Chapter 33: The Six Layers of Qi Refining
If there is anything particularly worth mentioning in China, I think the first is history, and the second is food.
As a high school student from Huaxia, Han Lin can easily save the world like his peers in the island country next door. But he can be regarded as a perfect inheritance of traditional culture.
Especially in terms of food, because his parents often have to go on business trips to other places, Han Lin also began to try cooking by himself after he was tired of eating takeout. For a long time, he has practiced a good craft, and usually let him cook even when his parents come back.
But although Han Lin's craftsmanship is okay, if you really study it carefully, it can only be regarded as an upper middle level, after all, the food culture accumulated by thousands of years of Chinese history is not something that he can master as a high school student.
But who would have thought that he came to this different world where martial arts are respected, because most of the people in the Pangu Continent are obsessed with cultivating truth and martial arts, the culture here is not very developed.
Especially a country like the Black Iron Country, which can already be regarded as the border of the mainland, is even more fierce in terms of people's customs. Most of the ordinary people eat fried or stewed dishes, and the big families only have high-end ingredients. The real skill of cooking is indeed not flattering.
When I was a mercenary before, I wanted to complain about the food here, but because I usually have no fixed place, it has become a dream to cook by myself. Now that he has time, how can Han Lin continue to treat himself badly?
Therefore, after living in the Ye family, Han Lin began to cook by himself. Fortunately, after Han Lin tried a few times, he found that his craft had not regressed. And with the ingredients provided by the Ye family, the potential of this explosion is not as simple as one plus one, it is one by one.
......
Well, it's just a little more delicious than what Han Lin made when he was on Earth, so why do these young masters like the food made by Han Lin so much?
Han Lin felt that it was just that these sons had never eaten this kind of food before, so it was a little strange. When they eat too much, they will naturally stop eating.
"That's right, it must be like this" Looking at the seven people eating with relish at the table, Han Lin comforted himself like this.
That's right, after the Third Young Master Lian arrived at Han Lin's place, he was also called to the table by his two cousins and shared the food together. And throughout the meal, he ate the most and the fastest.
For these, the third young master's explanation is: The blood of these spirit beasts seems to contain a lot of spiritual energy, even more than the flesh of spirit beasts, and these spiritual qi is of great help to people who practice martial arts, so he eats so much.
"Cut!" Han Lin almost believed this, if it weren't for the fact that the third young master kept muttering about wanting to drink during the meal, and after hearing that Han Lin didn't have it here, he specially asked the little maid to pick it up. Han Lin believed that he was eating to practice martial arts.
In the end, a few people "left in disappointment and returned home", and when a few people left, the drunken eldest prince also patted Han Lin on the shoulder and said approvingly: "Not bad, Brother Han, your craftsmanship is better than that of Dongxinglou, I will come again." ”
"I'll be called when the time comes. The third prince smiled heroically, completely forgetting that it was Han Lin who invited him this time, not the eldest prince.
"We too," a few friends on the side also chimed in.
However, the second son still maintained some sobriety, he held Han Lin's hand and said: "Han Gongzi, I bothered today, this is a little bit of my heart"
Seeing the silver handed over by the second son, Han Lin's smile finally became more sincere: "It should be, it should be, it is my honor for you sons to come, welcome to come again next time." ”
If Han Lin knew that because of his words, a few people would come here every once in a while to eat, he wouldn't have said that. Of course, that's all for later.
After a few people left, Han Lin cleaned up the table and casually ordered himself a little clear soup noodles.
Holding the bowl of noodles, Han Lin left tears of remorse, if he knew that someone would come to eat, it would be better to eat the bowl of noodles early. Of course, it's too late to say that.
"Wait, that eldest young master seems to have something to do with me!" Han Lin suddenly remembered, but then he was relieved: "Forget it, he forgot about it himself, it doesn't seem to be an important matter......
After filling his stomach, Han Lin followed his plan and began to practice spells.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Han Lin began to think back to the cultivation methods of spells on the Immortal Urn.
Under Han Lin's constant recollections, he finally remembered the several spells introduced at the end of the Qi Training Chapter in "Immortal Urn", which were all simple spells: Wind Blade Technique, Tortoise Shell Technique, and Concealment Technique...... And their corresponding cultivation methods were also clearly recorded in Han Lin's mind.
After reading carefully and confirming that nothing was missing, Han Lin picked out the simplest spell: the Wind Blade Technique, and began to devote himself to cultivation.
This practice is three days.
Three days later, in the evening, when Han Lin finally succeeded in releasing a wind blade the size of a small thumb and carved a shallow mark on the table not far away, Han Lin almost cried excitedly.
"It's finally succeeded, it's finally succeeded!" Han Lin shouted excitedly, he was already going crazy in the past three days to cultivate this Wind Blade Technique.
He originally thought that cultivating spells would be like refining talismans, but when he really started cultivating, he realized that he was a waste.
The reason why Han Lin's talisman refining and cultivation had been so smooth before was entirely due to the memories that the "knot" had taught him that were like personal experience.
And once you don't have that memory, or experience. When he wanted to learn a spell on his own, it was a little hard, even if it was the simplest spell.
From not being able to find the corresponding meridians at the beginning, to being unable to control the operation of true qi freely, to being difficult to control the formation of the wind blade......
If it weren't for the fact that Han Lin really needed a spell to help him consume the true qi in his body, he would have given up long ago.
But don't say it, although the process was difficult, Han Lin's goal was really achieved, and the wind blade the size of a small thumb that he had just released had already consumed nearly one-sixth of Han Lin's true qi. This is more than the True Qi consumed by refining three or four talismans.
