The first realm of cultivation in this world is the Qi Gathering realm.
By absorbing the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it gathers the source of true energy, and then opens up 360 acupoints throughout the body to achieve the effect of strengthening the body and laying a solid foundation for subsequent practice.
Taoism calls this process "building the foundation," Buddhism and Confucianism call it "cultivation," and secular martial arts call it "tongmai."
The term "Gathering Qi" is a way of calling it inherited from ancient times.
The opening chapter of "The Record of the God of Black Iron Forging" is no different from the opening chapter of ordinary exercises. They all briefly introduce the mystery of "Qi Gathering Realm". However, there is one difference. The Record of the God of Black Iron Forging clearly points out that,
"Forging God Record" pays more attention to the opening and application of spiritual consciousness. When in the Qi Gathering Realm, this skill is no different from ordinary skills. The place where it really comes into play is after opening up the Divine Sea.
Su Anran's simple understanding is that the rank must be at least bronze or above.
The way to practice is to meditate and then feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This state is called seeking qi, and it is also the entry point to practice.
People without talent will never be able to get started even if they have secret books of such skills. Such people will always be mortals. And those who are gifted and able to perceive spiritual energy can use the skills recorded in the secret books.
Adjust your own breathing rhythm, resonate with the spiritual energy, and then incorporate it into yourself, turning into a breath of innate true energy.
To open acupuncture points, you need to accumulate several mouthfuls of Qi in the body, and then use the accumulated Qi to attack the blocked acupuncture points until they are opened.
The quality of the exercises determines the degree of cohesion, transformation, and amount of energy that can be accumulated.
For example, low-grade exercises can generally only accumulate two to three mouthfuls of true energy, medium-grade exercises four to five, high-grade exercises six to eight, and top-grade exercises nine.
Mouth is both a quantifier and an adjective.
The degree of transformation of a breath of true energy, depending on the level of the skill, takes about three to nine breaths. The higher the level of the skill, the fewer times it takes. The breathing rhythm of "Black Iron Forging God Record" is about
Every three breaths of spiritual energy inhaled is enough to transform into one breath of true energy.
Su Anran followed the instructions recorded in the exercise method and began to close her eyes and meditate, completely emptying her body and mind.
Ten seconds passed.
Su Anran smacked her lips.
A minute passed.
Su Anran felt itchy all over.
Five minutes have passed.
Su Anran started to have random thoughts.
Half an hour passed.
Su Anran finally stopped thinking.
Because he fell asleep.
"Damn!" Su Anran threw "Black Iron Forging God's Record" to the ground, her face looked very ugly, "This is impossible to practice."
He still remembered that when he was talking to Miaoyan Miaoxin just now, both of them made it clear that they realized the energy of Qi in about one stick of incense, so that they could start the second step: adjusting the breathing frequency and absorbing the spirit into the body.
gas.
Su Anran didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that this was normal, but now it seems that he is likely to be stuck in the step of understanding Qi.
Suddenly he understood why Huang Zi said that all those who traveled through time were losers.
After experiencing the colorful world and information explosion in modern society, it is really difficult to meditate.
Thinking of this, Su Anran felt that she still had to go to Huang Zi to ask about the situation. After all, his Fifth Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Sister were also time travelers. Now that they can travel out of the valley, they have obviously improved their cultivation.
However, before Su Anran could go out, Huang Zi came to Su Anran's courtyard first.
"Master." Su Anran hurriedly went out to greet him.
Su Anran had very complicated feelings about her fellow countryman, but the proper etiquette was still indispensable.
"Okay, if there's no one around, you don't have to be too reserved. You can shout as much as you want. They are all young people in the new era. I don't know what you are thinking." Huang Zi seemed to like curling his lips very much, and Su Anran was thinking about it.
The fact that the corners of his mouth didn't droop must be due to his good practice.
Su Anran smiled awkwardly.
If he was facing an ancient person, he might be able to call him Master with peace of mind.
But facing a person who looked about the same age as herself, Su Anran did feel a little embarrassed: "What about Lao Huang?"
"You big-headed idiot, do I look old?" Huang Zi slapped him in the face.
"Then...Xiao Huang?"
Another slap came over: "How can I say that I am also your nominal master, and do I look younger than you?"
"Then tell me what to call you."
"Just call me Huang Zi."
"I'll just call you Your Majesty."
"I don't mind if you shout like that." Huang Zi said calmly.
Su Anran was speechless.
I have seen thick-skinned people, but I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned.
He even suspected that Huang Zi just wanted to slap him twice, so he decided to ignore the question of address: "By the way, I just have a question I want to ask you."
"You can't enter samadhi, right?" Huang Zi looked like he had expected it. "For people like you and me who came from the earth, it's normal for us to be unable to enter samadhi."
"What about Fifth Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Sister? How did they solve this problem?"
"Their situation is quite special, different from ours." Huang Zi shook his head, "In Lao Wu's world, the Qin Dynasty did not perish and continued. Moreover, the direction of civilization development was completely skewed. There was no such thing as the Industrial Revolution. It was a
It was a purely low-level world of martial arts, so it only took her about ten days to enter samadhi."
"Lao Liu's world is a little more complicated. The previous timelines are similar. However, ten years after the bipolar pattern was formed, the Third World War broke out, and then the whole world became a mess." Huang Zi said with a sigh on his face.
Said, "Although the society in her world is technologically advanced, it is all focused on war equipment, and there is no harassment from the fancy world, so in about one or two months, she will be able to enter meditation."
Having said this, Huang Zi shook his head slightly, "Under normal circumstances, with your current condition, you can almost enter samadhi after living here for four or five months."
