Chapter 57: Immortal Skills, Jiajing's Thoughts "Why?" Jiajing raised his eyes and looked at Lu Fang, "Don't want to?" Lu Fang, who was in a daze, was suddenly startled when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out. "No, no! I am willing, willing!" Lu Fang was afraid that if he answered too slowly, his master would simply not take him to practice Taoism. "Thank you for your mercy, my master." As she spoke, she knelt down and looked at Jiajing with her eyes full of pleading. "Yes," Jiajing nodded, and a few pages of yellow paper appeared in his hand. "This is the method of cultivating immortality, called 'Qi Yin Jue'." Seeing this scene, Lu Fang's breathing suddenly stopped. What is recorded on these pages of yellow paper is the true method of cultivating immortals! "Take it." Jiajing raised his hand calmly, and Lu Fang quickly knelt down and stepped forward to take it with both hands. The moment I got these few thin pages of yellow paper, my whole body was shaking. What Jiajing gave to Lu Fang was not the entire content of "Basic Qi Induction Technique", but a copy he copied in the inheritance pavilion.
Of course, it’s not that there is something wrong with the technique. After all, the Qi Induction Technique is just the most common and mainstream entry-level technique in the world of immortal cultivation. Besides, he had no need and no desire to do anything. The original "Basic Qi-Inducing Technique" is actually a guide for beginners in cultivating immortals. It records a lot of information, such as one's natal star, natal objects, and some basic talisman-making methods. In addition, there is a lot of basic common sense about the world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus, Confucian academies and other information. What he gave Lu Fang were only the practice methods of the "Qi-Inducing Technique" and a few breathing visualization diagrams. As for the natal star and natal objects, in Jiajing's opinion, there is no need for Lu Fang to think about it, at least for now. If the life force in his sea of consciousness is of high quality, his cultivation speed in the Qi Refining Stage will also be very fast. At that time, he only needs to wait until he successfully draws the Qi into his body and then test its properties. Therefore, it is actually not important whether or not one can see one’s destiny during the Qi Refining Stage. Of course, it is impossible to see it in advance. Generally speaking, if you want to see it in advance, you have to use a special instrument to reflect your own destiny and take care of it in advance. This kind of thing, let alone the Ming Dynasty, even in the world of immortal cultivation on Arcturus, only the large sects have it. Moreover, it has to be a large sect with a leader who has been passed down for at least three generations and has a long history and heritage. It is also impossible for ordinary emerging large sects to have it. Because refining a magical instrument that reflects one's own destiny not only requires extremely high skills from the refiner, but also requires one to have a cultivation level above the Golden Core Stage, and must be a naturally gifted refiner. Therefore, the natal reflection magic weapon is a luxury in the entire Canopus immortal cultivation world. Even though it is a magic weapon, even an ordinary spiritual weapon is not qualified to be compared with it. In some large sects of cultivating immortals, whenever there is a newborn child in the family and the child reaches a certain age, the sect will give them a unified natal chart and make arrangements for their future. Those with good destiny will directly enter their own sect. Those with poor destiny will either stay in the family to develop or be sent to the sect's branch to make their own contributions. Although it is often said in the world of immortal cultivation that if one's natal destiny is poor, one can achieve a supplementary effect through the support of natal objects in the later stage. But the polishing of natal objects also consumes resources. If we use these resources on those who have good qualifications and natal objects, and polish their natal objects to make the good ones even better, wouldn’t that be great? The case of Jiajing is a special one.
