chapter 1 : Determined young man

Hills accompanied by abundant stretches of rice terraces on the lower edge of beautiful nature in a mountainous area where there are high, big and blue mountains. At the foot of the mountain there is a flowing river, the water is clear and fresh, the mountain forests are lush, green. The peaks the mountains pierced the clouds like swords, looking majestic and spectacular.

In the mountainous areas there are many rice fields and the village is called Greene Village, located on the side of countless mountains. The population is mostly farmers.

A large rock lay against a steep wall somewhere in the mountains. A young man dressed all in white sat cross-legged on it with his eyes tightly closed.

With the clear sky, the rays of light from the morning sun rising towards the east shone directly on the young man's face, his bright and smooth skin was flawless. He was tall and slim with a calm face and a slight smile. He had a unique charisma and looked very carefree and relaxed, as if as if he were a cloud in the sky carried by the wind.

A young man who was meditating with, his hands clasped in a strange yet relaxed manner,

His chest rose and fell peacefully with the rhythm of his breathing. It's all just… so natural! With each breath, an invisible stream of what looked like air flowed into the young man's nose and mouth, entering his body and reforming it.

While the young man was meditating a strange but faint sparkle appeared as the flow in his body came out,

"Huuuu…" when a line appeared between his eyebrows suddenly the young man's eyebrows jerked together, his eyes opened wide.

A pale white light flashed in the black pupils, the Qi that had just been absorbed but not yet completely refined had disappeared

"This is the thousandth time I've tried! It took me a lot of effort to get that Qi, but...it disappeared again! No, no, please don't..." The young man tried desperately to keep the disappearing Qi from slipping away but to no avail. As the last bit of Qi left his body, the young man's face changed from calm to angry and extremely desperate and his voice rose in anger, as if he had just lost both his parents.

He quickly clenched his fists and unclenched them. Finally, his face changed from extreme anger to a forced grin, However, there was nothing he could do about it, Wearily, he dragged his body from his spot and stretched his stiff legs with his mortal physique.

True Qi Cultivation is a form of internal martial arts. People who practice True Qi cultivation are known as Qi Practitioners. Because of its power and energy, True Qi Cultivation is highly sought after, but due to the high demand for talents, not many people can successfully practice it. As a result, commoners and people with fewer resources turned to cultivating Inner Strength.

True Qi cultivation is divided into ten layers.

The path of Qi practice is to open the eight extraordinary meridian channels, namely the Yang Heel meridian, the Yin Heel meridian, the Connecting Yang meridian, the Connecting Yin meridian, the Corset meridian, the Penetration meridian, the Conception meridian, and the Governing meridian.

The eight extraordinary meridians do not connect directly to the internal organs, nor do they connect the outside with the inside, which is why they are called extraordinary meridians. Each one covers the entire body, connecting several major acupuncture points. With each open, their True Qi would grow a little stronger, and that was a layer. Fully opening all eight extraordinary meridians would reach the ninth layer.

Reaching the tenth layer would be even more difficult. This requires complete opening of the twelve standard meridians, namely three yin meridians in the arms, three yang meridians in the arms, three yin meridians in the legs, and three yang meridians in the feet. These twelve standard meridians crisscross each other, connecting the hands and feet with the internal organs and the five elements. It was easy to suffer from Qi deviation and injure organs, but once one broke through, they would be able to reach the tenth layer, the realm of perfection, reaching the peak of Qi Practitioner.

The young man's name is Li Dalang, he comes from the earth and transmigrated to this world with the same name since birth, growing up with an ever-increasing understanding of the new world which they call the five great continents.

Li Dalang Living safely and peacefully in a rural family far from cultivators, initially Li Dalang never dreamed of becoming a cultivator. He barely even knew what cultivation was, let alone want to do it. However, when he studied it from the book of understanding about cultivators, suddenly the determination that flashed in Li Puppeteer's eyes became clear, he could only be grateful that he was born again to find himself on the five great continents of this world,

In fact, the thought that crossed Li Dalang's mind since he understood what a cultivator was at that time, was that he didn't want to die a second time. And fate had given him a second chance, this time Li Dalang was full of determination and wanted to pursue what is called eternal immortality. truly eternal.

But like a stubborn bull with a heart made of stone, Li Dalang couldn't accept the fact, the fact that he couldn't...cultivate.

Li the mastermind has tried everything and tried thousands of times and still failed until day after day, he is now twenty years old.

Year after year makes the heart made of stone become more and more cracked day by day, the determination that once flashed in Li Dalang's eyes is now starting to waver,

As Li Dalang goes about his day, he just hopes that he can meet or coincidentally, a master teacher will guide him to study and become his student in the future,

However, the place where Li Dalang currently lives is quite far from the cultivator civilization where Qian Renshu lives. Even though Li Dalang wants to leave his hometown and travel to the world of cultivators, because Li Dalang's determination is starting to waver, he wants to confirm it for himself in such a way, to clarify whether it is true. There was a cultivator on this big five continent, this thought kept running through his mind all this time making him very frustrated,

Even though it was in Li Dalang's mind that he wanted to leave his hometown, Li Dalang couldn't bear to leave his parents. Currently, they have cared for him since he was little, giving him sincere love like parents in general and quickly erasing unclear thoughts about leaving. his hometown.

At this time, Li Dalang was tired of all that, but despite all that, a little determination still flashed in his sparkling pitch black eyes when he turned to the bright morning sky,

"For me, life is too short to spend it on mediocrity."

"Everyone has failed. Some have given up, some will get back up. So there are losers, and there are winners."

"I will make sure that Li Dalang!! will be the winner!!" The mountains echoed with a steady and clear voice, but surely, Li Dalang's eyes again showed determination full of confidence.

After getting up and taking the empty Woven Bamboo Bag nearby, Li Dalang prepared to walk down the mountain with his tall figure, you could faintly see the corner of the young man's mouth curling into a smile, as if making him a little mysterious.

Not knowing what was happening to him at the moment, something that Li Dalang understood at the moment was a hunch he told himself.

One thing is certain that today all luck will turn around... it will focus on him.
