The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 62 Entering the Tao
The mountains are high and the forests are dense. In early spring, the coldness is no less than in winter.

Standing on dead leaves and broken branches, Pei Ning held a long sword in his hand and carried an iron bow and quiver on his back.

She was wearing a tight grey dress with her sleeves tied tightly and her back straight.

Lin Bai also dressed in the same way, but changed the hairpin to a black one and wore a copper ring on his hand.

After seeing Qu Chengjia off yesterday, Lin Bai left without stopping.

Of course, it was very dangerous at that time. If Song Qing turned against us immediately, then the whole thing would be over.

But now it seems that the immortals are extremely contemptuous of ordinary people. Even the deep-minded Song Qing is the same and does not take Lin Bai seriously at all.

Lin Bai felt that these immortals might understand that even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit, but in their eyes, ordinary people are probably not even as good as rabbits.

"What's wrong with you?" Pei Ning asked when he saw Lin Bai stop.

Lin Bai looked in the direction he came from and said, "I always feel like something is following us."

Having seen the black cicadas and moths, Lin Bai did not dare to underestimate the cultivators' methods at all.

Although I am not afraid of deduction and tracking, if someone follows me closely, it doesn’t matter whether I deduce it or not.

"We have been careful enough. We have shot and killed all the birds and beasts that approached us. If the man named Song really comes, it is not his fault. You and I just have to admit it." Pei Ning smiled frankly.

She followed Lin Bai into the mountains yesterday, and until now she has not asked Lin Bai why he was sure that Qu Chengjia wanted to silence her. She was just cooperating with Lin Bai.

"He came here for me." Lin Bai looked at Pei Ning and said, "Actually, you don't have to go with me."

When Pei Ning heard this, his expression immediately changed. He glared at Lin Bai fiercely and walked forward.

"Why are you so anxious..." Lin Bai glanced back, then hurriedly caught up, carefully apologized, and finally coaxed him after a long time.

Previously, because Qu Chengjia was there, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were trembling with fear and didn't even dare to make the slightest movement, let alone practice.

Now that Qu Chengjia is gone, and there are pursuers behind him, there is no time to delay in practicing.

A warrior has no chance of winning against a Foundation Establishment Immortal Master. Only after entering the Dao can he have a slight chance of winning...

The immortal technique that I learned earlier was called Ruyi Jingxin Jue, and it pointed out at the beginning that it must be practiced in a place with abundant spiritual energy.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning didn't know how to tell whether the spiritual energy was abundant, but they immediately thought of the place where Qi Zhen died.

One can tell at a glance that the area is different from other places. It is a blessed land, probably a place filled with spiritual energy.

But the cave has long been known to everyone and is not considered secret.

Therefore, Lin Bai and Pei Ning avoided it and instead went to find the place where Pei Wuyong had hidden the magic secret.

It was after Sister Zhen reminded Pei Ning that he found the secret.

Because of this, Lin Bai deduced that there should be a blessed place nearby for spiritual practice.

The two men found the place and searched the area within a radius of twenty miles before they finally found a small cave entrance covered by dead leaves of bushes.

The cave was not deep, but very narrow, only enough for one person to fit in. After walking crookedly for more than ten feet, we reached the end.

The innermost one was slightly larger, but only about two feet in radius. In the middle was a stone cushion, and on the ground were some ashes from burning incense.

Nothing else.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s a blessed land or not, but living here makes me feel warm all over and very comfortable.

The two of them looked around carefully before finally sitting down to talk.

"I was thinking that your old lover would set up some kind of formation to prevent us from entering." Pei Ning had a smile on his face.

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? Normally when I diagnose a woman's pulse, I have to put a piece of gauze under my eyes. How could I have an old lover?" Lin Bai didn't expect Pei Ning to bring this up again.

"Hehe." Pei Ning sneered, took out the Ruyi Jingxin Jue from his bag, winked at Lin Bai, and motioned for him to look.

In fact, both of them had seen it many times, and Lin Bai had already memorized it.

However, seeing how cautious she was, Lin Bai still obediently moved closer to her and took a closer look.

The two people's heads were about to touch each other and they could hear each other's breathing.

Pei Ning frowned slightly, obviously taking it very seriously, while Lin Bai occasionally stole a glance at her lips.

"This Ruyi Jingxin Jue is an entry-level method for cultivation, and it has the effect of calming the mind. It is suitable for people with average qualifications to practice."

"According to the book, the first step is to sense the qi and find out where the spiritual energy is. The second step is the most important, which is to lead the spiritual energy into the body, cleanse the whole body, and then change the physique. This way, it will be better to absorb the spiritual energy into the body, achieve the change of the whole body, and use the spiritual power to drive the magic."

"This second step is a little dangerous, so it's best to have an elder or someone you trust to watch over you."

Pei Ning said the annotations recorded in the formula
When she said this, she turned her head slightly to look at Lin Bai and said, "You have been peeking at me. Is it because you want to sleep with me because we are alone in a room together?"

"We are still running for our lives, am I that bored?" Lin Bai frowned, looking as if to say, "How dare you look down on me like that?"

"That's right." Pei Ning nodded. "You've slept with the Immortal Master, how can you be interested in my mortal body?"

"Let's talk about cultivation first..." Lin Bai felt that Pei Ning's ability to be weird had become even stronger.

Sure enough, Pei Ning stopped finding fault and started a serious discussion with Lin Bai.

Both of them were novices and were cautious by nature. After discussing for a long time, Lin Bai insisted on going first.

After all, it was the first time, and Lin Bai was worried that something might go wrong with Pei Ning, but he had the stone plate with him, so he was more confident.

