Chapter 313 Using Qi to Control Objects, Capturing Dragons and Controlling Cranes

This Great Wisdom and Love Sutra is quite something.

No wonder Kumarajiva dared to say he could attain enlightenment and great joy. However, in Duncan's opinion, it was still lacking because the 'Highest Yoga Tantra' was not complete.

The Western Regions monk, unable to obtain the true supreme yoga method, created his own version of yoga.

"It is very difficult to become a Buddha of Joy, but if one cultivates to the highest level, there is indeed a chance to become a Arhat of Joy."

"This can already be considered a path to immortality and Buddhahood."

Duncan's consciousness returned to his human form, and as his consciousness returned, the state of blessing from the first stage of the Great Wisdom and Love Sutra began to fluctuate again.

If consciousness returns to a higher dimension, then the cultivation efficiency is 1000%, which should be the limit of the first realm, the Sea of ​​Desire. However, if Duncan's consciousness returns, then the fluctuation value is between 400% and 600%.

He used a dimensional cheat to first reach the highest realm, and then used that highest realm to adapt to the cultivation process that was blocked.

During this process, Duncan's personal training efficiency also slowly increased, eventually stabilizing at around 600%.

One night was equivalent to nearly ten days of ascetic practice in the past.

There are many strange and secret techniques in this world. Some techniques involve circulating extraordinary meridians to greatly increase the efficiency of true qi circulation. Some techniques require the assistance of elixirs to enhance the efficiency of refining essence into qi with external forces. Other techniques require incantations and meditation to enhance one's cultivation efficiency through spiritual methods, divine blessings, and external yin energy.

There are even some extraordinary feats that require extraordinary talent and the burning of one's own lifespan to break through realms and achieve a refinement efficiency of ten or even dozens of times that of ordinary people.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that mortals have a limited lifespan.

If one only cultivates the small circulation of Qi through the Ren and Du meridians, a day of arduous practice is merely the basic threshold. It would take at least sixty years to have a chance to become a master of the innate realm, and even then, it would only be a chance.

But how many people can endure sixty years of arduous practice day and night?
The profound internal cultivation methods all seek nothing more than the word 'efficiency'. The Great Heavenly Circuit is dozens of times stronger than the Small Heavenly Circuit, and the circulation of the Extraordinary Meridians is several times stronger than the Ren and Du Circulation. On this basis, with the help of elixirs and external objects, breakthroughs in mental state, rare and precious materials, and various strange and unusual techniques, one has a chance to cultivate a profound level of cultivation that allows one to break through to the Dao realm.

The 'mental breakthrough' sought by top masters is actually a constant state of positive blessing.

Once this buff is applied, cultivation efficiency will double.

"No wonder the Jade-Faced Lady said her secret technique requires tempering one's heart in the mortal world!"

Duncan's other skills are unclear at the moment, but in terms of internal strength, he is probably already considered a master of his time.

Efficiency is paramount.

Then one can consider the effects of different internal energy cultivation methods in actual combat. For example, changing the five elements of the human body to the five elements of true qi to achieve different kinds of true qi can produce moves such as the Frost Palm, the Crimson Flame Palm, and the Burning Wood Blade.

Some poison-based internal energy cultivation methods require the use of external aids to circulate one's liver and spleen meridians, first training oneself to be immune to all poisons; otherwise, the poison-based internal energy cultivation methods simply cannot be practiced.

The Five Immortals Sect's poison-based martial arts techniques, to put it bluntly, are simply using poisons as elixirs.

"The Great Wisdom Love Sutra seeks to enhance one's state of mind, using breakthroughs in one's state of mind to greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation."

"However, this is only the first stage."

"If it's the Yin-Yang union of the second realm, it probably involves some of the secret techniques of 'sexual cultivation'."

This technique has one major drawback.

That is, even though Kumarajiva created his own cultivation method, he did not achieve great success and did not enter the realm of 'emptiness and wondrous existence'. It is just that finding a good furnace for cultivation in this realm is equivalent to several months or even half a year of hard work for ordinary people.

Therefore, the furnace and cauldron are also very important.

Those masters of Tantric Buddhism, if they used women from ordinary herder families as their sexual partners, would certainly be no match for the Jade-Faced Goddess and the enchanting women around her.

