Chapter 111: Hidden Fragrance Technique, Divine Presence Technique, and Opening the Altar Technique
"This is my family affair."
Liu Qiao'er waved her hand, not wanting to say more. Instead, she looked at him with interest and said, "I saw you using the Qi-gazing technique just now. If it weren't for my keen senses, I really wouldn't have noticed. It seems you have a good understanding. Have you practiced the Qi-gazing technique to a small degree?"
"Yes.
However, he still couldn't see through Sister Qiao'er's cultivation level.
Could it be that you have already entered the Dao?"
Chen Yushu nodded first, then asked carefully.
Enter the Tao!
But it is another level of realm.
It is the realm that countless people in the field dream of.
He had not heard of anyone in the entire Jianghuan Town who had reached this level. Even the master of Qingfeng Temple, who was recognized as the strongest in the sect in Jianghuan Town, had not yet reached this level.
Decades ago, only the witch from Beijiao Village, Qiaoer's grandmother, had truly entered this field.
"not yet."
Liu Qiaoer shook her head and said, "As for not being able to see through my skills, that's also normal, because skills are all relative.
Since there is a technique that can see through the other party's cultivation level, then naturally, there is a technique to prevent being spied on.
I'm always wearing the scent of concealment, so of course you can't see it."
"Hidden Fragrance Technique?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
As for the "not yet" that the other party said, he had another interpretation in his mind, that is, although the other party has not yet entered the Tao, he is actually not far from truly entering the Tao.
"The purpose of this technique is actually very simple, it is to prevent others from seeing through your incense and Taoism.
For example, I'm looking at you now... eh..."
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Chen Yushu's residence. As soon as they closed the door, Liu Qiaoer set her eyes on Chen Yushu and used the qi-reading technique.
Then, she was stunned, a look of surprise on her face: "You have already reached the second incense stick level? When did you break through?"
She was really surprised.
It hasn't been long since we last met.
She remembered that the other party had just broken through to the one-incense-stick level, but how long had it been since then? He had already reached the two-incense-stick level?
"Just broke through."
Chen Yushu said quickly.
"This speed... did you take some rare treasure?"
Liu Qiaoer asked quickly.
"Three soul beads were used."
Chen Yushu nodded. There was nothing to hide. Almost every person who walked in the underworld knew about the soul bead. It was something that could be used to improve one's spiritual practice.
Generally, only evil ghosts can appear, but evil ghosts are actually not that easy to deal with. Don’t think that Chen Yushu can solve them easily, but that’s only because he has talismans in his hand, which saves him a lot of effort.
It is actually very difficult to keep the opponent by simply relying on the technique of sneaking.
“No wonder.
However, although the soul bead can improve the cultivation level of the person who walks in the underworld, it also has a great impact on the person's mental will. It is best not to use it if possible.
Unless your state of concentration is relatively high, you will not be affected by the spiritual particles in the soul bead.
By the way, what level of meditation have you reached?
It’s also my fault for not telling you in advance.
If it's lower, your willpower may have been affected and you need to carefully recuperate for a period of time. You should not use the soul beads for at least three to five years."
Liu Qiaoer said this, feeling a little guilty.
The practice of Taoism requires one to take one step at a time. This kind of thing that can greatly improve one's Taoism certainly has its drawbacks.
She originally thought that Chen Yushu should not be able to come into contact with things like soul beads, but she did not expect that the other party could get three of them at once and absorb them all. This would have a huge impact.
A big change in one's mind and nature is just a trivial matter.
Once they lose control, they may even turn into a demon, becoming bloodthirsty.
Fortunately, at present, Chen Yushu has not changed much, but he still needs to be vigilant and cautious, and needs careful care.
"The realm of great concentration."
Chen Yushu naturally knew the danger, but fortunately, he didn't feel anything unusual during this period.
"Um?"
Liu Qiaoer was stunned when she heard this.
“Da Ding?
It seems that I underestimated you.
Great tranquility, great tranquility, a stable mind.
The three soul beads really can't affect you at all.
I think you must have had the opportunity to enter a state of meditation and then reach a high level of meditation.
You know, I also went through a lot of hardships to reach this level.
