The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 122 Don't Lie to Yourself

Guan Yuan pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find any way to control the broken jade Tai Chi on his chest.This thing seems to be completely out of control during its operation, and it does not benefit the cultivation of innate skills.

The half of the silver-white broken jade before has the effect of nourishing the meridians.Now that it's out of control, it doesn't seem to work anymore.

He also tried to see if it had the effect of absorbing moonlight under the moonlight, but it didn't change.

Hey, it looks like my golden finger won't work for a while.

But there was still a little breakthrough, at least he saw the true face of Goldfinger.

This silver-white broken jade hidden in the imprint on his chest was brought with him when he traveled to this world.The gray broken jade may be the treasure of Taoism in the Central Plains that was taken away by the lamas. The two are inseparable, so it should be a source.

The Tai Chi appearance of this broken jade is not a patent of the Wudang School. The word Tai Chi is recorded in the "Book of Changes", "Yi has Tai Chi, which produces Liangyi. Liangyi produces four images, and four images produce gossip." Xiantian The Tai Chi Diagram, also known as the Yin-Yang Fish Diagram, is very similar to the state of these two broken pieces of jade.

Although the origin is still unknown, Guan Yuan himself still has some guesses about the function of this fragmented jade Tai Chi.

The Tianshan snow lotus belonging to Tiancaidibao can trigger the movement of the broken jade and absorb the essence, which shows that the broken jade Tai Chi is still useful.

There are two reasons why it cannot be controlled now:
Either you haven't mastered the knack yet.

This broken jade exists in the body, but it is completely invisible to the body. It can only be observed faintly with the Taoist concept, which shows that the ordinary internal force drive has not yet reached that level.It may be driven by the divine sense that was popular in the novels of the previous life to control this broken jade, but this concept has completely surpassed the scope of martial arts.Even Guan Yuan's sword intent buff is only hinted by movements and moves, far from being called a kind of divine sense.

Another possibility is that the driving force is not enough.

Only heaven, material and earth treasures with concentrated essence like Tianshan Snow Lotus will have enough attraction for Suiyu Taiji to start working.In daily practice and exercise, the energy gap between the inside and outside of the body is not enough to make Tai Chi spin faster.Just like a dam needs a sufficient water level difference to drive the turbine of the generator set to rotate.There must also be enough high-density energy essence to induce the broken jade to play a role.

This point will also have some limitations. Could it be that this broken jade can only be used as an entrance to quickly absorb energy?Guan Yuan believes that it's just that he hasn't realized it yet, and there must be other effects.

Speaking of treasures of heaven and earth, the only ones that Guan Yuan encountered before were the gallbladder of Pusi Qusnake and the Tianshan snow lotus obtained from Zhu Shou.However, the amount of snake gallbladder is too small. I had to eat hundreds of pills before to have obvious effects. Now that my innate skills are great, the increase in eating snake gallbladder must not be able to keep up.

Besides, the last time I took Linghu Chong to fetch more than a hundred snake gallbladders, the number of snakes in the valley must have decreased again, and fishing in a dry marsh is not a long-term solution.

Other treasures of heaven, material and earth belong to the level that can be encountered but not sought, and is rare to see.The only source I know is Zhu Shou's Zhu Jing Bingchan.Of course, Guan Yuan believes that there must be other treasures in the royal treasury that can rival the former.

Guan Yuan thought for a long time, looked back at Yuqing Guan, feeling a little lucky in his heart, wondering if Zhenyangzi had any way to make alchemy, in the novels he read in his previous life, didn't everyone say that he wanted to gather the essence of all things and condense it in various elixirs in?

On the second day, when Zhenyangzi came back from Qi training, Guan Yuan took the opportunity to ask his own question.

That Zhenyangzi looked at Guan Yuan with a strange face, and after confirming that Guan Yuan was not joking, he said,
"Junior brother, we are Quanzhen, we practice inner alchemy, we don't practice outer alchemy..."

It turns out that the most obvious difference between Quanzhen and Zhengyi and other schools is that, apart from whether or not one has to become a monk to practice, there is a difference in the way of cultivation.

Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect focus on the inner alchemy rather than the outer alchemy talismans.He believes that cultivating the truth and cultivating one's character is the only right way for Taoists to cultivate. Only by getting rid of emotions and desires, knowing the mind and seeing the nature, and making the mind quiet, can one return to simplicity, prove the Tao and become immortal.

Even Nan Quanzhen's golden elixir training method is to use the three medicines in the human body, namely the three treasures of essence, qi, and god, as medicine, through building foundations, refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, and refining spirit to return the emptiness to life. Knotting "Golden Elixir" does not depend on external objects.

As for Zhengyi, since Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of the sect, they have mainly focused on sacrificial offerings and talismans. They are the main force in the alchemy and drug practice.However, due to the fact that the emperors of the past dynasties often asked for immortals and medicines, good and bad people were mixed, and there were many people who deceived the world and stole their names.

Guan Yuan was at a loss for words for a while, and went to the doctor in a hurry, but forgot this fundamental difference, and made an oolong mess.

"Isn't the master's residence very good at alchemy?"

"The lineage of Tianshi Mansion still focuses on fasting, and they are not good at alchemy." Zhenyangzi said, "But even if there are people who really know how to make alchemy, in my opinion, it would be nothing."

"Junior Brother, when you talk about refining the essence of heaven and earth, there is no inheritance that can do it."

"Based on my many years of experience in Taoism, the so-called Taoist alchemy techniques are all illusory. I have never heard of any Taoist who practiced a furnace of elixir, and after eating it, he rose in the sky."

"Even the extremely wealthy royal nobles have never heard that they can successfully make alchemy."

Fearing that Guan Yuan, who is also Quanzhen's inheritance, would go astray, Zhenyangzi told him in detail about the flaws of Waidan.They are all from the same sect, that's why he spoke in such detail, otherwise he wouldn't take the risk of provoking public outrage and tell the truth.

Hearing this, Guan Yuan suddenly realized, this is still a world of martial arts, how could there be such a thing as alchemy to condense the essence of heaven and earth that breaks through the upper limit.

There is no real case of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao here. Even the double cultivation of life and soul that the Quanzhen School emphasizes, in the end it is just an attempt to maintain one's own inner peace, and the logic of the spiritual world is self-consistent. Woolen cloth.

Guan Yuan then asked if there was any news about Zhenyang Zi's natural treasures, or how to take them.

The answer I got was also disappointing.Not only has he never heard of anything special, even because there is no effective way to fully absorb the essence of treasures, most of the practices in this era are to directly take orally or simply process big medicines like ginseng to hang his life , that's all.

Like Guan Yuan's Broken Jade Tai Chi, which can directly absorb the essence and improve the cultivation of inner strength, there is none.Even the snake gall of the Snake Valley is rarely known.

It seems that my golden finger really has no precedent in this world, so I can't learn from it.But Guan Yuan is not discouraged, he came to this Xiaoao Jianghu by himself, just to discover all kinds of new things that he has never experienced before, and to constantly break through the limits of martial arts.

When he can really fully grasp the mystery of Suiyu Taiji in the future, he should have already stood at the peak of the Xiaoao world, with no one before and no one to come after.
