From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 83 Cave Heaven
a few days later.

The backyard of the Xu family's old house.

Xu Fugui personally worked with Xu Xiaogou and Xu Xiaoan to dig and build an underground secret room.

The underground secret room is not big, only about ten feet long and wide.

Given the Xu family's current situation, they occasionally needed a secret space for conversations, and later on, they needed a place to practice cultivation. The backyard was where they practiced their daily stances, and maids and nannies were not allowed to enter. Building an underground secret room was an added layer of security.

At this time, the door of the newly built underground secret room was locked from the inside, and Xu Fugui and Xu Xiaogou sat cross-legged on the cold floor tiles.

The two of them sat in a "connecting heaven and earth" posture, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Sensing the Qi" is the first step to guide the Qi into the body.

Xu Fugui straightened his back, with his Baihui point facing the sky and his perineum touching the ground. He folded his hands at the Qihai point in his lower abdomen, silently reciting the meditation technique in his mind, and each breath contained a special rhythm.

Half an hour, an hour... However, after two hours, he felt nothing.

Could it be that "Tuyuan Jue" is fake?

Xu Fugui opened his eyes and saw Xu Xiaogou looking at him.

"Dad, how are you?"

"No, I didn't feel any energy."

He shook his head helplessly.

"Dad, I felt the energy an hour ago, and now it's very strong. According to the description of the technique, I should be able to draw the energy into my body and open up the sea of ​​energy."

Xu Xiaogou could not hide his excitement, he was about to become an immortal cultivator.

Is the technique real?
Then why was Xu Fugui unable to generate the sense of qi?

Both of them had five-element pseudo-spiritual roots, so their talents in cultivating immortality were generally similar. However, Xu Fugui was older.

Just like practicing martial arts, cultivating immortality is the same: the younger you are, the faster you progress. In short, both cultivating immortality and practicing martial arts should be done early.

"Then you can retreat here and practice in seclusion. I won't disturb you. By the way, I'll give you two spirit crystals in case you lack spiritual energy."

Xu Fugui figured out what was going on, took out the two spirit crystals and put them down, without disturbing his son from drawing the Qi into his body and walking out of the underground secret room.

Previously, Xu Xiaogou had obtained six spirit crystals from a black market cultivator, and Lin Changtian, who had come to assassinate Xu Xiaoniu, had seven spirit crystals. These thirteen spirit crystals were all the Xu family's current resources for cultivating immortals.

----

Xu Fugui entered the medicinal food room and closed the door.

Just when he took out the spirit crystal, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and an idea came to his mind.

"The inner space can be used to grow spiritual plants. It's a spiritual vein. So how about I cultivate immortality in the inner space?"

With a thought, he disappeared from the spot and appeared in the space inside his body.

He couldn't wait to sit cross-legged next to the family's treasured tree and try to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again.

A quarter of an hour later, he vaguely sensed the ethereal spiritual energy in the surrounding space.

Another half hour passed, and he could clearly sense the spiritual energy around him, and could actively absorb some of it into his body.

"Next, draw the Qi into the body!"

He adjusted his breathing, his chest rising and falling, inhaling the air filled with spiritual energy, taking the spiritual energy into his body, and exhaling the foul air without spiritual energy.

This cycle repeats, one breath in and one exhale.

At the same time, the acupoints on the body surface also actively absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

As more and more spiritual energy accumulated in the body, it finally gathered in the meridians into a stream of spiritual energy like a clear spring.

After several attempts, Xu Fugui finally managed to control the flow of spiritual energy through his meridians. After all, he was a congenital warrior and had the basics of controlling internal energy. Circulating spiritual energy was similar to circulating internal energy.

The spiritual energy flows through the meridians in the body, forming a circulation, and increases at an extremely slow rate.

At the same time, the magical effect of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was revealed. Wherever the spiritual energy passed, it was like cleansing the bones and marrow, and transforming the body.

Xu Fugui was a congenital warrior, having already opened up his meridians and acupoints. For an ordinary cultivator, this wisp of spiritual energy would have directly opened up all of their meridians and acupoints, completing something that would take a warrior over a decade. However, the congenital warrior's internal energy merely strengthened his physical body through the use of Qi and blood.

The effect of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is even more magical. Xu Fugui's tendons, bones, internal organs seem to be completely renewed, and he looks decades younger.

This change lasted for several hours and then slowly ended.

As he continued to circulate the Qi, he became able to control the spiritual energy in his body more easily. He controlled the spiritual energy and poured it into the Qi Hai acupoint.

A tiny hole was torn open in the closed Qi Hai acupoint, and spiritual energy penetrated into it, expanding it.

Open up the Dantian Qi Sea!
This strand of spiritual energy eventually opened up a sea of ​​qi the size of a soybean.

The first level of Qi training is to open up the Qi Sea to a size of one inch, with three holes and three orifices.

The initial stages of Qi training consisted of repeatedly circulating the Qi meridians and breathing in and out, strengthening the spiritual energy and slowly expanding the Qi sea. This process was extremely long, and for casual cultivators with poor spiritual roots and no spiritual stones, it could take decades.

Xu Fugui circulated the spiritual energy dozens of times and found that the growth of the spiritual energy was extremely slow and imperceptible.

"It's time to go out."

He didn't know how long he had been in the space inside his body.

I exited the space inside my body and walked out of the herbal medicine room, only to find that it was already late at night.

"As expected, time passes in practice, and in the blink of an eye, it's already late at night."

It was still noon when he entered the space inside his body.

I haven't eaten yet, but I don't feel hungry.

"Hey, this spiritual energy..."

I had never practiced Taoism before, so I couldn’t sense spiritual energy.

He had now entered the realm of immortal cultivation and sensed that the spiritual energy around him was extremely thin. The concentration of spiritual energy within his body was ten times that of the outside world!
He felt that his progress was slow even when he was practicing in the space within his body. It was conceivable how slow his practice efficiency would be if he practiced in the outside world without relying on spirit stones.

"The space within my body is truly my blessed place! From now on, I will cultivate my immortality in this space within my body."

He secretly thought.

Then he came to the backyard and saw that the door of the underground secret room was still closed and Xu Xiaogou had not come out.

After waiting for a while, Xu Xiaogou finally appeared.

He walked out of the underground secret room, his expression excited but helpless: "Dad, I have already opened up the Qi Sea. I used a spirit crystal to open up the Qi Sea before, and then I used up another spirit crystal.

Without spirit crystals, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too scarce, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy is very low. I don’t know how many years it will take to reach the second level of Qi training."

"This is how cultivation works. It takes a long time to improve. Don't be impatient. Take your time."

This is the only way Xu Fugui could comfort Sangou.

Only he can enter the space inside his body.

Without special opportunities and a large amount of spiritual stone resources, a cultivator with five spiritual roots would find it difficult to even reach the late stage of Qi training in his entire life, let alone build a foundation.

----

For a period of time afterwards, Xu Fugui would enter the space within his body to practice whenever he had time.

In addition, he also studied the book "Basics of Flying Swordsmanship".

The Flying Sword Technique is a sword-controlling method in the Qi Refining Stage. The method he used before was just the entry-level hidden weapon technique of the Flying Sword Technique, and did not touch upon the true core technique of the method.

"The Basics of Flying Swordsmanship" is divided into three levels, corresponding to the early stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training and the late stage of Qi training.

However, Xu Fugui found that he was stumped at the first level.

The first level of the flying sword technique is to possess a magical flying sword and refine it.

Magical weapons correspond to the immortal weapons used by Qigong practitioners.

Among the talismans, elixirs and other cultivation resources and props used by Qigong practitioners, magic weapons are the most expensive.
