In the past, if someone wanted to approach him with unknown intentions, Xu Yan would definitely have to find out the bottom of it. But now, after a lot of things, Xu Yan has gradually matured a lot, and he knows some things, and it is better not to know if he knows - no matter what the purpose of this Huang team leader is, it has nothing to do with him. Xu Yan has had enough troubles of his own, and he really doesn't want to get into other troubles.

It is also strange to say, on the second night after returning from Xiangcheng, when Xu Yan was cultivating the aura and refining the meridians, suddenly, among the meridians, a cool feeling that had never been felt before suddenly appeared, and then, Xu Yan felt cool all over his body, and the irresistible huge aura continued to pour into his body from the heavenly spirit acupoint above his head, and the cool aura rushed down along his back, like a tsunami, and quickly rushed over the top of his head, the back of his neck, his back, and his tail ridge. In the end, it violently poured into the dantian in Xu Yan's lower abdomen.

At that time, Xu Yan was taken aback, he still remembered Zhu Youxiang's teachings, saying that cultivation is the most taboo for quick success and quick gain, and the most taboo for vain progress. Now, my whole body is cold, and the aura above my head is surging, which is clearly a harbinger of going crazy! He wanted to stop and collect his work, but the aura pouring in from the Heavenly Spirit Cave above his head was like a river and sea bursting its embankment, surging incomparably, and it couldn't be stopped at all, and it quickly ran in Xu Yan's body, and the dantian in Xu Yan's belly quickly rotated and expanded, hot and hot.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Yan, who was so anxious, hurriedly ran to knock on Zhu Youxiang's door and asked her to help check if there was something wrong with his cultivation? Is this the legendary madness?

Seeing Xu Yan's red-faced state, Zhu Youxiang was also slightly surprised. She stretched out her hand to help Xu Yan feel her pulse, but her face changed. He was silent for a long time, with a solemn look. Xu Yan was frightened, and asked repeatedly: "Xuan Yun." Xuanyun, what's wrong with me? Is there a remedy and redemption for this? ”

Zhu Youxiang shook her head slowly, her expression was solemn, she frowned slightly, and she was silent, as if there was a difficult matter that could not be solved.

Seeing Zhu Youxiang's face, Xu Yan's heart suddenly cooled by half: Zhu Youxiang is a very calm person, no matter how difficult it is to deal with things. She seemed to be lightweight, and it was rare to see her look so embarrassed - it seemed that she was only afraid that not only would her cultivation go wrong, but also that her life would be in danger!

"Xuanyun, I'm ...... Is there any salvation? Is it still possible to recover? ”

Zhu Youxiang pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "Childe, you want to recover...... That's just impossible. ”

For a while, Xu Yan almost felt a sense of despair with five thunderbolts, and he smiled reluctantly. "It's okay, Xuan Yun, you say, I can withstand it—I probably have how much time I have to live." Just say it. ”

Zhu Youxiang raised her head and looked at Xu Yan with sympathetic eyes, and she said deeply and mournfully, "Childe." If what I expected is true, if nothing else. How long do you ...... I'm afraid there are only three hundred years left. ”

After being stunned for half a minute, Xu Yan reacted: "Xuan Yun." Are you kidding me? ”

Zhu Youxiang smiled, her smile bloomed like a flower, like the sunshine dispelling the previous heaviness and haze, she stood up and curtsied at Xu Yan: "Congratulations to Gongzi, just last night, you have broken through the enlightenment period and entered the initial stage of Qi Induction - from now on, Gongzi has truly stepped into the path of cultivation, and he is already qualified to be called a person in my generation." From now on, I can call my son a Taoist friend. ”

"Daoyou?" For a moment, Xu Yan was immersed in great ecstasy, he scratched his head and smirked: "Xuan Yun, you say so...... It makes me look like a drug fan in a Hong Kong police movie. You might as well call me Xu Gongzi. But Xuan Yun, why is your expression so weird? For you, the induced period is just a very low-level level, right? ”

Zhu Youxiang nodded: "That's true, for me, the qi induction period is nothing, but it's just that the son's qi induction period is a little ungraspable for me, so I think about it for a long time - I remember that when I was cultivating, it took nearly two hundred days from enlightenment to the qi induction period, and the time spent by the son was only a few days—seven days, only seven days!"

