Chapter 475: Refining
Teacher Xue gave him some advice, then continued, "The first step in cultivation is nurturing. Now I will teach you the nurturing method that I didn't explain in detail earlier."
Chen Chuan listened attentively again. He could feel that after the passive stimulation just now, his attention became easier to concentrate.
Teacher Xue said: "The spirit resides in the body and is emitted by the body, so the prerequisite for a fighter to practice spiritual cultivation is a persistent belief and a strong body.
Therefore, in this stage of nourishment, it is not just about nourishing the spirit, but also nourishing the essence and blood. Both are indispensable. Now I will first teach you how to nourish the essence and blood and how to dissipate them.
Because most of this involves breathing techniques and the delivery of strength, Teacher Xue is very direct and teaches the tricks directly through field transmission.
The method of gathering essence and blood that Chen Chuan had used before was learned from the academy. Now he felt that this set of things was related to the previous one, and seemed to be an evolution of the original one, but more complex and profound.
This method is entirely a skill of using the body, and it is transmitted through the field, so he mastered it quickly.
But he could feel that the teacher's field seemed to be just a field, as if it was the only existence, but there was nothing inside, nothing could be felt, it was empty, without any trace.
He felt that the reason for this was probably that the other party's field spirit skills were extremely profound, reaching a level that he had no way of guessing.
Seeing that he seemed to understand, Teacher Xue continued without pausing:
"Next, I will teach you a meditation method for 'nourishing the spirit'. I will explain it to you in detail first. In addition, I will give you permission on the academy platform. You can log in to an internal platform to view it.
There are some past Q&A appendices above. If you have any questions, you can go there and look them up. If you are really not sure, please ask me."
As he spoke, he also conveyed the meditation method to Chen Chuan through the expression of the field, and then said: "There are two keys to the method of nourishing the spirit. In addition to meditation, it also requires appropriate medicine to cooperate."
He took out a box from his pocket, removed the seal, revealing three thumb-thick, two-inch long incense sticks, which he then pushed in front of Chen Chuan.
"During the 'Centering the Mind' stage, you should first use this in conjunction with meditation. You can purchase this kind of incense at the academy. It's not worth much on its own, but it will be very effective when used in conjunction with the meditation method I'm teaching you. I see that you're very energetic, student Chen. You must have learned some advanced meditation techniques, right?"
Chen Chuan nodded. He was using the method that Senior Cao had taught him before.
Teacher Xue said, "Meditation is very sophisticated. Different stages require different medications, just like how you gradually use different medications during your martial arts training. Some people don't lack meditation, but rather the right medications."
There are also advanced meditation methods that actually require special medicinal incense to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, the more such meditation methods are used, the more difficult it is to obtain the required medicines.
In the old days, the state religion had the "Taibai Jingguan" and the old imperial family had the "Chenglong Dayi", both of which can be regarded as one of the most advanced meditation methods. It is said that some people still know how to practice them now, but the matching incense and medicine can no longer be found.
So, while meditation itself is good, practicing it alone may only yield one-tenth or one-twelfth of the benefits, or perhaps even less. Well, I'm getting off topic. This incense doesn't last long, so it's best to use it within the next few days."
Chen Chuan said: "The students understand."
Teacher Xue then stood up from the ground and said, "Well, it's getting late. Let's end the class here. I'll be here all semester and will do my best to teach you everything I need to. However, how much you learn depends on you, Student Chen."
Chen Chuan also stood up. At this time, he glanced at Jie Ping and found that more than three hours had passed without him noticing, but it felt like less than half an hour had passed.
He bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I will need your care in the future."
Teacher Xue smiled and said, "I was assigned here by my superiors, so there's no need to thank me. Teaching you, Student Chen, didn't take much effort on my part, so I'm taking this salary for my hard work. Well, I should be leaving now. Um, before I go, I want to ask you one more question."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Teacher, please speak."
Teacher Xue touched his chin and said, "Student Chen, do you think the spirit can exist apart from the body?"
Chen Chuan thought carefully and said, "Based on my current understanding, I believe the two of you are one and the same, one indispensable, and neither can exist without the other. However, the world is becoming turbulent right now, so this is just my judgment based on the current situation and may not be correct."
Teacher Xue smiled, neither saying it was right nor wrong. He simply said, "Then, student Chen, once you've mastered the Heart-Stay Method, stay here. I'll be waiting for you at the agreed time."
Chen Chuanxin said, Teacher, I'll wait for you here.
