This must also be a training process. Zhou Jin did not dare to relax at all and walked back with the basket of soil. ??????????????????????????????????:??????????: The light body technique was used in the past few times, and the speed was very fast, but now with such a heavy object in his hand, Zhou Jin had to use all his strength to lift it and move it, and it was even more impossible to use light skills. And while Zhou Jin was lifting weights, he also had to let his own Qi wrap the entire basket. With such a heavy weight, if the basket was missed, all the efforts would be wasted. After taking a few steps, Zhou Jin began to sweat on his forehead, because now he was required to use all his strength, and he also had to maintain precise strength. Zhou Jin now maintained a spherical air ball with both hands, wrapping the basket and In soil, it is easy to maintain such precision instantly, but difficult to maintain it continuously. After Zhou Jin took more than ten steps, he felt that his whole body was being pricked by countless needles, and his Dantian Qi sea and meridians were cut into pieces by thousands of knives. People have limits, and warriors also have limits. A temporary burst can exceed the limit, but continuous Doing so will injure yourself. But there is no turning back at this time. If you let go, the soil will fall apart and you have to start over. However, your body has been damaged by operating your internal strength beyond its limit for so long. If you start over again, it is hard to say whether your strength can reach its peak. . Since you can¡¯t look back, just keep going. Every step Zhou Jin takes is extremely heavy. The sweat on his body instantly soaks his clothes. Every step he takes makes his body feel extremely painful. Zhou Jin¡¯s arms began to tremble slightly. What was even more shocking was that the temperature on the island dropped rapidly and was about to return to the coldness when he first arrived. His body was covered in sweat, the chill returned, and there were multiple internal and external blows. It was really painful. Leave the soil behind and go to the brazier to recover it first? Zhou Jin immediately rejected this idea. As long as he can take a step forward, don't stop. The things the old man assigned to him must be tempered. If you can take advantage of others, then there is no value in tempering. After taking a few more steps, Zhou Jin completely relied on his faith to support himself. His eyes were already black, and he had reached the moment when the light ran out! I once came to the island, cut down trees and made fire. I was also exhausted and cold on the way. My whole state was about to collapse, but I persevered at the critical moment. But this time the situation was even more dangerous. Zhou Jin had some thoughts in his heart. It is a clear judgment that if this collapse occurs on the way, I am afraid that I will never have the strength to get up again and will freeze here directly. Life and death will be unpredictable by then. Zhou Jin gritted his teeth and took another step forward. He could already see the figure of the old man in front of him, but this step consumed Zhou Jin's last strength. His body began to tremble violently, and even the most basic balance was difficult to maintain. If you can't hold on, you will fall down. You can't fall, you have to hold on. You have fallen in the last life, and you must persist in this life no matter what. Zhou Jin took a deep breath, and the speed of the true energy of the "Wujiajingjing" in his body had exceeded the limit. The true energy flowing in the meridians The energy was like countless sharp knives, cutting into the inside of the body. Zhou Jin could even feel the meridians shattering one by one, and the whole person was about to die. The body is on the verge of extinction. The temperature on the island seems to be related to this situation. The coldness has intensified rapidly. Even the snowy mountains in the far north that Zhou Jin visited in the past cannot compare with it now. There is a limit beyond the limit. After a person persists to a certain level, he can no longer persist. However, Zhou Jin survived this level with his own perseverance. But after all, he is only a warrior. After persisting at this level for a while, he can no longer hold on. Can't live. It was completely dark before Zhou Jin's eyes, his Dantian Qi sea was completely exhausted, and he could no longer generate any strength. Zhou Jin finally began to despair in his heart, but he still stood there. Even if he was doomed in the next moment, he would still have to control his own destiny. master! At the moment before collapse, or even the moment after collapse, Zhou Jin suddenly felt a trace of power pouring out of the Dantian Qi sea. Could it be an illusion? Even if there was really a little power, in this situation, there was no trace of it. usefulness. But the moment after that trace of power came out, surging power spurted out. It instantly filled Zhou Jin's body, and at that moment, the island's temperature quickly rose, going from cold winter to early spring in almost no time. Zhou Jin gasped for breath. His body had returned to stability. Although the ball of soil on his hand was still as heavy as a thousand pounds, it was not unbearable for Zhou Jin now. The edge of life and death will stimulate potential. Zhou Jin suddenly understood that when he blocked Wen Tiannian's killing blow, his martial arts realm reached a new level. The near-despair encounter just now made him have another breakthrough! Could this be the purpose of the mysterious old man's arrangement? Zhou Jin stepped forward steadily and carefully observed the changes in his body. What surprised him was that his strength did not increase explosively, and it changed from pure to turbid. After inspection, I found that it was not turbidity, but