Book 1 Mortal Journey Chapter 3 Cultivating the True Path
"The fairyland is unpredictable, and the road ahead is bleak. Fortunately, there are high-ranking predecessors who have walked out of a feasible path.
In our realm, the realm of cultivation is divided into five realms: Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, and Shenshen, and every breakthrough is a great transformation. ”
"Wow" Chu Ge blinked excitedly
"Master is so powerful, has he already turned into a god?"
"Ahem"
The old face of the Fazhu Daoist turned red: "As a teacher, he is only refining qi at the seventh level." ”
"Huh? That's low. Chu Ge scratched his head and began to wonder if he had found a cheap master.
"Stinky girl, do you think it's easy to practice!" The corners of Fazhu's mouth twitched in anger
"You two, don't think that having a spiritual root is amazing, the improvement of realm mana is indispensable for the right time, place and people, and behind every small layer of progress is several years of hard work.
How many monks have exhausted their entire lives and stopped at the Qi Refining Realm, if there is the support of the sect, it is better to say, it is even more difficult to cultivate a loose cultivator like us. It's this seventh layer of qi refining, and it's still for the teacher to spend half his life cultivating! ”
"Master, you just said that you are in the seventh-layer realm of qi refining, so how many layers is the qi refining divided into? In the future, is there a hierarchy of foundation building, Jindan, etc.? ”
Liu Zhao asked on the side. He is three years older than Chu Ge in the end, and his temperament is quite stable.
"Well, that's good. It is not clear that the foundation is built upwards as a teacher, but the Qi refining period can be divided into thirteen layers.
Among them, five to six and nine to ten are the two thresholds...... But it's too early to tell you that. ”
Fazhu took out a scroll out of nowhere
"This "Green Bamboo Jue" is a practice handed down by my ancestors, and it will be regarded as a successor in the future. Sit cross-legged, and I'll teach you how to cultivate. ”
"All things are born together, and they are divided into yin and yang. Heaven and earth are harmonious and all things are born, yin and yang change one after another, qi begins to be biochemical, qi disperses and is tangible, qi is spread and nurtured, and qi ends up like a ......"
The sound of Lang Lang's sermon sounded above the river, and with a gust of breeze, the boat gradually moved away towards the place where the water and the sky met......
There is no time for cultivating immortals. Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In a simple mountain cliff cave house, a woman in a plain white robe was meditating on a futon. The girl's long hair was scattered, and her eyebrows were frowned, as if she was contemplative.
If there are people with the same path, you can see that the pure aura of heaven and earth is lingering around her, gathering dantian, traveling through the veins, and filling all parts of the body under the guidance of the exercises.
But it didn't take long for these aura introduced into her body to turn into her own power as she wished, but suddenly quietly scattered.
"Alas...... It's done again. The girl sighed helplessly.
This girl is Chu Ge, who studied under the Fazhu Daoist four years ago, and now her cultivation is at the first level of Qi refining.
"Senior sister, how is it? Still doesn't work? ”
The figure of Senior Brother Liu, who entered the house together, appeared in the cave mansion.
In the past four years, Liu Zhao has also changed from a hairy boy to a rather handsome young man, and now he is a third-level cultivator of qi refining.
"No, it's still the same as before, although it has entered the body, it has only absorbed a little bit."
Chu Ge rubbed his head, stood up, and put the futon into the storage bag on his waist as soon as his mind moved.
In the past four years, except for the beginning of the journey with the master and the increase of knowledge, Chu Ge has not been lazy in the rest of the kung fu, and has used it all to cultivate. The heart is firm, but it makes Fazhu look sideways.
But for some reason, after stepping into the first layer of qi refining at an extremely fast speed, no matter how hard Chu Ge tried, the accumulation of spiritual energy in his body became extremely difficult.
The so-called refining of qi, simply put, is based on the physical body, with the practice as the guide, turning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, taking its essence and refining it for its own use.
But every time Chu Ge went to the last step, for some reason, the aura in his body dissipated by itself.
For the sake of Chu Ge's affairs, the Fazhu Dao people also worked hard, and finally came to the conclusion that Chu Ge's own spiritual roots were different, and the "Green Bamboo Jue" could not be applied.
But when Chu Ge asked for other exercises from Fazhu, he learned that his grassroots master only had this one in hand......
In desperation, she could only practice hard.
Fortunately, it will soon be the "Ningyu Meeting" once every ten years in the cultivation realm.
At this small meeting once every 10 years, monks below the foundation level will gather here to exchange ideas and exchange needs in order to go further on the path of spiritual practice.
Today's Chu Ge is no longer the ignorant peasant girl she was back then. In the master's mouth, he learned that the place where he was located was in the Dongning Domain of the Nine Regions of Dongzhou, and the Yue Kingdom was just a small country in the Ning Domain.
Now they are no longer in the Yue Kingdom, but the neighboring Liang Kingdom, preparing for the Ningyu Small Society.
"Okay, Master told you to pack up, and we'll leave." Liu Zhao walked out of the cave as he spoke.
It's said that it's cleaned up, but there's nothing to clean up......
Chu Ge was now covered with valuable things, except for the storage bag hanging from his waist, that is, the dozen or so low-grade spirit stones contained in the bag, and the futon used for cultivation was only made of a few sticks of hay that he had picked up and roughly weaved, and he didn't even have a decent magic weapon in his hand.
