Chapter 7: Gravity Bracelet
Zhang Zhongjun is nearing his limit, his eyes somewhat blurred and unclear, yet he knows he can still persevere. In the past, he often engaged in extreme training like this; one might think the limit has been reached, but as long as one persists and breaks through the past, they will discover that new limits are still quite a distance away.
Sweat poured down in torrents, and the veins on Zhang Zhongjun's neck bulged, clearly exerting all his strength. After a while, it was evident that Zhang Zhongjun was physically exhausted, yet he continued to persevere. The big frog, with his hands behind his back and a cigar in his mouth, nodded in satisfaction.
Oh. Zhang Zhongjun immediately stretched his neck and gulped down the Yuan Pearl in one go
The big frog, biting on a cigar, grinned mischievously: "Did you see the indentation on the bracelet? Put a yuan pearl in there."
However, the big frog, despite uttering words that are quite touching, turns up the volume even higher, and it starts to jump and dance while croaking loudly in rhythm.
Therefore, upgrading is essential; only through upgrading can one obtain good things. Only by upgrading can my vitality be preserved from being wasted for no reason! Of course, it is only through upgrading that I can venture out! So, young one, strive to upgrade, for the world outside is far more splendid than you can imagine!
"Alas! You do not realize that you are a body full of flaws! There is simply no cultivation method suitable for you at the stage of Qi training. You can only focus on filling the gaps in your body. Only when you have completed this and reached the Qi training stage can you find a cultivation method that is appropriate for you to learn!" The big green frog disdainfully exhaled a puff of smoke.
However, what does it matter? Zhang Zhongjun is not an ordinary citizen, and the expectations placed upon him are not those of a mere body refining stage.
The big frog disdainfully said, "What is heavy? This is merely an increase of one times the gravity. When you are able to move freely, there will be two times the gravity waiting for you. Enjoy it well."
Then continue to practice your mental techniques, and just add in vigorous exercise. The big frog said calmly as it exhaled a puff of smoke
The big frog has already jumped several tunes, and it stopped to sip some red wine and smoke a bit. Upon seeing that the bead in Zhang Zhongjun's hand was still milky white, it couldn't help but get angry: "What the heck! What kind of cultivation method is this? After more than half an hour, you haven't even knocked off a single essence bead? At this rate, when will your aptitude allow you to break through to the Qi Refinement stage?"
Struggling to maintain the seated posture, Zhang Zhongjun placed the beads in the palm of his hand, then closed his eyes, once again practicing the breathing techniques taught by his father. Having cultivated these techniques since the age of three, he had become thoroughly proficient in them.
Only by reaching a cultivation level above the Qi Refinement stage can one inherit the title in the future, possess the ability to maintain the current wealth and glory, and continue to lead those who depend on the Earl Zhang's estate to earn greater profits. Therefore, regardless of Zhang Zhongjun's character, as long as he cannot step into the Qi Refinement stage, he is nothing but a useless person, ignored by everyone! It is not about emotions, but purely a matter of interests. Thus, regardless of Zhang Zhongjun's character, as long as he cannot step into the Qi Refinement stage, he is a useless person, disregarded by all! It is not about emotions, but solely due to the relationship of interests.
Zhang Zhongjun blinked, clearly pondering the meaning of the word "kè". Once he understood, he laboriously raised his hand and stuffed the bead into his mouth
With a few crunching sounds, Zhang Zhongjun said with a苦脸: "Senior brother, it's too hard, I can't break it."
After a considerable duration, the bead in hand suddenly trembled, and a wisp of milky-white gas seeped out, as if under control, slowly rising and drilling into Zhang Zhongjun's nostrils
Zhang Zhongjun's curiosity also shifted to the large frog and the big trumpet, but after staring at them for a while, he realized that he could not move closer to take a look, so he had no choice but to refocus his attention on himself
"Simple, didn't I tell you to chew on the Yuan Pearl before? Don't you know what 'chew' means?" said the big green frog, with a sideways glance and a cigar in its mouth
To understand the third level of body refinement, one must be able to strike three times in an instant, run 100 meters in just 6 breaths, and carry a 100-jin object while walking continuously for 100 kilometers
"Senior Brother, didn't you say you would help me choose a good cultivation method?" Zhang Zhongjun looked at the big frog with a pitiful expression.
Oh, Zhang Zhongjun naturally obeyed the command, focusing on operating his mental techniques while struggling to stand up and gradually began to run.
Then how should I cultivate?" Zhang Zhongjun asked with a苦 face
Zhang Zhongjun was not disturbed by the noise; he continued to practice his techniques with his eyes closed, indicating that his willpower and state of mind were both quite commendable
He slightly straightened his back, took a breath, and then with great effort bent down and raised his hand to grasp a fallen pearl that was not far from him. After catching the pearl, it was as if he were holding an object weighing a hundred pounds, slowly moving it back.
Zhang Zhongjun's will is extremely firm; otherwise, how could a complete waste who cannot absorb any elixirs and has no prospects for cultivation possibly advance to the third level of body refinement?
Zhang Zhongjun obediently picked up a pearl from the ground and placed it inside. The originally milky-white pearl suddenly emitted a bright light, transforming into a liquid that directly permeated into the bracelet. Witnessing this scene, Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
As he struggled, the sweat on Zhang Zhongjun's body was about to seep through his clothes, and his hair was thoroughly soaked. He finally managed to shift from a prone position back to a seated posture.
It seems that although this young man appears naive and romantic, he still possesses the heart of a warrior. This is good; the worst would be if he were as indifferent and carefree as his demeanor suggests, which would indeed be troublesome. The interesting things I have in my mind cannot be taken out; I can only wait for this fellow to level up and hope for luck to obtain them.
The big frog tapped its head and said in disbelief: "You are indeed sincere, just swallow it directly!"
At first, there was always no response, but Zhang Zhongjun remained calm and did not give up
After speaking, it no longer paid attention to Zhang Zhongjun, returning to its stage. With a snap of its fingers, deafening music once again filled the air, and the big frog, wearing sunglasses, resumed its flamboyant poses and danced energetically.
In the imperial army, those who can reach the first level of body refinement are all elite soldiers! Those at the third level of body refinement can even serve as captains of a hundred men
Zhang Zhongjun wiped his nose and, filled with curiosity, picked up the bracelet to play with it, then consciously put it on his wrist
Then, he directly lay on the ground unable to move, shouting: "Senior brother, it's so heavy!" While struggling with his limbs, judging by his expression, it seemed that curiosity outweighed surprise.
However, the royal family is quite pleased to see it; they look forward to the emergence of capable ministers, but are not inclined to see hereditary nobles becoming stronger with each generation. If a hereditary noble remains exceptionally powerful through generations, it would undoubtedly create a solid and powerful small interest group, which does not align with the interests of the royal family. The royal family would prefer that all descendants of noble houses are fools and simpletons
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhongjun is despised by others yet continues to live well; the royal family inquires about his situation every so often. Now that he has been harmed by the woman in white, it is conceivable that after disappearing for such a long time, there must be turbulent undercurrents in Zuofeng County now
The big green frog turned its head and glanced at Zhang Zhongjun, nodding in satisfaction. After dancing for a while, it felt somewhat enlightened.
