In the middle section of Qingshi Road in Beilin, Ning Yuan practiced cross-legged for two hours, and found that his body seemed to have adapted to the current pressure, so he scattered the impurities from his body with internal energy, got up and walked forward again.

After three steps, Ning Yuan frowned. The noise in the consciousness that had originally felt a little irritability suddenly increased sharply at this time.

Ning Yuan twisted his brows to endure the feeling that his mind was about to explode, and sat down cross-legged again.

But if you want to concentrate on cultivation, it's a lot harder. Countless noises reverberated in his mind, Ning Yuan could only concentrate on hard thoughts, trying to shield these sounds.

During the time trying to concentrate, Ning Yuan didn't dare to let go of his internal energy to practice "Lian Jiu Locking the Body" in order to avoid getting into trouble.

I don't know if it's because of the change of the rules or what, the noise that could have been slightly discarded, this time there is no way to isolate it. On the contrary, the more you want to shield, the more noise in your consciousness.

How to describe these noises? It's like there are countless whispers sounding directly in your consciousness, but you can't hear any specific content. To put it simply, countless flies are ringing in your ears, but you can't see these flies, you can't deal with them if you want to deal with them. The result is that the whole person becomes more and more irritable and even frantic.

Ning Yuan feels like this now. The mood is both restless and mad. But there is no way.

At that time, "Ning Yuan" in the memory of the boundary line at most just felt that someone was whispering softly around him. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could directly "understand" the meaning of the whisper, and then subconsciously responded, and then the customs was cleared. It should be regarded as "clearance". At least at that time, "Ning Yuan" only "heared" the "whisper" under the steps. After subconsciously responding, the "whisper" disappeared, and there was no sound from behind. Then "Ning Yuan" stepped onto the platform and got the Grade B city knot heart. In fact, thinking about this level now, "Ning Yuan", who is on another level of realm, seems quite inexplicable.

"Is it the wrong way to open it over there?" Ning Yuan thought so. "Then how to open it on my side? Now this is not necessarily the ‘correct’ way of opening, right?"

I tried to recall the information given by Fan Xiu in my mind, but found that there was no clue at all.

"Hey, master. You are already ‘toogu’, at least you should give me a hint. It’s hard for me to handle you like this." Ning Yuan was irritated and weak in consciousness.

Just when Ning Yuan was left or right, he felt a little heavier suddenly when he was a little overwhelmed.

"What's going on?!" Ning Yuan was taken aback. He had already covered his body with inner Qi in order to resist the invisible pressure outside. Why did he still feel that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier?

"Could it be?!" Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, then glanced behind him, and then tried to recall the number of steps he had taken.

"Has the rules changed completely after half a time?" Ning Yuan thought as he tried to straighten his body, "From the 82nd step?"

To verify, Ning Yuan struggled to get up and took a step back.

With one step difference, the murmur in my mind and the pressure on my body have been reduced a lot.

Ning Yuan tentatively went back and forth several times, turned on "Xizhao" and "Yaoyan" and began to analyze. After deducing it over and over again, Ning Yuan found that it seemed that from here on, the double pressure of each step would be 30% stronger than the previous step, and once a certain period of time passed, the pressure would rise again.

"It's a bit bad." Ning Yuan frowned, "In this case, the body or the will may not be able to support it. But if it stagnates, the longer the pressure rises, the more terrifying the pressure rise, and the same will not hold it."

"What is the method of asking the heart? It's just that the words of "murmur" have no idea what it means?"

Ning Yuan, who couldn't understand it, could only return to the place where he first practiced after testing out the interval of pressure increase.

Letting go of the inner energy, feeling the physical body that has been able to barely adapt to the pressure after the initial refinement in "Lian Jiu Locking the Body", a thought suddenly turned in his mind.

"Is this questioning mentality itself set up for the chance winners to improve their strength? Only when certain requirements are met can we continue to move forward?"

"Then in this case, am I still not up to the conditions to move forward?"

Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, and after several deductions in his consciousness, he realized that it might be the case.

