Chapter 99 Dissolution
Chapter 99 Dissolution (Second update at am)
Li Wuxiang slept little, so he rarely felt bored during the day.
He first cleaned the eagle cage, fed the eagle some jerky and water, and slowly read a thin booklet given by the store on how to raise an eagle.
He had been planning to write a letter to Xue Baoping, but Cheng Peixin didn't invite the door god down last night, so he decided to wait a little longer, until everything was settled, and then think about what to say to her more.
He was originally a little worried about Xue Baoping's safety. But these days he has roughly understood that if an ordinary Jianghu cultivator went to a place like Jinshui, he would not get any benefits. The Jianghu cultivators in this world are roughly equivalent to the gunmen from where he came from, some stronger and some weaker.
Xue Baoping should live near Chen Xin's home. Zeng Jianqiu passed on another set of cultivation methods to her, and never mentioned "not to pass it on to others". She should pass it on to Chen Xin. I wonder if Brother Zeng has thought about this to make up for the regret of the master-disciple relationship.
If Chen Xin learns, he should also select some people from the town soldiers to learn. If ordinary Jianghu cultivators go there, let alone whether they can get any benefits, they should be thankful if they are not bullied by them.
As for other hidden families, sects, both large and small, they probably don't look down on places like Jinshui. From this perspective, being small actually has its advantages, and staying there is much more peaceful than staying in Deyang.
What's more, he arrived in Deyang City yesterday and caused two incidents in one day. This greatly attracted firepower and attention and provided another layer of protection.
So in the following days, he decided not to be too out-of-the-box, so as to avoid provoking some powerful people to think, "That guy is so popular, I should go meet him."
So he began to meditate and work hard. In fact, from the time when the sky was slightly bright, he could feel the power of his vows flowing into his body bit by bit. By this time, it was growing rapidly, from a few drops to a drizzle. More and more people in the city saw the strange vision in the Wu Temple and regarded it as the real Taiyi appearing to punish evil.
The practice method of the True Immortal Body Dao chapter is more complicated than that of the Embracing the Dew and the Clouds chapter.
In the Qi training method of the Huai Lu Bao Xia chapter, there is only one stage - after the foundation is established, the innate Qi is leak-free, so while the body generates its own essence, it absorbs spiritual energy from the outside of the body through breathing and transforms it into essence. Then, through the operation of the exercises, the essence is processed in the meridians and internal organs, and transformed into the innate Qi of the same nature as the original Qi that people have when they are born.
But this process is only the first step in the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter.
The Qi refining in the True Immortal Body Dao chapter is divided into three small realms: "refining essence into Qi", "refining Qi into spirit", and "refining spirit into emptiness".
While the thirty-six sects' skills have reached the peak of Qi Refining and can form a pill, the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter has only just entered the realm of "refining Qi into spirit" - at this stage, the innate Qi that is filled to the point where it can no longer be contained in the body is refined into the soul, or the primordial spirit. When this step is completed, it reaches the realm of "refining spirit into emptiness", which is to refine the entire primordial spirit into an existence similar to the innate Qi, and then use this "Qi" to form a golden pill.
When talking about this, Zeng Jianqiu once said that the thirty-six sects' methods were all "fake pills", and only the sword sect's method was the real "golden pill". The six mysterious sects liked to say that the thirty-six sects' methods were unorthodox, but in his opinion, this was not bad at all, because this method was originally a shortcut that some practitioners with poor qualifications thought up in ancient times for quick success and instant benefits. The difference between fake pills and golden pills was almost the same as that between ghost immortals and real immortals.
From this perspective, it is not that the Sword Sect's methods are too slow, but that the methods of the Thirty-Six Sects are too fast. No wonder the Sword Sect can survive the siege of the Six Sects and still dominate the martial arts world with few rivals. Although it was very easy at the beginning, Li Wuxiang did not understand the deep meaning and principles of it in detail. But now, he is slowly becoming interested in the practice itself.
Using his previous life's thinking, this process was very much like slowly transforming his own body, making it an efficient tool that could transform all spiritual energy and the power of incense and vows into innate Qi. And the exercises were like an operating skill. The Sword Sect's was the most complex and sophisticated among the thirty-six sects. Its production process was the slowest, but the output quality was the highest.
Once you have an interest, you won't feel bored when doing things. Li Wuxiang sat quietly and transformed his energy. Once he entered into a state of concentration, he would practice for a whole day. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the light in the room was the same as when he entered into concentration. It was already dusk.
He got out of bed and read the classic books borrowed from Cheng Peixin in the dark for a while to learn some common sense about cultivation in this world, and then it was midnight again.
Cheng Shengfei knocked on the door, and the three of them went to the backyard together. Cheng Peixin put on her robes again and said that Li Wuxiang had killed the monster in Taiyi Temple last night, and it should be possible today. Because at this time, the wild gods in the nearby Lingshan would be more or less afraid and would not scramble to come to the living world.
When she performed the technique again, it was indeed the same. After about a quarter of an hour, when she had transformed into the forms of several animal spirits, the yard suddenly became quiet, and even the night wind stopped.
The child in the utility room should know that he is here to earn money for the family. Although he is young, he is very well-behaved. These days, he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates in the room. When Cheng Peixin and Cheng Shengfei talk to him, he kneels down respectfully to answer. When no one talks to him, he eats and drinks by himself. When he is full, he lies in the small paper coffin without moving - because at home, he has to work hard at his age. Now he has food and drink, and he can lie down to rest after eating and drinking. He feels very happy.
When Cheng Peixin was performing the ritual just now, the child was half-sitting in the paper coffin. When the wind outside stopped, his face suddenly froze, and he fell down with a thud, straight as a wooden sculpture.
As he fell, Li Wuxiang heard the sounds in the utility room. The noises were loud and small, very similar to what he heard outside the yard last night. Not only the sounds, but also the entire dim room, became unclear all of a sudden, as if there was an even more unknown and secret world hidden in the dark light and shadow. When he concentrated his mind to see clearly, he only felt that there were layers upon layers in the darkness. Soon, his eyes became blurry and he felt as if he was about to fall.
He quickly took a step to the side, only to find that his previous condition was more like he had turned many circles in one breath and was a little dizzy.
Cheng Peixin wiped her face with a handkerchief and whispered, "The true spirit of the door god has been invited down, and now this room is suppressed by the door god. Daoist friend, do you remember that this door god is pasted upside down? Ordinary people paste the door god upright to protect the people inside. In this room, it is pasted upside down to protect the outside. Because now this room is connected to the sacred mountain, this child is like a person who is neither alive nor dead. He has replaced Xu Daosheng this time, and after the first seven days, it will be Xu Daosheng who has gone to the netherworld. And his real soul has become ownerless, and he can neither be a wild ghost nor a ghost fairy. Moreover, there is no such person in the netherworld, so the True Form Dao cannot capture his soul."
Li Wuxiang let out a sigh of relief: "The master's methods are truly miraculous, and incredible. But what about the child inside? Does he have to lie like this for seven days?"
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry about this. First, children like this are used to being hungry. Second, he has eaten and drunk a lot in the past two days. Third, he will grow one year older in these seven days. If he loses his yang life span, his qi and blood will be very strong in the next few days, so he will be fine."
She smiled and said, "Next, fellow Daoist, just wait patiently. After five days, Xu Daosheng's soul will dissipate and there will be no more trouble."
