Chapter 21: Refining the Spirit

The message from ancient times was like a bright lightning, tearing open a hole in the fog of this world, allowing people to see clearly the true nature of some clouds and fog, and also penetrating into a glimmer of light from the outside world. Qi Xiaoyang's heart was surging and he couldn't help himself, as a member of the Spirit Breeder in Mo Lanzi's mouth, he only now understood how small he was. The powerful prehistoric civilization was wiped out in a cross-border war, and that was the scientific and technological power that had developed for tens of thousands of years! And the civilization of the generation of human beings on the earth has only been in the early stages for thousands of years, and it can be said that it is still in the initial stage, and the situation of other living planets is still unknown.

From a humble background, a sixteen-year-old child who hasn't even finished high school, if it weren't for the great changes in his family that made his mind mature early, he should still be at the age of being spoiled in front of his parents; Qi Xiaoyang doesn't have any lofty ambitions, and he doesn't have the **** The noble sentiment of struggling for life, his biggest ideal at present is to find a life path that suits him, to ensure that he and his family can live with dignity in the future, in order to achieve this goal, he knows that he must rely on himself to become strong, this strength can be economic, it can be a certain ability, or other things that can give him the right to speak in this society, and the strength of his own force is not his pursuit, like martial arts, martial arts in fantasy novels, superpowers* It's okay to be lewd, but if you really have this kind of ability, I am afraid that you will not tolerate the vested interests in this world, unless you are in the same stream with them, and the premise of being in the same stream is that people have to submit to your ability, to put it bluntly -- the redistribution of power and interests is a process of struggle and compromise, and violence is inevitable! Just like the struggle with Tu Wanlin and Fang Jinliang half a year ago, although wisdom is the decisive factor, it is still through violent and bloody means to win the other party's compromise. That is only the weakest level of violence and blood, and as the rights and interests fought for increase, so does one's own ability, and the degree of bloodiness is self-evident. The so-called chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and if you want to be strong in this way to achieve your life goals, you will inevitably be able to avoid the result of "breaking the ban", and Qi Xiaoyang can still afford to deal with Tu Wanlin's kind of petty ban, but if he escalates it again, his heart trembles when he thinks about it, so he is afraid!

What is even more difficult to bear is the responsibility brought by this "Spiritual Refining Technique". Before coming into contact with this box, Qi Xiaoyang didn't even know if there was life outside the earth, the interests of the country and the clan at this level were 108,000 miles away from him, and he was forced by the environment to take on the responsibility of the family, and it was just beginning; this suddenly appeared a second universe with more than 20,000 life planets, and he had to take on the responsibility of saving it, wouldn't that become a savior? This huge gap is not 108,000 miles that can be described! Qi Xiaoyang couldn't accept it, this was too far beyond his cognition, his immature heart and weak shoulders couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of this black hole.

"Senior Mo Lanzi, I'll give you back this thing, can you find another person?!" Qi Xiaoyang shouted in his heart, at this time he really hoped that this was just a dream, and when he woke up, he was still in Jiuxiang's school, even if he memorized that nasty English word!

For a whole day, Qi Xiaoyang stayed in the hotel room, falling into a helpless panic

In fact, the root of Qi Xiaoyang's fear is ignorance and narrow-mindedness, just like putting a native who has lived inland all his life and has never even seen a lake into the vast sea, because of the huge cognitive gap, there will inevitably be a wave of fear. Qi Xiaoyang thought about it for a day, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have the heart to continue looking at that thing, so he went outside to eat something indiscriminately and went to bed early. The next day, I ran to the nearby scenic spot to wander around, and slowly calmed down in the lake and mountains. The benefits that can be brought are beginning to pop up in my mind, first of all, I will gradually have the ability to be stronger than ordinary people, although I don't know how strong it can be, but it is definitely not a problem to protect the rights and interests and dignity of myself and my family; secondly, I can do things that I didn't dare to think of before, such as getting a top student in the college entrance examination, and easily becoming a top talent in a certain aspect, etc., so that I and my parents can raise their eyebrows, which is very realistic; and that Mo Lanzi said that after practicing the "Spirit Refining Technique", you can get a longer life, and I don't know how long? There are also ways to explore unknown worlds that you didn't dare to imagine before, and

