Who Cares About Childhood Sweethearts When They Can Become Immortals?

Chapter 22 Dingzhu Jin

Xu Ji looked at the strange look his father looked at him, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart.

"Ahem." Xu Wuwei coughed twice, "Now I will teach you how to practice the Myriad Manifestations."

When Xu Ji heard this, his expression became a little more solemn.

"Myriad Manifestations is a supplementary Body Refining technique. It is different from traditional cultivation techniques through meditation. Instead, it uses postures to mobilize the spiritual energy in the body to nourish the body."

"Compared with the Myriad Dao Art you practice, the Myriad Manifestations Art is more similar to the Body Casting Art practiced by mortals by condensing Spirit Gathering roots." Xu Ji explained.

"Now I will teach you the introductory form of the Myriad Manifestations Kung Fu - Dingzhu Jin."

After that, Xu Wuwei put up a complicated posture in front of Xu Ji and said to Xu Ji: "Come on, push me!"

Hearing this, Xu Ji first tried to push Xu Wuwei gently, and found that his father was motionless. Then he gradually increased his strength, but in the end, he even used spiritual energy to bless himself, but still could not push Xu Wuwei.

Xu Wuwei is now rooted in the ground like a green bamboo. No matter how hard Xu Ji tries, he can't push it even a little bit.

"The strength of the bamboo is fixed, and the green mountains are not relaxed. The roots are still in the broken rocks. It has been strong despite being struck by the east, west, north, and south."

"The main purpose of practicing Dingzhu Jin is to mobilize the vitality in your body, so that you can feel the existence of your own vitality. Otherwise, if you can't even feel it, how can you enhance your vitality?"

"Follow my posture and you first put on a strong stance." Xu Wuwei said to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji immediately followed the example of a cat and a tiger and put on an airs similar to Xu Wuwei's Dingzhu Jin. However, this posture made Xu Ji feel very awkward and it seemed that he couldn't exert any effort.

Xu Wuwei pushed Xu Ji gently, and Xu Ji fell to the ground. He did not have the tenacity to resist the wind of east, west, north and south.

"Dingzhu Jin, in addition to the word Dingzhu, there is also the word Jijin! This Jin requires you to mobilize your own strength, otherwise no matter how similar it is outside, it will just be an empty shelf that will fall down at the first touch."

"Come on, try again!"

Xu Ji quickly got up from the ground and once again put on the Dingzhujin airs as before.

Xu Ji tried to mobilize the strength in his body as his father said, but as the body exerted more force, the awkward and strange feeling became more and more unbearable. This time, Xu Ji fell down before Xu Wuwei could touch him.

"Dad, why do I always have an awkward and strange feeling in my body when I perform Dingzhu Jin? And after using the strength, I can't even maintain the Dingzhu Jin's posture?" Xu Ji was a little confused. Asked doubtfully.

"Dingzhu Jin is to mobilize the vitality in your body, and the vitality is spread throughout every muscle and every organ in your body. Dingzhu Jin is to mobilize every muscle in your body to mobilize your vitality. effect."

"The discomfort you feel when practicing Dingzhu Jin is because it mobilizes muscles that you seldom exercise, so you feel awkward. Once your body becomes familiar with this feeling, it will feel much better."

Xu Ji suddenly realized that this was the case, so he once again put on the posture of Dingzhu Jin. This time he did not mobilize all the strength immediately, but increased the strength little by little until he was about to fall and was about to disperse. Then he stopped, not continuing to increase his strength, but planning to get familiar with the current situation first.

Seeing this, Xu Wuwei nodded slightly and taught, "You have to borrow strength from the earth and make your legs feel as if they are rooted in the ground."

"If you have Earth Spirit Root or Wood Spirit Root, it may be easier to master Dingzhu Jin. But if you don't have these two types of Spirit Root, you can only rely on hard practice. From today on, you can practice Dingzhu Jin for two hours every day until After your posture is solid, try using the spiritual energy in your body instead of strength."

Xu Ji will naturally not raise objections. For him, the only difficulty in practicing exercises and techniques is getting started, and once he gets started, he can quickly and thoroughly master them through the proficiency panel.

As for my father, a true cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm, his suggestions from his perspective can naturally help him get started quickly, so he has no reason to raise objections.

Seeing that his son didn't make any excuses to ask for a reduction in daily training time, Xu Wuwei nodded secretly in his heart, gave Xu Ji some pointers, and then left, leaving Xu Ji alone in the training ground to practice Dingzhu Jin.

There is no shortcut to the practice of Dingzhu Jin. You can only find the changes in your body and feel the existence of vitality over time.

Xu Ji did not slack off after seeing his father leave. After all, cultivation was only his own business.

"Kaiyuan, help me count down the two hours."

Xu Ji summoned Kaiyuan to time himself so as not to fail to complete today's task.

As time passed by, Xu Ji felt that he was getting more and more tired, and the strange and strange feeling in his body became stronger and even faintly itchy. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to be moving slightly, and it wanted to move towards every part of his body. circulation.

Xu Ji forcibly suppressed the spiritual energy in his body. With his current mastery of Dingzhu Jin, just mobilizing the strength was already so exhausting. If he mobilized the spiritual energy again, he might not even be able to maintain the dignity of Dingzhu Jin.

You have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step. If you walk too fast, you will easily get pulled.

However, suppressing the spiritual energy in the body also required part of Xu Ji's mental energy. In addition, due to the physical fatigue caused by practicing Dingzhu Jin, Xu Ji felt exhausted physically and mentally, and even the airs he put on were a little shaky.

Big beads of sweat dripped from Xu Ji's forehead, and even the school uniform was soaked by Xu Ji's sweat.

The physical exhaustion made Xu Ji almost feel that she had reached her limit.

"Give up. Today is just the first day of practice. This is good enough now. It's not too late to wait until tomorrow to fulfill father's request."

In the case of extreme physical and mental fatigue, many distracting thoughts could not help but arise in Xu Ji's heart.

"Have a rest. With the proficiency panel by your side, so what if you don't complete the task according to the quota? It's just that you started late! With the proficiency panel by your side, even if you start late, your cultivation speed will still be far faster than others! There’s no need to push yourself to your limits all the time.”

"State is the foundation. We can practice for another half hour today. Otherwise, let's practice Myriad Dao Art now. After completing Myriad Dao Art, we can continue to practice Dingzhu Jin! Just now, my father didn't say that he wanted to practice it all at once. It takes two hours to set the bamboo strength, so it’s okay to split it up twice, right?”

"The body has reached its limit. If we continue to practice forcefully, not only will it not be beneficial to the practice of Dingzhu Jin, it will also cause damage to the body and consume one's own vitality. The gain is not worth the loss. Rushing for success is also a taboo in practice!"

"..."

All kinds of distracting thoughts appeared in Xu Ji's mind, but without exception they all persuaded Xu Ji to give up.
