Chapter 229 Breakthrough, Spiritual Power and Innate Qi
"Master is indeed extremely talented. He has comprehended the [Breathing out of Water Method] so quickly."
Lu Qing felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the surrounding space and was somewhat surprised.
[The Breathing Method out of Water] was specially selected by him from the inheritance of the Lihuo Sect. It should be the most suitable breathing method for his master.
Li means fire and Li water, that is, fire and water. This is a method of eating air that practices both water and fire.
It just so happened that Master once realized the artistic conception of the harmony of water and fire, and had the innate true Qi of both water and fire in his body. It was perfect for him to practice this [Breath-Swallowing Method out of Water].
In the surrounding space, the spiritual energy moved abnormally for a while before returning to calm.
The old doctor opened his eyes, full of amazement.
"Master, how do you feel?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.
“This method of eating air is indeed mysterious. It relies on the circulation of meridians and acupoints. It is much more sophisticated than the martial arts method of refining the vital energy of heaven and earth.” said the old doctor.
"Yes, the method of eating air is indeed much more advanced than the innate method of martial arts in the way of refining qi." Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
The innate skills of martial arts also absorb and refine the vital energy of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself.
However, its refining method is bold and relatively simple and crude.
The absorbed vital energy of heaven and earth directly enters the Qi orifice, and the warrior then uses the power of his mind and soul to refine it bit by bit, taking slow and steady steps, and making it his own.
The law of eating air is different. After the spiritual energy enters the body, it does not directly enter the Qi orifice, but goes through the meridians first. After circulating through the body, it falls into the Dantian Qi orifice, where it is slowly refined and transformed into one's own spiritual power.
Comparing the two, it seems that the Breathing Method has only one more step of circulating the Qi around the Qi than the Innate Method. However, it is precisely this step that makes the two methods of cultivation very different.
The circulation of the Qi involves various meridians and acupoints in the human body. These meridians and acupoints are mysterious, and the system is extremely large and complex.
It can be said that the reason why the various methods of eating air used by immortal cultivators are so different and have different effects is because the meridians and acupoints through which the spiritual energy is refined and circulated throughout the body are different.
“The operation of the meridians and acupoints is extremely mysterious and difficult to understand, even in the eyes of us at the innate level. I didn’t expect that our predecessors had already studied it thoroughly and created various mysterious methods of eating air. The wisdom of the ancients is truly unfathomable and makes us look up to them.” The old doctor sighed.
"Master, we don't need to underestimate ourselves." Lu Qing said with a smile.
“This method of eating air appeared in the ancient times when spiritual energy was at its peak.
In that era, there were many people with great supernatural powers who could fly and hide in the ground. With their foresight, it was naturally much easier for them to create martial arts than in our time.
Now that spiritual energy has revived, if we live long enough and slowly ponder it, we may be able to create this kind of cultivation method."
"That makes sense." The old doctor nodded. "Although our ancestors were great, people today are not necessarily inferior to them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to accumulate so many prescriptions and pharmacology to benefit the world."
"By the way, Master, you just comprehended the [Water Breathing Method]. How do you feel about it? Can you absorb and refine the spiritual energy now?"
"How can it be so fast?" The old doctor shook his head and said, "This [Water Breathing Method] is extremely profound. I have only understood it slightly. If I want to get started, I am afraid it will take a few more days to comprehend it."
"You've been able to get started in just a few days, which is quite fast. Master, your aptitude is truly amazing." Lu Qing praised sincerely.
This is a method of cultivating immortals. One can comprehend it as soon as one comes into contact with it. The master's comprehension can be called extraordinary even in that era of cultivating immortals.
"Even your teacher is making fun of you." The old doctor scolded with a smile.
"Old doctor, Brother Lu Qing, it's time to eat!"
Just as the master and the disciple were chatting, Magu's voice was heard.
"Okay, let's go eat first." said the old doctor.
Lu Qing nodded, and the master and disciple jumped off the rock and walked towards the carriage.
After dinner, it was already dark, so Lu Qing and his friends simply set up their tent on the spot and prepared to spend the night in the woods.
After the tent was set up, the old doctor took a rest first, and then entered into a state of meditation to continue pondering and comprehending the [Breath-Out-of-Water Method].
Lu Qing, Ma Gu and others started chatting around the fire.