One will be the temptation of great benefits, and the other will be the fear of the unknown, Qi Xiaoyang tossed himself in the contradiction for three days, and finally figured out a truth: what has happened is irrevocable, maybe it is the step he took out of the house that determined today's result, this is his own fate;

Qi Xiaoyang adjusted his mentality, calmed down and continued to study the content behind the message. It turns out that the body structure of the enlightened people and the spiritual breeders are similar, and there are two biggest differences, one is because the central material mass of the first universe is more than 100 times that of the second universe, and the material density of the living planet is generally more than 100 times larger than here, in this gravity environment, the vitality of living beings is not simply more than 100 times stronger, but multiplied in geometric progression, so that the enlightened people are born with a body and vitality that are 10,000 times stronger than the spiritual breeders; the second big difference is that nearly half of the enlightened people have innate spiritual power, and about one percent of these people can open the spiritual gate through various spiritual refining methods of cultivation and inheritance, and then obtain more powerful spiritual powerใ€‚ There are also a very small number of people who have innate spiritual power, but they are much weaker than those who open the spirit, and there is no cultivation method, so there is no possibility of opening the spirit gate.

According to Qi Xiaoyang's understanding, the so-called spiritual power is actually what we call mental power, and this power has been proven to be real by modern science. From ancient records and real life, we can find examples of mental power, such as someone being able to move a lighter object through a wall, and someone being able to ignore the gravitational pull of the earth and float themselves in the air. Most of these visions occur in monks, Taoist priests, monks, and other monks, which also shows that the power of the mind can be strengthened through meditation and meditation. The so-called spiritual gate is a barrier that exists in the right hemisphere of the brain, which limits the storage and strength of spiritual power. According to the statement on the "Spiritual Refining Technique", there are three spiritual gates, and the difference between those who open the first spiritual door and those who open the second one is a hundred times, according to this inference, the proportion of Qi Xiaoyang who can use the right brain is still pitifully small! The spiritual enlightener has a powerful right brain, but the left brain is not as good as the spiritual man, which has formed a situation in which the spiritual realm majors in spiritual power and the spiritual realm rebuilds science and technology, that is to say, if there is enough time for development, the power of science and technology may also surpass spiritual power, or at least it can form a counterbalance. Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoyang vaguely knew the reason why the Ten Thousand Souls Emperor started the war hundreds of millions of years ago.

According to the "Spiritual Refining Technique", according to the normal cultivation method, the stage from the beginning of cultivation to the opening of the first spiritual gate is called the spiritual cultivation realm, and this realm is divided into three levels, and the cultivation methods are different. The first stage of entry is called the spiritual stage, in fact, it can also be translated as the intentional stage, and the cultivation method is surprisingly similar to the meditation method of Buddhism and Taoism, that is, meditating and concentrating on the mind to feel the existence of spiritual power, until the mind is born, and the spiritual power is born, which makes Qi Xiaoyang suspect that the ancestors of our Chinese people got another breath box left on the earth in ancient times, or the Buddha Shakyamuni also realized the Tao because of the rest box.

Originally, Qi Xiaoyang did not belong to the very few people who were born with spiritual power, but the spirit key left by Mo Lanzi opened the first spiritual door at the same time, and stored the spiritual power absorbed by the rest box in various temples some time ago in the spiritual sea of his right brain, this amount is already equivalent to a normal spirit refiner's cultivation for ten years, and it would have taken more than three years to complete the spiritual level, Qi Xiaoyang was completed in three days, and as soon as his mind moved, he could feel the existence of spiritual power at any time.

Qi Xiaoyang now also knows a secret of religion, why build temples, churches and other places for people to worship, because in the process of pious worship, believers will generate spiritual power with concentrated thoughts, and they can't store it themselves, so they will stay in these places; Wishing and the like are just means of fooling people, and the real worshiped do not need these things at all.

