After a long conversation with the old man and some introductory exercises of the Void Cloud Technique, Su Mai officially began his own cultivation path.

Mortal cultivation is an act against the heavens, and it is not easy to communicate with heaven and earth with the mortal womb of the flesh.

For thousands of years, how many people have intended to transcend reincarnation, ascend to the immortal realm, and embark on this path of cultivation.

However, the big waves sweep the sand, and the one who can really achieve something is only one in ten thousand.

And most of them have given up before they have even started, and the reason for this is only the difference in qualifications that the cultivation world values the most.

The aura of heaven and earth, full of the world, is everywhere, but there is no trace, to introduce this antelope-like aura into the body, in addition to chance, and the important thing is the physique and bones.

If the qualifications are extremely high and the qi veins in the body are smooth, you can sense the qi of heaven and earth in a very short time, and you can comprehend it in a few months, or a few years.

Those with low qualifications, with mediocre pulses and poor blood flow, may not be able to achieve success in their lives.

This is the reason why the various factions in the cultivation realm must go through the Qi Technique when teaching apprentices, and they will not accept them unless they have certain qualifications.

After all, according to common sense, if you don't have a foundation for cultivation, no amount of effort will be in vain.

And at this moment, when Su Mai stepped into the first step of cultivation, he also encountered the confusion common to most people.

This Void Cloud Recipe is an immortal book handed down by the Patriarch of Konoha, and it is a Taoist innate secret technique.

Compared with ordinary practice, it is as deep as the sea, and likewise, its practice is much more difficult.

The book begins with:

Xuyun Immortal Jue, passed on to the ancients, asked in heaven and earth, into the world's miracles, but the Tao gives birth to all things, but also from all things, want to become immortal Tao, the need for nature, can not be forced, cautious and cautious.

After that, there is the method of cultivation, which teaches people how to guide the flow of their own qi veins, how to open up the breath, intersect with the aura of heaven and earth, and then guide it into the body for my use.

Su Mai once practiced the method of keeping out the cold with his son, and he was quite familiar with the way of the meridians.

Then according to the law, the breath spread in the meridians in the body was slowly led to the dantian, condensed into one, and said that the hundred rivers returned to the sea, and the qi sank into the dantian.

Then, from top to top, spread out the key points in turn, concentrate and calm the qi, and breathe and exhale according to the words in the book to sense the qi of heaven and earth.

For such a week, Su Mai only felt a pain all over his body, as if he had emptied his body, but the qi of heaven and earth seemed to exist at all, and he didn't feel anything.

However, this is also expected, if the qi of heaven and earth is so easy to sense, it can be achieved at one time, unless it is a genius who meets once in a thousand years, and is born for the cultivation of truth.

But it can't be him, otherwise he would have been chosen by the sect master a long time ago, how could he have fallen to this.

After about half an hour, Su Mai felt that the soreness in his body had eased slightly, and he came again.

As a result, as in the first attempt, he was not in a hurry, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Su Mai got up.

Yesterday, when the dry heart Taoist gave him the Void Cloud Formula, he mentioned that the plan of the day, the most abundant aura was at the turn of Yin Mao.

At this time, it was the alternation of day and night, and the qi between heaven and earth was vigorous, which was the most convenient to sense, and Su Mai remembered it in his heart and woke up early.

Taking a few deep breaths, Su Mai acted in anticipation according to the law, but the result was still disappointing.

The aura still hadn't sensed, and the aura that had just gathered in the dantian had disappeared after a while, leaving only the same soreness as yesterday.

Gritting his teeth, Su Mai tried again.

This time, his movements were even slower, and his expression was more focused, sitting upright on the bed, motionless like a clay statue.

It took nearly an hour, and by the time he opened his eyes, somewhat dejectedly, it was already dawn.

Early in the morning, the dry heart Taoist prepared white porridge with vegetables and beckoned Su to eat.

When he saw his tired face, he asked, "How, can you have a sense?"

Su Mai shook his head, as if he couldn't even speak.

Ku Xin motioned for him to sit down, patted him on the shoulder, and said:

"Don't worry, this aura is the foundation of cultivation, it can't be achieved overnight, you are so tired, but how much have you cultivated?"

When Su Mai heard this, he told the Dry Heart Daoist about yesterday's and this morning's cultivation.

After hearing this, he said:

"The introduction of this void cloud trick is very difficult, you have an average physique, you are the first to do it, soreness is inevitable, you can do it once in the morning and evening in the future, it is not advisable to force it, follow this, within a few months, you should get something. ”

Su Mai was very hungry at the moment, and he didn't care about anything else, and after drinking two large bowls quickly, he felt much better, so he said to Kuxin:

"Master, why is it taking months?"

"Attracting the spirit into the body, there is no time to say, it depends on your own state, your first practice, although you have a certain qualification, but not the best material, if you want to open the blood of the whole body, to reach the ethereal realm, you must keep trying, and the mortal body is limited, excessive exhaustion is counterproductive, so morning and evening are the most suitable. ”

Su Mai suddenly realized, no wonder Xuyun Jue mentioned at the beginning of the chapter that "seek nature, do not force it".

