"Then what if the inner disciple spreads the word?" Shi An asked.

"First of all, there is no written material in the whole book of "The Four Elephants Heart Method", except for the elders of the Yuan generation and the master of the Chuangong Hall, who have a jade slip and a thread-bound book. When an inner disciple wants to learn the next level of mental method, he must first be examined by the disciple of the Chuan Gong Tang, make a record and report, and only after the approval of the hall master can he teach him, so as to prevent someone from learning the mental method with impure motives. Secondly, except for the disciples of the Chuan Gong Hall, who can teach the Dharma according to the rules of the sect, other inner disciples are not allowed to teach each other and between the inner disciples and the outer disciples. In addition, disciples who have mastered the exercises are not allowed to record what they have learned in words or jade slips, even their own cultivation experience, otherwise it will be a sin of spreading it to the outside world. In this way, the possibility of leakage of mental law is eliminated. In addition, many other methods of the sect also have relevant regulations, although they are not as strict, but they are also serious crimes after leaking. According to the history of the sect, since the founding of the sect, there have been only seven disciples who have been punished by passing on the practice for various reasons, and one of them is still my former junior disciple. It is a serious crime to spread the Dharma externally, and once it is discovered, it will immediately destroy its cultivation and cut off its spiritual roots. Therefore, once you enter the Four Elephants, unless you die, there is no possibility of leaving the school. ”

"It's so harsh!" Shi An said with his tongue out.

"This is the basic rule of the major sects in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the small sects don't pay much attention to this. That's why the stronger the sect, the stricter the rules," Yuan Miaozi continued, "Of course, there is an exception to the three major sects of the Four Elephants, Wu Luobao and the Jihai Sect, and if you practice to the Yuan infant stage, you must leave the sect at that time. The Yuanying monks of the Four Elephant Sect had to go to the place designated by the original ancestor master, and the situation of the other two sects was unknown, so they had to leave anyway. This kind of departure is not considered a foreign legend among the three sects. ”

"Yuanying Monk must leave the sect? What kind of strange rule is this?" Shi An was very curious, no wonder there was no Yuanying Monk in the sect, he had always thought that Yuanying Monk was just a legend.

"I don't know this, only when you enter the Yuan Infant Period can you have the opportunity to enter the secret room of the sect, where there are various arrangements left by the ancestor when he left the sect three thousand four hundred years ago, one of which is that the Yuan Infant Period must leave. After seventy-two generations, more than a dozen Yuanying monks have gone out of this sect, and I don't know what happened to them now. Our generation is very strong, and now your Yuantong Master Ancestor and Yuan Gu Master Ancestor have already completed their Dan Formation Period, and they should be about to cross the tribulation to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, and I don't know if they can all succeed in the Tribulation this time?" Yuan Miaozi looked ahead and sighed.

"Then what level of mental method is our "Four Elephant Mental Method"?" Shi An saw that Yuan Miaozi was a little sad, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"This is really not easy to compare, compared with the mental methods of several small sects in Zhaoguo, the "Four Elephant Mental Methods" is extremely advanced, at least it should be intermediate or above, and it should be comparable to the mental methods of Wu Luobao and the Extreme Sea Sect. ”

"Then can I practice the Four Elephants Mind Method?"

"Of course, you are an inner disciple, and I have passed it on personally, and I will definitely give you the best mental method. Yuan Miaoko smiled. As he spoke, he patted the small bag on his waist, and a thread-bound book appeared in front of Shi An. "This is the thread-mounted "Four Elephants Heart Method" in my hand, you can take it and look at it, and return it to me after opening the Zhoutian meridians on the first layer, and when it is time to cultivate the second layer, you can continue to look at it. Don't lose it, or I won't be able to save you. ”

Shi An put the book close to his body, and suddenly became interested in the small sac on Yuan Miaozi's waist, and asked: "Master, I saw that as soon as you slapped that small sac, something appeared, what kind of magic weapon is this?"

