Volume 1: The Return of the Ancestor Chapter 3: Teaching the elixir and passing on the skills, making rapid progress
"Yeah." Su Yan responded again, and then said: "Get up and get ready to practice."
Wu Yue stood up in response, glanced at the extinguished fire, and said, "Master, are you hungry? I'll go catch a fish and grill it for you, okay?"
Su Yan was not hungry.
But he knew that the girl was probably hungry.
So he said, "You can go wash up, but don't go too far. Come back directly after washing up. I have food here."
Wu Yue was a little curious about where Su Yan got the food, but she was not the kind of naive girl who was ignorant of the world, so she did not ask any more questions. She just replied "yes" and walked out of the cave.
The storm had long passed and the island was shining brightly in the morning.
Wu Yue walked out of the cave, took a deep breath of the fresh air with a sea flavor, looked around, and was delighted to find a shallow pool not far away.
So she ran to the beach, found a big shell, and washed the mud off her body with sea water before coming to the shallow pool.
She first scooped up a large amount of shell water, then drank a few sips herself, and then carefully washed her face and body with clean water...
After a while, Wu Yue returned to the cave carrying the big shell.
She came to Su Yan and asked, "Master, would you like some water?"
Su Yan felt a little helpless when asked by the girl so attentively, but he still answered: "I don't need to eat or drink in my suspended animation."
"Oh." Wu Yue responded.
Then she glanced at Su Yan secretly and was about to ask where the food was when she saw two small white jade bottles suddenly appear on the ground in front of her.
The white jade bottle on the left has "Bigu Dan" written on it, and the white jade bottle on the right has "Peiyuan Dan" written on it.
Then Su Yan's voice sounded in her mind again.
"The Bigu Pill can replace food, so you don't have to worry about three meals a day. The Peiyuan Pill can nourish your essence and help you cultivate your true energy as quickly as possible. You can take one each and start practicing. You can sit cross-legged in front of me and ask me directly if you have any questions."
"Yes, Master."
In response, Wu Yue first poured out a fasting pill and looked at it curiously. It was a brown pill the size of a soybean without any smell, so he swallowed it.
Then she felt her hunger quickly ease.
Then, she took out another Peiyuan Pill, which was a white pill the size of a peanut. It was prettier than a pearl and emitted a faint fragrance that made her want to eat it as soon as she smelled it.
She put it in her mouth, intending to taste it, but she swallowed it involuntarily.
She got up again and drank some water, and then she felt her hunger disappear and even felt full.
Then a warm current started to spread from the lower abdomen to all parts of the body.
"Practice quickly!"
Hearing Su Yan's voice, Wu Yue came back to her senses, immediately sat cross-legged in front of Su Yan, and began to practice "Wuji Gong".
"Look." Wu Yue looked focused and got into a good state right from the start. Su Yan nodded with satisfaction.
But then he spent 300 achievement points in the mall and exchanged for a primary root bone upgrade, raising Wu Yue's root bone from 9 to 10.
In addition, he had just used 100 achievement points to exchange for the Bigu Pill and the Yuan Pei Pill, so only 900 points of the 1,400 achievement points he obtained after turning on the simulator were left.
In order to prevent any accidents, Su Yan kept these 900 achievement points for the time being and planned to observe Wu Yue's training progress first.
His aptitude was 10 and his comprehension was 8. Although he couldn't be called a martial arts genius, he was only below genius.
Coupled with the detailed and vivid explanation of Su Yan, the creator of "Wuji Gong" in his dream last night, Wu Yuedi's practice went very smoothly and he developed a sense of Qi on the same day.
This is a world full of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy seems to be rather weak.
The mainstream of martial arts is Qi training, which is mainly divided into three realms: acquired, innate, and virtual realm.
There are nine levels of acquired realm and seven levels of innate realm. As for the virtual realm, it exists only in legends and Su Yan does not know about it.
In fact, when he went out to sea to search for immortals, he was not looking for real immortals, but wanted to meet virtual realm warriors, or obtain the martial arts inheritance about virtual realm cultivation.
As for the warriors of the time, as far as Su Yan knew, some might not even reach the seventh level of the innate realm. It was because of this that the Void Realm became a legend.
In this context, postnatal cultivation cannot be said to be difficult, but it is definitely not easy either.
Su Yan's soul traveled through time and space, and it was not until he was twenty years old that he got the opportunity to start practicing.
His physique should be acceptable, which is one level lower than Wu Yue's. He was practicing a very ordinary technique at that time, and he had no elixir to help him, so it took him more than a month to develop a sense of Qi.
Wu Yueyi developed a sense of Qi that could only be compared to those martial arts geniuses.
Then, on the third night, Wu Yue developed true Qi, which was much faster than Su Yan had expected.
In martial arts training, developing a sense of qi is the first level of acquired martial arts.
However, the feeling of Qi is just a feeling, not true Qi, so one must use the feeling of Qi to refine essence and transform it into Qi in order to cultivate true Qi.
Once you develop the true Qi, it is equivalent to entering the second level of the acquired realm.
In other words, Wu Yue entered the second level of the acquired realm in just three days!
Thinking back, it took him more than three months to do it... He decided that Wu Yue must not know about this.
However, this also gave him a preliminary understanding of the efficacy of Peiyuan Dan - since it is produced by a simulator, it must be a high-quality product.
"Master, I have developed true Qi!"
