When the wine fairy saw Gu Yu looking at him in confusion, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Good disciple, this is the realm of cultivation. Your current realm should belong to the Qi Refining Stage. There are twelve stages in the Qi Refining Stage. Because of taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, you should have reached the third stage of Qi Refining Stage to feel the Qi!"

Gu Yuleng was stunned and said, "The twelve realms of Qi refining? Feeling Qi? I know this. In previous novels, it has been said that as long as you break through the twelve realms of Qi refining, you can successfully build a foundation. At that time, you will be a true immortal cultivator, right?"

The wine fairy smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the foundation-building stage is the dividing ridge between immortal cultivators and mortals. Then you will be able to truly understand the mystery of the realm of immortal cultivating!"

Gu Yu smiled, touched his nose and said, "Master, how should I feel angry and how to improve my realm?"

The wine fairy drank a sip of wine and blinked and said, "This Qi refining is also called Qi refining. Its essence refers to the practitioners who mainly Taoist cultivators refine the water and grain essence absorbed by the human body from food, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the external universe, or the true yang qi in the emptiness through breathing and exhaling qi and other means to refine it into the internal energy, true qi, and true essence in the body. Furthermore, the human body has innate qi, which passes through the meridians of the human body and transports life energy to the five internal organs and brains. The exhaustion of the innate qi is the end of life."

As he said that, the Wine Fairy glanced at Gu Yu who was thinking, and smiled and continued, "So, cultivators refining Qi is to absorb external energy and cultivate true power to replenish the innate qi consumed by the human body during operation. In this way, the innate qi will continue to flow and the human body will be born. This checking of inspiration qi is to allow the Qi Refiners to perceive the innate qi contained in the body through means such as breathing and pursuing qi, and then through exercise, make the qi stronger. But you should have some feelings in the past two days." As he said that, he looked at Gu Yu with deep meaning!

Gu Yu scratched his head and asked, "Master, what is the qi? How can this qi behave?"

Jiuxian smiled with satisfaction and said, "You have come to the point. This qi is also called "suspect Qi", "eating Qi" and "refining Qi". One of the early Taoist practice techniques. It refers to a health-preserving internal cultivation method that mainly breathes and breathing, but is often supplemented by guidance and massage. It is generally divided into two categories: external breathing and internal breathing methods. The focus is on using my heart to make my qi nourish my body, attack my disease, and thus prolong my life. I practice Taoism, pay attention to the effect of Qi on the human body. From heaven and earth to all things, all qi needs to be born. "Su Sheng Zhuanlu·Dou Qi" says, "When a person is in the qi, the qi gathers, and the qi dies." The Taiping Jing says, "If a person wants to live, he should love Qi, respect the spirit, and value essence," and "Therefore, the superiors should first eat Qi."

As he said that, he drank a sip of mellow wine and continued, "The Outer Pill School attaches importance to taking pills to enhance true power, but Ge Hong, a great practitioner of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, also believed that 'although taking medicine is the basis of immortality, if you can also practice qi, the benefit will be very fast. If you cannot get medicine, but practice qi and do your best, you will be hundreds of years old.' You have taken the foundation-building pill before, but the medicine has not yet been dissolved. If you breathe and carry qi together, the speed of your practice will be faster!"

"As for the method of qi circulation, there are many methods of qi circulation in the world, and the specific procedures are different, and the principles are roughly the same. We generally follow the method of breathing in the Qingcheng School. We require that when qi circulation, concentrate the mind and clean the mind, concentrate the qi and make it soft, breathing and breathing, be light, slow, even, long, deep. Light, breathing light and thin; slow, breathing in and out, soothe the rhythm of breathing; even, the breathing rhythm is regular, sometimes thick and thin; long, the breathing interval is long, lead the qi into the nose and close it, and count the yin with the heart, 30-50-120, Fangxu

Slowly exhale it; when holding your breath, it will penetrate into the viscera and lung meridians and penetrate deep into the tissue. After long-term refining, you can reach the best state of qi without entering and leaving the nose. For example, when a baby is in the mother and fetus, it is called "fetal breathing". The qi is also supplemented by guidance and massage. Guidance means using force to urge the limbs, performing pitch, flexion and extension movements, and "guiding the qi to make it harmonious, pulling the body to make it soft". Massage means using massage, pinching, pushing, and rubbing to act on the meridian points of the human body, so as to stretch the muscles and circulating the blood vessels, so that the qi can be more effective."

