Chapter 167: New Breathing Method
Later, he became accustomed to using Huang Ling Dan to replenish his spiritual power, and also used to using Fire Ling Dan to improve his cultivation. He was even more accustomed to the feeling of quickly recovering his spiritual power.
In fact, he sometimes inhaled the surrounding spiritual energy, but that was done when the spiritual energy in his body was slightly insufficient, and the amount he inhaled was very small.
Also, during the fight, a lot of spiritual energy is consumed, and the body will naturally absorb the spiritual energy around it, but it cannot be felt at that time.
Once the fight is over, he will quickly replenish it with Huang Ling Dan. Therefore, he has never experienced the process of slowly absorbing spiritual energy after all his spiritual energy is lost.
But the feeling at this time was even more wonderful than taking Huang Ling Dan. It was like drizzle falling on the dry land, moistening it little by little, and then seeping in little by little, instead of pouring down like a sudden rain.
This situation is like drinking water. Drinking in large gulps is enjoyable, but it is easy to choke. However, drinking in small sips can quench your thirst and is less likely to choke.
Zhou Yang closed his eyes and realized it, and Xing'er also stopped crying. She wiped her tears, and when she saw Tie Hu's face full of embarrassment, her face couldn't help but blush, and she hurriedly got up and left Zhou Yang's arms.
But when Tiehu saw that Zhou Yang still didn't move, he was about to push him away, but Lin Cheng shook his head and stopped his movement. Tiehu had no choice but to continue to hold Zhou Yang and sit on the ground with great effort.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual field was richer than in other places. It entered Zhou Yang's meridians and apertures, and then converged on his Dantian. The whole process was extremely slow.
Zhou Yang stopped thinking about other things and closed his eyes to look at the direction of the spiritual energy entering his body. His meridians and acupuncture points were extremely happy, greedily sucking the spiritual energy entering his body, and then transformed it into strands of spiritual power and stored it in the spiritual sea of his Dantian.
The tingling sensation at the altar gradually disappeared, as if it had been nourished by the spiritual energy, and gradually became clearer.
This meditation lasted three days and three nights.
The one who suffered the most was Tie Hu. It was extremely uncomfortable to remain in the same position for nearly four days. Moreover, he was injured by Zhou Yang, so you can imagine the feeling.
Thanks to him entering the Lingtai realm, otherwise he couldn't bear the hunger alone. Perhaps because he was used to eating and drinking, his stomach was also protesting seriously now.
At this time, Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and dripping all over his body, like a very thirsty person who has drank enough water. He felt refreshed, full of spiritual energy, running smoothly, and his meridians and acupuncture points were full of food and drink, and he entered the
Sleep state.
Zhou Yang felt that the total amount of spiritual power at this time had increased a bit compared to before. In other words, his cultivation level had improved again.
No, if you use Huang Ling Dan to replenish your spiritual power, the total spiritual power will definitely not be as large as it is now!
Could it be that absorbing spiritual energy and breathing it out can increase your cultivation better and faster than swallowing pills? This issue must be viewed dialectically.
Just absorbing spiritual energy is too slow. As he is currently doing, it only takes three days and three nights to replenish the spiritual energy in his body. If he uses Huang Ling Dan, it will not take even an hour.
But there is a limit to the dosage of elixirs. For example, the maximum daily dosage of Fire Spirit Pill is only six pills. After realizing that there was a problem with his mood, he cut the dosage in half.
The valuable thing about the spiritual energy in the air is that it is endless, it is everywhere, and it can be absorbed at any time and anywhere. This is something that elixirs cannot compare with.
Again, everything in the world has its own destiny. Just by absorbing spiritual energy, your cultivation will grow slowly, but it has a solid foundation, is not frivolous, and has no side effects.
Although taking elixirs can increase your cultivation quickly, the shortcomings are also obvious. Just like taking Huang Ling Dan, your spiritual power will be replenished quickly, but it is a bit vain. If things go on like this, it will seem to be distracting the young people.
Absorbing spiritual energy to replenish spiritual power is much thicker.
Zhou Yang estimated that if he could hit ten rays of spiritual light in a row at present, he would be able to hit only nine rays by filling up his spiritual power with Huang Ling Dan.
Not only that, the elixir itself is not 100% pure, but contains certain impurities, especially lower-grade elixirs, which have more impurities.
If you swallow too much of the elixir, in addition to damaging the liver meridian of Zujueyin, the impurities in the elixir will slowly accumulate in the body. Over time, if they cannot be discharged in time, blockage will occur, and mana or spiritual power will not function.
If it is not smooth, it will affect your practice.
He also saw discussions on this aspect in the Ziyuan Sect books brought by Master Zhong.
Moreover, Qin Ming also said that a cultivator has to take a large amount of pills throughout his life, so there will be more and more remaining impurities. If accumulated to a certain amount, it will greatly affect the purity of mana or spiritual power, hindering the progress of cultivation.
promote.
In severe cases, it will corrode the meridians and altars, making it easy to become possessed by evil.
It is also recorded in the classics that there are two ways to resolve the side effects of long-term use of elixirs and remove impurities. One is to take two elixirs to resolve them. These two elixirs are Yepu Yin Yang Cao and Yunzhong Zi Lan, and they must be used at the same time.
It is effective only if you take it.
