The Only Cultivator In The World

Chapter 3 Ten Years in the Cave

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.

Tian Xiao was wearing trousers and driving piles in the practice room. The naked upper body has clear muscle lines and looks strong but not thick. The once soft belly has been replaced by eight-pack abs. It's a pity that this good figure that can make countless beautiful girls have nosebleeds is now the only one he can admire.

Within a year, Tian Xiao has gradually become accustomed to living alone, but many times he still misses the days outside, misses beer and barbecue, misses mobile games, misses the learning materials in the computer disk...ahem.

After staying in the cave for a while, Tian Xiao had his own routine. After getting up in the morning and eating breakfast, I will exercise for two hours according to the exercise method in the unknown ancient book. Then I will read a book, eat a meal, take a nap, and exercise for three hours in the afternoon. In the evening, I continued reading and went to bed on time around eleven o'clock.

Within a year, Tian Xiao focused on learning Taoism, cooking, and medicine. Occasionally, I also read Buddhist books, Gu magic, farming methods, etc. Among them, his favorite is Taoism, which includes fortune telling, feng shui, palm reading, fortune telling, and various basic knowledge of Taoism, which Tian Xiao finds very interesting.

The body-building methods in the unknown ancient book are relatively comprehensive and strict. For example, in the article about pile driving, the requirement is to drive the pile for one hour, which is two hours. Tian Xiao couldn't last twenty minutes at the beginning. After this year of training, I finally finished squatting for two hours today. Although I was very tired, I still had energy left.

All other items have been completed today, such as 300 push-ups, 100 squats with 80 kilograms of weight, 300 sit-ups, etc. As for the timer, there is an hourglass in the practice room, which will drain once an hour, and then it will turn over on its own, like a perpetual motion machine.

After finishing driving piles for an hour, Tian Xiao went to take a shower, sat on the stone chair in the main room, and picked up the unknown ancient book.

"The above exercises are completed, what should we do next? There are no other exercise books." Tian Xiao opened the ancient book casually.

"Huh?" Tian Xiao's eyes widened and he jumped up from the stone chair.

"The content has changed?"

Tian Xiao was shocked and surprised. He quickly looked at the content inside and found that except for the first page, the content behind it had really changed.

"I've been driving piles for an hour with a weight of fifty kilograms. Well, my posture has not changed. Hold my breath in the water for ten minutes? Isn't this a bit difficult?"

"Isn't this posture just a pull-up? What? Three hundred? This is something a human can do!"

"Is this... jumping steps with weights? A thousand?!!"

...

When Tian Xiao returned to the practice room again, the appearance of the practice room had changed. For example, there were more sandbags tied to the body, a two-meter-deep pool, etc.

"Why does it feel bigger than before? It can't be an illusion."

Later, one day when Tian Xiao read the Taoist book and thought he had almost mastered it, the book also changed as expected. The content inside has become more advanced. In addition to more complicated theoretical knowledge such as Yin Yang and Five Elements, even the fortune-telling stuff I learned before is also more complicated. In general, it means more flexibility and more emphasis on practice.

Later, other books were also updated one after another, such as the one on cooking. It actually didn’t take much time to finish the "first edition", but Tian Xiao could only eat it by himself whether it tasted good or not, so he didn't study it carefully. The subsequent update of the recipe also surprised Tian Xiao for a while. After all, the "second version" of the recipe is indeed much more delicious.

Near the third year, Tian Xiao finished practicing the "Second Edition" of the Unnamed Ancient Book. By this time, his physical fitness had far exceeded that of ordinary people. He could jump as high as a person on the spot, which is about two meters.

In the fifth year, the unknown ancient book opens its "fourth edition", Taoism and medical skills enter the "third edition of Dzogchen", and other interested people will basically enter the "third edition" soon. Only Tian Xiao, such as Buddhism, It was really out of interest that I entered the "second edition".

Despite this, Tian Xiao can be regarded as a well-rounded talent. In the society, one can prosper with just cooking or medical skills. Taoist Taoism has also slowly learned the essence. The skills of reading Feng Shui and fortune telling are far beyond what ordinary Feng Shui masters can compare with. Even Taoist academics can also be discussed with professional Taoist priests in Taoist temples without falling behind.

Time flew by in the cave, and ten years passed by unknowingly. Tian Xiao was already thirty-three years old at this time, and the greenness in his eyes was replaced by calmness. Tian Xiao was wearing white clothes, and his long hair, which had not been cut for many years, had grown to his waist. Fortunately, my beard is taken care of regularly and my face looks fair and smooth.

Due to years of physical training, Tian Xiao looks introverted, but his eyes are bright and full of aura, and his appearance has not changed much. He looks like a young man in his early twenties, paired with the white clothes With his long hair, he looks a bit like a handsome young man from ancient times. He can be said to be a jade tree facing the wind.

Now Tian Xiao has completed the "eighth edition" of the unknown ancient book and has officially entered the "ninth edition". And his own physical fitness has almost reached the extreme of the human body. Just one punch can reach a force of more than a thousand kilograms. Even a strong cow can be killed with one punch!

As early as the "Seventh Edition", Tian Xiao could already jump more than three meters above the ground during a run-up. With his height of 1.7 meters, he was still only about one meter away. Touching the entrance of the cave, Tian Xiao was extremely surprised and thought that the day when he could leave the cave was not far away. But it wasn't until he finished practicing the "Eighth Edition" that he discovered that his body's functions had almost reached its peak. The "Eighth Edition" had brought him very little increase, and it was more like repairing some minor deficiencies in his body. Thereby reaching the true ultimate perfection, the point where there is nothing stronger.

