The road is vague

Chapter 26: Big and Small Circulations

The practice of breathing exercises can be divided into two methods: small circulation and large circulation.

The small circulation is also called the Ziwu circulation.

The way to circulate the small Zhoutian qi is to circulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the Ren and Du meridians, which can help expand the sea of ​​consciousness and nourish the Dantian. Although it is much less effective in converting magic power, the advantage is that you can practice it anytime and anywhere, without being affected by the external environment, and you can stop circulating qi at any time.

The Great Circulation is also known as the Great Cycle.

The Great Circulation is a way of running the spiritual energy of heaven and earth along all twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. On the basis of the Small Circulation, small circulations such as the meridians of the limbs are added to allow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to complete the comprehensive circulation of the meridians throughout the body, which can greatly enhance the conversion effect of magic power.

However, the disadvantage of the Great Circulation of Qi is that during each practice, one must complete the Great Circulation of Qi for one week before stopping, and this process takes at least one hour.

During this process, there must be no interruption.

Otherwise, it will cause a backlash of magic power, and death is almost certain!
Therefore, when cultivators are practicing the Great Circulation of Qi, they must do so in an absolutely safe environment. This is when cultivators are most vulnerable.

But the Enlightenment Hall obviously does not have such conditions for practice.

This way.

Ding Wei naturally reminded them again and again that they must never circulate the Great Circulation in the Enlightenment Hall. If they persisted and caused a backlash of their magic power, they would have to bear the consequences.

A few days later.

Many people have already mastered the sense of Qi and started to practice breathing independently according to the small Zhoutian Qigong method described by Ding Wei.

The process of breathing in and out and circulating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a wonderful feeling that is difficult to describe in words.

Almost everyone will never forget the wonderful feeling after their first contact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Most of the people here are just children and have no scheming at all. Once they complete the breathing exercise, they will immediately cheer for joy.

However, when some people are happy, others will naturally be depressed.

Those who have never been able to complete the breathing practice, after seeing more and more people around them have completed the breathing practice, can't help but become more and more impatient, and constantly try to ask for advice from those classmates who have already started the breathing practice.

Among them, Zhou Zheng naturally became everyone's first choice.

Zhou Zhengze always remained patient and continued to explain carefully to the students who came to ask for advice, which quickly increased his prestige in the class.

"So this is what it feels like to practice breathing exercises."

Zhang Guoyin, who is already in his sixties, finally completed the first breathing exercise in his life, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked to the podium in the classroom to ask Ding Wei for advice.

"Excuse me, Uncle Ding, I have completed the Small Circulation of Qi, so why don't I feel the same way they described?"

Ding Wei opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Guoyin with a hint of pity.

"The reason they experience so many wonderful feelings is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourishes, nurtures, and taps into their vitality and potential. They are in their youth, with unlimited potential, so naturally, they experience infinite wonders. But you are now over sixty, and your vitality and potential are almost gone. Even if you are nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will only have a slight effect on strengthening your body. You will suffer less from illness, so naturally, your feelings will be different."

"Oh."

Zhang Guoyin did not feel angry, sad or desperate after hearing this.

His rich life experience taught him to calm down, so he just nodded and returned to his cushion to continue his breathing practice.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A girl behind Li Mo couldn't help crying because she still had no sense of breath.

It can be seen that she is a rather introverted person. After so many days, Li Mo still knows nothing about her except that her name is Liu Yaoyao.

And Li Mo is not a meddlesome person.

After experiencing a series of events in Hua'an Town and Shibashan, he is no longer the simple and kind young doctor. Although he feels sorry for the girl behind him, he does not want to get involved.

"Hey, are you two men?"

A girl who looked quite tough and full of sympathy came over and publicly accused Lu Tianyou and Li Mo.

"Didn't you see she was crying so hard? Why didn't you help her?"

Li Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that.

He knew without looking back that the person coming was definitely Hu Tianer. The smell of medicine on her body was too obvious. She probably suffered from some chronic disease and needed long-term herbal conditioning. Her skin was not very good either. She must have lived in a windy and sandy environment for a long time. But to be able to develop such a personality, her family conditions must be pretty good.

After Lu Tianyou woke up slowly, he looked angry.

"I just felt a little bit of energy, and you..."

However, he had only said half of his words when he saw that the person coming was Hu Tianer. His temper suddenly disappeared and his expression instantly turned into a smile.

"Oh, it's Tian'er. I just felt a little angry. Tian'er is right. Don't cry, Yaoyao. Tian'er and I will help you together."

Li Mo felt helpless when he saw this.

What a playboy.

"how about you?"

Hu Tianer looked at Li Mo.

I have to say that Hu Tianer does have a pitiful and well-behaved face, with a kind of exotic beauty.

"My mother said that men and women should not touch each other."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyou was stunned for a moment, then he tried hard to suppress his smile, his face turning red.

When other people nearby heard Li Mo say this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Hu Tianer was stunned and became speechless.

Lu Tianyou secretly rolled his eyes at Li Mo.

After spending so many days together, he and Li Mo have become quite familiar with each other. He knows very well that Li Mo is not a corrupt scholar, and the bandit-like and ruthless nature in his bones cannot be concealed at all.

Seeing that Hu Tianer no longer bothered him, Li Mo naturally felt relieved and continued to practice breathing exercises.

A few more days later.

In Li Mo's class, a major event occurred that shocked the Enlightenment Hall.

Shi Yazhou, who had always been unknown, actually confessed his love to Zhao Huaxue in front of the whole class after class that day.

"Huaxue, I really like you. I have just successfully completed my breathing exercises. Let's be together!"

