Chapter 2: Enlightenment

Yun Zhongxi patiently explained at this time: "Qin Yuxuan, although you have spiritual skills and have the conditions to become an immortal cultivator, you have no cultivation at all, you are still just a mortal, not a real immortal cultivator. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info, but that Mu Cheng is a genuine immortal cultivator of the third layer of the Yuan Shen Period. ”

"Therefore, you must at least reach the first level of cultivation in the Yuan Shen Stage before you can pretend to be him! As for the difference between the two levels of cultivation, we can say that when you were practicing on the way to the Yun family, your practice went wrong, so your cultivation fell, so you can pass the test in a fool...... But even if an immortal cultivator loses his cultivation, it is impossible for him to not even have a primordial god. So, Kailing must be done! ”

"Then what can I do to open my soul and become an immortal cultivator?" Qin Yuxuan was interested at this time, after all, in his mind, the immortal cultivator was a person with great magical powers.

He never dreamed that he would be able to enter the ranks of immortal cultivators in this life.

Yun Zhongxi smiled slightly, and Fang began to explain to him the principle of cultivating immortals.

She said eloquently: "The way of cultivating immortals lies in essence, qi, yuan, and spirit. The so-called cultivation of immortals is the process of inhaling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the body, and then transforming it into the unique spiritual power of immortal cultivators. ”

"The biggest difference between immortal cultivators and mortals is that immortal cultivators have primordial gods, while mortals only have souls. Breaking through from a mortal to an immortal cultivator is a process of refining qi and transforming gods.

It is necessary to combine the true qi in the body with one's own soul, combine the essence and soul into one, and give birth to a primordial spirit that can mobilize spiritual power...... Therefore, the first stage of cultivating immortals is called the Yuan Shen period. ”

"As soon as the Yuan Shen is completed, he can mobilize spiritual power, become an immortal cultivator, and officially embark on the road of immortal cultivation, the magic powers of immortal cultivators are unpredictable, and various magic weapon formations emerge in endlessly, and the most powerful martial arts masters among mortals cannot compete with even the lowest-level immortal cultivators......"

Listening to Yun Zhongxi's introduction, Qin Yuxuan also showed a yearning expression.

According to this Miss Yun, the most crucial step from a mortal to an immortal cultivator is to condense the primordial spirit. If there is no correct practice and immortal cultivators to guide and assist. Even if they have a spiritual sense, half of them will fail. Some casual cultivators even take more than half a year to find a little way on their own, but they are still far from leaving the spirit.

And if you have the right exercises and experienced cultivators to guide you, you can succeed in just half a day.

At this time, Yun Zhongxi took out a slightly yellowed booklet, handed it to Qin Yuxuan, and said, "This is a cultivation method called Qingyun Due, which can be applied to the cultivation of immortal cultivators of all attributes. You take a closer look, and then follow the method explained above to condense the primordial spirit. I will also inject spiritual power into your body to help you open the spirit! ”

Qin Yuxuan took the booklet, and saw that it was written in a small seal font with an ancient style--Qingyun Decisive Three Big Characters. The glyphs look a bit eerie and chilly.

He flipped through the first page and began to study it carefully......

This booklet is actually just the first volume of Qingyun Due, which records the cultivation methods of the Yuan Shen period, and it is said that there is also a second volume, which records the exercises of the spiritual fluid period. But now he certainly won't need it.

Now, he focuses on the first chapter of Condensation.

While reading, he involuntarily followed the introduction of the exercises, guiding the faint true qi in his body from the limbs and all the meridians of the body into the sea of consciousness of the dantian, and began the key step of condensing the primordial spirit......

With the slightest hint of faint true qi, he continued to know the sea. And the pale green soul that was originally in the sea of consciousness, as these true qi glowing with a faint white light joined, it gradually merged with them, and its light gradually changed from green to white......

However, halfway through this process, Qin Yuxuan felt a little exhausted, after all, he had never cultivated, not even worldly martial arts, and his body was already a little thin.

