In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 36 Blocked

Bai Ruhui said, "Abundant essence and energy do not necessarily mean stable essence and energy."

"As the saying goes: All things must be gathered up with vitality and spirit, and must be carefully kept hidden and not leaked."

"Your situation is not uncommon; many prodigies encounter similar problems. The solution is quite simple,"

"Breaking through the first barrier of the physical body—the barrier of preserving essence—can make one's own qi and blood secure and leak-free, so that stubborn monkey will naturally have difficulty stealing your essence."

After that, new challenges will arise.

Bai Ruhui didn't say this aloud; it wasn't the right time, and there was no need.

Spiritual practice is a process of overcoming one difficulty after another; proceeding step by step is the right path.

We live in a great era now, with the paths already paved by our predecessors laid out before us.

Bai Ruhui continued, "Besides your insufficient physical cultivation, you have another difficulty compared to ordinary people, which is that your mental cultivation is too strong, like water overflowing when it is full."

"When a person cultivates their nature and life force, the restless mind can naturally steal from them; it steals essence and vital energy to strengthen the body, and steals spirit and mental energy to strengthen the spirit."

"The energy consumed by the six senses, though varied and superfluous, is still part of the spirit,"

"You have already become a conscious being, which is a good thing in itself, but precisely because of this, the consumption of the six senses is far greater than that of ordinary people, causing the mind to progress even faster."

"The most urgent task is to accelerate physical cultivation and slow down spiritual cultivation."

"Once the first barrier of the physical body is broken through, and the essence and energy are firmly stored without leakage, the problem will naturally be solved."

"But breaking through the barrier is not something that can be achieved overnight. There is a way that can address the symptoms."

Xie Lingxin's eyes lit up: "What is it?"

"You can go and ask Captain Jin for advice and learn a martial arts style to consume excess energy, reduce leakage, and prevent it from being stolen by your restless mind."

Xie Lingxin suddenly realized.

It turned out to be the case.

This has nothing to do with any particular method, but rather with the experience gained through spiritual practice.

Even if I had supernatural powers, I would have nowhere to use them.

Xie Lingxin asked curiously, "Teacher Bai, is my sister's boxing skill very good?"

His use of the word "sister" made Bai Ruhui's face twitch slightly, and she gave him a strange look.

This kid...

"More than just impressive."

Bai Ruhui shook his head and sighed repeatedly, but did not say how powerful he was.

Xie Lingxin leaned closer: "Teacher Bai, do you know how? Could you teach me?"

His mindset towards Jin Su was to secretly become stronger and then amaze her.

So I don't really want to bother her in this regard.

As for Bai Ruhui, he'd learn whatever he could, otherwise he'd be bankrupt from losing three million.

"..."

Bai Ruhui thought that if it were someone else, he would have kicked them out.

But his "sister" is really someone you can't mess with.

He shook his head and said, "You are not a disciple of my Nanhe Wudang sect. Although I am also skilled in martial arts, I cannot teach you. You should go back and ask Captain Jin for guidance."

"Besides, my martial arts style doesn't have legendary power. Even if you learn it, it's just ordinary techniques. It can strengthen your body, but it's impossible to make a name for yourself in it."

“Unlike Captain Jin, her boxing style follows the ancient method of physical immortality, so her need for legendary power is not so urgent or necessary.”

Actually, I'd like to teach you; then you'd be my Wudang disciple.

Unfortunately, I can't afford to offend your "older sister," and I dare not teach her.

"OK then."

Xie Lingxin was unaware of his thoughts.

The only disappointment about not being able to learn martial arts was that it was a loss if you didn't make a profit.

After understanding the root of his doubts in his cultivation, he felt relieved.

Breaking through the first barrier of the physical body—I don't know how long it will take for others, but for me, it will only take a month or two at most.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

Old Bai, if you don't teach me now, wait until I've completed my mountain-building process, and I'll learn your family's most treasured Yin Thunder techniques!

Bai Ruhui said, "Alright, now that you're here, I'll tell you about the key points of cultivating the Mountain-Carrying Diagram."

