Just when Deacon Qiu was furious and wanted to send disciples from the outer courtyard to arrest Li Wan, Li Wan had already arrived in a small town a hundred miles away.

Because he had plenty of money, after Li Wan came down from the mountain, he met a traveler on horseback on the road. He immediately made an urgent excuse and bought it for several times the price. Then he rode his horse for hundreds of miles in one breath and finally arrived at the end of the road.

Stopped at a remote intersection.

Li Wan didn't tie up his horse, and deliberately let passers-by take him. He climbed over the mountain again, and it took him two days to get here.

It was only then that Li Wan had the time to check what he had gained that day, but found that the secrets of the martial arts were just ordinary martial arts, and their value was not as great as imagined. Instead, the Five Elements Spiritual Energy was the real treasure.

Li Wan was thinking about refining it as soon as possible so that he could enter the Qi refining realm.

The path begins with Qi refining. Only by reaching this step can one open up a spiritual field in the body, transcend the mortal world, and become a Taoist practitioner and a Qi refining monk.

From then on, the body's vitality will be full and vitality will never stop, and both physical strength and endurance will grow dramatically.

Moreover, when ordinary people, soldiers and civilians travel around the world, they need to be guided and controlled by the government. Even bandits, water bandits, and jungle beasts from all walks of life will become obstacles and cause many inconveniences. But after becoming a member of Xuanmen,

These worldly restrictions will be reduced to a minimum, which will be of great benefit to the next trip.

However, Li Wan had been on the road a lot, so his physical strength and energy were not in the best condition. Moreover, he was surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges, and he was afraid of being infested by snakes, insects and wild beasts. It was only then that he opened an upper room in the town inn.

, eat and drink enough, keep your spirits up, and be fully prepared.

"it's time……"

That night, Li Wan sat cross-legged in the room and began to refine the Five Elements Spiritual Qi.

He opened his mouth and sucked in, swallowing the spirit energy that was like water droplets and gel fat balls into his belly, and then used his kung fu to refine it.

As soon as the five elements spiritual energy enters the abdomen, it immediately turns into air currents with different sensations, spreading throughout the limbs and bones, and the whole body.

As if he had drunk strong alcohol, his whole body began to radiate heat, the pores all over his body opened, his meridians flowed smoothly, and his qi and blood became extremely active.

Soon after, Li Wan felt as if he was soaking in a pool of warm spring water, his whole body was soft and extremely comfortable.

Under the urging of this warm feeling, strange power surged out of many acupuncture points all over his body, traveling all over the place, and finally gathered three inches below his lower abdomen, where the Dantian Qi sea is located.

There seems to be a mysterious area opening up on the body. Five groups of air currents with different feelings flow slowly along the Dantian Qi sea. Passing through this place, it becomes slower and slower, but they are connected and integrated with each other, but they seem to contain the most important things between heaven and earth.

The most profound principles, the five elements of life and transformation, and the vitality of all things are all contained in it.

This is the fusion of Lingqi in one place in the body, combining with the Dantian that is already present in the body.

It is like a spring that continuously gushes out vital energy, and these vital energies are of different natures and contain the virtues of the five elements in the world. Under the stimulation of the five elements' biochemistry, they gradually transform into a brand new force.

This power is extremely pure and pure. It is neither among the five elements, nor is it a property of yin and yang. It is not formed after tomorrow, but is called the ultimate qi.

First, it is the evolution of Tao. As the saying goes, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives rise to all things. The beginning and end of Qi here also represents the starting point of the Tao.

Since then, Li Wan's Dantian has been transformed into a spiritual field, possessing the characteristics of the Five Elements circulating and flowing endlessly. No matter what kind of acquired power he inhales, he can slowly grind it through the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, and then use the techniques he cultivates to transform it into

First it is true, then it changes from one to two, and from two to three, until it reaches the perfect number.

This process is called Qi refining.

After cultivating a trace of innate true essence through the flow of spiritual energy in the spiritual field, Li Wan suddenly felt that the world seemed to be a little different.

The heat in the whole body persists, like a warm air current flowing throughout the body. Under the guidance of this air current, my ears and eyes are sharp, my senses are sensitive, and my body bones seem to be much lighter.

In just less than half an hour, my whole mental temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes, like a new life.

Li Wan stood up and punched in the air.

Bang bang bang!

A series of explosions came out, which was due to the greatly increased power of his fists, causing a sound.

Under the candlelight, the arm seemed to turn into countless afterimages, and its speed became extremely fast.

And he could clearly feel that his Qi had become longer and more profound.

"The rumors are indeed true. In the past, I practiced the techniques taught by Zhengqimen to a perfect state, but those techniques were just ordinary internal martial arts. If I practice them for another hundred years, I can strengthen my body and prolong my life.

How can such an effect be achieved?"

After opening up the spiritual field, cultivating the innate true essence, a trace of earthly aura appeared faintly on the body. In looking forward to it, there was a hidden divine light, which was essentially different from the mortal life.