For others to condense the primordial spirit, it takes months to prepare, and adjust their body and energy to the peak state. He rushed the ducks to the shelves, and naturally soon encountered a bottleneck.

Yun Zhongxi had been observing the changes in Qin Yuxuan's body by the side, and seeing that he was a little exhausted, he immediately stretched out a pair of white and tender jade hands, pressed his back, and then poured his spiritual power into Qin Yuxuan's body to assist him in continuing the process of condensing the Yuan Shen......

Finally, three hours later, Qin Yuxuan only felt "boom!" in his body. "A sound......

He looked inside his body, only to see that in the dark dantian sea of knowledge, the pale green soul finally absorbed and fused the vitality in his body, and turned into a small mass of gas-like white primordial spirit the size of a grain of rice. Although it is tiny and its light is even more dim, it is a true primordial spirit.

Refining Qi and Transforming Spirits, Condensing the Yuan Spirit! This is the way to become an immortal that countless mortals have dreamed of, and Qin Yuxuan finally took the first step on the road of cultivating immortals and became a genuine monk.

Ordinary mortals, including so-called martial arts masters, perceive the outside world with the five senses, namely sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

In addition to the above-mentioned five senses, which are much sharper than mortals, immortal cultivators have also produced divine consciousness that relies on the primordial gods.

The sensing of divine consciousness has broken through beyond the scope of the body and extended to the world outside the body of the immortal cultivator, breaking through the limitation that the five senses are easily blocked, and being able to directly perceive the situation in the outside world.

Qin Yuxuan was now sitting in the carriage, but with his eyes closed, he could find that within a radius of five zhang, any slight movement, even an ant crawling on the roof of the carriage, he could clearly feel it.

He saw Yun Zhongxi behind him, with his hands pressed on his back, and now she was red, showing that her pretty face was flushed, which showed that her spiritual power was excessively consumed.

Qin Yuxuan secretly thought in his heart, if he continued to cultivate, the Yuan Shen would become stronger and stronger, and his cultivation would become higher and higher, and his divine sense should still be able to perceive farther places.

At this time, Yun Zhongxi saw that Qin Yuxuan had broken through, Fang took his hand away from his back, and some fine beads of sweat had appeared on her cheeks. Obviously a little tired.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to help you reach the first level of the Yuan Shen Stage!" Yun Zhongxi opened a pair of beautiful eyes at this time, and sighed lightly: "But it's no wonder, you haven't even practiced ordinary martial arts, and you don't have any pills to take, so it is naturally more difficult than when ordinary immortal cultivators break through." ”

She got up slowly at this time, and said solemnly: "Qin Yuxuan, now that you have become an immortal cultivator. I'll also tell you some common sense of cultivating immortals, lest you accidentally reveal your stuffing while talking. You must know that Mu Cheng, as a side disciple of the Mu family, can be regarded as a great immortal cultivation family, and he is very clear about the common sense of immortal cultivation......

After that, she brought some knowledge of the immortal cultivation world to Qin Yuxuan one by one.

According to Yun Zhongxi, the reason why immortal cultivators have to work tirelessly and go through arduous cultivation is that they hope to become immortals and pursue eternal life.

And if you want to transform from a mortal into an immortal, you need to go through nine tribulations before you can fly to the immortal realm.

However, it is extremely difficult to survive these nine tribulations smoothly.

The first tribulation was the "Condensation of the Yuan Shen" that Qin Yuxuan had just experienced. This is the easiest of the nine tribulations, and after ordinary people have survived this tribulation, they can be regarded as officially entering the ranks of immortal cultivators from mortals.

After surviving the first tribulation, the immortal cultivator who produces the primordial god in his body is called a primordial god stage monk, and the lifespan can reach a hundred years.

And the second calamity on the road of cultivating immortals is the "spiritual qi liquid", when the immortal cultivator is in the great consummation of the Yuan Shen period, he will liquefy the spiritual energy in his body into spiritual liquid. This catastrophe is not life-threatening, but it is extremely difficult to survive. Of the hundred Yuan Shen Stage cultivators, more than ninety percent of them could not survive this catastrophe.