Shi Yazhou, a dark-skinned, short man, spoke with a sincere expression. This almost instantly caused an uproar in the entire class, who all turned to look at the scene with disbelief. The aloof and cold Zhao Huaxue's eyes revealed a look of astonishment, panic, and confusion.

"I'm sorry, I just want to practice now."

Say it.

Zhao Huaxue was about to get up and leave this place of trouble.

However, Shi Yazhou shouted unwillingly, "Is it because of that boy from yesterday? I've already investigated him. He's the Tao Ran who possesses the Divine Wood Body, right?"

In the corner of the classroom, Lu Tianyou, who was standing with Li Mo watching the fun, made a clicking sound.

"This guy is really a top-notch guy. I, Lu Tianyou, really admire his shameless courage from the bottom of my heart!"

Lu Tianyou had an expression of worship on his face, as if he was looking at an idol.

"Let's not talk about others. Zhou Zheng, the great sage Zhou, from our class, is definitely interested in Zhao Huaxue. Now there's Tao Ran too. Just listen, he has the divine tree body. Tsk tsk, who knows how many people are secretly eyeing Zhao Huaxue. Even a heart-burning arsonist like me doesn't dare to mess with him, and this black earth lump doesn't know his place..."

Lu Tianyou shook his head and chuckled.

"He will suffer in the future."

Having said that, Lu Tianyou poked Li Mo with his arm, with a gloating expression on his face.

"Look, look, Great Sage Zhou's face is almost dark, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo looked in the direction Lu Tianyou pointed and nodded.

"It really is."

"Our class will finally have something exciting to watch from now on. It's definitely going to be a lively time. It's going to be really fun. No wonder you said you should think about other things while eating, haha!"

As for Tao Ran, Li Mo had also heard about him.

He is considered one of the most influential figures in the Enlightenment Hall, and is ranked alongside Zhou Zheng as one of the only two people in this class who possess special spiritual qualifications.

Tao Ran, who possesses a divine wood body, can easily master various wood-attribute spells, and has a great auxiliary effect in alchemy.

Li Mo seemed to be infected by Lu Tianyou's cheerfulness, and he imitated Lu Tianyou's tone and made a joke.

"Perhaps we are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky from afar, while Shi Yazhou has since spread his wings like an eagle."

Lu Tianyou rolled his eyes at Li Mo. He naturally heard the sarcasm in Li Mo's words.

Although neither of them had a close relationship with Zhao Huaxue, they could tell at a glance that such a proud and arrogant girl would never accept a mediocre person.

Shi Yazhou does not seem to have any outstanding qualities, either in appearance or in cultivation aptitude.

I really don’t know whether to say this guy is ignorant or fearless.

"You're following me!"

When Zhao Huaxue heard that Shi Yazhou openly slandered her innocence, she was immediately furious.

"Tao Ran and I are just having a normal relationship. You don't need to worry about it."

Then Zhao Huaxue slammed the door and left.

Zhou Zheng seemed to be still hesitating whether he should chase after him to comfort him in public, but Yang Zhiman rushed out of the classroom first, which made Zhou Zheng, who was about to chase after him, stunned.

Lu Tianyou was enjoying the fun, his face full of excitement, so excited that he almost jumped up.

"This Yang Xiucai usually looks serious, but he's actually a lecher. He's so similar to a friend of mine!"

Li Mo was a little helpless.

The nickname Yang Xiucai was something he said casually, but after Lu Tianyou said it, the whole class now knew it.

It was not until Shi Yazhou left the classroom in a daze that the onlookers left.

night.

Unable to resist Ma Ling's invitation, Li Mo came to the backyard again. After giving some instructions to Ma Ling, Niu Li and Yang Guang, he came to the vicinity of the rockery, found an empty place, sat cross-legged on the ground, and practiced breathing meditation.

More than half a month has passed now, and in a little over two months, the enlightenment assessment will begin.

The content of the enlightenment test is whether one can open the spiritual eyes.

After opening your spiritual eyes, you will become an official disciple of the Lingmu Sect!
If one fails to open his spiritual eyes, it means that he lacks understanding and will be expelled from the mountain, having to seek other opportunities.

According to Wang Feng.

As long as he practices the "Eye of the True Spirit" to the first level, he can open the spiritual eye by himself. It took him about two months to reach the first level of Qi training.

"wrong."

Li Mo suddenly remembered something and interrupted his small Zhoutian luck.

"He must have had the Great Circulation of Heaven luck, which is why he only reached the first level of Qi training in about two months. If he had the Small Circulation of Heaven luck, it would probably take at least three months, maybe even longer."

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but hesitate.

Do you want to try the Great Circulation Luck Cultivation?

But thinking of Ding Wei's repeated warnings that if anyone practiced the Great Zhoutian Qigong in the Enlightenment Hall without permission, all consequences would be at their own risk, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking risks.

After a slight hesitation, he actually took out two spirit stones from his sleeves.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stone flowed out in strands. Li Mo couldn't help but hum softly, holding the spirit stone tightly in his hand, and continued to practice with his eyes closed.

Next, he felt that the speed at which he circulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was obviously much faster than usual.

An hour later, Li Mo gradually woke up.

He found that although he had only completed a small cycle, the speed at which his magic power accumulated was about half as fast as usual, which made him excited.

But then he noticed that the two spirit stones in his hands had obviously dimmed a lot, and the spiritual power inside could only support him to practice for four or five more times at most.

"I don't know how many taels of silver it would cost to buy a spirit stone."

Thinking this in his mind, Li Mo was about to get up and go back to his room to rest, but he saw a flash of lightning across the sky in the distance, and a light drizzle began to fall.
