I Borrowed the Great Emperor’s Brain

Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.

So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.

While other...

Chapter 58 Qi Refining Method

Chapter 58 Qi Refining Method

In the room.

Chen Luo took out the "Record of a Hundred Immortals" again and placed it on the table.

He had seen the Qi Refining Method in the book before, and he had to learn it no matter what. Now there was a lot of blue energy accumulated in his body. Although part of it was consumed by the "White Fairy" in the book, there was still a lot left. In addition, it would be a waste if he didn't use the part accumulated by his morning and evening breathing exercises.

Turn to the page belonging to 'Bai Xian' Qing Yi.

The Qi Refining Technique was indeed still there.

"If you want to be submissive, you must first stop thinking and worrying."

There weren't many words, but the strange thing was that Chen Luo couldn't remember them after reading them once. What was even stranger was that when he tried to recall them, his mind was completely empty.

'The exercises are different.'

A thought came to my mind.

Chen Luo was unwilling to give in and recorded it again.

The strange thing is that when he read it this time, the content of the spell actually changed.

'Tao is Qi. Qi is the root of the body.'

With the previous experience, Chen Luo simply activated more than a hundred brains this time.

"Record it together."

This Qi-refining technique consists of only a few dozen sentences, and one brain would have more than enough to remember one sentence.

Read it once.

That strange feeling came over me again.

But this time, Chen Luo stared at the words and memorized them repeatedly. The same was true for the other 100 or so external brains, each of which only memorized a paragraph. Sure enough, after a short confrontation, the strange effect disappeared, and Chen Luo successfully memorized this Qi Refining Technique.

"It's done!"

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

Start organizing the contents of your mind.

This method of refining Qi is called "True Immortal Sutra", which describes in detail the methods and realms of refining Qi.

As described in the exercise.

After a practitioner enters the Tao, he can be called a Qi Refiner.

Qi Refining is divided into thirteen small realms, collectively known as the Thirteen Realms of Qi Refining. These thirteen realms are further divided into four small levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage and peak stage. Each level has its own special name, such as entering into meditation, sitting and forgetting, revolving, opening the eyes, etc. When practicing, you also need to absorb different spiritual materials from heaven and earth to increase the success rate, because when "human power is limited", you need to "use external forces to practice".

Only those who reach the state after Qi Refining can be considered as true immortal cultivators.

This state is called the foundation-building immortal cultivation. From this step on, one becomes truly extraordinary and otherworldly.

The life span of a foundation-building immortal is 500 years. He can fly with a sword and travel the world every day. He is a true immortal. The golden elixir and the primordial infant that come later are also different. The Qi Refining Technique is only briefly described, and not described in detail. After all, it is just an introductory method.

"The dignified True Immortal Scripture can only be used to refine Qi and enter the Dao?"

After carefully recalling the contents of the True Immortal Scripture, Chen Luo was very dissatisfied. The name of this book, "True Immortal Scripture", was very loud, and it sounded very much like a third-rate secret book in the martial arts world.

But it is understandable. If it is really a true immortal level technique, he, a layman, would not be able to remember it, and True Man Changqing would not want to leave Yue State and go to the outside world of immortal cultivation.

"Forget it, I can finally enter the Tao."

After recalling the contents of "True Immortal Scripture", Chen Luo mobilized all his external brains to begin to comprehend it together.

'The power of martial arts can be used to lay the foundation.'

'You can use the medicinal bath method to increase the success rate, but the combination of medicinal materials needs to be re-matched.'

"Spiritual roots! Spiritual roots are the foundation."

Among the messy information, one piece caught Chen Luo's attention.

It turned out to be the brain that was released by the Nineteenth Young Master who was guarding 'Old Jiang'. His starting point of thinking is different from all other brains, and the first point he considers is the fundamentals.

Chen Luo paid close attention and found that it was indeed the case.

The most important thing in the realm of cultivation described in the "True Immortal Scripture" is to refine the Qi into the body. This process is just like a warrior practicing martial arts, which requires storing the internal Qi in the Dantian. The "Dantian" of the cultivator is their spiritual root.

The strength of the spiritual roots directly determines the upper limit of a practitioner's growth, and the speed of refining Qi also varies.

A person with high aptitude can practice for one day as long as a person with low aptitude for ten, a hundred, or even a thousand days. In terms of cultivating immortals, the gap between people is greater than the gap between heaven and earth. No wonder the Baixian Cave has such harsh standards for selecting disciples. In their eyes, people with low aptitude have no hope of becoming immortals, so it is useless to teach them.

“My qualifications.”

Chen Luo subconsciously mobilized the royal brain and the brain of the Nineteenth Young Master.

He was able to practice cultivation thanks to the contributions of these two brothers. He didn't know what the operating logic of the "brain" was, because with the appearance of the two of them, Chen Luo's body also underwent subtle changes, and the spiritual roots of the immortal cultivator were also "awakened" in his body.

Chen Luo’s current qualifications, when activating the external brain, are considered to be the superposition of the royal brain and the Nineteenth Young Master.

One level stronger than the average qualified person, he can be considered a minor genius.

Without a genius, one cannot pass the test of Master Changqing.

“Not bad.”

Feeling relieved, Chen Luo began to consider formally entering the Tao and becoming a Qi Refiner.

"According to the description in the True Immortal Scripture, the first step to entering the Tao requires consuming a small amount of spiritual energy to flush the body and clear out the 'turbid air' that has accumulated in the body over time," Chen Luo estimated the amount of spiritual energy accumulated in his body, which was not small.

But it still does not reach the level of "a small amount" described in the "True Immortal Scripture", and can be considered "a small amount of one third" at most.

“Is this still a small amount?”

Chen Luo suddenly felt like a weakling.

If he really follows the description in the True Immortal Scripture, he needs to absorb at least one more light blue ore to make up for the remaining "two-thirds" before he can successfully enter the Tao.

“That’s troublesome.”

Chen Luo put the book down.

But he didn't take it too seriously. He was no longer the corpse buryer in Qingya County. There were countless people around him who were willing to curry favor with him. Not to mention those far away, his uncle Ruan Jianglong should be very willing to help him. Besides, besides the blue ore, spiritual energy can also be solved by breathing it in and out by yourself. It just takes a little more time.

Each of the more than one hundred brains in his mind had its own perspective on the problem. Different wisdoms collided with each other, allowing Chen Luo's mind to constantly produce new ideas. Soon, a new path of cultivation was soon established.

After reading "True Immortal Scripture", Chen Luo relaxed.

The overactive external brain in my mind fell asleep, and fatigue took over my heart.

Lying on the bed, Chen Luo picked up the "Record of Hundred Immortals" on the table and started reading it again. Ever since the "White Immortal" woke up once, the energy in the book seemed to have been used up, and now reading it was no different from reading an ordinary book.

Read it in one go.

Chen Luo read the life stories of the people who came after him, and found that they were exactly the same as what Master Changqing had said.

Except for a few people, the lives of most others are worthless, especially those who came after them. In Chen Luo's opinion, they may not really exist. The so-called "hundred immortals" are nothing but lies.

As the night deepens, I begin to feel sleepy.

Chen Luo yawned, put the book in his arms, lay down and slowly fell asleep.
