Chapter 13, 3 levels
The golden crow flies, the jade rabbit runs.
Time flies.
Li Cunzhen officially became a disciple about a month later.
On this day, he accumulated true energy in the quiet room as usual.
Entering a meditative state, circulating qi, perfecting the microcosmic orbit, swallowing saliva and absorbing qi...
Back and forth.
Although it seemed tedious, Li Cunzhen found joy in it.
Half a month in the lower courtyard and a month on the mountain, more than forty days have passed since Zuo Ruotong passed on the Foundation Establishment Technique to Li Cunzhen.
Since he comprehended the Divine Realm, he could cultivate with every move he made. Even when he had to fetch water and chop wood in the lower courtyard, he could still accumulate more than sixty breaths of true qi a day.
Now that I'm on the mountain, I'm free from worldly entanglements and the constraints of cause and effect.
It allows one to devote oneself wholeheartedly to spiritual practice.
In addition, after accumulating true qi, one's essence becomes abundant, and entering meditation itself also has the effect of nourishing the spirit.
He was so full of energy that he didn't want to sleep.
Li Cunzhen even slept much less.
Given his single-minded pursuit of the Dao, he naturally devoted the extra time to cultivation.
Therefore, after going up the mountain, he accumulated more than seventy units of true qi in one day.
This was not because he was eager for quick success; on the contrary, as someone determined to attain enlightenment, he always demanded that he take things one step at a time.
On the path of cultivation, only by walking steadily can one go far.
It was simply a matter of chance, and it happened naturally.
Therefore, it takes 3,285 breaths of true qi to fill the 365 major acupoints of the human body.
Li Cunzhen has now filled all 364 major acupoints, and only the last acupoint is needed to successfully establish his foundation.
Furthermore, this last acupoint is only one breath of true energy away from being filled.
The last acupoint in the foundation building stage is called Fengfu acupoint, located at the back of the head, close to Fengchi acupoint, and is the direct entrance of the Du meridian to the brain.
The Du meridian is connected to the spine.
It can be said that Fengfu acupoint connects the spine and the brain, and is one of the most crucial acupoints in the human body's microcosmic orbit.
For ordinary people, filling this acupoint is a crucial step. In addition, passing this hurdle will allow them to establish their foundation, so it is inevitable that they will feel excited or nervous, or even have distracting thoughts, making it difficult to enter a meditative state.
But Li Cunzhen knew that it was precisely at times like these that one should not be anxious and should approach the situation with a calm mind.
He silently cultivated himself, just as he had done in the previous month.
It was at this moment that...
Li Cunzhen felt his mouth was full of nectar, and his tongue curled up slightly. The nectar flowed into his throat, entered his dantian, and transformed into a wisp of true qi.
The vital energy travels upwards along the spine and eventually enters the Fengfu acupoint.
A popping sound rang out inside Li Cunzhen's body.
Li Cunzhen instantly felt a burning sensation in his dantian, a boiling sensation in his kidneys, a cool sensation in his mind, and an indescribable feeling of completeness in his body.
It's as if the human body was originally a bamboo basket filled with countless tiny gaps.
Now it has suddenly turned into a tightly packed wooden ladle!
The primordial Qi and true Qi are water.
If you try to scoop water with a bamboo basket, all the water will leak out through these gaps, leaving not a single drop.
But if you use a wooden ladle to scoop water, you can catch it steadily!
"No wonder they need to fill in the acupoints when building a foundation; they're worried about leaks!"
A flash of understanding crossed Li Cunzhen's eyes.
However, although the body will no longer leak water after the acupoints are filled, the real foundation building is not yet complete.
It still uses water as a metaphor.
After being turned into a wooden ladle, it could catch water, but there was no suitable way to use the water.
There are only two options: catch it or pour it all out.
There is at most one half-inverted state, but the accuracy is quite poor.
A pipeline needs to be built to turn the wooden ladle into a kettle before the foundation can be considered truly complete.
The process of building this pipeline is called the "River Chariot Operation," also known as "Breaking Through the Three Gates."
The so-called three passes are the coccyx pass at the lower end of the spine, the spine-clamping pass in the back, and the jade pillow pass at the back of the head.
