Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

In the silent night.

Qin Yi finished the final stroke. The talisman paper shone as if a little bit of starlight fell on the cinnabar.

After scrapping 16 talismans, the first Divine Speed ​​Talisman was finally made.

This talisman was used on the human body. It could make one move like wind, run like lightning, fly through the mountain, cross the river, and travel thousands of miles a day without getting tired. It had already involved a very mysterious principle. In Ming He’s evaluation system, this was already a grade 8 talisman.

This talisman was not as ingenious as Ming He imagined. In fact, it was just created by Liu Su at will, which just reflected its extraordinary understanding of the journey of cultivating. What amazed Ming He was that Liu Su just did it at will.

But watching Qin Yi finish it, Liu Su was very silent.

Qin Yi was enjoying himself, but realizing that Liu Su didn’t say anything, he asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Is it because I didn’t make this talisman well?”

“No, you did a good job. This talisman has reached inferior grade 8.” Liu Su replied sullenly, “But I think Ming He may have her reason to say that, so I’m thinking if you should keep learning it.”

“You haven’t seen the current talisman, how do you know if what she said makes sense?”

“There isn’t a need for that. This is the truth of all things.” Liu Su sighed, “Any spell or even the core technique is always summed up and improved on the basis of the predecessors. Even I have improved many predecessors and regarded it as the standard, there will be geniuses who will integrate a hundred schools of thought to put forth new ideas and create a new system that will shake the past and the present… If it is not as good as tens of thousands of years ago, then it is underestimating the talents of the world too much.”

“Ugh…” Qin Yi comforted, “What if some profound Taoism is lost? It may also cause a complete loss in that system, making the present not as good as the past.”

Liu Su was in a better mood, “There should be some. Especially according to Ming He, there was a beastkin catastrophe that may lead to the complete loss of many important inheritances, so people can only re-deduce based on some remnants or even just scrape the surface. It’s not necessarily that they can surpass me in every aspect.”

Qin Yi said with a smile, “That’s why every school has its own strengths. Your cultivation is far superior to theirs, even if you want to absorb new knowledge, you are faster than anyone else, so what are you afraid of?”

“I have nothing to be afraid of.” Liu Su said slowly, “It’s just that I… hate losing.”

Qin Yi was startled. This is the reason why this guy is easily triggered? But if it has cultivated to this level, will it still be so determined to win?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Liu Su interjected, “No matter how far you have cultivated, everyone has their own unique soul with a unique brand. Maybe some people think it’s ridiculous that I emphasize victory and defeat. It’s a flaw, a weakness, but that’s me, I’m willing to be like this. Do you think that if one reaches a profound level in Taoism, he will not care about anything else and treat everything else the same? This is not Tao, but a group of walking corpses.”

Qin Yi was stunned for a while, feeling touched. Liu Su’s views were always evil, but they were always very interesting. The key was that its words could always convince him. “I’m willing to be like this” that could be regarded as a naive comment in modern times didn’t violate the cultivation world. Seeking the truth and real self and asking Tao and one’s mind, was it that simple.

But from the comparison of Ming He’s performance, Liu Su was probably a bit deviant, not like something that could be regarded as mainstream orthodox…

“You don’t have to fully listen to me. It’s too early for you to comprehend the truth of the self.” Liu Su finally said, “It’s late now. Let’s start practicing the internal pellet… No matter how many changes there are in the current cultivation methods, this is no difference in laying the foundation at the most basic level. Just like no matter how the martial art changes, it is necessary to stabilize the horse stance first.”

It sounded like it was worried that what it taught Qin Yi was outdated, so it was trying to cheer itself up. Qin Yi was a bit dumbfounded. He sat cross-legged, but he remembered something and couldn’t help saying, “It’s so fragrant.”

Liu Su couldn’t help laughing. The outsider was absolutely at a loss when he heard it, perhaps it was the meaning that only it and Qin Yi knew.

It made Liu Su feel very happy for some reason. For example, the fact that Qin Yi was willing to cultivate with her made her very joyful.

Qin Yi adjusted the correct posture and asked, “You all say that I’m suitable for cultivating, but you guys don’t even check if I really have spiritual root. If I don’t have spiritual roots and I can’t cultivate at all, what to do?”

