My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 721 Yellow Spring Gourd
"The secret scroll of spiritual treasure creation?"

"So do you want external training or internal training?" The thin middle-aged man in indigo clothes asked with a kind look on his face as he led Chen Mu into the depths of the Sutra Repository.

"Dean Mao, could you tell me the difference between the external and internal training methods?" Chen Mu clasped his fists respectfully.

The person in front of him was Mao Shiyuan, the abbot of the Sacred Heart Temple’s Sutra Library.

According to Bai Shou, this person's Taoism was profound, second only to Luoding Luoduyuan.

"The foundation of the Tao is the foundation of the primordial spirit, like a seed or a root."

"If you want to cultivate it and grow it into a spirit, you need to water and fertilize it."

"Pure Yang energy is the water and fertilizer that the foundation of Tao needs."

"The biggest purpose of Qigong practitioners casting spiritual treasures is to cultivate pure Yang energy and nourish the foundation of Taoism." Mao Shiyuan explained slowly.

Chen Mu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

He only knew a few bits and pieces about the path of cultivation after attaining Dao Foundation, which was far less clear than what Supervisor Mao had explained.

"If you are practicing the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method, you will need to forge your roots at this stage."

"The root can brew the Taiyin Qi, which can promote the transformation of the Heavenly Demon's true body into the Heavenly Demon's true form, and then completely transform into a Heavenly Demon, comparable to a Yuanshen Qi Refiner."

"We in Luodu Academy have cultivators who have been making instruments for many years. Who knows, one day, we might be able to achieve true form and immortality." Mao Shiyuan laughed cheerfully with a hint of sarcasm.

Chen Mu listened respectfully but did not respond.

The Dean Mao in front of him could talk about Luo Duyuan casually, and it was obvious that his Taoism was not far from cultivating his primordial spirit.

Chen Mu had only just completed his cultivation of the Dao foundation, and was almost two realms away from that. He did not dare to casually interrupt and make comments.

Mao Shiyuan glanced at the cautious Chen Mu, but didn't care much and continued the introduction.

"The traditional internal training of Lingbao is similar to the basic practice of Taoism. It requires the use of innate Qi as the material and follows the construction method to build and accumulate Lingbao bit by bit."

"If you are not careful during this process, the spiritual treasure body will collapse, and the practitioner will have to start from the beginning."

"This requires a huge amount of innate energy and takes a very long time. There are many examples of people wasting dozens or even hundreds of years without success."

"It is for this reason that the Lingbao external training method came into being."

"Find materials that contain innate energy as the foundation, and use the treasure refining technique to nourish and refine them into magic weapons."

"Although it lacks some spirituality, it can still be collected into the Niwan Jade Seed, and can be refined into pure Yang Qi or Taiyin Qi to strengthen the foundation of Taoism."

“Moreover, as long as there are enough materials, it can be mastered in three to five years. It can be regarded as a shortcut to practice.” Mao Shiyuan said with admiration.

Chen Mu immediately thought of the coincidence in his eyebrows.

After he used the Taiyi Treasure Refining Technique to refine this treasure into the Dragon Ball Spirit, its spirituality greatly increased.

It can store the secret acupoint between the eyebrows and extract the cold white mist to nourish the body of the celestial demon. It is obviously an external magic weapon.

It's just that the direction is not quite right, it is more suitable for the celestial demon heretic.

"That kind of cold white mist is probably the Taiyin Qi that can nourish the true body of the Heavenly Demon." Chen Mu understood in his heart.

His own cloud mirage demon body is extremely special, and its essence is similar to that of a ghost.

It is impossible for an ordinary Yin spirit to become a Yin spirit fetus without more than a hundred years of hard work.

It only took me more than ten years to master it, all thanks to the blessing of chance.

What a baby!
Chen Mu looked inward between his brows, glanced at the strange thing that was swimming slowly like a fish, and felt quite happy.

"I'll have to think about the Taiyi Treasure Refining Technique when I have time in the future."

"I just thought it was an ordinary secret method before, but now it seems that there is still a lot of potential to be tapped!"

While he was talking, Mao Shiyuan had already led Chen Mu to the center of the Sutra Library.

After passing through a barrier that looked like a water curtain, we suddenly entered a vast hall.

Bright light entered from the transparent glazed tiles above, illuminating the hall.

Seven or eight tall bookshelves stand in the center of the hall.

Mao Shiyuan turned around and looked at Chen Mu: "So, do you choose the internal training method or the external training method?"

After Chen Mu came back to his senses, he frowned slightly.

"Since it's a shortcut, doesn't it have a price?"

Mao Shiyuan raised his eyebrows: "You are quite perceptive."

"The path of cultivation is one step at a time. If you save effort in this step, you will naturally have to make up for it later."

"But that is something you will only consider after you have cultivated your primordial spirit or trained yourself into your true form as a celestial demon."

