"At the beginning of cultivation, he was also called a Qi cultivation apprentice. This is the same as the qigong master in our folklore, if you can't be promoted to the next big realm, then you can only be a qigong master forever. ”

Looking at the few people in front of him with confused faces, Xia Haoran continued: "Qi training apprentices, that is, 'Qi training period', have a total of one to nine layers. After breaking through the nine layers of Qi training, the next great realm is the foundation building period, followed by the Jindan period, the Yuan Infant period, the transformation period, the out-of-body period, the distraction period, the merger period, the tribulation period, and the Mahayana period. Each of these major realms is divided into three small realms: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. ”

When Xia Haoran finished writing these on the blackboard, he quietly stood aside. After all, he's already broken the news, and these old men need some time to digest, don't they?

"Damn!" After a while, Old Man Li couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, staring at his big eyes and saying with some incredulity: "Xia boy, if you follow the lines you just drawn, wouldn't it mean that the Huang, Xuan, and Earth-level masters in the ancient martial arts system are only equivalent to the Qi cultivation apprentices in the cultivation system?"

"Bingo, that's right!"

Xia Haoran gave a thumbs up to Old Man Li and said with a smile: "Congratulations, the old man answered completely correctly! Maybe you will find it unbelievable and a little incredible, but in fact it is true. In addition, like the Heavenly Rank Ancient Martial Artist, the S-level and SS-level Abilities, and the Foundation Building Stage Cultivator, these three seem to be at the same level, but due to their respective inheritances, the real strength gap between them is also different. ”

"From the information above, it is not difficult for everyone to see that compared with the ancient martial arts system and the supernatural person, the cultivation system is undoubtedly more perfect, and the true cultivator can also go further on this road. Moreover, I might as well tell you that in the entire cultivation system, the Qi cultivation period is just an apprentice, the foundation building period is a beginner, and the Jindan period can be regarded as a real entry. ”

"Why is there such a big gap between different cultivation systems?"

"It's a legacy!"

"Taoism was initially formed in the period of the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and was officially founded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in the ancestral master Zhang Daoling, who respected Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor as the ancestor, Laozi Li Er as the ancestor, and Zhang Daoling as the ancestor. Before the Qin Dynasty, people who practiced Taoism at that time were not called Taoists, but Qi practitioners. Perhaps in some ancient books today, there should still be some clues about the 'pre-Qin Qi practitioner', and after the Qin Dynasty, the title of the qi refiner gradually changed, becoming what we called 'Taoist priest' in later generations, and some people called him 'Fangshi'. ”

"According to legend, those pre-Qin qi practitioners were all 100 years old in spring and autumn, and their movements did not fail. They fly to the sky and the earth, soar through the clouds and fog, and each of them has the ability to move mountains and seas. It's just that there is no detailed written record of the story of that period, and for today's people, it is an ancient history full of endless mist, which makes people reverie infinitely. In the endless river of time, countless historical truths have disappeared in the rolling years and cannot be verified. ”

"Martial artists use the practice methods of the ancients and integrate the science and skills of today's people, which is called ancient warriors. Therefore, the ancient martial arts cultivation system is only for the later generations of martial arts practitioners, who have found some words from some incomplete ancient books and historical relics, and summarized them in combination with the living habits of today's people. It is said that the three thousand avenues have the same end, but the ancient martial arts cultivation system is undoubtedly the most inferior and incomplete cultivation system. ”

"The cultivation system is indeed very complete and powerful, but now is the era of scientific and technological civilization, and the general environment is no longer suitable for the development of martial arts civilization, coupled with the lack of inheritance, there are very few cultivators now. If I'm not mistaken, the current Outer Hidden Door and Semi-Hidden Door are basically cultivating the ancient martial arts system, and only those hidden hidden doors in the small world of the secret realm should be cultivated in the real cultivation system. Speaking of which, Xia Haoran spread his hands, made an 'OVER' gesture, and went straight back to the sofa and sat down.

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Xia boy, listening to you say this today, in the most popular words of the moment, I really 'raised my posture', old man!" Old Man Kong couldn't help but sigh.

"Where, where, learn from each other. Xia Haoran picked up a fruit and took a bite, and said: "Don't be polite, a few old men, these fruits are not poisonous, and they are all unique, this is the only one on the earth, try them all, and the taste is not bad!"

Several old guys were not polite, and they picked up the unknown fruits on the fruit bowl and ate them, slowly reminiscing about what Xia Haoran said just now.

"Xia boy, according to what you said, after the ancient martial artist cultivated to the Heavenly Rank, wouldn't there be no way out?"

"Uh......"

Xia Haoran was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Old man, you are in love! I remember that I had taken the example of cultivation and students going to school before, but in fact, the principle is the same. For example, there are two schools in a township, one for nine years of compulsory education, and the other for primary, junior high and high school. So, I would like to ask all of you here, what do the children in that nine-year compulsory school usually do when they finish their studies?"

