The wooden top stopped spinning.
After losing the pulling force between the rotation of the central axis and the reverse conical motion of the central axis around the vertical line, it could no longer maintain balance and rolled down from Shu Guan's body.
Shu Guan sat up quickly and picked up the birthday present he had received when he was nine years old from the ground.
In fact, he had never played with this wooden top since the afternoon of his ninth birthday. He usually threw it in the room where the sundries were kept and never looked at it again until he left Taoyuan Village and played with it again. It took a lot of time to rummage through countless clutter.
This was the first time since he took the wooden top from the old cripple's hand that he looked at the wooden top so seriously, attentively, and carefully.
But even though Shu Guanming had witnessed it with his own eyes and felt the magic of this wooden top, the wooden top he was holding now still looked so ordinary.
Of course, Shu Guan was not surprised.
The gifts given to him by the old lame man were all like this. Even if he already roughly knew how to use them, the giant bow with horns and the knife with sharp horns looked just as ordinary without the infusion of spiritual power.
So at this time, Shuguan immediately injected spiritual power into the wooden top.
He has actually done this before.
After discovering the secrets of the great bow and iron arrows, he tried to inject spiritual power into every gift he left for the old cripple.
But at that time, except for the sharp knife, other gifts did not respond.
But now that this wooden top has demonstrated its magical abilities, maybe it will become different?
But Shu Guan was immediately disappointed because he couldn't even inject spiritual power into the wooden top.
This wooden top was affecting or controlling the spiritual energy in Shu Guan's body just now, causing the spiritual energy to rotate and stop with it.
But now, even spiritual power cannot be injected into it.
Shu Guan was a little disappointed, but then his heart moved again.
...Wait a minute, it seems that I clearly injected spiritual power into this wooden top last time... It just made no difference after injecting spiritual power... But now I can't even inject spiritual power...
Does this count as a change?
Shu Guan's eyes lit up.
This birthday gift has actually been activated by myself?
But the condition that triggers it is not spiritual power?
Shu Guan placed the wooden top on the ground, held the upper end with two fingers, and turned it gently.
Then the wooden top began to spin on the ground.
In a sense, what the old cripple said was absolutely right. The top spins because you want it to spin.
Although even now, Shu Guan still feels that this sentence is full of strong words.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the mantra of the old cripple as a natural and unreasonable self-confidence, or you can also understand it as a strong word and unreasonable!
Shu Guan thought this while paying attention to the changes in spiritual power within his body.
Then he was disappointed again.
This time, the spiritual power in the body did not follow the rotation of the wooden top.
Watching the wooden top spinning on the ground gradually slow down, then it spins out of balance and falls to the ground.
Shu Guan suddenly remembered that he didn't mean to stop the wooden top just now.
So he stared at the wooden spinning top on the ground and began to think hard:
...get moving...
...get moving...
Shu Guan even imitated the movements in some movies and TV shows he had seen in his previous life. He raised his arms, stretched out his index and middle fingers on both hands, and pressed them against his temples. He kept calling in his heart for the wooden top to move, as if this would strengthen his strength. The power of thought is average.
But the wooden top was still lying on the ground motionless.
Shuguan was disappointed for the third time.
Then he bent down and picked up the wooden top again.
Spiritual power is useless, and thoughts are useless, but this wooden top did show magical power just now. So what are the conditions that trigger this power?
Shu Guan recalled the situation just now.
Does it mean that he must be in such a near-death state...or is there a big problem with the spiritual power in his body for this top to work?
Shu Guan imagined two possibilities, but couldn't be sure.
Of course, he would not torture himself to the point of death just to prove these conjectures.
After all, if you guess wrong, you may really die.
Shu Guan stared at the top in his hand in silence for a while.
An inexplicable idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
That is, this is a birthday gift I received when I was nine years old, and I practice the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung... They are all nine.
In addition, the top is played by spinning, and there is also the word "turn" in the Nine-turn Pure Yang Kung Fu.
Is this a coincidence?
Or should I say grandpa, he has long...
Shu Guan thought about it and felt that maybe his idea was too random. If it was true and it was not a coincidence, it would be incredible.
