Night, Sub-hour, Bedroom.
Chen Yun, who has drunk the refined essence and spiritual energy soup, is waiting quietly for the birth of its medicinal power.
A moment later, he felt a warm current flowing towards his spleen from his abdomen.
Immediately, a large amount of spiritual energy was released.
The spiritual energy that was expelled was too much for him to handle, he could feel that it was almost equivalent to taking the individual dose of Zhu Yu Cao.
"This refined essence and spiritual energy soup only contains two plants of Zhu Yu, and its effectiveness is said to last a month. Now, the first burst of spiritual energy is equivalent to taking one plant of Zhu Yu? That's too strong, isn't it!"
Chen Yun couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Of course, to this day, he has not seen the surprise he wants to see.
For example, how does the Refining Essence into Qi Soup "fully automatically" refine essence into qi.
While he was thinking, the spiritual energy expelled from the spleen began to move around in his body.
"It's coming!"
Chen Yun gathered his spirit, focusing intently on sensing how the spiritual energy automatically transformed into true qi.
Almost identical to the "Descending Dan Method" he had pondered himself, the spiritual energy was divided into two, emanating from both the left and right solar meridians, then surging upwards to the root of his wisdom teeth, flowing through his temple, and entering the palace of the liver.
It's almost no different from his own cultivation technique at this point.
Chen Yun was rather puzzled as he said, "Is it that the Refining Essence into Qi Soup is supposed to refine essence into qi in this way, or because I have practiced the 'Descending Dan Method,' it automatically follows the meridian pathways of that method?"
Just as he was thinking, something different arrived.
When Chen Yun felt the qi flowing into the mud marrow palace and into his brain at the back of his head, and gradually descending through twelve floors, over the spine, through the tailbone to the top into his heart, he finally understood his long-standing doubts!
He felt that theQi, after entering the heart, quickly permeated through the gallbladder.
Suddenly, Chen Yun's mouth felt slightly bitter, and a mouthful of golden and jade liquid was born, turning into dew.
After swallowing it, he felt warm in his chest.
Then, as the true qi descended, Chen Yun 'felt' his body gradually expand, his spirit soaring, and the sun, moon, rivers, and mountains all within him. He had a sense of towering above the heavens and touching the earth, with no awareness of where his hands and feet were located.
Just as he was thinking to himself that he should reach out and touch the same spot as before.
Suddenly, Chen Yun felt that his 'soul' had mysteriously left his body.
This time, the spirit that had left was not a shadowy spirit.
It was a kind of spirit that he couldn't understand.
Before, he could not feel this spirit at all.
But since he began to cultivate the shadowy spirit, his spiritual power has greatly increased, and this time he was able to clearly feel it.
This feeling only lasted for a moment.
The next second, the spirit returned to his body.
As usual, Chen Yun "saw" a mass of brightness in his heart, round and bright, suddenly falling.
For a moment, a vast amount of true qi swirled around, then rested in the dantian.
Chen Yun suddenly opened his eyes, "I understand! I finally understand why the refining of essence into qi has been on and off before! It turns out that it is used to adjust with the true water of the gallbladder!"
He recalled how, when he had created the cultivation technique, his master had not only revised the title but also written the characters "Mr." in an awkward, crooked style that resembled a fallen pear or a gallbladder. At the time, he had found it strange.
At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood his teacher's good intentions, "I see, my teacher has been warning me about the problems with the cultivation technique all along. I just haven't realized it."
Write down this insight later.
With the Refining Essence into Qi Soup currently exerting its effect, Chen Yun had no time to write about the cultivation technique.
He continued to focus on the true qi formed by the medicinal power within his body.
Time passed one second after another.
A small circulation of the cycle.
Three small circuits of the cycle.
Nine small circuits of the cycle.
In the span of one Sub-hour, the medicinal power had only traversed nine small circuits of the cycle.
However, the amount of true qi that had been born was enormous and unbelievable!
Chen Yun was incredulous as he felt the increased amount of true qi within his body.
"In just one Sub-hour, I've gained as much true qi as I would from a month of practicing with the Condensing Qi Pearl!"
