Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

In this world, gold beans are merely currency for mortals, while the currency for cultivators is spirit stones, which are also the hard currency of the market.

However, spirit stones are usually passed down among cultivators and rarely end up in the hands of mortals. Even innate martial artists rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with spirit stones.

Chu Xuan had been in the world for a year and this was the first time he had ever seen a spirit stone. He took out a spirit stone and examined it closely. On the bottom of the spirit stone, Chu Xuan found six neat characters: Xuanming Sect Treasure Refining Pavilion!

Not bad, these are spirit stones produced by the Refining Treasure Pavilion, not spirit stones from small workshops.

I've been in this world for a year now, and even though I've never seen a spirit stone, I know a little about them.

Spirit stones are not naturally formed. To be precise, the spirit stones in circulation are not naturally formed, but rather released into the market by powerful forces.

That makes sense, since spirit stones are sold by the piece. If they were naturally formed by heaven and earth, how could they possibly be exactly the same size? If the sizes are different, they naturally cannot be circulated.

Standards are also one of the important attributes of currency.

Of course, the immortal path values ​​privacy. Even a powerful force cannot allow all cultivators within its jurisdiction to use something of little value as currency. Only spirit stones, which have inherent value, can be used and circulated within its own territory after being standardized.

As for the last category, there were three thread-bound books. Chu Xuan opened them and found that they contained a cultivation technique and two incantations.

The cultivation technique is called the Qi Absorption Technique, a non-attribute cultivation technique, ranked as a first-tier high-grade technique. As for the two techniques, one is called the Heavenly Hand, which is the method this person used to deal with me before, and the other is called the Fire Cloud Technique, both of which are first-tier low-grade techniques.

After a while, Chu Xuan put down the three manuals and looked thoughtful. According to the Qi Absorption Manual, if one wanted to cultivate Qi and enter the Dao, one first needed to comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The next step is to comprehend the incantations and seals, condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the seals, and transform them into a vortex of spiritual energy. This is the first level of Qi Induction, which can be considered a successful entry into the Dao, and a complete step into the ranks of cultivators.

As for what comes next, one needs to continuously comprehend new Dharma seals and construct new spiritual energy vortexes until nine spiritual energy vortexes are built, filling the dantian with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the peak of Qi Induction, at which point one can begin to forge the Dao Platform.

Of course, the further you go in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Constructing the first spiritual energy vortex is the simplest. Starting from the second one, you need to consider the previous spiritual energy vortex and maintain the balance between the two vortices.

The further you progress, the more difficult it becomes to construct a spiritual energy vortex. Constructing a spiritual energy vortex requires one magic seal, but to reach the ninth level of Qi Induction perfection, a full twelve magic seals are needed, with three extra magic seals.

The first of the three extra seals was constructed when breaking through from the third to the fourth level of Qi Induction. After the third level of Qi Induction was perfected, a brand new seal needed to be constructed to suppress and assist the first three seals in order to successfully construct the fourth seal.

The remaining two are similar, namely the Dharma seals constructed at the sixth and ninth levels of Qi Induction.

The twelve seals complement each other, serving as the source of magical power for cultivators at the Qi Refining Realm and the foundation of their cultivation.

Of course, the cultivation manual in Chu Xuan's hand only has the first eight seals, which means that he can only cultivate it to the sixth level of Qi Induction at most, and cannot break through to the seventh level of Qi Induction.

Chu Xuan's face showed a thoughtful expression. So this was the method of Qi Induction, which was indeed very different from the method of Body Refinement.

The method of body refinement simply involves drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the body, refining the physical body to its extreme, focusing on creating a powerful physical body. However, the Qi Induction Realm is different; it relies entirely on magical power.

As for the physical body, that's secondary. Although each time the hand seal is formed, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is drawn into the body to form a vortex, it will naturally temper the body and nourish the physical body, greatly improving the physical level of the Qi-inducing cultivator.

However, this significant improvement is only relative to ordinary people. For a proper body-refining cultivator like Chu Xuan, the two are not even in the same league.

The Qi Induction Technique has the most annotations and obvious signs of being read, only the first three chapters. In other words, the so-called immortal master should be at the second level of Qi Induction and is comprehending the seals of the third level of Qi Induction.

However, his physical fitness is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, and he is still far from the first level of body refinement, which is just the beginning. His physical fitness is similar to that of an innate martial artist, or even slightly inferior.

As for its magical power, Chu Xuan had no idea.

However, according to the records in the two books of techniques, a Qi-inducing level two should be able to perform the Luo Tian Hand five times and the Fire Cloud Technique three times.

You can refer to this standard yourself.

However, whether it is the cultivation method or the magic method of this world, the cultivation is based on the seal. The induction of qi requires the seal, and the cultivation of magic is also based on the seal.

Both spells, Luo Tian Hand and Fire Cloud Technique, have their own hand seals. Only by comprehending the relevant hand seals can one cast the corresponding spell.

It seems we can't test it for now; we'll have to wait until we comprehend the Dharma seals before we can see.

With this thought in mind, Chu Xuan did not hesitate. Previously, his body refinement mainly involved body refinement techniques. Now that he had the Qi-guiding technique, even if he didn't practice it, he still had to learn and try it.

Chu Xuan compared the first seal of the introductory cultivation technique with the seals of the two spells. The seal of the Luo Tian Hand was the simplest, followed by the introductory seal of the Qi Absorption Technique, and finally the seal of the Fire Cloud Technique.

The hand seals corresponding to the Fire Cloud Technique are about as complex as the fourth hand seal of the Qi Gathering Technique, and should be considered the ceiling of the first-tier low-grade level.

Since that's the case, he'll first comprehend the Luo Tian Hand, then the Qi Absorption Technique, and leave the Fire Cloud Technique for last, since it's the most difficult, and besides, he doesn't have a fire spirit root, so Chu Xuan isn't sure if he can master it.

Without further ado, Chu Xuan began to experiment with the so-called magic seal, which was to construct magic seal runes using his own magic power. After spending about ten minutes memorizing the magic seal, he immediately began to experiment.

Although Chu Xuan is a body cultivator, he also possesses magical power within his body, only his method of storing magical power differs from that of Qi Induction Realm cultivators.

Qi-cultivating cultivators store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through spiritual energy vortexes and transform it into magical power, while Chu Xuan stores magical power through his enhanced physical body. After being tempered, his body, flesh, bones, limbs and bones can all store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As for which of the two stores more spiritual energy, that would only be known after a comparison. However, Chu Xuan felt that the Qi Refining cultivator should have more.

After all, they practice Qi cultivation, while I practice body refinement; they rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Activating his internal magical power, Chu Xuan's body shone with a pale yellow magical light. Under Chu Xuan's guidance, the magical power gathered in his palm and then began to condense a magic seal.

However, condensing the magic seal was far more difficult than Chu Xuan had imagined. Before this, Chu Xuan had never thought of condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a specific magic seal. Even condensing magic power into threads was a bit of a struggle.

However, even among those with exceptional talent, there are seven parts who are naturally gifted. With continuous attempts, they gradually found the knack for it.
