What is the Qi Refining Realm?

From memory, I know that the Qi Refining Realm is the first realm at the beginning of the cultivation path.

The Qi Refining Realm can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, enter the body and turn into Yuan Li, and the longevity can reach more than 100 years old. When you arrive at the Qi Refining Realm, the dantian is in the form of gas, and you can initially master the use of aura techniques, and you already have divine sense. Although it can't be cleared, the body has been greatly improved compared to before.

Reaching the Qi Refining Realm means that you have entered the threshold of cultivation. With the combing of the memory fragments of his predecessor, Chen Wenqing was not ecstatic, but frowned, and his young and immature face became solemn. Because, from the fragments of memory, he found the clues of the death of his predecessor.

"Sure enough, the former body died strangely. Someone is really trying to hurt me! ”

Chen Wenqing's expression was solemn, and his eyes were fixed. He slowly sorted out the fragments of the original body's memories clearly, and the little Taoist's past experience was revealed.

The little Taoist priest's surname is Wang, but it is unknown what his full name is. I only remember that when I was ten years old, Wangjiazhuang unfortunately encountered a catastrophe, and the Yin soldiers crossed the border, and the chickens and dogs were not left. And the predecessor was hidden in a water tank by his parents to escape the catastrophe. Later, he was brought back to the temple by the Taoist priest of Zixia Temple who passed by and became a miscellaneous Taoist priest.

Overnight, all parents and loved ones died, which is too tragic for a 10-year-old child. So, the little Taoist priest secretly vowed in his heart that he must cultivate the Tao and avenge his parents and relatives and the entire village.

The little Taoist priest was full of hatred in his heart, and he was also silent on weekdays, only burying his head in hard labor, and not communicating with other miscellaneous servants, and even he did not live in the miscellaneous service hall but lived alone in the grass house in the back mountain.

As a handyman, it took more than three years to save two taels of silver. Later, thanks to the mercy of the miscellaneous servant steward, he spent these two taels of silver to buy a copy of the Zixia Guan Foundation "Qi Refining Technique" from the steward. The little Taoist priest relied on his perseverance and hard work, and he really succeeded in refining his qi.

The little Taoist priest who succeeded in refining qi was originally full of expectations, hoping to participate in tomorrow's outer gate assessment. He believed that as long as he passed the outer gate assessment, he could enter the Zixia Temple and truly begin his cultivation. Then, there is hope for slaying demons and avenging parents and relatives!

It's a pity that the little Taoist priest's wishes are very good, but the truth is very cruel.

As the little Taoist priest cultivated, he found that the more he cultivated this "Qi Refining Technique", the more difficult it became to understand. In the process of cultivation, he also went mad many times, and his body deteriorated day by day, getting worse and worse. The little Taoist priest never suspected that there was a problem with this "Qi Refining Technique" itself, but felt that it was because he was not qualified enough and did not work hard enough. Finally, yesterday, the little Taoist priest forcibly "practiced qi", and his last life was whimpered, and his life returned to Huangquan, and Chen Wenqing was able to cross over.

Chen Wenqing finished reading the memories of the little Taoist priest in a flash, and felt unfair for it, but he was also secretly vigilant. For he remembered the two voices that had sounded in his ears when he had just crossed over, one of which was surely the steward of the handyman; It is still unclear who the other unfamiliar voice is.

Although Chen Wenqing didn't understand how valuable Zixiaguan's "Qi Refining Technique" was, the little Taoist priest could buy it from the steward for two taels of silver, and there were unknown calculations in this alone. Not to mention the conversation between the two was heard when they crossed.

It is clear that the death of the little Taoist priest was a conspiracy. And what exactly the purpose of the conspiracy is now also confusing. Now, due to Chen Wenqing's crossing, the little Taoist priest did not die, and the person who conspired probably would not let him go. Thinking that tomorrow the miscellaneous steward would come over and check again, Chen Wenqing didn't feel anxious in his heart, because there was not much time left for him to prepare!

Chen Wenqing was only an archaeologist in his previous life, and he was not good at these power schemes. But he didn't expect that he would face a life-and-death crisis just after crossing over. Chen Wenqing pondered the reliance in his hands and found that except for his cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, he had nothing to rely on, and he had nothing else to rely on!

"How's that going to be?!" Chen Wenqing was silently calculating in his heart, analyzing the current situation.

"Chen Zhi, the miscellaneous steward, is to build the six-layer cultivation of the foundation realm. He was in charge of the Miscellaneous Service Hall for three years, and in the past three years, the Miscellaneous Service Hall has also been in good order, although it has not done much success, but it has not done any faults. ”

"If you go to the Discipline Hall only as a miscellaneous servant, you may be punished because you do not have any evidence or handle in your hands. Therefore, this path will never work. ”

Chen Wenqing rubbed his swollen head, thinking that there must be other ways.

