Chapter 95: Heart Refining Tower
Hearing this, Su Ming's expression moved, and he made a gesture of listening to him.
Qin Jiaoxi continued: "I guess you have heard of the specific content of my Xianxia Sect's sect assessment, right? ”
Su Ming thought for a while and said, "I've heard a little, but I don't know the specifics. ”
Qin Zhen nodded: "The sect assessment of the Xianxia Sect is once every three years, and the monks' hearts, understandings, and spiritual roots are respectively assessed. Spiritual root Tianding, I don't want to talk about this, but the mind and understanding can be sharpened, especially the mind! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming and continued: "In order to sharpen the minds of the disciples of the Dao Academy, the various Dao Academies of the Three Peaks and Five Realms of Lanzhou have adopted different methods.
And my Yaoyuan Daoist Academy uses the method of illusion sharpening. ”
"Illusion Grinding?"
This is really the first time Su Ming has heard of this.
"Well, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, this method is only available to the disciples of the Dao Academy, after all, it costs a lot of spirit stones to open the Heart Refining Tower.
If you support the disciples of the entire Taoist Academy to practice together, even the Taoist Academy will be a little unbearable. ”
Hearing this, Su Ming finally understood why Qin Zhen was so eager to find him.
It turned out to be for the Taoist Academy to cultivate him, a key seedling.
If Su Ming delayed the cultivation of the Daoist Academy because of other things, it would be worth the loss.
After pondering for a moment, Su Ming arched his hand and said, "Sect Qin, I don't know how this Heart Refining Pagoda uses the illusion realm to sharpen the monk's mind?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Zhen explained, "How do you think the monk's mind should be sharpened? ”
"Overcome difficulties, overcome pain?"
Su Ming wondered.
"That's right,"
Qin Zhen nodded, "People's Dao hearts are not strong, and their ability to bear pain is too weak in essence. Most of the suffering in this world comes from human desires.
Asking for nothing, getting and not being satisfied, will be extremely painful. ”
Qin Zhen paused and continued, "Of course, the illusion of the Heart Refining Tower will not be so complicated, and the pain that the Heart Refining Tower makes you suffer is very direct, that is, it simply makes you feel the pain!"
"Pain?"
Su Ming was slightly stunned, "The pain that Qin Jiao Xi said wouldn't mean the pain of the pure flesh, right?" ”
"It's the pain of the flesh!"
Qin Zhen looked at Su Ming with a smile, "The Heart Refining Tower divides the pain into four levels, from the initial pain of skin cutting, to the pain of broken bones, to the sharp pain of piercing the intestines, and finally, the pain of tearing the soul!" ”
Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
He could imagine that the so-called cultivation of Daoist disciples in this Heart Refining Pagoda was simply a kind of abuse.
But it is undeniable that once you can pass this perverted pain training, the monk's Dao mind will not be able to do it without firmness.
Nonsense!
A person can withstand this kind of pain, and why is he worried that his Dao heart is not strong?
But Su Ming wasn't sure if he would be able to bear the pain.
Because so far, he really hasn't been injured in a fight, although he was injured in his previous life, but he only cut a finger or something.
The most serious trauma seems to have been when he broke his head when he was in elementary school.
Therefore, in the face of the painful training of the Heart Refining Tower, he was really a little unsure.
If it was a fighting method, Su Ming was sure that he would be able to single-handedly take on hundreds of disciples of the Dao Academy.
But compared to the ability to endure pain, Su Ming didn't dare to guarantee it.
After all, he never tried.
Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Qin Zhen looked at him with angry eyes and said, "I reported your name to the Daoist Academy not long after the rest period ended."
As a result, you haven't seen anyone for a whole month, do you know how many times I've come to you? ”
"Qin teaches forgiveness of sins, and Qin teaches forgiveness of sins."
Su Ming begged for mercy again and again.
"Alright,"
Qin Zhen waved his hand, "This is the identity nameplate of your going to the Heart Refining Tower, the location of the Heart Refining Tower, there is a mark on the map of the Daoist Academy, you can see for yourself." ”
After speaking, Qin Zhen didn't seem to want to say more, turned around and left.
Su Ming hurriedly took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Qin Jiaoxi, I will send you." ”
Su Ming, who sent Qin Zhen away and returned to the courtyard of the dormitory, first put the identity nameplate into the storage bag, and then carefully looked at the map of the courtyard.
Finally, near the center of the Dao Temple, he found a place called the Heart Refining Tower.
"So far?"
From a distance, it was almost a hundred miles away from their dormitory.
Even though the area of Yaoyuan Daoyuan is huge, this distance is indeed not close.
However, the speed at which the monk hurried was always amazing, and this distance was a matter of incense to Su Ming.
Following.
Su Ming ended the cultivation of "Thick Earth Gong".
