After listening to Zhu Youxiang's introduction to the magic of the "Xuantian Demon Punishment True Technique", Xu Yan naturally had expectations in his heart: according to the routine of Xiuzhen's novel, the protagonist of the story meets ordinary old men who teach stunts on the side of the road, and these old grandfathers are either the first masters in the world in the past, the grandmaster of a certain sect or the hidden demon world master - anyway, they are all very powerful and well-known big people.

Now, according to the routine of Xiuzhen novels, my cheap master Zhu Youxiang, her identity should not be an ordinary character, right? She should also be a famous generation of grandmasters in the Daming Xiuzhen Realm, or she is a generation of witches who have killed countless witches with arrogance, so that we can get the life of our protagonist!

Xu Yan was cautious: "Xuan Yun, uh, I don't understand the rules of your cultivation realm, but there is one thing, I want to ask, if you are presumptuous, please don't be surprised?"

Zhu Youxiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "If the son has something to say, please say it." ”

"Then I'll take the liberty of it: Xuan Yun, what level have you reached in your current cultivation realm?"

Zhu Youxiang smiled: "No wonder Gongzi said in advance that he was presumptuous, this is really good, in my Daming cultivation realm, if you are not relatives, friends, teachers and friends, rashly inquire about the cultivation of others, this is indeed a taboo." However, I don't have anything to hide from Childe - I'm now at the middle level of foundation building. ”

Xu Yan was still at a loss for the various realms of the cultivation realm, and he asked Zhu Youxiang: "Then, Xuan Yun, this foundation building intermediate level, according to the progress of cultivation, is it high or low?"

Zhu Youxiang patiently introduced to Xu Yan that cultivation is divided into levels and realms. Starting from the lowest level that Xu Yan is now in, the Enlightenment Period, cultivators have to go through the Enlightenment Period, the Early Stage of Qi Induction, the Intermediate Stage of Qi Induction, the Peak of Qi Induction, the Early Stage of Condensation, the Intermediate Stage of Condensation, the Peak of Condensation, the Early Stage of Qi Training, the Middle Stage of Qi Training, and the Late Stage of Qi Training, and then they can reach the realms of Zhuji, Jindan, and Yuanying - in fact, according to Zhu Youxiang's thoughts, it is simply superfluous to introduce Xu Yan to the realm after the Qi Refining Period, anyway, he is estimated to have no hope in this life.

"As for whether the foundation building intermediary is high or low, I can't say it myself-according to the Ming cultivation realm, I am qualified to be called a real person after the golden pill, and I am indeed far from this goal.

However, for ordinary practitioners, this height of the foundation building intermediate level is not so easy to achieve, and it will take fifty or sixty years to go from the completely blank enlightenment period to the foundation building intermediate level. ”

Zhu Youxiang's smile bloomed, and she said with a little pride: "My sect's exercises pay attention to entering the Tao with a sword and entering the holy with a battle, although it is a little risky, but when it comes to the progress of cultivation, it is still much faster than other sects. Coupled with the love and care of the master, my qualifications are not too clumsy, and I am willing to work hard in my cultivation-"

Although Zhu Youxiang modestly said that her qualifications were only 'not too clumsy', Xu Yan looked at her smug expression, which was clearly a reserved smile unique to Tianzhong - she said with a smile: "Yiwu's cultivation progress is also much faster than that of my senior brothers. According to the records of the master, I have reached the middle level of foundation building in just seven years since I started my enlightenment, and this progress is the second in the past thousand years, only under Xu Haibo, the founder of my Sword Holy Gate!"

"Congratulations, happy Puben!"

Xu Yan didn't bother to care whether Zhu Youxiang was the second thousand-year-old or the thousand-year-old hundred, anyway, he only knew that this guy was boasting very good. He couldn't help but congratulate him, and immediately asked again: "Then, Xuan Yun, according to the standards of your Daming cultivation realm, you are now building a foundation for the mid-level realm, and in your Daming cultivation realm, can you be regarded as a grandmaster master?"

