, Ren Tianxing's Dantian still could not store Zhenqi. He was a complete foreign practitioner. So this person became a legend in [Iron Sword Gate].

Ding Yang asked eagerly, "Well... Brother, do you know what method Ren Tianxing uses to practice external work?"

He Ming sighed, "Oh! It is said that Ren Tianxing left a set of external practice methods at that time, but in the decades since then, no one has practiced this set of skills. Occasionally, there are people who can't accumulate energy in Dantian who want to practice according to Ren Tianxing's skills, and they can't stand the pain and suffering of that set of skills, so that set of skills are gradually faded by people. I forgot."

"But I've heard of several exercise methods, alas! What a cruel! Just listening to it makes people shudder.

"For example, at the beginning of the method of boiling strength, you have to carry the weight all day long, wear clothes filled with iron sand, and carry the weight from 30 catties, 50 catties and 100 catties. After the cloth can't support it, it is to build steel wrist guards, leg pads and other heavy objects, up to 500 catties. Walking, sitting and lying, day and night, even if you practice and sleep, you have to wear..."

"For example, to practice skin bones, you need to practice into copper iron bones. You need to hit the whole body with a thick wooden stick until a stick breaks on the body, and then replace it with an iron bar until the body can break the thick iron stick of the arm..."

"For example...

"In this process, it is also necessary to constantly soak and apply the whole body with rare elixirs, nourish the flesh and blood with medicinal power, and be reborn...

Liu Erxi and Jiang Xiaowei turned pale when they heard this, and it seemed that they were scared by such a cruel training method. Ding Yang secretly made up his mind that no matter how cruel it was, he must cultivate to become the strongest martial artist. Since Ren Tianxing can do it, he will definitely be able to do it himself. For myself, as long as there is such a glimmer of hope, I must try my best to fight for it.

Originally, after Ding Yang knew that his Dantian could not practice Zhenqi, he once thought of something in another porcelain bottle from Yan Tieyi.

He found a total of two porcelain bottles in Yan Tieyi's leather bag, one of which was given to Cao Dayou, and he had one left. He witnessed Cao Dayou's gaffe and attention after seeing the porcelain bottle. Although Cao Dayou's cultivation is not as good as [Bone Practice], he is a deacon in [Iron Sword Gate], one of the three sects. There is no doubt about his vision and insight. What can make him so out of his temper is definitely not ordinary.

Ding Yang originally believed that he could not store true qi in Dantian, and the door of martial arts was also closed to him. He planned to take the things in the porcelain bottle regardless of whether it was dangerous or not. A dead horse would be a living horse doctor, and he would die. Now that he heard that there are other ways to go, he put down this plan for the time being.

Thinking about the training method He Ming said, Ding Yang asked He Ming, "Brother, I don't know what we disciples should do if we want to buy some items from outside the mountain?"

Liu Erxi asked in surprise, "Why do you want to buy something, Dingyang?" Miscellaneous disciples can't go down the mountain casually. However, there are also ways. Every three days, there will be shops under the mountain to deliver vegetables, meat and so on to the mountain. He often buys things for his disciples on the mountain.

Ding Yang said happily, "That's great. When will the vegetable and meat be delivered again?

Liu Erxi thought for a second and said, "I should come again tomorrow."

Ding Yang asked again, "Are you familiar with the delivery man? Is there anything that is not allowed to bring it to the mountain?"

Liu Erxi said, "Every time they bring food, I count them into the warehouse. I am very familiar with their stew, and there is nothing that can't be brought to the mountain."

Ding Yang jumped up, found pen, ink and paper, wrote on the table, and handed it to Liu Erxi, "Brother, I may have to carry the water the day after tomorrow. If the food is delivered, you can ask them to bring these things to me when they come next time."
