The shopkeeper took back the bronze mirror and said: "The way of refining qi, also known as eating qi, means swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, you can obtain powerful energy, which can not only nourish the body, but also make you free from fatigue and rejuvenation." And now you have two dark circles under your eyes, you are tired, and you obviously didn't eat that breath, and you are completely in vain. ”

When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

I only listened to the shopkeeper and said: "Okay, seeing that you are still young, you will inevitably go astray, today the old man will be a good person and talk about it for you." ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you shopkeeper, listen to me." ”

"Qi refining attaches great importance to talent, and if you want to become a qi refiner, you must have a spiritual root. ”

When the shopkeeper said this, he looked at Zhang Xuan up and down, and said ruthlessly: "Your kid's qualifications are mediocre, the lower dantian is empty, and there is no spiritual charm, if the old man is not mistaken, you are afraid that you have no spiritual root." ”

"What! can you see my dantian?"

Zhang Xuan said in disbelief: "I don't read much and haven't seen the world, don't lie to me." ”

"You kid doesn't believe it, the old man just kindly reminded you, as for whether you believe it or not, it's your choice. ”

The shopkeeper said that he didn't care, but he was obviously a little angry, and said: "If there is no spiritual root in the body, and you use the technique of spitting indiscriminately to introduce the vitality of heaven and earth into the body to flow, it is tantamount to chronic suicide, and if you continue like this, your kid will die in less than half a month." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Zhang Xuan, threw out a yellowed cheatbook, and said impatiently: "Take it to see for yourself, your book was torn up, since it happened in the old man's inn, it is natural to be responsible for you, and this book should be compensated to you." ”

Zhang Xuan took the yellowed book and found that the book was very thick, and it was hundreds of pages thick.

He wanted to check out, but he immediately dispelled the idea of leaving, paid the room fee for three days again, ordered the food to be delivered to the guest room, and hurried back to the room.

"This kid's body is surrounded by a large amount of heaven and earth vitality, he is swaggering around like this, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, if it weren't for the old man's spirit measuring disk, he really thought that he had met a cultivation genius. ”

After the circle left, a round compass suddenly appeared in the hands of the shopkeeper, this compass is bronze, a large number of inscriptions are engraved on the plate body, the edge has "gold", "wood", "water", "fire", "earth" a total of five ancient words are evenly arranged, and there is a golden pointer in the center is rotating irregularly.

He muttered, "But if he really doesn't have a spiritual root, why is this Ouija disk of mine so restless?"

After a moment of silence from the shopkeeper, something suddenly came to mind, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, but then it dimmed.

"How can there be a special spiritual root in such a barren place? Even if there is, it has nothing to do with the old man, after all, the old man is a martial artist, and that kind of body is useless to the old man. ”

Zhang Xuan returned to the house and said to himself unconvinced: "I can clearly feel a large number of special breaths, and the shopkeeper actually said that I don't have a spiritual root, which is absolutely impossible." ”

For as long as he can remember, he has been locked in Tianxuanfang, it is not accidental, he knows that he is being targeted.

Although he didn't know who the other party was, he knew that he had nothing to covet except for this skin.

In the evening, Zhang Xuan closed the ancient book, and many doubts in his heart were answered.

The spiritual root, the spiritual source of all living beings, can be affinity with the vitality of heaven and earth, and form the first trace of true essence in the body.

Zhang Xuan practiced all night without success, and the main problem was that he couldn't retain the vitality of heaven and earth.

In layman's terms, refining qi is like a marriage between a man and a woman, where the man relies on his own efforts to attract the girl to come, but in the end he can't give the girl a home, and finally leaves ruthlessly.

Zhang Xuan attracted the vitality of heaven and earth through spitting, but he could not retain the vitality of heaven and earth, just because he did not have a "home" that could retain the vitality, and this home was the sea of qi that evolved from the lower dantian.

The process of the evolution of the true element into the sea of qi is actually the process of the growth of the monk, and the true element gradually grows, and even transforms from a gaseous state to a liquid state, opening up a sea of true yuan in the dantian.

"What others say may not be right, and I have to see for myself whether there is a spiritual root or not. ”

In addition to the qi induction formula, there are many small spells in the "basic qi induction" given by the shopkeeper, such as the "inner vision technique", these small spells can be cast without the support of the true element, and can be cast with the vitality of heaven and earth.

Zhang Xuan closed his eyes, his mind sank into the dantian, his six senses were clear, and his body was transformed into Fang Yuan's mind to melt heaven and earth, and the vitality of heaven and earth entered his body and slowly flowed in his body.

At this time, I saw my own lower dantian.

It was chaotic and filthy, and there was a vortex of black cracks, and whenever the stars rotated, a trace of suction would come out of the cracks, pulling some of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into it.

"What kind of spiritual root is this? It actually eats secretly in my body, I can feel the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi approaching me, it turns out that you are secretly doing something, isn't this just eating alone?"

Zhang Xuan's heart was surging, and he wanted to get close to the black vortex to find out, but the vortex seemed to have a sense, and suddenly turned quickly.

He only felt that his eyes were black, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his body was suddenly exhausted, and all of them were sucked into the black cracks, and even the consciousness stored on the Yuan Qi was swallowed in.

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes violently, and suddenly felt that there was something more in his heart, it was an inexplicable connection, and he also had this feeling when he first obtained the spiritual connection established when he first obtained the ordination.

"Could it be that I got in touch with the black vortex?"

Zhang Xuan guessed, held his breath again, performed the internal vision technique, and when he saw the vortex again, he inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy, it was a feeling of blood connection.

"Turn!"

Zhang Xuan drank lightly in his heart, the black vortex moved in response, bursting out with unparalleled suction, the entire dantian fell into pitch black, and the vortex once again hollowed out the heaven and earth vitality in Zhang Xuan's body, and he had to open his eyes.

Bang bang bang!

Outside the house, the shopkeeper's impatient voice said, "Boy, what are you doing in the house?

Zhang Xuan discovered the secret, and was about to share the joy with the shopkeeper, when an aura full of greed rushed in through the door and rushed directly into his eyebrows.

His face was slightly gloomy, and he opened the door quietly, and blamed: "Shopkeeper, that thing is here again, he is targeting me, is your inn safe?"

"Again, why didn't I feel the breath?"

The shopkeeper wondered: "I just went to inquire, and after Cui Mulan's death, the body was carried away by a young man, and now he is eyeing you again, I have to say that he has a fate with you." ”

Zhang Xuan felt that the breath disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with some annoyance: "That hateful Zhou Jiaxian, I have to carry the corpse after killing someone, fortunately I am smart and gave the corpse to three beggars, but I can escape but was targeted by the ghost, this is not fate, but bad luck." ”

The shopkeeper nodded approvingly, and said in agreement: "You kid is indeed unlucky, if you want to blame it, the breath on your body is too weird, that guy probably thinks you are a martial arts wizard who is rare in a hundred years, so he is eyeing you." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I used to be a partner of Tianxuanfang, because the shopkeeper Tang Wu died, I regained my freedom." As for the strange aura in your mouth, it is because when I was locked in the warehouse of Tianxuanfang, I found some herbs in the goods to satisfy my hunger, and I had a strange aura on my body. These days, this breath has begun to subside a lot, and I think it is because the medicinal properties have subsided. ”

"It turned out to be an elixir by mistake, no wonder it was so weird. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Rest at ease, don't always think about refining qi, if you really want to cultivate, you can also try refining your body or refining your soul, but don't hang yourself on a tree." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I plan to go to Sky Wolf City in the near future to see if I can find a fairy fate." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, said a few words of encouragement, and then turned to leave.
