Chapter XXIV
It is said that after stepping through the first layer of qi refining, you have stepped into the threshold of cultivation. In fact, the real famous sects scoffed at this statement, and the orthodox cultivation circles believed that the entire long period of Qi refining was a preparatory period for cultivation, and those who practiced should be called Qi Refiners.
Only after forming a sea of qi at the dantian and entering the foundation building can it be regarded as entering the threshold of cultivation.
Build a foundation, build a foundation, build the foundation of cultivation, and if the foundation is not built, how can we talk about practice?
This view is the basic view in the mainstream of orthodox practice. It can also be explained from another aspect: the first and second layers in the early stage of qi refining, the skills shown are not much different from the martial artists in the rivers and lakes, and when it comes to real fighting, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins, and only after reaching the third layer does it begin to gradually widen the gap.
Nine out of nine Qi refiners will be trapped in the Qi refining period all their lives, and if they can't step through this period of preparation, their longevity will also end at about 100 years old, in this case, what kind of real cultivation is it?
Only when the construction of the Qi Sea is completed, can it be regarded as entering the ranks of cultivators, and can extend the life span to about one hundred and sixty years old, and truly have the demeanor of a monk.
After the foundation is built, it is necessary to solidify the sea of qi and form a golden pill.
Then sharpen the golden pill, keep sharpening, so that the golden pill is more suitable for one's body, play a greater role, have a few more years of life, and live to be between two hundred and forty to three hundred years old.
Only those who are truly gifted, or those who are gifted by chance, can gradually develop their divine consciousness in the cultivation of sharpening the golden pill, and finally reincarnate as a primordial infant.
All subsequent practices, such as refining gods, returning to the void and even the legendary Hedao, are all practiced around the Yuan Infant, during which only the cultivation is divided into high and low, and there is no obvious difference in the realm. Therefore, the rebirth of the Yuan Infant is a watershed in becoming a powerful monk, and after this watershed, one can live to be six hundred years old.
The Zhuji Dan is a kind of elixir that helps Qi refiners build a sea of qi, and for most Qi refiners, it is the key to open the door to cultivation, and it can be said to be a lifelong dream.
It's just that Zhuji Dan is not only a rare Dan material, but also a secret that the Dan is not passed down by the sect, even if it is a family of cultivators, there are only a handful of people who can refine this Dan, and the preciousness can be seen.
"Stolen?" Zuo Gaofeng was taken aback, it was unimaginable that the Zhuji Dan that the Lu clan had worked so hard to refine in Tianmu Mountain could actually be stolen.
"Yes, it was stolen, it's true." Wei Hongqing nodded emphatically.
"How did Brother Wei know about such a secret?" Zuo Gaofeng asked.
Tan Bazhang sighed: "Brother Wei seems to have something to do with an inner disciple of the Lu clan in Tianmu Mountain, well, a female disciple." ”
Zuo Gaofeng opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.
Wei Hongqing said in a deep voice: "The one who stole the elixir was the deacon on duty in the Dan room, named Lu Zi'an. This person was originally a disciple of the outer sect of Tianmu Mountain, and he had reached the tenth layer of qi refining, because the selection of the inner disciple failed, he was resentful, and took the opportunity of guarding the Dan Fang to steal this Dan. After Lu Zi'an stole Dan, he escaped from Tianmu Mountain, such as today, Lu Zi'an's whereabouts are being tracked up and down the mountain. ”
After a pause, Wei Hongqing suddenly smiled: "Unfortunately, I just know about Lu Zi'an's whereabouts, brother." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly shortened their breath for three points.
Becoming a foundation building monk is the highest wish of all Wulong Mountain cultivators, including Liu Xiaolou, as for what Jindan, Yuanying and the like, no one dares to hope for it. Wei Hongqing suddenly told everyone today that there was a Zhuji Dan that fell into the rivers and lakes, and everyone couldn't help but have a little reverie in their hearts.
