Not to mention the many spiritual beasts that naturally bowed, the mountain gods who came here with various thoughts also bowed slightly.

The previous ritual was to congratulate the mountain god.

Now I would like to thank you for your teachings.

Even though they thought that the method described by the young man was not of much value to them.

A mountain god communicated with each other through the sound transmission method, saying: "I originally thought that he was just a young man who was given this title because of his affinity with the mountain god. He was just a person who got to the top through connections and did not deserve the title. Today, seeing his demeanor, he is indeed [one of our generation]."

"Yes, yes."

"Not those good-for-nothings."

"Fellow Taoists, let's listen to the method our little friend has to tell us. Hahaha, he must have a very good understanding."

"If there are any omissions, you can give me some pointers. With his comprehension, he should be able to understand it quickly."

A strong man suddenly said indignantly:

"Humph... But, he should not be able to justify his title as the chief mountain god of these sixteen mountains!"

Everyone looked at him sideways.

The strong man added:

"At least, I can't sit still for a hundred years."

Si Niang asked with a smile, "What about a hundred years later?"

The strong man said confidently: "A hundred years later? A hundred, let's talk about it in a hundred years!"

All the mountain gods couldn't help laughing.

I know that he has always wanted this false reputation. In the past, he was no match for the previous mountain master. But now that he sees this young man, he probably feels that his chance has come.

Qi Wuhuo sat cross-legged on the bluestone. Because of the mountain god's seal, he could sense the fluctuations of the mana transmitted by the voice, but he did not listen. His mood gradually calmed down. He had already thought about what to say when he came here, so he thought about it for a while and said in a calm voice: "Some time ago, the mountain god told me the method of refining essence..."

The mountain gods calmed down a little, and nodded with a smile as if they were looking at a talented Taoist friend.

It is indeed a suitable subject for preaching.

Especially these spiritual beasts listen.

Then the boy's second sentence was heard: "We will continue the story today."

The mountain goddess Si Niang was slightly startled, and for a moment she did not react in her heart. What was the next step after refining the essence? Until the young man sat upright on the bluestone, his body straight, his hands gently resting on his knees, his voice mellow and his tone calm, he said:

"Today I will talk about the combination of Yuan Jing and Yuan Qi."

"The orthodoxy of Xuanmen, the innate Qi."

Then there was silence.

Luo Yizhen, Tao Taigong, and Shen Hongxue, who had just come to show support, all changed color.

Tao Taigong paused in stroking his beard, and for a moment he lost the relaxed feeling he had before.

The innate qi?

This realm is at their level.

At this moment, Tao Taigong suddenly felt that his ears had become extremely quiet, which was a little unusual. He discovered that the other mountain gods had stopped talking and laughing, and the wind blew through the pine forest, only the young man's voice was slow and peaceful, and many mountain gods subconsciously focused their minds, straightened their backs, and listened attentively.

A spirit beast scratched its ears and cheeks and asked, "Innate Qi?"

"What realm is it?"

Before Qi Wuhuo could answer, the sturdy man shook his head and said:

"He Lian Mountain God, these spirit beasts have just started practicing and can't even breathe properly. What's the point of you telling them this?"

"Is it better to talk about something more practical?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "This sentence is not correct."

The young man in blue shirt thought of the young swordsman who was once extremely talented and brilliant, and later became evil, and said:

"There are many people... because they don't know the right direction when they start practicing."

“So I went in the wrong direction, and that’s why I was stuck in trouble all my life, and never found the right path.”

"In the end, he just died in pain and distress."

"As long as you are determined to seek the truth, you will always be able to find the entry-level spells, but you must go in the right direction from the beginning, so that you will not regret it a hundred years later. I am here to preach today, and I think this is what I should talk about..."

“The path of spiritual practice is long and those who have never met a teacher are like walking in the dark, unable to see anything.”

"It would be nice if I could hold up a candle to illuminate the path ahead."

"What I'm going to talk about today is the first method of cultivation."

The sturdy mountain god didn't know what to say for a moment, but he refused to be convinced, so he said with a hint of sarcasm and sarcasm:

"You want to take a high-level view."

The blue-shirted boy said calmly, "Yes."

The mountain god opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

I just felt that the young man was calm and composed, so I coughed and stopped talking.

Far away, the old man in the town couldn't help laughing and brewed tea leisurely.

He was not satisfied with the calmness of the young man when he appeared, nor was he pleased that he was not afraid of the scene. The old man had seen many people of extraordinary talent, and there would be more and more people with stronger strength and more elegant demeanor at this age, but he only thought that he had good talent and did not appreciate him at the moment. The old man smiled and shook his head, with a little joy in his voice, and said:

"Let me hold up the candle and light up the path ahead."

"The one who can say this can be said to be worthy of my reputation."

"The highest good."

Qi Wuhuo thought for a moment, looked at the spirit beast, and explained, "When practitioners get started, they often start by nourishing their qi. The initial method is called [Foundation Building]. The name means that cultivation is like building a tall building. You have to lay a good foundation. According to the different styles and methods of each lineage, those with outstanding talents need about a hundred days of practice. Therefore, in Taoism and Buddhism, it is also called [Hundred Days Foundation Building Method]."

“After you lay a solid foundation, you have the basis for practicing and nourishing your qi.”

"Martial artists in the mortal world divide the levels of Qi cultivation into thirteen levels, with [Climbing the Tower] as the name of the realm, just like building a tall building on the foundation, and the next level is [Innate Qi]. To use a metaphor, when the building reaches the top, there is no way to go. You either have to stand still or you need to soar into the sky and ride the wind, which is not something that ordinary people can do."

"It also means that the next realm is otherworldly."

"【Building the foundation in one hundred days】, 【Climbing the thirteenth floor】, 【Entering the Dao】."

