Chapter Fifty-Six: The Spiritual Root Builds the Foundation
Just as Xu Dao was about to stay in the Baimao Wind Cave for three years, before the stipulated time, the formation in the cave suddenly changed, and it seemed that someone was about to open the formation and walk into the cave.
Xu Dao was staying in the crack of the ground cave to cultivate, and as soon as he realized it, he didn't have time to think too much, so he had to quickly collect his efforts and return to the ground.
After a while, the formation of the entrance and exit of the wind cave was opened, and the stone wall changed in reality and reality, slowly turning into a staircase, and there was a person standing on the entrance steps.
Xu Dao happened to be standing in the cave for a long time, and when he saw the person coming, he called out with a little surprise: "Long Daoyou?"
The person who came was the Daoist disciple of Long Li'er who sent him into the white-haired wind cave that day, and when this person saw Xu Dao, he also hurriedly made a joke and shouted: "Brother Xu, long time no see!"
Long Li'er looked at Xu Dao, suddenly her eyes lit up slightly, and she said: "Look at Brother Xu's calm temperament, I guess there will be gains in the past two years!"
The white hair wind cave has a dark spiritual vein, and Xu Dao borrowed it to practice, and his cultivation has improved rapidly, and his Taoism has been more than ten years. He only needs to practice another method of spitting out the essence of the sun, refining the talisman, and he can be promoted to the middle stage of qi refining!
But Xu Dao did not let his true cultivation be revealed, he only showed nine years of Taoism to the outside world by means of the jade hook, which was similar to when he first entered the cave.
Even so, the aura and temperament on Xu Dao's body are much more condensed than before entering the cave, and they are not the same.
In Long Li'er's eyes, although Xu Dao's cultivation has not increased much, his temperament is mysterious, and it should not be underestimated.
This made Long Li'er stunned for a while, and he couldn't wait to secretly think: "I've only heard that the white-haired wind cave tortures people, but I haven't heard that it can train people." It seems that this Xu Dao is really not an ordinary person! ”
"It is worthy of Xu Daoyou, and he can still practice quietly in the white-haired wind cave. Long Li'er immediately flattered, he paused, and said with a smile: "But Brother Xu's luck is here, you don't have to stay in this ghost place anymore!"
When Xu Dao heard this, he already had a guess in his heart, most of them were hinted at by the Ink Pattern Daoists, and there was something big happening in the White Bone Temple, and even a imprisoned Taoist like him had to be released to drive him.
However, he still pressed his thoughts, and said in surprise: "What do you say about Brother Long?"
"Hahaha!" Long Li'er laughed out loud and said, "Brother Xu, let's come out first, and talk while walking!" This person invited his hand, turned sideways, and motioned for Xu Dao to come out of the white-haired wind cave.
When Xu Dao saw it, he smiled and shook his sleeves and strode out of the wind cave.
As soon as he came out of the wind cave, his figure became clear in Long Li'er's eyes.
Xu Dao was standing tall, carrying a sword box behind him, a huge gourd hanging from his waist, his face was still green and young, probably because he had been beaten by the evil wind for a year or two, and there were still a few vicissitudes in his eyes, which was quite extraordinary.
Such an appearance of a young Taoist suddenly made Long Li'er, who was short in stature and had an ordinary face, ashamed of himself and envious.
Fortunately, Long Li'er was well-connected, he did not show jealousy, and opened his mouth to praise Xu Dao.
The two talked and laughed, and walked out together.
After a few words, Xu Dao suddenly learned from Long Li'er's mouth that something big had happened in the White Bone Temple.
It turned out to be a reincarnation, that is, the Black Mountain Divine Banquet once every sixty years, and the White Bone Temple was ready to send out all the Taoists in the temple this time.
Among them, the recall of those who went down the mountain, the release of those who were punished, and the whole audience mobilized.
Xu Dao was a little familiar with the so-called "Black Mountain Divine Banquet", but he didn't know what it was.
This tree demon is entrenched in the Black Mountain, and its roots are all over the entire Black Mountain Range, and its cultivation is amazing, and it is rumored that it is at least above the Jindan realm.
The Dryad has existed for thousands of years, and has also been sealed and established as the "Black Mountain God". The so-called "Black Mountain God Banquet" is the act of sacrificing to this tree demon mountain god once in a while.
This matter was originally supposed to be the responsibility of the mortal court, but after the establishment of the Wu State, the Wu court only sacrificed once, and the rest was presided over by nearby forces, such as the White Bone Temple.
