Chapter 8 Quenching
If you want to practice qi, first quench your body.
Although body quenching is the first step in spiritual practice, it is not easy to take this step.
Many martial artists in the world use various medicinal materials supplemented by martial arts to temper their bodies. For example, Shaolin, Wudang and the like, not only martial arts are famous all over the world, but also all kinds of ointments, pills, and bone-setting wine are also famous.
If you don't practice martial arts and don't refine medicine, sooner or later you will have to stumble. Chinese medicine doesn't refine qi, that's a fart.
Isn't it sad that once a person who practices martial arts is injured and has no medicine to treat him, he will be disabled at least or die at worst. In the same way, all the masters of traditional Chinese medicine have the ability to nourish the mind and practice qi, otherwise the technical work of massage, acupuncture, and fire cupping will not be able to exert their true power. This is also the reason why there are many Chinese medicine doctors and barefoot doctors.
However, it often takes ten or even decades for a person who practices martial arts to practice to the point of quenching the body with bricks and stones, spears on the top of the throat, copper skin and iron bones, and swords and axes that are difficult to injure.
This is not difficult to understand, if it is too easy to practice martial arts, the strong people in iron cloth shirts and golden bell jars will not run all over the ground.
However, the method of quenching the body of Shennong's immortal grass recipe is extremely strange and incredible, and it is also a quick method.
This method of quenching is called "stealing the day". It is to borrow a weed to practice quenching the body, and in a month or two at most, it can be worth ten or even decades of cold and heat for others.
Although some were skeptical, thinking that it would only take Lang a month or two at most, and that there was no other way for the time being, Sui Ge was immediately relieved and began to prepare for it.
After leaving school, Sui Ge first went to the flower and bird market to buy a small pentagonal ceramic flower pot and spent twenty yuan.
Subsequently, Sui Ge went to the antique jade market, ready to buy a few pieces of jade.
Jade, called a spiritual stone by cultivators, carries a certain amount of heaven and earth aura, which is also necessary for the early cultivation of Shennong's immortal grass recipe.
It's just that Sui Ge obviously underestimated the price of the "spirit stone" - "Oh, four hundred...... Are you going to buy jade or stone? The proprietress of the jade shop said in a bad tone, "Little brother, you know that pork is now more than a dozen yuan a catty." ”
Entering the jade shop, Sui Ge was despised by the proprietress of the shop. But this is 400 yuan, which is half a month's living expenses for him.
In the end, Sui Ge had to grit his teeth and take out all the living expenses for half a year, a full five thousand yuan.
After getting the money, Sui Ge cut the price in the jade shop, and finally reluctantly bought five pieces of Lantian jade that had not been carved.
Coming out of the jade shop, Sui Ge was really heartbroken. If this sky-stealing technique didn't work, Sui Ge would probably have to crash headlong into the wall.
Returning to school with flower pots and jade, Sui Ge dug up a dog's tail grass that had not yet bloomed in the green belt by the roadside and brought it back to the dormitory together.
The quenching technique of Shennong's fairy grass recipe requires the help of a wild grass with strong vitality and fecundity. Sui Ge pondered for a while, and felt that the dog's tail grass was quite suitable, and it still survived so well under the poison of herbicides several times a month, and the vitality must be extremely tenacious, so he dug up a plant by the way.
After arriving at the dormitory, Sui Ge locked the door of the dormitory so as not to be disturbed.
Then, he placed five pieces of jade on the five top corners of the pentagonal flower pot, arranged a simple formation according to the method in Shennong's fairy grass recipe, then poured in the sediment, and planted the dog's tail grass into it.
The mud and sand in this pot are also very particular, and it is a slightly fishy red soil that Sui Ge found from Qixia Mountain. According to the Shennong Immortal Grass Recipe, this kind of soil is called "lunar soil", which can absorb the moon and breathe the earth.
After planting, Sui Ge came to the balcony with the flower pot in his hand, he looked at it carefully, and then put the flower pot on the corner of the balcony handrail, and said to himself: "Well, this should be due east." ”
In the end, Sui Ge was ruthless, cut his finger with a small blade, and dripped a few drops of blood on the leaves of the dog's tail grass.
A strange and inexplicable thing happened - a moment later, thirty or forty centimeters above the flower pot, a small white cotton-like cloud appeared out of thin air, and in the small cloud, there was a misty drizzle falling down, enveloping the whole dog's tail grass in this small cloud rain.
Having sex!
This is the clouds and rain formed by the aura in the jade!
Sui Ge was ecstatic in his heart, and even had the urge to shout and scream.
Because at this moment, Sui Ge was finally completely convinced that his money was not spent in vain, and this "Shennong Immortal Grass Recipe" was definitely genuine!
