Chapter 16: Cultivation
It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when Chen Youdao got home, and his father and grandmother were asleep. When he returned to the room, he locked the door and carefully opened the bronze box, and there were two books under the crystal jade pendant.
Chen Youdao remembered the words of the Zodiac priest, this jade pendant is very mysterious. Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Huh, warm?"
This jade pendant is not as cold as other jade, and a trace of warmth spreads from the palm of Chen Youdao's whole body, which is very comfortable, and the whole person is much more energetic. Chen Youdao confirmed in his heart that what Huang Daoshi said was true, and it must be a piece of treasure jade.
Open the first scripture, "The Book of the Big Dipper", the Big Dipper is the cardinal of creation, the master of man and God, with the power of resurrection and death, the power of heaven and earth, and people who are not true can not learn it.
Looking at the introduction, Chen Youdao was a little excited, thinking that the zodiac could pull his grandmother back from death, isn't it the ability to come back to life.
Carefully reading the content of the Beidou Sutra, Chen Youdao couldn't cry or laugh a little, the gods did not leave the qi, the qi did not leave the gods, the gods gathered in the dantian, led the qi of heaven and earth, rushed to the Beidou angrily, and the immortal fetus was self-knottingγγγγγγ
Just when Chen Youdao was puzzled, a warm current came from the jade pendant, and Chen Youdao gradually had a trace of understanding of the "Beidou Sutra". Empty your mind, feel the aura of heaven and earth, gather the aura in the dantian, and run the heavens. The human body is like a map of the Big Dipper, and activating the Big Dipper in the body can have great power.
Chen Youdao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and tried to cultivate.
Sure enough, there was a faint aura between heaven and earth, which seemed to be like colorful filaments, slowly converging towards Chen Youdao. Suddenly I felt that my mind was empty, my body was comfortable, and a trace of warm current flowed in the meridians, merging into the dantian, refining through the dantian, and turning into a little light yellow air mass and sinking in the dantian.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was white.
"It's dawn?"
Seeing that it was dawn, Chen Youdao stopped cultivating and felt how his body had changed.
I haven't slept all night, my spirit is still full, I don't feel sleepy at all, my body is full of strength at all, and the feeling is completely different from qigong, this kind of power moves with my heart, and there seems to be a trace of spiritual power in the meridians, is it true qi?
Chen Youdao was extremely excited, quietly slipped out of the door, came to the open space behind the house, and punched out, the fist wind whistled, and the sound of breaking the air was endless. In order to test his strength, Chen Youdao punched a tree as thick as a thigh, but the tree couldn't withstand a punch and broke off in response. Chen Youdao himself was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and looked at his fist incredulously, unharmed. Then I tried my leg strength, and with a slight jump, I jumped several meters high.
"I've only been practicing for one night, and I have such skills, don't I really have the ability to resurrect and die, and move the heavens and the earth?"
Chen Youdao was very excited, and he didn't think about it anymore, and turned around and went home.
Back home, my grandmother cooked the noodles and peeled the sweet potatoes.
Chen Youdao said to his grandmother while eating: "Grandma, you rest, I'll help you cut it later." β
"It's okay, grandma is healthy, and if you don't do some work, you'll be in a panic. β
Chen Youdao didn't say much, looking at the kind appearance of his grandmother's work.
"Huh, sweet potatoes contain aura?" Chen Youdao, who had cultivated the "Beidou Sutra", could now perceive the aura of heaven and earth, and found that there was a faint aura in the sweet potato in his grandmother's hand. Chen Youdao put down his chopsticks, walked up to his grandmother and observed the sweet potato. There is indeed a faint aura in the sweet potato, and there is a little bit of aura in each sweet potato, Chen Youdao rushed to the outside of the house, and couldn't help but look at the other vegetables in the vegetable field, all of them have a trace of spiritual power, more or less, I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, even the trees, flowers and plants contain a trace of aura.
"Everything has a spirit?" Then why is there no fluctuation of spiritual power in humans and animals? Why are people unable to cultivate after eating so much food containing spiritual power? Why can't people absorb the spiritual power in the air? A large wave of questions followed?
"Could it be that you can only cultivate if you have cultivated the Beidou Sutra?"
"Dao'er, when are you going to school?" Grandma's voice sounded behind her, pulling Chen Youdao back from his trance.
"Grandma, today is Friday, it's a holiday, I'll just go back on Sunday. β
"Oh, today is the day of the market in the town, I'm going to buy some fish, will you come with me?"
"I'm not going, Grandma, I want to stay at home. β
"Alright, you can make something to eat at noon. β
When grandma went out, Chen Youdao returned to the room, opened the "Anzhen Law Sutra" and read it. βGe Hong.
"Anzhen Law Sutra" was written by Ge Hong during the Wei and Jin dynasties, which probably means that the aura of heaven and earth has become weak, and it can no longer absorb the aura, and it is impossible to cultivate the truth, and it is impossible to become a Taoist, thus creating some "side doors". It records the way of feng shui, exorcism, healing, and alchemy. Flip it over slightly.
The so-called "Changing Destiny Against the Sky" is to transfer other people's lives to himself or others, which is equivalent to exchanging lives for lives. Isn't this the method that the zodiac priest applied that day? Thinking of this, Chen Youdao felt guilty in his heart. Looking at the direction of Wolong Mountain opposite, I felt a cramping pain in my heart.