In the first ten steps, Ning Yuan could only feel a slight physical pressure, but he didn't feel it at all in terms of will.

Then from the eleventh step to the forty step, the physical body began to feel the invisible pressure more clearly, just like walking in calm water, feeling a certain resistance. The spiritual consciousness also felt a little blown by the breeze.

From the forty-first step, the pressure felt by the physical body began to become obvious, and the "breezes" in the consciousness became a little irritating "murmur".

"Assuming that every certain number of steps corresponds to a corresponding strength stage, then the first ten steps should be mortals who have just begun to cultivate and have no internal energy, and the eleventh to fortieth steps should correspond to soldiers who have condensed the Qi type. In the early stage, the 41st step to the 81st part corresponds to the mid-soldier stage that opened up a sea of ​​air."

"If this is the assumption, then at the forty-first step, the soldier-level mid-level cultivator should not feel too obvious pressure, but I felt the obvious pressure."

"Is it because I transitioned too fast and the foundation is unstable?"

Ning Yuan looked back at the path again, thought for a while, turned back and walked back to the beginning of "asking the way".

"I originally walked into this ‘heart-asking’ road by keeping my inner qi running. If I guess, maybe the correct way here is to walk without inner qi and relying on the flesh?"

Thinking about this, Ning Yuan directly locked himself in, and set foot on the "Way of Asking the Heart" again.

When he took the first step with his body alone, Ning Yuan felt it carefully. It seemed that there was a feeling of wearing an extra piece of clothing on his body, which was much milder than the feeling of suddenly tying the leggings and sandbags when running the inner Qi. too much.

The inner Qi was transported, and the feeling of binding the small sandbag really came again, although this feeling can only be regarded as a slight pressure to the practitioner who is running the inner Qi.

"Sure enough, the way you opened it at the beginning was wrong." Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, and suddenly he felt a sense of awe.

Re-locking the inner Qi, the pressure on the body becomes as if there is no more.

Ning Yuan took the second step. An invisible "voice" suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness. This "voice" shook slightly. Ning Yuan seemed to "hear" something, and it seemed that Ning Yuan didn't "hear" anything. , But in his consciousness, it seemed that a certain thought that belonged to him subconsciously made a "response". Ning Yuan also did not know what the "response" was. Even with luck "Xizhao", I don't know how to express it at all.

Simply put, it seemed to be a "voice" "asking", and then Ning Yuan's consciousness "answered" unconsciously. But what is it asking? What the answer is, it can only be understood or unspoken, and cannot be explained.

When he took the third step, the "clothes" on Ning Yuan's physical body increased again, and then another "sound" suddenly came, and then neglected when Ning Yuan was stunned.

So when Ning Yuan walked to the ninth step, his body finally felt the sensation of his whole body entering the calm river water again.

At the tenth step, the feeling of sluggishness became obvious, and then a soft voice without emotion appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness.

"for what?"

Ning Yuan was taken aback, and subconsciously replied in his consciousness: "Opportunity."

The voice disappeared after hearing the answer, but Ning Yuanmu felt that the originally relaxed spirit and will seemed to be covered with a light veil, and it was vaguely blurred for a moment.

"Is this the real "question for the heart"?" Ning Yuan was a little puzzled. "Is the "what for" sentence just now the purpose of asking here?"

After thinking for a while, Ning Yuan shook his head and took a step forward.

After a step, Ning Yuan's body sank slightly, as if a force that pushed his body back came.

If it is said that the front is calm and stagnant water, then what Ning Yuan steps into is the flowing stream, and Ning Yuan is "upstream".

Ning Yuan felt it carefully, and found that if the inner Qi was not running, his body seemed to be blown by the wind, and some "dust" seemed to be "blown" off his body.

When this thought flashed through his consciousness, Ning Yuan was taken aback. Under his inner vision, he realized that even if the inner qi was not running at this moment, his body was still in a state of "refining". Originally, after opening up the sea of ​​qi, the body is indeed under the washing and refining of vitality all the time. But if you don't run the internal air, the feeling is minimal.

