Blue Silver Grass Strategy

During the three years, from the age of six to nine, his innate soul power was almost zero. He had been relying on the hoe-swinging style to strengthen his body, and occasionally accepting Ling Yi's hypnosis to enter a deep sleep to regulate his body. His body spontaneously performed instinctive training, and only then did he gain this hard-earned second-level soul power!

Of course, the food standards of the Ling and Zhang families have also improved over the years, and the addition of good tonic food such as ginseng chicken soup is also an important factor.

After making an appointment with Zhang Lei to inspect the old forest tomorrow, Ling Yi sent him out of his yard and turned back to his room.

He threw himself heavily onto the bed, without even taking off his shoes, and left his feet hanging over the edge of the bed. Ling Yi lay there, just quietly looking at the beams of the roof.

a long time.

Ling Yi just spat out two words from between his teeth: "MD——!"

It's a rare time for me to swear. This is the first time since I traveled through time and space and realized that I didn't have any cheat codes and that I had to start with a blank slate.

It was because Ling Yi discovered that because of his arrogance and carelessness, he had fallen into a state of cognitive barrier.

It turned out that in the "Basic Meditation Method", there was a sentence "the outside of the tip of the little finger". Ling Yi subconsciously understood it as the outside of the tip of the little finger, on the edge of the palm.

Because when he summoned his martial soul, the route of the soul power flow happened to be along this route on his little finger, which made Ling Yi more confident in his own judgment and cognition.

By the way, although Ling Yi didn't try to show himself off during these years, he always succeeded as long as he wanted to do something.

For example, the Ling family raises pheasants and rabbits, the Zhang family has a fish pond, and the Shanhai Village reclaims land...

Even though these things are not that great, Ling Yi still can't help but feel a bit arrogant in his heart.

Ling Yi never thought that he would make such a low-level mistake. Thinking about it now, he feels a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, he made a mistake similar to that of the illiterate Mei Chaofeng in Shooting the Condor.

The two of them understood the "Destroying Divine Claw" in the "Nine Yin Scriptures", which means "use five fingers to exert force, nothing can be broken, destroy the enemy's head like wearing away rotten soil", as inserting five fingers into the enemy's skull, and thought that this was necessary when practicing martial arts. They thus turned the superior martial arts into a hellish "Nine Yin White Bone Claw".

Ling Yi once laughed at this. As a disciple of Huang Yaoshi, one of the few academic masters in Jin Yong's novels, he could at least understand reading comprehension, even if he didn't know astronomy and geography and had to take the imperial examination, right?

Who would have thought that I would make the same mistake as those two idiots when I traveled to Douluo Continent, a place with a very low cultural literacy rate? If my book friends from my previous life knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at me for a whole year?

Fortunately, I am traveling alone, and no one else knows about this dark history. Otherwise, I would have to find a way to keep it secret - by Master Ling's inner monologue.

Thanks to book friends [Wen Xin Chun Feng], [Book Friends 20170415073356826] and [Book Friends 20200411110011695] for their monthly tickets, and thanks to book friend [The Light of Seven Stars] for his reward. Thank you all for your support and recognition. Thank you everyone! (ω)

Chapter 22 On the right track

After breaking through the obstacles of knowledge and understanding in his heart, Ling Yi did not gain any spiritual baptism, nor did his mental strength improve much.

At most, his mental strength is more active than before, and his beliefs are three points deeper. He is persistent in cultivation and life, and is open-minded in absorbing information from the outside world. He thinks twice before encountering anything, instead of denying it without thinking.

There is no way, or the foundation is too shallow, the three realms of "seeing oneself, seeing the world, and seeing all living beings" also require sufficient experience and strong enough mental strength to sublimate in "touching". Just like ordinary people in the previous life, even if a flash of inspiration came to figure out a math problem, the feeling of being helped by God is comfortable, but what will happen afterwards is still the same.

Although Ling Yi's mental strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, even stronger than some low-level soul masters, he has not reached the critical point after all. He can only keep this feeling and experience in his heart, and turn it into nourishment when he transforms from a cocoon into a butterfly in the future.

In addition, through Zhang Lei's description of his own cultivation, Ling Yi discovered another cognitive misunderstanding of his own.

That is, he had previously used his extraordinary mental power as the standard for other soul masters of the same age and level.

