Volume 1 The Worldly Rivers and Lakes Chapter 52 The Boundary Division

The old Taoist priest became interested, took the note, and immediately flipped through it. Li Qingxuan was waiting by the side, he was very agile and intelligent, and unconsciously, he changed the title from the more rusty predecessor to Mr., which seemed a little closer. After a long time, the old Taoist priest handed back the notes and only sighed: "Sure enough, he is a genius of Tianzhong, and he can see the cognitive insights of the Dao so clearly and thoroughly, no wonder he was able to create this Tai Zhou Tiangong." ”

"It's also thanks to his cultivation that he will focus on other aspects. If we are able to continue to practice, I am afraid that I will also devote myself to cultivating the Tao and seeking the fruits of the Dao, and I will definitely not analyze the essence of these truths again and see them thoroughly. The old Taoist priest was puzzled: "It's just that I have some doubts, how can such a genius not know the realm above Qi cultivation?" Li Qingxuan wanted to answer him, but saw that the old Taoist priest frowned and muttered to himself. "Although it is not good for a cultivator to reveal the Divine Passage Method in front of the eyes of people in the world, he is also the peak of Qi cultivation and has been able to release his true qi, so he is a cultivator, why hasn't he met a person with the same path?"

"Could it be that there is another secret beside him?" "Or is it that someone has been by his side for decades, isolating him from the cultivators of various sects, just like people in the world, who have never seen the truth of the Dao? However, if the person who is hiding in the shadows can follow this old Taoist for decades without disappearing, why not kill the old Taoist in one fell swoop, but spend decades guarding this old Taoist?" ”

The old Taoist priest thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head, looked at Li Qingxuan, and said: "This is your cause and effect, it should be up to you to solve it, so I won't bother." When Li Qingxuan listened to his speculation, his heart was turbulent, and he had mixed feelings, and he waited until the old Taoist priest pointed out the cause and effect, and then he calmed down. After waiting for a while, he saw that the old Taoist priest was still pondering, as if he was thinking about the Tai Zhou Tiangong and the insights of the Fu Dao notes.

Li Qingxuan took a step back and bowed his hand and said: "The junior Li Qingxuan is only a shallow learner, although he has obtained such true cultivation techniques, I am afraid that he will also follow in the footsteps of his family master and stop at the realm of true qi release, and ask Mr. to show me a clear path." The old Taoist priest woke up and was silent. Li Qingxuan gave another big gift, his heart was sincere, and he bowed and said, "Please teach me, sir." The old Taoist priest sighed and nodded slightly. Li Qingxuan was overjoyed, only to feel that the world was clear, and the road ahead of cultivation was already expected to open the fog and see the sky.

Practicing Qi, Kanli, Dragon and Tiger, Jindan, Yuanying, Yuanshen, and Soaring are the seven realms of cultivation. At present, the realm of cultivation is divided by itself, and it is no longer just that in ancient times, only the cultivation was accumulated and profound, and the realm was not divided into high or low. "It is rumored that in ancient times, regardless of the realm, only the cultivation was accumulated, and the cultivation was a breath of true qi, so it was called a qi refiner. The old Taoist priest sat cross-legged and said: "This Tai Zhou Tiangong is cultivated by the origin of the human body, which is different from the ordinary true qi, which can be called directly pointing to the origin of the Great Dao, and in the ancient Qi refining method, it is also a stream of immortal products. It's a pity that today is changing, so there is a division of realms. ”

The old Taoist priest said: "Zhang Daoren is a genius and created this kind of exercise, but it is a pity that he only knows the realm of qi training, and does not know the division of the current realm, so he has lost a lot of tricks, so that this can be called a superior exercise falls into the mundane. Li Qingxuan was puzzled, so he asked: "Sir, what is the difference between the current realm division and the ancient qi refiner?" "The ancient qi refiner is good at exhaling, cultivating true qi, can pick up qi from the xia, swallow clouds and spit mist, and only have one breath of true qi for cultivation. ”

The old Taoist priest continued: "This breath of true qi has no realm limit, and it grows day by day with daily practice. Such a step-by-step cultivation method is like a drop of water, bit by bit, accumulating over time, and gradually becoming rivers, lakes and seas. "Later, the breath of heaven and earth was cloudy, and it was not as pure as before. In other words, the aura is thin and not as pure as it used to be. "Since then, the Qi Refiner has derived the cultivation method. ”

