"Reading and practicing, cultivating the mind, this is what cultivation means in the heart. This is what the Master often taught his children.

Lu Beichen, who was sitting quietly in the Ocean Palace, looked at a little spider Zhiweb, and remembered a lot of past events and gave birth to a lot of complex emotions.

In such a quiet environment, people become calm, and there is a way.

If this road does not lead, there must be another way, and starting with the end is the last word. Since the ultimate goal is to participate in the national examination, the most important thing to do now may not be to wait for the prime minister who will appear at any time, but to try.

Try to build a foundation.

In fact, the idea didn't come out of nowhere. When he came out of the stone chamber that day, he thought about it many times, but he put this idea on hold because of many factors, such as fear, such as being anxious.

Afraid that he would face the danger of cold air again, he was anxious to find the prime minister to explain things clearly.

It was only in this moment that a hint of courage replaced all previous emotions. In such a quiet palace underground, this seemed to be the only thing he could do.

The first step in building the foundation is to set the soul, and the second step is to summon the gods. The soul is the way, the invocation of the gods is the goal, in other words, meditation is to awaken one's own god, to be precise, to know the god.

In the stone chamber that day, it took him a very short time to perceive the breath of those creatures in the stone chamber.

For him, it's a habit. Of course, he didn't know how much of a sensation it would cause if he let those priests who had been studying Taoism and building the foundation of Taoism all day in the Holy Capital know.

To fully perceive the breath of various living beings, it takes a long time, as long as half a year, as short as a month. And to be aware of the differences, it takes time to realize.

However, Lu Beichen only took half a moment.

He had never followed the steps of those classical Taoist texts and studied them one by one. It's not that he doesn't want to learn, it's not that he can't accept the complicated texts of the Taoist scriptures, it's because of the Master.

During his countless years at the Academy, he had countless opportunities to secretly try to build a foundation again, but he never did it again.

Although he was deeply impressed by the cold taste back then, a child's curiosity will always transcend this fear, so how can he not continue to try?

The most important reason is because of the Master.

The Master never let him touch too many books of this type, but instead let him read all kinds of stories that happened on the path of cultivation. As for why, Lu Beichen never asked, and the master never explained.

Of course, Lu Beichen felt that he couldn't build a foundation early on, so he naturally couldn't be interested in those cultivation practice books, let alone study and study them one by one like other children.

But regarding the cultivation steps of foundation building, he naturally still knew those four important words, and he knew that he had lost on Ning Yuan's side.

As for soul fixing and summoning the gods, it may have been completed a long time ago.

But maybe not, because he doesn't understand the specific feeling of these two steps.

For many years, he would meditate for many moments when he was upset, until his mind was at peace. Over time, he began to be able to perceive the unique aura of grass and trees, followed by the heaven and earth, and the living creatures around him.

I don't know when he found that living beings in the world are like a hundred flowers in the world gathering in one world, because they exude different smells.

The scents that emanate from living beings are each unique, like the result of an intricate mix of scent factors.

In the foundation science, if this feeling can be generated, the consciousness of God has already been aroused.

"In that case, is it possible to directly enter the Ning Yuan First Ring?" Lu Beichen guessed.

Thinking about this, he was a little excited. If you can really go directly to the third step of foundation building, Ning Yuan, will you be able to save some time?

He always knew that on the road to building a foundation, the hurdle that he had never been able to overcome was the control of his own breath.

He was born with complex meridians, which made his breath always more chaotic than ordinary people, and the cold qi that lingered in the dantian made this level even more difficult.

If the breath can't function normally, if you can't gather the qi in the dantian, you can't condense the yuan. If you can't condense the yuan, then you naturally can't attract the aura of heaven and earth to irrigate the yuan of the dantian.

However, this is in the past.

On the day of the stone chamber, he seemed to have crossed this hurdle. The divine stone bloomed, and it seemed to play a role of traction or notification, making the breath in the body run in one direction.

He speculated whether it was something called traction in the divine stone, or if the dantian had been summoned by something to give instructions to his body.

