I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 380: Different Paths to the Same Destination, Opening the Door to the Tao
"Tai Chi is born from the Wuji, the mechanism of movement and stillness, and the mother of Yin and Yang."

"When in motion, they separate; when in stillness, they unite. Neither too much nor too little, they follow the curve and stretch."

"When the other person is strong and I am weak, it is called running; when I follow the other person's back, it is called sticking. If the other person moves quickly, I will respond quickly; if the other person moves slowly, I will follow slowly."

“Although things are changing in countless ways, the principle remains the same!”

In an open space on the back mountain of the college, Li Qingxuan held a book in his hand and kept muttering to himself.

The next moment, his body began to move with the wind, constantly wandering around.

When walking, his steps are light and steady, and he can move forward and backward freely.

As time passed, his movements became faster and faster.

Until finally, an afterimage seemed to have formed on the open space.

After a long time, Li Qingxuan finally stopped.

A low murmur came out of his mouth.

“It actually works!”

Just as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Success for what?"

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw Xia Yuan standing in front of me without knowing when.

"Fellow Daoist Xia!"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded, then continued:
"Master, were you practicing martial arts just now?"

Li Qingxuan nodded.

"Yes, this is a brand new martial art I created based on the concepts of Tai Chi Yin and Yang."

Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows.

As Tai Chi is an important part of Taoism, it is normal that Li Qingxuan is very proficient in it.

But no one expected that he would actually comprehend a completely new martial art through this.

What a genius!
"Well, but I'm just getting started. I've only applied it to my physical skills. I'm also planning to create a sword technique that can be both offensive and defensive based on this."

During this period, Li Qingxuan read countless martial arts and Taoist books, just wanting to create a systematic martial arts.

The footwork just performed was just a preparation for creating the sword technique later.

Now with the success of the first step, he already has ideas for the follow-up.

"Master, you are so talented!"

Xia Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan smiled bitterly.

"Fellow Taoist, you are too praised!"

"I mainly want to use this method to increase my understanding of Tai Chi, so as to see if I can create subsequent exercises based on Tai Chi."

That’s right, whether it’s creating identity martial arts or swordsmanship, Li Qingxuan’s ultimate goal is to be able to deduce subsequent skills.

He actually had no idea what to do next.

So you can only start from the area you are most familiar with.

There is no other way.

After all, it is difficult for people to think of things beyond their own cognition.

He wanted to see if he could activate the source of energy through Tai Chi practice.

As for the specific methods of tempering his body, he will need to find inspiration from the awakening method!

Of course, this first step is the most important.

If the first step cannot be successful, then knowing how to use source energy to temper the body will be meaningless.

After hearing Li Qingxuan's explanation, Xia Yuan was stunned.

Originally, he was planning to tell Li Qingxuan the method he found from the awakening method, but he didn't expect that he already had a direction.

In that case, is there any need to tell him about my discovery?
"Forget it, let Taoist Li try it himself first. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to talk to him later."

Soon, Xia Yuan made a decision.

As for how to incorporate source energy into the body, you don’t necessarily have to look for the answer in the awakening method.

If other ways can be found, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the human race.

After all, this is what the human race has realized now.

As he said before, walking your own path is always better than walking other people's path.

It may even officially open the door for modern humans to embark on the path of transcendence.

Since Tai Chi can be used to achieve enlightenment, other methods are also possible.

Moreover, there is no fixed way to practice after transcending the mortal realm.

To put it bluntly, as long as it can improve physical strength and mental power, any method will do.

Who stipulated that one must first temper the internal organs, just like when exercising the body, and then drive the transformation of the body?

No one says that the training methods for transcendence and body building are exactly the same.

Therefore, there are infinite possibilities waiting for them to try in the future.

Anyway, what he has the most now is time, and Li Qingxuan has enough time to study.

Of course, the premise of everything is ultimate success.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan decided to give a reminder.

"Master, there may be many ways to draw source energy."

"But no matter what, mental power is indispensable. If you want to attract source energy, you must rely on mental power."

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan was stunned.

But he soon fell into deep thought.

Mental strength?
He suddenly remembered the time when he had just realized Tai Chi.