the inner Qi.The composition of ? changes, and those turbidities are just the power compressed to the extreme. There are four layers of thick soil: accumulated soil, sand, mud, and stone. With such a manifestation of power, it is difficult for him to break through from "turning sand" to "turning mud." It seems that he has even touched the threshold of "making stone." Zhou Jin was happy, but at the same time he was also a little confused. Every bit of progress and breakthrough in the realm of strength would bring about a jump increase in internal strength. However, although there was an increase this time, it was not as much as expected. As he was thinking about it, Zhou Jin came to the area around the brazier. When he left, the area around one foot was filled with fine sand. But when he came back this time, he felt different as soon as he set foot. Although his foot sank in, the ground felt softer. There is also a vague flexibility. Zhou Jin looked down and saw that the yellow sand around the brazier had turned into loess. Is this the breakthrough from "turning sand" to "turning into mud"? From this body, it was confirmed that his realm had risen, but Zhou Jin was overjoyed, but a little bit dumbfounded. If he had known that this piece of sand could turn into loess, why would he have spent so much energy tossing it back and forth, and almost died on the way? As usual, the trees were cut down and burned. After the natural growth of power broke through, the yellow sand changed, and trees could be planted directly. But having reached this point, let¡¯s continue according to the predetermined plan. Zhou Jin put down the soil in his hands, let the loess peel open and took out the seeds. The seeds would not germinate in the dry soil. Zhou Jin put the moist Put the soil into the loess pit, dig out the soil, bury the seeds, and then cover it with loess. I don't know when, the old man opened his eyes, stared at Zhou Jin, and said coldly: "Stupid!" Zhou Jin smiled bitterly. Fortunately, the old man said that he was "stupid" and did not say that he had done something wrong. Look. I¡¯ve done everything right in this series! Before Zhou Jin could react, he suddenly shrank and his whole body suddenly sank two feet into the loess. It seemed that his whole body became extremely heavy at this moment. Zhou Jin clearly felt that the true energy in his body had turned into a solid state. , the pure Qi was originally mixed with the power compressed to the extreme, but in an instant, all the internal power changed into this form, all the power was compressed to the extreme, but the Dantian Qi sea and meridians were still full! The loess under his feet turned into a whole rock at some point. Zhou Jin's whole body was stuck in this rock, but Zhou Jin's eyes were a little blank. He could probably guess what this change was, but he couldn't believe it. Did he just jump from the "thick soil realm" to the "solid rock" realm? Zhou Jin once heard Yun Tianzong say that the internal energy was turning from empty to strong, gathering sand into stone, and this feeling in the body was the same as what he felt at this moment. Although Zhou Jin was ecstatic, he still remained calm. He immediately thought of the key point. The ground turned into a rock. How could the seeds germinate? Wouldn't it be a failure to plant the tree? Just thinking of this, Zhou Jin I saw cracks starting to appear where the soil and seeds were buried, as if something was about to drill out from inside this huge rock. A sapling as thick as a thumb stubbornly emerged from the rock. Zhou Jin looked at it in amazement. Everything on the island was indeed different from the outside. It had actually grown. What made him even more stunned was what happened next. The sapling grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. It quickly grew taller and thicker, and its branches and leaves also grew luxuriantly. The extremely hard rock did not hinder the growth of the tree at all. The rock covering the roots of the tree was cracked inch by inch. The scenery was so incredible that Zhou Jin was dazzled by it, but he did not forget his own strength and followed the tree. The tree grew rapidly, and there was a small cool breath in his Dantian Qi sea swimming towards the meridians. Under this breath, the power of the rock was slowly changing, making Zhou Jin's body and mind tense for a long time. All extremely comfortable. In the blink of an eye, the tree growing near the brazier was as thick as two people hugging each other, and the seemingly indestructible rock had cracks everywhere. Pieces of green leaves grow on the branches, swaying with the non-existent breeze, making the island that has always been dead appear full of life. The growth of the big tree has not ended. Zhou Jin can hear the roaring sound coming from inside the rock. It should be that the roots of the big tree are spreading. The rock can no longer withstand such damage. Before Zhou Jin notices, the rock suddenly breaks. . Cracking is really normal, but this cracking is too complete. Every stone is completely broken, as if countless sledgehammers are hitting it in turn, and then grinding one side with iron, the stone turns into small particles, and it becomes The gravel is returned, but this process only happens in an instant. At this moment, Zhou Jin also felt that the power of his body was completely shattered, and he returned to the previous state of "turning into sand". But the change was not over yet. Zhou Jin did not react. The big tree suddenly decomposed out of thin air, and a tree several feet high suddenly turned into countless green light spots. These light spots did not scatter with the wind, but?It landed directly on the newly generated sand. The sudden cool breath in Zhou Jin's body also dissipated at this moment, mixing with the previously shattering power. Green light