Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 28 Thunderous Sounds Dispel the Turbidity
For a full hour, Man Xiongmu imparted all the secrets of the Youyun Qi Circulation Diagram to Wu Tian, ​​only stopping when he was certain that Wu Tian had memorized it completely.

"You must study this Qi Chart every day and master it thoroughly. Only then will you be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when you open your meridians."

"In addition, I will teach you the Cloud Water Spell and the Wind Gathering Spell. After you master these two spells, you will no longer need to go to the Dharma Transmission Hall."

After he finished speaking, he demonstrated the Cloud and Water Spell and the Gathering Wind Spell once more.

The Cloud Water Spell can gather the essence of water between heaven and earth, transforming it into a dark cloud. With a flick of the hand, water droplets will fall.

The Wind Gathering Spell is even simpler, consisting of only fifty-eight ancient sounds. With a flick of the sleeve, it can stir up a strong wind.

Wu Tian only read them twice before recording both spells into the system panel.

After giving another bitter bamboo seed to Wu Tian, ​​Man Xiongmu returned to his meditation room.

Wu Tian held the seed in his mouth and planted it in a crevice outside the cave. Then he activated the Cloud and Water Incantation. As he recited the seventy-four ancient sounds one by one, water-based essence gathered between heaven and earth.

Before long, it turned into a dark cloud, hovering three feet above Wu Tian's head. Soon, water droplets fell, but unfortunately, they were very few and far between. In just a dozen breaths, the cloud dissipated.

Wu Tian then cast the Wind Gathering Spell, and a strong wind blew by, causing the seed to take root and sprout. The branches and leaves of the other dozen or so bitter bamboo plants nearby rustled and suddenly shot upwards.

"It is indeed a spirit seed, different from ordinary bamboo."

The mountain winds on ordinary days do not allow these bamboos to grow; only the cursed winds that gather the essence of the wind can make the bitter bamboos grow tall.

“If you eat grains after entering the Qi Nourishing Realm, it will increase the turbid Qi in your body, which is not conducive to cultivation. That’s why Man Xiongmu had me start eating the leaves of these bitter bamboos after I entered the Qi Nourishing Realm.”

"After dawn, we need to go to the food court again to say goodbye."

Wu Tian sprang up and bit off a few tender leaves from a bitter bamboo stalk. Immediately, a bitter taste mixed with the aroma of bamboo leaves spread, making his eyes almost squint.

"so bitter……"

"No wonder they say the leaves of bitter bamboo can calm the mind and focus the spirit. It's so bitter, how can you think about anything else?"

He forced himself to swallow the bitter taste and soon felt his stomach swell up, losing all feeling of hunger.

"Fine, for the sake of cultivation, I can only suffer in vain."

Wu Tian calmed down and began to study his skills. He now had four spells to practice: Fire Eye Spell, Thunder Sound Spell, Cloud Water Spell, and Wind Gathering Spell.

Once the Qi of the Netherworld is mastered, even the Fire Eye Spell does not require waiting for sunrise. One only needs to use the Qi of the Netherworld to draw upon the essence of fire to cultivate. Of course, if one can inhale and exhale the purple Qi of the rising sun, the effect will be even better.

"Let's try it out first. Once you've mastered all four spells, your spellcasting will be different from before, especially after you've gained some spiritual energy."

"I just cast the Cloud Water Spell and the Wind Gathering Spell. Next, I'll try the Fire Eye Spell and the Thunder Sound Spell."

Wu Tian practiced the two spells one by one, and carefully observed the acupoints in his body.

"The Thunder Sound Spell is most effective at cleansing the body of impurities, several times more so than other spells."

"The Fire Eye Spell is the second best, followed by the Wind Gathering Spell, and the Cloud and Water Spell is the least effective."

He then tried adjusting the order of several spells, and before he knew it, a night had passed.

"The best effect is achieved by first casting the Thunder Sound Spell, then the Fire Eye Spell and the Cloud Water Spell, and finally the Wind Gathering Spell."

Wu Tian discovered that if he cast the Fire Eye Spell and then immediately cast the Cloud Water Spell, the Cloud Water Spell would be just as effective as the Fire Eye Spell in purifying the turbid air. He didn't quite understand the mystery behind this, but he guessed it was because of the water and fire attributes.

