"Chang'er, you go back to Tuyuan Yuan's residence to tidy up, and you will move to Shi Dongfu today. You can take this token!" Liu Yu followed a sturdy young man who walked out of Daozong Hall, took out a Dongfu token and handed it over. Said to the boy behind him.
"Thank you, Master. Disciple, go and take care of it now!" The sturdy young man is Tuoba Chang. His cultivation has reached the fourth level of Qi training. He successfully passed the test of Chuyuan Hall a few days ago. Liu Yu accepted him under his sect as promised. This is not just a matter of time. Then he took this young apprentice to Daozong Hall to register as master and apprentice.
"Go!" Liu Yu nodded and said. After watching his new apprentice leave, he summoned a flying sword and flew towards the Holy Talisman Hall of Yantian Peak. Today's drawing task has not been completed yet, and there are still six pictures left. The talisman "Yinfengthorn" is not drawn.
Liu Yu has been working as the "Senior Talisman Master" of the Holy Talisman Hall for recent years. His daily talisman drawing task is almost fixed, which is eight "Yinfengsta" talismans. During this period, the only difference was two days last month. Those two Tian's talisman painting task was to draw ten "Five Poison Miasma Exploding Talismans". After completion, the sect was rewarded with two thousand contribution points for each one.
After returning to the Talisman Painting Room of the Holy Talisman Hall, Liu Yu began to draw the Talisman. It took about half an hour to draw a "Yinfeng Thorn". It was not until Shen Shi completed today's Talisman Drawing Task that he called the warehouse disciples to draw the Talisman. The eight "Yin Wind Thorns" were taken away together with the remaining talisman blood, talisman paper, Yin Stone and other spiritual materials.
Liu Yu did not return to the cave immediately. Instead, he brewed a pot of spiritual tea and took a break for two cups. Then he sat down at the talisman table, spread out a large piece of high-quality rice paper, and dipped it in cinnabar talisman. Mo, began to practice calligraphy and painting various runes that constitute the "Five Spirits Cutting Yuan Talisman" spell.
"Five Spirits Cutting Yuan Talisman" is the common name talisman. The third-grade talisman consists of thirty-nine basic runes, five "Qi Blade" advanced runes and one "Five Spirits Combined Cutting Three" core rune. The fourth-level talisman consists of forty-five basic runes, five advanced "air blade" runes, five advanced "melting spirit" runes, and one "Five Spirits Combined Slash" "Chang'er, you go back to your residence in Tuyuanyuan to clean up." Soon, I will move to Shidong Mansion today. Take this token! "Liu Yu was followed by a sturdy young man who walked out of the Daozong Hall, took out a cave token and handed it to the young man behind him and said.
"Thank you Master, I'll go take care of you now!" The sturdy young man is Tuoba Chang. He is fourteen years old and has reached the fourth level of Qi training. He successfully passed the Chu Yuan Hall test a few days ago, and Liu Yu accepted him as his disciple as promised. , not long ago, he took this young apprentice to Daozong Hall to register as master and apprentice.
"Go!" Liu Yu nodded and said. After watching his new apprentice leave, he summoned a flying sword and flew towards the Holy Talisman Hall of Yantian Peak. Today's drawing task has not been completed yet, and there are still six pictures left. The talisman "Yinfengthorn" is not drawn.

Then he sat down at the talisman table, spread out a large piece of high-quality rice paper, and dipped it in cinnabar talisman.

"Five Spirits Cutting Yuan Talisman" is the common name talisman. The third-grade talisman consists of thirty-nine basic runes, five "air blade" advanced runes and one "Five Spirits Combined Cut·Three Types" core rune. The fourth-level spell consists of forty-five basic runes, five advanced "air blade" runes, five advanced "melting spirit" runes, and one "Five Spirits Combined Slash·Fourth Type" core rune.
The sixth-grade talisman consists of 60 basic runes, five "Air Blade" advanced runes, five "Wind Speed" advanced runes, ten "Spirit Fusion" advanced runes, and ten "Ju Yuan" core runes. Wen, a core rune of "Five Spirits Combined Slash·Six Types" consists of ninety-one runes in total, which is extremely complex.
Liu Yu first drew these runes over and over on rice paper to become familiar with the general trend of the lines of these obscure, profound and unfamiliar runes. Before using talisman paper and other spiritual materials to draw, he first developed his brushwork through practice. When he actually started practicing , which can avoid some unintentional loss of spiritual materials.