spots fell on the sand, and the sand changed. The fine yellow sand turned into fertile soil. Each green light spot turned into a grass. In the blink of an eye, the sand around the fire basin turned into The grass looks like a green carpet. Zhou Jin watched attentively. He felt that the roots of the grass were intertwined with each other, which turned the area into a whole. Of course, Zhou Jin could not see everything happening under the grass, but he could feel it because the small and cool breath had already The strength that had shattered all over his body was connected into one. Just now, Zhou Jin thought that his power had broken through from the "Thick Earth Realm" to the "Solid Stone Realm". When he saw the big tree growing, he was extremely ecstatic, thinking that he had gone straight to the "Wood Realm", but the scene before his eyes changed. Only then did Zhou Jin realize that he was not growing so fast. If the scene in front of him was really the manifestation of his weapon, then the change from sand to soil should be the "mud" level of the "thick soil realm". Back then, Yun Tianzong once said that at this level, "Mud is heavier than sand and more viscous, which means that as the strength becomes stronger, it integrates with the body more completely." Yun Tianzong is a martial arts prodigy and one of the top strong men in the world. Naturally, the comments he made are correct, but Zhou Jin felt that the internal energy at this time was very different from what Yun Tianzong said. First of all, the strength had indeed become stronger, and it had become much stronger. Such a phenomenon would indeed occur with level breakthroughs. But the feeling of "stickiness" is not there. Now Zhou Jin feels that his power is completely integrated with himself The internal energy is born in the sea of ????Qi in the Dantian and circulates in the meridians. Each skill requires the movement of power. , which means that the power needs to flow from the Dantian Qi sea and circulate in the meridians before it can be applied. But at this moment, Zhou Jin felt that the power was just like blood, muscles and bones, existing evenly throughout the body, that is to say, He doesn't need to exert force, because the internal energy can be used at any time. Zhou Jin tried to run the "Wujia Luang Jing" true energy. The internal energy of the true energy was still functioning normally. What was different from before was that a small and cool breath continued to flow out of the Dantian Qi sea. This breath mixed with the existing internal energy, and the internal energy became It will become stronger and grow a little bit. Don't underestimate this. Internal energy and true energy can only become stronger through continuous practice, and Zhou Jin's current state is equivalent to the situation where he does not need to practice. Internal energy and true energy will become stronger. Although the enhancement is not much, But for warriors who are always striving to become stronger, this is a blessing from heaven. Although Zhou Jin was overjoyed, he was still confused. The various changes that had taken place on the island this time were beyond his understanding. Zhou Jin and Yun Tianzong had discussed martial arts for so long. Despite their own status, they had no understanding of all levels of martial arts. I know it very well, but I never knew this would happen. The mysterious old man has kept his eyes open since the big tree grew. Now he is staring at the grass. His expression that has always been calm and stiff has also changed slightly. However, Zhou Jin, who was focused on himself, did not notice this. He had been thinking about it for a long time. . When Zhou Jin came to his senses, the first thing he did was to ask the old man: "Senior, what level of the 'thick soil realm' is this junior's state at this time? Is it the 'mud' state?" Hearing his question, the old man Only then did he look away from the grass. The old man stared at Zhou Jin. Just like before, Zhou Jin felt that his whole person was being seen through at this moment. He even subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Fortunately, the old man quickly took back this power. , looked up at Zhou Jin, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the realm you are talking about is, but how can those powers be compared with yours!" Zhou Jin understood this. The old man said that his power was extraordinary. , Zhou Jin himself has no objection to this. With this mysterious island, the rapid progress is certainly extraordinary, but what is the real difference, what is the essential difference, this is what Zhou Jin wants to know, master Only by doing this can we make better progress. But the old man felt that Zhou Jin had stayed on the island long enough. After making that conclusion, he waved his hand towards Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin felt a huge force lift him up, and he flew upwards involuntarily. With his body rising rapidly, Zhou Jin looked down at the island. The green space in the center of the island was very conspicuous. Zhou Jin also noticed that the woods on the island were much greener than when he came here. The speed of the rise continued to accelerate, and the island soon turned into a small dot. Zhou Jin suddenly noticed that there were several shadows on the vast water around the island. They looked like giant objects hidden under the water. What exactly were they? ? The increasing distance made it difficult for Zhou Jin to see clearly. The next moment, Zhou Jin was not in the clouds and mist like last time. He seemed to have entered a green light. This green color has nothing to do with poison, but represents infinite vitality. Zhou Jin felt like he had entered the forest after the spring rain, breathingBreathing in the extremely fresh air, I feel extremely comfortable physically and