"Immortality is only a subsidiary magical power of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. The real magic of this technique lies in its ability to nourish the body and soul at the same time, and increase the degree of integration between the two." Huo Lingzi continued.
"What's the use of this? When advancing to the Mahayana stage, aren't the body and soul already integrated into one?" Shen Luo asked curiously.
"The achievement of the Mahayana stage is indeed marked by the unity of spirit, soul, body and nature, but that is only the initial fusion of the two, and is far from the perfect state. The perfect fusion of soul and body is the goal pursued by every practitioner, and it is of great benefit to practice. When you reach that state, your body and mind are connected, your spiritual thinking is sharp, and whether you are comprehending techniques and supernatural powers, or guiding spiritual energy for practice, it will be countless times faster than before." Huo Lingzi said.
"It seems to be somewhat similar to the special physique of the Taoist body?" Shen Luo asked again.
"The so-called Tao body, on the one hand, due to the numerous Dharma lineages, the speed of cultivation is faster than that of ordinary people, but more importantly, the degree of integration between their physical body and soul is naturally very high." Huo Lingzi said.
Shen Luo nodded slightly, and he had a deeper understanding of the cultivation of improving the Taoist body.
"A high degree of fusion of soul and body is not only helpful for daily practice, it is even more important when breaking through the bottleneck of the realm. The higher the realm of cultivation, such as the Taiyi stage and the Tianzun stage, the more you need a highly integrated body and soul when you want to break through the realm." Huo Lingzi said.
"So that's how it is." Shen Luo had experience in breaking through the Taiyi stage and the Tianzun stage. Looking back at it now, it was indeed as Huo Lingzi said.
"Your cultivation is about to reach the peak of True Immortal. If you spend more time practicing the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", it will be of great help to your advancement to the Taiyi stage. With this magical skill, plus the Taiqing Pill, you should have no problem advancing to the Taiyi stage." Huo Lingzi said.
"Thank you, Brother Huo, for your reminder. I understand." Shen Luo agreed solemnly.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, the Su Wen chapter of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine explains the method of cultivating the soul, which is also very helpful for a spiritual body like me. I wonder if you can teach me the Su Wen chapter?" Huo Lingzi hesitated for a moment and said with some pride.
"Of course you can. Brother Huo has helped me a lot these days. Just take this technique." Shen Luo taught Huo Lingzi the contents of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, Su Wen, without hesitation.
When Huo Lingzi obtained the content of the Su Wen chapter, he immediately closed his eyes and began to comprehend it, and a layer of bright fire light appeared on his body.
Shen Luo did not disturb him and used all his strength to protect Hu Bugui's meridians.
With the help of Shen Luo, Hu Bugui's trembling body had eased greatly. He managed to sit cross-legged and used his internal energy to resist the impact of his ancestral bloodline returning to its ancestral state.
Time passed little by little, and soon half an hour had passed.
The changes in Hu Bugui's body finally stopped, the reversion of his bloodline began to subside, and all the hair on his body disappeared. It seemed that he had survived this disaster.
His aura did not increase much, but the blood power in his body became much stronger.
Inside the Xiaoyao Mirror, Huo Lingzi also opened his eyes.
"It's worthy of being the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. It has the magical power to recreate the world. The soul that was damaged when it was refined into an artifact spirit has actually recovered a little!" Huo Lingzi exclaimed.
"Has Brother Huo's soul ever been damaged?" Shen Luo asked after hearing this.
