Volume 1 Fortunately, I met the immortal who first enlightened me, and then went to Xiangyan to seek the true Dharma. Chapter 2: The Method of Eating Qi to Clear the Sky
Miaoyou Sect is one of the nine major immortal sects in Hanxia, located in Jiujiang Prefecture, Yangzhou. It is said to have seven veins and twelve peaks.
Songtao Peak is one of the five peaks of the outer sect. There are many sacred pines in the mountain. It is the place where the sect adopts male orphans for cultivation. The inner mind is clear and full of vitality, which is the most suitable place for beginners to practice. Several sacred places in the mountain are comparable to the caves specially opened up by the seven peaks of the inner sect.
Mi Luo was rolled up to Tingtaotai by Yun Changkong. This place is the place with the most spiritual energy in Songtao Peak, and it is also the place where Yun Changkong usually practices.
Looking down, the whole mountain is surrounded by mist, with swaying pines faintly visible. When the mountain breeze blows, thousands of pines dance and tens of thousands of trees sway gently, making bursts of rustling sounds, and the branches and leaves rise and fall like green waves. It feels as if you are in the sky and at the seaside.
When Mi Luo came back to his senses, Yun Changkong pointed at a pine tree and said, "Just sit there and don't move."
After taking a closer look, Miro discovered that the pine tree was the one he had planted on the mountainside.
Most of the disciples on Songtao Peak are orphans adopted by the sect. They grew up in the mountains and entered Taoism at the age of six. They were then required to plant a sacred pine tree in the sacred land opened up on Songtao Peak.
This spiritual pine is a spiritual species specially cultivated by the sect. Similar to most pine trees that can mature into timber in ten to twenty years, it will begin to show spiritual energy in about ten years and can be used as a spiritual material to refine magical instruments.
After opening his meridians, Miro needs to use his own internal energy to nourish the spiritual pine in addition to studying. He can be considered a spiritual tree that is compatible with the disciple's aura.
For outer disciples, if they have not established their foundation by the age of thirty, the sect will ask them to cut down some spiritual pines, use the pines as materials, and refine two or three magical instruments to serve as protective gear for the outer disciples in the future.
This is also a major characteristic of the disciples of Songtao Peak of Miaoyou Sect.
Those who have successfully built their foundation before the age of thirty can enter the inner gate, and the pine wood can be refined into magical instruments according to their own needs, or transplanted to the side of their own cave.
Now , the role of the spiritual wood is a great proof of what Miro has learned on Songtao Peak over the past ten years.
As the three jade talismans in Yun Changkong's hand absorbed the aura of Miro and Songmu in turn, Yun Changkong asked him to sit next to him.
"The basic information has been recorded. Once you register, you will be a formal inner sect disciple. Of course, you must build your foundation before the age of 20 and be a reserve disciple. According to the sect's rules, you can choose a subordinate technique derived from the sect's fundamental law. What do you think?"
"Master, do you have any suggestions?"
Although Miro had practiced in the mountains for more than ten years and collected a lot of information, he still chose to answer like this when faced with Yun Changkong's question.
"My advice?"
Yun Changkong laughed and casually took out a jade bamboo slip and said, "I happen to have a spiritual appraisal slip in my hand, so I'll give it to you."
The bamboo slips floated into the air and slowly unfolded, dropping a ray of spiritual light that fell on Miro, and various colors of spiritual light emerged.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple , black and white , the colors first intertwined, then formed layers, and after a while, the strong and weak colors became clear.
Among them, the clear light is the strongest, followed by white, green, black, red and yellow. Under the six kinds of light, there are many mixed colors, which appear a little uneven, but the overall feeling gives people a very harmonious feeling.
"As expected, as a Zhuanzhou Dao body, you are most suitable for practicing the method that focuses on the Qing Qi of the sky and encompasses everything."
"Turning Boat Dao Body?"
Miro was a little curious. He had seen the name of Daoti in the sect's books.
It refers to being born with a certain principle of Tao, or having a body that is naturally in tune with a certain concept, making it more suitable for practicing a certain technique.
To put it simply, most people gradually conform to certain principles and laws through practice, and then master the corresponding concepts.
