Chapter 541: Refining the Void and Combining the Dao
"Brother Qing, do you mean that this Holy Grail Fruit Tree is a carnivorous plant like the pitcher plant?" Wang Sheng shuddered. If it weren't for the warm water in the bottle that made his whole body warm, he would have wanted to jump up.
"It's really similar."
Tang San also knew about pitcher plants, and nodded slightly, but——
"No Abyssian should be preyed upon by this 'plant', and you and I both have very sharp perceptions. This water does contain many ingredients that are beneficial to the human body, and can even strengthen the blood and improve the spirit."
"That's it."
Zhou Qing naturally felt this, but there is no free lunch in the world, especially for creatures in nature, everything is circulating and interacting.
Therefore, during the process of soaking in the hot spring, Zhou Qing was certain that something in their bodies must have been "exchanged" by the water.
But he didn't feel like he was missing anything. Instead, his whole body felt a lot more relaxed, and even his soul power seemed to become more condensed.
The moment he lifted his arm from the hot spring, Zhou Qing looked at his white jade-like arm, and was slightly stunned. Then his eyes focused, and he activated the Xiantian Neijing Diagram, strengthened his mental power, and sensed it carefully. Then he laughed and said, "I know!"
"Know what?"
Tang San and Wang Sheng looked at each other and asked hurriedly.
"What is poison to others is honey to me!"
Zhou Qing swam to the mouth of the bottle, raised his arms, and tried to pull himself up. He asked, "Look at the top of my neck, and then look at my lower body. What's the difference?"
"It seems to be cleaner?" Wang Sheng was a little confused.
"Wash your tendons and marrow!"
Tang San's blue eyes flashed a purple light, and he saw the difference in the skin above and below Zhou Qing's neck.
But how do you explain “his arsenic”?
"The filth that comes out of the marrow and tendons is harmful to the human body, but for this plant, it may be the best fertilizer!"
Zhou Qing no longer kept the secret and told his thoughts, "Similarly, the plants on the third floor are also using the sunlight to heat the water and expel the 'impurities' in their bodies. These impurities are why this spring water can be used as a natural medicinal bath!"
"Just like a person who has his tendons and marrow cleansed needs to use clean water to wash away the dirt on the surface of his body, this plant also needs to 'wash away' the toxins and impurities in its body that are harmful to it after it has expelled them."
"But it has no hands or feet, and it can't become a soul beast. How can it wash away these impurities?"
Need help from other creatures!
people!
Suddenly, Tang San and Wang Sheng both thought of the answer!
When people soak in the hot spring on the tree, their bones and marrow will be cleansed at an extremely slow speed. The impurities accumulated in the body will enter the hot spring and then be absorbed by the inner wall of the plant that contains the hot spring. The "impurities" released by the plant have the effect of strengthening the body's foundation.
This is a win-win situation for plants and people!
"Nature is truly magical!" Wang Sheng exclaimed.
"Everything is circulating and interacting. Everything we do, whether it's invention or cultivation, is actually learning from nature, just like using the eight extraordinary meridians to build the human body's martial arts soul furnace, using the human body's aura to perceive the natural aura, and opening up the inner world, etc., all of which are the same." Zhou Qing smiled, "I have a hunch that the ultimate goal of cultivation is to allow us to circulate and interact with everything in the world, and to maintain self-awareness, so that both ourselves and the world can move towards a more perfect direction."
【Refine the Void and unite the Dao! 】
Such a word popped up in Tang San's mind.
Xuan Tian Gong is a Taoist practice, so naturally there are also theories about refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Tao. It's just that the description in the book is very mysterious. Although Tang Clan practiced Taoist exercises in his previous life, they were vague about the various Taoist terms. Even the various Taoist sects had their own code words, slang, and even metaphors, so that he only understood refining essence into Qi, and refining Qi into spirit - that is, the cultivation of internal strength and mental strength.
But as for the latter two, I am a little confused.
But now, after hearing what Zhou Qing said, I seemed to suddenly understand!
The latter two are not about constantly improving internal strength and spirit!
Among them, refining the spirit and returning to emptiness is to construct Zhou Qing's "Wuding Soul Furnace" theory based on the eight extraordinary meridians, so that the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit can circulate.
And to refine the void and merge with the Dao is to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth, to have a real and deeper communication with heaven and earth, and then to open up the inner world based on the Wu Ding Soul Furnace!
The Daoist Golden Elixir, the "elixir" in the elixir method, as long as it is not to refine external elixirs such as plants, metals and stones, in the practice of inner elixir, it is also a metaphor! Rather than really using the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to cultivate an inner elixir in the dantian! It should be a human being! The same as heaven and earth!
In this way, once this "golden elixir" is refined, others cannot take it away unless they swallow you whole, and you yourself will also be immortal!
The humans of Douluo Continent are blessed with the ability to awaken their martial spirits, which is equivalent to everyone being born with a magical weapon embryo!
[No wonder Brother Qing said that after opening up the inner world, it seems that one can live forever, and that old poison creature also has a lifespan of ten thousand years. So this is the golden elixir road! ]
With this thought, Tang San suddenly realized and admired Zhou Qing even more.
Being able to explain the essence of cultivation with such a straightforward metaphor, isn't it much more concise and clear than those in previous lives who deliberately described the concept of cultivation in a confusing way, even leading many descendants of martial arts sects to truly believe that the practice of alchemy is to use the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to cultivate an "inner elixir" in the body?
"Brother Qing, since this hot spring has such an effect, there should be a lot of talented people gathered here. Why are there so few people?" Wang Sheng asked again.
"Perhaps it is a bit too extravagant for the people of Abyss to fight against the third level of the ascending curse just to take a bath."
Zhou Qing thought about it and guessed, "If these plants grow on the first floor, many people would be willing to come down, and even the mayor of Tianming City would try every means to control the first floor. But this is the third floor, and the ascending curse is much more serious than the first and second floors. It is impossible to develop it on a large scale, not to mention that the second floor is guarded by Odin."
rustle!
At this moment, the leaves outside made a sound, and then a pair of round brown-gray claws stretched out.
"Someone's here."
Then a round, furry, brown-gray face poked its head in.
This "person" was about the same height as Rico, with brown-gray fur all over his body, and long fluffy gray hair that draped behind him like a cloak. He wore a blue-gray hat on his head with the sides cut open, and a pair of long rabbit ears standing up. He wore a pair of round gray-red trousers on his lower body.
It looks like a girl, but her upper body is naked... It's just because of the grayish-white fur, so -
It can't be considered nudity.
This is the real bunny girl!