The aura of this heaven and earth can only be sensed when the body is at its best, and my whole body is already unwell after cultivating once, and it seems that it is useless to practice again.

That night, Su Mai followed what the dry heart Taoist said, step by step, and rested after doing it once.

After that, once in the morning and once in the evening, he constantly sensed the ethereal qi of heaven and earth.

And so on, three months passed.

Early in the morning, Su Mai emptied himself as usual, closed his eyes and waited.

At first, there was no reaction, but gradually, Su Mai only felt that his mind was clear, and a vague breath slowly flowed from the Baihui acupoint above his head.

Su Mai's mind moved, and when he was about to capture it, he had disappeared without a trace.

The surroundings were quiet, and the breath just now was like a flash of inspiration, and it disappeared.

Reiki, it must be Reiki.

Su Mai was overjoyed in his heart, this was the first time since he had cultivated that he had sensed the qi of heaven and earth.

Although it was only for a moment, that trace of clarity was like a person who had been walking in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw the light, which was already exciting.

Screaming and rushing out of the room, Su Mai was nervous and excited at this moment.

The dry heart Taoist was standing at the mouth of the well in the courtyard, and when he saw him rushing out, he didn't react, and said calmly:

"Such a gaffe, but something has been gained?".

Su Mai nodded desperately, and said after a while:

"Master, I feel it, I really feel it."

"How do you feel?" The Dry Heart Daoist asked.

"Like a stream of water, it poured in slowly from the top of my head, and it disappeared in a flash. ”

After Su Mai finished speaking, he was a little frustrated.

"If the heart is uneven and the qi is not smooth, it will naturally disappear. ”

The dry heart seemed to have expected it, and then said:

"This innate qi is fluctuating, you must be as calm as water, there is nothing outside the body to communicate with it, you feel it for the first time, it will be difficult to calm down, and this aura will naturally disappear."

I see, Su Mai was a little relieved.

It's not that there is a problem with cultivation, it's that I'm too excited, so my breath gets out of control, which leads to the failure of spiritual induction.

After figuring out the reason, Su Mai made up his mind and had more expectations for the next cultivation, according to what the master said, it should be fine.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the fourth day, Su Mai had once again successfully sensed the familiar and unfamiliar aura.

At first, it was like a continuous spring rain, with wisps flowing in from the top of the head, and in a short time, they poured into all parts of the body like a trickle.

Su Mai only felt that his body and mind were comfortable, and he was indescribably relaxed and comfortable, just like a person who had been in drought for a long time, suddenly encountered a sweet frost, and drank it heartily.

After allowing this aura to wander in his body for a week, Su Mai carefully guided it to the dantian according to the method taught by the Void Cloud Jue, hoping to condense into one qi and turn into its own true element.

Unexpectedly, after the joy, an accident appeared.

According to the dry heart Taoist said, this aura enters the body, travels all over the body, and can lead it to the dantian for use, and after Su Mai condensed the aura, this magical innate qi did not stay in it, it was indeed scattered into a hundred remains, and finally disappeared.

After that, no matter how hard Su Mai tried, no trace could be found.

Loss, frustration and even heartache.

Su Mai's mood at the moment was extremely bad, but he was not desperate, maybe the master still had a way.

Thinking of this, Su Mai Huoran got up, opened the door and ran towards the courtyard.

As soon as he saw the dry heart, Su Mai hurriedly threw out his confusion.

The Dry Heart Daoist was also a little confused at the moment, thought for a moment, and said with a solemn face:

"Such a situation, as a teacher has never encountered, it is said that this aura into the body, as long as it can be led to the dantian, with my Void Cloud Secret Method, it can be refined, and then turned into its own essence, for thousands of years, I have never heard of it disappearing on its own."

After speaking, he stretched out his right palm and gently placed it on the top of Su Mai's head, Su Mai only felt a warm current enter from the top of his head, and it disappeared in a moment after passing through Baihui to the dantian.

"It's strange, there is nothing in your dantian, not only does the innate qi not remain, but you can't even sense the breath in your own body, but the veins in your whole body are a little thicker than before."

The Dry Heart Daoist also fell into confusion, this strange thing that the Iron Sword Sect had not encountered for thousands of years had happened to his only apprentice.

"Dantian, the essence of the whole body is the foundation of cultivating true qi, if there is no thing, how can you practice?"

Dry heart stroked his beard and sighed, silent in thought, and his wrinkled face looked more solemn.

Seeing Master in such a situation, Su Mai felt a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that his own physique was not suitable for cultivation?

Just when he was nervous, the dry-hearted Taoist came back to his senses and said to him:

"The aura of heaven and earth is already difficult to fathom, and it is not surprising that you encounter this situation, try a few more times, and you may be able to turn around."

Su Mai could hear that the master was comforting him, and sighed secretly in his heart, for the sake of today's plan, this is the only way.

If it really didn't work, he left the Iron Sword Gate and went to find Wu You.

But the world is so big, where to look?