In the past year, Liu Yu has been able to draw the third-grade "Five Spirits Cutting Yuan Talisman", with a success rate of 70%. The finished talismans he practiced during this period were sold in the Yufu Building. I heard that the price was pretty good.
Now Liu Yu began to try the fourth-level spell of this talisman. This practice continued until it was dark outside and the moon came, and Liu Yu put down the talisman pen in his hand.
…
"Master!" After leaving the Holy Talisman Hall, Liu Yu and Yue'er went to the dining hall to order some spiritual food. After eating, they returned to their respective caves. At this moment, the young apprentice Tuoba Chang had moved in from Tuyuanyuan. He bowed respectfully to Liu Yu in the cave hall.
"Chang'er! Everything is packed, have you eaten yet?" Liu Yu really forgot about this child for a moment and asked hurriedly.
"We went to the dining hall to eat!" Tuoba Chang stretched his body, looked down at the ground, and said with some embarrassment.
"That's good, come and sit down!" Liu Yu cordially invited Tuoba Chang to sit down at the stone table.
"Chang'er, how old are you this year!" Tuoba Chang was still a child and had only met his master a few times. It was inevitable that he was still a little unfamiliar. In order to relieve the tension in his heart, Liu Yu immediately started chatting and asked.
"Fourteen!" the boy said while rubbing his hands.
"What kind of exercises do you practice?" Liu Yu then asked.
"The technique that this disciple practices is the "Rock Mind Technique"!" Tuoba Chang said immediately as he has a single spiritual root of the earth element, and the technique was arranged by his family.
"From now on, I will live here as my master. If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions about your cultivation, you can come to me at any time!" Liu Yu nodded and said kindly.
The "Yan Yi Jue" practiced by this boy is an advanced Xuanpin skill of the earth system, focusing on the four meridians of Danqi, Danyuan, Danjing and Danyang. Although Liu Yu has never practiced this skill, the way of practice is similar. Liu Yu's current cultivation and experience are naturally more than enough to guide Tuoba Chang, a young qi training disciple.
"Master! After I moved to the cave and settled down today, I had nothing to do, so I started to meditate and practice. The practice did not last as long as usual, and for some reason, I felt a dull pain in my meridians." The young man hesitated for a moment, raised his head and asked.
"Oh! Take a look, master!" Liu Yu placed two fingers on the pulse point of Tuoba Chang's wrist which he stretched out his left hand on the stone table. His spiritual sense penetrated and understood the meridians of Tuoba Chang's body. Soon the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, The reason has apparently been discovered.
"How do you practice on weekdays, and how long do you practice?" Liu Yu withdrew his spiritual consciousness, released Kaiba Chang and said.
"The disciples first swallow one "Huangtian Pill" during daily practice. After refining for half an hour, they continue to absorb the earth spiritual energy and practice. They meditate and perform exercises for about two hours. In addition, after two days, they will also take one "Qi Consciousness Pill". Dan." Tuoba Chang said truthfully.
"Huangtian Pills" is a second-grade high-grade earth-based elixir that sells for a lot of money. Each pill costs about five low-grade spiritual stones. The "Qi Consciousness Pill" is a special elixir that dissolves the fourth blocked vein, the "Qi Consciousness Vein". , which sells for about 30 low-level spiritual stones. As Tuoba Chang is a direct descendant of the Tuoba family, he naturally has no shortage of spiritual stones.
"How long have you been practicing today before you start to feel discomfort in your meridians?" Liu Yu then asked.
"After refining a "Huangtian Pill" and then meditating for only about half an hour, my meridians started to feel uncomfortable!" Tuoba Chang said immediately.
"Okay! For the Qi training period, the purpose of meditating to absorb spiritual energy is to dissolve the blocked meridians. In this way, the longer the meditation time, the better the practice effect. Then I would like to ask you, why do you only practice two or three exercises on weekdays? An hour? Are you lazy on purpose?" Liu Yu said with a smile.
"No, no!" Tuoba Chang said hurriedly, waving his hands.
"Okay, I'm teasing you!" Liu Yu said with a smile, and then continued: "Chu Yuandian should have taught me that while practicing Qigong to absorb spiritual energy, it will consume one's own essence and soul. Maintaining the state of the meridians and absorbing external spiritual energy, moving the energy internally will consume the soul energy, and the increased consumption of essence and soul energy will make the physical body empty, the soul will be sluggish, and the human body will feel very tired."