It's just that if you are really lucky enough to get this elixir, how should you divide it? And to whom?
Several people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they were silent for a while.
After being silent for a long time, Tan Bazhang suddenly said: "Sold the spirit stone!" If you can win this pill, I'm afraid that there will be hundreds of spirit stones in the hand? ”
Xishan Jushi, Zuo Gaofeng, and Liu Xiaolou all shook their heads slowly.
Zuo Gaofeng said: "This matter should be considered in the long run, after all, it is a tenth-layer ...... of qi refining."
Xishan Jushi said: "Hundreds? Brother Tan, do you know which market has sold Tsukidan? What price? Layman, Brother Liu Xian, who of you knows? ”
Several of them quickly turned their brains and thought carefully.
Wei Hongqing also asked: "Who can answer the layman's question?" Have you ever heard of a market that sells Tsukidan? ”
Everyone thought about it for a long time, but no one could answer, and they had never heard of it at all.
Wei Hongqing said coldly: "Because no one dares to sell it!" The foundation of the various sects is different, and when the connoisseur sees it, he will know which one he refined. Tianmu Mountain is looking for Lu Zi'an up and down, and they are all chasing this Zhuji Dan, you go to the Fang Market to sell it, which store dares to accept it? Even if someone really collects it, do you have a life flower? ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, Wei Hongqing was right, not to mention that there was no life flower, there was no life to sell!
Who can it sell to? As long as it is sold, the news will never be kept, and when Tianmu Mountain comes to the door, who can deal with it? Maybe when you go out, you will be reported to Tianmu Mountain by the buyer.
Tan Bazhang hesitated: "Someone will always accept it, right?" Sell farther, go to Qingchengfang City, or Luofu Shanfang City to sell? To this day, when did you not live with your head pinned to your belt? Looking ahead and looking backwards, this is not the style of our Oolong Mountain monks! ”
Zuo Gaofeng said: "This matter should be considered in the long run...... Everyone, don't be impatient, since Brother Wei has recruited us, there must be a doorway, how can Brother Wei be a person who looks forward and cares about the future? ”
Of course, Wei Hongqing is not a person who looks forward and backward, otherwise he would not have summoned everyone over, but his disposal method is more stable: "In fact, Zhuji Dan fell second, and the sect elders of Tianmu Mountain were angry that there were rebels in the door. Therefore, an edict was issued, if the disciples in the door can find Lu Zi'an and recapture the Zhuji Dan, the outer disciples will directly enter the inner door, and the inner disciples will directly teach the secret method of the sect! ”
The monk asked, "What if it's an outsider?" ”
Wei Hongqing nodded and said: "This is the shame of Tianmu Mountain, Tianmu Mountain is unwilling to fake others, if outsiders provide information, they can be rewarded with twenty spirit stones." ”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately depressed, and Tan Bazhang said: "Let him die!" I don't want to be a big deal, so I'm so stingy! ”
Xishan monk said: "If there is news that you can sell twenty spirit stones, you won't take it?" Brother Tan can quit, but I am willing, we will each get four yuan, which is a lot. Brother Liu Xian, what do you say? ”
Liu Xiaolou was very simple: "Sell!" ”
Wei Hongqing smiled mysteriously: "If it is only for this, I will not invite you." I have a way, as long as I catch Lu Zi'an and recapture Zhuji Dan for Tianmu Mountain, I can get fifty spirit stones! ”
Liu Xiaolou suddenly understood: "Brother Wei is saying that he will hand over Renhe Dan to Brother Wei's ...... in Tianmu Mountain."
Tan Bazhang also turned the corner: "Hello!" ”
The monk asked, "Is she willing to give fifty?" Obediently, these famous guys are so generous! Well, so, it's a real deal! ”
Zuo Gaofeng stroked his beard and smiled: "After all, it's ten layers...... This matter should be considered in the long run. ”
