Ruins of the past

After listening to Li Jian's reminder, Chu Qiguang knew that the other party was also doing it for his own good, so he nodded and said nothing, but it was impossible for him to stop practicing those martial arts.

After all, he has already reached the fifth realm. In addition to reading Buddhist scriptures and the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra... how can he improve his combat effectiveness without practicing a few martial arts?

What's more, the strengthening of the physical body can also promote the cultivation of the Sumeru King Sutra, allowing him to enter the Tao as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Chu Qiguang still plans to 'break through' to the fourth realm in at least one or two months. Otherwise, he has only been promoted to the third realm and he has broken through to the fourth realm in less than nine months... It is really too much. It's glaring.

After all, if you don't make a breakthrough, you will at most be criticized.

But if the breakthrough is too fast and arouses the curiosity of the emperor or the Taoist Martial Gods, and they come to investigate him then... it will greatly affect the pace of Chu Qiguang's development.

Now is the critical moment for him to accumulate strength, regardless of the Sumeru Mountain King's Scripture, Yaoyin Village, the Ring of Foolishness, Qiao Zhi, the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique... There are too many things in him that cannot be discovered by the court.

Therefore, Chu Qiguang would rather be spoken to a few more words than to 'break through' to the fourth realm too early.

What's more, Jiang Longyu, Chi Shude and others from the Suppressing Demon Division... in terms of their ability to troll, argue, and provoke others, they are far inferior to the netizens Chu Qiguang used to troll against when he was on Earth in his previous life.

It couldn't cause any disturbance in Chu Qiguang's heart.

'If I hadn't considered that I was still sick, I could have at least covered up the matter of breaking through the fourth realm until after I entered the Tao...'

However, in the face of Li Jian's reminder, Chu Qiguang definitely still agreed with him on the surface: "I know, I will work hard to improve my level."

…

In the martial arts class this afternoon, Chu Qiguang was practicing martial arts in the Jushi courtyard.

Suddenly his face turned pale, cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead, and his internal organs began to twitch.

Chu Qiguang held his stomach, looking troubled.

‘Alas... here we go again. ’

‘Why did I come here only two days ago? I was not prepared at all. ’

Chu Qiguang knew that he couldn't bear this thing, let alone hide his illness and avoid medical treatment.

He had no choice but to walk quickly towards the martial arts training ground, planning to grab any student and deal with it.

Along the way, Chu Qiguang felt more and more painful and irritable, and other problems also broke out.

He turned around and saw several gray-white deformed weirdos walking towards him with mucus flowing out.

"Compared with my illness... you all just have a cold at most..."

Tormented by his illness, Chu Qiguang rarely could control his emotions and passed through the hallucination while cursing.

Seeing Chu Qiguang's reaction, several deformed monsters seemed to be stunned for a moment, and finally slowly dissipated into the air.

As soon as he arrived at the martial arts training ground, his eyes were fixed on Cheng Ming and his group.

After all, he had been looking for the three of them whenever he needed in the past two months. When he saw them, Chu Qiguang's fist became hard.

"Cheng Ming, come here with me."

When they heard Chu Qiguang's slightly irritable voice, Cheng Ming and the others trembled instinctively.

Cheng Ming said angrily: "Chu Qiguang, are you done yet? Do you really think no one can cure you?"

Chu Qiguang's fist, which was plagued by illness, had subconsciously started to circulate blood, and he wanted to take action directly.

But when Chu Qiguang walked towards Cheng Ming, Chi Shude stood directly in front of Cheng Ming and the others.

He frowned slightly when he saw Chu Qiguang's seriously ill appearance, and said in a condescending manner: "Chu Qiguang, from today on, please don't take action against Cheng Ming and the others."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers slightly, and the finger power of the star-picking finger burst out with bursts of sound, and the airflow directly blew down the leaves more than ten meters away.

Chi Shude said calmly: "If you don't agree, then I can only teach you a small lesson."

