Chapter 69: 68: Cultivating Samadhi, the Stubborn Stone Monster

Ji Yuan sorted out the other treasure bags, took out the treasure bag containing the spiritual treasures separately, and used his magic power to carefully observe the several spiritual treasures inside.

Lost in thought.

“The importance of magical powers is no less than that of magic weapons. For me, practicing mythical magic weapons is ultimately about comparing the inside and the outside, and using the rhyme of Tao to obtain the true seeds of the magical powers.”

Ji Yuan was considering whether to use ordinary spiritual materials and first refine the mythical magic weapons such as the Yin-Yang Mirror, Qiankun Circle, etc. into magical instruments in the form of the Fantian Seal and the Wind Bag.

First obtain the true seed of the magical power.

Then, after you have achieved some success in supernatural powers, you can then practice to obtain the real magic weapon.

After all, his current status and magical powers are very low. If he gets hold of a magic weapon, I am afraid that even the Dao Miao ancestor will covet it.

But if you use ordinary spiritual materials and only make a magical weapon, you will waste the Taoist charm of the mythical magic weapon appearing in this world.

The reason why a magic weapon is called a magic weapon is because it embodies the rhythm of the heaven and earth, and can be said to be favored by the great way.

This is also the reason why the Fantian Seal and the Wind Bag, despite being made of poor materials, can easily become top-notch magical instruments and even possess some qualities of magical treasures.

It’s all because of the infusion of the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.

Because in this world, there have never been such treasures as the Wind Bag and the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

If Ji Yuan used the magic treasure to refine the Wind Bag and the Heaven-turning Seal now.

It is also impossible to practice it into a magic weapon.

Because it is impossible to attract the infusion of the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth again to transform it into an immortal and indestructible instrument with supreme power.

Without the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth, it would even be inferior to the current Wind Bag and Heaven-turning Seal.

This is also the reason why the magic weapon is unique and cannot be copied.

“Forget it, courage will never satisfy you; if you want to practice, you’d better practice the best, otherwise the reputation of the mythical treasure will be tarnished!” Ji Yuan made up his mind and made a decision.

Directly using spiritual treasures to practice mythical treasures, one must not only obtain the true seeds of magical powers, but also practice magic weapons!

Ji Yuan sat cross-legged in the cave, infecting the Hongmeng Divine Bronze with his magic power and spirit, his mind immersed in the mythological atlas.

Unlike the Dust-Repelling Pearl, which is difficult to cultivate due to its lack of spirituality and poor quality.

This divine copper is the most superior treasure, rich in innate Qi, and can be called the supreme treasure, extremely good for cultivation.

As the magical spirit continued to infect the spiritual treasure, it interacted with the misty aura above the divine copper.

Within the divine bronze, there seemed to be a faint consciousness and spirituality emerging, which was in harmony with Ji Yuan’s mind.

The intercourse of misty energy and spirit makes one feel as if one is observing the great Dao of gods. All kinds of mysteries born before the creation of the world transform into insights and wonderful ideas that constantly pass through one’s mind.

“No wonder Qi cultivators are so eager to acquire spiritual treasures. Apart from anything else, possessing a superior spiritual treasure is like observing the great Dao. One’s cultivation level can be rapidly improved!” This thought flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind.

This feeling was so good, so wonderful that he wished he could stay in seclusion for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

If you can comprehend the great principles contained in the spiritual treasure, your realm and cultivation level can be improved thousands of times.

The spiritual consciousness of the spiritual treasure will completely accept him, and will merge with his spirit and energy, completely transforming into a differentiated consciousness of its own.

Afterwards, this piece of divine copper will be transformed into an innate magic weapon, controlled by him, and he will cultivate it with his life and soul, so that it will become a treasure for him to prove his truth in the future.

This is also the mainstream way for the cultivators of the Six Realms of the Great Wilderness to practice magic weapons, and it is also the only way.

The unusual movement of [Mythological Atlas] interrupted his perception.

