Aura, as the name suggests, is the magical power possessed by all things in the world. Its origin cannot be verified, but according to practitioners in the martial arts world, spiritual energy is the power of creation that was born when the entire Dou Wu Continent was formed. All things have animism, especially human beings. It is hard to say which spiritual beast or monk came first in this world, but what is certain is that intelligent human beings were the first to create techniques that can absorb and temper the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This kind of technique that can arbitrarily gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in one place allows human monks to practice at a speed far faster than that of spiritual beasts of the same level, gaining unshakable dominance in the continent. But at the same time, such a practice that goes against heaven seems to be jealous of heaven. The order of heaven and earth has set up one barrier after another for the monks' practice. Each threshold seems to define the practitioner's strength. If you want to break the shackles and walk further on the path of practice, you must absorb huge spiritual energy in a short period of time to break through the barrier, and at the same time pass the various tests of the order of heaven and earth. So as to look forward to a broader world. Separated by these barriers, the monks divided these multiple thresholds into different realms of cultivation.
The essence of practice is to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible from heaven and earth and transform it into more substantial spiritual power in the body, thereby repeatedly strengthening and tempering one's body and soul from the inside out until finally reaching To the supreme realm of competing with heaven and living as long as earth.
The end point of spiritual practice is a topic of discussion among monks that will never go out of style. Some people say that the end of cultivation is immortality, and that while gaining supreme magic power, one can remain young and live forever in the world; others say that no matter how powerful a monk is, he cannot escape the fate of death and will eventually return to the earth. Otherwise, why would so many famous masters who have appeared in the world disappear in the end? Some people say that there are other higher-level planes above this martial world, in which spiritual energy is more abundant than in the martial world, and the realm for practice is also higher. People in the martial world can practice to the highest realm after They will all choose to become immortal and ascend to pursue more distant goals.
But in the end, no one has ever confirmed the truth of these rumors. After all, ordinary monks are still too far away from the pinnacle of practice and are not qualified to come into contact with the world seen by those indomitable figures in the martial arts world. And whether it is Tianjihong who has just started his cultivation, or his master Li Ming, they are just one of the countless living beings fighting for their way in this mortal world at the moment. Naturally, they have no time to worry about these illusory things. The most important thing at the moment is to work steadily. Improve your own strength.
Li Ming had mentioned to Tian Jihong before that the first realm of spiritual practice is called [Physical Refining Realm]. It is a preliminary training for monks through the spiritual power they have acquired, so that the physical strength of their body is different from that of ordinary people. the primary link. However, according to the experience of people like Li Ming, if you want to lay a solid foundation at the beginning of practice, you should first use mortal training methods like Tianjihong to raise your body to the limit before running the spiritual tempering body. If you start practicing in this way, you will be able to succeed without any bottlenecks, and it will also prevent hidden dangers for further practice in the future.
According to Li Ming, this [Sympathy Technique] is the foundation of Taoist Qi training. It is the Huangjie entry-level mental method widely circulated in the mainland. It is originally a method used to cultivate one's body, nourish one's nature, and prolong life. However, despite the fact that this skill is only the lowest level yellow level, the practice of the skill is like absorbing elixirs. It is not something that can reach the sky in one step. Countless legendary beings who have left great names in the martial arts world, when they first started practicing It also starts from the most basic health maintenance tips. On the other hand, if you look back at the Shura Heart Technique at that level, you will know that higher-level techniques have extremely high requirements on the monk's cultivation, soul and even meridians. If you want to forcefully practice when your cultivation is still shallow, In the end, he can only end up with a tragic end of spiritual energy backlash and broken muscles and bones.
At this time, Li Ming asked Tian Jihong to open the booklet and read out the descriptions of spiritual power one by one. At the same time, he made an in-depth analysis based on his own practice experience: "The content of this body-nurturing formula is not too much. I think with your talent, I'm afraid. Within a few days, you will be able to memorize the contents in your mind. The method of cultivating the body is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, which respectively explain the method of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and how to circulate the spiritual energy between the meridians in the body for tempering. See its content It seems that the basics are easy to understand, but in fact when you first enter the practice, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of strange problems in the actual practice. If you don't find a master to answer these questions for you, you will need to keep trying on your own and take many detours. , in order to complete the process of cultivation.”
