Chapter 146 145. Top Quality Yellow Talisman (4k)

into the night.

Dark clouds rolled in, heavy rain fell, and it was another starless and moonless day.

Xu Qing's mind slowly immersed itself into the middle dantian.
That wisp of ancestral qi still floats there quietly.

There were ten lifelike, roaring phantoms of ferocious beasts around.

A thought in my mind,
Ten phantoms of small ferocious beasts appeared on Xu Qing's palm.

The ten phantoms of ferocious beasts seemed to have consciousness, and they bared their fangs and claws at Xu Qing. Among them, Zhu Yan was the most ferocious.

Xu Qing smiled slightly.

With his right hand, he made a seal.

This seal formula naturally flowed into his mind when he defeated the ten ferocious beasts.

As the seal was performed, the shadows of the ten ferocious beasts quickly merged together and turned into a wisp of gray, seemingly inconspicuous aura.

But as long as the mind touches this breath,
All kinds of fighting, shouting, and the boiling sounds instantly rushed into Xu Qing's mind. Pictures of people killing people, monsters eating people, and people killing monsters, similar but completely different scenes, flashed through his mind one by one.

If Xu Qing did not have the Six Ding Gods to stabilize his soul, his soul would probably have suffered some damage under the impact of such a scene of bloodshed.

Chilang, Zhuyan, Buhuagu and so on are all disaster beasts. Once they appear in the world, they will cause various disasters. Among them, war is the most common and frequent.

Fighting and struggling have been the eternal accompaniment since the birth of life.

"This is the Jiesha." Xu Qing looked at the gray aura in his hand, "One of the top Yinsha!"

"If it is melted into the ancestral qi, it can make the cultivator's own qi have a trace of the breath of disaster."

Previously, when the female ghost in the Embroidery Tower tempted Xu Qing to practice dual cultivation, she mentioned this aura of disaster.

At that time, he would definitely not agree to the request of the female ghost in the Embroidery Tower, but in fact, he was very jealous of the aura of disaster.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events.
Unexpectedly, he felt a completely different aura of disaster in the martial arts arena.

When it comes to the Qi Refining stage, there may be a huge difference in strength between practitioners. This is related to the quality of the Five Elements and Five Qi as well as the Yang Gang and Yin Sha that the practitioners have melted.

Xu Qing gathered this ray of evil spirit back into his middle dantian.

At present, he has no use for this ray of calamity, so he can only nurture it in his dantian.

Keep away the evil spirits,

Xu Qing closed his eyes tightly.

Listen to the rumbling thunder outside the window, calm your mind and focus on the Yuan.

The shape of a large tripod gradually took shape in my mind.

Breathe in and out,
Two air dragons rose from the mouth and nose.

The furnace is set up upright, wind blows into the fire, and the river wheel turns.

With long and slow breaths, the wisp of ancestral energy in the middle dantian slowly crossed out of the Huangting and turned into a dragon floating downstream.

Flowing all the way into the lower Dantian Qihai,

He swallowed down the newly condensed essence from his blood and qi.

After the essence entered the dragon's stomach, it grew slightly bigger and its body became more solid.

then,

Just like a dragon walking on a river, it begins to control the water in the "water veins" of the human body.

It passes through the coccyx gate and enters the governor vessel, then through the governor vessel into the Jiaji gate, then through the Yuzhen gate, and directly reaches the Niwan Palace. Finally, from Niwan, it passes the Magpie Bridge, through the Ren meridian, and re-enters the Zhongdantian Huangting.

In the process,
Threads of warm current flowed from all parts of the body, merging into the Qi-transformed dragon like rivers flowing into the sea, making the body increasingly stronger and more solid.

This circulation continues endlessly.

Wandering in circles, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen the Qi in the human body.

What Xu Qing was practicing at this time was the breathing method in "The Illustrated Record of the Imperial Order of the Six Ding and Six Jia". It is also called the breathing method or the Qi refining method.

