Chapter 18: Cultivating the Upper Dantian

Jin Ziming meditates while experiencing deep meditation.

First the flesh and bones are blurred, leaving only the empty shell, and then the skin is also melted away, and the whole person is transformed into air or aura, and the consciousness travels freely in the world, as if coexisting with the long river of time.

This made him experience the profundity, ethereal and mysterious, everything seems so pure and simple, but it also implies Taoism.

A kind of enlightenment came to his heart, and he seemed to be enlightened, and he was able to discover the essence of things more quickly.

The feeling of an empty shell begins to come as soon as you want to come, and a sense of complete nothingness can often be reached.

After persisting in this practice of being in harmony with heaven and earth for a year, he condensed the colored soul qi into a tight ball, like a bright pearl.

The ascetic practice was not always efficient, and he felt that without new exercises, it would be difficult for him to improve.

The human brain has a limit, since the skill has come to an end temporarily, in the absence of a guiding light, the only way is to calm down and polish the state of mind.

Once, Huang Xiucai's family wanted to go to the temple on the mountain to offer incense, and in order to deal with the infestation of wild beasts and bandits, they forcibly dragged him with him.

In the temple, smelling sandalwood, listening to the sound of Buddha, and looking at the devout believers, he found that his colorful soul qi had a more mellow and mellow feeling.

The host also said that he had a relationship with the Buddha and gave him a lot of scriptures, and after he returned, Jin Ziming read them by the river when he had time.

The Heart Sutra made him understand that all human troubles come from the unattainment of desires, and that he is only in his twenties now, and it is impossible for him to be without desires.

He can still set lofty goals, but when he encounters troubles, he temporarily lowers his original demands and establishes a more achievable stage goal for himself, so that he does not have to worry about the failure of his desires;

And after achieving it, gradually raise the goal and lead yourself to continuous improvement.

There is a teenager named Ah Ming in the martial arts hall, and his childhood sweetheart's sister disregards the oath of the mountain league and the sea, and instead marries a new recruit, which makes him miserable, gives up on himself, and also affects the practice of other students in the martial arts hall.

Lao He was very annoyed and wanted to clean up this little guy, but was dissuaded by Jin Ziming. He called the boy to his room, took out a pen and paper, and said:

"Amin, now you write me about that girl's twenty shortcomings."

"Alright, Master Kim." The young man was forced by his obscenity, reluctantly picked up the pen, and after thinking for a long time, he could write four articles:

"Sometimes I don't have a good attitude", "My mother doesn't like her very much", "Her personality is a little weird, sometimes I don't understand what she wants", "I don't know how to cook", and then Xiao Ming can't write anything else.

Jin Ziming inspired:

"Xiao Ming, think about it again, for example, whether she is filial to your parents, whether she is interested in her hobbies, and his attitude towards your martial arts, if you don't have a stable income in the future, will she be good to you?"

Ah Ming's mind suddenly opened up, and he listed nearly thirty shortcomings at once.

Jin Ziming picked up the piece of paper, looked at it with satisfaction, and then slammed it on Xiao Ming's face, and said hatefully:

"Since this girl is this way, you are stupid, and you are still so obsessed?

You should immediately invite your brothers out for a drink, celebrate getting rid of this sick chick in advance, and congratulate you on being freed from now on and going to find a better girl. ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really the case, he hurriedly thanked him, and excitedly pulled people to drink.

When you can't get a person or a thing, you might as well think of him as worthless, so that your worries will be light, and you can happily run towards a new future, why not?

In addition to continuing to play against people, Jin Ziming began to spend more time observing the daily lives of mortals.

Seeing their joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and even experiencing the hardships of the lives of the lower classes, gradually, his mentality has undergone some changes.

One late winter night, he was in a daze by the river and met a middle-aged couple dressed plainly dressed on his way home.

The two happily held hands, the man looked like a worker carrying goods at the dock, only to hear him say excitedly:

"Wife, I'm so lucky today, I've always had a job, and I've earned a total of twenty-three copper coins."

The woman, who seemed to have just returned from the servant, responded happily:

"I also earned twelve copper coins today."

"Then let's go to the East Gate now, go to Grandma Wang's shop, grill a few more meat skewers, and celebrate."

"Okay, okay, go right now!"

In the cold night, although the cold wind blows, this simple conversation is heartwarming and touching.

