Chapter 5: The Five Elements Return to Reality Formula

  After completing the branch task of "basic construction", there is also a daily task "ancestral worship" that can be carried out.

  This task requires a lot. Bathing and dressing in sect attire are relatively easy, as there is already a waterfall and pool on Feiyu Mountain, making it not difficult to bathe; the novice resource gift package also comes with a complete set of sect attire.

  However, sandalwood incense and cattle, sheep and pig heads may not be available in the mountains, so it's probably necessary to buy them at a market outside the mountain.

  Qin Chuan was going to ask Chen Bo, who was in charge of handling the mundane affairs of the sect, and then make a decision.

  Down from the main peak, came to the vice-peak where Chen Bo was located. Qin Chuan inquired and found out that there were sandalwood incense gates in the Tanmu Xiangmen sect, but there were no cattle, sheep or pig heads, which needed to be purchased from a hundred miles away in Lvyang Town.

  In the past, Chen Bo was in charge of purchasing goods for the Feathered Gate. Now that Qin Chuan needs cattle and sheep heads, he made some preparations and immediately wanted to drive a horse-drawn carriage out of the mountain.

  Heng Er, who was assigned by Qin Chuan to follow Chen Bo, also begged Chen Bo to go out together. Chen Bo was quite fond of this clever and agile little servant, so he took him along when he saw that Heng Er wanted to go.

  After much practice, this child may become a good helper in the future.

  The carriage of Huafamen is old and broken, it can't go very fast. The journey of over a hundred miles, back and forth, will probably take two days.

  Qin Chuan decided that while waiting for them to buy the task items, he would take the opportunity to carefully study the cultivation manual "Five Forms Return to Truth".

  "The Five Forms Return to Truth Formula" is a primary cultivation method, consisting of five parts: Tiger Form, Crane Form, Bear Form, Ape Form, and Snake Form. By imitating the postures of these five animals, one can achieve a state of physical strength, health, and return to the truth.

  The flexible five-style moves are not only powerful in battle, but also enhance the practitioner's ability to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  In comparison, the "Five Forms Return to Truth Formula" is not only more exquisite in its moves than the "Feather Transformation Ascension Formula", but also enhances spiritual energy sensitivity, which can increase cultivation speed, and is indeed full of wonderful aspects.

  The most important thing is that the Feather Transformation Gate's "Feather Transformation Ascension Technique" is no longer in its original form and may have errors. Therefore, Qin Chuan made up his mind to abandon the "Feather Transformation Ascension Technique" from today on and focus on cultivating the "Five Forms Return to Truth Technique".

  He went through the entire manual from start to finish, relying on his exceptional memory to commit everything to mind. Qin Chuan focused his attention and began practicing each move in sequence.

  His figure was sometimes majestic and powerful, sometimes agile and nimble, sometimes clumsy, and sometimes mysterious and unpredictable.

  In his mind, there were originally memories left over from practicing the "Feather Transformation and Ascension Technique" before. Adding to that was the detailed explanation in this secret book, Qin Chuan practiced while cross-referencing, feeling that he gained a lot of benefits.

  " Wu Xing Gui Zhen Jue " also records the methods of feeling and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in addition to the five forms boxing spectrum mentioned earlier.

  After practicing the Five Elements Fist several times, a large amount of sweat flowed out from his body. However, Qin Chuan did not feel tired at all. Instead, he felt that the flow of sweat seemed to have a cleansing effect. He felt refreshed and invigorated, and his senses were more acute than before. He could faintly sense that there was a special energy current in the air.

  Is this what they call "the spiritual energy of heaven and earth"?

  Qin Chuan recalled the method of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recorded in the secret book, sat cross-legged on the grass, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, with his heart facing upwards, and began to try to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  The spiritual energy of the universe, a mysterious flow of energy existing between heaven and earth, was summoned by Qin Chuan and gradually gathered around him. It was then absorbed into his body through his breath, slowly spreading to his limbs and becoming nourishment for his body.

  Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, tempering the physical body, is the first realm of cultivating truth - the Qi-refining stage.

  The threshold for entering this realm is very low, as long as the body is not too dull and can feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and understands the correct method, almost everyone can enter the stage of practicing Qi.

  However, after entering the Qi Refining stage, what level can be reached depends on whether there is a spiritual root and how good one's innate talent is. Most cultivators often spend their entire lives stuck in the Qi Refining stage, finding it difficult to break through.

  In fact, the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper their bodies, making them slightly stronger than ordinary people, with greater strength, but they are not considered true cultivators.

  Only when one has entered the stage of building the foundation beyond the stage of cultivating energy, can they transcend the mortal body, prolong their lifespan, and abstain from grains and food, only then can it be said that they have truly stepped into the threshold of true cultivation.

  It's still too early to think about these things now.

  For Qin Chuan, the most important thing now is to quickly raise his strength to above the third layer of Qi Refining. When loose cultivator Song Yang kills his way up to Yu Hua Gate again, he will have enough strength to defeat the external enemy and protect the gate.

  Qin Chu was fully immersed in his cultivation, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and guiding these energies into various parts of his body according to the secret manual, tempering his flesh and strengthening his physique.

  Although the period of cultivating Qi is the lowest level of cultivating truth, it has great importance and is the foundation for all future cultivation. If this foundation is not laid solidly, future achievements will be greatly restricted.

  The most focused and dedicated cultivation, Qin Chuan reopened his eyes to find that he thought it would be noon or afternoon, but unexpectedly discovered that the sky was hazy, with a misty dawn in the east, and it was actually the early morning hours just before sunrise!

  Unconsciously, one day and night have passed like this!

  For a whole day and night, he hadn't eaten anything, but Qin Chuan didn't feel hungry at all. Standing up, he instead felt refreshed and full of energy.

  It is said that only after entering the foundation-building period can one reach the state of Bigu, where one does not need to eat or drink, and can completely rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a source of energy.

  I was only at the first level of Qi Refining, yet I briefly experienced this mystical feeling. Could it be that after a day and night of cultivation, my strength has increased?

  Qin Chuan had originally just been casually thinking about it, but unexpectedly, after bringing up the information interface, he actually discovered that his own data had really changed:

  Name: Qin Chuan

  School: Yuè Huà Mén

  Position: Master

  Ling root: yes

  Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage Two

  Cultivation has advanced to Qi Refining Stage Two!

  Just one day and night of cultivation, and I've already stepped into a new realm. This "Five Forms Return to Truth Formula" is indeed a good thing!

  In fact, the progress of cultivation has been greatly aided by the "Five Forms Return to Truth Formula", but it is not as great as Qin Chuan imagined. The main reason lies in the "Feather Transformation Ascension Formula".

  The fact is the same as Qin Chuan's previous guess. When the fourth generation of the sect lost the "Feather Transformation and Ascension Secret", they searched everywhere but couldn't find it, and their emotions were tense and anxious. Moreover, he originally had a deviation in his understanding of the "Feather Transformation and Ascension Secret". Under the double influence, the secret book that was silently written from memory naturally had many errors.

  It is said that a tiny mistake can lead to a huge error. Such a secret book was passed down in the sect, leading generation after generation of disciples astray, directly causing the decline of the Feather Transformation Sect.

  The original owner of this body had been cultivating in the Yu Huang Gate for many years, although his cultivation was not high, he had accumulated a lot of experience. Now Qin Chuan inherited all his experiences and got the correct cultivation method, plus Qin Chuan was originally intelligent and had strong comprehension power, after a period of cultivation, his strength increased as expected.

  With his own personal experience, Qin Chuan immediately made up his mind. From now on, thoroughly abandon the "Feather Transformation and Ascension Technique", and take the "Five Forms Return to Truth Technique" as the cultivation technique of this sect.