This realm is called the genius realm in the outside world. No matter what you learn, you will learn it at a very fast speed. It is the watershed between ordinary people and geniuses.
I think you have also experienced the benefits of this state.
Dading is also the standard for accepting disciples by many famous mountains and lakes and immortal cultivation sects.
For example, the Fuqiu Temple in Huangshan, which is the closest to us, has fewer disciples, but the primary criterion for accepting disciples is the state of great concentration.
There is also the Chaoyang Taoist Temple further north, which is famous for its talismans. All of its elite disciples have reached the state of great meditation.
Of course, Chaoyang Taoist Temple has a "Chaoyang Purple Qi Method" that can slowly improve the state of meditation, and the requirements for novice disciples are not that harsh.
But there is no doubt about it.
Only when one reaches the great state of concentration will one be recognized by the major sects in the outside world, which provides the basis for the possibility of achieving enlightenment.
That’s right.
In our sect, the primary foundation for breaking through to the Dao Entry Realm is also the Great Concentration Realm.
Although there are some people who have achieved a certain level of concentration and have reached the level of enlightenment, they all rely on external forces.
For example, evil spirits and souls, but these things, rooted in external evil spirits, are not pure in themselves, and using them to enter the Dao is also inferior."
Liu Qiaoer's face suddenly showed a look of realization.
Then, there was also amazement.
She didn't expect that Chen Yushu had quietly entered the state of meditation and reached the level of great meditation, which made her feel as if she was in another world.
After all, in her opinion, Chen Yushu's growth rate was too fast.
It was almost there and even she was shocked.
"Only after reaching the Great Concentration stage can one enter the Dao?"
Chen Yushu was shocked.
“It’s just a little bit more probability.
Entering Taoism is a test of the spiritual realm of Taoist practitioners.
If your spiritual realm is not high enough, of course you will be trapped there.
When one's spiritual realm is high enough, one can break through illusions and avoid being invaded by external evil. Then one can naturally go further, glimpse the yin and yang, and have one's soul leave the body."
Liu Qiaoer said, waving her hands, "You are only at the second incense stick level now, you are still too far away from this realm. Knowing too much is not good, it will easily make you restless and it will be difficult to practice.
However, you have reached a high level of spiritual concentration, so you are qualified to go further in this field.
If you have any questions, you can tell me. As a fellow villager and a fellow traveler, I will be happy to explain them to you.
You don't have to be too grateful. I'm not doing this selflessly.
But the practice of this line of work is actually very difficult. It is difficult to enter the path, and it is even more difficult to achieve enlightenment. Both require support.
Now I am helping you, but in the future maybe you will help me.
Everything in the world seems prosperous, but in fact it is supported by tall people. Most areas are actually occupied by demons, spirits, ghosts and monsters.
The night also belongs to them.
Therefore, it is actually very fortunate to have a few like-minded people who can help each other."
Chen Yushu was startled when he heard this.
The night belongs to them.
really.
There were quite a few ghosts wandering around Tianyuan Mountain at night. That Mrs. Bear was definitely not the strongest one among them. There were a few that made him feel terrified just by looking at them from afar. It was very likely that they were as evil as that ghost lady.
It's just because they mostly hide during the day and usually don't come to urban areas where humans live. Plus, ordinary people can't see them with the naked eye, which makes the world seem very peaceful.
But in reality, the wilderness contains great terror.
As for the offer of help, he knew it was just a polite remark from Sister Qiao'er.
But he is also confident that he will be able to help the other party in the future.
Therefore, Chen Yushu calmed down a little, and then said: "I have encountered a lot during this period, and I do feel some shortcomings.
Therefore, I also want to learn some skills from Sister Qiao'er."
"Learn the art?"
sure.
but.
Before, ten taels per door was just a friendly price.
If you want to learn now, the price is not this high.
By the way, you owe me thirty taels of silver, but you haven’t paid me yet.
But never mind. These thirty taels of silver are your reward for taking care of Xiaoyin during this period of time.
If you want to learn new skills, you have to pay extra."
Liu Qiaoer nodded at first, but soon her face turned serious and she said.
“I’ve already prepared the money.
This is thirty taels of silver, not a penny less.