Zhu Youxiang's face was slightly red, she had always been proud of her talent and intelligence, and her cultivation progress was rapid, she wanted to tell Xu Yan that she had profound skills and strong strength, and she was already considered a great figure in the cultivation world, but helplessly, she still had a bit of shame, and she really couldn't say this kind of ignoring the facts-in the cultivation world, to be recognized as a person who has reached the grandmaster level, the world's recognized standard is that at least he must reach the Yuan Infant level master in order to be qualified to open the door and establish a faction.

According to the level of cultivation, Zhuji, Xindong, Jindan, Yuanying...... Zhu Youxiang himself knew that his mid-level foundation building was still 108,000 miles away from the level of a Yuanying-level master, and no matter how much the cultivation realm lowered its standards, it was impossible to treat a cultivator in the foundation building period as a grandmaster.

This guy really can't open a pot!

Zhu Youxiang replied very unhappily: "This, my cultivation time is still short, although my progress is not slow, but I have not been able to reach the realm of real people and grandmasters for the time being-" She glared at Xu Yan a little embarrassedly: "Childe, you have repeatedly asked about this matter, what is the purpose? Childe, are you still going to learn it?"

Although Xu Yan didn't have much experience with girls, but looking at Zhu Youxiang's embarrassed expression, he also knew what it meant to be "annoyed and angry", he immediately reined in the precipice, raised his hand and surrendered: "The master is above, the vain knows that he is wrong, and he doesn't dare to talk more!"

Zhu Youxiang gave him a roll of his eyes: "Hmph!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first step in cultivation is to find the sense of qi.

According to Zhu Youxiang's teaching, Xu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, his waist was straight and his shoulders were hanging, and he meditated to find the sense of qi in his body. According to Zhu Youxiang's requirements, during meditation, Xu Yan was required to "have no distracting thoughts, sink into the dantian, hold the truth and keep one, and the mind is like a child, and the snow is white", but this simple step is not so easy to do.

The human brain, this thing is the most mysterious, when Xu Yan meditated, he obviously let himself not think cranky, but his brain couldn't help but think about all kinds of complicated things, he thought of Gong Xueting, Chen Yaoyu, Zheng Qiuyi, and Zhu Youxiang...... To put it simply, Xu Yan, who had no prospects, thought of the beauties anyway, and all kinds of mixed thoughts struck, he was so excited that he couldn't concentrate at all, and sat cross-legged for two hours, but he didn't even find a sense of hair.

Xu Yan was also a little anxious, he was a little worried: "Sitting like this for a long time and getting nothing, does this mean that you don't have the qualifications and talent to cultivate?"

Zhu Youxiang also understood Xu Yan's worries, but she had no choice but to comfort Xu Yan and said: "Childe doesn't need to worry, it is already difficult for newcomers to pass the Qi Sense Meditation Pass, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the qualifications of cultivators." People's thoughts and ideas are not controlled by themselves in the first place, and it is of course very difficult to completely suppress them all at once and not think about them.

Meditation into meditation is a process that goes from shallow to deep, and finally reaches deep meditation. Generally speaking, the Xiuzhen sect likes to recruit teenagers or children as disciples, and why is that? It is because children are not deeply involved in the world, their minds are simple, and their minds are not distracted, and it is easy to reach the state of meditation when they meditate. And Childe is twenty years old this year, and he has experienced a lot, and his mind is naturally not as simple as a child, and it is natural to be slower when meditating to find a sense of qi, and Childe does not have to worry about this, one day does not achieve two days, two days does not achieve three days, anyway, we have a lot of time, and Childe does not need to be in a hurry.

Well, I have a meditation trick to teach to my son, which is called "listening to breath" - the so-called "listening breath" is to listen to one's own breath, and through the rhythmic sound of breathing, one can enter the realm of deep meditation. The way to listen is to listen to the breath with both ears, that is, to get rid of the noise of the outer world, such as entering the realm of silence, to listen to your own breath.

