Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 23 The Essence of Taoism, Soul and Mana!
late at night!

Moon stars are rare.

Xu Yan sat alone in the courtyard and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The dim moonlight, like a cloud of smoke, fell into his nostrils.

The cultivation of the spirit and immortality, after reaching the realm of a sorcerer, is no longer simply visualization, but to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and use the aura of heaven and earth to temper the spirit and increase mana.

So whenever the moonlight falls, in Tianjing City, a large number of mansions, gangs, Taoist temples, temples, etc., people will swallow the moonlight.

There are even some people who are more ruthless in their cultivation, the whole house is pitch black, and the moonlight falling in the sky is all swallowed up, like a human-shaped black hole, absorbing all the moonlight.

About half an hour later.

Xu Yan woke up from his practice, and rubbed the Yintang acupoint between his eyebrows that was a little swollen.

It is where the upper dantian of the human body is located, and it is also the place where cultivators store their souls. Yang Qi is concentrated and the place where gods are stored.

At this time, the Sea of ​​Consciousness was in pain, because the moonlight that Xu Yan had swallowed had reached the limit that the soul could hold.

Before this moonlight is completely refined, continuing to practice is completely harmful and useless, and the gain outweighs the loss. It may even attract the demons to descend and put oneself in danger.

So even if Xu Yan wanted to improve his strength, he had to restrain himself.

The root of it is that one's power is limited, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite. If one wants to refine the power of heaven and earth with one's power, one can only gradually improve step by step, and one cannot think of becoming fat with one bite.

The path of cultivation should be gradual!

"However, isn't it too difficult to practice this golden pupil of luck?"

"With the strength of my own sorcerer realm, I can't even complete the spiritual network that depicts the Taoism. Can I only say that it is a high-grade Taoism?"

Xu Yan couldn't help frowning when he thought of the method of luck and golden pupils.

The practice of Taoism in this world is not the same as martial art and martial arts. It uses mana to describe the Dao pattern, and uses the Dao pattern to cast spells.

Dao pattern, Dao pattern also!

According to the legend, most of the original dao patterns in the world were obtained by the sages of the human race by observing the innate supernatural powers of demons. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, various dao methods were introduced, and each generation became stronger and stronger, and finally a complete The path of Taoism practice.

The difficulty of its development is more than a thousand times more difficult than that of martial arts.

In that most ancient era, behind every dao pattern, there were painstaking efforts and elegiac epics of countless sages of the human race, written by the sages of the human race with their blood and lives.

Nowadays, the practice of Taoism has been perfected.

There are Taoists who use their own mana to carve the Dao pattern, perform Dao techniques, and even engrave the Dao pattern in the soul, turning it into their own supernatural powers.

There are sorcerers who, when their own mana is insufficient, use foreign objects to carve dao lines and cast spells.

There are craftsmen who engrave Dao patterns on various utensils, and refine various magic weapons, magic utensils, formation diagrams, heavenly puppets, etc.

There are also wizards who engrave the Dao pattern on the flesh, use the flesh and blood to cast spells and perform blood sacrifices.

There are also monsters, evil spirits, etc., whose Dao patterns are formed by nature, and use their supernatural powers to harm the world, bringing all kinds of disasters to the world.

…………

Therefore, the essence of Taoism is the Taoism.

Different dao patterns evolve different dao methods and supernatural powers, such as attack, defense, curse, death, or creation of life, and so on.

Similarly, the level of Taoism is not only based on the power of the Dao pattern, but also the complexity of the Dao pattern.

Generally speaking, the more complex the Dao pattern is, the more powerful and strange the Dao magic power formed, and the harsher and more difficult the conditions for performing it.

For example, [Golden Pupil of Qi Luck] is a high-grade method of watching qi, and the level of Taoism is top-grade. The difficulty of entry into practice is more than a hundred times more difficult than that of low-grade Taoism. The sorcerer's realm in the Immortal Dao of Immortal Soul.

And if you want to transform [Golden Eyes of Luck] into your own divine channel method, you need to practice this high-grade Taoist method to the point of perfection, and then use the power of the divine soul to engrave the Dao pattern in your own divine soul.

Divine soul, mana!
The two are not the same concept.

If you really want to describe it, it is almost similar to the physical body and blood power of a warrior, with the soul giving birth to the mana, and the mana feeds back the soul.

The soul is the gathering of monks' thoughts, which is equivalent to the soul.

The mana is formed by refining the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of heaven and earth from the monk's soul, which is equivalent to imprinting one's own thoughts in the aura.

Therefore, the magic power of a monk can follow the monk's thoughts like his body and fingers, like a part of the monk himself, circulating in the monk's soul, which is more nuanced than the power of a warrior manipulating qi and blood.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly more difficult to engrave the Dao pattern in the monk's soul to form supernatural powers than to cast Dao methods with magic power.

Under normal circumstances, Taoism can be transformed into supernatural powers only when one reaches the level of a Yinshen real person.

Even many artifacts in the concept of the soul are the practice of supernatural powers. Once they are cultivated, they are equivalent to the cultivation of one or more supernatural powers.

And the level and quantity of the divine channel method that comes with the conception method determine the level and quality of the conception of the soul.

Now Xu Yan has not been able to get started with [Golden Eyes of Luck].

It is because the quality of this Taoism is too high, and his practice time is too short, and the mana in his body is not enough to support him to completely portray the Dao pattern of the top-grade Taoism [Golden Eye of Qi Luck].

Therefore, his top priority now is not to continue to practice the Dao method [Golden Eye of Luck], but to improve his meditation level as soon as possible, enhance his soul strength, and refine more mana.

Otherwise, even if you get started with Taoism [Golden Eyes of Luck] by chance, if you don't have enough spiritual power and enough mana, it will be extremely slow to gain experience. If you want to improve Taoism to a certain level, I don't know that it will take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

As the saying goes: If a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools, sharpen his knife and chop firewood by mistake, and never give up the basics for the last!

…………

Sleepless night!
The waning moon at the edge of the day has completely disappeared, the east is white, and a round of sun is slowly rising.

Xu Yan breathed out the first ray of purple air in the morning, and then slowly opened his eyes. He felt light all over his body, and the mana in his upper dantian became deeper and more pure, more than doubled compared to the previous day.

[Thousands of True Self and Spiritual Concept Lv4 (368/400)]

After a night of practice, the experience value of visualizing thoughts has increased by more than 150 points, only 32 points away from being able to upgrade.

Gein's spiritual practice is gradual. With the improvement of meditation thoughts, Xu Yan's spiritual strength is increasing every day, and the improvement of spiritual soul can in turn increase the duration and efficiency of spiritual meditation thoughts.

Up to now, he has been able to practice meditation for more than two hours a day, and the strength of his soul has increased by more than four times compared to before practicing meditation.

For Xu Yan, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

It seems that it is not far away from his full-time practice at twelve hours a day.

Such a diligent practice allowed him to find some kind of thrill of clearing the game all night and gaining achievements.

Especially when huffing and refining moonlight and cultivating, it made him feel like he was in a celestial state, and he felt that there seemed to be nothing happier than cultivating immortals in the world.

Coupled with the assistance of Goldfinger, he can clearly feel every bit of progress in his practice, which further increases his joy in practice.

It can only be said that cultivating immortals is more comfortable and joyful than practicing martial arts.

The only thing to pay attention to is that the cultivation of immortals should be restrained and not overly addicted.

Otherwise, not to mention the coming of heavenly demons, the invasion of foreign demons, etc., the severe headache caused by neurasthenia after excessive cultivation is enough to make people uncomfortable.

That's why, although cultivating immortals is good, don't be addicted to it!