In the atlas, rays of spiritual light gather and change constantly, absorbing the mysteries of the divine copper and deriving the technique of refining magic weapons suitable for the great way of this world.

The information turned into a densely packed talisman and a volume of sacrificial techniques, and flooded into his mind.

“Eight Trigrams Furnace!” Ji Yuan digested this information and gained new insights in his mind.

The divine copper is innate and cannot be refined by ordinary fire.

To practice the Bagua Furnace, one must first use essence as the furnace, Qi as the fuel, and spirit as the fire. Only by transforming the innate fire can one melt and forge the divine copper into a furnace, engrave the true talisman and treasure ban, and finally create the mythical treasure [Bagua Furnace].

[Bagua Furnace]: The most precious treasure of Taishang Laojun in the mythology of the previous life, it contains Samadhi Fire and Liuding Fire; it can forge weapons, magic weapons, elixirs and immortal pills.

“What a mysterious and complicated Dao True Talisman!” Ji Yuan felt a headache after just one look.

Compared to one or several Heaven-Flipping Seals and Wind Bag Seals.

There are three hundred and sixty Dao Zhen Talismans in the Bagua Furnace, which are densely packed.

More than that, it’s all about fire.

What are Li fire, Ding fire, Fa fire, collecting fire, banning fire, refining fire, refining smoke…it’s so complicated and vast.

“The so-called innate fire, the fire of Samadhi, turns out that it is not outside, but inside. That’s it!”

The three treasures in the sky are the sun, the moon and the stars; the three treasures on the earth are water, fire and wind; and humans have three treasures: essence, energy and spirit.

Looking at the cultivation of immortals and the practice of Taoism, no matter it is the Nascent Soul method, the Lingguang method, the Golden Elixir method, or the Yuanshen method.

All systems are inseparable from essence, qi and spirit.

Jing is the body, Qi is the magic power, and Shen is the spirit and soul.

“It is all about spirit, energy and vitality, so keep it safe and don’t let it leak out… When the two are intertwined and the life is strong, you can plant the golden lotus in the fire, gather the five elements and use them in reverse, and when you are done, you will become a Buddha or an immortal!”

Laojun is the source of the Tao, and the Bagua Furnace is the source of all treasures.

The Bagua Furnace is not only a magic weapon, but also a magical power, and even more so a method of cultivating the great Dao.

As Ji Yuan comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao, wisps of hazy energy floated throughout the entire cave.

It is invisible and formless, and yet it exists.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

“The entanglement of essence, energy and spirit is the Samadhi fire; it is also the innate fire that can be forged into divine copper!” Ji Yuan opened his eyes, and enlightenment kept flashing in his eyes.

Haven’t started refining treasures yet.

He seemed to have comprehended a new great magical power!
Ji Yuan took a deep breath, and his cheeks and neck turned red as blood.

“Puff!” A ray of fire came out from his mouth and nose.

But in a blink of an eye.

It turned into a wisp of black smoke and went out.

“Hu…Hu…” Ji Yuan breathed heavily.

He was not very skilled in gathering his energy and it was very strenuous. He was also mentally exhausted. In just a short moment, he felt as tired as if he had cast a spell thousands of times continuously.

“It seems to be an illusion. It is not so easy to master great supernatural powers.” Ji Yuan was disappointed.

Looking at the soul, there are still only two talismans.

It was indeed an illusion.

However, it is real that the gathered essence, energy and spirit can transform into Samadhi Fire. Otherwise, not even a spark can be created.

“This Samadhi Fire is really powerful!”

The Samadhi Fire was extremely hot. Just a spark could instantly evaporate all the moisture in the cave from a distance of several feet.

The entire cave looks like a riverbed that has been exposed to the sun for years, with cracked rock walls.

A few feet behind Ji Yuan was an underground river in the cave, several inches deep and about ten feet wide.

But now, the dark river was only illuminated by the Samadhi Fire for a moment, but it had completely dried up.

“I have indeed mastered the Samadhi Fire; but it can only be kept inside my body and cannot be released.” Ji Yuan once again gathered his energy and sank his consciousness into his Dantian.