And the reason why the White Bone Temple is keen to participate in this matter is because the entire Black Mountain is entrenched by the Dryad, and its incarnations are thousands of people, forming their own, covering the entire mountain range, so that cultivators are not allowed to enter.
Therefore, for thousands of years, there are many spiritual medicines, spirit beasts, and spiritual minerals in the mountains, and they are also full of spiritual veins, which can be regarded as a blessed land for a cultivator.
Only when the sacrifice is once in sixty years, the Black Mountain Dryad will acquiesce to the Taoist entering it to mine spiritual objects.
What's more, the Black Mountain Tree Demon still has a fruit, which matures in sixty years, and this fruit is known as the "Ascending Immortal Fruit", and the Taoist obeys it, and can use the fruit to grow spiritual roots in the Yin God, so as to build a foundation, and break through from the realm of refining qi to the realm of building a foundation.
In previous years, during a Black Mountain Divine Banquet, the number of Ascending Immortal Fruits released by the Black Mountain Tree Demon was as high as twenty, that is, it could help up to twenty Daoists to advance to the Foundation Building Realm.
The more forces that win the fruit, the more foundation building Taoists they can give birth to, and the strength will increase greatly.
However, the Black Mountain Dryad is huge in size and has many clones, and the Ascending Immortal Fruit does not grow together, but spreads throughout the Black Mountain.
Therefore, in order to find the Ascension Immortal Fruit, the forces participating in the Black Mountain Divine Banquet will launch the sect as much as possible and send people into the mountains to search, even if they can't find the Ascension Immortal Fruit, the more people, the more spiritual materials and elixirs that the sect can collect, which will help the development of the sect.
Of course, it is also dangerous to send people into Montenegro.
If one is not careful, if he angers the Black Mountain Dryad, the entire sect disciples may die, resulting in a lack of green and yellow in the door.
But this time, the White Bone Temple obviously made up his mind and decided to spend his blood and send out all the Daoists in the sect, leaving only some of the remaining guards in the temple to open the mountain protection array......
Listening to Long Li'er say these things, Xu Dao was surprised in his heart, and he pondered in his mind what the other party said about the "Ascension Immortal Fruit".
The biggest difference between the Qi Refining Realm and the Foundation Building Realm lies in whether the Daoist's Yin God is condensed or not.
After accumulating true qi three times during the Qi refining period, once the true qi of the Daoist is sufficient and the soul is condensed, he can start to try to condense the Yin God and cultivate the Yin God into various Dharma bodies.
When the cultivation of the Dharma Body is successful, the Yin God of the Daoist is initially condensed, and it is no longer a pure Yin mass, and its mana is also very different from the Qi refining period, which cannot be compared.
However, cultivating the Fa Body is not a simple matter, nor is it just a matter of having a Fa.
The foundation building realm is the same as the qi refining realm, which is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage, which are the three steps of rooting, condensation, and refining.
Among them, "establishing roots" means that Taoists find the corresponding heavenly and earthly treasures according to the cultivation method, refine them into the Yin God, turn them into the bones and root bones of the Yin God, and then build the framework of the Dharma body, use it to communicate with the world and understand nature.
The bones and root bones refined by different heavenly and earthly treasures and contemplative sects are different, but they all have a unified name - spiritual root.
As far as Xu Dao knows, the White Bone Meditation Method can refine two kinds of spiritual roots, namely the White Bone Essence Golden Root and the Ice Muscle Jade Bone Root, which can enable the Taoist priest to communicate with the Taiyin stars and enjoy the aura of the moon.
Xu Dao didn't know what the specific heavenly materials and earth treasures needed for these two spiritual roots were, but he knew that this thing was very rare.
Because in order to search for materials, the Taoists in Guanzhong often leave the mountain for ten or decades. So far, Xu Dao has not heard of anyone who has succeeded in finding materials and returning to the temple to build a foundation.
This shows how difficult it is.
Now there is a "Ascending Immortal Fruit" thing, and it makes the nearby Taoists boil, presumably this thing should be able to assist Taoists to refine the spiritual root, and has the effect of heaven and earth treasure.
Xu Dao is currently in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and he is still some distance away from the consummation of the Qi Refining Realm, but after he heard this, his mind also became active.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "Regarding the things that build the foundation, if you really wait for the completion of qi refining before considering it, I'm afraid it's too late......