Qi Refining Level 1,
The full name is "refining essence into Qi", which is to strengthen the original essence of the human body into original Qi.

However, relying solely on the human body's essence is actually a drop in the bucket, and it takes a lot of time and effort. Without the help of elixirs, it often takes a month and a half to condense a trace of Yuan Qi.

Later, generations of Taoist masters continued to study and innovate, and finally they set their sights on the natural world.

The human body can be compared to the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth are also another kind of human body.

The essence of the human body is limited, but the essence of heaven and earth is infinite.

As the saying goes, "What Heaven has given me, I can take its energy, and when the energy is abundant, I will be able to live."

To absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth into one's own body is to use the power of heaven and earth to climb higher. This is the key to practicing Qi Refining Realm.

The innate primordial qi is formed through breathing.

Use the breath of heaven and earth to nourish the innate primordial qi.

Xu Qing was neither anxious nor impatient, and he inhaled and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth regularly through his mouth and nose. The dragon transformed by the primordial energy in his body was like a glutton.
He accepted all that came his way and swallowed up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his stomach mouthful by mouthful.

at the same time,

Xu Qing could still feel,

The medicinal power of the "Sun, Moon and Star Three Stars Treasure Pill" was not completely consumed when he broke through the realm, but a small part of it was deposited in his body and soul.

The sunlight transformed into a large sun that sank into the lower Dantian Qi Sea. The light it emitted soaked into his limbs and bones, constantly nourishing his body.

He was able to recover his Qi and blood, condense his essence and temper his primordial energy in just one afternoon, all thanks to these rays of sunlight;

The moonlight fell into the Niwan in the upper dantian, shining brightly, making him clear-headed and conscious.

The starlight will then transform into the 365 major acupoints in the body. When the Qi turns into a dragon and travels through the meridians, the starlight will be integrated into the dragon's body along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Before you know it,
The night passed quietly and Xu Qing did not sleep all night.

But I didn't feel tired at all, instead I felt full of energy.

Especially during the entire cultivation process, he initially tried to consciously control the movement of the Qi-transformed dragon, but later he let the true Qi move on its own.

Therefore, even the mental and spiritual consumption is greatly reduced.

Xu Qing stood up and stretched his muscles, then opened the window. It had rained heavily all night, and it finally stopped when the roosters crowed at dawn.

The clouds have disappeared and the rain has stopped, the weather is sunny and breezy.

The morning breeze swirled through the courtyard, and the abundant water vapor, with a barely detectable smell of earth and the fragrance of grass, hit Xu Qing's face.

A chill spread across the face, as if one had washed the face with cold water, and one couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"If the rain continues like this, when the flood peak arrives, I don't know how big a flood it will cause, and that old dragon..."

Xu Qing turned his head to look in the direction of Hongze Lake, and thought of his master who was suppressing the seal of the ancient Huai Huoshui Lord. His eyes were deep and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a short moment, he shook his head and threw all the thoughts out of his mind.

There is no use thinking so much. Just do your own job well and the rest will be taken care of by the "tall guys" naturally.

If the "tall guy" is unreliable,

He would not get involved in such a disaster, so he immediately packed up his belongings and ran away with his family.

Fortunately, the top cultivators of the Great Sheng Dynasty and the uncle-master of Yuanfu Temple are reliable enough, so Xu Qing only needs to follow their footsteps.

Put aside other distracting thoughts.
Xu Qing calmed down and felt the effect of last night's whole night of breathing exercises.

The wisp of Yuan Qi lingering in the middle Dantian has obviously grown a lot larger. If it was as thick as a hair before, it is now as thick as chopsticks.

But this has a lot to do with the scarcity of Yuan Qi itself. Just like adding another cup of water to a cup of water, the increase is naturally more visible.
But if you add a cup of water to a river, you won't see any change at all.

"Even with the power of the precious elixir and the Six Dings and Six Jias, the efficiency of mouth-nasal breathing is still too slow. If I can reach the level of fetal breathing, the time to reach the peak of the first level will be shortened by more than half."

