Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 33 Introducing the spirit into the body
Kang Dabao didn't stay in Chongming City for long. He didn't have much free time. He still had a lot of things to do when he returned. He didn't have much time to waste on his cousin who didn't know the importance of the matter.

He drove the donkey cart with his three disciples back to the sect's headquarters and checked briefly to find that nothing was lost.

In fact, there was nothing to check. He had given all the valuables to his two junior brothers to carry with them, even some Taoist secret manuals in the sect.

The most valuable things are the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Although they are not magical instruments, they have been nourished by spiritual objects over the years and are considered pretty good things.

I chose an empty dormitory, cleaned it up briefly, and placed the training robot in place.
Then he put the small cloud formation back in its original place, and the sect was once again covered by light clouds and mist.

"It's really a divine method." Jin Shilun, who had never seen the world, looked at the clouds rising in front of him. Before he could finish his sigh, Han Yundao stood on tiptoe and knocked on his head, then led him into Kang Dabao's cloud room.

"I won't be leaving for a while, so you can practice in the sect with peace of mind. If you encounter something you don't understand, come and ask me."

The two children and the young boy all looked happy and nodded in agreement.

Kang Dabao first took out a Taoist scripture and gave it to Jin Shilun: "I will let your two senior brothers teach you how to lead the spirit into the body. It is a slow process. Don't rush it. Remember to relax and work hard. Recite the scriptures more in your spare time. There are annotations by the ancestors of our sect.

If you don't understand something, you need to ask your two brothers for advice. Don't think that chanting is useless. According to the founder of our sect, even among the Jindan ancestors, there are many who chant every day. I believe that there are benefits in it, and it will be of great benefit in the future."

Jin Shilun naturally bowed his head and respectfully accepted the instruction.

"As for you two, I will prepare a dose of Qiling Powder for you tonight. Go back and prepare first."

The two children couldn't hide their joy and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master!"

After sending the three disciples away, Kang Dabao took out the prescription for Qi Ling San and looked at it carefully.

Qi Ling San is originally a low-grade powder, and the prescription is very simple, so there is no need to read too much.

What Kang Dabao was reading carefully were actually the densely packed notes of various experiences that the sect's predecessors had attached to the prescriptions.

The biggest difference between a down-and-out sect cultivator like Kang Dabao and a low-level independent cultivator actually lies here.

An independent cultivator needs to figure out everything on his own, and the difficulty involved is difficult for people like the cultivators in a sect who have inherited the legacy of their predecessors to understand.

Take Qi Ling San for example. The prescription is very simple: "3 qian of Qingxincao (leaves removed), 2 liang of Zhuanlun fruit (peeled), Ganzhi (roasted); add 3 liters of morning dew water to the above three ingredients, boil until 2.5 liters are left, remove the residue, let stand for 3 quarters, and drink while cool."

If a casual cultivator follows a prescription to make a medicine, even if he gets one step right, it will most likely be difficult for him to succeed in one go.

Of course, there is no problem with the prescription itself.

Merchants would not have the courage to sell a prescription that would fail to succeed, as that would certainly ruin their own reputation. It’s just that the success rate of the prescription is very low.

The contents of the prescriptions purchased by the independent cultivators and those in the sect's collection are actually exactly the same.

But the prescriptions of casual practitioners will not have the following annotations: Qingxin grass has too much moisture, so it is best to use a flint knife or autumn wood knife to remove the leaves. When removing the leaves, you should go from the root to the tip, not from the tip to the root;

After peeling the wheel fruit, let it sit for 25 minutes, wrap it with an ink cloth, and then put it into the medicine cauldron;
If you use a flint knife to remove the leaves of Qingxin grass, you should roast it until the leaves turn yellow but the stems don't. If you use an autumn wood knife to remove the leaves, you should roast it until the stems turn yellow but the leaves don't.
When cooking the above three ingredients, use a low heat first, then high heat after boiling.
As for the final cold consumption, you can take Qi Ling San together with three grams of black snake seeds to increase the probability of successfully guiding the spirit into the body.

I will definitely not write about things that can barely be considered secrets.

If you follow the original prescription, the success rate of refining Qi Ling San will be one to two tenths.

If you refer to the experience of your predecessors, your success rate will increase to 60 to 70 percent.

If the person preparing the powder is well versed in pharmacology, the effect can be achieved in 80% to 90% of cases, or even without the possibility of failure.

Those with more advanced skills can deduce the refining method from the finished pills, and it is not difficult to further improve and perfect them.

The importance of knowledge is unquestionable in any world.

Apart from anything else, even if Kang Dabao read the notes one by one to some independent practitioners who had no knowledge of pharmacology, they would not understand at all.

They couldn't even tell the difference between an akiki sword and a flint sword.

It's just like in an open-book exam, if you write the formula in someone's hand, he still won't be able to figure out the answer.

This is a defeat at the root, so independent cultivators will never achieve anything in the David Immortal Dynasty.

The nuclear weapons that the big sects use to maintain their status include not only the numerous ancestors who have reached the Nascent Soul stage but also the more deadly monopoly on knowledge.

Even if there are some lucky independent cultivators who have achieved a Golden Elixir or Nascent Soul stage by chance, they will often look for a place to recruit disciples and establish a sect.

After dozens or hundreds of years, he will gradually regard himself as a monk of the sect, and bid farewell to his past self completely, and his status as a monk of the sect will be unshakable.