"The effect of such practice will become worse and worse, and you need to take a break in time to recover the damaged essence and soul. So it's not that you are lazy, but meditating for two hours is the most reasonable length of daily practice for you. Yes or no?"
"That's right!" The young man nodded quickly.
"I think when you were studying at Chuyuan Hall, the teacher also said that the two major factors that restrict the monks' daily practice time during the Qi training period are essence and soul energy. Today, my teacher will tell you about another major factor that hinders the daily practice time. It’s because of the “meridians’ endurance.” Liu Yu put away her smile and said seriously.
"At that time, the teacher also mentioned the "meridian endurance" during the lecture, but the teacher said that in the early stages of Qi training, disciples do not need to consider this for the time being, so he did not explain it in detail!" Tuoba Chang sat upright and said carefully.
"The teacher is right! Due to the lack of essence and soul energy of disciples in the early stage of Qi training, under normal circumstances, there is indeed no need to consider this factor. However, in order to have a deeper understanding of the mysteries of Qi practice, you should understand it earlier. This is what your meridians are today. Cause of discomfort.”
"What is "meridian endurance"? In layman's terms, it refers to the toughness of the monk's own meridians and the corresponding ability to absorb spiritual energy for a long time."
"A monk's meditation exercise, simply put, uses the five main meridians as channels to consume essence and absorb free spiritual energy from the outside world for practice. This process is accompanied by an appropriate amount of spiritual energy flowing into the Dantian through the meridians continuously. The spiritual root meridians of the monks are like human blood vessels. , the spiritual energy continuously passes through the five main meridians, just like the flow of essence and blood in the blood vessels, it will cause the walls of the meridians to bulge, causing continuous impact on the entire meridians."
"As for the five main meridians as the main channels, whether they are strong, how much spiritual energy they can withstand, and how long they can withstand continuous impact, all of these restrict the length of daily practice. When you continue to exercise and absorb spiritual energy for practice, you will feel a dull pain in the meridians. Or discomfort is a sign that the walls of the five main meridians cannot bear it!"
"At this time, the effect of practice will be significantly reduced. If you still don't stop practicing, the discomfort will become more and more intense, and even the stinging pain will be unbearable. If you continue to hold on, the damage to the walls of the meridians will continue to approach the limit, and eventually it will be sustained by the surging spiritual energy. Broken, the consequences of meridian rupture are extremely serious and extremely difficult to repair!”
"Remember not to force your cultivation. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. The road to cultivation is long. If you persevere, concentrate on meditation, you will be successful." Liu Yu slowly explained.
"Disciple, please remember this!" Tuoba Chang responded half-understood, then thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you saying that the disciple is not feeling well today because his meridians cannot bear it?"
"The cave here is located at the half-peak area of the main peak, and the concentration of spiritual energy around it is much higher than that of the Chuyuan Hall at the foot of the mountain. When you meditate and meditate, do you feel that the amount of spiritual energy you absorb is much greater than usual?" Liu Yu straightened the tea cup and gave it to him. He poured himself a cup of cold spiritual tea, moistened his mouth and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tuoba Chang nodded hurriedly. Because the spiritual energy around the cave was too strong, he couldn't help but meditate before it was time to practice.
On weekdays, Tuoba Chang starts practicing at midnight, exercises his energy until late at night, and then goes to bed. During his sleep, his physical body's energy naturally grows, and he slowly recovers the essence and soul energy consumed by his practice.
"Although the duration of your meditation today is less than usual, the total amount of spiritual energy absorbed in a short period of time is higher than usual practice. Unconsciously, the meridians have endured a large amount of impact, which has almost exceeded the reasonable limit that the meridians can withstand. Naturally, you will feel Discomfort."
"In the future, when practicing in the cave, pay attention to two points. First, do not absorb the external spiritual energy too much during practice. Second, in the future, there is no need to take auxiliary practice elixirs such as "Huangtian Pills". The spiritual energy in the cave is abundant, and you can practice meditation. It is the best practice. Of course, you can still take the "Qi Consciousness Pill"." Liu Yu continued to explain and warned.
