Chapter 472: Rapid Ascension
When he finished speaking, he looked at me and smiled.
"Of course, it all depends on your future creation, and for now, you can only live in it for three days. β
After he finished speaking, I nodded, and then followed him into this "outer heaven".
After entering, Taishang Laojun waved his hand casually, and a house appeared out of thin air, and then, the two of us walked in, and all kinds of things in it were ready, all kinds of materials needed for alchemy and the Dan furnace needed for alchemy, etc.
Seeing these things, I looked at Taishang Laojun and asked with some puzzlement.
"Mr. Jun, did you conjure these things out of thin air?"
As a result, Lao Jun smiled and said.
"I'm not that powerful, not only me, but in this world, even the Buddha, can't fully do what you said, these things are what I collected before, including this house, but I put them in a 'Qiankun bag' similar to the one you use, and I just took these things out of the Qiankun bag. β
Hearing Shang Laojun say something like "Qiankun bag", I looked at him again and asked.
"Mr. Jun, I have one thing I want to ask you about, and that is if there is anything that can hold living things for you? I mean, a magic weapon that can hold living people or other living things. β
Taishang Laojun is not only an "alchemist", he is also a "refiner", but in terms of refining, everyone has not noticed it, because many of the good treasures that caught Sun Wukong in Journey to the West are all refined by Taishang Laojun, such as "Diamond Bracelet", "Bundle Immortal Rope" and so on.
Hearing my words, Taishang Laojun smiled and said.
"There is indeed such a thing, but it is too difficult to refine such a thing, and some special materials are also needed, you still remember the 'Purple Gold Red Gourd', that is a magic weapon that can hold living things, of course, the living people who put it in it died later, so you can't refine these things now, and I will slowly teach you when I have the opportunity in the future." β
Seeing that he didn't want to teach, I had to give up this plan, to be honest, it was good that he could teach me alchemy.
Since he doesn't want to pass on the knowledge of refining weapons to me as well, let's find another opportunity, anyway, I still have a long time in contact with him here, so I'm not in a hurry, let's take my time.
In this way, I lived in the "Outer Heaven" with peace of mind, while learning various techniques of alchemy with Taishang Laojun, while refining pills by myself, and at the same time taking various pills to improve my cultivation.
Through contact with Taishang Laojun, I found that Laojun's knowledge in the field of elixir is really vast, and the content related to real alchemy is far more powerful and complex than that of the sect.
Not to mention anything else, according to Taishang Laojun, high-level pills do have the power that can make an ordinary person an immortal with just one pill.
Because there are many similar legends in our real world, such as so-and-so picking up an elixir, and after eating the elixir, he flew into an immortal.
According to Taishang Laojun, it is completely possible, and he can also refine such an elixir, however, the elixir he refines can only make ordinary people in this world turn into immortals, and it is unknown whether it can have such an effect in our world.
Of course, the level of this terrible elixir is also very high, far from being as simple as "building the foundation realm", nor is it as simple as the "Jindan realm" pill that is one grade higher than the foundation building realm, of course, the things about the "Jindan realm" are also told to me by Taishang Laojun.
However, according to Taishang Laojun, whether it is the "Foundation Building Realm" or the "Jindan Realm", it is actually just the realm of entry, and it is far from the real feather into an immortal, that is to say, it is still far from the realm of the immortals that everyone says.
After he said this, I realized that my cultivation journey might be far away.
You must know that even if you become an ordinary immortal, compared to the level of these immortals and Taishang Laojun, it is a world of difference.
And Taishang Laojun is in the "Journey to the West", but his strength is not as strong as the Buddha, in other words, even in the "Journey to the West", there are masters with a higher level than Taishang Laojun, not to mention that I will be exposed to more terrible things in the future.
Moreover, my last trip to the universe taught me what a real master looks like in the universe, for example, the legendary master who can travel through the universe with his physical body.
