I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 148 The Path of Qi Refining
Qi Cultivation Realm 1: Innate.

Xu Zui's cultivation level has reached the first realm. Theoretically, with long-term cultivation, his Qi cultivation can also reach the innate realm.

The Lunar Palace Biotechnology Nutrition Capsule comes with a built-in function to stabilize the Qi channels, so even without breaking through innate limitations and using gene optimization fluid, there will be no side effects.

The effort and reward are disproportionate, so naturally there is no intention to cultivate Qi.

Hearing that Chen Jing could break through to the first level of Qi cultivation in just three days, they were still somewhat surprised: "Only three days? There might not even be enough time to prepare the gene optimization fluid."

Chen Jing refused to rely on mechanical assistance in order to allow his 'qi' to naturally become complete, thus achieving the perfect state of being between heaven and man.

He said, "It's not three days. There are no shortcuts to cultivating life force. The Nourishing and Protecting Technique is the method of cultivation. When the Qi flows smoothly, all diseases will not occur, and one can prolong life."

"Qi is not a physical flow of air; it is the energy obtained from digesting food, hormones secreted by the body, and the system that operates and regulates bodily functions."

"The meridians, also known as the channels, are the pathways through which qi and blood circulate and connect to the internal organs. I have tailored a special method for nourishing and protecting the body. Have you ever seen me stop practicing even once?"

Xu Zui had the right to speak, and although Chen Jing didn't care about the company or the laboratory, he was no less free than the two of them. He said, "I can only understand half of it. As long as you don't forget to save me after you become an immortal?"

Yao Zhi also invested the funds in Wanxiang Laboratory. Although she could also join Yaochi Laboratory in Yaojing, Yaochi Laboratory was not short of money.

He patted his chest and chimed in, "Me too!"

Chen Jing, who did not possess any innate cultivation techniques, nodded and said, "Within three days, help me prepare the gene optimization fluid. I will go back to gather qi and cultivate my own techniques."

"........."

Chen Jing used the method of cultivating one realm while being in the second realm to regulate the body's operating system to its limit, but he lacked the method to break through the limit—gathering herbs and circulating qi.

The Cultivation View does not stingy with cultivation methods, which is consistent with the real cultivation environment, where all cultivators hope to have many fellow practitioners.

Methods for cultivating one's nature and life force can be easily obtained in the cultivation world as long as one has the aptitude for cultivation, but most people only have the qualifications of a sorcerer.

However, practitioners are unwilling to easily pass on their knowledge of feng shui, qimen, physiognomy, witchcraft, and other such disciplines, as this could easily lead to conflicts of interest.

The cultivation method of the Cultivation View was taught to Chen Jing by the Medicine King Ancestor in the secret realm. The practice was called "Qingjing Jing" and "Heche Yundong Fa". The method of breaking through the limit was "Yudao Tai Fa".

Having accepted the task of fighting the Yin Dragon, he also obtained the method for cultivating the primordial spirit in the second realm—the "Scripture of Forging the Spirit and Forgetting Emotions".

Xin Buxiu taught the method of body cultivation, which is called "Dragon and Tiger True Form Method" and "Golden Gate Jade Lock Technique". The limit-breaking elixir was found in the secret realm.

The secret manual for breaking through the limits of Qi cultivation can also be consulted. The cultivation method is "Nourishing the Body and Guarding the Spirit" and "Observing the Spirit and Qi for Longevity". The method for breaking through the limits is called "The Secret of Medicine Master's Qi Circulation and Herb Gathering".

Chen Jing only possessed the "Nourishing and Protecting Techniques," but as a disciple of the Cultivation Sect, he only needed to prove his aptitude and master the relevant knowledge to directly request the cultivation method for the first stage of Qi cultivation from the Cultivation Sect, which wasn't too troublesome.

"........."

In the cultivation of humanity, the highest level of spiritual cultivation is to observe that the main spirit does not overflow; the highest level of qi cultivation is to observe that the qi is without fault; and the highest level of physical cultivation is to observe that the mind is not cultivated.

The method of cultivating qi naturally requires finding the essential qi.

In other words, Wang Tianzhong's cheap master, although he killed the other party's disciple with the "Seven Arrows of Nailhead", it is normal for a superhuman to die.

With the establishment of the Heavenly Capital Underworld, Xu Wu returned to the Xiuren Temple on Zijin Mountain to deliver a message, inviting several elders from the temple to come down the mountain. They planned to use the Underworld as a base to gradually erode the Yin Dynasty's social system, including Qi Wujiu.

Chen Jing wanted a Qi cultivation technique, so Xu Wu helped him contact Qi Wujiu and arranged to meet him outside the Tiandu Secret Realm in Liangjiang City.

"Susu!"

Qi Wujiu heard the rustling of leaves, looked up and saw Li Yin, but did not show a pleasant expression, nor did he mention the old story of fighting for the dragon.

He released the aura of a second-stage Golden Core cultivator, paused, and said, "Li Yin, since we are outside the sect, everything should be kept simple. You should cultivate the Qi cultivation method."

