Chapter Twenty-Eight: Opening Up the Sea of Air
The three-turn Qi Seeking Pill entered the body, and with the operation of Changchun Gong, it instantly turned into a clear spring, carrying an incomparably pure aura, gradually nourishing Gu Ming's meridians.
Gu Ming's consciousness once again entered an ethereal realm, his body seemed to become transparent, and all the changes in his breath became extremely clear.
Abandon distracting thoughts, forget time, and concentrate everything on the pulse of luck.
One, two, three!
The aura passed through all the meridians that had been opened, and slowly converged to the position of the sea of qi, but it seemed to encounter a layer of elastic skin in front of it, no matter how Gu Ming's luck hit, it was like a "balloon" bulging, but it just didn't break.
As more and more meridians are opened, this "balloon" blows bigger and bigger, and it seems that it has reached its limit.
Boom!
A crisp sound that could be heard by the naked ear came from Gu Ming's body.
It was this small sound, but it represented a big step forward in Gu Ming's cultivation.
Successfully break the level, open up the sea of qi!
After the joint efforts of all the spiritual qi that entered the body, in the moment of exceeding the critical point, they finally broke through the barrier of the sea of qi.
With the opening of the sea of qi, the aura around the body began to become regular with the operation of the exercises, and the aura was like the blood in the human body, flowing to every part of the body with the operation of the exercises.
At this time, his body was as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and every cell around him was rested and nourished.
Pneumatic and self-cultivation, qi quiet and self-cultivation, dynamic and static cultivation.
Qi begins to be biochemical, qi is dispersed and tangible, and life and death are born and destroyed by the heart.
The air cloth is cultivated, and the qi eventually changes, and the changes are endless.
Finally, Gu Ming's Changchun Gong can be practiced in Xiao Zhoutian, and the aura around his body circulates in his body for a week, and is absorbed by the spiritual root of the body and turned into his own use. The refined aura converged on the sea of qi, growing the sea of qi little by little.
It worked, it finally worked!
Gu Ming was overjoyed!
After more than a month of hard work, we have finally succeeded in opening up the sea of qi today, reaching the third realm in the early stage of qi refining.
I can finally practice spells, and I can officially learn alchemy!
Wowhaha, I'm going to move mountains and reclaim the sea in the sky!
Gu Ming wanted to look up to the sky and howl, but he instantly calmed down again.
No, no!
Don't be too excited, the master said that when the Qi Sea was just opened, it was also the time when the barriers of the Qi Sea were the weakest, and now was the best time to refine the aura and continue to improve the cultivation.
If you don't take advantage of the trend to refine the pure spiritual energy contained in the Three Turns Qi Seeking Pill, it will even more disappoint the master's kindness!
Come on, Gu Ming!
You don't have the talent of a senior brother, and you have to work harder to make up for the gap between yourself and the genius.
If you don't advance in the middle of the water, you will retreat!
Gu Ming, come on!
Gu Ming calmly warned himself, and Changchun Gong ran without slackening.
One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays!
His cultivation was steadily improving, although the speed was not fast, but with his unusual spiritual power, this retreat had been in meditation for ten days.
If Gu Ming hadn't prepared the refined grain pills he had accumulated in the past two months in advance, these ten days would have been enough for him to starve to death a few times!
However, insisting on these ten days has made him gain a lot, in terms of cultivation efficiency, he has actually cultivated at the same speed as the geniuses of the 7 or 8 spiritual roots in these ten days, which has to make people sigh!
No, when Gu Ming came out of the customs, after washing up carefully, he came to the study to greet his master Lin Ziqian, and excitedly reported the harvest of the retreat to the master, Lin Ziqian also sighed, it is really heaven to reward hard work!
Lin Ziqian looked at Gu Ming with satisfaction, and in a blink of an eye, the little boy in front of him had been worshipping the door for more than two months, this little boy with a second-grade spiritual root actually relied on his intelligence and hard work, and the qualifications of the second-grade spiritual root reached the cultivation speed of the high-grade spiritual root, and even won in terms of theory and insight, which had to be surprising and admirable.
He also figured out Gu Ming's situation in private, although he was the master who contributed to it, but more of it was due to Gu Ming's extraordinary spiritual power!
