13. The three branches of cultivation

After Lu Bei taught Ye Xiaokai a night of literacy, he temporarily lived on the second floor of the pavilion.

And in the next half month, Ye Xiaokai's main task is to read and write every day, and in addition to being boring, Lubei will tell Ye Xiaokai some interesting things about his cultivation when he was young hundreds of years ago.

Whenever Ye Xiaokai listens to these stories, his face will show all kinds of wonderful looks, it can be said that although the past half a month has been a bit boring, but being able to hear so many interesting stories is enough to make Ye Xiaokai's experience soar.

............

"Xiao Kai, in the first half of the month, our main task is literacy, during this period, your performance is very satisfactory to the teacher, in just half a month to be able to read more than 1500 words, compared to the average gifted disciple, this can be regarded as very good, at present, now the number of words mastered is enough for you to use, so starting today, literacy is no longer our main task, can only be counted as a daily secondary task. ā€

"And from today onwards, the teacher will officially teach you the knowledge of the cultivation path. Lu Bei said with a smile, how could he not know how much interest his apprentice had in cultivation.

"Wow, really?!Great, master!"

As soon as Lubei's voice fell, Ye Xiaokai shouted excitedly, these days he has been working hard to learn literacy every day, it is boring to death, only occasionally when he listens to some stories, he is like a different person, radiant.

Now, he is finally going to get rid of those boring words and start to officially get in touch with cultivation! What could make him happier than this!

For him, the earlier he came into contact with cultivation, he could soothe his panicked heart one step earlier.

In front of an antique incense case, the master and apprentice sat cross-legged at each other.

"Xiao Kai, before teaching you the way of entry, you must first familiarize yourself with the cultivation environment of this continent where we are located. ā€

Lu Bei looked at Ye Xiaokai's blazing gaze kindly, and said gently.

"The continent we are on is called the Hirano Continent. ā€

"On the Plains Continent, there are countless immortal cultivation sects, and Qinghuang Academy, alas, ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Bei paused, with some memories in his eyes, and his face was slightly sad.

"Master......" Ye Xiaokai noticed that Lubei seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Alas, it's okay......" Lu Bei waved his hand, retracted his emotions, and continued.

"The current Qinghuang Academy...... Although it is like a boat in the vast sea, it is by no means comparable to these small sects in the Southern Regions!" Lu Bei smiled, his smile had an incomparable confidence in Qinghuang Academy, and at the same time, Ye Xiaokai also heard a trace of helplessness.

"On the Plains Continent, there are three major cultivation branches, of which the branch with the largest number of people is the cultivation of the origin of aura, this kind of branch often uses aura or vitality as the basic means of fighting the enemy, such as our Qinghuang Academy, which uses spirit stones or yuan stones to extract and absorb the aura or vitality in it to improve their own cultivation, and the so-called aura is a more high-grade existence than the vitality, and the spirit stone and the yuan stone are the corresponding storage items. ā€

Lu Bei knew that Ye Xiaokai didn't understand a lot of cultivation foundations, so he also talked a little about the difference between spirit stones and yuan stones.

Seeing Ye Xiaokai nodding, Lu Beicai continued, "In addition to cultivating the origin of spiritual energy, there are also a very small number of monks who choose to cultivate their own physical bodies, but the process of cultivating their physical bodies is extremely arduous, and the chances of achieving the rumored Dao of sanctification of the physical body are even slim!"

"Sanctification of the flesh?" Ye Xiaokai's eyes froze, not knowing what kind of realm the saint's physical fitness would be.

"Burning mountains and reclaiming the sea between gestures, and trembling between breaths. Lu Bei saw through Ye Xiaokai's mind at a glance and said with a smile.

"So powerful!" Ye Xiaokai was shocked.

"I'm afraid it's not the best. Lu Bei shook his head solemnly, while Ye Xiaokai looked at Lu Bei curiously.

"Because in addition to these two major cultivation origin branches, there is also an even rarer and weirder cultivation path, and that is the cultivation technique --- cultivation intent that has almost disappeared!"

"This cultivation method of the mind is extremely mysterious, and it is even more strange and unpredictable when facing the enemy, and it is impossible to prevent it, in the Qinghuang Academy hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a situation of three simultaneous cultivation, but unfortunately, after the development of the future, the cultivation of the mind was almost extinct, even the teacher knew, there was only one person, this person was once a disciple of my Qinghuang Academy. ā€

Lu Bei sighed when he said this.

"Master, why did Yi Xiu slowly become extinct?" Hearing that Yi Xiu seemed to be very powerful, Ye Xiao couldn't help but be a little curious, and he was also a little curious about that Yixiu disciple of Qinghuang Academy.

"Because the cultivation conditions of Yi Xiu are too harsh, the number of Yi Xiu itself is very small, in addition, it is because Yi Xiu's methods in the process of fighting the enemy are too weird, and they can often kill people without being invisible, so once they are discovered, it is easy to be targeted and encircled and eliminated first. ā€

Lu Bei had only heard of the jealousy of cultivators who cultivated the spiritual qi branch for their cultivation.

"That's really a bit unlucky for Yi Xiu. Ye Xiaokai nodded, secretly glad that he was not intended.

"Master, what about that Yixiu senior brother in our academy, is he a hundred years old!" Ye Xiaokai said curiously.