If the consumption of Zhu Yu Cao did not waste any medicinal power, then it could also save a month's cultivation time.
However, there will definitely be some waste when taking Zhu Yu Cao, especially during the spraying of essence.
Therefore, each time Zhu Yu Cao is taken, it is only equivalent to practicing with the Condensing Qi Pearl for about twenty days.
However, Refining Essence into Qi Soup is different. During its operation, there is no waste at all, and all the essence is turned into true qi.
"Although the Refining Essence into Qi Soup is no longer exerting its medicinal power at this moment, I can feel that there is still a lot of medicinal power within my body. However, I don't know why it no longer actively releases essence."
Chen Yun felt a bit puzzled, "Could it be that the Refining Essence into Qi Soup is like Zhu Yu Cao, not actively refining and releasing a fixed amount of medicinal power every day for a month without prompting?"
Chen Yun felt that it was very likely like this.
The likely reason for this is that the Zhu Yu Cao in the Refining Essence into Qi Soup had its effect.
Zhu Yu Cao limits the instant release of all the medicinal power in the Spiritual Elixir.
Why limit the complete explosion of medicinal power?
The reason is very simple: the effectiveness of one day is equivalent to a month.
If all the medicinal power were to be released in thirty days, it would be almost equivalent to thirty months of hard cultivation!
The tremendous medicinal power bursting out would be beyond the body's endurance.
"The person who invented this elixir is a genius. No, he is absolutely a great master without precedence or successor, dazzling all ancient and modern times!"
Chen Yun really couldn't understand. Such an incredible elixir, who could it have been that this great master researched?
There was another strange point. The Internal Dan Sect originated from Zhong Liju, and currently, the highest cultivation of Internal Dan realm is none other than Zhong Liju and Lü Dunbin.
If that's the case, why are there so many Internal Dan Sect cultivation terms on the little bronze cauldron?
The medicinal power is also based on Internal Dan cultivation.
He felt very confused.
Chen Yun thought to himself, "Could it be that this little bronze cauldron was forged by Zhong Liju, and he mistakenly thought he had been reincarnated as a friend's descendant, so that's why Master Wang appeared in the teeth trader's market of the third master and gradually guided him into the path?"
If that's not the case, it seems there's no other explanation.
But when he thought about it, something was wrong. Zhong Liju or Lü Dunbin, even though their cultivation realm was extremely high, had not yet reached the stage of Great Dao. How could they have created an elixir that can turn one into a Great Dao Fairy when consumed?
"It's really hard to figure out. Never mind, let's not think about these things for now."
Chen Yun calculated that based on the current progress, perhaps he could become a lower level cultivator without a year by taking the Refining Essence into Qi Soup.
After all, the true qi born overnight is equivalent to the hard work of practicing with the Condensing Qi Pearl for a month.
If we calculate that ten years of cultivation would lead to becoming a lower level cultivator, and subtract the fact that he had already reached the middle stage of an eighth-grade cultivator.
Chen Yun felt that it might take three to four times taking the Refining Essence into Qi Soup for him to reach the level of a lower level cultivator.
"Three to four months later, I will be able to reach the level of a lower level cultivator. The Refining Essence into Qi Soup is truly incredible!"
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.
Chen Yun secretly rejoiced for a short while, then gradually calmed down his emotions.
"Let's first perfect the cultivation technique."
Just as he had gained some cultivation insights, he was afraid he might forget them upon waking up, so he hurriedly came to the desk, picked up paper and pen, and was about to start writing directly.
"Ahem, isn't it a bit too common to write directly like that? Everyone else's cultivation techniques are so profound and mysterious!"
As he was pondering, Chen Yun suddenly saw a book beside him, the "Miscellaneous Records of Le Fu," which was open at the page for "Xie Qiutang."
"Xie Qiutang" may not be well-known to some people, but its later renamed tune name may be familiar to many.
Yes, it is "Yi Jiangnan," also known as "Wang Jiangnan," "Meng You Xian," "Wang Penglai," and so on.
"Yes, I can borrow the title of the 'Wang Jiangnan' tune and write a word to describe the cultivation."
