The villain is right beside me

The human body is a very mysterious place. There are hundreds of acupoints and twelve meridians on the human body, which is like a city with many houses built on the main roads. The acupoints are like houses and the meridians are like roads. Then opening the door of the house is the trick and the beginning of the door to the road.

There are nine orifices in the human body: eyes, ears, mouth, nose and two yin organs. When people breathe every day, their heart, lungs, etc. will beat, so the key to opening the door is Qi.

Qi is the source of all things. When a person is born, he has an innate Qi. Qi can circulate blood and produce body fluids. People can move around because of Qi. And the one who can command Qi is the spirit of the person. The spirit of the person controls Qi, and Qi can transform into essence. The three coordinate with each other to open up the nine orifices. Therefore, essence, Qi and spirit are also called the "three treasures" of the human body.

The first hurdle that no cultivator in the world can avoid is opening the orifice. However, there are two ways to open the orifice: one is to induce external force to open the orifice, and the other is to open the orifice with one's own internal force. The former is to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use the energy of all things to open the orifice, which is called "refining qi"; the latter is to carry qi through blood, let one's own qi and blood grow and overflow, and open the orifice, which is called "refining the body".

Whether it is refining Qi or refining the body, if you can master the trick, you can be called a secular warrior. However, if you want to cultivate immortality, you need immortal roots.

In fact, everyone has immortal roots. The difference is that the qualifications of these immortal roots are different, which means that the starting points of immortal practitioners are destined to be different.

Those who have not yet awakened can only be called mortal warriors. No matter how fast they progress or how deep their cultivation is, only the immortal root determines your starting point and also represents your end point.

No one can explain the immortal root clearly. No one knows its name or shape. What on earth is it? Lao Wang only knows that everyone has an immortal root. The foundation of the entire world is Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the immortal root is also divided in this way.

The most basic five-element immortal roots are divided into two categories, yin and yang. There is a rule in the world of immortal cultivation: the fewer the attributes of the immortal root, the easier it is to cultivate, and the easier the bottleneck is. For example, an immortal root with the earth attribute is the most yin among the yins, and can carry the other four elements, and the speed of breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is quite fast. If it is a yang fire and yang gold two attributes, although the cultivation speed is not as fast as a single attribute immortal root, both happen to belong to the yang category, and the bottleneck will not be too difficult.

But if it is Yang Fire and Yin Water Fairy Root, this would be a bit bad. Water and fire are originally counteracting each other, and if there is restriction, the speed of cultivation will be almost gone.

According to the law of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements, people have summarized the grades of immortal roots. From high to low, there are first-grade immortal roots with a single attribute, second-grade immortal roots with two mutually generated roots, third-grade immortal roots with two mutually restrained roots, and fourth-grade immortal roots with three mutually restrained roots...

But there are outliers among them.

For example, the Yin Fire attribute turned into a dark immortal root, which is also an outlier and can be classified as a second-grade root. Another example is the Thunder Immortal Root that appeared when the Yang Wood attribute and Yin Fire collided...

Therefore, with the improvement of later generations, the immortal roots were divided into four grades: heaven, earth, mysterious and yellow, and each grade was divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

The top grade of heavenly products is a kind of immortal root that appeared in the dark and contains the laws of heaven and earth. It is the favorite of heaven. The immortal root with a single attribute is also ranked as the lower grade of heavenly products.

If the original immortal root is still within the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, there is a kind of immortal root that transcends the Five Elements and does not enter the Yin-Yang! That is the real immortal root!

It is said that a long time ago, a genius appeared in the world of immortal cultivation. He cultivated very slowly in the early stage, so slowly that it was suspected that he had the most useless immortal root in history. However, he continued to cultivate until the later stage. One day, his cultivation level increased rapidly. He ascended to heaven in just a hundred years, which was a miracle in the world of immortal cultivation. Later, some people speculated that he had a special talent that was beyond the scope of heaven and earth.

This is the real heavenly grade immortal root.

The most useless one is the one with all Yin and Yang and Five Elements in the body, which is a yellow-grade inferior immortal root. Although it has this name, there has not been such a useless one so far. It can also be said to be an alternative "legend".

