Chapter 7 Diligence Enhancement Method: Cultivation and Exclusion
boom--!
In his mind, the ancient sword Baque trembled slightly, as if sword energy was dancing wildly!
The pent-up diligence hidden within me burst forth like a river bursting its banks!
The next moment, Bu Che felt a surge of heat coursing through his body, and the snowflakes that hit his face melted away one by one!
In my mind, I seemed to hear a shout, hoarse yet exhilarating!
"Have you become a demonic martial artist? No! If not, how can you sleep at your age?!"
"Hurry! You must be diligent! Study like a student who hangs his head from the rafters and pricks his thigh with an awl!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get up and start training!"
……
Bu Che's mind was buzzing, and he looked completely bewildered.
He felt his blood boiling and a strong desire to cultivate diligently seemed to burst forth from his heart.
However, he did not set off immediately.
Instead, he closed his eyes and recalled the fighting style "Battle Body Hammer" taught by Master Zhou.
hum-
He suddenly opened his eyes.
[Multi-faceted targeting and generation of specialized techniques, martial arts "fighting body and fist"]
[Battle Body Fist and Hammer (Rank 9) - Beginner Level (0/2 Years)]
Before his eyes, a dazzling array of lights appeared, a hint from the Dao Seed [Multi-Diligent Seed]!
It takes two years to get started?
This shows that Bu Che's talent in martial arts was not particularly amazing, and he ultimately missed the golden period for martial arts training.
However, it's not a big problem.
Bu Che couldn't help but raise a slight, upturned curve at the corner of his lips.
"Plant more often, give me some extra!"
Bu Che spread his arms wide, intending to add two years of the ten years of hard work he had received from Master Xu to his Zhan Shen Hammer martial arts!
He wanted to master the Body Hammer technique, and with a single thought, he entered the realm of martial arts!
however……
After waiting for a while, nothing happened.
His fighting style was still far from mastered, and the snowflakes fluttered around him. Bu Che's face was stiff and embarrassed.
"What's going on...? Is the activation method wrong?"
Bu Che frowned.
Helpless, he could only start practicing his fist and hammer techniques on the spot, but as soon as he started, he immediately sensed something unusual.
Because the previously vague memory of the Battle Body Fist and Hammer techniques taught by Master Zhou suddenly became incredibly clear.
With each punch he threw, it was as if...
I typed it about ten times!
Diligence seemed to carry time with it, gradually seeping into his body.
"I used the broken sword to remove my laziness, so the condition for motivating diligence is that I also need to be diligent!"
"In the process of working diligently, diligence and a diligent mind will naturally become integrated into my diligence!"
"I see!"
Although he couldn't add points to Qin Yi's skill with a single thought, Bu Che wasn't too disappointed.
Something is better than nothing, right?
Thinking back to the despair I felt when I first transmigrated to this world, the fact that I can now strengthen myself through diligence and gradually become stronger is also a kind of happiness.
As long as you work hard, you can stimulate the seed of the Tao and receive the blessing of diligence. What's the difference between this and forcing food into your mouth?
woohoo-
Bu Che clenched his fists like hooks and kept punching in the snow-covered training ground!
As the punches were delivered repeatedly, the initial awkwardness in the movements and the lack of coordination were gradually smoothed out.
With each repetition of his fist practice, the increasingly clear fighting techniques of Zhan Shen Quan Hammer made Bu Che's eyes shine brightly, as if he felt no fatigue.
With unrestrained release of energy, the blood in Bu Che's body surged upwards from his skin under the stimulation of the fist techniques, making his whole body hot and steamy, like a piece of red-hot coal sprinkled with water.
"Huff... huff..."
Time is like sand slipping through your fingers, quietly flowing away.
Bu Che exhaled hot breath from his mouth and nose, his tattered cotton clothes soaked with sweat, as if he had been pulled out of a pool. A cold wind blew, and as his blood calmed down, he felt a chilling cold rushing in.
"My body... ultimately has its limits."
"But at this rate, if I exhaust my energy and train diligently for a whole day, it should be equivalent to absorbing Master Xu's year's worth of arduous training!"
Bu Che's heart stirred slightly.
Lights shimmered and intertwined before my eyes.
[Battle Body Fist Hammer (Rank 9) Beginner Level (1/2)]
……
With a bright smile on his face, Bu Che felt his body empty and exhausted, so he quickly ran to sit down and rest under the eaves.
A thunderous roar suddenly came from his stomach, and hunger surged like a tidal wave, draining all the strength from his body.
Bu Che took out the hard, dry flatbread he had brought from Xia Li Village from his bag and, ignoring how hard it was from being frozen, quickly began to bite into it.
After eating two pieces of bread, I was finally able to calm my hunger a little.
Master Zhou said that one cannot neglect one's mouth and stomach when practicing martial arts, and Bu Che finally understood this deeply!
"My body... has become stronger!"
After finishing the bread, Bu Che clenched his fist and could feel his muscles bulging slightly, making him look a bit stronger!
"We can also start practicing stance training and Qi and Blood cultivation. As for Qi and Blood cultivation... we can try it tonight."
Bu Che looked at the darkening sky and pondered.
However, Mr. Zhou said that he did not live in the Broken Porcelain Workshop...
Someone will take him there, but where is that person?
Bu Che looked around, and suddenly, a chill crept into his heart. Ten feet away, snow was falling.
The evil spirit dressed in a bright red robe, holding jade and gold ingots, reappeared.
