Du Ruo gave two things this time. One was the crystal with spiritual energy that he gave to the foxes last time for them to study.
Now is the age of modern science. He doesn't want the level of civilization to regress because of his practice. He wants to see what kind of sparks can be created by the combination of science and spiritual energy.
He couldn't give any effective advice, but it was no problem for him to provide a large number of spiritual energy specimens for these people to study.
Moreover, the spiritual energy specimens provided this time are more numerous and more concentrated, which should be enough for those people to research a lot of things.
In addition to the spiritual energy crystals, the most important thing is a new set of cultivation methods.
The previous training methods were the simplest and most basic, and were designed based on a comprehensive understanding of traditional martial arts.
It mainly starts with physical training and some basic exercise movements, and the parts about breathing and meditation are very primitive. Everything is based on regulating oneself and passively absorbing the spiritual energy that is breathed in and taken in.
It's not that it's inefficient, it's just that it's very primitive, and very suitable for people to practice when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not abundant.
The set of cultivation techniques given now has been greatly improved.
Although movement training is still there, it is no longer the most important part. This time, meditation and breathing are used as the introduction, and the movement training is not a simple movement. It is more difficult and the movements are more intense.
If the two are combined, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can be utilized more efficiently.
Of course, this also has advantages and disadvantages.
The previous practice was suitable for everyone, from a three-year-old child to an eighty-year-old lady. However, the more it was suitable for everyone, the more basic it was and the lower the efficiency.
Now that the efficiency is high, there are naturally higher requirements for the body. The movements are very difficult, and ordinary people under the age of fourteen and over thirty-five are no longer suitable for practice.
But Du Ruo did not completely block the road. After all, it was promoted to the whole nation, and the band's practice would definitely be beneficial to Du Ruo.
Therefore, the new cultivation method provided by Du Ruo can be separated.
The meditation and breathing parts can be separated. People over 35 years old can use the previous set of basic introductory martial arts. By combining them, the efficiency will be greatly improved.
Although it cannot be compared with the latest martial arts, if you have reached the level and physical fitness, you can still practice the latest martial arts.
Moreover, the difficulty of the new exercises is increasing. It is divided into thirty-six movements, with one difficulty for every twelve movements, and the training efficiency of each difficulty is different.
Du Ruo's new technique is equivalent to opening an extra door for geniuses. The more talented they are, the more efficient they are in absorbing spiritual energy and the faster they practice.
The most important thing is that Du Ruo’s meditation and breathing parts are specially designed. It is not just about sitting still and breathing to the rhythm.
This requires some mental methods and mantras, which are not difficult for people in China to understand, but not so easy for foreigners to understand. It takes a lot of energy to learn them thoroughly. This can be regarded as a small anti-theft and cultural promotion.
In addition, the meditation techniques and breathing exercises are not fixed. Instead, the deeper your understanding, the more in tune with nature you will be. Ultimately, your efficiency in absorbing and breathing in spiritual energy will be higher.
It can be said that Du Ruo's technique is not only more suitable for the current environment with abundant spiritual energy, but has also begun to stratify the entire society.
People with good comprehension or better physical innate abilities will begin to show their talents, and even truly achieve a class leap, surpassing those who started practicing martial arts before the revival of spiritual energy.
This is also the reason why the fox was so nervous and excited when he left.
The previous training methods put everyone at the same level. As long as they worked hard, they could build a good physical foundation. But now is the time to start screening for talent.
Even one genius picked out from ten thousand is not enough, because among billion people, there are only 140,000 geniuses picked out from ten thousand.
Du Ruo actually asked Fox to bring a suggestion to the higher-ups, which was to publish all the traditional martial arts written by Du Ruo.
When it comes to practicing martial arts, it's impossible to just practice, you still have to practice it. The traditional martial arts of various schools and factions will surely bring more excitement and motivation to people.
It will not make martial arts training boring, and Du Ruo has never underestimated the wisdom of the public. He hopes that someone can use these martial arts as a basis to create more advanced martial arts.
At that time, he only needs to make further improvements and upgrades, and everything will be at his disposal. He can even use the imagination of those people to directly develop higher fighting methods.
