Chapter 13. The Gods Are in Charge
Xu Qing and Chen Jingxin parted at the gate of Taoist Temple.

At present, Xu Qing has not yet gone through the ordination ceremony and is not considered a formal disciple of Yuanfu Temple, so he can only live in the Taoist Temple for the time being.

Only after the ordination ceremony will one have his or her own courtyard in the temple.

Before parting, Chen Jingxin took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Qing:

"Junior brother, there are nine Qi and blood medicines in here."

"With Junior Brother's talent and the technique that suits him, he should be able to master the Form Refining Technique very quickly. Once he starts practicing, the need for the Blood Nourishing Pill will be imminent."

"These nine blood-nourishing pills are the reward given by the temple to the disciple who first completes the foundation building. Junior brother, you can accept them without worry."

Xu Qing had originally planned to act as if he was reluctant to accept the red envelope, but now after hearing this, it was impossible for him to push it away. He quickly smiled and stretched out his hands to take it.

"Then I will accept it, and thank you, Senior Brother and our Taoist temple."

Chen Jingxin smacked her lips as she watched Xu Qing's performance.

Regardless of Junior Brother Xu's amazing talent, his temperament alone shows that he is not an ordinary person.

Most of the ordinary children from poor families are honest, timid, inferior and try to please others unconsciously. This is caused by the living environment they grew up in.

Judging from Junior Brother Xu’s clothes, he is obviously from a poor family.

However, his personality is completely different from that of ordinary poor children.

There was respect in his words but no flattery, and his tone was generous and dignified, neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not sound like someone from a poor family at all.

Chen Jing couldn't figure out what kind of environment could create such a temperament for Junior Brother Xu.

I can only sigh.

Junior Brother Xu's temperament, character, and aptitude are all top-notch. He is truly a natural born cultivator.

Afterwards, Chen Jingxin gave Xu Qing a few words of advice on how to practice well and then turned and left.

Xu Qing put the small porcelain bottle in his arms and walked into the Taoist children's courtyard.

There were quite a few people in the Taoist Temple at this time.

Xu Qing chose a quiet corner where no one was and sat down.

With his eyes closed and his mind flashing, countless words surged from the depths of his brain and transformed into a set of exercises in front of the twelve guardian gods.

I just took a quick glance at the Dharma Repository just now. If I want to start practicing, I have to study it carefully.

Xu Qing carefully comprehended the skills he had acquired.

He currently only has the general outline and the body refining parts of the entire set of exercises, and the rest can only be obtained after he is ordained.

Xu Qing was not greedy about this.

Having the method of refining the body is enough to continue the subsequent practice.

Next, Xu Qing read the entire technique, analyzing every word and sentence, which took him a full hour.

After reading it all, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

In fact, the main text of the two parts, the general outline of the exercises and the refining of the body, only has two or three hundred words in total.

However, compared with the main text of the exercises, which is so concise that every word is precious, the annotations and explanations as well as the experience summary of later generations are a thousand times more than the main text.

It was the latter that Xu Qing lamented.

The text of the exercises is undoubtedly a priceless treasure, but it is too concise, and it seems that those senior masters would not be able to show their level by writing a few more words.

Every word and every sentence carries a lot of information.

If there is no one to guide you, you must have a high level of understanding and a strong foundation if you want to obtain the Dharma.

But the annotations, which are far more detailed than the main text, even detailed enough to break down this aspect of practice and feed it to your lips, are able to completely solve this problem.

Even if no one has practiced this technique for thousands of years and no one can guide the later generations, it is enough to ensure that this tradition will continue.

There were even some of the predecessors' creative ideas about this technique, which were unique and inspiring. Xu Qing benefited a lot from reading them.

This is the foundation accumulated by a sect over thousands of years.
After figuring out how to practice this stage of refining the body and refining the essence.

Xu Qing emptied his mind, restrained his spirit, and began to visualize the images of the twelve gods, the Six Dings and Six Jias.

