Chapter 3: The Alchemist

Qi, the word is the same as qi, and the meaning is similar, it is the kind of thing that cannot be seen or touched.

However, for cultivators, Qi is the source of everything.

Therefore, although ordinary people often call cultivators immortals and gods, they should actually be called alchemists.

What is cultivation? Actually, it literally means self-cultivation and refining qi.

As for cultivation, it is a little more complicated, because cultivation is a general term for the power that exists in the cultivator's body and is obtained through cultivation.

There is a Tao that all things begin with a Qi, which was discovered as early as the beginning of the world.

Qi is like ten thousand lives, and it gives people the foundation for refining Qi.

At that time, people thought that Qi should be collected into the body, let it nourish the body like water, and then improve the number of lives and the birth method.

But it didn't work out.

Later, a group of cultivators who were regarded as aliens at that time appeared, and they used themselves as furnaces and gathered Qi to condense, although they were ostracized, but the facts proved that they were right.

Since then, this method has spread to the present day.

Refining Qi, that is, taking itself as the tripod, gathering the ownerless Lingqi from all directions to collect it, using the heart fire as a guide, condensing into Yuan Qi, the stronger the Qi Ding, the higher the cultivation, the more prosperous the Yuan Qi, and the stronger the Fa. Therefore, this cultivation method is famous: Bafang Qi Ding.

Looking at Kyushu, although the cultivation method of Bafang Qi Ding may be slightly different, it is not much different in nature.

And cultivation refers to the strength and weakness of the Yuan Qi in the body of the cultivator.

If cultivation is subdivided, it should be divided into three parts: realm, Yuan Qi, and Neidan.

The most important of these is the realm.

Lian Qi Shi, or simply Qi Shi, cultivates for the seven realms of the realm, which are: building the body, spiritual enlightenment, harmony, knotting, peeking into the sky, catastrophe, and rebirth.

Although the name of each level is different, Qi Shi generally does not call the full name, and most of them are the level of their realm, such as the second order of the building body and the fourth order of the combination.

This realm is actually the size of the Bafang Qi Ding.

At the beginning, the heart fire is internally condensed into a tripod, the tripod is small and thin, there are few Lingqi that can be condensed, and the Yuan Qi that can be triggered is weak.

As the realm improves, that is, let the tripod grow, the tripod will grow larger and thicker, and then the amount of Lingqi that can be condensed will increase, and the Yuanqi that can be induced will become stronger.

That is, the realm will be raised.

And Yuan Qi is condensed through the Bafang Qi Ding, stored in the body, and used for casting spells and the power used in the body.

After the Yuan Qi is refined, it will be the first to fill the whole body, and then the Yuan Qi that is refined can be regarded as the stored Yuan Qi. Of course, the Reich that fills the body can also be used, but it can only be used to draw out, not to cast spells.

In Old Xu's eyes, Su Che is currently in a state of having a realm, but Yuan Qi is in a deficit.

After all, others don't know, but Xu Lao knows very well that Su Che is the hardest working one among all his apprentices.

The reason is that he needs to use a large amount of Yuan Qi to keep the Haili Clock stable, so that his sister's soul is always asleep.

To this day, my sister, who is asleep, doesn't know that she is dead.

As an elder brother, he couldn't bear to let his sister bear such a fact, so no matter how difficult or tiring it was, he never stopped cultivating.

In fact, Haili Bell has another way to collect Yuan Qi, that is, to feed it with treasures with Lingqi.

To put it bluntly, it is to feed it a natural treasure, or a magic weapon.

It's just that in the previous five years, Su Che hadn't found anything like that. Xu Lao also tried to find it for five years, but also to no avail.

So far, he has no choice but to give the dump to the child, after all, time is too precious for him.

Asked Su Che rhetorically, he didn't know his situation, was he willing to spend the rest of his life in Jingzhou?

It's just that I was tired by Haili Zhong before, so I had to do it.

Now, the master is pouring out to help with the treasures that he never leaves, and if he doesn't work, he will not only be sorry for the master, but also for his sister.

Night.

Su Che sat cross-legged on the couch, the oil lamp on the small table at the head of the bed swaying with the young man's breathing.

Every time he inhales, the wind from all directions will surge towards him, and every time he exhales, there will be silence around him.

Miaomiao had long been accustomed to it, and it was lying bored on its master's lap, playing with a puppet with its two small paws.

At this time, Su Che had already settled down, and if someone looked carefully, they could see that his eyes were not tightly closed, but left a slit, and observed through his eyelashes, and his eyes were burning with flames at this time.

The heart fire caused by the Bafang Qi Ding has burned all over the body at this time, but the heart fire is internal, and it is its own thing, so it will not hurt itself.

At the same time, because the heart fire will only burn inside, it will not hurt others.

And Su Che, now with his inner eyes, could see that there was a fist-sized tripod on his abdomen, which had been burned red.

Every time you inhale, you can see the trickle of water-like ownerless Lingqi being included in the ding.

Su Che still remembered that when he first came to Xu's house, when he first peeked into Qi Ding, it was only the size of a wine glass, and the small one was pitiful.

Today, although the size of the fist is not an achievement, it is still much stronger than it was at the beginning.

Before, the Yuan Qi that gathered every night would be introduced into the sea glass later, and today was the first time in five years that he had kept it for his own use.

In fact, Su Che has a lot of things he doesn't understand about Bafang Qiding.

Originally, according to Master's words, Qi Ding should be uncontrolled and fluctuating in his body, that is, it would run back and forth between his chest and abdomen.

But Su Che's Qi Ding has not moved his position since he saw it.

Of course, Su Che also informed the master about this matter, but unfortunately the master couldn't solve his doubts, just all kinds of speculations.

What is the specific reason, it is estimated that no one can know if you ask all over Jingzhou, or even all over Suzhou.

However, Su Che also has his own thoughts.

According to medical skills, if the Qi Ding moves with the meridians, it means that something is pressing on the chest, causing the veins on the Ding to solidify.

As for whether it is true or not, we have to wait slowly.

After all, for now, I don't feel anything. And the boy himself has taken his pulse, and even performed needles, but it has no effect.

As for the Yuan Qi Xing Needle, which is used to open the pulse through the body, Su Che does not plan to use it.

He knows very well that his current situation can be said to be the best except for some fatigue, and it will only get worse if he makes adjustments.

So I just didn't care about it for the time being, and I just focused on cultivating.

"Yawn~"

When Su Che was cultivating, he was tormented by Miaomiao, this hour was too early for it, and even if he yawned, he couldn't sleep for days.

Besides, it's not just a beast anymore, it was able to spit out human words five years ago.

Xu Lao said that it is a kind and harmonious beast, and the enlightened mind is not called a demon, but a spirit.

In other words, Miao Miao can actually cultivate, and may be able to cast spells in the future.

It's a pity that for it, cultivation is really boring and a waste of time.

It prefers to take this time to talk to Su Che.

This led to it, after five years of coming here, in addition to being able to spit out people's words, it could not even sacrifice the most basic fire.

In Xu Lao's words, it is really a waste of fate.

Today is Su Che's birthday, and he thought he could talk a lot to his master, but he fell asleep in a daze late at night, and his master did not wake up.

However, it failed to see that after it fell asleep, Su Che's breathing was more steady and heavy than before, so that several oil lamps were extinguished by a single inhalation.