"Brother Lu Qing, I looked at the itinerary. In two days at most, we will be able to enter Yunzhou. Yunzhou is the territory of the Liuyun Sect. What do you plan to do?" Ma Gu asked.
"No need to do anything." Lu Qing said, "We can just follow the location marked by Manor Master Fang and go directly to Liuyun Sect."
"Are we just going to rush in like this?" Magu was stunned.
"Um."
Magu took a breath.
After a few breaths, he smiled bitterly and said, "You are worthy of being me, Brother Lu Qing."
He originally thought that Lu Qing and the old doctor had some detailed plan, but he didn't expect that their approach was to just rush forward.
However, he felt relieved when he thought about how Lu Qing had just started practicing martial arts and was still at the Qi and Blood stage, yet he dared to go alone into the Happy Village and massacre the entire village.
Given Lu Qing's personality, this is indeed his style of doing things.
Thinking of this, Magu's blood began to boil.
He also disliked what Liuyun Sect did. They even killed civilians. What was the difference between this and evil ways?
If I could really teach Liuyun Sect a lesson, I would feel good just thinking about it.
As for Wei Zian, he was young and energetic, and had just proved his strength, so he had no idea what fear was.
Knowing that they were going to cause trouble for a large sect, I felt no other emotion except excitement.
Anyway, even if the sky falls, Lu Qing and the old doctor will support them, so he just needs to follow them.
This is also what our ancestors told us when we first left home.
After chatting for a while, they went to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Qing and his companions set out again.
For the next two days, the carriage was on the road.
Fortunately, Lu Qing and the others are not ordinary people. Even Xiaoyan has an extraordinary physique.
Otherwise, I may not be able to withstand such a hustle and bustle.
On the morning of the third day, early in the morning, after Lu Qing had prepared breakfast, he saw that his master had not come out yet.
He walked aside and practiced health-preserving boxing to stretch his muscles.
Xiaoyan, who also got up early, followed him and practiced in the same way.
Although Lu Qing did not formally teach Xiaoyan to practice in the past two years, he taught her a set of health-preserving boxing that he had specially simplified.
This set of small health-preserving boxing does not have overly complicated movements, nor does it require any exercises to stimulate qi and blood. It only needs to be practiced in accordance with the rhythm of breathing.
But the training effect is quite good and it is very suitable for children to lay the foundation. It was simplified by Lu Qing specially for Xiaoyan.
The brother and sister were boxing seriously, while Xiao Li was lying on a tree stump nearby, watching them lazily.
As for Master Magu and his apprentice, they were also practicing martial arts on the other side of the woods.
“Ever since I refined the Earth Spirit Pearl, under the nourishment of this earth-based treasure, my body and soul have been slowly strengthening. Now they have almost doubled and haven’t stopped yet.
I really don’t know how powerful my body and soul will be when they reach their limits.”
While practicing boxing, Lu Qing felt the changes in himself.
During this period of time, I have been nourished by the Earth Spirit Pearl all the time.
His physical fitness and spiritual power have been greatly enhanced.
It is nearly twice as powerful as before.
Even so, he didn't feel that the speed of strengthening had slowed down in the slightest.
Lu Qing couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be when his transformation reached its limit.
By then, he probably won't need to enter the perfect explosive state. He will be able to compete with the innate realm with just his physical strength.
After boxing for a while, Lu Qing was wondering why his master got up later than usual today.
Suddenly, he felt that the spiritual energy in the surrounding space was becoming restless and quickly gathering towards a certain location.
And there was the tent where the master lived.
"Master, has this made a breakthrough?"
Lu Qing was very surprised. He immediately stopped practicing boxing and went to his master's tent.
In his spiritual perception, the spiritual energy within a radius of about one mile was drawn together and sank into the tent.
And in the tent, there was a powerful aura that was lurking but was not yet released, which was quite shocking.
After a while, the smell in the tent gradually disappeared, returning to calm, the door curtain was opened, and the old doctor came out.
The moment he saw the old doctor, Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
I saw that the master's aura was ethereal and unpredictable, and compared with before, he had a more strange temperament.
"Master, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Not bad." The old doctor nodded, "After several days of meditation, I have made some progress. I can finally absorb and refine the spiritual energy and cultivate a ray of spiritual power."
Lu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this.
He immediately activated his special ability and looked intently at his master.
Normally, out of respect for his master, Lu Qing rarely uses his supernatural powers to find out his information.
