C8 Desolate Mountain Cultivation (Part II)
The first day, Ye Qiu ran along a small stream. At the end of the small stream, Ye Qiu discovered a waterfall, and the water in the small stream also flowed out from there. Ye Qiu unintentionally found a cave beside the waterfall that was just enough for living in. From that day onwards, Ye Qiu started living in this cave, after a month of living here, Ye Qiu created some simple furniture, as well as a stove, bowls, chopsticks and other things.
Everyday after he finished cultivating, Ye Qiu would jump into the waterfall to shower and wash his body. The clothes on Ye Qiu's body had long been destroyed, it was only surrounding him with a piece of demon beast skin, since no one would come here, Ye Qiu was not worried about leaving.
After running for three months, Ye Qiu realised that twenty miles was not a difficult distance for him to cover. Now, after running twenty miles, it was easy.
Lying in the water, Ye Qiu racked his brains, unable to think of any good cultivation methods. It was as if all his training had reached a bottleneck. His daily cultivation had already made Ye Qiu unable to feel the improvement in his own strength, and he only maintained his current level.
Ye Qiu laid quietly in the water, allowing the water flowing down the waterfall to wash over his body. Just as Ye Qiu was about to fall asleep, the Demon God suddenly spoke out, "What if you were to carry a stone that is one hundred kilograms? Would it be so easy? What if the push-ups you're talking about were made with one hand instead of two? Would a hundred be as easy as that? If you drop yourself on a tree, and then do it again, the difficulty will increase greatly. As for the horse stance, can you try to stand for an hour under the impact of the waterfall? "
Although the Demon God did not know how Ye Qiu came up with these actions, but when he started training, the effects were not bad. The Demon God could feel that Ye Qiu's body was already more than twice as strong as it was in three months.
Ye Qiu suddenly heard the Demon God's words. "Many thanks for the demon god's guidance. I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't said it." Ye Qiu said to the Demon God excitedly.
The demon god smiled and said, "Although these methods of yours have some effects, in the future, they won't have much use for cultivation because your body has already adapted to such an intensity of cultivation. It's impossible for you to rely on these simple cultivation methods to become a powerhouse, unless you can find a better cultivation method in the future, or obtain some heaven and earth treasures, then you will have the chance to become a powerhouse."
The Demon God's words, Ye Qiu agreed. If this kind of cultivation could become a strong warrior, then how could there be so many strong warriors in the twentieth century? As Ye Qiu knew, in the twenty-first century, there were many special forces that could easily complete this kind of practice, but he had never heard of anyone that could become an expert just like that.
Ye Qiu memorized the Demon God's advice and began to train even more diligently every day. When his body was exhausted to the extreme, he sat down to cultivate the Shennong. When his energy recovered, he continued to cultivate.
Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and persevered as he trained endlessly. A thirteen year old teenager, in these five months, had grown quite a bit. Adding to his long years of training, his body was perfect and smooth, and there were even a hint of eight muscles in his stomach. Anyone who didn't know this would definitely think that he was an eighteen year old teenager when they saw Ye Qiu.
When there was only a month left before the actual battle, Ye Qiu began to forge his own weapon. Everyday, after completing a certain amount of cultivation, Ye Qiu would sit inside the cave and cut a piece of wood that he had brought back with him.
Three days later, a wooden sword was born in Ye Qiu's hands.
The sword was two feet long and two and a half fingers wide. Name: Wood Sword.
Ye Qiu looked at the wooden sword in his hand and laughed happily. After spending three days worth of time, he finally forged his first weapon. Ye Qiu weighed the wooden sword in his hand, it was simply too light, it was not suitable for use as a weapon, and its quality was not very good either, it could be broken easily.
Ye Qiu felt a little helpless. This place was desolate, where would he be able to find a weapon? Ye Qiu waved the sword in his hand a few times, and laughed bitterly, in his hands, there was no feeling at all, it was light as a feather, how could he fight against beasts? Most likely, even the skin of a magical beast wouldn't be able to pierce through.
Depressed, Ye Qiu casually thrust the wooden sword in his hand into the ground, but accidentally touched the side of his foot, and pierced it. Ye Qiu took a deep breath and looked down. Blood was flowing out of the wound where the wooden sword had pierced him.
Looking at the wound, Ye Qiu started to ponder. What if he didn't use a wooden sword, but something else? For example, if he used a piece of wood to cut out a tip, wouldn't that result in more damage? Wouldn't it be fine to assassinate a magical beast by relying on the sharpness of the wood? Furthermore, the long wooden log was not as fragile as the wooden sword.
Ye Qiu suddenly laughed. Wasn't this just a spear?
With a target, Ye Qiu could do whatever he wanted. After staying here for five months, he had long become familiar with the terrain around him. Naturally, he knew what kind of trees were here as well. Ye Qiu carried the broken wood blade and walked out of the cave, and rushed into the forest on his right hand side.
In this forest with so many trees, it was far too easy to pick a suitable piece of wood. Ye Qiu quickly found the tree branch he needed.
Dragging a branch that was two metres long, Ye Qiu returned to his cave and started to forge his second weapon. Cut off the leaves, the bark, and the shape of the gun.
After spending a day of effort, a wood gun appeared in Ye Qiu's hands. Ye Qiu looked at the weapon in his hand with satisfaction. Although the work was a bit rough, it was much heavier than a wooden sword.
Ye Qiu waved the wood gun a few times. The feeling in his hand wasn't bad, and he carried the wood gun with him as he walked out.
In the past few months, Ye Qiu would go hunting everyday. Ye Qiu also found out from the Demon God that the Demon God had secretly chased away all the powerful demonic beasts nearby. Therefore, Ye Qiu was not worried that a tyrannical demonic beast would pop out while he was looking for food.