These three points connect the lower dantian, the Du meridian, and the upper dantian, respectively, and run almost through the entire human body.
Once these three barriers are opened, true qi can flow freely throughout the body.
The primordial Qi will also naturally emerge from the human body.
After filling the Fengfu acupoint, Li Cunzhen quickly adjusted his breathing and began preparing to break through the three barriers.
He first gathered all his inner energy and then circulated it upwards along the Du meridian.
Soon, Li Cunzhen felt the first obstacle to the flow of his true energy.
Tail Gate.
The San Yi Sect's Foundation Building Techniques explain the techniques for breaking through this barrier.
This is the starting point for the rise of true qi. At this time, the true qi is still weak and needs to be moved slowly and carefully, like a sheep cart.
Li Cunzhen immediately adjusted the speed of his internal energy flow and successfully broke through.
Next is the Jiaji Pass, which serves as a crucial link between the preceding and following sections.
This stage is closely linked to the heart; to pass it, one must run with great strides, like a deer pulling a cart, without stopping.
Li Cunzhen then accelerated the circulation of his inner energy, concentrated his attention, and attempted to break through this barrier.
Sure enough, they made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Finally, there is the Jade Pillow Pass, also known as the Iron Wall Pass.
This path is extremely narrow and is the last barrier between the spine and the brain, making it extremely difficult to overcome.
To get through, one must exert tremendous effort, like a tiger pulling a chariot, and charge forward with all one's might.
Li Cunzhen had a solid foundation and abundant internal energy in his dantian. He had already conquered the previous two challenges in one go, so he naturally had plenty of drive.
This hurdle was quickly and naturally overcome.
boom!
The instant after successfully breaking through the Jade Pillow Pass, Li Cunzhen felt as if he had broken free of some kind of shackle, and his internal energy flowed freely without hindrance.
Like a surging river, or a raging flood, the abundant and powerful true energy surged and circulated throughout Li Cunzhen's limbs and bones, until finally returning to his dantian.
This cycle repeats continuously, nourishing the five internal organs.
Once the three barriers are broken through, the true qi circulates smoothly, and the body's microcosmic orbit naturally operates, eliminating the need to press the tongue against the palate.
This is the sign of successful foundation building.
And at the same time.
Li Cunzhen could clearly sense the presence of some mysterious thing within his body.
It looks like water, and it also looks like mist.
It seems to be tangible, yet also intangible.
If he's right, this should be the legendary primordial Qi.
This is the foundation of the human body. It is most abundant in infancy, and the older one gets, the less innate Qi remains in the body.
The unique skill of the San Yi Sect, Reverse Rebirth Triple.
Its ultimate goal is to reverse the entire human body into a state of primordial Qi, achieving the immortal realm of being indestructible, imperishable, and unharmed.
And thus, they became immortals.
Even setting aside the most profound third level, the second level alone is enough to accomplish the astonishing feat of regenerating severed limbs and repairing the three cores.
Of course, Li Cunzhen, who had read the comic, knew this.
While the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is miraculous, even unparalleled in the world, it cannot lead to immortality.
He can only temporarily simulate the state of Qi through the operation of the technique, but he cannot truly reverse a person into the innate Qi.
It must be said that this is a shortcoming of the triple rebirth technique.
But this also shows how precious the primordial Qi is.
It is almost impossible to obtain; whatever amount of Qi you have in your body when you receive it is the same amount you will have in this lifetime.
Moreover, no matter how many magical spells Li Cunzhen cultivates in the future, he will need the ordinary Qi generated by this thing to cast them.
Thinking of this.
Li Cunzhen stood up and extended his right hand.
With a slight activation of his true energy, the projection of that primordial Qi appeared in his palm.
The color of one's innate Qi varies from person to person.
Li Cunzhen's skin was a soft, pale gold, which now emanated from his palm like a flickering little flame.
Looking at the flames, a sense of warmth welled up within him, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
I watched for a while.
Li Cunzhen withdrew his Qi and turned to walk out the door.
As a disciple, I should tell my master about my successful foundation building.
I also need to ask for the cultivation techniques after Foundation Establishment.
