After Mu Xiaodie took the exercise jade slip handed over by the old man and thanked him gratefully, he asked embarrassedly, "Grandpa, can I double cultivate?" ”

"Oh? The little girl's consciousness is very high, Mingdao boy, you see how good your woman is to you, you are blessed! The old man exclaimed, and without hesitation, he took out another piece of jade and whispered to Mu Xiaodie mysteriously: "This is an exercise that I have treasured for many years, and I have been learning and using it myself before, and the effect is unexpectedly good." Now I will pass it on to you, you have to study it carefully, the knowledge in it is very broad and profound! ”

Mu Xiaodie took the piece of jade slip, and naturally thanked him a thousand times, and began to learn the exercises on the two pieces of jade slip without hesitation.

"Grandpa, you are eccentric!" Meng Yuanyun didn't follow, why did everyone only have one exercise, but Sister Xiaodie had two, she immediately ran over angrily and pulled the old man's beard to express her dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you all a family, isn't it the same when she practices for you!?" The old man hurriedly covered his beard and explained.

After Meng Yuanyun heard this, he didn't kill the old man's beard, but instead beat his back instead.

"This path of cultivation is long and boring, you must be able to calm down, endure loneliness, and lay a good foundation step by step." The old man emphasized earnestly, "There are levels of cultivators, from low to high: forging the body, practicing qi, building the foundation, fusion, Jindan, Yuanying, out-of-body period, distraction period, merging period, cave void period, Mahayana period, and crossing the tribulation period, at present, you only need to know these, the focus of cultivation at each stage is different, and your exercises are explained in detail, so I won't repeat them here." ”

"After the fusion period is complete, when you break through and enter the Jindan period, a thunder tribulation will fall. There are nine paths per round of Thunder Tribulation, which cannot be dodged but can be reduced by certain methods. This first round of thunder tribulation is called the 19 Thunder Tribulation, and each subsequent stage of promotion, the Thunder Tribulation will increase by a multiple of nine, 29 Thunder Tribulation, 39 Thunder Tribulation...... Wait a minute. The strength and wave of the Thunder Tribulation will change according to the qualifications of the person who breaks through, the exercises, etc., and the stronger the person who crosses the Tribulation, the stronger the Thunder Tribulation will be. You can just regard the thunder tribulation as a test of heaven and earth, don't be too afraid of it and don't take it lightly, just keep the mentality of going with the flow. After receiving the baptism of thunder, it will be very beneficial to your body, and it can be regarded as the welfare of heaven and earth for you. The old man introduced.

"These nine thunder tribulations are exquisite. Although they descend in the form of Thunder Tribulation, their properties are not the same. Among them, there are five realms of the five elements of thunder tribulation, which are the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the remaining four are: good and evil tribulation, heavenly demon tribulation, reincarnation tribulation and heavenly path tribulation. The old man continued to analyze.

"Good and Evil Tribulations: Punishment or rewards are given according to what the person has done between the two tribulations. If it is evil, it will be aggravated; Doing good deeds mitigates or even negates the damage of other thunderstorms.

Heavenly Demon Tribulation: Specifically acts on the hearts of the Tribulators. Firmness of heart is useless; On the contrary, it is very dangerous, the light ones go mad, and the heavy ones are burned to death by the fire of the heart. The Heavenly Demon Tribulation, also known as the Heart Knot, is the most dangerous of the Nine Thunder Tribulations.

Reincarnation: A thunderstorm given according to the reincarnation of the traverser's previous life. Those who have committed serious sins in previous lives and have not been cleared of their sins will be punished more severely, and those who have no sins or who have done good in their previous lives can ignore or offset the harm of other thunderstorms.

Heavenly Tribulation: In order to highlight the majesty of heaven and earth, this thunder tribulation ignores defense, cannot be reduced, and the damage is fixed. ”

"One round of thunder tribulation is stronger than another, and you should be completely prepared before breaking through. Formations, treasures, merits, etc., can reduce the damage you have received, so you need to pay attention to them and collect as many of these things as possible. In addition, crossing the thunder tribulation is a very personal matter, when preparing for the tribulation, all the things need to be prepared by yourself, others must not help each other, let alone get close to the tribulator, otherwise the power of the thunder tribulation will increase exponentially, and the original can be safely passed may be wiped out under the enhanced thunder tribulation, remember to remember! ”

"Yes! We remembered. Everyone replied earnestly.

"Grandpa, I see that the exercises you give to everyone are different, is there anything important?" Demingdao couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"There are so many exercises in the world, and the knowledge in the exercises is deep~" The old man motioned for everyone to sit down and began to popularize the knowledge of the exercises: "This cultivation of the true exercises is a valuable wealth obtained by the predecessors through the continuous exploration and research of the principles of heaven and earth, and then systematically summarized the experience, and then through the practice of generations of ancestors. The exercises are divided into: 'Dao' and 'Universe Desolate Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang' nine levels, the highest 'Dao Steps' are lowered in turn, and each level is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, a total of 27 grades. Although it is said that the higher the level of the practice, the better the effect of the practice, but this is not absolute. Those who say this themselves have entered the misunderstanding of rank worship. For example, there is a book of exercises in the 'Yellow Rank Lower Grade', called "General Principles and Basic Application of Spiritual Power Cultivation". Don't underestimate this lowest-level basic exercise, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations of predecessors, and the exercises in it are open to all people in the world who have spiritual roots, as long as they are interested in cultivating spiritual power, they can take it and try to cultivate. The old man said and took a sip of beer, "The characteristics of this exercise are that the exercises are the most peaceful, the cultivation focuses on gradual progress, and the regression of the exercises is the smallest, so it is suitable for people of almost all races to cultivate, so as to achieve the goal of 'all people can cultivate the truth', but it also has many shortcomings, such as the slow cultivation speed, the scarcity of meridians that are tempered when the exercises are running, and the lack of spiritual power that can be stored and transformed. ”