But whatever the speculation, the result is the same - the breath is unimpeded.

Every trace of breath from the body, along the meridians in the flesh and blood, arrived at the dantian smoothly and orderly, and skillfully avoided the cold qi next to the dantian, and there was no obstacle.

In fact, there are many people in the world who have special meridians and have successfully embarked on the path of cultivation through certain special methods. These special methods, even if they are not found in the orthodox Taoist scriptures, will definitely not be missing in some partial excerpts.

It's just that, no matter which one it is, the cold air hovering around the dantian determines that he can't mess around.

But that day, he used the most direct and simple method, and then put his hand on the divine stone around his neck, and he easily completed this step.

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't believe that the thousands of methods that had been proven successful and included in the collection of the Classic Dao Collections had no effect on him, could it be that the hidden power of the Divine Stone was effective for him?

But one way or another, it's true.

Now that he had a good memory, he made a decision - starting directly from Ning Yuan and entering the spiritual introduction step as soon as possible, maybe he could really complete the foundation building and start the path of cultivation.

"In front of the umbilicus and waist, the front seven and the back three, and the middle of the two kidneys, it is the dantian air pocket, and you must concentrate on cultivating here. ”

Sit cross-legged and close your eyes.

As if this action had been practiced many times, Lu Beichen actually sat down subconsciously and closed his eyes. If people see him so skillfully in the flow of movements, they will definitely think that he is a little Taoist who has been cultivating for many years.

The consciousness of God has been awakened, so he skips the first two steps and directly proceeds to condense the element. This is a hurdle that he has never been able to overcome, and if he has passed it today, it will be a different landscape;

He didn't seem to have thought about it.

With the ability to remember, Lu Beichen recalled the contents of the Taoist collection that he had casually read in the academy back then. Although some of the memories have been a little blurry, they still do not affect the words that have existed for a long time and are still deeply engraved in his mind.

He remembers it very clearly, and once the vague memory is dug up, it becomes clear.

Now, he's a little surprised.

He was meditating, preparing for Ning Yuan.

A few years ago, in this link of condensing vitality, his thoughts were like a tide, chaotic like a beast, so it affected the operation of the breath, and only then did it trigger the cold qi around the dantian, causing the cold qi to attack his heart.

Today, however, it seems to feel a little different.

Perhaps, on the day of the stone chamber, I seemed to have a different feeling.

In the silence of the night, he tried, tried, and waited.

I don't know if it's because of the airtight walls, or because of his extreme concentration, the sound of rain outside didn't bother him in the slightest.

As time passed, Lu Beichen's thoughts suddenly became complicated.

But it is an orderly thought, like a leaf, some young leaves are born, others become fallen leaves, fall and disappear.

Those leaves carry, some are feelings, some are feelings, and some are thoughts.

There are even some memories of dreams.

Those specious dreams, those dreams that accompanied him for many nights.

In the vast sea, he stood on a plain, the sun seemed to shine forever, the stars seemed to be forever bright, the great ship seemed to never stop, everything seemed to be close at hand, but far away.

What is that...... What collapsed?

What is that...... Why is the whole sea going upside down?

Suddenly, this dream, which had been quiet and stable, became a little turbulent. The sea that surrounded the Plains Continent suddenly rolled up, and people couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

That wheel gets blurred.

That galaxy is crumbling.

The surroundings suddenly became unusually dark.

The continent under his feet was shaking, and then not far away, a huge crack appeared!

Lu Beichen's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was a little nervous.

But soon, those darkness filled the mind, and the spiritual world was restored to peace.

The way the spirit comes out of the dream and returns to the real world is through this darkness. Maybe it's because he's been through so much in the past years that he's been used to it and even remembers it, so he seems very calm tonight.

Is this because in the stone chamber, I have already tried the taste of luck and success, so I am so calm?

The answer is unknown, but the test is still ongoing.

This moment he had come out of the dream, and the next, he seemed to have stepped into another scene.

Lu Beichen frowned, as if he had seen something.

That's something he's never seen before.
