Volume 1 The Elephant of Heaven and Earth Chapter 11 The First Glimpse of the Doorway
"Uncle, although our Yunyin Island is a lineage of the ancestor of Jianji, and the third ancestor is also the most proud disciple of the ancestor, but in the generation of the master, the other three islands have become a big trend, and they are fighting against the island everywhere. Alas!" Qingxu couldn't help but sigh when he talked about the current situation.
"Virtuous nephew, how do you plan to arrange this talent meeting?" Seeing Qingxu's troubles, Taiqing Lao Dao opened the topic.
"What arrangements can I make for this little immeasurable view? Last year, I was planning to send my senior disciple to participate in the fire, although with his qualifications, it may not be able to come in handy, but it is also a rare experience for him to go to the sect for a long time. Since receiving Mingcheng, you must have seen it uncle, this kid is extremely talented, don't say that there is still the possibility of success in building a foundation before the conference, even now, at the age of less than fifteen, he has reached the tenth level of the qi training period, which is enough to win glory for the master. When Qingxu said this, his mood began to improve, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he continued: "If there is no change, Mingcheng will naturally go to participate, but before going to the East China Sea to participate in the conference, I am afraid that I must first tell this child about the tragedy that happened in his family." Otherwise, it is not in line with human ethics, nor is it conducive to letting him cut off the fate of the earth. But that could only be said after he tried to build the foundation. ”
"There's something I want to remind my nephew. Taiqing said: "After the situation in Wushengguan is controlled, General Liang's subordinates will definitely come to find Mingcheng, and the imperial court should also make some arrangements, and may give bereavement and inherit some official positions." It is unknown how Mingcheng's state of mind will change at that time. These things must be well known and arranged in advance. ”
"Thank you Uncle for reminding me, or Uncle Shi has thought it through. Qingxu frowned and said: "These things are really troublesome, but the most important thing at the moment is to arrange the matter of building the foundation of Mingcheng, as for the future, I have to improvise." Besides, I look at this son, although he was born in an official eunuch, but he is pure-hearted and has few desires, and he is not a person who is obsessed with Hongchen, I was worried about it before, I was afraid that he would be difficult to give up the affection of his parents, but now, ......" Qingxu suddenly stopped talking when he came here.
"In that case, let's go see him, for nearly a year, I don't know how his condition has progressed. ”
"Poof!" A fist-sized gravel landed lightly at his feet, Liang Cheng exhaled, raised one of his hands in surprise and looked at it, and found that he was able to control some small objects from a distance This morning. Entering the late stage of Qi cultivation, he has been busy consolidating his realm under the supervision of his master, and he didn't notice some changes in his body and senses at first, and found that he felt different from before, and he found that he was still discovering it during dinner a few days ago. Every time the Huogong Taoist sent a meal, Liang Cheng could feel what kind of food was contained in it without opening the food box, as well as the subtle movement of insects and ants crawling in the grass in the distance, the sound of dew dropping between the leaves in the early morning, and even the wriggling of earthworms in the soil in the yard. In Liang Cheng's feeling, the world seems to be different from before, and it has become more colorful.
Liang Cheng has been groping for the control of various small objects by himself today, and he is never tired of it. After practicing it many times, he found that he was not very clever in manipulating metal and wooden objects, and he was always handy in manipulating earth and stone objects, Liang Cheng thought to himself that this must be related to his own earth-based Heavenly Spirit Root.
After a while, Liang Cheng began to close his eyes and silently recite the "Bigu Jue" taught by Qingxu, this mantra is not long, Liang Cheng has already memorized it well, and what he lacks is just to experience it with his heart and put it into practice, which is also the homework arranged by Qingxu.
But that's easier said than done. It's almost noon, and my stomach starts to growl. Liang Cheng smiled bitterly and remembered Master's words yesterday: "Mingcheng, starting tomorrow, you will start trying to open the valley." You must know that you have cultivated to the late stage of Qi refining, and your body can already absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for health preservation. When you succeed in building the foundation, you can completely clear the valley, and then hunger is just an illusion, and you have to hold it on. Although eating whole grains is harmless, it is also useless, and will only stagnate and produce filth. ”
Although he believed in Master's words, the illusion of being hungry was too real, and Liang Cheng couldn't help but sigh that it was really not easy to cultivate. So Liang Cheng's stomach was "growling", and he read aloud the general outline of "Bigu Jue" to resist, which looked very funny.
"The flesh-eaters are brave and fierce, the grain eaters are wise and skillful, the gas eaters are bright and long-lived, and the non-eaters are immortal and godly. Liang Cheng was reading aloud, and suddenly Qingxu and Taiqing walked in one after the other, looking at him with a smile.
"I've seen Master, Uncle Ancestor!" Liang Cheng hurriedly saluted.
"Hehe, that's it. Qingxu smiled and waved his hand, and turned to Taiqing and said, "Uncle Shi, how do you think Mingcheng is now?"
"Well, the complexion is good, I can't imagine that the few 'dream flies' left by Lao Dao are an expedient measure to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but they can have such a curative effect, which is really unexpected. ”
Of course, Liang Cheng knew in his heart that the improvement of his health now was mostly due to Shi Meng's work, but he couldn't say anything about it. Thinking of Taiqing Laodao's gift of medicine, he was really grateful, so he said: "Thank you for the kindness of Uncle Shi for donating medicine." ”
Taiqing nodded, motioned for Liang Cheng to sit down, and then stretched out his hand to check Liang Cheng's pulse, and after a while, he was surprised: "It seems that this child's illness is not a problem, I knew that this was the case, and I didn't have to delay it for a long time outside." After speaking, he was about to let go of Liang Cheng's hand, but suddenly he seemed to notice something, and he held the pulse and groaned for a while, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, and finally he didn't say anything and let go of his hand.