Ye Qiu decided that he would not be eating wild food today. He changed his tastes and found a few fishes at the bottom of the creek a few days ago.
In the past few months, the Demon God rarely spoke to Ye Qiu, as if he was in closed door cultivation. Ye Qiu had long since gotten used to living alone, and was gradually becoming accustomed to it. Until now, he was already completely accustomed to living this kind of life.
Ye Qiu squatted beside the stream and carefully observed the water. Not long later, Ye Qiu discovered a fish. Ye Qiu smiled, grabbed the wood gun in his hands and fiercely thrust it into the water. Ye Qiu, who had originally thought that he could catch a fish in one go, did not expect that after the wood gun pierced down the fish, it discovered that the fish had long since run away.
At first, Ye Qiu thought it was a mistake, but that was the situation more than ten times. Ye Qiu started to ponder as he quietly stared into the water. He had obviously already stabbed the fish, but why was it that he did not succeed even once?
Looking at the wood gun that was stuck in the water, as if the body of the spear had been broken, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something. He laughed out loud, wasn't it just the principle of water's reflection?
After figuring out the reason, Ye Qiu quickly found the secret to catching fish. An hour later, Ye Qiu returned to his cave with two fresh and tender fat fish in one hand and wood gun in the other.
Looking at the fat fish on the fire, Ye Qiu quietly sat at the side, flipping the fish on the wooden stick from time to time. Ye Qiu knew that in another month, the Demon God would retract his aura, and the Demon Beasts that had been chased out by the Demon God would slowly return.
And he was going to face the biggest challenge in his life. If he wasn't careful, he might lose his life. The Demon God had also told him that in battle, he wouldn't interfere. Unless he encountered some powerful magical beast, he would only intervene. Otherwise, he would have to rely on his own strength and luck.
Thinking about the actual battle that would occur in a month, Ye Qiu couldn't help but become excited. This was the first battle in his life, and also the best chance to test his own cultivation level.
After eating the roasted fish, Ye Qiu carried the wood gun and went out.
There was still a month's time. In this month's time, Ye Qiu had to quickly familiarize himself with the spear in his hands, and also familiarize himself with the spear's simple offensive moves.
Ye Qiu stood on an empty land and started to cultivate. Ye Qiu's moves were very simple, they came and went with three movements: piercing, lifting, and sweeping.
Ye Qiu had spent a lot of effort to think of these three moves, thinking of them from the books he had read in the past and the television.
Ye Qiu trained crazily in the forest with his upper body naked. The wood gun in Ye Qiu's hand, following his hand, pierced out again and again, retracting it. Ye Qiu pursued speed, so every spear strike had an extremely fast speed.
This was also what the Demon God had warned Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu was not able to learn any battle qi, so he could release the power of each move, but he had to pursue the speed of the move. Thus, the simpler the move, the better it was for Ye Qiu.
In the forest, only the sound of wood gun tearing through the air could be heard, as well as the sound of Ye Qiu's panting.
Sweat covered all over Ye Qiu's forehead, arms, and back. Sweat flowed down his smooth muscles as he continuously thrust, retracted, retracted, and repeated this practice without batting an eye.
Ye Qiu's sweat was not without reward. At the very least, in just a single breath's time, he could have stabbed out three times without any stagnation.
Half a year's time, was spent under Ye Qiu's madness and masochistic cultivation. Currently, Ye Qiu was carrying fifty kilograms of rocks on his back, and running twenty miles wasn't really a difficult task. With any of his hands, he could easily carry more than a hundred on one leg while sitting on his back. The only thing that made Ye Qiu feel depressed was that he couldn't stand for more than a minute under the impact of the waterfall.
The first time he practiced the Stealing Steps under the waterfall, Ye Qiu did not bother to step on top of the rocks at all. At the bottom of the waterfall, there was a huge rock. The impact of the waterfall had washed away that rock for many years, causing it to become incomparably smooth.
Every time the water didn't rush down, Ye Qiu would feel a burning pain on his skin, and the Shennong had played a huge role once again. Every time Ye Qiu activated the Shennong, he seemed to be able to feel the crack in the water when the water flowed down.
After several months of training, Ye Qiu whose physique was several times stronger than before was finally able to take a one minute horse stance under the waterfall.
Just when the Demon God had set a time limit of half a year for Ye Qiu to pass, the Demon God suddenly spoke to Ye Qiu.
It seems that you have gained a lot during this half year. Not bad, with your current strength, you can almost compare to the average bronze warrior. The Demon God said in Ye Qiu's mind.
When Ye Qiu heard that he already had the strength of the bronze warrior, he looked at his hands in a daze. Ye Qiu never thought that the Demon God would have such shocking news for him. He never thought that the best he could think of was that his physique would be slightly stronger than the others.
"Do I really have the strength of a Dou Zhe?" Ye Qiu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and couldn't help but to ask. Ye Qiu's eyes shone with excitement.
"Foolish brat, I was just lying to you, but you got happy too early, and said that you have the power of the bronze warrior, but from the strength, if you fight with the bronze warrior, the one who dies will definitely be you." Sensing Ye Qiu's expression, the Demon God was angry and amused. Was possessing the strength of a Dou Zhe worth being so happy?
The demon god's words were like a bucket of cold water falling from the sky. Ye Qiu became sluggish. So that was the case, but it wasn't much, there was a difference between him and those people who learned warrior power. As long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to surpass them. The Demon God had said that if one cultivated to the limit, they could become strong. Thinking about this, Ye Qiu quickly regained his confidence.
"I will definitely surpass them! I believe I can! " Ye Qiu looked forward firmly, his fists clenched, as he roared in his heart.
"I believe that you can do it. Rest well now and fight well tomorrow!" The demon god said.