"Therefore, the book itself is not important and is not worth much money. It is not difficult to find such a widely circulated Huangjie Kung Fu in the market. However, those who only rely on a secret book of Kung Fu to meditate at home. Ordinary people, in actual practice, will inevitably be guided by famous teachers and avoid detours in the same level of monks. At the same time, the practice of soul power and meridians related to spiritual power practice are also complementary to each other. If there is no guidance from others, It would be impossible to slowly understand the secrets by yourself. This is also something I will explain to you one by one in the future."
"In my opinion, with your current evil talent and the physical foundation you have laid before, under my careful guidance, I am afraid that you will make explosive progress in your cultivation in a short period of time, and even reach the peak of body refining in one breath. It is not impossible to reach the realm. However, you must not feel arrogant because of this, and you still have to remember not to slack off at all in your practice, remember?"
Tianjihong nodded and said: "Yes, my disciple understands. So what about the cultivation of soul power and meridians that Master just mentioned? When I was a child, I heard my father talk about the five major meridians of the human body. , but because I haven’t started practicing spiritual power yet, I still don’t have a clear concept. Master, you might as well explain it carefully!”
"Well, since you have asked now, let me briefly explain it first. In the eyes of my teacher and other monks at a higher level, the cultivation of soul power and meridians is as important as spiritual power and they support each other. That is to say, normally, only when the spiritual power reaches a certain level can it withstand stronger soul consciousness and open up more meridians. Of course, there are many monsters in the world who can suppress their cultivation. Most of these people are intimidated by monks of the same level. Most of these people have terrifying origins and origins. They all rely on the support of many forces behind them to find some strange cultivation methods to forcibly increase the strength of their souls or meridians. In this way, in a battle of the same level, , these monsters indeed have combat power that far exceeds that of other people."
"But these are extreme situations, let's put them aside for now. A more common situation in the martial arts world is that many people's soul power and meridian cultivation cannot keep up with spiritual power cultivation. They mistakenly believe that in the face of spiritual power cultivation, the first two It is insignificant. As everyone knows, without the support of strong soul consciousness and meridians, the absorption of spiritual energy will definitely be affected. Naturally, not to mention the restrictions on learning high-level skills, even if these people can absorb the spiritual energy into the body, they will not be able to gather it in the body. The spiritual energy is completely absorbed, and there may even be situations where the spiritual energy absorbed by the technique is not as much as the spiritual energy dissipated in the body. In this way, it is extremely easy for the cultivation to stagnate or even regress."
"It's getting late today. I definitely don't have time to explain the soul power and meridians to you in detail. Besides, you'd better focus on learning this health-preserving technique at this time. I will explain the next things one by one. I've arranged it for you. The only thing I want to remind you now is that the cultivation of soul power requires condensation and absorption of [Fighting Soul]. Fighting Soul is the foundation for the condensation and application of soul power. The grade of a monk's Fighting Soul will directly It affects the intensity of soul power exertion in battle, as well as the efficiency of soul power cultivation in daily life. In the martial arts world, if you want to have a high-quality fighting soul, you have to spend a lot of money to find materials yourself, in addition to specifically learning the methods of condensation. I took the money to find a soul fighting master in the town to buy it."
"The meridian cultivation is also similar. Although its cost is less than that of fighting soul condensation, apart from the fact that you can take the opportunity to attack the shackles of the meridian when your cultivation level breaks through, you can only rely on absorbing spiritual energy to clear it on weekdays. Meridians are extremely difficult to open, and it may even be difficult to open one-tenth of a meridian in a year or two.”
"And if you want to increase the strength of the meridians when suppressing the cultivation realm, as I just said, you must purchase additional special heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist in cultivation. Even my teacher has heard that in the martial arts world there is [Cleaning Essence] Marrow Cutting Pill] is a treasure that can stably open meridians. It is said that this thing is a top-quality pill that all major sects are jealous of. Only the Tianmingwu Mansion in the Eastern Continent has the method to refine it. Just put one up for auction. They are all astronomical figures, and they are often expensive but not marketable.”
"So, the meaning of being a teacher is that in addition to practicing, you have to start worrying about your own expenses. If you want to quickly improve your cultivation without leaving any sequelae, you need to invest a lot of money. Maybe being a teacher can It helps you for a while, but you still have to rely on yourself for the longer journey. For example, as a teacher, you are actually just a member of the unremitting struggle on the road of spiritual practice, and you also rely on the many resources brought by joining the martial arts school to provide for your future. Therefore, you kid must make plans early. In addition to looking for opportunities outside like today, it is best to stay in a power to provide yourself with funds and training resources." Li Ming taught earnestly.