This step is the smooth road to heaven.

Li Wan's long-cherished wish finally came true. On the surface, Li Wan didn't feel too happy, but in fact, she was extremely excited.

He took a long stretch, stood up, and found that it was already late at night, and everything around him was silent and seemed extremely peaceful.

At this time, Li Wan felt a little hungry in his belly, so he went to the table and poured a pot of cold water, and ate the dry food he brought with him. However, even after eating several large cakes, he still felt unbearably hungry. He couldn't help but think of the people in Xuanmen.

various legends.

"When I reach the Qi Refining Realm, the innate true energy nourishes the physical body, and the mortal body will also undergo radical changes. Ordinary food can no longer meet my needs. It seems that I have to find a way to get some elixirs that nourish the vitality, as well as refining.

The spiritual jade needed for Qi...the four treasures of cultivation, the law of wealth and the land, the word wealth ranks first."

After eating all the dry food for three days in a row, Li Wan fell asleep contentedly. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning the next day. He was already full of energy and energy, and his whole body seemed to have an inexhaustible energy.

He went downstairs and gave the waiter a piece of silver, asked him about the locations of various shops along the food, clothing and transportation routes, and prepared to inquire about the situation in nearby towns, then left the inn and flew away.

***

At noon, Li Wan had lunch and sat in the room drinking tea while thinking.

"Where should we go next?"

Ordinary mortals work hard every day just for their livelihood and wealth. If they are more ambitious, they can be granted titles as marquises, ministers, and leave their names in history.

In fact, the monks are similar, but the goals they want to achieve are longevity and freedom, and obtaining various opportunities for enlightenment, or those who are deeply concerned about the sect and consider the rise and fall of each sect and the inheritance of the Taoism.

No matter whether you practice hard in seclusion, travel around the world, or do anything, you cannot do without these things. If a true monk has no desires and desires, then what is the point of practicing?

Li Wan's thinking is very clear now. He knows that after leaving the Zhengqi Sect, the first thing he has to consider is to make a living, and then he can practice to become stronger and live his own life. As for the future, he can think about it slowly.

As for making a living, there are two ways to make a living: switching to another sect and becoming a casual cultivator. The former is similar to the one in the Zhengqi Sect, it just changes the environment, while the latter completely changes the past way of life.

"Becoming a disciple of a sect, in the early stage of cultivation, you are just a pawn. You must obey the orders of your master and abide by the rules and precepts of the sect. This is the fate of the disciples of the sect, and it is also the price of receiving protection and support from the sect."

"As a casual cultivator, you have freedom, but you don't have a secure life. Moreover, casual cultivators are weak and can easily be bullied, robbed, or even lose their lives. They can't even protect themselves, so what's the point of practicing cultivation?

Li Wan thought about it for a long time and found that the two choices were both blessings and misfortunes, and it was difficult to decide. It was difficult to decide for a while, but he gradually leaned towards the former. After all, he had lived in the Zhengqi Sect's dojo for many years and had a deep understanding of the Cultivation World Sect.

I know the door better.

With his status as a registered disciple, there is no problem in switching to another sect. After all, a registered disciple is not a formal disciple and has not yet entered the sect.

"Huh? What is this?"

Just as he was thinking about his future, Li Wan suddenly felt an unusual warmth that was moving slowly.

He looked down in surprise, only to find that it was the ring-shaped jade pendant conveniently hanging around his neck that was causing trouble.

It seemed to suddenly come to life, faintly echoing the innate true energy in the body, and there were waves of inexplicable throbbing.

Immediately afterwards, a white light like a firefly moon appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, and the ripples of light flowed inside, as if there were fish swimming in the rippling clear waves.

If you take a closer look, you will see that there are no swimming fish here. They are clearly Dao patterns, like misty blue smoke, suspended in the light.

"Is this thing really a treasure?"

Li Wan noticed that there seemed to be an inexplicable message in his mind.

It turns out that this jade pendant is not a decorative treasure, but a jade slip of divine knowledge that can only be used by people in Xuanmen.

The so-called Jade Slips of Divine Consciousness are a kind of magic weapon in the world of cultivation, specially used to record the secrets of martial arts or the secrets of heaven and earth.

practice, or learn the secrets.

When using jade slips of divine consciousness to preach and teach, there will be no overlapping meanings or differences between ancient and modern times, causing deviations and misunderstandings. Moreover, those who can refine this instrument and leave divine consciousness in it must be highly virtuous and powerful. Their

Memory and experience are far better than those recorded in written books.

However, jade slips of divine knowledge are extremely rare in the modern world. Only those sects with long inheritance or truly wealthy families will use these in extremely precious precious books. Moreover, only designated descendants can enjoy them, but it is

A very valuable treasure.

Li Wan didn't notice anything unusual about it before because he was just a mortal at that time and had no innate true essence in his body. Naturally, he couldn't feel the mystery of such Xuanmen treasures. But now, he has become a Qi Refining monk.
