Chapter 49: Qi Refining
What is Qi refining, that is, exercising oneself through pranayama, qi and other methods to achieve the most basic conditions required for cultivation.
This is the first paragraph at the beginning of the "Casting and Cultivation", Wang Lung can only understand part of the meaning, he can't understand it more profoundly, pranayama, qi Wang Lung knows the Tao, but how to use these means to exercise the body, he doesn't understand.
The cultivators guarding his side don't have to be fools, and Wang Lung can't be stupid and ask for questions he doesn't understand, hoping that the other party can answer them for himself.
Since the old urchin gave Wang Lung the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter", the two brothers didn't need to hide anything from him at all, especially in the cultivation of the basic law, as long as Wang Lung had questions, he would answer them in detail.
In order to let Wang Lung better understand the "Casting and Cultivation", he first explained some basic knowledge to the other party, which is what the Qi refining period and the perception period are, and how to start from the first step and slowly step into the next step.
Just like the opening chapter of "Casting and Cultivation", refining qi is the most critical foundation for becoming a cultivator, and only when the foundation is laid well, can a cultivator be more hopeful in the future by breaking through his perception and achievement.
Qi refining is to exercise the body, and only by making the body a qualified product can it be possible to become a cultivator.
Exercising the body is not only limited to the Qi refining period, each stage will improve the physical strength, it is possible that after stepping into the ranks of cultivators, it is more concerned about spiritual power reserves, law perception, spiritual law formations and other aspects, and I do not deliberately exercise myself, and I feel that the physical strength is still the same as the Qi refining period.
This understanding is wrong, because the perception of the aura of heaven and earth during the qi refining period is very low, and the disposable aura itself is very small, so the effect of using the aura to exercise the body is also very general, and with the continuous increase of cultivation, the aura that can be called will also increase, even if you don't deliberately use the aura to exercise the body, the effect is much stronger than that of the qi refining period.
The simplest analogy to describe it will be clear.
For example, the physical strength of ordinary people is one, and after exercising through the Qi refining period method of the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter", the physical strength can be increased to one hundred in order to reach the minimum threshold for becoming a cultivator.
As the cultivation continues to improve, the strength of the body will slowly increase, and when the time comes, it will no longer be as fragile as a hundred, it may be ten thousand or even one hundred thousand, or even higher.
In fact, Wang Lung's current physical strength fully meets the requirements of cultivators, not only satisfying, but even exceeding a lot, but Wang Lung's body is all passively transformed, and he has not exercised himself.
The body's resistance to beating is at most a sandbag, only the life of being beaten, there is no strength to fight back, how to give full play to the best effect of one's body functions, you need to refine the body according to the law of "Casting and Cultivation".
If you want to become a true cultivator, you not only need a strong body, but also a lot of harsh conditions.
Through the introduction, Wang Lung finally understood the definition of the Qi Refining Period and the Perception Period, and understood that Wang Lung was very disappointed in himself, he had always been very proud of his perverted body, and felt that with this incorruptible body, he could easily step into the ranks of cultivators, but after really understanding it, he realized that he was very wrong.
The Qi refining period is divided into four stages, ten levels, the first, second, and third layers are the early stage, the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers are the middle stage, the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers are the late stage, and the tenth layer is the Great Perfection period, which is also called the bottleneck period.
Each stage has body-specific exercise requirements, and you can only go one step further if you meet the requirements.
Wang Long's cognition of cultivators is still in the description of online novels, he has always felt that cultivators are weak and weak, and their physical fitness is terrible, as long as their mana and means are strong.
As the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, and if you don't even have the capital, then your cultivation will be a chasm.
According to the description in the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter", it is actually very easy for Wang Lung to enter the early stage of qi refining.
The early stage of Qi refining happens to contain the first, second, and third layers, each layer has the requirements of each layer, and the goal of completing one layer can cultivate the next layer, but there is one of the most important prerequisites in this, that is, the body must be exercised with the aura of heaven and earth.
The first layer of the Qi refining period, exercise the skin and flesh, the qualification conditions are very simple, ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, the physical strength of this Wang Long has been satisfied, but the exercise method is not right, and it is also necessary to guide the aura to re-exercise.
In the second layer of the Qi refining period, the muscles and bones are exercised, and the qualified conditions are also very simple, and the kilograms are constant. This thousand catties constantly requires that the human skeleton must be able to withstand the attack of more than a thousand catties without breaking.
