Chapter 24: The Path of Cultivation

Since the Great War of Immortals and Demons thousands of years ago, there have been many immortals and beasts in the Immortal Realm left behind in the Sea of the Underworld, but in order to protect themselves, most of them have hidden or disguised themselves and are not discovered by ordinary people.

In addition to these creatures, even plants and minerals are very magical, because only moonlight, most of the plant colors are dark, but there are also some plants that are self-luminous, such as fluorescent crystal orchid, when flowering, the whole body is translucent, sparkling, all over the mountains like silver crystals, very beautiful.

Giant trees such as Danmu can even illuminate their surroundings with light, making them as bright as day within a radius of five miles.

There is also a kind of grass that can't be named by small bones, but if accidentally eaten by mistake, it will cause people to hallucinate. There is another kind of begonia fruit is even more magical, after eating, it can float on the water surface within half a column of incense, so that people do not sink.

She didn't expect that the underworld would be such a grotesque place, which was really amazing and amazing.

Because the currencies used in the underworld were gold, silver, and copper coins, the mining industry was also very prosperous. All kinds of spars and mineral deposits are dotted and countless. In the underworld, every two taels of gold can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand dollars, but ordinary people have no silver money, and all kinds of spar minerals and even grain can be used to barter.

As for the price of the time, Pregnant Qiao also learned a little about it, an ordinary family, the living expenses for a whole year are roughly twenty taels of silver, and the monthly money of the maids is one tael of silver, and a banquet in a wine shop generally costs about 200 to 300 yuan. In this way, the ten taels of gold of the skeleton bones are indeed a lot of wealth.

She was most concerned about cultivation, so she asked very carefully.

I've heard Skeleton Bone mention it before, in the underworld, all living beings can be cultivated, and Skeleton Bone has mentioned soul cultivation and demon cultivation.

Now she learned that there were actually other ghost cultivators and demon cultivators, and even corpse cultivators, and there were so many more. For example, Qingsan is a ghost cultivator, but the realm is very low, and he only has a mid-level soul refining realm.

Cultivation is generally divided into five major realms, which are the Soul Refining Realm, the Condensation Realm, the Concentration Realm, the Nirvana Realm, and the Void Realm, and each major realm is divided into four levels: the Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Consummation.

It is said that if you reach the realm of stepping on the void, you can soar into the fairy realm.

However, looking at the entire underworld, there are very few people who can reach the Gathering God Realm now, let alone step into the Void Realm. It is said that the Ghost Emperor of the Four Directions, the Ten Halls of Hell and the Eight Great Ghost Generals are all cultivators in the Gathering God Realm, and they are already regarded as first-class masters in the entire underworld.

What's more, after the Great War of Immortals and Demons, Tongtian Jianmu has been destroyed, even if it has reached an unprecedented realm, I don't know if I can soar to become an immortal, because the immortal world is now gone.

The comparison of the skeleton bones surprised Pregnant Qiao, who had actually reached the high level of the Soul Refining Realm, which was even one order higher than Qing San.

Skeleton Xiaogu himself was also very puzzled, he had only cultivated for a hundred years and only had a mid-level cultivation in the Soul Refining Realm, because the cultivation progress of the Skeleton Clan was very slow, and it was considered a waste-like existence among many cultivators in the underworld, otherwise he would not have run to be the guiding messenger of the underworld.

However, since the last time he fainted and woke up outside the city, Skeleton Xiaogu found that he had inexplicably ascended a big level, directly from the middle level of the Soul Refining Realm to the high level of the Soul Refining Realm, which was simply incredible for the skeleton clan!

Speaking of what happened outside the city, Pregnant Qiao suddenly remembered that she had seen Rainbow Dash take out a soul crystal, which brought back the skeletal bones that were almost seriously injured. Maybe it's because of the soul crystal?

Out of curiosity, Pregnant Qiao also asked about some things about soul crystals, but Xiao Gu and Xiao Qing both shook their heads and didn't know, saying that they had never heard of any soul crystals.

Although Xiaoqing also has practice, he is only at the beginning of the Soul Refining Realm, and he has not advanced an inch in the past few years.

Pregnant Qiao learned from Skull Bone that it was not difficult to start cultivating. The most important thing in the Soul Refining Realm is to strengthen the body, and you need to draw qi into the body and strengthen your body.

The body is strong enough to be the best container and lay the foundation for subsequent cultivation.

This stage is considered the basic entry stage, which is relatively simple, and there are even more guidance techniques and qi training techniques in different categories.

The second realm of cultivation is the condensation realm, at this stage, you need to strengthen your soul, it is not enough to just introduce qi into the body, you also need to introduce the gas into the body, condense the qi into the soul, to strengthen your soul, only the soul is strong enough, it is possible to become a strong person who dominates one side in the future.

At this stage, as long as there is a good condensation exercise, it is not difficult.

The third realm is the Gathering Divine Realm, and the Gathering Divine Realm is a watershed, and many cultivators have stopped at this and are not allowed to advance an inch.

To gather the spirit is to condense the spiritual power and refine the spirit. Therefore, the Gathering Divine Realm not only needs to have a huge soul power as a foundation, but also needs to have strong mental power and control ability, which is also known as the god transformation stage.

As for the two realms of Nirvana and Stepping on the Void, they are only legendary existences, and very few people can reach that height, and how it is, Xiao Gu and Xiao Qing are not very clear.

But no matter what realm it is, as long as you start cultivating, you need to use the guidance technique or qi training technique to induce qi into the body, and it is not difficult to induce qi into the body, but the difficult thing is to strip out the miscellaneous and other useless gases and impurities, and only breathe out and absorb the gas that is beneficial to your cultivation.

For example, the Yin Soul can only absorb Yuan Qi, the Skeleton Clan can absorb Soul Power, the Ghost Cultivator needs to absorb the Ghost Qi, the Demon Cultivator can only absorb the Demon Qi, and so on.

The skull bone also told Pregnant Qiao that when he reached the end of his cultivation in the future, he would be able to do everything from heaven to earth, even if he wanted to return to the Yang Realm, it was not impossible.

It's just a pity that nowadays, there are certain risks in cultivation. Because, the balance between the various Yuan forces between heaven and earth has been lost, and the underworld is filled with more and more demonic qi, which is extremely difficult to eliminate, and most of them will be mixed with Yuan power, soul power, ghost energy, and demonic qi to be absorbed by cultivators.

In the long run, the more demonic energy a cultivator ingests, the greater the possibility of demonization in the future.

Once a cultivator is demonized, his mind is easily bewitched by some negative and evil thoughts, and he becomes more and more bloodthirsty and brutal.

After listening to it, although she was still a little foggy, she also roughly understood what cultivation was all about.

I can't imagine that cultivation is so difficult, but isn't life a practice against the heavens?

She decided that she wanted to embark on this path of cultivation, no matter what difficulties and dangers lay ahead, how many unknowns and dangers there were, she would go all the way.

Even if it wasn't for anything else, just for that glimmer of possibility—the possibility of returning to the Yang Realm, she had to give it a go.
