Chapter 41 Innate True Qi, Methods of Protecting the Dao
Catalyst, oxidation reaction, targeted injection...
Bai Sheng had roughly skimmed through these concepts when he investigated steelmaking before.
But I didn't think in that direction.
Now it seems,
These so-called impurities are not independent particles.
Essentially, it is a certain isomer or oxidation state of the true qi molecule.
Physical pressure and centrifugation cannot break the molecular bonds.
What's needed is a chemical reaction!
Create a localized environment within the internal energy that can trigger an oxidation reaction.
React away the impurity gas molecules!
Bai Sheng entered meditation again.
This time,
Carefully, a wisp of extremely fine true energy was peeled away from the edge of the star wheel.
This time he didn't try to compress it.
The intention split it into two streams.
Make them collide at extremely high speeds.
The two streams of true energy collided in the center of the dantian.
moment,
A tiny burst of heat flashed from the point of impact.
boom!
Accompanied by a few wisps of light gray debris,
"These debris must be a mixture of gases."
He did it again, this time separating two even larger strands of true energy to collide.
The heat emitted at the collision point was even brighter.
More gray debris.
After the collision point absorbs the residue from the reaction between true qi and impurities,
Instead of weakening, it became even brighter and more stable.
Bai Sheng tried it several times in a row, and succeeded each time.
The true energy in his dantian became increasingly pure with each targeted cleansing.
There is no longer any stickiness when it is running.
Nearly two days,
Bai Sheng repeatedly and precisely cleared the ball of true energy from his dantian.
I checked it over.
Confirm that the star wheel is rotating smoothly and that the true energy is clear.
There is no longer any stickiness.
"This time it should be fine!"
Following the incantation of the Qi Condensation Method, Bai Sheng once again activated the Star Wheel in his Dantian.
The true qi spun in place within the dantian, and its temperature suddenly rose.
But this time it wasn't deformed or bounced back after being pressed.
It contracts slowly and steadily at high temperatures.
Bai Sheng gritted his teeth.
Introspection
He controlled the flow of qi and blood from his limbs and bones towards his dantian.
A uniform pressure wall is formed around the outer layer of true qi.
The pressure wall contracted inward inch by inch.
Under the combined effects of high temperature and high pressure, the internal energy began to liquefy.
The edges of the star wheel are the first to show changes.
On the surface of the swirling gas cloud, a few extremely fine drops of pale golden liquid true energy condensed.
It slowly slides down and flows into the bottom of the dantian.
One drop, two drops, three drops.
More and more liquid true energy condensed from the gaseous star wheel.
It pooled together into a small, pale golden liquid.
It rotates endlessly at the bottom of the dantian.
The gaseous star wheel has shrunk in size by nearly half.
However, the density of liquid true qi is hundreds of times greater than that of gaseous qi.
The energy contained in every drop of liquid true qi
Both far exceed the gaseous true qi of the same volume.
Bai Sheng steadied his breathing, allowing the Qi Condensation Technique to operate on its own.
He no longer needs to deliberately urge it.
The whole process lasted about 45 minutes.
When the last drop of liquid true qi merged into the bottom of the dantian,
The gaseous star wheel has shrunk to one-third of its original size.
At the bottom of his dantian, a shallow layer of pale golden liquid true qi had accumulated.
Small black characters popped up in front of me.
[Qi Condensation Technique - Level 1: 0/10]
A sudden realization dawned on Bai Sheng.
He can now transform parts of his body into the form of innate true energy.
The Qi Condensation Technique has nine levels.
After reaching the first level of entry, one can transform parts of their body into vapor.
By then,
Flesh and bones temporarily transform into the form of innate true energy.
The external force cuts through and penetrates the true qi.
However, it cannot harm the physical entity.
Bai Sheng slowly opened his eyelids.
He got up and rummaged through the coffee table drawer, pulling out a fruit knife.
He pointed the blade at his left little finger and gestured with it.
"Meow!"
A calico baby lying on the sofa armrest, licking its paws.
I was startled when I saw him pick up the knife.
Its ears twitched twice, then it paused for a moment.
Bai Sheng took several deep breaths.