There are three levels of breathing techniques: nasal breathing, held breath, and fetal breathing.

The lowest of these is nasal breathing, which involves breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through the mouth and nose;

The second is breath holding, which focuses on stopping the breath between breaths, aiming to allow the internal Qi to be filled and unobstructed, so that the organs and chest are protected by the clear Qi.

The best is fetal breathing.
When a person is first born, inside the womb, he or she breathes through the umbilical cord from the mother, not through the mouth or nose. Instead, the Ren and Du meridians are connected without any barrier. This is called fetal breathing.

It can also be called Dantian breathing.

Xu Qing is now practicing the breathing method, so naturally he is at the "nasal breathing" level. However, when he opened up the nasal cavity corresponding to the lungs last time,
He entered the state of fetal breathing by accident.

All the pores on the body are opened, with Dantian as the fundamental point to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

With the experience from last time, maybe I can enter the fetal breathing state from now on.

If he could use the fetal breathing method, Xu Qing was confident that he could reach the peak of the first level of Qi Refining within three to six months.

Then, you can take advantage of the situation and melt it into one of the five elements of heaven and earth, and your cultivation will be taken to a higher level.

Unfortunately, this idea is destined not to be so easy to accomplish.

Think about this.

Xu Qing rubbed his brows and lowered his eyes to think:

"The higher the realm, the less time I feel. I have the Six Dings and Six Jias, so I don't need to study those rituals. Even then I still feel that time is not enough."

"No wonder the growth of cultivation is measured in years at the Qi Refining Stage."

"I wonder if there is a shortcut to quickly reach this state of fetal breathing."

This thought suddenly came to Xu Qing's mind, and he was immediately touched.

Such impatient thoughts would only make it more difficult for him to reach the state of fetal breathing.

Fortunately, the Six Ding Gods emitted a hint of cool air at this time, which allowed him to calm down quickly and look inward and adjust his mentality in time.

Only by moving steadily can you go far.

There are shortcuts on the road of cultivation, but most of them are unorthodox paths. To act in a dignified and steady manner and to be upright is the path that an authentic disciple of the Xuanmen should take.

Since his cultivation level cannot be improved rapidly in a short period of time, Xu Qing decided to focus most of his energy on talismans and spells.

Breakthrough the Qi Refining Realm,
In addition to the changes in the natal guardian deity, there will also be earth-shaking changes in the art of talismans, and Taoist spells can also be formally practiced.

Xu Qing took out the talisman pen, talisman ink and talisman paper from the Hu Tian Fu.

Spread them one by one on the table.

The Yuanfu Guan talismans are divided into five levels: yellow, blue, purple, silver and gold, which correspond to the five major realms of refining Qi, refining the spirit, returning to the void, merging with the Dao and Mahayana, as well as the five-level talismans.

so,

The Qi Refining Realm is the threshold for being able to draw yellow talismans.

As the saying goes, "If you want to refine the talisman, you must first refine your Qi, use the Qi to control the talisman, and use the talisman to nourish the Qi."

Before, even with the help of the power of the Six Dings and Six Jias, Xu Qing could only draw mid-level talismans, and no matter how much effort he put in, he gained nothing.

Calm down your mind,

Xu Qing picked up the talisman pen, dipped it in the talisman ink, and then a trace of true energy came out from his dantian and lingered on the tip of the pen.

The pen falls and steps on the head of the talisman.

One stroke of the pen moves the world.

Second stroke of the ancestor sword,
Three strokes and the evil spirit will be driven away thousands of miles away.

Then he stepped on the steps and wrote with a flourish of dragon and snake.
The talisman belly, talisman core and talisman foot flowed out from the tip of the pen one by one.

As the pen fell, twelve phantoms of Xu Qing's guardian gods appeared behind him, representing the altar and guiding the divine aura of the righteous gods flowing between heaven and earth to bless the talisman paper.