That kind of master, in my opinion, is no longer what we are talking about "immortals" now, because it is obvious that Sun Wukong's so-called 108,000 miles of heels is already very fast on our earth, or in the mortal world, because the time it takes to follow a heel may be a few seconds or tens of seconds, anyway, it is quite a short time.
If calculated according to the average of ten seconds, it is equivalent to flying more than 10,000 miles in one second, that is, the speed of about 5,000 kilometers per second.
If you travel through the universe at this speed, it is obviously not enough, because this speed is more than 100 times the speed of light, but the closest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri, is the speed of light, which will take several years, and in the entire Milky Way, the Orion arm where our solar system is located is about 26,000 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.
Therefore, even if it is reduced by a hundred times, it will take more than 200 years to fly from us to the center of the Milky Way, and a person's lifespan is definitely not that long, plus this is just the distance from us to the center of the spiral arm of the Milky Way, not the distance to cross the galaxy.
If you want to cross galaxies, the distance is even farther, because the closest galaxy to the Milky Way, "Ursa Minor", is also more than 40,000 light-years, and according to the principle of more than 100 times, it will take hundreds of years to get there, which is definitely quite a long time.
In other words, even if I cultivated to the level of the Monkey King somersault cloud, it would be almost an impossible task for me to cross the galaxy.
Of course, all of this is based on my current level of knowledge.
And what happens to space-time when my speed does get that high, what will happen to me? I don't know at the moment.
However, in short, after this contact with Taishang Laojun, he showed me a completely different worldview.
He told me that I am actually very small in this world, even if my level is good now, even if I have a hotel management system against the sky, this is still the same.
It didn't take long for me to get closer and closer to him because of the master-apprentice relationship between me and Taishang Laojun.
So I changed my plan and asked him to teach me something about alchemy.
As a result, he didn't want to teach me this kind of thing, and his reason was that it was useless to teach me, because I couldn't practice at all, or I couldn't draw the kind of pattern for making magic weapons.
However, he pointed me out another way, that is, let me go to Yuhua Prefecture and collect all kinds of knowledge and various things related to refining magic weapons in Yuhua Prefecture.
According to him, these things would probably have helped me even more.
And from the third day I entered here, he began to condition my body and took out the seeds of the "Samadhi True Fire" and planted them in my body.
According to him, my body has a special affinity for flames, which means that the "true fire of samadhi" can live in my body, which is why he wants to be my master and impart the knowledge of alchemy to me.
According to Taishang Laojun, there are not many people who can really use the true fire of Samadhi, and none of these people want to inherit his mantle.
Therefore, he really needs an apprentice like me to pass on his lifelong knowledge of alchemy.
As for the knowledge of refining, according to Taishang Laojun, those things are not his specialty, and many refining things are just some of his hobbies.
As for what I want to learn about refining weapons, he will introduce me to other teachers when the time comes.
Since he had already arranged it, I was not in a hurry about this matter, and in this way, I lived in this place called "Outer Heaven" for more than 210 days.
In these days, I finally entered the "Sixth Heaven of Foundation Building" from the "Five Heavens of Foundation Building" and climbed up step by step from the Six Heavens of Foundation Building.
However, unfortunately, when I finally left, I was not able to reach the Seven Heavens of the Foundation Realm.
However, to be honest, with the cultivation I have now, I am already very satisfied.
When I went out, Taishang Laojun looked at me and said.
"I have prepared all the things for you in Yuhua Prefecture, you can take them away when you go, what I want to tell you now is that the reason why I want to teach you these things is that there is another purpose, and I will not hide it from you, this is my real main purpose, although you said that this world is also the real world, but, from my point of view, I always feel that I am not a real person now, so I hope that one day, you can bring me to your world and become a real person, instead of being trapped in this world and never being able to see the real worldγ β
"In addition, I am also very interested in the universe you mentioned and the other world in your dreams, and if you can take me out, I would love to see these places. β
To be honest, when I heard these words of Taishang Laojun, I also felt a little emotional.
