Chapter 223 The one-of-a-kind genius who cultivates immortality
"Master Shui, are you still getting used to it?" When Xu Mo found the water and went to the sea, the monk was still sitting cross-legged in the same position at the beginning, meditating.
Hearing Xu Mo's voice, he opened his eyes.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel like Shui Quhai becomes more and more like a monk, as if his whole body is pure white, blocking out all dark things.
It seems that this guy is really a genius in practicing Buddhism.
"Zen Master Xu, you have gained something just now by entering samadhi. In this way, no matter where you are, you will be like a pure land of bliss."
That means I'm fine, don't interfere with my Zen practice.
"Okay, that's good, we may have to stay here for a while."
Xu Mo walked to the entrance of the temple at this time. Outside, there was a high cliff and an abyss. There was water vapor all over the sky, but this water vapor could not enter the Yuyan Temple.
There was a vaguely strange figure in the distance, and there were bursts of terrifying roars.
If you look closely, you can seem to see a tall monster with three heads and six arms roaring angrily in the distance, trying to enter this place.
"It's safe for the time being, but I don't know how long this can last."
Xu Mo told the other party to go to the sea and asked the other party to keep an eye on the situation outside.
Then he went back and practiced in Sanqing Hall.
This kind of treatment is what Xu Mo can get. Even the old Taoist priest Xuan Yizi is not qualified to practice in Sanqing Hall.
However, it is said to be a palace, but it is actually a slightly spacious room, more than fifty square meters, and the statues of Sanqing occupy half of it.
The jade court lamp was burning, and although it only had a flame as big as a bean, it had an aura of great righteousness.
"I finally found the orthodox method of cultivating immortals, so I started practicing and seeing how difficult it is. At least, I can gain experience. If I iterate several times, I may be able to speed up my cultivation."
Xu Mo said to himself.
After all, even Yu Zhenzi, a recognized genius in cultivating immortals in Yuyan Temple, has only reached the level of introduction to the third volume of "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques" after practicing for more than ninety years.
Xu Mo is starting over from scratch. He doesn't know how long it will take to succeed in cultivation.
Of course, with Yu Zhenzi as a forerunner, Xu Mo would definitely want him to talk about his cultivation experience and insights first.
This alone made Yu Zhenzi talk for a long time.
Many of them are experiences summed up by Yuzhenzi himself. Every insight is priceless.
Xu Mo also wrote them down one by one.
Of course, he also knows that other people's experiences are other people's, and he certainly cannot copy them completely when practicing. Even if it is the same exercise method, everyone's cultivation situation is different. At most, it can be used as a reference. If you want to gain something, you have to
Keep your feet on the ground and cultivate step by step.
Official practice began.
Xu Mo opened the first volume of "Turning, Inhaling and Moving Qi". This is an introductory chapter with not much content. It has more than 300 words in total. It talks about the techniques and methods of breathing and moving Qi.
There is nothing difficult about this article. Tamaki also said that it is very simple. Under normal circumstances, if you practice diligently, you will be extremely proficient in a month or two.
You can maintain a special breathing rhythm and depth at any time.
As for skills, practice makes you familiar, and practice makes perfect.
There is nothing to say in this article.
Maybe Xu Mo has a high comprehension ability and he mastered it in a short time. Of course, he still has to deliberately maintain this breathing method.
In addition, the key to "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi" is to use this method to change the body's constitution and expand the Qihai meridians.
However, Xu Mo has already expanded the Qi Sea Meridians, and the effect of Xiang Ying's Spiritual Snake Pangong may be a thousand times greater than the "Exhalation, Inhalation and Movement of Qi", so Xu Mo can actually skip this step.
Next comes the second chapter.
"Eight Views of the Sacred Platform".
This level of difficulty is not at the same level as "Tunna Xingqi".
The emphasis is on the inner alchemy method, which incorporates the Zhouyi Bagua known to Xu Mo, and casts eight points, called a sacred platform, which can accommodate yin and yang, regulate qi, and condense the qi into a golden elixir.
In "The Secret Art of Human Elixir", there is also a talk about Zanggong Condensing Elixir, but it is definitely not the same concept as the golden elixir in "Eight Scenery Divine Platform".
The Zang Gong Ning Dan is a flesh and blood elixir, while the Eight Views Golden Pill is a Qi Ning Dan. To put it more simply, the texture and materials are completely different.
Xuan Zhenzi said that this stage is actually the most difficult.
