Seeing Yi Yun being the first to do as he said, Zhang Yuxian nodded in satisfaction.
But the others did not think so. Zhao Tiezhu watched Yi Yun eat the tree and sneered in his heart. Could wood be eaten so easily?
Let's see if you don't die from bloating.
People would eat grass roots and tree bark in times of famine, but it was unheard of to eat wood, especially wood that had not been cooked.
Other than termites and moths, few animals in the world could eat wood directly. The wood fibers in the wood could not be digested by their stomachs.
"Go, dig up some Guanyin clay!"
Zhang Yuxian instructed. Guanyin clay was talcum powder. The reason why it was called Guanyin clay was because in times of famine, people looked to Guanyin Bodhisattva to save their lives. This talcum powder could satisfy their hunger, so it was named Guanyin.
But in fact, Guanyin clay was a poison that penetrated the intestines. It was fine if you ate a little, but if you ate too much, it could not be digested and could not be excreted, resulting in death from bloating.
Coincidentally, the Lian tribal clan had it. Some people might wonder why people would eat Guanyin clay if they knew it could kill them.
Firstly, it was because some people were ignorant. They thought that as long as they were sincere and prayed to Guanyin to save the world, they would not die.
The second reason was that the taste of Guanyin clay was much better than tree bark and grass roots. Whether it was the appearance or the taste, it was very similar to flour. When people were extremely hungry, they couldn't resist the temptation. If they accidentally ate too much, they would die from bloating.
The Guanyin clay was dug up and piled up in a large pile.
The Guanyin clay was brought over by the people. Yi Yun and company were cultivating while the people of the Lian tribal clan watched.
Seeing the people of the warrior preparation camp eat the Guanyin clay, the people of the Lian tribal clan were shocked. It was fine to eat a little of the Guanyin clay, but to eat such a large pile, it was unbelievable.
"Let's begin."
Zhang Yuxian said lightly. Yi Yun did not hesitate and ate the Guanyin clay. It did not have any special taste, but it was a little greasy.
The Guanyin clay was at least easier to swallow than wood.
How could the people of the warrior preparation camp be convinced that they had lost to a trash like Yi Yun?
They bit the bullet and began to eat.
They thought that Zhang Yuxian couldn't harm them. Although these things tasted bad, for the sake of cultivation, they could only grit their teeth and endure it!
However, just as this thought flashed through their minds, Zhang Yuxian's words shattered their illusions. "The Elephant Swallowing Art is not so easy to learn. Many people swallow the Guanyin clay to learn the Elephant Swallowing Art. In the end, they fail to learn it and die from bloating."
"What!?"
Hearing Zhang Yuxian's words, the warrior preparation camp members, who had just mustered their courage, became deflated like a balloon.
After eating the wood and Guanyin clay, if he could not learn the Elephant Swallowing Art, he would still die!
It turned out that learning this move would cause one to die. They had thought that they would just suffer a little, but their lives would not be in danger. In the end, it turned out that they had thought too much!
Seeing the expressions of Zhao Tiezhu and the others, Zhang Yuxian looked at them with disdain. "Do you think that practicing martial arts is treating others to a meal? That you can learn peerless martial arts just by eating and laughing?"
"When a martial artist practices martial arts, he must be prepared to face death at any moment! Even if the Jin Long Wei members were cultivating normally, there would still be deaths! Without pushing his body to its limits, how can he break through!? "
"On the path of martial arts, entering mystic realms, encountering enemies, fighting for treasures, overcoming mental demons, reclusive training, and undergoing Heavenly Tribulations! Which of these won't result in death? This is just the beginning. If you don't even have the guts to eat the Guanyin clay, then don't practice martial arts. Just die of old age in the vast wilderness! "
Zhang Yuxian did not force these people. He did not even mention how much Guanyin clay and wood was suitable for beginners to eat.
How much you ate depended on your guts.
The members of the warrior preparation camp looked at each other and unknowingly slowed down their eating speed.
As for Yi Yun, he paused and remained silent for a while before eating at a steady pace. He was not affected at all.
Zhang Yuxian noticed Yi Yun and nodded once again. Just this courage alone was not easy to achieve.
As for Zhao Tiezhu and company, they naturally noticed Yi Yun eating the wood and Guanyin clay without any regard for his life. Zhao Tiezhu said maliciously, "This little bastard. He's showing off now, but he'll die from bloating!"
