The snake demon said again, "Okay, now that you understand what you want to practice for, then next, I will tell you about the essence of cultivation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The snake demon paused slightly, and then said: "Heaven and earth begin with the Tao, and the Tao appears from nothingness and turns into one qi, and this qi is the qi of mixed yuan."

Heaven and earth, as well as all things, are born of the chaotic qi of the manifestation of a great avenue of freedom. Therefore, this qi is the innate origin, the foundation of all things, the essence of heaven and earth, and the soul of all things.

Therefore, all living beings are born with this qi, and after all living beings are born into this world, they will continuously consume the innate origin qi in the body, and daily thinking and labor will accelerate the consumption of this origin qi.

And with the continuous consumption of the innate origin qi, all living beings will continue to weaken and decay, and once this essence in the body is exhausted, all living beings will also die.

At the same time, because all things in heaven and earth are transformed by the innate origin qi, this origin qi is pervasive between heaven and earth and within all things, and flowers and plants can supplement a certain amount of this essence of heaven and earth from the outside world by absorbing the light of the sun and the moon, and birds, beasts, insects and fish, including human beings through eating and breathing.

Therefore, ordinary flesh-and-blood creatures need to eat food and breathe as long as they don't die, and if they don't eat or breathe, they will die.

In the same way, if all living beings want to live longer, they must try to minimize the loss of this innate origin qi, and at the same time, find a way to replenish some innate origin essence qi into the body.

However, if we only eat and breathe simply, the essence energy that we absorb and replenish from the outside world is very small, far less than the essence energy we consume, even if you keep eating and drinking, and never stop breathing, you will still grow old, weaken, and die.

Through some special methods, replenishing a large amount of heaven and earth essence can slow down one's own aging, and even when the replenished heaven and earth essence exceeds the essence consumed by oneself, it can be immortal, and it can also obtain more powerful power.

Therefore, in order to live longer, in order to obtain more powerful power, since the beginning of the world, there have been people constantly trying, and then seeking all kinds of ways to absorb this essence of heaven and earth from the outside world faster and more, and supplement it to themselves, these are all kinds of exercises.

And learning to cultivate these means, and using these means to replenish a large amount of innate origin qi, to gain a longer lifespan and gain stronger strength, is cultivation.

Therefore, if this practice is to go to the root, it is nothing more than gathering the essence of heaven and earth in one's own body, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, and allowing oneself to gain the same longevity and great power as heaven and earth.

Because these essences of heaven and earth exist in a gaseous state, cultivation is the cultivation of innate origin qi, and in this way, monks are also called qi refiners. ”

"So that's what happened!" Yang Jian nodded.

At the same time, Yang Jian couldn't help but admire this snake demon a little in his heart, no matter what, her cultivation theory was extremely solid.

The snake demon paused slightly, allowing Yang Jian to digest what he had just said, and then continued to speak: "After talking about the essence of cultivation, then I will talk to the little brother about the specific cultivation."

You must know that there are too many things in the world, even the same things are also different, and the different things contain the origin qi of heaven and earth or the essence of heaven and earth, which is naturally different, and this difference is mainly reflected in two aspects: quantity and quality.

The amount of heaven and earth essence contained in the body of ordinary herbs and trees is extremely rare, and it is definitely not as much as the essence of heaven and earth contained in the body of those herbivorous birds and beasts, and the essence of heaven and earth in the body of ordinary herbivore birds and beasts is definitely not as much as the essence of heaven and earth in the body of those carnivorous birds and beasts, and the essence of heaven and earth in the body of ordinary carnivores is not as much as the essence of heaven and earth in the body of various demon birds and monsters.

However, if it is pure, the essence contained in ordinary plants and trees is the purest, and the essence of heaven and earth in the bodies of those carnivorous birds and beasts is the most impure.

As for the demon beasts, it is a little special, it depends on whether these demon birds and monsters will refine and refute the impurities, leaving the essence, if not, the essence of heaven and earth in their bodies will be more impure than the essence in the bodies of carnivorous animals, if they master the means of refining their own essence, the essence in their bodies is even purer than that in the bodies of plants and trees.

When we practice, it is natural that the more heaven and earth essence we absorb into the body, the better, but we are like a container, and the essence of heaven and earth that can be contained is limited after all, so it is particularly important to absorb and store the essence of heaven and earth into the body whether it is pure.

The amount of essence in the outside world is incomparable, not comparable to any other object, and it is also the most refined, so being able to absorb a large amount of the essence wandering in the world from the outside world is naturally the best choice for cultivation.

It's just that flesh-and-blood beings like us, although they were innate at the beginning of their incarnation, they could absorb the essence of heaven and earth unimpeded, but because they didn't understand the method of absorption, they missed the opportunity.

After taking me to live in this world, it is inevitable that I will be polluted by some turbid qi at every moment, gradually blocking my own way, blocking my own subtlety, and even due to strain injuries, etc., the meridians will be damaged and the road will be cut off.

Therefore, gradually, living beings can no longer directly absorb all kinds of heaven and earth essences from the outside world, but can only absorb the many inferior heaven and earth essences from food.

Therefore, at the beginning of cultivation, flesh-and-blood beings like us must first absorb a large amount of the essence in the refined food, and use a special method to turn these essences into a stream of true qi.

Then, carry this true qi to all parts of the body according to one's own wishes, make up for one's own omissions, open up the blocked meridians, and continue the severed meridians, so that they can reconnect with the outside world, and can directly absorb the purest essence of heaven and earth from the outside world, and continue to cultivate.

This process is also known as foundation building.

Because of the different individuals, the length of time for different creatures to build a foundation is also different, if the age is a little younger, the loss of their own origin is small, the damage is small, and the omission is less, it is naturally faster, and maybe the foundation can be successfully built in one day.

If you are a little older, have a lot of omissions, and have a large loss of origin, it will naturally be more difficult to make up for it, and it will take a long time, and you belong to this category, little brother. ”

As soon as Yang Jian thought about the world before he crossed over, and thought about the air, food, and water in that world, he knew that compared to the creatures in this world, his meridians must have been blocked, and then he thought about his age, but it was not difficult to understand the words of this snake demon, and he didn't think that the snake demon was belittling him.
