Chu Chaoyun and others originally wanted to see Jiang Yuanchen's good show and see him end up like them, but unexpectedly Xun Yang directly pulled them down together, and Wei Gong who came last was also unlucky. In the end, Jiang Yuanchen didn't have any fun, and he and others answered another test paper in vain.

Ma Yuan and others asked for trouble and left immediately, but Chu Chaoyun had to stay where he was with Jiang Yuanchen to listen to Xun Yang's instructions.

Fortunately for Jiang Yuanchen, he only made one wrong question in the second test paper. Although the questions he did were different from those of Chu Chaoyun, this alone made Xun Yang use him as a teaching material and scolded Chu Chaoyun from beginning to end. .

Chu Chaoyun's alchemy skills are very poor. Although he focuses on the art of refining weapons, the method of alchemy still needs to reach the level of ordinary monks. For this reason, Xun Yang selected two more alchemy books for him and asked him to go back and study them carefully. He also copied a copy before the fifteenth of next month.

As for Jiang Yuanchen, Xun Yang handed him a class schedule he had just written: "Starting from the fifth day of the first lunar month, you can come to the Preaching Hall according to this class schedule."

Jiang Yuanchen took a look at the class schedule and found that the training courses were roughly divided into several categories. The first is the most important preaching, teaching of exercises and explanation of Taoism. Come to the preaching hall once every five days and listen to lectures for one day, the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth and so on. The first day of the first lunar month is a holiday after all, so we have a day off.

Then there is the teaching of the four skills of alchemy and talismans. There is a big class every month, which lasts for one day. Under Xun Yang's arrangement, it is also separated from the main teaching class.

In addition, there is one miscellaneous course and two practical exercises every month. Miscellaneous courses focus on beast control, exorcism and other cultivation methods. They are not skills that must be mastered by ascetics. They only need to be understood and it all depends on one's own interests. As for the actual cultivation, it is a real actual competition. There are special golden elixir monks who come to teach them the techniques of self-protection and combat skills.

"You don't have to do practical training at the moment." Xun Yang thought for a while: "I heard that if you want to practice Zixia Baoyi, you will not be able to engage in actual combat for a long time in the future. I will come back to you after you re-establish your foundation. I'll add some real practice."

After a pause, Xun Yang began to explain to Jiang Yuanchen the method of condensing the magical power of Zixia Baoyi. Xun Yang did not practice the Zixia Jue when he first started. His Zixia Baoyi magical power was also condensed through the magical talisman after the golden elixir, so he has a certain say in this aspect.

"I see that you have some foundation in bright moon visualization. You must have tried the "Moon Concentration Technique" yesterday? Let's put it down for now and concentrate on spending a few days to condense the seeds of magical power. After you finish this, you can start again. Practice the "Watching the Moon and Concentrating the Spirit". As for "The Return of All Souls", there are teachings and spiritual thoughts to teach you how to practice, so you don't need to spend time memorizing it."

Xun Yang's words finally made Jiang Yuanchen feel relieved. After all, in just one month, Jiang Yuanchen felt that it was a bit difficult to meditate on the Zixia Baoyi and the Moon Concentration Art and recite the recitation of All Souls' Return.

"Okay, you go back to practice quickly, I won't disturb you anymore." After Xun Yang said that, there was no more life in the wooden man, thinking that Master Xun had taken back his spiritual consciousness.

After Chu Chaoyun and Jiang Yuanchen bowed to the wooden man, they left together.

"Junior brother, are you coming out during the Chinese New Year?" Chu Chaoyun was cheerful and turned around and forgot about what happened a hundred times. The New Year's Day, which falls on the first day of the first lunar month, is a rare day for these immortal disciples to relax. This holiday may only occur once a year.

"During the Chinese New Year, only a few of us senior brothers live alone in the mountains. At that time, everyone will get together to celebrate the New Year. Junior brother, will you come?"

Although these brothers may not be as harmonious as they are now due to conflicting interests in the future, for now, there are not many conflicts except for Lin Zixuan and Zhu Chunzheng. At most, it was just some verbal disputes, and it would pass by talking and laughing on weekdays.

"If I can practice the magical talisman before the New Year's Day, then the New Year's Day will come naturally." Jiang Yuanchen thought for a while and said.

"Well, Senior Brother Lin may not be able to come this year due to breaking through the heartbeat period, and Senior Brother Yang may not be able to come either. Senior Brother Zhu should also be in retreat. The remaining ones are Senior Brother Tao, Senior Brother Ma, Junior Brother Wei and Junior Brother Zheng. Plus you and I, there should be six Man, it’s like catching the wind for you.”