In no time.

A series of strokes emitting a faint spiritual glow intertwined and coiled to form a complete talisman.

This time, the spiritual light on the talisman was obviously more full and harmonious than the various talismans drawn by Xu Qing before, and the aura it exuded was also richer.

Xu Qing picked up the talisman and checked its grade.

The best yellow talisman - the Six Ding and Six Jia amulet!
Talismans are divided into three grades: high, medium and low. However, there is a top grade above the third grade, which can only be drawn by disciples of the talisman school who have been granted the corresponding talisman.

For example, the treasure appraisal talisman,
This talisman in Xu Qing's hands can only be of the highest quality.
But in the hands of Brother Wen Xi, who taught him the "Nine Heavenly Soldiers Talisman", it can reach the highest level.

This is the difference between the natal talisman of the disciples of the talisman school and ordinary talismans.

Although Xu Qing has not yet been ordained, he has the Six Dings and Six Jias on him, and the Six Dings and Six Jias amulet is one of his natal talismans.

Subsequently,

Xu Qing picked up the pen and drew three "No Entry Without Permission Talismans".

This talisman is not one of Xu Qing's natal talismans, but the characteristic of this talisman is that it absorbs the charm of certain gods and spirits and acts as a "door god" on the talisman.
The divine aura of the Six Dings and Six Jias that he could capture was far beyond the reach of other talisman sect disciples or even elders.

Therefore, these three "No Entry" talismans unexpectedly reached the level of top-grade yellow talismans.

Xu Qing planned to keep these three "No Entry" talismans for use at home, and stick them on the front door, the back door, and the door leading to the inner house.

This amulet is pasted on the door.

Without the owner's permission, anyone who dares to trespass will be immediately activated by the Six Dings and Six Jias on the talisman, who will transform into military generals and expel them.

With this talisman, as long as the Xu family is vigilant, it will be impossible for cultivators at the Qi Refining stage or below to break into the Xu Mansion. Even cultivators at the Fourth Stage can stop them.

"I have drawn four top-grade talismans in a row. There is some consumption, but it is not like the previous Refining Essence Realm, where one talisman consumes a full layer of human essence."

Xu Qing carefully felt the consumption of his Yuan Qi.

The wisp of Qi in Dantian may seem to be only a tiny wisp, but in fact it is transformed from the essence of the whole body. It is light in form but heavy in quality, and contains everything.

"Just this strand of chopstick-thickness can allow me to draw at least ten top-grade talismans. When the strand of chopstick-thickness turns into a flowing river, I wonder what kind of scenery it will be?"

Xu Qing put away the four talismans.

As soon as he thought of it, many shining words appeared in his mind one by one, forming a book of exercises. In addition to the methods of practice, the book also recorded a large number of magic symbols.

The magic talismans that Xu Qing currently possesses are:

The hairspring traction symbol is mainly used for restraint;
The Liu Ding Liu Jia amulet is mainly for protection;
The Qi-healing Talisman and the Poison-removing Talisman are mainly used for healing and removing poison;

Finally, there are Liujia Chilei Fu and Liuding Chihuo Fu, which are mainly used for attack.

After one set, it has both offense and defense, as well as containment and healing, but it is still missing something.

The skills in Xu Qing's mind flipped, and a series of magic talismans passed by.

Tianmu Talisman, Helmet Talisman, Divine Armor Horse Talisman, Immortal Guidance Talisman, First Sight Talisman, Mighty King Sword Talisman, Tiangang Fighting Qi Talisman, Emperor Life-saving Talisman
Xu Qing's eyes fell on the magic armor horse talisman.
This talisman can be used to increase speed, and it is a talisman that he must master next.

in addition,

As long as it does not affect daily practice, the more numbers and types of talismans there are, the better.

Xu Qing never went out of the front door or the second door.

He stayed in his own courtyard and studied various talismans and spells.

It was not until three days later that the temple finally sent someone over to inform that the time for ordination had arrived.
