Chapter 2 The Law of Aura
"Time travel to the first year, May 6th. What is scientific thinking? Scientific thinking does not refer to the periodic table of elements or atomic quanta, but a method of understanding the world.
Although I was just an ordinary college student in my previous life, I still know something about the education I have received over the past ten years... In short, it means observation, thinking, experimenting, and summarizing. "
"Just like Newton noticed the falling apple, and after thinking and experimenting, he summed up the three laws of mechanics. Darwin traveled around the world, observed countless species, and finally summed up the principle of [natural selection, survival of the fittest] The laws of nature..."
"So if you want to understand the world, observing phenomena is an indispensable condition. Even only by observing the corresponding phenomena can you derive thinking and summarize the corresponding theories."
"And [Aura] itself is an invisible and qualityless thing that cannot be observed. But according to the information I have learned so far, it can only be interfered with when it reaches the Qi refining stage. In other words, cultivation is the key now... "
"The first year of time travel, May 15th. I heard that the sect arranges monks to give lectures to us disciples every three months. I haven't entered the sect before the last lecture, so I can go and listen to it this time.
After all, I was a little confused about the exercises that were handed down from the sect. Before awakening the memory of my past life, I didn’t study seriously. As a result, I really don’t understand the meaning of those exercises now. If I practice them rashly, Something will go wrong. "
"The first year of time travel, May 16th. The blue dragon chases the tiger and the tiger follows the dragon. The red birds meet and the sound of Yong Yong is heard. The fire regulates the energy and moves the bird palace. The cinnabar enters the belly and rushes. The meaning of the five elements is difficult to understand, and the dragon and tiger are hidden. In the midst of hardship..."
"Hmm... Can any fellow Taoist explain to me what he is talking about?!
Why can I understand every word, but when put together, I have no idea what it means? ! !
After all, I, Lin Chen, am a college student who has gone through nine years of compulsory education and has more than 130 Chinese language skills in the college entrance examination. Although my ability is a little bit worse after going to college, why can't I understand what he is talking about at all? Can you tell it in a simple way? "
But now I know one thing, that is, the practice of Qi refining in this world is different from what I know... I originally thought that it was to go down to the first, second, and third level of Qi refining, but I was surprised by the Fellow Taoist rolled his eyes...
What he means is that spiritual practice is the evolution of the essence of life, which proceeds one stage after another, and low-level monks cannot accurately quantify it.
Coupled with the differences in personal Dantian reserves and physical fitness, there is no very obvious grade division between Qi refining periods. Instead, they are more likely to be distinguished by the stages of cultivation, which are divided into [Nourishing Qi], [Condensing Zhen], and [Practice]. Cyclone]... Well, according to the understanding of us time travellers, isn't it the early, middle and late stages of Qi refining? "
"But that's not important. What's important is who is going to help me interpret this technique? I never expected that my scientific plan to cultivate immortality would be stuck in this crappy place before I even started!"
"The first year of time travel, June 1st. Thanks to the fellow Taoist in the neighboring house, it was with his help and reading many books that I finally understood the meaning of the exercises..."
"However, I unexpectedly learned that he is the number one scholar in the mortal dynasty. I heard that over there, due to its vast territory and large population, plus it is a land without spirits, there are very few people with spiritual roots, so the sect will not make great efforts. To test their qualifications, so if you want to get the qualifications for cultivating immortals, you must pass the exam? "
"Ah, this? There is an inexplicable feeling that poverty-stricken areas are more curly..."
"Forget it, it's not important. What I'm more concerned about now is the meaning of the exercises... I originally thought I would understand it after the interpretation, but who knows..."
"The prototype of the great medicine is wrapped in the heart fire, and it goes straight out of the alchemy cauldron. Then it uses the three flowers of the human body to return to the heart chamber of Jianggong in the middle Dantian. The golden lotus is planted in the fire, and a ray of Yuan Qi turns into true energy."
"...No, the human body is made of flesh and blood. Where does the fire come from? Where does the cauldron come from? Even the Dantian thing, I secretly went to the place where the sect disposes the corpses and dissected several experimental materials, but I have never seen it!"
"Holy crap! How did those senior time travelers just cross over and start practicing directly? This is not scientific, ah no, this is not cultivating immortals!"
"The first year of time travel, September 10th. Phew...the past three months almost exhausted me to death.
