Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 5 Dream Butterfly
After traveling through time and space for so many years, Xu Yang had already figured out his golden finger.

If you want to develop skills, it's very simple, just one word - do it!

As long as you persevere and do one thing over the years, even if it is an insignificant thing, you can also develop skills, generate characteristics, and obtain the power to turn decay into magic.

But there are also requirements for doing this. You must complete all the links of a thing before you can "do" the thing. Only by accumulating in this way can you develop skills.

Taking breathing as an example, the two movements of "exhale" and "inhale" must be completed before one breath is completed.

Therefore, skills can be developed only by "doing", and there is no such thing as "not doing".

What is "not doing"?
Still take breathing as an example, breathing can generate skills, so if you don’t breathe, can you also generate skills?
Also, do not eat, do not drink water, do not sleep, do not practice, can this kind of opposite "not doing" behavior generate skills?
Obviously not.

Xu Yang can be sure of this. In order to avoid covering up the problem of his strong vitality and blood, he has not married for so many years. He even arranged for himself to spread a rumor that his lifeblood was injured, so that he would not marry a wife, have children, or even I have never even been to a prostitute with a half-open door.

In this way, for decades, I have not seen him practice any skills such as "not whoring".

Not even a skill like "abstinence".

Therefore, Xu Yang was sure that there was no way to develop skills by "not doing" such things.

You must actually do one thing, finish it, and accumulate it over time before it can be solidified into a skill on the attribute panel.

And there are requirements for doing this, not subjectively, if you think you have done it, then it must be done.

Taking martial arts as an example, when the memory just recovered, Xu Yang also thought about using the knowledge before time travel to cooperate with the attribute panel, such as "Tai Chi", "Military Boxing", "Broadcasting Gymnastics" and so on, to see if he could practice it. Some martial arts skills.

The result is nothing.

Xu Yang guessed that the reason was probably because the punch he punched was not systematic. In the system's judgment, the punch he punched was not a punch at all, so it naturally could not generate related skills.

Therefore, if Xu Yang wants to develop combat skills, he must do something that can actually increase his combat power, such as practicing a serious martial arts.

But Xu Yang can't do martial arts now!

There is no way, then you can only do some offensive and lethal things, such as throwing stones, you can generate "flying stones".

From this extension, flying knives, flying swords, and flying harpoons can also have some attack power and lethality.

But are these things better than warriors?

Xu Yang was not sure either.

After observation and testing, the skill characteristics generated by the attribute panel do have the power to turn decay into magic. Some of them can even be said to be magical powers, which are beyond the scope of the mundane.

Taking flying stones as an example, if Xu Yang's flying stone skills can generate a characteristic of "no false shots", then his flying stones will definitely hit the target 100% of the time, even if the opponent uses a peerless movement technique, Flying to the sky and escaping from the ground, he couldn't escape his "unprecedented" flying stones.

But it is one thing to be sure to hit, and another thing to cause damage after hitting. The specifics still depend on the effect of the skill characteristics.

Therefore, Xu Yang is not sure whether he can develop powerful skills and characteristics to deal with the various hidden dangers and threats that will follow.

After thinking about it for a long time, there is still no effective plan.

But Xu Yang was not in a hurry. Decades of forbearance and dormancy had honed his patience to a great extent. Although the current situation was a bit tricky, it hadn't reached a real life-and-death crisis, so he couldn't be thrown into chaos.

If you can’t figure it out, just let it go, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will always be a way.

With such a state of mind, Xu Yang ate a pot of river fresh porridge beautifully, and then went to sleep with his clothes on.

Sleep (tranquilization, health preservation, fitness, disease reduction, longevity)
Needless to say about the characteristics of sleep, calming the mind can calm the mind, affect the soul, and nourishing health can nourish the essence and affect the body, plus the effects of strengthening the body, reducing illness, and prolonging life, more than half of Xu Yang's current strong body It is developed by sleep, and the other half is due to diet.

Eat well, sleep well, and your body will naturally be healthy!
In addition to the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life, the sleep skill also has a hidden benefit, that is, sleep when you want to sleep, and sleep when you close your eyes, and you will never have the trouble of insomnia.

Xu Yang fell asleep with his clothes on, and his consciousness sank into a warm ocean. He vaguely saw tall buildings and busy traffic again, as if he had traveled back in time and returned to the modern city where life was full of money and wealth, and he had lived three o'clock again. On the front line, the boring life of a social animal.

Is it true or false, good or bad?
Xu Yang couldn't tell, he was half asleep and half awake, his dreams were turned upside down, and he sank into that psychedelic state.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, all the scenes disappeared and returned to darkness.

Afterwards, the darkness was pierced by the beating lights, the sound of water, the sound of wind, and the cry of the osprey, together with the familiar fishy smell, rushed into the senses, calling him back to reality after sleeping.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, propped up his body, sat for a while, and then called out the attribute panel that only he could see.

On the panel, in the skill bar, a line of text was slowly generated, with a little bit of golden light shining.

Dreaming (Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly)
Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?

Looking at the four-character characteristic shining with a little golden light, Xu Yang was stunned.

Xu Yang has only practiced one of the four characteristics so far, and that is the ability to swim like a duck to water.

As for the four-character character with light and shadow effects, it was the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair!
In addition, dreaming is not included in the "sleep" attribute column, but becomes an independent skill.

What does this mean?
It shows that it has the qualification to become a skill independently!

