I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 8: Difficulty in Cultivation [Please recommend and collect]

No one can suffer more than the Immortal Master.

In Yuliangzhuang, a country farm where chickens and dogs are familiar with each other, the place provided for their immortal master to live can hardly be described simply by the word "luxurious".

To use the words from his previous life, the "style of painting" is different.

The pavilions, terraces, towers and waterside pavilions are all decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and are magnificent.

There are garden nurseries, rockery and lotus pond, strong bamboo and bamboo groves.

It covers an extremely vast area, and everything looks grand and magnificent. In the eyes of the villagers, the jade buildings in the sky and the fairy palaces in the sea are no more than this.

There is also a special spirit gathering formation covering the courtyard, and the spiritual energy is quite abundant compared to the outside world.

but.

For people like Zhong Lixiao who came from Taoyuan Valley, the paradise of immortals, it really was like coming from a big city to the humble abode of a local rich man in the countryside.

Even Lian Zi, who was a bit thick-skinned, couldn't help but frown as he watched.

Not long after taking a break, Lianzi personally organized the old women and a group of maids and servants to clean up the place. They were busy inside and outside and had no time to rest for a moment.

Zhong Sheng was also busy collecting fodder and feeding the horses, serving them very attentively.

This is what it means to feed a good horse. It is very delicate and eats even better than many people.

On the contrary, Zhong Lixiao is the most free!
study.

Zhong Lixiao looked at the failed portrait of Old Zhou in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

"Failed. Didn't this painting depict the spirit of Old Zhou?"

You can know a person’s face but not his heart; you can only draw the skin of a tiger but not its bones.

He thought he had seen through Old Zhou completely. It turns out that human hearts are hard to predict!
For this portrait of Old Zhoutou, Zhong Lixiao drew on the painting "Father" by Master Luo Zhongli in his previous life, focusing on depicting the old farmer's poverty, bitterness, dryness, skinnyness, and simplicity.

In order to show the characteristics of Lao Zhoutou as an agricultural expert, he also added a bit of intelligence to the Lao Zhoutou in his writing.

Compared to the painting "Father" in his previous life, Old Zhoutou has more intelligence and kindness of an agricultural expert.

But that was not the case at all!
"That's all."

The self-portrait of Old Zhou in Zhong Lixiao's hand floated into the brazier, and a flame ignited. The portrait soon turned into ashes in the flames.

He doesn't even need to look at the time deliberately, Zhong Lixiao can use his own biological clock to determine what project he should practice at this time.

This is also an instinct developed from his self-discipline that has remained consistent for more than ten years.

Fortunately, this courtyard was originally prepared for the immortal master, and it has very complete facilities and is equipped with a special secret room for practice.

After arriving at the training room, he pinched a seal with his left hand and lifted up his right palm. A ray of ochre-colored spiritual power emerged from his palm. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth surged and quickly gathered around the ray of ochre-colored spiritual power in his right palm. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it formed an earth cone about an inch long.

call out!
He flipped his palm and pushed it forward lightly. The earth cone in his right palm shot forward quickly, like a yellowish-brown ghost shadow, at an incredibly fast speed.

This is the first use of the "Earth Cone Technique", which emphasizes the speed, accuracy, ruthlessness and strength of the Earth Cone Technique.

Concentration is the essence. This compressed earth cone is extremely strong, even stronger than ordinary iron, making it very suitable for use as a hidden weapon for sneak attacks.

call out!call out!call out!
Small earth cones were generated one after another, leaving afterimages in the air, like a string of arrows.

Next, it is the second use of "Earth Cone Technique".

As the earth cone shuttled through the air, it grew taller against the wind and in the blink of an eye became as big as ten feet, looking ferocious and intimidating.

With a loud bang, the earth cone hit the wall of the training room. The wall, which was protected by a magic circle, was covered with ripples of energy and was not damaged.

But you can still feel the amazing power of this huge earth cone!