As the wine fairy spoke, she began to guide the method of ancient Yu and Gu Yu to carry out qi.

"Taoist practice ultimately requires cultivating the inner essence, qi, and spirit. Therefore, external postures and movements are not important. We only want to be able to be upright and comfortable and natural. However, at the beginning of qi refining, we must sit cross-legged, adjust the breath, pinch Ziwu, and do not think about anything. I have the method and key to sitting in and out of the body, you have to remember it!"

As he said that, he looked at Gu Yu and stroked his beard and said: "For the first time, practice static movement, the whole body should relax, the inside and outside of the body should be closed, and the tongue should be closed to the Tianchi Pediatric Pediatrics and the body will be born. Deep, slender, evenly regulate breathing, and calm the mind and stop the mind. The body and mind are forgotten, and the body and spirit are both wonderful and joyful. Pinch Ziwu, eliminate distracting thoughts, and the ancestral qi will appear at the entrance. The face is like an ant climbing the dantian warms, and the mouth is filled with saliva and swallowing. Get off the seat and brush your face to relax your muscles and rumble it all over your body. Building the foundation and refining yourself depends on this, and the static is extreme and the movement is yang appears. This is the method of sitting exercise. You must remember it!"

Seeing Gu Yu frowned, he couldn't help but nodded, and continued, "The key to sitting is to sit cross-legged, divide the yin and yang of your feet, pinch Ziwu with your hands, look down on the curtains of your eyes, look down on the nose, and look down on the heart. Close your mouth and hide your tongue, press your tongue against the upper palate, breathe continuously, and slightly descend to the Dantian. The mind and mind guard the ancestral orifices, the three flowers gather at the top of the autumn moon. Get off the seat and brush your face and iron your eyes, rub your whole body and you will rub it. Stretch your arms and waist to relax your muscles and qi, and the static is extremely strong, and the yang appears."

Seeing Gu Yu frowning tighter, Jiuxian smiled slightly and said, "As long as you remember the mental methods and key methods of meditation and practice according to the mental methods and key methods, it will be no problem to build the foundation!"

Gu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, I remember this, but how do I do it? How to cross my head, how to divide Yin and Yang, how to pinch Ziwu with your hands?"

The wine fairy laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't understand the truth, okay, I'll teach you this!" As she said that, she crossed her legs and sat down like a rock!

But he said softly: "There are single cross-legged, double cross-legged, and five hearts facing the sky. Beginners can use natural single cross-legged, not force them. The so-called upright sitting means that the upper body is naturally upright, not leaning forward and backward, and the Baihui forms a vertical line with the perineum, but be sure to relax and naturally. It is important to know that relaxation will make the qi smooth and the meridians will be comfortable; stiffness will make the qi stagnant, which will hinder the circulation of qi and blood. Only when the whole body is relaxed inside and outside can we create conditions for entering tranquility. I am single cross-legged, so you can learn to take a look!"

Gu Yu followed the wine fairy's plate method and crossed his legs. This plate suddenly felt a sense of comfort in his whole body, and his breath seemed to be much smoother: "Master, this..."

Jiuxian smiled slightly and seemed to understand what Gu Yu was thinking: "There is a reason why he should sit cross-legged. Because there are many acupuncture points on his feet and the meridians are complicated. If he sits cross-legged, the true power of his body passes through Baihui to the Yongquan point at the bottom of his feet. The cycle of a circle is smoother than standing and practicing faster. This is why most practitioners sit cross-legged and meditated at the beginning of their practice!"

Gu Yu nodded slightly and said, "How to divide Yin and Yang, how to pinch Ziwu with your hands?"

