Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 27: The Battle of Minds
Wang Xiaohu said, "Do you still remember Feng Yuan?"

"Impressed."

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "Wei Kuang's follower?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "That's him. I saw him on the way here just now. He showed me a small porcelain bottle in a mysterious way. Inside was a green pill the size of a fingernail."

"I smelled the fragrant aroma of the pill. I felt much more energetic after taking a sip, so I asked him what it was. He told me it was a heart-strengthening pill."

Zhou Qing was surprised and asked, "The Heart Strengthening Pill that Elder Jin Mang gave to Wei Kuang? How did it end up in his hands?"

Wang Xiaohu said, "Wei Kuang gave it to him himself. Wei Kuang is quite proud. He told Feng Yuan that he started practicing several months earlier than you. If he took the pill to cheat, it would be dishonorable even if he won against you. So he would rather give the pill to Feng Yuan than take it himself."

Wei Xu was moved and said, "I underestimated him before."

"I thought he was just a nasty guy who was into gang-building, but now it seems he has some blood in him."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "After all, having grown up in a sect, it's inevitable that he has a bit of arrogance. If he really follows Elder Jin Mang's advice and takes the elixir, and ends up succumbing to his arrogance, even if his cultivation level increases rapidly in the short term, it will be more harm than good in the long run."

Wei Xu smiled and said, "This way, Brother Zhou has a better chance."

Zhou Qing said: "The battle of minds is just a matter of inches. If I think I have a chance and then worry about gains and losses, then I have no chance."

Wei Xu and the other two were shocked and secretly pondered his words. The more they thought about it, the more profound the truth seemed to them.

The path to immortality is a process of simultaneously refining the mind and refining the qi.

There are traces to follow in refining Qi, including techniques, realms, and grades. Practitioners just need to move up step by step according to the level of the techniques.

However, refining the mind is vague and elusive.

The three of them often thought about it secretly, but they could never find the solution.

Now, after hearing Zhou Qing's words about the battle of mind, they seemed to have suddenly caught a glimpse of the state of mind cultivation.

This greatly excited them.

Zhou Qing said: "Don't worry about other people's affairs, just start practicing."

The three of them said solemnly, "Yes."

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began today's practice.

The three of them came to Zhou Qing every night for "make-up lessons", so their progress was naturally faster than others. After five days, they were already able to sense spiritual energy skillfully.

At this time, they can communicate with the spiritual energy without any special preparation, and even if distracting thoughts arise in their minds, they can quickly restrain themselves so as not to cause serious consequences.

At this point, they no longer need other people's protection to sense the spiritual energy. This has reached the threshold of practicing the exercises.

So that day they went to Chen Qingxuan together and asked to learn the martial arts.

Chen Qingxuan saw their progress and was naturally very happy.

Although the Qingyun Sect does not have a fixed pairing of masters and disciples, it does have similar interest groups.

The relationship between each new disciple and his or her mentor is similar to the relationship between a successful candidate in the imperial examination and his or her master in the mortal world.

If a genius emerges among the disciples of this class and achieves high achievements, the status of the puzzle solver will also rise in the sect.

The fact that Wei Xu and the other two were able to master the ability to sense spiritual energy within ten days was beyond Chen Qingxuan's expectations.

Among this batch of disciples, only five disciples from Qingyun Sect and Zhou Qing were faster than them.

Chen Qingxuan then taught them the Qi Refining section of the Floating Clouds and Sunshine technique, and pointed out the key points. Finally, he instructed them, "First, you should understand the technique thoroughly, and then practice it." "Remember, when practicing, you must have a teacher by your side to supervise you."

"You can't learn from Zhou Qing. His situation is special and others can't learn from him."

The three of them agreed with his last words and quickly agreed respectfully. Then they sat back on their own cushions and secretly pondered the martial arts.

The other disciples looked at them with envy, and they couldn't help but feel impatient, and all of them put their minds into the interaction with the spiritual energy.

Wei Xu and the other two were each pondering the martial arts technique in their minds. They felt that the text of the technique was not too difficult to understand, but there was one concept that they found difficult to understand.

If you have any problems, find Zhou Qing.

This is a reliable path that has been proven in practice.

The three of them immediately gathered around Zhou Qing and asked, "Brother, the exercises often say that when moving qi, one must pay attention to the timing and achieve just the right level. What exactly is the right timing?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The right temperature cannot be accurately defined in words. It's like a glass of water. Is it hot, cold, or just right? Everyone, even the same person at different times, has different answers."

"Only by practicing on your own can you slowly find the right timing. Now that you have understood the meaning of the text, why not ask Uncle Chen to protect you and let you try to circulate the Qi."

The three of them thought what he said made sense, so they went to find Chen Qingxuan together.

Chen Qingxuan nodded and asked them to sit cross-legged and practice their skills.

The three of them then communicated with the spiritual energy and guided it into their bodies.

Spiritual energy enters through the spiritual roots and is naturally stored in the jade steps.

They tried to follow the instructions, using their minds to guide the spiritual energy, and walked from the jade steps to the platform.

But as soon as they thought about it, the spiritual energy suddenly ran along the meridians like a wild horse, and wherever it passed, the meridians were painful and almost broken. The three of them were horrified and their minds were immediately scattered.

Without the guidance and restraint of the mind, the spiritual energy became more and more violent, almost tearing the meridians apart.

Finished!

Just when the three of them were panicking, suddenly a gentle force entered their bodies and calmed their unrestrained spiritual energy.

The three of them opened their eyes and saw Chen Qingxuan looking at them with a smile. They immediately realized that it was him who saved them.

Although they had heard that qigong was extremely dangerous, they still couldn't expect that it would almost cost them their lives at the very beginning.

The three of them were still terrified and asked, "Uncle Chen, what happened just now?"

Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "Zhou Qing, wake up the other junior brothers and sisters and let them listen too."

After Zhou Qing called all the disciples over, Chen Qingxuan finally spoke: "It won't be long before you can all practice the exercises. It's not too early for me to teach you some common sense now."

"The most important thing about Qigong is the timing. The so-called timing refers to how strong your intention is to guide the spiritual energy. This is different for everyone, and it also varies at different times. You can only keep exploring."

"The most common mistake for those who are just starting to practice Qigong is to overdo it. You want to guide the Qi too much, and your intention is too strong, which causes the Qi to flow too quickly."

"The spiritual energy that has just entered the body does not belong to us yet. If we use it too strongly and run it too fast, we will easily lose control, causing the spiritual energy to rush around in the body, damaging the meridians and even destroying the acupoints. If it develops to this point, it will be incurable."

The three of them then realized that the situation just now was due to the fire being too hot.

Chen Qingxuan said: "Try to practice the technique again."