"Four or five months? Doesn't that mean the day lilies are almost cold?"
"I'm talking about normal conditions."
Su Anran's eyes lit up and she immediately showed a flattering smile: "Brother Huang, Master Huang, Your Majesty, look..."
Huang Zi looked at Su Anran for a long time, and then breathed out: "I don't believe you if you are so shameless and say you are not from the same place as me." While saying this, he turned his right hand and said,
Huaguang Shines: "The promised big gift package can help you enter samadhi quickly."
It's said to be a big gift package, but it's really a big gift package.
A square white cardboard box with a red ribbon tied on it and a bow.
"Is this a storage ring?" Su Anran's first glance was not at the big gift bag, but at the small ring on Huang Zi's hand.
"You are overthinking again." Huang Zi used the "dream shattering method" without mercy, and said calmly, "A gift package for apprentices produced by the system."
"My beautiful fantasy about the world of Xianxia has almost been ruined by you." Su Anran had a look of pain on her face, and then reached out to take the gift bag.
But soon, he came to his senses: "Wait a minute! After I became your apprentice, this is a reward that your leader system must give, so weren't you deceiving me when you said you would give me a big gift package?
!Fuck!”
"I added some special ingredients to this gift package." Huang Zi looked at Su Anran calmly, "General gift packages are just ordinary white clothes, but this one I give you is a gold one with special ingredients. Gold! Legend! Do you understand?
Understand!"
"What's the difference?" Su Anran took a look at the cardboard box in her hand and didn't see anything special.
"A typical apprentice gift bag is about fifteen Mortal Qi Gathering Pills and two soothing incense sticks." Huang Zi pointed at the paper box in Su Anran's hand, and then said, "But yours is different. There are nine incense inside."
Ten top-quality Qi-gathering pills and eight soothing incense sticks... The Qi-gathering pills are not important, the important thing is the soothing incense. Lighting this can help you enter samadhi quickly. Each stick can burn for seven days, and these eight sticks are probably enough for you.
Two months.”
"You mean, I have to master the method of entering samadhi within two months?"
"It's easy to communicate with smart people." Huang Zi nodded, "You only have three months. With these eight soothing incense, you don't have to worry about entering samadhi in the first two months. And like this
One of the best Qi Gathering Pills is equivalent to nine mouthfuls of Qi. You don’t have to skimp on this. If it’s not enough, just go to your senior sister. She can make this thing as easily as drinking water.”
"Is Senior Sister so awesome?"
"Nonsense." Huang Zi rolled his eyes, "After all, your senior sister carries a medicine god grandma with her. She can refine this first-order elixir without making any mistakes with her eyes closed."
"Senior Sister is carrying an old lady with you!?"
"Your Fifth Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Sister have systems, and you also have a system. What's wrong with your Senior Sister carrying an old lady with you?" Huang Zi said with a look of disdain, "But if you take too many Qi Gathering Pills in a short period of time, it will cause
The term drug resistance is equivalent to a punishment CD, which has no effect at all. Therefore, you cannot take more than ten pills a day. And when you first enter samadhi, you should not take Qi Gathering Pills until you can really open up the first acupuncture point.
After the acupuncture is clear, start practicing with the help of Qi Gathering Pills."
What Huang Zi meant was for Su Anran not to rely too much on external objects, but to at least experience the feeling of opening up the acupuncture points for herself before starting to practice quickly with the help of drugs.
If it weren't for the rush of time, Su Anran felt that Huang Zi would not even prepare a big gift package for him.
At least judging from what Huang Zi said just now, the Fifth Senior Sister and the Sixth Senior Sister, who were both good-for-nothing time travellers, Huang Zi did not prepare a big gift package for them at the beginning, and it was entirely up to them to find their way into meditation on their own.
From this point of view, Su Anran felt that Huang Zi, the master, was still competent.
"By the way, speaking of it, Your Majesty, you came here in 12 years, but it seems that you have stayed in this world for more than six years." Su Anran felt that it would be much easier to call him a nickname or a nickname. Anyway, after the prince ascended the throne, he
Your Majesty, he doesn't feel anything embarrassed.
"Well, I've been here for a while." Huang Zi nodded, "But I feel like it hasn't been that long. It seems like I just traveled here yesterday."
"Ever thought about going home?"
“The wind carries dandelions flying all over the world, and wherever they land they are home.”
"Okay, let's stop being aggressive and talk normally. I'm tired." Su Anran shook his head. He could hear Huang Zi's overtone, which was nothing more than saying that he was an orphan.
"I understand this only after dealing with big monks in this world a lot, but judging from your conversation with that little monk today, it's not simple."
"I was raised by my grandma, and she believes in Buddhism."
Huang Zi nodded, knowing that Su Anran was also a person with a story: "Then come here..."
"My grandma has been devout all her life. She is very happy to be able to listen to the scriptures in front of the Buddha."
"It's okay, this will be your home from now on." Huang Zi patted Su Anran on the shoulder, "I'll wait until you come back from the secret realm to upgrade the League of Legends version."
Su Anran's head is full of dark things, this guy is really obsessed with this matter.
"How many years have you been in this world?"
Huang Zi, who was about to leave, turned his back to Su Anran and stretched out the thumb and little finger of his left hand, making a six gesture.
"Sixty years?"
Huang Zi shook his head.
"Six hundred years!?"
"Six thousand years."
"I'll go! You old fool! Is there anything wrong with me calling you Lao Huang?"
"Of course it's not right. I look just a few years older than you. Besides, I still think about entertainment. I have a young mentality. Hurry up and improve your cultivation. I'm still waiting for you to draw comics."