The Tao body is the opposite. They first have a certain concept, and then look for the corresponding method to practice, and then they are in line with the Tao principles and develop the concepts they have.
The book also lists some common Taoist bodies, such as Guanghan, Dahuo, Changchun, Taibai, Zhenyue, etc., but there is no word "zhuanzhou".
"The so-called turning the boat comes from the Book of Transformation. It refers to mastering the key to lifting the heaven and earth, understanding the location of yin and yang, and peeking into the place where the spirit hides. It can control one's own life and control the destiny. It can turn the heaven and earth upside down. It is a very comprehensive Tao body. However, if there is not enough mental cultivation to control it, the so-called turning the boat is nothing more than a talent to expand the scope of influence of one's own magic and supernatural powers. It is of no benefit to cultivation."
Yun Changkong explained, took out three jade slips from his sleeve, and said: "Based on your physique, I personally recommend that you choose one of the following to practice: Tianqing Liuqigong, Taixu Guantianjian, and Qiankun Erxiang Baguajing. Of course, if you can't make up your mind, you can also choose Xiantian Yiqi Qingjingjing, and when you make up your mind in the future, go to Xuantai Peak to find a new method."
Upon hearing this, Miro carefully read the introductions of the four techniques.
"The Sutra of the Pure and Tranquil Innate Qi" is the foundation of the Miaoyou Sect's fundamental method, "The Golden Palace Supreme Miaoyou Immortal Sutra". It combines the idea that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. It is a method of practice that is based on the foundation of all things.
Theoretically speaking, when practicing this method, as long as one keeps the mind empty and quiet, adheres to tranquility, and returns to the natural tranquil state, one can evolve all Qi with one Qi and simulate all the magical powers and techniques in the world.
It is very famous within the Miaoyou Sect. It is said that the inner disciples have more or less practiced some chapters of the "Pure Sutra".
"The Book of the Eight Trigrams of the Two Phases of Qian and Kun" is a fundamental method that combines the wonders of Qian and Kun and the Eight Trigrams. It practices the two phases of Qian and Kun internally and evolves the myriad phenomena of the Eight Trigrams externally. It is considered to be the inner sect of Miaoyou Sect that involves the most magic and supernatural powers.
"Taixu Guantianjian" is quite special. It tends to focus on the cultivation of the mind and emphasizes viewing the mind as a mirror, reflecting the universe. It is very good at exploring the truth, illusion, tracking, hiding, etc.
As for the last "Tianqing Six Qigong"...
Mi Luo looked at Yun Changkong and asked curiously, "Uncle Master, is there still the Breath Eating Method?"
"Qi-refining is also one of the orthodox ways of the immortals. Although my Miaoyou Sect was established not long ago, only three thousand years ago, its heritage is very long and can be traced back to ten thousand years ago. Naturally, the Qi-eating method has been passed down."
Yun Changkong said with some emotion: "Speaking of which, if this "Tianqing Six Qigong" was not a bit complicated and difficult to split, it might be more famous than "Xiantian Yiqi Qingjing Jing". If you don't mind the trouble, it is the most suitable method for you."
'Is this a bit troublesome? The old Yin Qi and the morning sun Qi before and after sunrise, the Zhengyang Jinwu Qi before three quarters of noon, the sunset red and yellow Qi and the Shaoyin Feiquan Qi when the sun sets and the moon rises, plus the Taiyin Guanghan Qi when the moon is at the zenith. The daily practice method alone must change according to the changes in the weather, inhaling and exhaling six kinds of Tianqing Qi, and then adjusting the direction of the Qigong according to the changes in the four seasons.'
'It is the middle of summer when we need to gather our energy and find a quiet room to sit cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the energy of the earth and harmonizing the six energies in our body.'
'If the technique only requires maintaining a balance between the six qi and one's own mana, and does not require a certain amount of each to be inhaled and exhaled every day, I would doubt whether people who practice this technique have time to do other things.'
Miro couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart, and then suddenly thought of his companion treasure and looked at Yun Changkong.
"Uncle Master, I was fortunate enough to obtain a companion treasure during my foundation building this time. I wonder if it will have any impact on my cultivation method."
