Volume 1: The Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter Seventy-Three: The Distinction of Realms

From dusk that day, Chenfeng's life was regular like a robot, eating, sleeping, cultivating, and reading, in an orderly and step-by-step manner.

The daily rhythm of life is roughly as follows: get up on the fifth watch day and practice turtle breath and splitting the sky; make breakfast and read books at the same time; walk to the canopy to practice the Hongmeng method and watch the sun rise; go to the waterfall to forge the body; go to the forest to collect medicine and hunt; go back to the thatched house to make lunch and read books; after eating, go to the third floor of Yunshan to read books and refine medicine; go back to the thatched house to cook dinner at night and ask Lian Chengyu for the problems encountered that day; and sleep.

Even Chengyu gradually got used to the current Chenfeng, and at first he was worried that Chenfeng had a knot because of Chenqingqing's departure, but after a period of time, he found that Chenfeng had made great progress in all aspects, and even his body was a little stronger, so he was relieved, not to mention that his daily food was of good quality and quantity, so why not?

"What's the problem today, let's hear about it?"

During the meal that day, looking at the morning breeze with a tired face, Lian Chengyu took the initiative to ask.

"Today, I read a travelogue in Yunshan, and it said that the endless martial artist can confront the peak qi practitioner head-on with his physical body alone. ...... this?"

Chenfeng had food in his mouth, looked at a copy of "Treatise on Internal Injuries and Miscellaneous Diseases" in his hand, and asked vaguely.

"That's nature, the way of cultivation, after reaching the peak in any aspect, there is no cave heaven, but this is the peak...... It's not just anyone. ”

Lian Chengyu affirmed the evenly matched statement, and didn't care if Morrowind was not respectful, although Morrowind seemed to be casual when he asked this question, but he actually wanted to know if it was so.

"And this end and peak?"

Chenfeng raised his head and asked again, this is actually what Chenfeng desperately wants to know, he has always been cultivating, but he has always had a vague concept of the cultivation realm.

"This ...... Actually, you shouldn't know too early. Well, since that's the point, it's okay to talk about it!"

Lian Chengyu fought a battle between heaven and man in his heart, as if he had made a lot of determination, and finally planned to tell Morrowind the truth.

"Let's start with the well-known Qi Practitioner, Qi Practitioner is the cultivation choice of most people today, Qi Practitioner as the name suggests is to rely on the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to exist, and many methods are just the disguised use of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. The division of the realm is in the order of practicing qi, building the foundation, Jindan, Yuanying, transforming the gods, Mahayana, and Hedao. Each great realm is divided into the front, middle, and late stages, the triple heavens, and the like. ”

"There are qualitative changes in the promotion of each major realm, for example, the initial stage of qi training is only the initial introduction of qi into the body, and whether it is suitable for qi training is tested in turn, and the foundation is built to expand the meridians and qi mansions, so as to facilitate the operation of heaven and earth vitality in the body......

Lian Chengyu gave a brief description of the general realm of the Qi Practitioner and the general situation of the previous realms. Morrowind had already put down the book in his hand, and nodded lightly after listening.

After knowing that there were a total of seven major realms and twenty small realms in Qi training, Chenfeng did not feel that his road was long, but was full of curiosity and fighting spirit. Although Lian Chengyu didn't elaborate on the next few realms, he didn't ask, it was really not necessary to know now.

"What about Martial Fu?" digesting the knowledge of the Qi cultivation realm, Morrowind then asked.

"The so-called martial arts refer to those who are unable to practice qi due to their own talents, circumstances, and other reasons, and constantly temper their bodies, meridians, and internal organs. ”

"Martial arts cultivation starts with quenching the body, and then pays attention to internal training and external training. The principle of internal refining of one breath is similar to that of a qi practitioner, the difference is that a qi practitioner uses the vitality, while the body refiner borrows the vitality and uses the vitality to polish the internal organs and acupuncture points, so as to make the internal organs such as the heart and lungs strong and have good physical endurance, etc., and the external refining is nothing more than to make the tendons thick, the bones hard, and the skin thick through different methods, with a certain striking force. The methods commonly used are thunder forging body, ice and fire forging body, water flow forging body, etc. ”

"Then if you refine your body and practice qi at the same time, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?" Chen Feng listened to it, and he was puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't help but have a question.

"That's nature, but time waits for no one. Generally speaking, if you can't complete the internal training of one breath and the outer training of the muscles and bones before the formation of the Dan, then neither of them can be cultivated again in the future. As for the reason, no one is clear yet, maybe this is the so-called impermanence of heaven. Lian Chengyu patiently explained.

"Of course, there are exceptions, and at the same time, there are many people who have achieved cultivation, but after all, there is one to rely on, and the other can only be used as an auxiliary to practice. Lian Chengyu added.

"Understood. Morrowind nodded thoughtfully.

"What about alchemy?" asked Morrowind impatiently, because he had devoted a lot of time and energy to alchemy recently, and his interest in alchemy was also increasing.

"Alchemist, the division of the realm of the alchemist is relatively much simpler, from low to high, that is, the first to the ninth order, and the number of pills that can be refined is the number of orders of the alchemist. Lian Chengyu explained lightly.

"Uh...... That's it?" Morrowind was a little unsatisfied.

"What do you say about the alchemist, unlike qi practitioners and martial artists, there are not many requirements for personal physical fitness, as long as the resources are sufficient, the perseverance is tenacious enough, and after a long time, you will be promoted after refining. Of course, other external factors, such as spiritual fire, personal comprehension, Dan furnace order, and master's strength and weakness, can also greatly affect the level of an alchemist's achievement. "Lian Chengyu can understand Chenfeng's questioning, but that's the truth, to put it bluntly, most of the high-level alchemists have boiled it out.