"By then, I will be as old as the sky. Even if I have to spend a lot of time to make up for it, I can actually afford it."

Chen Mu frowned even more tightly when he heard this.

Everyone knows that the most stable way to practice is to follow the orthodox cultivation method. However, the internal cultivation of spiritual treasures is indeed time-consuming.

Many Qigong practitioners have already reached a certain age after they have mastered the Dao foundation. If they spend a lot of time practicing internal training, even if they succeed, they probably won't have time to cultivate the Dao foundation and nourish the Yuanshen. So...

"I want to try the internal training method first." Chen Mu looked up at Mao Shiyuan.

Mao Shiyuan sighed, feeling as if he saw himself back then: "Have you thought about it?"

Chen Mu said with determination: "I've thought it through."

Anyway, I have the Taiyi Treasure Refining Technique in my hand.

If the internal training method doesn't work, there will always be time to try the external training method.

But if you miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to find a secret scroll for internal training somewhere else.

"Although the Sacred Heart Academy controls the island of Yizhou, it is ultimately just a branch of the Huangquan Sect," Mao Shiyuan explained.

"Half of the seventy-two basic diagrams are missing, and of the three great spiritual treasures in the sect, there is only one copy of the 'Yellow Spring Gourd Construction Method'."

"Then choose the Yellow Spring Gourd Method!" Chen Mu made the decision immediately.

……

The next day.

Bai Shou appeared in front of the stilt house where Chen Mu lived early in the morning, with the exquisite and spacious sedan chair floating beside him.

"The person who led me to Shuanghuayuan is you, fellow Taoist?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

After receiving the Lingbao Secret Scroll yesterday, the Sacred Heart Court arranged a place for him to go. He was sent to the lower courtyard of the Shuanghua Courtyard to guard it for three years.

Today is the day to set off, but Chen Mu didn't expect that the person who would come to lead the way would be Bai Shou.

This old fellow is not young anymore and he had been practicing in seclusion before.

The reason why he personally brought me to the Sacred Heart Temple this time was because the reward for recommending me was generous.

I thought the other party would return to Baijiazhai immediately after getting the benefit, but I didn't expect that he would still stay here.

"It seems that fellow Daoist has indeed gained a lot of benefits." Chen Mu looked at Bai Shou, whose face was flushed, and spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Thanks to fellow Taoist, Dean Luodu gave me three Heart Nourishing Pills, which are enough to make a big progress in my cultivation." Bai Shou smiled.

Heart nourishing pill?
What kind of secret medicine is this that makes Bai Shou value it so much?

"I practiced the Sacred Heart Sutra. This method is the foundation of the Sacred Heart Academy. It can build a person's roots with the heart as the core."

“Most importantly, it improves both the inside and the outside!”

"Practicing both internal and external skills together?" Chen Mu was surprised when he heard this.

"It's just what you thought." Bai Shou looked proud.

"The Sacred Heart Sutra can be practiced on its own, or it can be absorbed by the Heart Nourishing Pill, greatly accelerating the construction of the root."

“It’s a pity that fellow Taoist is not on the path of reincarnation as a celestial demon, so he has no chance of getting this precious sutra.” Bai Shou became more and more complacent.

Is there such a wonderful method that can cultivate both inside and outside?

That abbot Mao didn't say anything yesterday!
The heretics of the Heavenly Demons have this secret method of creating weapons that cultivates both the inside and the outside. Do the Qi Refiners also have it?
Hasty!

"You don't have to regret it, fellow Daoist." Bai Shou consoled him, "The Sacred Heart Sutra is extremely rare. It was personally passed down by Luofu Daoist Ancestor."

"It is with this sutra that the Sacred Heart Institute can control the entire Yizhou."

"I don't know if there is a method of refining a spiritual treasure that can cultivate both the inner and outer realms. Anyway, I have never heard of it in Yizhou."

That is not bad.

Chen Mu felt balanced.

But when he saw the smug old man Bai Shou, Chen Mu felt unhappy again.

I signed a life-saving contract, but in the end the one who got the biggest benefit was this old man?

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly." Bai Shou laughed.

"You want the green needle tea roots, right? Here they are!" He waved his hand happily and said, "When I return to Baijiazhai, I will immediately ask Xiaoqing from the fifth room to send you two pieces."

The Bizhen tea roots that were previously being so stingy and said they wouldn't give you anything are now being delivered directly to your door?

"Why do I feel like I've lost more?" Chen Mu said with a squint.

"What's the loss? Didn't you also get the Yellow Spring Gourd Construction Method?"

"This is one of the three great spiritual treasures of the Huangquan Sect. It has a bright future." Bai Shou also spoke with a hint of envy.

"Is this spiritual treasure very powerful?" Chen Mu asked curiously.

"After all, it is a genuine Qi training school, how can it not be powerful?"

"Let's go, it's more than ten days' journey from Zangleijian to Shuanghua Valley. I'll chat with you on the way." Bai Shou said happily.