Then, he took a look at the situation on Guangyuan Island through the Hall of Immortals, and found that Wu Laoshi and the others were still cultivating wasteland on the island, so he took back his consciousness.
After thinking about it, Su Ming decided to go to the Heart Refining Hall first.
Since he decided to join the Xianxia faction, Su Ming must definitely pass the sect assessment of the Xianxia faction.
Otherwise, if you continue to practice as a casual cultivator, not to mention anything else, the follow-up cultivation will become a problem.
At this point, not only the Xianxia Sect, but also the major sects and immortal cultivation families of Daqian are almost like this, blocking the exercise information.
Even the Xianxia Sect, which was extremely enlightened in Su Ming's opinion, was blocking the cultivation exercise information.
For example, in the library of the Taoist Academy.
There are endless varieties of qi training techniques and foundation building techniques, but there is no foundation building period exercise.
In Tianshu Island City, the foundation building period exercises are also rare and pitiful.
And once it appears, it will soon be bought at a high price.
After Su Ming ransacked Zhangjiabao, he got a lot of clan treasures from the Zhang family, but the most powerful technique of the Zhang family could only be cultivated to the third layer of foundation building.
Not only was the exercise incomplete, but it also did not match Su Ming's spiritual root attributes.
Therefore, Su Ming had no intention of changing to this exercise.
It was precisely because of the blockade of the exercises by the high-level of the Immortal Cultivation Realm that Su Ming wanted to join the sect.
"It's a pity that my wordless heavenly book can only deduce spells, not exercises."
Shaking his head, Su Ming didn't think about it anymore.
As long as you join the Xianxia Sect, the problem of exercises is not difficult to solve at all.
Su Ming ran all the way, and the wind blew on his face.
Soon, a seven-story pagoda appeared in front of him.
"Here we are."
Su Ming said secretly.
Approaching the Heart Refining Tower, Su Ming saw that there were Taoist disciples in the tower constantly coming in and out.
When each disciple entered the Heart Refining Tower, they looked as if they were facing a great enemy, and the faces of the disciples who walked out of the Heart Refining Tower were all relieved.
The comparison between the two made Su Ming stunned.
He knew that the pain that this Heart Refining Tower made his disciples endure was definitely even more exaggerated than what Qin Zhen said.
Of course, Su Ming can also choose to give up.
But since he had made up his mind to join the Xianxia Sect, he would never give up.
Although the paper puppet technique allowed Su Ming to stand at the peak of the same level of cultivators, he could even fight beyond the ranks.
But in the final analysis, the paper puppet technique is still a Dao protection technique, and it can't make Su Ming become an immortal.
If you want to go further in your cultivation, you still have to rely on yourself after all.
The Dao Heart is a vital part of cultivation.
He can keep the monk free from demons during his cultivation.
"Nameplate."
Walking to the gate of the Heart Refining Tower, a foundation building monk who was in charge of guarding said expressionlessly.
Su Ming respectfully handed over the nameplate.
The Zhuji monk in charge of guarding checked the nameplate and Su Ming's identity, and after confirming that it was him, he raised his head and said, "Your first time?" ”
"Senior, disciple is the first time."
Nodding, the monk in charge of guarding the Heart Refining Tower returned the nameplate to Su Ming and pointed: "After entering the Heart Refining Tower, find a secret room with no one and hang the nameplate outside the door of the secret room. ”
"Yes."
Holding back the curiosity in his heart, Su Ming put away the nameplate and walked into the Heart Refining Tower.
Walking into the Heart Refining Tower, Su Ming didn't expect him to meet an acquaintance.
"Brother Luo!"
After Su Ming saw Luo Xiao, he hurriedly stepped forward and said hello.
"Brother Su."
Luo Xiao heard someone calling him, turned his head, and saw Su Ming, his eyes were a little surprised.
"Where did you go this month, Qin Jiaoxi is looking for you everywhere."
"It's hard to put into words."
Su Ming smiled and shook his head, "Brother Luo, have you been here many times?" ”
"Well, there have been quite a few times."
Luo Xiao said this, and the expression on his face was still a little afraid.
Obviously, he was tortured by the Heart Refining Tower.
It was the same as the expressions of those disciples Su Ming saw outside the Heart Refining Tower.
"Brother Luo, can you tell me what this Heart Refining Tower is like?"
Hearing this, Luo Xiao smiled bitterly: "Brother Su, don't ask, you'll know when you go in." ”
Painful memories, Luo Xiao obviously didn't want to talk about it.
Looked at.
Su Ming arched his hand at him and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it later." ”
Luo Xiao nodded, and the two began to look for the secret room of the Heart Refining Tower.
The Heart Refining Tower has a total of seven floors.
There are nine secret rooms on each floor, and the entire Heart Refining Tower adds up to a total of sixty-three secret rooms.