The vast dantian suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Finally, it turned into a point of golden light in the Dantian, round and bright, illuminating the darkness, like a gem.

Looking closely, it was a glimmer of fire, and also like a golden lotus. All my internal organs, qi and blood were steaming, and I felt my whole body burning, as if it were a branding iron.

Ji Yuan no longer controlled it and opened his eyes. He could feel the flame in his Dantian still gathering within him, constantly condensing his essence, energy and spirit, like an eternal fire.

“Wonderful! Although it cannot be released yet, the Samadhi Fire is truly powerful. We can get a glimpse of its indestructible nature!” Ji Yuan was filled with joy.

The Samadhi Fire in his body constantly tempered his spirit, energy and vitality, just like refining treasures and elixirs. All the evil spirits in his body were repelled. It was truly miraculous.

When the Samadhi Fire is truly cultivated, once a trace of it is released, the flame will be endless. It will burn the soil when it meets the soil, burn the wood when it meets the wood, burn the gold when it meets the gold, and it will burn water even more like a raging fire cooking oil, burning everything.

So when can the Samadhi Fire be cultivated?

Ji Yuan opened his mouth and the essence, energy and spirit in his dantian gathered into a line, mixed with the wood marrow’s [Fire in the Wood] and gushed out.

“Boom!” A green-red flame fluttered in the cave and condensed into substance.

“Crack, crack, crack!” Under the extremely high temperature, the entire cave wall was burned red across several feet. The dripping stones were instantly burned into magma and dripped down.

But it couldn’t touch Ji Yuan within three feet.

Not only that, the blue and red flames turned, absorbing all the magma and fire, becoming even hotter.

“Destroy!” Ji Yuan opened his mouth and sucked the green and red flames into his stomach. The flames fell into his dantian and turned into a fire lotus again.

“After all, there is still a long way to go, it’s almost done.” Ji Yuan frowned.

Mixed with the wood marrow and aerial fire, the Samadhi fire has the property of burning everything and can also be brought out of the body.

But there is still a long way to go.

The temperature and power are still not enough.

You also need to go to some volcanoes, or somewhere else to collect various strange fires similar to the wood marrow fire, and then two or three more.

“It’s an additional method. At least I can calm down the anger!”

“Huh? So much time has passed?” Ji Yuan noticed that the weather outside the cave was not right, and calculated with his fingers, realizing that a year had passed.

Especially when practicing divine copper and comprehending the true talisman of the great way, and being immersed in it, the Qigong practitioner, after reaching a high level of magical power, does not need to eat or drink, and naturally does not notice the passage of time.

“I thought I was an unrivaled genius. With the help of the divine copper and the true talisman, I was able to cultivate the Samadhi Fire in an instant. It turns out that I am not…” Ji Yuan complained about himself.

In fact, in a year, let alone practicing magic, even if one could comprehend a little bit of the key points of magic, one would already have extraordinary comprehension.

Which cultivator would need tens of thousands of years to cultivate magical powers?

Ji Yuan was able to comprehend the magical power of using Samadhi Fire from the Great Dao Talisman in just one year. In addition to his own good comprehension, the most important thing was the blessing of the Xuanhuang Merit Qi on his own foundation and comprehension.

“We have to hurry back to Kunwu Mountain.” Ji Yuan was still thinking about the great achievement of handing in the spiritual realm map to the sect.

Although the spiritual realm had been plundered by himself and plowed through again with his magical powers, Tian Wu’s coffin lid was about to explode.

But if the fellows from the sect rush over there, they might be able to get some benefits, right?

As soon as I stood up, I almost stumbled and fell.

My whole body is a little stiff due to a year of seclusion.

Ji Yuan had never practiced for so long at one time.

I touched my cheeks and looked at my arms. I saw that I was so skinny.

“I have practiced the Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons, which requires a large amount of energy to nourish. I can go without food for a year, but I cannot go without meat.” Ji Yuan took out a bottle of centipede bee spirit juice from his bag and drank it.

