Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Zhou Qing sat in the spirit pool, practicing the "Emperor Yuanhualongtu". The mist and rain came darkly, and he continued to draw the heaven and earth's vital energy from the fontanelle, into the body, and turned into true energy.

At the same time, he could sense that when the internal energy was transformed into true energy, he was cautious in controlling it.

The true energy of dragon transformation was condensed after practicing the "Emperor Yuanhualongtu", one of the true skills of Biyou Palace. It contained an unimaginable coldness and first-class domineering. To contain such true energy, even the body that was almost perfect at the level of entering the Tao seemed to have become porcelain, and it would break if it was not careful.

True energy is the energy of heaven and earth, and it is condensed by special methods. It has extraordinary power and cannot be contained by mortal bodies.

To contain true energy, you must shed your mortal body and achieve the Tao body.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Qing did not condense the Tao body immediately, but slowly circulated the true energy of dragon transformation, ready to go.

In this world, there are seven orifices on the human head, and the orifices in the body are said to have the number of Zhoutian, but there are only a handful of spiritual orifices that can truly communicate with heaven and earth, only nine.

One of them is the innate spiritual orifice "fontanelle" that has always been open. As for the other eight spiritual orifices, they have long been closed and hidden in the human body, making them difficult to find.

After the cultivator successfully builds the foundation and enters the level of Qi Refining, there is one thing that runs through the whole process, that is, to find the spiritual orifices in the body as much as possible and open them. After all, the more spiritual orifices are opened, the faster the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth.

For most cultivators, they do not take the initiative to open the spiritual orifices, but only focus on improving their realm cultivation, because as the realm cultivation improves, it will be fed back to the body, and the spiritual orifices will naturally open again. When they reach the Mingshen realm and condense the golden elixir, basically all nine orifices are opened.

But this way is safe and secure, but it is too passive. There are geniuses who are not willing to follow the routine. They are more proactive and open the spiritual orifices in the human body that can sense the heaven and earth as early as possible.

The reason is simple. The life span of a Qi-refining cultivator is limited to less than 200 years. If the cultivation speed is too slow, and the life span is exhausted, and it is still not possible to break through to the Mingshen realm, then it can only be buried in a pile of yellow earth. Therefore, at the Qi-refining level, if you can open the spiritual orifice earlier, even if it is one more than the step-by-step method, the cultivation speed can be faster, and there may be a possibility of breakthrough.

It is not easy to open it actively.

The spiritual orifice in the human body that senses the heaven and earth, except for the fontanelle orifice, is the same for all people. The location of other spiritual orifices is different for thousands of people.

To find the spiritual orifice in the human body and open it actively, the difficulty can be imagined. According to Zhou Qing, even a family with a deep foundation like the Luochuan Zhou family has its own secret method of finding the spiritual orifice, which only increases the success rate, but cannot be said to be a certain success. Sometimes, it depends on luck.

Of course, if the cultivator can really get the natural treasures that can help open the orifice, it is also a method. It’s just that this level of natural treasures is really rare and not easy to obtain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's eyes sparkled, and his heart was excited. He was different and had great fortune.

After all, in his previous life, even though he practiced Tao first and then the Dharma, he eventually reached the Danhua level and opened the nine orifices that communicated with the heaven and earth step by step.

For the location of the eight spiritual orifices in his body that could communicate with the heaven and earth, except for the fontanelle orifice that had always been open, he knew clearly.

"Take advantage of the opportunity."

Starlight burst out from Zhou Qing's pupils, and there was a burning flame.

Whether in the previous life or this life, he had seen it many times in the cultivation notes. Someone had imagined that if one or two more spiritual orifices that could communicate with the heaven and earth could be opened before condensing the Tao body, that would be true fortune.

It was just too difficult, so it only existed in a fantasy.

After drawing Qi into the body and condensing the true Qi, it is most appropriate to open the spiritual orifices in the body that can communicate with the heaven and earth.

Before, without true qi, even if there was a chance against heaven, and by chance, the spiritual orifice was discovered, it could not be opened. After that, once the cultivator shed his mortal body and condensed his Dao body, the spiritual orifice would be hidden in the process, not only more difficult to find, but also the difficulty of opening the spiritual orifice increased several times.

All the prerequisites, when building the foundation, know the location of the spiritual orifice in the body that can communicate with the heaven and earth, even if there is only one, it will be fine.

But this level almost stuck all the cultivators.

"I am different."

Zhou Qing smiled secretly, and controlled the dragon qi in his body that was ready to go, following his memory, to a natural spiritual orifice on his body.

When he arrived in front of the spiritual orifice, there was no need to hesitate, the dragon qi was released forward, and it penetrated into the spiritual orifice with just one stroke, sweeping away the filth that sealed the spiritual orifice inside, and eliminating it all.

At the moment of opening, Zhou Qing felt as if a steel needle was directly nailed into his sea of ​​consciousness, and a sharp pain broke out. The surrounding area of ​​the newly opened innate spiritual orifice was also painful.

"It hurts so much?"

In his previous life, he practiced step by step, and when he reached a certain level of cultivation, he would naturally open his orifice. He didn't know that it would be so painful to open his orifice on his own.

If it weren't for his firm will and his polished body that was almost perfect at the level of entering the Tao, he would be strong enough, I'm afraid he really couldn't resist it.

Zhou Qing looked at the innate spiritual orifice he opened. It was round and looked flawless. It was actually similar to the state of the spiritual orifice that he opened by himself when he reached a sufficient level of cultivation in his previous life.

He opened the orifice in this way, which was simple and direct. He was done after opening it.

"Next one."

Zhou Qing slowed down and controlled the dragon-transforming true qi in his body to open another spiritual orifice.

After rushing through three orifices in one breath, Zhou Qing felt that he had reached the limit of his body and mind, so he finally stopped.

In this way, in addition to the innate spiritual orifice of the fontanelle that had not been closed, Zhou Qing opened three more innate spiritual orifices.

Most cultivators only have one innate spiritual orifice, the fontanelle, when they build their foundation. Those with great opportunities may be able to open two or three innate spiritual orifices. As for those like Zhou Qing, who have opened four innate spiritual orifices before condensing their Dao body, it is really a great fortune.

"It has reached the limit."

Zhou Qing's thoughts turned, thinking that he had reached the limit of what a Taoist monk could do.

After all, his body had been polished to the near-perfect level of the Dao through the Jingchen Dharma Assembly; he had lived for three lives and had seen many storms and waves, and his determination was something few people could match; and knowing the location of the innate spiritual orifice in his body was even more rare.

It would be difficult for ordinary cultivators to complete even one of these three, let alone have all of them?

He had already reached the limit and done his best at this stage.

"The last step is to condense the Dao body."

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, and the dragon-transforming true qi in his body began to circulate at an unprecedented speed, impacting the bones.