Childe's cultivation is progressing so fast, I really can't believe it, so I repeatedly checked the meridians and aura in Childe's body, but the results of the inspection are all accurate, and Childe's aura has indeed reached the level of qi induction...... Childe, how do you feel yourself? ”

After discovering that his cultivation status was not right last night, Xu Yan had been in a state of panic, and he had no intention of thinking about anything else. Now that he was mentioned by Zhu Youxiang, he noticed something abnormal - he seemed to have become lighter, he had a feeling of lightness when he walked, his body had become lighter, and he had a feeling of walking against the wind when he walked - that feeling was like he could float in the air as long as he wanted to.

Xu Yan's heart moved, and he tried to operate the aura in his body - usually, every time Xu Yan exercised, he had to hold his breath and meditate, and only after meditating for half a sound could he enter a state of concentration, and the aura was also running very slowly, and he needed to concentrate and drive. But now, Xu Yan felt that the heaven and earth were filled with sufficient aura, and he just had a thought, and the aura immediately poured into his body from the heavenly spirit acupoint above his head, and transported away the whole body, running at an astonishing speed, and a week was just an instant! Xu Yan could feel that the total amount of spiritual energy in his body had not increased much, but the speed of running and replenishing had greatly accelerated—not to mention ten times faster!

Xu Yan told Zhu Youxiang about his feelings, and the latter nodded with a smile: "Attracting the aura of heaven and earth for your own use, in this way, it is indeed the period of qi induction." Congratulations, Childe, until today, you have finally officially become a cultivator. ”

"Xuan Yun, actually, since I found the qi sense and entered the enlightenment period, I started cultivating at that time, right? Why is it that I can't really be considered a cultivator until I have cultivated to the stage of qi induction? ”

Zhu Youxiang was also stunned for a moment on this question, she frowned slightly and thought for a while, and said: "In the Daming Cultivation Realm, everyone thinks so by convention, and I have always said so. As for why, I haven't looked into it...... Childe, you asked. I really can't answer. ”

She pondered for a moment, and finally smiled: "Young Master Xu." For cultivators, the advanced period of qi induction is a symbolic event, and the period of qi induction and the period below the period of qi induction are completely different points of dividing point. Because during the enlightenment period, the meridians in the cultivator's body are too fragile, the amount of spiritual energy is too small, and the replenishment is slow, which is not enough to cast even the lowest level of spells.

And after the qi induction period, because there is a steady stream of heaven and earth aura replenishment. It is also because of the acceleration of the speed of the meridian operation of the aura, that our generation is truly capable of casting various spells - that is to say, until the qi induction period, the cultivators of our generation can be regarded as truly 'possessing supernatural powers', and only then do they have mana and abilities beyond ordinary people.

In the cultivation period under the Qi Induction Period, at most, their bodies are stronger than ordinary people, or their skills are more agile and dexterous, but these ordinary people can also do it after training. So. Habitually, we tend to regard those who are still in the enlightenment stage as mere mortals, and we don't see them as fellow practitioners. ”

What Zhu Youxiang said, Xu Yan seems to understand or not. But there was one sentence, but he heard it clearly, Zhu Youxiang just finished speaking. He immediately asked, "Xuan Yun, you mean." I can use spells now? ”

In response to Xu Yan's question, Zhu Youxiang gave a very positive answer: "That's true!" Just now. I checked Childe's aura and body veins, and found that Childe's body is full of aura, which is enough to cast spells, according to Childe's current level of aura, you can already use many beginner-level spells, such as Cool Technique, Exorcism Technique, Circle Light Spell, Bright Spell, Cleansing Spell, Centering Technique, Evil Observation Technique, Qi Viewing Technique, Sword Mang, Identification Technique——"

