"From a scientific research perspective, Spiritual Qi is indeed a very useful tool."
Li Xingkong also relied on Spiritual Qi to create spiritual plants, so he was naturally very clear about the effects of Spiritual Qi.
"The problem is that sensing Spiritual Qi is quite difficult; there aren't many people who have even a clue about it yet."
Tang Cheng has gained a deep understanding of sensing Spiritual Qi over the past few days.
"The main difficulty lies in the fact that the procedure is vaguely described, and the person performing it doesn't know to what extent it needs to be done."
Li Xingkong had also thought about this problem in the past few days. The main reason he felt it was difficult was that the person who was trying to sense Spiritual Qi didn't have a concept of Spiritual Qi and didn't know what they were supposed to do, which was why they found it difficult.
Once you sense Spiritual Qi, it becomes much easier to sense it again later.
Li Xingkong didn't plan to make any changes to the problem he encountered in sensing Spiritual Qi, because although this step was somewhat difficult, it wasn't as difficult as advanced mathematics or physics, to the point that it was impossible to solve. It didn't even require anyone to use their brain.
If you are patient and can calm down, you can always do it if you try a few more times.
If you find even this step difficult and don't want to try, then you might as well not cultivate immortality at all. This little difficulty is not even a stumbling block on the path of cultivation. With this kind of mentality, you won't go far even if you cultivate immortality.
"Believe me, this is already the simplest step on the path of spiritual cultivation."
Reflecting on my own spiritual journey, I realized that the difficulties I encountered were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, yet I still managed to overcome them all.
"Don't say that. I'm afraid my aspiration to follow the Tao will be crushed by you before it even takes hold."
Tang Cheng quickly waved his hand, having only taken half a step, he wanted to show off for a while first.
"Continue to observe their perception progress over the next few days. I'll try to figure out a complete cultivation technique for you to practice."
Now that the Spiritual Qi is in place, the next step is to prepare the cultivation method for the Qi Refining stage. Li Xingkong plans to extract a simple Qi Refining method from the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method Qi Refining Method them to practice.
It wouldn't be impossible to directly give them the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method to practice, but the biggest problem is that the content of this Qi Refining Method is too much.
They only sensed Spiritual Qi; they hadn't learned basic techniques like the Hibernating Dragon Technique. With the aid of Spiritual Qi, an ordinary person remained an ordinary person; there was no direct brain mutation or rapid advancement.
Knowledge that was difficult to learn in the first place is still difficult to learn even with the help of Spiritual Qi.
Judging from the fact that it took Tang Cheng several years to learn the Hibernating Dragon Technique, if he were to teach them the complete Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method now, it would probably take at least several years for them to even begin to grasp the basics.
Therefore, if you want to quickly embark on cultivation and begin Qi Refining, a simple and easy-to-learn Qi Refining Method is indispensable.
This method can only be created by Li Xingkong now; no one else can help.
The original system provided a large amount of knowledge about the Qi Refining Method because it covered a wide range of content. It did not provide any specific route for constructing Mana Circuit or a direct method for constructing the Qi Sea. Instead, it started from the most fundamental principles and explained the cultivation process of the Qi Refining stage from the beginning.
The reason why Li Xingkong can freely construct Mana Circuit within his body without any scruples is because he studied the principles of construction. He can tell at a glance whether a Mana Circuit can be constructed and whether there will be any problems after it is constructed. This Qi Refining Method laid a complete theoretical foundation for him from the very beginning.
It is difficult to learn and contains a lot of knowledge because it goes into great depth.
Li Xingkong's Qi Refining Method for this group of people is different. He plans to remove all the redundant theoretical knowledge and only provide the simplest and clearest construction methods for the construction of Mana Circuit and the opening of the Qi Sea.
Those who obtain the cultivation method do not need to know why the Mana Circuit need to be opened in this way, nor do they need to know why the Qi Sea needs to be opened in this way, or why the Magic Power needs to be circulated in this way. They only need to follow the Qi Refining Method step by step.
If Li Xingkong's original Qi Refining Method was "Building a Car from Hand-Made Gears," then his current version is "How to Drive."
Drivers only need to know how to drive; they don't need to know how cars are made.
As for when to learn the fundamental theories of the Qi Refining stage, let's wait until we've achieved success in Qi Refining and our lifespan and overall physical condition have improved.
It's certainly good to understand the theory before practicing, but many people are pragmatists. They won't care about theories that they can't apply, no matter how much they are explained. They only gain a deeper understanding when they encounter problems themselves.
Another point is that the improvement in physical fitness after Qi Refining will inevitably lead to an enhancement in learning ability. With enhanced learning ability, one can then learn more, just like sharpening the axe before chopping wood.
Of course, even if some people don't like theoretical research or care about principles, it won't stop them from following this simplified version of the cultivation method. However, such people will at most be ordinary people, and it will be basically impossible for them to stand out on the path of cultivation.
"Let's call this simplified version of the Qi Refining Method 'Rising Sun Guide,' since it's a simplified version based on the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method. Its Qi Refining principle is also to absorb solar energy and convert it into Magic Power, so the name is quite fitting."
The beginning is always the hardest, and the first step in this simplified Qi Refining Method is to come up with a nice-sounding name.
After deciding on a name, Li Xingkong constructed the Mana Circuit throughout his body in his mind. The Mana Circuit on Li Xingkong's body were incredibly complex. To an ordinary person, they might look like a jumble of random lines scribbled by a child. In fact, not all of these Mana Circuit were operational; many of them served as backups.
They seem useless under normal circumstances, and even take a longer route when Magic Power is being used, but in an emergency when full power is needed, these backup routes can increase Li Xingkong's Magic Power burst speed several times over.
But these are for beginners to learn and practice now, so these backup circuits can be removed.
With a thought, Li Xingkong automatically deleted a large portion of the Magic Power structure from the originally very complex Mana Circuit diagram.
"These minor details of the Mana Circuit can be temporarily disregarded."
With a wave of his hand, Li Xingkong simplified the Mana Circuit diagram in his mind, making it look like a tree without branches and leaves.
After several more revisions, the final diagram of the Mana Circuit in Li Xingkong's mind resembled a stick figure, with only a few very thick lines remaining, and all the original messy and disorganized small structures were deleted.
The remaining few are Li Xingkong's simplified Mana Circuit. While preserving the effects of Qi Refining Method cultivation as much as possible, they can also circulate Magic Power throughout the body to the maximum extent.
Li Xingkong also combined these remaining Mana Circuit with existing traditional Chinese medicine theories, basically covering the circulation range of the eight extraordinary meridians. This makes it easier for modern people to find the locations of these Mana Circuit. Without acupoints for location, many people might practice incorrectly.