Jin Ziming stood in the darkness, his heart was first moved, then quiet and harmonious, and then a lightning bolt crossed his mind, making him suddenly realize:

It turns out that this life is like climbing a mountain, some people only stand at the foot of the mountain, such as this couple, but they can be content and happy;

Some people can climb to the mountainside and turn their heads to look at the ordinary life of the people below, which can also be happy and satisfying in comparison;

There are still a few people, after unremitting struggle and hard work, finally climbed to the top of the mountain, to see the magnificent scenery in the distance, to see the busy people below.

This is a beautiful world that people on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain cannot appreciate, and it is a different level of happiness.

Everyone can be at peace with what happens, and they can be content and happy at different levels, but what about themselves?

Climbing the mountain has just begun, you might as well look at the people on the top of the mountain, stimulate more upward momentum, and maybe you will have a day when you can see all the mountains.

As soon as I thought about this section, I felt a roar in my head, and the colored qi beads that had been polished to perfection were completely condensed, and it was strung on the blue tube that ran through the lower dantian and Baihui, and it spontaneously rotated happily.

He had an epiphany in the dark that his primordial spirit had been promoted to the early stage of the triple stage, and he could spread a distance of nearly seven miles, and everything he passed through was vivid.

And what surprised him even more than the breakthrough of the Yuan Shen was that he had cultivated the upper dantian!

"Worm, your end has come." The corners of Jin Ziming's mouth curled slightly, revealing an evil smile.

The soul worm seemed to feel an extreme danger, and it began to struggle desperately, trying to get out of Jin Ziming's divine consciousness space.

But the shield had been deformed, turning into an open cocoon, which snapped shut and encased it in it.

Jin Ziming used his soul power to conjure up a sharp blade, and was about to insert it, but with one knife, he turned out to be this Gu worm that had tormented him for several years.

Suddenly, his spirit received a message, which turned out to be the worm's plea for mercy:

"Don't do it yet, I'm willing to recognize you as the master, I'm from the noble bloodline soul worm clan.

After a heavy injury, he lost most of his memories and was exiled to the world, where he changed hands several times before he was accidentally obtained by a low-level monk named Tan Wu.

I will definitely be able to become strong again in the future, and I can bring you a lot of help. ”

"I don't believe you, especially since you're still in my soul, it's too insecure."

"No, I can swear in the name of the soul lord and serve you as the lord.

And now that your strength is higher than mine, you can set up a soul cage and imprison me inside, and when needed, you can transfer me out with a single thought to assist your attack. ”

Jin Ziming thought about it, he was too weak now, and it was a good choice to have such a helper, so he could imprison it first.

As for the oath, he couldn't believe it, and he would wait until he could completely control this insect in the future before letting it out to harm people.

It's just that for now, whether it's useful or not, it doesn't hurt to let this guy swear a poisonous oath.

So the two enemies who had been fighting to the death for many years reached an agreement and made peace, and Jin Ziming set up a cage in the corner of the soul and threw the worm into it.

Jin Ziming was twenty-three years old, his body was stronger and stronger, and his eyes were more profound, and he knew that it was time to leave Youtang City.

After the last three years of cultivation, in addition to the promotion of the Yuan Shen, the cultivation has reached the peak level of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and it may break through to the Foundation Building Stage at any time.

In terms of knife technique, the unity of human and knife has long been practiced, but the knife posture has not been realized.

The "Thousand Layer Waves" have already practiced three hundred and twenty-eight heavy waves, which are extremely powerful, and may be able to compete with the monks of the late stage of foundation building and even the Great Perfection.

There were still more than six years before he was thirty years old, and since he didn't know the entry assessment time of the Lingyun faction, Jin Ziming had to complete the foundation building as soon as possible, and then rushed to Nanfeng Continent.

He put the foreign boxing method and knife book on the table, simply repaired the book, left it to He Ning, and then left.

Jin Ziming first went to a medium-sized city, teleported to Qilin City in the northeast of Xijinzhou, and then teleported to Chaosong City in Beikuizhou, and then changed to walk and went south.

All the way with the encounter, with a relaxed and happy mood to visit and understand, at this stage what he needs most is to see more and understand.

He tasted food and wine in the city, went to the market to choose what he liked, experienced the tranquility and harmony in the small town, watched the smoke and butterflies flying in the fields, watched the morning mist by the lake, hunted wild beasts in the forest, and recalled the life in the black forest.

The polishing of his mood made him only a paper away from the foundation building period, but what kind of opportunity can he break it?

Along the way, Jin Ziming has been to a lot of Taoist temples and temples, read a lot of classics and scriptures, and he admires the great wisdom of the two from the bottom of his heart.

After leaving Youtang City for more than a year, Jin Ziming climbed an unnamed mountain along a gravel paved mountain road and found a small temple on the top of the mountain, called "Jiuxia Temple".