"Magic weapon?hahaha, this is not a magic weapon, this thing is called a storage bag, which can hold the dead things of the five elements, and can also cover up the aura of the item, but the living creatures of birds, beasts, and cordyceps cannot be placed in it, and those things have their own special utensils to store. This storage bag can be big or small, the big one can be tens of zhang square, and the small one is the size of the Eight Immortals Table, it is just a small magic weapon. ”

"Magic weapon?" Another new term, Shi An'an said that there are really a lot of new things in the immortal cultivation world.

"Well, the utensils used by the monks are divided into grades, the lowest level is called the magic weapon, generally using refined iron, refined copper and other primary materials as the main material, the value is solid, the aura can be driven, according to the quality can be divided into the lower grade, the middle grade, the upper grade, the lower grade and the middle grade of the magic weapon can be used in the middle of the refining of qi, can not change the shape and size, the upper grade of the magic weapon needs to be used above the foundation, the size can already be changed. And the magic weapon must be driven above in the early stage of the pill, and you will slowly know these common senses after you start to cultivate. Speaking of this, Yuan Miaozi said again: "Take this time as an example, my mission is to retrieve a medium-grade magic weapon. One day when he went home to visit his relatives, he came across a bell mined in the mine, which was simple and heavy, and ordinary in the eyes of mortals, while the monk looked like a spirit. As soon as this disciple saw it, he knew that the bell had an extraordinary origin, and informed the sect with a transmission note. The sect was afraid that this aura would attract other monks to rob it, so he ordered him to send it to the Weifu Dart Bureau overnight and sent me to retrieve it. When I passed by Cangmeng Mountain, I saw that there was a hundred-year-old Weilan on the top of the mountain, so I was ready to pick it with my hands, but unexpectedly a third-level demon beast yellow spotted python came out next to it, and I was careless to realize that there was still this beast in the mortal world, and was injured by it. I had no choice but to go to the Taoist Truth Temple to breathe and recuperate, and I met you by chance, but it was really a few days. ”

Shi An finally understood the origin of an inexplicable earthquake in the valley that day, and it turned out that the ancestor was fighting with the demon beast. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then why doesn't the disciple use this storage bag to hold this magic weapon?

"Although the storage bag is a low-grade magic weapon, it can only be used at least until the middle stage of qi refining, and that outer disciple only has three layers in the qi refining period, so he can't open the storage bag at all. Besides, the storage bag is not available to all cultivators who have cultivated above the middle stage of Qi refining, and only those who are wealthy can buy it, and there are only three or five hundred people in our sect who have storage bags. ”

"Monks can also trade items among themselves?" Shi An was a little puzzled, could it be that the immortal cultivation world also has the same special trading as the secular world?

"Yes, but instead of using worldly things like gold and silver, we need to use spirit stones and other cultivation things. There are too many questions for you, let's talk about cultivation first, and you'll know the rest later. Yuan Miaozi said impatiently.

"Yes, Master, please continue. Shi An was a little embarrassed.

"Moving on to the cultivation of the Qi refining period, there is a cultivation method of the water spirit root in the "Four Elephants Heart Method", which is called the method of Guihai. Speaking of this, Yuan Miaozi explained: "We often say that Jiayimu, Bingdinghuo, Gengxin Jin, Non Gui Shui, and Wuji Earth are the attributes of the five elements. The water line is divided into non water and decay water, non water is yang water, which is the water of the great river and sea, and decay water is yin-water, which is the water of rain, dew, frost, snow and softness. The five elements also have the attributes of the earthly branch, among which the son is yang water, Hai is yin-water, and the water spirit root heart method in the "Four Elephants Heart Law" is the law of yin-water, and the two words that represent yin-water in the heavenly stem and earthly branch are combined together, so it is called the law of Guihai. ”

"Is there also a way to do it?" Shi An asked.