It should be noted that according to the analysis of some big names in the Douluo forum in the previous life, for soul master cultivation, unless it is a martial soul that specifically involves mental power, soul masters of other lines will have to reach the Soul King level before they will be exposed to the ten thousand year soul ring for the first time, as well as the mental shock of the residual soul after the death of a ten thousand year soul beast. Then, when they reach the Soul Sage level and can display the martial soul's true body, they will be able to initially use their own mental power. And only when they reach the Titled Douluo level can they truly control their own mental power, and with the soul power that has been upgraded to level ninety along the way, as well as the powerful mortal body nourished by the soul power, achieve the transformation of essence, energy, and spirit, and the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head!

As for the value and reliability of these analyses, Ling Yi will only know when he enters the Wuhun Academy and can browse the academy's library to verify the fantasies and realities of the two lives.

And now, for Ling Yi, at least he has broken through his own cognitive barriers, his mental power has become more agile, and he has a better understanding of meditation methods. He is more confident about the subsequent practice and improvement of meditation methods!

The long pass of Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning!

Murmuring something in his heart, Ling Yi gathered his thoughts, closed his eyes, breathed slowly, and calmed down. In an instant, he fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, a human figure that looked like a crystal sculpture appeared in Ling Yi's mind. The figure was generally similar to Ling Yi, and more than 90% of it was vivid, but some minor details appeared gray and blurry.

As Ling Yi outside breathed, the human-shaped crystal in his mind also breathed in and out, and those gray areas gradually began to become transparent.

I believe that it won’t be long before this crystal human figure will become completely clear and transparent, just like a mirror.

As he entered deep sleep, Ling Yi's brain, heartbeat, blood circulation, internal organs, etc. began to spontaneously make fine adjustments, entering an inexplicable state of coordination.

"Breathe—breathe—"

As his mouth and nose moved in and out, and his chest rose and fell, the spiritual energy from the outside world followed the airflow and silently entered Ling Yi's body. Not only his mouth and nose, but also every part of his body, there were dots of spiritual energy, slowly infiltrating and permeating, but the amount was very, very little.

These spiritual energies that are invisible to the naked eye are colorful when viewed from a microscopic perspective. As soon as they reached Ling Yi's sleeping body, they spontaneously flowed along passages of varying sizes and lengths.

There are twelve relatively spacious passages in this wandering circulation. Among the five-colored spiritual light spots, the white light spots remain in the lungs, the red light spots reach the heart and stay, and the black, yellow, and turquoise light spots go all the way down and reach the kidneys, spleen, and liver respectively.

When the various colored spiritual light spots merged into the corresponding internal organs, a mysterious breath quietly appeared, flowing along the twelve channels, eight wider channels, and countless small branches, nourishing every corner of the body.

The Shaoyin Heart Meridian of the Hand, which had become a little tight and stiff after an hour of practice, gradually regained its original flexibility and activity under the nourishment of this mysterious breath.

An hour later, the sky outside the window was tinged with bright red, which was shy and lovely.

The long black eyelashes moved slightly, and Ling Yi opened his eyes. His pair of black and white eyes were bright and sharp, completely unlike the confused state of an ordinary person when he just woke up.

With his eyelids slightly drooped, he calmed his mind and used his mental strength to reflect on himself. After careful sensing, Ling Yi discovered that not only had his previously exhausted mind recovered, but the 'Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin' on his right arm had also regained its vitality and was a little tougher than before the practice.

"Not bad~" Ling Yi's mouth curled up slightly and he nodded with satisfaction.

Obviously, the effect of the human body's self-hibernation and recovery in deep sleep has achieved what Ling Yi had expected at the beginning.

Ling Yi knew what this meant.

Next, every time he reached a critical point in his practice, he could enter a deep sleep on his own to restore his spirit and meridians, thereby greatly extending his daily practice time!

Although Ling Yi didn't know what the effect of soul power cultivation per unit time was for those genius soul masters (Douluo) who were born with full soul power, but if we only considered the daily soul power cultivation time, as long as Ling Yi wanted to, he should be able to surpass them.

After all, if we calculate based on the twenty-four hours in a day and exclude the necessary time for meals, going to the toilet, etc., Ling Yi can practice for more than ten hours a day by repeating this cycle of one hour of practice and one hour of deep sleep to recover!

As for those geniuses (Douluo) who were born with full soul power, at the age of six, not to mention whether their body meridians could withstand it, the exhaustion of their spirit and mental energy, and the decline in concentration were enough to reduce the time for their soul power training to a certain extent.

