From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Is this the fundamental reason for the balance and conflict between Yin and Yang?" Duanmu Ying guessed.

"Not absolutely, but it has an impact."

Jiang Liudao said, "Of all things in the world, only the easy remains unchanged."

However, in this world, the natural 'acupoints' representing the innate Bagua have never changed, which must be because the Eight Immortals sealed the innate Bagua with the acquired Bagua.

If we can break through this barrier, then it will not be too difficult to harmonize Yin and Yang in the future, allowing them to blend and create Taiji and realize Wuji.

This requires utilizing the Qi of those eight great demons…

Silent all night.

The morning sunlight shines down.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying went to the airport with their father and Tru to book plane tickets to Japan. The Thirteen Districts had been attacked one after another, and Blake was too busy to bother him to arrange a flight.

Chen Long helped watch the shop.

In the afternoon, Xiaoyu returned from school, casually tossed her schoolbag on the counter, and rushed off to the back room—her father's magic library and research room.

Jiang Liu spent the entire morning immersed in it, gaining a deeper understanding of the magic of this world and confirming his previous guess:

The key to magic lies in the recipe!

In this world, apart from demons and the vanished immortal gods, other human mages must rely on potions and tools to cast spells. Their own cultivation and skills do involve the flow of Qi, but they themselves do not know the art of circulating Qi throughout the body, nor do they know how to refine Qi to cultivate life or practice alchemy to strengthen their bodies.

However, there are also some types who are born with superpowers and are called superhumans. In fact, there was a superhuman in the past who figured out how to pass on his superpowers to others and established a "magician" cult!

Similar to Taoism, Buddhism, the Alchemy Society, and Flammel Institute in the world of Under One Person.

However, such people are regarded as heretics and are looked down upon by the orthodox "potions" mages and wizards of this time and space.

This is because the magical effects that this group can unleash are completely different from those who can use potions and spells to directly resonate with the surrounding weather patterns and cast spells.

It has a single function.

And its power is not strong.

"Shouldn't you teach me how to refine Qi?" Xiaoyu leaned closer to Jiang Liu, who was flipping through "Basic Introduction to Magic Potion Recipes," her eyes full of anticipation.

Did I promise that?

Jiang Liu closed the book, squatted down, and was still a head taller than Xiao Yu. He smiled and asked in return.

"You promised!"

"You're so easily amused."

Seeing her pouting and looking adorable, Jiang Liu couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "I won't go back on my word, but don't you need me to perform the puppet show with you? I remember you have a performance at school in a few days?"

"No rush."

If one can cultivate Qi, what is a puppet show?

It's okay if you don't go.

"Teach me quickly!" Xiaoyu opened her big brown eyes and smiled broadly, looking forward to the upcoming training.

"When cultivating Qi, it's not good to be too hasty."

As he spoke, Jiang Liu drew a ray of spiritual light from between his eyebrows, and with a flick of his finger, it entered Xiao Yu's ancestral aperture, much to her astonishment.

In an instant, Xiaoyu found herself in a hazy place. Everything around her was blank except for a point of light directly above her, emitting a faint glow that illuminated her and made her consciousness clearer.

Opening her eyes, Xiaoyu excitedly gestured with her hands: "Dragon Blast!"

However, no flames erupted.

"Ok?"

Xiaoyu tilted her head and asked Jiang Liu, "Has it stopped working?"

“Refining Qi, refining Qi, naturally requires cultivation. The light point I gave you is not like the Holy Lord's talisman, which can directly grant you power. It can only help you concentrate and stabilize your mind, and it can also directly contact me.”

Jiang Liu explained the benefits of the light spot.

"Okay, then how about Qi Refining?" Xiaoyu asked expectantly.

“It seems that one point of light cannot completely calm your mind, but multiple points of light will not have an cumulative effect.” As he spoke, Jiang Liu drew a talisman in the air and created a nine-aperture talisman, which he placed on the nine acupoints of Xiao Yu’s body. This made her startle, as if she could sense the heat from mixing cement yesterday.

