Chapter 17: Qi Refining Technique

The fat senior brother glanced Zhang Feiyang up and down, and was about to continue to ask, when a female senior sister who was taller than him walked in the distance.

The female senior sister glanced at Zhang Feiyang and greeted her with a smile.

Although there was nothing, she walked over and disappeared behind a wooden house, but it was this smile that fell in the eyes of the fat brother, and it became evidence to prove that Zhang Feiyang's words were true.

After withdrawing his gaze from the female senior sister, and looking at Zhang Feiyang again, the fat senior brother laughed, didn't ask any more questions, told him not to be careless in the future, and left.

Zhang Feiyang bowed his head respectfully and thanked him, watching the fat senior brother disappear at the end of his sight, and then pushed open the door of the house and entered Xiang Dong's wooden house, looking for what he needed.

Although the "Qi Refining Technique" is only a practice for cultivation in the early stage of the Qi refining period, it is not complete, but compared with the magic weapon, it is also quite precious, and even for an outside disciple like Zhang Feiyang who has never seen it, the value is far more than the magic weapon.

Something like this would never be casually placed on a table or in a box.

Because, in this case, the probability of theft is too great.

Zhang Feiyang walked around Xiang Dong's room, checked under the table, under the bed, as well as the wardrobe and all the places where things could be hidden, and still couldn't see the shadow of "Qi Refining Technique", which can be seen.

If Xiang Dong really didn't keep the "Qi Refining Technique" on his body, then there were only two possibilities left.

Or, Xiang Dong burned this exercise, so that he didn't have to worry about being stolen by others.

But Zhang Feiyang didn't think Xiang Dong would do this.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and people's memory will always make mistakes, in case there is something wrong when cultivating, and there is no original exercise, how to correct the error?

If you can't correct your mistakes, isn't there a danger that the more you practice, the more you make mistakes, and you will go crazy?

Even if it's not so serious, there is a certain probability that you will train yourself to become a waste.

This is a big blow to anyone who wants to cultivate to become an immortal.

Then there is only one last possibility.

The exercises must still be hidden in the house, but they are not visible to the naked eye, they should be in some dark compartment, so that they are relatively safe enough.

But in this way, it also posed a huge problem to Zhang Feiyang.

Where will Xiang Dong hide?

He is not Xiang Dong, how do he know what Xiang Dong had in mind when he was hiding the exercises?

Zhang Feiyang held up his chin, his eyebrows were locked, walked slowly around a wooden table in the living room, and began to think: "Since this exercise is so precious, if you want to avoid attracting the attention of others, it is naturally best to hide it in the most inconspicuous place." For example, in a cloth bag where you put garbage. ”

He nodded slightly, walked to the corner, let go of a bag full of garbage, and poured out the contents, but there was nothing related to the exercises, all kinds of bad weapons, torn clothes, and some broken purple clay pots and the like.

Zhang Feiyang shook his head, repacked the garbage, and continued to walk around in a circle, observing indoors: "Could it be that I think too much? Xiang Dong relied on his own strength and his high status in the Alchemy Department. He didn't worry that the exercises would be stolen by people at all, so he always hid them in the most conspicuous place?"

His gaze suddenly stopped on a delicate box lying horizontally by the wall.

This box is half an arm long, a palm width, carved with a dragon and a phoenix, every day on the edge of the box, there is a gold wire inlay, it looks extremely exquisite, as if it is the work of a master craftsman.

On the side facing Zhang Feiyang, two big characters "Heartbreaking" were also written in small seals, which were the boxes originally used to store the magic weapon Heart-Destroying Dagger.

Although Zhang Feiyang didn't recognize those two words, he took off the box, opened it and saw that there was a dagger-shaped groove inside, which looked exactly the same as the magic weapon Heartbreaker, and he still recognized it at a glance.

Unfortunately, there was nothing in it other than that, it turned out to be just an empty box.

This made Zhang Feiyang wonder.

After he put the box back, he continued to pace slowly in circles, frowning and pondering: "Strange. It's weird. I didn't hide it in the garbage, and I didn't put it in the most prominent place. Where can I put it? Am I wrong? Did Xiang Dong really take the cultivation exercises with him?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little deflated, stopped, sighed, and the disappointment on his face was overflowing.

But after thinking about it for a while, he frowned again, walked in a circle around the wooden table, and shook his head to overturn the previous conclusion: "No. After all, the Qi Refining Technique was a very precious thing, and the Dao robes of the outer disciples were the same as the clothes of mortals, without any defensive ability. It's completely incomparable to the red vest I made myself.

In this case, if Yi Yidong encounters an opponent, or has a conflict with someone, and there is a fight, it will easily cause the "Qi Refining Technique" to be damaged. Once it is broken, then the exercise is also destroyed. Xiang Dong is so smart and cautious, in order to kill me, he deliberately deceives me, he will never be such a reckless person. He must have been hiding somewhere more unexpected. ”

Zhang Feiyang nodded, as if he had captured some key information, and quickened his pace, and his gloomy eyes gradually lit up: "That's right." He must have hidden the Qi Refining Technique somewhere between the most obvious and the least conspicuous of these two places. Because this is the only thing that really the least likely thing for a thief to think of. ”

At this time, the situation of Xiang Dong inviting him to drink tea during the day yesterday appeared in Zhang Feiyang's mind.

He carefully recalled every detail of that time, suddenly turned his head, stared at a small wooden jar in the shape of a bucket for tea leaves on the wall, strode forward, took down the jar, and opened it.

I saw that it was turquoise, filled with fragrant tea leaves, and other than that, there was nothing.

