Chapter 78 Blood Buddha Sutra
Li Wushou was overjoyed.

He hurriedly opened the Blood Buddha Sutra, and sure enough, it no longer contained any erotic pictures of ladies, but rather a genuine method of cultivating Qi.

After quickly flipping through a few pages of the cultivation manual, Li Wushou discovered that the manual was somewhat different from what he had previously imagined.

It's so righteous it's almost sinister!
This blood-written Buddhist scripture records three stages: "Origin," "Coiled Dragon," and "Vajra."

This "origin" is similar to the Yin-refining and Qi-consuming techniques in the Divine Official's Yin-refining Technique, and should belong to the Qi-refining chapter.

However, this Blood Buddha Scripture is refined from genuine natural Yang energy, which is the energy of the sun in the sky.

If one reaches the stage of refining yang into blood and gathering blood yang, one can cultivate a blood yang body and form a connection with Buddhism. This is equivalent to building a yin body in the yin-refining technique of priests. It is equivalent to the realm of most minor priests.

As the body absorbs more and more solar energy, the blood and yang energy surge like a torrent! That's when you reach the "Coiling Dragon" stage!
The so-called "coiled dragon" means focusing your mind on the lower dantian and transforming the power of the natural sun into five fire dragons, which are then drawn in from the Baihui point, the Yongquan points on both feet, and the Laogong points on both hands. The five dragons carry blood and qi and coil in the dantian, forming a blood-red yang!
At this stage, the blood yang energy in the body begins to transform from gas into liquid and is continuously compressed!

Li Wushou's Divine Official Yin Refining Technique did not have a specific method for cultivating this stage, but through the mysterious interplay of shadows and his own abilities, he liquefied the Yin energy within his body and entered this stage.

According to the stories Wu Zhuangyuan had told before, Li Wushou believed that this step was the foundation building stage!
So, this next "Vajra" is the next step after Foundation Establishment, the Golden Core? Thinking of this, Li Wushou felt a surge of excitement and quickly continued flipping through the pages!
When it came to the "Vajra" stage, Li Wushou originally thought it meant to be the most powerful and yang!

Unexpectedly, this step had a flavor of "refining yin within yang"!

However, just as Li Wushou had guessed, the "Vajra" realm corresponds to the Golden Core realm! Reaching this stage is all for the purpose of condensing the Golden Core in the dantian!
The five streams of blood yang energy are continuously liquefied and compressed using the "coiled dragon" method! Eventually, they will form a core.

But this blood yang energy is too fierce and violent!

One careless mistake during the formation of the elixir can lead to the destruction of the elixir and death.

According to the Blood Buddha Sutra, the Blood Buddha of Blood Buddha Temple, a man of extraordinary talent, modified this method, and thus many monks who had reached this stage began to refine that wisp of Yin.

Once refined, one can forge a golden elixir, achieve an indestructible body, and transcend the distinction between immortals and mortals!

"Is this truly the Blood Yang Technique of the Blood Buddha Temple?"

Li Wushou asked the old beggar with some disbelief.

The old beggar, still wolfing down his food, was somewhat confused and asked without looking up, "What do you mean?"

Chen Gou'er swallowed a mouthful of fish and interjected at the opportune moment: "It's true, the old beggar asked the four-eyed monk from the Blood Buddha Temple for it!"

Li Wushou shook his head slightly, somewhat speechless.

"This kung fu is so good it looks like a fake!"

"???"

Chen Gou'er was full of questions, but the old beggar understood. He wiped the grease from his mouth and said, "Turn to the next page!"

"Huh~?"

Li Wushou continued flipping through the pages, and upon seeing this, he immediately exclaimed, "That's it!"
He breathed a sigh of relief. How could he possibly practice such righteous techniques from Blood Buddha Temple? This is the right way!
These last three pages finally matched Li Wushou's initial impression of the Blood Buddha Temple. It turned out that the previous version had set too high a requirement for the cultivator, and even a sect like the Blood Buddha Temple would find it difficult to find a genius with such talent. Therefore, the Blood Buddha revised the entire technique from beginning to end.

From the very beginning, the monks of Blood Buddha Temple have not been cultivating the natural energy of the sun, but rather the blood energy of the human body!
Humans, as beings born with inherent intelligence, possess both Yin and Yang, and their flesh and blood contain the Yang energy of blood.

This blood-yang energy is equally intense, but compared to the energy of the sun, it is more peaceful, making it easier to refine and easier to cultivate.

When it came to the "Panlong" stage, this Blood Buddha retained the method of gathering Qi in the Panlong form, but changed the Qi inlets of the five dragons to the flesh and facial features.

To this end, the other party specially created the method of cultivating spirit officials, which is the blood and flesh spirit official that Li Wushou is familiar with!
With this aiding their practice, the monks of Blood Buddha Temple naturally made rapid progress.

If viewed in this light, the Spirit Cultivation Technique of Blood Buddha Temple and the Soul Devouring Shadow Technique of the Divine Official's Yin Refining Technique are somewhat similar, both serving as aids in cultivation.

Another advantage of this modified cultivation method is that it makes it easier to form the core. The blood yang naturally carries a touch of yin, and as long as it is continuously refined, it is not easy for the core to be destroyed and the person to die when forming the core.

Of course, it's not without its drawbacks. While this kind of cultivation is a shortcut, it can lead to an unstable cultivation level and a lower strength compared to many other cultivators at the same level.

In addition, there is another drawback: refining too much of the blood yang energy of others will lead to a mixed soul, making it extremely difficult to take another step forward.

Just like those in the Shinto sect who absorb too much incense offerings, resulting in a mixed and chaotic spirit, most of the monks at the Blood Buddha Temple are like this!
But are these shortcomings important to many people who lack talent for cultivation?
One is destined to be a mortal for life, at the mercy of others; the other is a celestial being who is also a mortal, and thus the one who preys on others!

If it were you, what would you choose?
No wonder that even though the City God sold the South City to the Blood Buddha Temple, he still imposed many restrictions on them and did not allow them to spread their teachings.

If this method is passed on, it won't be long before these five parties have to change their ways, although it's pretty much the same now!

Li Wushou read the Blood Buddha Scripture again from beginning to end and finally memorized its contents. As for how to practice it, Li Wushou had not yet figured it out.

Although his Yin-Yang Meridians were mysterious, Li Wushou was not sure if there was any conflict and needed to explore further.

Moreover, the more Li Wushou looked at the book, the stranger it seemed. He glanced up at the old beggar and Chen Gou'er, who were still fighting, and suddenly asked again, "Why is this book so new? The ink on it isn't even dry yet!"

The sudden sound startled Chen Gou'er, who then choked quite a bit.

The old beggar coughed twice and replied calmly, "Who would carry this technique around? When I went to ask for it, I made the person memorize it. I wrote it down! Of course, the ink wasn't dry yet."

Li Wushou suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

Nodding, Li Wushou tucked the Blood Buddha Scripture back into his chest, glanced at the fish tail that the two had already eaten a third of, picked up a small knife, and joined the battle.

The three of them ate and drank to their hearts' content!
While eating, they praised Chef Hu's culinary skills and unanimously agreed that his skills were second only to those of the monks at Blood Buddha Temple.

However, when Chen Gou'er occasionally exchanged glances with the old beggar while eating meat, he always seemed a little guilty.

Because he clearly saw that the head monk of Blood Buddha Temple was carrying a book.

The book was much thinner than it is now; it only became this thick after the old beggar wrote and drew on it!
