Primordial Qi

Xianbai glanced at the complacent Gu Chenyu. Maybe he had some talent, but that was just cleverness. He was still a long way from being a true genius.

"Kaiyuan only allows your soul to cultivate. Do you know the differences in the realms of the soul?" Xian said. She had been extremely powerful in the past, so her knowledge was naturally not comparable to Gu Chenyu's. She was ready to tell Gu Chenyu about some great realms to scare him.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Gu Chenyu said with interest. He was very interested in these realm divisions.

"After Kaiyuan, the realms of the soul are divided into: gathering soul, transforming, virtual realm, real realm, out-of-body experience, Nascent Soul, and wandering spirit. When you cultivate to the Jindan stage, you have reached the real realm. Out-of-body experience is not like an ordinary realm. It is more like a transitional period. You can cultivate to the point where the soul leaves the body. The Nascent Soul is the soul of a cultivator in the Heavenly Man Realm that emerges from the Jindan and turns into a miniature man, exactly the same as oneself, but smaller in size. As for the later realms, it's useless to tell you. When you reach the Jindan stage, you will be of no use." The immortal was ready to whet Gu Chenyu's appetite and only talked about the realm of the soul in the Monarch Realm. She would not say anything after that.

"Then doesn't that mean I can't even gather my soul now?" asked Gu Chenyu.

"What else? Your soul power is not strong. If you reach the real world, perhaps your true essence will undergo a transformation." Xian said. She didn't know how people in the world practiced. After all, she was also a small human cultivator in the Xianwu Lingjie and didn't know much.

"I have to say it, I have to thank you very much. Without you, I would not have known so many things." Gu Chenyu expressed his sincere gratitude.

"No need to thank me. One day when you meet a soul from ancient times, just capture one and torture him. He will know more details than I do." Xian said indifferently.

"what?"

Gu Chenyu obviously hadn't thought about this aspect. It wouldn't be impossible to catch someone and interrogate him.

Gu Chenyu kept the immortal's words in mind. If he had the chance, he would definitely capture one and interrogate him. He was very interested in what happened in ancient times. The thought of a human cultivator killing an enemy with one sword made his blood boil.

"The cultivation of the soul is actually not difficult. If there are enough soul-related medicines to nourish you in the early stages, then the cultivation will naturally be rapid."

The immortal reminded him, and Gu Chenyu suddenly realized. He immediately took out those soul-tonifying elixirs, such as the Three Soul Grass, Five Flower Fruit, and Soul-Fixing Pills. He took out all those that were related to soul power and compared them one by one, preparing to attack the soul gathering.

"Gather the soul, concentrate the soul power from all parts of the body below the Baihui acupoint, between the eyebrows, and deep behind the brow. After continuous condensation, it can open up the sea of ​​spirituality, also known as the sea of ​​consciousness."

Gu Chenyu practiced according to the basic skills of the Immortal Sect. He felt that the spiritual power in his body began to concentrate a little, and it would actively enter the sea of consciousness even without deliberate guidance.

Everyone has a sea of spirit. When the spirit and soul are transformed into power and injected into it, the gathering of soul begins.

From time to time, he absorbed the elixirs and magic pills he prepared during his retreat. He could feel his sea of consciousness expanding continuously, and eventually it would become as broad as the ocean. His souls gathered to form a sea, and his sea of consciousness was formed.

Gu Chenyu couldn't help but feel excited. He seemed to be standing on the sea of spirit at this moment. This was his sea of consciousness.

A woman whose face could not be seen clearly was looking at him with interest. Gu Chenyu subconsciously looked at himself and found himself to be just a ball of mist...

Transformation is just a process. With the huge soul power as a foundation, Gu Chenyu's soul quickly turned into his own appearance. Looking at the almost transparent soul body, Gu Chenyu also realized that he had reached the transformation stage.

"Huh, in just one week, I have refined my soul to the transformation stage." Gu Chenyu muttered to himself, using the power of his soul to control three flying swords, one of which could pierce through rocks.

"It's a pity that the soul only has its own appearance. After all, it can't be considered a spirit." Gu Chenyu sighed in his heart.

