Chapter 4 The Realm of Spells and Dao Sect Qi Alchemy
"I think it's getting late now, and you don't have to bother looking for an inn anymore, if you don't dislike it, you can just stay in my Yizhuang. Uncle Nine turned around and said.
"In this way, it will disturb the Taoist friends. Xie Yan, who originally had the purpose of getting acquainted with Uncle Jiu, agreed with the boat. But Xie Yan, who has just come into contact with the Dao Law, can sleep anywhere. Then he asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist, I still don't understand the Maoshan technique, I wonder if you can ask for advice?"
"Daoyou are polite, you and I are considered to be from the same family, so we can be commensurate with brothers. Then, Uncle Nine led Xie Yan into the inner room. The two sat down and began to talk about the magic.
Uncle Jiu's Taoism can only be regarded as average in the film and television drama "Mr. Zombie" (equivalent to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, it can be seen in the movie that you can use handprints and charms to achieve the sword against the enemy, and if you concentrate on cultivation for a short time, you can break to the spellless spell casting period, which is the foundation building period) But think about it, Uncle Nine in the movie is just a Taoist priest who opened Yizhuang. However, no matter how much he is stronger than Xie Yan, and both of them have cultivated the Maoshan technique, what they have learned should be similar, so Uncle Jiu's experience is still very meaningful and valuable for him.
Speaking of which, the Maoshan technique that Xie Yan learned from the system can be divided into two realms.
First: borrowing things to cast spells. Hence the name, it is necessary to use specific external objects to assist in the operation. This situation is mostly used by cultivators who have just started cultivating the Tao or who lack mana. This realm can be subdivided into two sub-phases, spell-casting and spell-free casting.
Spell casting is to use the borrowed object on top of the foreign object or the blessing of the spell and magic seal to enhance the power of the spell, and most of the Taoist priests in zombie movies are basically at this stage.
Spellless casting is to comprehend the spell to a certain level and the mana meets the requirements, so that you can do it without reciting the spell to cast the spell, and you can swing it freely. Of course, some people who have reached a high level also use spells, because this can increase the power of their spells very well.
Second: the unity of nature and man. Only cultivators in this realm can be regarded as touching the threshold of the Great Dao, and the magic of subduing demons and subduing demons is at their fingertips, and they are not confined to external objects. Moreover, the means used at this stage are real spells.
Some people will ask, don't spells and spells mean the same thing?
What I want to say is, no, there is a difference. Sorcery is a means to strengthen oneself to change nature, and sorcery is a means to strengthen oneself with the help of nature. Of course, although the way of cultivation is different, the two have the same end. As for the deeper Dao method, this is too far away from Xie Yan, so I won't mention it for the time being.
This realm can also be divided into two levels, one is the perception of heaven and man: that is, what heaven can do, you can sense and "see", so you can feel and recognize the past, present and future of all things in the universe.
The second is the unity of heaven and man: this level is what heaven can do, you can do it, not only to sense and see, but to do it. This is because we are able to know the way of heaven, follow the way of heaven, conform to the way of heaven, and act according to the way of heaven, that is, do nothing for the sake of doing nothing.
Xie Yan was a novice who had just come into contact with the Dao of Cultivation, but he had no way of knowing what the specific concepts of these two realms were.
Most of the Maoshan warlocks in film and television dramas basically stay in the realm of borrowing objects and casting spells in the first stage, and the casting of spells is inseparable from the assistance of external talismans and magic weapons. And the realm of the ninth uncle is at the peak of the first small stage of borrowing things to cast spells, and he may concentrate on cultivation for a period of time, and he will break through the existing realm.
On the other hand, Xie Yan is only one foot and has just stepped into this threshold, so discussing Taoism with Uncle Nine has a lot of inspiration for him.
After talking, Uncle Nine found that although Xie Yan's mana was pure, it was not strong in practical application, so it was all about speeding up the speed of spell casting, spells, and the use of magic weapons.
These are all things that he has summed up after countless verifications and battles. Xie Yan couldn't help but secretly admire Uncle Jiu's combat experience, and at the same time, he was also very grateful for his teaching. Because for Xie Yan, these experiences are more suitable.
In this way, the two unknowingly chatted for a night, but they did not feel sleepy. You must know that this knowledge is too profound and difficult to understand for the two apprentices of Uncle Jiu, and every time he wants to teach Qiusheng and Wencai, the two of them are like chickens and ducks, and they all look at him blankly. Now that I finally ran into Xie Yan, I found that as long as he clicked a little, Xie Yan not only understood, but could also draw inferences.
This made Uncle Jiu's speech a flying eyebrow, but Xie Yan also listened to it with relish. At this moment, a rooster crow came, and the two of them pulled out of the world of Taoism, Xie Yan and the two looked at each other and smiled, and Uncle Nine said: "I don't know if I have spent the night unconsciously, I blame me for being too fascinated and delaying the rest of my junior brother." ”
"Senior brother is polite, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years! Xie Yan said.
