The Supreme White Works Slowly Cultivating Immortality Slowly Cultivating Immortality Slowly Cultivating Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 68 Sixty-Eight, Micro Heart Method

  People advised him to retreat but Cheng Ze didn't move.

  Except for those cultivators who were raised by Baiyue from a young age and have a contract with Baiyue, the rest of the cultivators who joined halfway are very free. Both parties are mutually beneficial, and it's not about restraint. Even if they don't receive a task for a hundred or a thousand years, it doesn't matter. After becoming a Xian, cultivation is difficult, and closed-door meditation is a common occurrence. One or two years is considered short, four or five decades is normal, and hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years are not uncommon. Who knows when this Zi Dong will appear?

  Moreover, the other party was also an old acquaintance of Zidong, and Cheng Ze had already determined in his heart that the other party was evading comparison with others. He looked displeased and finally confirmed: "Do you insist on waiting?"

  "Yes," Xiao Yao didn't back down, at this moment she couldn't care less about what others thought, Zi Dong had repeatedly set her up three to five times, it had already reached the point of "what can be tolerated and what cannot", this time she was also at odds with him, how could she fulfill his wishes?!

  The negotiations broke down, and Cheng Ze didn't say much more, only saying: "I hope that when the time comes, fellow Taoists will fulfill their promises and take care of themselves."

  Staring blankly as things came to nothing, there was no play to watch, and the crowd dispersed in twos and threes. Xiao Yao, who had not gained everyone's recognition, had no one to talk to her, either avoiding her with a dull expression or showing a mocking and disdainful look.

  Xiao Yao said with a hint of ridicule, "Isn't the consequence of not being recognized just being isolated and excluded? Using public opinion to pressure me? She's already used to being alone, and her skin is quite thick, so this kind of 'attack' that doesn't cause any substantial harm seems like child's play to her, completely ignored. Seriously selecting a suitable task from the task list, she left the square and started busy with her own affairs.

  The tasks posted on the Benyuan list are indeed much more difficult than those posted in the White Jade Pavilion. The materials required are not ordinary ones, they all grow in dangerous places where people rarely set foot, or they are skin and bones of powerful flying beasts. Of course, the merit gained from completing a task is also twice that of the White Jade Pavilion.

  Xiao Yao tried a couple of times, and her cultivation life in Benyuan officially began. In addition to receiving tasks and daily alchemy and meditation, she also took out the other spell jade slip given by Zi Dong to study and comprehend.

  The "Micro Heart Method" contains a refined five-sensory heart method, the entire book is compiled with ancient characters, it can be seen that the years are long gone, and it is unknown where Zidong came from. Xiao Yao only roughly flipped through it once, and immediately became extremely interested in this method.

  In ancient times, practitioners referred to the eight consciousnesses as "divine consciousness," but because the eight consciousnesses encompassed eight types of consciousness, especially the last two, which were abstruse and profound, it was extremely difficult to cultivate and elevate all eight together. However, as time passed, predecessors found this too troublesome and simplified and redefined them. Since spiritual power can generally replace the first five consciousnesses in ordinary situations, and the last two require contemplation of the origin, they are difficult to accomplish. Thus, they eliminated the first five consciousnesses with specific objects and the abstruse and incomprehensible last two, only cultivating the sixth consciousness, namely spiritual power. This lazy approach was widely disseminated at the time and has continued to this day, so that "divine consciousness" no longer carries its original broad meaning but refers solely to spiritual power.

  However, even if only one sense is left, the divine sense still has a significant meaning for cultivators. Cultivators perceive the outside world mostly through it, and the stronger the divine sense is, the wider the range of perception will be, which can avoid disasters. However, no matter how good the divine sense is, there are times when it's not clear, especially in some special terrain environments such as secret realms and dangerous lands. These places often have a certain confusion and obstruction to the divine sense due to environmental factors.

  This "Micro Heart Method" is a perfect auxiliary method for the divine sense, providing cultivation methods for the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, divided into three major realms: upper heart movement, heart enlightenment, and heart completion. Once the divine sense is confused or obstructed, it can be perceived through the five senses, and even if it reaches the realm of heart enlightenment, it can still rely on the five senses to break through hidden body and breath techniques.

  I still remember that I once obtained a stack of invisible transmission symbols from Zidong in the Taiji boundary immortal mansion. After learning this method, I should be able to see through such tricks. Thinking of Zidong's frequent sneaky visits to harass me, Xiao Yao felt that this mind method was indeed practical. At the same time, she had a deeper understanding of Zidong's shamelessness and cunning.

  At the beginning of her cultivation, she had to follow the correct sequence and use her yuanqi to temper and strike the heart method marked with eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and thousands of acupoints and meridians. If she made a mistake in one acupoint, she would have to start all over again. Moreover, throughout the entire process, she could not use her spiritual awareness. As a result, Xiaoyao, who was accustomed to releasing her spiritual awareness at any time, found every day extremely difficult. Sometimes, she even had to seal off four of her senses and leave only one sense outside to perceive, stumbling and struggling in a very sorry state. However, deep down, she felt extremely fulfilled and tirelessly devoted herself to cultivation.

  Day after day, Xiao Yao spent her days busily and fulfillingly, and more than half a year passed in this way. During this time, she never encountered any disturbance from Zi Dong, and the people who were plotting in the courtyard were cold in their attitude and had no other movements. Instead, several ladies from nearby would occasionally come to visit, but she ignored them all and focused solely on her cultivation.