Of course, Du Ruo only gave suggestions and did not propose more. Just like before, the promotion and planning were left to the higher-ups, and he only observed and provided a safety net.
"However, since I am in a good mood today, why not absorb the spiritual energy stored behind the Heavenly Gate?"
After the fox left, Du Ruo looked up at the sky and decided to wait until night to absorb the spiritual energy that had been stored for a long time.
In fact, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is already quite rich now, and it is still becoming more and more rich.
The reason why Du Ruo said that the spiritual energy traction stopped growing was not because the spiritual energy was no longer being drawn over, but because the amount of spiritual energy being drawn over began to become fixed.
In the beginning, when martial arts were not promoted comprehensively, the amount of spiritual energy attracted was just like a trickle. Later, when it was promoted comprehensively, the amount began to increase, just like a stream.
When the whole world began to practice martial arts, the spiritual energy that was drawn in continued to increase. Until a month ago, the amount of spiritual energy drawn in was like a river. At this time, the amount of spiritual energy drawn in every day was actually not small.
Because such a large amount cannot be consumed by those who practice the most basic martial arts. With the accumulation of time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will only become more and more dense.
But this is not what Du Ruo wants. If he keeps waiting, he still feels a little uneasy. He can wait, but some people may not be able to.
Therefore, he needs to speed up the progress again and improve the progress of the golden elixir. At least before the spiritual energy reaches a certain level, he needs to obtain certain means to appease the hearts of many people.
At night, Du Ruo flew into the Heavenly Gate. This time he did not plan to plunder the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale. He only wanted to absorb the part that he had intercepted, so he did not notify Fox and others.
It's a pity that after all this spiritual energy was absorbed, the final progress of the golden elixir only reached , and no new abilities were gained.
Du Ruo has also discovered that the further you go, the more spiritual energy you need.
Now he has no one to compete with, and he absorbs spiritual energy in an unreasonable and predatory manner.
It is conceivable that if in the future, someone else wants to condense a golden elixir, how much time and energy will be needed to absorb spiritual energy without the same conditions as him.
And how much spiritual energy will be consumed.
These are all things that Du Ruo needs to think about and solve.
Moreover, Du Ruo still didn't know why this world was absorbing so much spiritual energy, and what kind of changes would occur after absorbing a certain level of spiritual energy.
So until now, Du Ruo has not slacked off at all. This is why, while improving himself, he also wants to help others improve and even develop technological power.
A person's power is always limited, and he needs to keep some trump cards and means, or some backup plans to deal with the future.
It is best if there is no crisis, but if there is a crisis, we can respond to it early.
……
Time flies, the days and months pass by, and time always passes by inadvertently. Even someone like Du Ruo is unable to resist the torrent of time.
"Oh my god~ Hurry up and get off!! Ah Da, Da Er, hurry up and get off, this is the meat for daddy, not for you!!!"
At the foot of Huangshan Mountain, in Dujia Village, at Du Ruo's home, little Du Heng was now able to walk and speak fluently.
At this time, little Du Heng was standing in the house on the second floor, holding a large piece of pork ribs full of meat in his hand, shouting in a baby voice.
On her body, two little clouded leopards had their upper limbs hanging on her clothes and their lower limbs on the ground. They kept jumping around, trying very hard to climb up and bite the ribs that little Duheng was holding.
The little clouded leopard is only five months old, but its body is slender. When it stands up, it is almost as tall as little Duheng, and that's without including its tail.
On the balcony, Du Ruo was sleeping with his eyes closed on a recliner. There was no Tiger Vanguard under him, but Clouded Leopard was lying on top of Du Ruo, also dozing off.
"Meow~~"
The clouded leopard heard little Duheng's cry, opened its eyes, jumped off Du Ruo, stretched after landing, then called out, and then walked slowly towards little Duheng.
"Wow~ Clouded Leopard, come and take care of your baby, I can't leave."
When little Du Heng saw the clouded leopard, he felt like he had seen a savior. He held up the pork ribs in his hand and a bright smile appeared on his face.