Gradually, the two have become brothers and sisters, and the relationship has changed substantially.
"Senior brother, let's go and rest first, someone will come to me to discuss some things later, you also follow, let's go and taste foreign tea together." ”
Xie Yan listened to his words, but he smiled secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the movie where Uncle Jiu took Wencai to drink tea together.
"Senior brother, isn't this not good, after all, I am inviting you, will it be inappropriate for me to go. As he spoke, he wanted to go, because he wanted to experience this funny clip in the movie for himself.
Uncle Nine was displeased and said, "What's this, are our senior brothers still so clear?" Seeing that Uncle Yi said this, Xie Yan also agreed duplicitously. Then Uncle Nine was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Xie Yan: "Senior brother, I don't know if you have ever drunk foreign tea? Is it the same as the tea we usually drink? Yes, you have just come out of the mountain to practice, you must not have drunk it." Before Xie Yan could say anything, Uncle Nine had already answered for him.
Then he whispered to himself: "It seems that this time I want to let this kid Wen Cai follow." ”
Xie Yan heard it clearly beside him. I was a little speechless in my heart, I didn't seem to have answered yet, but you were better and finished for me in one go.
In the end, I had no choice but to say goodbye to Uncle Jiu, and went back to the wing room to rest.
Lying on the bed, although Xie Yan's eyes were open, but when he looked closely, his eyes were blank, obviously thinking about something else. At this moment, he is thinking about the plot over and over again, for fear that there will be a small place to be missed, and in the end it is himself who is unlucky.
It's not a movie, and there's no chance to do it all over again. This is the real world. There is only one life, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness. After a long time, I felt that there was no difference in the plot in my memory, so I retracted my mind.
After a while, Xie Yan felt a little tired and wanted to close his eyes and rest, but his mind couldn't help but think of a series of experiences during the day, which made him feel no sleep. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes and said to himself: "I just got the Qi Refining Technique, why don't I cultivate now and try what it's like." ”
So he sat up cross-legged and looked at himself according to the method introduced in his mind, but what he saw startled him. It turned out that his mana had unknowingly improved from the first layer of qi refining to the second layer of qi refining period.
What is the situation, is it a problem with this exercise?
Thinking of this, Xie Yan, who was panicked, hurriedly asked the system: "System, what's going on with the mana in my body?
"Please don't worry about the host, all the exercises that the host redeems in the system can be operated by themselves. However, the growth rate of mana is mainly determined by physical qualifications. Because of the fusion of the system and the host, the host's qualifications and promotion to the innate Dao body will make the mana grow so rapidly.
Of course, if the host takes the initiative to cultivate, the smoother the operation of the exercises, the faster the cultivation speed will be correspondingly. ”
Xie Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, this!? This is the rhythm that is going to be made! Hurriedly asked happily: "System, then how long will it take for me to cultivate to become an immortal? And how is this realm level divided?"
"If there is no adventure, it will take about 300 years under normal circumstances, but the Daomen Qi Alchemy is only the basic Taoist exercise, and the Dacheng of the Gong Fa is only the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period. Not to mention cultivating to become an immortal.
The realm of cultivation can be divided into two in detail: Qi refining period→ foundation building period→ Jindan period→ Yuan infant period→ out-of-body period→ distraction period→ transformation period→ tribulation period→ Mahayana period, in addition to the Qi refining period divided into twelve layers, the next eight realms, each major realm is divided into four small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection.
In fact, the foundation building period can be regarded as entering the door of cultivating immortals, and once you enter the foundation, the immortals will say goodbye forever. After entering the golden pill period, he can be regarded as a real immortal cultivator (cultivator), as the so-called 'swallowing a golden pill into the stomach, my life is up to me, not heaven.' As for the later realm, please work hard to improve your own cultivation, and don't be too ambitious for the time being. ”
"It's going to take so long, I thought that I could be like in the novel, and I could get mixed up after practicing for decades. I'm still a modified qualification. Xie Yan said with a disappointed face.
Immediately, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought: "The system just said that in general, I am a man with a golden finger, and I can completely complete the survival points obtained by the tasks released by the system in various worlds, and exchange them for the elixir for cultivation!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "System, can you exchange it for medicines suitable for my follow-up exercises and cultivation?"
"Yes, the exercises and elixirs in the system are collected in various novels and film and television works, as long as the host survival point reaches a certain amount, there is always one suitable for you. ”
"Hehe, are you a graduate of Lanxiang Technical School, majoring in product sales! There is always one that suits me!" Xie Yan was almost powerless to complain, but hearing that there were items suitable for his own exchange in the follow-up made him feel at ease.
