After dividing the scope based on assessment, the school Yun Ye needs to go to is completely different.
The main Yangqi Hall was not only changed to a larger one, but the number of students also changed, increasing to more than fifty.
This time I was lucky. I was assigned to the same Yangqi Hall as Wang Yao, which was also named C Yangqi Hall, but with the prefix of "Second Examination" added.
The closer the distance is, the more things Yun Ye and Wang Yao can do. Competing with each other in tiger fist and discussing Qi nourishing techniques are common things. They hope to speed up their practice through this method.
Unfortunately, by themselves, they have achieved little results, far less than the guidance of famous teachers.
However, the number of people in Yangqi Hall increased, and these teachers all had their own tendencies. They did not pay extra attention to Yun Ye and Wang Yao, and their guidance was very careless and of little significance.
And those who are truly geniuses, even the rich ones, are given individual guidance and make rapid progress, further widening the gap.
This is still Yun Ye. When Wang Yao was not targeted, those geniuses who refused to accept weakness and these stakeholders simply refused to point out, or even deliberately pointed out the wrong ones. This was very scary...
After two months, Yun Ye's Qi nourishing technique has made great progress, and has entered the middle stage from the initial stage of foundation. At this rate, I am afraid that in one or two years, I will be able to cultivate Qi to a small extent and have the opportunity to awaken my spiritual roots.
But he also discovered a problem.
The main lesson is the art of nourishing Qi.
Secondary course, Tiger Boxing.
Second lesson, knowledge about demons and spiritual practice.
The amount of study during the second examination of Xianxuetang was very large, and it was beginning to exceed Yun Ye's ability to bear it.
The more time you spend practicing Qi nourishing, the other aspects will fall behind.
Three meals a day of D-level quality food are equivalent to him having to practice Qi-nourishing techniques at least fifteen times.
This is not a small sum, it will take Yun Ye three hours.
In fact, Yunye eats not only D-grade food for three meals a day, but also a C-grade meal.
He spends at least four hours a day practicing Qi nourishing techniques.
In addition, there are tiger fists and various knowledge that need to be mastered, and Yun Ye's time is starting to run out.
"Is there any way to improve the efficiency of the Qi Nourishing Technique..."
Yun Ye started to figure it out.
Yangqi Hall specializes in teaching Qi nourishing techniques.
The higher the level of mastery, the better the effect. Generally speaking, mastery is divided into five levels: entry, proficiency, minor success, great success, and perfection.
At present, he is only at a proficiency level, and theoretically there is still a lot of room for improvement.
But this is only theoretical.
Anyone who has focused on a certain skill for more than ten years understands that the fastest improvement is achieved in the early stages of learning, and the further you go, the slower it gets.
Although the art of nourishing qi is not very complicated, it took Yun Ye a month to get started and a year to become proficient.
If you want to enter the stage of success, I am afraid it will take at least five years to slowly improve and carve this skill into the bone marrow.
But such a long time obviously cannot solve Yun Ye's dilemma.
There is no doubt that Qi nourishing techniques also have levels.
Just like the internal skills in martial arts novels, the effects of peerless magical skills and ordinary martial arts are completely different.
As a teacher of Qi-nourishing techniques, Yu Yu also mentioned other Qi-nourishing techniques.
If the Qi nourishing technique taught by the government is the foundation, then the stronger Qi nourishing technique is the secret teaching.
The secret Qi nourishing techniques of all families are developed bit by bit on the basis of Qi nourishing techniques.
Essentially, this is still the same technique, but it is easier to learn and reach a higher level.
It is equivalent to sorting out the originally scattered knowledge into a knowledge tree, which improves learning efficiency.
In other words, any proficiency in Qi-nourishing techniques is universal.
Once you get it, you will most likely be able to get started immediately.
It is this universality that makes the secrets extremely valuable, and basically no one will leak them out.
As a teacher of Qi Nourishing Technique, Yu Yu has actually mastered the secret teaching, which is why he was chosen as the teacher.
Theoretically, if he had no reservations, the student would be able to make rapid progress without learning the secret Qi nourishing technique.
But Yu Yu is from a noble family, and it is impossible to teach a commoner wholeheartedly. After a year, Yun Ye has just mastered the Qi nourishing technique to the level of "proficient".
Yun Ye felt that there was no way to show the school. If he wanted to get the secret, he could only use other methods.
Or, do your own research.
Both paths are almost impossible.
Given how conservative the secrets are in this world, Yun Ye cannot buy the secrets with money. He can only use his strength to rob them, or make great contributions to the aristocratic family or the government, and they will award them.
Yun Yeyi has no strength, and he has just started to practice, so it is impossible for him to make meritorious deeds.
The second way, to do your own research, is even more difficult.
Baishi Town has existed for at least hundreds of years and has gone through more than a dozen generations, but there are still only a few famous families.
Obviously, this is not something that can be accomplished in just a few generations, even if one is extremely talented.
But after thinking about it, Yun Ye felt that he seemed to be the only one doing research by himself. His time was the least valuable. If one life failed, there would be a second life. Accumulating as much as possible was the right way to go.
