Chapter 79: 7 Returns, 8 Changes, 9 Returns

Chapter 79 Seven Returns, Eight Changes, Nine Returns

The practice steps of the Three Lights Righteous Qi Art are extremely regular: refining the Qi with the Three Lights, then refining the body of the holy fetus, then refining the Seven Lights of the Big Dipper, and then the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir.

The corresponding realms are Qi refining, body refining, foundation building, and golden elixir.

The five traditional realms are Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Shrine, Divine Fetus and Golden Elixir.

There is obviously something wrong here!
Chen Shi looked serious.

Big question!
Although the Three Lights and Righteousness Art has the addition of body training, it lacks the two realms of shrine and divine fetus, and is definitely not as powerful as the traditional realms.

"Moreover, after cultivating the golden elixir, one can use it to refine the body. The realm of body refinement is also included in the traditional realm, but it is not singled out separately. Therefore, when one reaches the golden elixir realm, the traditional realm will definitely be much stronger than the golden elixir of the Three Lights Righteous Qi Jue!"

He thought to himself, "These techniques are engraved outside the True King's tomb. It is obvious that they are harboring evil intentions. They want those tomb robbers to come here and see the techniques on the stone tablets and start practicing, which will end up destroying their own foundations. But..."

He sighed. Although he was not a gentleman who robbed tombs, he did not have a divine fetus. He was desperate and could only practice the Three Lights Righteousness Technique, a skill that was obviously a trap.

The best place to practice golden elixir is the Mountain King Temple.

Chen Shi immediately packed up, took some dry food, and told Hei Guo, who was eating a rat, "Hei Guo, I'm going to the Mountain God Temple to practice for a day. If anything happens, immediately use the Armor Horse Talisman to go to the Mountain God Temple to inform me. I left you two pounds of exotic beast meat, hung on the wall, if you are hungry, you can eat it yourself. If you want to eat cooked food, you can light a fire yourself."

Hei Guo couldn't help but shake his head. The young master didn't treat it as a dog and actually let it make fire and cook.

Can I still get up and cook a few dishes?

Besides, it was eating mice and wouldn’t be hungry for a day or two.

Chen Shi came to the Tiger Temple and put down the bookcase.

He hadn't been to the Tiger Temple for some time, and there was no sunlight in the temple.

Chen Shi activated the Three Lights Righteousness Art and stepped on the Big Dipper. One by one, the Big Dipper star symbols exploded under his feet, tempering his body. At the same time, the blood in his body rushed towards his dantian.

The so-called golden elixir is the great medicine within the human body. This medicine is not sought from outside, but is refined from one's own essence, energy and spirit.

If you want to refine the golden elixir, you need to go through the Nine Palaces, also known as the Nine Cauldrons, to temper it.

The first palace is called Danyuan Palace, also known as Danyuan Ding. The golden elixir is formed in this palace. When it is refined to perfection, the elixir is completed and its color is blue.

The second palace is called Zhuling Palace, also known as Zhuling Ding. The golden elixir is tempered in this palace and is red in color.

The third palace is called Lantai Palace, also known as Lantai Ding, and the golden elixir is white.

The fourth palace is called Tianji Palace, also called Tianji Ding, and the golden elixir is black.

The fifth palace is called Huangting Palace, Zhonggong, and also called Huangting Ding. The golden elixir is yellow in color.

The sixth palace is called Lingfu Palace, also called Lingfu Ding, and the golden elixir is purple.

The seventh palace is called Shangshu Palace, also called Shangshu Ding, and the golden elixir is green.

The eighth palace is called Yufang Palace, also known as Yufang Ding, and the golden elixir is green in color.

The ninth palace is called the Crimson Palace, also called the Crimson Cauldron, and the golden elixir is ochre. (Compiled from Daoshu Jiuzhuan Jindan Pian. The golden elixir described in the book is the Taoist golden elixir, not the traditional golden elixir in fairy tales, which may be contrary to common sense)
Chen Shi has inadvertently stepped into the portal of this path. The Qi and blood in his body condensed, and he began to condense the golden elixir using his spirit as medicine and the Dan Yuan as a furnace.

Although it was a helpless act to practice golden elixir without a divine fetus, Chen Shi's practice was surprisingly smooth. Soon the elixir was formed, as if there was an endless sea of ​​fire in his dantian, and his essence, energy and spirit gathered there and condensed into elixir.

This elixir is boundless and natural.

Essence, Qi and Spirit condense in the elixir, and no one knows what the thing it transforms into is, nor does anyone know its name.

Just as he was immersed in his spiritual practice and had forgotten everything about himself and the world, a slight clicking sound came from the bookcase, and a faint green light emanated from the bookcase.

