Chapter 475 The Unconventional Senior Brother's Inner and Outer Core (Part 2)

"The method of cultivation is to correct one's attitude and realize that this physical body is not me, nor is the soul; only the innate spiritual essence is me. Using this false body to cultivate one's true essence is the true nature of using the false to cultivate the true."

Yu Lizi spoke eloquently, and Su Che seemed to gain some insight for a moment.

"The beginning of the path of cultivation is the process of searching for a spark of enlightenment, and the process of condensing the elixir is the process of capturing and solidifying this enlightenment."

"The key to establishing the foundation lies in the unity of Qi and spirit, and the unity of body and mind, where they are inseparable. The most profound resonance between them is the central hub of the soul, the location of innate spiritual brightness. To stabilize this spiritual brightness, one needs alchemy. Alchemy is the process of connecting spiritual brightness with a corner of the Great Dao, thereby strengthening the innate spiritual brightness."

"Throughout history, alchemy has been divided into internal alchemy and external alchemy. Internal alchemy takes the spirit as its foundation, uses the yin and yang energies as its guide, and gathers the essence of the sun and moon to nourish the spirit. External alchemy prioritizes practice, takes the rare treasures of heaven and earth, and focuses on the transformation of kan and li. One takes the mystery of the spirit, and the other takes the profound mystery of practice. There is no distinction between them."

"However, since the Middle Ages, internal alchemy has gradually flourished, while external alchemy has been neglected by few people. This is simply because spiritual cultivation is easy to attain, but practical application is difficult to achieve."

"You have used the Secret Manual of the Yin Heaven of the King of Zhou as your foundation. If you want to condense the Spiritual Bright True Seed into a pill, you must also follow the Path of the Mysterious Darkness. However, since you have taken the Supreme Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Technique as your foundation, you cannot follow this path again, otherwise this achievement will be difficult to complete."

Su Che's understanding of Yu Lizi's words was that the essence of cultivation lies in pursuing the innate seed of spiritual essence and gradually strengthening it.

The initial purpose of cultivation is to find this innate spiritual seed, and the subsequent process is to strengthen this spiritual seed.

Once the pivotal point is established and the elixir is condensed, it signifies the first leap in the cultivator's life.

The Golden Elixir is the vessel of innate spiritual intelligence and the foundation for strengthening this spiritual intelligence.

The cultivation of the Golden Elixir requires alchemical methods, which are divided into internal alchemy and external alchemy. Internal alchemy requires gathering the essence of the sun and moon, using oneself as a furnace, and slowly refining it. External alchemy, on the other hand, requires acquiring various rare and precious materials and then expending arduous effort.

There is no inherent superiority or inferiority between the two; they simply represent different paths.

If one were to follow the normal path and condense the Golden Elixir, the alchemy method should evolve from the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual, following the path of Taiyin Xuan Yin.

However, Yu Lizi clearly did not think that way.

Because in the future that this teacher designed for him, he was to challenge one of the profound and wonderful methods of Huang Tiandao, the "Supreme Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Secret".

“With your current cultivation level, if you forcefully refine the Sun Technique and then harmonize the Dragon and Tiger, it will probably cause delays.” Yu Lizi pulled out the indigo blue pearl, and Su Che felt as if the mountain pressing down on him had been lifted away.

"It would be better to directly follow the Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Method, combining Yin and Yang, and gradually transitioning to the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun True Technique. We can first follow the path of Yin generating Yang and stillness generating movement, and then take the Elemental Magnetic Method as the next crucial step."

Yu Lizi turned to look at Liu Tixuan beside her.

"Tixuan, do you have any thoughts?"

"Reporting to the teacher, since Junior Brother Su has followed the method of the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual, the most suitable alchemy method in the sect is the Tai Su Jiu You Cheng Zhao Dan Jue. However, if he wants to truly achieve success, he should also cultivate the Liang Yi Yuan Ci Ji Guang Zhen Fa as a supplement. After achieving the Returning Elixir, it would be better to use the other two fundamental books of the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun as supplementary cultivation. After achieving the Step Void, he can then combine the Six Dragons to achieve the Returning to the Sun technique."

