Zhao Ran lay down on the bed, preparing for the coming sleepiness. After a while, he opened his eyes, scratched his head, and got up again. Why didn't he need to sleep this time?
The reason why he didn't "accept" the appointment document on Wuji Mountain was because he had been asked to take a good nap several times before. Unexpectedly, he was now well prepared and could sleep peacefully, but he didn't need it anymore.
As expected, the exercises in Chapter 2 of the "Innate Merit Sutra" appeared in his mind at this moment.
Just like Chapter 1, the practice does not require reading, but is directly poured into the consciousness, as if it was "innately known".
The second chapter is indeed about the second half of the major cultivation step of refining and transforming qi, which is the method of condensing the essence into the elixir.
The technique was available, but Zhao Ran hesitated. The question before him was, practice it? Or not practice it?
Since his bones were straightened last year, this problem has always troubled Zhao Ran. Especially after he achieved the Great Perfection of the Taoist Realm at the end of last year, his practice stagnated, and he often thought about the dilemma.
The advantages of the Merit Sutra cultivation method are very prominent. As long as there is merit power that can be absorbed, the speed of cultivation can soar, no less than those geniuses with excellent qualifications; but the shortcomings are also obvious. His ability in the jungle of ten directions
If he fails to advance to the Taoist level, he will not be able to obtain the next step of practice, and his cultivation realm will stagnate.
Is it so easy to get a Taoist position in the Shifang Jungle? At the beginning of the year, I went to Ye Xueguan and participated in the Sichuan Provincial Conference. Zhao Ran was almost sent to Songfan by Jing Zhimo. It can be said that it was part of his Taoist "official career"
The most difficult and dangerous experience in his history almost forced him to give up his cultivation and prepare to start over.
The dangers involved are still fresh in his memory. At that time, Zhao Ran was even ready to find a way to kill Jing Zhimo after resigning from his post.
Therefore, the biggest difficulty in practicing the Merit Sutra is to be promoted in the Shifang Jungle. Once the "official career" does not go well, you will not be able to obtain the skills of the next level. Breaking the level or something, naturally has nothing to do with Zhao Ran.
But then again, Zhao Ran is really reluctant to abandon the practice method of Gong De Jing. Counting from the end of the 14th year of Jiajing, he has been practicing for more than five years. If he chooses other methods to practice, it will be equivalent to more than five years.
All the hard work was in vain.
The monk Shou Yuan in this world is not that outrageous. Especially before he cultivated the golden elixir, the Shou Yuan of the three realms of Taoist priest, Taoist priest, and Huang Guan can only be said to be slightly stronger than ordinary people for ten or eight years, so after more than five years of cultivation,
Time can be said to be very precious. If you really want to be ruthless and waste it, who can do it?
What's more, the practice method of Merit Sutra also comes with the miraculous skill of "Nine Heavens Mysterious Dragon Forbidden Technique". After several experiences of using it, Zhao Ran has "fallen in love" with telling stories to people. The effect is so cruel that it is simply
It is the best skill for fighting with others.
Want to fight? What's so good about that? How barbaric is fighting? Come on, let's fight in a civilized way. Let's sit down calmly and I'll tell you a story... The story is over. Are you sleepy? Lie down quickly.
It's all that simple.
What to do? Repair or not to repair?
Zhao Ran thought hard for a moment and made a compromise decision - practice first and then see. This was actually not a compromise, just a delay. To put it bluntly, he was still a little unwilling.
Zhao Ranfu sat on the bed and started to circulate the meridians according to the method in the second chapter of the "Innate Merit Sutra" to refine the energy in the sea of qi.
The refining process in this step is actually a compression process. The essence of the elixir is still Qi. The so-called "qi transformation" is to convert the essence into the form of "qi" in the elixir.
After the technique had been running for a week, Zhao Ran's Qi sea shook, and his eyes suddenly lit up. His vision turned into the Qi sea, and he saw a large amount of accumulated energy starting to center on the towering stick in the center of the Qi sea.
Spin slowly.
The rotation speed became faster and faster, and there was even lightning and thunder, just like the sea in a storm, setting off strong winds and huge waves.
At first, the lightning in the storm still appeared and disappeared. After a while, the lightning became thicker and thicker, appeared more and more frequently, and then turned from strips of lightning into pieces of network-like electric snakes, flashing crazily throughout the entire air sea.
The sound of thunder began to echo in Zhao Ran's ears, and the sound became louder and louder. He felt as if he was in a real violent storm, and his whole body was shivering in this powerful celestial phenomenon.
In the back garden, the butcher and Rich Man Shen raised their heads at the same time, looked at the night sky, and then continued to eat and drink.
Over there, Meng Yanzhen said to Pei Zhongning attentively: "Junior sister Pei, listen to the thunder, it seems that it is going to rain. Why don't you and I go to the pavilion to watch the rain, and I will read a poem for junior sister Pei..."
Pei Zhongze listened carefully and said: "Don't make trouble."
Meng Yanzhen said: "Yes, Junior Brother Pei will go with you too?"
Beside the Lingtan, Rong Niang looked at the stars in the sky, thought for a while, and asked Dongfang Jing: "Dongfang, this thunder?"
Dongfang Jing looked at the front yard of Junshan Temple and said attentively: "There is someone in this temple who has broken through Huang Guan."
Rong Niang was stunned: "Zhao Zhiran? No way..."
The sound of wind and thunder produced when Huang Guan broke through was not loud. A few faint sounds came from the temple house where Zhao Ran lived, and then stopped. Jin Jiu and others in the back garden yawned and waited beside them.
Didn't pay much attention.
But Dongfang Jing, Rong Niang, Pei Zhongze and others all got up and left the back garden and walked towards Zhao Ran's residence.
Zhao Ranhun didn't know that the news of his breaking through the realm had been noticed by others. When the energy rotated to the extreme and finally gathered into a ball of extremely viscous gel, the lightning and thunder gradually disappeared.
He stared at the group of elixirs that were shaped like catkins and spun around the golden stick in the center of the air sea, forming a true air vortex, which was still moving everywhere in the air sea.
The transformed energy is absorbed and continues to grow and strengthen.
Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, sat down for a moment, and made up his mind.
He decided to continue practicing the Merit Sutra. This method had too many advantages, the biggest of which was that it could break through any obstacles.
There is no need to understand, feel, or take magic pills. As long as you have the skills, there will be no obstacles to breaking through.
If we have to say there are any obstacles when breaking through the realm, it would be the obstacle of being promoted to the Taoist level. Thinking about it conversely, when practicing other skills, are there different obstacles when breaking through the realm? Compared with the profound and mysterious experience of breaking through the realm, in the Taoist level
The promotion is easier to grasp.
Zhao Ran got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Dongfang Jing, Rong Niang, the Pei brothers and sisters, Meng Yanzhen, the butcher, Shen Caizhu, Falu Taoist, etc. waiting outside the house. He said: "Everyone is friendly,
