Chapter 41: The Realm and the Meaning of Jindan
"To explain the difference between each realm, you must first understand how each realm is divided."
An Wenjian thought for a moment and said, "For example, refining qi is basically absorbing spiritual energy, condensing spiritual power, and filling the twelve canons in the body. Then it's time to build the foundation. When the spiritual power in your body, with the following dantian as the core, connects the twelve canons, and forms a complete cycle, it means that you have successfully built the foundation. ”
"The beginning of the cycle of spiritual power is equal to building a foundation? Isn't it too simple? ”
An Xiaofu was a little incredulous: "Don't you need anything else to assist?" For example, pills and the like. ”
In the cultivation system that An Xiaofu knew, if a monk wanted to break through from the "Casting Mortal Realm" to the "Breaking Mortal Realm", he not only needed the monk's own penance, but also needed the assistance of an elixir called "Breaking the Mortal Pill".
"No, you don't."
An Wenjian thought for a moment and said, "But there is indeed the kind of elixir you said, which assists in breakthroughs." In the early days, monks who used this cultivation system would refine and take an elixir called 'Zhuji Dan' to speed up the formation of spiritual power in their bodies and ensure that they built their foundation smoothly. Later, it was discovered that no matter how good the Tsukidan was, there were side effects, and with the continuous improvement of the cultivation method, the foundation building became easier and simpler, and the Tsukidan was gradually eliminated. ”
An Xiaofu was very interested in the so-called "side effects", but she saw that An Wenjian had no intention of elaborating, so she just nodded in agreement: "I see." ”
"After building the foundation, thanks to the circulation of spiritual power in the body, even if we don't take the initiative to cultivate, the body will passively absorb the spiritual energy and condense the spiritual power, but the efficiency is much lower than our active cultivation."
An Wenjian continued: "At this time, we want to condense the golden pill and break through to the next realm, and when we practice, we will not only simply increase the 'quantity' of spiritual power in our body as we did before building the foundation, but also find ways to improve the 'quality' of spiritual power in our body. ”
"The quality of spiritual power?"
An Xiaofu didn't quite understand: "Is it the purity of spiritual power, or something else?" ”
"Purity, does it work?"
An Wenjian asked rhetorically: "If you have tried to purify the spiritual power in your body, you will find that no matter how hard you try, there will always be some 'impurities' in the spiritual power. Besides, even if the spiritual power in the body is extremely pure, what is the effect? ”
"Still, yes."
An Xiaofu weakly retorted: "For example, when casting a spell with the corresponding attribute, the purer the spiritual power, the better the effect." ”
"But it also becomes more difficult to control."
An Wenjian immediately pointed out the shortcomings: "Do you know why? ”
An Xiaofu shook her head silently.
"Because those impurities that are removed from the spiritual power are the 'attributes' that belong to each monk's own unique 'attributes'."
An Wenjian said the cultivation theory that existed in his memory: "In the process of absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world and condensing the spiritual power, the unique attributes of each monk will 'pollute' the spiritual energy and obtain the 'impurity spiritual power' that is easier to control by oneself. ”
An Xiaofu heard of this theory for the first time, but combined with her practical practice experience, it is not difficult to find that many phenomena prove that the theory is correct from the side.
An Xiaofu nodded in understanding, and continued to ask: "But how to improve the quality of spiritual power, and what is the connection with condensing the golden pill?" ”
"It is said to improve the quality of spiritual power, but in fact, it is to increase the impurities in spiritual power, that is, to promote the integration of spiritual power into more unique attributes of the monks themselves by repeatedly circulating spiritual power in the body."
An Wenjian combined his own cultivation situation and imparted his experience: "When the spiritual power carrying its own attributes is condensed in the lower dantian and reaches a certain threshold, there will be a phenomenon of 'knotting' - the attribute spiritual power spontaneously condenses to form a golden pill, and the monk will also reach the realm of golden pills." ”
"By the way, although the golden pill has the word 'Dan' in it, each monk's golden pill is a form that reflects the monk's own unique attributes.
"For example, my Jindan looks like this-"
An Wen saw a projection effect technique that projected a seemingly spherical mass in the air, but if you look closely, you will find that this "ball" is an illusion caused by countless small cubes rotating at high speed within the spherical range.
"How is it scattered?"
An Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, and pointed to the projection in An Wenjian's hand: "This can also be regarded as 'Dan'?" ”
"Jiedan is just a customary name, and it does not mean that 'Jindan' must be whole."
An Wenjian dispersed the projection in his hand: "I'm not bad, at least I can see it, and if I don't look carefully, it's still a standard spherical shape." ”
"And the Jindan that you can't see?"
An Xiaofu expressed curiosity: "What does that have to look like?" ”
"For example, if a golden pill made of a cloud of wind, you can't see anything."
An Wenjian gave a simple example: "But there are not many of that kind of golden pills, and most of them can still be seen." ”
"Wind? That's really invisible. ”
An Xiaofu pondered for a while and asked, "I heard, you just said that the Jindan is a form that reflects the unique attributes of the monk himself, what attributes does your Jindan form reflect?" ”
"It's 'parsing.'"
An Wenjian couldn't understand it at first, but he still determined it with the help of his analytical ability: "To put it simply, it is the 'reception' and 'calculation' of information." ”
"Reception and calculation of information?"
An Xiaofu tilted her head and pinched her chin: "It sounds more like an ability or talent, why is it an attribute?" ”
"I don't know. After all, this is just a theory, and it will be accepted by more people if it can explain more problems at this stage. If a more perfect theory is discovered in the future, it will be replaced immediately. ”
An Wen shrugged his shoulders when he saw it, and then smiled: "Back to the original topic, why is it that after having the golden pill, the monk has grown a lot in all aspects - because the golden pill is a collection of the monk's own unique attributes, with the golden pill, the monk's control of his own spiritual power, as well as the interference effect of the surrounding spiritual energy, will be greatly improved." In fact, it is the growth of all aspects. ”
An Xiaofu finally didn't continue to ask questions, and An Wenjian began to use his sleeve to fill his sleeve with black potatoes, green rice, fruits, and herbs.
After five minutes, all the crops were packed, and the ground was leveled with the Soil Walk, and then the Wood Walk was used to speed up the growth of the surrounding vegetation.
After a few more minutes, the surrounding fields disappeared and the bald ground was replanted.
"That's it."
An Wenjian took An Xiaofu's hand: "Let's go." ”
"Hmm."
An Xiaofu was much calmer than when she held hands for the first time: "I heard that you have not thought about where to go?" ”
"All the way north, over the mountains."
An Wen looked to the north and said, "As for where to build a house, wait until the place, and then decide according to the terrain." ”
"From here to the north... Isn't there the lowest concentration of aura over there? ”
After experiencing a danger, An Xiaofu hopes to improve her cultivation as soon as possible: "I feel that it is very unfavorable for our cultivation. ”
"In the direction of strong aura, there will only be more and more monks, and the danger will further increase. To be on the safe side, let's find a place where we don't have a lot of aura. ”
An Wen saw the explanation, and comforted by the way: "Don't worry about cultivation, I will arrange the Spirit Gathering Array as soon as possible." ”
"Although there will be more and more monks, there will also be more opportunities."
An Xiaofu remembered her past experience and said: "Between life and death, improvement is often the fastest. ”
"Just like you, still have a chance, and still fight to the death? It would be nice not to be killed at that time. ”
An Wenjian shook his head: "I want to live so I work hard to cultivate." If you reckless your life for the sake of rapid ascension and run to fight other monks to the death, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? ”
