Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 183: Thirty-six thousand gods in my body! Qiu Zu
"Boss Baishu, what did the young master suddenly realize? What a huge noise!"

Little Zaozi opened his mouth wide, and the already exaggerated face on the tree stump became even more exaggerated.

Bai Zhu was also a little excited.

As the two little guys were surprised, Qiu Zhen's low mumbling voice was heard from the valley.

"I regard the sky as my father and the earth as my mother. I live in the middle, always like a newborn baby. The sun is the official, and the moon is the chief clerk. The messenger of Thunder is on my left and right, and the wind master and rain master are in front and behind me. The six Jia direct symbols surround my body. The Azure Dragon supports me on the left, and the White Tiger supports me on the right. The Vermillion Bird leads me in front, and the Black Tortoise follows me behind. The Big Dipper covers my head, and the Heavenly Gang points to my feet. The Teng Snake is in my hand, and it eliminates disasters for me."

As Qiu Zhen murmured, the noise in the valley became louder and louder, with clouds and mist rolling in and the weather becoming majestic.

The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, the Vermillion Bird, the God of Thunder and the God of Wind. All kinds of strange phenomena appeared one by one.

Just as Baizhu and Xiaozaozi were astonished, suddenly, a gust of mountain wind passed by.

"Huhuhu~"

The mountain wind swept through, and the clouds and mist in the valley were blown away in an instant. The various and unpredictable phenomena in the clouds and mist disappeared into thin air in an instant.

Perhaps sensing the changes in the outside world, Qiu Zhen, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding valley. A look of regret appeared on his face.

"Pity."

"Huhuhu~"

The two little guys came hurriedly.

Seeing the regret on Qiu Zhen's face, Bai Zhu felt ashamed and guilty:
"Master, I was distracted just now and didn't pay attention. I failed to dispel the mountain wind in time, which disturbed your enlightenment."

It has the blood of the Wind and Thunder Fox and has the ability to control the wind. It is fully capable of blocking the sudden mountain wind that just swept in, or even changing its direction.

"Nothing to do with you."

Qiu Zhen shook his head. He was indeed regretful at first, but after a moment of clarity and looking inward, he suddenly became clear-headed and felt fortunate:

"My body and soul are withered now, and it is difficult to continue. The meditation and enlightenment I just did was too exhausting. If I continue to force myself to comprehend, I am afraid that I will hurt my essence, which is not good. It is a good thing to wake up in time."

"Oh~"

Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately, out of curiosity, asked:
"Master, did you have a sudden enlightenment? Just now, Xiao Zaozi and I saw all kinds of strange phenomena, including the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, the Vermillion Bird, the Thunder God, and the Wind God. Could that be the phenomenon of the innate inner scene?"

"Yes and no!"

Qiu Zhen shook his head and explained:
"The so-called inner scene is the image of the flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs in the body. You can see them all. Naturally, it is not the innate inner scene, but a reflection in the water, a mere illusion."

One's own family knows one's own affairs.

Qiu Zhen has profound attainments in alchemy and his character is also not bad. He broke through the late stage of refining essence into Qi and reached the realm of "inner scenes born from the body and wandering spiritual Qi" without any bottleneck. The only obstacle is that his cultivation progresses too fast and his physical body transformation cannot keep up.

After all, one cannot become fat in one bite.

With the silent passage of time, his breakthrough was a natural thing. There was no need to rush.

Although he had not achieved a breakthrough at this moment, his sudden enlightenment was closely related to his "innate inner scene".

"Sir, what is that vision?"

"That is the Tao, my way of cultivation."

Qiu Zhen said leisurely:
"There are 36,000 gods in the human body, three souls on the left, seven spirits on the right, 1,200 shapes and shadows in the body, and 12,000 essences in the body. The five internal organs and six bowels, the 24 gods, do not let them leave the body, and then their true nature will descend. This is the way of the Supreme Golden Elixir."

Atractylodes macrocephala, jujube: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"

The two little guys seemed to understand but didn't quite understand.

