Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 13 Fetal Breath
"Junior brother, junior brother?"

Xu Heng suddenly opened his eyes and realized that Ling Lingxiu had gotten very close to her at some point, so close that he could see the skin like gelatin and smell the faint blue breath.

There is no doubt that he has regained his five senses and returned to reality again...

Xu Heng was thinking to himself when he saw a layer of mist rising up on Ling Ling's beautiful face. He silently stepped back, and then he was shocked to realize what he had done. He hurriedly said: "No offense, senior sister——"

"It doesn't matter." Ling Lingxiu turned her face away slightly, not letting Xu Heng continue to speak, and asked: "Junior brother tried to detect spiritual thoughts, why did it take so long? But what went wrong?"

Xu Heng thought of the sudden change and hesitated for a few moments before choosing to say, "There's nothing wrong with it. I just immersed myself in it."

Ling Lingxiu didn't have any doubts, so she asked again: "Is it possible to detect spiritual thoughts?"

When Xu Heng heard the words, his eyes fell back to his palms, and he looked at the alchemy gourd in his hands. Suddenly, he felt something, and it slowly came out from between his eyebrows——

This feeling is very dreamy. Logically speaking, it should be that the spiritual mind has reached out of the body, but the actual feeling seems to be that the center of the eyebrow has grown into a new sense that is completely different from the eyes, ears, mouth, nose... There is a lot of information between heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, although it sounds miraculous, the perception of spiritual thoughts is still far behind Xu Heng's imagination. It even appears hazy and obscure compared to the clarity of the five senses. It's like putting your fingertips in front of your eyebrows. A vague and elusive illusion——

But it is real.

Xu Heng concentrated his mind and tried to probe the elixir gourd with his spiritual thoughts. Sure enough, he could sense the various elixirs in it. All he needed was a thought.

As Xu Heng's hand tilted slightly, Watson's and Yulu's elixirs rolled out one after another.

"Is this spiritual thought?" Xu Heng was surprised and couldn't help but think: "It's no wonder that it is true that one sentence is passed down, and that thousands of books are pretended to be passed down. Senior sister taught me how to use spiritual thought with just a few instructions. If I had to explore it on my own, I really wouldn't know. When will you realize it?”

Little did he know that Ling Lingxiu was also a little surprised. It sounds simple to use spiritual thoughts, but in fact many people can only do it after they have a certain level of cultivation and strong spiritual thoughts.

She taught Xu Heng how to use spiritual thoughts because he already had some cultivation skills, but she didn't expect that Xu Heng could do it easily without even trying a few times.

Ling Lingxiu thought that when his fingertips came close to Xu Heng's eyebrows, they were not even close to three inches, and he reacted. He couldn't help but think: "Junior brother's spiritual thoughts are indeed much stronger than ordinary people."

This is naturally a rare talent, but Ling Lingxiu didn't know why, but she found it a bit surprising.

"Okay." Ling Lingxiu said: "You can take the Watson Pill and the Jade Dew Pill first, and then you can start trying to refine Qi. I will protect you by the side."

"Yes." Xu Heng followed the good example and took the two elixirs one after another. He immediately sat down on the ground without worrying about whether it was clean or not, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Qi is the foundation of the body. If you know that Qi can be gathered, you will know that Qi can be transported; if you know that Qi can be transported, you will know that Qi can be refined."

Xu Heng silently recalled the contents of "Xuan Men Chong He Pian". He had already read this chapter thoroughly and simulated the scene of refining Qi in his mind countless times. Now that he really started to try it, he had a plan in his mind: "The method of refining Qi is to close the acupoints first, take in more and expel less; then close your mouth and put your tongue against the upper palate; then think of the Qi in your body, which goes in and out with your breath, up to your throat and tongue, like drinking sweet rain, and send it with your mind, down through the heavy tower, and embrace the origin to be at peace..."

Ling Lingxiu realized that within a short breath, Xu Heng had already fallen into concentration, gradually growing in and out with each breath, and there was a deep and mysterious feeling in her body, and the lingering Qi slowly rose, and she couldn't help but nodded. .

It was within her expectations that Xu Heng could enter the state smoothly, but what she didn't expect was that Xu Heng did not maintain this state. She saw that his breathing became longer when in and shorter when out. After a while, there was only inhalation and no exhalation. After another moment, he stopped breathing completely.

"This is..." Ling Lingxiu's eyes widened slightly, feeling quite incredible: "Is this the fetal breath?"

The person who is breathing in the fetus does not move or shake, is not worried or fearful, and does not think about it. This is called great concentration. This is the mysterious realm of Qi refining. When you are refining Qi, you can enter the fetal breath. There are countless wonderful things. Once you practice it, Thousands of miles per day is just the most common benefit. According to legend, it can even increase the root and increase the limit of true energy...

Of course, even if you don't think about it, it is not an easy task to get the breath of the womb.

Many people think that breathing without breathing through the mouth and nose is like being in a fetus, but it is actually very different. The spirit of the fetus originates, and the rest resides in the heart. The nature of one's own mind cannot understand this truth. Being caught in it is like entering an illusion, holding on to illusions, and harming oneself without knowing it. Even if you understand this principle and force yourself to be deliberate, it is difficult to be content with your thoughts. If you don't stop, it will be in vain...

It can be seen that the breath of entering the womb can actually be encountered but cannot be sought.

Ling Lingxiu shook her head. Now that she had entered the fetal breathing state and had already mastered the true essence of Qi refining, she would naturally not make any mistakes or shake her foundation. There was no need for her to protect herself.

Even so, she couldn't leave quietly, so she had to go to the side and sit down, looking at Xu Heng in a daze.

The sun climbed into the sky and headed towards the west mountain. It had already exceeded the hour that Ling Lingxiu had set for Xu Heng.

Ling Lingxiu didn't feel bored, but she didn't know if the master would notice that she had sneaked out after such a long time... As she thought about it, Ling Lingxiu's thoughts inevitably went too far.

……

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a very slight movement. Ling Lingxiu came back to her senses, and then she realized that Xu Heng's chest and abdomen were rising and falling, he had begun to breathe, and his Qi was slowly receding like an ebbing tide.

"Wake up." Ling Lingxiu was thinking to herself when Xu Heng opened his eyes and stretched his body subconsciously. Suddenly, his movements seemed to draw a powerful bow! It seemed that every inch of the body was clanking with strength.

"This is..." Xu Heng couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, and abundant strength surged out, and a feeling of being cured of all his illnesses arose spontaneously.

At this moment, Xu Heng felt that he might have the strength of a thousand pounds. This was by no means an illusion, but the real power brought by the growth of his true energy.

"The third level of refining Qi." Xu Heng felt the Qi inside, and couldn't help but said to himself, his eyes showing surprise: "How could it be so fast?"

After this one time of refining Qi, not only did he embark on the path of cultivation again, he also made unexpected progress and even surpassed his previous cultivation level. Could it be that there is such a huge difference between the advanced Qi refining technique and the inferior Qi refining technique?
