Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chapter 37 Dharma



The Red Flame Art is obscure and difficult, and every word is a pearl. Fortunately, Chen Yuan has studied hundreds of volumes of Taoist scriptures with the old scholar, and his thoughts are much clearer than ordinary people. After careful study, he slowly understood the mystery.

According to the Red Flame Art, the realm of cultivators is divided from low to high, including Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Dan Formation, Yuanying, and Shenhua.

There should be higher realms, but the Red Flame Art is vague.

When cultivators practice, they need to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, contain it in the Dantian, turn it into mana, and continuously purify and condense it. This realm is called the Qi Refining Stage.

The Qi Refining Stage is divided into ten levels, divided into the early, middle and late stages. Every three levels will encounter a small bottleneck. After breaking through, the strength will be qualitatively improved.

When practicing to the tenth level, you will encounter a big bottleneck. After breaking through, you can enter the Foundation Building Stage.

What disappointed Chen Yuan was that the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage could only use the mana in their bodies in a rough way. They could control objects in the air, but they could not fly into the sky and hide in the ground.

The young man in black shirt used a leaf-shaped magic weapon to carry him up in the clouds. He had at least reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, but it was still very reluctant, so his face was so ugly after landing.

Only after breaking through to the foundation-building stage, the mana in the cultivator's body was liquefied, and he could fly without the help of magic weapons, and his strength was far superior to that of the Qi Refining cultivator.

"Red Flame Art" also recorded the method of breaking through the foundation-building stage, but it was extremely obscure. Chen Yuan read it more than ten times, but still didn't understand it.

"Red Flame Art" also recorded ten spells, but Chen Yuan had no mana in his body and couldn't learn it for the time being, so he could only put it aside.

For him, the most important thing now is to practice martial arts diligently, practice until the peak of transformation, and then transform the true qi in the body into mana, and take this opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the early stage of Qi Refining.

According to the "Red Flame Art", martial arts is a method created by ancient immortal cultivators out of pity for mortals, imitating the immortal cultivation method, and changing the refining of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into mana to refining the blood in the body into true qi.

Since then, mortals without spiritual roots have been able to practice martial arts, strengthen their bodies, hunt wild beasts, guard villages and towns, and gradually multiply and grow.

But martial arts is only a minor path, and the blood and qi of the human body are far inferior to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The peak of martial arts is only innate, which is barely comparable to the cultivators of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, martial artists with spiritual roots can use the commonality between martial arts and immortals to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform the true qi in the body into mana, saving the hard work of practicing from scratch.

It’s just that the success rate of this method is extremely low, and it requires great risks. If you are not careful, you will die on the spot.

But no matter how great the risk is, this is still great news for Chen Yuan.

According to the "Red Flame Art", the qualifications of immortal cultivators are divided into heavenly spiritual roots, earthly spiritual roots, true spiritual roots, and pseudo spiritual roots, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is different.

Heavenly spiritual roots are single-attribute spiritual roots, with the best aptitude and extremely fast cultivation speed. They will not encounter bottlenecks until the Nascent Soul stage. They are rare immortal cultivation geniuses.

Earthly spiritual roots are dual-attribute spiritual roots, and the three variant spiritual roots of thunder, ice, and wind are also included. Their aptitude is slightly inferior to that of heavenly spiritual roots. They will not encounter any bottlenecks before the Danjie stage and are relatively rare in the immortal cultivation world.

True spiritual roots are three-attribute spiritual roots, which are one step worse than earthly spiritual roots. They will not encounter any bottlenecks before the foundation building stage and are relatively common in the immortal cultivation world.

Pseudo spiritual roots are four-attribute and five-attribute spiritual roots. They are the most common type of cultivators in the immortal cultivation world, with the worst aptitude. If there is no opportunity, it is almost impossible to cultivate to the foundation building stage.

Especially for cultivators with five-element pseudo spiritual roots, the spiritual roots in their bodies are mixed, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely slow. If they continue to cultivate step by step, they will never be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Chen Yuan is a five-element pseudo-spiritual root cultivator. If nothing unexpected happens, he will waste his whole life in the Qi Refining Stage. After a hundred years, he will turn into a pile of bones and die.

He took risks and survived many deaths, but in return, he got only such a cruel result.

If it were someone else, he would have collapsed and never recovered.

But Chen Yuan did not become depressed because of this. He just smiled and ignored it, and put all his thoughts on martial arts training.

Chen Yuan had died once in his previous life, and the fear of death was deeply engraved in his heart.

When the opportunity of immortality was in front of him, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were, he would not give up.

Even if he died, he would die on the road of cultivating immortals.

And the method of converting true qi into mana can save a lot of time for cultivation, and the possibility of him breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining is also a little greater.

No matter how risky this road is, he will go on.

Chen Yuan carefully read the "Red Flame Art" twice, and had a deeper understanding of the method of converting true qi into magic power. He returned to the courtyard, took a stance, and continued to practice the Six Yang Palm to accumulate true qi.

He never slacked off when he was trekking in the mountains. Now that he has settled down, he will not waste a single minute of time.

Ordinary warriors need to consume blood and qi in their bodies to accumulate true qi. They can practice martial arts for a maximum of two hours a day. Even if they take pills, they can only practice for one more hour.

If the time is longer, the blood and qi will be depleted, and the body will be damaged, which is not worth the loss.

But after Chen Yuan was infused with starlight, his body became stronger, and his blood and qi in his body were much more active than other warriors. He could practice martial arts for six hours a day.

If he took the Essence Pill, his blood and qi in his body would be more active, and he could practice for eight hours a day!

