49: Chapter 49 Chen Yanhu, Qi Refining Enters the Body

The harsh winter on the barren plains was difficult and hard to endure!

But fortunately, it came quickly and went quickly!

After the New Year, the Lifeng Plain was no longer as cold as it was in winter!

The earth warmed up, and all things revived.

The small Chen family courtyard returned to its busy rhythm once again.

Chen Qingshan did not act rashly just because he had obtained a Magical Artifact and his strength had greatly increased; instead, he was even more cautious.

Every time he went out to hunt Yao Beasts, he would definitely go with trusted people like Big Tooth Dong, accompanied by at least three other Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivators to look after each other.

Jiang Rou continued to go to the West Market every day to set up a stall, selling the Rejuvenation Talismans and golden armor talismans made by Chen Qingyuan, as well as some Yao Beast Materials!

As she became more familiar with managing the small stall, she would occasionally buy Materials from other Loose Cultivators at low prices and resell them to earn the price difference.

Although the profit from each transaction was meager, with steady accumulation, it gradually became a stable source of extra income.

Chen Qingtang began to refer to the methods in the secret record of cloud talismans to make Qinghe talisman paper!

Unfortunately, a key Material mentioned in the secret record, 'Qinghe Spiritual Plant,' did not grow on this Lifeng Plain.

She could only use the dozen or so different Spiritual Plants she could find on hand to test repeatedly.

The process was tedious and boring, but she enjoyed it, determined to contribute something to the Chen family.

As for Chen Qingyuan, he planned his time strictly.

Every day, without fail, he drew fourteen spiritual talismans: eight Rejuvenation Talismans and six golden armor talismans!

The remaining time, apart from the necessary medicine-taking and Cultivation, as well as practicing the Hui Feng Sword Technique, was almost entirely devoted to teaching the three juniors.

Nowadays, the three members of the Yan generation of the Chen family were actually not too bad.

Fourteen-year-old Chen Yanhu, ten-year-old Chen Yansu, and five-year-old Chen Yanchuan.

Chen Yanhu had Gold, Fire, and Earth Spiritual Roots; his Aptitude was considered medium, but on this Lifeng Plain, it was already considered remarkable, and one could say he had a promising future for Foundation Establishment.

Chen Yansu had Fire, Earth, Water, and Wood Spiritual Roots; her Aptitude was not good, but it was not without hope.

If she practiced diligently from a young age, she would always have one or two opportunities to attempt Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty, even if the hope was slim.

Moreover, this child had suffered cold looks and insults since she was young, and her character was tough and hardworking!

Chen Qingyuan was also willing to help her a little.

As for the five-year-old Chen Yanchuan, he had not yet reached the age to test Spiritual Roots, and he was completely unable to guide Qi into the body!

At this moment, he was purely an 'extra.'

Since he was watching one sheep, he might as well watch three; Chen Qingyuan simply brought the three of them with him.

It could also relieve some energy for his sister-in-law, allowing her more time to Cultivate, which was also a good thing.

That afternoon, the sun was just right.

Chen Qingyuan called the three children into the courtyard, and three cushions were laid out in a row!

He began to explain the most basic and critical step of Cultivation to them—guiding Qi into the body.

Guiding Qi into the body is the Foundation for our generation of Cultivators to embark on the Dao path.

Chen Qingyuan's voice was calm, and his language was as easy to understand as possible!

Between heaven and earth, it is not empty, but filled with infinite 'Spiritual Qi'.

They are invisible and intangible, like a breeze, yet they are everywhere.

And for those of us with Spiritual Roots, the first step of Cultivation is to calm the mind and concentrate!

Use your heart to feel the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, and guide them into your body; this is guiding Qi into the body...

The process of guiding Qi requires great patience and the abandonment of distracting thoughts!

The first priority is the word 'quiet'—the body must be quiet, and the heart must be even quieter!

