Volume 1 Entering the Nine Realms Chapter 161 Essence and Qi
Yuan Ping sat up straight from the bed and looked at Yun Fan seriously.
As soon as Yun Fan saw Yuan Ping put on this posture, he knew that the master was not just joking, but really wanted to seriously teach himself the medical skills in the ancient medical books, so he also put away his naughty appearance and waited by Yuan Ping's side.
"The description of guiding the qi in the Nine Realms mentioned in the ancient medical book is the sentence 'Take its essence and return it to change qi, you can wish it to yourself', Fan'er, do you know which words are the most important in this sentence?" Yuan Ping asked.
Yun Fan thought for a while, and then replied, "It's the words 'take, move, return, and change'. ”
"Not bad. Yuan Ping nodded, very satisfied with Yun Fan's answer, "As the teacher told you before, according to the records in the ancient medical books, everything in the Nine Realms is composed of 'qi', and whether we want to perceive or guide it, we have to ...... through 'jing'."
In other words, although the things in the Nine Realms are made up of qi, we feel the existence of qi through our essence. Yuan Ping continued to explain, "So Fan'er, do you think qi is more important, or is essence more important?"
"Uh......" Yun Fan didn't seem to expect Yuan Ping to ask such a question, and after thinking about it, he replied, "The disciple thinks that essence is more important......
"Oh, why?" Yuan Ping smiled imperceptibly.
"As Master said, if everything in the Nine Realms is composed of Qi, then whether we can perceive the existence of Qi or not, it will not affect the composition of Qi......" Yun Fan thought for a while and continued to add, "Since the existence of Qi cannot be affected by us, what we can control is Jing, as the so-called thing is man-made, if we can freely control our Jing, we will naturally be able to control the Qi of the Nine Realms, so the disciple thinks that Jing is more important......"
"Haha, a good thing is man-made, and the children can be taught......" Yuan Ping laughed and said, "Fan'er, you are right, essence is indeed more important than qi......"
"Many cultivators in the Nine Realms, whether they are sorcerers or ascetics, they think that they use the qi in the Nine Realms to fight the enemy or strengthen themselves, but in fact, it is just their essence that perceives and guides the corresponding qi, even if it is the connection between you beast tamers and contract beasts, in a sense, it is also a kind of qi ......" Yuan Ping continued to explain to Yun Fan.
"Taking a sorcerer as an example, if a person's essence can perceive the existence of the fire attribute qi in the Nine Realms, then he has already become a fire sorcerer in the realm of knowledge...... As his cultivation and experience continued to become stronger, when his essence was able to channel the qi of the fire attribute, he would be able to cast a fire-based spell......" Yuan Ping said, "Fan'er, since you were able to sense the existence of the qi in the Purple Mansion Phoenix Returning Grass before, it means that your essence is extremely powerful, and the origin of our body is also qi, you can try to use your essence to feel it......"
After saying that, Yuan Ping closed his eyes and tried to demonstrate to Yun Fan how to feel the existence of his own qi.
"Oh......" Hearing the master say that his essence was extremely powerful, Yun Fan naturally didn't believe it, his essence couldn't even perceive the five most common qi of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth, how could it be powerful...... The reason why he was able to perceive the qi of the purple mansion phoenix returning to the grass before should have been purely coincidental when he entered the realm of epiphany......
But thinking about it, Yun Fan still obediently followed what Yuan Ping said, closing his eyes like a master, feeling and perceiving the existence of his own qi.
The five breaths passed slowly......
Ten breaths passed slowly......
Breath passed slowly......
Yun Fan still couldn't feel the existence of any qi, and his mood began to gradually become impetuous.
Take its essence and return it to change its anger, you can wish yourself.
It's easy to say in the book...... Yun Fan thought to himself, he was about to open his eyes and give up trying to sense this boring qi, but suddenly his heart flashed, he only felt that something existed, but he couldn't grasp it.
Don't...... Thinking of this, Yun Fan calmed down for a moment, wanting to feel the flash of inspiration just now.
And this time, Yun Fan didn't have the same impetuousness as before.
After all, compared to aimlessly perceiving qi that I don't know exists, it does make people feel helpless and confused, but if there is a hint of direction, even if it is just a flash of inspiration, it will also give people a goal to move forward.
I don't know how long it took, that feeling of flashing heart appeared in Yun Fan's heart again, but this time, Yun Fan didn't let it disappear easily.
It was an extremely faint air current, and if it weren't for the feeling of perceiving that flash of his mind twice, Yun Fan would not have sensed its existence at all.
The existence of this air flow is extremely weak, when it passes over Yun Fan's body, it is even far less than half the strength of the breeze, but its flow speed is very fast, at the beginning Yun Fan can only occasionally perceive its appearance, as the number of times he perceives this air flow increases, Yun Fan also discovered the law of the appearance of this air flow, that is, it appears every thirty breaths or so, but the intensity of each appearance is different.
When it is strong, it will have a flash of heart, and when it is weak, it can only be felt.
As the frequency of the airflow continued to strengthen, Yun Fan was shocked to find that this airflow did not appear out of thin air, but had always existed in his body, and it continued to flow in his body at an extremely fast speed, and the reason why there was a flash of heart was that when this airflow passed through his mind, he would perceive it.
Is this my anger...... Yun Fan opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that Yuan Ping was already waiting by his side, quietly waiting for the results of his perception.
"How is it?" Yuan Ping asked with concern when he saw Yun Fan open his eyes.
"Master...... I felt a faint flow of air in my body, and it was constantly flowing through my body...... It gave me a very strange feeling...... "Yun Fan recalled, "although it was a little blurry, I seemed to be able to see the structure of my own body clearly......"
"Fan'er, this is your qi...... But you can feel your qi in an hour...... It really surprised the teacher......" Yuan Ping said in surprise, and even the eyes that looked at Yun Fan changed a little, "The teacher just intends to teach you the method of feeling first, and then let you continue to practice perception......"
"But the teacher can see that you are extremely involved in the state of perception, so I can't bear to disturb you for a while......" At this time, Yuan Ping, there was a look of surprise that could not be concealed between his eyebrows, after all, meeting a disciple with amazing talent is the most gratifying thing for every teacher.
"I didn't expect it...... You actually perceive your own qi like this......" Yuan Ping said with a smile.