"Well, that's good," Yuan Miaozi nodded and said, "The sect's records do have the method of Renzi Yang Water, but I don't know why the ancestor didn't pass it down. This method of decorating the Yin - water is weak and long, moisturizing and penetrating, and the initial cultivation progress may be a little slow, but after reaching the third layer, it will be slowly better. The method of Guihai is divided into ten layers, corresponding to the ten levels of the Qi refining period, each layer of the heart method has a Zhoutian meridian, the initial Zhoutian meridian is eighteen acupuncture points, and the acupuncture points of the Zhoutian meridian are decreasing step by step, and the tenth layer is nine. ”

"Speaking of cultivation, the so-called cultivation is not the method of cultivating the mind, the method of the mind is just a tool, a means to control acupuncture points and penetrate the meridians, and it can be mastered. True cultivation is to send the aura into the sea of qi. Controlling acupuncture points is the first step, and acupuncture points have a characteristic that the direction pointing to the position of the sea of qi is always closed, but the opposite direction is unblocked. Therefore, when the aura enters the sea of qi, it is necessary to use the mantra to open every acupuncture point of the journey. There is no need for that when the aura is exported, which is why it is difficult for the aura to enter the body, but it is easy to output it. If you want to control the acupuncture points, you must first open up the acupuncture points. The so-called opening of acupuncture points means that when the monk enters the acupuncture point for the first time, the original impurities are removed, and the acupuncture points are activated after the impurities are eliminated, and the spiritual energy can be controlled by mantras in the future. When all the acupuncture points on this meridian are opened, it is called through the meridians, and once the meridians are connected, it can be said that they have entered this level. ”

"The next step is very simple, it just needs to be continuously transported along the meridians to the sea of qi. The process of the entry of the aura from the beginning of the acupuncture point to the cessation of the sea of qi is called a Zhou Tian. Constantly sending spiritual energy to accumulate in the sea of qi is the so-called cultivation. Yuan Miaozi told the story.

"The disciple understood. Then my current task is to learn the mental method, figure out all the acupuncture points of the first layer of meridians, and then open them one by one. After the entire meridian is cleared, I absorb the aura, and when I pass through each acupuncture point of the meridian, I recite the mantra written on the mental method to open the acupuncture points, and finally let the auraki pass through to the sea of qi. Master, is the disciple right?" Shi Andao.

"Exactly. The first layer is very easy to cultivate, and the aura required is not much, in a cultivation environment where the aura with the same attributes is abundant enough, the dual spiritual roots are about ten days, and your spiritual roots are twice as thick as them, so it should be used for about five days. ”

"What does an aura with the same attributes mean?"

"Of course, it means that the spiritual root and the spiritual energy should have the same attribute. The spiritual root can only enter and exit the aura of the same attribute, and if you are the water spiritual root, you can only absorb the water aura when you cultivate, and other spiritual qi will have no effect on your cultivation. I told you before that the current immortal cultivation world is very different from before, and the aura in the previous places was relatively pure. Single, the distribution of the aura of each attribute is distinct, the rivers, lakes and seas gather the water aura, the forest and grassland gather the wood aura, the volcano converges the fire aura, the mine collects the gold aura, and the desert basin gathers the earth aura, of course, it is not completely pure, and there are also cases of doping together, for example, the swamp land is rich in water aura and earth aura, and the underground magma cave is rich in fire aura and earth aura, but there is no phenomenon of a variety of aura mixed together. After the sudden upheaval 13,000 years ago, I don't know what happened between heaven and earth, causing the five elements of spiritual energy to be mixed together. The more spiritual root attributes, the more likely it is to absorb more kinds of spiritual energy at the same time, which is why the cultivation progress of multiple spiritual roots is faster than that of single spiritual roots now. Yuan Miaozi said.

"Also, I don't want to tell you more about the specific methods of eliminating impurities and opening up acupuncture points, you can explore it by yourself with your understanding. One thing to keep in mind is that you must be familiar with the characteristics of your attribute Reiki and proceed according to this characteristic. ”

"I understand, where can I cultivate well, Master?" Shi An asked.