If you are lucky enough to survive the second tribulation, you can be called a condensate stage monk, and the lifespan can reach two hundred years. At this time, the aura in the immortal cultivator's body had been liquefied into spiritual liquid, and his mana had increased greatly, and he could soar through the clouds and mist, and the sword would fly. When mortals see it, they will respectfully and respectfully call them "immortals".

And the third calamity on the road to cultivating immortals is "pressure liquid for crystals". When an immortal cultivator enters the peak of the condensation period, the spiritual fluid in his body will be further compressed and solidified into a spar. The magic powers are more powerful, and the lifespan has increased to five hundred years.

However, this catastrophe is more dangerous than the previous two catastrophes. If the previous two tribulations of "Condensation of the Yuan Shen" and "Spiritual Qi Liquid" were not life-threatening, the calamity of "Pressure Liquid for Crystal" was very dangerous.

Because when immortal cultivators hit the bottleneck, it is easy to go mad, causing the meridians to be broken. It was at this time that many condensate monks died.

And the monks who failed to impact it, even if they survived, most of them became invalids due to broken meridians, and even the strength of the monks of the Yuan Shen period was not as good as that, and they were spurned.

After surviving the third tribulation, the immortal cultivator officially became a crystallization stage cultivator, and he was also considered a high-level monk in the immortal cultivation world, and many people began to establish a sect at this time.

As for the fourth calamity, it is the calamity of the Yudan. When a Crystallization Stage cultivator cultivates to the Great Perfection, he will begin to condense the golden pill in his body. Although this process is more dangerous than "pressing liquid into crystals", once it is successfully passed, the life span of an immortal cultivator will reach a thousand years. And it can really be called a hegemon. They are the monks of the Yudan period who are looked up to wherever they go.

And the fifth calamity is the calamity of "shattering pills and turning infants". When a monk in the Dan period cultivates to the Great Perfection realm, if he wants to make another breakthrough, he must first crush the golden pill that he has cultivated so hard, and then use its fragments to generate a baby-like doppelganger in his body, commonly known as Yuan Ying.

This primordial infant can survive after the physical destruction of the immortal cultivator, and be reborn. At this time, the lifespan of an immortal cultivator can reach two thousand years. They will also become the legendary Grand Monk of the Yuan Infant Period.

As for the sixth tribulation to the ninth tribulation, as well as the situation of immortal cultivators above the Yuan Infant Stage, even Yun Zhongxi didn't know, because judging from the records of her family classics, it seemed that there had never been a person on the Shenzhou Continent who had cultivated beyond the Yuan Infant Stage.

In addition to the subdivision of the Yuan Shen period into one to nine layers, the spiritual liquid stage, the crystallization stage, the knot stage, and the Yuan infant stage are all divided into four small levels: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection.

The way of cultivating immortals is divided into two cultivation directions: qi refining and body refining.

Qi refining is the mainstream way of cultivating immortals, and what is cultivated is the meridians and true qi. The vast majority of immortal cultivators choose Qi refining, and its advantage is that it can drive spiritual power to use many magic weapons, can fly with swords, can refine pills, can operate formations, and can control spirit beasts...... In short, on the path of cultivating immortals, if you can choose the path of qi refining, no immortal cultivator wants to choose body refining.

It's just that Qi refining has relatively high requirements for the spiritual skills of immortal cultivators, and the better the spiritual aperture, the faster the cultivation speed; And if the spiritual aperture is very poor, the cultivation speed is half the effort, maybe ten days of cultivation, and the entry is not as good as the effect of one day of cultivation for people with good spiritual aperture.

As for refining the body, it is naturally a non-mainstream way of cultivating immortals, it is mainly to exercise muscles, bones, skin, flesh and internal organs. The body of a cultivator of immortals, his body is much harder than that of ordinary immortal cultivators, comparable to steel, known as a copper-headed iron arm.