mentally. The green light is not dazzling, and seeing these lights even makes my eyes feel comfortable. Green light has always been green light. There are no criss-crossing light bands. The sphere representing the Dantian Qi sea has always been in this vibrant light. Zhou Jin even felt intoxicated by it. Without any overdoing, Zhou Jin shook his body and woke up. Uncle Hu was looking at him with concern at the door of the room. "Young Master, you have entered samadhi one day at a time Young Master, you have you made another breakthrough?" Uncle Huber exclaimed in surprise as soon as he said his greeting. Uncle Hu kept watching when Zhou entered concentration. He saw that Zhou Jin's face was pale and his whole body was trembling during his practice. Uncle Hu thought that there was something wrong with Zhou Jin's technique and that he was on the verge of going crazy. Uncle Hu was very worried, but he didn't dare to intervene or even call someone to come for treatment. This was because a warrior who was suddenly interrupted when he was practicing meditation and was disturbed by others, or who went into a trap and was seriously injured was a trivial matter. It was very likely that he would fake his death and be completely disabled . Under such circumstances, all Huber could do was wait, waiting for Zhou Jin to wake up, but what Huber didn't expect was that Zhou Jin actually recovered quickly from the state of being seriously injured when he fell into trance, and there was another sign on his skin. There were crystals, and when he woke up, Uncle Huber could even clearly feel the endless fluctuations in Zhou Jin's power. When people wake up from trance, it is often extremely difficult to control the restraint of internal energy. The strength displayed at this moment is the most real. Uncle Huber felt a more powerful aura from Zhou Jin than before entering trance, not to mention the hidden power in Zhou Jin's eyes. The divine light flashed, and any discerning warrior could tell that Zhou Jin had made another breakthrough! Uncle Huber was extremely shocked. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. It has been decades since he was a child. It took him nearly ten years to break through each level. The latest level has not improved in the past fifteen years, and his young master has been in this level for a few years. In the course of ten days, he went from the "virtual realm" at the beginning to the "thick earth realm" without stopping. What a miracle. Even the head of the family, Zhou Yang, could not do it at such a speed. Zhou Jin took a deep breath and gathered his strength. He looked at his palms and replied with some uncertainty: "It should be a breakthrough!" He couldn't judge it himself because he didn't know anything similar at the moment. Examples or experiences can be compared. Uncle Huber was just about to continue asking when he heard Tongchui, the boy outside, shouting: "Manager Zhao from the master's house is here to send a message." Even though Zhou Yang has become the leader of the Five Cities Alliance, everyone in the Zhou family still calls him the master. It also shows the difference between the Zhou family and other big families. Manager Zhao Zhou Jin still remembers it. When he recovered from the serious injury caused by falling from his horse, Manager Zhao came to deliver a message. He didn't know what happened this time. Zhou Jin nodded to Uncle Huber, who went to open the door and led Manager Zhao in. As soon as Manager Zhao entered the room, he paid Zhou a courtesy greeting and was extremely respectful. Seeing this scene, Uncle Hub couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He remembered that when Manager Zhao came here a few times before, his attitude was cold and reserved, and he was not polite to the young master at all. On the contrary, the young master wanted to be polite to him. Now the young master's prestige is finally established. Manager Zhao knows his duty. "Young Master, the master of the house invites you to go to his place." Manager Zhao did not dare to raise his head when he spoke. Although he did not participate in this raid, the news of what happened in Yutucheng has come back. Once confirmed, the Zhou family members were proud and worried at the same time. They were all worried that they would be punished for being negligent and rude to the young master in the past, so Manager Zhao was trembling with fear. Zhou Jin does not have a character like Manager Zhao in his eyes now, but he still said politely: "Excuse me, Manager Zhao, I'll be there right away!" Zhou Jin said politely, but Manager Zhao trembled, Zhou Jin had already After walking out of the house, when Manager Zhao stood up, his forehead was covered with sweat. He smiled dryly and said to Uncle Hu: "The young master is really great. I don't dare to raise my head even if you say something casually." "The tiger father has no dog son, sir. So strong, how can the young master be so bad?" Huber replied with a smile, his face full of relief. He had hoped for so many years that Zhou Jin could be respected as a young master. Now this wish has come true. Zhou Jin has done it. , better than he could have imagined. Zhou Jin walked all the way over there. Along the way, everyone in the Zhou family bowed respectfully and stepped aside. Even the elders were extremely polite. Everyone knows Zhou Jin¡¯s current status, and they also know that because of Zhou Jin¡¯s suggestion, the elder Zhou Zhiqiang went to Brownfield City to serve as the city lord, while the most senior elder Zhou Zhiwu received nothing. A month ago, the most popular young man in the Zhou family was Ming Zhao, but now, no one cares about the missing Ming Zhao, and no one in the Zhou family feels sorry, because they know that their young master Zhou Jin,He is the most outstanding young man in the Five Cities Alliance!