A person in the Qi Refining Stage accidentally entered the sea of consciousness and saw his own destiny, but not everyone was him. In the inheritance pavilion of the Daming Immortal Sect, there were many ancient books that had been collected by the Black Wind Village. He had read quite a few of them and did find some fragmentary records, but they were finally classified as special cases. Therefore, for Lu Fang, all he had to do was practice. Jiajing himself is only at the fourth level of Qi training now, and it will probably take even longer for Lu Fang to break through to the foundation building stage. "From today on, after eating the spiritual rice every day, sit cross-legged and meditate according to the visualization diagram above, breathing in and out," Jiajing said, raising his hand and pointing, "Control the spiritual energy through breathing in and out." "There is no spiritual energy in the Ming Dynasty, so you can only guide the spiritual energy in your body through breathing and visualization." "First, guide the spiritual energy into the acupoints. When you can control the spiritual energy in your body, it means that you have reached the first step, the stage of guiding the energy. Then, start guiding the energy according to the exercise route..." "In this way, you have officially embarked on the path of Qi training." Jiajing continued speaking after glancing at Lu Fang who was reading the 'Qi Inducing Art' and listening attentively. "The cultivation of immortals is divided into Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir... Mahayana and other realms. These are too far away for you." "You just need to know that Qi training is divided into nine levels. One, two, and three are the early stages; four, five, and six are the middle stages; seven, eight, and nine are the late stages..." Inside the Yuxi Palace, Jiajing began to lecture, while Lu Fang listened attentively and took out a pen and paper to take notes. Seeing Lu Fang's record, Jiajing did not stop it. The Ming Dynasty, from nothing to something, started with him, and this is exactly what he wanted to see. "Okay, that's all for now." After talking about the experience and key points of practicing Qi training, Jiajing continued. "From today on, you will practice with me in Yuxi Palace. The backyard is a spiritual field. From now on, you can practice in the backyard once every once in a while. It will be very beneficial to your practice..." Although all the spiritual energy in the spiritual field in the backyard must be used to nourish the land, it is okay to go in and practice once in a while. That little bit of spiritual energy is useless to myself, but it is useful to Lu Fang. "Yes," Lu Fang kowtowed respectfully and sat cross-legged beside the platform. Then he looked at Jiajing and said expectantly, "Master, if you have no other instructions, shall I start practicing now?" Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, she nodded and said, "Let's get started." "Yes!" Lu Fang was overjoyed to get Jiajing's approval. He sat down quickly and began to meditate with his eyes closed. Just open your eyes and look at the chart from time to time. His expression showed caution, impetuous, and anxious. After a while, he seemed to have memorized the map and began to calm down. Jiajing, who saw everything, shook his head slightly. This was the first time he saw such a rash and impetuous side in Lu Fang. Looking at Lu Fang who started to breathe in and out, Jiajing's mind was also in turmoil, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes. The decision to give Lu Fang the method of cultivating immortality was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. He had already thought of this when he decided to cultivate the spiritual field. In fact, going back further, the decision was made when Lu Fang and Lu Bing were given elixirs to improve their health. Of course, when Lu Bing comes back, he will also bestow the magic. He and Lu Fang were in charge of internal affairs and external affairs respectively, and there was a clear division of labor between the government and the opposition. The Ming Dynasty will definitely transform into an immortal dynasty, and manpower is inevitable in this process.
In addition, if the spiritual fields are cultivated successfully, more spiritual fields will need to be cultivated, and Lu Fang and Lu Bing will be the best helpers. Once they succeed in their cultivation, they can train more immortal cultivators. Later, as the number of spiritual fields increases, the number of immortal cultivators in his hands will naturally increase. These people can be used to cultivate spiritual fields, and the grains grown in the spiritual fields can also be used to cultivate these immortal cultivators. In this way, a virtuous cycle system is formed until one has a powerful army of cultivators in his hands. Absolute confidants like Lu Fang and Lu Bing will be the strongest people under his command to manage the army of immortal cultivators. By the time the Ming Dynasty began to popularize the practice of cultivating immortals on a large scale, the imperial court already had the absolute power to lead and suppress the world. In Jiajing's vision, the power structure of the future Ming Dynasty should be a hierarchical pyramid structure. It is similar to, but different from, the centralized dynastic power structure, but is simpler, purer and unconstrained. The top self is supreme over everything. The second level is composed of Lu Fang and Lu Bing, who are his absolute confidants and are responsible for managing the next level. With this gradual progress, even if the practice of immortal cultivation is popularized on a large scale, no one can resist his will as the emperor. Because from the very beginning, the power and resources controlled by the top level have increased exponentially compared to them. Some ordinary civil unrests could develop into huge harm if not handled with care, not to mention the rebellion of immortal cultivators in the future. In the mortal world, strength in numbers is an iron rule, but in the world of immortals, strength in numbers is not absolute. It is estimated that ten Qi training stages are not enough to defeat one foundation building stage. It is precisely because he himself is also a cultivator, and as he advances through the Qi training stages, he has already felt the gap between the realms. Not to mention the more powerful golden elixir and Nascent Soul. The further one practices, the greater the gap between each realm becomes, like a chasm that cannot be filled by quantity. Moreover, in order to consolidate his own rule, Jiajing had long ago come up with the idea of solving the problem once and for all. Of course, it is still too early to think about this idea for the Ming Dynasty today, and we need to think about it more carefully. The most important thing is to take care of the present first, take one step at a time, and take each step steadily and steadily. "..." (End of this chapter)
