Cultivation Academy Manual

Chapter 44 In class
"Nowadays, everyone meditates like me. There should be no one who doesn't know how to meditate. If you don't know how, just watch me and learn from me."

"Pay attention to the essentials. The soles of both feet should be facing the sky, the palms of both hands should also be facing the sky, and finally the top of the head should be facing the sky. Together, it is called the five hearts facing the sky, which can also be called double lotus."

"What are you asking for?" A student below muttered.

"Cross-legged." Of course, Teacher Deng caught it.

"No. [-], your head is tilted. Yes, that means you, the one sitting in Seat [-]. The seat number is posted on the upper right corner of the small table in front of everyone's futon. They are all in Chinese capitals, so you can understand them. , I can’t understand that I’m not Chinese.”

"Today's young people are really..." Teacher Deng muttered a few words about his dissatisfaction with today's young people, and continued to find out the students' problems. one time."

"The top of your tongue is the root of your front teeth. Where is the root? It's the wall of the mouth where your upper front teeth are next to. If you don't understand, the classmates next to you will use their fingers to pick it out."

"Yes, let's feel it. We will start teaching breathing techniques in 5 minutes."

Sun Xiayi did it, and it was not difficult. Since the teacher didn't call her by name, she probably did everything right. She looked at Yu Niannian sitting on the left, and her posture was also very standard.

But Miaoshu behind Yu Niannian seemed a little unable to sit still, but wasn't she a Taoist nun? She should be very familiar with meditation, right.

It's also possible that they are too young. They probably haven't reached Taoist age yet and haven't started learning to meditate yet, Sun Xianyi thought.

"Okay, the breathing technique we are going to learn next is called "Spiritual Breath Internal Kung Fu". This technique strengthens the foundation and cultivates the vitality. When completed, the spiritual power in the body can be used inexhaustibly and life will be immortal."

"Teacher, what is spiritual power?"

"When you feel the aura, you will know what aura and spiritual power are."

"Come on, let's take a deep breath like me first. Inhale through your nose, not your mouth. When you inhale to the end, but don't inhale until you feel dizzy, you can exhale."

"After exhaling completely, switch to inhaling, but don't let yourself be out of breath. You should not let yourself pass."

“Whether you inhale or exhale, make sure it’s gentle, even, and slender, and don’t blow it out all at once.”

"Follow me, come on, inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale..."

"One more time, breathe in..."

The teacher led everyone to take deep breaths for 5 minutes. Some students started to feel dizzy because of the wrong way. The teacher explained the key points one by one.

Sun Xianyi also felt a little dizzy, but she felt that she had done exactly what the teacher said, but she could not achieve the feeling of being sober as the teacher said.

"Everyone continues to breathe at this speed, and I will explain what spiritual energy is." "By meditating and breathing like this, one day you will be able to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth being sucked into your body. You will feel the clarity of the spirit at once. Because at that moment, you will be able to see the aura of other people's body. Simply put, it is a circle of light, which may have different colors. According to each person's realm and attributes, the color and aperture size of the aura around him will also vary. It’s different, some people can still suppress their realm, but you won’t be able to tell.”

"What is aura? After tens of thousands of years of research by immortal cultivators, it has been discovered that this aura is actually cosmic energy. Cosmic energy is composed of many things. Electromagnetic radiation, dark matter, and dark energy are all within its scope. Planets, satellites, stars, and galaxies , galaxy clusters, etc., also belong to cosmic energy.”

"Smart students may want to ask, since planets also belong to one type of cosmic energy, what about the earth?"

"Yes, the entire earth also belongs to cosmic energy, but the earth's aura resources are very thin, and even getting thinner. First of all, the earth's own energy is naturally low, yes, it is low since birth, and secondly because of the atmosphere on the earth , and also isolates a lot of energy in the universe.”

"Some smart students want to ask again, ah, wouldn't the atmosphere be bad? Without the atmosphere, we wouldn't be able to breathe. Yes, the atmosphere gives humans space to live, but it also isolates too much spiritual energy from the universe. Energy is something that humans will die if they come into direct contact with it. The atmosphere isolates humans from the harm caused by cosmic energy, and also blocks humans from absorbing and using cosmic energy."

"Of course, now is not the time to argue about whether the earth should have an atmosphere. All you need to know is what spiritual energy is."

"Teacher, salt, pepper and Mandarin are all out..." Some students in the audience were laughing quietly.

"Ahem, let's talk about the attributes of aura next. Our ancient Chinese people have long divided the attributes of everything in the world, such as metal, water, wood, fire and earth, as well as the wind and thunder attributes extended from the wood attribute, and the water attribute extended from The properties of ice, the colors they represent, directions, etc., you can read by yourself after class."

Someone raised their hand and asked: "Teacher, we haven't got the book yet."

"It's okay to speak Mandarin in class. This first class is just to give you a general introduction to get a feel for the flavor of cultivating immortals. Specific books and so on. After class, follow your senior brothers and sisters to the library to pick up books."

"Come on, let's talk about two ways to use spiritual energy. One is to directly gather spiritual energy of a certain attribute between heaven and earth, which is faster, more concentrated, and more powerful. The second is to circulate the spiritual energy in your own cauldron. , the cauldron is the Dantian. In the cauldron, any attribute or non-attribute spiritual energy you absorb is refined into a spiritual energy of a certain attribute, and then turned into the spiritual energy of the corresponding attribute through handprints and other methods. Although this speed is slower, it is not the same. It’s a matter of methods. After all, you are in a place like the bottom of the sea where the fire attribute is thin. Can’t you use fire attribute spells? No.”

"What don't you understand about the above? No, okay, let's talk about the realm of cultivating immortals."

"There are 10 realms in total, Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Pill Formation, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refining, Combination, Mahayana, and Ascension."

"Each rank is divided into 10 levels. 1-3 is called the early stage, 4-6 is called the middle stage, 7-9 is called the late stage, and 10 is called the perfect stage. When it comes to the perfect stage, let's talk about holding back the pill. This holding back the pill means that you are in At any time of consummation, if you don’t meditate to advance to the next level, you can just refine the energy into your cauldron as usual. At this time, all the energy will be stored in your cauldron, and your cauldron will be enlarged. , the direct impact is that your spiritual energy storage value will increase, in short, the amount of spiritual energy you can store will increase."

"Spiritual power storage value...could it be the blue bar in the game..." There were students who were more familiar with the game and were making noises below.

But Teacher Deng did not continue, "Everyone digest it, I will continue talking in 5 minutes."

Sun Xianyi listened very carefully. She took the time to look at Yu Niannian and Miao Shu next to her, and they looked like they understood.

"Okay, then let me talk about the speed of cultivation. People with fast cultivation speed can enter the Qi refining stage from zero in one second. For example, all of you in this school are listening to me while meditating. It is very likely that I am talking. It is said that if one of you clicks, it will be connected and you will feel the spiritual energy. Well, when you feel the spiritual energy, it means you have entered the first level of Qi refining. Those who are slow may take three to five years to step into this level. The threshold is not surprising either.”
