Chapter 585: Soul Core, a Wrong Way of Inner Alchemy
Soul core.
In essence, it is nothing more than compressing the soul power into a solid state, thereby drawing in the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world and converting it into soul power for the soul master to use.
After all, solid soul power can no longer circulate in the body.
However, to construct the Wu Ding Soul Furnace based on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and then to connect with the Twelve Main Meridians to open up the inner world is to treat oneself as a soul core for cultivation.
This is what is called the Golden Elixir Road.
After the inner world is opened up, one's own aura will be in harmony with the heaven and earth, and in harmony with nature. It will be extremely smooth and one can use the power of heaven and earth for one's own benefit with just a move.
Constructing a soul core in the body?
This did not change the current situation where the soul power cultivated by oneself was compressed into a solid and could no longer circulate in the body. It was just a shortcut.
Based on the meridian circulation of the human body, we construct the inner world, with the body as the cauldron, the mind as the elixir, and the heart as the world. Not only can we instinctively draw the energy of the external world into the body and refine it into soul power for our own consumption, but we can also connect and penetrate the human body's aura with the aura of heaven and earth to achieve the state of unity between man and nature.
It can be said that after practicing to this point, Zhou Qing has completed all the steps mentioned by Taoists of refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into Dao.
It is true that his soul power level is only level 51, but the soul power level only represents the amount of soul power. In Taoist cultivation theory, what is important is never the amount of cultivation, but a complete energy circulation system constructed during the cultivation process.
Now, Zhou Qing's inner world is complete. What's lacking in his mortal stage of cultivation is to replenish his soul power and let himself resonate with the heaven and earth at all times to harmonize his aura, thereby forging a divine body and concentrating his soul.
Otherwise, it is very likely to cause bad aura, causing oneself to suffer many disasters, or even be doomed...
"To be honest, I want to beat you up right now." Tang San's lips trembled when he heard Zhou Qing say that he would need to control his future cultivation at all times, as if he could not control his aura well, he would die and all his years of cultivation would disappear in one day.
"I want, too."
Xiao Wu also had the same feeling.
However, she was the happiest one, because as long as she opened up the inner world, she would no longer be restricted by the soul ring when cultivating soul power. It also meant that Zhou Qing would not need to hunt soul beasts unless necessary in the future.
Similarly, as long as she can open up her inner world, she will no longer need to hunt soul beasts to obtain her seventh, eighth, and ninth soul rings in the future.
Tang San, Wang Sheng, Bu Liu and Bu Qi were also excited.
Especially Tang San, he was not used to the fact that he needed to use spirit rings to break through his power! In his previous life, when he practiced Xuantian Gong, he didn't need to use any spirit rings at all!
Although this means he can no longer acquire the skills of soul beasts, Zhou Qing doesn't care. Having the four skills of Wing Chun, Ming Xia, Xiao Qiu and Yin Dong are enough. Not to mention, after the inner world is completely opened up, the ability to gather into form and disperse into gas alone can assist Zhou Qing in mastering countless skills in the future, especially the seventy-two transformations, which can allow him to control all soul masters and soul beasts in the world.
In this case, why would we need to obtain spirit rings?
After learning this, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, Bu Liu, Bu Qi and the others also began to look forward to the future when they would open up their inner world.
As for Romantina——
"Can you become a girl again?"
But seeing her cheeks slightly red and her lips crooked, Zhou Qing couldn't help but shudder and quickly refused: "Get lost! I will definitely not change in front of you in the future!"
Romantina whistled, licked her lips, and said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true..."
Suddenly, Zhou Qing's hair stood on end.
"Cough cough!"
In order to avoid going off topic, Tang San coughed twice and said, "Brother Qing, now that you have obtained the fourth spirit ring and opened up your inner vision, this trip can be considered a success."
"Perfect? That can't be considered as such. After all, we didn't go to meet the Snowy Night Emperor. Who knows, he might make things difficult for us in the future, haha."
As he spoke, Zhou Qing laughed out loud. The others also laughed.
If they followed the rules, no matter how urgent the matter was, they would have to put it aside and go meet Emperor Xue Ye, after all, it was related to their "future".
But they all have their own dreams. Even Bu Liu and Bu Qi, who have less faith, gradually become closer to them in terms of thinking and ideas as they get along with them.
Noble title?
Prosperity and wealth?
Although I can't just ignore it, I can at least laugh it off.
The seven people left the Sunset Forest and headed straight for Tiandou City. They dressed up a little so that outsiders could not tell who they were. After each of them purchased some supplies, they left the city.
The guards at the city gates would not deliberately investigate the identities of people entering or leaving, regardless of whether they were disguised or not, unless the city was under martial law or it was a wartime period.
This is the same whether it is Tiandou or Xingluo.
It is said that only those entering and leaving Spirit City need to verify their identities, and any spirit master who has not registered with the Spirit Hall is not allowed to enter.
However, Zhou Qing believes that this form of collecting city fees without verifying identities poses a huge hidden danger to the management of the city and the safety of the people in the city.
It is true that the tall city wall did prevent most soul masters from breaking in to a certain extent, but the guards at the city gate were too lax.
It’s not that the soldiers at the city gate are not elite, but the system is too lax. If someone wants to enter the city to investigate, they don’t even need to climb over the wall. They can just disguise their identity a little and blend in.
"Step aside!"
After walking seven or eight miles away from the city gate, a loud and powerful scolding came from the front.
Looking forward, a carriage inlaid with gold and jade was coming quickly with smoke and dust. The pedestrians and carriages in front made way one after another. The coachman of the carriage that Zhou Qing and his companions were riding in immediately pulled the reins and temporarily stopped the carriage at the edge of the road.
Only after the magnificent carriage had passed did the coachman dare to drive the carriage back to the center of the road and continue on his way.
"Uncle, which noble family owns that carriage? Why are they so arrogant?" Zhou Qing lifted the curtain, looked back, and frowned slightly.
When the carriage was about to enter the city gate, it slowed down a little, but not too slow. It went straight into the city, and the guards at the city gate did not stop it. Instead, they shouted at the pedestrians nearby to get out of the way.
The person in the car must be either rich or noble!
"That's Master Yuexuan's carriage."
The coachman obviously knew about the various powerful forces in Tiandou City. He recognized the carriage at a glance. "The owner of the pavilion doesn't have a noble title, but Yuexuan is a place for nobles to learn noble etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. So the owner of the pavilion often interacts with the nobles and has a close relationship with them!"
"I also heard that Yuexuan is related to the Haotian Sect, which has now withdrawn from the world. I don't know whether it is true or not..."
Haotian Sect?
Tang San's ears moved, he pondered for a moment, and asked the groom: "Uncle, is this rumor true?"
"How should I know? I just heard it from others. Maybe it's because the owner of Yuexuan is surnamed Tang, so some people with good intentions spread it this way." The coachman said casually.
"So, is Master Tang Xuan a soul master? Who is in his family?" Zhou Qing asked.
"I heard he's just a soul warrior." The groom said, "As for who's at home... I really don't know..."
