Chapter 3: Waste of spiritual power

"What happened to your 49-day retreat?" The old man changed the subject.

"Thank you, Dad, for your concern. The child was ashamed, although he had gone through 7749 days, he still failed to break through. ”

Seeing that the incense cup in the old man's hand suddenly stopped, he hurriedly said: "However, when the child encountered something this morning, he suddenly felt a little in his heart, but he couldn't say why, so I just wanted to ask you." Seeing that the incense cup in the old man's hand began to slowly turn again, Li Zhiqi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and slowly said what happened this morning after sorting out her thoughts a little.

"This has to start from the time the child went to the Huludao refinement base. At the beginning, it was still to follow the exercises to refine the water aura. The Huludao training base is located in the sea, and whether it is the clouds and mist in the air and the heavy water spirit in the sea, it is rich enough, so it is not a problem to gather condensing aura. But after all, the internal space of the body is limited, and it was not long before he began to accumulate sufficient spiritual energy in the Jizhong, Qi Sea, and Dantian. The aura in the body is full, and it cannot be condensed into drops after several compressions. As a result, the abundant spiritual power in the surrounding environment could no longer be absorbed. I had to shift my cultivation to improving my comprehension, and I lingered like this for nearly seven days. About 20 days ago, I suddenly thought about whether I could send the spiritual energy gathered in the body and the sea of qi to all the acupuncture points in my body along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra. I was amazed at the results of this attempt, and I was surprised that aura could also be stored in the acupuncture points. Therefore, in the next 20 days, I absorbed as much aura as I did according to the exercises as much as I did when I had just advanced, and infused it into the acupuncture points around my body. "Oh!" The old man put down the smelling cup, took the teacup in the tea tray and took a sip, "How do you feel?" ”

"I feel normal, it's just that the manipulation of the aura, whether it is in the body or outside the body, is more flexible, the perception is more delicate, and the understanding of the exercises is clearer." Speaking of this, I couldn't help but pause. The old man raised his head and looked at Li Zhiqi, "You also sit down and drink some tea, this Tieguanyin still has to be drunk while it is hot." ”

Li Zhiqi agreed and sat on a rattan chair beside the old man. "The child thought that the acupuncture space was very small, how much could it hold? But I didn't expect that hundreds of acupuncture points around my body had accumulated into a lot, and the total amount of Qi Sea and Dantian in 20 days had exceeded the total amount of Qi Sea and Dantian. I wanted to keep saving and see how much it could hold in the end. Maybe the energy change will promote the qualitative change, and find a way to enter the foundation without relying on the pill. ”

"Confused!" The old man snapped, "Cultivation is mainly based on mind cultivation, and relying on the elixir spar is the way to take advantage of it. If the heart is not high, what is the use of advancing to the next level? If you are suspicious, the three seven stars will be covered with dust, and you will leave trouble in the future. What do you usually tell you! ”

Li Zhiqi quickly stood up and stood aside respectfully. I saw a flash of light in the old man's eyes, and then he regained his calm. He sighed and said, "You sit down first, in fact, I don't blame you entirely." Forced to close the furnace for 32 years, the pills in the clan will be exhausted, the remaining is limited, and the varieties are incomplete. It's hard for you younger generations. ”

The old man quietly watched the afterglow of the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window fade away, and the sea and sky gradually merged into the deep purple-blue sky, and stopped for a moment. "Man! I don't know how to cherish what I have in my hands, and the more I can't get it, the more I want to get it. Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures say that one of the sufferings is called 'not being able to ask for it'. In fact, if you think about it, there are a few people in our older generation who have reached their current cultivation with the pill spar in the clan. You also know that the refining of pills in the clan has always been for the purpose of improving my tribe's ability to penetrate the mysteries of heaven and earth in cultivation through alchemy. Our clan mainly focuses on Dan entering the Dao, supplemented by improving its prestige in the immortal cultivation world and trading. Your seventh uncle took the pill because during World War II, he was injured in the three sects of United Dao-Shi-Ye in Taiwan to fight against the poisonous cult of the Japanese devils, so he had to use the spar pill to expel poison and treat it. As for his short-term breakthrough, his promotion to two levels in a row is actually related to his long-term integration of the teachings of Taiwan's three religions and his comprehension of the fundamental morality of cultivation. In the end, it's the nature of the mind, you have to remember that. You know, you are a generation in the post-furnace era. What you lack is not the elixir, but the sense of security and confidence that the elixir brings to the practitioners. The terrible thing is not that there is no pill, but that my heart is empty first. It's true that you're looking for another way to open up your cultivation, but don't base it on the idea of not relying on pills. The more you can't get it, the more you want it. The path of cultivating the truth is a thousand miles away, and the Tao naturally pays attention to not deliberately following nature. Do you know the truth about this? ”

"Yes, thank you Father. Children must be mindful. Li Zhiqi bowed down and said sincerely. This teaching of his father caused great waves in Li Zhiqi's heart, and with a little feeling this morning, he faintly added a little enlightenment in his heart.

"You sit down, you said that what you encountered this morning won't be as simple as using the acupoints to store spiritual energy, right?" The old man continued.

"Yes, as the father said, something happened to the child this morning." Li Zhiqi sat down and said, "Last night, I still gathered the sea and air aura according to the exercises. But one killer whale somehow sneaked into the spirit area. I'm still following the usual suppression with water spirits. But I didn't expect this killer whale to be so bold that it dived to a close distance of less than ten kilometers from the shore despite the fear of spiritual pressure. At that time, the Spirit Gathering Array had already been activated, and the sea water that had lost its spiritual power was no longer buoyant, so the killer whale fell to the seabed, and after several struggles, it sank deeper and deeper. At that time, I visualized the water spirit that had already gathered the spirit image, and if I didn't care about the killer whale, I could guide the water spirit qi to follow the meridians into the acupuncture point and complete the cultivation plan for the day. But this killer whale is certain to die. Look at the killer whales buried in the sand at the bottom of the sea, they have begun to expel the air from their lungs and prepare to drown themselves. I was moved to abandon my plan to continue to absorb the water spirits, and instead used the water spirits that had already taken shape to wrap the killer whales and send them back to the whale group 100 kilometers away. Speaking of this, he suddenly saw the old man's eyebrows tremble slightly, and his heart was startled. But then he saw that the old man was thoughtful and not angry, so he took a breath and hurriedly said: "Although this idea is good, I only know the difficulty when I actually use it." Not only did I use all the water aura condensed that night to support this two-and-a-half-ton big guy, but I also had to use the aura in my body to push this big guy back to the deep-sea whale group. This has almost exhausted my hard-earned savings for the past 20 days. However, I also left a unicorn on the black back of this big fat guy to keep a memory. lest the next time a sea beast come to interfere near the sea. ”

After hearing this, the old man drank all the tea in the teacup in his hand, tasted it slowly for a while, and said, "Zhiqi, your tea kung fu has grown a little, and the kung fu tea has a little taste." In addition, you can use this Antarctic ice to make tea, but it has a different flavor. The sweet rain is delicious, which can highlight the milky fragrance of Tieguanyin, which is a bit unique. But it's a bit of a waste to protect the Antarctic ice from melting with water aura, right? The old man put down his teacup. The left hand gently turned the patriarch's ring on the ring finger of the right hand, thoughtfully.
