What Qi Refining and Opening the Dantian Meant, Spiritual Root Grades, and Spirit Vein Pills!
What is Qi Refining?
Qi Refining is the process of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
How to eat it?
It involves using the Spiritual Vein that are distributed throughout the body to Perception and capture the surrounding Spiritual Qi, and then gathering it in the Dantian through the Spiritual Vein, which is called Qi Ingestion.
However, while the descriptions of Spiritual Vein in the cultivation manual are very detailed, the descriptions of the Dantian are ambiguous and unclear.
This is because the Dantian is not a physical entity; it exists, yet it does not exist.
Isn't this a contradiction? What does it mean to both exist and not exist?
It exists because of the guiding of Qi into the Dantian, Dantian can be Perception.
It doesn't exist because the Dantian is not a physical entity.
According to the description of the cultivation method in the jade slip. "Use Qi as a knot, store it for a moment, and in that moment, the Dantian will open, forming the Qi Sea. Circulate it back and forth, and you will enter the Qi Refining!"
In other words, once you successfully introduce Spiritual Qi into Spiritual Vein, you then guide that Spiritual Qi along the designated Spiritual Vein.
Ultimately, the place where Spiritual Qi gathers is the Dantian.
The Dantian cannot be opened in one go; it requires a continuous process of gathering energy.
Only when Spiritual Qi can be permanently retained can the Dantian be considered successfully opened.
If Ling Yi hadn't activated the third permission of the Gene Engine, he wouldn't have been able to analyze the Dantian at all.
This is why Ling Yi could only deduce Energy Muscle by relying on the Spiritual Vein Gene, and use Energy Muscle to cover the waist, abdomen and back.
However, they cannot Simulation the internal Dantian like cultivators.
The Dantian is an energy space that exists between the real and the virtual.
If it cannot be parsed or understood.
That would be quite unscientific.
When the Gene Engine activates its third-level access, Ling Yi can analyze macroscopic genes of matter and macroscopic genes of energy.
Only then was the existence of the Dantian, a special entity, finally understood.
To open up the Dantian, two conditions need to be met.
A complete Spiritual Vein ensures that Spiritual Qi can complete at least one cycle within the Spiritual Vein.
Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi is a special existence in this world of cultivation. Without Spiritual Qi, it is difficult to open the Dantian.
Both are indispensable!
Spiritual Vein are classified into Mortal Pin, Earth Pin, Heaven Pin, and Divine Pin.
Each item is divided into Ninth Tier.
So how are the grades of Spiritual Vein determined?
Examine the integrity of the Spiritual Vein.
The Spiritual Vein are divided into 9 main veins, 108 branch veins, and 720 scattered veins.
When Spiritual Qi can successfully complete a cycle within the Spiritual Vein, it is considered to have Spiritual Root.
If Spiritual Qi only circulates through the scattered meridians, it is considered Mortal Pin; the more scattered meridians that can circulate, the higher the grade.
When the branch veins form a cycle, it is of the Earth Pin; when the main vein forms a cycle, it is of the Heaven Pin.
If all nine main meridians can circulate Spiritual Qi, it is Divine Pin.
Scattered pulses, branching pulses, and main pulses vary in thickness and complexity.
This leads to differences in the efficiency of Karmic Luck and storage, naturally resulting in different levels of quality.
Ling Yi possesses Gene Engine, allowing him to freely deduce and strengthen the complete Spiritual Vein.
It can easily ensure that all meridians are unblocked.
In other words, Ling Yi can freely modify the grade of his Spiritual Root if he so desires.
" The Moon Gazing Sect is too small!" Ling Yi said slowly, looking at Li Chen and Lü Peng.
The two didn't understand what Ling Yi meant, but they just listened quietly.
They knew very well that they had no choice but to accept Ling Yi's arrangements.
"Even if you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, your lifespan is only a little over two hundred years. Do you think you can Foundation Establishment with the resources provided by the Moon Gazing Sect?"
