Hearing the sound emitted by the token, Lu Li was quite surprised, and Xiao Cha also exclaimed:
"The Out of Body Realm Cultivation Method!"
Knowledge of Spirit Refinement has always been kept secret, and those at the [Out-of-Body] realm can become the leader of a sect.
At the national level, this is equivalent to the technological development of intercontinental Ballistic Missile, which cannot be measured by money alone.
The "Calming Incense" I gave them was just a low-level resource, not even in the same league!
Xia Weijun's gift is incredibly generous!
At this moment, she spoke up to remind him, "True teachings are never written down, Young Master Lu, please pay attention."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li sensed a special "spiritual force" emanating from the token in his hand.
It's a little numb, a little itchy, and has a unique... frequency?
Immediately afterwards, passages of text began to appear in Lu Li's mind; these were the <Butterfly Dream Out of Body Method>.
"Just like transferring files via Bluetooth, MindSpirit can be used like this!"
Lu Li was astonished, and at the same time, he firmly memorized the knowledge.
From the initial stages of Spirit Refinement to Embryonic Breathing, the key is "stillness"! Once "stillness" is achieved, then it's time to "move"!
[Like insects awakened by spring thunder, or a person jolted awake from a deep sleep. The Divine Soul leaps from 'stillness' to 'movement,' from 'stillness' to 'awakening,' leaving the body—this is called 'out-of-body experience.']
The Dharma teachings are all precious and explained entirely in plain language, so there's absolutely no need to worry about not understanding or misunderstanding them.
Lu Li was thoroughly enjoying himself, and at the same time, he increasingly felt that this mental state was quite mysterious, completely different from his own simple use of power.
By comparing the two, Lu Li had a vague understanding of the road ahead.
At that moment, he suddenly realized: understanding this state of mind and learning from the virtuous can also bring endless benefits!
"This Li Yuanzhong is Xia Weijun's master, the head of the Dragon Gate Sect... I am grateful!"
After a brief moment of reflection, Lu Li focused all his energy back on his contemplation.
He was so focused that he completely ignored the passage of time.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was noon.
Xia Weijun and Xiao Cha, who were present, dared not disturb them and tiptoed out quietly.
Upon entering the courtyard, Xia Weijun began instructing Xiao Cha on the cultivation of the Marrow Cleansing realm, with the emphasis, of course, on "refining the spine."
"I won't go into the dangers of this step, but there's a little trick—during the cleansing process, treat your spinal cord like your own eyeballs. Imagine you're touching your own eyeballs with your fingers, be as gentle as you can!"
These words were so clear that Xiao Cha raised her hand to touch her big eyes and immediately understood, nodding repeatedly.
Xia Weijun then said:
"This process of refining the bone marrow of the whole body is also called [refining immortal bones], and bone marrow is an important hematopoietic organ. When the bone marrow of the whole body is refined to be as white as frost and snow, the blood will also be replaced with new blood that is similar to lead and mercury. At that time, a person will grow a mouthful of new teeth, and the [blood replacement] will be completed!"
This was the teaching of a core disciple from a prestigious sect, Xiao Cha diligently memorized it, waiting to tell Lu Li later.
But even after Xia Weijun finished teaching, Lu Li still didn't come out.
Xia Weijun was quite satisfied; it seemed this boy had found the key point and was trying to understand his master's mind.
Seeing that the matter was settled and it was already 12 o'clock, she decided to take her leave.
Just then, Wan Qing brought up a pot of Spirit Tea and said gently:
"Xia Li, have some tea beforehand, and the meal will be ready soon."
Xiao Cha also said, "Let's eat before we leave. Maybe Lu Li will come out in a while."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Seeing that the Spirit Tea had been brewed, Xia Weijun did not refuse this kind offer.
Wan Qing gave a Wanfu Ceremony, turned and gracefully left to tidy up the food.
Xia Weijun stared at her beautiful back, inwardly marveling:
[What exquisite beauty! Her delicate eyebrows are like autumn water, her jade-like skin like a gentle breeze!]
Watching the beautiful woman depart, Xia Weijun glanced at Xiao Cha one last time.
