Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 131 Distraction and Refinement

I dealt with the things accumulated in Guanli. Recently, the business in Guanli is very good. The materials sent by those who seek medical treatment and amulets have piled up into a hill, and some of them must be consumed, so he started large-scale alchemy.

On the fifth day after returning to Yuyang Temple, Ma Cheng finally came back, "Boy Qin, I heard that you went to Yujing and coaxed the beautiful woman from Hongchen Sect?"

"how do you know?"

"Hey, when I went back to the sect to do business a few days ago, rumors about you went crazy. I really didn't expect that you are so good at coaxing girls. Please pass on some experience to me!"

Qin Chuan was a little dumbfounded, what is meant by "my brother is not in the sect, but there is a legend about my brother in the sect", these things are probably said by that guy Meng Xiaochong, it will be difficult to keep a low profile in the future.

After finally fooling around with Ma Cheng, he began to plan for the next thing. The threat of the He family to him made him feel like he was on his back, so the key to improving his strength was the most urgent task, and refining distraction became the first choice.

He took out a dilapidated animal skin volume, which recorded the secret method of making a robbed puppet, found the refining part and studied it carefully. In fact, he did not know how many times he had studied it, but it was important, so he still Dare not have the slightest carelessness.

A few days later, everything that needed to be prepared was ready, and the spirit was adjusted to the best state. After talking to Ma Cheng, he began to retreat.

Distraction, as the name suggests, is to split the primordial spirit. It is not as simple as separating a soul, but to separate the three souls of heaven, earth and human to form a new primordial individual. The pain it has to experience is second, the key Just a little mistake may lead to the memory loss of the Lord Yuanshen, or even dementia, so we need to be cautious.

Take out the yin soul bead and stick it on the forehead, the primordial spirit flew out from the sea of ​​consciousness and directly entered the yin soul bead, the body lost its primordial spirit and turned into a walking corpse, the yin soul bead just fell into a copper that had been prepared long ago. basin.

Half of the blue liquid was contained in the copper basin. The liquid turned into mist and continuously evaporated to the outside world. However, there seemed to be an invisible force that bound the mist within a radius of one foot. The liquid in the copper basin was just It is the water of the dark spring that Qin Chuan found in the Yinfeng Cave. Only with this kind of extremely yin water can the primordial spirit be better nourished.

Starting to split the gods, he extracted the original soul silk from the three souls little by little. Although it was only a trace, the pain can be described as worse than death. If he could faint, he would have fainted a long time ago. The ingestion of pure yin qi nourishes the damaged primordial spirit, which alleviates the pain a lot.

The process of splitting the god went extremely smoothly. The three split soul filaments were entangled together, and finally formed a soul body weaker than the baby's soul. This soul body gradually merged into the soul body without the slightest intelligence. The first step, and the most painful step, is finally over.

Half a day later, Qin Chuan's primordial spirit had almost returned to its original state, and he started the second step of refining the distracted spirit. If it hadn't been sacrificed, the split primordial spirit would become a new individual, no different from the original owner. There are too many entanglements, and there is a distinction between the primary and the secondary in the sacrifice of distracted gods, which can completely control the life and death of distracted gods, and even merge them because they come from the same source.

What I want to say here is that refining the distracted avatar is a completely different concept from the ordinary external avatar. The distracted avatar is equivalent to another self, and there will never be a backlash, while the external avatar is equivalent to refining a powerful Although the humanoid puppet of thought is a puppet, if one day its cultivation level surpasses that of its master, it may turn against its master. In addition, if the incarnation outside the body leaves the original master for a long time, and its primordial spirit assimilates the sojourning divine sense, then This incarnation outside the body has lost control and has become an independent person.

The sacrificial refining process was relatively long and lasted for three days and two nights. Qin Chuan was very uncomfortable when he sensed another self. It was like schizophrenia. Just in the same body.

Since the primordial spirit could not be separated from the body for a long time, he did not dare to delay after the sacrifice was successful. The Yin soul pearl floated to his forehead by itself, and the primordial spirit returned to the sea of ​​consciousness.

After getting used to his body a little bit, he tried to release his consciousness, but he was startled by the detection distance. Originally, the range of his consciousness was only fifty or sixty feet, but now it exceeds 150 feet, which is almost the same as that of the early foundation establishment The distance is comparable.

Qin Chuan was not happy because of this, on the contrary, he was a little worried, because the enhancement of his spiritual consciousness was not obtained by cultivation, but by trickery. It was like someone who looked much stronger than before, but was actually just " "Puffiness" is not only not good for the body, but it may also lead to various diseases.