But the matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable. Only by cultivating well can you live up to the expectations of the zodiac priests. Ease his mood, Chen Youdao continued to read, "The Art of Alchemy", everything in the world has spirituality, set fire and quench, remove its impurities, retain spirituality, follow the principles of heaven, and melt into Dan. "Zhuyan Dan" can beautify and nourish the skin, remove scars and freckles. "Zhuji Dan" ancient pill formula, accelerate the condensation of dantian aura, break through the auxiliary pill of the qi training period, "Tianji Dan" healing elixir, heal injuries have excellent effects...... "quenching decision", with the true qi in the body to urge, borrowing the fire of the five elements of heaven and earth...... This can be tried, Chen Youdao sat cross-legged and performed according to the "quenching decision", and sure enough, a flame appeared in the palm of his hand, the flame was cyan, the oncoming heat wave, the burning air was sizzling, and his hand did not feel burned. The flame can still move at will, it can be big or small, but after a while, it is obvious that the true qi in the body is rapidly consumed, and Chen Youdao stops using it.
Can the "Zhuyan Pill" cure Su Qian's face? Chen Youdao couldn't help but wonder.
"Zhuyan Dan, Ganoderma lucidum, ambergris, Cordyceps, Snow Lotus, Polygonum multiflori, deer antler, seahorse. Take an appropriate amount of seven kinds of medicinal materials and smelt them for 7749 hours. β
Secretly remembering, Chen Youdao cultivated again, and the slightest trace of spiritual energy flowed in, gradually enriching the dantian and replenishing the true qi consumed by the quenching duel just now...... The dantian in my body is full of staring aura, I should be in the Qi training period......
Early on Sunday morning, Chen Youdao took a shuttle bus to Shashi.
Shashi, in Su Qian's villa.
"Mr. Su, there is something I want to ask you for help with, I need seven kinds of medicinal herbs and a Dan furnace. β
"These are all precious medicinal materials, as well as the Dan furnace, what are you going to do?" Su Qian was puzzled when she heard Chen Youdao ask her for these things,
"Mr. Su, I have learned some methods of alchemy. Want to try it. β
"That's just charlatanism, you better stop playing that. Su Qian was wearing a mask, she couldn't see her expression, and her tone of reproach was obvious.
"Mr. Su, I'm serious. β
Seeing that Chen Youdao looked serious and not joking, Su Qian agreed to Chen Youdao's request, "I'll call someone to send it, you wait here first." β
"Thank you, Mr. Su, Mr. Su, remember to buy good medicinal materials. Chen Youdao had some expectations.
Chen Youdao had lunch at Su Qian's house, Su Qian wore a mask all the time, and she went back to her room to eat alone. Chen Youdao looked at Su Qian like this, and he couldn't bear it, and he became more and more determined to refine the pill.
Soon after the meal, Su Qian's driver delivered everything he needed.
"Mr. Su, the things have been brought, and the medicinal materials are not difficult to find, but this alchemy furnace has been looking for a long time, and finally I bought it from a vendor in the antique market, and this furnace cost 30,000 yuan. "The driver asked Su Qian for instructions when he bought it, and now he reports it to Su Qian.
"Well, I see, I'll explain to the finance, you go and reimburse. Su Qian looked very calm, and then asked the driver to hand it over to Chen Youdao.
"Mr. Su, that, I still need to stay with you for three days. Chen Youdao listened to the price of these things and felt a little weak, in case the alchemy failed, it would be a big loss, and he weakly continued to raise the demand for alchemy with Su Qian.
"Feel free to do so. After Su Qian finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to Chen Youdao.
Chen Youdao returned to the room, and the room was still the same as when he lived. Sitting on the ground and looking at the Dan furnace in front of me, I don't know what material it is, the Dan furnace is not too big, the size of a basin, three-legged, the whole body is pitch black, like iron and copper, and there are mottled traces of time. As soon as he said it, Chen Youdao cleaned the Dan furnace and sent a text message to tell Su Qian not to disturb and lock the door.
No longer hesitating, Chen Youdao ran Zhou Tian to adjust the true qi in his body to the fullest state, and then put the medicinal materials into the Dan furnace and urged the quenching to start refining.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, the flame that he urged wholeheartedly, inadvertently, Chen Youdao could actually feel the changes in the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace, which gradually melted and mixed into one. Chen Youdao couldn't help but be surprised, why could he see the scene inside the Dan furnace in his mind? This was his spiritual perception, he didn't know what spiritual consciousness was.
I didn't think about it anymore, my mind was all on alchemy, and I carefully controlled the fire.
It wasn't until forty-nine hours later that it stopped, Dancheng. Ten pill materials have been refined into two finished Zhuyan Pills, one of which is full of flaws and pits. After practicing the pill, Chen Youdao's true qi in his body was exhausted, and he was very weak mentally, but he was very excited, and he went out to find Su Qian with two pills.
At this time, Su Qian was sitting on the sofa reading a book, quietly.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su. Chen Youdao stood on the second floor excitedly and shouted Su Qian downstairs.
"What's the matter? Are you hungry? Stayed in the room for two days and two nights. I don't know if you're dead inside. Su Qian was relieved to see Chen Youdao coming out of the room.
"Hey, Mr. Su, come up. β
"What's the matter, I'm surprised. Su Qian walked up the stairs and looked like a child eating candy.
"Let's go, Mr. Su, go to your room. Chen Youdao pushed Su Qian into her room.
Su Qian, who was pushed away, was confused.......