Chi Shude had long been dissatisfied with Chu Qiguang, an untrustworthy person.

It's just that he was not Chu Qiguang's opponent in the past, so he could only endure it for the time being.

But now that he has entered the fourth realm, Chu Qiguang is still in the third realm. In his opinion, there is an absolute gap in strength between the two sides.

So when Cheng Ming came to him for help two days ago, he agreed immediately.

Things turned out as he expected. Seeing Chu Qiguang retreat and go to Zhang Haizhu to learn martial arts, Chi Shude sneered in his heart: 'So what if you are a prodigy in training? I am one level higher than you, so I can crush you to death. Even Dao Zun doesn’t believe it. Let me see how you can compete with me in the future...'

Chu Qiguang thought with great irritation: 'Chi Shude...come to stop me...come to hurt a sick patient of mine...I will remember you. "

At the same time, other students in the field also witnessed this scene. Most of them were followers of Taoist Xuanyuan. They were all gloating when they saw Chu Qiguang being forced to retreat.

"Sure enough, the martial arts realm is the most important. What's the use of Chu Qiguang spending so much time practicing Hunyuan Taiyi Qigong? Chi Shude crushed him as soon as he reached the fourth realm."

"Chu Qiguang is also distracted practicing other footwork. I don't know if he is stupid or crazy."

"If you don't believe that Dao Zun is still distracted and multitasking, look at how sick he is now... I don't necessarily think he is going to be possessed."

"Huh? I thought he had a stomachache..."

Zhang Haizhu on the other side was knocked to the ground by two or three moves from Chu Qiguang. He rubbed his sore palms and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chu, no matter how talented you are, you should practice less martial arts."

Chu Qiguang looked relieved after venting his anger and nodded: "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

As he said that, he pulled Zhang Haizhu up: "My share of the body refining ointment will be yours to use from now on, so just stay with me and learn more."

After being beaten a few times, Zhang Haizhu was naturally happy to agree to this.

…

In the following days, Chu Qiguang remained the same, not disrupting his own cultivation rhythm at all, and improving his knowledge and strength every day.

When he was studying in the big library that day, he suddenly sighed: "This "Thousand Buddha Sutras of the Past" is quite amazing. It is actually a Buddhist sutra for studying Buddhist sutras."

Lin Lan always looked at Chu Qiguang with admiration. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Studying Buddhist scriptures?"

"Well, the author of this book is a monk from the Xia Dynasty. He studied the effects of different Buddhist scriptures on different people, and also found a large number of common people to read Buddhist scriptures every day and observe their changes."

"He believes that in addition to changes in the mind, the most important thing about Buddhist scriptures is to exercise people's thinking ability. Different Buddhist scriptures will have an effect on different parts of the human brain, and it is a way to exercise the brain."

"But ordinary people's bodies are too weak, and the effect of exercising their brains is average."

There is something Chu Qiguang didn't say, that is, the author already has various concepts of experiments, variables, and controls.

Speaking of which, he found that many monks in the Xia Dynasty seemed to have this habit. Their attitude towards the study of martial arts and Taoism seemed to Chu Qiguang to be more scientific.

Lin Lan just stared at Chu Qiguang and said casually: "It's really interesting."

What Chu Qiguang was thinking was: "The Sumeru Mountain King Sutra requires reading Buddhist scriptures...does it just require brain power to lay the foundation?"

"Speaking of which, the fifth level of martial arts is to use Qi and blood to support the brain, so the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra requires the fifth level to truly practice. Is it also because of the brain?"

Lin Lan saw him reading seriously, his blue eyes curved into a crescent shape, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Chu."

"Um?"

"I've never seen anyone read as many books as you do. You're going to be a great person."

"Um."

Lin Lan suddenly screamed. She looked at Chu Qiguang today and forgot about the business: "Brother Chu, I found the book you asked me to find for you last time."

"It's the Book of Heaven, Book of Earth, Star Scripture, and Moon Chart you mentioned last time..."