For ordinary disciples, those who are lucky, talented, and have resources may only be able to achieve it in thirty to fifty years, but it will only be a small golden elixir.
If you want to achieve a great golden elixir, there is only one among ten thousand.
Xu Mo asked Xuan Zhenzi, what kind of elixir are you?
Xuan Zhenzi was quite proud, saying that it took him thirty-six years to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, and that he was the fastest practitioner among the Yuting Temple and even the Sanqing sect at that time.
He's just a top student.
Just look at the old boy.
Here Xu Mo began to focus on the "Eight Scenery Sacred Platform". Most of the time, Xu Mo practiced by himself in the temple, no one disturbed him, and no one dared to come and disturb him.
Unless he encounters something he doesn't understand and needs help from someone, Xu Mo will take the initiative to call for help.
In addition, there was only a blood moon and no sunrise or sunset in the Resentment Mountain, so I had no idea how much time had passed.
It might be three to five hours, or it might be three to five days.
Then Xu Mo discovered that he had acquired a golden elixir.
This happened so suddenly, maybe it was because Xu Mo had a foundation in cultivation before. After all, he had practiced a lot of various exercises in the past.
Zangong Ningdan, he had condensed many of them at that time, and also cast the 'Dan Que'. If Xu Mo hadn't cultivated the so-called 'Purple Mansion Nascent Soul', otherwise he would have been the 'Nascent Soul Master' among those weird immortal cultivators.
Already.
Precisely because of these foundations and the magical blessing of the external incarnation, Xu Mo practiced the orthodox Taoist method "Eight Views of the Divine Platform" at a super fast speed.
Xuan Zhenzi said that he had been cultivating for thirty-six years. Xu Mo felt that he had been practicing for three to six days at most.
There is a golden elixir.
Looking inside to see the elixir is indeed as Xuan Zhenzi said, it is condensed by spiritual energy.
This is like different forms of matter. If a certain gas is continuously compressed and reaches a certain critical value, it will become a liquid or even a solid.
This is actually the same truth in cultivating immortality.
At this moment, Xu Mo's dantian seemed to be compressing the spiritual energy, condensing it continuously, and finally turned into a suspended bead.
golden.
Of course, this bead may be a liquid or a solid.
But it is definitely formed by the condensation of a large amount of spiritual energy. This magnitude is very large and beyond imagination. If all is released, it will trigger a very strong reaction.
Even an explosion.
Xu Mo mainly used the principles of physics and chemistry to explain the matter of cultivating immortals.
Then he suddenly realized.
“Isn’t this just the utilization and transformation of energy?”
Xu Mo thought of the most typical one, which is to use flame heating to cook, forge, and refine metals. With metals, human beings can have various subsequent developments.
The same goes for practicing.
Reiki is flame, and golden elixir is metal extracted from flames.
Therefore, when an ordinary person faces a Jindan monk, it is equivalent to fighting a warrior wearing steel armor and holding a sharp sword with bare hands.
Naturally it is impossible to win.
"So, can cultivation be understood as another form of progress in human technological civilization?"
Xu Mo felt that he was thinking too much again.
I have no choice, I have a lot of knowledge in my head, so I tend to have random thoughts, and I like to use the theories I am familiar with to practice in this world.
But it has to be said that this kind of application and explanation is easy to understand. In this way, the originally mysterious and mysterious cultivation techniques were "translated" by Xu Mo and immediately became a scientific and technological reading material suitable for all ages.
Clear, understandable, and very accurate.
The 'golden elixir' that Xu Mo had condensed at this moment was not very large, that is, a bead with a diameter of seven or eight millimeters.
Xuan Zhenzi said that his Dacheng Golden Pill was as big as a dragon's eye.
If you’re not big enough, then keep practicing!
Xu Mo wants more spiritual energy, but this kind of thing needs to be accumulated over time and cannot be obtained overnight, just like a large reservoir.
No matter how big, good, or strong your reservoir is, it's useless if there's no water in it.
The water needs to be poured in slowly.
This is about resources, opportunity and luck.
Xu Mo had magic power in his body. He dispersed his original Zanggong Ningdan, divided it into pure spiritual energy, and merged it into it. He found that the golden elixir had only grown a little.
Not enough, far from enough.
But at this time, Xu Mo has no spiritual energy. If he wants to improve, he can only rely on breathing and breathing, which accumulates over time.
It will take at least several decades.
