Chapter 52: Ethereal Cloud Peak

The moon sets and the stars sink, the dawn breaks in the east, and a bright red morning sun rises from below the horizon, radiating a thousand zhang of light! Red light dyes all over the mountains, so that the lofty mountains and mountains around the Lishan mountain range are covered with red glow.

"Bell! bell!"

Three bells rang in all directions, Su San opened his eyes from the bed, and looked out the window, at this time, the ground outside the window was scorching, in groups of three or five, all walking in one direction.

On the fifth day after the disciple was graded, Su San stayed in his room and stayed at home for the past few days, in the midst of deep cultivation.

There is no special place to eat in the Qingyan Sect, but there is a bazaar at the foot of the mountain, they are ordinary disciples who have not yet reached the Bigu stage, three meals a day are indispensable for them, Su San bought a lot of food in the bazaar on the first day, enough for him to use for a month of closed-door cultivation.

Although Su San has been staying at home for the past few days and has been practicing behind closed doors at home, he still heard a lot of news in the market under the mountain before.

The grading of the disciples of the Qingyan Sect is not only the difference between A, B and C, there is also an identity of an inner disciple above them, although they are divided into A, B, C and three levels, they are just ordinary outer disciples, because only the inner disciples can be called the mainstay of the sect, and the cultivation path can be regarded as a real entry into the hall.

This market at the foot of the mountain is very lively, restaurants, pawnshops, medicinal herb shops, gambling houses, green houses, garment shops, auction houses and other industries are all available, compared to the bustling area of large cities, the patterns and types here are not inferior, the quality is also very high, dizzying, a whole day can not visit the whole market.

Qingyan Sect forbade outer disciples to step out of the sect's territory, partly because they had not learned the real skills, and they would be laughed at if they encountered disasters when they walked out of the mountain gate, and they fell into the name of one of the four major sects in the world of Qingyan Sect, so they were not allowed to go down the mountain at will before they became inner disciples.

Although they were not allowed to go down the mountain, the Qingyan Sect still allowed a piece of land to open a market at the foot of the mountain, and although those ordinary disciples could not leave the sect's territory, they could still enjoy the glory and wealth in the mundane.

Cultivation does not mean that the six roots are pure, properly letting go of oneself is also a kind of practice, this bazaar at the edge of the foot of the mountain, is a place for them to relax, and this place is not simple, although the goods in it are dazzling, but the price is very expensive, here to come chic, it can be said that spending money is like flowing water.

But those who can enter the Qingyan Sect, at least in the short term, they can still spend the money they need to live, and most of the shops in this bazaar are powerful businesses in the secular world, otherwise they can't do business here, but in any case, the needs they face, the people they can come into contact with, are nothing more than ordinary outer disciples, compared to the higher level of inner disciples, it is not something they can reach.

Only by breaking through to a higher realm and becoming an inner disciple of the sect can you be regarded as entering the hall on the road of cultivation, and from then on you will be separated from mortals, and your life span will be a hundred years in a hurry, and your life level will reach a higher level.

Logically speaking, a monk who is beyond the mortal womb of the flesh and has incredible abilities, and a person in this cultivation realm, can be regarded as an immortal master praised by the world.

What is the realm of transcending the mortal womb of the flesh and having incredible powers? Su San left the bazaar on the way back to the mountain, constantly thinking about this question in his heart.

Could it be the realm above the third layer of body refining?

Su San thought in his heart.

Su San had already read all the previous "Qingyan Law Records", and all the content in it was imprinted in Su San's mind, and the realm of cultivation was also briefly mentioned in the book.

The path of cultivation, Su San had understood before, and it was specifically divided into two paths - qi refining and body refining.

However, whether it is qi refining or body refining, they are still only in the initial stage of cultivation, and those who take the qi refining route are called body refiners, and those who take the qi refining route are called qi refiners, not monks.