At that time, he was in a state of complete body movement following his heart.

At that time, his perception of the outside world could be said to be entirely based on mental power.

Not only that, when he used the awakening method to temper his body, he also used his mind to guide the practice.

In that state, the mind can clearly sense the route of the exercises.

Therefore, all of this requires a high degree of concentration of mental strength to achieve.

In this case, as long as he can comprehend the law of "Qi" from Tai Chi Yin and Yang, he will be able to create subsequent exercises.

Li Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

In Taoist theory, "Qi" is the source of energy, and by manipulating "Qi" through Tai Chi, it is not impossible to achieve the goal of tempering the physical body.

In that way, his strength can continue to improve.

Tai Chi emphasizes the mutual generation and restraint of yin and yang, and their coexistence.

If we can guide the source energy to flow through the body through the softness and hardness of Tai Chi, can we achieve balance?
Li Qingxuan kept muttering.

"Yin and Yang complement each other, movement and stillness complement each other, Tai Chi originates from Taoism, and heaven and man are one"

After a moment, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha"

"That's it, that's it"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I think I have a direction now!"

Seeing Li Qingxuan's crazy look, Xia Yuan's mouth twitched.

Could this be a disease?
Fortunately, his expression did not last long, which made Xia Yuan feel relieved.

"Fellow Daoist, did you come to see me because you have something to tell me?"

"Oh, nothing."

Xia Yuan shook his head. He was indeed busy originally, but now it seemed that he was no longer needed!

I guess even if I tell Li Qingxuan how to draw source energy now, he probably won't accept it.

But then he asked curiously:

"Why are there only 19 students in the academy now?"

This was what he discovered when he was casually exploring just now, so he asked casually.

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"One person died during his first practice!"

"Ok?"

Xia Yuan looked stunned.

No way, these people are top talents selected from all over the world.

How could he die on his first attempt at cultivation? Seeing this, Li Qingxuan had no choice but to explain the whole thing.

"So that's it!"

Xia Yuan nodded but didn't say anything.

Since you have started practicing, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

"By the way, are the academy's source crystals and other resources sufficient?"

"It's enough. There are still plenty. So far, only less than thirty have been consumed."

Although this group of geniuses practiced quickly, their energy consumption was far less than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, the amount of source crystals consumed is not large.

As for the consumption of extraordinary potions, it is even less.

There are a total of 1500 bottles of origin potion, and only 17 bottles have been consumed so far.

As for the bottle of mental power potion, only one bottle was consumed.

Currently, no one except Hua Changfeng can redeem this thing.

However, as more and more people follow, the consumption of medicine will definitely increase.

Therefore, Xia Yuan came out of seclusion this time mainly to transplant the spiritual plants in the laboratory to the college for planting.

A large open space in the academy is specially prepared for growing spiritual plants.

By then, when the spiritual plants begin to be planted, this group of students will have the simplest tasks to take on!

After all, with such a large area of ​​spiritual plants, it is definitely impossible for just a few people from the Science and Technology College to handle it.

"I guess the research base should have already prepared the spiritual plant seedlings!"

After returning from Yuexing, Xia Yuan left 500 source crystals for them to cultivate spiritual plants.

More than half of them are dragon blood trees and wintergrass.

After all, this thing is of the greatest use to him.

Therefore, half of the 7,000 acres of vacant land will be planted with these two spiritual plants.

Of course, since these two plants have a greater impact on the environment, they are planted in the most marginal areas to avoid affecting other spiritual plants.

In fact, the two spiritual plants, dragon blood tree and winter rubescens, are not something that ordinary people can take care of.

Take the dragon blood tree as an example. Once its growth cycle exceeds eight months, the temperature of its surface will reach over 60 degrees.

Ordinary people will definitely get burned if they don’t wear protective clothing.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for some spiritual plants with special properties to be cared for by extraordinary people.

But under normal circumstances, there is no need to take care of these spiritual plants.

You just need to pay attention to the growth at all times and then adjust the source energy concentration.

According to Hua Changfeng's proposal, this task is a long-term task and is not difficult.

So you don’t need to give too many contribution points.

After all, it doesn’t take much time and won’t affect your practice.

