After sleeping for two hours, Xu Qian began to enter a state of cultivation.
The magic book is a strange technique that belongs to cultivating immortals but is independent of cultivating immortals.
The grimoire contains the author's own records. The author calls himself the founder of magic cultivation. He started cultivating immortals when he was young, but no one wanted to accept him as a disciple because his qualifications were too poor. Later, he met an expert by chance. The expert said that the meridians in his body were innately broken and he could not purify heaven and earth. Spiritual energy, even if you can barely condense the sea of spirit, you will ultimately be unable to gather pure spiritual energy and practice will be fruitless.
Cultivation of immortality is essentially about cultivating Qi, or in other words, cultivating the sea of Qi. Human beings are mortal, and heaven is revered. If a person wants to embark on the path of immortality and achieve immortality, he needs to find a way to use the most precious spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use. This method is the Immortal Cultivation Technique. Different schools have similar differences, and there is no difference in essence. However, superior magic techniques can be significantly optimized in terms of quantity or speed. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the body, it cannot be directly used and absorbed. After all, heaven and man are different, and must be transformed into spiritual energy suitable for the human body. This transformation process is called pure spiritual energy, and it is also a part of the magic method of cultivating immortals. This part is used in various ways. The differences among schools are larger, mainly in the efficiency of purification. Some magic arts require the spiritual energy to circulate in the meridians for hundreds of weeks to complete the purification, but the superior magic arts can achieve the same effect by running for dozens of weeks. Effect.
The next step is to integrate the purified spiritual energy into the sea of qi, making the sea of qi become stronger and stronger, turning into an endless river, or even a vast ocean. This is also the source of power for immortal cultivation. However, the Qi Sea does not mean that all the same pure spiritual energy can be integrated into it. The magic arts of various cultivating schools will also compete in this regard. The superior magic arts can naturally retain more pure spiritual energy in the Qi Sea. Sea. This part is the biggest difference between each school's method, and it is also the most critical part to distinguish the high and low methods.
Of course, in addition to magic skills, cultivation is also related to the immortal cultivator's own qualifications and efforts. The demon cultivator is mainly stuck in the second step, refining spiritual energy. Due to his own shortcomings, he was unable to purify his spiritual energy. After barely condensing the sea of qi, he was unable to expand and become stronger. Until he was nearly forty years old, he was still at the initial stage of cultivating immortals, and he was far from even getting started.
The founder of Demonic Cultivator not only has a great longing for cultivating immortals, but he is also a person with great perseverance. After countless failures, he did not give up cultivation. Resigning to his destiny to be a mortal forever, he decided to take another path. Since I cannot purify spiritual energy, can I let others perform this process and then obtain spiritual energy from others?
After visiting famous teachers, reading a lot of books, and going through many arguments, denials and deductions, he finally found a way to absorb spiritual energy from other people's sea of energy. But he is still some distance away from success because he has no opportunity to practice and verify.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but the people who cultivated immortality with him when he was young have become successful. After meeting him again, maybe out of sympathy or out of showing off, he entered a sect and became the lowest level member. A handyman, responsible for cleaning the sect's prison, such as emptying dung buckets for prisoners.
In that era, sects were the managers of the human world. It was considered good for a useless person like him to join the sect and eat public food. At that time, those who could be imprisoned in sect prisons were either casual cultivators or immortal cultivators from hostile sects. Once, an immortal cultivator who was beaten to death was imprisoned in the prison, which gave the future demon cultivator a chance to experiment for the first time. However, he failed that time, but he was very happy, because at the same time he failed. It confirmed that his idea was correct, and only minor adjustments were needed to succeed.
What really made him rise was the catastrophe of that sect. That time, hostile sects united with several major forces to attack together. His sect was unprepared and blood flowed in rivers. Facing many immortal cultivators who had just died, he absorbed the pure spiritual energy of hundreds of people and established a world from then on. The foundation for soaring to the sky.
