A passerby in a horror movie

Qingsongzi had told him about these things, but Qingsongzi didn't understand the specific methods of the scriptures. Even those ancient books were passed down from his master and grandmaster, and he couldn't cultivate magical power from them.

Therefore, Qing Songzi couldn't teach him in this aspect either. He could only let Li Haotian memorize the scriptures himself, explain the main idea of ​​the scriptures to him, and then Li Haotian would have to rely on himself.

Li Haotian took the books from Uncle Nine, opened them, and saw that the first one was the Huangting Jing, the same one he had memorized in his original world.

However, it contains dense annotations and so-called cultivation methods, which are also written after the text.

Li Haotian was immediately captivated; this was the true cultivation method!

Moreover, it is a cultivation method that has been passed down for thousands of years, which is many times more advanced than the ancient books that the abbot and Master Li gave him in the world of the old corpse in the mountain village.

Li Haotian quickly bowed and thanked his Ninth Uncle.

"Thank you for passing on the Dharma, Uncle Master."

Uncle Nine nodded in satisfaction.

In the following time, Uncle Nine began to explain to Li Haotian the methods of cultivating the scriptures, as well as the precautions.

Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who were standing nearby, were also listening in.

Although Wencai and Qiusheng had both learned these things, they hadn't studied them seriously and had basically forgotten them. Taking advantage of the time while teaching Li Haotian, they were also given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with them again.

This really tormented the two of them!

Li Haotian has an excellent memory; he can remember almost anything after watching it several times, but Wencai and Qiusheng are not like that.

Wencai, in particular, was overwhelmed by the dense text. If he weren't afraid of being beaten by his master, he would have run away long ago.

Uncle Nine spent the entire afternoon instructing Li Haotian, finally finishing explaining all the key points of the martial arts technique. He also taught Li Haotian a few minor self-defense spells.

That night, Li Haotian returned to his room with great enthusiasm to begin his cultivation, while Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng went home listlessly.

Li Haotian sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate his spirit and draw in qi according to the cultivation method of the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing.

The various martial arts techniques that Uncle Nine taught him were all basically the same in effect, so Li Haotian only needed to choose one as his main practice.

Nowadays, the Maoshan Sect basically uses the Shangqing Dadong True Scripture as their introductory cultivation method, and Li Haotian is no exception.

The Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture has 39 chapters and is also known as the Thirty-Nine Chapters Scripture.

The cultivation method consists of three chapters per level, with a total of thirteen levels.

The first to third levels are for refining essence into qi, the fourth to sixth levels are for refining qi into spirit, the seventh to ninth levels are for refining spirit into emptiness, the tenth to twelfth levels are for returning to emptiness and merging with the Dao, and the thirteenth level is for ascending to immortality.

The realm of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness is also known as the human immortal by the ancients. Returning to emptiness and merging with the Dao is the earth immortal, and ascending to heaven is naturally the celestial immortal.

(This is fictional content and is used for the purpose of setting the story only.)

According to Uncle Nine, there are only a handful of people in the Maoshan Sect who can cultivate to the seventh level or above of the Human Immortal realm. They are mostly old-timers, and each one who dies is one less available.

Most of the younger people stay below the fourth floor.

Even among people of Uncle Nine's generation, many have not broken through to the fourth level.

Uncle Nine is currently only at the fifth level, in the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.

Even within the sect, this is considered quite good. Among his peers, those whose cultivation surpasses that of Uncle Nine can be counted on one hand.

Although he is only two levels away from the next realm, cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, and he has no confidence that he can break through in his lifetime.

As for Master Four Eyes, after breaking through to the fourth level, he remained silent. No matter how much he cultivated over the past few years, his realm did not improve at all, so he had no choice but to focus on the art of summoning spirits.

Otherwise, if there's a broad road to take, why would anyone choose to take a shortcut?

Technique is just technique; it cannot lead to enlightenment or immortality.

As long as one's understanding of the Dao is profound, one can naturally comprehend supernatural powers even without learning techniques.

Unfortunately, not everyone has exceptional talent. If one's cultivation level cannot be broken through, one can only compensate in other areas.

"The sky is clear and the air is fresh, the three lights shine brightly, in the golden chamber and jade room, ancient fungus and precious mushrooms grow..."

Li Haotian silently recited the scriptures and contemplated the divine in his heart.

Perhaps it was his talent, or perhaps it was because the world of Mr. Zombie was easier to cultivate in, but Li Haotian quickly got into the zone.

The spirits residing within his body were all very clear to Li Haotian. He could even sense that these spirits within his body were beginning to help him cultivate.

A faint stream of magical power slowly condensed within his body, circulating throughout his body dozens of times.

Li Haotian instantly felt his mind clear, and a gentle energy flowed into his body from the top of his head. His magical power quickly condensed into a ball of energy and stabilized in his dantian.

This is the sign of successful cultivation in the first chapter of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

Li Haotian has cultivated magical power, but it is not stable.

One must wait until all the spirits within the body have finished contemplating and can condense a Dharma embryo in the dantian before one can break through to the realm of refining essence into qi and be considered a true cultivator.

As cultivation progresses, the Dharma Embryo grows stronger, requiring one to concentrate the mind and enter the Qi cavity, which is the Dharma Embryo itself, to move it from the lower Dantian to the middle Dantian. This is the sign of refining Qi into spirit.

Then, the Dharma Embryo moves from the middle dantian to the upper dantian, and the Dharma Embryo transforms into the Divine Embryo, which can freely enter and exit from the top of the head. This is the Yang Spirit, which is the realm of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness.

When Uncle Nine was teaching, he explained these verifications to Li Haotian one by one, so Li Haotian could know at any time which step he had reached.

"So you've successfully entered the field? Uncle Nine said not to rush and to take your time, right?"

Feeling the successful condensation of magical energy within his body, Li Haotian couldn't help but exclaim with joy.

At the same time, I also have some doubts.

According to Uncle Nine, it took him nearly three months to master the skill.

After all, the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture is different from ordinary cultivation methods. Just the visualization of deities and various magical forms requires a considerable amount of time.

However, once these deities have successfully completed their meditation, this step can be skipped or simplified.

But most people can't focus their minds that quickly; just getting rid of distracting thoughts takes a lot of time.

But Li Haotian seemed to have divine assistance; as soon as he thought of something, the image of the deity would appear in his body, without him having to consciously think about it.

Could it be that communicating with the divine has such an effect?

Li Haotian then thought of the reward he had received, the Divine Connection, but the space hadn't mentioned that the Divine Connection also allowed access to the "gods" within him.

Shaking his head, unable to figure it out for the time being, Li Haotian let it go. There was still a long time in the evening, so Li Haotian continued his cultivation.

Soon, a night passed. Li Haotian had been meditating and cultivating all night, and surprisingly, he did not feel tired at all. He even made a breakthrough.

"After completing the second chapter of cultivation, I can immediately begin cultivating the third chapter. I estimate that I will be able to reach the first level of Refining Essence into Qi in at most two days."

Li Haotian opened his eyes and murmured.

Perhaps the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture is truly suitable for his cultivation. Li Haotian never expected that he could cultivate so quickly.

It only takes two or three days to reach the first level.

This speed is unmatched even by the eldest disciple of Uncle Nine's generation.