Xie Lingxin naturally couldn't ask for it more.

Although he possessed unobstructed knowledge of all dharmas, Bai Ruhui's lectures were often interspersed with his own spiritual experiences, which he found even more valuable.

And three million...

One spoke with dedication, and the other listened with appreciation; it was a true teacher-student relationship.

Xie Lingxin didn't say goodbye to Bai Ruhui until evening. She went downstairs to tease Tian Tiantian a bit more and even got a free meal before finally going home satisfied.

After that, Xie Lingxin continued as usual.

Every day, I go back and forth between the Environmental Protection Bureau and Building No. 86, a very simple routine.

He spent his days practicing spirituality, reading books, and studying the knowledge of Buddhist scriptures, leading a very fulfilling life.

Jin Su remained elusive, even more so than before.

The matter of deciphering the ancient scriptures on his own seems to have faded into obscurity.

For him, the only noticeable change was that people were moving away from Leigong Village every day.

The same goes for Building 86; the number of familiar neighbors is decreasing day by day.

However, many unfamiliar faces are appearing day by day.

These people in Leigong Village do nothing but wander around like vagrants.

But each of them was dressed in rich and noble clothes, and you could tell at a glance that they didn't live in the urban village.

Xie Lingxin knew that these people must all be cultivators.

He learned from Jiang Daqiu how to log in to the Cultivation Edition of Baishitong.

Even when using the same platform, the internet access here offers different content, including a wealth of information not typically found on other networks.

Here, he saw many practitioners discussing Tonggu Bay.

The rumor that the realm of Tonggu Bay is collapsing has been widely circulated on social media platforms, particularly on the cultivation version of the All-Knowing platform.

Many people are asking about the coordinates of the domain, and some are even offering high rewards.

Many more related bounty missions have appeared in the mission hall.

The prices offered kept getting higher and higher, making Xie Lingxin extremely envious.

It was only with great difficulty that I managed to restrain myself from betraying the information.

The immediate benefits were tempting, but he knew that the value of the legendary realm was the greatest; otherwise, people wouldn't be so crazy about it.

The fact that they are willing to pay such a high price means that they believe they can earn back ten or even a hundred times more.

Without the Environmental Protection Bureau, even if one could enter the domain, there would be no way to excavate it.

Clinging to the Environmental Protection Bureau is the right way to go.

In this increasingly tense atmosphere, Xie Lingxin chose to believe Jin Su, even though she had not contacted her and she rarely saw her anymore.

Go to work and practice with peace of mind.

His cultivation is steadily improving.

[Basic Concept: 1/1]

【Mountain strength: 0.88/1 (+0.70↑)】

[Sex: 2.49/10 (+0.30↑)]

[Life: 0.24/1 (+0.18↑)]

Ten days have passed, and the mountain-carrying momentum is not far from "1". At most, it will be completed in two more days, and the other half of the "carrying thunder" method of the "mountain-carrying thunder diagram" will be obtained.

But on that day, an unexpected event occurred first.

I had just returned to Leigong Village after get off work when I was blocked by someone at the corner of the alley outside Building 86.

"Xie Lingxin?"

A man in his early twenties, looking rather sleazy, leaned against a wall on the side of the street with his arms crossed.

Xie Lingxin glanced at his heavily tattooed arms and immediately guessed what was going on.

"Is something wrong?"

"Sign this."

Iron Mudfish tossed a file over.

Xie Lingxin caught it and glanced at it: "Did Old Xie send you?"

Iron Mudfish cursed, "Kid, you have no manners! Don't forget your surname is Xie, that's your elder!"

"Take it back, I won't sign it."

Xie Lingxin was too lazy to talk to him and threw the contract back.

Iron Loach sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You must have found out about this from somewhere, just like the Ma family, right?"

"Trying to bypass us and sign with Thunder Group? Don't you even know who you are? You think you're worthy?"

"To tell you the truth, this job was assigned by the Thunder Group,"

"Those conditions are for the big shots in the city. You really think they're for poor bastards like you?"