This strange cultivation method became known to the world a few years later, when the founder of the Demon Cultivator had already become famous all over the world. Of course, there was no title of Demon Cultivator at that time, and the world just regarded him as a sudden A rising master of immortal cultivation, until someone discovered that this person actually relied on absorbing other people's Qi and sea spiritual energy to practice cultivation, the entire immortal cultivation world was shocked. It didn't take long for the term "Moxiu" to appear, and at the same time, some people followed him. He was not dissatisfied with being called a demon cultivator. Instead, he liked the title very much and even called himself the founder of the demon cultivator.
The grimoire Xu Qian obtained was written when the founder of the Demonic Cultivator was high-spirited, had many followers, and had perfected his skills. As for what happened next, Xu Qian didn't know.
It is mentioned in the magic book that although the founder of magic cultivating has not yet found the magic cultivation method, although he cannot purify the spiritual energy, he can also absorb the original spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he cannot purify it and integrate it into the sea of qi. He does not want to waste it. If the spiritual energy obtained through hard work cannot be integrated into the sea of qi, it will eventually dissipate into the heaven and earth, so he uses the original spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his physical body.
Body refining has always existed in the world of immortal cultivators, but it was regarded as the lowest level. Immortal cultivators cultivate Qi. Body refining is what mortal martial artists do. Only mortals who are incapable of becoming immortal cultivators do it. body. At that time, the demon cultivators used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to conceive and nourish their physical bodies as a last resort.
But over time, his physical strength reached a level that was startling.
Xu Qian's cultivation at this time was just following the old path of a demonic cultivator and a Taoist. Because he has no other way, and without the magic method of cultivating immortals, he cannot follow the mainstream path of cultivating immortals. He has to absorb other people's spiritual energy like a demon cultivator. He can do this, but in today's world, where can he find an immortal cultivator? Even if there was, he would not do such a thing for no reason, and demon cultivators cannot absorb the spiritual energy of others when they meet them. They need strict conditions, otherwise only he will die. Xu Qian would not rashly try to do such a thing until he figured out what level his current strength was.
So now Xu Qian is refining his body.
A big difference between immortal cultivators and demonic cultivators is that demonic cultivators attach great importance to body training, because demonic cultivators have been practicing body training for many years since their creation. There was no threshold for body refining, at least it could be done by the down-and-out demon cultivators at that time.
"Why is my progress so slow? It's impossible. My qualifications are worse than those of a demon cultivator?" Xu Qian has been practicing for several months. According to the description in the magic book, his progress in body training can be said to be slow. Very unreasonable.
When the founder of the Demonic Cultivator wrote the Grimoire, he already had many disciples. These disciples had various qualifications, which gave him a more objective source of data when writing the Grimoire. He did not have to use himself as an example. . Xu Qian compared the records in the magic book and found that his aptitude should be better than that of all demon cultivator disciples. As for why his aptitude was so unbelievable, it was as unexplainable as he found that his brain was highly developed. I plan to worry about this, at least for now, there is no need.
But with such excellent qualifications, why is his physical training so much slower than other demon cultivator disciples? This was what he urgently needed to understand.
Could it be due to the aura of heaven and earth? Xu Qian had some guesses. There are two points of direct evidence: First, when he induced the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sea of qi in his body was operating normally, and all the body's reactions and sensations were as described in the magic book, even much better. However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth introduced in the end was pitiful. , at first he thought that all novices were like this, but later he realized that it was far from the description in the grimoire. Second, after he swallowed the Qi Yuan Pill he got from Tang Lei, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body. He knew that this was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the Qi Yuan Pill. It was also the fastest progress he had made in his physical training. , a Qi Yuan Dan, which is more than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth he has absorbed in several months. According to the records in the grimoire, the Qiyuan Pill is just a very basic elixir, and the effect is not that good. This can only be explained by the fact that the original cultivation effect is too poor.
Also, Tang Lei said that some people in his sect felt that the cultivation environment had been ruined. According to this statement, it was consistent with his guess.
It's really a headache. I wish someone knowledgeable could give me more answers. Xu Qian was very troubled. He practiced alone. Some things were really difficult to master without a teacher!