A person's spiritual power cannot be embodied and explored until the Jindan period is opened up to the Yellow Court, so ordinary children will not test their spiritual power at all when testing the spiritual root!
The spiritual power talent beyond ordinary people may be a compensation from heaven for Gu Ming's lower spiritual root!
"Ming'er, go and light the incense burner for the teacher!"
Lin Ziqian instructed Gu Ming to do something, and then let him sit down on the futon opposite him!
Gu Ming hurriedly saluted the master, then sat upright on the futon, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to listen to the master's teachings.
The master and apprentice sat cross-legged on the futon, with a golden silk nanmu coffee table in the middle, and an incense burner placed on the coffee table.
The cigarette smoke is curling and misty, which is the smell of tranquility. There is also a picture scroll hanging on the wall behind the master, with the word "Wendao" written on it, and the calligraphy is thick and steady, and the strength penetrates the back of the paper.
All this made Gu Ming instantly feel calm.
Lin Ziqian saw that his disciple had gradually calmed down from the excitement so quickly, nodded his head in approval, and said with a light smile: "Ming'er, do you know that you haven't had this kind of joy for a long time!
Hearing this, Gu Ming smiled happily at the master!
This can be regarded as living up to the master's expectations, right?!
"Your situation is really only seen in the life of a teacher and a student!"
"The mental strength, endurance, comprehension and heart that are different from ordinary people, these together have made you!"
"For the Dan Master lineage, the strong spiritual power is more conducive to the control of the details of alchemy, so it is unknown that you are about to embark on the Dan Dao journey, and your spiritual power that is different from ordinary people may become your best reliance on the Dan Dao in the future. ”
Saying this, Lin Ziqian paused slightly, looked at his disciple, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and continued to smile and said: "Your performance makes the teacher have a kind of sigh of unintentional insertion of willows and willows!
"Ming'er, the teacher is about to open the door of the Dan Dao for you, are you ready?"
Seeing the master's question, Gu Ming quickly straightened up, clenched his fists and replied solemnly: "The disciple is ready, please preach the master!"
Lin Ziqian nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Gu Ming to sit down, and then said: "You must keep in mind the words passed down by the ancestor, 'There is nothing between heaven and earth that cannot enter the Dingding, but not all can become Dan'." ”
"My Dan Master has the most important cause and effect, and the cause and effect of the Dan Dao is not in the user but in the refiner! Because the things that become Dan are all spiritual things in the world, alchemy is to seize the spirit, and to seize the spirit is to kill, and to kill is to destroy the Dao, so there are very few people who can get a glimpse of the Great Dao on the Dan Dao!"
"I'm not scaring you, I'm reminding!"
"Dan Dao asks the heart path, the heart road seeks the immortal path, and the immortal path is in heaven!"
"If you can't insist on asking the question, the Dan path will enter the evil path in the future!"
Gu Ming bowed solemnly and said, "Disciple, remember the master's teachings!"
"Hey, you may not be as good as your senior brother at this point, although you have a tough heart, but it is inevitable that you will be in the way, you still need to hone a lot in the way of relaxation!"
"The disciple must polish himself and live up to the master's expectations!"
Lin Ziqian nodded and said, "This is the end of the conversation, you can do it yourself!
Lin Ziqian started from the classification of pills to enlighten Gu Ming!
In the Shenzhou Continent, alchemy has undergone 10,000 years of development and has become very mature and systematic.
The current generally accepted system is:
The pills are divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine levels of cultivation.
The pills of each grade can be roughly divided into two categories: elixir and stone pill according to the pill material. Among them: those refined with living spiritual objects are spiritual pills, and those refined with non-living spiritual objects are stone pills.
Each grade of pills can be divided into three categories: qi pills, medicine pills and miscellaneous pills according to their uses. Among them, the Qi Pill that provides spiritual energy to help the cultivator cultivate, the Pill Pill that repairs the light and dark injuries of the body and qi for the cultivator, and all the other pills that provide the auxiliary state for the cultivator's cultivation are Miscellaneous Pills.
