Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Li Chengfeng's heart suddenly tightened, never expecting that cultivating immortality would be even more cruel.

At least with Wang Can, even if he beat you half to death, there was always a glimmer of hope; the worst was just not having enough to eat or wear. Here, you could eat and drink well, but you could turn into a pile of ashes at any moment.

His face also turned grim, but fortunately, his soul was exceptionally strong, having been tempered countless times, so he didn't show too much panic.

Some of the other children were scared silly, some cried, and some wet themselves in fear.

Tian Ku's gaze was like a knife, scraping across each child's face as he said, "Don't be afraid. Only the disobedient will suffer this fate. As long as you listen well and cultivate diligently, you can not only enjoy endless wealth and glory but also fly through the sky and escape into the earth, becoming immortals. Anyone who can cultivate Qi and break through to the first level of Qi Training will be allowed to visit their parents."

Hearing this, the children's faces revealed expressions of longing. Who wouldn't want to become an immortal? In this world, the legends of immortals were deeply rooted.

Even ordinary people yearned for it, let alone children. They immediately forgot their earlier fear.

Li Chengfeng respectfully said, "Master, I am willing to cultivate immortality. Please impart the cultivation techniques!"

Tian Ku said with satisfaction, "Good. Today, I will impart the techniques to you. You must listen carefully, word for word. I will give you three months. If you still haven't sensed Qi after three months, your fate will be the same as his!

If you sense Qi within three months, you will be my personal disciple. Not only will you eat better, but you will also receive a spiritual medicine every day!"

The young boys were eager to try. They only thought about sensing Qi and becoming immortals, forgetting that if they didn't sense Qi, death awaited them. This was the cruelty of cultivating immortality.

Li Chengfeng secretly resolved that he must cultivate Qi, or else he would face certain death. He always felt that this Master Tian Ku harbored ill intentions.

His eyes only held coldness, devoid of emotion.

He composed himself, and the children listened obediently. The youths were directly stunned by this scene. It was like being hit with a stick and then given a sweet date. They all became obedient.

Although Tian Ku's voice was hoarse, it was very clear. He directly began to lecture.

He began explaining the 'Withered Glory Sky-Piercing Art' from the beginning, explaining it very carefully, from the route of Qi circulation, the expansion of meridians, and the operation of the dantian, dividing it into several steps. Tian Ku lectured three times throughout the morning.

He stood up and said, "Alright, I have finished explaining the first level of Qi Training for this technique. You must cultivate diligently. I will come to check in three months. If you haven't cultivated Qi, it means you haven't worked hard enough, and I will turn you into a pile of ashes!"

After speaking, he leisurely left. Although one couldn't see the expression on his face, Li Chengfeng observed that there was an extra hint of urgency and anticipation in Tian Ku's eyes as he turned to leave.

While lecturing, Li Chengfeng memorized the technique thoroughly on the first go, because his memory was too good, like a seal, firmly engraving every step in his mind.

He had been observing Tian Ku's gaze. Although Tian Ku's gaze was particularly cold, and the children avoided it, Li Chengfeng was inquisitive. He wanted to see a trace of emotion in Tian Ku's eyes.

It was like looking at prey or a treasure. He recalled the disciples who had sensed Qi. A dozen or so were missing in the first month. Zhou Yang explained that Master Tian Ku had seen their successful cultivation and let them go home to visit their families.

Li Chengfeng felt that this was impossible, because this mountain stream was too high. If they wanted to visit their families, only the master could step on a flying sword and send them up, but he had never seen it once. They just disappeared, which made Li Chengfeng afraid to think about it, and his back felt a little chilly.

He felt that he should prepare to escape. He didn't know where those disciples went, but it definitely wouldn't be a good end. Now that he had obtained the technique, he was preparing to cultivate. As long as he had Qi, these three months would be his only chance to escape.

The children hurriedly ran back to their cave dwellings. Li Chengfeng was the same. He returned to his cave dwelling, closed the door, relaxed his mind, and calmed down.

Cultivation, the first thing is to calm down, to be focused, without distractions. He could get rid of any bad emotions at any time.

This was also a benefit gained from the Nine Heavens Soul Tempering. He sat cross-legged and circulated the 'Withered Glory Sky-Piercing Art'. He began to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth according to its path.

Having done this continuously for half a month, he still didn't feel any Qi. Li Chengfeng realized the difficulty of cultivating immortality, which made him anxious. Fortunately, he observed that the other dozen or so children didn't sense Qi either, which slightly relieved him.

Today, he abandoned distracting thoughts, circulated the technique, and suddenly felt a trace of Qi in his meridians, slowly pulsating. This was the Qi sensation.

In fact, as long as one has spiritual roots, it is very easy to sense Qi. It's just that Li Chengfeng's three-attribute mixed spiritual roots slowed him down a bit. The first hurdle is to achieve a state of no distracting thoughts, which is also the most difficult hurdle, because people have seven emotions and six desires.

Many people stop here. Another thing is to be focused, single-minded. Breathing follows the heart, flowing in the meridians. This time, the spiritual energy just appeared, it was a warm current.

Then, a cold aura slowly flowed from another meridian. That aura was like a steel knife, fiercely chopping in your meridian, and Li Chengfeng's forehead immediately dripped with sweat.

His mind flashed through the 'Withered Glory Sky-Piercing Art' and found that there was nothing wrong. This warm current was generated in his right meridian, and that bone-chilling cold current appeared in his left meridian. They began to circulate at an extremely slow speed.

The right side was very comfortable, making people feel like they were floating in the air, while the left side was like falling into hell. With these two feelings, it was difficult for anyone to persist, and they would fail at this step.

Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and persisted. No matter how painful it was, he must cultivate to the first level of the 'Withered Glory Sky-Piercing Art' to have a chance to escape.

The mountain stream was thousands of meters high, and so smooth that he couldn't climb out. He could only increase his strength.

After four or five days of failure, on the sixth day, it finally flowed into the dantian.

At this time, his left side was already as stiff as a wooden sculpture, and his fingers could not move at all, while his right side was free to move and unusually comfortable. These two warm currents flowed into his dantian, which was also the most dangerous step.

Because this warm current is vitality, and the power of coldness is death energy. These two forces suddenly collided in the dantian, and the dantian immediately trembled, and a tearing pain directly impacted the soul.

If it were an ordinary child, they would probably have given up directly at this time. Not everyone can endure the heart-wrenching pain.

The three months that Tian Ku gave seemed very long, but in reality, they were very short, because he was cultivating the 'Withered Glory Sky-Piercing Art' and knew the dangers involved.

Li Chengfeng was unmoved, letting the two spiritual energies slowly entwine and rotate, forming a vortex chasing each other.

After six days of exploration, he had thoroughly understood the key to it. When rotating, he had a whimsical idea and injected a strand of his soul power into the dantian as if by a divine stroke.

Soul power is another kind of power. Wither and Glory became less violent under this power, forming a rotating Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish. Soul power first separated the two forces, then slowly rotated, and then slowly allowed the two forces to follow the rhythm, no longer colliding so much.

Otherwise, you have to control these two forces at any time, and you can't lose balance, otherwise the dantian will explode and the meridians will be damaged.

Li Chengfeng finally completed the first step of Qi sensation, and also allowed the two energies to run perfectly. His method was not recorded in the technique.

But it perfectly solved this coexistence problem. Others must concentrate on cultivation, like a balance, and there can be no deviation in the Qi entering both sides, but Li Chengfeng can have some errors.

With soul power in the middle, of course, the deviation cannot be too large, which will make his cultivation faster and more stable.
