Chapter 6: The First Three Realms of Cultivation
In the early morning, morning dew dripped from the leaves on the roadside, and the faint sound was accompanied by the whispers of the dreamers. In the distance, the faint fog dissipated, and the outline of the not very tall mountain could be seen slowly becoming clear.
Shen Qi woke up in a good mood. In the dream, Shen Qi saw that he had made a name for himself in the outside world, and the villagers in An Ran Village were proud of him, and his childhood friends cast envious eyes on him......
Shen Qi could deeply feel his longing for cultivation and his yearning for a wonderful life in the outside world. He was obsessed with the beauty of his dreams, and even when he woke up, he still felt aftertaste.
Perhaps Shen Qi was looking forward to cultivation too much, and before he had breakfast, he got up and went straight to the village, obviously larger, and his many clothes were filled with the oncoming wind again and again.
"Uncle Meng, it's morning!" Passing by a tall stone house, Shen Qi saw a dark-skinned strong man chopping wood, occasionally letting out a dull snort.
This person's name is Li Meng, who is not only the aboriginal of the village, but also one of the main producers in the village. Li Meng is bold, both adults and children are very kind to him.
"You're early, Shen Qi, my little rabbit cub is still in bed!"
"Where are you going, do you want to go into the house to rest for a while, your aunt is preparing a meal. "The extremely roughly decorated stone house in front of me doesn't look big, but there is something inside.
Shen Qi was deeply impressed by this stone house. The villagers all know that unlike the monotonous design of other stone houses in the village, Li Meng's stone house has been deliberately built with countless mezzanines in order to increase the use of space. This is where I often played with Li Ergou, the little rabbit cub in Li Meng's mouth, when I was a child.
"No, no, Uncle Meng, I'm going to the village to find Grandpa Wang. For Shen Qi, who was very eager to practice, how could he let other things delay him now, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Did Second Master Wang get up so early? Shen Qi, your Grandpa Wang is a very capable person! It doesn't matter if you make trouble with me, but you must not annoy your Grandpa Wang, his old man is very angry" Li Meng's typical honest image has always made people feel cordial.
"I know, Uncle Meng! Grandpa Wang asked me to find him today, I won't make trouble" Shen Qi was very polite, although he was in a hurry to rush to Second Master Wang's house, he was not impatient with Li Meng's words of concern.
"Well, then you can go quickly. Li Meng laughed, scratching his head with his right hand.
Shen Qi nodded and continued to rush towards the village, he inadvertently looked back, the rows of wheat planted in the field behind Li Meng's house This is a harmonious picture.
Shen Qi, who was far away, had already seen the flag dancing in the wind, and the eye-catching word "Wang" on it had a special sense of beauty at the beginning of the morning. The flag swayed from side to side throughout the piece, which was very regular.
"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wang, Shen Qi is here", Shen Qi ran quickly towards a majestic figure.
......
"Shen Qi, since you have thought it through, grandpa will naturally not stop you, listen to it below"
Wang Erye was half-snuggled up to the bench, and he threw his coat beside him. Shen Qi has always had a good relationship with Second Master Wang, but it was the first time he observed Second Master Wang at such a close distance, and he couldn't help but make some new discoveries.
There is a slight stubble on his face, and although his skin is not as dark as Li Meng, it can be clearly seen that this must be the skin that has been washed and worn by the years. His fingertips were yellowed, as if they had been smoked, and his knobby fingers made it impossible to imagine that he was an old man who often struck iron.
He was over 80 years old, but his back was straight, and his cheekbones were slightly higher than the others. It is safe to say that even most of the middle-aged people in Enron Village are not as burly as him.
"Don't be distracted, since you've chosen to follow the path of practice, you have to focus. Second Master Wang looked at Shen Qi and shook his head slightly, this is still a child after all. Shen Qi watched the fire under the stove table burn brightly, and the pot of water placed on it sounded rhythmically.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I won't get distracted" Shen Qi suddenly felt ashamed.
Second Master Wang gently stroked the back of Shen Qi's head with his hand, and then said, "Let me first tell you about the realm called the entry in this cultivation, which is the foundation that every cultivator knows. ”
"In general, the realm of this entry is divided into three, namely Shaping Spirit, Taiqing, and Metamorphosis. ”
The most important thing in the realm of shaping the soul is the boiling of the body, which is the simplest realm, but it does not mean that it is not important. ”
......
The Spirit Shaping Realm is the first step for mortals to become cultivators, and in the Tianyun Continent, more than eighty percent of people can perform Spirit Molding. To measure a practitioner's achievements in the realm of spiritual shaping, the most important thing is to compete with each other.
Although it stands to reason that a cultivator in the Spirit Shaping Realm can try to enter the next realm with more than a thousand catties of strength, most people will not do so.
There are thousands of cultivators in the Tianyun Continent. In the summaries and considerations of countless ancestors, some strong people put forward the truth that has been believed to this day: the achievements of the Shaping Spirit Realm often restrict their future realm ascension, and the greater the strength of a practitioner to improve in the Shaping Spirit Realm, the greater his potential will naturally be tapped.
