Chapter 229 Breakthrough, Spiritual Power and Innate Qi
"Master is indeed extremely talented. He has understood the [Swallowing Breath out of Water] so quickly."
Lu Qing felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the surrounding space and was somewhat surprised.
[Swallowing Breath out of Water] was specially selected by him from the inheritance of Lihuo Sect. It should be the most suitable method of breathing for Master.
Li means fire, and Lishui means fire and water. This is a breathing method that combines water and fire.
Master happened to have understood the artistic conception of the harmony of water and fire, and had the innate true qi of both water and fire in his body. It was perfect for him to practice this [Swallowing Breath out of Water].
In the surrounding space, the spiritual energy moved for a while, and then returned to calm.
The old doctor opened his eyes, full of amazement.
"Master, how do you feel?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
"This breathing method is indeed mysterious. It follows the way of meridian acupoints circulation. It is much more sophisticated than the martial arts method of refining the vital energy of heaven and earth." The old doctor said.
"Yes, the Qi-eating method is indeed much better than the Xiantian method of martial arts in terms of Qi refining." Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
Although the Xiantian method of martial arts also absorbs and refines the Qi of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself.
But its refining method is a relatively simple and rough way.
The absorbed Qi of heaven and earth directly enters the Qi acupoints, and the warriors then use the power of the soul to refine it bit by bit and make it their own.
The Qi-eating method is different. After the spiritual energy enters the body, it does not directly enter the Qi acupoints, but first goes through the meridians, and after the circulation of the body, it falls into the Dantian Qi acupoints, slowly refined, and transformed into one's own spiritual power.
Comparing the two, it seems that the Qi-eating method only has one more step of circulating the body than the Xiantian method, but it is precisely this step that makes the two methods of cultivation very different.
Circulating the body involves various meridians and acupoints in the human body. These meridians and acupoints are mysterious and the system is extremely large and complex.
It can be said that the various methods of breathing used by cultivators are so different and have different effects because the meridians and acupoints they travel through are different when the spiritual energy is refined and circulated around the body.
"The way the meridians and acupoints are circulated is mysterious and difficult to understand even in the eyes of us in the innate realm. I didn't expect that our predecessors had already studied it thoroughly and created various mysterious methods of breathing. The wisdom of the ancients is really unfathomable and makes people look up to them." The old doctor sighed.
"Master, we don't need to belittle ourselves." Lu Qing smiled.
"This method of eating air appeared in the ancient times of cultivating immortals when spiritual energy was flourishing.
In that era, there were many people with great supernatural powers who could fly into the sky and hide in the ground. With foresight, it was naturally much easier to create a method than in our time.
Now that spiritual energy has revived, if we live long enough and slowly ponder it, we may be able to create such a method of cultivation."
"That makes sense." The old doctor nodded, "Although the predecessors were powerful, the people today may not be inferior to the predecessors. Otherwise, our medical path, There would be no way to accumulate so many prescriptions and pharmacology to benefit the world. "
"By the way, Master, you just comprehended the [Water Swallowing Method]. How do you feel? Can you absorb and refine the spiritual energy now? "
"How can it be so fast. "The old doctor shook his head and said, "This [Water Swallowing Method] is extremely mysterious. I just have a slight understanding. If I want to get started, I am afraid it will take a few days to comprehend it."
"You can get started in a few days, and the speed is fast enough. Master, your qualifications are really amazing." Lu Qing praised sincerely.
This is the method of cultivating immortals. You can comprehend it as soon as you come into contact with it. Master's comprehension can be called extraordinary even in that era of cultivating immortals.
"Even the master is joking." The old doctor laughed and scolded.
"Old doctor, brother Lu Qing, it's time to eat!"
Just as the master and the apprentice were chatting, Ma Gu's voice came.
"Okay, let's go eat first." The old doctor said.
Lu Qing nodded, and the master and his disciple jumped off the boulder and walked towards the carriage.
After dinner, it was already dark, so Lu Qing and his friends simply set up a tent on the spot and prepared to spend the night in the woods.
After the tent was set up, the old doctor took a rest first, and continued to meditate on the [Water Swallowing Method].
Lu Qing and Ma Gu and others chatted around the fire.
