It had been a long time since Qiu Feng and the two boys left. Ji Yuan just waited there until he was completely sure that they had left. Then he returned to the edge of the green water pond with almost uncontrollable excitement, playing with two white jade sticks, one large and one small, in his hands.
As expected of Yu Huaishan, he likes everything to be associated with jade, whether it be the blue jade ring, the white jade sign, or even the jade hairpin on Qiu Feng's head. Ji Yuan could see the subtle movement of a mysterious light just now.
"Oops, I forgot to ask for Wei Wuwei!"
Ji Yuan slapped his head and laughed when he recalled this. After all, Wei Wuwei was not very familiar with him. If it was about Xiao Yinqing, he would never forget it.
By the deep green pond, Ji Yuan sat down, put the emerald green bamboo pole aside, and began to read the contents on the two white jade sticks with his legs crossed.
This way of recording is mentioned in Tongmingce and Waidaochuan. It is called the method of conveying spirits through objects. It is a very characteristic recording method for immortal cultivation, but it is more laborious so it is not often used under normal circumstances. The carrier can be various things such as gold, iron, stone, jade, etc. The higher the level of Taoism and the stronger the magic power of the recorder, the lower the requirements for the carrier. It is even mentioned in Waidaochuan that there are people who can convey spirits through objects such as flowing water and breeze, which is considered to be very magical.
As for the two white jade sticks in Ji Yuan's hand, probably because Yu Huaishan was very wealthy, they were both made of high-quality white jade, naturally considered to be good quality, and the requirements for the caster were the lowest.
After all, the strange art of restraining spirits is only a fragment. Qiu Feng has been researching it for more than ten years and has not been able to restore it. Ji Yuan doesn't think he can do it right away, so he puts it aside for the time being and holds the large white jade stick in his hand.
There are a few large characters engraved on it, titled "Yu Huai Xiao Lian", and there are also wave-like lines on the front.
Reading this jade sign requires much less effort than reading something like the heavenly book. The person who touches it only needs to input spiritual energy into the jade sign, and naturally his divine thoughts will lead him to conjure up the detailed contents in his consciousness.
Even though it is only the basic Qi Training Art, its content far exceeds the original Qi Guiding Art. If we really want to compare, the Qi Guiding Art can only be regarded as a fraction of the content of the Qi Training Art, which involves many principles and explains in detail the basics of cultivating immortals.
It is said that there is a big world outside and a small world inside the body. The sun and the moon are connected to the stars and acupoints. The exploration of the small world inside the body has no end yet, and its complexity may not be inferior to the big world.
The key to practicing Qigong is to connect the Qi of the five elements of the internal organs, and to transform the heart fire, kidney water and other things in the world within the body to refine the spiritual energy. From Ji Yuan's understanding, this is a very mysterious category.
“No wonder most of the innate masters in the martial arts world die with hatred after reaching the peak of their martial arts. This is beyond the imagination of those who rely on comprehending internal energy and meridians.”
With a sigh, Ji Yuan had just started practicing Qi for the first time in his two lifetimes. The so-called minor practice was the first few stages of practicing Qi to cultivate immortality, also collectively referred to as nourishing Qi. It was necessary to cultivate the two key Qi of yin and yang, heart fire and kidney water within the world, and also to use them to refine and nourish magic power.
However... the two biggest hurdles in cultivating immortals are: the first is to sense the spiritual energy and guide it into the body, and the second is to internalize yin and yang in the small world. However, for Ji Yuan, these two biggest hurdles are basically no difficulty at all.
It is completely different from the difficulty of other cultivators in the basic stage to comprehend the internal organs and visualize the heaven and earth, and the visualized heaven and earth is at most the size of a room. Ji Yuan only needs to enter into a state of meditation for a while, and think of his body turning into the heaven and earth. The entire world in meditation is already as vast as the heaven and earth.
The mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon, and the stars all appeared one by one...
Ji Yuan did not linger on the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but quickly began the key practice, silently reciting the mantra to help the divine guidance, and stimulate the vitality of the internal organs to connect with the magical heaven and earth.
'The fire in my heart is coming.'
This thought came together.
boom…
On top of a giant peak somewhere in the world, a ball of heavenly fire was burning from the sky like the sun. Ji Yuan seemed to be able to feel the infinite heat. He was not as excited as he had originally imagined. Although he had emotions in his meditation, they were assimilated by the vast world, so the fluctuations were as calm as the world.
'Kidney water appears.'
The next thought arises.
Crash...
At the same location in the inner world, rivers on the earth gather and waves roll.
The situation was quite different from what Yu Huai Xiao Lian described, or it could be said that it was completely different from what he had described. However, Ji Yuan felt that it was not a bad thing.