This time was too long, Xu Mo didn't have it, and couldn't wait.
According to the theories of physics and chemistry that explain the matter of cultivating immortals, the simplest way to increase the mass of a substance is to increase the substance itself.
For example, if you want to increase steel production, you need to put more ore into the steel-making furnace.
"No, just relying on "Tunna and Xingqi" to transform spiritual energy is too inefficient. How is this different from a clay workshop? If you want to improve efficiency, you must use large-scale production, a factory model."
Xu Mo thought about a way.
Then he discovered something interesting.
The air in the Resentment Mountain contains all kinds of strange things.
There is resentment and hatred, and these are essentially a type of aura.
There are just too many impurities.
For example, sewage cannot be drunk directly. It must be purified.
"Then how to purify?" Xu Mo asked himself another question.
Setting goals, then proposing problems that need to be solved, and setting up projects to solve them are processes and methods that everyone knows in modern engineering.
This thing can also be used in cultivating immortals.
Of all the exercises that Xu Mo knows so far, none of them are related to purification.
Perhaps, there is no way to purify this thing at all.
"Try the weird fire?"
Xu Mo did it as soon as he thought of it, but after trying it for a while, Xu Mo knew that it was not feasible.
"The strange flames will burn everything. Resentment and hatred can be burned away. Similarly, the real spiritual energy will be burned away. There is no way to purify it." Xu Mo sighed.
That's right, if this method is feasible, it is impossible that the senior eight hundred years ago would not have thought of it.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to obtain some kind of strange fire, but it is not difficult for previous time travellers.
Xu Mo believed that the other party must have thought about the solution, but he just couldn't find it.
This situation made Xu Mo a little frustrated.
If the person eight hundred years ago couldn't find a way, it means that there may be no way to solve this problem and can only rely on continuous accumulation.
"But it's not right. Xiang Ying said that the true immortal eight hundred years ago could sweep through everything and kill all the foreign states and suppress the many evils and monsters in the world for only a hundred days. Then he
How is it done?”
Xu Mo fell into deep thought.
"There must be a way!"
Perhaps, the real method lies in the location of the Sanqing Great Sect Taoist Court, which is the treasure in Sanqing Mountain.
Xu Mo knows the next sentence of the code, so as long as he goes there, he can get it.
But now they are trapped in the Mountain of Resentment, and how to get out is a problem.
Distant water cannot save near fire.
In desperation, Xu Mo could only suspend his practice and think about how to solve it.
To put it simply, I am stuck and have encountered a bottleneck.
Sometimes, this state is the real killer of time, like Xuan Yizi and Xuan Nianzi. These two are not as talented as Xuan Zhenzi. It can be said that they have been stuck in their current cultivation level for a long time.
Perhaps, until death, we will not be able to make any progress.
This is reality and cannot be avoided.
"That's right. If orthodox cultivation of immortality was so easy, there wouldn't be that many immortal cultivators in the world practicing the "Secret Technique of the Human Pill"."
Compared with the problem of too slow accumulation of spiritual energy, the secret technique of human elixir does not exist.
Cultivation stuck?
No problem, just eat people.
If you are still stuck, continue eating until you feel smooth and improved.
However, although the cannibal pill is fast, it has too many disadvantages.
Basically, in the end of the weird method, few people can actually land ashore, and many of them are eaten halfway. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
Even if he is not eaten, his head will still be a little abnormal after he has been repaired to the back.
Will go crazy.
It is conceivable what a madman will become after practicing cultivation. Either he will destroy himself or others.
Xu Mo thought about how to crack it, but unfortunately there was no trace. In desperation, he could only get up and walk around, or look at the Sanqing statue in a daze.
At this time, Xu Mo's heart was moved, and he reached out and took out the black flag of the order from his waist.
The flag moved just now.
It means there is something inside that wants to come out.
After waving the flag, Wei Sanniang and the baby appeared.
"Master Xu!" Wei Sanniang stepped forward and saluted. Xu Mo asked what was going on. The former said, "I want to make trouble. I'm so noisy that I can't control it!"
Xu Mo smiled.
After all, the baby is a child, and she only listens to her own words, so it is indeed difficult for Wei Sanniang to take care of her.
"Leave her outside, you go back and have a rest."
"Thank you Master Xu!" Wei Sanniang was relieved and immediately got into the black flag.
At this time, Xu Mo felt something vague, reached out to grab the black flag, and activated his magic power.
