When he got home and opened the door, Li Xiaochen saw Jiang Mier in an apron mopping the floor with a mop.
Seeing how hard she was arching her back, Li Xiaochen couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"You're back?" Seeing him standing at the door with a silly smile, Jiang Mier straightened up, holding the mop in one hand and gently beating her sore back with the other.
After rubbing it for herself a few times, Jiang Mier took out a brand new mobile phone from her bag and handed it over: "Here, this is for you."
Li Xiaochen looked up and down, inside and out for a long time, and said in confusion: "This phone looks familiar no matter how you look at it... Wait, I remembered it. Isn't this your phone?"
Jiang Mier took out another identical mobile phone and said with a smile: "This is mine."
"Are you dizzy, a couple machine?"
"I threw your phone away last time. Of course I have to buy you a new one."
Li Xiaochen returned the phone to Jiang Mier and said, "I remember you said that this kind of phone is worth more than 8,000 yuan. It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
Jiang Mier smiled and put the phone into his hand: "Why are you pretending to me? Take it."
"I really can't accept it. I don't like to owe others, whether it's money, favors or anything else." Li Xiaochen threw the phone to Jiang Mier again.
"Then why don't you still owe me five million?"
"Don't I have money to pay you back? When I have money, I will definitely pay you back every penny."
"With your current situation, it is difficult enough to support yourself. I really doubt you will be able to earn enough five million in this life to pay me back."
Li Xiaochen was speechless. Indeed, Jiang Mier was right.
He currently has only a few thousand dollars in the bank. It would be difficult to pay off a huge sum of millions in his lifetime.
Do you want your descendants to pay it back for you?
"Take it." Jiang Mi'er handed over the phone again, "Anyway, you already owe me a lot. You don't need these eight thousand yuan, right? One day, if you can pay me back five million, that's it.
I don’t care if I pay back a little more. If you can’t afford it, it doesn’t matter if you pay a little more.”
Li Xiaochen thought to himself: That's right, the debt is all over my butt anyway. A little more, a little less, it doesn't make any difference.
So he stopped refusing: "Then it would be better to obey orders than to be respectful."
After tidying up the room, the two of them heated up the food Li Xiaochen brought back last night and then made a simple lunch.
Jiang Mier used the rest time after meals to continue to guide him in his studies of cultivating immortals.
The first part of the second level of the Taixuan Tianqing Dao Condensation Pill has been broken through. What follows is the most critical part before the foundation is established.
For many sects of cultivating immortals, it is better to complete the inner elixir after building the foundation, which is safer.
Because after successfully building the foundation and plugging the leaks, not only the Qi and blood will be stable, but the true Qi in the body will be purer and thicker than before the foundation was established.
After the foundation building is completed, the inner elixir condensed will be firm and stable, condensing and not falling apart.
Moreover, all kinds of diseases and potential unhealthy factors in the body have been expelled from the body during foundation building. The condensed inner elixir has less impurities and will basically not affect subsequent cultivation.
But Taixuan Tianqing Dao did the opposite.
The first level of gas gathering is to gather the three elements of heaven and earth and store them in one's body, which also lays the foundation for the second level of elixir condensation.
Because the true energy needed to condense the elixir is the energy absorbed from nature, rather than the raw material obtained by converting one's own essence and blood into qi like other sects.
Therefore, as long as you are proficient in gathering Qi and carefully filter out the polluted impurities when gathering the three elements of heaven and earth, and then keep them out, you don't have to worry about this problem.
After condensing the inner elixir of true essence, it can be used as a basis to generate true energy, making the practice of foundation building easier.
In the elixir condensation stage of Taixuan Tianqing Dao, you need to be very careful when practicing.
As long as the inner elixir is knotted, one must inject one's own soul into it to become a fairy. If the inner elixir is impure, it will lay the foundation for future cultivation.
Just like a mother who is pregnant for ten months, if she does not take good care of the fetus during this period, the child born in the future is likely to be defective or unhealthy.
Therefore, the matter of condensing elixir is very important for those who practice Taixuan Tianqing Dao.
"There are even some immortal cultivators who, when they reach the fifth level of Immortal Infant Realm, the soul that emerges from the elixir is incomplete. Some are deaf and mute, some are deformed, some cannot see, and some are missing arms and legs.
...Just like the disabled people we see." At this point, Jiang Mier couldn't help but sigh with regret, feeling sorry for those immortal cultivators who failed to protect the elixir properly.
Li Xiaochen asked curiously: "If you can't train the Immortal Infant for the rest of your life, wouldn't you have to carry your own soul with you for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Mier nodded and said: "It is indeed possible. So when condensing the elixir, we must be cautious and not allow any mistakes. After the elixir is completed, you will treat yourself as a pregnant woman and there are all kinds of taboos. What's more?
That is... starting from tomorrow, including food, I will prepare it carefully for you."
After saying this, Jiang Mier taught Li Xiaochen the precautions and tips for the second part of condensation.
From the moment a person is born, everything he eats is human fireworks.
Especially in this era when food is rich in various toxins, people's physical condition is many times worse than that of ancient people.