"Brother Lu Qing, I looked at the itinerary. At most two days, we can enter the territory of Yunzhou. Yunzhou is the territory of the Liuyun Sect. What are you going to do?" Ma Gu asked.
"No need to do anything." Lu Qing said, "We just follow the location marked by Master Fang and go directly to the Liuyun Sect."
"We just go straight through like this?" Ma Gu was stunned.
"Yeah."
Ma Gu took a breath.
After a few breaths, he smiled bitterly and said, "You are worthy of being me, Brother Lu Qing."
He originally thought that Lu Qing and the old doctor had a detailed plan, but he didn't expect that their method was to just rush in.
However, when he thought about how Lu Qing had just started practicing martial arts and was only at the Qi and Blood Realm, he dared to go alone to the Happy Village and slaughtered the entire Happy Village, and he felt relieved again.
With Lu Qing's personality, this is indeed his style of doing things.
Thinking of this, Ma Gu's blood started to boil.
He was also very dissatisfied with what Liuyun Sect did. They even killed civilians. What's the difference between this and evil ways?
If Liuyun Sect could really be taught a lesson, it would be refreshing to think about it.
As for Wei Zian, he was young and energetic, and he had just proved his strength, so he didn't know what fear was.
Knowing that they were going to cause trouble for a big sect, he had no other emotions except excitement.
Anyway, if the sky fell, there were Lu Qing and the old doctor to support him, so he just had to follow.
This was also what the ancestor said when he went out.
After chatting for a while, they went to rest.
There was no conversation all night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Qing and his friends started to set off again.
For the next two days, the carriage was on the road.
Fortunately, Lu Qing and his friends were not ordinary people. Even Xiaoyan had an extraordinary physique.
Otherwise, it might not be possible to withstand such a rush.
On the morning of the third day, after Lu Qing prepared breakfast, he saw that his master had not come out yet.
He walked to the side and practiced the health-preserving boxing to stretch his muscles.
Xiaoyan, who also got up early, followed him and practiced in a very similar way.
In the past two years, although Lu Qing did not formally teach Xiaoyan to practice, he taught her a set of small health-preserving boxing that he had specially simplified.
This set of small health-preserving boxing does not have too complicated movements, and there is no need to stimulate qi and blood to practice, just practice with the breathing rhythm.
But the training effect is quite good, very suitable for children to lay a foundation, which was specially simplified by Lu Qing for Xiaoyan.
The brother and sister were practicing boxing seriously, and Xiaoli was lying on a tree stump beside them and watching them lazily.
As for the master and apprentice Ma Gu, they were also practicing on the other side of the woods.
"Since I refined the Earth Spirit Pearl, my body and soul have been slowly strengthening under the nourishment of this earth treasure. Now they are almost doubled and have not stopped.
I really don't know how powerful my body and soul will be after reaching the limit."
Lu Qing practiced boxing while feeling the changes in himself.
These days, under the constant nourishment of the Earth Spirit Pearl.
His physical fitness and soul power have been greatly enhanced.
Compared to the original, it is nearly twice as strong.
Even so, he has not felt that the speed of strengthening has slowed down at all.
Lu Qing dared not imagine how powerful he would be after his transformation reached the limit.
By then, I am afraid that he would not need to enter the perfect burst state. With only physical strength, he would be able to compete with the Xiantian realm.
After punching for a while, Lu Qing was wondering why the master got up later than usual today.
Suddenly, he felt that the spiritual energy in the surrounding space was getting agitated and quickly gathering towards a certain location.
And that was the tent where the master lived.
"Master, have you made a breakthrough?"
Lu Qing was very surprised and immediately stopped practicing boxing and came to the front of the master's tent.
In his soul perception, the spiritual energy in the radius of about one mile was pulled together and immersed in the tent.
And in the tent, a strong breath was drawn but not released, which was very shocking.
After a while, the breath in the tent gradually disappeared and returned to calm. The door curtain was opened and the old doctor came out.
The moment he saw the old doctor, Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
I saw that the master's breath was ethereal and unpredictable, and he had a more peculiar temperament than before.
"Master, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Not bad." The old doctor nodded, "After several days of meditation, I was lucky to gain something. I can finally absorb and refine the spiritual energy and practice a wisp of spiritual power."
Lu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this.
He immediately activated his supernatural power and looked at his master intently.
On weekdays, out of respect for his master, Lu Qing rarely used his supernatural power to check his information.