Seeing the two little guys looking confused, Qiu Zhen smiled and did not explain, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Just now, his mind was clear, and he was enlightened unconsciously. He inadvertently comprehended the wonders of alchemy and sensed all kinds of "inner scenes". Then, through the dispersion of his spiritual consciousness, he saw the scene of strange phenomena in the valley.

After this sudden realization, he finally understood vaguely why his master An Jishi was stuck in the "innate inner realm" and had been unable to break through.

The inner tunnel can only be observed by those who look back.

No matter it is Dandao practice or martial arts practice, once you have practiced to a certain level, you will be able to look inward (reflect) on the internal organs and meridian tunnels.

The "inner scene" is full of wonders.

It is said that there are 36,000 gods, 1,200 shadows and forms in the human body, and the skin, flesh, bones, internal organs and meridians are all guarded by gods, giving birth to mysteries and presenting thousands of "inner scenes".

When someone has reached the right stage in their practice and their spirit is focused, a lotus will naturally appear in the alchemist's abdomen. Red symbolizes true yang and green represents vitality. A pink lotus blooms in the red abdominal cavity. This is what alchemists call the inner scene of "planting lotus in fire". It is exactly "If you don't know the mystery of the upside down, how can you know that it is easy to plant lotus in fire".

For example, when the innate Qi is used to interact with yin and yang, one kidney turns into the sun and the other turns into the moon. The sun and the moon shine together, and water and fire are in harmony. This is the inner scene of "the sun and the moon in the sky".

All kinds of things.

When one has cultivated to a certain level, one will experience inner scenes that are quite miraculous.

Some people go through untold hardships and work hard, only to be able to sense one or two "inner scenes", while others can sense several or even dozens of "inner scenes" at once, and so on.

Whether in the world of cultivating immortals or in the martial arts world, most people’s attitude towards “inner scene” is “quality is more important than quantity” and “biting off more than you can chew”.

Some people cultivate an "inner scene" on their own, using this inner scene to illuminate the heaven and earth, opening up the bridge between heaven and man, entering the realm of "refining qi into spirit", and becoming a martial arts master or a cultivator of the primordial spirit.

Some people also cultivate several kinds of "inner scenes" to form a system.
This is the so-called "school of practice" or "path of practice".

In fact, whether the “amount of internal scenery” is good or bad is a matter of opinion in the outside world.

It is easier to become a "martial arts master" by specializing in a "single inner scene", but the potential is not as good as that of "many inner scenes".

All the Martial Saints born in the Great Zhou Dynasty practiced "Multiple Inner Scenes". There were many "Inner Scenes" and they formed a system.

Master An Jishi also practices “the inner scenes of all”.

Moreover, Pharmacist An is even more ambitious, he wants to melt hundreds of scenes and open up his own path of cultivation.

"It seems that I have to follow the same path as Master and embark on the path of pioneering cultivation."

Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, feeling expectant.

After his sudden realization today, he could vaguely sense at least dozens of kinds of inner spiritual light, which could be described as magnificent.

Others say that "you can't chew too much, quality is more important than quantity", but he doesn't have to worry about that.

He awakened his primordial spirit and Dharma body, possessed the [Tian Yan Forty-nine Divine Pearls], was not afraid of encountering bottlenecks, and opened up the "Heart Lord Dharma Vein", so he was not worried about the shortage of "cultivation resources".

To some extent, he was born to open up the "path of cultivation".

“There are 36,000 spirits in my body. I wonder if one day I can cultivate them all and make my body one with the Tao.”

Qiu Zhen couldn't help but feel excited.

Of course, although he had expectations in his heart, he did not aim too high, but kept his feet on the ground.

Apart from anything else, if one wants to cultivate to become one of the “Thirty-six Thousand Gods”, “Spiritual Essence” is essential.

When he thought of this, Qiu Zhen thought of something, and casually reached into his sleeve and took out the [Miro Palace].

As soon as the jade talisman was taken out, aura burst out.

