Chapter 31: The Yin Spirit Out of the Body (Please vote and read on)
"bookworm!"
Qiu Zhen was lost in thought while holding a book. When he looked up, he saw four young women appearing in the library, looking at him with smiles.
The four women wore pearls and jade on their heads, cross-collared silk shirts on their upper bodies, and embroidered skirts on their lower bodies. The skirts had horse masks on the front and back and pleats on the sides. They looked pretty and youthful.
Qiu Zhen could see that these four girls were not dressed like maids or servants, and they must be the female members of the An family who had arrived in Qingmu Town in advance.
"I am Qiu Zhen, a student of the master. I am here to borrow books. I am honored to meet you."
After some polite exchanges, Qiu Zhen put down the book in his hand, greeted a few women, and quickly left the library without staying long.
The women of the An family were here, and he was the only young man in the library, so it was not easy for him to stay for long.
The most important thing is that he has now found his chance to become an immortal and is eager to return home, so he has no mood to continue reading.
"He must be the disciple the master accepted a few days ago. He is really hardworking and studious. Hehe~ much more hardworking than those in our An family."
"What's the use of hard work? The talent is there."
"Who can say for sure, sister? Who can guarantee that he can become a congenital martial artist? Oh my, that would be extraordinary."
"It's not easy to become a congenital martial artist. Among dozens of talents like him, maybe one or two can emerge."
Qiu Zhen walked in a hurry, unaware that people were talking about him behind his back.
He was eager to return home and went straight to "Qiu Zhenju" in the mountains.
"Hey~"
Bai Zhu wagged his tail to welcome Qiu Zhen into the valley, like a dog.
"You foodie, I brought it for you."
Qiu Zhen took out a piece of cooked pork wrapped in oil paper from the bamboo basket behind him and handed it to Bai Zhu.
He had eaten wild boar meat at the pharmacy. The lean meat was very chewy and tough, so people with bad teeth couldn't eat it. However, it was more nutritious than ordinary wild boar meat.
According to the deduction of the Soul and Dharmakaya, if the meat of ferocious beasts is consumed regularly for a year, the speed at which the Five Animal Exercises accumulates Qi and blood will increase by about a quarter.
This result made him very happy.
He then hunted ferocious beasts for a long time to nourish himself, and practiced the second level of the Five Animal Exercises. After deduction, he found that it would not take more than a thousand days, but only more than eight hundred days.
In addition, the meat of ferocious beasts is valuable, and hunting ferocious beasts is easier than obtaining spiritual herbs and precious medicines.
When he had some free time these few days, he and Bai Zhu went into the mountains to hunt ferocious beasts. On the one hand, they nourished themselves, and on the other hand, they sold the beasts for money. After saving up some money, they bought a house and land in the suburbs of Qingmu City and brought their parents and eldest brother over.
In fact, if he becomes a martial arts master, he will be able to support his family.
However, without a house or land, given the personalities of Qiu's father and mother, they would definitely not leave their hometown to come and join him.
However, Qiu Zhen was not paying attention to these trivial matters at the moment. He went into the wooden house in the valley and sat cross-legged in meditation.
At first glance, the book in the An family library was an ordinary medical book, but because of the [Miro Palace] jade talisman token, the "immortal skills" in the book flew into his mind.
“No wonder Monk Kongyin said that it is hard to find immortal skills in the outside world. It’s not that they don’t exist, but that they are hidden. Even if you encounter them, you can’t find them. The jade talisman is the key to finding these immortal skills!”
Qiu was really happy.
Thanks to the An family's wealth and numerous book collections, he was able to come across this immortal fate.
"Qingwei Dan Jue" originated from the Qingwei lineage of Taoism. It practices thunder magic, advocates the unity of man and nature, takes internal training as the foundation, and is supplemented by external methods. It is a serious Taoist inheritance of the dual cultivation of sex and life.
It is said that the Qingwei Sect originated from the Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun of Qingwei Heaven, so it was named Qingwei.
"Qingwei Sitting Meditation."
Qiu Zhen's soul body sat quietly between his eyebrows, surrounded by golden runes, and began to comprehend this immortal technique.
Not long after.
Qiu Zhen was burning incense in the wooden house. He was barefoot, sitting cross-legged, with his hands clasped together, letting go of all thoughts, and concentrating his breath.