"Senior, you have no way to solve such a problem?" There is a great master by his side, so he naturally wants to ask for advice.

Situ Wuhui understood what he was worried about, "I have heard of the method of refining the spirit, but I have never seen anyone who has practiced it. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. You can also train the primordial spirit without the technique of refining the spirit. It's just a long process!"

"It doesn't matter how long it is, as long as it is effective, please teach me seniors!"

"Hehe, it's actually very simple, just practice more and keep it in high-intensity use all the time, such as constantly manipulating magical weapons, or refining alchemy and so on!"

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the reason. This is like a "puffy" person who wants to lose weight through exercise. This soul should also become "strong" through exercise.

Suddenly he wondered whether distraction could also be used to lose weight in this way. After pondering for a long time, he gave a negative answer. First of all, distraction is not just a problem of "puffiness", it is almost equivalent to being super obese who can only lie in bed Even if patients with mental illness can achieve the goal of "slimming" by exercising, they don't know how long it will take to achieve it; secondly, distracted minds have no body to live in, and they can't even leave the Yin Soul Pearl. exercise?Even if there is such a treasure of soul refinement as the Shahun Banner, it is not suitable to show it off frequently.

Since the distracted mind cannot cultivate the gods through conventional methods, it can only follow the method of refining the gods in the divine way, which was originally planned in this way.

The so-called Shendao refining gods is to refine the gods by the method of visualization, and then reach the fairyland where the yin is exhausted and the yang emerges.

As for what is visualization and what is yin and yang, in short, visualization is to meditate on a goal and achieve the point of transforming the mind into form, while yin and yang are the process of transforming the yin god into the yang god.

Breaking through from Yin God to Yang God needs to be tempered by thunder calamity, which is exactly the same as ghost cultivator crossing calamity. The difference is that Shinto obtains power through faith and merit to overcome calamity, while ghost cultivating is a part of cultivating immortals. The first is to use the means of immortal cultivators to cross the catastrophe. The former relies on external forces, while the latter relies more on its own strength. The final result seems to be the same by different routes, but in essence it is the difference between the divine way and the immortal way.

There are also many kinds of visualization. People are most familiar with Buddhist visualization and Taoist visualization. There is enough power of faith to bless it, the more powerful it will be.

To use an inappropriate analogy, visualization is equivalent to the process of refining a magic weapon, the image visualized is equivalent to a magic weapon, and the power of faith is equivalent to the power of cultivation. If you plan to refine a powerful magic weapon, you will often It's hard to succeed, so do what you can.

On the contrary, if the power of the magic weapon is strong enough, but the mana is not enough, it is useless, so the issue of collecting beliefs must be considered.

Therefore, how to weigh the pros and cons is extremely important. For Qin Chuan, he just wanted to train his mind and let his distracted mind survive the catastrophe smoothly, so there is no need to visualize too grand and abstract images. In this way, as long as he visualizes some Specific things, such as visualizing magic weapons, spells or magic circles with strong defenses, will be of great help when crossing the tribulation.

Talismans can also be ruled out. He has never seen a spell that is too powerful in defense, so naturally he cannot visualize it. The defensive magic weapon does not seem to have a suitable target at the moment. There is a magic circle that is barely suitable, and that is the beasts soaring into the sky. The formation and flag are all available, the only thing that makes him not satisfied is that although this formation also has a defensive effect, it is not a real defensive formation.

"This is not in a hurry, take your time!" Qin Chuan gave up the plan to let the distraction visualize immediately, and he suddenly remembered the set of formation flags in Lu Zhaoxiang's storage bag not long ago.

He took out the array jade slips, compared the array patterns depicted on the array flags with the patterns on the jade slips one by one, and quickly determined the name of this set of array flags. Unlike Qin Chuan's simple version of the Beiming Xuanshui Forbidden Array, this array is a complete Wutu Forbidden Array, and its defense is several times higher than his Xuanshui Forbidden Array. It is a "fool-like" formation treasure, so those who require formation formation must have a certain formation foundation.

Qin Chuan doesn't care about a mere middle-grade Wutu Forbidden Formation, but this provides him with an idea. If he can get a complete set of Five Elements Forbidden Formation, it will not only provide a visual target for distraction, but the most important thing is safety. There is a great guarantee, because the big five-element forbidden formation is a high-level magic formation that integrates offense and defense. Even the masters of the Jindan stage will have headaches facing such a large formation.

