Chapter 38: The Soul Grows

Chu Lan ran the "Five-color True Body Forging Method", and after sweating profusely, he scrubbed and scrubbed indoors, and then began to try to sit cross-legged.

When she practiced the "Five-Color True Soul Cultivation Method" before, most of them were crooked on the kang at will, or even lying down flat.

However, according to the posture of the righteous path cultivation practice explained by the crane boy, that kind of loose form is not conducive to resisting the demons in the heart.

So in order to correct his habits, Chu Lan seriously pulled his little short legs into a five-hearted posture, and then closed his eyes and settled down.

Nourish the qi and strengthen the soul, attract the essence of the body, slowly descend from the top beam door, drive the acquired grain essence absorbed by the viscera, enter the sea of qi, and the group is like a tiger standing on the dragon plate, surrounded by a sea of qi about the size of a walnut, which is considered a week.

The role of the "Five-color True Soul Nourishing Method" in the qi cultivation period is slightly greater than that of the "Five-color True Forging Method", and its purpose is to guide one's own essence not to be lost or wasted, and to store the rest of the essence except for the energy consumed by the body in the sea of qi.

At this stage, Chu Lan could perceive the balance of the five colors in his body, such as the undulating fire qi of the flames, the qi of the upright wood of the pine and cypress, and the qi of the Gengjin that resonated with gold and iron, and there were already extremely shallow wisps of energy, expanding and contracting like breath between the various organs to which the five elements belonged.

With the nourishment of this internal qi, Chu Lan's body will become more condensed, and his soul will gradually become transparent, turning from the body of an acquired mortal to the body of an innate monk.

After thirty-six weeks of practice, Chu Lan paused to experience the changes in himself.

...... Uh, there is a feeling that you have just eaten a full meal?

This is the feeling of fullness of the soul brought about by the complete absorption of the essence of the five grains by the exercises and the introduction of the whole body.

At this time, when I look inwardly and visualize, the meridians like rivers and the five internal organs like lakes and seas, which can only be vaguely "seen" before, have their own shapes and colors.

Gold - skin, nostrils, lungs, large intestine.

Wood - tendons, eyes, liver, gall bladder.

Water - bones, ears, kidneys, bladder.

Fire - veins, tongue, heart, small intestine.

Soil - meat, mouth, spleen, stomach.

Because the qi of Ding Huo, Yimu and Gengjin has already entered first, and the Lord has occupied their respective instruments = officials, and there are still two colors left, Wu Tu and Ren Shui, which can make the five colors in Chu Lan's body reach a balance.

And because the five colors are the five elements, they continue to move according to a rule inherent in their own appearance, which is a natural act, and it has entered Chu Lan's instinct of circulating in the future, and she will obtain that trace of earth and water qi by instinct in the future.

Now, for the first time, he clearly "saw" his "colorful" internal organs and hair, and Chu Lan was shocked.

Her consciousness swims in its own small world composed of the cycles of the day after tomorrow, like a swimming fish entering the ocean from a ditch, looking east and west, what she had never noticed before, now magnified thousands of times, and presented in front of her eyes in detail.

The golden lungs, the fire-colored heart, the earth-colored spleen and stomach, the wood-colored liver and gallbladder and the water-blue kidneys make her little fish dizzy, and on the organs that are as majestic as a mountain, there are five colors that are beautiful, mysterious and pure, which are the real colors of the five elements, representing the five colors of the acquired qi, mixed together, one after another like a starry sky, it is easy to make people dizzy.

Then she noticed that her soul seemed to have become more powerful - the soul is odorless and tasteless, hidden in the depths of the body and cannot be seen, and because of the practice, the connection between the body and the soul has become more and more harmonious, and the growth of the soul is reflected in the body, which makes the five senses clear, and the ears and eyes are the norm.

Exhaled, Chu Lan refreshed herself and let go of her hands and feet and stood up, although she sat in a five-hearted posture all night, but because of the exercises, not only did she not feel the soreness of her body muscles, but she felt like stepping on cloud boots under her feet, and she was fluttering wherever she went, as if she could get up with the wind at any time and turn into a butterfly and fly away.

Beyond the five organs, down is the sea of qi, Chu Lan's current sea of qi cannot be called a "sea", at most it can be called a "cylinder". And the dantian under the sea of qi is still in the mortal stage and has not been cultivated.

Looking at Chu Lan's sea of qi, the innate qi of several stars is fluctuating, the lively and generous qi of Ding Huo, the sharp and resolute qi of Gengjin, and the qi of Yimu are like three-color candy, although it is the light of fireflies, it also makes it enough to make her sea of qi shine, and the dantian that is still a barren land under the sea of qi is also illuminated, revealing a void like a faint whirlpool.

The consciousness like a swimming fish continues to sink, and after entering the sea of qi, it stirs the inner qi that has just been filled with unsaturated internal qi, and the inner essence absorbed by the body is slowly attracted by the exercises, and as the consciousness precipitates into this "water tank", due to the restrictions of the exercises, it only condenses in the sea of qi.

The internal qi and the dotted three-color and five-element qi are mixed, just like the stars looming in the dreamy clouds, this star bucket is rounded in the sea of qi and floats and sinks, and at the same time, it slowly "infects" the internal qi next to them with a slight invisible momentum, so that a small part of the internal qi is transformed into a little innate five elements qi at an imperceptible speed - the qi of Ding Huo attracts the qi of Ding Huo, the qi of Yi Mu attracts the qi of Yi Mu, and the qi of Gengjin attracts the qi of Gengjin.

Because in the attention of consciousness, the speed of their transformation is very slow, and once they start to transform, they will not stop, they will only keep running on their own, so Chu Lan's consciousness observed for a moment and slowly left.

The fish continued to swim until the empty dantian.

For a while, both Zong Ying and the Crane Boy who claimed to be his senior brother had popularized some basic cultivation knowledge for Chu Lan.

The birth of a dantian from the sea of qi is a sign that the consummation of qi cultivation is about to impact the qi induction period, and Chu Lan, as a little chick who has just entered the qi cultivation period, although he now has the position of "dantian", he has no function of "dantian", and he has to wait until the internal qi in his body increases to a certain extent before he can open up the dantian like opening up the world.

Only then will the internal qi in the sea of qi sink and become dantian qi.

This inner universe is so magical, this inner weather is so mysterious, and this inner cycle is so fascinating—Chu Lan was immersed in a self-contained state of selflessness for four hours.

After a long time, because his soul was too full to support the "Five-color True Soul Cultivation Method", Chu Lan's consciousness withdrew from the inner heaven and earth, and he returned to reality in a flash.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had grown a lot taller, her perspective wider, and with a slight turn of her consciousness, she could detect any changes in her inner universe anytime and anywhere.

This is the first manifestation of the growth of the soul beyond the body.

-- The introduction to qi cultivation has been achieved.