These powers are collectively referred to as soul powers, but the soul body of the little man in the heavenly realm is the primordial spirit, which can practice independently and survive for a hundred years between heaven and earth even after the death of the body.

Gu Chenyu was feeling depressed. He seemed to have hit a bottleneck when he reached the transformation stage. He had been absorbing and refining the soul power in the elixir, but his soul did not become illusory and remained in that transparent state.

The soul body in the sea of consciousness was also sitting cross-legged, and a steady stream of soul power was being refined and absorbed, but it always felt like a lot was missing. Opening his eyes, Gu Chenyu saw the immortal who swallowed up most of the soul power in one breath.

"Are you devouring the soul power that I have worked so hard to condense?" Gu Chenyu said with a dark face.

"You're mistaken. What I absorbed was clearly essence." Xian said as a matter of course.

"Why don't I believe it?" Gu Chenyu asked suspiciously. The milky white mass was obviously the power of the soul.

Gu Chenyu just realized that this guy must have a purpose in teaching him to practice these skills. He didn't expect that he would directly eat his soul power.

"You made me work so hard to condense soul power, and then devoured the pure soul power when I wasn't paying attention, and you worked like a slave for me." Gu Chenyu said angrily.

Xian did not show any embarrassment, but devoured the soul power without hesitation, and said slowly: "Can you teach you something without paying a price? Just be happy that someone is teaching you."

Although Gu Chenyu was dissatisfied, he was still afraid of this guy whose strength was unknown. It would be a waste of time if he fought to the death.

"Eat, eat. These soul powers are given to you. You have reached a bottleneck anyway. It would be a waste if you don't eat. This is a bargain for you."

After leaving the sea of consciousness, Gu Chenyu controlled the Soul-Destroying Needle. Now it was no longer so strenuous and he could use it with ease.

The soul can leave the body for a short time. Gu Chenyu saw himself with a frown on his face. Spiritual power was surging around him. A steady stream of spiritual power entered his body and then came out again. The purest power in it was absorbed, making the spiritual power crystal in his dantian even more crystal clear.

The fake pill was still absorbing the three forces, and it was unknown how long it would take for the fusion to take place. Gu Chenyu sighed in his heart, time waits for no one, and it would be really difficult for him to break through to the Jindan stage.

"The time it takes to combine the three elements into one is too long. Fortunately, I have Gu Qingxue as my backer. If I were a casual cultivator, I wouldn't be able to form a pill in another thirty years."

The soul penetrated into his brows, Gu Chenyu opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, his soul power became enormous, and now his transformation was truly complete.

After leaving the cave, he actually secluded himself for a month. Gu Qingxue was still preaching. Gu Chenyu wrapped himself tightly and blended in with the disciples who were listening to the lecture. Gu Chenyu wore a black robe and even put two buns in front of his chest. Then he sat on a cushion in the lecture hall with his head held high and listened to the lecture.

Gu Qingxue was talking about a Qi-nourishing technique, called the Haoran Qi-Nourishing Technique. Practitioners need to cultivate a breath of Haoran Qi, and then directly reach the Qi-Nourishing Realm after a year. Practicing this technique, as long as one is willing to work hard, one can generally cultivate to the ninth level of the Qi-Nourishing Realm. Some with good talents can even have the opportunity to reach the fourteenth level directly.

This technique is even more outrageous than the Five Elements Qi Training Technique, and is suitable for people with a sense of justice. Most of the disciples of the Qingming Sect are people who care about their country. Practicing this technique can not only help them break through quickly, but also strengthen their faith in the country, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The Confucian scholars of the Dawu Dynasty actually created a method of martial arts. The Haoran Yangqi Jue came from a great Confucian scholar named Wang Anyun. After modifying the Five Elements Qi Training Jue, it was renamed the Haoran Yangqi Jue, which was more suitable for the practice of those talented disciples.

Gu Chenyu silently practiced the Haoran Nourishing Qi Technique, which was surprisingly mysterious. Unfortunately, he had already reached the Gathering Spirit Realm, so it was useless for him to practice this technique.