This girl's eyebrows and eyes were full of spring-like joy, and her eyes were almost overflowing with honey; she must be quite fond of pleasure.
Xia Weijun already had a good idea of the family's relationships, and couldn't help but gossip to herself:
[Two women sharing one husband, what a lucky man... No wonder young Lu stays here so peacefully]
Xiao Cha noticed that Sister Xia was looking at her strangely, so she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Xia Weijun said with a smile.
"I want to thank you two, Ehuang and Nüying, for keeping such a talented person alive!"
Xiao Cha blushed and said shyly, "What 'talented one'? He's just a big jerk."
The girl's shy yet sweet appearance was quite pleasing, and Xia Weijun couldn't help but relax, temporarily forgetting the many burdens weighing on her shoulders.
At this moment, Wan Qing brought up the delicious dishes and began the meal.
The meal consisted of eight dishes and a soup, which was quite sumptuous. The food was delicious, colorful, and fragrant, making it very appetizing.
Xia Weijun picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with her chopsticks, tasted it, and nodded in praise:
"Soft, fragrant, crispy, and tender, cooked to perfection—just as good as those famous chefs!"
Wan Qing said gracefully, "These are just some home-style dishes. I hope Director Xia doesn't mind."
"Young lady, there's no need to be modest. I've traveled all over the country, and your skills are truly amazing."
"Then Director Xia is welcome to come and visit often."
"You can just call me 'sister' too."
Hello, Sister Xia.
The women were all essentially innocent and pure, so they naturally got along quite well.
Mei Mei finished her meal, but Lu Li still hadn't come out.
Xia Weijun had many things to do, so she took her leave.
"Young Lu probably still needs some time to figure things out. Let's talk about it when he comes out."
Xiao Cha and Wan Qing felt it wouldn't be appropriate for them to stay any longer, so they saw their guests off.
~~~~~~~~~~~
As for Lu Li, it wasn't until noon the next day that he finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if waking from a dream.
"I see!"
He was full of thoughts, unaware that a day and a night had already passed.
He got up and went outside, where he saw two girls coming to greet him.
"Lu Li, you've been staying inside all day!"
"Huh?" Lu Li looked up and realized it was already the second day...
No wonder you look a little tired.
"My lord, please have something to eat first." Wan Qing brought over a large bowl of steaming hot mutton noodles.
Lu Li, while eating, recounted his gains from the trip:
"Out-of-body experience is about letting the Divine Soul leave the body on its own. To achieve this, one needs at least ten thousand jin of Mind Power!"
He explained the contents of the "Butterfly Dream Out of Body Method" to the two women, but as he spoke, his brows furrowed.
"There's another difficulty... [Out-of-Body] is a qualitative leap, powerful and incredible. To break through, one needs the Martial Arts Realm of [Blood Exchange]!"
"Is that so!"
The two girls were stunned for a moment, but then they realized it was only natural.
Xiao Cha said, "The Out-of-Body stage is comparable to... the Innate stage!"
The Spirit Refinement involves several stages: Spirit Concentration, Meditative Entry, Thoughtless Meditation, and Embryonic Breathing. The fifth stage is astral projection.
In Martial Arts, the process involves Tendons Training, Bone Forging, Organ Refining three times, and cleansing marrow, followed by the fifth stage, "Blood exchange."
Correspondingly, "astral projection" should correspond to "blood exchange" in Martial Arts.
In reality, it is comparable to the sixth realm—the innate realm!
It's obvious that this "astral projection" is no simple feat!
Lu Li remarked with a sigh, "A powerful spirit truly needs to rely on a powerful body."
"It's perfect timing for us to cultivate together," Xiao Cha said. "Sister Xia also mentioned some key points of marrow cleansing cultivation."
She quickly relayed what Xia Weiyin had taught her to Lu Li.
After listening, Lu Li felt... he had gotten a huge advantage this time.
The Dragon Gate Sect teaches everything from Martial Arts Spirit Refinement spiritual cultivation; they truly put their hearts and souls into it.
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Li said:
"Let's take two bottles of Calming Essential Oil and go to the National Martial Arts Association express our gratitude."