At this moment, under the pressure of this "countercurrent", Ning Yuan clearly felt the sensation of his body being "purified" when the internal Qi was running.

"Sure enough?" Ning Yuan murmured in his consciousness.

In the next ten steps, Ning Yuan’s feelings became more and more obvious. Some subtle impurities in his body were naturally removed, and his mental will seemed to be blown away a little dust in the whispers that came and went, and his thinking became active. And clear, but also more obvious, I feel the heavier and heavier shackles on the consciousness. A sense of contradiction between lightness and heaviness.

But when he took the thirtieth step, Ning Yuan began to feel a slight tingling in his body.

Ning Yuan frowned and stopped. He didn't choose to run his inner Qi, but felt it calmly.

In the tingling sensation, Ning Yuan clearly felt that more and more of the impurities in the flesh were being "forced" out. Although it was not washed out like a large number of gray-black stains like running "Lian Nine Locking Body", it can still be seen. A little dirt floated on the body.

"Is my body so bad?" Ning Yuan muttered silently.

When Ning Yuan first began to cultivate, it was obvious that his body became stronger and stronger, and his various senses were also improving. After he condensed the "Qi Seed", this feeling began to decrease. It was not until the "Qi Sea" was opened up that the body did not go again. Comprehensive improvement, but also forced out the black impurities for the first time.

Originally, Ning Yuan thought that after that time, the impurities in the mid-soldier ranks had been almost eliminated, but whether it was the previous "Lian Nine Locking Body" or the invisible "Bust" under pressure, Ning Yuan understood that his physical body was far away. It has reached the state that it should have in the middle of the soldier class, and even the physical limit of the "qi type" stage has not been reached. One can imagine how bad Ning Yuan's original physical foundation was.

What's ridiculous is that even such a bad body foundation is formed by taking a body with the average quality of the human races and taking Avicennia marina.

"Sure enough, is the potential of human beings endless? It's just that most ordinary people may not know it if you don't go through this experience?"

"Thinking about it this way, some of the original inferences may need to be overturned." Ning Yuan thought with some thought, "Players, at least the players in the first period of time should be mainly based on the improvement of the realm. I am afraid that few people will think about being in the realm. After reaching the extreme, break through. Even if you choose to polish your inner qi to consolidate the foundation and then break through, you will have the majority, I am afraid that your physical body has not been completely consolidated."

"Just like when I broke."

The time it took Ning Yuan from the beginning of cultivation to condensing the "qi seeds" and then to opening up the "sea of ​​qi" can be said to be extremely short. Even so, by chance, Ning Yuan's inner Qi foundation is extremely strong, and the quality of inner Qi is probably better than those of the aborigines who have been polishing the inner Qi foundation for a long time.

Then it's just inner qi.

Originally in Ning Yuan's cognition, although the human stage was the main stage of cultivation and polishing of the physical body, it was just a function that was automatically attached to the cultivation of internal qi, and there was no need to pay special attention. As long as you practice step by step and reach the rank of lieutenant, you can naturally create a "perfect" body.

Why is there such a perception? Because that's what the book says. The description of state and practice in "Three-Edged Spear Jue" is like this.

If you think about it, it's actually not misleading in the description of the exercises. It can only be said that the players and the aborigines have some common sense deviations.

Players have been in the Doomsday Era for a long time in reality, and with the prevalence of the virtual realm of the game world, more and more people are staying at home. Although with the development of medical technology, the health and basic physical fitness of the creatures are not required. I was overly worried, but I have to say that the basic physical fitness of the creatures has indeed declined slightly compared to before the discovery of the virtual world.

Oh, the previous virtual zone game worlds were all created by consortium companies of the stars who applied to the market owner for their own construction, so the two evolved virtual zone worlds that the market owner made were completely two things.

Although they are all known as virtual worlds, the game world built by consortium companies can only be regarded as a puppet world, and the market owner evolved a different world of souls.