For a Yaoyuan Daoist Academy with more than 100,000 disciples, the sixty-three secret rooms for exercising the monk's Dao heart are indeed a bit few.
No wonder listening to the meaning of Qin Zhen's words, this place is very precious.
The Heart Refining Tower is basically opened for twelve hours a day.
The disciples in the secret room can go out one so that the next one can come in.
But strangely, the secret room of this Heart Refining Tower never seemed to be full.
When Su Ming and Luo Xiao walked to the sixth floor, they found that there was a free secret room.
The two of them each looked for one, hung the nameplate outside the secret room, and walked straight into the secret room.
Su Ming walked into the secret room and found that the secret room was empty, except for a futon in the middle of the secret room, there was nothing else.
Su Ming walked straight to the futon and sat down.
Immediately, Su Ming only felt that his consciousness was in chaos.
But the next moment, his consciousness was extremely clear.
Su Ming began to feel like a knife was cutting his skin.
Pain!
Soon, a painful feeling came back to Su Ming's mind.
It's just that this pain is still within the scope of Su Sen's tolerance.
But then, the pain began to intensify.
The knife began to penetrate deep into Su Ming's muscles from the skin, little by little, and then, began to cut through his muscles little by little.
Although Su Ming knew that this pain was only created by the illusion.
But the feeling of pain was really reflected in his mind.
It's just that the better thing about the Heart Refining Tower is that once a disciple can't bear the pain caused by the illusion, it will directly kick the disciple out of the illusion, so as not to hurt the disciple's Dao heart.
"It hurts! Pain! It hurts! ”
Severe pain hit Su Ming like a tsunami.
It almost overwhelmed his consciousness.
But the strange thing is that Su Ming gritted his teeth and persevered.
You must know that the pain he is suffering now is already Ling Chi's pain.
When ordinary people encounter this kind of pain, they will fall into fainting in an instant.
Although the monk's will is stronger than ordinary people, he will definitely not be able to endure Su Ming for so long when he exercises for the first time.
After resisting Ling Chi's pain, Su Ming gradually found himself accustomed to this pain.
Even his consciousness, which was about to blur, gradually became clear under the grinding of this pain.
"I see, as long as we are not crushed by the first wave of pain, people's will will become stronger and stronger!"
A different light appeared in Su Ming's eyes, "This is the meaning of sharpening the Dao heart!" ”
Su Ming held on to a whole stick of incense under Ling Chi's pain, and seemed to find that Su Ming had adapted to Ling Chi's pain.
The illusion of the Heart Refining Tower continues to change.
"Next is the pain of the saw bone, ah!!"
Su Ming let out a crazy roar.
Compared to Ling Chi's pain, the pain of the saw bone was more than ten times more painful.
"I, I. I."
Su Ming only felt that his consciousness was gradually blurred.
But in his heart, there is still a voice that keeps shouting, insist! Hold on!
Until his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
On the futon, Su Ming opened his eyes suddenly.
Then it bounced off the futon like an electric shock.
"This pain is terrifying!"
Su Ming muttered.
Ling Chi's pain has been able to be as happy as he is, and he has maintained a clear consciousness.
But the pain of the saw bone was simply unbearable by Su Ming's Dao Heart will.
Even if he keeps brainwashing himself and making himself insist! Hold on!
But it is useless, although the ability to endure pain can be exercised, but once the limit of tolerable pain is exceeded, the consciousness can only collapse.
Su Ming wiped his forehead full of cold sweat, tidied up his clothes, pushed the door and walked out of the secret room.
Outside the secret room.
Luo Xiao was already waiting here.
When he saw Su Ming, the expression on his face was quite surprised: "Brother Su, why didn't you come out until now?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Su Ming looked at Luo Xiao with a strange expression.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?"
Before Su Ming could speak, Luo Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Half an hour!" ”
After speaking, he looked left and right, and pulled Su Ming out of the Heart Refining Tower quickly.
Get out of the Heart Refining Tower.
Knowing that the other party had something to say, Su Ming looked at Luo Xiao quietly.
Sure enough, Luo Xiao said mysteriously: "Brother Su, do you know? If you insist on one more incense stick today, you will break the historical record of Yaoyuan Dao Academy! ”
Luo Xiaoyu was not shocked, and he said endlessly.
"Breaking records?"
Su Ming looked at him inexplicably.
"What do you think?"
Luo Xiao looked at Su Mingman's indifferent appearance and continued, "Brother Su, you shouldn't be able to survive the second level, right?" ”
Hearing this, Su Ming shook his head: "How is it possible, the pain of sawing bones is too terrifying, I only lasted less than a cup of tea before I became delirious and retreated from the illusion." ”
"Shhh
Luo Xiao gasped, "You actually held up a cup of tea in the second level!" ”
Su Ming was a little confused, and said with a strange face: "Is it difficult to support a cup of tea in the second level?" ”