There are so many tricks to explore just for a low-level prescription, not to mention those panaceas that everyone in the cultivation world admires.

Therefore, even though these low-level books on the various arts of cultivation have spread throughout the cultivation world, and can be found everywhere in bookstores and magic pavilions in ordinary markets, there are still very few casual cultivators who have a special skill.

Because the cost of trial and error for independent cultivators is too high, even some of them are extremely talented, but without any opportunities, it is difficult for them to achieve anything. However, the art of cultivation in the sect is passed down in an orderly manner from generation to generation, becoming more and more perfect, so it is naturally easier to train disciples.

The independent cultivators who have special skills are often more famous than their counterparts from sects. The reason is probably not that the independent cultivators' skills are more advanced, but that they are rarer and more impressive.

This is not only true for the cultivation of the hundred arts, but it is even more true for the cultivation of one path.

If practicing Taoism is really as most casual practitioners think, that as long as there are sufficient resources and the practitioners themselves ignore hardships and obstacles and stick to their Tao heart, they can achieve something, then practicing Taoism would be too simple.

It means to upgrade the cultivation resources of a casual cultivator with the same conditions to that of a disciple of a large sect, if the former does not deepen his studies and has no other opportunities.

By the time Daozi becomes Nascent Soul, that casual cultivator may have just touched the threshold of Forming Core.

The final results of whether or not one has mastered a complete knowledge system in practice are completely different.

When Kang Dabao started practicing Taoism, although the Chongming Sect had already declined, there were still teachers and masters teaching him various skills, such as the transmission of skills, fasting and offering rituals, and various arts.

Although he had ordinary talents and no special skills, he had dabbled in the arts of cultivation since he was a child. In addition, the method of refining the Qi Ling Powder was not difficult, so he managed to make it in just half an afternoon.

The time, effort and material costs involved are negligible compared to those of a casual cultivator of the same level.

He divided the cooled amber powder into two portions and put them into jade bottles, then took out six qian of high-quality black snake seeds from the medicine box, and called Han Yundao and Duan Anle into the cloud room.

"Relax, it's just a matter of guiding the spirit into the body. It's such a simple thing, there's no way it can't be done." Kang Dabao said gently to dispel his disciple's nervousness.

The two children looked a little better, and following Kang Dabao's instructions, they took the Qi Ling Powder and the black snake seed, then closed their eyes and meditated.

Kang Dabao stood by, staring at the two children intently, and began to comfort himself in his heart.

Han Yundao is intelligent and Duan Anle is simple and honest. They have been practicing breathing exercises and training martial arts for more than three years.

Besides, although the Qi Ling Powder is not of high quality, it is not a common powder on the street. At least the powder used by my fellow disciples back then was far inferior to the Qi Ling Powder, but it was successful, wasn't it?
Half an hour later, a ray of light flashed from Han Yundao's sky gate first, followed by Duan Anle. Seeing this, Kang Dabao showed joy on his face.

The spiritual energy around him turned into smoke and began to be slowly drawn into Erxiao's body by the spiritual light. Erxiao's face began to show a refreshed look, and then black and smelly substances began to slowly precipitate from the pores all over his body.

This is the process of guiding the soul into the body. The spiritual energy begins to purify the mortal body. At this step, it depends on whether Erxiao can withstand the irrigation of the spiritual energy. If he can't bear it, he may suffer some hidden injuries, which will also hinder his second entry into the soul.

Once the gate of heaven opens and the mortal body is shed, once these two steps are completed, the immortals are separated from the mortals. Even if one is only a cultivator at the first level of Qi training for a lifetime, he is still an immortal master that all the mortals in the world envy.

"Disciple Han Yundao greets Master." Han Yundao did not disappoint anyone, and the whole process went extremely smoothly.

Kang Dabao smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Duan Anle. Only half a minute later, Duan Anle also felt the spiritual power flowing through his body and opened his eyes.

Seeing Han Yundao and Kang Dabao looking at him together, after the joy, he felt a little disappointed: "Anle greets Master and Senior Brother!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Go take a shower first, and come back to me tomorrow morning. Fortunately, you didn't waste all the spiritual medicines that I refined with so many spiritual stones, otherwise you will see how I will deal with you!"

Kang Dabao couldn't hide his excitement, and he laughed and patted his two apprentices on the head.

From a certain perspective, taking in apprentices and having children are actually the same thing. What we are all seeking is just the four words "successors".

From then on, Kang Dabao had a successor.

It’s been a long time since I felt this happy. Even when I picked up so many storage bags before, I was never this happy.

"By the way, remember to teach Shi Lun how to roast pork elbow after taking a bath," Kang Dabao said before he drove his two apprentices out of the door and closed it.

"Junior brother?" Han Yundao, regardless of the dirt on his body, pretended to straighten his Taoist robe, cleared his throat, tilted his head and looked at Duan Anle with a wicked smile.

"Senior Brother." Duan Anle looked a little frustrated.

"Junior brother——"

"Senior brother."

"Junior brother——"

"Brother!"

"Junior brother, haha, remember, we are always senior brothers and always junior brothers."

"Yes, we are lifelong senior brothers! Lifelong junior brothers!"

　Thank you for your support. I will take the train back to Ningbo tomorrow, so I may not be able to update then. Please forgive me.