"And this [Entering the Dao] is actually the innate Qi. There are three methods for entering the Dao: upper, middle and lower."

Qi Wuhuo spoke slowly, and what he said was all recorded by Tan Tai Xuan in the book of immortality.

It is a method of practice passed down by the outside world.

Combining the mountain god's own practice records, he narrated it after understanding it himself:

"The lower level method cultivates the vital energy to the limit, and uses the spiritual power of external objects to help, or absorbs the energy of the earthly evil into the body, or extracts the essence of fire and copper into the body, so that the vital energy of the body has various strange characteristics. When casting spells, it is twice as effective with half the effort, and can be invincible in the mortal world. It's a pity that if you practice external objects, you will never be able to reach the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head in this life, and can only be a hero in the mortal world."

"It is also of no benefit to one's life span, for one often dies young and cannot enjoy a carefree life."

“So it’s low quality.”

"When a cultivator reaches this state, he cannot restrain himself, is eager for quick success, and takes the wrong path to break through the state, and then he falls into this path."

Some of the mountain gods' expressions have changed slightly, some look gloomy, some sigh with regret.

And a monkey in the mountain started crying loudly.

I think it is because he once absorbed the spiritual charm of the treasures of heaven and earth and reached this realm.

Si Niang looked serious and asked, "May I ask the mountain master, how is the middle-grade method?"

Qi Wuhuo thought for a moment and said, "Those who practice cultivation do not receive the true teachings and do not know the difference between Yuan Qi and Yuan Qi. They only combine the acquired Yuan Qi with the Yuan Shen to cultivate magical powers. They can then leave their bodies and travel around with their Yin spirits. They can do many incredible things. Their bodies die but their Yuan Shen lives on and they can live for hundreds of years. This is the so-called [Corpse Transmigration Immortal]."

“You may be free for a while, but you will never achieve the great path.”

"So it is the Middle Vehicle."

Si Niang looked melancholy, with a mixture of secret hatred and regret on her face.

Qi Wuhuo said: "And the top-grade method..."

Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at him.

Qi Wuhuo said: "When one cultivates the vital energy to the extreme and becomes extremely pure, and then refines the vital essence and retrieves the treasure of life, the vital energy and the vital essence will combine to give birth to the [Innate Qi]. At this level, one can stay in the world for three to five hundred years, and ride on clouds and mist. The Taoist sect calls one a [Daoist Master], and the Buddhist sect calls one a [Venerable Master]. One can hope to reach the level of immortals and gods."

Qi Wuhuo then went on to explain in detail the method of cultivating Yuan Jing and Yuan Qi and the final method of tempering it.

Many spiritual beasts and even the mountain gods came forward and listened quietly.

For a moment, in the huge mountain, there was only the voice of the young man telling the story. The snow fell from the leaves, making the place seem more peaceful. Many mountain gods listened and unconsciously bent forward. They didn't know how much time had passed. When the young man stopped, these mountain gods were still immersed in the method of cultivation and couldn't extricate themselves.

After a long while, Tao Taigong suddenly sighed and said, "In the past, I only knew how to practice, but I didn't know where to put my effort. The harder I practiced, the further I strayed from the right path. I am clearly just a withered bone in a tomb, but I think I am free and at ease. It is really sad."

"Thank you, young friend Qi, for clearing my doubts today."

"Finally I can get a glimpse of the direction of the avenue."

"Please accept my greeting."

Qi Wuhuo raised his hand to help Tao Taigong up. The other mountain gods also stood up and bowed deeply. There was no longer any contempt on their faces. They were all pleased and convinced. Even the strong man sighed, bowed deeply, and said, "I am a rough man. I don't know etiquette and I don't know the truth."

"Don't blame me, Mountain Master."

"Don't blame me."

Qi Wuhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks peaceful.

I just thought in my heart that this should not bring disgrace to the old gentleman's reputation.

According to the previous idea, he said: "Everyone came here, I have no other gifts in return, today I will refine a furnace of elixir..."

The mountain gods were extremely respectful and polite.

Qi Wuhuo was preparing to make the elixir, and he felt much more relaxed.

In his opinion, the key today is to preach the Dharma, and refining the elixir is just a follow-up.

But he didn't know that the old man who was supposed to be in the courtyard had already raised his eyes and saw clearly.

It seemed as if he was paying more attention to Qi Wuhuo's teachings than before.

"Practicing is fine, but refining pills may not be."

The old man smiled to himself as he sipped his tea and said to himself:

"With this mindset, you can enter my door."

"Don't worry about the pills."

"If it's your first time, well... just don't make a fuss."

The young man released the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace suddenly grew larger and floated in the air.

Qi Wuhuo stroked the alchemy furnace in front of him, not knowing how to start. When he was hesitating, he suddenly thought of the general outline mentioned by the old man. At this time, the old man had been preaching for a whole day. In winter, the sun and the faint bright moon rising early in the sky could often be seen. The sun and the moon occupied a corner of the sky. Qi Wuhuo suddenly felt something.

"The Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit urge each other, the sun and the moon go and come back..."

"Go back?"

The power of the mountain god was activated, imitating the previous posture of the tiger mountain god who had refined the moonlight and medicine in the cauldron.

Action and inaction stimulate each other, like the yin and yang fish, rotating endlessly.

The brilliance of the sun and the moon was suddenly attracted, as if a faint light was falling.

There are three ways of tapping fingers.

The alchemy furnace suddenly opened!

The sound spread in all directions, and the vital energy came back all at once like swallowing the sea.

The old man was just brewing tea. When he raised his hand to drink the tea, he lowered his eyes and saw this scene.

I almost spit out the tea in my mouth.

"Um?!!"

"Ahem, who taught him?!"