As for the technique I want to learn.
I think the technique of hidden fragrance you just mentioned is good.
Then, I still lack a relatively powerful technique that can kill the enemy in one blow and a method to open the altar."
Chen Yushu thought about this for a long time. He handed over the silver first, and then spoke.
“The Hidden Fragrance Technique is simple, but it costs thirty taels of silver.
As for more powerful techniques, I happen to have a divine technique here, which can use the divine to defend against enemies and kill ghosts. It is relatively powerful, but also consumes a lot of energy. It must be used with caution in battle.
For this door, I'll give you fifty taels of silver.
As for the method of opening the altar.
This is actually a method that only people who walk in the dark with the cultivation level of three incense sticks will start to learn. Of course, if you have reached the state of great concentration and the strength of two incense sticks, you can also learn it.
However, this method is more difficult to practice.
Before performing the spell, one needs to set up a stall and borrow spirits and powerful talismans.
Otherwise, the talisman will be too weak and it will be difficult to play a role.
Compared with the divine presence technique, it should be used with more caution.
I can also teach you this method.
But I got one hundred taels of silver.
I will teach you the Three Doors Technique when you pay me the full amount of money.
No more credit."
Liu Qiaoer answered Chen Yushu's requests one by one, and to prevent the last incident from happening again, she quickly added a sentence.
"Don't worry, I have the money!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu was delighted and hurried back to the room to take out 180 taels of silver from the silver box.
Today, he does have some wealth.
Not to mention the two or three hundred taels of silver he earned from selling talismans, the silver he earned from exchanging those precious medicines for the trip to Tianyuan Mountain alone reached two hundred taels.
Enough to exchange for these techniques, and some left over.
Of course, he also knew that Liu Qiaoer still took care of him.
Otherwise, the skills cannot be passed on lightly, and it is impossible to learn these skills by spending only this little money.
"I didn't expect you to be such a wealthy man."
Seeing such a pile of silver, Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on her face.
Afterwards, there was no evasion.
I don't care about the time.
It is said that when the qi is full, one does not feel like eating; when the spirit is full, one does not feel like sleeping.
For people like them who are in this field, their spirits are extremely vigorous and they don’t feel tired or exhausted at all.
Even if the mental exhaustion is too great, it only takes one or two sticks of meditation to recover.
"The art of hidden incense, as the name suggests, is the art of concealing one's incense practice.
Just need to control your mind to..."
Soon, Liu Qiaoer began to shuttle around and explain.
First came the art of hidden fragrance, then the art of divine presence.
The last part is the method of opening the altar.
Compared to last time, it was still necessary to write words. After knowing that Chen Yushu had reached the state of great concentration, Liu Qiaoer skipped this step.
Because she knew that reaching the state of deep concentration would be considered a genius in the eyes of outsiders.
Genius, learns everything quickly.
Including various surgical procedures.
And that is indeed the case.
After just one time, Chen Yushu learned all three techniques.
Of course, actual application and mastery also require constant practice.
So, Liu Qiaoer openly occupied Chen Yushu's bedroom and went to rest.
Chen Yushu himself was practicing silently in the yard.
"Hidden Fragrance Technique!"
Chen Yushu's heart moved, and he controlled his mental power, circulating it in his body, forming a special rune structure.
moment.
He felt something moving in his heart.
I just felt like there was suddenly a special membrane around me, hiding all my mental fluctuations.
"Hidden Fragrance Technique, is it successful?"
Chen Yushu's gaze then fell on the attribute panel.
Hidden Fragrance Technique: Getting Started (1/100)
really.
The art of hidden fragrance has been introduced.
Getting started is equivalent to successful cultivation.
Afterwards, Chen Yushu began to practice the art of divine presence.
Compared with the art of hidden fragrance, the difficulty of practicing the art of divine presence is indeed much greater.
Moreover, this technique is not like the Fuyin Technique, which is performed by pinching hands, but is purely outlined by mental power to form special spell structures.
As soon as the structure was completed, power was immediately infused into the void.
However, Chen Yushu always felt a little difficult when performing it.
The structures of each spell are very complex, just like drawing in the void. It requires not only strong mental control ability, but also a detailed understanding of the spell structure.
