The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 2 Life Qi
After being questioned continuously by Li Ke, Li Yan returned to his own courtyard.

Father Li is now in Wu'an Prefecture next to Hengjiang Prefecture discussing business. Although the second sister has sent a letter, it is estimated that she will not return until at least tomorrow.

As for his elder sister Li Meng, she has loved martial arts since childhood and is a good martial artist. She has never married. Now she has changed her name and is wandering around the world, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Although Li Ke sent out a message, it was unknown when he would get the news.

Li Yan returned to the room, asked the maid to leave, closed the doors and windows, and took out the booklet given to him by the old Taoist.

I saw the four words "Life-preserving Method" written crookedly on the pages of the booklet.

The corner of Li Yan's mouth twitched. This was obviously copied by hand, perhaps by the Taoist himself.

He opened the first page and at least he could read the words clearly.

"Humans have three souls and seven spirits, each with its own name. The three souls are Tai Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing."

"The seven spirits are the dead dog, the hidden arrow, the sparrow's vagina, the swallowing of thieves, the non-poison, the removal of filth, and the stinking lungs."

"The three souls and seven spirits each have their own functions. After a mortal has passed the life calamity, he can sense the three souls and seven spirits. Refining the life energy, using the life energy to fix the three souls and point to the seven spirits, can strengthen the soul and refine the spirit, and increase life."

"Until you become an immortal through cultivation."

Li Yan's eyes flickered, his heart was filled with joy, and his heart beat rapidly with excitement.

There is no doubt that this is a method of spiritual practice.

He continued to look down.

What follows is the method of overcoming life disasters, refining the life energy between heaven and earth, and practicing the life energy.

If you want to refine your life energy, you need to sense the three souls and seven spirits first.

If you want to sense the three souls and seven spirits, you need to survive the catastrophe first.

Fate disasters refer to the disasters that people encounter in the process of growing up. All of them are extremely dangerous. If one cannot survive them, the body and soul will be destroyed.

Although fate calamity is dangerous, there is always a way out. People also have ways to avoid, transform and overcome calamity.

Only by surviving disasters can one see the truth.

If one cultivates vital energy and awakens the seven spirits, he can be called a true person; if one calms the three souls, he can be called a true master.

A method of avoiding disasters is recorded in the method of nourishing life. It is said that the mansions of large families are all protected by the family fortune, which can cover up life disasters and thus achieve the purpose of avoiding disasters.

Of course, if the fate calamity is too great and the family fortune cannot suppress it, it may even cause backlash.

Li Yan also understood what the old Taoist meant when he told him not to go out for the next few days before he left. He thought that he knew that his fate was imminent, so he wanted him to use the Li family's luck to cover up and avoid this disaster, so that he could see the truth after experiencing it.

Those Taoists like to recruit orphans, probably because these orphans have already experienced life tribulations and can directly refine and practice life energy.

"The old Taoist priest said that my fate has not come yet, but I was once killed by the black sun and black light. Could it be that I have survived the fate?"

Li Yan thought in his heart.

He had a vivid memory of the Black Sun disaster that he had experienced that day.

He felt that anyone who was illuminated by the black sun and black light would probably be scared to death.

In fact, it was not only the predecessor who died in the Black Sun disaster. Several servants in the Li family were killed by the black light of the Black Sun because they were not paying attention.

Thinking of this, Li Yan sat down cross-legged and tried to sense the three souls and seven spirits according to the method of sensing in the life-nourishing method.

Unexpectedly.

Li Yan just wanted to give it a try, but in just a moment, he sensed three active little people and seven quiet black shadows in his body.

A success!
Li Yan had a look of shock on his face and was excited in his heart, but at the same time he also had an extremely weird feeling.

But no matter what, he sensed the three souls and seven spirits, and had the foundation for cultivating life energy.

Li Yan was very much looking forward to this method which obviously possessed extraordinary powers.

In this obviously very strange world, only by possessing extraordinary powers can he have the capital to protect himself and his family. After sensing the three souls and seven spirits, Li Yan felt the changes in himself.

His five senses have been greatly improved.

It’s like a nearsighted person wearing glasses and feeling the world more clearly.

At the same time, he looked carefully and sensed a wisp of reddish life energy wandering between heaven and earth.

Everything in the world loses its life force at every moment.

When the life energy is completely dissipated, one will die.

And the traces of life energy that escape can be refined by the practitioner and become his own life energy to light up the seven spirits and calm the three souls.

However, human beings have seven emotions and six desires, which lead to many impurities in their life energy that are difficult to refine. Therefore, many practitioners will live in seclusion in deep mountains and old forests. Refining the life energy of flowers, plants, birds and animals is much simpler than refining human life energy.

Li Yan obviously does not have the conditions to go into the mountains to practice at the moment, and can only refine the life energy emitted by people in this crowd.

He concentrated his mind and began to practice the method of refining his life energy.

However, it wasn't long before he stopped.

In his body, a wisp of reddish life energy flickered in the darkness like a faint candle flame, causing the seven silent black shadows to move involuntarily.

"So simple?"

Li Yan was a little confused.

Isn't it said that the life energy that escapes from the human body is difficult to refine? Why didn't he feel it?

"Three hundred and sixty-five strands of life energy make up one strand. Only after you refine a complete strand of life energy can you light up the first soul."

"Even if I practice at my current speed for four hours a day, I can refine a complete life energy. But I don't know how many life energies I need to completely light up the first soul. If I need 365 life energies to completely light up the first soul, it will take a year, or even longer. It will take even longer. From this point of view, maybe this is not fast after all."

"Forget it. The Li family is big and powerful. I'll see if I can find a way to speed up the refining of life energy. If not, I'll move to the mountains."

Li Yan calmed down. No matter what, it would be better to refine a life energy and light up the first soul first.

……

"I don't know if that kid can survive this catastrophe."

The old Taoist's face was beaming with joy, having received so many silver bills. He also spent money to buy dozens of materials for alchemy, and was very satisfied with the deal made by the Li family.

Once he makes the elixir, maybe he will be able to refine the forty-third life energy quickly and initially light up the fourth soul.

One soul completes seven life energies, two souls complete twenty-one life energies, and three souls complete forty-two life energies.

The old Taoist has achieved perfect cultivation of the three spirits.

The further you advance in your practice, the more life energy you will need to light up the seven souls. To light up all seven souls, a total of one hundred and ninety-six life energies are required.

One life energy is equal to one year's cultivation.

One hundred and ninety-six life energies, which means one hundred and ninety-six years of Taoism.

It takes an ordinary practitioner a year of hard practice to refine a life energy and gain one year of Taoism practice.

It is completely impossible to light up all seven souls in one's lifetime through hard practice alone.

Only with the help of elixirs or other treasures that can enhance one's cultivation, will there be a chance to light up the seven souls.

This does not include the later stage of settling the three souls, the level of cultivation required is unimaginable.

The old Taoist has now successfully refined an elixir. Although it is not as good as the life-energy elixir refined by those big sects, it should also be able to improve one's Taoism.

Even with the help of elixirs, he might not be able to become a true person who lights up the seven spirits.

But there is a chance to light up the five spirits and become a great wizard.