Thousands of catties are not too much of a problem for Wang Lung, his muscles and bones are already able to withstand higher intensity attacks, not only will they not break, but they can also rebound attacks, and even bend ninety degrees. Although it is good, it has not been refined by aura like skin and flesh.
The third layer of the Qi refining period, exercise the body method, this body method is mainly speed, and the qualification conditions are very difficult for Wang Lung.
Wang Lung does not have much advantage at this level, even with the light skill speed he originally showed during the filming of "Drifting Snow in the Rivers and Lakes", he could not reach the passing line, and he was even thousands of miles away from the passing line.
The qualifying condition for the exercise is 500 meters per second and 1,800 kilometers per hour, which is calculated according to the distance of the earth.
When Wang Lung first translated the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter", he saw the qualified conditions for this exercise, and he almost spurted a mouthful of blood out of his mouth at that time, if this condition was really reached, it would be faster than any vehicle on the earth.
The above are the requirements for the early stage of the Qi refining period, in fact, it is very simple to say, but it is very troublesome to implement, and it is not possible to cultivate across layers, it must be done in order layer by layer.
If the order is adjusted, then before you become a cultivator, you will already report to Hades.
The reason why you have to cultivate in order is actually very simple, if you don't get the skin, flesh, muscles and bones of the body to exercise, then the speed can't be exerted, and the impact after the speed is very strong, in case you hit a stone, a wall, or something like that, it will definitely break your brain.
After the early stage, there is the middle stage of qi refining, which is just for the fourth, fifth and sixth layers of the qi refining period, mainly to exercise the five internal organs and the brain.
The internal organs and the brain are very important organs of human beings, if you do not refine the internal organs and the brain, no matter how good the skin and flesh, muscles and bones are refined, it is also an ornament, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the hammer cannot be broken, but the aftershocks of the attack cannot withstand the internal organs, and it is easy to break or bleed the internal organs and concussion.
There are also certain standards for each layer in the middle stage of Qi refining, but these standards are nothing to Wang Long at all, because Han Yan has already refined his internal organs and brain I don't know how many times, although the strength is not as good as the skin, flesh, muscles and bones of the body, but there is no problem in meeting the qualification line of the middle stage of Qi refining.
Although it can meet the qualification line, Wang Lung's internal organs and brains, like muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, have not been refined by spiritual energy.
The middle stage is followed by the late stage, including the seven, eight, and nine layers of the Qi refining period, and the range of the body exercised is very small, only the ears, eyes, and nose.
Don't look at the scope of this period, but its corresponding relationship is extremely powerful, the ears correspond to hearing, the eyes correspond to vision, and the nose corresponds to smell.
The standard of this layer is very perverted for Wang Lung, and his requirements for himself are also to reach this level before the old urchin returns.
In the later stage of Qi refining, the seventh layer first refines the ears, requiring that the sensitivity of hearing must reach a certain distance and resolution, the distance is to be able to hear sounds one kilometer away, and the resolution is to be able to distinguish a variety of mixed sounds five hundred meters away, and can clearly distinguish several sounds.
The eighth layer refines the eyes, this layer is a bit related to the body method, because the eyes must be good under high-speed running, and it is easy to hit obstacles if the eyes are not good.
The qualification standard for exercising eyesight is very perverted, and Wang Lung felt speechless when he saw it, because he had to be able to distinguish how many legs a mosquito had from a hundred meters away.
There are many ways to assess eyesight in the miracle space, break off a few legs of the mosquito and let people see it and say it is correct, and the key point is that the mosquito does not stop there, the other party is flying.
Wang Lung made a visual analogy of refining ears and refining eyes, that is, 'clairvoyance and ears'.
Wang Lung was not yet fully able to understand the standard of passing the nose exercise on the ninth floor, because he was told that he needed to be locked in a closed room full of various smells and completely distinguish all the smells in it before he could qualify.
There is only one level of the Great Perfection during the Qi Refining Period, and this level only exercises the body meridians.
Everyone's meridian width is different, and during the Qi refining period, it takes very little physical exercise by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the meridian width is enough to meet the needs, but if you want to become a cultivator, this meridian width is not enough, not only the width, but also the toughness.
Heaven and earth aura runs through the meridians, and the width and toughness of the meridians determine the effect of absorbing aura.
