Under the gaze of the fierce tiger, a faint spiritual light appeared around Qi Wuhuo. The young man's eyes were slightly closed. Under the guidance of the method inherited from the righteous path, his own soul controlled the vitality and traveled around the body.
With the help of this spiritual liquid, even a slightly spiritual fox in the mountains can enter into meditation, step into the state of oblivion, and practice under instinct. Not to mention Qi Wuzhuo, very soon
It was easy to enter this state.
In this state, one can vaguely feel the mysterious existence in the limbs and bones.
It's hard to describe in words, but you can feel its incomparable preciousness.
Qi Wuhuo subconsciously collected these invisible and qualityless [Primary Qi of All Things] according to the method taught by Meng Hu, collected and refined it.
The speed was slow, but the progress was real. But at this moment, Qi Wuhuo's vitality naturally circulated in his flesh and blood, and the method that the old man had previously described suddenly rose in his heart -
When the heart is empty, the spirit is concentrated, when the spirit is concentrated, the energy is gathered, when the energy is gathered, the spirit is born.
The so-called Tao.
It is between action and non-action.
Mining and refining is action, while gathering Qi and producing essence is inaction.
There is no need to distinguish between the two.
At this moment, Qi Wuhuo suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, as if the yin and yang fish were fused together, and the process of refining the essence suddenly sped up a lot. Although it was accelerated, it was in a balanced state, neither fast nor slow.
Like the wind blowing against the lotus, Qi Wuhuo's Yuan Shen was above it, and he understood the mystery of what the old man said about using the spirit to control Qi.
I was in a daze, not knowing where I was or how long it had been.
Finally, the mysterious feeling coming from the limbs and bones condenses in the lower Dantian, forming a faint aura.
It's like opening up a river channel.
The essence around him began to gather naturally.
The Yuan Jing is in the lower Dantian, the Yuan Qi is in the middle Dantian, and the Yuan Shen is in the mud ball between the eyebrows. The three of them form a faint cycle. The Yuan Jing is the foundation of life, the Yuan Qi is the harmony of flesh and blood, and the Yuan Shen is what I am.
At the moment when the three treasures appeared, Qi Wuhuo finally had a different feeling of embarking on spiritual practice, as if he used to look at the world and himself, just looking at flowers in the fog, but now, although it cannot be said to be a big
The fog dissipated with one move, and what he saw in front of him was no longer covered, but it was slightly dispersed. Suddenly he felt something, the essence sank, the vitality rose, the essence moved in response, and the young man instinctively tilted his head.
At this moment, it was actually just a dead leaf that fell from the tip of Qi Wuzhuo's hair. A white ape curiously stretched out his hand to touch Qi Wuzhuo to help him take off the leaf, but the ape was so quick and agile that it failed to touch him.
.
Qi Wuhuo tilted his head slightly, and he just missed it.
It was stunned.
Immediately, he saw the young man open his eyes with a calm expression.
The body is stained with morning dew.
The ape just reacted and his eyes widened.
Averted?!
It's not avoidance, it's like he knew in advance that he was going to stretch out his claws and made a move in advance...
The ape was puzzled and looked at his paws.
He obviously already had a trace of aura. He swallowed the elixir with Yuan Jing as the core. Later, by chance, he got a wisp of evil spirit from the three-hundred-year-old Geng-Gold raw iron and cultivated the Geng-Gold magic power. This human being has
But he is still an ordinary person, how can he predict the unknown and avoid himself?
The extremely powerful tiger, which was more than ten feet long, stood up and looked at Qi Wuhuo, surprised and uncertain:
"...Is this your first time to collect Yuan Essence?"
Qi Wuhuo nodded: "I also want to thank the mountain god for clarifying my doubts."
"No, no need to..."
The tiger shook his head.
Amber eyes looked at Qi Wuhuo and said in a low voice:
"What a talent... what a talent..."
When he saw that Qi Wuhuo didn't seem to understand where his emotion came from, he sighed, walked back to the large flat bluestone, lay down there, and said:
"Yuanjing is the life treasure of all living beings, and it must be retrieved if you want to go to the great road."
After pondering for a long time, he asked again: "How do you think I am practicing?"
Qi Wuhuo looked at the eye-catching white-fronted tiger that was more than ten feet long. He thought of his big cauldron, which was refining nine rounds of fire. It seemed that the whole mountain was drunk. He also recalled that he had seen it when he was a child. The monster said: "It's extremely powerful."
The fierce tiger accepted this compliment and said with emotion: "My practice has reached this point. I occupy the territory of sixteen mountains to nourish my vitality and refine my supernatural powers. Those who come and go are all mountain gods and earthly beings. When the land and city gods see me, they call me mountains." Sir, all demons and true spirits will avoid me when they encounter me. They will respect me when they come and go, and their souls and ghosts will be afraid of me."
"The blessing of occupying a piece of land will lead to a life span of five hundred years."
