Chapter 31: Apprenticeship

Wang Chan smiled and said, "I don't know where Yuan Ding Xiaoyou is taught?" ”

Yuan Ding was a little drunk, and said, "Mother-in-law, you may not believe my teacher." Under the teacher inherited the Shangqing faction. ”

Wang Chan and Yin Zhifei glanced at each other and were shocked: "You are the inheritor who ran out of the Shangqing faction a few days ago?" ”

Yuan Ding smiled bitterly and said, "Am I so famous now?" Have you even heard of your seclusion in a small mountain village? ”

Wang Chan said: "No matter how reclusive we are, we are in the North Ross Mountain, not far from the Shangqing faction. ”

Then Wang Chan said again: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Yuan Ding wondered, what's the pity?

Yin Zhifei saw that Yuan Ding didn't know why, so he said: "Your mother-in-law is a pity for your qualifications." Obviously, the qualifications of the Qi Refiner have cultivated the Dao Law, and this Shangqing faction is not a misguided disciple. ”

Yuan Ding was suddenly a little unhappy, and said: "The Shangqing faction will not mislead people's children, my master said that I can worship another Qi refiner as a master." ”

Wang Chan was immediately overjoyed and said, "Then are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

This sudden sentence suddenly made Yuan Ding's wine wake up, and said, "Is it so casual?" "But I think I was so casual when I first apprenticed to Lu Qingchen, but there was a reason for it at that time, what is this?

Wang Chan said: "Qi refiners don't have those red tapes, it's purely because they have nothing to do." If you worship me as a teacher, you can continue to practice the Dao of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yuan Ding didn't know why, and asked, "Mother-in-law, why me?" ”

Yin Zhifei couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "You little baby doesn't know what to do." If my wife hadn't seen your good qualifications, I was afraid that it would be wasted, and you would think she would have nothing to do. ”

Yuan Ding knew that he was a pig's nose with green onions, and he was purely pretending, so he ignored him, but said to himself: "My master said that I have some qualifications as a qi refiner. But, mother-in-law, are my qualifications really so good? ”

Yin Zhifei suddenly blew his beard and glared, but it was not easy to attack in front of Wang Chan. However, Wang Chan seemed very patient and said, "Do you know what the qualifications of a qi refiner mainly look at?" ”

Seeing Yuan Ding shaking his head, Wang Chan continued: "Look at the sea of qi, the wider the sea of qi, the better the qualifications of the qi refiner are proven. Because the sea of qi determines the realm that a qi refiner can cultivate. ”

Yuan Ding asked, "What standard does the breadth of the Qi Sea reach to be considered a Qi Refiner's qualification?" ”

Wang Chan said: "For ordinary monks, the qi sea in the qi refining period is only the size of an abbot, and with the improvement of cultivation, the qi sea will expand accordingly. However, the minimum standard for a Qi Refiner is that during the Qi Refining Period, the Qi Sea is already ten zhang in size. ”

Wang Chan continued: "You must know the situation of your own Qi Sea, presumably your Qi Sea is already more than a thousand feet in the Qi refining period. So, do you know how good your qualifications are? ”

Yuan Ding suddenly hesitated. The old monster who had lived for many years naturally knew what he was hesitating at this time, so he continued: "The reason why I said that the Qi Sea of Qi Refiners is related to the cultivation realm that can be achieved in the future, is because the Qi Sea of Qi Refiners can become a realm of its own after cultivation, the real world. ”

Wang Chan saw Yuan Ding's mouth grow incredulously, and continued to say without being shocked: "The place you are in now is not the outside world, but the world formed by my Qi Sea, because my name in the cultivation world is Xuanweizi, so this place is also called Xuanwei Cave Heaven. ”

Yuan Ding stammered: "Mother-in-law, if you turn the sea of qi into a world like you, what kind of cultivation do you need to achieve?" ”

Wang Chan pondered for a moment and said, "You need to reach the Transformation Realm Cultivation, which is almost equivalent to the Merge Period of Dan Cultivation. ”

