Chapter 4: Introduction to Practice

Sitting in front of the stone table, Lin Chen kept looking at the book in his hand, his brows furrowed from time to time.

"Introduction to Practice" is a very common book in the spiritual world, and it cannot help but circulate among practitioners, and it can also be seen everywhere in the mortal world.

Although it is not a method of cultivation, let alone any secrets, the most precious of them is the method of guidance that can guide ordinary people on the path to heaven.

The history of the existence of the "Introduction to Spiritual Practice" in the entire history of the spiritual world has long been unscrupulous, but there is no doubt that it has survived for a long time in the long stream of history, and with the addition and improvement of countless predecessors, the book has already reached the point of impeccable.

The reason why it can be widely circulated among the lower levels of the cultivation world is that the book simply explains the various cultivation processes that a person needs to go through at the beginning of cultivation, which is an indispensable basic common sense for every person who has just entered the cultivation world.

"Introduction to Practice" not only points out how to step into the path of cultivation from an ordinary person, but also has various guidance methods for ordinary people from refining their bodies to absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their own bodies.

Therefore, the Introduction to Spiritual Practice is a must-have for every low-level cultivator.

A person's human body will gradually age with the passage of time, so that the body function will gradually decline, especially when the body is seriously injured, the life span of the person itself will become shorter, and there is a saying that mortals have a hundred years.

Cultivation is to open up the acupoints and meridians that should be gradually blocked with one's own growth, nourish them, and achieve the best state of the human body itself, and finally return to the state of blending with heaven and earth when they were infants.

Therefore, at the beginning of cultivation, it is necessary to open up the contact bridge between one's own body and the outside world, and stimulate the skin on the surface of the body through various means and then meditate, so as to sense the existence of heaven and earth aura, which is the first step, that is, forging the body.

After forging the body, it is time to induce qi into the body.

Qi is the aura of heaven and earth, which is guided and absorbed into the body through some auxiliary means, and under the washing of the aura of heaven and earth on its own flesh, all kinds of impurities accumulated in the flesh and blood are eliminated, and then the origin is traced back to the source.

Because people are born with a little bit of origin qi formed by the integration of water and milk in the mother's body, the sympathy of heaven and earth, but because it is concentrated in the hole, and misses the best time point, it is closed in the hole, so that it cannot be used until old age.

Therefore, the third step of cultivation is to sense the major points in the body that are already in a state of blockage, and by opening the points, the original qi hidden in them spreads into the body and nourishes the body.

The fourth step is to warm and expand the major points that have been reopened, and then temporarily incorporate the aura of heaven and earth that is free between heaven and earth, so that it can be used by me and is used to absorb qi.

The fifth step is to use the aura of heaven and earth contained in the acupoints as a medium to become a bridge connecting the outside world, with the help of the free aura of heaven and earth, the meridians in the body are opened, and a running cycle is formed between the major acupoints and the meridians, which is the opening of the pulse.

The sixth step is the last step in the "Introduction to Practice", that is, to compress, refine and condense the aura of heaven and earth stored in the acupoints and meridians, so that it can be further advanced in both form and quality, and then used to break through the barrier between the dantian and heaven and earth, so as to truly accept the aura of heaven and earth for my use.

This is the state of the beginning of the practice recorded and discussed in the "Introduction to Practice".

Although it only talks about how to open the dantian, it also brings hope to countless people in the world.

As for how to go on the rest of the cultivation path after opening the dantian and the key to one's own cultivation, it is not given in the book, and there is no trace left.

Even so, among all living beings in the world, there are always people who will benefit from the initial guidance of the "Introduction to Spiritual Practice" for a lifetime, and will leap from one of the many sentient beings to the overlord of the dominant side, or become a powerful existence that looks down on the world.

In the same way, there will be people who will be guided to step into the path of cultivation and become one of the practitioners, but who will never reach the heights recorded in this book in their lifetime.

But after all, there are only a few people in the world who have the help of heaven and extraordinary talents, and more people will only be nameless, struggling on the path of cultivation, and eventually become a pile of bones on the road of cultivation with unwillingness.

Life is short, and if you don't enter cultivation, it's just a hundred years in a hurry. As soon as you enter the cultivation, you are competing with others for the first place, fighting for your life with the sky, and if you are not careful, you will never recover, and your body will die.

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh, and then fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, the injuries on his body have healed by chance, although the dantian has been re-blocked for some reasons, and it is more difficult to break through the barrier between heaven and earth and the dantian, but Lin Chen has a method in his hand to reopen the dantian, otherwise, I am afraid that he will also become a pile of white bones on the path of cultivation.

Then, the next step for me now is to try to restore my cultivation at the same time, but also to take my cultivation further, after all, my enemies will not wait for me in the same place, so at least I must be promoted to the point where I can compete with my enemies.

"Brother Lin Chen, are you really a cultivator? So is it true that the immortals flying in the sky are mentioned in the book?"

Lin Chen was pulled back from his contemplation by Chen Ping's voice, and said to Chen Ping with a smile.

"Brother Lin Chen has never seen an immortal who can fly in the sky."

"Brother Lin Chen is really a cultivator, can you teach me how to practice?"

Chen Ping's face was full of hope.

Thinking about the departure of my parents, coupled with the strange things I have seen over the years, I am afraid that I have already developed a strong interest in cultivation.

It's just that there is no one who can guide him, and his grandfather won't let him come into contact, so he will suppress it in his heart.

"You're still young and don't understand the dangers, so after a few years, you can start practicing again."

Chen Ping was not allowed to speak, and after touching Chen Ping's little head, Lin Chen turned his head to look at Chen Yan in the bookstore.

At this moment, Chen Yan also closed the book in his hand, his little face was full of doubts, and he looked at Lin Chen.

"Little Swallow, come here, if you don't understand, you can ask me"

"Brother Lin Chen, there is a herb in the book, called snake blood flower, why don't you pick it by the roots when you pick it?"

"Snake blood flower is a negative medicinal herb, this herb only grows on the edge of the nest of poisonous snakes, and is formed by poisonous snakes that are eroded and mutated by poison in the process of preying on other poisons."

"Over time, its roots will absorb the poison around the nest to form a highly toxic polymer, while other non-toxic medicinal essences will coalesce on the flowers."

"So you can't dig up the roots together when picking, not only because the roots are highly poisonous, but also because the poisonous snakes in the nest will not pay attention to you picking flowers, but if you dig up the whole plant, the poisonous snakes will fight with you."

"Why is this", Chen Yan's doubts deepened.

"Come to think of it, its roots are highly poisonous, and what do poisonous snakes like the most?"

Lin Chen was slowly seductive.

"I see, those poisons are highly poisonous to us, but they are great tonics for poisonous snakes."

"That is to say, the effect of medicinal herbs is relative, and the effect on patients with different conditions is also different."

"Little Swallow is so smart, as a reward, come, this is for you"

As he spoke, he took out two books in front of the two children, handed them to them, and sent them home.