"However, I developed Yuanjing because I swallowed 1,500 years of Huangjing when I was young. By chance, and then practiced for thirty years, Yuanjing was completed, Yuanqi was generated, and Jing and Qi merged to form the innate Qi."
"But it's far inferior to you."
The tiger sighed with emotion: "Should we say that humans are more spiritual than beasts after all, or should we say that you are an extraordinary person?"
Qi Wuhuo suddenly said: "Five hundred years of Huang Jing?"
The colorful tiger smiled and replied: "It is the thousand-year-old Polygonatum japonica you are looking for. I devoured half of it when I was young and almost ruined his Taoism. Later, I visited the 18 states and promised to support him in his practice. A thousand years."
"Because you didn't do anything to him, I invited you to come here to listen to the sermon."
This five-hundred-year-old tiger stared at Qi Wuhuo.
This person's qualifications are so strong. Although it is said that the path of cultivation is one step at a time, this person's potential will make it possible to cultivate the innate energy in the future. Going one step further, three flowers will gather at the top. Such a state can be called the Taoist sect. When meeting a real person, practitioners of other sects should also respect him. In terms of overall strength, it is necessary to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and open up a level of Dharma lineage.
Therefore, the attitude of this colorful tiger, compared to the cheerful and heroic attitude at the beginning, has unconsciously become a little more calm and equal in treatment. The mountain spiritual beasts who have tasted these flavors all have slightly different expressions. There was a look of surprise and astonishment. I wonder why this mortal who has not even developed magical powers can be so valued by a mountain god?
Qi Wuhuo talked with the tiger mountain god about how to collect and practice the Yuanjing Life Treasure.
He didn't stop until three o'clock in the morning. The mountain god saw the look of leaving on Qi Wuzhuo's face, and asked with a smile: "I see you came up here carrying a basket on your back, Wuhuo. Are you here to look for medicinal materials?" If you need anything, just tell me, and as long as it's available on these mountains, I can give it to you."
Qi Wuhuo saw that the deer spirit stiffened and even stopped waving its tail.
Seeing the green snake sticking out its tongue and paused, the spirit fox lowered his head, knowing that they were cultivating elixirs. The mountain god had some grace for them and preached to them. These mountain larks would not refuse his request, but even so, it was also Afraid that Qi Wuhuo's lion would open his mouth and take away the elixir they had finally accumulated.
The young man blinked his right eye at the little deer, then lifted his backpack and replied with a smile:
"It's noon, and there is an old man at home. I came to the mountain to pick some mountain products."
"If possible, it would be nice to have winter bamboo shoots."
"I'm going to visit a friend tomorrow and bring some gifts."
After hearing the reason why Qi Wuhuo came here, the mountain god laughed happily and said: "There are no other good things in the mountains, but there are a lot of mountain goods in winter. There are as many as you want. Come and give my guests a farewell."
Gift!"
So many spiritual beasts in the mountains took action.
The spiritual snake as thick as a bowl holds a vermilion fruit on its head, the spiritual fox carries ginseng in its mouth, and the ape who has cultivated the power of Gengjin holds a gourd of wine. In addition, there are winter bamboo shoots, mountain vegetables, and kudzu root.
How much, Qi Wuhuo was stunned:
"This is……"
The young man reacted and said: "It's too much."
The tiger laughed and said, "You think we are friends and you didn't blackmail us into asking for the elixir."
"So I also consider you a friend!"
"If it was the first time for my friend to meet, how could he go back empty-handed!"
The tiger's claws control the wind, so Qi Wuhuo doesn't stop him.
Fu smiled and explained:
"Don't worry, this is all what I accumulated while traveling around the world. I won't take it from them. You're welcome!"
Before Qi Wuhuo could refuse, the small backpack was already filled with various mountain products, which were also mixed with old elixirs, ginseng, polygonatum, zhicao, and a gourd of wine brewed by Baihuabaiguo.
The familiar deer spirit also gave him a rather large Huangjing. Qi Wuhuo reached out and touched its head, making the deer spirit narrow its eyes in comfort and rub his palm.
The mountain god and tiger carried Qi Wuhuo all the way to the mountainside, then stopped and said:
"There are no chores in the mountains. If you have free time, you can always come up to the mountains to discuss the Tao."
After watching Qi Wuhuo leave, he turned back to the mountain.
Qi Wuhuo walked briskly all the way down the mountain and returned home. When he opened the door, the old man was still making tea and waiting for him to cook. Qi Wuhuo put the contents of the backpack into the warehouse and carried about ten coins.
With the money, I went to buy a pound of bacon and some vegetables. When I came back, I sliced the winter bamboo shoots and simmered the Polygonatum japonica given by Xiao Luling.
The staple food is still yellow rice and a plate of crispy side dishes.
The old man raised his eyes while making tea. When he saw Qi Wuhuo, he raised his eyes slightly and paused slightly.
"Your essence..."
Qi Wuhuo knew that the old man was unpredictable.
Put the things down and think about it.
He cupped his hands and replied:
"I've accomplished it."