Yin Zhifei knew that Yuan Ding was asking his wife about his cultivation, and thought to himself what kind of world this is, is it disliked by apprentices when he accepts apprentices? So he said angrily: "Little baby, my wife's current cultivation is a matter of one step away from becoming an immortal." Do you feel qualified to be your master? ”

Yuan Ding looked at Yin Zhifei and then at Wang Chan, and saw her looking at herself with a smile, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master is above, the apprentice has kowtowed to you." ”

Yuan Ding's practice was the big gift of three kneeling and nine bows, and after the salute, he poured a glass of wine for the master and Yin Zhifei each, which was considered to have completed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Wang Chan was greatly relieved, personally helped Yuan Ding up, and said: "Good disciple, since you have entered my door, as a teacher, I will tell you the rules of accepting apprentices in this door, one is not to accept the most heinous ones, the second is not to accept those who deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and the third is not to accept the demon monks." ”

Wang Chan continued: "I have a son with your Uncle Yin, named Yin Ruqing, who is your senior brother, but he inherits the mantle of your Uncle Yin. There is also a senior sister named Wang Zhao, she is a qi refiner, but at this time, both of them are practicing outside, and you will meet them in the future. ”

Yuan Ding said, "Master, is it difficult for Qi Refiners to cultivate? Since my cultivation, you are the first Qi Refiner I have ever met. ”

Wang Chan said: "In fact, all monks have the same path to cultivate, that is, to use the vitality of heaven and earth to polish themselves, and then fly to the immortal realm. The reason why qi refiners are scarce is because the requirements for qualifications are too high, and nine times out of ten in the human race they can't become qi refiners. ”

Wang Chan saw that Yuan Ding was ignorant, so she simply instilled in Yuan Ding some reasons why the cultivation methods of the monks in this realm were different.

In the earliest times, the Terrans were the weakest race, but the reason why the Terrans were able to grow gradually was because the Terrans were good at learning. The cultivation method of the Qi Refiner is improved by the human race with reference to the alien race's innate borrowing of elemental spells. However, the qualifications required by Qi Refiners were too high, and nine out of ten human races could not cultivate, so there were unwilling great wisdom people who created Dan Xiu.

At the beginning, Dan cultivation was only Wai Dan cultivation, which was a method of using natural resources to refine Wai Dan and increase one's own cultivation after taking it.

However, the natural resources are limited, and the human race multiplies and lives unlimitedly, so there are great wisdom people who have created Dan Xiu and Buddha Xiu, that is, to take the body as the furnace and the vitality as the true fire, and condense their own gold pills and relics.

Dan Xiu's requirements for qualifications are also quite high, and there are still most people who can't cultivate, so at this time, physical cultivation appears, which can be regarded as a method of entering the Tao with martial arts, and unlike Dan Xiu, physical cultivation uses itself as an elixir to cultivate.

Unlike Dan Xiu's condensation of Yuan Ying, Qi Refiner condenses Yuan Ling. Yuan Ling is regarded as the creator in his own Qi Sea world, and until the Qi Sea can be turned into reality, Yuan Ling will merge with the real body and achieve the Fa Phase.

When it comes to physical cultivation, there is no longer even a primordial infant, and the body is directly refined, so that the physical body can reach the strength that can shatter the void, and then shatter the void to become an immortal.

If you have to divide the difficulty, it is that Qi Refiners are the easiest to cultivate into immortals, and martial artists are the most difficult. Theoretically speaking, as long as the Qi Refiner connects his own world with the Immortal Realm, he can move to the Immortal Realm and become an Immortal, although the actual operation is much more difficult, and even the Tribulation has to be crossed, but it is also much better than Dan Xiu and Body Cultivation.

Yuan Ding's question was that if he still wanted to continue to cultivate the Dao method of the Shangqing Sect, then whether he would condense the Yuan Infant or manifest the Yuan Spirit in the future.

Wang Chan smiled and told him that it was enough to condense the Yuan Baby, because the Yuan Spirit can be regarded as another form of the Yuan Baby, with the same name.