"Haha, that's fine, since your illness is fine, then according to the plan, after half a month, you can build the foundation. ”
"Building a foundation...... Liang Cheng looked at the master with some confusion, and he didn't quite understand this concept.
"What is foundation building?" Qingxu explained when he saw this: "For the teacher, let's first talk about the division of the cultivation realm, and the cultivation realm in the lower realm and the spiritual realm is divided into ten grades, which are called Qi training, foundation building, rotation, fusion, knotting, Yuanying, distraction, integration, Mahayana, and crossing. If a nether monk cultivates to the late stage of distraction, he will be rejected by the laws of heaven and earth, if he can survive the ascension tribulation, he will fly to the spirit world, if he can cultivate to the late stage of the tribulation in the spirit world, then affected by the laws of heaven and earth, he will encounter a great heavenly tribulation, if he can survive the heavenly tribulation, he will fly to the immortal realm, what will happen after the immortal realm, we nether monks are unimaginable. Speaking of this, Qingxu stopped explaining, revealing a leisurely and fascinated expression, presumably imagining the situation of the mysterious fairy world. ”
After a while, Qingxu smiled, and then said: "You have now refined your own mental method to the tenth layer, in fact, you have reached the tenth layer of the Qi training period, this is the highest realm of the Qi training period, within this realm you can no longer go further, if you want to continue to go down the road of cultivation, you must try to build a foundation, although building a foundation is the second realm of cultivation, in fact, it has laid the foundation for cultivation, and the monks after building the foundation can be regarded as the first glimpse of the doorway and stepped into the real realm of cultivation." There is also a 'Pei Yuan Dan' here as a teacher, which was given by your ancestor when I left Yunyin Island, and it is exactly what you are taking now. After Qingxu finished speaking, he handed Liang Cheng a small porcelain vase.
Liang Cheng said in his mouth that Xie stretched out his hand to take it, and said again: "Mingcheng, according to your qualifications, coupled with the effect of 'Pei Yuan Dan', although it cannot be said that there is a ten percent certainty in building the foundation this time, it will not be less than ninety percent, so as a teacher, I hope you will make a hundred feet forward and go further." Your situation is different from that of your senior brother Lihuo, although he has been staying at the tenth layer of the Qi cultivation period for a long time, but limited by his qualifications and temperament, the probability of success in foundation building is less than two percent in my opinion, so he has never dared to let him take this step. Over the years, I have always sent him out to practice, just to let him hone his mind, but it seems that it has not achieved much. ”
Speaking of this, Qingxu sighed, as if he felt sorry for his eldest disciple to leave the fire. After a while, Qingxu continued: "Okay, let's not talk about leaving the fire." If you succeed in building the foundation this time, you will be considered to have truly embarked on the path of a cultivator, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I hope you concentrate on your practice and don't be disturbed by external objects. I have commanded that from now until the day you try to build the foundation, no one, including the teacher, will disturb you. ”
After the order, Qingxu instructed Liang Cheng on the method of taking pills, the essentials and precautions for practicing during the foundation building period, and carefully explained one item after another, and it took two hours to confirm that Liang Cheng understood correctly, and then got up and left with Taiqing.
"Uncle Shi, is there anything wrong with Mingcheng's child?" After going out, Qingxu asked Taiqing.
"Hehe, you are careful, the old man hesitated, and you didn't let it go. Taiqing said: "There is a small fuzzy area in the depths of the Mingcheng Dantian, about the size of a small fingernail. Because the spiritual sense cannot penetrate it. Lao Dao didn't notice it before, but he suddenly felt a strange aura, and then traced the source and realized it. I've never seen this happen before, but after observing it for a long time, I don't see any signs of activity here, so it should be fine. ”
"That's ......" Qingxu frowned, a little worried about whether this would affect the foundation. Taiqing smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, I went to the Wanren Mountain Range in the south to collect medicine this time, but by chance, I got a thing, can you guess what it is?"
Qingxu smiled and said: "How can such a dumb little nephew guess, since Uncle Shi is so happy, it must not be an ordinary thing." Congratulations to Uncle Shi first, hehe. ”
"Hahaha, it's a red fire spirit ginseng, I've been thinking about this thing for nearly a hundred years, and I originally wanted to give up, but I didn't expect it to take no effort to get it. It seems that my furnace of 'Five Ginseng Pills' can be refined, and I will give you two pills after it is made." It's just that your treasure has to be borrowed as an envoy, and the virtuous nephew won't refuse. ”
"Where, what Uncle Shi needs, just use it. When Qingxu heard the words "Wushendan", his excited eyes lit up, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly agreed.
It must be known that this "Five Ginseng Pill" is an elixir made by extracting the essence of five attributes of spiritual ginseng, which has a miraculous effect on consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan and breaking through the cultivation realm. This kind of elixir, for cultivators, is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought, and they can't help but be excited.
"Alright, I'll go back and get ready to start refining. Before that, Lao Dao, I can also refine some elixirs for Ming Cheng to replenish lean qi and consolidate the realm, and after he successfully builds the foundation, he can take it. As for your baby, send it to the medicine garden when you're ready, and I'll go back first. ”
Seeing that Qingxu agreed, Taiqing Lao Dao flicked his sleeves and drifted towards the medicine garden.