Is the process of cultivation as refreshing as described in some online articles, which can replace sleep, or is it boring, requires constant caution, and consumes energy? Ling Yiyong experienced it himself and got the answer - it is the second one.

Maybe it's the difference in the world system. Maybe in some worlds, the cultivation system there and its practice process can make people comfortable and addicted, but unfortunately, in the Douluo Continent where Ling Yi is now, the martial soul system is not like this.

For example, in the original novel, Oscar, who was born with full soul power, had little interest in cultivation and was often lazy; Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, was the apple of everyone's eye and had a ninth-level soul power. She was extremely outstanding in both her background and herself, but she still needed someone to supervise her cultivation; Xiao Wu, who was transformed from a 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit, was a transformed soul beast and had a blood feud with her mother, but she was still half-hearted in her cultivation...

For grassroots people like Ling Yi and Zhang Lei, even if they want to work hard to catch up, due to their own qualifications and humble families, they sometimes have to choose to combine work and rest to give their bodies and wallets a break.

Of course, that is the grassroots level in the current Douluo Continent’s inherent perception.

Ling Yi is cheating.

Ling Yi, who uses the plug-in himself, can not only activate the training accelerator for himself, but also bring Zhang Lei as the pendant with him, and make great strides forward on the path of martial arts together!

Chapter 23 The Magical Use of Spirit

The next day, early in the morning.

In the hot summer, even though it is still early, the air is still a bit hot.

There is an old forest in the north of Shanhai Village.

After having breakfast at home, Ling Yi and Zhang Lei, who greeted Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe respectively, each brought an iron birch slingshot, a cloth bag of polished stones, a sickle, flint, rope, dry food, etc., and followed by Ah Huang and Miaomiao, stepped into this place that many adults in the village stayed away from.

As soon as we entered the woods, we saw Ah Huang running around happily, looking very happy. Miao Miao, who usually looked aloof, also climbed up to a high branch of a big tree in a few leaps and climbed up to the top of the tree, looking down from above.

Because of the towering tree canopy above their heads, which blocked the increasingly hot sunlight, the temperature in this old forest was at least three to five degrees lower than outside. Ling Yi and his companion, who had just run over to meet them and had slight sweat on their foreheads, felt a lot refreshed.

A gust of wind blew through the forest, bringing greetings from the northern part of Douluo Continent to Ling Yi and Zhang Lei.

According to Ling Yi's inquiries from various sources, behind this forest that is more than twenty miles deep, there is a mountain range that stretches for who knows how far, and it seems to be connected to the "Frozen Forest" in the north of the [Tiandou Empire].

As for the "Far North" further north, that was unknown. It was obviously beyond the scope of knowledge of the people Ling Yi could currently contact.

Stepping into the woods, Ling Yi held a sickle in one hand and caught the wooden stick that Miaomiao pushed down from the branch above his head with the other hand. His expression was serious, relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.

Even though this is just the outermost part of the old forest, only seven or eight meters away from the place behind where the sun shines.

It is always a good idea to be cautious when you are in a complex forest environment.

The most unlucky guy in "The Star Change", the Immortal Emperor Niyang, was an eighth-level Xuanxian, a very powerful figure in the fairy world. He had obtained a great opportunity from the God Realm, but he was poisoned to death because he stepped on a poisonous insect from the God Realm.

What the hell is this?!

This is not only a matter of luck, but also a lack of care. As a time traveler, Ling Yi often takes this as a warning.

It can be said that the "unlucky guy" Niyang Immortal Emperor and the "sage" Li Changshou were both regarded by Ling Yi as beacons on the road of cultivation.

It’s just that one is a negative role model and the other is a positive role model.

Holding a black wooden stick that was about one meter and three meters long and as thick as a thumb, Ling Yi would occasionally push away the dead branches and leaves on his way forward, and sweep away some vines and weeds that were entangled and blocking his way.

This scene made Zhang Lei, who was a few steps behind, feel quite jealous.

Although, he also had a wooden stick in his hand that Meow Meow had just pushed down from a high branch of another big tree.

This one is a little thicker than the one in Ling Yi's hand, about the thickness of a small egg, nearly one and a half meters long, and is overall withered yellow in color, and not as good looking as Ling Yi's black one with a slight metallic luster.