In order to understand the meaning of the exercises, I took advantage of the nearby disciples who were in the same class as mine to sleep, using incense to make them sleep to death. Then I sneaked in and touched their bodies, raised and lowered their hands, and observed with the internal vision talisman I bought using spiritual stones. Their Dantian finally understood what the technique meant..."
"What about setting up a furnace and setting up a cauldron, breathing in the sun and moon, and being separated from dragons and tigers? In the final analysis, they are just inhaling spiritual energy into the body, retaining it, and turning it into one's own use."
"However, spiritual energy itself is intangible and qualityless. Only those with spiritual roots can sense it, but they cannot touch it, so they must borrow something to keep it in the human body."
"And among the mortals in this world, real substances such as [inner energy] and [vital energy] can be born in the human body by supplementing food, strengthening the body, breathing, etc."
"By constantly taking spiritual elixirs or coming into contact with spiritual energy, monks react with the internal energy and vitality in their bodies and gradually acquire the characteristics of spiritual energy..."
“After transformation, the inner energy and vitality with the characteristics of spiritual energy are also collectively called [Zhen Qi]!
Since the true qi can react with the spiritual qi, the cultivator can directly absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into the body for refining. "
"This process is to continuously contact the vital qi in the human body with the spiritual qi, and finally slowly cultivate the human vital qi into the true qi with the characteristics of spiritual qi. Cultivating the vital qi into true qi is also called the nourishing state. "
"With this true qi belonging to the self, it can be continuously refined, or in other words, infected with the ownerless spiritual qi. This is the so-called condensation of the true qi, that is, condensing the true qi. "
"As for the cyclone? It should be to rotate the true qi in the body into a cyclone, which can store more spiritual qi, so as to achieve the true qi liquid impact foundation building period. "
"So, the Qi Refining Period Qi Refining Period, whether divided by layers or by stages, in the final analysis, is nothing more than transforming the ownerless spiritual qi between heaven and earth into spiritual qi that can be controlled by cultivators through various means, that is, true qi! "
"...This is what the time traveler can understand! Look at those Taoist skills, what about Lu, Ding, Jiangguan, Jinghua, if it was in the previous life, who could understand it without ten years of cultivation experience! "
"The second year of traveling through time, June 12. Is this the so-called [true qi] that can only be condensed by cultivators in the Qi Refining Period?"
"It is like light but not light, like water but not water, flowing and mysterious, without any entity, but it can be clearly sensed..."
"According to the records in the classics, this true qi, or true qi, is a kind of human secret medicine obtained by Taoists to regulate their own flesh, strengthen qi and blood, and refine essence into qi."
"Cultivators can rely on it to nourish the whole body, cultivate their body and mind, and can easily live to more than a hundred years old without being seriously injured!"
"Although I have just cultivated my true qi, I can't practice the method and technique, and control the instrument with qi, but I can also use the true qi to draw talismans and refine pills, look inward, recuperate, and practice higher-level immortal methods and techniques! ”
“But then again, true qi, real qi? This word is really interesting.”
“I remember that in my previous life, although there were also the three concepts of essence, qi and spirit, the concept of qi was very mysterious.”
“【essence】 can refer to the human body and blood, which are all real substances. 【Shen】 refers to the human soul, consciousness and memory. Although it cannot be directly observed in the previous life, the birth and development of human civilization can indirectly prove its existence...”
“But 【qi】 is different. Although Taoists say that the human body moves with qi, no one has ever seen it. Even in medicine, it is only a human judgment and cannot give accurate proof.
And in reality, those so-called qigong masters are also fake. Of course, it is possible that there are really Taoist friends hiding in the city, but they just don’t show their saints in front of people, but I was just an ordinary person in my previous life and couldn’t get in touch with these...”
“But this world is different. Not to mention cultivators, even mortals have the concept of qi, blood and internal strength, which can even affect reality.
It's interesting. When the human body structure is similar to that of the previous life, it can produce invisible but real things such as internal strength, vital energy, and true energy. Why is this? And what is the connection between them and spiritual energy? "
"Since I have been promoted to the Qi Refining Stage, I can study spiritual energy. It just so happens that I also want to see what kind of secrets spiritual energy hides?"
"The second year of the time travel, July 1. As we all know, the three elements of combustion are combustibles, combustion aids, and ignition point.
Although it is impossible to observe whether I breathe oxygen, that is, combustion aids, in this world.
But there is no doubt that in order to burn, there must be combustibles. This statement has been verified in the mortal world. "
"I found that the spiritual energy fireball that can be produced by the talisman [Fireball Talisman] does not require the condition of combustibles at all. It stands in the air out of thin air! Interesting, it does not require the combustion of combustibles..."