However, his master's breakthrough this time was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but check it out.
Then he saw a rich golden supernatural light emerging from his master.
[Chen Songqing: Superb medical skills, kind-hearted, respected, a very good old doctor. ]
[Cultivation: Innate minor success peak, water and fire attribute true qi. ]
[With the power of merit, you can avoid disaster and have a deep blessing. ]
[Amazing understanding, innate domain minor success. ]
[Comprehend the artistic conception of water and fire complementing each other, control the innate true qi of water and fire, blend and complement each other, practice speed and power greatly increased. ]
[The foundation of Taoism is beginning to show, with water and fire spiritual power. ]
Sure enough, he has cultivated spiritual power!
Moreover, he not only cultivated spiritual power, but also broke through to the peak of the innate minor success, and was only one step away from the innate major success.
"Master, what do you think is the difference between this spiritual power and the innate true qi?" Lu Qing asked.
The old doctor pondered for a while.
"In terms of power, spiritual power is stronger than innate true qi. Of course, the difficulty of cultivation is also greater.
Moreover, perhaps the world has changed. I can feel that the connection between spiritual power and the laws of heaven and earth is closer."
"So that's it." Lu Qing nodded, thinking, "The free and easy wanderer once said in his essay that after the spiritual energy is exhausted, the world will be shackled. The warriors can only cultivate to the realm of innate perfection at most.
It is extremely difficult and almost impossible to break through.
Now that the world has changed and the spiritual energy has revived, Master, you feel that spiritual power is closely related to the rules of heaven and earth.
I think if we want to break through to a realm above the innate in the future, we have to start with spiritual power."
Speaking of this, Lu Qing thought of Li Weitian again.
Li Weitian comprehended a higher realm from the array runes in the jade cave, and finally risked his life to break through.
At that time, Li Weitian was still very unwilling, thinking that if he had not fought with others when he was young, he would have wasted too much time.
If he had been given a little more life and comprehended the runes in the jade cave, he would have been able to successfully break through and step into the realm above the innate.
Now it seems that it was just Li Weitian's illusion.
The shackles of heaven and earth destined him to be unable to truly step into it even if he comprehended that level.
However, Li Weitian did not know the truth until his death, and he did not know whether it was lucky or unfortunate for him.
"Master, now that you have both innate true qi and spiritual power, does it affect you?" Lu Qing suddenly thought of something.
"It's fine for now." The old doctor shook his head. "Whether it's spiritual power or innate true qi, they are all cultivated by me, stained with my soul and will, and completely controlled by me.
The two have the same origin and will not conflict.
In fact, I can faintly feel that when I comprehend the [Water Breathing Method] more deeply, I can also feed spiritual power with innate true qi, so that spiritual power can grow rapidly, and it will not damage my cultivation."
"It can be so?" Lu Qing's eyes lit up, "In this case, doesn't it mean that even if the spiritual energy is not yet rich, Master can still break through quickly, achieve the perfection of Qi Refining, and enter the Foundation Establishment Period?"
No!
However, Lu Qing quickly reacted and felt that it was wrong.
If it was really so easy to solve the problem of lack of spiritual energy, then Xiaoyao Sanren would not have been so desperate, and those powerful immortal cultivators in the immortal cultivation era would not have disappeared.
"It's not that simple."
Sure enough, the old doctor smiled and said, "Humans are born relying on heaven and earth, even for us practitioners.
If I transform the innate true qi into spiritual power now, I can quickly improve my Qi training.
It's indeed no problem in the short term, but over time, I will definitely not be able to control the spiritual power in my body from dissipating outward, because the rules of heaven and earth have not changed and grown to that point."
"I understand, it's like a person in a dry and hot desert. No matter how much water you drink, it will eventually dissipate due to the lack of water vapor in heaven and earth and the hot environment." Lu Qing suddenly realized.
The old doctor nodded: "Although it's not quite appropriate, the truth is basically the same."
So, those powerful immortal cultivators in ancient times may have disappeared for this reason.
Because the world has changed, it can no longer accommodate such powerful practitioners.
After chatting with the master for a while, Lu Qing gained a lot.
Similarly, the master's breakthrough this time is also a big surprise.
In this way, their subsequent trip to Yunzhou will be more secure.
