Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

Lei Ze slowly opened his eyes after not knowing how long he had been sleeping. He seemed to have had a long dream, dreaming that he had transformed from a mortal to a foundation-building master.

There was still the familiar wooden house around, but there was an additional master lying on the ground. Lei Ze kicked away Lao Deng's body and kowtowed nine times towards Leishan Village.

"Mom and dad, don't worry, this Lao Deng has been killed by me."

...............

It seems that I can't swallow more souls. If I swallow a few more times, I feel like I will lose myself. I don't know whether I am Zhang San or Lei Ze. Did this glutton swallow too many fools before he was so stupid?

Lei Ze sorted out Lao Deng's memories and found that the realms are currently divided into five levels, namely: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Divine Transformation Stage.

The current mainstream method of cultivating immortals is the breathing and breathing method. Most people start to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use from the Qi refining stage, and Lao Deng used this method before. Although this method is simple to build the foundation, as long as the spiritual energy is enough, the Dantian will be turned into a sea of ​​spiritual energy, and two orifices will be separated. It is the sea of ​​qi, and one orifice is Guanyuan. Guanyuan is the place where Yuanjing is stored.

It can be regarded as foundation building. The golden elixir stage is a little more difficult, as you have to condense the sea into a golden elixir. The Nascent Soul stage is to break the golden elixir into pieces and replenish the Yuan Jing to re-condensate into a lifelike Nascent Soul. It is extremely difficult for the Nascent Soul to break through to become a god. It is necessary to integrate the Nascent Soul with the divine soul. If you succeed, you will ascend to the sky and have unlimited lifespan. If you fail, you will die.

After Lao Deng seized the body this time, he wanted to try another method, which was to refine Qi. Lao Deng had this skill in his body. This is also the most familiar exercise in this world in Lao Deng's memory, but it is a bad street guidance exercise that almost no one practices. It is called "Longevity Kung Fu", a very simple and practical name.

There are only two articles on this method, one is called Refining Qi and Transforming Qi, and the other is called Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit.

Chapter of refining and transforming Qi:

"If a person has essence, he will live, and if he does not have essence, he will die. This is the principle of nature. If a person has essence, he can generate energy, and if he has energy, he can nourish his spirit. If the energy is strong and sufficient, the spirit will be alive and can respond to all things in the world. If the energy is exhausted, the spirit will destroy everything. All are empty, but the spirit cannot exist without Qi, and the Qi without the spirit is disadvantageous.

However, the heart is excited and the spirit is flying in the fire, and the emotional energy and energy are released with it, which consumes the spirit at the top and the energy at the bottom, and finally the body is exhausted.

If you want to live forever, you need to wait for the Yuan Jing to come out of the Dantian, guide it down, lift the anus, pass through the tail, pass through the Jiaji, pass through the jade pillow, and reach the Niwan. Refining Qi and transforming Qi, travel to the Dantian, perform this technique again, use Qi to transform into the sea, build the foundation of the city, separate the orifices and Guanyuan, the foundation has been completed, you can use the Qi of heaven and earth for your own use, refine the Qi into elixir, and condense the elixir into elixir. Nascent Soul, waiting to transform into a god. "

After Lei Ze read it, coupled with Lao Deng's memory, he understood instantly.

To put it simply, a person is born with Yuanqi, Yuanjing and Yuanshen (Yuanshen can also be called Shenhun, or soul).

Yuanjing is the essence of the physical body. The internal organs, muscles, blood, meridians and acupoints are all composed of Yuan Jing.

Yuanshen is also called Shenhun, the soul, which resides in Tianxin (also called Niwan), which is the position above the eyebrows. Human thoughts and ideas are all determined by the soul.

The Yuan Qi is innate, also known as the innate Qi, and resides in the Dantian. It is the bridge between man and heaven and earth.

Cultivation is to use Yuan Qi to guide the Yuan Jing from the Du Vein to the Tianxin where the Yuan Shen resides. After being refined into Yuan Qi, put it into the Dantian. When the Dantian Qi is full and turns into the sea, it becomes the Qihai acupoint. The Dantian will be divided into two acupoints, Qihai and Guanyuan. From then on, the Yuanjing is stored from Guanyuan.

This is considered the foundation building is completed. After the foundation building, you can breathe out the spiritual energy of the world and continue to turn it into your own Yuan Qi, condense it into the golden elixir, and then the golden elixir and the Yuan Jing in Guanyuan will condense into Yuanying. Then break through and become a god.

Why does no one practice it? Because it is extremely difficult to practice this technique to build the foundation. The difficulty is equivalent to the breathing method from Yuanying to Transformation.

Because it is impossible for a normal person to have so much Yuan Jing in his body, and turn Yuan Jing into Qi Hai.

Even physically powerful monsters cannot refine their own energy into Qi Hai. If you want to train your body and increase your vitality, it will definitely take a lot of resources and time.

As we all know, the lifespan of the Qi refining period is a little longer than that of ordinary people, but not much, maybe 5-10 years, and the Qi in the Qi refining period is too little. If the Qi in the Qi refining period is used to replenish Yuan Jing, the Qi will not last long. not enough.

