In the evening, in the dormitory.
Chen Yun gazed at the spotlessly bright moon outside the window and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Today, I accompanied Lin Chen down the mountain to drive away ghosts, and I gained a lot of things myself.
For example, 8.25 money gold, jade beads, armored horse symbols, and Zhongkui symbols.
On the whole, the harvest was abundant.
"If Brother Lin hadn't been expelled from the mountain, it would have been much better."
Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh.
Just as life must go on, he tucked away that little bit of regret in his heart and began to inspect the spoils.
The 8.25 money gold will have to be kept for buying medicine.
Chen Yun is probably aware of the functions of the armored horse symbols and Zhongkui symbols.
"The only thing about this white jade bead is, besides nurturing ghosts, what else is it useful for?"
Chen Yun picked up the white jade bead and couldn't really understand it.
This thing, when it is held in hand, will produce a cold stream that enters one's four limbs and body parts.
This cold current is just cool, not making one feel "chilly."
Moreover, the cold current spreading to the head will make one's mind clear.
Besides that, Chen Yun hasn't found other uses for it yet.
After studying for a while, he really couldn't find any other uses for it.
"Alright, let's wait and study it further later. First, let's practice for a while."
The white jade bead is somewhat like a hanging piece, with a silver drop hole on it.
Considering that he would need to study it after practicing, Chen Yun didn't hide the white jade bead in the small compartment of the bronze furnace but instead threaded a thin string through it and hung it around his neck.
After doing all these, he picked up the "Foundation Establishment" book and carefully looked at it.
After confirming that there were no problems, Chen Yun started to sit cross-legged.
There are still three or four days until the next time he takes the Foundation Establishment Soup.
He cannot depend solely on the Foundation Establishment Soup, so he tries to meditate whenever he has time.
"To be honest, this time Wang Laozhi secluded me in the cell, allowing me more time to direct the qi against the disease, I'm not sure whether it's a punishment or an award."
Thinking about it, Chen Yun pushed away all distractions.
He followed the scripture to start meditating.
Meditation includes steps of adjusting breathing, guarding emptiness, eliminating impurities, and washing face to complete the cultivation.
Chen Yun sat facing south with his legs crossed, his upper body straight, his hands placed flat on his knees. His entire body was relaxed, his lips slightly closed, his tongue pressing against the palate, his eyes gently shut, maintaining inner peace, focusing his mind on the dantian to achieve a state of tranquility.
Adjusting breathing to make it light, natural, and effortless.
Depending on the qi of his own cultivation to direct against the disease differs from taking the Foundation Establishment Soup.
Firstly, one must meditate to gather qi, also known as receiving qi.
After taking the Foundation Establishment Soup, the medicinal power will naturally receive qi.
Cultivation can rely solely on oneself.
Chen Yun had practiced meditation before without taking the Foundation Establishment Soup, and knew that it generally took about twenty minutes of focused, silent meditation to gather qi.
Simply put, one needs to sense the sweetness of the saliva produced in the mouth, then swallow it.
A mouthful of sweet saliva can generate one qi.
One must accumulate a certain amount of qi before they can begin to circulate it.
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry, focusing his whole body and mind on the dantian.
However, something strange happened today.
Chen Yun felt the gathering of qi as soon as he entered the meditation state.
"Hey, why am I already gathering qi so quickly? I haven't even produced sweet saliva yet."
His mind was startled, and he unconsciously stopped meditating. The qi gathered in his lower abdomen also dispersed.
Chen Yun felt somewhat puzzled.
After some pondering, he didn't think of anything, so he started meditating again.
This time, he concentrated more, trying to see if he could figure out why he could gather qi so quickly.
Surprisingly, he really did discover something.
When Chen Yun meditated, he felt the icy current released from the white jade bead hanging around his neck. Accompanied by the true qi generated from his movements, it descended one after another to his lower abdomen.
"It turns out to be the white jade bead!"
He didn't expect to discover a new function of the white jade bead unintentionally.
Chen Yun thought it over and knew why the white jade bead could help with practicing cultivation.
The white jade bead can nourish one's soul and essence, so there must be a certain amount of spiritual energy within it.
This was said by Zhang Qian before, ghosts cannot arise without reason, they must be nurtured by energy.
Chen Yun just hadn't thought that this kind of energy could help with sitting meditation and cultivation.
"As expected, it really is a precious treasure! Just like what I initially guessed!"
He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Since he had gathered qi, he could proceed to circulate it.
Circulating qi requires mental manipulation, so one must focus on the Dantian at this time.
Xuan Guan is located between the two eyebrows, referred to as "Ling Tai" in the Danjing, and also called "Fang Cun".
Chen Yun pinched the Zi Wu knot with his hands, meaning the thumb of his left hand pinched the tip of his left middle finger to form the "Wu" (midday) position, while his right thumb inserted into the web of his left hand and pressed on the root of his left fourth finger to form the "Zi" (midnight) position. The other four fingers encircled it outside, forming a double-palmed Zi Wu knot.
