Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 15: Level of Kung Fu
Chen Qingxuan saw that some of the disciples below had already started trying to write down the two pictures, and said, "You don't need to remember these two pictures. You will soon become familiar with the content above."

"We will conduct today's sermon based on these two pictures."

"Although the path of cultivation is ever-changing, it ultimately consists of only two parts: one is to gather Qi, and the other is to move Qi."

"Gathering Qi is to use spiritual roots as a medium to absorb spiritual energy with compatible attributes from heaven and earth into the body."

"Even after taking in spiritual energy, it does not belong to me yet. I must fully circulate the energy before I can use it."

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like an unruly horse. Gathering the energy is the process of capturing it, while moving the energy is the process of taming it. Both are indispensable."

"Qi circulation is to circulate spiritual energy through the meridians in the body. Every time it circulates, a portion of the spiritual energy is tamed."

"Our Qingyun Sect's basic technique, after practicing for fifty-four days, can return all the energy we have absorbed to ourselves. Among the various sects in Qionghua Continent, it is considered a top-notch technique."

The disciples originally thought that since it was the first sermon, the lecturer might say a few polite words and introduce the glorious history of Qingyun Sect and his own proud achievements.

Unexpectedly, he started talking about the practical stuff right away, and everyone started taking notes in a panic.

When he talked about the basic techniques of the Qingyun Sect, a disciple asked, "Master, how do you distinguish between good and bad techniques?"

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "You can tell by just looking at the number of days it runs."

"The different Taoist techniques have different paths for the circulation of Qi, and the efficiency of Qi circulation varies greatly."

"The lowest level of cultivation requires eighty-one cycles of practice to fully utilize the absorbed Qi. Then comes seventy-two, sixty-three, fifty-four, forty-five, thirty-six, twenty-seven, and eighteen."

"The most brilliant technique, after nine cycles of practice, can transform Qi into one's own. It is nine times more efficient than the most inferior technique, and it can also lay the deepest foundation for oneself."

"But this kind of divine technique is not found in our entire Qionghua Continent."

"The two Huashen Dao Palaces in Qionghua Continent are said to have 27 Zhoutian techniques. Our Qingyun Sect is naturally far from being comparable to them, but among the Jindan sects, it is already very good."

Zhou Qing secretly estimated and found that the world of cultivating immortals is really a place where talent and master-disciple competition are the key.

A cultivator with top-level talent and inheritance will have a cultivation speed five or six hundred times faster than a cultivator with the lowest talent and inheritance.

In other words, the former's one day of practice is equivalent to the latter's two years of practice.

This does not take into account the spirit stones, spirit veins, and the guidance of teachers and seniors.

Taking all these into account, the effect of the former's one-day practice may be equivalent to that of the latter in nearly ten years.

Thinking that his years of practice might only be equivalent to one day's spending by a truly genius, Zhou Qing felt the same as when he realized in his previous life that his whole life's efforts to save money might not even be as much as a truly wealthy person's one-day pocket money.

What's more, he may not be able to practice.

Zhou Qing perked up and listened to Chen Qingxuan continue preaching.

After introducing the general principles of cultivation, Chen Qingxuan began to explain the specific methods of gathering energy.

People's spiritual roots all have the attributes of the five elements. As long as they keep their minds calm, cultivators can feel the energy of the same attributes as themselves in the heaven and earth, and then practice the sect's method of gathering energy to absorb the spiritual energy into the meridians.

After successfully gathering Qi, the next step is to practice Qi circulation.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

According to Chen Qingxuan, he has no spiritual roots and may not even be able to pass the stage of sensing qi. Even if this stage can be replaced by magnetic field induction, it is impossible to absorb qi into the meridians.

After Chen Qingxuan finished talking about sensing qi and the method of absorbing qi, he instructed all the disciples to practice the method on the spot and try to absorb qi.

The initial steps in cultivating immortals are extremely dangerous. Gathering and moving Qi are like capturing and taming wild beasts. There is always the danger of the wild beasts attacking, so it must be done under the supervision of a teacher.

This was the biggest difference between cultivators with sects and those who practiced independently. If the bodies of cultivators who died each year while gathering and circulating Qi were collected, they would be enough to cut off the widest river in Daqian.

Zhou Qing also practiced the exercises with everyone else.

Although it is impossible to achieve in theory, there may be unexpected surprises in practice.

He would not be satisfied unless he tried it himself.

If he could be easily persuaded, he would not have insisted on coming to the world of cultivating immortals.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the cushion, trying to keep his mind calm and sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After spending two quarters of an hour like this, he still didn't gain anything.

His magnetic field induction could clearly sense the unique fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy. Some were as hot as fire, some were full of life, and some were sharp and piercing...

These different energies enveloped his body.

But his body was like an insulator and could not react to these gases.

There is no doubt that he could not sense the Qi with his own body, let alone absorb the Qi into his body.

Finally, Zhou Qinglue opened his eyes with some disappointment.

This was something he had expected, and although he was inevitably frustrated, it was not enough to make him completely lose motivation.

It seems that he has no choice but to try to find a way to practice without spiritual roots.

This sounds like a fantasy.

If it were so easy to create one's own cultivation method, there wouldn't be a situation where large sects monopolize cultivation and individual practitioners struggle to survive.

It is especially difficult for a mortal who knows nothing about cultivation.

But he also has his own strengths.

His magnetic field ability can affect spiritual energy, which allows him to conduct many experiments on spiritual energy. He may be able to forge his own path.

Anyway, he had no other choice.

Zhou Qing swept away his inner frustration and simply put aside the matter of practicing the exercises. He concentrated on observing how other people practiced the exercises, hoping to see if he could find some reference.

He soon discovered that Wei Kuang, a disciple from the Qingyun Sect, did not practice his skills, but instead watched others practice with great interest, and gave pointers from time to time.

Many of them have already passed the stage of sensing spiritual energy, and some, like Wei Kuang, are already trying to circulate qi.

Even those who have not yet sensed the spiritual energy have already had some idea of ​​it, and can always find guidance and care from seniors, so they do not mind the opportunity of preaching.

They were all watching the fun of these disciples from the mortal world.

These disciples in the mortal world obviously felt it as well, and many of them became uneasy.

Wei Xu, who is arrogant and proud, is affected more than others.

He was determined to overpower Wei Kuang and become the eldest senior brother.

He knew that he was already one step behind Wei Kuang in cultivation, so he was anxious to successfully sense the spiritual energy. He was already feeling a bit impatient, and when he heard the whispers of Wei Kuang and the others, he became even more restless.