"The Tongyou Mantra is no longer useful for my current cultivation. My main task now is to open up the seventy-two acupoints as soon as possible and start practicing the Qi Circulation Diagram."

"The lessons to come will be the four spells and the opening of the mind."

"At the current pace, it shouldn't take too long to open the meridians."

Wu Tian calmed himself down and cast the four spells in turn. After each round, the turbid energy in his body would fluctuate, and he would take the opportunity to open his meridians. He would continue casting the spells until the turbid energy stagnated again.

This is the little trick that Manxiongmu taught: first practice incantations, then open the meridians, which can slightly increase the efficiency of opening the meridians. "However, I feel that the effect of opening the meridians is much better after casting incantations, not at all like what Manxiongmu said, which is better than nothing."

After practicing for a few rounds, Wu Tian noticed the difference. "It must be the effect of the Thunder Sound Spell. The superior spells passed down by the senior are indeed extraordinary."

"In that case, my speed of enlightenment will probably be faster than expected."

The four spells were used in turn, and then the energy channels were opened. The cycle repeated, and before they knew it, a night had passed.

Wu Tian felt extremely tired, but his Tongyou Qi became more and more refined under the polishing of the four spells. Moreover, the absorption and exhalation of the four kinds of essences of water, fire, wind and thunder were more effective than the pure wind essence he had before.

As the sun rose, he used the Fire Eye Spell to inhale and exhale a wisp of the purple aura of the rising sun, and then stopped practicing. Although the Fire Eye Spell was not as miraculous as the Thunder Sound Spell in purifying the turbid air, he felt his eyes warm after each inhale and exhale of the purple aura, and a warm current went straight into his spiritual center.

Despite having spent the night cultivating and feeling mentally exhausted, he felt much better now.

"This Fire Eye Technique has the effect of nourishing the spirit..."

"The Thunder Sound Spell and the Fiery Eye Technique each have their own unique uses, far surpassing the Cloud Water Spell and the Wind Gathering Spell."

Wu Tian increasingly felt the huge difference between what that senior had passed down and the legacy of Skull Mountain.

"That senior said that within ten years, when the cauldron body is perfected and transforms into human form, he can take me back to the sect."

"But according to what Man Xiongmu said, the time required to reach the Qi Nourishing Realm is ten times that of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In other words, it will take me ten years to reach the Qi Nourishing Realm."

"Not to mention that even if one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, one still needs to cultivate the Nascent Soul realm to perfection..."

"Time waits for us!"

Wu Tian felt a sense of urgency; he didn't want to waste any time, so he quickly ran towards the food stall.

When he arrived at the canteen, he saw Wu Xia'er dressed in red and waiting for him at the side entrance.

Upon seeing Wu Tian, ​​she rushed over and hugged him tightly, excitedly exclaiming, "Bai Long'er, I've broken through! I've broken through!"

"Hahaha~"

The girl's silvery laughter echoed, clearly she was extremely happy.

Wu Tian was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Wu Xia'er would break through at about the same time as him.

Wu Xia'er began cultivating three years ago, and in just three years she has achieved the Foundation Establishment stage. Her talent is already comparable to that of Man Xiongmu, and she has the potential to enter the realm of magic refinement in the future.

In fact, those at the Refinement Realm were already qualified to serve as elders on Skull Mountain.

Most of those stewards were at the Casting Cauldron Realm.

Although Man Xiongmu is currently only a steward, it is because he is preparing to take over the position of elder of Qiyun Cave, so he has not accepted the position of other elders in the sect.

"White Dragon, tell me, am I awesome or not? Haha!"

Wu Xia'er was clearly very excited and carried Wu Tian toward the food court.

As soon as I entered, I heard Aunt Wu's voice filled with laughter, "You little rascal, you're here! Xia'er's cultivation broke through today, so you can benefit from it too. I've prepared the flesh and blood of a python that has become a spirit, which is quite nourishing. I've saved some for you, so go and eat!"

Fatty Huang muttered from the side, "It's such a waste to feed such nutritious food to dogs. I wouldn't even eat it myself..."

He was speaking when his eyes swept over Wu Tian, ​​and he suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, this dog seems to have become a spirit?"

"Full of vital energy, radiant with spiritual light..."

"This...it's really become sentient?!"
