Su Qing projected it onto the big TV and watched it while eating with his bowl in hand.

'Qi can be divided into innate and acquired'

'The innate qi is the internal qi, also known as the primordial qi; the acquired qi is the external qi, which is the breath.'

'Essence can be divided into innate and acquired.'

'The innate essence is the primordial essence, and the acquired essence is the essence of intercourse'

'Gods can be divided into innate and acquired.'

"The innate god is the primordial god, which is a god without god; the acquired god is the conscious god, which is a god of thought."

'Therefore, cultivation is to preserve the essence and guide the qi, to concentrate the mind and focus the spirit.'

After watching the video, Su Qing had a general understanding of Maoshan Taoism.

The practice of Taoism emphasizes the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. One practices the three acquired treasures to strengthen the innate essence, energy and spirit.

"How interesting! Taoism and supernatural powers are two completely different concepts!"

Su Qing showed excitement and couldn't wait to open the "Dongxuan Lingbao Zhenjing".

When he finished reading, the excitement on his face quickly disappeared.

It turned out that the "Dongxuan Lingbao Zhenjing" in his hand was an incomplete version!

In fact, it wasn't that the Eighth Master was unwilling to teach Xiao Yichen the complete version, even the Maoshan headquarters did not have the complete version.

In the early years, due to various reasons, the complete version was lost.

This is true not only for the Maoshan sect, which has been passed down for two thousand years, but for other ancient sects as well.

Having said that, no matter how incomplete it is, it is still Maoshan's thousand-year-old secret, far superior to some unorthodox methods.

The incomplete "Dongxuan Lingbao Zhenjing" contains the complete and intact cultivation methods for the first two realms, namely body tempering and qi training.

Temper the body, temper the body, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent practice;

To practice Qi is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and formally enter the door of spiritual practice.

But for the subsequent realms, only the names are left, but there are no corresponding methods of practice.

The book says that after practicing Qi, one will go through the stages of building the foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, returning to the void, fusion, and overcoming the tribulation.

According to legend, when one enters the realm of tribulation, nine-day thunder tribulation will befall, and after overcoming the thunder tribulation, one can ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

It’s a pity that apart from the founder of the sect more than two thousand years ago, no one from the Maoshan Sect has ascended to heaven.

Now that the complete version has been lost, ascension has become a myth.

In addition to the methods of cultivation, "The True Scripture of the Mysterious Lingbao" also includes three techniques: the technique of drawing talismans, the technique of driving corpses, and the technique of summoning gods.

"The cultivation methods for the first two realms are enough."

"In the future, there will always be fellow travelers from higher worlds joining the group."

"Let's try to see if we can practice first."

After some research, Su Qing tried to practice Taoism for the first time according to the techniques and Mr. Ba's explanation.

Sit cross-legged with your five hearts facing the sky, relax your body and mind, put aside distracting thoughts, and concentrate your mind.

I don't know how long it took, but it got dark outside.

Su Qing opened his eyes and frowned.

The previous steps were simple, and he did them.

However, there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth as mentioned in the Taoist Scriptures.

He used his mind to sense for a long time, but didn't see a single hair.

"Sure enough, I can't practice. Is it because the spiritual energy of the earth is too thin, or even close to nothing?"

Su Qing sighed and looked at the time. It was already half past eight in the evening.

Two and a half hours had passed without him noticing.

He stood up, turned on the light, and stretched his slightly stiff hands and feet.

"No wonder the Dao was lost. The loneliness and boredom of the early stages of cultivation is not something that ordinary people can endure."

Su Qing awakened the ability to strengthen his body, and his physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people.

But for ordinary people, if they practice for a few times and don’t see any results, it is really hard to persist.

"etc."

"Supernatural power. Dao magic crystal heaven and earth spiritual energy"

At this moment, Su Qing suddenly had an idea and a light bulb went off in his head.

Since practicing Taoism requires the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can the energy in the divine crystal be used as a substitute?

He quickly took out a divine crystal and held it in his hand, practicing the "Dongxuan Lingbao Zhenjing" spell and continued to cultivate.

"call"

Wisps of light blue mist permeated the divine crystal and were absorbed into his body.

Su Qing felt depressed and had no thoughts. A sense of comfort rose from the bottom of his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a "crack" and the divine crystal shattered.

Just like last time, the divine crystal with its energy exhausted disappeared without leaving any trace.

"Eh, 1,700 kilograms?"

Su Qing opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and found that his strength had increased again.

At the same time, he actually completed the initial tempering of his body.

He tempered his skin, flesh, tendons and bones very easily and reached the initial stage of body tempering.

"Could it be that Taoism and supernatural powers do not conflict with each other? Instead, they enhance each other?"

"That's really great news!"

Superpowers are related to the genes in the body, and practicing Taoism is also closely related to talent.

So, genes = talent?

The stronger the supernatural power, the better the talent for practicing Taoism?

Superpowers + Taoism, 1+1>2?

So, the physical ability indirectly improves the qualifications of the cultivator?

Su Qing narrowed his eyes, surprised.

"Just ask Xiao Yichen and you'll know what my talent is."

After thinking about it, Su Qing opened the chat group.

"@Republic of China Xiao Yichen, Brother Xiao, how is it, have you tried practicing? How is the effect?"

I wanted to chat privately, but Su Qing had an idea and opened the group chat.

"Well"

"I tried it and sat cross-legged for two hours, oh, four hours."

"I have been unable to concentrate and clear my mind. Instead, my legs have become numb and I am almost stiff."

"Brother Su, do I not have the talent for cultivation?"

After a while, Xiao Yichen replied with a sad face.

After being accepted as an advisor by the Eighth Master, he temporarily lived in Renjiazhuang.

I wrote a letter back home as soon as possible to inform my parents and relatives about this.

Then, I talked to Wencai about the local situation.

There really is a Master Ren Fa Ren in Renjia Town, and he has only one daughter named Ren Tingting.

However, unlike the movie, Mr. Ba does not have a disciple named Qiu Sheng.

Soon, the day passed, and at night Xiao Yichen tried to practice Taoism for the first time.

I don’t know if it’s because of lack of talent or some other problem.

He had been practicing for four hours, but he couldn't even calm down, let alone sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? "What the hell? Brother Xiao, did you try to practice? When did it happen?"

"You mean you became Master Ba's disciple and learned the Maoshan Taoism?"

It was not until then that Xie Yuanshan saw the group message and was shocked.

Good man, what on earth did he miss? Why did he seem to have missed tens of billions just by being busy for a while? And how did Brother Su Qing know about this? "I have asked a few girls and found out that there is no Luo Qingchuan or Maertai Ruoxi in the palace."

"It seems that the world I live in is not a fan fiction world, but a parallel Qing Dynasty world."

"Wait. What were you guys talking about? Did I miss something?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Huaping also appeared and said with a somewhat relaxed expression.

But after seeing the chat records, she was confused.

The rich aunt looked down on me, saying that I was old and ugly, and that she liked 18-year-old handsome boys, woohoo.

Also, who said that you can pick up gold rings and gold necklaces among the flowers on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day? 　　I squatted in the garbage cans for half the night last night, but I didn't pick up anything, and I was almost bitten by a wild dog!