The next second stage is called the Spirit Condensation Stage, which requires cultivators to gradually condense the spiritual power scattered in the spiritual sea until they can use their minds to compress and transform the spiritual power into any shape such as points, lines, and circles in the spiritual sea at will, and the light appears to illuminate the spiritual sea before it is considered complete. This stage still needs to be completed in meditation, the length of time depends on the willpower of each spirit refiner, the strong can practice for about two hours a day, a year can light up the spiritual sea, the weak will be mentally exhausted for a minute, and can only wander in the darkness for the rest of their lives. On the first day, Qi Xiaoyang was used to an hour in the morning and evening according to his original habit, and he didn't feel too much mental consumption, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud, it seems that his willpower belongs to a strong type of people.

The spirit condensation level is a very dangerous stage, because when the spirit refiner concentrates on the condensation of spiritual power, he will lose all perception of the outside world, unless he takes the initiative to withdraw from the state, otherwise the landslide and tsunami will not be awakened, if he suffers a serious attack at this time, there is a chance that he will cause mental insanity, which is the so-called "going mad". Qi Xiaoyang remembered the allusion of Sakyamuni's sacrifice to feed mosquitoes, and couldn't help laughing dumbly, what kind of sacrifice is it, most of it is just at this time when the spirit is refining, and it is strange to know that there are mosquito bites!

In the past few days, Cheng Chen, Tian Tian and Jiang Shilun have all called one after another, and the topic is the same, and the Spring Festival will be in a week, asking him if he will go back. Jiang Shilun flew back to Wulian the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, and he knew that Qi Xiaoyang had no one at home now, and repeatedly invited him to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with his mother. Jiang Mengyao didn't call, but sent a text message: It's winter vacation, I miss you very much! It will be my nineteenth birthday in three days, I don't know if you can go back to Jiuxiang, I hope to discuss life with you again

It's a birthday again! Qi Xiaoyang immediately remembered the hatred of attending Sun Ying's birthday party at the Kailai Hotel last time. Looking at this mobile phone, Jiang Mengyao's fluttering figure will appear in front of her, the young man's ignorant first love is subtle, Qi Xiaoyang knows that it is impossible, but he can't control himself from thinking about that pretty face. Let's go back, people gave themselves such a big gift half a year ago, and Qi Xiaoyang found a reason for himself.

Out of Wulian Airport, the cold wind in the evening made Qi Xiaoyang, who was thinly dressed, shrink his neck, and the temperature in Wulian was more than ten degrees lower than that of the southern city he had just left. hurriedly called a taxi to the city, Qi Xiaoyang bought a down jacket and put it on before coming to his mother's dormitory at the Marriott Hotel. Ruan Honglian knew that her son was coming today, so after work, she bought vegetables with Lin Xiaoxiao and prepared dinner in the communal kitchen. During this time, she was in a much better mood, thanks to her son's blessing, not to mention that it was easy to work here, and the top and bottom respected her because of Jiang Shilun's relationship, Jiang Shoukun also came to visit her once and asked her if she needed help, this treatment is completely cold and fire compared with the "relatives", so she is very satisfied with the current situation, with a grateful heart, and does the work inside and outside the work meticulously, and soon got the recognition of the top and bottom.

Qi Xiaoyang sat on the bed and watched TV, but he was thinking about whether he should buy a house nearby for his mother to live in, anyway, now he has a lot of money in his hand, and buying a house will not affect his next business plan, but he is embarrassed how to explain that he suddenly has so much money, he knows that his mother is timid and can't withstand the fright of the truth.

"Let's eat!" Lin Xiaoxiao's smile was as sweet as ever, and Ruan Honglian came over with the food and put it on the small table. In fact, her real name is Lin Xiaoxiao, and she is called Lin Xiaoxiao by everyone because of this sweet smile. "Xiaoyang, come and sit down and taste the craftsmanship of the eldest sister. โ€

The three of them happily ate while listening to Qi Xiaoyang say some interesting things about the journey, and the happy atmosphere made Qi Xiaoyang feel the feeling of home after a long absence, and his thoughts about his father also came up, at this moment he suddenly made up his mind to dispel the idea of buying a house in Wulian, and he went back to Jiuxiang first to start a business, as soon as possible to have the strength to resist Tu Wanlin, as soon as possible to take his mother home, their home, in Jiuxiang!
