Chapter 523 Hum and Ha Breath - Five Organs and Five Elements Differentiation Qi Refining Method

"Yunxiu, relax, and try to spread your wings!"

"You are no less capable than anyone else; what you need is confidence in yourself!"

Looking up at the timid little figure in the sky, Jialuo shouted loudly.

As a graduate this year, Galo was only recently assigned to this "Flying Elementary School".

This is one of the original settlements of the Butterfly People, and also the largest known existing settlement of the Butterfly People.

To be honest, when Galo was first assigned here, she was actually somewhat dissatisfied.

She had originally thought she would be assigned to Gaocun Town, or return to her original village.

Who would have thought that, simply because he was practicing the supernatural abilities of "riding the clouds" and "telepathy," he would be sent to the territory of a foreign race to serve as an enlightenment teacher.

No matter how earnestly Li Jingshu tried to persuade and instruct her before leaving, the Butterfly People were still considered foreigners by Jialuo.

It's no more than three inches tall, and it has a pair of butterfly wings on its back...

What else could such a tiny creature be but a foreign race?
It wasn't until Galo settled down here and came into contact with these butterfly people who were no longer than her arm that she gradually changed her initial impression.

The Butterfly People may not be mountain dwellers, but they are definitely not a foreign race.

They're just a little different in appearance, like me having three eyes.

A thought involuntarily flashed through his mind, and once again, Jialuo's [telepathy] uncontrollably heard Yunxiu's thoughts.

The other person was afraid and worried, but also gained confidence because of Galo's encouragement.

According to Jialuo, who has practiced telepathy, this kind of communication between minds is far more effective in reaching the essence than any difference in appearance.

"So, is this why I was assigned here?"

Slowly opening the third eye between her brows, Jialuo could clearly see that Yunxiu was gradually adapting to flying, and her mood was gradually changing from fear and worry to happiness and excitement.

For the vast majority of Butterfly People, this is simply an instinct they are born with.

But for Yunxiu, who was born weak, this was a different story.

Being able to fly in the air like other members of their race is already a huge step forward.

"Teacher, teacher! I can finally fly!"

As the breeze blew, Yunxiu's figure slowly descended from the sky.

Like a fairy among flowers, or a butterfly fluttering in the air...

When Yunxiu landed on a treetop not far from Jialuo, her face was already flushed with excitement.

“Innate deficiencies can be made up for through hard work, and that is why I came here.”

Walking slowly to Yunxiu's side, I saw Jialuo first look around.

Then, looking seriously at the butterflies who were either surprised, disdainful, or confused, he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"Compared to you, Yunxiu is an individual with congenital developmental deficiencies."

“But compared to the other races of the Hundred Mountains, you are no different from the Cloud Peaks.”

As if to prove her point, Galo stretched out her arm toward the sky while saying these words.

The next second, the once cloudless sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds obscured the sun, and streaks of lightning flashed and disappeared among the clouds.

—Supernatural Power: Soaring Through the Clouds!
As an upgraded version of the spell "Summoning Wind and Rain," "Riding the Clouds" is a true supernatural power.

The former only requires interfering with the flow of the primordial energy of heaven and earth to alter celestial phenomena. The latter, however, requires genuine self-transformation, centered on oneself, to naturally acquire superpowers.

"Is this supernatural power!?"

A stunned butterfly-man exclaimed in surprise.

In the minds of these butterfly people, supernatural powers are the unique strength of gods.

The priests of the tribe can use the power of the gods to cast spells, but they can never use supernatural powers as freely as the gods.

In other words, if the current Gara were placed before the descent of the celestial beings, she would be a god who could summon wind and rain.

Even slightly lesser beings are innate deities, demigods who have not yet fully matured.

"That's right, this is supernatural power!"

Nodding in affirmation of the butterfly people's understanding, Galo continued to speak.

"Just as you all evolved from larvae..."

“In the Hundred Mountains, all living beings can undergo a similar transformation by practicing ‘breathing techniques’ and ‘sensory techniques’.”

"Therefore, your current appearance and abilities only represent your present state and cannot represent your future."

After saying this, Galo waved his hand again to disperse the dark clouds in the sky.

Since the launch of the Sky Base Station, large-scale and long-term alterations to celestial phenomena have been explicitly prohibited.

This is to prevent increasingly powerful cultivators from acting arbitrarily and disrupting the normal operation of the entire Hundred Mountains region with their own power, thus affecting the harvest of the mountain people next year.

“Your bodies are born weak, and your spirituality is somewhat lacking…”

"Therefore, instead of training the body and cultivating the spirit, it is better to focus your energy on the path of vital energy."

Galo wasn't intentionally trying to hurt these butterfly people; she was simply stating a very simple fact.

Having received comprehensive spiritual education, Galo understands better than anyone the importance of talent in the path of spiritual practice, and is also more aware of the advantages of leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Take Galo herself for example, compared to her companions who possess the Heavenly Eye.

Her progress in cultivating the Dao of Essence was significantly slower, while her progress in cultivating the Dao of Qi and the Dao of Spirit was rapid.

Not long after completing the stage of refining essence into qi, Jialuo naturally reunited her seven souls and manifested her primordial spirit, without encountering any bottlenecks throughout the process.

"Of course, having you focus your energy on the path of vital energy does not mean that you should give up on tempering your body and soul."

"The Way of Heaven and Man emphasizes the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and ultimately returning to the void and transforming into the Way. These three are indispensable."

"The Taoist Ancestor regarded 'refining essence into qi' as the foundation of cultivation, hoping that we would pay attention to these foundations."

"Only the life essence extracted from the body is the true essence that belongs to you, and it is also the key to your future 'refining of qi into spirit'."

"From the life force to the energy of heaven and earth, and then to that unique Nine Revolutions Qi..."

"Without a strong body and a powerful soul, you will experience what it means to achieve half the results with twice the effort when you carry out any of the above steps."

Because his physical body was not strong enough, Galo was much slower than his clansmen in the "refining essence into qi" stage.

It wasn't until he reached the stage of "refining qi into spirit" that he surpassed others in one fell swoop, and even cultivated the two supernatural powers of "riding the clouds and mist" and "mind reading".

“Starting today, I will teach you the formal ‘Hum-Ha Breathing Technique: Five Organs and Five Elements Differentiation Qi Refining Method’.”

"This practice is derived from the most basic 'exercise-based vital energy regulation breathing method,' but it places greater emphasis on the cultivation of the five internal organs and the five energies, and you do not need to have a strong physique."