Forget the noise of the outside world, forget the perception of the body, immerse all your mind into your body, following the guidance of the Cultivation Technique...

When you successfully perceive the Spiritual Qi, and try to guide it into your body, run it along the Meridians of the Cultivation Technique, and finally store it in the Dantian Qi Sea!

Then you have truly stepped into the first layer of the Qi Refinement Stage...

Chen Qingyuan explained very meticulously!

So, have you understood? If you have any doubts, please bring them up as soon as possible!

We... understand... Ninth Uncle!

Among the three, Chen Yanhu had the purest mind and the highest Aptitude.

Although that high fever in his childhood damaged part of his Divine Soul, Cultivation had instead become an advantage!

He always had an innocent heart! He could not be disturbed by external distractions!

Persistently, he silently recited in his heart over and over again: 'Gold... Fire... Earth... Come...'

It was precisely this persistence that, after about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a sudden change occurred!

Three-colored light spots began to swim around Chen Yanhu's body!

Is this going to succeed?

Chen Qingyuan was overjoyed and immediately guided him in a low voice!

Quick, Xiao Hu, follow the method I just mentioned and guide them into your body!

Xiao Su, take Xiao Chuan to wait on the side, don't disturb him!

Okay, Little Uncle!

Chen Yansu immediately and sensibly pulled her younger brother Chen Yanchuan to retreat far away.

Once, twice... Chen Yanhu was tireless, patiently repeating the method Chen Qingyuan taught him, time after time.

Finally, as the sun set.

The wandering Spiritual power received the call and gently merged into his body, starting to flow along the running route of the 'Qi Guiding Art'.

Chen Yanhu slowly opened his eyes, curiously examining his own hands.

Ninth Uncle... I... have I succeeded?

Chen Qingyuan stepped forward, placed his fingers gently on his pulse, and a wisp of Divine Sense probed into his body.

Sure enough! Although this wisp of Spiritual power was weak, it was undoubtedly the first layer of Qi Refining.

Good! Good boy!

Spiritual Qi moves on its own, and returns to the Qi Sea! Congratulations, today you have officially guided Qi into the body and stepped into the first layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. From now on, you are a true practitioner of the Dao!

Saying this, looking at him, he felt more and more satisfied.

Chen Yanhu had a pure mind and very few distracting thoughts, and he had only been in contact with Cultivation for a few months.

This speed was only slightly slower than his own dual Spiritual Root talent, far beyond what ordinary three-Spiritual Root Cultivators could compare to.

Since his Transmigration, Chen Qingyuan had always been cautious!

At this moment, he rarely laughed heartily and patted Chen Yanhu on the shoulder hard.

That's it! Remember this feeling! You must practice like this every day from now on!

Although Chen Yanhu didn't fully understand why his Ninth Uncle was so happy, he could feel that heartfelt praise and followed suit, grinning honestly.

O-okay... Ninth Uncle!

Chen Yansu, who was on the side, took all of this in, her fingertips clutching the corner of her clothes turning slightly white.

Congratulations to my brother for guiding Qi into the body and embarking on the path of immortality! From now on, heaven and man will resonate, and the Dao path can be expected!

Th-thank... Second Sister!

Chen Yansu had experienced hardships since she was a child, and her mentality was far more mature than her honest brother Chen Yanhu.

She could also understand the weight behind the four words 'guiding Qi into the body' better than him.

Chen Qingyuan keenly noticed that deep in the little girl's bright eyes, besides joy, a hot flame had quickly ignited—that was a strong desire to win.

He reached out and rubbed the little girl's head!

Little girl, having a desire to win is a good thing, but remember, being too rigid is easy to break, and haste makes waste.

The way of Cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; that is the long-term plan!

You have your own talent and intelligence, I have never doubted it, you don't have to compare yourself with others in everything!

Yes, Little Uncle, Su Su remembers.

It was as if she was doing something bad and was discovered by a teacher.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and immediately nodded obediently.