"Therefore, this cultivation efficiency is highly dynamic!"

"That's also why."

"Only those demonic sects who practice yin-yang replenishment would be so eager to capture the Jade-Faced Lady."

However, as long as you enter a meditative state, you can achieve a cultivation efficiency of 200%, which far exceeds most internal energy cultivation methods. Moreover, it has an additional special blessing state after breaking through to a higher realm.

— "Pure True Qi (Qi Breaking): Your true qi is refined by your mental state, becoming increasingly pure. When fighting others, you can easily penetrate the protective true qi of those below the Innate Realm."

It feels a bit like a special 'penetration' effect in a game.

Duncan still needs to explore a bit more, after all, he has only just broken through to the next level and has not yet cultivated to a high level.

"As long as your internal strength is strong enough, you can gradually improve your techniques."

The night passed.

When Duncan opened his eyes and awoke from his meditation, the true energy within his body was equivalent to half a month of arduous training. He discovered that even in the meditative state of "Compassionate Voyage in the Sea of ​​Desire," he was able to circulate his true energy to absorb the surrounding malevolent energy.

When Lu Shanjun first taught him the basics, he didn't explain things clearly. It wasn't until today, when he comprehended the superior internal energy cultivation method, that he truly improved his internal energy skills.

Lu Shanjun is a demon in human form, with innate talent far surpassing that of ordinary people. His physical constitution is terrifyingly strong, but his internal cultivation is also a complete mess.

"So, enlightenment seeks the blessing of a certain state of mind, while physical constitution seeks the refinement of essence into qi."

"I roughly know what the basic elements of creating my own internal energy cultivation method are."

"This world still possesses spiritual energy."

"If the internal cultivation method cannot reach the corresponding state of mind and directly draw spiritual energy from the outside world, then one can only refine essence into qi from within, which requires very high physical constitution."

In other words, one must be in very good physical condition.

"That's why many people never have the chance to enter the Tao in their entire lives."

"Superior internal energy cultivation methods must be developed in two ways, as many martial arts have no inherent chance of breaking through to the Dao realm."

Human lifespan is no more than a hundred years, making it extremely difficult to cultivate to the profound level of the Dao realm.

A soft sound of footsteps approached.

When Duncan looked up, the radiant Jade-Faced Lady had already pushed open the door and entered. Behind her were two beautiful maids, one carrying bird's nest porridge and the other carrying nourishing medicinal dishes, clearly intending to give the young man a good boost.

"Son."

"Please have your meal."

Yin Meitang respectfully placed the medicinal food on the table, her face no longer displaying the alluring charm of the previous night. The other maids were the same; normally, they wouldn't even dare to cast a flirtatious glance.

Just as the Jade-Faced Lady was about to pick up the spoon, she used her delicate hands to stir the soup and personally feed it to the young man.

Unexpectedly, the young man opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He then gently raised his hand, and true energy flowed and gathered in his palm, like a vortex. The bowl of medicinal food flew directly into his palm without spilling a drop.

"Dragon-Capturing Skill?!"

The Jade-Faced Lady looked up in surprise, staring in astonishment at the young man whose eyes had grown increasingly deep, like a starry sea. She asked in confusion, "When did you master the Dragon-Capturing Skill, young master?"

The boy picked up the spoon, took a bite, nodded in satisfaction, and said calmly, "It's not the Dragon-Capturing Technique."

"It's just ordinary manipulation of objects with qi."

what?
Can controlling objects with qi be considered a common method?
The Jade-Faced Lady was even more surprised and sincerely congratulated him, saying, "Young Master's true energy is becoming more and more refined."

The term "pure" refers not only to purity but also to the ability to control one's own internal energy.

Previously, Duncan could only control his true energy as it went wherever it pleased, and his true energy had to learn to move on its own. But now, his true energy arrives whenever he thinks of it, with meticulous detail, every single strand under his control.

A breakthrough in mindset can enhance the perception of Qi.

Many advanced martial arts, such as the Dragon-Capturing Skill, require pure internal energy; otherwise, they cannot be mastered.

The young man had only just begun to grasp the art of controlling objects with qi.