Liu Su wondered, “Spiritual root? Whether a person is suitable for cultivating and which direction is suitable for cultivation is spiritual root. If I don’t know your details, I may need to test you. However, you and I get along day and night, what else is there to test? What do you think spiritual root is? A root growing on the body?”

Qin Yi said, “… then I’m sure I have one.”

Liu Su spat in annoyance.

Qin Yi had already closed his eyes and slowly entered a clear mental state.

Liu Su was a little surprised. After looking at him seriously for a while, it suddenly smiled softly and muttered to itself, “And you still worry about not having spiritual root… From the past until now, I can’t even count more than 5 people for those who are more suitable in the way of immortal than you.”

Because it just recited an article of codes without any specific explanation at all. It initially planned to explain a little, but Qin Yi had already practiced by himself. The miraculous thing was that not only did he not practice wrongly, on the contrary, there was really a trace of heaven and earth aura gathering around him.

Maybe because he had learned external elixir, array, general knowledge of Taoism for a long time, and he recently learned talismans. In addition, he had been getting along with Liu Su day and night. All he had received was cultivate-related knowledge. Therefore, his foundation was enough to allow him to understand the codes and methods without obstacles.

But this couldn’t explain why the aura gathered so quickly as if it was coming at his call.

The way of immortal was hard. Not to mention his 3-month foundation, most people couldn’t achieve anything even in 30 years. There were many people who had cultivated themselves to death. Just look at the emperor… It was impossible for him to not have the foundation methods, but what did he achieve in the past few years?

To use a common saying in other industries, Qin Yi was probably born with this ability.

In martial arts terminology, it was called talent.

In immortal cultivation, perhaps it could be called spiritual root.

…………

Qin Yi’s current feeling was very strange.

If looking from the most basic level that he had cultivated so far, the so-called Qi Training Stage of the immortal cultivation was not much different from the true qi of martial arts. They both start from the same concept at the source. Balancing yin and yang, connecting the hundreds of meridians, nourishing the dantion in one breath, and using oneself to achieve a small world.

Then it could also achieve the effects of strengthening the body, cleansing the meridians and bones, eliminating diseases and prolonging life.

In the future, it was also necessary to open up the “Conception Vessel” and “Governor Vessel”, connect the bridge between heaven and earth, attract the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth, and achieve the great cycle between oneself and heaven and earth – This was called the Innate Stage in martial arts. For example, Li Qinglin had already reached it, but Qin Yi and Li Qingjun hadn’t.

But now Qin Yi, who possessed both true qi and aura, could tell a difference in the nature of the two.

For example, the true qi of martial arts could increase his strength, and it could also be released externally to exert direct destructive power. And the aura or spiritual force cultivated by the immortal seemed to have no such effect for the time being. Such effects might only be available after growing. On the contrary, his current feeling was very refreshing.

That’s right, it was very refreshing. Now that he had just cultivated a wisp of aura, he already felt comfortable all over. His limbs and bones seemed to be soaked with spring water. It felt cool and refreshing that he didn’t even want to stop.

No wonder some people cultivate so much that they don’t even want women… Presumably, when one cultivates to the higher realm of the soul, it will be more enjoyable?

Before being exposed to the comparison of higher realms, Qin Yi now felt like, the true qi of this martial arts was yang, attacking the enemy like fire; the aura of the immortal was yin, cleansing his body like water.

In fact, the true qi and aura he cultivated were both neutral. Each was the result after balancing the yin and yang, so there shouldn’t be such an obvious difference.

After yin and yang were balanced, each became yin and yang again?

Qin Yi could almost see his lower dantian, the original true qi and the new aura began to rotate slowly and finally turned into yin yang fishes. It was just that the aura was still very small. The true qi had been practiced for many years, so it felt like 2 people with huge differences in inverted positions, which was very awkward.

I don’t know what it will be like if I continue to cultivate. If my aura is too much higher than the true qi which causes an imbalance, it won’t be yin and yang anymore… I really should avoid this situation…

Qin Yi’s heart suddenly moved.

Maybe the blue leather nameless secret manual may have a special method… so the quality of the true qi is different?