“The structure of a spell is equivalent to the combination of runes.
Although I have memorized it completely, when I actually draw it, there are always fluctuations due to various reasons.
Once the fluctuation occurs, the technique cannot be performed."
After Chen Yushu failed again, he paused.
After thinking silently, he found that it was because his mental power was released and affected by the flow of external air.
He lacks a specific anchor.
It's like a talisman.
The entire talisman is drawn on a piece of talisman paper, so once he becomes proficient in it, he will not make any mistakes.
But when he performed the divine presence technique, he lacked such an anchor point. He could only control it in the void, and his mental power also needed to be released outwards in order to be presented.
Naturally, it is easy to draw it crookedly.
"Also, the wind in the air can easily disturb me."
Chen Yushu thought about it and changed the practice location to the study.
Once the door is closed, there is no wind around.
Then, he used himself as an anchor and began practicing again.
One spell structure, two spell structures...the moment the last spell structure was formed.
They were like a whole, turning into a spell mark.
Buzz!
In the void, a special force immediately gathered there.
It turned into a special divine light. Not daring to delay, he quickly opened the door and threw it into the yard.
bump!
The light swept across, and it was as bright as day.
But it did not cause much damage to the ground.
He only felt that there was a layer of hot and yang energy around him that lingered for a long time.
"I have also entered the realm of divine presence."
Chen Yushu was delighted.
He quickly looked at the attribute panel.
Divine Presence: Getting Started (1/100)
Sure enough, I saw the words "I have already mastered the art of divine presence".
“The introduction to the Hidden Fragrance Technique and the Divine Presence Technique has also enriched my abilities.
Especially this divine technique, which seems to have little destructive power on the environment, but the hot and yang aura it exudes feels much stronger than the lightning talisman I cast.
The killing power against ghosts, spirits, and dead zombies is definitely not small.
Not to mention, this is only the entry-level divine presence technique.
Once mastered, it can become a minor accomplishment, or even a major accomplishment...it will definitely become my ultimate weapon."
Chen Yushu suddenly felt excited.
The power of the divine presence technique finally gave him a lot more confidence.
"The only drawback is, as Sister Qiao'er said, the energy consumption is a bit high.
Using it once almost consumed 30% of my cultivation.
In other words, even when I am completely victorious, I can only use three divine presence techniques."
Feeling that his mental strength was slightly deficient, he felt a little helpless.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
Great power is inevitably accompanied by great consumption.
The power of the divine presence technique is extremely strong, so naturally its consumption will not be small.
"As for the remaining method of opening the altar...it's not that easy."
It took a while for Chen Yushu to calm down a little, and then he focused his mind on how to open the altar.
The so-called opening ceremony.
It means fighting against an evil spirit or an enemy with loud gongs and drums.
As long as a ghost walker reaches the level where he can open a temple, he can be regarded as a big figure in the sect. He is respected and can have a temple and a sign.
Just like the Li family before.
Before, he was just a ghost walker, and he only had a certain reputation in the village.
But when he really had the strength to open the altar, and actually set up the altar and killed an evil spirit, his reputation immediately spread and he was respected. The Li family also became a ghost-walking family.
Although success and failure are both due to opening a temple, they can also be due to opening a temple.
It is said that the Li family was destroyed because the spirit he controlled rebelled.
But this also proves the influence of a ghost walker who has the ability to open a temple.
If we judge based on the strength of an ordinary Yin-walker, Chen Yushu is still far from being able to open a temple.
Because he only has the ability to practice Taoism for the second time.
But because he had reached the great level of meditation, according to Liu Qiaoer, he actually had the ability to open an altar.
"but.
If I want to open an altar, I first need a strong spirit.
Then, it is a powerful talisman.
In addition, some equipment also needs to be purchased..."
Sister Qiao'er's explanation emerged in Chen Yushu's mind.
The other party had spent the most time explaining the matter of opening the altar.
According to her, opening an altar can summon spirits to fight enemies and judge evil spirits. If powerful enough, one can even scatter beans to create soldiers and send them to kill the enemy...
All kinds of mysterious methods can be realized with the help of opening an altar.