Qiu Zhen mastered the [Dan Dao Dun Fa], had a high level of comprehension, and was very good at meditation, and soon entered a deep state of meditation.
Concentrating the mind is like being in the round light of empty space before the Tai Chi chaos is formed. It is also like being in a hole of round light. All chaos is one, the body and mind do not exist, and everything is clear and bright, illuminating all directions.
Faintly.
He felt the heavenly Qi descending and the earthly Qi rising in his body, the two Qi intertwined and met in the Zhonghuang Palace, with golden writing and cloud seals clearly visible. After a long time, the golden light gradually grew larger, the golden light from the sky gate connected downwards, the lightning light from the earth gate rushed upwards, and Zhao stood in the middle, holding up the sky and stepping on the earth.
"Thunder God, you serve the heavens, receive orders from the emperor, the ancestor of wind and thunder, the abyss of rain and marshes, gather spirits and gather qi, guard my true essence, golden light and fire clouds, just like the original qi that controls thunder and golden light laws!"
Qiu Zhen pinched his fingers and chanted the mantra, breathing steadily, clenched his teeth to concentrate his mind, whipped the red dragon within, and struck the seventy-two celestial dragons above. Then the Li fire would descend and the Kan water would rise, and they would flow back and forth and gather in the Huangting, subduing his true energy and refining his evil spirits. He did this five times, a total of 365 complete Zhoutian.
I do not know how long it has been.
Qiu Zhen just felt his body become light and he was flying.
The next moment, he couldn't help but look down.
I saw that his body was still sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, motionless.
“This is an out-of-body experience!”
Qiu Zhen was well-read and had acquired some magical skills, so he immediately understood what the situation he was facing was.
The spirit and soul, to be more precise, is the "soul consciousness" or the "wandering soul".
“Huff, huff, huff~”
Just when Qiu Zhen was overjoyed, he heard a strong wind blowing in his ears, which blew his body all over the place and made him sway.
In fact, the wind in the house was not strong, just a breeze, but it made my soul feel very uncomfortable.
Qiu Zhen was not panicked. He was determined in his mind and chanted the spell.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-red energy emanated from his body and sank into his soul.
Wrapped in the blood-red Qi, his soul actually changed from illusory to somewhat solid, visible to the naked eye.
"Ouch~~"
Bai Zhu, who was guarding nearby, saw this scene and his eyes widened.
What happened? How come there are two gods at once?
"Hahaha~"
Qiu Zhen laughed out loud, extremely happy.
"Sure enough, the Yin Spirit was refined in an instant."
Just now, those "blood-red qi" were formed by the mixture of the seven souls' mental power and the body's essence.
The Yin God is the soul that a cultivator can cultivate after "laying the foundation for a hundred days" by mixing the soul consciousness in his body with the energy of the seven spirits.
The "Yin Spirit" can only be cultivated after entering the level of "refining essence into Qi", which corresponds to the level of innate martial artist.
In other words, he has now reached the level of "innate martial artist".
It can be said to be a step to the sky.
However, his "Yin God" was much weaker than the Yin God that a normal cultivator cultivated for the first time, probably only one-fifth of it.
The reason is simple. His acquired life skills only broke through the "flesh barrier", and he is still only a first-level martial artist.
In other words, only people like him who practice "Dan Dao Dun Gong" will encounter this special situation of "building the foundation for a hundred days" before completing the acquired life skills.
Afterwards, as long as he completes the five stages of his martial arts skills, namely "tendons, skin, bones, flesh and veins", his Yin Spirit will gradually solidify, between reality and illusion, and will be no different from an ordinary cultivator.
"A little half Yin God is still a Yin God."
Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, feeling quite satisfied.
There is a world of difference between a cultivator who has cultivated the "Yin Spirit" and a cultivator who has only cultivated the "Soul Consciousness", just like an acquired martial artist facing an innate martial artist.
When fighting with others, he may not be able to fight for too long because of his poor sustainability, but it is enough for him to be strong enough. He can practice one or two powerful spells to blow up the small foe and ferocious beasts of the acquired martial arts masters, and he can still do it with his hands.
Qiu Zhen's Yin spirit returned to his shell and he took out the jade token of [Miro Palace] from his arms.
The "immortal energy" that flew out of the medical book in the library first flew into his mind, and then flew into the Miluo Palace after he comprehended the method of "sitting in silence".
“I wonder if there are any powerful thunder magic abilities in the Qingwei Dan Jue.”