Hearing that there were so many spells that could be learned, Xu Yan was immediately overjoyed, and before Xu Yan could cheer, Zhu Youxiang changed his words: "However, I don't want to learn spells now, and I won't teach spells to Gongzi now." ”

As if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Xu Yan asked in disappointment, "Why?" ”

"Childe, you have made rapid progress, and you have reached the Qi Induction Period in only seven days, and I don't know why—maybe it's because Childe you are talented, or maybe Childe's physique is particularly suitable for this exercise, but according to common sense, if the progress is too fast, it often means that the foundation is unstable, which leaves you with hidden dangers. I think that the top priority for you now is not to learn all kinds of spells in a hurry, but to hurry up your cultivation and lay a solid foundation - the so-called magic powers, that is just a small way, my generation of cultivators, the most important thing is to improve their own strength and realm.

Childe, you have just reached the Qi Induction Period, and at this time, instead of reluctantly driving the spell to hurt your foundation and meridians, and distracting your energy and spirit, it is better to concentrate on continuing to cultivate and strive to reach a higher realm as soon as possible——"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiang became stern: "Young Master Xu, I originally thought that you should have some time to cultivate to the Qi Induction Period, so there are some mental things that I have never mentioned to you. Unexpectedly, Childe, your progress is very fast, far beyond expectations, yes, there are some words, I have to talk to you in advance. ”

Xu Yan sat up straight and said seriously: "Xuan Yun, please speak, I will listen to you." ”

"Childe, the path of cultivating the truth is a road of no return, and it is difficult for one of the thousands of people to succeed and become immortal, this is indeed a lonely and dangerous road. Childe, what is the purpose of your embarking on this road? ”

What is the purpose of cultivating the truth by yourself?

For a while, Xu Yan was also at a loss.

This is a question he never considered. When Zhu Youxiang asked him if he was interested in learning the Tao, Xu Yan only felt that this was a rare and good opportunity, and immediately agreed without thinking, without thinking about why. Now that Zhu Youxiang was suddenly asked, he woke up: Yes, why do you want to learn to cultivate the truth?

Do you want to live forever? But Zhu Youxiang has clearly told himself that even if they are cultivators, unless they are those immortal realms that can cultivate to the shattered void, most of their lifespans are limited, and they will only have a lifespan of three or four hundred years, and they will have to experience the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death like ordinary people, until they fall.

Is it to obtain all kinds of supernatural powers and spells so that you can be in the limelight in society? Well, Xu Yan admits that this is indeed an important motivation for him to learn Xiuzhen, after all, he is still a young man's heart, which teenager does not hide a heroic dream of chivalry and righteousness and riding horses in the rivers and lakes? What boy doesn't want to attract the admiring eyes of a girl? But Xu Yan felt that his purpose of learning and cultivating the truth should be far more than that.

looked at Xu Yan and was silent for a long time. Zhu Youxiang said in a deep voice: "In the eyes of true cultivators, the pursuit of supernatural powers and supernatural abilities. This is actually a very low level, and the strength of the mind and will is the real strength. The number of spells that a cultivator can do does not represent his strength, this is just a by-product of the cultivation process, and it is not surprising. When Childe you reach a higher level, at that time, these low-level spells are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Childe, at that time, Childe, you don't even have to deliberately learn, and all kinds of supernatural powers will naturally appear on your body - this is what the Fang family called "Divine powers do not seek supernatural powers, but supernatural powers appear on their own". ”

Xu Yan was confused. Zhu Youxiang sighed, knowing that she was still talking too deeply, with this young man's current level and experience, she still couldn't understand, she said in a deep voice: "Childe, I'm afraid you still can't figure it out for a while, and when you cultivate in the future, you will slowly understand it, and you will finally be able to understand what I said today." ”

Then. Zhu Youxiang groaned slightly, but his face showed embarrassment, Xu Yan asked, "Xuan Yun, but is there anything wrong?" ”

"Yes. Childe, I thought of one thing: in the cultivation realm, it is a very grand and formal thing for a newcomer to enter the qi induction period. Just like when children enter the school and are taught. The elders often give him pen, ink, paper, and inkstones to wish the students to study hard and succeed in their studies, and to be in the cultivation realm. There is also a tradition when a new person enters the induction period. His master or elder would also give him a spiritual artifact to wish him progress in his cultivation. Just like my cicada wing sword, it was given to me by my master on the day I stepped into the qi induction period, and I have always carried it with me and practiced it as a talisman spiritual weapon, but it is just ......"