Although the quality of the immortal roots is determined at different starting points from the beginning, a high starting point does not mean that you can definitely reach the end.

Throughout the ages, too many brilliant geniuses like Tianpin Xiangen have died on the road.

The door to cultivating immortals has been opened. The next step is to take one step at a time on the "road" within your body and step into each "house".

The human body is mainly made up of twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. After coordinated development, there are 360 ​​acupoints on these. Trying to open them all is like using an old ox to pull a broken cart.

But there are always some acupoints that are not on the meridians. The more acupoints are opened, the more helpful they will be in the later stages.

But until now, Mu Qing doesn’t even have the so-called Qi sense. Is his talent so poor?

Finally, under Lao Wang's guidance, Mu Qing finally felt the Qi for the first time. He felt a coolness under his lower abdomen, as if an invisible airflow entered his mouth and nose and flowed into his body, which immediately made Mu Qing feel extremely cool.

"Okay! You can open the storage bag now!" Lao Wang said anxiously.

Mu Qing began to try to integrate the airflow into the bag, and sure enough, a small hole opened up.

There was a full cubic meter of space inside, filled with two rolls of bamboo slips, some talisman papers, several bottles and jars, three blue-green crystals, a short sword and a bead.

Mu Qing opened his pocket excitedly. He had buried the bodies of the two men long ago. He went over to bury them carefully afterwards, but he didn't see anyone coming. It seemed that the "Taixuan Sect" had forgotten about them.

In a unique bottle, there is a white walnut-sized fruit, emitting a faint white mist.

"This is the Nine-aperture Linglong Fruit." Lao Wang said, "Swallow it. My memory tells me that swallowing this fruit directly can have a great effect in changing one's aptitude."

"Uh, eat it directly?"

"Hurry up, it's better to put this thing into your stomach as soon as possible instead of keeping it by your side. Your talent is so poor that it's hard to describe!"

"First find a place where there is no one."

Mu Qing came to the upstream of a river. After opening the bottle, he smelled a refreshing fragrance. He couldn't help but take a bite. A stream of cool juice immediately flowed into his stomach without any taste.

Suddenly, a cold current surged from Mu Qing's lower abdomen, expanding rapidly, and instantly filled his meridians and five internal organs.

It’s so cold...Mu Qing was shivering, the cold seemed to freeze into his bones. Mu Qing subconsciously practiced the mantra, not knowing if it would work.

At this time, a warm feeling rose in his dantian and gradually became warmer. Mu Qing felt much more comfortable and thought he was fine. Suddenly, two streams of air, one cold and one hot, began to entangle in his internal organs and rushed to his limbs, as if to tear Mu Qing's body apart.

"Ah..." Mu Qing rolled on the ground in pain, his face turning pale and black, and his body kept spasming.

"Hold on! This is to help you shape your body and open your mind! You must hold on!" Lao Wang said anxiously, wishing he could do it himself.

"Linglong Jiuqiao Fruit" has the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and changing the bones, but the pain is also enormous. The yin and yang energies will constantly cleanse the acupoints all over the body and impact the meridians.

During the long struggle between the Yin and Yang energies, fine blood beads oozed out of Mu Qing's body. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, and his head turned dark and he fell into a coma.

As the night was about to fall, the two air currents in Mu Qing's body began to hide in the acupoints, turning into a warm air current that began to flow continuously.

When Mu Qing woke up, he found that his whole body was sweaty, sticky and stinking, with pieces of gray-black "mud" falling off.

"Successful?" Mu Qing couldn't believe it.

"Well, try to practice the formula I told you." Lao Wang said.

Mu Qing tried to practice the formula and found that the airflow was much smoother than before, as refreshing as flying in the sky!

There is really a comparison!

Hahaha!

Mu Qing laughed loudly towards the sky. Although he didn’t know how much better his talent and aptitude had improved, he could definitely feel clearly that this power was something he had never had before.

After laughing happily, Mu Qing suddenly thought, if my body is different from that of an ordinary person, what should I do if it is discovered?