Each pill can be refined to improve the quality of the pill through a special method during alchemy, and this special technique is the so-called Zhuan Dan! To put it simply, two identical pills are refined into one pill, which is called the second turn of the pill. In the same way, four pieces in one is called three turns, and eight pieces in one is called four turns. Theoretically speaking, the amount of medicinal materials required for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was 256 one-turn pills, but the cost was actually much more than this, because the higher the number of revolutions, the greater the difficulty, and the lower the success rate! In the same way, the third-order elixir can be turned five, the fourth-order can be turned six, and the seventh-order and above can be turned nine.
In addition to improving the quality of the pill, there is also a point that is also the characteristic of the pill, that is, the condensation of the pill, which can also intuitively express the special effect of the condensation of the pill from the appearance of the pill. The surface of the first Zhuan Dan body is round and smooth, and the medicinal properties reach the first-order standard; the surface of the second Zhuan Dan begins to give birth to Dan lines, and the medicinal properties are consolidated, and the medicinal properties become slower with time; the surface of the third Zhuan Dan has Dan lines, and the Dan veins are born in the Dan body, which is conducive to the flow of the spirit of the pill, and the loss of medicinal properties is slower; the surface of the fourth Zhuan Dan faintly appears Dan Qi, as if the pill begins to breathe, and the medicinal properties are basically no longer lost; the surface of the fifth Zhuan Dan appears Dan clouds, at this time the Dan has become a self-contained, balancing heaven and earth, and the medicinal properties are locked in the Dan body; the surface of the Sixth Zhuan Dan not only has clouds but also gives birth to Dan halo, the pill is dizzy, and the inner aura of the Dan is full, and he begins to absorb the aura of heaven and earth outward, and the medicinal properties will not only not be lost, will slowly increase over time; the surface of the seventh-turn pill halo turns into danxia, and the pill seems to become a night pearl, and the inner world of the pill can already affect the outside of the natural world; the eighth-turn pill gives birth to the inner heart of the pill, and the pill at this time is like an embryo, and a new life is being conceived; the nine-turn pill begins to appear as a pill spirit, as if a baby is born, and the golden pill at this time can already be regarded as a rudimentary artificial spirit (but according to records, the pill nine-turn pill spirit does not appear out of thin air, but is formed by forcibly refining other innate spirits into the pill during refining) 。
However, under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, there has been no heaven and earth treasure above the seventh order in the Shenzhou Continent for thousands of years, let alone a seventh-order pill and a nine-turn pill!
According to the Danshi grading system, those who can refine a perfect first-order first-turn pill can be rated as a first-grade Dan master, (all those below the first rank are called apprentices), and those who refine a perfect second-order second-order second-turn pill are rated as a second-grade Dan master, and so on. (Since it is impossible to refine the seventh-order seven-turn pill, this is the fundamental reason why the current highest-level sixth-rank pill master in the Divine Prefecture Continent.) )
The above is the classification of the pill itself, and the schools of alchemy are divided from the conditions and techniques of alchemy:
According to the Dan fire used in alchemy, it is divided into two categories: Yang Dan and Void Dan. Among them: the external fire (open fire, mineral fire, earth core fire) is the main refining for the yang pill, and the one with its own fire as the guide, the burning aura is mainly refined as the void pill (cash is mainly popular alchemy combining internal and external alchemy, so it depends on which one is the main one). The use of external fire is limited by the location and is difficult to control, while the inner fire is the cultivator's own power, which is not restricted and can be controlled as he pleases, but is limited by the cultivator's own cultivation. For Dan masters and apprentices with low cultivation like Gu Ming, they can't use internal fire themselves, so low-level Dan masters generally use external fire to refine Yang Dan.
According to the alchemy technique, it is divided into two categories: Xuandan and Slippery Pill, among them: all the pills are rotated and condensed in the Dan furnace, and the last one that forms the Dan is the Xuandan; the pill does not rotate in the Dan furnace, but is formed by rotating itself in a relatively fixed position and is the Slippery Dan.
There are many other classifications, such as the method of collecting Dan, and the different schools formed by different techniques of turning Dan, Lin Ziqian explained them to Gu Ming one by one, and Gu Ming listened attentively and with relish!