"Don't bother with a fool. Brother Zhao, we are still beginners, so let's eat less. Half a pound … No, three ounces should be enough …"
A few members of the warrior preparation camp carefully weighed their portions and ate bit by bit. They were like greedy children who had received a piece of delicious cake, but could not bear to eat it in one bite.
"Brother Zhao, don't bite off more than you can chew. We will do it step by step. This time, we brothers will do it steadily and let Lord Zhang see our martial arts talent! How can we lose to a little kid!? "
The men of the warrior preparation camp were holding their breaths. Previously, Zhang Yuxian had looked down on them. His words implied that he could not find anyone, so he had no choice but to use them to make up the numbers.
They had acknowledged this point, but Zhang Yuxian had highly praised the sickly Yi Yun. How could they be convinced!?
They had thought that they could lift a stone roller while practicing martial arts with Zhang Yuxian. This was their forte. They could show off and easily crush Yi Yun. It was a great idea.
But no one expected that the training would be to eat trees!
It was like thunder!
"Isn't it just eating trees and Guanyin clay? What's there to be afraid of? Brothers, eat! Crushing a little chick like Yi Yun will be child's play. "
The more Zhao Tiezhu thought about it, the angrier he became. The men did not dare to eat, but he wanted to eat more. He did not believe he could not master the Elephant Swallowing Technique.
At this time, Yi Yun had unhurriedly eaten more than a pound of Guanyin clay. The Guanyin clay swelled in his stomach. It felt like his stomach was stuffed with lead, and it kept sinking.
Yi Yun's stomach began to hurt.
This pain was not obvious at the beginning, but it would become more and more intense, until he died from the pain.
At this time, a voice rang in Yi Yun's ear, "Follow me and do these twelve actions."
Yi Yun looked up and saw Zhang Yuxian standing in front of the crowd. His eyes were on him, and he had a smile of encouragement.
Then, Zhang Yuxian moved.
It was hard to describe what Zhang Yuxian's actions were. His figure suddenly became blurry, as if he was standing in a different dimension, cut off from the outside world.
He demonstrated one movement after another. Every movement was extremely strange, but when they were linked together, it gave people a feeling of floating clouds and flowing water.
Zhang Yuxian's speed seemed to be fast and slow, as if it contained an indescribable charm.
These actions were clearly seen in people's eyes, but it was like an illusion in a dream.
Dream …
Yi Yun suddenly had this thought. Looking at Zhang Yuxian's actions, he felt like he was in a dream.
When people dream, many of the things they see and say in their dreams are very real and very clear.
You can even say witty things in your dreams, and write beautiful poems.
Even you feel that your literary talent in your dreams is great, but you can't remember what you wrote or what you said.
When you wake up, you forget everything.
Now, seeing Zhang Yuxian's actions, Yi Yun had this strange thought.
Was this "Elephant Swallowing Technique" really just a basic cultivation technique? Why did it feel more amazing than the "Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist"?
Yi Yun found it hard to imagine.
At this time, Zhang Yuxian had stopped. Although he could not remember many of the actions clearly, Yi Yun knew that Zhang Yuxian had done this set of actions three times!
"Alright, these are the twelve actions of the Elephant Swallowing Technique. Follow them. By doing these actions, your Elephant Swallowing Technique will have a small success. Digesting some Guanyin clay will not be a problem."
Wh … What?
Hearing Zhang Yuxian's words, Zhao Tiezhu and company stared at each other!
What did Zhang Yuxian do?
They felt their eyes blur. Zhang Yuxian's body swayed, and a bunch of afterimages appeared before he stood back up.
Some of them even wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them just now, as if they were seeing double.
They did not understand the situation. How could it be possible to follow Zhang Yuxian's actions!?
"Is there a problem?"
Zhang Yuxian asked seeing the ugly expressions of the people in the warrior preparation camp.
"There's … There's a problem …" Zhao Tiezhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with difficulty, "If … If we can't learn your … your actions, then what about the Guanyin clay and wood we ate, what … what do we do?"
Zhao Tiezhu felt hopeless. It was so complicated that he could not even understand it. In three days, he would not be able to learn it no matter what!
"Oh?" Zhang Yuxian frowned. He could not be bothered with Zhao Tiezhu's idiotic question. He said impatiently, "When you go to the toilet, use your fingers or a bamboo stick. You might not die. Remember not to drink water."
After Zhang Yuxian said this, Zhao Tiezhu and company felt like they had swallowed a pound of feces, the kind that had been fermenting in their stomachs for days.
