The booklet is illustrated with text and pictures. The first page of the first level of Qi Refining is a diagram of the human meridians, with the various acupuncture points of the human body marked.
Next to it is another diagram that depicts the route and sequence of the spiritual energy after it enters the body, and the explanation is quite detailed.
The fundamental purpose of the first level of Qi Refining is to allow a mortal to learn to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, most places in the mortal world do not have sufficient spiritual energy, and cultivation is extremely slow, and it may not be successful even after years or decades.
Therefore, if you want to practice smoothly, you must have a constant supply of spiritual stones to provide spiritual energy.
Some people practice slowly, which may not necessarily mean that they are not talented. It may also be because they do not have enough spiritual stones, resulting in low practice efficiency, which is why they are surpassed by others.
Or they encounter a bottleneck in practice and do not have enough spiritual stones to break through the bottleneck.
For example, the upgrade of each level in the Qi Refining Period, the impact of the perfect Qi Refining Tenth Level to the Foundation Building, the perfect impact of the late Foundation Building to the Golden Core... all require a lot of spiritual energy support.
If there is a high-quality and sufficient supply of spiritual stones, the chance of breaking through the bottleneck will naturally increase.
Unless a great immortal master supports them or they have a chance encounter, beginners are always short of spirit stones. Even if they join an immortal sect, the low-grade spirit stones they are given every month are far from enough to cover their consumption.
Even foundation-building and core-forming cultivators are no exception. Although they get more low-grade spirit stones, their consumption is also greater, so most people are still stretched to the limit.
Even if one becomes a Nascent Soul, one still cannot escape this vicious circle. At the Nascent Soul level, generally speaking, one does not lack low-grade spiritual stones. Even if one becomes an elder or guest official in a sect, one can get low-grade spiritual stones.
However, at the Nascent Soul level, one does not need ordinary low-grade spiritual stones. As one's cultivation level improves, the spiritual energy content and quality of low-grade spiritual stones are far from meeting the requirements of Nascent Soul cultivation.
Nascent Soul cultivators need to use mid-grade spirit stones to practice in order to keep up with the pace of cultivation, but mid-grade spirit stones are also difficult to obtain, so Nascent Soul cultivators also lack spirit stones!
The first level of Qi Refining is mainly about absorbing spiritual energy into the body, accumulating as much spiritual energy as possible in the body, and then after the spiritual energy accumulates to a critical point, it will explode, thereby changing the mortal's physical constitution and having an effect similar to the I Ching marrow cleansing, laying the foundation for long-term practice in the future.
Yuanxiao took a sitting position, took out a few purified low-grade spiritual stones, and placed his hands flat on his legs, with a few low-grade spiritual stones placed between his palms. He stared at the spiritual energy flow chart in front of him, trying to follow the spiritual energy flow route and stimulate the spiritual energy to flow throughout his body.
In the previous selection test, Yuan Xiao's spiritual energy running speed was rated orange, and the spiritual energy absorption rate was even 10 stars. The reason why Yunhaimen set up this test procedure is because the spiritual energy running speed and spiritual energy absorption of a cultivator have a great impact on the cultivation effect of a cultivator.
In just a few moments, the spiritual energy has circulated in the body many times along the predetermined route. At the same time, while flowing through the acupuncture points and meridians throughout the body, the spiritual energy is also continuously absorbed by the body.
Fortunately, Yuanxiao had several spirit stones in his hands, which continuously provided new spiritual energy into his body, so that the spiritual energy in his body was not cut off due to continuous absorption.
Soon Yuan Xiao noticed that the spiritual stone in his hand had turned from white to dark gray because of the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
Yuan Xiao threw the spent spiritual stone to the ground, and the dark gray spiritual stone unexpectedly became fragile and broke into several pieces with just one throw.
