Chapter 8: Alchemy or sword practice
After lunch, Kieran subconsciously wanted to lie down on the sofa. In the past, he would lie on the sofa for at least half an hour after eating, but today, he only took two steps and then stopped. Because he suddenly realized that those days might be gone forever, he had no choice but to sigh secretly, turn around and go out.
Seeing the master shaking his head and sighing, Li Shiyin didn't know what happened to the master who just had a full meal.
She followed Qin Ran and came to the door.
The master walked into the grassland, reached the river bank, and looked down into the river. At this time, the world was like a painting, and he seemed like a figure in the painting...a melancholy figure in the painting.
Li Shiyin thought for a while, then walked over and came to the river. She lowered her head and looked at the clear river water at her feet. There were also fish and shrimp swimming along the current.
Sensing that Li Shiyin was following, Qin Ran turned his head to look at her, then looked back at the river at his feet, and suddenly said:
"The Master said on the river, "The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
"The original meaning of practice is actually to fight against time and seek immortality. It's just that during the process of practice, people find that practice will gain very powerful power, so some people practice for power."
He sighed, "Then immortality and strength are the two paths of cultivation."
"Swordsmanship is the way of strength, and alchemy is the way of immortality." He turned his head, looked at Li Shiyin, and asked, "Do you want to practice alchemy or sword practice?"
Li Shiyin didn't know who the "zi" was, and she didn't understand what the master meant by that sentence, but she really just wanted to refine elixirs, so she answered immediately: "Refining..."
Qin Ran raised his hand to stop her from continuing and said:
"You don't have a great future in swordsmanship and you have to come to Danfeng. I know that you have a reason to want to learn alchemy. However, I still hope that you will think about it carefully. You don't have to answer me now, think about it before you answer. "
Li Shiyin fell silent.
"To make an elixir, you need to memorize a lot of medicinal materials, you need to memorize a lot of elixir recipes, and you need to know how to turn the medicinal materials into elixirs. It's not like you have practiced an elixir-making technique, you know a certain elixir recipe, and then you can make elixirs..."
Qin Ran raised his head and looked at the forest in the distance, "You don't need to memorize a lot to practice swordsmanship. You only need to practice a technique, learn a sword technique, and cultivate a natal sword."
He asked again, "Do you think you are suitable for alchemy or sword practice?"
Li Shiyin was born in a family, although her father had tried his best to name her Shiyin and let her learn poetry and etiquette. He hoped that she would be gentler and more knowledgeable.
However, the influence of family tradition was too great, and she did not become a lady in the end...
Whether she is suitable for sword practice or alchemy, she actually knows better than anyone else.
"There is no distinction between high and low professions, but in general, sword cultivators are more popular in the world of immortal cultivators. Everyone knows that nannies are very important, but who doesn't want to be the swordsman who kills people with flying swords from thousands of miles away?" Qin Ran smiled. Then he said, "Girl, let's practice sword practice!"
Li Shiyin pursed her lips and looked at the fish swimming in the river without saying anything.
"Practice your sword quickly, and refine your alchemy slowly. You decide as soon as possible!" Qin Ran finally said, "But today, I still want to teach you how to get started."
After watching the fish for a while, the two crossed the river and came to the research building again. Kieran asked Li Shiyin to wait at the pharmacy in the morning while he went to the fourth floor to get a mannequin.
"Before practicing, you must first understand the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body." Qin Ran moved the mannequin to the table, and Li Shiyin sat behind the table. He looked at her and said, "Otherwise, you won't even know you have the sense of Qi. What luck.
"This model was used by me when I was learning the exercises. Now I will use it to demonstrate to you."
"Model? Is there such a thing in the world of immortality?" Li Shiyin sat behind the table seriously, but her smart eyes betrayed her. The master is really weird, his painting style is not right.
"Here, look, the acupoints go from top to bottom. This is the Baihui point, which connects to heaven and earth. When the Yuanying transforms into a spirit, the Yuanying comes out of this place... This is the center of the brow, Yintang point, which is the location of the sea of consciousness. , the so-called upper Dantian, when you have the soul, the soul will live here..."
Qin Ran pointed at the human body model and explained it to Li Shiyin in detail from top to bottom.
