Half an hour later, Li Jiu arrived, and the people here were Jiang Ye, Lonely, Fang Hua, Chen Ming, Wang Hai, and the tall man named Wu Guang.

"Do you know how a cultivator is different from a mortal?" Li Jiu asked.

"Able to fly to the sky, have vast magical powers, and can pick up stars with your hands?" The crowd asked in confusion.

"A cultivator can use the qi in his body, the spirit is hidden in the qi, and the qi is hidden in the form, and if he can channel the qi in the body, he has stepped into the path of cultivation." Li Jiu talked eloquently, "Beginners must be mindful and keep the realm. There are three types of righteous path practice: qi, bait, and room. The realm of sword cultivation is divided into six realms, and the first three realms are the red dust realm, the Zen realm, and the fluttering realm. If you want to set foot in the first realm, you must draw qi into the body, resonate with the sword, and detach your mind. ”

"Then what is the realm of preserving gods and keeping oneness?" Jiang Ye asked.

"To keep oneness is to keep the mind and body tranquil, to keep the mind in mind, and it means that the cultivator puts his mind somewhere in the body or somewhere outside the body when he is in meditation."

"How can it cause induction?" Lonely asked again.

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Every time the sky dawns, the purple qi comes from the east, and the qi of heaven and earth is the purest and fullest. Cultivators should sit cross-legged in the place of Lingxiu, spit, supplemented with elixir, drink the dew of magnolia in the morning, eat the autumn chrysanthemum in the evening, and never touch ordinary things again. It takes about 10 days to induce air into the body. However, people are different, and the speed of cultivation should be determined by aptitude. ”

"How do you set foot in the Red Dust Realm?" Jiang Ye asked again.

"The so-called red dust realm refers to the ability of cultivators to abandon worldly distractions, have no distractions, and detach their minds. And with a sword in his heart, drawing a sword like nature, holding a sword like a rock, and drawing a sword like flowing water, he has reached the first realm of sword cultivation. ”

"What about the second realm?" Chen Ming asked.

"The Zen Realm and the Fluttering Realm are still too far away from you, and I will elaborate on them for you in the future." Li Jiu replied. He taught everyone to sit cross-legged, meditate, hold the yuan and keep one, store the spirit into the inside, and draw qi into the body.

In the book "Introduction to Cultivation", it talks about how the meridians practice qi. Li Jiu used his true qi to dredge the meridians for everyone, hoping that everyone would come to their senses, but Jiang Ye could not get the essentials.

"To introduce qi into the body, you must comprehend it when the treasure mirror is first rising, so that your own qi is pure enough, and the path of cultivation will go further. By exhaling, we can strengthen our own qi. And this qi is called the innate Yiqi, and the innate Yiqi is formless and substantial, indescribable and incomprehensible. Li Jiu explained to everyone.

About half an hour later, Li Jiu instructed everyone: "Now that the vitality is declining, it is not appropriate to practice the method of inducing qi into the body.

Everyone sat cross-legged for another half an hour, during which Wang Hai, Fanghua, and Wu Guang all got up to rest, while Jiang Ye and Lonely never got up.

When Li Jiu ordered everyone to leave, only Jiang Ye was sitting cross-legged, like an old monk in a fixed place.

Li Jiu glanced at it and sighed unconsciously: "On the first day, I was able to comprehend the realm of holding the yuan and guarding one, and it was the first time I saw it."

He called Jiang Ye up, and Jiang Ye asked, "Master Li, I can't comprehend the realm of the gods, how can I put my mind somewhere in my body?"

"That's it." Li Jiudao, "It's the first time I've seen someone as smart as you." Cultivation is more important than perseverance, not speed, go back and rest for a while, keep your spirit full, and talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Disciple understood." Jiang Ye had no choice but to give up, but then questioned: "The immortal master just said that beginners must first learn to keep one and store the realm of gods before they can induce qi into the body, why do they learn the method of inducing qi into the body on the first day?"

"As a matter of common sense, this is how a beginner practitioner should be." Li Jiudao, "But there are some people who have been favored by heaven and earth, and the innate Qi in their bodies has been very strong since they were born, and the introduction of qi into the body is like breathing for them, just like you, you can comprehend the realm of holding the yuan and keeping one on the first day." Shouyi, the realm of the gods is just to enable the monks to concentrate, and some people do not need to comprehend this technique. ”

"I see." Jiang Ye sighed.

Li Jiu asked everyone to go back to the cave to rest, and ordered the servant boy to send some spiritual fruits, elixir and jade dew, and told everyone that they could only eat these things before inducing qi into their bodies. Jiang Ye meditated in the mansion, trying his best to control his mind somewhere, but it was difficult to influence it.

At the right moment, everyone came to the side of the stream on the order of Li Jiu, and the cliff that was hundreds of zhang high was called Wujian Cliff. About a dozen people swung their swords here or sat on the cliff face, or pondered the sword marks on the cliff face.

Li Jiu warned everyone to tie a horse step for an hour every day in order to stabilize the plate, and then supplemented by swinging the sword, in order to be able to make the sword fast and powerful, and lay a good foundation for sword cultivation.

"The zama step should be feet slightly wider than shoulders, in a half-squat position, and as stable as a stake. Every day for an hour, it can strengthen the muscles and replenish qi and enhance the body. On the Wujian Cliff are the sword marks left by all kinds of famous swordsmen, if you can understand it, it will be convenient for you to benefit a lot. Li Jiu said to everyone.

Jiang Ye looked at the cliff, and the sword marks were either as thick as a zhang, or as thin as silver wire, or as straight as a bowstring, or as entangled as spider silk. There are tens of thousands of dense roads on the cliff, and all of them are very different.

Facing the stream, the crowd slumped their shoulders slightly, squatted on their knees, and held maple swords. Because it was the first day, Li Jiu ordered everyone to practice for only half an hour and then go back. Everyone only felt that their bodies were sore and difficult to get up, so Li Jiu led everyone to a mountain spring to take a medicinal bath, which was surrounded by stones, and many spices and herbs were added to the water. Jiang Ye didn't want to be with Lonely and Wang Hai, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only do things hastily. Chen Ming asked him because he was a little curious about the cold relationship between Jiang Ye and Lonely, and he was beaten by him.

After soaking in the mountain spring, everyone felt that the soreness in their bodies disappeared, and they all sighed that this spring had such a miraculous effect.

Everyone was still resting in the Huidong Mansion, while Jiang Ye continued to come to Wujian Cliff to practice, learning from his senior brothers, and often watching behind him. At the beginning of the unitary period, everyone stopped practicing, and Zheng Xu saw that he was sweating a lot again, so he took him to soak in the mountain spring again. It's just that this time the medicinal power is a bit heavy, and Jiang Ye feels hot and unbearable after staying in a cup of tea, but he also feels refreshed and invigorated.

At the third moment of Youzheng, it was Li Jiu, Zheng Xu and his disciples, a total of twenty-one people sat here and discussed, everyone sat on the futon, raised their doubts about practice, Li Jiu, Zheng Xu answered them one by one.

The surrounding cliffs are inlaid with spars that shimmer dimly and faintly, everyone sits upright on the ground, there is a cool breeze in the forest, familiar friends talk and laugh and talk, wear white and flawless Taoist clothes, and there are teachers to teach them to solve their doubts. The friendship between teachers and students seems to be harmonious and friendly, Jiang Ye feels that this place is really harmonious, but he doesn't seem to be able to fit in.

He wanted to fit in, but he'd been through a lot, and his mind was resisting everything here. If he was like them, then he wouldn't be Jiang Ye.