Only a body that is naturally stronger than a demonic beast and uses countless resources to refine the body can it be possible to refine Qi Hai. Once you have mastered the Qi Hai, the subsequent cultivation will be as easy as breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the Qi refining period to enter the spirit transformation.

Unless you are born with a physique that surpasses that of a monster and have a huge amount of resources, you can only consider refining Qi. The reason why Zhang San wants Lei Ze to take this path is because Zhang San has already done so in his previous life. pass.

Second, although Lei Ze's body is not that of a natural monster, it is not bad. When Zhang San saw the vision, he could feel the huge amount of essence in this baby. It was the most he had ever seen, even bigger than that of a natural monster. Most people are in the Qi refining stage.

The third is that there is something strange about Lei Ze's origin, and he might be the son of luck.

Therefore, the vast majority of immortal cultivators start practicing the breathing method. At the very least, if the resources are sufficient, the breathing method can be practiced to the point of foundation building. However, it is difficult to achieve great success in refining Qi.

The difference between Qi and Qi

Qi is the qi cultivated by breathing in and out. It is the same as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This qi replaces one's own innate energy and travels throughout the body to make up for the daily loss of Yuanjing and Yuanshen.

Qi will also strengthen the soul and essence, but the effect of supplementing and strengthening is not as good as the innate energy, because the innate energy has the same origin as itself.

Qi is the Qi that is refined and refined, and is called acquired Qi. This Qi has the same effect as the innate Qi.

Entering the stage of spiritual transformation is to completely integrate the essence, energy (qi) and spirit into one body, just like heaven and earth, immortal, immortal, birthless and immortal.

The reason why people age and die is because of the deficiency of Jing, Qi and Shen.

The actions of the body will consume the essence, and the actions of the mind will consume the essence.

When the physical body is strong, there will be more Yuan Jing in the physical body. When the Yuan Jing in the physical body is sufficient, Yuan Jing will be produced in the Dantian.

Yuanshen (or soul or soul) is the foundation of human thinking. Qi or Qi is the medium through which people communicate with the world and replenish themselves.

When a mortal person dies, old age and color decline are due to insufficient energy, so the physical body will age. If thinking is stagnant and memory is confused in old age, it means there is too much loss of energy.

Yuan Qi is only present at birth, and is also called innate Qi. Yuan Qi is not enough to replenish the energy consumed by Yuan Jing and Yuan Shen. Therefore, human life will eventually end.

And because mortals do not know or are unable to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or refine the energy, and there is no replenishment after the innate energy is consumed, so the body will be lifeless after the energy is exhausted. When the soul is exhausted, there is no thinking, somewhat similar to the vegetative state of Lei Ze's previous life.

The death of a cultivator of the Breathing Method is due to the breathing of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy transported to the whole body will strengthen various parts of the body. For example, it will make the soul stronger, the body stronger, the meridians stronger, and the soul and soul more powerful. The loss of essence will be greater, and more Qi will be needed to replenish oneself.

When the Qi is not enough to replenish the lost essence and soul, the immortal cultivator will also grow old and die. Naturally, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to supplement and strengthen the essence and spirit is not as effective as the innate energy.

As for those who practice immortality by refining Qi, because the Qi refined the day after tomorrow has the same source as the innate Qi, it can supplement and strengthen the essence and spirit better than spiritual energy. Therefore, people who practice this method will live longer.

And it will become even stronger during the same period. According to Lao Deng Zhang San's simple estimate, Qi's supplement to Yuan Jing and Yuan Shen can be almost [-]% or more. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth can only supplement the essence and soul by about [-]%.

That's why Zhang San decided to take this path after seizing the body. But before seizing the body, he was already old and faded. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth can no longer keep up with the speed of the loss of essence in his body.

In addition to seizing the body, it is to break through to the golden elixir. He used more spiritual energy to make up for the loss of Yuan Jing, but Lao Deng couldn't break through, so he had no choice but to seize the body.

Therefore, there is a rumor in this world that if someone can practice longevity skills to the point of building a foundation, then he will be an invincible existence in the same realm. And the lifespan of this method seems to be longer,

But no one knows exactly how long it is.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of the breath training period is similar to that of ordinary people, only a few years longer than ordinary people. The foundation period is about 200 to 300 years, the golden elixir stage is about 500 to 600 years, and the Nascent Soul stage is about 1000 years. .

As for the lifespan of the Refining Qi method, before the foundation is established, it is the same as ordinary people, and after the foundation is established, the lifespan is about 1000 years. This is based on Lao Deng's memory, because Lao Deng doesn't know the specific lifespan, but it should be longer than this. There are many.

Lei Ze briefly summarized that refining Qi and converting Qi is to break through the difficulty of building a foundation, while breathing method is to break through the difficulty of transforming into a spirit. After refining Qi and building a foundation, you can defeat people in the same realm.

The article will not use too much text during the Qi refining period. You don’t have to worry about hydrology. The protagonist will be building the foundation in a few chapters. )
