The practice of the golden elixir stage is called the "nine turns of the golden elixir", which is the nine-level realm.
When a monk forms a golden elixir, it is the first stage of the golden elixir, which is the first level of the golden elixir.
The practice of this level is the first step for the soul to settle in the golden elixir and realize the "union of spirit and energy".
The difficulty of the cultivation process for the soul to settle in the golden elixir varies from person to person. This is related to the grade of the golden elixir, the degree of compatibility between the soul and spiritual power, and the spiritual root talent of the monk.
Spiritual roots will not only affect your practice during the stage of Qi training and foundation building, but they will also affect your practice during the Golden elixir stage.
Because the spiritual root talent represents the direction of the soul's adaptation to spiritual power, the more the spiritual root is in line with the practice, the easier it will be for the soul to settle in the golden elixir.
Xu Ke's cultivation techniques were all deduced by himself, and they naturally fit him perfectly. There is no problem at all in the degree of fit between his spiritual root talent and his techniques.
As for the grade of the golden elixir... is there any higher grade golden elixir in the world of cultivation than Xu Ke?
With such a deep foundation, it is not difficult for Xu Ke's soul to settle in the golden elixir.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground and calming down, Xu Ke followed the induction of the soul and the golden elixir, and his consciousness continued to sink to the Dantian.
This is "meaning to guard the Dantian"!
In the process of Qi training, each practice requires "mindfulness to guard the Dantian". In fact, it is also preparing for the soul to settle in the golden elixir.
The process of the soul's consciousness constantly sinking into the Dantian is called "a blue dragon riding fire in the lotus pond" in the Taoist alchemy terminology.
The "green dragon driving the fire" here refers to the "heart fire", which is the consciousness of the soul. "Lotus Pond" refers to Dantian.
The "heart fire" of the soul consciousness sinks into the Dantian and circles around the golden elixir. This is the "Wandering Lotus Pond".
Incited by the "Green Dragon Riding the Fire" swirling around the golden elixir "Wandering in the Lotus Pond", the golden elixir produced a wave that echoed it.
This is "the white tiger travels with the wind and leaves the cave".
The fluctuations of the golden elixir and the fluctuations of the divine soul gradually synchronized, and then the consciousness of the divine soul was attracted by the golden elixir and plunged into the golden elixir.
This is "the elixir becomes the dragon and the tiger, and the yin and yang are combined."
If we want to use a more popular description, the process of the soul consciousness settling in the golden elixir is somewhat similar to the process of combining sperm cells and egg cells.
In terms of results, it is very similar to the combination of sperm and egg.
After the soul consciousness settled in the golden elixir, in the core of the golden elixir, the soul and spiritual power merged to form the original "embryo".
People in the Taoist sect have always compared golden elixir cultivation to pregnancy. In the terminology of alchemy, when this soul settles in the golden elixir, it forms a "primary embryo".
When this "primordial fetus" continues to grow and eventually turns into a baby, it is the Nascent Soul.
In order for the Yuan Fei to grow, in addition to providing "nutrition", that is, spiritual energy, so that the Yuan Fei can grow a "body", it is also necessary to provide spirituality so that the Yuan Fei can grow a "soul".
Therefore, in addition to practicing Qi, Jindan practice also needs to cultivate the true spirit.
In the terminology of Taoist alchemy, this process of cultivating the true spirit is also called "gathering medicine".
Stack up the lotus platform to nourish the Yuanying, and then transform it into Yuanying. This is the entire process of cultivation during the Golden elixir period.
The subsequent practice of the Nascent Soul stage is to cultivate the Nascent Soul until the Nascent Soul is mature, slowly emerges from the gate of heaven, and manifests in the heaven and earth. This is the Yin Shen in the early stage of spiritual transformation.
"call……"
After taking a long breath, Xu Ke collected his power and stood up.
In one practice, the spiritual soul settled in the golden elixir, the elixir became a dragon and a tiger, and the yin and yang merged to form the Yuan Fei.