This use of the Earth Cone Technique is called "Multiplied Earth Cone Technique" by Zhong Lixiao, and the effect is very good.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao made seals with his hands, and a magic circle appeared in the air behind him. A large number of earth cones were quickly generated, and soon the earth cones fell like rain.

This is also a derivative usage of the "Earth Cone Technique", and its name is "Earth Cone Rain".

After some experiments, Zhong Lixiao was delighted and was silently calculating in his mind.

"After breaking through the fourth level of Qi training, the speed of earth cone generation has increased by at least 30%, and its power has also increased greatly. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I also have to adapt to the disparity brought about by the sudden increase in strength after the realm breakthrough as soon as possible."

And this is the survival strategy that Zhong Lixiao has been following since he traveled through time.

He had poor spiritual roots and no golden finger, and his family was not wealthy. He could not afford to buy magic tools, talismans, and elixirs. The outside world was too dangerous, with evil cultivators rampant. So Zhong Lixiao madly learned all kinds of skills.

He has basically maxed out all the spells and techniques.

Zhong Lixiao knew exactly how powerful a spell was, how much spiritual energy it consumed, and how long it would take to cast it.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao reviewed spells such as "Earth Spike Technique", "Light Body Technique", "Quicksand Technique", and "Mud Technique".

I finally had a rough idea of it and updated the parameter data of his various abilities in my mind in a timely manner.

When the magic power in his body was almost consumed, Zhong Lixiao felt even happier.

"It's just a breakthrough of a small bottleneck, but this is a huge improvement. I finally feel more secure. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to have any magic tools, and I've never used talismans. I don't have a clear idea of the improvement in strength that magic tools and talismans can bring. I still need to continue to develop steadily."

Thinking of this, Zhong Lixiao felt a little regretful.

The Zhong family intended to train their own talisman makers, but unfortunately the plan ultimately failed.

It was too expensive in the early stages and it was not something a small family like theirs could afford.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao began to meditate as usual to restore his spiritual energy.

After a moment, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but frown.

"Compared with Taoyuan Valley, the spiritual energy in Yuliang Manor is too thin, isn't it? Even with the blessing of the spirit gathering array, the speed of recovering spirit is still half as slow." Zhong Lixiao's face looked a little ugly.

His cultivation was already difficult, and now it was even more difficult.

If Zhong Lixiao didn't have a good heart, he would probably have been unable to hold back his sweet words at this moment.

[It seems I have to speed up the pace of collecting magical seeds, otherwise the gap between me and my peers in Taoyuan Valley will widen quickly!]
After having a plan in mind, Zhong Lixiao decided to start studying the body-building exercise "Arhat Golden Body".

Since Yuliang Manor is short of spiritual energy, we must try the body-refining method of refining our own blood and energy into spiritual power. Our own blood and energy come from the essence of grains.

In other words, as long as you have enough to eat and eat well, there is hope.

He had studied the book "Arhat Golden Body" over and over again along the way, and now he has memorized it.

In short, it is divided into internal law (fixing law) and external law (punishing law).

The meditation method mainly involves sitting in meditation to open up the chakras and awaken wisdom.

The core method is a secret practice called "Vajra Breath", also known as "Tumo Samadhi", "Wrathful Mother" and "Dantian Fire".

In Taoism, it is called "yuan yang", which means "true yang", "true fire", "fire of the life gate" and "innate fire".

In essence, it is the manifestation of the fire of life, and is fundamentally different from the fire spiritual energy that floats between heaven and earth.

When practicing, sit in Vajra position with legs apart and make Vajra mudra with both hands.

Inhale naturally through the nostrils, following the principle of slow and long breathing. Inhale until you are full, hold your breath, and exhale when you can no longer bear it.

As you inhale, visualize white light coming in.

The white light represents the pure wind of the universe. After inhaling it, holding your breath and not exhaling it, it becomes Vajra Breath.

The Vajra Breath rotates in the Dantian area below the navel. At this time, the Ajna Chakra, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Navel Chakra and Secret Chakra will all rotate along with the wind breath.