Green light emanated from the jade seal, and the stone box responded with light also shining out from it.

The sound came from inside the stone box, and it was very crisp, as if a lock inside the stone box was opened.

After a moment, there was another crisp sound, and then the sound gradually became more frequent, as if there were countless locks inside that were being unlocked by a mysterious force!

Suddenly, the stone box disappeared, and in its place was a small square stone lying quietly in the bookcase.

And a green light shot up into the sky from the bookcase and exploded suddenly, silently, but it merged with the incomparably rich extraordinary power in the Tiger Temple, and finally disappeared without a trace.

In the temple, the sun shines down, and the sky of China appears on the top of the temple, deep blue and boundless.

"The seeds that were left behind have been released, and my power can finally be channeled."

A faint sigh was heard from the temple, with joy in the sound.

"I can finally condense my appearance and welcome the changes in the heavens!"

Chen Shi was completely unaware of this and continued to practice diligently. The light of the sun and the moon coming from the Chinese divine land became stronger and stronger, transforming into surging qi and blood in his body. After being refined by the Big Dipper, it was melted into his body and nourished his essence, energy and spirit.

The essence, energy and spirit are as heavy as lead and mercury, and are tempered by the fire in the Danyuan Ding and refined into the golden elixir.

He was not in a state of meditation, but was walking continuously on the seven stars. His eyes seemed neither open nor closed, and his steps became strange. Sometimes he would even walk onto the wall, onto the pillar, or onto the roof of the temple. His body remained steady and he did not fall down.

Before he knew it, he had been practicing for twelve hours and had not stopped.

The furnace fire in the body gradually turned pure green, and the golden elixir also gradually changed color, as pure green as the furnace fire.

When the green golden elixir could no longer absorb essence, energy and spirit, Chen Shi's blood and qi were surging and his spirit was full, then he slowly opened his eyes.

The sun was shining brightly in the temple, and the doors and windows could hardly block the sunlight from the ancestral land. Seeing this, Chen Shi was awed, and hurried outside the temple, looking up at the sky. There was no meteorite coming from the sky, which made him feel a little relieved.

“If the True God from outer space senses the sunlight here, I’m afraid a meteorite will hit us and smash the Mountain Monarch Temple and this mountain into ashes!”

After returning to the temple, Chen Shi ate some dry food and tidied up, but found that the stone box was nowhere to be seen. He was stunned and searched for it hurriedly. However, he did not find the stone box, but found a small square stone, very similar to the stone box, but only the size of a thumb nail, a hundred times smaller!
"How can the stone box shrink?"

Chen Shi was surprised. He picked up the stone and it looked like an ordinary stone with only some subtle textures on it, indicating its extraordinaryness.

But how did the stone box shrink?
Why is it shrinking?
He held the stone in his hand and looked at the Tiger Temple. After a thorough inspection, he felt that the Tiger Temple seemed different from when he first came here, but he could not tell exactly where the difference was.

Chen Shi shook his head, closed the doors and windows carefully, and walked out of the Tiger Temple.

"Normal golden elixirs are kept in the shrine for warming and held in the mouth of the divine fetus. Why is my golden elixir in the cauldron?" Chen Shi shook his head. His golden elixir has not yet reached the ninth level, but only the first level. It cannot be considered a golden elixir, but only an inner elixir. It is called a golden elixir because it is easy to pronounce.

Chen Shi practiced the Zheng Qi Jue, and a shrine appeared behind his mind. He tried to mobilize the golden elixir, but saw the golden elixir slowly rising from his dantian. When it reached his throat, it could not go up any further.

He only felt that the golden elixir had reached his neck, and all the energy and blood in his body were concentrated there, making his neck instantly extremely thick, much thicker than his waist!

If this energy and blood went up along with the golden elixir and reached the head, I'm afraid the head would explode with a bang!

"Golden Elixir cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It also requires the seventh return, eighth transformation, and ninth return."

As Chen Shi walked, he recalled what he saw on the stone tablet.

The stone tablet says that the so-called seven returns are the return of the golden elixir to the veins, qi, blood, essence, bones, form and spirit.

The golden elixir is extremely powerful. If the cultivator himself is not strong, it will be difficult to withstand the power of the golden elixir.

Therefore, one must make seven returns, allowing the golden elixir to feed back into oneself, making one's meridians, qi, blood, essence, bones, form, and spirit stronger!
The eight changes are the changes brought about by the seven returns, namely, the pulse stops, the qi condenses, the blood turns into white milk, the semen turns into jade, the bones become like red jade, the marrow turns into black frost, the shape becomes clear and the body becomes exquisite, and the spirit becomes incomparable.