After completing the golden elixir transformation practice, he officially entered the second level of the golden elixir.
If someone else were to practice it, it would take at least a few decades, and if it were slower, it might take hundreds of years.
This is the convenience brought by Xu Ke's deep foundation.
Of course, the foundation can be deeper.
With a thought, Xu Ke activated the "Hundred-fold Harvest", and the soul settled in the golden elixir and formed the Yuan Fei. During the practice process, all the experiences, insights, thoughts and understandings were multiplied a hundred times.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is... the quality of the Yuan Fei instantly increases a hundred times.
It can only be harvested a hundred times, not three times in a row. This is because to achieve a hundredfold gain, you must first have an "action", and then you can increase the effect of this "action" a hundredfold.
Xu Ke can only form an elixir once. The soul can settle in the golden elixir and form a Yuan embryo, but it can only happen once.
One "behavior" can only produce one "hundredfold gain". (Because some readers don’t understand the setting, I’m just going to say it here)
The soul settled in the golden elixir, and the elixir became a dragon and tiger. After forming the Yuan Fei, Xu Ke was promoted to the second level of the golden elixir.
At this state, the soul consciousness is integrated into the golden elixir, the brain is no longer the main body of consciousness, and the golden elixir is the origin.
As long as the golden elixir is immortal, the golden elixir cultivator cannot be considered completely dead.
Of course, during the Golden Elixir stage, the body is still very important. If someone destroys your body or even chops off your head, you can only reincarnate.
Although the body can be reborn, the body and soul do not match. When the time comes to promote the soul, problems will occur when the body integrates with the soul. At that time, he still has to be reincarnated once before he can truly achieve the soul.
Once the golden elixir is turned, the meritorious deeds are completed. Xu Ke's next step in practice is to prepare for "cultivating the true spirit".
After getting up and walking out of the cave in the mountain, Xu Ke came to Kunwu Courtyard.
Xu Ke called Chengming and Jing Yue over.
"I need to go out to experience the world of mortals and cultivate my true spirit."
Xu Ke told the two of them, "You can practice at home with peace of mind. If you need anything, contact me through the remote communication talisman array."
Jing Yue was still in the stage of Qi training and had no idea about cultivating the true spirit, but Cheng Mingzi was different. He knew very well what cultivating the true spirit meant.
"Nurture the true spirit? Master has formed an elixir?"
Cheng Mingzi's eyes widened and he looked up at Xu Ke, his face full of surprise.
How long has it been? Master has formed an elixir?
Moreover, there was no movement when the elixir was formed, and there was no change in the breath after the elixir was formed, which was a bit scary.
The method of Dayan Tianji, the way of cause and effect and destiny, is truly mysterious and unpredictable.
"Well, it's formed."
Xu Ke smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations, Master, for achieving the Golden Elixir."
Jing Yue and Cheng Mingzi quickly bowed to Xu Ke to congratulate him.
"It's just a pill. What's there to congratulate?"
Xu Ke smiled and waved his hand, "I will start traveling in a few days. In the study room of Kunwu Academy, I left some classics that I compiled, mainly some applied knowledge on Xuanmen magic. You can Read it yourself.”
"yes!"
The two men bowed and accepted the order.
Immediately, Jing Yue raised his eyes to look at Xu Ke and said, "Master is traveling around the world, and disciples should follow him. Let me travel with Master."
"Yeah."
Cheng Mingzi also said quickly: "Master is traveling around the world, and disciples should accompany him and serve him. Please allow master to allow disciples to accompany him."
As soon as these words came out, Jing Yue next to him gave Cheng Mingzi a fierce look. I'm traveling around the mortal world with Master, why are you joining in the fun?
Cheng Mingzi was stared at in confusion.
"There's no need to go along."
Xu Ke waved his hand. This is the world of mortals training one's mind and cultivating one's true spirit. It's not really going on a trip. How can one take a girl... ahem, take a disciple with him?