  On this day, the leopard that had been quiet for a long time suddenly came out from his dantian and threw a jade slip to him in a loud voice: "Here! The old man has finished writing the formula!"

  Xiao Yao was currently practicing the "Micro Heart Method", covering her eyes and relying on her sense of hearing to distinguish sounds. Before the leopard's sound had even fallen, she had already accurately caught the jade slip thrown by the leopard.

  The leopard, who had been compiling her skills for a long time, knew something about her practice of "Micro Heart Method". Seeing that she was blindfolded at this moment, it first showed its might by baring its teeth at her, and then swiped its paw past.

  But just as the leopard's sharp claws were about to hit her nose, she slightly turned her body and grabbed the leopard's neck with a swift and precise movement. With lightning speed, she delivered three consecutive slaps on its forehead, saying: "Don't think that just because I'm blindfolded, you can deceive me."

  "Ah! What the...?! I was just trying to loosen up a bit and you hit me on the head again?!"

  After more than half a year of cultivation, even if she couldn't see or hear, Xiao Yao could still accurately perceive her surroundings with the other three senses. So she didn't bother to listen to its excuses, removing the cloth covering her eyes while extending her divine sense into the jade slip.

  After a cursory glance, she gazed at the leopard staring back at her and asked with some concern: "Are you sure it's really okay? Won't there be another situation where you're practicing and suddenly go through another trial?"

  This time, the leopard didn't confront her directly, but instead scratched his ear with his paw and said: "I don't know, I can only guarantee that as long as I continue to cultivate, I won't have any problems with my meridians reversing or going crazy. As for the heavenly tribulation, it's all up to your own luck."

  Xiao Yao's brow furrowed slightly, this was also too irresponsible! But thinking about it again, it was just a beast, and there was no way to reason with it. Anyway, the practice had to be done, whether or not it was done, regardless of whether this path ultimately led to heaven or hell, she could only force herself to press on, who made this her only choice.

  She let out a soft sigh and decided to fix it first, then think of ways to solve any abnormalities that might appear.

  The completion of the technique means that Xiao Yao's practice time becomes more pressing, and the refinement of equipment is temporarily put aside. She no longer accepts tasks and devotes herself wholeheartedly to the new technique and the study of "Wei Xin Fa". From this day on, she wishes there were 24 hours a day for her to dispose of, alternating between the two techniques, only closing her eyes to rest for a moment when exhausted. Day and night almost lose their meaning.

  More than half a year passed, and in "Micro Heart Method", Xiao Yao finally entered the heart-moving realm, and her five senses became even more sensitive. Even without using her spiritual sense, she could see the patterns on the wings of mosquitoes flying ten meters away, and hear the sound of their flapping wings. However, her progress in cultivating her skills was not as optimistic. Sitting in meditation for a week, absorbing essence and energy to fill her dantian with qi that flowed throughout her meridians was a much slower process than it had been during her yuan ying period. Moreover, Xiao Yao's xian crystals were now completely depleted, so her dantian was like a bottomless pit, only absorbing the xian energy brought by Baozi, but without any noticeable effect. She could only persist in accumulating it for tens of days or half a month before seeing some slight effects. It took more than half a year to complete one and a half cycles of Zhou Tian, which was already known to be difficult, but she had not realized just how difficult until she personally experienced it.

  It was at this time that Xiao Yao began to miss Yang Tuo extremely, and whenever she had some free time, she would think about how the divine beast still hadn't appeared. Unfortunately, her eager anticipation didn't bring about Yang Tuo's appearance, but instead unexpectedly welcomed the day of the Small Sky Heaven's Tian Wei's baptism by fire.

  The spiritual beast and its master are mentally connected, so Xiaoyao sensed that Xiao Jun would undergo heavenly tribulation to refine his human form two days later.

  The demon beast transforms, the heavenly power is vast and powerful. In fact, it's not just the heavenly power that's dangerous. After tempering its body, the demon beast will have a period of weakness, during which it can easily be targeted by cultivators or other demon beasts. Therefore, the choice of location for tempering must be carefully considered, and one must find a place that is rarely visited by humans and is well-hidden.

  After making some simple preparations, Xiao Yao took the "Ling Kong Ji Zi" where Little You was and left the White Jade Courtyard. After carefully studying the map, she accelerated her footwork and headed towards the westernmost part of Meishan Floating Island. From the map, it could be seen that in the west, there was a large area of desolate mountains, where the yuanqi was thin, the terrain was complex, and various towering trees surrounded it, making it a good choice.

  In the depths of the desolate mountains, Xiao Yao searched for a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides and had the leopard set up an obstacle-illuminating formation around it before releasing the small falcon from the "Ling Kong Jie Zi".

  At this time, the small hawk's whole body was radiating a silver-white glow, dazzling to the eyes, and its whole body was filled with an aura that oppressed people. After it came out, it gently rubbed its head against Xiao Yao, seemingly somewhat anxious and uneasy.

  Xiao Yao himself had also experienced Tian Wei's baptism by fire, and at the time it was a narrow escape from death. At this moment, he naturally understood Xiao Yun's expectations and unease.

  She stroked the soft down on Xiao Hui's head, whispering words of encouragement: "You just go through your trials, I'll always be by your side to protect you, and never let anyone disturb you."

  The little falcon gradually calmed down after being comforted by its owner. Everything is now ready, just waiting for the heavenly sign.
