Chapter 10 The Early Stage of Qi Refining

In the past few days, Gu Ming feels that he has lived a very fulfilling life.

However, no matter how busy and tired he was, he did not forget to go to the alchemy room every day to greet his master, and then returned to his residence to start cultivating.

For Lin Ziqian, the Great Grandmaster of the Jindan Period, what happened in the entire courtyard could not escape his divine sense, and for the changes in Gu Ming these days, Lin Ziqian saw it in his eyes, and his face showed a relieved expression.

For this little apprentice who was accepted on a whim, his qualifications were indeed a little worse, but he didn't expect that the Sangyu who was lost in the east corner of the harvest made Lin Ziqian quite satisfied with his character, and as for the attached attributes of the top student, it made his eyes shine.

On the tenth day, Lin Ziqian's refining of the pill entrusted by Liu Changqing, the elder of the Moon Moon Sword Sect, was finally completed, and he continuously played a series of techniques against the Dan furnace, successfully put the pill that had just been baked into a pharmacist gourd and put it away, and then paced to Gu Mingfang.

At this time, Gu Ming was still immersed in his own learning state, and he didn't notice that the master had entered the room. When he finally finished a stage of reading, stretched his waist, and sighed that the five elements of yin and yang were indeed mysterious, he found that Lin Ziqian was already standing behind him.

Gu Ming hurriedly stood up, and while arranging his clothes, he came to the master and saluted Lin Ziqian: "Disciple Gu Ming, please say hello to the master! I don't know that the master is here, please atone for the disciple's negligence!"

Lin Ziqian stopped him with a smile: "It's quite rare for the teacher to see you so focused on studying! It's because the teacher can't bear to disturb, it's not your fault, so you don't have to admit your mistake!"

"The master does not blame the master's care, and the disciple's own negligence is the disciple's disrespect to the master, and he should accept the punishment. Gu Ming still bowed to Lin Ziqian in a dignified manner.

Seeing Gu Ming say so, Lin Ziqian no longer stopped, but accepted the disciple's courtesy with a smile.

When he stood up, Lin Ziqian first sat down at the table by himself, looked at the homework on the table, and there were still annotations and experiences he remarked on the book!

Lin Ziqian asked this newly accepted registered disciple to step forward, smiled and said to him: "Not bad, not bad, rare, rare!"

"I thought that with your qualifications, it would take you ten days to reach the first grade of Qi refining, but I didn't expect that you would succeed in breaking through in just five days, which surprised you! Especially on the way to the Medicine Master Dan Dao, you can have such insight just after getting started, which makes the teacher very pleased!" Lin Ziqian was still quite satisfied with Gu Ming's efforts, and did not hesitate to praise him.

"The master's kindness cannot be repaid, and when he started to cultivate, he knew that compared with the talent of Tianzhong, the disciple's qualifications were really dull, and he could only work hard in cultivation to live up to his master's kindness. Gu Ming's words were from his heart,

Lin Ziqian disagreed with Gu Ming's reply, and said: "There is no time for cultivation, your cultivation path is still very long, it is a good thing to focus on cultivation, but if you are too addicted, it will not be beautiful." Cultivation is like gathering sand into a tower and dripping water through stones, when the time comes, kung fu will naturally become, remember to be too much, let alone abandon the basics. ”

Lin Ziqian also knew that Gu Ming's understanding of the cultivation realm was still very superficial, he compared himself with Mingyue, he was a little stimulated, and continued to enlighten: "Your senior brother has been practicing as a teacher for more than two years, and his current achievements are not his alone, and many factors in it are unknown to outsiders. You don't have to be too presumptuous, and now your performance is quite satisfactory to the teacher. ”

To be honest, reaching the first grade of Qi refining in five days, it is true that there is the credit of Lin Ziqian's Daigo empowerment exercises, and at the same time, there are also the benefits brought by the purified aura of the Qi Replenishing Pill, but it is more due to Gu Ming's strong spiritual power.

After fusing Lu Sheng's soul, his spiritual power was nearly twice as powerful as that of an ordinary cultivator who had just awakened the spiritual root, which made Gu Ming persist longer when he practiced than when he was being practiced, and his mental fatigue recovered faster after the practice. and the most suitable learning method for Gu Ming cultivated by twenty years of hard study in his previous life, the combination of several items is the fundamental reason why he was able to be promoted from a good "top student" to a "top student" in his studies.

"Follow the master's teachings!" Gu Ming has always been very humble in front of the master.

Lin Ziqian was very satisfied with the disciple's not arrogant and impatient character, only to see him stroke his beard and say: "I still have some time to be a teacher today, so I will take this opportunity to tell you the gist of each stage of cultivation." At the same time, you can also raise your doubts in your studies, and the teacher may be able to answer them for you. ”

Seeing that the master was going to "open a small stove" for him, of course he was very happy. hurriedly thanked the master, and then carried a small wooden square chair and sat opposite Lin Ziqian.

Lin Ziqian introduced the matter of cultivation little by little from the beginning, and Gu Ming gradually became fascinated by it, as if he was afraid of missing a word.

Xiuzhen is divided into nine levels: Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, Void Breaking, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Golden Immortal; There are three small stages in the later stage; each small stage corresponds to a state of cultivation, so it can be said that there are three small realms from each major level; after the later stage of each major level, it is called the Great Perfection, and the Great Perfection is not a stage or a realm, but it means a state when all the contents of this level have been cultivated, but have not yet broken through to the next level, and in this state, if there is no breakthrough, the cultivator's cultivation will no longer be able to grow.

