His courage increased his strength, and his strength in turn increased his courage. The two complemented each other.
He practiced all the way until dusk. He actually felt hungry again. He was still very skinny, completely unlike Li Hu and Li Bao who were plump and strong. Only he knew that the essence of the deer's flesh and blood was not wasted at all. All of it had been integrated into his body.
His body seemed to have become a bottomless pit, greedily digesting and absorbing all the wine and meat, transforming it into strands of energy.
After practicing, Li Qingshan sat on the ground again. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, feeling every change in his body. Pulling one's muscles and bones was an extremely painful thing. He still remembered the second day of practicing Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
Oxen didn't try to persuade him. He endured the pain and got up to practice. After persisting for more than ten days, he finally got a little better. No, it should be said that his endurance had become stronger. Logically speaking, after enduring the first few days, his body should have slowly adapted. However, the pain in his body didn't lessen at all. It was as if he had just started practicing every day.
Every change in his body was vividly reflected in his mind. It was a pity that he didn't feel the so-called Qi. According to Oxen, no matter what kind of magical art it was, as long as one could feel the flow of Qi and cultivate a strand of true Qi, then one could be considered to have crossed the threshold. However, his time of cultivation was still too short.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strand of coldness at the back of his neck like a gust of cold wind.
However, there was no wind at all, and it was even more impossible for there to be a cold wind.
"Could this be the so-called Qi?"
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. He focused all his attention on the coldness, but he gradually realized that the coldness was slowly invading his skin. It was getting deeper and deeper into his bones and even into his soul. It was extremely cold and made him very uncomfortable.
Li Qingshan shook his head and stood up to practice. The cold Qi dissipated a little, but as soon as he sat down, it clung to him again.
He didn't know what went wrong, so he went to the stream next to the hut to wash his body. The moonlight was bright that night. He looked into the stream and saw a pale-faced child clinging to him expressionlessly.
Even though he was quite courageous, he broke out in a cold sweat. This scene immediately reminded him of a movie called "The Grudge" in his previous life.
If Li Qingshan was an ordinary person, he would have been scared out of his wits. However, Li Qingshan had been with the ox demon for a long time. He looked at the child through the stream and saw that the child was no more than seven or eight years old and had a dull expression. Li Qingshan asked, "What are you? Why are you lying on me? "
However, the child only moved his head. At this time, the water surface rippled, and the reflection of the child disappeared. However, the cold and gloomy aura clearly remained.
Li Qingshan tried hard to calm his mind. "I've run into a ghost. I don't know why this little ghost is clinging to me. I can only wait for Brother Ox to come back and discuss it with him. Fortunately, it won't take my life for a while."
However, he didn't have much confidence. He only felt fear. The Yin Qi invaded him faster and faster. He hurriedly practiced "Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength" again. Only then would the cold Qi disappear. However, he wasn't a robot that didn't know fatigue. He had to sit down and rest. It was especially hard to bear.
Until the middle of the night, when the Yin Qi was the strongest.
The cold Qi had already invaded half of Li Qingshan's body. He didn't feel any obvious pain, but his limbs gradually became numb and his five senses became blurry.
An extreme sense of danger stimulated him to use all his brain power.
He heard that people had a Yang Qi in their bodies that could restrain Yin ghosts. He thought that when he practiced the fist, his blood vessels would expand. That was why the little ghost didn't dare to come close. Therefore, when he was meditating, he tried to simulate the feeling of practicing the fist. Closing his eyes, he mobilized his mind and contracted his muscles. It was indeed useful. He barely managed to resist the invasion of the Yin Qi.
He endured like this for an entire night. His mind was sometimes muddled and sometimes clear. He trained his willpower until his willpower was on the verge of collapse.
When the rooster crowed, the sky turned white. Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes. The sunlight shone on his face through the treetops. It was a little dazzling. The cold Qi on his body disappeared. Oxen was looking at him not far away. He looked very interested.
Li Qingshan said, "Brother Ox, where did you go? Do you know what I ran into last night?"
"I came back a long time ago. Wasn't it just a little ghost lying on top of you?"
"You just stood there and watched?"
"What else could I do?"
Li Qingshan twitched his mouth. He didn't say anything. Oxen had already told him that no matter what danger he was in, he shouldn't expect him to help. He didn't give him the chance to rely on him from the very beginning. He glanced at the yellow gazelle beside Oxen's feet. He couldn't say anything. Oxen had already provided him with the most important help. He couldn't rely on him for everything.
Basking in the warm morning sun, Li Qingshan stood up and stretched his body. "Luckily the little ghost didn't dare to come out during the day. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to hold on. Brother Ox, I have practiced the supernatural power of Daoism. Can't I deal with a little ghost? "
"If you didn't practice the supernatural power, you wouldn't have survived last night. When you have the strength of one ox, your body will be full of vigor. Naturally, you won't be afraid of this little ghost."
"Then I don't know how long I have to wait."
"Other than that, I have another idea."
"What idea?"
"Ghosts are most afraid of murderous aura and malevolent aura. If you have hundreds of human lives on your hands, you can guarantee that all evil will flee. The little ghost won't dare to come within ten steps of you."
Li Qingshan rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to slaughter the entire Crouching Ox village?"
"It's not impossible. What do you think? Do you want to try?" Oxen chuckled.
"Why don't I slaughter you and make steak first!" Li Qingshan ignored it. He dealt with the yellow gazelle and finished his breakfast. He put this matter behind him for now. Enduring the exhaustion in his body and mind, he focused on the day's cultivation.
However, as soon as he began cultivating, he felt that today was slightly different from usual. There was a thin strand of "Qi" flowing through his body. If he did not concentrate, he definitely would not be able to sense it.
The strand of Qi was not like the zhenqi described in wuxia novels, which was stored in the dantian and circulated along the meridians. Instead, it was flowing everywhere like a fish, swimming between his limbs and bones. When he swung his fists, the strand of Qi would flow to his arms and fists, but only for a moment.
As soon as he relaxed his mind, the strand of Qi would run away. Like a naughty child, it was almost out of his control. He told this situation to Oxen.
Oxen was not surprised. Instead, it said meaningfully, "You have to thank that little ghost for being able to sense the existence of Qi so quickly. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."
At the critical moment of life and death, Li Qingshan mobilized all of his spiritual will to resist the invasion of the Yin Qi. The little ghost had left, but this spiritual will remained, turning into a strand of zhenqi.
"So this is zhenqi?" Li Qingshan looked at his palm. "What is the use of this zhenqi?"
