According to the old turtle, the martial arts techniques that Lu Fan had practiced before were so different from those in the world of cultivation that there was no comparison at all.
Before.
Lu Fan practiced the (Ba Dao Zhan) Tyrant Sword and (Lei Yin Quan) Thunder Echo Fist taught by Dong Wu. Relying on the spiritual power of the "Chang Qing Gong" Evergreen Skill, his practice speed was surprisingly fast.
But now that it was really time to learn the most basic technique in the world of cultivation (the art of controlling objects), Lu Fan discovered that the difference between the two was so huge.
It took Lu Fan nearly two days to get familiar with just the mental control.
However, Lu Fan was not discouraged.
What did he rely on to get to where he is today, from a poor kid who was starving to death in a mountain village?
It all depends on perseverance and not giving up.
So this little setback is nothing to Lu Fan.
Just practice.
Continuing to practice, on the third day, Lu Fan was finally able to skillfully use his mental power to control the spiritual power in his dantian in his abdomen.
But the old turtle said, this is just the beginning...
Next, you need to use spiritual power to control external objects, which is the threshold to truly master the art of controlling objects.
Because Lu Fan had just started practicing, the old turtle asked Lu Fan to experiment with the lightest objects.
As for the item, Lu Fan casually pulled out a piece of dry grass from the ground.
Dead grass is very light!
The old turtle said that Lu Fan would be considered successful only when he could completely control the movement of the dead grass.
Next, Lu Fan began to practice.
He mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian in his abdomen, transferred it to his fingertips, and then tried to control the dead grass.
But how could it be so easy to control things?
Lu Fan was unable to complete the continuous experiments.
However, all things are difficult at the beginning.
Lu Fan was not discouraged. When he was hungry, he ate ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. When he was thirsty, he drank the water from the magic gourd!
A day passed.
Two days passed.
On the third day, when Lu Fan mobilized his spiritual power and continued to control the dry grass with his fingertips, suddenly, wisps of white air visible to the naked eye emerged from Lu Fan's fingertips.
When this thread of air appeared, the dry grass on the table actually moved.
"Ha! It's moving! It's really moving!"
Lu Fan shouted excitedly.
Then Lu Fan hurriedly increased his spiritual power. As the spiritual power in his dantian gathered more and more, finally, the dry grass on the table slowly floated up as Lu Fan's fingertips moved.
But because it was the first time, the dry grass floating in the air was wobbly and not stable at all!
But even so, Lu Fan was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Old turtle... come out and see! I can control the dead grass!"
Lu Fan spoke excitedly while shouting "Old Turtle".
When the old turtle in Lu Fan's sea of consciousness saw that the withered grass was truly under Lu Fan's control, he said calmly, "For a mortal without immortal roots, you've achieved this in just a few days. You're already quite impressive! Keep practicing."
I thought the old turtle would praise me, but unexpectedly, he said this.
But Lu Fan was not angry.
Continue to practice.
On the fifth day, Lu Fan was finally able to control the grass at will.
In the cave, a small grass (Xiaocao) moved with Lu Fan's fingers and floated freely in front of him.
Lu Fan asked Xiaocao to go up, and it went up!
Lu Fan told Xiaocao to grow, and it did!
Looking at the grass controlled by his fingertips, Lu Fan's face was full of joy.
but.
During these few days of practice, Lu Fan discovered that when he used the art of controlling objects, the spiritual energy in his body would be consumed very quickly!
Just like the golden ripples in his pupils, they both consume a lot of spiritual energy!
"No wonder the old turtle said that the stronger your cultivation, the more you can truly grasp the essence of the art of controlling objects!"
"It turns out that all this depends on one's own spiritual power!"
Next, Lu Fan continued to practice.
Now that the lighter grass could be controlled, Lu Fan replaced it with a wooden stick.
Because the wooden stick was much heavier than the grass, Lu Fan began his difficult journey of cultivation again.
…
City God Temple.
Ever since Lu Fan started practicing the art of controlling objects in the cave, the others have been busy with their own things.
Although the New Year has already passed.
But the weather showed no signs of warming up, instead it was getting colder.
"Have you heard? It seems everyone in the nearby Niujia Village has starved to death."
Lu's Manor, outskirts.
In the reclaimed wasteland, a laborer was bending over to plant vegetables while talking to another person beside him.
"I've heard it too. Not only Niujia Village, but everyone in the surrounding villages seems to have starved to death!"
"Tsk, what are you doing? I heard that many people have started to rebel because they are too hungry!"
"Rebellion? Is that true?"
"Of course it's true! Do you know Gaojiagou? The villagers there have rebelled. It is said that they even attacked Qingyang Town a while ago and many people died!"
"Ah? So powerful? Doesn't the imperial court care?"
"Who cares? People are almost starving to death. If it were you, would you rebel?"
Ku Gong's words instantly silenced everyone present.
yes!
People are almost starving to death, who cares about rebellion and the law?
"Hey! Liuzi is right! If we hadn't had the young master's protection, we would have starved to death long ago!"
"Yes, yes! Speaking of which, all this is thanks to our young master."
The other laborers also sighed.
Just as these laborers were chatting, a panicked voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Oh no! Someone is trying to break into our young master's manor and steal the food!"
When this voice came, the laborers who were working were stunned.
Coming to steal food again?
"Hurry up and grab your stuff, and go out and take a look!"
After the laborers realized what was happening, they immediately picked up their hoes and sticks and ran towards the gate of the City God Temple's mountain wall.
There is a wall surrounding the mountain.
Just see.
Wang Dayong, holding a big knife, was standing there majestically with more than a hundred guards.
Ever since Lu Fan organized the guard team, these laborers have been practicing swordsmanship and martial arts with Dong Wu.
These hard labors are no longer what they used to be!
At the front of these laborers was Dong Wu, carrying a tiger-head knife.
"Damn it! Today, I want to see who dares to steal Lu's things."
"Someone, open the door for me!"
Dong Wu gave the order at this time.
"But Mr. Dong, the young master is still in seclusion. Wouldn't it be a bad idea if we open the door like this?" Wang Dayong said at this time.
Lu Fan had said before that regarding the City God Temple, no one except his sister was allowed to get within a hundred steps.
Including Dong Wu and Wang Dayong!
Now seeing that Dong Wu was about to open the door, Wang Dayong felt something was wrong.
But Dong Wu said, "What are you afraid of? Since Lu is busy in seclusion, we should help him share some of the work! Come on, open the door for me!"
Seeing that Dong Wu was about to open the door, Wang Dayong didn't say much in the end.
I haven't seen such a shameless fellow who has come thus far and hasn't written a review.