He said, "Teacher, take care."
Teacher Xue nodded, waved his hand, and walked out, quickly leaving the practice room.
Chen Chuan looked at the sunlight streaming in from outside. What he had learned today had undoubtedly opened a new door before him. After mastering all this, he would be able to push his strength to a higher level. Thinking of this, his heart was filled with anticipation.
He stood in the warm and dazzling light for a while, then turned and left.
After returning to the dormitory, a prompt sound popped up on the screen. I took a look and found that this was the link to the internal platform sent by Teacher Xue.
He clicked on the light screen, and the interface immediately switched to a platform full of questions and explanations about various meditation methods. The meditation method he learned seemed to be among them, but it did not involve the specific content of the meditation method.
Some questions have been answered, while others remain to be resolved.
When he tried to look through it, the platform reminded him that with his current permissions, he could only view the content of the meditation method he had learned, and could only ask one question per month.
But he can increase his authority by answering other people's questions. His identity will not be directly displayed here, but he is asked to set an identity, or take a platform code.
He thought about it, and took a character from his nickname and the Xuejun sword, and typed the two words "Chanjun".
He realized that this platform was very valuable, but he didn't have any questions to ask at the moment. He had to start practicing first. If he encountered any problems during practice, he could come here to find the answers.
After looking for a while, he stepped back from above.
Teacher Xue said that I would only stay for one semester, and that he would teach as much as I could learn. So my learning progress must not be slow, but also steady. Otherwise, if my foundation is not solid, I will not be able to learn much.
He took out some of the medicine and decided to try the method of refining essence and blood taught by Teacher Xue. He knew very well that this was the most fundamental thing. If he didn't master it, there would be no need to talk about it later.
Sitting down, he swallowed the medicine, then slowly regulated his breathing to guide the alienated tissue to absorb the drug's power.
Essence and blood are usually nurtured from alienated tissues and finally accumulate in the heart. This mainly depends on the transformation and stimulation of drugs. The more drugs that can be absorbed and transformed in this process, the more essence and blood will be obtained, and the more efficient the breathing method will be.
This time, the guidance took about an hour, and the amount of essence and blood accumulated was obviously more than before. This was his first attempt. Once he became proficient, the gains over time should be quite considerable.
When Teacher Xue taught him the method of gathering essence and blood, he also taught him a method of dissolving it. This method is used to dissolve the power of medicine and is also part of the breathing method.
Under normal circumstances, it needs to be used after each training. If it is not done, the deposited drug poison will cause harm to the fighter over time.
It is worth mentioning that the previous breeding method did not include this step, so there would usually be accumulation of drug toxins.
Although this will take a lot more time, it eliminates hidden dangers. Such steps are undoubtedly indispensable for ordinary fighters, and even if it takes more time, the accumulated essence and blood will still be more than before.
But he has a second me to transfer these to, so he doesn't have to worry about this, and this way time can be saved.
After practicing the gathering and nurturing method, the next step is to practice the method.
Teacher Xue said that the incense had a time limit and had to be used as soon as possible, so he took one and lit it.
After a while, a mist like a light cloud emerged from the incense, enveloping him, and a faint fragrance entered his nose. His mind suddenly became peaceful, and he immediately began to concentrate his mind according to the steps of meditation.
In less than two hours, all three incense sticks were used up. When he came out of meditation, he felt as if his spirit had been cleansed and his mind was exceptionally clear.
At this time, he saw two voice messages on the screen that he had not read, so he clicked on them.
One of them was sent by Wu Han, saying that he had followed Lao Qi to complete a commission in the past two days. The process was very smooth and he received the money quickly. He said that the person he introduced was very reliable.
He also said that he had not seen anyone following him so far, but he would keep an eye on him at all times and would be notified if there were any problems.
The other message was sent to him by Lu Fang, saying that he had returned from Yangzhi and had just arrived in the central city today. He had now returned to the fighting gym.
After replying to both of them, he stood up and performed a set of regular free-hand fighting, stretched his muscles and bones, ate a few nutritional pastes, and sat down. Next, he began to practice the alchemy method formally.
This kind of pure self-spiritual practice, secondly, I can't help you at the moment, although he can use some things to assist, such as the jade core of Gao Tianyu that he just got.
Even if this thing is not made into medicine, it can still boost spirits and can undoubtedly play a role in assisting spiritual practice. However, he thought about it and decided to wait until later. When trying to practice for the first time, it would be best to rely solely on himself to calm his mind.