Glancing at Chengming and Jing Yue, Xu Ke smiled and said, "Jing Yue, please stay at home and practice peacefully. As for Cheng Ming, it's time for you to cultivate your true spirit. You can just travel by yourself, no need to follow. I."
Cheng Mingzi has already reached the second level of Jindan. She has already formed a Yuan Fei through the "crossing of dragon and tiger". It's time to cultivate the true spirit.
Sword cultivation cultivates the true spirit, which is also called "tempering the heart of the sword".
In the beginning, the reason why Cheng Mingzi became possessed was that when she was traveling around the mortal world and tempering her sword heart, she accidentally fell into a trap and fell in love with someone wrong.
There is no fixed formula for the sword's heart. It varies from person to person.
Therefore, Cheng Mingzi's dog-licking mentality of "how deep the love is, how fast the sword is", even Master Youquan only found it a bit strange and did not think about it in the direction of becoming a demon.
Fortunately, Xu Ke reversed his obsession and pulled Cheng Mingzi back. Otherwise, Cheng Mingzi would still be the licking dog of the female devil!
After being transformed into a demon, Cheng Mingzi's "dog-licking heart" naturally no longer exists, and her true spirit still needs to be nurtured.
"Master's Dharma vision is perfect."
Cheng Mingzi bowed his hand to Xu Ke and said, "This disciple really needs to travel around the world to temper his sword heart."
In the past few years, Cheng Mingzi has studied Taoism with Xu Ke, and has completely washed away the influence of the devil on his mind. He has become an "iron science man" and will definitely not have any desire to lick dogs.
The original "how deep the love is, how fast the sword is" may become "there is no woman in the heart, and the god of nature draws the sword".
This is of course an excellent manifestation of "firm Taoist heart".
"You need to temper your sword heart, which is of course a good thing."
Xu Ke nodded, "There is also a method of tempering the sword's heart in the Canglang Sword Art, but in my opinion, this method of tempering the sword's heart is biased and not comprehensive enough. Cheng Ming should have a deep understanding of it."
"Well……"
Cheng Mingzi touched his head in embarrassment. This "deep understanding" is naturally a matter of "licking a dog's heart".
"I have another way to temper the sword's heart."
Xu Ke reached out and took out a blank jade slip, and combined the incense method of refining the true spirit from the Yunzhong Dao Sutra with the sword heart method of the Canglang Sword Jue to form a "Sword Immortal Manifestation Method".
According to this method, Cheng Mingzi traveled around the world to refine the sword's heart, and he needed to... be a chivalrous and righteous man, slay demons and eliminate demons, show himself as a saint in front of others, and become famous in the world.
The louder the name, the greater the reputation, the better the effect of tempering the sword's heart and cultivating the true spirit.
"The Sword Immortal's Method of Revealing Saints" was recorded on the jade slip. Xu Ke reached out and handed it to Cheng Mingzi, "Can you see if this method suits your needs?"
"Thank you, Master."
Cheng Mingzi took the jade slip, looked at it with his spiritual consciousness, and saw the volume "The Sword Immortal's Method of Revealing the Saint".
Act chivalrously and righteously, slay demons and monsters, show yourself as a saint in front of others, and become famous all over the world.
This...this is so satisfying.
Sword cultivation, the dream of the Sword Immortal, is a lifelong pursuit.
Of course I want to travel to the ends of the earth with my sword, roam the world, be a chivalrous and righteous person, and slay demons.
As for "showing your holiness in front of others and making your name famous all over the world", haha, who wouldn't want to?
"Thank you Master for the gift."
Cheng Mingzi couldn't help being happy and quickly bowed to thank him.
How refreshing would it have been if I had had this method of tempering the sword's heart and been able to fight for justice and slay demons all the way? Where can I go to fall in love with someone? Where else could there be the danger of being possessed by a demon?
