Chapter 6 Rushing Top to Open Aperture

Chu Jun sat down cross-legged. According to the cultivation technique, he held Yuan Shouyi in his arms and focused his thoughts on the Yongquan acupoint beneath his feet. He imagined that he was in the boundless grassland, and the bright moonlight in the sky shone all over him.

After sitting there for half an hour, Chu Jun felt his legs numb and his foreheads slightly swollen, but he didn't gain anything. He couldn't help but open his eyes and bitterly smile, "Bullshit techniques, everything depends on imagination. Sooner or later, he will become an idiot!"

Chu Jun pinched his numb legs and covered them with a blanket to sleep. Perhaps because of his inertia, Chu Jun's thoughts were still concentrated on the right foot. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet jumped for a while, and then a warm feeling arose. Chu Jun's slight drowsiness immediately disappeared. He excitedly sat up and continued to guard Yongquan acupoint.

Gradually, the warmth of the Yongquan acupoint became more and more obvious. Chu Jun tried to use the method described in the incantation to induce the warmth. That warmth really slowly moved along with his will. Chu Jun was overjoyed. It seemed that the cultivation technique that the woman in his dream had taught him was true. Inspired, Chu Jun tried even harder to draw warmth. The warmth slowly moved along his meridians to his ankles, then up to three li below his knees, and then stopped moving. No matter how much Chu Jun tried, he could not move up at all.

Chu Jun's personality was resolute, and he also had an unyielding temperament. Even if he had to drill through the horns of an ox, he would still have to pierce through them. Chu Jun gathered his thoughts together with Nuan Yi and urged him to go up with all his might. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The more Chu Jun acted like this, the more ineffective it became. He stayed with warmth and refused to leave. Even thousands of cows could not move. Chu Jun's face became paler and paler. Sweat oozed out of his forehead. Both sides of his forehead were swollen and painful. This was a phenomenon of excessive exhaustion of spiritual energy. If he allowed it to continue to develop, it would leave behind a headache, and if it continued to develop, it would turn into an idiot. Chu Jun didn't know how formidable it was, but he still continued to urge warmth upwards according to his cultivation method.

Suddenly, a ball of gentle white light appeared between Chu Jun's eyebrows and turned into a graceful figure. The light figure stood in front of the bed and stared at the pale-faced Chu Jun with his lips turning green. He sighed, "What a stubborn fellow. Unfortunately, it seems that the human race is indeed not suitable for cultivating their own martial arts … Eh!"

Chu Jun felt as if his mind was about to explode. He had no choice but to give up. The warmth in the third mile actually rushed upwards along his meridians. In an instant, it passed through the Shenyu acupoint and the Dazhui acupoint. The entire Du meridian on his back was connected to the Baihui acupoint above his head.

Chu Jun only felt a buzzing sound in his ears. It was like a thunderous drum, and his brain was empty. It was as if a skylight had opened, and the gentle moonlight spilled in from the skylight.

"This is the Aperture Opening!" Chu Jun was extremely pleasantly surprised. This kind of feeling was clearly what the light-shadow woman in his dream had said about rushing to the top to open his apertures.

The woman standing in front of the bed looked at the gentle light above Chu Jun 's head in astonishment. "This brat actually used only one night to break open his aperture!"

Chongding Kaiqiao was to open up the meridians from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, connecting the heavens, earth, sun, and moon. From then on, he could absorb the essence of moonlight to nourish his body and refine the divine power stored in the Yongquan acupoint on his feet. This Moon Frost Art was obviously different from normal cultivation methods. It was not refined from spiritual energy, but from the essence of moonlight. The storage method was also different.

After Chu Jun was excited, he followed the instructions and slowly absorbed the moonlight shining through the Baihui acupoint. Threads of cool energy flowed down his meridians, continuously nourishing his flesh and blood meridians, and finally entering the Yongquan acupoint on his right foot. Chu Jun felt that his right foot was immersed in the cool spring water, feeling extremely comfortable.

When Chu Jun opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the chirping of the morning birds could be heard from outside. Chu Jun stretched lazily, feeling refreshed. He realized that his originally slightly painful internal organs were no longer painful. He jumped out of bed and moved a few times without any discomfort. Chu Jun couldn't help but be secretly delighted. It seemed that his injuries were almost healed. It must be the result of the nourishment of the moonlight essence.

Chu Jun pushed open the small door of the wooden house and walked out. He saw the surrounding trees growing into cute rows. Both sides of the wooden house were cultivated land that had been cultivated into beds. Short green seedlings had already grown out of the ground. Chu Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly. His grand Snow Leopard Special Warfare Team was going to become a farmer in the future.

" Chu Jun , why did you get out of bed?" Duan Li , who had turned out from behind the tree, shouted from afar.

Chu Jun grinned, "Good morning, Brother Duan. If you don't get out of bed, you'll be moldy!"

Duan Li didn't like others to say that he was old, so Chu Jun called him Brother Duan. In fact, Duan Li wasn't old either. He was in his early forties, but his face was mottled with wind and frost. It was hard to believe that he was only forty years old. If a person had cultivated for more than 20 years, he would probably have turned into Duan Li's current respectful appearance under the wind and sunshine.

Duan Li walked up to Chu Jun and sized him up for a while. He reached out and patted the latter's shoulder. Finally, a smile bloomed on his face like a chrysanthemum. "You're quite skinny, brat. As expected, you're pretty good. Then I can hand over the job to Senior Brother Lin Ping!"

Chu Jun sincerely said, "Thank you, Brother Duan, for taking care of me during this period of time!"

