Chapter 41: Qi Cultivation!

However, the Federation's cultivation methods are different. Taking Chu Xuan's Qiankun Yangyuan Technique as an example, this method requires the condensation of forty-eight Dharma Seals during the Qi Refining stage in order to achieve Qi Refining perfection.

Of course, this is just a difference in the complexity of the techniques. The real difference between the two is that the Dharma seal condensed by the Federal Qi Cultivation Method is not located in the dantian.

Rather, it is among the twelve primary meridians.

Hand Taiyang, Hand Mingyang, Hand Shaoyang, Hand Taiyin, Hand Shaoyin, Hand Jueyin, Foot Taiyang, Foot Mingyang, Foot Shaoyang, Foot Taiyin, Foot Shaoyin, Foot Jueyin.

Within the twelve main channels, each channel contains four Dharma seals, totaling forty-eight Dharma seals that permeate the entire body, connecting all limbs and bones.

Once mastered, magical power permeates the entire body, qi circulates throughout the body, the body is flawless, and its power is boundless.

Moreover, and most importantly, by practicing this method, one's magical power is no longer confined to the dantian, but flows throughout the body's meridians and limbs, greatly increasing the amount of spiritual energy that can be stored.

Of course, there are also downsides.

The reason why the Qi-guiding method requires guiding Qi to the Dantian is because the Dantian is spacious and gathers magical power there, which puts very little burden on the physical body.

The Federal Qi Cultivation Method disperses magical power throughout the limbs and bones, placing a tremendous burden on the physical body. One must have physical cultivation to support this practice before one can begin.

If not, at best the meridians will be damaged, and at worst the body will suffer a backlash, severely depleting vital energy.

Qi cultivation begins with body refinement. Even disciples who have been formally admitted to the Immortal Abode must begin with body refinement, except that they have a supply of spirit stones, allowing them to cultivate at a much faster pace.

Moreover, they did not wait until their body refinement reached the second level before starting their cultivation; instead, they could begin cultivating as soon as they entered the basics of body refinement, cultivating all three simultaneously.

The Qi cultivation method is divided into four levels, with twelve seals as one level, just like the restrictions in magic artifacts. The forty-eight seals represent the strongest Qi cultivation method in the mortal world, which can usually only be achieved through the prerequisite cultivation methods of immortal scriptures.

This is the Qi Refining Method, but the profoundness of the Spirit Refining Method is in no way inferior to that of the Qi Refining Method!

The core of the Xuanhuang Refining Spirit Method lies in the two words "Xuanhuang," which are also the foundation of the immortal scripture "Xuanhuang Imperishable Body."

What is meant by "black and yellow"? Black represents heaven, and yellow represents earth.

Darkness represents purity, while yellow represents turbidity; darkness represents yang, while yellow represents yin!

The Xuanhuang Refining Spirit is derived from the concept of Yin and Yang refining the spirit.

This Yin-Yang power comes from Chu Xuan's physical body and magical power. The magical power is Yang, and the physical body is Yin. Yin and Yang intertwine to temper his divine consciousness!

At the same time, tempering one's spiritual consciousness can also promote the integration of physical body and magical power, laying the foundation for building one's Dao foundation in the future.

In other words, one must first master the basics of Qi cultivation before one can practice the method of refining the spirit.

Since that was the case, Chu Xuan no longer hesitated and began his formal cultivation.

Theoretically, one can start cultivating from any of the twelve meridians, as the difficulty is roughly the same. However, since Chu Xuan possesses the Jia Wood spiritual root, it would be best for him to start with the Yang Six Meridians.

After a moment's thought, I finally chose the Hand Shaoyang Meridian. Although Shaoyang belongs to the Yang category, it is slightly milder than Taiyang, making it more suitable for beginners.

With his thoughts settled, Chu Xuan no longer hesitated and began to focus on learning the first hand seal of the Hand Shaoyang Meridian.

About ten days later, Chu Xuan took out a mid-grade wood spirit stone, drew upon spiritual energy, and began to outline the first magic seal.

In fact, disciples of the Immortal Abode usually spend at least a month comprehending before they begin to try to outline the Dharma Seals. After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is limited, and they should not waste it if possible.

But Chu Xuan is different; he possesses the Gate of Heaven and Earth and has no shortage of spiritual energy!

After ten days of comprehension, I've almost mastered it. Let's sketch it out first and see what problems we encounter. It's not too late to try it out later.

Chu Xuan drew wisps of wood-attribute spiritual energy into his palm, attempting to construct a magic seal within his meridians. Initially, everything went smoothly.

However, just as the seal was about to take shape and was about to be imprinted on the meridians, the meridians suddenly trembled slightly, and the entire seal instantly dissipated.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also dissipated, with a small portion being absorbed by Chu Xuan's body, and the rest dissipating into the void.

Chu Xuan didn't care about the loss of spiritual energy in the world, and pondered the moment he made a mistake.

There's no problem with the hand seal I drew. The first hand seal is the simplest and easiest to draw, since it's not connected to any other hand seals. I remember when I first drew the hand seals for the Qi-inducing method, I completed it with ease.

I have spent quite a bit of time on this magic seal, and I have mastered it very well.

The reason for the failure was not due to the problem with the Dharma seal, but because the meridians and the dantian are different. The dantian is fixed and will not move, but the meridians are different. The meridians are flowing and their internal conditions are constantly changing.

My ultimate failure was due to changes in my meridians.

It's not because of the Dharma Seal; therefore, to successfully cultivate Qi, one also needs to understand the flow patterns of the meridians within the body.

With a clear direction in mind, Chu Xuan immediately used the Spirit Jade to download the detailed explanation of the Twelve Meridians, activated the Awakening Jade in his mind, and began to study the flow patterns of the meridians.

The benefits of the Federation are once again evident. In terms of cultivation scriptures, the Federation has no restrictions. As long as you want to learn, you can learn!

Twenty days later.

Chu Xuan held the spirit stone in his hand, and wisps of wood-attribute spiritual energy flowed into his body, gradually forming a profound magic seal in his Hand Shaoyang Meridian.

The meridians circulate constantly, changing every moment, but the Dharma seal being constructed perfectly avoids all changes and is successfully built.

As the final step was completed, the entire seal shone brightly, transforming into a mysterious emerald green pattern engraved on the entire meridian.

In an instant, the entire meridian was illuminated by a hazy blue light, and a tremendous suction force emanated from the meridian, causing the spirit stone in Chu Xuan's hand to dim at a visible speed.

A quarter of an hour later, the spirit stone in Chu Xuan's hand had changed from dark green to emerald green, and its spiritual energy had decreased by at least 20%.

It may not sound like much, but these are mid-grade spirit stones. In previous eras, these were things that Foundation Establishment cultivators would use, not low-grade spirit stones used by Qi Refining cultivators.

Chu Xuan had only condensed one of the forty-eight Dharma Seals; there were still forty-seven remaining.

This Qiankun Yangyuan Jue truly lives up to its reputation as a Qi-cultivation method paired with an immortal scripture, as it consumes far more energy than ordinary cultivation techniques.

However, Chu Xuan's attention was not on the spirit stones at this moment, but on the meridians in his body.

Among the twelve meridians that were originally unremarkable, one suddenly turned emerald green, filled with cyan magic power. It opened from the right hand, passed over the shoulder, entered the dantian, passed through the Crimson Palace, passed through the Niwan Palace, and then reached the left hand, and then circled back to form a large circle!

At this moment, wherever this meridian passes through, there is a flow of blue magical power!