However, there is one biggest weakness in the refining body, and that is the inability to break through the realm. Because cultivating from the primordial spirit stage to the spiritual liquid stage is to compress the true qi in the body from gas to liquid, and from true qi to spiritual liquid. And a body cultivator who cultivates immortals doesn't refine qi at all, how can he have such a huge amount of true qi to condense into spiritual liquid?

Although there are also a few body refining immortal cultivators who have broken through to the spiritual liquid stage, it is also because of his strong talent, and he refining his body and qi at the same time. When breaking through the realm, it still relies on the ability to refine qi.

Moreover, not only did the body cultivators have a big problem when they broke through the realm, but they also couldn't take advantage of the battle with the qi cultivators in the later stage.

After all, no matter how hard your body is, can you still be harder than other people's magic weapons? People cut your neck with a treasure knife, to see if your neck is hard or someone else's knife is hard?

Even if people's physique is not as strong as yours and they can't run as fast as you, they can fly with a sword! Can you still outrun on two legs and be able to fly in the sky?

Therefore, due to the disadvantages of body refiners, except for some immortal cultivators who know that their qualifications are too poor and have no hope of breaking through the spiritual liquid stage, almost no immortal cultivators take the initiative to choose body refining, and even if someone cultivates, they use body refining as an auxiliary way to strengthen their bodies.

And the two qualifications that have the most to do with immortal cultivators are spiritual skills and talents.

Among them, there are nine levels of spiritual apertures. Qin Yuxuan is the worst one-spirit qualification, while Yun Zhongxi is a rather rare five-spirit qualification. You must know that on the territory of Xiushan City, in the past thousand years, the ancestor of the Yun family with the best qualifications is only the qualification of the Four Spirits.

As for talent, there is no measure, it purely depends on individual differences, at most it has something to do with people's understanding. For people with high understanding, it is easier to master magic powers.

In addition, the currency of the immortal cultivation world is also different from the secular world, it does not use gold, silver and copper coins, but is denominated in spirit stones.

This "spirit stone", as the name suggests, is a kind of stone that contains rich aura, and the aura it contains is very important for immortal cultivators.

It can not only be directly used for immortal cultivators to meditate and practice, but also to increase cultivation. It can also be used to lay out arrays and inlay puppets.

To launch a magic circle, in addition to the need for a formation flag, the spirit stone as a power force is even more indispensable. A high-quality spirit stone will not only ensure the success of the circle, but will also greatly increase its power.

Moreover, if the immortal cultivator is casting those powerful spells and the spiritual power in his body is insufficient, he can directly crush the spiritual stone in his hand and absorb the spiritual energy in it to replenish the spiritual power lost when casting the spell.

In this way, it can support the immortal cultivators to exert their extraordinary abilities and forcibly cast some high-level spells that could not be cast.

It is precisely because the value of the spirit stone is so high that all immortal cultivators are eager for it, so it has become a common currency in the immortal cultivation world, and is divided into four categories according to quality: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade and best grade.

According to the general practice, it is one hundred lower-grade spirit stones to exchange for a medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones to exchange for a high-grade spirit stone, and one hundred high-grade spirit stones to exchange for a top-grade spirit stone.

It's just that due to the excessive mining of spirit stones in the immortal cultivation world, the consumption is too fast. Now it is difficult to find high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones. There aren't even many medium-grade spirit stones. Generally, the price of the store is how many spirit stones, in fact, they all refer to the lower grade spirit stones.

When Yun Zhongxi finished talking about these basic common knowledge of the immortal cultivation world, it was already late at night. By this time the carriage had arrived at an inn in another town.

"Get out of the car! We'll rest here tonight and get up early tomorrow morning to go! It is estimated that I will be able to go to Xiushan City in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow! Yun Zhongxi raised his eyebrows.

Qin Yuxuan had to get out of the carriage, and then ate in the inn with Ah San and Ah Si. What surprised him was that Yun Zhongxi didn't eat with the three of them, but he didn't know if she had arranged a separate dinner, or if she had cultivated to the realm of being able to open the valley.

After eating, Qin Yuxuan was escorted into a guest room by Ah San and Ah Si.