As if he had received a new toy, after breakfast he went straight to the courtyard, looked at the sword hanging on the wall, his true energy surged and gathered in the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, then condensed in his palm, he grasped it from a distance, made a sword incantation, and the long sword was unsheathed and flew directly into his palm.

The sword technique he was using was actually useless; it was just for show. True Taoist sword techniques have additional enhancements, but he had not yet comprehended the secrets of Taoism.

hum!
The blade trembled slightly.

The longsword in the boy's hand flew out, soaring several feet into the air and severing a tree branch. The sword then spun, trying to fly back to his palm, but because his intention was not in accordance with his inner energy, his control over the sword decreased significantly after his true energy left his body, and the longsword fell directly into the pond in the courtyard.

The Jade-Faced Lady sat in a pavilion to the side, playing the zither and observing. At this moment, she raised her beautiful head, like a fairy, and said softly, "Does the young master wish to comprehend the flying sword technique of the Daoist sect?" This method, this sword technique, is clearly the method of flying sword technique.

The boy nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "Controlling objects with qi is possible, but performing flying sword techniques would be very difficult."

"Becoming a sword immortal of this era is not so easy."

Dragon-Capturing Skill.

As the two were talking, the boy casually made a grasping motion, and the water in the pond gathered into a ball, but it failed to pull up the longsword that had fallen to the bottom of the pond.

—Mysterious Yin Cold Ice Finger.

The Jade-Faced Lady raised her hand and pointed, unleashing a burst of extremely Yin energy. The chilling aura caused the water ball condensed by the young man's energy to freeze instantly into ice. The fist-sized ice ball fell into her palm, causing him to look up in surprise at her.

This is no less than magic.

"If you wish to comprehend the secret technique, young master..."

"I do know some Taoist techniques."

As the Jade-Faced Goddess spoke, she plucked the strings of her zither, causing the surrounding scenery to sway. Then, as if trapped in an illusion, everything the young man saw was completely different, as if he had entered the demoness's spiritual realm.

"This is a spiritual secret technique, a method used by both the demonic and magical sects to cast illusions and create shapes."

"When cultivated to a high level, it becomes the legendary Soul-Seizing Technique in the martial arts world!"

The boy's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty aura. The moment he opened his eyes, he was back in reality. However, the Jade-Faced Lady had already gotten up and appeared in front of him. The strings of the zither were still vibrating, but her slender finger had already touched the space between his eyebrows.

A master of external martial arts, protected by protective qi, is not so easily killed by a single finger strike, but an ordinary martial arts expert would probably be dead by now.

"Then how does your finger strength technique work?"

Duncan was very interested in fingering techniques, after all, he had some experience with them before.

The Jade-Faced Lady imparted all her knowledge without reservation.

Within a few quarters of an hour, he had already grasped the essence, but since his true energy was different, he couldn't imitate the Xuan Yin Finger Force. So Duncan circulated his true energy and evil energy into the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, and finally, his true energy burst forth, and an invisible sword energy pierced through the pavilion, leaving a dent more than three inches deep on the stone pillar.

"What domineering finger-force sword energy!"

The Jade-Faced Lady gasped in shock.

If this were applied to someone from a distance, unless they were a master of external martial arts, they would likely leave a bloody hole with just one finger.

The boy's fingertip changed from the Shaoshang acupoint to the Shangyang acupoint. The instant his index finger was extended, an invisible sword aura ripped through the sky, knocking down a sparrow flying over the roof. The sword aura pierced the bird's body, leaving a bloody hole one centimeter in diameter.

However, the Shangyang acupoint is not as powerful as the Shaoshang acupoint, after all, the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin is its primary meridian and the first of the twelve primary meridians to be opened.

"No wonder the Six Meridians Divine Sword cannot be used in succession!"

"This consumes too much internal energy."

Since it was a forced imitation without any corresponding methods of absorbing energy, Duncan's energy expenditure was extremely high, comparable to the explosive release of all his true energy gathered in one place.

This is what it means to have one's internal energy cultivation reached a certain level of perfection.

Although it consumed several times his true energy, he did manage to mimic some of the effects of flying sword techniques and the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

If it were just the One-Finger Divine Skill, it wouldn't be a burden for him.