Qiu Zhen opened his mouth, looking stunned:
“Wow, so much news.”

They must be very anxious.

When Qiu Zhen saw the [Miro Palace] flashing with spiritual light, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Fairy Yunrou, Monk Zhenkong, and Yu Chanzi have sent him hundreds of telepathic messages in the past two days, almost every day, every once in a while.

As for other heart meridian cultivators, if there is a way to contact him, it is probably the same.

He was not surprised at all.

After he took out the "Spiritual Essence" to reward the Heart Meridian monk, he had a premonition that it would cause a sensation. The wonders of the "Spiritual Essence" were known to anyone who used it.

Any cultivator who sees the "essence of spiritual energy" will be excited or even crazy.

He was happy to see this scene.

On the day when the "Seal of the Heart Lord" was completed, it attracted the "Giant Palm that Covers the Sky", triggering a huge killing calamity. He almost died. At that time, he deeply understood that he had accidentally touched upon some kind of taboo.

And, there seems to be no turning back.

"The heart is the master of all meridians" and its fate shares the same destiny with it. They prosper and suffer together.

It was also because of this that he took out the powerful weapon "Spiritual Essence".

On the one hand, he encourages the "heart meridian disciples" to help him eliminate demons and help him "work" to earn "spiritual essence". On the other hand, he also has the intention of cultivating and strengthening the "heart master lineage".

Complement each other and achieve a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhen did not hesitate, and his consciousness sank into the [Miro Palace] to invite Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong Qiu.

Miaomiao Fairy Palace.

After only ten breaths, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong came together without giving Qiu Zhen any time to wait.

It was obvious that the two had been waiting for him to contact them.

"Qingwei, you finally came out."

"Buddha has mercy on me, Qingwei, you are being partial. How could you forget about this little monk when you have such a good thing as the essence of spiritual energy?"

Qiu Zhen was sitting on the clouds in mid-air. When he saw the impetuous Fairy Yun Rou and the monk with a resentful look on his face, a smile appeared on his lips:
"Don't worry, I'll need you in the future."

After hearing this, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong breathed a sigh of relief, smiled brightly, and were filled with joy.

The beauty of "Aura Essence" is self-evident.

I’m afraid that the “essence of spiritual energy” is extremely difficult to obtain.

In other words, it is obtained by chance and cannot be obtained continuously.

Now, listening to Qingwei's words, it seems that there are traces and methods to obtain the "essence of spiritual energy".
If we can obtain the "essence of spiritual energy" continuously, the strategic significance will be different.

This is extremely amazing good news not only for them, but also for the entire "Heart Master Lineage".

"Qingwei, where does your spiritual essence come from?"

Fairy Yunrou finished speaking, perhaps she thought of something and added:
"Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

"Nothing inconvenient to say."

"Spiritual essence is spiritual essence. Speaking of which, it was thanks to you two that you told me that the blood-colored crystal left by the demon was pure spiritual essence. It is a great elixir for people like me who practice Taoism. Refining the essence can greatly increase our cultivation."

Qiu Zhen smiled, half-truthfully, and made an excuse:
“Before, I had no power, but after opening up the Heart Lord Meridian, I suddenly had the ability to refine evil thoughts and refine the essence of spiritual energy.”

"Ah~"

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong heard the truth, opened their mouths, and were extremely shocked.

The "essence of spiritual energy" really does come from the "devil from outside the domain", the most yang and positive energy nurtured from the most yin and evil.

The two of them, including a group of cultivators from the Heart Master lineage, first thought that the "essence of spiritual energy" came from the devil from outside the domain.

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was immediately rejected.

In the beginning, there were seniors in the world of immortal cultivation who had similar ideas. Many old monsters used the "spiritual light" to refine the "spiritual essence", but they were unable to refine pure spiritual essence.

Many old monsters almost went insane because of this.

Qingwei was able to accomplish what even the old monster Yuanshen couldn't.

At that moment, the two of them finally understood why Qingwei was so determined at the beginning, and even the "Giant Palm Covering the Sky" could not shake his will.

