Hou Tzu began a new life of spiritual practice in his new residence. It was also during the first evening class in his new residence that he swallowed the legendary Qi-enhancing Pill for the first time in his life.
He has no obsession with taking the elixir or not; if everyone takes it, and the elixir does not have any obvious side effects, why not?
In the spiritual practice circle, there are those who believe pure elixirs are king, and there are those who follow nature and refuse to take elixirs until death. Of course, these are both extremes. For most monks, the one principle everyone follows is that if you have it, take it, and if you don’t have it, just hold on.
The key is still a question of resources. There are far less elixirs than eating jelly beans that can be eaten at any time. This is a way of practice that only rich people can afford.
Take Hou Zi as an example. He is now considered to be from a famous sect. During his Qi-entraining period, he only needs a bottle of ten Qi-enhancing pills for one month. If he practices once in the morning, noon and evening, he can persist for more than three days, leaving two
Who can I go to for more than ten days?
I heard that the higher the realm, the more expensive the elixir is, the harder it is to refine, and the less you can give it out. If you want to have it at any time, you have to look at your ability to make extra money.
In Hou Zi's opinion, eat when you have it, don't worry about it if you don't have it, and just be content with the situation.
The Qi-Entraining Pill melts immediately in the mouth, turning into a stream of clear air that goes straight to the internal organs, slightly spicy, as if you are holding a hot water bottle in your body.
The effect was pretty good. His first feeling was that this food was edible and it would be of great help to his practice. But his second feeling was even worse, because he suddenly discovered that the vortex that must appear in the lower Dantian during every operation suddenly appeared.
Lost trace, disappeared?
If that thing really disappears and he returns to normal, this may not be a bad thing. After all, there must be a monster when something goes wrong; but if the appearance of the mysterious vortex is affected just by swallowing the pill, then the problem is a bit tricky.
Dan, should you swallow it or not? Should you continue the whirlpool journey? This is a question!
Make him feel upset.
I walked out of the room, looked up at the stars in the yard, and thought about my thoughts alone; intermittent singing could be faintly heard from the yard next to me:
...The morning clouds are shining, the dusk rain is falling, and the peaks are leaning against each other. The Wu Gorge is high in the Tang Dynasty, and the Chu Palace is locked in verdant green. Painted halberds move the spring, beautiful makeup greets the horses, and the city of Sichuan.
Thousands of miles into the wasteland, hanging in the shadow, what a joy it is. After traveling through southern Guizhou, to the fifth day of the sky, you can see the Shenzhou, thousands of miles of smoke and water. In the wine court, there are fine people from China and North Korea. Their cheeks are deeply red, and their musk navels are fragrant.
It is the voice of a woman, with a deep and magnetic voice, beautiful rhythm, and a long aftertaste. Compared with the graceful and ups and downs of Anhe's lyrics and music, it has an extraordinarily desolate meaning. This cannot be learned, and it lies in the rendering of the environment.
The soil and water support people, and the mountains and rivers support love.
He did not investigate the source of the sound in detail, nor did he want to know which woman was injuring herself in the mirror. These mortal stories were getting further and further away from him. Now that he had left, he should not look back.
The next day it became clear that when the Golden Crow leaped, he started his morning class; this time he did not swallow the pill, and sure enough, the mysterious vortex appeared again.
The soul entered the soul realm and not long after advancing in the passage, he encountered a problem that he had been worried about. There was a fork in front of him, but he didn't know which one was the right way?
No basis for judgment!
Over the past few days, he has killed hundreds of wandering souls. Every time he kills the opponent, he can strengthen himself by absorbing it, but what he absorbs is only energy, but no consciousness. The consciousness of these low-level wandering souls is chaos, and they have no consciousness at all.
Without any order, all that remains is the instinct to kill.
This made it impossible for him to gain knowledge of this soul realm by absorbing these energies.
If it is a maze, the only choice he can make is to always take the left path, or always take the right path, and he can always come out. This is a very stupid method, but it can ensure that he does not miss the correct one.
He chose the left one among the two forks in the road, and left a complex mark that was unique to him at the fork in the road when he left. He hoped that this place would not change at any time, otherwise it would really be a road that would never lead.
Another soul appeared in front of him, and he carefully positioned himself. He was no longer as impulsive as before after killing the sword soul, thinking that he could get through here.
Because he discovered that the abilities of the wandering souls that appeared were also quietly growing; was it growing based on the improvement of his own abilities, or was this soul realm inherently like this, with more and more challenges?
If he were to walk through this soul path, how tall would the most powerful wandering soul he would encounter be?
You can't close your eyes and rush forward, because many of today's wandering souls can not only use weapons, but also use spells! Or the soul body is extremely strong, just like the real world of cultivation, with Taoism, magic cultivation, and sword cultivation.
, bone repair, body repair, blood repair, etc. The current soul realm is also developing in this area.
Before contact, he could not predict what he was encountering.
In the cautious testing of both parties, the distance gradually narrowed. The wandering soul opened his mouth, and a ball of flame spurted out...
It's a Taoist cultivator! Hou Zi ducked down to avoid the flames and jumped flat on the ground. His body kept swaying from side to side as he rushed forward. He avoided the continuous flames, but there was still a passage that passed by him, making his soul state unstable.
But he can endure all this!
Until he got close, he suddenly jumped up and slashed him down with a sword!
It must be admitted that his current sword skills are becoming more concise and fierce, his moves are hidden and unpredictable. Basically, Taoist cultivators like this will not be able to escape from his head-on blow after being approached by him.
However, there was something unexpected this time! When the wandering soul saw him leaping up close to him, he did not dodge. Instead, his soul light shook, and his soul body suddenly floated forward. He punched out a fierce punch with one fist, and the hand floated in the air.
The Hou Tzu was almost torn apart by the click.
It's not a Taoist cultivator, it's a physical cultivator! The flame just now is not a spell, but a supernatural power! Or is it a Taoist cultivator who likes to practice boxing?
He knew he couldn't retreat, otherwise he would have to do the risky approach all over again, and he didn't know if he could hold on until he got in front of this guy.
Fists and swords flew together, their souls and bodies entangled inextricably. Hou Zi could no longer remember how many punches he had received, but he knew very well how many swords his opponent had received!
This is a tragic situation in which both sides suffer losses. When the opponent's soul is cut into pieces and disappears into smoke, he himself is also in pieces and loses his soul shape, and both of them return to nothingness.
Opening his arms, Hou Zi woke up from the soul state. He suddenly realized that he seemed to be inseparable from such a hearty battle, so let the elixir go to hell!
This was the decision he made. He swallowed the first pill in his life and the last pill in his life.
Just move forward in an ordinary way, why do you do things you don't like just for the sake of speed?
...There is no need to be strange in learning the Tao, there is nothing to overcome but something to do. The Qi is calm and uninterrupted, and the mind is calm and clear.