"You don't have to worry about this. The potential of the Nine-aperture Linglong Fruit is currently hidden in the acupoints in your body. You will be able to feel it as you practice step by step."

Mu Qing felt really uncomfortable with being so dirty, so he went straight to the river to take a bath. After washing his whole body, he suddenly found that his skin was whiter and tenderer than before, and he seemed to be a little younger.

“Is this a complete transformation?” Mu Qing suddenly developed an expectation for cultivating immortals.

"You are really lucky! The Nine-Aperture Linglong Fruit has cleansed your entire body, and all nine orifices are open, which is equivalent to being five years younger. Moreover, your body is also frozen at this moment. When you continue to practice to a high level, your appearance will not be too old." Lao Wang smiled. Even he admired Mu Qing's good luck.

"Now that you've got the knack, you can start practicing. What should you do next?" Mu Qing asked.

"Inducing Qi, opening the acupoints, and opening the meridians. The twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of the human body will be your avenue to cultivating immortals. Refining Qi and storing it in Dantian, opening the acupoints, this is the opening stage."

"Awakening Stage...what about above that?"

"I only remember that there are six major realms in the early stage of cultivation, namely, awakening, building a platform, wheel sea, infant transformation, body cutting and virtual path." Lao Wang said: "I vaguely feel that there are other realms later, so don't think too much about it. Now your goal is to complete the awakening and build a platform as soon as possible."

Mu Qing thought to himself, hasn't the process been opened up? Now that we have a goal and a direction, and there is an external plug-in to guide us, there is nothing to worry about not being able to ascend!

Lao Wang seemed to have read his mind: "Don't let your imagination run wild. With your talent, it will take a long time for you to become enlightened. Don't you want to know what your physical constitution is? Flow the air into your mind and use your sea of ​​consciousness to observe your body."

Mu Qing followed his method of internal observation and saw the beating of the five internal organs and the clear energy passing through the five internal organs. This is called the "triple burner". It passes through the triple burner to the dantian, which is below the lower abdomen, inside the Guanyuan point. A ball of white spiritual energy flows in the center of the navel, below the lower abdomen.

As he practiced the incantations of the technique, Mu Qing discovered that the white spiritual energy, which was originally sharp, murderous and sharp, suddenly became lingering, moist and cold, and the spiritual energy also turned black.

White belongs to gold and black belongs to water.

As it continued to operate, the spiritual energy suddenly became full of vitality, constantly stretching and bending, and its color became light green, as if it could bend and stretch.

Wood attribute! Three attributes of immortal roots. No...

Mu Qing suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy began to become hot, warm, and bright like red. It was the fire element!

After burning out, the aura became thick, as if carrying all the attributes, and turned yellow!

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth! All five elements are there!

No way!

Mu Qing heard him say that his talent was not very good, and it turned out to be a lower-grade yellow immortal root.

This is not finished.

On both sides of the five elements of spiritual energy, there are two streams of energy, one is warm, ascending and driving energy, the other is cool, sedimentary and tranquil energy.

God!

"Yin and Yang are on both sides, and the five elements are in the middle." Lao Wang sighed to the sky: "This kind of physique actually exists. It is really shocking, unprecedented and unparalleled! This physique can also be said to be gifted. It is simply garbage among garbage, dregs among dregs..."

Seeing Lao Wang's description of a gloomy and desolate situation with the sun and moon dimming, Mu Qing did not react at all.

"...Why don't you say anything? Are you shocked by your own failure?" Lao Wang said.

Mu Qing said: "You said that talent is just the starting point, not the end point."

Lao Wang said: "But I tell you, talent is often the most important. Do you know that even those with five-element immortal roots will want to commit suicide after learning about their physical condition, because there is really no future. And those who are smooth sailing can climb very quickly."

"If that's the case, you must be very angry and helpless in my body." Mu Qing said, "If I were destined to be mediocre, you wouldn't have come to me, and I wouldn't have encountered such a great opportunity. What do you think of my current cultivation speed?"

Lao Wang was stunned. Could it be... that this was really some kind of arrangement by fate?