Yuan Ding was relieved at this time.

Wang Chan saw that the sun was already west, so she told Yuan Ding: "Let's do these for you today, and tomorrow you go to the temple with me. The second is that you need the true spirit of the gods to inherit your Qi Refiner cultivation method. ”

Yuan Ding said curiously: "Master, didn't you teach me the cultivation method of the Qi Refiner, why do you still need to inherit it in the temple?" ”

Wang Chan said: "There is no sect for our Qi Refiners, and everything starts in the temple. As a teacher, I just led you through the door and taught you your cultivation experience. ”

Next, Wang Chan told Yuan Ding that the Qi Refiner was different from the cultivation of Dan Xiu and Physical Cultivation.

It turns out that the original source of the Qi Refiner is in the five gods, that is, the central earth god Yellow Emperor, the eastern wood god Jumang, the southern fire god Zhurong, the western golden god Beishui, and the northern sea god Yuqiang, which are also the world's original five attributes, and the later generations of qi refiners have extended the four attributes of wind, thunder, light, and darkness from the five attributes of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, but this is a later story.

It is precisely because of the attribute that there was a problem when the Qi Refiners of later generations accepted apprentices. For example, if a person is a metallic qi refiner, but he likes an apprentice with good qualifications but is a wood attribute, what should he do?

Now that there is a problem, there will be someone to solve it.

There is such a Qi Refiner who connected his own world with the temple when he was in the Transformation Realm, so that his apprentices could communicate with the gods and true spirits in the temple, test the attributes, and accept the inheritance of the Qi Refiners. Since then, all the Qi Refiners have gradually begun to accept disciples after the Transformation Realm has hooked up with the temple, and then let the apprentices go to the temple to receive the inheritance.

In this way, the embarrassing problem of having different attributes from the apprentice is completely avoided.

Moreover, this also indirectly brings an advantage, that is, it effectively avoids the problem of Qi Refiners deriving different schools due to different attributes.

Therefore, now the Qi Refiner only has a temple in his heart, and there is no concept of a sect. Again, it's a relatively loose organization.

After Wang Chan finished speaking, seeing Yuan Ding nodding, he said quite mysteriously: "There is another interesting link in the temple, and that is the gift of the gods. ”

Yuan Ding was pleasantly surprised: "Are all the gifts treasured?" ”

Wang Chan said: "Although the gifts are different, they are all treasures. ”

Yuan Ding pointed upwards with his finger and said, "If the treasures are given by the gods, are all the treasures coming from above?" ”

Wang Chan said: "Of course not, although the treasure is given by the gods, the treasures are still the things of this world, and they are offered to the gods by all the Qi Refiners who have achieved cultivation." ”

Yuan Ding nodded and said, "That's it." Then he asked Wang Chan, "Master, what treasure is the best?" ”

Wang Chan said: "It's the best, it varies from person to person." But if it were you now, I would like the gods to give you a cave. ”

Yuan Ding was stunned: "Dongtian? Didn't you cultivate it yourself? Can this also be given? ”

Wang Chan said: "Naturally. You know that the cave heaven was cultivated by the hard work of the qi refiner, but you know that if the qi refiner dies, the cave heaven formed by the sea of qi will not collapse with the death of the qi refiner. ”

After Wang Chan paused, she said, "Of course, if the Qi Refiner insists on destroying it before he dies, there is no way. However, most Qi Refiners choose to worship their Cave Heaven to the gods before they die. And these caves have also become ownerless things, which can be given to Qi refiners who are just starting out. ”

Yuan Ding said: "Master, can these caves still live like yours?" ”

Wang Chan said: "Of course you can." Dongtian was mediocre in the eyes of Qi Refiners, but in the eyes of other cultivators, it was like an artifact, and it could be regarded as one of the foundations of a sect. ”

When Yuan Ding heard this, he immediately thought in his heart, is there a sect background? Then my Shangqing faction just lacks this thing. At the same time, my heart began to look forward to the trip to the temple tomorrow.