This is the eighth change!

The nine returns are returning to the kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, spleen, elixir room, qi house, essence hall, and spirit room.

When you have cultivated to the point where your brain is replenished with essence and your spirit chamber is emitting bright light, the golden elixir will then come to the top of your head, open up your sky, and allow the golden elixir to leave your body.

"Strange, the young master of the Zhao family who died in my hands, his golden elixir was not much stronger than mine now, at most he could refine to the fifth level of golden elixir, so why was he able to have his golden elixir leave his body?"

Chen Shi was very confused.

He was referring to Zhao Ziyu, the eldest son of the Xuanying Mansion of the Zhao family. Zhao Ziyu's golden elixir was placed in the mouth of the divine fetus. The divine fetus opened its mouth and spit out the golden elixir, which easily killed the enemy.

But Zhao Ziyu was killed by him in a face-to-face encounter. His physical strength was not enough to achieve the state of golden elixir leaving his body!

If Zhao Ziyu forced his golden elixir to leave his body, his brain would surely be impacted by the terrifying energy and blood brought by the movement of the golden elixir, causing his head to explode on the spot!
But Zhao Ziyu managed to achieve the golden elixir leaving his body!
"Perhaps it's because they practice the righteous way, and I practice an incomplete way."

Chen Shi walked in the mountains, activating the golden elixir in his body, practicing the Seven Returns, Eight Transformations, and Nine Returns. After a long time, there was no sign of the shrine dispersing.

Not only did the shrine remain intact, but the true energy in his body also did not dissipate!

Chen Shi stopped and was lost in thought.

Without the divine fetus, how could the shrine remain intact?

Without the divine fetus, how could the true Qi be preserved?

This clearly goes against common sense!

He stood there in a daze, his head seemed to be filled with thunder, and bolts of lightning kept striking him, making him dizzy, his mouth dry.

"Wrong, everything is wrong. Without the divine fetus, it is absolutely impossible to retain the true energy, and the shrine will definitely collapse..."

"Something must have gone wrong!"

"Either the world is wrong, or the true king is wrong! Or..."

His eyes widened and he looked up at the sky.

Either that...

God is wrong!

Compared to the world and the true God, he would rather believe that the true king was wrong!
People have been practicing this for thousands of years, how could it be wrong?
How come no one noticed if I was wrong?
How can it be wrong if the true God teaches this?
How could the true God not know that he was wrong?

Then, the one who is wrong must be the real king, it must be Chen Shi himself!

At this time, a cold wind blew by, and a voice in the cold wind called out, "Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi."

Chen Shimu turned his head blankly, and a pair of invisible hands immediately grabbed his neck, trying to break it.

Chen Shi was in a daze, and the golden elixir came to his neck without him noticing. He saw that his neck became thicker than his waist. The evil spirit in the dark wind only felt the golden light piercing his body, and his hands were completely festered. He immediately controlled the dark wind and fled.

A cursing voice was heard in the cold wind and soon faded away.

"Haha, hahaha!"

Chen Shi laughed, his laughter was loud but a little awkward, "I am just a country boy. What qualifications do I have to question the world? What qualifications do I have to question the true God? I am just a survivor who was threatened by Black Mountain Grandma and had to practice the True King technique."

The embarrassment disappeared from his laughter, replaced by hearty laughter.

He had no choice but to take the path of Jindan.

But as long as he embarks on this path, he will not ask right or wrong and will just keep going!
Luwei Town.

The Moon Festival is over. Although today is not a market day, the town is still bustling with people coming and going. Now is the post-disaster period and everything needs to be rebuilt. I heard that the government has also replaced a group of officials. It should have been a day to collect taxes, but no runners came, so people are happy to have some free time.

At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, turned their heads and looked in the same direction.

Several boys and girls were running around the peddler's stall holding windmills. At this time, the street suddenly became quiet.

A few kids stopped and turned to look, only to see that at the end of the street, there were dark clouds blocking the sun in the sky. Under the clouds, gray-clad rats taller than humans were lined up in two teams and walking towards this side.

The dolls opened their eyes wide, and the windmills in their hands were suddenly blown by the cold wind and started spinning wildly.

At the back of the team, eight gray-clothed mice were carrying a large sedan chair. The cold wind blew the curtains of the sedan chair, and one could vaguely see a black statue of a god sitting in the sedan chair.

"From today on, Grandma Black Mountain is the godmother of Luwei Town!"

A gray mouse jumped onto the roof and shouted, "On the first three days of every month, a grand sacrifice will be held! In the first month of every year, boys and girls will be sacrificed for grandma to enjoy! Grandma will ensure that you will have good weather and no disasters!"