Childe, when you listen to breathing, 'listening' is not the goal, it is just for you to concentrate and concentrate on meditation, not to die to guard your ears, nor to listen to the sound of breathing. The meaning of "listening" is to concentrate on the mind, as long as you follow the route of exhaling and breathing, and slowly do it as if listening without listening, this is right. As for the speed and slowness, thickness, depth, and length of the breath, we should go with the flow and do not forcibly control it, so as not to deliberately do it, but fall into the inferiority. The magic of this trick lies in the intentionally or unintentionally, and it is difficult to describe. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiang's teachings, Xu Yan also let go of his anxiety and settled down to calmly look for opportunities to feel qi. He repeatedly flipped through Zhu Youxiang's handwritten cultivation method, and carefully experienced the feeling of "vastness" of silence.

The hard work paid off, and finally, at twelve o'clock that night, after more than three hours of meditation, Xu Yan finally found the sense of "qi" that he had been looking for—he felt that the dantian in his lower abdomen was suddenly warm, as if there was a furnace burning in it. Xu Yanxin had no distracting thoughts, breathing deeply and rhythmically, he followed the instructions on Zhu Youxiang's manual, slowly used his mind to exercise the dantian in the lower abdomen, and with the rhythm of breathing, the heat at the dantian was introduced into the meridians little by little, and let it slowly swim all over the body.

This time the meditation lasted for six hours, and according to the instructions of Zhu Youxiang's manual, Xu Yan relied on his breath and mind to turn the heat flow in his body around the meridians of his body six times, and he felt a little tired, so he finished his work and dispersed.

This was the first time that Xu Yan really felt the "qi sense" in his body, and the first time he had successfully meditated and lucked. I don't know if it's a psychological reason or if the luck is really effective, after the exercise, Xu Yan feels energetic, full of energy, and full of vitality in every gesture.

The first time the cultivation worked, Xu Yan was still quite excited, and he really wanted to find Zhu Youxiang to tell him about his experience. It's just that he looked at the time and found that it was already three o'clock in the morning at midnight, and it was estimated that Zhu Youxiang was also asleep, and Xu Yan didn't want to disturb her.

Xu Yan thought so, but unexpectedly, the bedroom door was immediately knocked. Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that at this time, there was no one else except Zhu Youxiang.

He hurriedly opened the door, and sure enough, it was Zhu Youxiang standing at the door with a smile.

Xu Yan impatiently told Zhu Youxiang: "Xuan Yun, do you know, I was ...... just now"

"I already know. Zhu Youxiang smiled lightly and said: "I would like to congratulate Gongzi - just now, Gongzi has found the qi sense of the dantian and meridians in his body, according to what we say in the cultivation realm, this is called enlightenment! Congratulations to Gongzi, who has taken a gratifying first step on the road of cultivation, and I also ask Gongzi to work harder and strive to improve every day." ”

Xu Yan hurriedly politely said a few kind words such as "Thanks to Xuan Yun, you have good guidance". But suddenly, his face froze, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Xuan Yun, how do you know that I have just succeeded in finding the qi sense?" Why did you come so coincidentally, at three o'clock in the middle of the night, I just finished my cultivation, and you came over right away?"

Zhu Youxiang glanced at him in surprise: "What's so strange about this, Childe, don't forget, Childe, you and my cultivation are just a wall apart." Since I have taught Childe the way of cultivation, of course I must pay attention to it when Childe is cultivating, so as not to make it difficult for you to go mad. ”

Xu Yan was shocked: "Ah, through the wall, you can know what I'm doing?"

Zhu Youxiang said lightly: "I am a monk in the foundation building period, and it is not difficult for me to do this-However, I have no intention or interest in snooping into the daily life of my son." It's just that I suddenly felt a faint qi running in a very close place around me, and I began to pay attention to it, and then I realized that it was Gongzi who had successfully enlightened. This is a rare happy event, so I took the liberty to congratulate my son, but I didn't expect it to be misunderstood. ”

"Oh, I see!"

Zhu Youxiang explained it this way, but Xu Yan still felt a little weird, and he was not relieved - now, she knew that there was a clairvoyant living next to her, although she firmly stated that she was not interested in the lives of ordinary people and would not peek casually, but Xu Yan still felt uncomfortable. Thinking that his every move might be seen or sensed by Zhu Youxiang at any time - Xu Yan secretly reminded himself that he should remember to say goodbye to Mr. Cang in the computer and a large number of good boy movies that people like to see.