At most, it will just take some time during the initial planting and the final harvest.

Of course, the specific contribution points still need to be determined based on the number of acres planted.

This can be determined after the planting starts.

"Then Taoist priest, please practice first, I won't disturb you!"

Seeing that Li Qingxuan looked like he wanted to get into cultivation quickly, Xia Yuan shook his head speechlessly.

So he simply didn't stay any longer.

……

After saying goodbye to Li Qingxuan, Xia Yuan first went to the residence of Qingyue and others to see how they were doing in their cultivation.

Among the crowd, Feng Yuanshan is undoubtedly the one with the highest realm.

He has reached the fifth level, eighth stage of body forging.

However, his cultivation speed was not fast. It took him nearly fifty days to break through from the seventh level to the eighth level.

Moreover, after reaching the eighth level, his cultivation speed became even slower.

There is no way around it. As the brain is tempered to the end, the requirements for mental strength become higher and higher.

It takes him several hours to complete each tempering, and not every tempering is successful.

This is caused by insufficient mental strength.

However, if he had mental potions to help him recover, his speed should be much faster.

But now there are very few mental power potions, so we can't be so extravagant.

This is why Xia Yuan can’t wait to plant spiritual plants on a large scale!
In addition to Feng Yuanshan, Wang Hai and others also reached the seventh level of the fifth level of body forging.

The progress of their cultivation is similar.

However, Tang Ping's cultivation progress has caught up with several people.

His mental strength seems to be slightly stronger than Wang Hai and others.

As for Lin Feng, he also reached the fifth level and sixth stage of body forging.

Only Li Tianyi was a little slower.

Since he wasted a long time at the fourth level of Body Tempering, he has just reached the fifth level of Body Tempering, level five.

And Qingyue, she has the fastest cultivation speed among everyone.

It has only been fifty days since she last broke through the fifth level of body forging, and her current realm has reached the sixth level of the fifth level of body forging.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will most likely surpass Feng Yuanshan and become the first person to set foot in the innate realm.

Seeing her powerful talent, Xia Yuan thought for a moment and took out 10 bottles of mental power potion and gave them to her.

Qingyue’s current problem is not that her mental strength is not strong enough. Unlike others, she lacks the means to recover quickly.

"Take out these potions and try to reach the innate state as soon as possible."

But when faced with the medicine that Xia Yuan took out, Qingyue shook her head and chose not to take it.

"No need. My current training speed is already very fast. There is no need to train even faster."

"I want to take advantage of this time to comprehend the awakening method, try to deduce the subsequent path, and practice martial arts."

Due to her physical limitations, her foundation is relatively weak compared to others.

Moreover, she had not practiced martial arts much before, so she had almost spent all this time on controlling her body.

Qingyue definitely has the most knowledge among everyone.

The books she has read and the fields she has covered are countless.

In fact, Qingyue's understanding of cultivation has definitely surpassed Feng Yuanshan and others.

She is the only one who has the leisure and elegance to deduce the subsequent path, while everyone else is spending their time on cultivation.

But I don’t know if it’s a coincidence.

She also found the same path as Li Qingxuan.

But what she chose was not Tai Chi Yin and Yang, but the way of practicing Qi.

This idea originated from the martial arts book that was previously unearthed from Kunlun Mountain.

She planned to try to guide the source energy into her body through a breathing method.

Tao follows nature.

The mysteries of the Tao are hidden in every breath of heaven and earth.

Only those with the purest hearts and closest to nature can choose to use this method.

And coincidentally, Qingyue is one of them.

Her thoughts are extremely insightful, and her whole person is as calm as water.

In Xia Yuan's opinion, people like Qingyue are really too perfect.

Or in other words, they are people who are born solely for the pursuit of truth.

Many times, Xia Yuan felt inferior in front of her.

That has nothing to do with strength.

It's all about personal charm.

That's why Xia Yuan would deliberately tease her again and again.

Only at this time would Xia Yuan feel that Qingyue was a person!

"Perhaps, in the future, she will reach heights that I can hardly imagine."

Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly.

If he were to say who he had the most confidence in, it was neither the geniuses outside nor Li Qingxuan.

But the clear moon before my eyes.