'Qi transforms yin and yang!'
In one of the two most critical steps, the earth is surging and the sky is blazing, with an infinite water force rising from the bottom up and a raging flame rolling down and pressing down.
One red and one transparent converge at the top of the giant peak of heaven and earth in an astonishing momentum.
Ji Yuan was like a bystander, unmoved by the astonishing scene before him. He watched the fire and water gradually vaporize and transform at the intersection, forming one white and one black.
The two colors gradually rotated as they intersected, forming a strange vortex, like a huge Tai Chi diagram, except that the two points of Pisces were missing.
'Yin Yang Furnace!'
The most crucial step, even Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.
"Boom~~"
Originally everything in the inner world seemed silent, but at this moment Ji Yuan seemed to clearly hear the sound of an explosion, and the heaven and earth seemed to be shaking.
At the top of the giant peak, at the center of Yin-Yang Tai Chi, a huge alchemy furnace emerges in the infinite mysterious ripples.
"Huh..."
Ji Yuan's body in the outside world exhaled lightly, mainly because the description in the Tongming Ce was too scary. It kept saying difficult things and that some people had tried thousands of times but still failed.
Until the furnace is completed, Ji Yuan can rest assured temporarily. If the cultivator has not suffered extremely serious special injuries, the inner furnace of his body will not disappear. From now on, it will appear as long as he visualizes it.
Ji Yuan visualized the towering alchemy furnace within his body that stood on a mountain. No matter how he looked at it, his aptitude was not bad.
A smile appeared on his face, his mind turned freely, and the spiritual energy around him seemed to disappear out of thin air, and then appeared in front of the alchemy furnace, and was absorbed into it through the holes in the alchemy furnace...
The night at Laohua Mountain passed quickly in tranquility. When it was almost dawn, Ji Yuan felt the first ray of Dan Qi overflowing, and then a steady stream of Dan Qi overflowed from the star-like holes in the Dan furnace.
Originally, this step did not require any attention from Ji Yuan, the Dan Qi would seep out and transform into the visualized world, and flow into the orifices that connected the physical body with the inner world. This was the initial breakthrough in the barrier, with the foundation of the Dan furnace already formed, and the orifices that were opened corresponded to the Qi sea of the physical body, which was the Dan Palace.
In the terminology of cultivating immortals, Ji Yuan currently has an acre of Dantian land. Although there is also the concept of Qi Hai Dantian in the terminology of martial artists, this Dantian is not the same as that Dantian. Although the names are the same, the cores are completely different.
But something that shocked Ji Yuan also happened at this time. Three chess pieces, one black and two virtual, crossed the visualized alchemy furnace like meteors. Seventy percent of the elixir energy had been divided before it could form magic power. Ji Yuan had to quickly concentrate his mind and forcefully channel the remaining thirty percent into the alchemy palace, otherwise there might not be a trace left.
Ji Yuan opened his eyes, stretched out his right arm and pointed a sword. A half-real and half-virtual black chess piece appeared at his fingertips. It looked no different from before, as if the disappearance of the Dan Qi that Ji Yuan had worked so hard to refine had nothing to do with it. The situation was similar when he eliminated the black piece and retained two purely virtual chess pieces.
Ji Yuan had mixed emotions and didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a long time.
"Oh... forget it... after all, it's my stuff. Even if the pills are stolen, I can still control it. Anyway, the scale of the Qi-nourishing Realm Pill House is not that big..."
Well, stealing elixir is a cultivation term invented by Ji Yuan himself, without any semicolon.
It was already dawn. Ji Yuan came out of his cultivation and looked around, only to find that he was completely trapped in the thick white fog in the mountains, and his clothes were extremely wet.
Pat your butt and stand up.
"Haha, let's go!"
. . .
At this moment, in Niukui Mountain, nearly 300 miles away from Laohua Mountain, in the tiger's den where Lu Shanjun was, the huge monster lying down seemed to suddenly feel something, and a pair of huge dark green tiger eyes opened slightly in the darkness.
"Sir, you used 'the way of man' to refer to the path I had taken astray. Evil gave rise to evil spirits, which wasted my already insufficient spirituality to increase my evil spirits and karma. Over time, evil spirits were born, and it was difficult to escape the calamity. The way of heaven is that yin and yang complement each other. Well, my realm has loosened a little again! Ho ho ho ho..."
With a terrifying and hoarse laugh, the tiger opened its terrifying mouth, revealing its pale fangs that were vaguely visible in the darkness.
At the same moment, halfway up another peak of Niukui Mountain, the sound of a loud fox howling sounded towards the morning glow; and on the bed of a family in Ning'an County, Yin Zhaoxian's brows, which had been frowned in his sleep, relaxed a little.