"Come up to me, prove that you are qualified, and then answer two questions to prove that you are competent in terms of knowledge and understanding."

Qi (vital energy) is actually the best means of killing. When qi is not flowing smoothly, all kinds of diseases will arise, and life will be killed invisibly.

In the realm of cultivation, amidst the miasma of divine manifestation, the aura of a Golden Core cultivator can prevent magic from touching oneself, but it can also disrupt the energy within another's body. At best, it can cause difficulties in casting spells and disrupt blood circulation; at worst, it can render one powerless to resist.

"Buzz!"

Chen Jing took a step forward and sensed Qi Wujiu's strange magnetic field. It could be described as chaotic; his internal energy was inexplicably disordered, though his consciousness remained undisturbed.

The aura is not at its peak, so there is no need for the second stage of cultivation to suppress it, and the qi in the body will not get out of control.

He easily walked up to Qi Wujiu, nodded slightly in greeting, and said, "Please enlighten me, Uncle-Master!"

Qi Wujiu withdrew his aura and demanded, "First question: Where does qi come from? What is qi?"

Chen Jing frowned. He hadn't expected Qi Wujiu to ask such a fundamental question. It wasn't difficult, but it was hard to answer precisely.

After a moment's thought, he replied, "Qi comes from breathing and from the internal organs, but it only exists for a very short time, constantly being generated and constantly dying."

"Qi itself cannot be traced; it is neither a virtual sensation nor a real sensation. Therefore, one can only perceive the meridians and acupoints through which Qi flows."

"If we compare the body to wood, which is a tangible substance, then qi is like the flames of wood, which has form but no substance. Shen is like the temperature produced by a campfire, which can only be perceived but not seen."

"Although the flames are always burning, the fireworks only last for a moment. They are filled by constantly new fires, which is the essence of Qi."

His body was like a bonfire, and his spirit like a flame!

The metaphor perfectly describes the three treasures of the human body: essence, energy, and spirit; it could even be said to be extremely apt.

Qi Wujiu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Although Qi is not as ethereal as 'god,' it is not much better than a physical body that can be touched."

"Second question: What is Qi cultivation? And what does it involve practicing?"

Since Qi cannot be traced, how can one cultivate it?
The spirit of the season is activated by reversing the flow of energy, making this fleeting energy even stronger? What's the difference between this and renting a room by the hour and having to renovate it first?
With his knowledge of the real world as a foundation, Chen Jing didn't need to guess out of thin air. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Qi Refiner, the term Qi Refiner is very ancient, appearing in the upper reaches of the long river of cultivation history."

"But the Qi refinement of ancient Qi practitioners was not about refining their own Qi, but rather the Qi of heaven and earth, which belonged to the primitive shaman system and was a technique derived from the method of the interaction between heaven and man."

"Initially, people did not have the concept of Qi in their understanding of themselves. Or rather, cultivators did not initially believe that Qi was a constant existence."

“The Qi in the human body was regarded by ancient cultivators as a product of excessive transformation of essence into spirit, and they did not pay much attention to it.”

"Therefore, initially, the concept of cultivating immortality only included the body and the spirit. The concept of the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi and Spirit was perfected after the establishment of the internal alchemy cultivation system."

"........."

"Qi is like a burning flame. Refining Qi is not like in the stories, where you accumulate energy and then quantitative change leads to qualitative change."

"I believe that the core of Qi cultivation lies not in the Qi itself, but in the form of the Qi."

"Just as flames take the form of fireworks between birth and death, the form of fireworks in a person is the meridians."

"Just as water flows eastward and never returns, water flows continuously without ever stopping, but the rivers and lakes formed by water have form, and the form of rivers is also the meridians of a person."

"The 'qi' that arises and disappears in an instant is given form and regarded as the constant state of the human body. It combines the changes of the three powers (heaven, earth, and man) to form essence, qi, and spirit. It is truly a brilliant idea."

"........."

gas.

Gas shape.

If you burn wood, it will become a flame; if you accumulate water, it will become a river.

The practice of cultivating Qi is not about cultivating Qi itself, but rather about cultivating the form of Qi. The circulation of Qi through the meridians aligns with this principle.

An extraordinary person? Is this what they call an extraordinary person? Completely different from Wang Tianzhong, who only possesses natural talent.

If one learns the law but does not respect it, even if it is learned from an immortal ancestor, one will doubt the authenticity of the method and need to trace its origins to find the fundamental principles of the method.

Seeing that Qi Wujiu remained silent, Chen Jing spoke up: "Uncle-Master Wujiu, if there is anything wrong with what I said, please correct me."

Give me some pointers? Give me some pointers my ass!
Qi Wujiu remained silent for a moment, feeling that given enough time, he could create his own Qi Cultivation Realm manual.

He tossed down two thread-bound books and turned to leave; they were "The Secret of Observing Spiritual Energy and Longevity" and "The Secret of the Medicine Master's Qi Circulation and Herb Gathering."