Duan Li waved his hand and said, "Don't say such nonsense. Besides, I have received my salary. I want to thank you, Senior Brother Xie Lin Ping!"

Chu Jun nodded. Compared to Lin Ping, Chu Jun preferred to deal with Duan Li . Although Lin Ping was very calm and approachable, his work was steady, and he did not have the arrogance of a red-clothed girl like Ning Yun , Chu Jun felt that this person was too watertight, and that the city was too deep, so he had no choice but to be careful when dealing with him.

"I'll take advantage of your free time today to take a look at your spiritual field. You can familiarize yourself with the environment!" Duan Li said enthusiastically.

Chu Jun followed Duan Li to the Spirit Planting Hall to collect a Spirit Reclamation Hoe and a bag of Spirit Millet seeds. The Spirit Millet seeds were provided free of charge, but the Spirit Reclamation Hoe required ten Spirit Beans to purchase. Chu Jun had already eaten one of the ten spirit beans from Lin Ping last night. Fortunately, Duan Li took out one to replenish it.

"Thank you, Brother Duan. I will return it to you in the future!" Chu Jun said.

Duan Li waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. There's no need to mention it … Mm … you don't have a single spirit bean on you now. Take the ten spirit beans here first for emergency!" As he spoke, he poured out ten spirit beans and handed them to Chu Jun .

Chu Jun wasn't polite either. He simply took it and put it on, saying, "I'll return it to you in a few days!"

Duan Li pretended to be generous and waved his hand, "There's no need to worry about this. We'll talk about it when you have enough money!"

Although Chu Jun was young, he was quite smart. He was able to capture the pain in Duan Li's eyes when he poured out the Spirit Bean. From this, it could be seen that Duan Li was not a generous person. There were only two reasons why such a person pretended to be generous. One was because he had good face, and the other was because he wanted to obtain a greater return. Duan Li clearly belonged to the latter. Because Chu Jun had been brought back by Lin Ping and had even directly become an outer sect disciple, Duan Li believed that Chu Jun's relationship with Lin Ping was extraordinary. Lin Ping was an outstanding inner sect disciple. Normally, outer sect disciples would treat ordinary inner sect disciples like Buddhas, let alone inner sect core disciples like Lin Ping. Therefore, Duan Li, a notoriously stingy fellow, was generous to Chu Jun.

Duan Li led Chu Jun to an open space of about ten mu and stopped. He smiled and said, "This land will be your responsibility in the future. As long as you hand over two thousand jin of spiritual millet per mu, the rest will be yours!"

"How many spiritual millets can you produce per mu?" Chu Jun asked curiously.

Duan Li smiled and said, "It depends on your planting level and the year. If the year is average and the yield per mu is 2300-400 kg, then the year will be good and it will probably reach 3000 kg!"

Chu Jun calculated. If the year was average, he would be able to intercept 300 jin of Spirit Beans per mu. That was 30 Spirit Beans. If he earned 300 beans per mu, he would earn 600 Spirit Beans per year. Compared to risking his life to hunt Spirit Beasts in the city, it was indeed much more generous. No wonder so many people were competing to become outer disciples of Zhengtian Sect.

"Brother Duan, you are in charge of a hundred acres of spiritual fields. Even if the year is not good, there will still be 6,000 spiritual beans a year!" Chu Jun said in shock.

Duan Li chuckled. The wrinkles on his face blossomed. He shook his head and said, "Actually, there are not as many as you think. If you want to give the spiritual millet to someone special to make spiritual beans, you will have to deduct 10% of the processing fee. If there are diseases and pests, you will have to spend a sum of money to treat them. The remaining 50% is not bad. If you encounter years are too bad, there will be no grain harvest!"

Duan Li 's mottled old face revealed a sad expression. He seemed to recall a year when there was no grain harvest. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Today should be a good year. After the harvest, I'll have enough spirit beans to give my son a betrothal gift!"

Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, then secretly sighed, "Indeed, it is the heart of a pitiful father and mother!"

Duan Li took the Spirit Reclamation Hoe and gave Chu Jun a few demonstrations. He warned, "The Spirit Reclamation Hoe can stimulate the spiritual energy in the soil of the Spirit Field and make the Spirit Millet grow more vigorous. After the Spirit Field is turned over, the soil will be sunk for a few days. If conditions permit, you can put some Spirit Worms into the Spirit Field … and the Spirit Reclamation Hoe can't use excessive force, otherwise it will break easily …"

Chu Jun listened to Duan Li 's endless chatter and quietly memorized all kinds of notices and essentials, asking a few questions from time to time.

"Duan Lao Keng, your level is very limited. You're still teaching others!" A mocking voice sounded behind him.

Chu Jun turned around and saw three burly men with bare bosoms walking over with ruffianism, their eyes staring at him unfriendly.

Duan Li winked at Chu Jun , signaling him to remain silent. He smiled at the three men and said, "Brother Niu, you're laughing. I can only teach you a few tricks with half a bucket of water in my hand!"

The big man in the lead glanced at Chu Jun contemptuously and asked carelessly, "Newcomer?"

Duan Li hurriedly said, "It's Lin …!"

"Shut up, Brother Niu didn't ask you!" The big man on the left shouted.

Chu Jun didn't even need to think about it to know that these three fellows were local snakes amongst the outer sect disciples. He nodded his head neither humbly nor arrogantly and said, "My name is Chu Jun. I'm a newcomer. Please take care of the three senior brothers in the future!"

The three burly men laughed heartily. The leader patted Chu Jun's shoulder and said, "Chu Jun … well, our brothers will definitely take good care of you in the future!"

When the other two men heard this, they laughed maliciously, "Kid, do a good job. Brother Niu, look after you!"