This is not because the Wind Blade Technique consumes a lot of True Qi, as a basic spell, the Wind Blade Technique is originally very "energy-saving". Han Lin felt that the reason for this situation should be related to his qualifications.
For him, a person whose spiritual roots are too ordinary and whose meridians are narrow and clogged, if he wants to release a spell, he must mobilize a large part of his true qi, and after offsetting all kinds of losses, he can release a wind blade that is far less powerful than others.
For this, Han Lin didn't know whether to be happy or angry. You say you're happy, but the fact that you're a waste makes people really unhappy.
You say you are angry, but the purpose of cultivating spells by yourself is to consume true qi, and now the amount of true qi you consume is still the amount recorded in the book - plus a super doubling effect, which is very much in line with your own requirements......
"I understand" After a long time of entanglement, Han Lin finally understood what he should do, and in general, in one sentence: "Spells, you"
If you have the time and energy to learn spells that do more with half the effort, it is better to refine a few more talismans. If you encounter danger in the future, it will be like the young talisman master before, throw a few more talismans, and then everything will be done.
"Spells, it's good to use them as a means to consume true qi, and it's enough to have a wind blade technique. ”
Using offensive spells as auxiliary spells, it is estimated that Han Lin will do it all over the world.
But although Han Lin's plan was very good, he had to face a very real problem, that is, because he had been practicing talisman making in the past three mornings, his ink was running out, and now he had to go out again to buy some raw materials.
"It's time to go out again" Planning in his heart what he was going to buy tomorrow, Han Lin sat back on his knees and continued his cultivation.
After constantly consuming and replenishing his true qi while cultivating spells a few days ago, Han Lin felt as if he had touched the threshold of the sixth layer of qi refining, maybe he could break through to the sixth layer of qi refining tonight.
After absorbing the spiritual energy in the dantian with the help of the natal magic weapon, Han Lin stopped the magic weapon and began to urge the spiritual energy, running according to the meridians indicated by the exercise.
In the continuous operation, the aura was condensed and purified little by little, and after a night of cultivation, finally when the first rays of sunlight hit Han Lin's windowsill, Han Lin refined all the aura.
At the same time, Han Lin only felt a comfortable feeling spread from the dantian to all his limbs, and his mind also became clear, and the fatigue of a night of cultivation disappeared without a trace in an instant. Han Lin knew that he had entered the sixth layer of Qi refining.
"Finally reached the sixth layer of qi refining" Feeling his more intense true qi, Han Lin said with some regret, "It actually took three days from the fifth layer to the sixth layer, which is too slow, when will the foundation be built!"
If Han Lin's words were to be heard by other cultivators, he was afraid that it would cause public indignation.
From the beginning to the sixth layer of Qi refining, even if it is a cultivator with extraordinary talent and the support of a big family, it will not be able to reach it in a month, and it is even more unique for Han Lin to complete it in ten days.
And all this was due to Han Lin's special cultivation method.
For other cultivators, most of their time is spent absorbing spiritual energy into their bodies. This is because the aura in the environment is not very abundant in the first place, so they must absorb it for a long time in order to accumulate enough aura to break through the realm.
Even if there are spirit stones or other treasures to provide aura, the process is very slow, because there is always a limit to how quickly everyone can absorb aura.
If the limit is exceeded, the absorbed aura will enter the dantian before it has time to transform into true qi, and the consequences will be very serious.
If it is light, it will cause their true qi to be impure, and they need to re-run the exercises to refine their true qi, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The heavy ones will even appear when the true qi that Han Lin encountered before will go berserk, directly taking the life of the cultivator.
This is the biggest difference between Han Lin and other cultivators: due to the existence of the natal magic weapon, Han Lin absorbs the aura too quickly, causing the aura to enter the dantian before it is transformed, so many times his dantian is in a state where the aura and the true qi are mixed. This is also the reason why he always feels that the dantian is in a state of overflow.
If he had a master at this time, the master would definitely have asked him to stop absorbing the aura and instead run the exercises. Wait for the aura to be completely transformed before continuing to cultivate, but unfortunately there is no one to guide Han Lin.
Although Han Lin had no one to guide him, he himself thought of a simpler and more direct way to solve this problem.
When it's full, use it up!
The beauty of this method is that when the mottled true qi in the dantian is invoked, the untransformed aura will be more active and easier to be mobilized. When restoring True Qi, Reiki will easily transform into True Qi.
As soon as this release is harvested, the proportion of true qi in the dantian will become higher and higher, and since in this process, Han Lin is always in a state of cultivation, so the realm will also improve.
In addition, Han Lin would occasionally refine his true qi, which ensured that Han Lin was also very safe on the premise that his cultivation speed was very fast.
In the long history of cultivating the truth, it's not that no one has ever come up with this ingenious method, but no one will use it. The reason for this is that as mentioned before, ordinary cultivators are slow to absorb aura, so every trace of aura absorbed into their bodies must be fully utilized.
In addition, there is another reason, this kind of cultivation method means that the true qi in one's dantian is often in a mottled state, which will have a great impact on the cultivator's use of spells.
Han Lin is an example, when he uses spells, the reason why he has to spend more "True Qi", but the power is very small, is not due to his poor qualifications in his imagination, but because of this "True Qi".
When using spells, the uncontrolled aura dissipated by itself in the process of mobilization, and the only few spells that were triggered by the remaining true qi were naturally pitiful.
But most cultivators rely on spells to fight their enemies, so it's even more impossible to do so.
But who would have thought that Han Lin didn't care about these at all, this might be - the ignorant are fearless......
