Dragon's Origin

Chapter 143: Customized Cultivation Method (Part 2)

A tailor-made cultivation method designed specifically for Wang Sheng, who was in desperate need of one. Would Wang Sheng not practice it? It seems Wang Sheng isn't foolish enough to have survived until now.

Putting aside everything else, just the set of tools that the Lingxu old Taoist took out, the Di Que Gold plus such a powerful formation, and the fact that it was arranged on such a small tool, the materials plus the craftsmanship plus the favors and costs that the old Taoist paid for it, would definitely not be a small amount. Only a fool wouldn't practice it.

Lingxu old Taoist left, leaving contentedly. He used this set of tools and methods to repay Wang Sheng for teaching him the concept of Tai Chi. If Wang Sheng wants to know the secrets of the Thousand Absolutes Land, he still needs to fulfill his previous agreement with the old Taoist.

Before leaving, Master Lu had already said that Wang Sheng could practice his basic skills on his own without having to follow his little apprentice anymore. This also meant that Wang Sheng didn't have to stay in this small mountain village and could leave to practice on his own.

The last incident with the young man and the old formation master frightened the people of this small mountain village. However, Wang Sheng later compensated them with the weapons of those guys. But Wang Sheng believed that if he stayed any longer, other things would probably happen, which wouldn't be good for these simple villagers.

Two days later, Wang Sheng appeared at the confluence of the three rivers. He had made preparations and planned to start directly on this giant peak.

It's definitely impossible to start carving the Lao-Tzu statue right away. Wang Sheng carefully observed the giant rock from several directions on the shore for a few days before closing his eyes in his temporary foothold and entering theYuanhun space.

In the Yuanhun space, the combat consciousness little man directly transformed a clone into that giant rock, not only displaying the details perfectly, but also completely simulating the surrounding mountains and terrain when it was completed.

Wang Sheng began to simulate a complete Lao-Tzu statue in his mind based on the giant rock. The combat consciousness little man seemed to receive Wang Sheng's thoughts and also simulated the Lao-Tzu statue, embedding it inside the giant rock. In other words, the huge Lao-Tzu statue that Wang Sheng imagined could be carved out of this giant rock.

Next, the combat consciousness little man began to optimize the carving process, starting with chiseling out the rough shape with a thousand-pound hammer and chisel according to the old Taoist's requirements.

Because this was originally a cultivation method tailored for Wang Sheng by the old Taoist, the combat consciousness little man didn't reject it at all, and even simulated the effect of each hammer blow.

Similarly, Wang Sheng didn't give up practicing calligraphy. However, since the old Taoist wasn't around to supervise in real time, Wang Sheng didn't have to write the clerical script that the old Taoist was proficient in, but instead chose the regular script that didn't yet exist in this world, and still in the formal style.

There's no need to practice many characters, one is enough. In the practice of regular script, the single character " eternity" encompasses all the basic exercises. The Yong(永: eternity) character eight principles in Earth's calligraphy are not just for show.

The Yong(永: eternity) character eight principles are the rules of brushstrokes in Chinese calligraphy. Taking the eight-stroke sequence of the " eternity" character as an example, it explains the method of regular script brushstrokes: the dot is side, the side edge falls sharply, the brush moves with the bristles spread, and the momentum is sufficient to retract the brush; the horizontal stroke is rein, the reverse edge falls on the paper, slowly goes and quickly returns, and cannot pass smoothly with the forward edge; the vertical stroke is effort, it should not be too straight, if it is too straight, it will be stiff and powerless, but must have a curved momentum in the straightness; the hook is趯(ti: kick), hold the brush and lift it, so that the force is concentrated on the tip of the brush; the upward horizontal stroke is strategy, the starting stroke is the same as the vertical stroke, and the force is obtained at the end of the stroke; the long skimming is snatch, the starting stroke is the same as the vertical stroke, the outgoing edge is slightly fat, and the force must be delivered; the short skimming is peck, the stroke falls to the left, quickly and sharply; the pressing down stroke is磔(zhe: splitting), the reverse edge falls lightly, the folding edge spreads the bristles and moves slowly, and the retract the brush emphasizes implicit.

For Wang Sheng's basic learning, this one character is enough.

After carefully preparing and designing for half a month, Wang Sheng climbed onto the giant rock in the river again and began the carving work of the Lao-Tzu giant statue.

At the beginning, he carved the rough shape. During the roughing out stage, Wang Sheng also had to leave the nearly straight stone wall on the outside to prevent people from seeing what was inside. This also meant that Wang Sheng had to start from the top of the giant rock and dig down little by little.

Wang Sheng clearly remembered that when he was on Earth and saw the Leshan Giant Buddha, the seventy-meter-high Buddha statue took the artisans of that time ninety years to complete. This giant rock is more than one hundred zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length, approx. 3.3 meters) high, more than three hundred meters high. How long will it take to complete?

However, those artisans didn't have Wang Sheng's strength, Wang Sheng's cultivation, or Wang Sheng's combat consciousness little man in theYuanhun space constantly helping Wang Sheng simulate how the next hammer blow should be used. In terms of efficiency alone, it's impossible for them to be as efficient as Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng wasn't an arrogant person, so he didn't rush to carve it. If he couldn't control the weight of the hammer and the technique of using it, all the effort would be wasted. So Wang Sheng started very slowly, just to adapt to the change in the weight of the hammer.

At first, Wang Sheng could chisel off large chunks of stone. Wang Sheng didn't waste these chiseled stones, and Wang Sheng used them all to practice controlling his strength.

For every piece of stone chiseled off, Wang Sheng carefully hammered it into walnut-sized particles, one hammer blow at a time. Relying solely on this action of smashing stones, he tirelessly comprehended the technique of applying force, again and again.

People on the boats coming and going on the river quickly learned that someone was smashing stones here, but no one found it strange. Wang Sheng even hired a boat to transport the crushed stones he smashed every day to a remote shore of one of the three rivers, and slowly built a small wharf with these rubble.

Wang Sheng's life began to become regular. In the morning, one hundred Yong(永: eternity) characters, at noon, one hundred Yong(永: eternity) characters, at dusk, one hundred Yong(永: eternity) characters. Other times, except for a small amount of sleep time each day, he was carving and smashing stones, almost non-stop, rain or shine.

When writing, Wang Sheng had to get used to the weight of any pen he picked up, and he had to use spiritual energy to control it so that the stroke wouldn't deviate or fail. When carving, Wang Sheng also couldn't make mistakes, and he had to use spiritual energy to control it carefully at all times. At most, he could try different effects of different weights or techniques when smashing stones.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

In this way, it was equivalent to Wang Sheng continuously outputting spiritual energy every day, every day, all the time. If it weren't for the eight acupoints, each with yin and yang cyclones, constantly swallowing and spitting out spiritual energy, Wang Sheng didn't know if he could hold on.

Even when Wang Sheng was chased into the Thousand Absolutes Land, he had never output spiritual energy at such a high intensity. At first, Wang Sheng even had to take five hours of deep sleep every day to barely relieve his fatigue. But as Wang Sheng became more and more adapted, Wang Sheng's deep sleep time also became shorter and shorter.

After digging down twenty zhang(丈: zhang - a unit of length, approx. 3.3 meters) into the giant rock, more than a month had passed. Wang Sheng could easily wield the thousand-pound hammer and leisurely carve out the effect he wanted.

Wang Sheng understood that he had barely adapted to the weight of this hammer.