The next moment, his expression changed, with a hint of surprise.
"It's strange, there is such a strong spiritual energy in this black flag?"
This is a treasure found.
It's a bit like a person who has just spent the last penny of his savings and suddenly finds a broken box at home filled with cash.
Surprised, unbelievable.
Then came doubt.
"Where does this spiritual energy come from?"
Xu Mo remembered clearly that in the black flag before, there were only resentments and ghosts. There was spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy was mixed among these resentments and ghosts, like polluted water.
But now, the polluted black water has turned into clear rivers and streams.
There must be a reason.
Xu Mo did not absorb the spiritual energy immediately, but called Wei Sanniang again to ask the reason.
Wei Sanniang was not too sure about this matter. Later, she thought about it carefully and said, "Master Xu, this matter may have something to do with the doll."
"Tell me more specifically!" Xu Mo looked at the doll holding him in his arms and already had some guesses in his mind.
"The baby likes to eat. I often see her scratching in the air and I don't know what she is eating!"
"She likes to eat resentment!"
Xu Mo remembered.
It is a doll's characteristic to eat resentment.
Just like the Zen master from Shifang.
"By the way, why does Shui Quhai have such strong magical power? It's because Zen Master Shifang filters it for him, so that he can absorb the aura of resentment and hatred and use it for his own purposes."
Xu Mo immediately found a breakthrough.
I have to say that Xu Mo has seen countless strange things, powerful and not so powerful. I don’t know how many strange things he has encountered. But those with special abilities like dolls are definitely rare.
There is only one doll.
Shifang Zen Master is also considered one, but he has already become a Buddha with the help of dolls.
In other words, right now, only dolls have this special ability to 'purify'.
The Black Flag of the Order is a closed space. If the doll stays in it for a period of time, the spiritual energy in it can be purified. This is very important to Xu Mo.
The spiritual energy in the imperial flag is equivalent to the spiritual energy accumulated through years of self-cultivation.
Xu Mo figured this out, and without saying a word, he directly absorbed the spiritual energy and strengthened the golden elixir.
Then let Black Flag absorb the surrounding resentment, then throw the doll in, continue to generate spiritual energy, and the cycle repeats.
Xu Mo benefits and the baby is happy, killing two birds with one stone.
After about the tenth cycle, Xu Mo discovered that his golden elixir was also the size of a longan.
According to Xuan Zhenzi and the others, this can be regarded as the great achievement of the golden elixir!
This is equivalent to the completion of the "Eight Views of the Sacred Platform".
Xu Mo worked non-stop and began to practice the last chapter, which was the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques". At this time, Xuan Zhenzi asked to see him. After getting Xu Mo's permission to come in, he saw that Xu Mo was surrounded by spiritual energy, a golden light emerged from the top of his head, and his whole body was isolated from resentment.
Evil spirit, my heart skipped a beat right now.
He was an expert, so he could naturally tell that Xu Mo was practicing the "Twenty-Four Huangting True Alchemy Techniques".
But, how long has it been?
Even if the second ancestor has some basics, it would be too fast if he started from "Tunna and Xingqi".
At that moment, Xuan Zhenzi thought to himself, others said that he was the only one in the world who could cultivate immortality, but now it seems that the second ancestor is the one.
"Is something wrong?" Xu Mo was so excited that he didn't want to stop, so he asked at this time.
That means, if nothing happens, just stay there and don't hinder my cultivation of immortality.
"Second Ancestor, there is a strange phenomenon outside, I'm afraid something is going to happen."
"A strange phenomenon?" Xu Mo finally stopped practicing, and the golden light from his body dissipated. He asked in detail, but Xuan Zhenzi couldn't explain it clearly, so he said, "I would also like to ask the second ancestor to go to Guanmen to have a look."
Xu Mo suppressed his curiosity and followed out. When he reached the entrance of Yuyan Temple, Xuan Yizi and Xuan Nianzi had already arrived. The two Taoist priests were standing with swords in their hands, looking solemn.
Monk Shui Quhai also clasped his hands together and frowned.
Looking outside, it was raining heavily.
In addition, there were lightning and thunder.
Xu Mo asked, has this happened in the past?
The three Taoist priests all shook their heads.
Looking at it this way, it is indeed a vision.
At this time, in the thunderstorm, something seemed to be floating this way.
At first, I could only see an outline. As time went by, as the thing got closer, I could gradually see it clearly.
"It seems like a lone boat!"