Three realms in the gas refining period: three links, three refining, and three condensations;

The three realms of the foundation building period: de-fan, spiral, and hedan;

The three realms of the Jindan period: Void Dan, Real Dan, and fetal movement;

The three realms of the infant period: out-of-body, transformation, and distraction;

The three realms of the transformation period: Yin God, Yang God, and Refining God;

The three realms of the void breaking period: Mahayana, tribulation, and ascension;

The three realms of the earth immortal period: holding the Tao, keeping the Tao, and realizing the Tao;

The three realms of the Tianxian period: Peng Jiao, Peng Qian, and Peng Qi;

The three realms of the Golden Immortal Period: Taiyi, Daluo, and Mixed Yuan;

Lin Ziqian explained in detail the essence of the three realms of the Qi refining period for his disciples this time:

The initial three-way realm refers to: Tongshu, Tongmai, and Tonghai. After the acupoint is opened, the qi is introduced into the body to open up the meridians around the body, which is called the Tonghai, and after the qi is opened, the sea of qi is opened with all its might. Only by completing the above three realms can a cultivator achieve the unimpeded flow of qi throughout the body, and only then can he practice Xiao Zhoutian.

The realm of the three refinements in the middle stage refers to: refining the skin, refining the intestines, and refining the bones. At this stage, cultivators rely on the exercises, using the aura to start tempering the skin and muscles of the whole body, which is called refining the skin, using the aura to start tempering the five internal organs of the whole body, and using the aura to start tempering the muscles, flesh and bones of the whole body. Only after the completion of the above three realms, the cultivator's physical body is strengthened, and the sea of qi is further filled, and at this stage, the cultivator's sea of qi is still dominated by aura.

In the later stage, the realm of three condensations refers to: condensation, condensation, and condensation. In the last stage, although the cultivator's physical body has been strengthened, but the aura in the body is running and cannot stay for a long time, with the operation of the exercises, the aura throughout the body begins to condense into the vitality in the body's various points and meridians called condensation (figuratively speaking, it is like the dew condensed on the leaves of trees, flowers and plants in the early morning); with the generation of vitality, the strength of the body needs more powerful spiritual power to control, and the use of vitality to nourish the spirit is called condensation; through the operation of the exercises, the acupoints, meridians, and meridians around the body, The vitality in the muscles and bones has been filled, and the spiritual power has been strengthened, and the vitality of the surrounding body is still converging towards the sea of qi, and the spiritual energy in the sea of qi is transformed into the vitality called condensation. Only by completing the above three realms can the cultivator's spirit and spirit be strengthened, and the vitality in the body will be abundant, laying a solid foundation for the next step of foundation building.

Because Gu Ming still had a long way to go before building a foundation, Lin Ziqian did not give him a further explanation here, but only reminded him to be down-to-earth, lay a good foundation for the Qi refining period, and don't be too ambitious to gain more than to lose.

According to Gu Ming's current state of cultivation, it will take a while to break through the early stage of Qi refining, and every cultivator who opens up the Qi Sea will usher in another major event on the way to cultivation, and the significance of this matter is no less than the awakening of the spiritual root, that is, when opening up the Qi Sea, the first life soul will be opened: the Ghost Spirit.

In the Shenzhou Continent, cultivators have a total of three life souls, namely: Ghost Spirit, Cool Spirit, and Fetal Light. The Soul Essence is turned on when the Qi Sea is opened during the Qi Refining Period, and the main Yuan Qi is converted into the strength of mana (simply put, the attack power of the spell); the Soul Soul Cool Spirit is opened when the Yellow Court is opened during the Jindan Period, and the main Yuan Dan is transformed into the strength of spiritual power (in simple terms, the attack power of the secret art); and the Soul Fetal Light is opened when the Purple Mansion is opened during the Transformation Period, and the main Yuan Shen (Divine Consciousness) is converted into the strength of the Yuan Force (simply put, the attack power of the Divine Power).

Only when a cultivator opens up the sea of qi can he begin to refine the spiritual energy into vitality, and only by opening the life soul can he convert the vitality into mana. To put it bluntly, Gu Ming could only start using spells after opening up the sea of qi and opening the soul spirit, and only then could he officially start alchemy.

Through this period of dedicated study, while learning the basic knowledge of cultivation, Gu Ming has made up a lot of history, customs, and legends of Shenzhou, and has a basic understanding of the basic situation of the current continent. I have a preliminary understanding of the particularity of the status of Danshi today. Therefore, he is really looking forward to the Dan Dao that is about to open.

After Lin Ziqian submitted the entrusted pills to the Mochizuki Sword Sect, he deliberately turned down a lot of commissions in the past few days, and set aside an hour every day to explain the exercises and other skills to Gu Ming.

This made Gu Ming very happy, and of course, he studied very seriously and very hard.

Perhaps stimulated and influenced by Gu Ming, Mingyue, who usually doesn't study much, can occasionally come to study with this "newly accepted little junior brother", and also help the master explain some cultivation experiences from time to time, which makes Lin Ziqian feel quite surprised.

Originally, Lin Ziqian accepted Gu Ming as an apprentice, which was also quite selfish.

On the one hand, it is because there is a feeling of fate in the dark, and on the other hand, it is also because he feels that Gu Ming's nature is good, and he is well-known, I hope he can help take care of Mingyue.

Now that Mingyue has changed because of this, it can really be regarded as an unexpected joy.