Thoughts come through.
Yun Ye was completely relieved and no longer thought about how to get more points in the exam, but concentrated on learning various knowledge.
It was at this time that Yun Ye discovered the role of the major classes in the Xian School.
The second class is where practical techniques are directly taught.
Classification of herbal medicines, refining of ores, and even medical musical instruments are all taught, but these things are not meant for spiritual root revivers, so no one pays attention to them.
Yun Ye discovered that the people in the next class were basically fifteen or sixteen years old. This surprised Yun Ye. Isn't this age the sprint stage? Why are they still here?
But then I thought about it, maybe it was at the final stage that I knew there was no hope of reviving my spiritual roots, so I came to learn these practical techniques in order to make a living and not do it in vain?
The actual situation quickly became clear after Yun Ye quietly inquired about it.
It turns out that the students in the second class were not just practitioners, but even most of the learners were ordinary people without qualifications. They were apprentices in the government's logistics department...
It can also be said to be a servant passed down from generation to generation.
Their life is to learn skills, then work for the government, become cultivators, and finally have children, and the cycle repeats.
Yun Ye was already used to it, so he quietly blended in and absorbed all the knowledge he needed.
…
If you want to study the art of nourishing qi, you must first understand the operating principle of nourishing qi.
In this world, almost everyone knows how it is, but they don't know why it is so, and they don't study it on purpose. They all rely on genius to make improvements in a flash of inspiration.
But here in Yun Ye, the situation is obviously different. He is not creative enough to open up a way forward.
But his systematic analysis of existing things still allowed him to discover things that most people couldn't.
That's the role of mantras.
Qi-nourishing techniques must be combined with mantras. Although silent chanting is enough, it is absolutely impossible to do without.
The content of the formula generally describes how Qi is extracted from the whole body, gathered in the chest, and lingers for a long time, ultimately preserving life energy and making the body gradually stronger.
This sounds a bit like... hypnosis? Autosuggestion?
Yun Ye became interested and immediately started experimenting.
First, he didn't think about the formula and simply practiced the Qi Nourishing Technique.
Different from Qi nourishing techniques with formulas, simple movements only make Yun Ye sweat profusely, and almost no Qi is extracted.
This is a Qi-nurturing technique that has not even been practiced in the beginning. Just like past experience, it has no effect.
Then, Yun Ye practiced the normal Qi nourishing technique again.
But unlike the complete practice, this time Yun Ye carefully experienced the changes in his body when he silently recited the mantra.
As a result, due to distraction, the effect of the Qi nourishing technique was greatly reduced, and only about 40% of the normal Qi was raised.
In the end, Yun Ye did not chant the formula, but directly imagined the Qi being extracted and practiced the movements.
The results are very interesting. During this practice, the Qi Nourishing Technique is not ineffective, but the effect is greatly reduced. The efficiency is only about 10%, which is even lower than the distraction effect when chanting the mantra.
After that, Yun Ye practiced Qi nourishing techniques through imagination many times. What surprised him was that as he became more proficient, the efficiency of practice increased rapidly, and soon reached 80% of the normal practice effect, and there was even room for improvement.
This situation further enriched Yun Ye's understanding of "cultivation".
As far as Yun Ye's feeling is concerned, practicing Qi nourishing techniques through imagination is actually more difficult than reciting mantras silently.
It is easier to recite the mantra directly than to recite it silently.
The reason why he was able to quickly reach the level of normal oral formula cultivation through the imaginary cultivation method is because he has firmly memorized the movements and is so proficient that he can devote all his attention to imagination.
And if you are a beginner, it is difficult to imagine a real object in your mind even without other actions.
The imaginative cultivation method is not just about thinking about it. It requires a very real understanding of the sense of Qi and the feeling of the Qi being extracted. This requires long-term practice and perfection.
And once completed, the gain was indeed far beyond Yun Ye's imagination.
The 100% threshold was quickly crossed.
It was just a start-up, but after one month of improvement by Yun Ye, the effect reached 150%!
Yun Ye vaguely felt that the so-called secret Qi nourishing technique was actually about building a more three-dimensional and clear practice process from simple to difficult, rather than always using the same set of auxiliary formulas.
If you don't understand this, Qi-nourishing skills may always remain at a low level, making it difficult to achieve success, let alone perfection.
Compared with the exploration of imaginative methods, Yun Ye had no way to start with the body-training movements. His accumulation was not enough for him to improve his movements.
Basically, if you change it casually, the efficiency of the entire Qi-nourishing technique will drop off a cliff. Simply exhausting it is a complete waste of time.
The modification of movements should wait until he has a sufficient understanding of the world's cultivation system.
The teachers in Xianxuetang all have the ability to modify the movements of the Qi Nourishing Technique. When they give guidance, they will modify the movements according to their personal circumstances. If one or two are okay, it is probably because they are gifted.
But it’s all there. I’m afraid this is some kind of common sense, but Yun Ye is not at the level to understand it.