"Qin Yuxuan, you can rest here tonight! Don't try to run away! Otherwise, you'll only be asking for your own hardship! Ah Sanyi pointed to the small bed in the room and said.

Immediately, he beckoned to Ah Siyi and said, "Let's go!" We also went back to rest, and after a day of carriage driving, we were really tired! ”

With that, the two of them slammed the door shut, and soon the footsteps and conversations of the two going downstairs sounded outside the door.

Qin Yuxuan's five senses were much sharper than before the opening of the spirit, and he immediately heard Ah Si's voice: "Ah San, do you say that this kid can really be trusted?" He's not going to sneak away or expose it to anyone else in the future, is he? ”

Ah San said disdainfully at this time: "Ah Si, what are you worried about?" With the wisdom of the eldest lady, how could she not think of this? As early as the time of enlightenment, the eldest lady planted a heart demon mark in his body. As long as Qin Yuxuan dares to betray the eldest lady and break the promise he promised the eldest lady, this heart demon mark will attack immediately, and he will immediately bleed to death, and the effect can be the same as the heart demon oath. Do you think we need to worry? ”

Ah Si also suddenly realized at this time: "I just said, how can the eldest lady be so relieved of him, she didn't even ask us to be on duty, look at this kid ......"

The footsteps of the two gradually faded away, but Qin Yuxuan was in a cold sweat on his back. To be honest, he was really thinking about whether to run away, after all, it was too risky to follow Yun Zhongxi back to the Yun family in Xiushan City. It's not so easy for a tanuki to change a prince. But hearing Ah San and Ah Si say this, he had to dispel this idea immediately.

"No wonder Yun Zhongxi is so relieved of me, dare to love has already planted a ban on me......" Qin Yuxuan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that this Ah San Ah Si spoke in such a loud voice just now, and he also deliberately let me hear it, warning me not to mess around, so as not to trigger the ban and die, which will ruin their big deal!" ”

Since he couldn't escape, Qin Yuxuan dispelled those distracting thoughts and prepared to pretend to be this Mu Cheng with peace of mind. At this time, he picked up the information about Mu Cheng that Ah San gave him, and began to look at it carefully.

After looking at it for half an hour, he looked at the hourglass on the table and found that it was already childtime, so Fang yawned and put down the booklet.

Qin Yuxuan touched the black ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that my fate has always been so upside down......"

After sighing lightly, he said to himself: "However, being able to step into the immortal cultivation realm can be regarded as an opportunity, and it may make it easier for me to find my father and mother's ......."

In fact, he is not Qin Yongan's son, but his adopted son, and his parents are different.

However, Qin Yuxuan didn't know their names, only that his father was also surnamed Qin.

In his childhood memories, he seemed to live in a mountain village. His father was a handsome scholar who taught the children in the village to read, and his mother was a beautiful young woman, mainly doing some embroidery work.

But when he was eight years old, his parents suddenly took him to Qinghe Town, hundreds of miles away, and handed him over to Qin Yongan of the Qin Doctor's Hospital, asking him to worship Qin Yongan as his father-in-law and learn medical skills from him.

Then his parents left in a hurry, never to be found. And this black ring was given to him by his mother before leaving, and he wanted to keep it well.

Over the years, he has also studied this ring to see if he can find some clues about his background or the whereabouts of his parents, but in the end, they all fell short. All the jewelry store owners who have seen this ring say that it is just an ordinary black iron ring, which can only be sold for 50 copper coins in the market.

But Qin Yuxuan resolutely didn't believe it, he didn't believe that his mother asked him to keep it close to him before leaving, and the ring that he didn't want to lose would be just an ordinary thing. He thought he hadn't been able to figure out the secret of the ring.

Although no matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary black iron ring, but every day before going to bed, he has to touch it for a while, hoping that one day he will have a flash of inspiration and suddenly find something.

"Today, I actually became an immortal cultivator in a dream, with a primordial spirit and spiritual power...... I don't know, if I infuse spiritual power into this ring, what will be the result......" Qin Yuxuan muttered to himself.

He picked up the black ring and poured spiritual power into it......