The [Heart Monkey God General’s Great Method] was widely spread, and summoning the [Heart Monkey God General] could not only protect the heart meridian cultivators, but also bring in an endless supply of “spiritual essence” after beheading the “devil”.

"Fellow Daoist Qingwei, you are so courageous. You are able to pull chestnuts out of the fire, balance water and fire, and control yin and yang. I admire you!"

Monk Zhenkong chanted the Buddha's name and expressed his heartfelt emotion.

Yin and Yang are one, good and evil are one, everyone knows that the "essence of spiritual energy" left behind by the devil after his death is a treasure, but these days, no one can dig it out.

And now, someone can refine the "essence of spiritual energy", which is extremely subversive for the entire world of immortal cultivation.

"It's a loss, it's a loss."

Fairy Yunrou was surprised and slapped her thighs, her face full of pain:

"Spiritual essence and spiritual crystals are so useful. I threw away a lot of them privately at the beginning. It was really a waste."

If the "essence of spiritual energy" is not restrained by spiritual consciousness, it will easily dissipate and be difficult to preserve.

"Spirit crystal" is easy to preserve, but it requires one's own Dantian and sea of ​​consciousness as a container. Spirit crystal is tainted with evil nature, and if it exists in the body, it is likely to leave hidden dangers and bring disaster.

In addition, in the world of immortal cultivation, "Spirit Crystals" are not very valuable.

Generally speaking, unless they are practicing magic such as mechanical puppets that will be needed soon, ordinary cultivators will not deliberately retain the "spiritual crystals". They will often discard them immediately and expel them from the body to avoid any harm.

"Hahaha!"

Qiu Zhen laughed in surprise. He understood the market situation and was not surprised by Fairy Yunrou's reaction. He smiled and comforted her:
"In the future, if you kill the evil thoughts and evil generals, you can give me the spiritual essence and spiritual crystals you get. I will help you refine them, and we can share the spiritual essence afterwards."

Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong were delighted when they heard this.

"Qingwei, given our friendship, you will definitely not treat us unfairly, right?"

"That's natural."

Qiu Zhen agreed immediately, but then changed his tone and said:

"However, refining the essence of spiritual energy is quite exhausting for me, so I don't want to waste my time. In my imagination, the Heart Monkey Talisman is divided into three grades: [Heaven, Earth, and Man]. I will take nine of the [Man Talisman] and he will take one, I will take eight of the [Earth Talisman] and he will take two, and I will take seven of the [Heaven Talisman] and he will take three. The two of you will start with the highest [Heaven Talisman], so I will take seven and you will take three."

"Qingwei, we are the elders of the Heart Master lineage. We have been friends for many years. You should give us some preferential treatment, right?"

Fairy Yunrou looked resentful.

The monk Zhenkong, who always seemed to have no desires, also nodded heavily:
"Qingwei, how about you work harder and we split the profit 50-50? We are the veterans."

"This"

Qiu Zhen looked embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head:
"If a 50-50 split doesn't work, let's go for 60-40. I'll split 60 and you'll split 40. This is the final bottom line."

"it is good!"

Upon seeing this, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong responded in unison, looking secretly delighted.

Seeing this, Qiu Zhen secretly laughed in his heart.

He originally wanted to give the two of them preferential treatment by splitting the profits 60:40, but he did not say it at the first time. Instead, he let things take their course and had a short tug of war with them.

Since ancient times, the true feelings have not been retained, and only the routines have won the hearts of the people.

The first thing he said was "60-40", not giving Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong any advantage. The two of them must have felt uncomfortable.

This time, everyone is happy.

After a moment of surprise, Fairy Yunrou and Monk Zhenkong quickly came to their senses, put aside their selfish thoughts, and imagined the future of the "Heart Master Lineage", and their hearts could not help but become excited.

The two of them took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at Qiu Zhen:
"Qingwei, from today onwards, everyone who sees you will call you Qiu Zu!"