Yu Lizi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. Then I'll go and fetch the 'Tai Su Jiu You Cheng Zhao Dan Jue' and the 'Liang Yi Yuan Ci Ji Guang Zhen Fa'."

The old master thought for a moment and said, "There's no time like the present. While I'm not on duty yet, Archer, you should go directly to the clean room to meditate and start practicing the 'Two Elements Primordial Magnetic Aurora True Method' now."

Su Che thought to himself that something was wrong. This Teacher Yu Lizi didn't even give him a chance to calm down or make friends with his fellow disciples. He really put his words into action. He did what he thought of.

My ascent to the Yellow Heaven was solely for special training, as my master had kindly given me a bronze wine cup, finally giving me a pair.

Su looked bitter, but Yu Lizi didn't care. She pulled Su Che up and led him directly to the clean room. Liu Tixuan, clearly familiar with his master's personality, immediately ordered the immortal masters in the palace to fetch the two books and deliver them to Yu Lizi and Su Che.

Su Che has really suffered a setback.

That book, "Tai Su Jiu You Cheng Zhao Dan Jue," does indeed follow the path of Zhou Jue Yin Tian Mi Lu. Even the prerequisites for cultivation are similar, requiring the cultivation of a Yin Shan Dong Ming Bao Lu, which is considered a proper internal alchemy method. It also contains various supernatural transformations, in any case, it requires Su Che to cultivate honestly.

The real trouble is the "Two Elements Primordial Magnetic Aurora Orthodox Method". This method is an extremely rare primordial magnetic method in the cultivation world. It is completely different from the "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" that Su Che cultivated before. It can be said that it has been completely overturned and started from scratch.

The two principles are Yin and Yang, and Su Che needs to slowly transform Yin and Yang into primordial magnetic power, and then transform primordial magnetic power into aurora.

Even though Su Che had already reached the pinnacle of cultivation and had Yu Lizi to guide him, this path was still extremely difficult.

By the time Yu Lizi went to take his turn, the technique had only just begun to form a basic foundation.

The six instructors had many matters to attend to, so Yu Lizi directly issued a confinement order to Su Che, requiring the young master Su to cultivate diligently in the clean room. He would not be considered to have passed the test until he had mastered the "Two Elements Primordial Magnetic Aurora Orthodox Method".

He went to take up his post, while Su Che sat in the clean room every day to cultivate himself.

For more than twenty days, Young Master Su diligently cultivated himself, and finally managed to refine a thin mist of light around his body, within which there were faint flashes of electricity.

In a few days, it will be the day when Yu Lizi finishes his shift, which has left the Third Young Master Su in a state of anxiety, fearing that he will not be able to explain himself to Yu Lizi.

And then there's Senior Brother Liu Tixuan. This senior brother completely ignored him after Yu Lizi sealed the place off. Originally, Young Master Su had hoped to build a closer brotherly bond with him, but he couldn't even see him once.

Therefore, the only way to alleviate the tedium of this practice is to manipulate one's own illusory avatar to engage in intense meditation on the joyful Zen.

Su Che endured this until his senior brother finally arrived.

The senior disciple, whose hair had turned white, frowned and looked like he had a deep grudge. He carefully walked into the purification room, holding a seal that he had torn in two pieces.

Su Che looked at his senior brother and wondered why he had changed his personality today, even daring to tear off the seal on Teacher Yu Lizi's seal.

According to the calendar, it's not yet time for Yu Lizi to finish his term. Could it be that Huang Tiandao is worried and wants him to hurry down to the mortal realm to become the reincarnation of the Azure Emperor?
Before Su Che could speak, the senior brother asked earnestly.

"Does Junior Brother often slay demons and monsters in the mortal realm?"

Since his senior brother had asked, Su Che naturally answered without hesitation.

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path..."

"Junior brother hasn't dealt with many fox spirits, has he?"

What makes you say that...?

Su Che suddenly remembered that the little fox seemed to have a relative who was under Huang Tiandao's command, and seemed to be a disciple as well.

Mo Jiaoyu, even your own chiwen ring is someone else's masterpiece.

Could it be that the victim has come to our door?