Everyone, especially ordinary people who do not practice spiritual practice, will have toxins in their bodies to a greater or lesser extent, as deep as the organs and bone marrow, and as shallow as the flesh and skin.
As long as you are not careful, these toxins will affect the purity of the inner elixir.
Therefore, when condensing the elixir, on the one hand, we must carefully filter out the contaminated three elements of heaven and earth;
On the other hand, it is necessary to use true energy to build a protective net around the inner elixir to prevent toxins from invading it.
If you want to ensure that the inner elixir is pure and thick, you need to use several layers of Zhenqi Knot filter membrane to block the intrusion of toxins.
People who have practiced Taixuan Tianqing Dao from ancient times to the present have also had questions: If you build the foundation first and then condense the elixir, wouldn't there be less trouble?
In the short term, it seems to be a good idea.
But these people have ignored a crucial point.
A person's body will change according to his mood.
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" has a description in the Yin and Yang Corresponding Symbol Chapter: Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, thinking hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the kidneys.
Not only these, every mood will affect a person's internal organs and body.
When you have resentment, jealousy, arrogance... or even emptiness, it will have a negative impact on your body and shorten your lifespan.
Only when all kindness and compassion arise, the human body will respond well.
Since a person's mood will affect the body, even if the foundation is completed and unhealthy factors can be discharged from the body, it cannot resist the "toxins" brought by changes in mood.
No matter whether you build the foundation first or condense the elixir first, there are still some imperfections.
In the final analysis, the best way to maintain health is to keep a calm and humble mind, follow nature, and be close to the way of heaven.
Therefore, when a mother is pregnant, one of her taboos is to maintain a good attitude.
If the mother is angry, the child will have a bad temper and the liver will be affected.
Don't get angry before feeding your child. Otherwise, toxins will be produced in the milk. Feeding it to the baby may make it sick and weaken the immune system, or it may cause death on the spot.
If the mother cannot control herself and becomes angry because of someone or something, she will have to wait several hours after the anger has passed before she can breastfeed her child.
Such cases also appeared frequently during the Republic of China.
Condensate the elixir first and then build the foundation. Although you have to be cautious when condensing the elixir, as if walking on thin ice, once it is condensed into a true elixir, you will have enough power to break through the foundation building barrier.
For cultivators, this will undoubtedly enable more people with poor qualifications to achieve success.
Li Xiaochen carefully absorbed the three elements of heaven and earth using the Qi Gathering Technique. After they turned into liquid in the body, he immediately divided the inhaled three elements into two parts.
One part is used to condense the inner elixir; the other part is used to protect the other three elements.
Most sects in the world use the essence, energy and spirit in the human body as raw materials, and use the physical body as a cauldron to refine the inner elixir.
However, if the Three Treasures of the human body are impure, the resulting inner elixir will not be extremely pure.
The method adopted by Taixuan Tianqingdao is a different approach. When condensing the elixir, the clean and untainted three-yuan energy between heaven and earth is used as the material to gather the inner elixir.
In this way, the alchemy can be extremely stable and its purity can be achieved in the true sense.
It is not comparable to the inner elixir produced by ordinary immortal cultivators with their energy and spirit.
If you can practice to the later stage, especially after entering the realm of Yangshen, the incredible beauty and power of Taixuan Tianqingdao will undoubtedly become apparent.
This is also one of the reasons why today's Xianlun Sect and the four major aristocratic families who practice Taixuan Tianqing Dao are able to cultivate the world of immortality with awe.
Li Xiaochen, who was forming elixirs for the first time, started carefully and slowly.
Later, gradually, after becoming familiar with this process, he accelerated the speed of condensation, urging the newly ingested three elements of heaven and earth to flow into his lower abdomen.
I don't know why, but as soon as the energy collected from nature entered the air sea, it was immediately compressed by a mysterious force in the depths, and easily formed into a solid golden elixir.
It's just that this inner elixir is too small. The three elements of heaven and earth that Li Xiaochen worked hard to gather, after being concentrated, disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the inner elixir was as big as a grain of sand.
After calling it a day, Li Xiaochen was so tired that he lay on the floor and suddenly understood why the process of condensation was divided into two parts.
The first part compresses the gaseous Qi into a liquid state, of course in order to be able to store more Qi in the body.
But these infuriating energy actually serve the second part.
Because when condensing the true elixir, it takes a lot of effort.
Without the support of these infuriating energy, I am afraid that after a while, I will be unable to continue due to lack of energy.
Jiang Mi'er saw that he looked exhausted and asked with a smile: "How far is it going?"
Li Xiaochen opened his hand and waved: "Don't mention it. It took me so long to get to the size of a grain of sand. How long and how long will it take for me to condense?"
Jiang Mi'er comforted: "You have to eat one meal at a time, and you have to walk one step at a time. Rome was not built in a day. Your elixir condensation progress has been very fast. It took me more than three months to condensate the elixir.
."
Li Xiaochen was not in the mood to listen to her words, he covered his growling stomach: "Is there anything to eat?"
"I carefully cooked a pot of delicious food for you." Jiang Mier went to the kitchen and filled a bowl of red-black sticky food and brought it to Li Xiaochen.
Li Xiaochen frowned in disgust: "What is this, a poop?"