Lü Peng didn't react much. He had no Spiritual Root and was just an ordinary person. Haste a hundred years, he would be nothing more than dust.
Li Chen understood Ling Yi's meaning. A glint flashed in his Guangzhi, and he clasped his hands in Fist Dao to Ling Yi, saying, "Senior, whatever your orders, this junior will not dare to disobey."
"I have a method that can improve the grade of your Spiritual Root!" Ling Yi said to Li Chen.
Turning to Lü Peng said, "It can also allow those without Spiritual Root to connect their spiritual veins and acquire Spiritual Root!"
Li Chen was shocked, somewhat incredulous. The grade of Spiritual Root could actually be improved?
How is that possible?
In the understanding of cultivators, Spiritual Root are innate and fixed; apart from Legend rare treasures, it is basically very difficult to improve their rank.
Could it be that Ling Yi possesses a rare and precious material that can enhance one's Spiritual Root?
Is this possible?
As for granting A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality Spiritual Root and enabling them to embark on the path of cultivation, that is extremely difficult, and no one has ever been known to have succeeded.
Lü Peng asked excitedly, "Senior Ling, can I really possess Spiritual Root and cultivate immortality?"
Ling Yi nodded. He didn't care whether the two believed it or not; faced with the facts, they had no choice but to believe it.
With a flick of his wrist, a pill appeared in his hand.
Both Li Chen and Lü Peng recognized this pill; it was the most common Fasting Pill.
"Eat it, and you will gain Spiritual Root, which will allow you to begin the path of cultivation."
"Isn't this the Fasting Pill?"
Is this Fasting Pill? Of course not, this is Gene Sphere created by Ling Yi using Gene Engine.
It takes about 10 crystals of energy to make one of these.
It contains corresponding gene fragments, and after consumption, it can automatically repair some of the Spiritual Vein Gene.
This allows the Spiritual Vein to continue flowing, generating Spiritual Root.
Of course, this Gene Sphere can only repair some of the scattered veins and branch veins, allowing one to obtain Earth Pin Spiritual Root.
As for the Gene Sphere for repairing the main vein, now is not the time to bring it out.
In fact, Ling Yi didn't need to go through all this trouble to repair Lü Peng's Spiritual Vein and awaken his Spiritual Root.
By directly activating the Gene Engine, one can repair Lü Peng's Spiritual Vein with a mere thought.
But Ling Yi wouldn't do that.
This Gene Sphere, according to Ling Yi's plan, will be of great use in the future.
Lü Peng looked at the Fasting Pill in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it directly into his mouth.
The next moment, Lü Peng let out a muffled groan and swayed a few times.
His expression showed slight pain, but the pain came and went quickly.
In less than three seconds, Lü Peng returned to normal.
However, Lü Peng's face didn't look good. It wasn't that the Gene Sphere hadn't worked, but rather that the sudden pain he had just experienced had made him suspicious of Ling Yi.
Could this be poison?
"This is a normal reaction to taking the Spirit Vein Pill. The Spirit Vein Pill can repair one's own spiritual veins and regenerate spiritual roots. Try cultivating it now."
Ling Yi explained.
Lü Peng still harbored doubts, but dared not voice them.
Moreover, he harbored a strong sense of anticipation; what if he could actually cultivate?
However, he doesn't have any cultivation techniques right now.
So he instinctively looked at the jade slip in Li Chen's hand.
Li Chen naturally understood Lü Peng's meaning and handed the jade slip directly to Lü Peng.
"Thank you!" Lü Peng said gratefully, then looked at Ling Yi.
"You try cultivating first!"
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he ignored Lü Peng and walked away into the distance.
After a moment's hesitation, Li Chen followed.
Ling Yi stopped by a pool of water and waited for Li Chen to catch up before saying, "You have Mortal Tier Spiritual Root, right?"
"Yes, Mortal Pin, Eighth Tier!" Li Chen said with a wry smile.