The sudden rain of clouds lasted only five seconds before disappearing.
Under the washing of the clouds and rain, the blood that Sui Ge had previously dripped on the dog's tail grass quickly merged into the stems and leaves of the dog's tail grass.
The dog tail grass that had just been planted immediately radiated a vigorous vitality, and there was a vague and indescribable connection with Sui Ge's spirit.
Excited!
Looking at the dogtail grass in the flower pot, Sui Ge was really excited.
※※※ 6:30 a.m.
The night is still thick, and the sound is silent.
When the other three roommates in the dormitory were still asleep, Sui Ge had quietly climbed up from the bed, and then crept to the balcony quietly, staring intently at the dog's tail grass planted yesterday.
After being washed and moisturized by the clouds and rain formed by the aura, this dog's tail grass is really vigorous and gratifying. The slender leaves, in particular, are as green as emerald. Regardless of anything else, this Shennong fairy grass recipe is used to raise grass, which is really effective.
Ten minutes later, the first rays of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky.
At this moment, a few white threads of smoke slowly rose from the leaves of the dog's tail grass and then lingered over the flower pot.
This is the dog's tail grass instinctively breathing and exhaling the aura of heaven and earth!
According to the true people of Xianyuan, every grass and tree in heaven and earth actually breathes and breathes, but their breathing is very long and silent, so it is ignored by many people.
At this time, the dog's tail grass in the flower pot happened to spit out a few traces of vitality it absorbed in the first rays of morning light.
These few traces of vitality were transformed by the aura clouds and rain absorbed by the dog's tail grass yesterday.
When the aura is absorbed and transformed, it is called the vitality.
This process of transformation is actually cultivation.
The cultivation of plants and trees absorbing the aura of heaven and earth is an instinct, but this instinct is strong and weak. For example, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum and the like, the ability to cultivate is far stronger than ordinary plants and trees, and it can even open spiritual wisdom and become a demon and an immortal. Because of this, people who take this kind of thing are also very beneficial to the body; And things like the Dog's Tail Grass have extremely weak cultivation ability and a very short lifespan, so it is almost impossible to open the spiritual wisdom and become a spiritual grass.
The dogtail grass in the Sui Ge flower pot is different, the clouds and rain produced by the small cloud and rain formation are itself transformed by the pure aura accumulated in the jade for thousands of years, and it is many times thicker than the aura in the natural world. Because of this, just overnight, this dog's tail grass cultivated a few traces of vitality in its body.
But Sui Ge spent money and dripping blood, of course, it was not to assist in the cultivation of this dogtail grass, at this time, seeing this dogtail grass spit out a few traces of vitality, he knew that he could not lose the opportunity, and hurriedly took a mouth and inhaled, wanting to swallow these precious traces of vitality like his stomach.
Perhaps sensing Sui Ge's ill intentions, this dog's tail grass hurriedly absorbed these few traces of vitality into its own stems and leaves.
But Sui Ge's few drops of blood yesterday were not in vain, this dog's tail grass was integrated into Sui Ge's essence blood, so he couldn't resist Sui Ge's behavior, and could only watch a few traces of vitality being swallowed by Sui Ge in his abdomen.
The same breath, but this breath made Sui Ge feel like he was conquering the world and being immortal.
Even if you breathe in Qixia Mountain, which is known as a natural oxygen bar, you will never have this wonderful feeling.
A few traces of vitality entered the abdomen, and soon integrated into Sui Ge's body.
Then, Sui Ge opened his mouth and spat out into the flower pot.
This breath was a foul-smelling gray-black gas, and it was so nauseous that Sui Ge hurriedly held his breath in a panic.
The black qi condensed on the flower pot for a moment, and finally completely dissipated.
Steal the day!
Sui Ge succeeded in stealing a few traces of vitality that had been painstakingly condensed by this dogtail plant, and spit out a mouthful of turbid qi in his body.
Suddenly, Sui Ge felt refreshed and radiant all over his body, and the fatigue brought by waking up early was suddenly swept away.
At this time, Sui Ge was eager to absorb a few more breaths of vitality, but this was tantamount to extravagant hope. And the dog's tail grass, a few traces of vitality that had been hard to condense were stolen by Sui Ge, and the stems and leaves began to settle down immediately, in stark contrast to the vigorous appearance before.
Seeing that the dog's tail grass was about to stop, a cloud and rain of aura gathered appeared over the flower pot again, and sprinkled into the flower pot, and the wild grass was full of vitality again.
Seeing the withered yellow leaves of the dog's tail grass gradually turning green, Sui Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
This proved that his judgment was correct, and the vitality of this dog's tail grass was really strong. Otherwise, once this dog's tail grass completely dies, it means that his sky-stealing technique has completely failed.