After pinching the Zi Wu knot, he placed his hands in front of his lower abdomen.
At this time, Chen Yun's heart was at peace, with no trace of impurities.
It might be because his mind was empty that he felt his long, slender breaths were endless.
Using mental focus, he controlled the qi to traverse the twelve meridians within the body.
The qi flowed endlessly through the meridians.
Soon, Chen Yun felt resistance to the qi at the Huiyin point on the Ren Mai meridian.
"I've taken two doses of Foundation Establishment Soup before, but none of the disease sites at the back and front meridians were opened. However, continuous attacks make the disease sites loose, I don't know if this cultivation can open these disease sites."
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
Chen Yun manipulated the qi to attempt an attack.
A joyful event happened.
The disease sites that were not opened by the two consecutive doses of Foundation Establishment Soup before were loosened by the qi manipulated by Chen Yun's will!
A numb and tingling sensation spread out.
Chen Yun exerted more effort to gather qi and attack.
One wave.
Three waves.
He continuously attacked for four to five waves.
In the next moment, it seems like he felt something was broken at the Huiyin position, and a comfortable feeling rose.
Finally, the disease site at the Huiyin point was broken through!
Chen Yun was overjoyed and checked the qi consumption slightly.
Although he only attacked four or five waves just now, in the usual case when practicing without the help of Foundation Establishment Soup, he should have consumed a lot of qi and could only open one or two more disease sites before needing to rest.
However, after Chen Yun slightly sensed the situation, he was amazed to find that the qi gathered in his lower abdomen was still so abundant.
The reason for this was all due to the continuous conversion of the coolness from the white jade bead during the meditation.
"Great treasure! Great treasure!"
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He worked even harder with the flow of his qi.
In the next moment, another stream of qi encountered an obstacle on the Du Meridian.
This time it was near the Shuangxi Guan (Du 28).
A sharp pain emerged from behind.
Chen Yun endured the pain and continued to manipulate the qi to attack the disease sites.
Three waves.
Five waves.
He had to continuously attack for ten or more waves before opening the disease site.
Feeling the comfort from behind, Chen Yun's mood improved even more.
He was almost completely immersed in it.
An hour.
Three hours.
It's hard to say how much time had passed.
Only when Chen Yun felt an overwhelming fatigue did he stop.
"With the help of the white jade bead, qi is indeed flowing continuously, but continuous attacks on disease sites have made my body hard to bear. I'll rest for a while and then continue attacking the disease sites when my body recovers."
Chen Yun stopped the flow of qi.
However, the cultivation isn't over yet.
Next, he needs to retreat the symbols and expel the negative qi.
That is to say, he needs to expel the toxins and impurities from the body that were pushed open by the disease sites.
This step is also known as "purifying the body with will".
Chen Yun straightened his legs and spread his hands apart, placing them on the left and right knees respectively, palms facing up, tongue tip down, and mouth open. His eyes were wide open, looking at the tips of his toes.
He focused on the Yuquan points (Kidney 1) of both feet, imagining that all the disease qi, turbid qi, yin qi, and toxic qi in his body were continuously flowing out through the Yuquan points.
Gradually, Chen Yun felt his intestines contract, involuntarily "P-P-P" farting several times in succession.
A stench spread throughout the room.
At the same time, some sweat appeared on Chen Yun's pores.
These beads of sweat were slightly black, indicating that the disease qi, turbid qi, yin qi, and toxic qi had been expelled from the body.
This continued for about ten minutes.
Chen Yun felt that his mind and body were light and happy, indicating that the purification was complete.
It was time for the final consolidation phase.
This step is called "Immortal Washing the Face."
After dispersing his thoughts, Chen Yun retracted his legs and sat in a meditative position.
Hmm, it's not necessary to retract them. It's just that he got used to it.
After sitting in the meditation position, Chen Yun rubbed the palms of his hands together to warm them up, then used both palms to massage his face from top to bottom.
After massaging the face, he needs to point at the acupoints.
Chen Yun first used his index finger to comb the head from back to top, stimulating various acupoints on the head. That is, his thumb started from "Fengchi point" and went all the way up to the "Baihui point" on the top of his head.
Once.
Five times.
He performed the procedure for thirty-six times.
Chen Yun then slowly concluded the practice.
He looked out the window and saw that the moon was already setting in the west.
It's obvious that he had practiced for several hours.
Of course, he had made considerable progress.
"Today's practice, I probably broke through half a disease site again, and if I can continue like this, by the end of three to four days when I take the Foundation Establishment Soup, I should be able to establish my foundation."
At the thought of the impending completion of his foundation establishment, Chen Yun's emotions couldn't help but surge.
As long as the completion of the Hundred Day Establishment establishes my foundation, I can then find Wang Zaixi to learn the "Grain Cultivation and Essence Transformation" method.
Before the completion of the Hundred Day Foundation Establishment, Chen Yun already felt much better physically.
He was really curious to know how strong and robust his body would become with the enhanced physique from the "Grain Cultivation and Essence Transformation" method.