As long as the species that can cultivate in the Saint Source system have meridians, not all species are inherently smooth, and the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period is to open up the meridians of the whole body.
How wide the meridians are depends on the use of aura to exercise them, the width of the meridians of each species is different but there is also a fixed width, you must make full use of the aura of heaven and earth to expand the width of your own meridians to the maximum, but you can't break the meridians.
For ordinary people who have not cultivated the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter", the width of the meridians is fixed, only unobstructed and blocked, even if there are impurities inside the usual meridians, and the width is uneven.
Use the aura to open up the blocked meridians and clean up the garbage in the meridians, so that the meridian system of the whole body forms a complete cycle.
After completing the tempering of the body during the Qi Refining Period, you will begin to comprehend the Laws, and as long as you perceive any of the Seven Laws, you will be able to break through the Qi Refining Period and enter the Perception Period.
The enlightenment period is divided into four stages: before, during, and after and Dzogchen, and there are no longer ten layers.
The early stage of perception needs to be recognized by the two rules in order to break through the early stage and enter the middle stage, so the early stage of perception is also called the rule recognition period.
Regardless of the two rules, at least one of time and space is complete.
In order to distinguish the seven rules, the Divine Source system divides them into two parts, with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth as the five elements, and time and space as the laws.
Of the two rules that were perceived in the early stage of comprehension, the minimum threshold was one of five elements and one law, and for civilians who wanted to become true cultivators, the period of comprehension was a great watershed.
Many commoners can perceive all the rules of the Five Elements, but they have no perception of the two laws, and if they can't perceive either of the two laws of time or space, they will be stagnant for the rest of their lives, and they will never be able to become true cultivators.
There is a minimum threshold and the highest level in the early stage of perception.
The minimum threshold is only one of the five elements and one law, if there is no other rule to understand, then this life will no longer be recognized by other rules, this minimum threshold has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that he is single-minded and his cultivation speed is fast, but the disadvantage is that he is easily restrained and has few means of attack.
The highest level is to perceive all the seven rules, but this highest level has not appeared in the Saint Source System for a long time, if it can really be recognized by the seven rules, it may not be a good thing, its benefits and disadvantages are just the opposite of the lowest threshold.
Whether it is the lowest threshold or the highest level, the advantages and disadvantages can only be manifested after becoming a true cultivator.
When you reach the minimum threshold, you can break through from the early stage of perception to the middle stage of understanding.
The middle stage of perception is also called the gestation period, deeply understand the rules of perception, understand its operation rules, simulate its operation mode, slowly drive the rules, and when you can use the perceived rules, you can break through into the later stage of perception.
The later stage of perception is also called the operation period, and the control rules are flexibly mastered, such as arm command, and the five elements and laws are initially integrated through the familiarity and control of the rules.
If you perceive the rules of gold and the laws of space, then you must fuse gold and space together to form a space of gold.
The initial integration of the rules can break through to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Period.
The Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Period is the vane of the distinction between cultivators and commoners, and if you break through the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Period, you can become a cultivator, and if you can't break through, you are still just a commoner.
There are two things to do in the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Period, and only when the passing line is reached can there be a slight possibility of a breakthrough.
The first thing is to completely integrate the rules perceived, the minimum threshold may be much easier, but the perception of more than three rules is very difficult, and it must be integrated in pairs, the integration of the five elements and the law.
The second thing is the spiritual power reserve, the common people can only borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot store the spiritual energy in the body and convert it into spiritual power.
Because there are many races in the Holy Source system, and the body structure is different, the concentration of spiritual power reserves is also different.
The concentration of the spiritual power reserve of the human race is the dantian, and in addition to the concentration place, the meridians can also store spiritual energy.
If the dantian is a storehouse of spiritual power reserves, then the meridians are the path to the storehouse.
If you can fuse all the rules you perceive and complete the minimum standard of spiritual power reserves, then you can try to break through the ranks of cultivators.
A breakthrough may not be able to directly become a cultivator, many of them have failed many times, and even if they fail, it will not have much impact, that is, physical prostration.
There is no limit to the number of breakouts, and there is no limit to the time, as long as you can break through at any time before you die.
Wang Lung already knew what to do in the Dao, and knew the conditions for breaking through each layer of the Dao, and what he was facing now was to feel the aura of heaven and earth and guide the aura to exercise physically, but he didn't know what the aura was.