Chen Yuan is now like a poor man with a mountain of gold in front of him, but he can't get in. He is anxious and restless, and he wishes he could spend all his time practicing martial arts except for eating and sleeping.

He practiced until midnight. Relying on his vigorous energy, he only slept for two hours, got up at dawn, had breakfast, and continued to practice martial arts.

But he only practiced for half an hour before Luo Zhenwu came to his house in person and invited him to a three-story house.

The gate of the house was painted with a brand new red paint, and above it was a newly made plaque with two large gilded characters "Chen Mansion".

Chen Yuan asked and learned that after he returned to the small courtyard yesterday, Luo Zhenwu invited craftsmen overnight to tidy up this house and gave it to Chen Yuan.

Entering the mansion, more than a dozen people were waiting respectfully outside the main hall, including housekeepers, doormen, servants, maids, cooks, etc., everything was available.

Chen Yuan did not refuse, but accepted all with a smile, but ordered that no one was allowed to enter the backyard.

These servants naturally did not dare to disobey Chen Yuan's orders, and they all obeyed.

That night, Luo Zhenwu invited several chefs from Huixianlou to prepare a banquet to welcome Chen Yuan and celebrate his promotion to deputy hall master. All the three hall masters and deputy hall masters attended the banquet.

During the banquet, Hou Yan proposed to invite all the gangs and factions in Yuzhou to celebrate Chen Yuan's breakthrough of Gangjin and show the thriving trend of Fuhu Gang, but Chen Yuan refused on the grounds that he was concentrating on martial arts and had no time to care about other things.

In order to practice martial arts safely, he even took out the first-class secret book of Liuyang Gong to exchange for elixirs, and he didn't care about the empty reputation.

After this incident, Luo Zhenwu and a group of hall masters and deputy hall masters really became close to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan did not seek power, fame, and wealth, and took the initiative to offer the secret book of magic skills. It seems that he is really just a martial arts fanatic and has no plot.

Luo Zhenwu gave Chen Yuan a thousand-refined long sword weighing 100 kilograms on the spot as a weapon.

This is already the limit of ordinary iron refining. No matter how good the magic weapon is, it is refined from meteorite iron and strange black iron, which is worth a fortune.

Chen Yuan immediately put on a grateful look, Luo Zhenwu also encouraged him with warm words, and everyone praised him. For a moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After the banquet, Chen Yuan returned to the mansion. Two personal maids had been waiting for a long time and came up to serve him.

These two maids were good girls carefully selected by Luo Zhenwu. They were slim, beautiful, and clever.

They signed a contract with the Fuhu Gang and entered the Chen Mansion. They were Chen Yuan's people.

Chen Yuan was drunk, but the two maids did not dislike him.

Changing clothes and taking off boots, the movements were gentle and the face was shy.

From time to time, the slender hands stroked Chen Yuan's chest and shoulders, which were soft and smooth, making people think about it.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and sat still.

After the maid changed into a breathable short coat, he waved her away, got up and went to the courtyard, bathed in the starlight, and practiced martial arts.

The beauty beside him reminded him of the lights, wine, and women in his previous life, and his mood was inevitably a little confused.

But when the desire came, he was forced to suppress it, and no waves appeared.

At this moment, Chen Yuan finally understood the words of the black-shirted young man.

The road to cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven, and there is no way to fight for a line, to fight with heaven, to fight with earth, to fight with people, and to fight with oneself.

It is easy to fight with heaven and earth, but it is difficult to fight with people and oneself.

Cultivating immortals is a lonely thing. Only by strengthening the heart of Taoism and not being disturbed by the world can you win a chance.

...

In the next month, Chen Yuan stayed at home and practiced martial arts diligently. Only when the elixir was exhausted, he found the head of Shennong Hall and asked for two bottles of Jingyuan Dan.

Since Luo Zhenwu said that the elixir was open for supply, he would naturally not be polite.

But the head of Shennong Hall could not sit still.

When Chen Yuan came to ask for the Essence Pill for the second time, he gave the pill away and turned around to Luo Zhenwu's house to complain.

"Boss, Master Chen comes to ask for a bottle of Essence Pill every half a month. He has only been back for a month and he has already asked for three bottles! One pill can be used by a Gangjin warrior for five days of martial arts training. A bottle of ten pills is fifty days, but in his hands, it can only last for fifteen days!"

"The medicinal materials used in the Essence Pill are precious, difficult to pick, and extremely difficult to prepare. The success rate is very low. When you are lucky, you can only produce eight or nine bottles a month. If you are unlucky, you can only produce six or seven bottles a month. Master Chen uses two bottles alone, and he has to supply several masters and deputy masters in the gang. How can he sell them outside?"

Luo Zhenwu laughed:

"Master Chen has supernatural power and a strong body. He can consume It is reasonable that the consumption is larger. "

The head of Shennong Hall shook his head repeatedly:

"Impossible! The power of Jingyuan Pill is amazing. It is the limit for ordinary Gangjin warriors to take one pill every five days. No matter how strong his body is, he can only take one pill every three or four days at most. He used up a bottle in fifteen days. He must have embezzled it!"

Luo Zhenwu frowned and said:

"Master Chen wants money, but he also needs to embezzle pills? Don't worry about this matter. Continue to supply pills to Master Chen. It's not a big deal to sell less Jingyuan Pills."

"This... well, who asked him to offer a first-class secret book, and my Shennong Hall also benefited from it. I accept this loss!"

The head of Shennong Hall was depressed and left with a wave of his sleeves.
