Chapter 656
After refining Qi, go to Jushen, and after Jushen, enter Yuandan.
As the third great realm for monks, the Yuandan Realm is also the second catastrophe that needs to be faced on the road of practice.
There is only one chance, and if you succeed, you will enter Yuandan to increase your longevity and achieve a higher level of life. If you fail, there will be no way to enter, and you can only stay in Jushen for the rest of your life, and the road to practice will come to an abrupt end.
If one is unlucky and another accident occurs, at least one's cultivation will regress, and at worst one's soul will be injured and the person will be disabled forever.
Shen Hao had done a lot of homework before, and the "Great Five Elements Jue" that Nie Yun helped him get in exchange also contained relevant descriptions about the Yuandan realm.
The word Yuandan has actually expressed the two most important key points of this realm.
Yuan, true Yuan! A new kind of energy that undergoes a qualitative change after the condensing of true energy is also something that monks in the Yuan Dan realm mainly "cultivate".
Pills are made of qi, and they are obtained by opening up the dantian. As a container, it is also the gate of life, used to store and call the condensed true essence.
Yuan and Dan, born together, go hand in hand, depend on each other and interact with each other.
These are the basic concepts of Yuandan Realm, and Shen Hao will slowly brew and try according to the breakthrough tricks he is familiar with in "The Great Five Elements Jue".
Shen Hao sat cross-legged on a futon in the tent. He brought the futon from home, but he still likes to sit on it when he meditates and practices, it will make him feel more at ease.
In addition to the futon, there is also the defense plate bought earlier, which is also opened this time.
Several bottles of Dapei Yuandan are placed at hand for easy access. Shen Hao even prepared some alchemy food, he didn't know how long it would take him to retreat this time.
First of all, he practiced calmly and warmed up according to his habits, so that he could enter the best state as soon as possible. These are Shen Hao's habits and experience.
Although he didn't think it was too dangerous, Shen Hao still felt a little nervous when the end came. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The process of breaking through Jushen and entering Yuandan is quite different from breaking through the small realm before. Because there is no so-called realm bottleneck or realm barrier for you to break through. Even in perception there is no reference. Xuan and Xuan rely on themselves to find that slight opportunity.
Fortunately, with the help of exercises, one can always find the greatest possibility step by step.
It was also after getting the "Great Five Elements Jue" and comprehending it that Shen Hao felt firsthand that the quality of the exercises is more than just the speed of practice for a monk. For example, the "Great Five Elements of True Qi" that he practiced before is no problem, but it lacks the description of many key points, and it almost depends on everyone's understanding and comprehension, with little help.
The "Great Five Elements Jue" is different. Shen Hao can learn from it that if he wants to find the slightest opportunity to break through the realm, he can use a trick to increase the opportunity.
Run the zhenqi with all your strength, and then keep hitting the lower abdomen three inches, which is the position of the lower dantian, and gather and squeeze the zhenqi in the lower dantian as much as possible, opening up the originally narrow "position" of the lower dantian wider. And in this process, there may be hidden opportunities.
In "The Great Five Elements Jue", there is no detailed description of the feeling of the opportunity of the Yuandan realm, but a sentence is used: it can only be felt but cannot be expressed in words.
Afterwards, no matter whether they asked Nie Yun or the three guards who followed Shen Hao all day long, even though they were all monks in the Yuan Dan realm, no one could tell what the opportunity was. It's just saying that you can "see Dan" after you seize the opportunity somewhere.
Don't ask, no one can explain it clearly.
Faced with such absurd claims, Shen Hao has no way or ability to delve into it, and can only try his luck like others.
"I hope that as they say, I have experienced an epiphany, and the realm of Yuandan can't stop me."
Soon, Shen Hao adjusted his state, calmed down and began to let the zhenqi that had been tightly packed in his meridians gather in the lower dantian.
The lower dantian is really too small, there is almost no gap, because it is not a big acupoint, there is no room for zhenqi to maneuver, and there is no way to retain much zhenqi. Merely as a bodily positional noun.
"This..." Shen Hao was in a dilemma for a while. But soon he found a way.
Isn't there no room for true energy to remain? Then squeeze hard, use a spiral method to slowly tighten the strands of zhenqi, and then knead them together, little by little to expand the lower dantian, which has no gaps.
To be honest, this process was very painful, at least with Shen Hao's tolerance, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, and his back molars were clenching.
Shen Hao didn't know if everyone opened up his dantian in this way, but it was his intuition, and although it was extremely painful for him to do so, it was the same as the general direction mentioned in "The Great Five Elements Jue".
All that's left is to wait.
In pain, people's perception of time will be infinitely lengthened, and it will be shortened infinitely afterwards. So the days feel like years, which means that you are suffering and feel that time is too slow. And then I feel unbearable to look back on, because you don't want to recall, so that painful meal was deliberately "shortened" by you infinitely.
Shen Hao felt that he was being tortured. On the first day, he was able to accurately distract and remember the passage of time. From the second day on, he wasn't in that mood anymore.
Should I stop and take a break? Shen Hao would not do such a stupid thing, unless he was exhausted, he would never stop.
Day three, day four.
The severe pain did not diminish because of the slight opening of the lower dantian, because the gaps inside were still very small, and just a little bit opened up was filled with true qi, and the true qi in the meridians was filled again. Continue to drill in.
I don't know if it was too painful and blurred, Shen Hao seemed to have seen a black shadow in his lower dantian, and there was a dazzling golden light mixed in the black shadow. Shen Hao felt that he had seen this scene before.
It was like "opening" a pair of eyes, although the black shadow and golden light flashed away, it brought back Shen Hao's mind, and he knew that he had found the slightest opportunity.
In the next moment, the zhenqi that had been squeezed to the extreme in the lower dantian suddenly showed a change that Shen Hao had never seen before, as if slowly falling silent from a dense fog, collapsing into small particles. particles much smaller than dust
Then these particles continue to be tightly squeezed together due to the continuous pressure from all directions.
Shen Hao felt even more painful. Because the particles in the lower dantian began to increase, unlike true energy, they seemed to have entities that shouldn't exist!
"I saw Dan too."
Opening up the dantian, using zhenqi as the root is like sowing seeds, and now it bears fruit. Is the thing formed by the gathering of small particles that are not even half a sesame seed together is the dan?