"When you are cross-legged, the left foot belongs to the yang outside, and the right foot belongs to the yin inside, which means Yang hugs Yin, but not absolute. If you feel uncomfortable, you can change it. Don't be too rigid about this. As for pinching Ziwu with your hands, pinching Ziwu with your left thumb, and pinching the middle finger of your left hand. The big thumb of your right hand enters the left hand and pinching the Zi position at the root of the ring finger of your left hand, and holding both hands in the lower abdomen. This is Yin hugging Yang. But pinching Ziwu does not mean pinching the tips and chanting mantras. Because the two meridians of Ziwu are connected to the cun, Guan, Zi, and Cun, Guan, and Zi are connected to the heart and the brain. Pinning Ziwu is to reduce the power of arteries to bump into the heart, so that they can cause less distracting thoughts, and help to enter tranquility. The Dan Jing says, "The hands and feet are connected in a row, and the four doors are closed tightly to keep the center" is this principle."

"As for the two eyes hanging down the curtain, the eyes looking at the tip of the nose, the mind will be calm. The two eyes looking at the nose together, the moving thinking can calm down, and the complex thoughts can be calmed down. The eyes looking at the nose but the heart is not in the nose, and from the observation, we can forget to observe, and the appearance of the shape is not in the shape. The so-called observation of the heart is to slightly retract the lower jaw, straighten the throat tubes, and breathe naturally smoothly. The upper palate is the Tianchi point, which is about a depression in the upper teeth. When the mouth is chanted "er", the point where the tip of the tongue touches. Close the Tianchi is, on the one hand, to open the

Xuanying makes the true breath flow smoothly; on the other hand, it is to keep your mouth closed to prevent damage to the true qi. In addition, there are two points under the root of the tongue, the Jinjing on the left and the Shiquan on the right, and it is easy to produce fluid. Sitting in meditation often fills the mouth with body fluid and has a clear and sweet feeling. At this time, use the swallowing method to swallow the body fluid into the abdomen. That is, the tongue is pressed on the upper palate and does not move, suck the body fluid to the root of the tongue, and when it is about to choke, it leads to swallow it. In this way, it can be directly into the Ren meridian and transformed into **. This is a shortcut to create essence and a wonderful way to exercise."

"Breathing is scattered, slightly lowered, regulating breathing, and also called regulating breathing, which is an important part of the initial tranquility. Since you are closing your mouth when working, you must breathe with your nose, which requires deep, thin, long, and even. Whether it is in a smooth or reverse breathing, you must breathe in an abdominal manner so that you can't even hear the sound of breathing. Long means stretching your breathing, returning to the roots, lowering your dantian, not holding your breath, relaxing and natural. Even, that is, even speed, evenly, keeping your mind and breathing in harmony, and reaching the irregular breathing and self-regulating. Even when you reach the extreme of emptiness and keeping quiet, you will have sudden breathing. Beginners should use natural breathing. Breathing is scattered, deep, thin, long, and even, which can expand lung capacity, promote and strengthen the functions of various parts of the internal organs, and especially have more significant effects on the digestive system."

"The ancestral orifice is in the center of the two eyes. It is a secret that the ancestors of the past scriptures did not record and were secretly passed down by ancestors of all generations. This orifice is the gateway for the enlightenment of the mind and nature, a pillar that locks the mind and horses, and is also a ladder to prolong life. First, guard this orifice first. With eyes, look at this orifice with both eyes; keep the ears in a rhythm, and listen to this orifice with both ears. Only by guarding the ancestral orifice can the ever-changing activity and thoughts be quiet. Go ahead and keep your mind calm, your body is like dead wood, your mind is like water, your mind is like cold ashes, and you cannot have a thought. When you return to the center, everything is silent, your body and mind are forgotten, and you will be stunned.

I was vague and ignorant. At this time, I felt a current roaring on my body, like an electric shock, my whole body was numb, and my comfort was wonderful. This is the wonderful body and spirit, which was in it. After this scene, I felt my eyes bright and my heart bright, my spirit refreshed, and my spirit was excited. If I could get five minutes of true tranquility, I could eliminate my fatigue for a day. If I could persist in sitting exercises every day, even if I couldn’t get true tranquility, I would sometimes feel sweaty on my hands and feet, my dantian was warm, my face was like an ant, and my head was cyclone. These phenomena are all the gains of sitting exercises. Over time, my ancestral qi was cultivated and my natural entrance appeared."