“Pah, pah~~”
The clouded leopard came to little Duheng, then opened its claws left and right, and slapped the two little clouded leopards one by one, directly slapping them to both sides.
"Hehe, clouded leopard is so nice, I'll come play with you later ~ Daddy, Daddy ~ ~"
Little Duheng giggled, then ran happily on the ground with her little feet, calling her dad as she ran. "Hey, dear daughter, come here, let dad hug you~"
Du Ruo opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, he sat up from the recliner, opened his arms, and picked up little Du Heng who was jogging over.
"Dad, you eat it, you eat it! Mom just cooked it, it's delicious."
Little Du Heng is very smart and speaks very clearly. Not only that, his thinking is also very organized. While speaking, he put the ribs in his hand close to Du Ruo's mouth and asked Du Ruo to eat. You can't tell at all that he is just over one year and two months old.
"Okay, okay, dear daughter, have you eaten?"
Du Ruo took a bite of the pork ribs and then started asking little Du Heng.
"Yeah, I've eaten it. Look over here."
When little Du Heng saw that Du Ruo was eating happily, her big eyes narrowed with a smile, and she loosened her chubby left hand. A lot of meat on the ribs had been bitten off, and there were many teeth marks in the middle. It can be seen that she was eating with great effort.
"Well, I'll eat it, you go play with the clouded leopard."
Du Ruo didn't mind the bitten rib. He took it with a smile and started to chew it, letting little Du Heng play with the clouded leopard.
"Well, then Dad, you can go back to sleep after you finish eating. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Little Du Heng nodded, then got down from Du Ruo's arms, happily ran to catch the two little clouded leopards that had just been blown away, and wiped the juice from the ribs in his hand on the back of the little clouded leopard.
"Haha~"
Du Ruo smiled, finished the ribs in a few bites, then closed his eyes and began to daydream.
Not only Xiang Yuanyuan, but even little Du Heng has gotten used to Du Ruo's condition. She has gotten used to her father being lazy and basking in the sun and sleeping in every day.
Du Ruo's mind did not wander too far, but rather to the Huangshan forest behind him. At this moment, Du Ruo's whole mind remained on the mountain, until Xiang Yuanyuan's loud scolding, he returned to his senses.
“Clouded Leopard!!! You don’t even feed your own baby, why are you secretly feeding Du Heng!!!! Du Heng!!!! Just shut up!!!”
Xiang Yuanyuan stood at the balcony door with her hands on her hips, her scolding full of helplessness.
Du Ruo looked over and also found it a little funny.
The clouded leopard was lying on its side on the ground, while little Du Heng was lying on the ground with his little head on the clouded leopard's belly, drinking the clouded leopard's milk with a smacking sound in his mouth.
The two little clouded leopards nearby also wanted to come over to have a sip, but every time they got close, the clouded leopard would kick them away one by one and not let them drink.
"I didn't drink it, it was Ada and Aer who drank it, burp~~"
Little Du Heng was frightened by Xiang Yuanyuan's scolding. He quickly changed his posture from lying on his stomach to kneeling, and turned around to try to explain himself.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but hiccuping.
"You, you!!! I'm so mad at you. And you, if you feed her milk again, I'll drive you back to the mountain!!"
Xiang Yuanyuan walked over, grabbed the clothes on Xiao Duheng's back, lifted her up, then pointed at Yunbao and Xiao Duheng and spoke to them in a bad mood.
After saying that, Xiang Yuanyuan turned around and rolled her eyes at Du Ruo.
"Hey, it's okay. It's okay to drink a little once in a while."
Du Ruo smiled awkwardly, then went over and took over Xiang Yuanyuan's hand holding little Du Heng, but said something without much concern.
"How can it be alright?? At this rate, the clouded leopard will never stop feeding, and this little guy will never be able to stop feeding. Mine has been stopped, but this clouded leopard keeps feeding secretly and can never be borrowed."
Xiang Yuanyuan became more and more angry, but there was nothing she could do about the two guys, and Du Ruo was particularly indulgent.
When the clouded leopard became pregnant, Xiang Yuanyuan was worried about its safety and did not let it go back to the forest. Two months later, the clouded leopard gave birth to two cubs, and then the clouded leopard stayed at home with the two cubs.