However, the master's breakthrough this time was extraordinary, so he couldn't help but investigate.
Then he saw a rich golden light of supernatural power emerging from his master.
【Chen Songqing: He has superb medical skills, is kind-hearted, and is respected by others. He is a very good old doctor.】
[Cultivation: Peak of the innate minor success, water and fire attribute true qi. ]
【With the power of merit, one can avoid disaster and gain blessings, and have deep blessings. 】
[Amazing understanding, a small achievement in the innate realm. ]
[Understand the artistic conception of the harmony between water and fire, control the innate true qi of water and fire, blend and complement each other, and the speed of cultivation will increase greatly, and the power will be greatly increased. ]
[The foundation of Taoism is beginning to emerge, and the body possesses the spiritual power of water and fire. 】
It turns out that he has developed spiritual power!
Not only did he cultivate spiritual power, but his cultivation also broke through to the peak of the innate minor success. He was only one step away from the innate major success.
"Master, what do you think is the difference between this spiritual power and the innate true qi?" Lu Qing asked.
The old doctor pondered for a while.
Dao: "In terms of power, spiritual power is stronger than innate true qi. Of course, the difficulty of cultivation is also greater.
Moreover, perhaps the world has changed. I can feel that the connection between spiritual power and the laws of heaven and earth is closer. "
"So that's how it is." Lu Qing nodded, thinking, "That Xiaoyao Sanren once said in his essay that when the spiritual energy is exhausted, the world will be shackled, and the warriors can only practice to the realm of innate perfection at best.
It would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to break through further.
As the world changes and spiritual energy revives, you, Master, feel that spiritual power is closely connected with the rules of the world.
I think if we want to break through to a higher level than Xiantian in the future, we have to start with spiritual power."
Speaking of this, Lu Qing thought of Li Weitian again.
Li Weitian comprehended a higher level of realm from the formation runes in the Yuhua Cave, and eventually died while risking his life to break through.
At that time, Li Weitian was still very unwilling, thinking that if he had not fought with others when he was young, he would have wasted too much time.
If he were given a little more life to comprehend the runes in the jade cave thoroughly, he would surely be able to successfully break through and enter a realm above the innate.
Now it seems that it was just Li Weitian's illusion.
The shackles of heaven and earth meant that even if he comprehended that level, he would never be able to truly step into it.
However, Li Weitian never knew the truth until his death, and he didn't know whether this was fortunate or unfortunate for him.
"Master, now that you have both innate true energy and spiritual power, does it have any effect on you?" Lu Qing suddenly thought of something.
"It's fine for now." The old doctor shook his head, "Whether it's spiritual power or innate true qi, they are all cultivated by me, stained with my soul and will, and are completely under my control.
The two have the same origin and will not conflict.
I can even vaguely feel that when I gain a deeper understanding of the [Water Breathing Method], I can use my innate true qi to nourish my spiritual power, allowing it to grow rapidly without damaging my cultivation.”
"It's actually still possible?" Lu Qing's eyes lit up. "So, doesn't that mean that even though the spiritual energy is not yet dense, Master can still quickly break through, reach the perfection of Qi Refining, and enter the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
wrong!
However, Lu Qing quickly reacted and felt something was wrong.
If it were really so easy to solve the problem of lack of spiritual energy, then Xiaoyao Sanren would not have been so desperate, and those powerful cultivators in the era of cultivating immortals would not have disappeared into thin air.
"It's not that simple."
As expected, the old doctor smiled and said, “Humans are born from the dependence on heaven and earth, even for us practitioners, this is true.
If I transform my innate true qi into spiritual power now, my qi refining skills will be improved rapidly.
It is indeed no problem in the short term, but over time, you will definitely not be able to control the spiritual power in your body from dissipating, because the rules of heaven and earth have not yet changed and grown to that level. "
"I understand. It's like a person in a dry and hot desert. Even if he drinks a lot of water, it will eventually dissipate due to the lack of water vapor and the hot environment." Lu Qing suddenly realized.
The old doctor nodded: "Although it is not quite appropriate, the principle is basically the same."
This means that those powerful immortal cultivators in ancient times might have disappeared for this reason.
Because the world has changed, it can no longer accommodate practitioners as powerful as them.
After chatting with the master for a while, Lu Qing gained a lot.
Similarly, Master’s breakthrough this time was also a big surprise.
In this way, their subsequent trip to Yunzhou will be more secure.
