Chapter 2: Daily Life in Childhood
It has been two years since Qianshui came to this world. She has not been too concerned about why she is still called Qianshui like Lanxing. More importantly, she has no cell phone or computer! No games or happy water! No washing machine or refrigerator! Not to mention chatting with a few friends!!!
Without the support of modern industrial products, even the salted fish who have lost their dreams would mock the Blue Star people: "Yo yo yo, isn't this Qianshui~ Just crossing over, and it's so rubbish!?"
The world is not worth living! Living is painful! There is no tissue to wipe the snot!
The two-year-old Qianshui was not only numb, but also bored to death! However, as a mature man, it was impossible for him to have another childhood meal of climbing trees, poking the soil, and catching grasshoppers!
So he can only do three things: eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep, run and exercise, and read
books and learn to read!
Moreover, the biological clock of working people cannot be changed even by traveling across the world! They can't fall asleep at night and wake up early during the day! Except when they are just born, they are particularly sleepy.
Time is like water in a sponge, if you don't squeeze it, it will disappear!
But when you don't have survival problems, a lot of boring time will force you to do other things. As the saying goes, "you will feel full if you eat too much", this is the reason. In the information age after industrialization, no matter how bad it is, you can always watch short videos. It is so convenient to obtain information!
But Douluo is in the feudal era! Therefore, studying, which Qianshui hates the most, has become his only entertainment at present!
"Why the hell do I still need to read books when I've already graduated! At least read some novels!"
Isn't a novel a book? (No! - Qianshui Douluo)
Qianshui was reluctant to learn foreign languages at first, and there was no personal teaching! After learning to speak, he finally knew where he was.
He came to Douluo Continent and was an orphan adopted by the Spirit Hall.
Qianshui only obtained very little useful information. He only knew that the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was Qian Xunji, and that the orphanage he was in was built by the Qian family.
"That means I'm at least ahead of the plot now!"
At the age of one, his daily routine is just babbling. Unfortunately, this is very painful for Qianshui, who has a complete worldview.
He is an adult and does not have the active language learning awareness of a real baby, and there is no perfect education system!
Fortunately, the aunt who taught him was quite patient, and since he had nothing else to do and was in a very good mood, Qianshui learned the entire Douluo language and Douluo characters very quickly.
Qianshui said: "If I had this spirit on Blue Star, I would have reached the pinnacle of the world long ago! Alas~ technology has misled me!"
However, it is impossible to quit electronic devices, not even in the previous life!
Maybe because of the fantasy world, Qianshui grew bigger and bigger, and his spirits became better and better. He couldn't sleep at night. He had no choice but to go running before going to bed!
Qianshui was filled with grief and indignation. She used to be a lazy person, but now she had to be self-disciplined because she was too bored! She had simply abandoned what she had been pursuing all her life!
"Hey Qianshui, going for a run again? This child is really well-behaved and sensible!"
"Yes, yes, if I become a soul master in the future, I will definitely be a soul emperor at least!"
"That's not necessarily true. If his innate spirit power is high, he might be able to become a Titled Douluo!"
…
Qianshui was tired of hearing these words, so he ignored them and ran away. He had heard these words from the neighbors around the orphanage many times, and he could only sigh: "Isn't this just a waste of time? When I get the cheats, I will go through the entire Douluo Continent and become a god, which will be like eating and drinking water!"
'You are the one who is well-behaved and sensible! Your whole family is well-behaved and sensible! Don't you know that I hate other people's children the most!'
Qianshui ran and ran, reciting in his heart, and the sky gradually darkened. The days without accurate time were very difficult to endure, and it was very uncomfortable to have no way to judge the time.
Therefore, Qianshui can only run the map on a fixed route. It is unrealistic to wait until he is exhausted. After all, children are growing up every day.
Qianshui spent the day running to burn off his energy and immersed in learning hypnosis.
…
The director of the orphanage is also surnamed Qian. She is now in her seventies or eighties. I heard that she is a Soul Sage. Her status seems to be very high. In a place like Wuhun City, an old lady who is a Soul Sage can have a say.
It is said that she was brought back by the previous Pope himself. Even though she could only inherit the position of director of the Qian family's orphanage due to her poor talent, this director was respected because she was one generation older than the Pope.
Qianshui's excessive learning ability due to boredom, and the unique stupidity of a time traveler keyboard warrior (not afraid of elders), made the dean favor him. Many times she proposed to adopt Qianshui, but Qianshui always pushed back in confusion: "Didn't you adopt me?"
Qianshui was indeed confused. After all, he was not an orphan before, and the meaning of Douluo language was not as clear as Chinese, so there was nothing he could do.
The director himself also lives in an orphanage, so it really doesn't matter whether he adopts the child or not. He was speechless and nothing more was said.
But this love also brought Qianshui some privileges, he could read the dean's books at will. Although he only thought it was a relatively less boring entertainment project, it just broadened the track.
Qianshui quickly finished reading the dean's book, which even included some research on soul beasts and martial souls, as well as meditation methods. To be honest, these were the only things that were useful to Qianshui.
As he grew older, Qianshui ran faster and faster, and his endurance and distance also increased. By the third year of his time travel, he could already run around the three main halls of the Spirit Hall.
Qianshui practiced the meditation method, but it seemed to be completely useless.
"According to the beginning of Douluo Continent, Tang San was able to practice Xuan Tian Gong, so why can't I?
All scientific problems have a scientific solution. If not, then you are definitely not looking at it from the right angle!"