"Three flowers are essence flowers, Qi flowers, and divine flowers. Only when the essence and Qi spirit are cultivated can the three flowers gather in the top of the autumn moon. The autumn moon is the mystical gate. The mystical gate and the ancestral orifice are both secrets that the Taoist three people in the past and the six ears do not tell them. The mystical gate and the ancestral orifice are often connected together. In fact, the mystical gate is the mystical gate, and the ancestral orifice is the ancestral orifice. It can be said that the ancestral orifice is the gate that comes from the mystical gate. The mystical gate is not on the body, and the ancestral orifice is not outside the body. The mystical gate is a mysterious mechanism, not on the body, and it is difficult to find it. This mystical gate is the acupoint of life and death, the root of Wuji, and the mother of Taiji is the innate true qi of the parents before they were born. By seeking tranquility in mind, the tranquility moves when the qi is released, the qi is collected, and the essence and qi are activated. If the essence moves, the qi starts to refine the essence and turn the brain to nourish the spirit. When the essence is full, a round light appears in front of the eyes. This is the mystical gate, also known as wisdom light, divine light, and spiritual light."

"After sitting, rub your hands and cover your eyes while it's hot. After dissipating, your hands suddenly separate to both sides. Open your eyes with three to five times, then turn your eyes left and right for 9 weeks. Always persist, not only keep your eyes flexible and not eye diseases, but also keep your brain qi tendons unobstructed and your eyes free from blurring. Rub your face with both hands to rub your cheeks to moisten your face and delay wrinkles and age spots."

"Dry rubbing the whole body, also known as dry bathing, is a very effective fitness method. Immediately after brushing the face and ironing the eyes, rub your hands from the head, then from the forehead, temples, Yingxiang, front and back of the ears, brain, cerebellum, Fengchi, Fengfu, inside and outside of the arms to the back of both hands, and then from the chest, lungs, two sides of the lower abdomen, navel, waist, eyes, outer and inner sides of the legs, knees, soles of the feet. When rubbing both hands, you must rub and heat, and finally rub the testicles. The above points are best used to restrict them to avoid engaging in the spots. If you can persist in dry bathing, you will definitely have unexpected effects. The key points are the nose, neck, waist, testicles, and tail callus. After rubbing, relax the muscles and qi."

"After drying Mu Yu, she still sits on the bed, sits upright with her upper body, straighten her legs, presses her tongue against the upper palate, then leans back, and stretches upwards. At the same time, inhale your nose, look up at both eyes, stretches your toes, stretches your heels, and lies on the whole body on the bed. Then, sits up from your back, leans your head toward both knees, and hits the Yongquan point with both eyes, look down, exhale your nose, hooks your toes inwards, and pushes forward. This way, it will be repeated seven times. This method has the functions of relaxing muscles and flexing the muscles, extending the waist and increasing strength, stretching the muscles and waist, strengthening the lungs and strengthening the stomach, lifting the heels, and nourishing the brain. Concentrating the mind and seeking tranquility is also for seeking movement. This movement is through persistent efforts and frequent quietness, and the brain can be achieved through sitting and quietness.

With sufficient care, over time, the brain and qi cells are becoming more and more abundant, the body is becoming stronger, the face is becoming more and more rosy, and the mental outlook is almost full of youth. Of course, due to different ages, different physical strengths, diligence and diligence in hard work, the degree of tranquility will inevitably vary greatly in each person's progress. Although everyone has a difference in progress, the mind and body that gets from tranquility will have the same feeling. Extremely quiet is when sitting in meditation, the external yang arises on the premise that there is no distracting thoughts in my heart, which is the time for living. At this time, before the thoughts arise, use the method of replacing the Qi-receiving Dragon to bring this precious treasure of the initial resting of peace and me."