He first wrote the internal energy song on it:
The internal energy work is like a precious pearl, penetrating the spiritual body through the mountains and rivers and the universe.
The red lotus leaves conceal the nest of the Dan, and the red water flows through nine parts, distinct and peculiar.
Later, Chen Yun did not hesitate and wrote another verse of cultivation poetry under the internal energy song:
《Wang Jiangnan》
Mid yellow treasure, must be sought within the gallbladder. Spring Emperor's command brings forth all things, under the heavens and earth, with me as my peer. All meridians naturally open and flow.
Bestowing creativity, manipulating fire and double drawing. The vast Qi fills the universe, while the bitter smoke rises to the surrounding towers. Couples gradually pursue each other.
A simple "Wang Jiangnan," in fact, contains profound internal energy cultivation ways.
Most people might not understand it, and Chen Yun nodded contentedly, "This way, unless someone is quite adept at the internal energy path, they can't understand the cultivation method. Even if my method falls into someone else's hands, the secret will not easily be leaked."
After thinking for a while, he finally added the explanations for each line of the poem on another piece of paper.
Very soon, the incantation and interpretations were all written down.
Chen Yun put the complete cultivation technique into the little bronze cauldron.
This is the core method of his own, and it cannot be disclosed easily to others.
As for the "Wang Jiangnan," if it were to be lost, and someone could understand the Dao of internal energy from it, it could be said that they had a connection with Dao.
After writing it, he went to bed early.
......
Subsequently for a few days.
Chen Yun practiced the Five Elements Fist every day, read Daoist texts, medical arts, and various classics during the day, and at night, he constantly refined his true qi with the help of the Refining Essence into Qi Soup.
This day, perhaps due to excessive focus, Chen Yun was completely unaware of Zhong Liju's return.
He was bowing his head to read "Liezi."
Suddenly, a faintly surprised voice of Zhong Liju came to his ear, "Chongyong, I haven't seen you for over a month, and you have seemingly approached the late stage of the eighth grade?"
Hearing the voice, Chen Yun quickly stood up and paid a respectful bow, "Disciple Chongyong greets Master. Report to Master, these days I have cultivated my true qi rapidly with external assistance and have come close to the late stage of the eighth grade."
Zhong Liju said that a month had passed, but in fact, he had been secretly guarding since Chen Yun left, and naturally knew that Chen Yun had progressed from a ninth-level cultivator to an eighth-level cultivator.
The reason why he felt slightly surprised was that the actual days they didn't see each other were only about a dozen days.
To go from just entering the middle stage of an eighth-grade cultivator to almost reaching the late stage in just a dozen days?
If this pace continues, it might only take two or three months to reach the level of a seventh-grade cultivator.
Feeling surprised was still surprising, but Zhong Liju still reminded him, "It's easy to enhance power, but you must also try to keep up with your heart state. Otherwise, having power without heart state will definitely cause problems in the future."
Chen Yun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master for your guidance."
Zhong Liju was very satisfied with his attitude and smiled, nodding and said, "Based on your current appearance, you will be able to become a lower level cultivator in no time. I previously promised you that when you reach the level of a lower level cultivator, I will teach you some good techniques. What kind of techniques do you particularly like?"
Chen Yun didn't expect that his master would bring up this matter proactively. He was secretly delighted in his heart and replied immediately, "The disciple prefers techniques that can protect him."
Hm, in his mind, preserving his life has always been the top priority.
Zhong Liju smiled and said, "You're not like Laozhi, Wen Shu, and the others who want to learn powerful techniques. Alright, since you want to learn some martial arts for protection, I'll give you an impressive life-saving technique and teach you a few other good techniques. Go on with your cultivation. I'll go prepare the techniques for you. When you reach the level of a seventh-level cultivator, you can learn them immediately."
Fuck!
Master said he would pass on a powerful life-saving technique?
You know, before, Master always said he would only pass on a few good techniques. Now that he uses the word "powerful," you can imagine how powerful that technique is.
Chen Yun could not help but be full of anticipation, eager to cultivate to the level of a lower level cultivator and know what technique his master would describe as "powerful," even surpassing the great deities who shattered the void.