In desperation, Tian Xiao inadvertently opened the "Ninth Edition" of the ancient book. He originally thought that the "Ninth Edition" was still a more abnormal way to exercise, but he did not expect that the "Ninth Edition" actually guided him to dredge his muscles and tone his body. Rest and meditate! However, Tian Xiao was not angry but happy. You must know that this is an immortal cave, and what is left behind is the cultivation method of the immortal! Even though the previous body-building method was unique and allowed him to reach the ultimate level of the human body step by step, it would never be possible for him to possess the immortal power of soaring into the clouds! Could it be that what follows is the real method of cultivating immortality?

Thinking of this, Tian Xiao couldn't wait to start the path of cultivation. He spent more than two-thirds of his time reading unknown ancient books every day, which greatly improved the progress of books such as "Tao Jing" and "Medical Classic" that entered the "seventh edition". Slowed down.

Within the next year, Tian Xiao followed the guidance of ancient books and performed some boring, repetitive, and simple actions every day. At the same time, he spent most of his time sitting and regulating his breath, just like an old Taoist priest.

The "Ninth Edition" ancient book also gives a recipe for a medicated bath, requiring Tian Xiao to soak his whole body for an hour every day before meditating. However, if the medicinal materials recorded in ancient books suddenly appear in the "vegetable garden", there is no need to worry about the lack of medicinal materials.

Now Tian Xiao can hold his breath in the water for more than half an hour. Because he is afraid of making mistakes, he strictly follows the instructions in the ancient books. He actually immerses his whole body, including his head, in the medicine jar, and only exposes his nostrils to breathe once for half an hour. What made Tian Xiao feel like he was vomiting blood was that he had persisted like this every day for a whole year, but his body could not feel any changes!

"Is it possible that I don't have the qualifications to become an immortal? God, please don't do this to me! Is it true that I, Tian Xiao, am going to die trapped in this cave?" Tian Xiao looked up to the sky and roared, wanting to cry but without tears.

A great opportunity to cultivate immortality is in front of him, but he does not have the qualifications to cultivate immortality. He can only slowly die of old age in the cave. Such a blow would make anyone crazy.

In desperation, Tian Xiao focused his energy on the study of other books. Although the practice of the nameless ancient book continued, he lost a lot of time. Another half year later, "The Classic of Taoism" and "The Classic of Medicine" entered the "eighth edition" one after another. At this time, these two books were no longer understandable to ordinary people, but Tian Xiao could read them with gusto. "Recipe" has also entered the "Sixth Edition". In addition to delicious food, Tian Xiao also learned several ways to make wine in it, and the "Sixth Edition" brewed a wine called "Du Sikong", which is simply Tian Xiao couldn't stop drinking, and would drink one or two drinks every day.

"Recipe" records that "Du Sikong" is a wine that was accidentally discovered by an ancient Sikong master when he was unhappy in officialdom. The wine is sweet in the mouth, slightly bitter in the throat, but has a mysterious aftertaste in the stomach, which makes people feel ecstasy and makes this person feel happy. Lord Sikong not only recalled the ups and downs of his life, but also felt infinite emotions every time he drank this wine, which made this wine famous and popular for a while, hence the origin of the name "Du Sikong".

This wine also made Tian Xiao feel rich in artistic conception, which made him not only sigh with emotion, but also had a special liking for this wine. Of course, this is also because this wine is of the highest quality. If it were sold to outsiders, it would probably be a rare-to-find wine.

On this day, after Tian Xiao completed a day of practice, he still had good wine and delicious food. Because he was not in a good mood, he drank two more drinks and fell asleep without realizing it.

After a deep sleep, when he woke up the next day, he found that his stomach still felt burning and his whole body was extremely hot.

"Do I have a cold?" Tian Xiao quickly checked his pulse and found that he was not sick. Besides the hot spots on his body and abdomen, there was nothing wrong with him.

With Tian Xiao's current medical skills, he doesn't even need to take a pulse to see if a person is sick. He can tell by just looking at him. However, his current situation makes him confused. It's really weird. .

After checking it carefully, he determined that there was nothing wrong with him, so he didn't bother to care about it. Since it couldn't be solved and it wasn't a serious problem, he didn't bother to delve into it.

After breakfast, the strangeness in Tian Xiao's body slowly disappeared, and he came to the main cave mansion without any care, studying the unknown ancient book as usual.

As soon as he opened the book, Tian Xiao couldn't help but his eyes widened. He discovered that the content of the ancient book had changed! This is like entering the "tenth edition"!

"Is this...the 'Ninth Edition' already completed?"

Tian Xiao was filled with questions for a while. Although he had been practicing the "ninth edition" of the unknown ancient book for a year and a half, he really didn't feel the slightest change in his body during this period. How could he be so confused? Is it complete?

In addition to being shocked, Tian Xiao couldn't wait to read the contents of the "Tenth Edition". The medicated bath in the "Tenth Edition" has a different formula, and the method of meditation and breathing adjustment has also changed. In the "Ninth Edition", meditation and breathing adjustment only requires that the mind be clear of distracting thoughts, the mind should be concentrated, and all attention should be constantly wandering around one's body in a prescribed order. There is nothing surprising about it.

The "Tenth Edition" pointed out that "by mobilizing the mind, the Dantian source energy flows through the limbs and bones, reaching one week every day." This made Tian Xiao feel a little confused and didn't know what to do for a while.

In addition, the "Tenth Edition" also provides a boxing method called "Bafang Fist", which looks like a legendary martial arts secret book, which makes Tian Xiao very interested.