After leaving the customs, he found Macheng and asked where there was a place that sold high-level magic circles.

"Boy Qin, your appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Do you know how much a complete high-level magic circle is worth?"

"Uncle, don't make detours!"

"Fill up the wine first!"

Qin Chuan filled up the wine obediently, Ma Chengzi drank it in one mouthful, and ate another mouthful of vegetables, then said slowly: "Generally speaking, a high-level magic circle is enough to serve as a medium-sized or even a large-scale sect's mountain guard formation. , its value will not be less than 20 spirit stones, like the Great Five Elements Forbidden Array you mentioned, I am afraid it will cost about [-] spirit stones!"

"20?" Qin Chuan's enthusiasm was extinguished at once. If it was 20, he could barely scrape together it. As long as it was safe and secure, he would be willing to spend all the spirit stones, but with [-] spirit stones, he would No matter what, I can't make it out!
"You boy, why did you suddenly ask about the array? I think the array in your cave is pretty good, it's simple and practical!"

Qin Chuan didn't hide anything, and briefly talked about the feud with the He family.

"Tsk..." Ma Cheng couldn't help but smacked his lips. He had also heard about the He family's vengeful character, and it was indeed very troublesome to offend them.

"You don't have to worry too much. The He family and our Yan Luozong have a family feud. Now the world of cultivating immortals is in troubled times. I don't think they will take the initiative to come to provoke a fight. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to anyone. By the way, the last time I returned to the sect The sect has been instructed that all foundation establishment disciples and inner sect disciples should try not to travel far away, and you should stay in the temple. If the other party bullies the sect, it will be a serious provocation to our sect. The consequences for this, Presumably they should also weigh it carefully, what you have to guard against is that the other party makes a secret move!"

What Qin Chuan was worried about was the opponent's secret attack, so he thought of the formation, and now it seemed that he had to find another strategy.

In the following days, except for the occasional trip to Heishuifang City to learn how to refine weapons, he almost lived in seclusion. The crazy alchemy made the "business" in the temple very good. Except for some ordinary people who came to seek medical treatment and medicine, he also attracted scattered people from thousands of miles away. Xiu and the small Xiuxian family patronize.

Medicinal pills have always been one of the indispensable resources for cultivators, but the high price has deterred those monks who are cash-strapped. The "processing of supplied materials" business of Yuyang Temple just meets their needs.

Qin Chuan didn't want to earn spirit stones by refining alchemy at the beginning, but his purpose was to refine spirits. As a result, after several months of training, the effect is still good, but the biggest gain is not the increase in the strength of spiritual consciousness, but the improvement in the level of alchemy. The success rate of commonly used elixir such as Juqi Pill has reached [-]%.

In fact, there is nothing surprising about this. No matter alchemy, weapon refining, or talisman making, it is a process of practice that makes perfect. The materials he consumed in a few months are worth the materials used by others in learning alchemy for several years. If there is no result, then he can wash and sleep.

The thing that made him worry all the time did not happen. Later, he heard the news from Lei Wannian that the Da Chen Guoxiu forces asked the surrounding countries for help. Due to the reason that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, Da Chu, who was closest to Da Chen, had to respond , and as one of the three immortal cultivating forces in the Great Chu Kingdom, the He family certainly cannot stay out of the matter.

Since the He family has major matters related to survival, other small matters can naturally be put aside first. Qin Chuan guessed this way. In fact, judging from the performance of the monks in the square city, it does make people feel a little bit like a mountain rain I feel that the prices of magic tools, elixirs, and talismans have been rising recently, while the prices of materials have been falling. The entertainment industry has begun to become sluggish. For example, the business of Qianjin Yixiaolou has been very bad recently.

In an elegant room in Yixiao Building, as a "regular customer", Qin Chuan was sipping tea carefully, "Your spiritual tea is not bad, give me a few catties later!"

Huangfu Yeyu rolled his eyes at him, "How dare you speak up, I spent two hundred spirit stones to get half a catty of this millennium cloud tea!"

"Stingy, it seems that your place is quite deserted!"

"Well, the situation has changed a little bit recently. Four months ago we said that nothing would happen in the near future. I didn't expect it to affect Dachu now!"

"This Blood Killing Clan is too rampant. Now that they have occupied a large territory, aren't they afraid of driving people into a hurry?"

"There is no end to people's hearts, not to mention that Da Chen's resources are really insufficient. When they took Da Chen first, they must have just used it as a springboard!"

Qin Chuan nodded, not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer, "You didn't ask me to come just to talk about this, did you?"
