Book 2: Chapter 8.2: A Bet
From this point, in order to win the bet with Bai Qiuran, Tang Ruowei began to devote herself to cultivation with 200% energy and enthusiasm.
Every morning, Tang Ruowei would get up at about five in the morning from the announcement of Qingming ‘s Guardian Beast, and begin to practice the fate-defying technique that Bai Qiuran pa.s.sed on to her, forging the body.
After breakfast, Tang Ruowei would pa.s.s the stone bridge and go to the new peak next to Seven Stars Peak and cultivate the exercise that was created by Bai Qiuran – Great Happening Primordial Gravity.
Unlike other Earth exercises, this exercise, like Bai Qiuran said, has focused on the most fundamental force of Earth from the beginning – gravity, so the black stone peak was also changed into a matching training ground by Bai Qiuran.
In addition to the great intensity of Earth Ki, the gravity would increase every 20 meters from the top of the mountain down to the foot of the mountain. The gravity at the foot of the mountain was more than 20 times the normal gravity.
Tang Ruowei could only practice at the highest place for the time being, but under the influence of Spiritual Root’s qualifications, it didn’t take long for the girl to successfully generate the first amount of gravitational force in her body.
In the afternoon, Tang Ruowei would be escorted by Bai Qiuran to the school on the main peak of Qingming Sect to learn cultural courses on the basic common sense of the world of cultivation. At night, Tang Ruowei would be picked up by Bai Qiuran and returned to the boudoir to soak in a medicinal bath made from various herbs.
During this time period, although Tang Ruowei didn’t feel any physical hardship, it was the most difficult for her.
Because at this time, Bai Qiuran would also be sitting outside. There was only one screen between the teacher and the apprentice. Bai Qiuran would comment on her practice progress today and then mock her.
For example, “Don’t wear a chest pad when practicing,” or “A righteous cultivator must not be arrogant and irritable. No matter how hard you work, it will take at least a hundred years to get bigger.”…
Of course, Tang Ruowei would not bear it. Using the excuse of disciples asking questions, she fought back against her master. For example, “How does it feel to reach the 66,665th layer of the Qi Refining stage”, “How long do you not have a girlfriend”, etc…
The two hurt each other in this way, then Tang Ruowei took greater devotion and enthusiasm and devoted herself to cultivation, while Bai Qiuran turned the anger into research motivation, and kept studying in the study to build the foundation.
In this way, forging, practicing, studying the life experience of senior, medicating baths, and finally going to the bubble hot spring at night to relieve their fatigue, Tang Ruowei and Bai Qiuran’s lives at Seven Stars Peak continued very regularly for a period of time.
For pract.i.tioners, the six-year period is just a flash. Even if Bai Qiuran focused on forging her body and did not allow Tang Ruowei to take any pill to improve her cultivation, Tang Ruowei’s cultivation also reached the peak of the tenth layer of the Qi Refining stage, only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.
In the past six years, Bai Qiuran, as he said, resisted his impulse to break through, and did not break through to the 66,666th layer of the Qi Refining stage. Instead, he always wanted to break through. At that time, he turned the impulse of breakthrough into the impetus of research. In the past six years, he has added several top-grade exercises and techniques to the library of Qingming Sword Sect.
Finally, in the early morning of one day, Tang Ruowei found Bai Qiuran who was studying in the study how to compress the true Qi under the situation that the Qi Sea was almost infinite.
“Master.”
The girl’s face was a little nervous, a little expectant, and a little blush hanging on her cheek.
“I think I’m about to build a foundation.”
“Finally … this day has come.”
Bai Qiuran put down his pen, his expression was extremely complicated, and he murmured.
“Wait for me, I’ll prepare a Foundation-Build Pill for you.”
He stood up, took a very old-looking scroll from the bookshelf, and handed it to Tang Ruowei.
“This is the method of meditation that my master pa.s.sed on to me when I was about to build the foundation. You use it for two days to stay calm and focus. I will prepare for you to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!”