The surging essence filled the dry body and was absorbed by the internal organs.

He performed a set of boxing techniques and practiced the Double Golden Whip for a while, until his body became completely relaxed and his blood began to boil.

He took off his wrinkled, dusty, tattered linen clothes and put on the green robe he had worn at the beginning.

Then he stood up and walked out of the cave. Without riding the mist or wind, he took a step and was already several feet away.

She was wearing a green dress with wide sleeves and walked gracefully, murmuring love poems as she went.

“Only cultivating life without cultivating nature is the first problem in cultivation!”

“If you only cultivate your nature but not your life, it will be difficult for your soul to become a saint after countless calamities…”

Nature is the inner cultivation of magic power and spirit, and life is the physical body and martial arts.

By studying the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Ji Yuan understood many truths.

If you only practice physical martial arts, you are like a piece of clay in a kiln; it will run rampant for a while, but will eventually die and decay under the heavy rain.

If you only practice magic power and spirit, it is like looking at flowers in the mirror or catching the moon in the water. It is difficult to achieve eternal immortality.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate essence, energy and spirit together and achieve the fruits of Sanqing Shi, Yuan and Xuan, so as to obtain the true immortality and unbreakable merit.

“My Buddhist name is Lingbao, which is Shangqing.” Ji Yuan smiled.

Not only Shangqing, he can also be Taiqing and Yuqing.

Or, he always was.

……

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Relying on the divine and demonic art of flying across the earth, Ji Yuan walked quite fast and covered thousands of miles.

When we arrived at Taiyue Mountain, we found a mountain range covered with bare red rocks and sparse sea buckthorn trees on both sides.

The fiery aura here is floating for thousands of miles, and it is the Dolomite Rock.

Ji Yuan slowed down his pace, took out a wooden box containing a thousand-year-old elixir from his treasure bag, and held it in his hand.

He opened the wooden box and looked inside as he walked.

He didn’t care at all about the leakage of the spiritual energy of the elixir in the wooden box.

Suddenly, a strong aura of pressure spread out from the dolomite over hundreds of miles and pressed down towards Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan closed the wooden box, mist rose up, and he flew several feet high.

“boom!!!”

A streak of white fire flew from the dolomite into the sky above and suddenly exploded.

It transformed into an old man in a fiery red robe with a short stature, less than three feet tall, with a big head and a small body, a bald head, no eyebrows and no beard; he stretched out two skinny long arms, and his hands were like chicken claws.

It was the famous bandit in Dolomite, the stubborn old monster.

“Bring it to you!”

Without saying a word, the fellow stretched out his chicken claw-like hand, and his dry and yellow nails were like curved hooks, reaching for the wooden box containing the elixir in Ji Yuan’s hand.

Seeing that the distance was only ten feet, the wind in front of them suddenly expanded, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sound of “bang bang” was heard. The wind was so thick that the stubborn stone monster could not open his eyes and could not see his fingers.

“Magic power? Oh no, I’m in trouble!” The old man Stubborn Stone screamed and used his magic power to steady his body in the wind.

And tried to move backwards.

But the wind wrapped around him, rolling like a dragon and spinning in the air like a windmill. It was not easy to keep his body steady and not be blown away, and he couldn’t pull himself out at all.

Just managed to steady his body a little.

The old man Wanshi felt a sense of alarm in his heart. He had been practicing for tens of thousands of years and was also experienced in fighting. He tilted his head without hesitation.

“Zheng!” A golden light, as fast as thunder and lightning, bringing with it a terrifying aura, passed by his head.

Even though he narrowly avoided it, the golden whip still fell and hit his left shoulder with a “bang”.

Suddenly, flames splashed everywhere, and the stubborn stone monster trembled all over. He felt the left half of his body was paralyzed and his internal organs were churning.

Fortunately, the golden whip also knocked him out from the wind, and he flew backwards several feet and fell to the ground, where he finally stabilized his body.

“Huh? You, you are so weak against beatings?” Ji Yuan’s somewhat surprised voice came from the wind.
