After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 37: Ancient Book of Cultivation
While the white candle had not yet burned out and there was still some time left in the underworld, Song Miaozhu floated beside the wooden box and began to read the book that Xiangyun gave her.

These books from the previous era of spiritual practice have been preserved remarkably well after thousands of years.

"Eternal Spring Skills (Part 1)", "Introduction to the Four Arts of Cultivation", "Minor Five Elements Techniques", "Breathing Techniques", "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Herbs", "Map of the Central Plains Market", "Illustrated Guide to Monsters", "Essential Knowledge for Qigong Practitioners"..."

Every time Song Miaozhu picked up a book, she would take a quick look at the title and main content before putting it down. Sister Xiangyun was right, these books should not be profound cultivation secrets at the time.

There weren't many books on actual cultivation techniques, but they contained both techniques and skills. Even the common sense ones were enough for her to understand the situation in the cultivation world at the time, which was enough.

Turning to the last book, "Spirit Summoning Technique?"

Song Miaozhu opened it and took a look. The book indeed recorded the method of drawing qi into the body at that time.

According to the book, practitioners at that time had to sit upright on a cushion, with the palms of their hands, the soles of their feet, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of their heads naturally facing the sky to guide spiritual energy into their bodies.

The spiritual practice community at that time believed that the heaven and earth were divided into five elements and yin and yang, and the human body was also divided into five elements and yin and yang. Through the posture of five hearts facing the sky, the practitioner's body could connect with the heaven and earth, feel the way of heaven and earth and nature, and thus attract spiritual energy into the body.

During meditation, when you enter a state of unity between man and nature, you will see all kinds of spiritual light spots. What kind of spiritual light spots you can attract indicates what kind of spiritual roots you have.

Spiritual roots are the foundation of a cultivator's practice. Only with spiritual roots can one practice.

The heaven and the earth are divided into five elements of yin and yang, and the spiritual energy is also divided into five elements of yin and yang. The gold aura is golden, the wood aura is green, the water aura is blue, the fire aura is red, and the earth aura is yellow.

Yin aura is gray-black, and yang aura is white.

But he has the five elements spiritual roots, but not the yin and yang spiritual roots.

The spiritual light spots that Song Miaozhu had seen before did not seem to be any of the ones described in the book.

Although it is white like Yang Spiritual Energy, it has a colorful glow.

And there is only this one kind of light.

However, the description of aura in the book is quite similar to the feeling she had when she saw it.

Perhaps the appearance of the spiritual light spots now is somewhat different from before.

In addition, there is another difference.

The book says that only when one enters a state of unity between man and nature when drawing qi into the body can one see various colored spiritual light spots. Absorbing the spiritual light spots into the body and converting them into spiritual energy can mean that the drawing of qi into the body has been successful.

But Song Miaozhu saw the spiritual light spots while she was folding paper-making. She was just sitting casually on a bamboo bench. She was not meditating, nor was she closing her eyes to calm her mind. No spiritual light spots entered her body. The spiritual light spots were only interested in her paper-making.

It seemed that this "Spirit Summoning Art" was of no help to her, so Song Miaozhu put it down and looked at something else.

After reading all the books in the box during his free time every day, Song Miaozhu went back to look at the book "Spirit Summoning Secrets" and finally found some useful things.

The cultivation rules of the previous era of cultivation can basically be summarized in these six words: "comprehend the way of heaven and earth."

No matter what kind of martial arts method is used, it is through "understanding the way of heaven and earth" to attract spiritual energy into the body, condense essence and energy to temper oneself.

The meditation method of five hearts facing the sky in "The Art of Inducing the Spirit" is consistent with the theory of the five elements of heaven and earth at that time, and the theory of the five elements of heaven and earth was the most fundamental understanding of heaven and earth at that time.

In this way, the purpose of this meditation posture is actually to "comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth" and thus attract spiritual energy into the body. In today's different era of cultivation, the rules of practice have changed. "Comprehending the Way of Heaven and Earth" is definitely not feasible. Then, the theory of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth is likely to be useless. It is also uncertain whether the spiritual energy points still correspond to the Five Elements of Yin and Yang.

Putting aside the various external manifestations of drawing Qi into the body in "The Art of Drawing Qi", just look at the essence of each step.

To sum up, the method of drawing energy into the body in this "Spirit Drawing Technique" is actually to use a method that conforms to the rules of cultivation to attract spiritual energy spots, thereby drawing the spiritual energy into the body and transforming it into one's own spiritual power.

What are the current cultivation rules? Comparing them with the situation in the previous era, it is not difficult to find clues.

In the last era of cultivation, "comprehending the way of heaven and earth" was the most fundamental rule of cultivation. Therefore, whether it was drawing qi into the body, or the subsequent cultivation methods, the techniques of using spiritual energy, and even the appearance of spiritual herbs and spiritual beasts, they all closely revolved around this rule.

Drawing Qi into the body is to comprehend the way of heaven and earth and to initially draw spiritual energy into the body.

The purpose of practicing martial arts is to make oneself more in tune with the way of heaven and earth, so as to absorb more spiritual energy and transform it into spiritual power.

The method of magic is to use one's spiritual power in a way that conforms to the laws of heaven and earth.

In order to draw Qi into the body, one must attract spiritual energy. Conversely, those who can attract spiritual energy must be in compliance with the rules of cultivation!

Song Miaozhu discovered the spiritual light spots when she was making paper-cut items. Although they did not enter her body, it was enough to show that her behavior of making paper-cut items was definitely in line with the rules of cultivation.

Then she just needs to strengthen this behavior and perhaps she will gain something.

Practitioners thousands of years ago were not able to successfully draw Qi into their bodies all at once.

Those with pure spiritual roots can just snap their fingers and spiritual energy will flow into their bodies. Those with mixed spiritual roots have to slowly capture the spiritual energy spots one by one, and the difficulty increases a hundred times.

Although there is no such thing as spiritual roots now, it is very likely that it is difficult to attract spiritual energy.

From then on, Song Miaozhu no longer felt upset when she failed to seduce the spiritual light spot. She would just try again.

Making paper-cut objects can attract spiritual energy and light spots, so she keeps making more!

After attracting as many spiritual energy points as possible every day, she did not stop there, but continued to practice paper-making skills.

High-frequency practice also brought higher returns. Soon she could stably fold out second-grade gold ingots without relying on spiritual light spots.

At this time, she discovered that when she folded the ingots, the spiritual light spots came faster!
Although there was only one each time, when the ingot was only half broken, the spiritual light spot could not wait to merge into the ingot.

The spiritual light spot still treated her the same way, but its attitude towards the paper-made figures in her hand had changed greatly.

When Song Miaozhu discovered this, he was a little surprised.

According to the "Art of Inducing Spirits", the attitude of the spiritual light spot determines the talent for cultivation.

But it doesn’t say that cultivation talent can be changed!

No matter which book it is, spiritual roots are innate and cannot be changed. Otherwise, Sister Xiangyun would have collected so many books on cultivation, and she would not have been unable to cultivate because she did not have spiritual roots.

The aura seemed to be very concerned about the quality of the paper figurine in her hand? The higher the quality, the more positive it was?