Zhu Youxiang smiled awkwardly: "Today is the happy day of the son, as the guide of the son, it is said that I should also have something to say, but I am here and the only spiritual weapon with magical powers around me is this cicada wing sword." And this sword is given by my master, so it is not appropriate to give it away...... So—"

She looked at Xu Yan and said apologetically: "I can only owe this congratulatory gift first, and let me make up for it after I return to Daming in the future." ”

At this moment, Xu Yan's feeling was really like crying without tears, his mood was like he had just taken a roller coaster, with big ups and downs - I didn't expect it, Zhu Youxiang, you, a pure girl, also began to learn from Zhao Benshan? You don't need to say it if you don't want to give it, why bother to ramble so much nonsense in front of you, what kind of cultivation tradition, your own example back then, Lao Tzu's appetite was hung high, and the expectation soared, but in the end, it was to sue me, you have no goods on you now, you can't give gifts, and I will make up for it when I go back to Daming in the future - your sister, whether you can go back to Daming or not, it is still an unknown quantity; Even if you really go back to the other world of Daming, can I still chase you over and ask for a gift?

Xu Yan cried with a sad face, and his breath was weak: "Xuan Yun, you are polite, thank you, you really have a heart." ”

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

Xu Yan broke through the enlightenment period and entered the qi induction period, in addition to the rapid progress of the realm, this also has a benefit to Xu Yan, that is, his cultivation has been much more convenient since then - Xu Yan no longer needs to use a special cross-knee meditation posture to cultivate, no matter what posture, what environment, even if it is in the noisy street or lecture class, as long as Xu Yan is willing, he can enter the cultivation state at any time, and even when Xu Yan is not deliberate, the aura in his body is also running and flowing all the time, I really practiced all the time.

In this way, Xu Yan returned to his accustomed life. In the morning, he went back to school with his schoolbag in high spirits, went to and from class normally, laughed and played with his classmates, bragged and chatted; At noon, he and the fat man Liu Yang went to the canteen to eat with their shoulders and shoulders, and when they saw a beautiful girl, they whistled wildly, causing the other party to roll their eyes, and these two guys laughed heartlessly; At night, Xu Yan waited at the door of the library, competing for seats with the senior brothers from the department or other departments who were going to graduate school, and used books to occupy the seats—in the eyes of outsiders, what Xu Yan expressed was the ordinary life of an ordinary college student.

In the past, Xu Yan always felt that such a dull college student life was very boring, and he always longed for something novel and exciting, but as people often say, he only knew how to cherish it after he lost it. After experiencing all kinds of thrilling and strange things, Xu Yan finally discovered that such a dull life like an ordinary person also contains a unique charm.

It's a pity that just one day later, Xu Yan's peaceful life was broken.

On this day, Xu Yan was still in class at school, but his mobile phone that was turned into silent mode was buzzing and vibrating. Xu Yan picked up the phone and saw that it was an unknown number, he lowered his head, pressed the answer button, and asked in a low voice, "Hey?" Who is it? ”

A gentle and crisp female voice came from the microphone: "Excuse me, is it Comrade Xu Yan?" ”

Hearing that the person who came called him "Comrade Xu Yan", Xu Yan immediately knew that the other party should be someone from the Intelligence Department. At this time, the professor on the podium looked at this side dissatisfied, Xu Yan lowered his voice and said quickly: "Well, it's me...... I'm not comfortable talking right now, so let's text each other. After speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he had already hung up the phone neatly. (To be continued......)