It lasts only a moment, then vanishes in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyu's consciousness returned to the inner world, where she saw Jiang Liu's figure reflected in the light spots, and sixteen different sets of movements appeared around him.

This is the foundation-building method!

It integrates the stances and postures of Tai Chi and Bajiquan, as well as the breathing techniques of Hunyuan Yiqi, involving the entire body's bones and joints, meridian circulation, vibrating the eight extraordinary meridians, and internally cultivating the nine orifices.

"Studying in your dreams? That's so cool!"

Xiao Yu's consciousness cultivated along with the Jiang Liu figure reflected in the light, while her external body also performed corresponding movements. Due to her exceptional talent, she had already opened the three gates and nine orifices yesterday. After completing a set, her Qi circulated through the microcosmic orbit, forming a cycle. The nine orifice talismans were also slowly nurtured by her Qi, showing a hidden potential to reach the heavens and stand tall...

# Chapter 817 Standing Tall and Firm (Part 2)

Although Jiang Liu taught Xiao Yu the most basic Foundation Building method, when combined with the Nine Apertures Talisman, it had another effect!

Having cultivated the four virtues of "manifestation," "secret," "perfection," and "penetration," and possessing the realm of inner observation and outer observation of the world, Jiang Liu's current nine-aperture talisman is the foundation of the Dharma image talisman, closely connected to the nine orifices of the human body, and is one with life and nature.

The function of this nine-aperture talisman is not only to help Xiaoyu cultivate the Dharma Image Talisman in the future, but also to open up the primordial chaos for Xiaoyu in the future, so that the inner landscape can exist constantly, achieve the mental landscape, and lay an important foundation.

To establish a school of thought is to pass on the methods.

This Nine-Aperture Talisman is a fundamental technique that Jiang Liu used to open up the inner realm of the Primordial Chaos and ensure its eternal existence.

Plant these nine-aperture talismans in the human body, nurture them with Qi, cultivate the mind and nature, condense a point of spirit, and finally merge with Qi. The nine apertures form talismans and seals, causing all the acupoints in the body to pulsate, regulating the body's magnetic field, and transforming a talisman that resembles both an ape and a human into a mental landscape. Transform yourself into Pangu, who created heaven and earth, so that the mental landscape will last forever!

Gao Huan was once Jiang Liu's experimental subject, completing his cultivation technique and obtaining the acquired child-child destiny method. He used the floating soul of the six internal organs to construct the image of an eagle, which is also the earth mother goddess - Banajiemu in shamanic mythology.

However, Gao Huan's success was mainly due to the special nature of her technique, which was not universal. Now, Jiang Liu's Nine Aperture Talisman Seal is the true foundation for people to open up the path to a childlike destiny!

The process of nurturing this nine-aperture talisman with Qi also requires attention to the Baihui and Yongquan acupoints, with feet firmly on the ground and head reaching towards the sky, achieving a posture of standing tall and upright.

Those sixteen sets of movements use fist techniques as the foundation, breathing as the source, and human magnetism as the basis. Although they are used for foundation building, those with talent can become masters simply by practicing these foundation building methods.

If Xiaoyu persists in practicing this method, her breathing will help her regulate the energy within her body, her magnetic field will stabilize her life, and her fist techniques will make her body upright and her energy flowing smoothly, allowing her to stand tall and upright.

Thus, with the Foundation Building Method and the Nine Aperture Seal working together, all that's needed is for Xiaoyu to understand the essence of cultivation, condense a bit of spirit, and merge with Qi, so that she can create heaven and earth in her heart and achieve the method of the acquired child's destiny!

If it can be accomplished—

Therefore, compared to Zhao Yingkong and Feng Shayan, Chen Xiaoyu will be the first true disciple who can inherit Jiang Liu's mantle in a meaningful way.