So far, there are only two virtual areas that the market owner himself has set for evolution. One is the virtual area called "Rebirth" in the Nieno continent where Ning Yuan is now, and the other is the "creed" virtual area that determined the status of the countries in the coalition government of the stars thirty years ago. Ning Yuan's father was one of the Zhuxia players who had been selected to enter that virtual zone.

The prevalence of virtual area games does reduce many disputes in reality, but it also makes modern people stay at home as long as they are not paying attention.

In fact, it is true.

Both work and study can be carried out in the virtual realm, and transactions can be completed in the virtual realm in addition to the physical distribution links. Therefore, many people in the real world may not make a trip in the true sense for a few months. Ning Yuan once had the experience of staying at home without leaving the house for a whole year.

Without actual exercise, the general decline in physical fitness is not difficult to understand.

But how to say it? The floor of the basic physical fitness of the stars is still very thick, so this decline is not to the point of worrying.

Ning Yuan also didn't pay the slightest attention before realizing it. But now, Ning Yuan was shocked by the weakness of the players' physical foundation.

It can be said that this is quite different from the aborigines.

The Nieno continent is a world where practice civilization and technological civilization merge, and it is also a world full of wars and dangers.

The co-existence of war and extraordinary power, coupled with the abundant resources of the Nieno continent, makes the actual physical fitness of the aborigines much better than the players, and even if they have not become practitioners, they are not players who have been trained through city-state military training and other activities. The body that has actually been weak can be compared.

Therefore, the description of the cultivation method on the human level is not misleading. It is not written because it is common knowledge in the Nieno continent, and it is strange to write it.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan could only silently mourn the players. Originally, it was inferred that based on the player's cultivation speed, the battle against the aboriginals in the same realm should have the upper hand, but now it seems that it may not be necessary.

"Perhaps this discovery should be announced after obtaining the household registration and activating the player forum." Ning Yuan thought silently.

"But now that the coalition government has made it clear that everyone is in a competitive relationship with the bargaining chip of the future, will anyone believe in this kind of thing that obviously needs to slow down the speed of practice?"

"But I still have to do it."

Shaking his head, Ning Yuan stopped his somewhat divergent thinking.

There is no doubt that this piece of "Wenxin Stele Forest" is not only the final test of the secret realm, but also a reward for practice. He will greatly consolidate Ningyuan's foundation and consolidate Ningyuan's fundamentals.

"Cultivation is a sea of ​​bitterness, the body is a boat that crosses the sea of ​​bitterness, and the soul (soul) is the oarsman on the boat. Only a strong boat can move forward in the sea of ​​bitterness under the ferry of the oarsman."

The forest of steles in front of Ning Yuan is an excellent place to consolidate the body of the "bitter sea of ​​boats", and it is not only the body, but also a great opportunity to consolidate the foundation of spiritual will.

With this kind of association, Ning Yuan discovered that what he really wanted to say, perhaps the greatest effect of the "Heart-Ask" in the "Heart-Asked Stone Forest" was to consolidate the foundation for all aspects of the successor's spirit.

After thinking about it, Ning Yuan noticed that the tingling sensation in his body had begun to weaken. He felt it for a moment and realized that this place could no longer satisfy the evolution of body strength. So move forward again.

In this way, after about half a month, Ning Yuan finally reached an eighty step distance purely by relying on his physical body.

At this time, Ning Yuan's appearance did not change too much, but the luster of his skin was very different from before. Simply put, Ning Yuan's skin was as smooth as jade at this time, with a feeling of tightness and firmness, and a sense of lustre of porcelain. The muscles of the whole body have become stronger, which naturally makes people feel more vigorous. His eyes naturally became clear and sharp. But this is mainly the effect of the muttering of "Wen Xin".

Ning Yuan found that every time the whispers that appeared directly in his consciousness disappeared, his thinking would become faster. It seemed that the distracting thoughts and impurities in the mental will were taken away when the whispers disappeared.

If the mental will attribute is expressed as a numerical value, then the original Ning Yuan is only 50, after the baptism of "questioning and whispering", it is now about 55 points. It can be said that the effect is very obvious.

