The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Seeing Poria cocos being shown off, her mind was unbalanced and she was running around.

Li Fan also shrugged. Alas, he had no choice. He didn't want to be so outstanding. Unfortunately, as a time traveler, he was destined to never become an ordinary man. He could only adapt to his excellence as soon as possible.

‘Li Fan’s mood improved by 1 point. ’

Oh, why are you a fair lady? It’s just a gentleman’s good taste. Can even bragging about oneself improve mental health? Then what is the use of your system? Li Fan can just use his true character...

'Xuantian Sword Intent means that the host should not be poor. What's the point of being a woman? The true happiness is to cultivate immortality and enlightenment. Start practicing quickly. ’

Tsk, this Xuantian Sword Intention must have followed a cultivator in his last life, a thousand-year-old otaku, who doesn’t understand at all what it means to have fun in life, to combine work and rest, and to drink tea at three o’clock...

However, although Li Fan was grunting, he still sat cross-legged on the futon, took out Introduction to Basic Sword Qi and unfolded it on his lap to read it carefully.

After all, he also found it quite novel, this was cultivating immortality!

Although he had been working all night today, he had seen so many strange and strange sights. How could he sleep and wait until tomorrow to start again? What if I wake up and put it back on again, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Anyway, he is officially certified as a genius. Before he wakes up from this strange dream, he should first experience and practice Qi for a while. And his right hand and system were impatient and buzzed in Li Fan's ears.

Li Fan said he would bear with it. After all, some basic settings still need to be clarified a little bit. Isn't that what system plug-ins are for.

So I studied on my own, listened, complained, and read the guide, which was almost the same as looking up information and writing a paper...

With the Xuantian Sword Intent on the side and simultaneous interpretation online by the system, Li Fan is also a college student trained in compulsory education and a social worker who has been engaged in mental work for a long time. As long as he understands those mysterious and mysterious ancient Chinese terms, Li Fan will soon understand The setting of this world, at least the setting of the ancient acquired immortality, has a rough idea.

The core concept of acquired immortality is Qi.

Even the energy between heaven and earth according to Taoist theory, there is no need to worry about what it is, whether it is microorganisms or atoms. This is similar to the setting of the world view, and Li Fan is too lazy to take it seriously.

Anyway, in the acquired world of Tai Chi Transformation, Qi is the basic component of all immortal magic, Taoism, magical powers, magic weapons and elixirs. Without Qi, there is no Tao, nothing. Whether you can control Qi or not is the essential difference between Qi practitioners and ordinary people.

What fills the world is collectively called Lingqi, or acquired Lingqi. What is absorbed by the monk into the inner sea of ​​Qi under the navel through exhalation and inhalation is the True Qi, and the attained monks who have reached the Nascent Soul realm are also called Zhenren.

Most of the time, Zhenqi is also referred to as Dao breath, because a mouthful of Dao breath is a unit of measurement, which is equivalent to one breath, or the total amount of Zhenqi that can be used for one spell, which varies from person to person. .

Qi refining, or Qi training, just like what Fu Ling mentioned just now, is to purify and refine the true Qi inhaled into the body, and finally transform it into the Five Elements True Qi that can be used.

Of course, it doesn't have to be refined and purified. For example, in the Cave Heaven of Mozhu Mountain where Li Fan is now, there is no worry about the human world where the spiritual energy is too mixed to be used. And the Wangshu residence he lives in is simply built on a Dan Pond filled with Xuan Ming's true energy. The Xuan Ming's spiritual energy in the surrounding heaven and earth is abundant and pure. It is better than what he can extract with his own escape method. How many times.

Therefore, those outer sect disciples, even if their heads are squeezed, still have to go to the inner mountain to practice. They can practice Qi and build the foundation safely and quickly, and at least save several years and decades of hard work.

In ancient times, when a group of people were practicing the Immortal Way of Houtian, the benefits of practicing Qi and building foundations in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land could only be enjoyed by disciples of the inner sect or the personal followers of elders like Fu Ling. How could it be the turn of those from the outer sect to spend so much money? Money buys the qualifications of a registered disciple.

That is to say, people in the world of cultivation are now running towards the path of innateness, which is why the current situation of oversupply of spiritual energy occurs. Ahem, I am going too far.

But this does not mean that low-level skills such as Qi refining are useless nowadays. The biggest function of Qigong methods like the Five Elements Escape Technique is to convert acquired spiritual energy into real energy with different attributes.

Different qigong methods have different purification efficiency, conversion rate and quality of the generated true energy. Moreover, in the era of immortal cultivation, among various sects, there was indeed widespread distinction between superior and inferior practices.

It's as if Xuantian's Sword Intent is so annoying that a lot of Five Elements Escape Techniques in the Sutra Tower are rubbish, but he points to the Sword Instructor in Li Fan's hand and says it's good. This is indeed the reason.