A true monk is above the Qi Refiner and the Body Refiner, and it is called the True Qi Realm and the Martial Dao Realm! Only when they have reached their respective respective transcendent realms can they be called monks, and only then can the path of cultivation be regarded as truly entering the hall.

The refining realm mentioned in the book is divided into three layers, and the interval divided by these three layers depends on the strength of the refiner himself, such as the "Little Yin and Yang Technique" practiced by Su San, the first layer exhales into frost, the second layer is as fast as a leopard, and the third layer flies like an ape, each layer can control different powers, and is divided into three layers.

If Su San could reach the third level of refining before the age of ten, he would be able to go to the disciple grading hall again and raise the status of a second-level outer disciple to a first-level.

After talking about refining the body, let's talk about the realm of qi refining, in fact, refining qi is also called condensing qi, no matter how you describe it, it is related to the qi in the body, the word qi, in Su San's understanding before, it was a little divine, and it was not clear, but this breath was real.

The realm of refining qi has different descriptions according to different exercises, after all, this world is very large, and the same thing exists but there will be many different realizations and changes, and different exercises also have different descriptions, most of them inherit the descriptions and wisdom left by the first exercise creator.

But no matter what, refining gas is refining qi, and everything changes from its origin, and the first layer of refining qi is according to the introduction in the "Qingyan Law Record", the first layer is Lingtai Qingming, and the second layer is the five senses. The third layer is to prolong life, although the first two layers look ordinary, but as far as the first layer is concerned, it is not easy for ordinary people to reach, because in the early stage of refining qi, what is important is to conceive and cultivate a breath of internal qi in the body, full of qi and leisurely, full of qi and vigorous, a breath of internal qi circulates in the body, and it is like standing out from the crowd, and it can always appear more energetic and different from the ordinary people around it.

As far as body refining is concerned, ordinary people can reach the first level of body refining through hard training and taking physique-enhancing medicinal materials, but the first level of qi refining is much more difficult than the first level of body refining.

Comparing the difference and difficulty between qi refining and body refining, most of them, the disciples who have newly entered the sect, take the path of body refining, but there are very few people who take the route of qi refining.

The fact that there are few people refining qi does not mean that they do not yearn for refining qi, although practicing qi is more difficult than refining the body, but the most fundamental difference between these two paths is that they come from the third layer realm!

There are three layers of refining the body, flying like an ape, and three layers of refining qi, but it can prolong life!

Some people with conditions will try to refine qi first, and if they can't refine qi, they will turn into refining the body, although refining qi is difficult in the early stage, but after cultivating to the third layer realm, they can extend their life for fifty years!

However, the cultivators of the third layer of body refining are still only the lifespan of ordinary mortals, and there are many body refiners who even overdraw the potential of their bodies prematurely because of the pressure of physical cultivation when they were young, leaving many secret injuries in their bodies, and when they are old, the secret injuries erupt, and their lifespan is not even as good as that of mortals.

Regarding the information about the cultivation realm obtained from the book, as well as the various gossip news he heard from the foot of the mountain, Su San had his own opinions in his heart.

Qingyan Sect Lishan Branch, on this Lishan Mountain Range, all the disciples are one in a million, Su San is in this group of people, seemingly ordinary but contains essential differences, because he hides the civilization of another world in his mind, no matter when and where, more advanced and excellent ideas are always an important prerequisite for the development of the times, which is also the difference between Su San and others.

Today is the first day of the month, and three bells rang from the Lishan mountainside, spreading throughout the entire Lishan mountain range, indicating that this month's preaching conference is about to begin.

At the beginning of each month, an elder will open the altar to preach, choose a practice to explain or talk about some cultivation experience, and the preaching place is on a misty mountain peak, which is the third highest peak of the Lishan Mountain Range, called Ethereal Cloud Peak.

Taking the robe prepared by Qingyan Sect for his disciples from the side, Su San's eyes were bright, maybe today's sermon could help him answer a lot of questions in his heart.