If you want to ask the master, he will say nonsense such as "people in cultivation do not fake foreign things" to fool himself...... Even this storage bag and spirit stone were exchanged for a few spirit grasses and a traveling merchant who happened to dig up in the mountains by chance.
It is clear that it is poor.
Chu Ge silently despised his cheap master in his heart, and walked out.
The sky outside is just right, the wind is clear, and the sun shines very comfortably.
Chu Ge took out the red paper and took a sip lightly, then took out a hairpin and put the long hair on his head lightly.
Four years have passed, and the sixteen-year-old Chu Ge is also slim, and his white robe is quite charming.
"Morning, Master."
Chu Ge bowed to his master and brother, who had been waiting for a long time, and his tone was lazy and lazy.
"It should be said that I will meet ......," the Fazhu Taoist held his forehead with one hand
"You girl, you've really been familiar with it in the past few years, and now you don't talk about etiquette at all, what kind of system has it become."
"The system is for mortals, and we cultivators are talking about being at ease, so how can we get in the way of worldly etiquette, right, Master."
Chu Ge smiled brightly, making Fazhu speechless for a while, while Liu Zhao snickered on the side.
"Well, that's it." Fazhu Daoist waved his hand
"This Ningyu small meeting is very important for us Qi refining period cultivators, and we must not be sloppy.
In addition to bringing you a long insight, if we can exchange any elixir magic weapons at the meeting, it will not be in vain that we have traveled thousands of miles to come to this Great Liang Country. For the teacher, there are six lower-grade spirit stones here, and the two of you will share ......."
"It's only three pieces, it's really picky." Chu Ge lowered his head and muttered quietly.
"Bunny, don't take it if you don't want it!" Fazhu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, picked up his own floating dust and slammed it on Chu Ge
"How did the old man accept such an unfilial apprentice as you in the first place, and if he continued like this, he was angry with you before I could reach the end of the day!"
"Yes, thank you, Master, thank you, Master"
Chu Ge took the spirit stone with a grin, and dodged the beating lightly. Liu Zhao stood aside and forced a smile and thanked him repeatedly.
"When you get to the place, don't patronize and play, see if you can change to the exercises that suit you, that's the right thing...... Don't bite those two spirit stones of yours with your teeth! Did you hear that! ”
"I heard it, I heard it!" Chu Ge silently put the spirit stone into the storage bag and covered his sore teeth with his hand. This hardness seems to be true......
After some frolicking, several people walked towards Daliang Mountain.
This Daliang Mountain is the place where this Ningyu small meeting is held, and all monks can enter with their own cultivation.
Fazhu led the two of them around the foot of the mountain and walked into an overgrown wood. A middle-aged man dressed in yellow and gray cloth looked up a few times while sitting upright.
"Fazhu Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you still cultivating like this." The middle-aged man seemed to know Fazhu, so he laughed a few words.
Senior Huang said with a smile, how can this cultivation be so easy. But I see that you are as angry as a mountain, and I am afraid that it is also one step away from the foundation building period. Fazhu smiled bitterly and complimented.
"Hahaha, I was also lucky to get a few opportunities, I just reached the consummation of qi refining a few days ago"
This senior Huang thinks it is quite a compliment to Fazhu, "The two little friends in the back are ......"
"These are the two disciples with spiritual roots that Poor Dao received when he traveled to the mortal world. Zhao'er, Ge'er, come and meet Senior Huang. ”
"The younger generation has seen the Huang senior."
"Haha, yes, yes." The Huang senior's gaze swept over the two.
"The two little friends cultivated so much at a young age, and they were born so handsome, don't you feel a pity to follow your master? It's better to come to our Chongyun Sect, and I can still recommend one or two. ”
"Senior Huang, don't make fun of poor Dao......" Fazhu smiled bitterly.
Senior Huang didn't embarrass a few people when he heard this, took out a token from the storage bag and threw it into the air, only to see a fluctuation in the air, tearing a crack in the flat ground. Fazhu arched his hand again and walked in with the two of them.
"Master, didn't you say that this Ningyu Small Sect is a spontaneously organized gathering of scattered cultivators during the Qi Refining Period, and this Chongyun Sect is ......?"
"It was indeed formed by some loose cultivators at the beginning, but in recent decades, with the increase in the number of people, some big sects have also stepped in and divided some oil and water."
Fazhu turned around and explained to Liu Zhao, then looked at the silent Chu Ge, wondering if his eccentric apprentice really wanted to go to Chongyun Sect
"That's not a bad thing. There will inevitably be conflicts when there are too many people, and having the presiding officer behind the first sect of the Liang Kingdom can also reassure everyone. ”
With a fluctuation, the eyes suddenly opened up.
I don't know what kind of formation is laid at the foot of this mountain, and this gate has its own world.
The woods have long since disappeared, replaced by a wide square, in the center of which stands a newly renovated two-storey building, around which many monks set up stalls, and the guests are bustling with customers, bargaining and selling are endless, and it is a lively scene.
"Wow" Although Chu Ge has been practicing for four years this year, it is the first time he has met so many monks together. Before Fazhu could say a few words, she ran out of the smoke.
"Zhao'er, you have a steady temperament, go follow your junior sister, don't cause anything." Fazhu was also helpless with his little apprentice
"As a teacher, I also have to find some materials for alchemy, and we will meet under the tower in half a day."
"Yes, Master." Liu Zhao promised.
But after walking a few steps, I couldn't help scratching my head and smiling bitterly, where was the shadow of my little sister in front of me.