"Ayi~"

Zhang Lei dodged Ling Yi in front of him and struck the wooden stick in his hand diagonally forward. He glanced at the stick in Ling Yi's hand and said, "Let's go to the Iron Birch Tree today. I also want to break off a branch of the Iron Birch..."

He looked down at the withered yellow stick in his hand and saw that it had two worm holes and a thin crack. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes:

"Look~" Zhang Lei raised the stick in his hand towards Ling Yi: "It has only been on the tree for a few days, and two holes have been eaten by insects--"

"Okay~" Ling Yi took a moment to glance at the stick Zhang Lei raised and nodded to him: "As long as it's the right size, it's fine-"

After saying this, Zhang Lei, with a smile on his face, adjusted his direction and walked towards the location of the "iron birch tree" in the old forest.

Along the way, Ling Yi was focused and always paid attention to any movement around him.

Thanks to the development of mental power in recent years, in addition to the great progress in mental strength, Ling Yi's five senses have also been greatly developed.

As long as he pays attention and senses, everything within a radius of dozens of meters will be reflected in his mind.

However, the farther away it is, the blurrier it becomes, and the closer it is to him, the clearer it becomes.

For example, right now, Ling Yi can easily sense the tracks of some insects and ants crawling in the grass several meters around him, and his ears automatically simulate the sound of "rustling".

There was also the sound of mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings at high frequencies; there were insects parasitic inside the tree trunks, sucking the sap from the trees...

Ling Yi could visualize these images in his mind without even using his eyes to see them.

This is the spiritual practice that Ling Yi imitated and copied based on the imagination in "Galaxy Emperor" from the many novels he read in his previous life. He spent several years relying on this world and his own talents and qualifications - the second stage of deep sleep!

Unfortunately, just like what is described in the novel, in deep sleep, you cannot move and must be absolutely quiet. If you move your body even a little, you will wake up.

To reach the third stage of exercise and enter deep sleep, Ling Yi only has some guesses at present, but he still has no way to enter.

……

After a while, Ling Yi and the others arrived at their destination.

This place was still in the outer area of ​​the old forest, but it was also several miles deep. The surrounding trees were taller, and the sunlight shining through the forest was much sparser than before.

An open space with a radius of about 30 meters suddenly appeared in the dense forest. In the center of the open space was a small dark tree about 12 or 13 meters high.

Compared to the surrounding trees that are all over 20 meters tall, this dark tree with a metallic sheen does look a bit small.

"Iron Birch" is a kind of soul power plant. The exact age is unknown. Anyway, I heard from my grandfather Ling Changqing that this tree grew here when his father, Ling Yi's great-grandfather Ling Xu, was young.

At that time, the tree was more than ten meters tall. After so many years, I'm afraid its height has not increased by even one meter.

As for the name "Iron Birch Tree", the villagers of Shanhai Village, which is remote, backward and isolated from the news, don't know how they got it. It seems that the older generation has already called it that. The old people who are still alive today can't figure out when it started, so it seems to be much older.

It’s not that no one has paid attention to this soul power plant. Compared to hunting soul rings of soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, this "iron birch tree" that grows honestly in the ground is much safer.

But unfortunately, there is currently no soul master in Shanhai Village who can transform this "Iron Birch Tree" into a soul ring.

Another thing is that this "iron birch" is so hard!

Several strong adult laborers chopped at the tree with axes and machetes for a long time. The blades of the axes and knives broke and their arms were sore, and they could only leave a few marks on the tree trunk.

In recent years, the villagers of Shanhai Village can only pick up some naturally fallen branches and make full use of them according to their size, length and shape. Even these fallen branches have the toughness comparable to ordinary iron tools and are not easily damaged by insects or worn out.

Faced with such a tough "iron birch tree", why did Ling Yi so casually agree to help Zhang Lei break off a branch?

Apparently, a life full of cheats is full of confidence!

For example, the iron birch stick in Ling Yi's hand was taken from a branch seven or eight meters above the ground when he climbed up the "iron birch tree" last year.

That time and that moment is just like this moment.

Zhang Lei was lucky. He came here specifically for this purpose today. Unlike before, he always came and went in a hurry. After spending a little time, he found a branch on a branch that was similar in size and length to the wooden stick in his hand.

Ling Yi raised his foot and pushed at the root of the tree. He immediately became like a nimble monkey. Using his hands and feet, he climbed up to the middle of the "Iron Birch Tree" in the blink of an eye and came to the branch he had aimed at before.