The evil spirit's face was cracked as it stared at Bu Che, tilted its head and smiled, then suddenly, as Bu Che's gaze narrowed slightly.
A step has been taken.
"clatter--!"
The sound of footsteps, like heavy hammers striking the ground, hit Bu Che's brow and Niwan Palace, making him dizzy!
Suddenly, a strong and powerful hand appeared and landed on Bu Che's shoulder.
"wake up--!"
Accompanied by a powerful, thunderous rebuke, full of vigor and energy.
Bu Che's dizziness gradually disappeared.
"Thank you for your help, senior brother."
Bu Che shook his head, took a deep breath, and clasped his hands in thanks to the figure who had intervened.
My heart was shrouded in gloom, burning with anger, and I cursed the evil thoughts of ghosts and gods!
He was puzzled... The Baque Sword had devoured the ghostly thoughts within the ghostly porcelain statue, so why hadn't this thing been devoured, but instead turned its attention to him?
He still knew too little about the thoughts of ghosts and spirits; he needed to understand and study the pathways of these thoughts!
However, this matter involves the Baque Sword, so Bu Che must be cautious.
"Old Zhou said a jinx had come, and now it seems he really is... Haunted by evil thoughts, he will surely die in seven days."
A faint voice came from the figure who had rescued Bu Che.
It was a burly figure, his muscles bulging like a coiled dragon.
"My name is Kong Ci. I am a formal porcelain breaker under Master Zhou, and also Master Zhou's apprentice."
Kong Ci had short hair and bright eyes. On a snowy day, he wore only a sleeveless short jacket. His hot blood rushed towards Bu Che, making him feel as if he were leaning against a furnace.
Just as Kong Ci finished his introduction, a chorus of footsteps echoed behind him, and the apprentices of Broken Porcelain who had been staying in the Broken Porcelain Courtyard came out one after another.
Kong Ci said calmly, "No one is allowed to live in the Broken Porcelain Workshop. It's not that we don't allow it, but that you can't live there. At night, the ghostly and spiritual energy is too strong, and your bodies, which haven't yet reached the Qi level, can't withstand it."
"Therefore, apprentices are usually assigned to live with apprentices from other workshops in the porcelain kiln, where there are shrines for spirits and deities to ensure their safety."
"No porcelain kiln, including the imperial kiln, would provide accommodation for apprentices. Therefore, the apprentices' courtyard was located outside the Xue family mansion."
"Come on, follow me, let's see which room still has a spare bed for you."
Kong Ci patted Bu Che on the shoulder, then suddenly frowned: "Why are you covered in sweat? Did you work out practicing Battle Body Fist?"
"Take care of yourself and don't catch a cold. If your qi and blood are deficient and your yang energy is insufficient, you will have even less chance to resist the invasion of evil spirits and you will be completely beyond saving."
Kong Ci kindly reminded him.
He then took Bu Che and left the Broken Porcelain Workshop.
Once outside the Broken Porcelain Workshop, the chill in the air lessened considerably. Bu Che, carrying his bundle and baggage, followed behind Kong Ci.
Kong Ci led Bu Che out of the grand gate of the Xue family mansion and continued walking along the main street until they soon arrived at their residence, a large courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there was a shrine to ghosts and gods. An old man dressed in cloth, with a bulging back like a tortoise shell, was burning incense and kowtowing to the ghosts and gods.
Wisps of smoke rose and drifted in the light of the lanterns.
"Manager Liu, this is our newly recruited apprentice at the Broken Porcelain Workshop. See if there are any empty beds in the apprentice's courtyard and arrange one for him."
The hunched-over old man with a turtle-like back squinted and glanced at Bu Che.
"His forehead is dark, and he's shrouded in malice; it seems this little guy won't stay long..."
"Come with me, old man."
Manager Liu turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly like an old tortoise into the courtyard.
Kong Ci did not go inside. Bringing Bu Che here was enough to complete his mission. Looking at the courtyard, which seemed to be swallowed up by the howling wind and snow, he sighed softly.
Then, with a light touch of his toes, he suddenly turned around, broke through the wind and snow, and left.
……
……
"Another apprentice from the broken porcelain workshop? What a damn bad luck!"
"There are dead people right in front of and behind me, so don't choose my side, otherwise my bed will be surrounded by dead people on all sides."
"Ugh, this rotten stuff from the Broken Porcelain Workshop, can you please stop cramming it into the courtyard of us apprentices from the Cleaning Workshop?"
……
The apprentice's courtyard, room number seventeen.
As soon as Manager Liu led Bu Che inside, pairs of eyes quickly swept over them.
They sat on the beds covered with tattered cotton quilts, staring at Bu Che's apprentices with ill intentions and a resistance that feared being tainted by misfortune and bad luck.
"These are apprentices from other workshops in the cave. There should be a few beds left in room number seventeen. Go and choose a spot yourself."
Manager Liu said calmly.
Bu Che was taken aback. Find it yourself? So free?
Before Bu Che could ask, Steward Liu turned around and said, "Those on duty tomorrow, remember to sweep the snow in the yard. Anyone who doesn't will have five coins deducted from their salary."
After speaking, Steward Liu, carrying the tortoise's back, nimbly disappeared through the doorway.
Bu Che felt embarrassed. Amidst the unbridled resistance and disgusted gazes of the many apprentices, he walked towards a bed. However, before he could put his things down, his bed was taken over by clothes suddenly thrown from the next bed.
"Come to my place." A deep voice came from a bed in the corner.