"Transfer schools!"

"Bingo, that's right!"

Xia Haoran shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is said that there is no end to learning, but in fact, why don't we cultivate? ”

"The Fa is the Gong Fa, the Heart Fa, refers to the inheritance of cultivation, if there is no Mental Dharma inheritance, how will you cultivate?"

"Wealth refers to the resources of cultivation, and this kind of resource is not money, gold, jewelry, antiques, etc., in the world, but those extremely rare and precious Chinese medicinal materials, rare fruits, and rare ores. ”

"The land refers to the mansion of cultivation. That is, the place of cultivation. Presumably, a few old men also know that the air in the barren mountains and mountains or in the countryside is very clear, and the flowers and cities are unbearably dirty, in fact, our cultivation is exactly like this. For those of us who stayed in the barren mountains and mountains to cultivate for one day, the effect would be equivalent to cultivating for three days, ten days, or even longer in this bustling metropolis. ”

"As cultivators, we absorb a substance called 'Heaven and Earth Aura'. Of course, this kind of substance is very abstract, and it can be regarded as a kind of cosmic essence that is free between heaven and earth. For example, at this moment, do you feel that the air in this study is particularly fresh, and the breathing is particularly refreshing? That's because I pinched and exploded the two power stones just now, in order to ensure that Brother Ye can break through smoothly, so I artificially made the aura of heaven and earth here even more intense. ”

"And today's world is also called the 'Age of the End of the Fa' by our cultivation world. ”

"For cultivators, aura is their life, and if they don't have aura, their cultivation will not increase but decrease. In the era of the end of the Fa, the Heavenly Dao was unbalanced, and the kind of free 'aura' between heaven and earth was not there, so it was becoming more and more unsuitable for cultivators to survive. So far, only in those sparsely populated Okawa Xiuze, or in the small world of the secret realm, there is still a trace of the meager aura of heaven and earth. This is also the reason why those cultivators are all wild cranes in the mountains, and those who are in the hidden sect would rather die in the small world of the secret realm for hundreds of years than step into the world. ”

"I see!"

The three old men suddenly realized.

Right here, the wind was loud in the study, and the papers on the desk were whirring.

"Brother Ye is about to break through!"

Xia Haoran squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Ye Shanhe, who was sitting cross-legged not far away. And the three bigwigs next to him were also looking at this scene very curiously at the moment.

"Why are there fewer and fewer cultivators these years, and even high-level ancient martial artists are almost extinct, one is inheritance, and the most important thing is the aura of heaven and earth. Xia Haoran's gaze swept over Ye Shanhe and several bigwigs, and said lightly: "Just like Brother Ye now, from the middle stage of the Heavenly Rank to the late stage, the amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that needs to be absorbed is even more massive, if he doesn't happen to be here with me today, it means that he has touched a glimmer of opportunity for a breakthrough, and in the end, he can only regrettably end up in failure." ”

"That old guy from the Nangong family, and that old Taoist priest from the Qingcheng Sect of Qingcheng Mountain, several big guys should know about it, right? Why do they go crazy when they break through the Heavenly Steps?"

Speaking of this, Xia Haoran sighed slightly and said, "Because in the era of the end of the law, the aura of heaven and earth is no longer enough to support their breakthrough. It's like a machine, only 100% charged can start normally, but you only charge it 80%, can the machine run normally? And those two old guys are precisely because there is not much left in Shouyuan, so they want to forcibly break through the final lack of follow-up, and they are lucky to go crazy, if they seriously regress in their skills, they will even die on the spot. ”

"No wonder!"

Ye Shanhe was originally at the peak realm of the middle stage of the Heavenly Order, and there was a possibility of a breakthrough at any time. There was that cup of 'special tea' first, and then there were two out-of-body demon beast energy stones taken out by Xia Haoran to ensure it, so the whole breakthrough process can be said to be a matter of course, and there is no suspense.

A few minutes later.

With a powerful aura flashing away, Ye Shanhe successfully broke through to the late stage realm of the Heavenly Order.

"Congratulations to Brother Ye for successfully making the cut!" Xia Haoran arched his hand at Ye Shanhe, who had just opened his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Three chiefs, Brother Haoran!"

Ye Shanhe stood up, his face even more excited.

"Well, good job!" Chief One nodded with a smile, but then he couldn't help but sniffle.

"Haha, Brother Ye should go find a room and take a shower. Xia Haoran sensed the changes in the expressions of several old men, as well as the pungent foul smell in the air, and said with a smile: "Every time a martial artist is promoted, it is a transformation and evolution of life. Therefore, it will experience a chance to be reborn, which is what we often call the I Ching, to further eliminate impurities and harmful toxins from the body. So, you know. After speaking, Xia Haoran waved his sleeves, and a strong wind rolled up in the study out of thin air, rolling the dirty gas in the room out of the window.