Concentrate your mind and activate the first level of Qi Condensation Technique.
The pool of pale golden liquid true energy at the bottom of his dantian trembled slightly.
A wisp of extremely fine innate true essence ascended from the Ren meridian.
Pour it into the little finger of your left hand.
A very faint golden light appeared on the surface of the skin of the little finger.
Bones and flesh gradually blurred under the influence of true essence.
The entire finger turned into a translucent pale gold outline.
"It seems the route of cultivation is correct."
Point the fruit knife at your little finger.
"Meow—!"
The calico cat sprang up from the sofa armrest.
It bumped into Bai Sheng's leg.
It clung to his knees with its two front paws, shaking its head desperately.
The cries were sharp and urgent.
Bai Sheng looked down at the little calico dog on his lap, who was anxiously spinning around.
He aimed the fruit knife at his little finger again and cut down without hesitation.
The blade pierced through my fingers without any resistance whatsoever.
However, I didn't feel any sensation of my skin being cut open.
The blade sliced right through the middle of my fingers.
It's like cutting a sliver of smoke with a knife.
As the little finger pierced through the blade...
It dispersed into a wisp of pale golden innate true energy.
It spun around both sides of the blade.
After the blade completely pierced through, it reassembled and returned to its original shape as a finger.
"What do you think?"
Bai Sheng raised his left hand and waved it in front of the kitten.
All five fingers were intact.
There wasn't a single red mark.
The calico cat stared at his hand, then looked up at his face.
He continued to howl, clutching his knees.
"You silly little cat."
Bai Sheng lifted the calico cat off his lap and scratched its belly.
I noticed that Sanhua was still grimacing and breathing air towards the fruit knife.
"..."
Bai Sheng sat down on the sofa.
Feel the different changes all over my body.
With each breakthrough in Qi Condensation Technique, the body takes one step closer to its innate state.
At that time, flesh and bones will gradually be assimilated by innate true essence.
When you reach the ninth level of perfection...
The entire body can be transformed into innate true energy.
At that stage, it's no longer localized vaporization.
The entire being transforms from a material form into a pure energy form.
The physical body is no longer a constraint.
They can ride the wind and fly through the air.
The original words in the Taoist text are: "When the body unites with the Tao, both form and spirit become wondrous."
Translate it into plain language that he can understand.
At that time, they will be almost like immortals.
To live as long as heaven, almost infinity.
Even if a nuclear bomb were to strike, his entire body would transform into innate true energy, leaving him completely unharmed.
This is practically immortal!
I glanced at the panel and saw that my cultivation points were already down to single digits.
There are eight more levels after the Qi Condensation Technique.
It's easy to imagine that the cultivation points required for each level are several times that of the previous level, and it's simply impossible to accumulate enough in a short period of time.
"Never mind, there's no rush."
Even now, Bai Sheng is quite satisfied.
The physical body is transformed into true qi.
The body is now impervious to blades and bullets.
After calming down, I opened the book on innate Taoism and read a few more pages.
It's clearly written in the book.
After entering the Innate True Qi Realm, one can choose several spells as methods of protection.
The latter half of the Taoist book lists several sets of spells.
He flipped through the pages, one by one, and then his eyes lit up.
One Qi Righteous Yang Sword.
This sword technique uses innate true energy to condense sword energy.
The purer the true energy, the sharper the sword energy.
When one cultivates to a high level, one can release sword energy to injure people from a distance.
Swordsmanship itself consumes a considerable amount of internal energy.
However, the first level of Qi Condensation Technique has already formed liquid true essence, the density of which is a hundred times that of gaseous true essence of the same level.
It's more than enough to activate this sword technique.
Bai Sheng suddenly remembered Captain Chen.
The middle-aged sheriff had a label floating above his head that read "Grandmaster of Kendo."
When they met at the police station last time, the system notified him that he had gained some insights into swordsmanship.
They all learned the basics of Kendo because of this.
Kendo Lv1 is a passive ability.
It improves the speed of comprehension of all sword techniques and the instinctive judgment of sword intent.
If one were to learn the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword technique based on this foundation, would the efficiency be higher than simply learning other spells?