After all, he could seize other people's cultivation and condense evil energy, so he still had the power of a hundred or two hundred years.

However, if one wants to become an immortal, attain enlightenment, or become a Buddha or ancestor, even a hundred or two hundred years of cultivation is probably not enough. Even setting aside realms, the cultivation of an Arhat in Buddhism would likely require hundreds of years of arduous practice to achieve.

Duncan designed a standard unit of measurement for himself, which was the true qi that an ordinary person would cultivate for a year to refine essence into qi, as a measure of one year's skill level.

As for the extraordinary talents in the martial arts world, which one of them hasn't achieved in a few years what an ordinary martial arts practitioner has to do in a lifetime of arduous cultivation?

"We can't act recklessly."

"You still need luck."

"I have a clear understanding of the internal energy circulation path, and I am also very familiar with the three wheels and seven channels of Buddhism."

"But I still need to figure out the method of circulating energy for the techniques and secret methods."

Internal strength is like an energy pool.

The technique involves operating a circuit diagram to output energy with maximum efficiency and achieve the corresponding effect.

Acupoints on the human body are nodes on many pathways.

Those who follow the twelve regular meridians have wide channels and can freely output power. Those who follow the eight extraordinary meridians and extra meridian points take a different approach. They need to open up the acupoints and meridians first before they can output power, and their power is far inferior to that of the twelve regular meridians. However, their efficiency will be greatly improved.

Lu Shanjun taught a self-taught master.

This expert, following unorthodox methods of enlightenment, came up with an even more unorthodox way of cultivation.

Unofficial histories are always more interesting than official histories, that's for sure.

"So, the meridians are somewhat like the trajectory of a ballistic missile that accelerates its charging process?"

Like Lu Shanjun, Duncan was bold and decisive. He created the Tiger Demon Fist on his own halfway through his life. He closed his eyes and sensed the meridians and acupoints in his body. In addition to the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, he added several powerful acupoints and incorporated them into the path of true qi circulation.

——The Sword Qi of Shaoshang (Extremely Strong and Yang)!
A domineering sword aura burst forth, no longer an invisible sword aura, but a fleeting pale golden sword light, streaking across the sky like a shooting star.

boom!
The pavilion in front of them exploded, and the stone pillars shattered with a deafening roar.

Its power is terrifying!

puff.

Duncan coughed up a mouthful of blood. The sword energy had damaged his meridians and even injured his internal organs, resulting in a serious internal injury, equivalent to going into a state of demonic possession.

"Son!"

The Jade-Faced Lady exclaimed in surprise and quickly reached out to hug him. Then, she channeled her inner energy into his meridians, her expression pained and slightly reproachful, saying, "How could you channel your energy like that?"

"The meridians and acupoints in the human body are different for each person."

"A slight mishap in luck can lead to demonic possession."

Even if you want to create your own method of luck.

"One must first thoroughly study the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic and the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, as the operation of many meridians and acupoints is a secret method of medical practice."

This must have been taught by Lu Shanjun.

That big tiger came from a shady background and taught people haphazardly. The Tiger Fiend Fist that the young master learned was wrong from the start; it's not a secret technique that ordinary people should practice.

Even if you want to figure out the methods of luck, you have to start with the classic medical texts.

After all, the meridians were gradually filled in by physicians. The number of meridians and acupoints in the human body was not so large when they were first developed. The legendary ancient masters were all Qi cultivators, so they did not need to open up acupoints one by one.

Physicians in the Han Dynasty even used the eleven meridians!
It was during the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were widely disseminated in the *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues).

The boy knew nothing of these things. He was also very bold, inheriting the same lineage as Lu Shanjun. His methods were extremely unruly. Fortunately, his physical constitution was really strong, so this was only a mild internal injury and could not be considered a true case of qi deviation.

The Jade-Faced Lady secretly made a mental note of it, and prepared to have her maids bring over the medical classics shortly.

She was genuinely afraid that the boy's reckless practice would cause him to go astray and become possessed.

But great efforts can lead to miracles.

Looking at the exploded pavilion, the Jade-Faced Lady thought that even Lord Lushan might not be able to withstand the power and would definitely be injured.
