True enlightenment against heaven: Starting from the proud smile

As his figure fell, Lu Yuan's face turned dark. He could not tell whether the one meter he jumped just now was due to his jumping or the effect of his true qi.

In short, he found that his true qi could no longer support his body.

It felt like taking the battery out of a toy car and putting it into an energy-saving car.

The energy was too low and the density was too high. It could not be carried at all!

And Lu Yuan always felt that something was wrong.

In fact, according to the Taoist scriptures he had read, there are two ways to transform the acquired qi: one is to inhale the acquired qi in the surrounding air into the body through breathing and refine it. The other is to extract it through food, which can also transform the acquired qi.

His current situation seems to be missing a link.

It would be great if there was a Qi refining method in this world at this time, even the most basic one would be fine.

Putting aside this thought, Lu Yuan tried to inhale the acquired Qi in the air and refine it using the Qigong method of "The Secret of Longevity". It was indeed effective at first, but when the Qi was introduced into the Dantian after the circulation, a discomfort immediately came from the lower abdomen.

He did not hesitate and quickly led the acquired Qi in reverse.

Then he opened his mouth: Hiccup~!

The scene was somewhat awkward, but Lu Yuan did not care. This was the second failure, which was normal.

After all, it was a new cultivation system.

He did not rush to try again, and his thoughts sank into his mind, and he sorted out the relevant knowledge in his mind first.

Because there was always a sense of disobedience.

"The Great Dao is invisible, giving birth to the heaven and earth; the Great Dao is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; the Great Dao is nameless, nourishing all things..."

"If a person can always be quiet, the heaven and earth will all return to him..."

"Those who cultivate the spirit must first cultivate the heart, and those who refine the qi should calm down..."

"The spirit of the upper elixir, the qi of the middle elixir, and the essence of the lower elixir..."

"Huh?!"

Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange expression flashed across his face. He seemed to know where the problem was.

He tried to inhale a breath of acquired qi again. As the technique ran a big circle, when he entered the dantian again, Lu Yuan did not enter the lower elixir again, but changed the last meridian direction and slowly tried to contact the middle elixir.

The next moment, a silky influx appeared, and the qi entered the middle elixir without a trace of stagnation.

So that's it!

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he figured out a lot at this moment.

It's still the same sentence: the spirit of the upper elixir, the qi of the middle elixir, and the essence of the lower elixir.

In the theory of Taoism and Chinese medicine, the human body is divided into three dantians, namely the upper, middle and lower dantians, which correspond to different functions and energy storage points.

The upper dantian is located at the ancestral orifice between the two eyebrows, also known as the Niwan Palace. It is the place where the spirit is hidden, and it is also the primordial spirit, that is, the place where the soul is in a broad sense.

The middle dantian is located in the heart between the two breasts, that is, the location of the Tanzhong point, which is the place where the qi is stored. The "qi" here is the acquired qi cultivated by Taoists. Therefore, it can be said that the middle dantian is specially used for practicing qi in Taoist practice.

As for the lower dantian, it is located three inches below the navel, that is, the location of the Guanyuan point, and is considered to be the place where the essence is stored. The "essence" here has multiple meanings, including both reproductive essence and the essence and life energy in the human body. This is the main place for "refining essence into qi".

This is why Lu Yuan failed before.

How can there not be problems when using the original gasoline engine to burn aerospace fuel?

From this, we can see that the essence in the food is transformed into internal force, and then from internal force into true qi, and finally true qi helps to promote to the innate. This whole process focuses on the lower dantian, which is the first stage of Taoist practice: refining essence into qi.

The practice of refining qi now is naturally considered to have entered the second stage: refining qi into spirit!

By analogy, Lu Yuan has already vaguely understood what to practice at this stage.

Of course, everything is just speculation.

Continue to focus on the present.

Lu Yuan tried again according to the deduction just now.

This time he still chose to only refine true qi, and after the true qi appeared, it was naturally introduced into the lower dantian to accumulate true qi. At first, it was okay, one strand, two strands, three strands... until the fifteenth strand, all the previous true qi condensed at this moment, turned into a strand of acquired qi, and actively flowed from the lower dantian into the middle dantian.

Sure enough, his speculation was correct!

When the body enters the innate state, the true qi generated in the body will automatically turn into a more suitable acquired qi when it accumulates to a certain amount.

Lu Yuan showed satisfaction in his eyes. He stood up and went to the courtyard. He applied a wisp of acquired qi to "Walking on the Clouds". The familiar feeling of soaring appeared again, and he jumped more than four feet high.

In this process, through practical attempts, Lu Yuan could clearly feel that acquired qi was much more "active" than true qi.

This means that the changes driven by qi will be more complicated.

The most direct change is that Lu Yuan can actually hover directly in the air and fall for two full breaths.

You know, he didn't borrow a trace of the power of heaven and earth just now.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and his extraordinary understanding helped him quickly adapt to the general trend of this world.

Soon when he opened his eyes again, the familiar feeling of borrowing the power came back again.

Not only that, he tried to concentrate and waved his arms, and the airflow within a radius of five meters around him turned from static to dynamic, rolling up the dust on the ground, and the next second it turned into calm under Lu Yuan's control.

Very good, the domain is also fine, but the range has been reduced to a radius of five meters.

Lu Yuan once again called upon the second strand of Qi in the middle Dantian. This time he jumped up, and he used the momentum to generate a breeze under his feet. He was empty like that for five full breaths.

After landing again, Lu Yuan was a little excited. The plasticity of acquired Qi is much stronger than that of true Qi.

He was about to continue to try the five Qi conversion properties.

As a result, he found that during the period of time just tried, the acquired Qi transformed by "Changsheng Gong" in the middle Dantian was only five strands in total.

This is too slow!

For Lu Yuan, who is used to using true Qi lavishly, this is simply unacceptable.

In fact, putting aside the shortcomings of life tempering, but in terms of Qi training, this speed is already quite fast. "Changsheng Gong" is a practice derived by Lu Yuan from the entire world of Xiaoao. In terms of the use of human meridians and organs, except for the limitations brought by the world's energy level, it is already quite brilliant.

This can be judged by looking at how many exercises in this world can be used to practice Qi by themselves.

So far, the only one that has been clearly explained is the old farmer's skill that Feng Baobao passed on to Zhang Chulan eighty or ninety years later.

It's just that there is no reference for the time being, so Lu Yuan is not clear about these.

He looked at the rich acquired Qi in the air around him, and immediately thought of the Qi-absorbing method he had worked out when he was studying the "Star-absorbing Art".

His eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he turned back to the house to modify the technique, and when he left, he excitedly asked: "Hua'er, help me look..."

Halfway through his words, Lu Yuan suddenly got stuck...

He stopped where he was, and stood alone in the dark and empty yard for a long time.

After a long time, he exhaled, silently arranged something in the yard, and then walked into the house.

Sitting cross-legged, he did not start modifying the technique immediately, but calmed down for a long time before suppressing the loneliness and longing.

Next, the first technique upgrade in this world begins!