When Xiaoyu's consciousness returned to her body, she truly sensed the Qi within her, which was the "Qi" that Chen Long had mentioned when he taught her kung fu.

In the past, Xiaoyu had only a vague understanding of "qi". Only when she was emotionally agitated could she use the kung fu taught by Chen Long to simply mobilize the qi in her body and coordinate it with her physical movements, thereby passively enhancing her physical fitness.

And now!

The process of opening and controlling the microcosmic orbit enabled Xiaoyu to truly control the power of "Qi".

"Is this Qi?"

Xiaoyu actively circulated her Qi through the Small Heavenly Circuit, causing a surge of white Qi to rise from her body, like clouds and mist, like light and fire, making the chandelier on the ceiling sway violently. "This is amazing! Even without talismans, I am now the Great Saintess!"

"You still have a lot of practice to do before you can achieve the desired effect of the talisman's blessing."

Jiang Liu patted Xiao Yu's head and chuckled, "From now on, you'll have to get up early every day, around five o'clock, to start practicing the Foundation Building Technique."

Five o'clock?

Xiaoyu was taken aback, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Who gets up this early?" she exclaimed.

"Have you ever heard of getting up at the crowing of the rooster to practice martial arts? This is just the beginning. Real cultivation is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult. If you can't even stick to this basics, then you can only dream of having the power to truly possess abilities comparable to those blessed by the Holy Lord's talisman."

Jiang Liu smiled and patiently encouraged her to study, but he stopped there and did not force Xiao Yu to study. He simply asked her to fetch the raw materials for making magic potions.

Although he could open his eyes with the method of observing the world and hearing things, which would allow him to directly search for the location of demonic energy on this planet covered by the Zhou Qi Bureau.

But the demonic energy itself is not important.

Therefore, the world exists under the law of yin and yang balance. Whether this demonic energy falls into the hands of the representative chosen by the righteous energy or is seized by the demon chosen by the dark energy, it essentially exists in this world, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither more nor less.

The collection of masks, demonic energy, and other items is essentially aimed at suppressing and sealing the dark energy, rendering it unable to move, thereby giving humanity more opportunities for survival and development.

As for whether this has delayed the evolutionary process of the world...

Even if this ever-escalating struggle doesn't produce two world-destroying beings in the future, the mages chosen by righteousness will still choose to modify this yin-yang balance law for the sake of the survival and future development of the entire human race.

What if changing the laws is a long way off?

Let's find the bug first.

For example, Lope used a spell to extract the power of the Holy Lord and transformed it into twelve talismans!

and so.

For Yu Jiangliu, it doesn't matter which side the mask or the demonic energy belongs to; what matters is moving the Gates of Hell so that the innate Bagua positions of this world can be set in motion again!

Before the change in the weekly weather patterns of this world, the way of magic potions was the "orthodox".

Therefore, just in case, we should use the methods of this world to resolve those eight gates of hell that were created later.

That is: mixing magic potions + chanting spells.

"Refining Qi is really not an easy thing."

After saying that, Xiaoyu found the materials Jiang Liu needed and asked, "Are you really going to concoct a magic to search for demonic energy? But Dad's magic books about the eight great demons and astrology have already been stolen by the little demon dragon."

"It doesn't matter if the formula is gone. As long as we understand the basic principles of magic in this world, we can reconstitute the corresponding magical potion."

What are the fundamental principles of magic in this world?

It is still the "path to heaven"!

What is meant by "reaching the heavens"?

By using one's own energy to sense the energy of heaven and earth, one can engage in deep-seated information exchange that is imperceptible to the naked eye, thereby achieving a state of harmony between humanity and nature.

However, mages in this world do not cultivate their inner life force; the Qi in their bodies is merely a kind of energy that resonates with prepared magical potions under the influence of magical spells, thereby enabling them to cast spells.

and so--

The energy field used by sorcerers in this world to "connect with the heavens" is the magic potion!
