Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 11: Dragons and Snakes Hibernate to Survive

After making sure Ji Jingqiu had memorized the breathing method, Yang Yan continued to teach him several other stances of the Fu Long Posture.

"Below is solid and above is empty, always pay attention to the flow of center of gravity."

"Don't stop breathing—"

"The breathing method is paired with the stance. Only by combining the two can you mobilize your qi and blood circulation to the maximum extent and stimulate cell activity."

"Once you have mastered the standing meditation and breathing techniques, you need to practice them over and over again until a wisp of 'qi' is generated in your body. This is what is called nourishing qi."

"This stage requires frequent mobilization of the body's qi and blood circulation, which usually takes a week to a month. For some talented warriors, one day is enough."

"What is Qi Jin?"

"This is quite obvious. Once you generate Qi, you will have a clear sense of it."

The original breathing method was already strenuous enough, and now coupled with the extremely weird and twisted posture of the pole frame, the two combined have the effect of one plus one being greater than two. Ji Jingqiu, who is not afraid of hardship, suddenly feels that this is how life is.

To be honest, Ji Jingqiu had also practiced the so-called breathing method, Tai Chi stance and so on in his previous life.

But compared with what is happening now, it is a completely different style.

After he had mastered the three stances, he felt that every part of his body no longer belonged to him.

If Master Yang hadn't helped him massage his qi and blood during this period, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

This is too evil...

The whole morning passed like this.

It was time for lunch.

Ji Jingqiu felt sore and painful all over and was starving.

The martial arts school does not provide meals for ordinary students.

But Master Yang and several of his true disciples all need to eat, so there is a small cafeteria at the back of the martial arts hall.

It’s called a cafeteria, but in fact it’s just a big round table, with room for seven people to sit.

"It's time to eat!" Third Senior Sister Yao Wei brought the soup bowl and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, the kitchen is still cooking."

The dishes were served. There were more than twenty dishes for seven people, and they were still being prepared in the kitchen.

"Drink soup before meals."

Yang Yan slowly scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Ji Jingqiu beside him, then instructed Yang Yao and Liu Xi to serve soup to his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

The soup is very light and doesn't look greasy.

Ji Jingqiu drank it all in one gulp. It was not as bitter as he had imagined, but his stomach felt very comfortable after drinking it. A warm feeling spread from his stomach to every part of his body.

"Master Yang, doesn't it mean that we need to take secret medicine when practicing standing meditation? Should we drink it before or after meals?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

Dao Ye’s information also mentioned that the taste of the martial arts secret medicine is hard to describe, and it is recommended to drink it all in one gulp.

Yang Yan pointed at the delicious food on the table in front of him and said, "This table is full of 'big medicine', eat as much as you can."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

Yao Wei, who was standing by, smiled gently and said, "Our martial arts school advocates food supplements. Master doesn't like high-energy foods like 'high-energy bars' in his daily life."

Yang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Those kinds of things are only used when necessary, and are not necessary in daily life."

Zhang Xingshan drank a mouthful of the hot soup, was stunned for a moment, and asked in shock: "Master Yang, did you add 'heart skeleton' to this soup?"

"Haha, you still have good vision when doing good deeds! Not only in the soup, but all the dishes are added with heart skeleton powder."

Yang Yan laughed loudly.
"But it's just powder. Otherwise, not to mention the three of you who are new to martial arts, even your third sister wouldn't be able to withstand the effects of this medicine."

After hearing these words, even the cold-natured Luo Xi held the edge of the bowl, drank the soup seriously, and calculated his stomach capacity in his mind.

The main function of the secret martial arts medicine taken during the body-building period is to invigorate blood circulation, nourish qi, and make up for the deficiencies in the body.

In addition to the above-mentioned medicinal effects, long-term use of [Heart] can also enhance spiritual strength. The overall effect is far superior to ordinary martial arts secret medicines, and it is easier for the human body to absorb, with almost no side effects!
This stuff is not for the body-building stage, but the 'main ingredient of secret medicine' for warriors of the True Species and above!
Even if it is just a little bit of powder, for beginners like them, it is far better than the secret medicine of the body-building period.

Nowadays, the prices of all cultivation resources related to [Spiritual Power] are only getting higher and higher, and they are all federally controlled resources!

Master Yang’s true identity was indeed extraordinary. Even her grandfather, the director of the Security Bureau of Tai’an City, would not be so extravagant as to grind the heart into powder and add it to dishes every day.

They are all used as the main ingredients, combined with other materials, to make secret medicines for consumption.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the table full of dishes and his appetite grew. He had a big appetite since he was a child and could eat from the beginning to the end of the snack street.

Yang Yan smiled and said, "In martial arts practice, being able to eat is also a talent. Let's all start eating."

Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks.

Ji Jingqiu finished his soup and started eating.

Every dish is not only delicious, but also makes you feel as if a warm current is flowing through your body after eating it, just like soaking in a hot spring, which relieves all the soreness in your body.

Is this the effect of adding heart powder?

He learned from Dao Ye early this morning that many modern warriors simply use high-energy nutrition bars to solve their energy problems in order to save trouble.

In addition to taste, high-energy nutrition bars can solve all your body's needs.

But this obviously does not conform to Ji Jingqiu's life purpose.

Life is already so hard, why should you treat yourself badly when it comes to food?
Fortunately, Master Yang advocates food supplements!

Ji Jingqiu chewed each bite slowly, which was a good habit he had developed over the years, but his speed in picking up his chopsticks was not slow at all.