"Alas, it's also a coincidence, his name is only one word different from yours, his name is Ye Kai, when I heard your name for the first time, I was stunned, Ye Kai is a disciple of Qinghuang Academy in recent decades, but his ability is not from our Qinghuang Academy, alas, my Qinghuang Academy has fallen so far, and it has a great relationship with him......"

"After all, after all, we are not strong enough to be forced to such a point..."

Lu Bei's expression was a little gloomy, his eyes were a little complicated, and he immediately shook his head and said, "That's it, don't mention the past." ā€

Although Lu Bei did not continue to mention Ye Kai, Ye Xiaokai could feel the sadness in Lu Bei's heart, and that emotion seemed to stem from his helplessness over his lack of strength.

"Master, is there a distinction between high and low levels of cultivation in the aura branch?" Ye Xiaokai asked without a chance to put the topic aside.

"Well, of course there is. Lu Bei nodded, and tried not to think about these things.

"In terms of the origin of the aura that we have cultivated the most, the Dao level of the Dao of cultivation is divided into a total of 11 major layers. ā€

"And that initial level is called mortal humanity, and above this level of path, the main purpose of cultivation is to strengthen the body and strengthen the physical body. ā€

"Because only by making oneself have a stronger reaction ability than ordinary people, and making one's meridians, bones, and explosive power stronger, can one lay the foundation for cultivation, so mortal humanity is sometimes called the way of refining the body!"

"The cultivation process at this stage is actually not inextricably linked with spiritual energy, so generally speaking, mortal cultivation does not require the use of spirit stones or yuan stones. ā€

"And only by cultivating the mortal path to a certain degree of extreme can one be qualified to let one's physical body be used as the path carrier and storage carrier of spiritual energy, and then begin to store it in the body, on the one hand, it is used to further nourish the physical body and strengthen the muscles and veins, and on the other hand, it is to prepare for the breakthrough of the next line!"

"Therefore, when the refining body is at the extreme of the mortal body, it can be regarded as stepping into the Parkway Dao. ā€

"It can be said that from the beginning of the Parkway Dao, the monk needs to use the nourishing qi in the spirit stone or the yuan stone to guide and impact the one hundred and eight meridian acupoints in the human body, and only by opening up the one hundred meridians can the Baihui Dao monk impact the next line. ā€

"Generally speaking, every time the Parkway breaks through the twelve acupuncture points, it is a small layer up, and when it reaches the ninety-six acupuncture points, it is the perfection of the eighth layer of the Parkway, and as for the ninth layer of the perfect Parkway Dao, only a genius who has no one in ten thousand can do it, because it is necessary to successfully impact all the one hundred and eight acupuncture points of oneself perfectly, and after the average person hits the hundredth acupoint, he will reach a limit of the vitality contained in himself, and at this time, the qi in the human body will automatically form and begin to form a sea of qi, so as to condense the sea of qiļ¼ā€

"Therefore, the distinction between true geniuses and how many acupuncture points can be successfully impacted by the ninth layer that began in the late stage of Baihui Dao, and this will also determine how far your future path will be or whether your strength at the same level will crush others. ā€

"Master, how many acupuncture points did you hit on the ninth layer of the Qi Sea Dao back then?" Ye Xiaokai asked curiously.

"Haha, the impact after a hundred acupuncture points is extremely difficult, and he was a genius in ten thousand when he was a teacher, but he only broke through one hundred and four acupuncture points, and there is still a big gap between him and the top genius. There was some complacency in Lu Bei's tone, and the success of one hundred and four acupuncture points was already extremely rare.

"Wow, the master is really amazing!" Ye Xiaokai exclaimed, he didn't expect that the master was only four miles away from the top genius back then, which was already very remarkable, and he didn't know how many acupuncture points he would break through on the ninth layer of Baihui Dao.

"Xiao Kai, your spiritual root talent is good, and you are also very smart, presumably not much worse than being a teacher, so you don't have to be presumptuous. Lu Bei smiled and encouraged.

"Well, don't worry, the disciple is confident!" Ye Xiaokai said confidently.

Lu Bei nodded and continued: "The monks of the Qi Sea Dao can use the spiritual energy in their bodies to fight, so starting from the Qi Sea Dao, the monks need to use a large number of spirit stones or spiritual objects to accumulate their own heritage, only when they are piled up to the extreme, thick and thin, the sea of qi will be condensed into drops of crystal clear milky white droplets, and this milky white droplet means that they have stepped into the spiritual vein path!"

"The spiritual veins accumulate, fill all parts of the body, and when they reach perfection, people's abilities will undergo qualitative changes, and at this time, the monks can truly fly at will, and at this time, all aspects can be regarded as laying a good foundation for stepping into the immortal path, therefore, the name of the Dao after the spiritual vein Dao is the basic Dao!"

"As for the Dao level after the Basic Dao, it is too far away for you now, so let's wait until you reach that step, and the teacher will tell you again. ā€

Cultivation needs to be steady and steady, if he tells Ye Xiaokai all this knowledge, then his apprentice's eyes are likely to always be focused on that last step, which is easy to have problems in his mentality during the cultivation process, making Ye Xiaokai become a high-minded and low-minded person.

So under such considerations, Lubei did not continue to talk about this aspect.

"Hey, hey, master, what level do you belong to? ā€

Ye Xiaokai scratched his head and stared at Lu Bei curiously, not noticing that his question was inappropriate.