The potential is huge and the future is promising!
It doesn’t even need the future, now it has a dazzling four-character characteristic.

Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly?

what effect?
Xu Yang examined it carefully, and his expression changed accordingly, showing shock, weirdness, and joy.

After a while, he looked outside the cabin and looked at the already bright sky. Instead of going out to fish, he lay back on the bed and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

……

The darkness is like a tide, and it is bright in an instant.

In a certain valley, under a cliff, among the green grass, lay a blood-stained person.

It was a young man with a pale complexion, tattered clothes, and his body was covered with scars and bloodstains. He had no breath. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was a corpse.

all of a sudden...

The silent corpse suddenly opened its eyes, filled with confusion, surprise, shock and joy.

Then, he sat up, looked at his hands and body, and then looked up at the cliffs and vines in front of him. A memory that did not belong to him suddenly emerged, mingling with the milk of his soul.

"I'm...Xu Yang?"

"No, I'm Li Qingshan!"

"No, I am..."

"Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly, a butterfly dreams of Zhuang Zhou!"

"I'm Xu Yang, and I'm also Li Qingshan!"

After murmuring a few times, he recovered himself, and the confusion in his eyes subsided. Xu Yang propped himself up and began to look around.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, a butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou!
This is the effect of the four-character characteristics, which allows him to travel to another world through dreams. Zhuang Zhou becomes another person like a dream butterfly, accepting his body, memory, and his life past.

Was he really reborn and transported to another world?
Or is it a fantasy travelogue that is illusory and imagined?
Xu Yang couldn't tell, but it didn't matter, to him, whether this world was real or not, whether this life was fiction or reality, didn't matter at all, the important thing was what benefits he could get from it.

According to the memory of the original owner "Li Qingshan", he was born in "Xiaohuang Village".

As the mainstay of the family, Li Qingshan not only has to work hard to cultivate the few acres of thin farmland at home, but also often goes into the mountains to hunt, collect, and search for medicine, so that he can barely support himself and his two younger siblings.

But there are not only rare wild game in the mountains, but also many dangers, all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts, and it is unknown how many mountain households lose their lives every year.

The original owner, Li Qingshan, met with an accident and came here to collect some precious herbs. As a result, he accidentally lost his footing on the cliff and fell heavily to the ground, losing his life.

Then, Xu Yang traveled through "Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly".

Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly not only allowed him to cross over, but also helped him recover the internal and external injuries of this body, and even made up for the weakness and weakness caused by hunger.

The power of the soul is the key to "Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly".

Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly needs to consume the power of the soul, which can be supplied by Xu Yang's body, or it can be accumulated independently by the clone after time travel.

The death of the clone will not lead to the death of the main body, but it will cause certain damage to the soul of the main body.

For ordinary people, damage to the mind and soul is a very serious matter, ranging from dizziness and listlessness, to being stupid and insane, and the soul dissipates.

But to Xu Yang, this is not a big deal, because he has the skill of "sleep".

The calming properties of sleep can effectively warm and nourish the soul. Even if the avatar dies and the soul is damaged, he can still recover through sleep cultivation, and then continue to use Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly to travel.

In other words - he is not afraid of death!

In addition, the power of the soul has another wonderful use.

That is……

Xu Yang (Li Qingshan)

Repair: none
Shouyuan: 16/49
Skills: none

……

Looking at the empty attribute panel, Xu Yang didn't say anything, just a thought.

Afterwards, a line of text slowly appeared in the empty skill column on the attribute panel.

Diet (chewing, digesting, refining, strengthening, unblocking)
This is the wonderful use of the power of the soul. As long as a certain amount of the power of the soul is consumed, the skills of Xu Yang's body can be copied and given to the clone.

In the same way, the avatar can also transfer the skills it has cultivated to the main body, which is equivalent to opening a power leveling trumpet.

Not only skills, as long as the power of the soul is enough, it can even transfer items between the two worlds, and exchange what is needed.

It's a pity that Xu Yang has no cultivation now, and the soul raised by sleep is only a little stronger than ordinary people. Currently, he can only "transmit" one skill, and the rest is unsustainable.

This was the only support from the main body. Xu Yang thought about it for a while and finally chose the diet with the widest applicability.

Why not choose breathing?
Because breathing is easy to practice, no body support is needed at all, and the avatar can practice it by itself after a while.

Diet is different. According to his memory, the living conditions of the original owner Li Qingshan are not good. It is a common thing to suffer from hunger. If you want to practice the skill of diet, I don't know how much time it will take.

Traveling through dreams and seizing the clone, this is the basic function of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly.

In addition, Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly has a special hidden effect.

That is - the speed of time.

There is a huge flow gap between the fantasy world and the real world, and the flow speeds of different worlds are also different. At present, the flow rate ratio between this world and the real world is 360:[-].

In other words, one year has passed in the dream world where the avatar is located, and only one day has passed in the real world of Xu Yang's main body.

Avatar power leveling + time plug-in?

This is Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly!
The golden legend, the four-character characteristic, is really extraordinary!

……

After receiving all the information, Xu Yang raised his head and glanced at the precious herb growing on the cliff. Without thinking about it, Xu Yang picked up the scattered items and baskets, turned around and left.

climb mountains?

Sorry, no!
Even if you can't crawl, even though this is just a clone, you have the capital to be free and not afraid of death, but there are also things to pay attention to, and how to take risks to get the maximum benefit is something that must be considered.
