Chapter 31: Making Up Your Mind (2)
Hanzhang came out and saw that there was already a table full of wine and food on the table, so she approached to help Lao Detou set up the dishes and chopsticks. Just listen to Yi Laosi's reply:
"Uncle De, you said this easily! How many of the hundreds of thousands of people in this land can live only according to their own ideas like you?
"Everyone in this world is chasing after me in cultivation, and I can't do it without stepping up my cultivation! Someone else's cultivation is high enough to stand in front of me, and just that look and attitude that relies on people can kill me! This is what I can't stand the most!"
As he spoke, several people sat around the dining table.
The old man beckoned: "Coarse tea and light rice, don't dislike it!"
He also said: "If you care about that, when will you be able to care about the size? No matter how hard you cultivate, there will always be people above you who are higher in cultivation than you! Isn't this asking for discomfort?"
"Isn't that what you said? I'm now a seventh-stage cultivator looking at other people's eight-stage cultivation, and other people's eight-stage cultivation is looking at the top nine-stage cultivation, looking at this pattern, when will I be able to stop when I will be able to stop a little!"
Yi Laosi said, took the chopsticks and looked at the bowl, but was surprised:
"Well, Uncle De, you also specially prepared spiritual rice and spiritual wine, which are more abundant than my family!"
After speaking, he poured a chopstick dish into the plate, tasted it, and said:
"It's just that you don't have a lot of money, so don't do it again in the future! Come to you, I'm willing to taste some ordinary food, which is delicious and refreshing. People can relax a little bit!"
"It's not specially for you," Lao Detou replied with a smile: "I originally thought that your family came over, and it was nothing that I watched you grow up, but I couldn't lose face in front of my niece, daughter-in-law and children, so I bought these."
"It's just an occasional thing, it doesn't matter, since you're the only one here, take the rest back with you when you leave.
"You know the situation of our two masters, they don't need these, you can take them away and save waste. ”
"This ......" Yi Laosi was stunned for a moment, smiled between bowing his head, and said:
"I can't imagine that I have been eating and taking at your house since I was a child, and today, it is easy to feel that I have a little appearance in front of people, and when I come to you, I immediately appear in my original form!
"If my daughter-in-law knows about this, she doesn't know how to bury me!
"It's not that she doesn't want to come today, it's really that the children in the family are small, and they are very noisy, she has to do her job on the one hand, take care of the children on the other, and fight for the gap in cultivation on the other, so there is not a moment of idleness! Otherwise, how can I say that I envy you this day!"
"Heh-" Lao Detou smiled and pointed at Yi Laosi, and said, "You are called Guo Qian!" By the way, you just said the second order, but there are already people who have broken through to the second order?"
"What's so easy?" Yi Laosi was eating and drinking, his demeanor was a little more relaxed than before, and he replied:
"It's just because there is no that the high-level leaders of the Lingshu Mansion are sad about this! This pressure is pressed down layer by layer, and those of us who are at the bottom are also nervous and busy. I don't even have time to practice seriously!
"Over the years, how much effort has the Spirit Art Mansion put in to promote the development of spirit art in Qidi? ”
The old man listened and said, "Actually, why fight so hard? Wouldn't it be better to make everyone's life easier?"
"Hey!" Yi Laosi shook his head and said, "How can it be so simple!" Uncle De, don't you know, outside this Qidi, the world is gorgeous, and the level of spiritual cultivation is much higher than that of Qidi, I heard that even third-order cultivators have it.
"The upper echelons of our Spiritual Mansions are afraid that if the cultivation level in the Spiritual Mansions doesn't keep up quickly, sooner or later they will be given up by the Spiritual Mansions outside!"
"What do you say?"
"Let's put it this way. The beginning of the development of spiritual art in my land was based on the resources of the outside world. This is still the case!
"Every once in a while, we have to send to the outside spirit hall to offer the proud son of heaven who can reach seven levels of cultivation within the age of twenty for their use.
"They compensate us with high-grade spiritual food according to the number of people we donate, and we rely on it to develop.
"Either it can be used directly to improve the cultivation of those with excellent qualifications, or it can be used as a seed to spread so that more spiritual food can be used by the locals!
In this way, from education, medical care, spiritual application and other aspects of the advancement, complement each other to promote the development of the current scale of spiritual arts.
"Now, the biggest hurdle that can stop the development of Qidi Spiritual Technique is the second order.
"Because the second-order is different from the first-order, the first few stages of cultivation can also be achieved by diligent cultivation and hard practice, but the second-order cultivation must be supplemented by the corresponding level of psionic resources to be cultivated.
"For example, the spiritual food that is commonly used by people in the first-order cultivation stage to improve their cultivation level only belongs to the first level, and for those who have cultivated to the ninth stage, even if they are supplemented by more first-level spiritual food cultivation, it is impossible to break through to the second-order cultivation.
"That's the limit of psionic levels.
"Then if they want to raise their cultivation to the second order, they must supplement their cultivation with the second order spiritual food to make it possible.
"However, the second-level spiritual food must be the spiritual food that can only be cultivated by second-order cultivators.
"Therefore, although my Qidi Spiritual Art Mansion also has some second-order spiritual food in the exchange of talents with the outside world, it can't be popularized like first-level spiritual food, because the amount is small, and I can't be sure if I can pile up a second-order cultivator!
"That's where the difficulty lies!
"But as long as you get through this difficulty, even if you succeed in promoting a second-order cultivator in the Qi Di, you can have a way to spontaneously grow second-order spiritual food, thus promoting the emergence of more second-order cultivators.
"In this way, even if the outside world is no longer willing to exchange talents with us one day, on the one hand, we can be self-sufficient for a considerable period of time, and we don't have to worry about not being able to obtain resources from the outside world;
"On the one hand, we can also keep the most qualified talents in our own territory and cultivate them, so as to drive the more active development of spiritual arts in the Qi Realm!
"At such a juncture, do you think I can not fight?"
When the old man heard this, he wondered:
"Hearing you say that, I'm even more suspicious, thinking that since the people of Qidi can go out, why don't they go to the outside world to develop? Wouldn't that be better for cultivation growth?"
Yi Laosi shook his head and said:
"It's easy to say, if you can easily go to the outside world, who wouldn't want to go? Aren't there two problems in front of the Qidi people?"
"What's the problem?"
"One is the question of money. You know the Yongcheng Temple, right?"
"I know. Lao Detou nodded and said, "I only went to see it yesterday." ”