"By the way, since you are going to retreat, remember to go to the cafeteria and ask for some more solid food and decomposition pills for use during the retreat." Chu Chaoyun thought of something again and said to Jiang Yuanchen.

Although they can go several days without eating during the foundation building period, Jiang Yuanchen will not have this ability if he resumes his training. Even if the body is still the body of a foundation-building monk, without magic power to protect the body, it will eventually need to be nourished by food. I am afraid that the issue of grain reincarnation will also have to be considered. At this time, you need to use the solution pill to vaporize the residue directly in the body.

"I guess you are not like Senior Brother Lin who has mastered True Fire early. You can directly refine the filthy things in your body through your own True Fire, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuanchen nodded. Indeed, if he was currently in seclusion, he would have to prepare these things in advance.

As the two talked, they returned to Lingyun Peak. Chu Chaoyun accompanied Jiang Yuanchen to the cafeteria to get dozens of buns before they separated halfway.

Returning to the bamboo house, Jiang Yuanchen put the food in a storage cabinet, then returned to the bed to meditate.

Zixia Baoyi, when Fu Ming put the talismans that Baoyi needed to condense into his sea of ​​consciousness, now he only needs to use his own spiritual thoughts to visualize the seeds of the talismans in his Dantian, and then press all his mana and true energy into it. , this magical talisman can be completely refined.

The spiritual whirlpool of the sea of ​​​​qi continued to rotate, and an illusory and uncertain talisman took root in the sea of ​​​​Qi in Dantian. Then Zixia Zhenyuan felt the power of the same origin blend into the talisman little by little, causing this magical seed to gradually spread its brilliance.

After two days of operation of the technique, all the true energy in Jiang Yuanchen's body was poured into the true seed. The talisman was radiant with light, and an exquisite and clear magical seed stood in the dantian, while the original sea of ​​​​qi and spirit whirlpool had long since disappeared. .

"Ahem." Jiang Yuanchen's face turned pale after the magical seeds were condensed. This practice can be said to be a real comeback of Sanqigong. He is now a little exhausted after doing it for two days.

"Gulu——" There was a drumming in his stomach, and the feeling of hunger eroded Jiang Yuanchen's whole body. Just when he was about to get up, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell off the bed.

He slowly took a breath and drank a cup of tea before taking out the buns from the storage cabinet. Although it has been stored for two days, there is a storage array to keep it fresh. Although the taste is not as good as before, it has not deteriorated.

After eating six big buns, Jiang Yuanchen recovered a little strength and had time to look at the calendar.

In the pure solar calendar year 3588, it is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the second quarter of the unitary hour.

"There are still two days until the New Year's Day." Looking at the sky, it was already the moment when the moon was hanging in the sky, so Jiang Yuanchen simply took out "Watching the Moon and Condensing Nerves" to read in detail.

The Taixu Taoist Sect admires the pure Yang way. Although menstruation is mainly based on extracting moonlight, there is also a way to swallow the essence of the sun.

Collect the essence of the sun during the day, collect the essence of the moon at night, and then neutralize the yin and yang of the essence of the sun and the moon that you have practiced in one day. The true magic power formed in the end is the real magic power of menstruation.

Menstruation is not as masculine and overbearing as Bai Yangzhengjie, nor is it as feminine as Taihe Qi, which is specially used for female cultivators. Menstruation is mainly about concentrating the mind and refining the soul, and the most important thing is to be neutral and gentle. Compared with other techniques in the foundation-building period, menstruation reading has the smallest risk of going crazy, and even if you go crazy, the harm to yourself is almost zero.

The sun and the moon are opposite each other, the sun is yang and the moon is yin. But when night falls, the moon, as a symbol of night light, also has the opposite of masculine and feminine aspects of night. Therefore, the lunar moon mentioned in menstruation is not so much the path of the cold moon and the silver moon, but more of the neutral path of yin and yang.

"So observing menstruation is a method that both men and women can practice?" Jiang Yuanchen flipped through the summary of scriptures behind the visualization chart and said to himself.

"But even women can practice menstruation. Could it be that there is a special method of slaying the red dragon? Otherwise, how would those female cultivators practice?"

Jiang Yuanchen thought and turned to the real cultivation method behind the general outline.

"It's actually a method of hiding essence and nourishing qi?" Jiang Yuanchen was stunned when he saw the actual method behind the general outline.

"I see, that's why it's better to waste your energy and re-cultivate it than to transform it."

Transforming the exercises from the foundation-building stage is just a matter of practicing from the foundation-building stage of observing menstruation, and the stage of cultivating essence and nourishing qi by observing menstruation from the very beginning. Naturally, there are some slight differences.