"My disciple's mind has moved. This is the opportunity to refine his heart. He needs to set off to travel around the world and temper his sword heart. I ask Master for your permission."
This "Sword Immortal's Method of Manifesting Saints" touched Cheng Mingzi's mind. She was already eager to try and found it difficult to restrain. It was a good time to temper her mind.
"Go!"
Xu Ke nodded with a smile and agreed on the spot.
Today, there are no foreign enemies or civil war in the vast plains. With Cheng Mingzi's cultivation level, there will be no danger. Naturally, there will be no problem in refining one's heart in the world of mortals.
Not only Cheng Mingzi, but also Xu Ke.
With Xu Ke's current cultivation strength, coupled with the Lingbao "Hunyuan Yiqi Taichu Talisman", there is absolutely no danger in traveling around the mortal world in the vast wilderness and tempering his Taoist heart.
To put it bluntly, even if the real head coach personally attacks Xu Ke, he may not be able to defeat Xu Ke.
"Farewell Master, disciple is leaving!"
Cheng Mingzi laughed loudly, jumped up, and raised his sword into the air, straight into the sky.
Now it's better. Originally, Xu Ke asked Hongchen to refine his heart, but before he could leave, Cheng Mingzi took the first step.
"Master, Senior Brother Chengming has left, and you have to leave too."
Jing Yue looked at Xu Ke eagerly, "You are all gone. I am the only one left at home. I feel so lonely. How about you take me with you."
"The monkey and the lark are still here!"
Xu Ke smiled and said, "You can play with them! By the way, you can also take care of the spiritual field on the island in the middle of the lake."
With that said, Xu Ke stood up and walked out of the study, walking towards the weapon refining room next to him.
To use the "gods and demons" method of tempering the true spirit, two magic weapons must be refined to absorb the desires and wishes of all living beings.
Jing Yue looked at Xu Ke's leaving figure, pouted and stamped his feet.
Who wants to play with monkeys and skylarks! They obviously want to be with you...
When her thoughts turned to this point, Jing Yue's face turned red, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.
——
After making a list of materials and asking the Weapon Refining Hall to send them over, Xu Ke began to refine two magic weapons for refining the true spirit.
As a magic weapon, Xu Ke refined a lotus-shaped magic weapon based on the "Seven Emotions and Six Desires Heart Lotus Method" in "The Great Method of Transforming the Demon into Freedom".
After this magic weapon is completed, it will look like a holy... a white, flawless, pure and crystal lotus flower.
The stems are green and green, and the flowers are white and flawless, exuding a sense of holiness and nobility.
This treasure is called "Pure Lotus".
However, the name is pure, but it is not pure at all. The purer it looks on the outside, the more pulpy it is on the inside.
It is worthy of being a great magic method, and it has profound samadhi.
The second Shinto magic weapon, Xu Ke trained into an umbrella.
Isn’t there something called the “Umbrella of All Peoples”? To carry the incense and wishes of all people, it is natural to use the All People Umbrella.
This umbrella is unremarkable, it looks like an ordinary tung oil paper umbrella.
Of course, this just "looks".
This is a magic weapon that Xu Ke refined based on the Shinto magic weapon "Tianluo Umbrella" from "Yunzhong Dao Sutra" to absorb the incense and wish power of all living beings.
In addition to the basic function of absorbing the power of incense and wishes, it also has powerful magic power.
After tempering the true spirit, as long as Xu Ke is willing, he can refine the incense and wish power and become a real "divine weapon" that can be used to protect the mind with excellent results.
Any spell that attacks the mind needs to undergo the training of "the incense and wish power of all living beings". Unless it is strong enough to annihilate the incense and wish power in one fell swoop, it will not be able to attack the mind at all.
With the help of the Tianluo Umbrella, Jindan Zhenren can resist the artistic conception attack of Zhenjun Yuanying.
Correspondingly, the magic weapon "Pure Lotus" also has the same effect.