Then he gathered up all the toys scattered on the ground. Unfortunately, the big bamboo box he made before leaving Taoyuan Village was crushed by himself. Shu Guan felt a little regretful.
The bed also collapsed, so Shu Guan could only temporarily put all the toys in the corner.
Now there are three things that have shown miraculous effects, but I don't know what kind of miraculous power the other toys have.
It seems that this decryption game will take a long time to play!
Then Shuguan sat down cross-legged in the corner and began to observe the current condition of his body.
...The pure white spiritual power like a river flows slowly through the meridians that are many times wider than before...
This is what Shu Guan sees inside his own body after looking inside.
After seeing this scene, Shu Guan's heart was inevitably aroused.
As for the reasons why he was so surprised, there were three reasons.
The first reason is the richness of spiritual power in his body now.
For a practitioner who has perfected the Zhou Tian Gong in the Qi-entraining stage, Shu Guan can roughly know the depth of spiritual power in his body.
Although among them, practicing different exercises will cause differences between different practitioners. For example, the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung practiced by Shu Guan is a heaven-level technique. Every time he performs one more Zhoutian, his spiritual power increases. The level of simplicity is definitely higher than that of practitioners who practice ordinary techniques.
But Shu Guan had already predicted how much spiritual power he would have in his body after he completed Zhou Tian Gong.
After all, he had already reached the thirty-sixth minor Zhoutian and the sixteenth major Zhoutian, and there were only two major Zhoutians left before the completion of the Zhoutian.
How much spiritual power can be increased by two great celestial beings? Shu Guan is naturally very clear.
But the spiritual power in his body now is at least ten times more powerful than originally estimated!
This level of spiritual power is probably incomparable to many practitioners who are on the fourth or fifth level of the First Awareness Realm.
Shu Guan was silent for a moment.
Thinking that after breaking through the eighteen great heavens just now, his spiritual power was still circulating uncontrollably.
So in the end, my spiritual power lasted for how many days before it stopped.
He vaguely remembered that before Lake Shenzhimo, it seemed that the cycle had reached twenty-five or six great celestial days.
As for how many were running in the end, Shu Guan didn't notice.
But according to the current level of spiritual power in his body, Shu Guan didn't dare to guess that number.
This is what surprised Shu Guan after the first inner look.
The second reason is that all the spiritual energy in his body has turned into pure white, while it was originally bluish red.
"Its color is slightly red, like the rising sun."
This is the description of the color of the spiritual power after reaching the first turn in the Nine-turn Pure Yang Technique when viewed internally.
However, Shu Guan has now turned around, but the color of the spiritual power has turned into pure white.
Shu Guan thought about the Qi Jing that just spurted out from his Dantian. It seemed that those Qi Jing were not simply refined, but were completely integrated into the original Nine Transformations Pure Yang Qi.
I just don't know how the power of the nine-turn pure Yang Qi after such mutation compares with the original.
As for the third reason that surprised Shu Guan, it was the state of the meridians in his body at this time.
The meridians in his body have also undergone great changes. Not long ago, many of the meridians in his body were burst, and more were on the verge of breaking, but now they have all been completely restored.
Shu Guan was not sure whether it was because he had bathed in dragon blood, which made his body's recovery ability so strong, or whether it was because of the spinning top just now.
But Shu Guan always felt that the power of dragon blood should not be able to penetrate deep into the meridians in his body.
The restored meridians are much thicker than before. If the original meridians were as wide as a stream, then the current meridians are like rivers.
Moreover, Shu Guan could also feel that his meridians had become stronger than before.
Perhaps this is the meridians that are broken and then rebuilt, and the meridians that are restored after being damaged become stronger than before.
This is also very reasonable. Now that the spiritual power in his body is so much stronger, if the meridians are still the original width and toughness, they may not be able to accommodate it.
After observing the condition inside his body, Shu Guan finally opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, two bright lights suddenly lit up in the dim room, illuminating the room for half a minute. The divine light in his eyes slowly dissipated.
In any case, even though he almost died just now, he has now completely perfected Zhou Tian Gong.
And the degree of perfection seems to be much more exaggerated than that of normal practitioners.