Zhu Youxiang told Xu Yan that since he had successfully found the sense of qi, from tomorrow onwards, Xu Yan would be able to go out to resume his normal study and life - with the sense of qi, Xu Yan could operate the "qi" of the meridians in his body anytime and anywhere, and he could cultivate wherever he was, and he did not have to be locked up at home to practice. Of course, the effect of such cultivation is definitely not as good as Xu Yan's closing the door and meditating, but Zhu Youxiang still suggested that Xu Yan had better find time to go out every day, whether it is for classes or walks, don't stay at home and practice.

Xu Yan also felt strange about this construction: Isn't it often said in ancient books? Master So-and-so locked himself in a cave, closed himself to the wall to practice, and only broke through the barrier after ten years, and since then he has beaten my opponents all over the world and become the first in the world, so it can be seen that cultivating this thing still has to concentrate on closing the door to practice in order to achieve the best effect, but Zhu Youxiang is doing the opposite, letting himself go out for a walk, what is going on?

For Xu Yan's doubts, Zhu Youxiang couldn't say anything, anyway, this is what her master taught her back then, don't practice with your head down, and take a certain amount of time every day to move and relax, so that the effect of cultivation will be better. Therefore, now, she has accepted an apprentice from the outer door, Xu Yan, so she also painted the gourd and taught it to Xu Yan in the same way.

According to Zhu Youxiang's guess, he thinks: "The martial arts of the Sword Saint Gate of this sect enter the Tao with battle, and the cultivation is also a combination of movement and static." I'm afraid that blind meditation is not in line with the purpose and essence of this exercise—well, the master should think the same way, right?"

Xu Yan welcomed Zhu Youxiang's opinion: he hid in the inner wall of the cave and practiced for twenty years, practiced peerless martial arts, and was invincible in the world after leaving the cave, and then killed all the enemies. This kind of story looks very cool to write in a martial arts novel, and it sounds very bold and inspirational, but if he really wants to substitute himself as the protagonist, Xu Yan still has to hurry up and thank Bu Min -- what are you kidding! What era is it now, the ever-changing information age, there are many wonderful things outside, there is a lot of entertainment, in order to build the avenue, he will be sentenced to 20 years in prison for no reason, this kind of thing is afraid that no one will do it, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At seven o'clock the next morning, Xu Yan woke up by himself and got out of bed by himself.

Last night, Xu Yan and Zhu Youxiang discussed the experience and tricks of practicing, and talked until four o'clock in the morning, and he rested for less than two hours, but now when he gets up in the morning, he is full of energy and refreshed, and he does not show the fatigue of lack of sleep at all.

Xu Yan washed up, checked the class schedule, and found that today was Thursday, and it was time to take statistics class. Xu Yan simply packed up the notes and textbooks that he could use in class, and then sat down at the table again and began to look at the cultivation manual that Zhu Youxiang had written for him.

The content of the cultivation manual written by Zhu Youxiang is not long, it is more than 5,000 words, but the classical Chinese she uses makes Xu Yan a little laborious to recite and understand. Fortunately, the booklet is only about ten pages, Xu Yan silently recited it a few times, slowly pondering the content inside, but also has some insights. When he was reading the manual, he could feel that the aura in his body was also running slowly, which proved that Zhu Youxiang was right, as long as he got started, cultivation could be carried out at any time.

After reading the book for an hour, Xu Yan got up and packed his schoolbag, went out to say hello to Zhu Youxiang and went out.

Statistics is a public course, but it is an elective course for students of all majors in the University of Economics and Business. A few minutes before class, Xu Yan hurriedly entered the class and saw that there were already many people sitting in the classroom, but most of them were students from other departments, and there were few familiar faces. Xu Yan exhaled slightly-although he also knew that the ugly daughter-in-law would always have to meet her in-laws, and he would have to meet with the classmates sooner or later, but it would always be good if he could drag things out.