At that time, little Du Heng was only eight months old, and it was time for her to stop breastfeeding.
Then the clouded leopard's maternal love overflowed, and she would often secretly run over to feed little Duheng.
At that time, little Du Heng didn't know anything. He was naturally happy to have milk to drink.
And then...then it was just like just now. Whenever Xiang Yuanyuan or Li Qiyao didn't look after them, the man and the leopard would sneakily hide here to drink milk, and they wouldn't change their ways, which almost pissed Xiang Yuanyuan off to death.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. My dear daughter is too old to continue like this. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them in the future. Let's go downstairs to eat. Honey, how about a drink today?"
Du Ruo quickly apologized, then pushed Xiang Yuanyuan downstairs. While talking, he did not forget to divert Xiang Yuanyuan's attention and tempt her with wine.
Xiang Yuanyuan has already weaned little Du Heng off her mother's milk, so she would occasionally have a few drinks with Du Ruo, but she wasn't as addicted to alcohol as before, and they would only drink a little at night.
"Humph~ I'm so angry. You said so. I can't let her drink anymore in the future."
Xiang Yuanyuan was the one who had the least temper towards Du Ruo, but she was still afraid that Du Ruo would indulge little Du Heng, so while walking downstairs, she asked Du Ruo to give a positive answer.
"I definitely won't let her drink. There's a reason why I've been distracted lately. I'll take you to the mountain tonight, and then you'll know why. Let's go and have dinner in the afternoon."
Du Ruo held little Du Heng in one hand and Xiang Yuanyuan's waist with the other, and started walking towards the restaurant.
"Come and eat, baby, I'll take you to wash your hands."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Li Qiyao had already set the table. She then took Little Du Heng from Du Ruo's hands and went to wash her hands.
During this period of time, Li Qiyao has been staying at Du Ruo's house.
At the beginning, Du Ruo wanted Xiang Yuanyuan to persuade Li Qiyao that there was no need to stay here all the time. Li Qiyao is getting younger and younger, more beautiful and elegant, and she can definitely have a better future.
However, Xiang Yuanyuan just smiled and shook her head. From then on, Du Ruo no longer said anything and slowly got used to the presence of Li Qiyao at home.
Du Ruo and her did not have any relationship, and Li Qiyao never showed or expressed anything. The relationship between the three was not ambiguous. It was like a relationship between family members, and it did not feel abrupt.
"Ah Qi, let Xiao Duheng sleep with you tonight. Yuanyuan and I will go to the mountain."
At the dinner table, Du Ruo spoke.
"Um, okay."
Li Qiyao looked at little Du Heng who was eating food in a child's chair nearby, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You need to keep an eye on her. Don't let her play with the clouded leopard alone. She just secretly drank milk from it. Now she can't even eat."
Xiang Yuanyuan got angry again when she thought of this. She looked at Xiao Duheng and did not forget to give Li Qiyao some instructions.
"It's actually okay to drink a little...Okay, I'll definitely take care of it."
Li Qiyao actually doted on little Duheng the most, but before she could finish her words, she saw Xiang Yuanyuan looking at her helplessly, so she spoke immediately.
“This house… ah!!”
Xiang Yuanyuan just felt a headache.
"Dad, you eat. I'm full~~"
Little Du Heng picked out a piece of meat from the bowl and put it into his mouth, then he pushed the small bowl towards Du Rufangxin, indicating that he was full.
"Okay, go play when you're full."
Du Ruo took it with a smile, wiped the rice grains off Du Heng's face, then took her down from the child chair and put her on the ground, letting her play by herself.
After dinner, Li Qiyao took little Du Heng to the third floor to give her a bath and tell her stories, while Du Ruo put his arms around Xiang Yuanyuan's waist and flew towards the Huangshan forest.
Both of them were very familiar with the forest, so Du Ruo had no intention of taking Xiang Yuanyuan for a walk, but went directly to the destination.
This is a valley. It is Xiang Yuanyuan's first time here. But when she sees the situation in the valley clearly, she can't help but be a little surprised. (End of this chapter)