In this introduction to the basic sword energy of Zhushan Sword Art, there is a unique feature that even a layman can see, which is that it can refine all spiritual energy into sword energy.

Sword Qi is also a change of Qi. It is a special change in physical properties. It is purer, more refined, faster, and sharper. Literally speaking, when the five elements of true Qi are spit out, it is 'qi', and at most it can bring some special effects of the five elements. But the sword Qi is ejected from the air points of the meridians, and that is the ‘sword’!

But essentially, it will not change the essence of the Five Elements of Lingqi. Therefore, getting started with basic sword energy cannot transform the attributes of spiritual energy. It can only remove the waste and retain the essence, and store sword energy one after another in the sea of ​​energy.

In fact, seeing this, Li Fan understood the reason why Xuantian Jianyi insisted on choosing this technique for him.

Sword Intent, Sword Intent, no matter what means it had before, it was all magical cultivation in swordsmanship. Although the Zhushan Sect does not have any profound final stage skills, Xuantian Sword Intent does! It has fought all the way to Xu Xing Dao Ancestor. It still lacks advanced sword skills?

Therefore, in this qi training period, you can master a bunch of basic sword qi introductions for using qi swords. From the perspective of Xuantian's sword intention, it is indeed a superior skill.

So how to practice specifically?

It’s actually really simple, just think about it with your brain.

To put it bluntly, in the divine court, that is, in the mind, you first visualize and project the view. Taking Introduction to Basic Sword Qi as an example, you directly imagine a sword in your mind. Then, use the divine light to shine the formed 'Sword View' into the sea of ​​​​Qi in the inner scene, and then the true energy in the sea of ​​​​Qi can be condensed according to this 'view', and the 'Sword Qi' can be tempered.

It can also be seen from this that the quality of the final sword energy depends entirely on the view at the beginning. If it goes astray from the source, it will naturally be a thousand miles away, and nothing can be tempered in the end. . That’s why we need to seek out true scriptures and watch authentic cultivation techniques to ‘observe’ the right path.

In particular, the true energy of the Five Elements Escape Technique is a natural phenomenon, which is difficult to describe with pictures and words. Therefore, in those black bamboo techniques, magic is used to record phantom-like 'visualizations', so that practitioners can enter the illusion when they enter samadhi. Among them, it is convenient to practice the Five Elements True Qi.

Introduction to Basic Sword Qi doesn't have to be so complicated. After all, what you are visualizing is a physical object, which is indeed easier to imagine. Moreover, Li Fan recognized the sword style as soon as he saw it. It was the sword hanging at the door of the Sutra Tower! You even gave me a look!

'Xuantian Sword Intention suggests that the host first refers to the dimensions of the technique and copies the sword as it is...'

Yep, isn’t it just CAD drawing? It’s very simple!

Li Fan referred to the dimensions and details marked in the introduction to Jianqi, and directly made a three-dimensional projection in his mind, opened the jig, and laser printed it, all in one go!

Phew, an unparalleled sharp Qi sword came out from the meridians of Li Fan's right hand that he had just walked through. It split the cigarettes swirling in the clean room with one blow and formed an eight-sided Han sword in the air.

The sword body is straight, with a round stem and a pointed edge. The sword is three feet long and the stem is five inches long. It is indeed the same specifications as the ink sword. If there is any flaw or difference, it is that the material of this sword is not gold and jade, but it is obvious that it is made of the material that Li Fan used to meditate on the futon in the bamboo forest in the outer mountains for one hundred seconds before spitting it into his body and opening up a new world. The interior view of the Qi Sea is transformed by the true Qi of Zixia.

The spine of the sword is as thick as ink, and the edge of the sword is surrounded by purple energy. Li Fan lies on the sword in his hand. He can clearly feel that the stem of the sword is still connected to the meridians of his right arm. It is inserted in the palm of his hand and leads directly to the sea of ​​Qi. It is constantly consuming the Qi to maintain its shape. .

He wielded the sword and swung it casually. Unexpectedly, the qi sword was weightless and as fast as a streak of purple lightning. The blade of the sword swept across the bed and table in the clean room, cutting all the tables, chairs and stools into two pieces, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone crackled. It fell to the ground.

What's wrong? At this time, Fu Ling's voice came from next door.

It's okay. I fell off the bed.

Li Fan was startled, and he casually swung the Zixia Sword Qi toward the outside of the wall, leaving a sword mark on the bamboo wall, turning into purple light and flying into the center of the lake.

Poria seemed to mumble something about being a child, turned over and seemed to lie down and sleep again.

It turns out that Poria lives next door. Li Fan wiped away the cold sweat and checked the interior. Oops, this qi-generating sword actually consumed more than half of the true qi in the qi sea! What a loss, at least sixty seconds of cultivation was wasted!