With such a Spiritual Root, barring any unforeseen circumstances, one is almost certainly destined to never Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.
" The Spirit Vein Pill I'm currently refining can only raise Spiritual Root to the Earth Pin First Tier."
Li Chen's eyes were filled with longing.
As long as one doesn't perish at the Earth Pin First Tier, even without any cultivation resources, one can still reach the Foundation Establishment simply by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
If one has cultivation resources, one is guaranteed at least to reach the Golden Core stage, and may even reach the Nascent Soul.
Foundation Establishment has a lifespan of over two hundred years, while Golden Core has a lifespan of Wu Bai, and if one reaches the Nascent Soul, one has a lifespan of one thousand years.
I just don't know what price I'll have to pay.
"You don't need to do too much for now; we'll discuss everything after you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."
Ling Yi spoke, he created another Gene Sphere and threw it to Li Chen.
After receiving the " Spirit Vein Pill," Li Chen cautiously inquired, "Senior, if I take this Earth Pin First Tier Spirit Vein Pill now, will I be able to take higher-grade Spirit Vein Pill later?"
Ling Yi had previously stated that the Spirit Vein Pill he was currently refining could only elevate Spiritual Root to the Earth Pin First Tier.
That means Ling Yi will be able to refine higher-level Spirit Vein Pill in the future.
Li Chen has great ambitions; his Earth Pin Spiritual Root is clearly not enough for him.
"Of course!" Ling Yi glanced at him and smiled.
It's good that a person is ambitious; it's hard to control someone who lacks ambition.
Whether Li Chen will betray us or not is irrelevant.
If you betray someone, just find someone else who will obey you.
Do they really think this Spirit Vein Pill is only for repairing Spiritual Vein? From the moment they took the Spirit Vein Pill, their lives were no longer in their own hands.
However, Ling Yi wouldn't say these things; it was all up to them to choose.
In one day, Lü Peng successfully Drawing Qi into the Body.
However, it will probably take another ten days or so to open up the Dantian and officially enter the Qi Refining Stage.
Li Chen, on the other hand, used his Earth Pin First Tier Spiritual Root to break through to the Qi Refining Second Layer in one fell swoop.
Even the inner disciples only had Qi Refining.
His cultivation speed is already quite high.
Li Chen and Lü Peng left, and Ling Yi did not assign them any tasks.
Or rather, their only task now is to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After Li Chen and the others left, Ling Yi was finally able to conduct more tests on the material Gene Analysis and energy Gene Analysis functions.
Although we can only analyze macroscopic genes at present, this "macroscopic" is also relative.
Matter Genes are the arrangement of the basic building blocks of matter.
Analysis can record information, and consuming energy can alter the basic structure of matter.
The same principle applies to Energy Genes.
Another half month passed, and it was now mid-July.
That day, Li Chen and Lü Peng rushed to the valley.
Just then, I witnessed Ling Yi wave his hand and turn a tree into a Shitou tree.
The two were immediately stunned.
They had no idea what kind of technique this was, and had never heard of any cultivator who could turn trees into stone.
While cultivators possess numerous methods, this particular method completely surpasses their comprehension.
If this method were used on them, wouldn't it turn them to Shitou instantly?
This made the two of them even more respectful of Ling Yi.
"Senior, the matter of the Spirit Beast feed has been reported, and it has already alarmed the Law Enforcement Hall," Li Chen said respectfully.
Ling Yi casually pointed, and the stone tree turned back into an ordinary poplar tree.
Nodding in satisfaction, she then turned to Li Chen and said, "But you don't need to worry about this so much, do you?"
"Senior, I'm worried that Junior Brother Lü's cultivation level will be discovered. You see, Junior Brother Lü didn't have any Spiritual Root before, but now he has reached the First Layer of Qi Refining. If it's discovered, it might be difficult to explain."
"Why explain? If someone asks, just say you don't know anything."