When the inhaled wind reaches the navel chakra from above, you should swallow a mouthful of saliva. The purpose is to nourish the five chakras and allow the qi to pass through the central channel.

This method is called "Jade Liquid Elixir" in Taoism.

The longer the breath is held in the body, the better, which represents the deeper the Aquarius Kung Fu.

According to the length of breath holding, it can be divided into upper bottle, middle bottle and lower bottle.

Finally, exhale the black energy and karma to achieve the purpose of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, cleansing the body and purifying the soul.

Taoists call this treasure bottle "wind furnace" or "alchemy furnace", which are essentially methods of internal training.

As for the Taoist eight extraordinary meridians and the Buddhist three meridians and seven chakras, they are just different ways of expression, both of which are explorations of the secrets of the human body.

It’s hard to say who is right or wrong, or maybe both are right.

Because both are "orthodox dharma" that lead directly to the great way, each sect has successful practitioners with great supernatural powers.

Since this was his first time coming into contact with the secret Buddhist techniques, Zhong Lixiao had no idea what state of practice other Buddhists were in, but entering into a state of concentration, meditating, holding the breath, and breathing were all quite simple for him.

The so-called practice is nothing more than preparing the mind while also preparing the body.

Be in it with your mind, body and actions, and then persevere.

What really made Zhong Lixiao feel a bit difficult and had some challenges was the discovery and connection of the three meridians and seven chakras.

Fortunately, he has also cultivated to the fourth level of Qi training, his ears and eyes are sharp, and his memory has also been greatly enhanced. He has studied "The Golden Body of Arhat" all the way and has now mastered it by heart.

After comparing the diagram of the three meridians and seven chakras with the Taoist eight extraordinary meridians, and exploring them bit by bit, another mystery and splendor of the human body gradually emerged before his eyes.

In a short period of time, Zhong Lixiao felt something amazing.

This is truly the case of one knowledge leading to a hundred knowledges. No wonder some people often say "Buddha is the Tao, different paths lead to the same destination", and it is also the reason why we often hear about the birth of great masters who practice both Buddhism and Taoism.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao began to practice the Vajra Breath by inhaling, holding the breath, turning the wheel, and exhaling according to the rhythm of the Nine Sections of Buddha Wind.

Imagine that all the pure winds in the three thousand worlds are absorbed into the body, rotating in the lower dantian area, and then exhaled to expel the black air and karma.

Although it is an illusion and a illusion, the purpose of spiritual practice is to transform the false into the true, which can trigger various reactions in the soul and body.

This is the reason why looking at plums to quench thirst and drawing cakes to satisfy hunger.

Not long after, Zhong Lixiao felt wisps of pure wind slowly blowing across his body, taking away all the dark obstacles on his body.

For a moment, I just felt cool all over, as if I was bathing in a fresh breeze. All the pores on my body were opened, expelling the old and taking in the new, breathing in the fresh air. I felt like I was floating in the air and felt extremely comfortable.

It was so comfortable that Zhong Lixiao couldn't even help but feel like moaning.

At this moment, he finally understood why Buddhists have always regarded the physical body as a mere bag of skin and placed more emphasis on spiritual practice.

Taoism, on the other hand, places more emphasis on the dual cultivation of sex and life, but even though the methods are different, the results are still the same, because this is the so-called "cleansing the hair and removing the marrow."

Zhong Lixiao has done this many times in his many years of practice, and now he is reviewing what he has learned and filling in the gaps.

But soon, Zhong Lixiao felt his body getting colder and colder, and he even felt as if something was creeping in from the outside to the inside and was about to invade his bones.

Zhong Lixiao immediately understood that he had already started practicing the Aquarius Qi and needed to transform his "nature" into heat and fire.

That is to say, the spiritual power in Dantian is transformed into "spiritual heat", "kudzu fire", or more precisely, into "yuan yang".

This way you can better resist the cold and avoid having your pores open and the cold from outside invading your bone marrow, which in turn can cause a serious illness.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao inevitably ran into trouble.

because.

The efficiency of Kundalini transformation seems to be a bit low!