However, with the purification of the spiritual will, the direct pressure on the spiritual will has become greater and greater. At this time, Ning Yuan clearly felt the slowing down of his thinking speed.

Obviously felt the purification of spiritual will and the improvement of thinking ability, but under the invisible pressure, he felt the stagnation of thinking. This contradictory feeling made Ning Yuan very uncomfortable.

Before taking the 82nd step, Ning Yuan re-transported his inner Qi, and obviously felt that the speed of his inner Qi had increased a lot.

Ning Yuan, who filled his whole body, cautiously took the 82nd step.

Taking a step out, the pressure suddenly doubled, Ning Yuan's body sank suddenly, and the soft voice without any emotion in his consciousness sounded again: "What is it?"

"Cultivation." Ning Yuan replied subconsciously in his mind.

The whispering disappeared, but Ning Yuan's consciousness suddenly sank, and a suffocating mental pressure came. All of Ning Yuan's spiritual will naturally "coiled" into a ball to resist this drowning pressure.

Ning Yuan, who concentrated all his energy to resist the stress of the spirit, didn't know why his answer would be "cultivation", but there is no doubt that his most real purpose now is to use the double pressure of "the tendency of asking the heart" to consolidate his foundation.

Through the previous eighty steps, Ning Yuan could feel that his physical body had reached the limit of the mid-soldier rank. But it was not enough. He wanted to become stronger. He had to use this heavy pressure and the secret method of "Nine Locking the Body" to completely make up for his lack of "fitness" talent.

Ning Yuan, who is slowly running "Nine Lian Locking Body", can feel that the physical body that has already felt reached the limit is beginning to strengthen again, and not only the physical body, but the internal Qi of the Nine Lian running in the body also begins under this invisible pressure. purification.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ning Yuan's thoughts of resisting stubbornly under the weight of drowning spirit eased slightly and became more tenacious.

Just when Ning Yuan was "painful and happy" in the forest of steles, the "Xingyan" resident of Koka City welcomed two distinguished guests.

Soon after Xu Yong was respectfully welcomed into the station, a small floating boat dedicated to repairers rose from the station square, and then turned and flew towards the Longshou Mountain Range. The three people standing on the boat were Xu Yonghe and the two distinguished guests in gorgeous clothes.

At the same time, in the city lord's mansion of Koka City that received the news, the lord Ziegel, who has been rumored to have been retreating and breaking through, made a rare trip out of the customs and called his staff to discuss matters.

Ziegel is a middle-aged man with a strong body and a firm face, which is different from "Scar" Tan Xiong who looks sturdy (that is, the feeling of being fat and strong). Ziegel is that kind of figure. Well-proportioned and strong, giving a feeling of being tall and strong.

Because he holds the power of the whole city of Koka, Ziegel has a majestic and majestic aura, just sitting on the throne of the city lord makes the people watching him naturally produce a pressure.

After browsing the report on the recent situation of Koka City, Ziegel sat upright, and a powerful aura spread, and everyone in the staff group below quickly sat down, looking down at the tabletop slightly, waiting for the city lord's question.

"Let's talk about it. What kind of moth has that demon Xu Yong recently made?" Seeing everyone sitting in jeopardy, Ziegel withdrew his momentum, put his right hand on the table and propped his chin, and asked in an indifferent tone.

The next few people looked at each other and looked at their boss, the young scholar sitting on the left hand of the city lord.

With a thin figure and an elegant and gentle face, the young man in a cyan dress gives a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals. He is He Yu, Ziegel's chief adviser and chief intelligence officer.

Just as He Yu was about to get up, he saw Zigel wave his hand and said, "Just sit and say."

He Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he sat down and looked at Zigel again and said: "Just half an hour ago, Xue Qitian, one of the three chief Xingyans, was the first general under Yu Chong and he was most proud of him. Xue Hanfeng’s eldest son entered Xu Yong’s demon’s residence. After a quarter of an hour’s private conversation, the Qingyun boat on which Xue Hanfeng was riding flew out of the city. The direction was near the Longshou Mountain Range at the junction of Longsen and Fulong Mountain."