‘Xuan Tian’s sword intention expresses that the host’s talent is astonishing, heart-breaking and outrageous. ’

...Are you really complimenting me?

Well, in fact, there is no need to brag. Li Fan is also very self-aware. He just draws a picture. I believe that at least a billion people could do it in his previous life.

But just refining sword energy doesn't seem to be enough to build a foundation?

According to the setting that Li Fan just understood, Qi refining can be regarded as the instinctive basis for cultivating the body to refine true Qi. The so-called foundation building, simply put, is to open and expand the meridians and qi orifices in the human body to create an automatic true energy reactor in the body.

For example, taking the Five Elements Escape Technique as an example, it is to open up a few specific meridians in the human body to form a circuit, so that the spiritual energy absorbed into the body during normal breathing can circulate in the body to generate true energy, forming a small Zhoutian. This way Breath comes from the body and is endless, so there is no need to spend time in meditation every day.

But in this regard, Zhushan Sword Technique is insufficient, because it is just a sword technique, and the interest of sword energy is completely an application of killing and fighting. If this is really using the sword energy to circulate the meridians in the body, wouldn't it be like poking a few holes in yourself?

However, Xuantian's sword intention tells the host not to panic!

'Xuantian Sword Intent means that the host has amazing talent, so it doesn't need to waste time explaining it. It will directly perform the exercises to demonstrate later. The host only needs to remember the meridian circuits that Xuantian Sword Intent passes through, and still perform the exercises, then the body can be The accumulated Xuanming True Qi was transformed into Zixia True Qi. ’

During the system explanation, Li Fan could clearly feel the Xuantian Sword Intent flowing through his body. This feeling was really obvious. Xuantian Sword Intent was repeated three times, and Li Fan had already memorized the route of the exercise. So I drew the gourd in the same way, and I felt a cold air rising from the kidneys, traveling through the meridians and reaching the liver, and then turned into a stream of clear air, and then fell into the sea of ​​qi. The inner scene was instantly filled with the true qi of purple clouds, and all of a sudden the scene just now was filled with the true qi of purple clouds. The Qihai that had shot out most of it was filled again.

‘Xuantian Sword Intention means that the host is simply crazy. Now it wants to demonstrate the route of converting Zixia True Qi into Chisha True Qi. Please keep it secret. ’

Then Li Fan felt Xuantian's sword intent coming from the sea of ​​​​Qi under his navel, then traveling through a meridian back to the liver, then surrounding his heart, and finally returning to the sea of ​​​​Qi.

Li Fan was already a little aware of the principle behind the acquired immortal path, so he followed the same example, mobilizing the Zixia True Qi Movement Skill in the Qi Sea, and followed the circuit of Xuantian's sword intention, and then returned to the Qi Sea. , transformed into a warm ocean current, which is undoubtedly the most powerful thing in the world.

The five elements within me are interdependent...

Water, wood, fire, earth, and metal, the five elements are interdependent and endless. The human body also has a heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, which correspond to the five elements and organs respectively.

Xuantian Sword Intent looks down upon the foundation-building method of the Five Elements Escape Technique, and Master Wangshu also doesn’t care about the selection of techniques for the foundation-building period, because the monks in ancient times may not understand the meridian qi orifices, but today’s monks are afraid You have already mastered these basic principles.

Therefore, foundation building is probably not even a threshold for serious monks.

‘Xuan Tian’s sword intention means that the host can gain knowledge with just one click, and the children can be taught. As long as you memorize the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements and practice the cycle of heaven and earth in your body, you can exhale and breathe Qi while walking, sitting or lying down, and increase your cultivation. It only takes a few months to fill your Qi body, and the foundation is successfully established. ’

Indeed, it would take a lot of effort to explore by yourself. It would take at least several years to study the meridians and qi orifices and memorize the structure of the human body. If you are not careful, you may lose your breath and hurt your lungs.

But with Xuantian's sword intention moving directly through the body, it was like using a pen to draw out the meridians in the body so clearly that Li Fan only had to copy them. It's really quite simple.

So he simply completed a week of qi movement, and Li Fan felt that the pores all over his body were refreshed, and he felt indescribably refreshed after eating ginseng fruit.

How can I describe that feeling? It's like when you had a kidney transplant before, you only had one pulse, and it rushed out at the critical moment, and it was over in three to five seconds.

But walking around the world means walking all the eight meridians in the whole body! The refreshing feeling that goes through the whole body is really wonderful!

Ah~~It turns out that practicing cultivation is such a wonderful thing~~~

‘Li Fan’s mood has improved significantly by 1 point. ’

‘Xuan Tian’s sword intention indicates that the host understands now. ’

Li Fan understood. He finally understood what it meant to become an immortal and to be happy...

build! Fix it!