Suddenly, a thought flashed, Chen Wenqing suddenly realized, and his face couldn't help but be happy.

"Since tomorrow is the outer door assessment. Then it means that as long as you pass the assessment, you can leave the miscellaneous service hall, and all problems can be solved! ”

As for Chen Zhi's conspiracy and plans, he is powerless now. Now it's just a matter of making sure it's safe and sound, and then thinking about it in the long run. ”

Now that he has made up his mind, Chen Wenqing will not delay any longer. So while the sunset had not yet completely set, he ran all the way with his memory, and rushed to the outer gate assessment and registration office when the courtyard gate was about to close.

......

"Senior brother, senior brother! Please wait, wait..."

"I... I want to sign up... I'm going to take the outer door test!"

The two outer disciples who were in charge of registering the assessment list had been busy all day and were about to pack up and end the registration. At this time, they heard a call from afar, so the two stopped their movements in surprise.

Chen Wenqing had already rushed to the table, only to see him with his hands on his tired waist, his breath was like a cow, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he said intermittently: "Senior brother... I'm really sorry, brother... There was a delay on the way, but this is my little intention to buy tea for you. ”

The disciple in charge of registration was originally a little annoyed, but when he saw some more copper coins on the desk, his attitude suddenly improved. Then he raised his head, and saw that Chen Wenqing was thin and weak, wearing a patched and worn robe, and he couldn't bear it, and understood that these copper coins on the table might not be easy to come by for the person in front of him.

So, he said: "Senior brother don't be polite, look at the junior brother dressed as a miscellaneous disciple, copper money is not easy to come by, you don't have to buy tea." ”

After speaking, the sleeves were swept away, and the copper coin returned to Chen Wenqing's hand.

Chen Wenqing weighed the copper coin in his hand and said, "Thank you two senior brothers!" Grateful, grateful! As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the two senior brothers.

"I'm Zhang Qian, and this is Yang Xu. We are responsible for the registration and assessment of the outer door, why did the junior brother come to register so late? If it's a little later, I'm afraid I'll miss the time to register, and you must know that the assessment will start tomorrow! ”

"The two senior brothers are good. Senior brother, you also know that as a miscellaneous disciple, I have a lot of trivial things on weekdays, and I just made time, but fortunately I caught up! Next, there are two senior brothers! ”

So, after Chen Wenqing told his name and age one by one, he was successfully registered. However, when registering his name, Chen Wenqing did not register the name of the little Taoist priest, but registered Chen Wenqing's name. First, the little Taoist priest in his memory does not have a complete name and surname, and secondly, Chen Wenqing, who has relived a lifetime, still wants to live his own style.

After Chen Wenqing finished registering, he thanked the two senior brothers. was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Qian.

"Senior Brother Chen, wait! As a miscellaneous disciple, it must be quite difficult to cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm. Since the junior brother has this ambition, then the senior brother will especially mention you a few words. ”

"Although the gas refining period has met the criteria for the outer door to participate in the assessment. However, those who really participate in the assessment are at least in the middle or late stage of gas refining, and there is even no lack of foundation building period. With your current realm strength, if you want to change your status as a miscellaneous disciple, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult. ”

Chen Wenqing's heart jumped when he heard this, and his heart turned sharply.

"It seems that becoming an outer disciple is not as easy as the original body imagined. Originally, I thought that as long as I succeeded in refining qi, I would be able to become an outer disciple, but I didn't expect that the qi refining realm was just the minimum threshold for participating in the assessment. ”

Chen Wenqing bowed deeply to Zhang Qian, and said, "Chen Wenqing, thank you Senior Brother Zhang for your advice!" However, as a miscellaneous disciple, I have nothing to lose. Therefore, even if I know that I am invincible, I will do my best! ”

"That's a great word! It's very good that my junior brother has this kind of heart, and it seems that I am not wrong. So, we'll wait and see tomorrow. ”

Zhang Qian was responsible for the registration of this external assessment, and a total of 642 people participated in the assessment, including Chen Wenqing. Most of the people who participated in the assessment were people from outside the Zixia Temple to sign up for the assessment, and the miscellaneous disciples in the Zixia Temple were the only ones Chen Wenqing.

Moreover, the participants in the assessment are more or less with some cultivation. Some are Confucian cultivators who have no hope of achieving great success, and they are transferred from Confucian cultivation to Taoist cultivation; Some are famous doctors and can refine pills and distinguish medicines; Some were born chivalrous and strong in martial arts; There are even some who are purely rich and rich, in order to have a long-term vision.

Chen Wenqing, nothing! It was just because there was nothing that Zhang Qiangao took a look.

By this time, the sun had completely set and twilight had fallen.

After saying goodbye to the two senior brothers, Chen Wenqing was very silent along the way. Although we must do our best, the lack of cultivation is an objective flaw.

With a heavy heart, Chen Wenqing walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and gradually disappeared into the night.