"This is the Tanzhong point, which is the middle Dantian, where the Nascent Soul is located later... This is the Qihai point, which is the lower Dantian, where the cyclone and the golden elixir are located.
"The practice will start from the lower Dantian. Once you have the sense of Qi, the cyclone will condense in the lower Dantian. Then the cultivation will increase, the cyclone will grow stronger, and form the golden elixir. Then the golden elixir will hatch, and the Nascent Soul will break through the elixir and come out..."
Qin Ran was eloquent, explaining each point very carefully, for fear of making mistakes, he also verbally expressed his understanding of the practice, secretly expressing that there was something in his stomach.
However, Li Shiyin, who was sitting behind the desk and listening to the class... his eyes went from agile to dull, from dull to dull, from dull to closed.
When he was talking about Qi Hai from Baihui, Li Shiyin was already playing tricks with Duke Zhou. When he was talking about building foundations and transforming into gods, Li Shiyin was already chatting with Duke Zhou.
Qin Ran spoke heartily, then suddenly looked back and found that Li Shiyin had already fallen asleep. He was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly understood how disappointed the teacher felt when he saw all the students in the classroom dozing off in middle school.
Is what I said really so hypnotic? He couldn't help but wonder.
But whether there was or not, he had to stop.
If cultivation can be divided into a theoretical school and a practical school, then Qin Ran is a proper theoretical school. If he doesn't understand what each acupuncture point does and the specific direction of each exercise route, then he won't be able to continue practicing.
At this time, he had little knowledge and thought that everyone was like him and that it would be impossible to learn success methods without making preparations first. So when he saw Li Shiyin behaving like this in class, he was somewhat skeptical:
Is this the top spiritual root? !
Qin Ran sat down and looked at Li Shiyin who kept nodding with her mouth pouted. He began to think, should he talk about meridians later? If the acupoints are unclear and the meridians are unclear, how should I practice?
But Li Shiyin looks like this... I have a headache, ah, a headache!
Kieran knocked on the table lightly, and Li Shiyin stopped and nodded, but still didn't wake up. Kieran was a little hesitant, wondering if he had disturbed others, but he knocked on the table again, and Li Shiyin finally woke up.
Li Shiyin opened her eyes in confusion, and saw the helpless look of her master in front of her. She felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She quickly lowered her head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, master, I'm sorry, I... didn't... couldn't hold it back..."
"How much did you listen to what I just said?" Looking at his little apprentice's cute look, Qin Ran struggled to his death.
"Baihui Point, what is connected to heaven and earth, what Yuanshen, what Yuanying..." Li Shiyin tried hard to recall what Qin Ran had just said, and said everything she heard, "when the egg breaks, the baby comes out, the energy and water become the sea... …”
Qin Ran raised his hand to stop Li Shiyin's nonsense, and finally asked: "Do you know what these are?"
"Ah?" Li Shiyin shook her head in confusion.
"Alas!" Qin Ran sighed and stood up. He wanted to say something at this moment, it's really rotten wood that cannot be carved!
But he didn't say it after all.
Turning around and walking out, when he reached the door, he stopped again, took out a book from the Qiankun bag, turned around and put it on the table, and said: "This is a detailed explanation of the meridians of the human body. Regarding the meridians involved in the foundation building period, I There are labels on what attributes each meridian involves, and there are also notes. Take a look at it yourself first! ”
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Watching her master leave, Li Shiyin blamed herself. She didn't know why she was always sleepy. !
With a helpless sigh, Li Shiyin picked up the book on the table and opened it. Just like the medicinal material book in the morning, the pictures were in color, and each mannequin was clear and clear. The printed words were also densely packed and written in great detail. There are also handwriting notes from the master.
In short, when she took a look, she felt that the whole world was filled with words, and suddenly they were one head and two words big.
She quickly threw the book back on the table, as if she had been bitten by the book.
Li Shiyin leaned back on the chair helplessly and looked up at the ceiling.
"How can we practice like this?" she sighed. "How can I make elixirs if I feel sleepy when I read a book?"
She was thinking about it and suddenly realized something, "The master is only in the foundation building stage. Why would he say that he has marks on the meridians involved in the foundation building stage in this book? Has the master read all the foundation building techniques?! "
She was shocked by her idea. Someone could really read so many books! ? ?
"As expected of the master, it is indeed terrifying!!"