If there is no heaven and earth treasure, no matter how long nine out of ten people stay in the Shaping Spirit Realm, the strength of Dingtian will be superimposed to five thousand catties.
Of course, there are also people in this world who are born with a stronger physique than ordinary, and they are undoubtedly the proud characters of the sky. Except for those lucky ones who have experienced adventures, most of the delicate children of these heavens have special physique and are deeply loved by the big sects and sects all over the world.
Speaking of special physiques, there are many types of them, and naturally they cannot all have the same status. The special physique is ranked according to the sages of the past and present, not to mention that there are three, six, nine and so on.
Some special physiques are only stronger than ordinary physiques, and the highest level of the spirit shaping realm can reach 10,000 catties, which can only be said to be stronger than ordinary people; To put it bluntly, as long as these demons have the opportunity, they can completely stack their strength to 90,000 jin and approach 100,000 jin.
Hearing this, Shen Qi was a little puzzled, "Then grandpa, no one will cultivate his strength to 100,000 catties?"
Second Master Wang was obviously a little surprised by Shen Qi's question, in fact, Second Master Wang also wanted to know about this question. The second master of Wang, who showed a thoughtful look, raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Perhaps, there have been many outstanding people throughout the ages, and not every cultivator has a record of his or her spiritual realm...... Second Master Wang's tone became lower and lower, he wasn't sure if it was really as he said, after all, it was too shocking.
There are cultivators who have cultivated their strength to 99,999 jin in the Spirit Shaping Realm, which is also the highest record set by the Tianyun Continent throughout the ages. Second Master Wang vaguely remembered a few strokes in the ancient books,
This is exactly the sigh of that genius back then, "I hope there are really people in heaven and earth who can break this limit, I really want to see this scene!"
Thinking of this, Second Master Wang's heart was a little complicated. Such a proud person can't break the limit of 100,000 catties, and I don't know if anyone can really see the unknown wonderful.
Although Shen Qi is still young, he is a clever person, not the kind of reckless bear child. Shen Qi naturally noticed Second Master Wang's muttering and distraction, he didn't know what Second Master Wang was thinking, and he couldn't even understand that his simple question would make Second Master Wang react so strangely, at least in his opinion.
"Woo~" I don't know how long it took, the sound of the pot of water placed on the stove was shaking louder and louder, and the fire under the stove seemed to be burning more and more.
"Hey, it seems that people are indeed old, and they actually talk about it...... Shen Qi, why don't you wake me up?" Second Master Wang, who came back to his senses, looked at a child who was standing and not as tall as he was sitting on his own, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Grandpa, if you think of something that you can think about slowly first, Shen Qi is not in a hurry," he said, and he hurriedly ran to the stove, "Grandpa, do you want to drink tea?" I heard Aunt Xue say that the first cup of tea in the morning is good for the body. ”
Shen Qi's trembling hands laboriously moved the kettle on the stove, and then he placed the cleaned cups on the wooden table. As a few tea leaves fell, a stream of water was poured into the mouth of the pot, and a simple cup of camellia was brewed.
"The technique is quite skillful," Second Master Wang teased, taking the tea handed by Shen Qi, "Shen Qi, let's continue to talk about the two realms of Taiqing and Shenfan." ”
"The realm of Taiqing can be summarized in eight words, 'dirt is not stained, and vulgar appearance is not stained'"
If you can achieve these eight words, it means that you have successfully fulfilled the requirements of the Taiqing Realm. Although in general, most people can naturally enter the Taiqing realm after cultivating the spirit, it does not mean that the Taiqing realm is simple. Second Master Wang paused slightly,
"Because many people can't really understand the dirt and vulgarity in their hearts, it leads to them being able to stay in the realm of Taiqing for the rest of their lives, which is a very sad thing. ”
"Shen Qi, you must remember: the path of a cultivator is by no means a simple matter of improving strength, and the most important thing in cultivation at any time is comprehension. Even if it is a grass, if you can truly understand it, if you can truly grasp the Tao and the Dharma it represents, then you can also go toe-to-toe with the most powerful existence in heaven and earth! Second Master Wang's tone was a little excited, and his voice involuntarily raised a lot.
"As for the realm of metamorphosis, it can be regarded as a threshold for a cultivator, and only when he truly reaches the realm of metamorphosis can he truly distinguish himself from a cultivator and a mortal. ”
But there is nothing special to pay attention to in this realm, and the biggest difference between it and the two realms of Shaping Spirit and Taiqing is the cognition of the power of heaven and earth. To put it simply, it is to learn the rough use of the power of heaven and earth, because the things that individuals comprehend are different, and the power of heaven and earth that can be used is also slightly different. ”
"I won't talk to you too much about this realm, it's a little too ambitious, you should remember what I said to you!"
"Got it, Grandpa!" Shen Qi suddenly received so much new knowledge but felt tired, and subconsciously saw that his desire for cultivation became more and more obvious.