The scientific methodology is good, but in this fantasy world, the scientific perspective should also be placed in the perspective of fantasy! Qianshui is confused by the situation. Now the Blue Star people look at the problem from the perspective of Wu Mo, and there must be a fixed solution of 1+1=2.
Fortunately, Qianshui had given up Dafa, and he went directly to ask the dean!
"Soul power needs to be absorbed through the martial soul and then through deep meditation. You need to wait until your martial soul awakens at the age of six before you can cultivate soul power." This is the dean's answer.
If it were a local, he might have given up, because martial spirits are the main theme of this world and are inherent in thinking. But Qianshui knew another answer. The matter was actually simple. The dean's words were not completely meaningless. At least they reminded him of one thing -
Soul power needs a medium to cultivate! More importantly, it is important to absorb soul power!
"Every mysterious problem has a mysterious solution! This is also scientific!"
Take Tang San for example. He practiced Xuantian Gong. Maybe everyone in this world has a martial soul. Even if it is not awakened, the martial soul exists objectively. When Tang San practiced, he may have passed the martial soul, but it was definitely not just the martial soul!
Because Xuantian Gong is a product of another world without martial spirits!
Then the answer is obvious - through the body, or something more mysterious, such as spirit, or soul!
It is true that Qianshui is a materialist, but he is not a dogmatic materialist. The fantasy is already before our eyes, so this is the fact! It is something that really exists!
It is very important to be sure that something really exists so that you don't have to pay the huge cost of trial and error.
After understanding this, Qianshui's imagination became unfettered. Cultivating immortals, cultivating oneself, and martial arts, what the gods in the past said might be true! The essence of them is to absorb external energy to strengthen oneself!
The important thing is, no matter it is called spiritual energy, fighting spirit, essence, magic power, or ether, there is such an energy that can be absorbed! And in this world, this energy is called soul power!
"Except for the martial soul cultivation system in this world, which requires awakening the martial soul and possessing innate soul power to cultivate, there is no need to be so complicated to absorb energy in many other cultivation systems. The first step is actually to feel this energy and then complete the qualitative change from zero to one - the sense of energy!"
In fact, people in Douluo Continent may have a slightly higher starting point than those in other systems because of the existence of martial souls and innate soul power!
Everyone here has a martial soul, it's just the amount of innate soul power that matters. Otherwise, this intangible, mysterious product called martial soul shouldn't exist.
Judging from the situation of Tang San and the disciple he accepted overseas in the original novel, it should be possible to cultivate the innate lack of soul power, at least the Xuantian Gong can do it.
I don't care about the arguments of my friends in the previous life, I'll just practice first!
In order to avoid being disturbed, Qianshui chose a moonlit night, sneaked to the roof under the cover of darkness, and began his practice plan.
"Five hearts facing the sky, let the qi sink into the dantian, empty the mind, feel the energy, feel the energy..." Qianshui muttered while posing with five hearts facing the sky~
Fortunately, he was bored enough and found a new way to kill time, and Qianshui really calmed down.
As time went by, Qianshui had some vague feelings, but unfortunately they were only exciting for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant.
Grass is a plant! After despising myself for a while, I continued to move forward.
Wuhun City was completely silent at night. The medieval background made the entire Wuhun City almost dark. Only the stars and the moon in the sky were emitting a faint light.
Qianshui tried for several days before he finally got the hang of it.
I felt the energy at first, but was unable to absorb it. After summarizing my experience, I realized that the part of cultivating immortals should be guided by the Qi in Dantian.
But Qianshui didn't know what Dantian Qi was, so he could only experiment with brute force. In theory, he felt the area below the belly button and finally found the right position and method to absorb some.
It's a pity that it dispersed in an instant, because Qianshui had no idea what to do after absorbing it!
So I had to use brute force to crack it and tried all the possibilities I could think of.
"It should be a circulation, a big and small circulation! But how do I do that? I haven't learned about meridians!"
Qianshui rubbed his temples to ease his anxious mood.
"Temple? Holy shit!"
"There seems to be a saying that the skin is the largest organ in the human body!"
Qianshui saw this type of video when she was watching videos in the knowledge area. It said that there was a woman abroad who suddenly lost all the sensory ability of her skin one day, and her biggest feeling was that it was as if her whole body was separated from her body and floating outside!
So some people speculate, is skin one of the media in which people store their souls?
Now that I have a clear idea, I can give it a try.
After Qianshui absorbed the soul power into his dantian, he tried to pull it around. Following the feeling on his skin, he roughly sensed something like a passage and tried to pull it inside.
At the beginning, I didn't dare to inhale and pull at the same time, or inhale a large amount. If the experiment failed, I would explode!
After finding a complete circulation channel and storing it in Dantian, Qianshui is probably at the beginning. Absorbing the heaven and earth and turning it into one's own use, if it is based on the standards of the immortal cultivation system, it should be considered as the initial stage of Qi training, which is the first level of Qi training.
After finding the way, Qianshui felt relieved and continued to absorb as much as he could along the established path.
"I have to say, I really want to keep practicing. No wonder they say practicing is fun. This feeling of slowly getting stronger is really good, and my body feels good too. It's like soaring into the sky!"
However, it is not very realistic to practice all the time. After all, the environment is noisy during the day. On the other hand, he does not want others to discover his little secret that he can practice before his martial soul awakens!
In short, Qianshui still maintained his previous habits, but he ran faster, had better endurance, and became more energetic because of his practice.
