Chapter 23: The Condensation Period

Moreover, there are more than 20,000 outer disciples, except for those who enter the Qi Condensation Period before the age of 16 and can directly enter the inner gate, the rest of the disciples can also enter the inner gate before the age of 20 when they cultivate to the Qi refining period of the Qi Realm, that is, above the seventh order, or no matter how old they are to reach the Foundation Building Realm, this blocks how many outer disciples, and the inner disciples are only 3,000 people, you can imagine how difficult it is for the inner disciples to enter, so as a new disciple, he will enter the inner gate in less than half a year, which is naturally shocking to the entire outer gate.

The disciples were shocked, Yao Lao walked in and began to teach, Chen Tang often read some medicine books, and Yao Lao explained again, and he benefited a lot.

At the end of the class, Yao Lao left, and Chen Tang also got up and walked out of the lecture hall, this is Liu Haoran chasing after him from behind, "This senior brother, senior brother." When he chased after Chen Tang to his side, he knew that he was calling himself, so he stood still and waited for Liu Haoran to speak.

Liu Haoran said: "Hehe, senior brother, I originally thought you came in through the back door, but I didn't expect your skills to be so profound. Just now the brother was offended by the lack of eyes. Liu Haoran understands that if you can't get out of the back door, it is even more fantastical that you can break through the qi induction period by opening a small stove, or because of my extraordinary talent, I also want to apologize and make friends when I catch up.

Chen Tang is not the kind of person who is cautious, and smiled: "It's okay, no one thought I was going through the back door when I was in the big exam." ”

Liu Haoran was on Chen Tang's right side, looking at Chen Tang and smiling for a moment, he said in his heart that this senior brother is really a pity, but his appearance is red, and he said, "I just said... Yin.. The face is not intentional. "He's not stupid, this sentence may hurt this senior brother very much.

Chen Tang laughed and said, "Originally, I had red spots on my face, and I didn't let people say it." Then the two of them said goodbye to each other.

Liu Haoran said in his heart, this senior brother is broad-minded, but he can be friends. It's not that he's snobbish, and everyone admires talented people, but not all talented people can befriend.

The road of cultivation is long, Chen Tang began to practice in the outer gate again, and when he went to listen to the lectures, after Yang Qingsong took charge of the medicine hall and study, the management of the medicine garden was also much easier, and Chen Tang was a one-minded cultivation in the rest of the time. And Chen Tang's reputation has also spread, and behind Chen Tang's back, there is always a gaze full of awe.

It was three months in a flash, Chen Tang's pneumatic realm had already touched the threshold of the sixth order, and when he was depressed, Bai Yang and Zhong Lingyu came to look for them, and the three of them came out of the medicine garden, and when they arrived at Changyun Palace, they saw Xue Lu and the others waiting there, and several of them went to Yunzhong Pavilion to drink together.

After a lively time, Chen Tang asked Bai Yang: "Senior Brother Bai, if you want to repair other weapons, how can you apply to the door?"

"The Scripture Pavilion. ”

"Where is the Scripture Pavilion, do you need any letter to enter?" asked Chen Tang.

"You haven't been to the Scripture Pavilion yet?" Bai Yang patted his head and said: "Negligence, you live in the Medicine Garden, and the new disciples all live in the station, and the new disciples have a resident steward to take them to the Scripture Pavilion collectively, and you don't know." ”

Chen Tang was speechless, no one took him to the Scripture Pavilion when he went through the back door.

"However," Bai Yang said again: "Even if you go, you can only read some basic books, and your martial arts are average, if you want to be optimistic about the exercises and martial arts, you have to rely on the sect tasks to change, and the new disciples are not yet a year old, and they are not allowed to go out to practice, so it's not too late for you to go now." ”

Chen Tang nodded, and after he was full of wine and food, everyone spun around again, and then Bai Yang accompanied Chen Tang to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is in the central area, it is not too far from the medicine garden, it is built by the mountain, it is as high as five floors, and most of the building is embedded in the mountain, and it can be seen that the mountain is hollow.

The two took out the disciple's name card and entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Chen Tang could only see it on the first floor, it was very large, rows of books were arranged on the shelves, divided into exercises, martial arts, basic pharmacopoeia, customs, biographies, etc., Chen Tang went to the exercise area, Qi induction formula, Qi condensation formula, Qi refining is listed, and there are some other exercises, such as the demon subduing gong is a Buddhist exercise, refining the sun is a fire exercise, shaking the mountain and Zhenyue gong is an earth exercise, etc., but it is much more difficult than the three tricks of cultivation, all of which are provided by the disciples in the experience or collected by the sect elders, the martial arts have Paiyun palm, Zhenlong fist, etc., and the weapons have swordsmanship, sticks, knives, marksmanship, etc., everything is available, but they are not as good as Tengyun swordsmanship. There is no need to read the basic pharmacopoeia, Chen Tang has seen the most profound knowledge of pills in the medicine garden. But I didn't find any formation books, and it is estimated that they are all on the second floor, and they can only be exchanged for doing tasks.

Chen Tang was very interested in the customs, and suddenly found a map inside, which was a map of the entire Xiyue Kingdom, which was much bigger than the one he bought before. Chen Tang looked at the map, Xiyue country is very large, Jiuyang County is actually in the westernmost part of Xiyue country, and then there are other countries in the west, there are five counties in the east, there are five counties in the south, most of these ten counties are larger than Jiuyang County, respectively, they are governed by Xiyue Gate Liuyunmen, there is a county in the middle is the capital, which is governed by the royal family, of course, the jurisdiction of the sect is only to manage the monks, and the emperor governs the eleven counties and all the official people of the cities below. The entire Xiyue Kingdom Chen Tang is estimated to be equivalent to more than half of China.

There is also a map, which is a map of a larger area, but it is very simple, only the outline is outlined, it is a map of the entire Wanyue Prefecture, and the Xiyue Kingdom is only a small part of the southwesternmost part of Wanyue Prefecture, and the entire 12 countries of Wanyue Prefecture have drawn a big mountain in the easternmost part, and it is written: Wanyue Sect. I heard this name in Bai Yang's mouth once, and he didn't seem to be so convinced, but seeing this map, Chen Tang was very interested in Wanyue Sect, how many disciples did the sect have in such a large place, it should be very strong.

Chen Tang put down the map, flipped through it casually, and suddenly found a notebook, which was written by the elder of Liuyunmen hundreds of years ago, called "Soul Cultivation Seeing Differences", which describes the process of this elder who was training outside at that time, and saw the process of a monk cultivating souls against the enemy, and a conversation with this elder. From the elder's account, this monk's methods were very terrifying, silently defeating and destroying the enemy, and he couldn't figure it out at all, and the elder only said that his soul sea was also affected, and it couldn't be stopped at all. Later, the elder humbly asked for advice, and the soul monk told him that it was difficult to specialize in the soul, and that it was necessary to start from the cultivation of divine consciousness, and the will, inner demons, and wisdom had to be practiced to a certain extent in order to cultivate the soul, and it was already too late to specialize in the soul after the foundation was built.

This elder later continued to study the soul in his practice, but he made little progress, delayed his practice, and died of exhaustion. Chen Tang closed the notebook and admired this explorer of soul cultivation very much, and Chen Tang was a soul cultivator, and he knew many times more soul knowledge than this elder, but he knew that the soul was ethereal and difficult to explore, and if he didn't teach the Dharma to the elder, he wouldn't have the whim to cultivate the soul.