"What is a spiritual fire? Is that cyan flame of yours counted?" Morrowind caught a key word as he listened.

"Spiritual fire, also known as alien fire, is different from man-made flames, they are natural products, Taoist manifestations. Not to mention the extremely high temperatures, it is generally extremely difficult to capture for human use. ”

"Spiritual fire is divided into heavenly fire and earth fire. The so-called heavenly fire is the natural generation I just mentioned, just like there are trees and water in the world, they have existed since the beginning of chaos, as for the earth fire, it is bred by relying on different environments, for example, the nether ghost fire that ranks third on the earth fire list is generated from the corpses of mass graves. ”

"Spirit Fire List?" Morrowind became even more curious.

"Hey, don't make such a fuss about it, okay. It's not that there are too many people like you, and you have nothing to do for a day, so you can't get a spiritual fire ranking order. Originally, there was only the spiritual fire list, but later it was found that there seemed to be no comparison between the heavenly fire and the earth fire, so they separated. "Lian Chengyu seems to have a lot of prejudice against the guy who is making up this spiritual fire list.

"The Heavenly Fire List is fixed, but the Earth Fire List is subject to change. Because over time a new earth fire may be born. Looking at the way Chenfeng broke the casserole and asked, Lian Chengyu knew that if this was not complete, Chenfeng would definitely not stop.

"There are only five types of flames on the Heavenly Fire List. They are Heavenly Dao Light, Chaos Yi, Hongmeng Yan, Heavenly Dao Yan, and Burning World Fire. As for the Earth Fire List, I haven't been walking around outside for a long time and I don't know how much it has been updated, I only know that the karmic heart fire, the nine ghost fires, and the earth core rock fire are all very powerful. Lian Chengyu pondered for a long time and said leisurely.

"Heavenly Dao Light?" Chen Feng immediately asked rhetorically, but he remembered that not long ago, Lian Chengyu told himself that there was Heavenly Dao Light among the Nine Treasures of Heavenly Dao, why was the magic weapon still on the Heavenly Fire List?

"What a fuss! Heavenly Fire has the unfathomable power of gods and ghosts, and it can naturally be used as a means of attack, do you think that Heavenly Fire can only be used to refine medicine?"

Lian Chengyu shook his head and pulled the morning breeze out of the misunderstanding of thinking. Chenfeng shook his head slowly, indeed underestimating the power and effect of the so-called Heavenly Fire.

"Can all these spiritual fires be used by people?" Shocked, Morrowind couldn't help but be curious.

"Naturally, if it weren't for people, there wouldn't be this Rausch list. It's just that...... No matter what kind of spiritual fire, its common feature is the terrifying heat. And it is not an exaggeration to say that the human body is the softest thing in the world, so that it is soft and rigid, and its difficulty and danger are self-evident, right?" Lian Chengyu seemed to empathize, and his face was embarrassed and painful when he spoke.

"Understood. What else?" Morrowind nodded, getting to the bottom of it.

"And that's it!" Lian Chengyu spread his hands, indicating that what should be said and what should not be said has been finished.

"Isn't there still the refiner and the array mage?" Morrowind reminded.

"Oh, this one, yes, yes. How to say it. Let's talk about the alchemist first, in fact, it is similar to the alchemist, but it is 108,000 miles away. The refiner doesn't have to rely too much on his own quality, as long as he has a good teacher and enough perseverance, anyway, it's not a technical job, according to the different levels of magic weapons that can be refined, there are different realms, there are refiners, refiners, refining masters or something. As for the array mage, to be honest, I don't know either, if you have a chance, you can take a look at the library pavilion, there must be an introduction. Lian Chengyu was a little dumbfounded.

"Where's the magic weapon, Uncle Lian, do you have a magic weapon?" Chenfeng's eyes lit up as he listened to Lian Chengyu's introduction to the refiner, so much so that he ignored Lian Chengyu's embarrassment of not knowing about the mage.

The innate magic weapon is generally a natural product, such as the nine treasures of the Heavenly Dao, and there are also some that have been handed down from ancient times, and those who do not know their specific origin are also divided into the innate magic weapons. The acquired magic weapon is also refined by the refiner, and it is divided into several levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuangren, and each level seems to be divided into upper, middle and lower grades. ”

"Do refiners also use Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire to refine magic weapons?" asked Morrowind as he remembered a key point.

"Very little, almost nothing. Lian Chengyu shook his head.

"Why?" Morrowind wondered. In fact, he only saw the matter of the refiner not being able to use the spiritual fire refining weapon today, and the brief description of the alchemy said that although the spiritual fire was extremely difficult to accept, it could only be regarded as the best use of the alchemist.

"Stupid, what kind of magic weapon can withstand the forging of spiritual fire?" Lian Chengyu's words made Chenfeng puzzled, yes, if it is a spiritual treasure forged by spiritual fire, isn't it already out of the category of the acquired spiritual treasure?

Then Chenfeng fell into deep thought, constantly verifying the distinction between the realm that Lian Chengyu said and what he saw from the book. Lian Chengyu was so happy that Chenfeng didn't ask questions, but sat aside and drank wine.

"What's the matter?, no problem?" After watching the morning breeze come back to his senses, Lian Chengyu asked with a smile.

"It's gone, it's not for now. Chenfeng smiled: "It seems that there is still a long way to go, we have to hurry." ”

Listening to Chenfeng's words, and then looking at Chenfeng's clear eyes, Lian Chengyu was relieved. In fact, the distinction between realms is not a secret that cannot be said, Lian Chengyu is just worried that Chenfeng, as a beginner, will be afraid of difficulties if he knows too early that there are many realms behind, which will affect his enterprising spirit.