Pei Ning was not a shy person. Seeing that Lin Bai was determined, she agreed and just stood by with a sword to protect him.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged on the stone cushion, closed his eyes and emptied his mind.

The person has appeared on the stone plate. Following the method in Ruyi Jingxin Jue, he silently felt the spiritual energy veins around him. However, it was useless. After sitting for a long time, he did not feel the existence of spiritual energy in the stone plate...

"According to the Ruyi Jingxin Jue, spiritual energy is indispensable for future cultivation. If this is the case, then wouldn't it be impossible to cultivate in the stone plate?"

Lin Bai pondered for a while and opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Pei Ning asked with concern.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I'll try again."

I closed my eyes and did not enter the stone plate this time. I only calmed my body and mind, cut off my five senses, and did not care about external affairs or hear external disturbances.

After a long time, Lin Bai didn't feel anything. Instead, he felt that Pei Ning's emotions seemed to be getting more and more nervous, as if he was very worried.

She opened her eyes and met Pei Ning's gaze, her expression as calm as water.

Lin Bai knew her. She was always like this. Even if her heart was raging, she could always act as if nothing had happened.

"You go out first." Lin Bai said.

"As if I am happy to stay here." Pei Ning laughed and turned to leave the cave.

After a while, he came back with a rope.

"Remember to pull the string if anything happens. I... I'll come to see you in an hour." Pei Ning stuffed one end of the string into Lin Bai's hand and went out again with the sword in his hand.

After she left, the cave became even quieter. Lin Bai waved his sleeves to extinguish the torch and continued to close his eyes.

I don’t know how long it had been, but I seemed to hear the faint sound of trickling water.

After a long period of listening, I determined that the sound came from under the stone cushion.

The "water" seemed extremely light, rising slowly, but becoming less and less.

Lin Bai felt as if he was bathing in "water", and the water slowly seeped into his body through his skin.

Like a slight acupuncture prick, the "water" enters the skin, then the flesh, internal organs, tendons and bones.

The pain intensified, as if I had become dirty clothes, been washed through water, and then beaten with a mallet.

After an unknown amount of time, the feeling of a shrew washing clothes disappeared. The spiritual energy, like water and air, slowly entered the sea of ​​qi in the body with the breath.

There are two great secrets in human beings. One is the sea of ​​consciousness, which is where the life is located. It can concentrate the consciousness and realize the life's magical power. The mysterious part of it is not explained in detail in the formula.

Another secret treasure is the Qi Sea, which stores spiritual energy and uses it as a basis to drive magic. As the level of cultivation increases, the Qi Sea becomes thicker and stronger.

The two secret treasures complement each other, which lays the foundation for practice and the beginning of the great way.

Lin Bai closed his eyes and felt, only to feel that traces of spiritual energy were slowly entering his sea of ​​​​qi from three acupoints.

There are spiritual orifices in the human qi sea, at most nine orifices, but at least one orifice. The number of spiritual orifices is the so-called "qualification" for cultivation.

The more spiritual orifices one has, the smoother the path of cultivation will be. If one has nine orifices, then the path to the golden elixir will be smooth. If one has only one orifice, the path of cultivation will be extremely difficult.

However, this is only a rough statement. The quality of one's aptitude also depends on one's character, the strength of one's Qi sea, the amount of spiritual energy it can contain, and one's destiny.

But no matter what, the amount of spiritual awareness is the most direct way to distinguish the level of talent.

However, nothing is absolute. If the heaven has opened the spiritual orifices, it means that the path to the Great Dao has not been cut off. There are also many people who have only opened one or two spiritual orifices, so-called "poor aptitude", but they have gone further on the path to the Great Dao.

In particular, as one's cultivation realm becomes higher, the number of spiritual orifices becomes less important than one's innate ability.

The Qi sea has spiritual orifices, but the consciousness sea is different, because the destiny is determined and will not change until death.

The natal star is very important to the direction of the path of cultivation. Just like Qu Chengjia, the black tortoise in the natal river, practicing water-related skills and numerology will be twice as effective with half the effort, and you can also learn the magical power of deduction and tracking from the black tortoise.

After a long time, Lin Bai felt a trace of spiritual energy gathering in his sea of ​​​​qi, which then circulated throughout his body and became spiritual power that he could use.

But it was too little. Firstly, my own talent was indeed very average; secondly, the spiritual energy here was too thin.

"Qu Chengjia said that my aptitude is not very good, but he said that Sister Ning's aptitude is good. I guess Sister Ning has more spiritual acupoints than me... and this is a desolate place, so I guess there is not much spiritual energy."

When he opened his eyes, he saw Pei Ning looking at him.

"How long has it been?" Lin Bai asked.

"One day and one night." Pei Ning stared into Lin Bai's eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"I have entered the Tao." Lin Bai smiled.

Entering the Tao means entering the practice of cultivation, and one has already reached the first level of Qi training.

"It's different after sleeping with an immortal." Pei Ning's tone contained no emotion.

"Now that you have slept with me, you have also slept with an immortal." Lin Bai said shamelessly.

Pei Ning couldn't help laughing, and Lin Bai laughed too.

Seeing hope for the future, both of them felt a little relieved.

"It's your turn." Lin Bai touched his stomach and felt a little hungry. "I have a lot of experience and I'll tell you everything."

Pei Ning shook her head and said, "Just stay still and I'll protect you." She was very cautious and took out a water bag and a deer leg.

Lin Bai was not pretentious and naturally agreed.

Moreover, Lin Bai vaguely felt that the stone plate should have changed after he entered the Tao.