"Could it be that the fireball uses spiritual energy as fuel to burn? But burning consumes energy. If that were true, a fireball spell would destroy a mountain without extinguishing it. But this situation does not exist in reality at all..."
"Any phenomenon that exists must have its rationale. Perhaps I guessed that the direction of research was wrong. It seems that I have to think from another angle..."
"But then again, the spiritual stones consumed are a bit too much... Damn! Why is it that no matter which world I am in, I spend money like water!"
"September 3rd, the second year of traveling through time. After continuous experiments, I finally discovered that the reason why the spiritual fireball can burn is that the spiritual energy can temporarily turn into a certain substance, thus becoming the substance born from the fireball."
"But this transformation seems to be temporary, because I found that after a large number of fireballs destroyed the target, most of the original place was charred, with only a small part of the burning flame. Could it be that the flame formed by the spiritual energy turned into spiritual energy again?"
"The spiritual energy is transformed into combustibles, the combustibles give birth to flames, and the flames are transformed into spiritual energy. The three of spiritual energy, matter, and energy can actually be transformed into each other? !"
"December 1st, the second year of traveling through time. Aura is really a magical substance!
No, no, I am not even sure if it is a substance.
Anyway, after a lot of research, I found that under the strong influence of various factors, aura can be temporarily or even permanently transformed into any substance, and possess all its properties! ”
“Damn! This ability is too amazing, right? It is comparable to the philosopher's stone in the Western legend of the previous life! No wonder aura can give birth to immortal immortals that did not exist in the previous life! ”
"Combining the previous research and records, and then making conjectures and experiments, can I come up with a law that [spiritual energy can be temporarily or even permanently transformed into a certain substance, and possess all the properties of this substance]!"
"However, in Taoism, there are also spiritual arts such as ground spikes and entanglements. Unlike fireballs and wind blades, they directly use existing objects to attack, and they will not dissipate afterwards..."
"Spiritual energy is not a physical entity, but it can affect real substances. How is this possible?"
"The third year of the time travel, December 25th. The research went very smoothly. Of course, this was because I was in the right direction, but the various records of predecessors in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Pavilion also gave me a lot of help."
"Qingyun Sect's predecessors' experience records of spiritual energy for thousands of years For other disciples, it is trash, but for me, it is a real priceless treasure! "
"I can absorb and summarize these experiences to further improve my theoretical system!"
"Sure enough, only by standing on the shoulders of predecessors can we better understand this world!"
"Let's get back to the point. Through research and the records of predecessors, I found that only aura can affect aura. And why there are tricks such as entanglement and ground thorns that interfere with entities? It's because everything has aura, so they can affect each other!"
"After continuous observation and analysis, I even found that all things are made of aura!"
"However, due to the different activity levels of aura, inert aura becomes a mortal, while high-activity aura becomes the foundation of cultivators' practice. "
"And because of the activity of aura The degree is different in different things and regions, so there are differences between spiritual veins and wastelands. "
"That is to say, in this world, [active] spiritual energy has become the foundation of the evolution of cultivators' lives, while [inert] spiritual energy has become the foundation of the existence of the world!"
"So the existence of this world is not based on [atoms], but on [spiritual energy]!"
"So that's it... In my previous life, people developed a brilliant technological era based on microscopic particles, and the cultivators in this life have established a vast immortal civilization based on spiritual energy.
So with the development of civilization, will they eventually move towards observing nature, understanding nature, and controlling nature? "
"The fourth year of crossing, January 1st. Based on the existing discoveries, I have temporarily summarized two spiritual energy laws! "
"One: [All things in the world are made of The composition of spiritual energy and the activity of spiritual energy distinguish between immortals and mortals]!"
"Two: [Spiritual energy can be temporarily or even permanently transformed into a certain substance due to the influence of certain factors, and possess all the characteristics of this substance]!"
"Haha, perhaps for the cultivators in this world, these two are nonsense, but for us, who have scientific thinking, only by obtaining the basic theory can we derive the corresponding conjectures, and then explore and experiment, and finally get the brilliant results!"
"And I can also use this law to explore the cultivation system based on spiritual energy, as well as the soul that was illusory in the previous life but actually exists in this life!"
"I have decided that from now on, proving the law of spiritual energy, exploring the cultivation system, and studying the secrets of the soul will become the three major topics on my path to immortal cultivation! "