After practicing for nearly two years, I have finally reached the peak of the Qi Entraining Stage. Next, I will prepare to advance to the First Consciousness Realm.
…
The next morning, Shu Guan went to see his master Li Zhixia.
After hearing that her seventh disciple had perfected Zhou Tian Gong, Li Zhixia raised her eyebrows, but there was no surprise.
...Nearly two years, this time is not very outstanding among today's practitioners...
However, if his true strength is taken into account, then his seventh son cannot be regarded as a normal practitioner, and he cannot even be described as a so-called genius.
Li Zhixia was not even sure who was stronger compared to herself or her disciples.
He just didn't know when Lu Zu would come to take away his chosen successor, and he couldn't teach Lao Qi anything.
But at that time, can Lao Qi still be considered his disciple?
Suddenly, the cold-faced purple-robed Taoist felt a little sad and sad.
Of course, if that day really comes, he will only be happy for Lao Qi.
However, there was still a smile on Li Zhixia's face.
"Lao Qi, don't be anxious about the first acquaintance realm."
"Before breaking through the realm, it is best to stay in the previous realm for a while, completely stabilize the realm, lay a solid foundation, and then seek opportunities to break through."
"Let's do this. You'll stay in the Qi-entraining stage for another two months, and then enter the realm of first consciousness!"
Shu Guan actually felt that his foundation should be very stable and thick. After all, his Zhou Tian Gong did not know how many times it took to complete it. Now he has the strong spiritual power in his body, the thick and tough Meridians, who else can lay a stronger foundation than him!
However, it was difficult to explain these things to Li Zhixia, and since it was only two months anyway, Shu Guan was not too eager to enter the realm of first awareness.
So he nodded after hearing this.
"But as a teacher, I can still tell you what the realm of first awareness is."
Then Li Zhixia continued to say with a smile:
"The so-called first awareness refers to the heaven and earth. It's just that as soon as a person is born and can open his eyes to see, he can already see the heaven and earth. Why do we still say it is the first awareness? Because the word 'first' refers to the practitioner See the world with your eyes.”
"What we do during the qi-entraining period is to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, temper ourselves, and make us extraordinary."
"But just a change in the physical body is not truly extraordinary. Only when the way you look at the world changes can you truly transcend the world."
“So the process of practicing the first realm of consciousness is the process of continuously seeing the nature of heaven and earth clearly, and it is also the beginning of true enlightenment.”
"This is also the reason why many high-level Taoist techniques can only be practiced at the level of first awareness."
"Because you don't know the heaven and the earth, how can you truly control the aura of the heaven and the earth for your own use!"
"Then Master, what is the nature of heaven and earth?"
"Haha, the world that everyone can see is different. Master can't answer this question for you. Even an immortal like Lu Zu wouldn't dare to say that he has clearly seen the nature of the world."
"So when we see heaven and earth, we actually see ourselves. What we are looking for is the heaven and earth in our own hearts, and what we are looking for is ourselves in heaven and earth."
“When one day you feel that your Taoist heart and the world outside you are integrated into each other, becoming one and indistinguishable from each other, then you have found the world that belongs to you, formed the womb of Tao, and become a truly otherworldly creature in the world. , the next step is the fetal movement state.”
Shu Guan seemed to understand, but at the same time he thought of a question.
That is, you have completed the cultivation of Qi Entrainment and Expectation, but you still don’t know what your Taoist heart is.
The Qi-inducing period is fine. It is nothing more than introducing Qi into the body and tempering the body. Just practice like this. It doesn't seem to have much to do with Taoist mind.
Isn’t it true that I have reached the pinnacle of my cultivation even though I am in a state of extreme poverty?
But now I listen to what the master said, the practice of the first realm of consciousness has a lot to do with the Taoist mind.
What should I do?
If you don’t even know what your Taoist heart is, how can you find your own world through the Taoist heart?
I won't stay in the realm of first acquaintance for the rest of my life.
Shu Guan's expression became a little strange.
...Forget it, let's practice it first...
...Grandpa seems to be an unintentional person, but he has lived a good life for seventy or eighty years...