Zhou Yang knows about the ordinary purple orchid in the clouds and can find it. But the purple orchid in the clouds that actually grows in the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain is indeed extremely difficult to find.
And the wild cattail yin and yang grass is an ancient elixir. There are still two opinions on whether it has it in the current cultivation world.
According to reports, the same plant of Wild Pueraria yin-yang grass has leaves of two different colors. Male cultivators take the yang leaves and female cultivators take the yin leaves.
If the situation is not serious, taking a few strains of each of the two elixirs can dissolve impurities in the body. If the elixir is taken for too long, the dosage will be larger.
The second method is to soak in the Hualing Pond for seven days. After seven days, the impurities and toxins in the body will be eliminated. However, the Hualing Pond has only been found in the extreme east and west of Hezhou Continent, and has been occupied by two large sects respectively. Ordinary cultivators
You don’t even have to think about it.
Although we know that long-term use of elixirs will have side effects, no one will rely solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation. It is too slow, and life span will be exhausted before reaching a higher realm.
Ancient cultivators also tried to increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and created various methods, but the results were all unsatisfactory. Only one method has been passed down, and that is the spirit gathering array.
This array has the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can increase the concentration of spiritual energy and naturally absorb it faster than before.
But no matter how much spiritual energy there is, a person's absorption capacity is fixed. Although the speed is faster, it is still not as fast as absorbing spiritual stones directly, and the speed of absorbing spiritual stones cannot keep up with taking pills.
So later on, the ancients stopped studying the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It cannot be said that cultivators are eager for quick success, and no one will waste their longevity on slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But one thing is recognized. Even if there are enough elixirs and spiritual stones, in places with strong spiritual energy, cultivation will advance much faster than in other places. Especially when breaking through bottlenecks, the richness of spiritual energy is very critical.
.
The same is to break through the Tianyuan realm or the Golden Core realm. The richness of the spiritual energy is different, and the consequences will be different. And if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough, it will be difficult to break through, so all the sects in the world are founded in places with spiritual veins.
.
On weekdays, the main practice is to take elixirs and spiritual stones, supplemented by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But at critical moments, the sect will arrange disciples who are facing breakthroughs to practice in places with the strongest spiritual energy to increase the chances of breakthroughs.
Even when high-level cultivators break through, they will be arranged at the spiritual eye.
There is another purpose of choosing spiritual veins, which is to provide a steady stream of energy for the protective formation.
These large formations require a huge amount of spiritual energy, and spiritual stones alone are far from enough. Therefore, these large formations also need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time, and the energy reaches a certain level before they can be activated.
Zhou Yang was thinking a lot at that moment, and Tie Hu couldn't stand it anymore at first, and said with his teeth: "Little Yangzi, are you feeling better? I can't feel anything in my legs!"
Zhou Yang was stunned, and then realized that he was still sitting on his senior brother. He couldn't help but blush, smiled awkwardly, stood up in a hurry, and went to pull Tiehu on the way.
Tiehu also wanted to stand up, but when he was halfway up, he fell to the ground with a plop. His legs were really numb. Although he used his spiritual power to unblock his legs continuously for three days, he could not maintain the same posture for too long.
It's weird to be paralyzed.
"Brother, are you okay?" Zhou Yang hurriedly went to help Tiehu.
"I'll try to sit on you for three days and three nights!" Tie Hu said angrily.
"Hey, why don't you give it a try!" Zhou Yang laughed twice.
"Go away, he's going crazy now. Revenge for those who have a grudge, and complain for those who have a grudge. Let's work together to help him!"
Tiehu called out to Li Tong and Lin Cheng, and took the lead and slapped Zhou Yang on the shoulder. Zhou Yang grinned in pain. The senior brother was really cruel!
Li Tong and Xing'er naturally did not come forward, but Lin Cheng smiled and prepared to relieve his anger. But Xing'er stopped when he saw this, and said crisply to Tie Hu: "Brother Hu, let go of Xiao Yangzi, he
You just bullied him, how can you be a senior brother!"
"Okay, I haven't even hit him twice, but I protected him. I won't be able to teach him a lesson from now on. Go ahead and just stay there!" Even though he didn't hit him, Tiehu still wasn't relieved and put his foot on Zhou Yang's butt.
When Myolie Li saw it, she immediately became angry: "Tiehu, try moving again!"
"Auntie, I didn't try hard!" Tiehu smiled bitterly. With her around, he really couldn't greet little Yangzi casually like before.
Li Tong secretly laughed, while Lin Cheng was a little angry. You, Zhou Yang, are too unreasonable. You have one at home, and you still come to provoke my young lady. What the hell!
In fact, he wrongly blamed Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang had no thoughts about this at all and always regarded Xing'er as his sister.
But Xing'er didn't think so. She had never dared to show it before, and she secretly liked Yang. But after this incident, she was really afraid, afraid of losing Zhou Yang, afraid that she would never have a chance again.
Zhou Yang felt bitter in his heart. Seeing Lin Cheng's unkind expression, he naturally understood what he meant, but it was hard to explain such a thing.
Alas, Ling'er will come in a few days, what should I do?
It seems that we really need to talk to Sister Xing'er. It was hard to talk before, and Xing'er didn't express anything, but now the situation has gone beyond a certain range. If we don't explain clearly, something will happen.