Zhang Feiyang was stunned for a moment, and the confidence and hope that had just surged in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He also thought that there would be a book stuffed in the tea can, so it would be explained, but he didn't expect it, but he guessed wrong.

This time, Zhang Feiyang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and under the big blow, his hands were loosened, and the tea pot popped, making a soft sound, and fell to the ground, scattering all the tea leaves inside.

Zhang Feiyang squatted down and hurriedly cleaned up the tea.

At this moment, he noticed that the bottom of the tea jar was partially exposed, and in the area near the bottom, something resembling a piece of paper appeared inside.

Curious, Zhang Feiyang reached out and took out the piece of paper, and found that it was a piece of paper that had been folded seven or eight times.

He carefully opened the piece of paper, and only then did he take a look, and the three square characters instantly attracted all attention.

"Qi refining technique. It's really a qi refining technique! I see. I understand. ”

In fact, there are only three words on this piece of paper, "Qi Refining Technique", which is not so much a cultivation exercise, but more like the cover of this exercise, and there is no other information available other than this.

Zhang Feiyang is still happy like a child.

Because, with this piece of paper, it is equivalent to having an accurate direction.

This kind of paper is like a light in the darkness, leading Zhang Feiyang to the right path, instead of continuing to guide on the wrong path without hope.

Sure enough, after Zhang Feiyang stopped laughing, he continued to concoct the same method just now, opened the rest of the tea cans, and as soon as he poured out the tea leaves inside, a piece of the same paper was revealed.

Zhang Feiyang tried more than a dozen times like this, and found a total of eight pieces of paper on his mobile phone, and then opened the pieces of paper and spliced them together in an accurate order, just restoring a complete volume of how to cultivate exercises at the beginning of the Qi refining period.

On the way back to the laundry department, Zhang Feiyang's whole person was fluttering, jumping and jumping, happy like a child.

But as soon as he returned to the laundry department, he restrained all his smiles again, returned to Sister Qiao's side expressionlessly, learned to make clothes, and changed back to his original taciturn, as if he was a stuffy gourd.

Zhou Zhou Xian and the senior sisters around him didn't know why he came so late, let alone what he did yesterday, so they all came over curiously, squeezed their eyebrows at him, and asked this and that.

Zhang Feiyang is all simple and perfunctory.

In the afternoon, when he saw that Zhang Feiyang had finished washing a large basin of clothes and began to clean the second basin, he still didn't reveal the meaning of the tone, Zhou Zhou Xian glanced at him angrily and said, "Senior Brother Zhang." What the hell did you do yesterday? Why did you come back so late? And where did you go early this morning? I haven't found you. ”

Zhang Feiyang pretended to be stupid, naturally it was impossible to tell him the truth.

Zhou Zhou Xian asked a few times, but when he saw that he couldn't deceive him, he naturally lost interest in continuing, picked up a stone, and started playing again.

Zhang Feiyang was not in the mood to continue chatting with him.

When he couldn't cultivate before, maybe there was still plenty of time, but now that he can finally cultivate, he is more excited and anxious than anyone else.

He was the first to rush back to finish his meal, and he was the first to leave the laundry after dinner.

Seeing that he was pushing the garbage collection cart, looking like he was walking fast, as if he was not going to the sixth department to collect garbage, but to receive the reward, Zhou Zhou Xian shook his head, I really didn't understand what this Senior Brother Zhang thought, why did he have such a soft spot for taking out garbage.

In order not to let others see his abnormality, Zhang Feiyang, as usual, went to the sixth department to collect garbage, and then sent the garbage out of the mountain gate.

After all the past work was completed, he carefully took out the "Qi Refining Technique" from his arms, and looked at it by the moonlight.

"The so-called Qi refining period means that the aura in the human body must be cultivated. Everyone has an aura. For man is the chief of all souls. Even beasts have aura, how can people not have it, only more aura. Therefore, if you want to step into the Qi refining period and become an immortal cultivator, you must first channel your aura in a suitable way......

Zhang Feiyang held the exercises in his hand, read them carefully, and when he found something he didn't understand, he repeated it more and more, striving to understand every point.

After reading the first part of the exercise, he put down the exercise, meditated on his knees excitedly, and tried to cultivate, first focusing his attention on a big tree in front of him, and then shifting his attention from the big tree to his eyes, and then directing his attention to his heart.

Until the moonlight in front of him is like water, beautiful, and he is not seen, the breeze on his face is blowing, cool and comfortable, and he has no feeling, and there are voices in his ears one after another, and he does not hear it, all his spirit is only focused on the heart, and he has forgotten who he is, and suddenly, a beating meat ball appeared in Zhang Feiyang's mind.

He was startled, stood up suddenly, as if he had hit a ghost, and gasped again and again, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't know what was happening.

After a while, he calmed down again, and then recalled the meat ball he had just seen in his mind, but Zhang Feiyang was not surprised, and quickly sat down again, and continued to meditate and practice.

It turned out that the meat ball that was beating violently just now was his heart, and in order to cultivate to the early stage of the Qi refining period, the most important thing to completely promote from a mortal to an immortal cultivator was to channel his aura.

At the beginning of the Qi refining period, the aura can only exist in the body, in a loose state, if it can be successfully channeled, it can easily let the cultivator himself see the situation inside his body.

If you can see everything inside your body through aura, then you can be regarded as half an immortal cultivator. This ability is called inner vision by monks at the beginning of the Qi refining period.

Zhang Feiyang was suddenly so excited, precisely because he realized that he had successfully channeled a little bit of aura and saw his heart.