Of course, the predecessors didn't just compile this set of exercises. Many people will modify the exercises they have been practicing according to their own characteristics, combined with some of their own perceptions and experiences when cultivating, to make them more suitable for themselves. Maybe they will modify the running route of spiritual power in the meridians, so that the spiritual power flows through more meridians at the same time, and converts more spiritual power into their own use; Maybe the amount of spiritual power converted when casting the spell was also modified, so that the effect of the spell was better, so another exercise was born. Of course, everyone's ability and comprehension are different, and the exercises they create are naturally very different, and the results obtained by future generations after using different exercises to practice are also very different. Therefore, later generations collected the exercises created by their predecessors and classified them according to certain standards, so that there is the current grade division of the ninth order and 27 grades. ”

Although this division has its necessary value, blind worship has entered a misunderstanding, and you must know that in addition to the different grades, this exercise also depends on whether it is suitable for one's own cultivation. Letting a person with a golden spiritual root practice practice not only fail to achieve the effect of cultivation, but will actually harm the body. Of course, this is just an analogy, no one would be stupid enough to practice exercises that are not suitable for their physical attributes. And some high-level exercises are tailor-made for themselves by their predecessors, and they can practice by themselves, while others will make slow progress in their cultivation because of such and such problems, which is the result of cultivating exercises that are not suitable for them; Some exercises are of a very high grade, and the effect of cultivation is also very prominent, but they often have some special restrictions, such as the water system exercise "Ice Heart Dafa" in addition to requiring the cultivator to reach the water spirit root of more than seven grades, but also to be ruthless and desireless, and to abandon distracting thoughts. ”

Therefore, when choosing exercises, it is not that the higher the grade, the better, but that you should try to choose the exercises that are most suitable for you. Of course, the grading of this exercise also provides a good reference standard for us to choose the exercises, which are also suitable for ourselves, and the high-grade ones are often more effective than the low-grade ones. This is true for exercises, as well as books on magic, magic, martial arts, and other books classified according to rank. The old man concluded.

After listening to the old man's explanation, everyone suddenly came to their senses, gently stroked the jade slip in their hands, and cherished it more and more in their hearts.

"This exercise can also be divided into three categories: self-cultivation exercises, fighting exercises, and demonic path exercises. Self-cultivation exercises focus on inner peace, and are often known for their peaceful spiritual power, fast cultivation speed, simple cultivation, relatively weak thunderstorms, and high survival rate.

Fighting exercises focus on the accumulation of spiritual power, and often the amount of spiritual power stored in the body is very large, and some exercises can even be described as furious. Cultivators spend a lot of energy to accumulate spiritual power, and the speed of cultivation is naturally a lot slower, plus cultivators who practice this kind of exercise often need to fight and kill, and the accumulated aura on their bodies lasts for a long time, and the thunder tribulation that falls when they break through is naturally a lot more dangerous, and the survival rate is naturally much lower;

There are also some people who have their own talents, and the exercises they create find a different way, blindly focusing on the effectiveness of cultivation, and even not hesitating to use bloody evil methods to enhance the effect, these exercises are the so-called demonic exercises. This kind of exercise kills countless beings at every turn, often harming the heavens and harmony, and the practitioner can easily go mad, even if he is lucky enough not to die in the fire, he will also die under the extremely dangerous thunder tribulation. The old man explained another way to classify the exercises.

"There is no trouble in the study of martial arts and magic, and you will naturally gain something from practicing diligently......" The old man had just explained the cultivation methods of other cultivation paths, when suddenly a scream interrupted his narration.

"Yikes! ~Grandpa, how can you do this...... You...... You ......" Mu Xiaodie's face suddenly turned red, and she said shyly to the old man.

"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled, and they all asked Mu Xiaodie about the reason with concern.

He ...... He ......" Mu Xiaodie couldn't speak, and finally stomped her foot and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, the double cultivation I am talking about is not this double cultivation...... What I need is a dual cultivation method of magic and spiritual power! ”

"Oh, I see, I misunderstood." The old man said apologetically with a suddenly realized expression. But everyone could see at a glance that this old man was deliberately playing tricks on Mu Xiaodie to have fun.

"This is for you, I specially made the "Ancient and Modern Magic", when you meditate, you can take four of the five series of water, earth, fire, wind and thunder to meditate." The old man took out another piece of jade slip and handed it to Mu Xiaodie, and then warned everyone: "The magic in it is very comprehensive, you can all learn the magic you can learn by yourself, but remember to be greedy and chew more, and do everything according to your ability." In addition, what I have given you must not be passed on easily, otherwise it will cause a bloody storm in the outside world, which is not the result I want. ”

Everyone took it to heart, and did not dare to disobey it in any way.