At the side, Luo Xi really couldn't eat anymore. Her proud little stomach that had kept her in shape in the past now became a burden to her.

She put down her chopsticks reluctantly.

Look up.

He found that all the senior brothers and sisters were eating voraciously with their heads down, wielding their chopsticks very quickly. Among them, Master Yang was the fastest. He took a piece of medicinal beef the size of half a fist into his mouth, and he just grinded it with his two rows of teeth and swallowed it.

The warriors of the fourth realm are so terrifying!
The second is the eldest senior brother Yang Yao.

Zhang Xingshan was about the same size as himself and was obviously almost full, so he almost put down his bowl and chopsticks.

And Ji Jingqiu...

Luo Xi's pupils trembled. This guy's delicate and elegant manner of chewing food slowly was just as good as his own, but compared to other people, his eating speed was not slow at all!

Moreover, although he looks skinny and weak, his appetite is actually huge.

This guy... Luo Xi was secretly shocked. She knew in her heart that compared to Zhang Xingshan, Ji Jingqiu was her biggest competitor.

The clue can be seen from the Fulong Posture that Master Yang chose for him.

Fu Long Zhuang is an extremely unconventional stance exercise. It is extremely difficult to practice and the process can be described as suffering, but in the middle and late stages, the progress of practice will be very fast.

There was only the eldest brother Yang Yao in the martial arts hall, and he was practicing the Fulong Posture.

And starting today, there is one more Ji Jingqiu.

Earlier, after Master Yang sat down, he personally served soup to Ji Jingqiu, which was also a detail.

Luo Xi felt heavy-hearted. He filled another bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

On the dining table, the empty plates are taken away and the dishes with steam from the wok are brought to the table. There is a dedicated person in charge and the cycle continues.

Liu Xi and Yao Wei also put down their bowls and chopsticks.
"Junior Brother Ji is indeed a martial arts genius. He can eat so much right after just starting to practice. His appetite is even greater than mine!"

Liu Xi exclaimed in amazement.

Everyone felt the same way.

Yang Yan put down his chopsticks. He ate several times faster than the others, so he finished eating earlier than Ji Jingqiu and Yang Yao.

"Haha, being able to eat is a blessing. Rest for an hour after the meal. During this time, you can try to enter a state of meditation or maintain a static posture. This can speed up the digestion of the effects of the Heart Relic Medicine."

After giving the instructions, Yang Yan stood up and left first.

After the teacher left, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little more cheerful.

Looking at Ji Jingqiu, whose stomach had not yet reached its limit, Luo Xi had never hated his small stomach so much.

She wanted to pick up the chopsticks and continue fighting, but she was powerless.

hateful!

Since when did eating become a martial arts talent? !
Luo Xi gritted his teeth, left the cafeteria with a resolute look, and prepared to continue his training.

As soon as I got to the front, I saw Zhang Xingshan had secretly started practicing Jingzhuang at some point.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

He who steals rolls, he who can eat...

……

In the cafeteria.

Ji Jingqiu put down his chopsticks and burped contentedly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the martial arts practice in the morning.

Although he usually has a good appetite, this is his strongest performance.

Looking at the senior brother who was still eating, Ji Jingqiu showed admiration and poured a bowl of soup to rinse his mouth.

After finishing the meal, I felt warm all over and so comfortable that I really wanted to fall down and sleep.

After a while.

Ji Jingqiu returned to the training ground, found an open space, sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of meditation after adjusting his body and mind.

His body fell into a deep sleep, while his mind sank into the inner world.

After sucking the tiger cub for a while, Ji Jingqiu suddenly had an idea.

This pure land is too realistic. Can he practice standing meditation here?

After just taking a look at the small area of ​​the Pure Land, Ji Jingqiu temporarily gave up the idea.

If standing meditation fails, what about breathing techniques?
He could indeed breathe here, although he didn't know if it counted as breathing.

Try it.

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged and began to practice breathing techniques.

This time his breathing was very smooth. He no longer had the chest tightness and dizziness he had before. Instead, he felt very comfortable.

After a complete cycle, it seemed as if without the constraints and influence of the physical body, Ji Jingqiu had a deeper grasp of the rhythmic cycle of the breathing method.

He thought to himself what was this?
But he forgot about it in an instant.

Instead of thinking too much, it is better to practice breathing techniques twice more.

So Ji Jingqiu closed his eyes and continued to experience the essence of the breathing method in his mind.

I don’t know when it started.

The small tree rooted in front of him began to cast more clear light, which diffused around Ji Jingqiu and penetrated into his body with his breathing.

Faintly, the breathing method became more and more in line with him.

That kind of deliberate operation is turning into a habit.

The outside world at this moment——

When Ji Jingqiu was practicing breathing techniques, his body, which was in deep sleep, began to breathe at a rhythm that matched the rhythm in his mind.

At first, his skin slowly turned red and his body temperature began to rise significantly.

Then, it felt like a mouse was jumping under the skin, and the heart rate rose sharply!

There was a violent beating of the chest——

Every beat seemed to cause the entire body to vibrate, starting from the skin, flesh, and bones, all of which were crackling, as if a trapped dragon was trying to break through the flesh and blood and break out...

In an instant, intense shortness of breath and palpitations followed, and my heart beat with a heavy pressure, as if it was about to explode at any time!
at this time.

A stream of scalding heat appeared out of nowhere in Ji Jingqiu's chest and abdomen, slowly and steadily spreading to his limbs and bones, calming everything.

Under the push of this powerful energy, the trapped dragon had to lower its head and lie dormant to survive.