The general outline of the exercise includes a divine intention with images of the twelve gods, the six Dings and the six Jias. Ordinary disciples practice by visualizing these twelve gods. The more detailed and specific the images of the gods they visualize, the more powerful the effect of the exercise will be.

Of course.

The more detailed and specific the image of the gods that is visualized through practice, the more mental and spiritual energy will be consumed.

Spirit is the master of form; form is the home of Spirit.

Form and spirit are interdependent and influence each other, so generally speaking, the stronger the form, the stronger the spirit, and practice progresses step by step.

however.

This is a bit inappropriate for Xu Qing.

The Six Dings and Six Jias are Xu Qing's natal guardian deities. The two are closely related and their lives are connected. On some level, they can be regarded as one.

In other words.

Others who practice this method concentrate on the Six Dings and Six Jias, uniting their own spirit with the spirit of heaven and earth, and using the spirits as agents to sort out the human body, the universe and the earth.

But Xu Qing's own spirit is one with the spirit of heaven and earth. When he meditates on the Six Dings and Six Jias, he is actually looking inward within himself.

Like a person looking in a mirror.

You are yourself, both inside and outside the mirror.

Therefore, for Xu Qing, the first step to get started was not difficult or arduous at all.

The moment he practiced the body-refining method in the "Imperial Command of the Six Dings and Six Jias", the images of the twelve guardian gods in his mind were activated and all shone with spiritual brilliance.

Afterwards, Liujia Yangshen actually fell from the mind into the limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Jiaxu sits in the spleen and stomach, Jiashen sits in the lungs, Jiazi sits in the kidneys, Jiayin sits in the liver and gallbladder, Jiawu sits in the heart, and the last Jiachen falls into the blood, controlling the qi and blood and wandering around.

When it is.

A burning sensation brewed in the abdomen.

Xu Qing could clearly feel that
The spleen and stomach qi in the body suddenly becomes stronger and gradually forms a vortex, which quickly digests the food eaten this morning like a millstone, and transforms it into water and grain essence that rises up.

Then, under the coordination of the two earths in the center, the metal emotion and the wood nature are combined, the water is below and the fire is above, and the essence of water and grain circulates among the internal organs, and the qi circulates and spreads from all parts of the body.

Xu Qing suddenly felt his whole body getting hot and his blood rushing up.

This feeling is even stronger than when the foundation was first established.

It was as if there was a furnace inside the body, reflecting every inch of muscles, bones, and skin, and the blood turned into lava and rushed through the whole body.

The vigorous and blazing breath of life essence emanates from here, warming and tempering every corner of the body.

Xu Qing's breathing gradually became heavy.

He didn't expect that the effect of practicing this body refining method for the first time would be so dramatic.

At the same time, I also realized that the little bit I ate in the morning was not enough to maintain the circulation of Qi and blood in my body at this time.

So he quickly took out the blood-nourishing pill given by Chen Jingxin and swallowed it.

As the blood-nourishing pill fell into the vortex formed by the spleen and stomach's earth energy, the medicinal power exploded, and a burning sensation even stronger than before surged out.

At this moment, Xu Qing felt a tingling pain like needles pricking his whole body, making his body and mind seem to tremble involuntarily.

Just at this time.

The six Yin gods in his mind all glowed with spiritual brilliance, and the six beautiful and graceful jade goddesses instantly stabilized Xu Qing's wavering thoughts.

Then a cool and gentle breath emerged from the top of his head and went down, quickly eliminating the pain from the needle prick, but it did not affect the effect of tempering the body at all.

There was surprise in Xu Qing's eyes.

I didn't expect that the Liu Ding Yin Shen could play such a role.

Yang Liujia protects the body, Yin Liuding protects the soul
Xu Qing calmed down and practiced hard.

As time goes by, everything progresses step by step.

The Qi and blood in the body are obviously increasing little by little, and the body is becoming stronger and stronger.
