Xiao Qingshi stood under this big pine tree with a diameter of one meter, put his hands on the tree, and slowly advanced his true qi into the big tree through his palms.

Opening the Heavenly Eye is not because you have enough true qi to open the Tianmu acupoint, what you need to open the Heavenly Eye is essence, qi, and spirit, and the most important thing is to have talent, just like the old monk has practiced the Nine Dragons Heart Sutra for many years, and has practiced to the seventh layer, the true qi in the dantian is already extremely deep, but the true qi in his body has not formed nine dragon qi like Xiao Qingshi. Although the old monk didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that because he didn't have an innate spiritual root, his cultivation would become slower and more difficult.

As soon as Xiao Qingshi began to practice, the true qi formed nine dragon qi, and the ancestors said that people with innate spiritual roots, the nine dragon qi formed by the true qi will appear in the body of the Nine Dragons Heart Sutra, and the deeper the true qi, there will be dragon scales, dragon claws, dragon whiskers, etc., which are the same as the true dragon, and when the nine dragon qi turns golden, it will also break through to the ninth layer, and can swim above the nine heavens.

Xiao Qingshi didn't know that he was an innate spiritual root body, and the old monk didn't want to tell him too early, lest he stop practicing well as soon as he was proud.

Xiao Qingshi hugged the big tree every day, and the annual rings on the outside of the big tree appeared in front of Xiao Qingshi's eyes little by little, but this hundred-year-old tree! The more you go into the tree, the smaller the annual rings become, and the more you feel more and more difficult.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Qingshi can already see the one hundred and fiftieth annual rings of the big tree, but there are still many of them inside! Xiao Qingshi said to the big tree: "Grandpa Big Tree! Please tell me how old you are! I'm really tired!"

The old monk didn't know when he came to Xiao Qingshi's back, and when he heard what the apprentice said to the big tree, he was angry and funny! Behind the apprentice's back, he said: "If you dare to ask how old the big tree is, I will drive you down the mountain, and I don't work hard and still dream during the day, it's really hopeless!" After speaking, Tian turned around and went back to the room. Xiao Qingshi heard the master say this, and knew that the master was really angry, and he didn't dare to look back, so he hurriedly began to count the tree rings with his true qi again, and kept depleting the true qi for two months and then recovering, again and again, the true qi in his body was obviously growing, and the recovery time was getting shorter and shorter.

Another month passed, and on this day, Xiao Qingshi was trying to count the annual rings, when he suddenly felt a piercing pain from the Tianmu acupoint between his eyebrows, and then his head fell to the ground with dizziness. The old monk heard a "plop" sound in the room, and hurriedly walked out of the door to see Xiao Qingshi lying on the ground, the old monk was startled, and came to Xiao Qingshi's side, checked Xiao Qingshi's whole body and found no abnormality, so he had to pick up Xiao Qingshi and return to his room and stay by his side.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Qingshi woke up from his eyes, he found that the master was sitting next to him, how could he sleep in the master's room? At this time, he suddenly remembered that he was dizzy when he was counting the annual rings yesterday, and he didn't know anything.

The master saw that Xiao Qingshi woke up and hurriedly asked, "Why did you faint yesterday?" Xiao Qingshi shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, I suddenly fainted with a headache, maybe I'm too tired, right?" The master didn't understand what was going on, maybe the apprentice was really tired, so let Xiao Qingshi rest well first and practice again tomorrow.

Xiao Qingshi, who woke up in the morning, usually stood in front of the big tree, and just wanted to put his two hands on the big tree, and suddenly found that his eyes could clearly see the heart of the big tree, Xiao Qingshi shouted, "Ah!" The old monk heard the sound of "ah" and ran out again, this time he saw that Xiao Qingshi did not faint but looked at the big tree stupidly, what happened? At this time, Xiao Qingshi turned around and shouted happily to the master: "Master! Master! I see the heart of the big tree! I see the heart of the big tree!"

The old monk hurriedly asked, "Do you say you see it with your eyes, or do you feel it with your true qi?"

"It's eyes!"

When the old monk heard this, he thought of Xiao Qingshi's headache yesterday, and knew that his apprentice had opened his eyes! He has been working hard to open the Heavenly Eye Acupoint, but after so many years, he has not been able to do so, the apprentice has opened the Heavenly Eye today, it is really the manifestation of the ancestor!

The old monk finished laughing and touched his apprentice's head and said, "Silly stone, you have opened your eyes to the sky! In the future, there will be no night in your eyes, as your cultivation increases, your eyes will see deeper and deeper, farther and farther, the density of the big tree is low, you can see the depths, if it is iron, stones, etc., you will not see so deeply!"

Xiao Qingshi looked at the master and said, "Can it be said that you have practiced to a small level?"

The master nodded: "It's a small success! Opening the eyes of heaven is of great benefit to you to practice carving, you can see through every line of wood, so that you have a direction to cut down!"

The master returned to the room and took out a wooden box from it and handed it to the apprentice, Xiao Qingshi opened the wooden box and there was a row of beautifully made knives inside, and slowly took out a handful from it, the snow-white blade and the sharp blade exuded a cold chill.

The knife is nine centimeters long and two centimeters wide, the blade is in a straight line, the blade is slanted down from the tip of the knife little by little, and the handle is a golden dragon body, the dragon has the blade in its mouth, and the dragon's tail becomes the tail of the knife.

Xiao Qingshi couldn't put it down, and said to the master: "Master, this knife can be so beautiful! When did you buy it? Don't give it to me earlier!"

The old monk thought to himself that I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible, but didn't I have no money before! Now it's not bad for money, and it costs 2,000 yuan to order a knife! The best steel and the best materials are used, all of which are made with little by little skill, and nine knives cost nearly 20,000 yuan! What a luxury!