In fact, as Liu Yu said, when the external spiritual energy is abundant, meditation is the most suitable way for cultivators to practice. Assistive cultivation pills are nothing but external force. They can only be used when the external spiritual energy is insufficient or the practice time is limited. , it is necessary to use auxiliary elixirs to practice.
Although taking auxiliary elixirs for practice generally does not require the consumption of one's own energy, it is logically said that this will increase the daily practice time in disguise, but the impact intensity of the power of elixirs on the meridians is higher than that of normal Qi practice. That is to say, it will increase the burden on the meridians, thereby reducing the normal duration of Qi receiving practice.
As for whether you should take auxiliary elixirs to practice, you need to make a decision based on your own situation. As for Yi Tuoba Chang, he previously practiced in Chuyuan Hall, and the concentration of spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain was not enough to allow him to reach the level of meridians during daily practice. The limit of what he could endure was the lack of his own essence and soul that restricted his daily practice time.
At this time, taking "Huangtian Pills" first to refine the medicinal power and practice will only increase the burden on the meridians, but there will be no loss of essence, because there is no need to consume essence to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, and the consumption of soul energy is also minimal.
This will not affect his subsequent normal Qi practice, because the two practices added together will not exceed the critical value that his meridians can withstand.
When Tuoba Chang moved to Liu Yudong Mansion, the concentration of spiritual energy was much higher than what he needed for his own practice. The two factors of essence and soul energy were no longer the factors that restricted the duration of daily practice. Because the concentration of spiritual energy was too high, he would not be able to practice for a long time. When the essence and soul energy are insufficient and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed is too large, the critical value of the meridians' endurance has been reached.
Therefore, if Tuoba Chang continues to take "Huangtian Pills" for practice, it will only accelerate the threshold of the meridians' endurance and reduce the duration of practice. And the medicinal power provided by "Huangtian Pills" is compared with the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the reduced practice time. Under the premise that the spiritual energy of the cave is so abundant, it is not dominant, which means that the elixir is wasted.
"Master, disciple understands!" After Liu Yu explained, Tuoba Chang pondered for a moment, figured it out in his mind, and nodded calmly.
…
After some instructions, Liu Yu asked Tuoba Chang to go back to the stone room to rest, and he also returned to the stone room to prepare for daily practice. In fact, what Liu Yu just said was the same for himself. After moving to the new cave, Liu Yu almost I no longer take "Ginger Shendan" and "Golden Milk Pill". I only need to exercise and meditate on weekdays.
Only in the two days last month, because drawing the "Five Poisons Exploding Miasma Talisman" took up too much time, resulting in insufficient time for meditating, I had to take a few pills.
Liu Yu has an extremely busy schedule every day and has very little free time. If he is delayed for a long time in drawing the talisman, it will affect his daily practice, so he still prepares more than a dozen pills of these two pills.
Liu Yu walked between the cave and the Holy Talisman Hall almost every day. The daily task of painting eight "Yinfeng Thorns" took four hours, practicing the "Tao Soul Heart Sutra" for an hour, and the "Qingyuan Jue" once every two days. One hour, the main exercise "Jin Tu She Tao Jing" is about five hours.
The little free time left is either used to practice drawing new talismans, or used to practice and review the various spells he has mastered, such as "Psychic Eyes", "Xuanxue Escape", "Soul-Taking Technique", etc. , when there is still time, I will go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to borrow ancient Taoist books.
Liu Yu lit the spiritual sandalwood incense burner, sat cross-legged on the power futon, and calmed down. He took a purple jade bottle and poured out an appropriate amount of "Amethyst Spiritual Honey". He swallowed it in one gulp, and the fragrance was in his mouth, refreshing, and then he drank. A wisp of cold energy rises from the belly, making people feel ecstatic.
The rising wisps of spirit honey energy were directly introduced into the Zifu, and were absorbed one by one by the dove egg-sized "Original Pill" suspended in the middle. While cultivating the spirit of the Yuan Dan, it also produced a little light yellow pill energy.
After all the "Amethyst Spiritual Honey" in the belly is refined, the faint elixir energy generated in the Yuan Dan in this half hour is worth ten days of hard training. The effect is particularly remarkable, but it is too expensive and difficult to book. .
However, Liu Yu has made an agreement with Shopkeeper Li of Bai Xinglin that if the goods arrive in the store again, he will give himself a bottle. As for the spirit stones, he will earn more after spending them. He will work harder and take the time to draw more talismans to sell.