Even though she was relatively precocious, after feeling the true energy in her dantian, Wu Yue also revealed her lively and romantic side.
Although Su Yan had known about it for a long time and was still very surprised, he just responded calmly at this time: "Yes, Master knows."
Wu Yue originally thought that she had cultivated true qi in three days, which was quite good. However, she heard Su Yan's indifferent tone, which seemed to indicate that he was not satisfied with her performance. She asked anxiously, "Master, am I practicing too slowly?"
After hearing this, Su Yan laughed in his heart: You’ve been fooled, right?
Then he continued to transmit his voice in a calm tone: "It's not slow. Compared with ordinary warriors, your training speed can be said to be very fast.
But you already have a good physique, and with my personal guidance and the help of elixirs like Pei Yuan Dan, you can cultivate your true Qi in three days... but it's just barely qualified."
After hearing this, the pride in Wu Yue's heart disappeared before it even emerged.
She was not discouraged, but was inspired to fight. She said immediately: "Disciple understands...Disciple will work harder to practice and not let Master down."
"Yes." Su Yan nodded in an impossible gesture. "Tonight, when I enter your dream, I will teach you a basic sword technique. You should be mentally prepared."
"Disciple remembers."
Su Yan would certainly not waste the opportunity to enter a dream every night. Counting from the first time he entered a dream, he has explained the "Wuji Gong" to Wu Yue for three consecutive nights, and he has basically mastered the first three levels of the acquired dream.
His main purpose in training Wu Yue was to enable Wu Yue to have the ability to send his body back to Wuji Dao as soon as possible.
This ability mainly refers to combat effectiveness, and to have combat effectiveness, one not only needs to cultivate internal strength well, but also cannot neglect martial arts.
He was able to be given the title of Wuji Sword Sect back then because he was naturally the best at swordsmanship. Cultivating Wu Yue's combat effectiveness began with teaching him swordsmanship.
The martial arts in this world are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow. Above the Heaven level there are magical powers, and below the Yellow level there are basic martial arts.
But this does not mean that basic martial arts are rubbish. On the contrary, in Su Yan's opinion, basic martial arts are quite important.
Because basic martial arts are not simply martial arts, they are often a set of movements that integrate body training, qi training, and spirit training. With diligent practice, you can both increase your internal strength and improve your combat effectiveness.
After he founded the Wuji Dao, he even set a rule that all Wuji Dao disciples must practice basic martial arts every day.
During the more than ten years that he stayed in the sect, every morning, dozens of disciples in white training uniforms would practice basic martial arts facing the rising sun in the Wuji Dao's training ground, which became a major sight of the Wuji Dao.
In order to improve Wu Yue's strength as quickly as possible, Su Yan put a lot of thought into which martial arts to teach her and in what order.
Considering that Wu Yue's qualifications include a description of "affinity with water", Su Yan taught her this set of basic swordsmanship called "Five Yin Swordsmanship"...
"Among the five Yangs, Bing is the most Yang, and among the five Yins, Gui is the most Yin."
"Among the ten Heavenly Stems, Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng, and Ren are Yang, and Bing Fire alone has the essence of Yang, making it the Yang among the Yang. Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, and Gui are Yin, and Gui Water alone has the essence of Yin, making it the Yin among the Yin..."
In the cave, Su Yan explained the essence of "Five Yin Sword Technique" to Wu Yue.
This is the tenth day since Wu Yue started practicing martial arts. In the past seven days, in addition to the "Five Yin Sword Technique", Su Yan taught Wu Yue two martial arts, one is the "Six-One Gui Step" and the other is the "Three Yin Palm".
"Liuyi Guibu" is a mysterious level body movement martial art that can be used in conjunction with various martial arts such as "Wuyin Sword Technique".
"Three Yin Palms" is also a Xuan-level martial art, but it is the initial application of true Qi. It is also quite simple to practice. One only needs to learn to transport the true Qi through the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian to the palms to hit people.
Of course, as a mysterious martial art, it has a lot of room for independent operation when it comes to the actual circulation of true Qi. How powerful it is depends on the level to which the martial artist has practiced this martial art.
In addition to practicing internal skills every day, Wu Yue also has to learn a basic sword technique and two martial arts, so his training progress inevitably slows down.
Therefore, she has not yet entered the third level of the acquired realm, and is still in the process of deepening her understanding of the Five Yin Sword Technique.
However, during morning exercises the next day, Wu Yue finally made a breakthrough. He transformed the true qi he had cultivated into a cyclone, which remained in his dantian, and he entered the third level of the acquired realm.
Seeing that Wu Yue reached the third level of the acquired realm so quickly, Su Yan felt that it was necessary to change the original plan.
"Based on your current rate of progress, you should be able to enter the fourth level of the acquired realm in half a month, or at the latest in a month.
By then, you should have mastered the "Five Yin Sword Techniques", "Six-One Gui Steps" and "Three Yin Palms" to a certain level, and you should have the ability to travel the world.
So, you should prepare to leave this deserted island now."
Although it was Wu Yue's first time to be stranded on a desert island , she was not an ignorant lady. After hearing this, she asked, "Master, do you want to build a raft?"
"Um."
"Then from today on, I will take some time to cut wood, bend straw ropes, and collect rattan."
Su Yan was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to know all this. In that case, I won't give you any more instructions. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
"yes."
…
Twenty-five days later.
A raft appeared on the beach of a deserted island.