Reading and looking at the stage of storing essence and nourishing qi during menstruation, this stage is directly called "introducing qi into the body" in the real cultivation method of immortality. Moreover, the scriptures clearly point out that if a woman practices simply to attract the lunar moonlight, she will inevitably damage her own bones and cause disadvantages in her practice. Then she deliberately gives the example of the Cold Moon Palace in her menstruation.

"As we all know, Han Yue has a body with cold heart and ice, snow skin and cold blood. Only after forming elixir can he make up for the shortcomings of his body. The fundamental reason is that he only collects the moon essence and does not cultivate the sun essence. Without Yang, he will be alone. If the yin does not last long, you will deviate from the right path if you follow the path of yin and cold."

Next, the following is a list of benefits of observing the sun and moon during menstruation. With the help of the sun essence to warm and nourish a woman's yin body, she does not need to become a "cold heart ice body" like the Hanyue Palace due to the damage of the tai yin entering the body.

"Looking at menstruation is indeed the correct way. Compared with taking the wrong approach with the Cold Moon Palace Sword, using the cold body to accelerate the cultivation state in the ice and snow is much different."

Although Hanyue Palace is considered a cultivating sect, it is not considered a decent cultivating sect. It is just a large force brought together by a group of female cultivators. It is more about passing on the love, debts, and grievances of the founder. So they called it "palace" instead of using sect as its name.

Of course, more often than not, the word "palace" in Hanyue Palace is opposite to the Yiwang Palace in Southern Xinjiang. The founders of the two sects turned against each other during the Broken Moon War in the past. Since then, the disciples of the two sects have been fighting continuously to this day. During this period, countless pairs of crazy men and resentful women were broken up.

Any disciple of Yi Wang Palace is not allowed to marry a woman from Han Yue Palace. Any Han Yue Palace woman who meets a man from Yi Wang Palace will be killed! If there is any violation, heaven and earth will hate it!

These two factions are just like the two factions of Taixu and Jingyang. When they meet, they will inevitably fight.

Continuing to read the methods of entraining qi and refining in "Looking at Menstruation", Jiang Yuanchen suddenly had an idea and understood a little more about the practice philosophy of Taixu Taoist Sect.

"No wonder this kind of thing is not allowed to be spread outside even if it is in the foundation-building period. It involves the core practice concepts of a sect and the initial practice skills. If it is spread out, it will inevitably cause waves."

One night, Jiang Yuanchen did not directly practice according to the above method, but worked hard to explore various methods, and did not become alert until dawn.

Forcibly reading Tao Jue is indeed very nerve-wracking! It is difficult for me to continue meditating and practicing in my current state, so I might as well just relax. After Jiang Yuanchen thought about it, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. He didn't wake up again until the sunset.

Having regained his energy, Jiang Yuanchen went straight to the cafeteria to have a hot meal before returning to wait for the moon to be high in the sky to concentrate on practicing his Qi.

It has to be said that this immortal family's qi training method is better than the crude Zixia Jue. I just used the visualization diagram to visualize the sea of ​​​​consciousness and the bright moon, and inhaled and introduced the moonlight according to the method of storing essence, and I only felt a cool vitality. flow in the body.

The bright moon calmed the mind. When imagining the bright moon diagram, Jiang Yuanchen clearly felt the changes in his sea of ​​consciousness. The bright moon in the center of the originally empty sea of ​​consciousness continued to disperse the spiritual moonlight, making the space of the sea of ​​consciousness grow stronger.

Next, the moonlight warms and nourishes the body. Cultivating both life and life is the right path. While his soul was being nourished by the moonlight, his physical body also gradually absorbed the moonlight's vitality, no longer in the weak state he had been in after dispersing his energy in the previous two days.

Hiding essence and nourishing qi is to lay a foundation for oneself. After all, Jiang Yuanchen is now a foundation-building monk. It is not slow to walk again to store essence and nourish qi. In just one night, he regained his sense of qi and collected some moonlight. stored in the body.

Then, the sun rose under the moon. After the morning sun came out, Jiang Yuanchen continued to collect the sun essence into his body according to the method. After the morning sun's purple energy gradually became thinner, the essence of the sun and moon in the body was slowly blended into one, and condensed into the first natal energy.

There is naturally no process of refining the true energy in the authentic magic of immortality. What Jiang Yuanchen is practicing now is the purest true energy magic. Although it is not as powerful as a foundation-building monk, it is fundamentally the same. In the future, you only need to slowly collect the essence of the sun and the moon, and it will take a year or two to naturally fill up your own mana, and then turn it into a foundation-building mana to condense the air, sea, and spirit vortex.