There was no lack of sighs in the old Taoist's tone, and he said with emotion: "Compared with the Qi Refiner who gradually accumulates bit by bit, the cultivation path is different. He paused, sighing a little. This high-ranking posture that wanted to speak again made Li Qingxuan a little speechless, and he had no choice but to ask: "Dare to ask sir, what is the difference between the two?" "There is a division of realms in cultivation, so it is different. ”

The old Taoist priest pretended to be profound and said: "The realm of qi cultivation is like a water plate. When you have enough true qi and reach the peak of qi cultivation, it is like the water tray is already overflowing, no matter how hard you try to meditate and cultivate, the increased true qi cannot be accommodated, and you have to eliminate it. Li Qingxuan nodded thoughtfully. Compare the realm of qi training to a water plate, and the true qi to clear water. When you reach the peak of your cultivation qi, that is, when the water plate is overflowing, no matter how you practice and meditate, the increased true qi will also pass. It's like pouring water into a dish of water that is already overflowing, and it will always overflow and not be able to be retained.

From this point of view, the restrictions are extremely great, but they are far inferior to the ancient qi refiners who have accumulated over time. However, Li Qingxuan was able to conclude that the path of cultivation must be more than that. Sure enough, the old Taoist priest continued: "And breaking through from the Qi Cultivation Realm to the Condensation Realm is like changing the water tray for the Water Guard. Li Qingxuan couldn't help but say: "In this way, every realm is improved, just like the water tray is replaced by the water tank, and the water tank is changed by the water tank, so changed?

"That's right!" the old Taoist priest said with a smile: "Compared to the cultivation accumulated by the ancient qi refiners, with such a realm change, the cultivation is faster. But if you can't break through the realm, just like your master Zhang Daoren, you have to stop at the peak of this realm, and it is difficult to advance an inch, and the true qi that grows through practicing meditation is like pouring water into a dish of overflowing water, and it will eventually pass. "It is not easy to break through the realm, and the bottleneck between the realms is the biggest obstacle for a monk, and there are often monks who are trapped all their lives and cannot break through after exhausting their life's energy. The list goes on. ”

The old Taoist priest said it slowly, and his voice was like the rhyme of Lin Laiquan. Li Qingxuan listened very intoxicated, and knew a lot about cultivation. But he knew that this was not enough, so he asked in a low voice: "Sir, I see that in the realm of practicing qi, it is divided into three levels: qi sense, true qi, and true qi release.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Sure enough, he is thoughtful, no wonder he can observe the subtleties and watch the golden cicada feather." You can obtain these two supernatural powers, not only because this exercise is extraordinary, but also because of your own clear state of mind and careful thinking. Li Qingxuan didn't dare to say anything, and said: "Mr. praised it falsely, and the younger generation is ashamed." "You deserve it. ”

The old Taoist priest said with a smile: "As you said, the Qi cultivation realm is divided into three small realms, and the rest of the realms are naturally divided into fine divisions. "The realm of qi cultivation is divided into three layers, with qi sense, true qi, and true qi release. "Kanli realm, respectively, is to build the foundation of the medicine, Kanli intersects. ”

"The realm of the dragon and tiger refers to the dragon that is, the heart of the person, the heart is the fire of the heart, the cultivation of the inner Dan pays attention to the cultivation of nature, so that the fire of the heart sinks to the lower dantian, also known as the 'green dragon driving the fire under the dantian'. The white tiger refers to life, refers to the vitality of people, and vitality also refers to kidney water. 'White Tiger Xingbo out of the Kidney Palace' will meet the green dragon, the dragon and tiger hug each other and ignore it, so the heart and kidney intersect, water and fire. This is called 'dragon and tiger convergence', and after that, the dragon and tiger are subdued, so that the dragon and tiger meet, and the golden soup and jade liquid are born. ”

"The golden soup jade liquid is the root of the golden pill, and when it reaches a height of nine inches, it can condense the golden pill. Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest just nodded slightly and did not speak again. Li Qingxuan was afraid of being rude, so it was difficult to urge, but he was extremely anxious and even more curious. I only heard the old Taoist priest sigh and said: "Jindan is divided into nine turns, but when it comes to the step of condensing Jindan, he is already an immortal figure, so he is also called a human immortal." ”

Li Qingxuan, a figure of the Immortal Family, was immediately shocked, and was about to be questioned, but the old Taoist priest had already shook his head. Li Qingxuan is also a smart and agile person, seeing the old Taoist priest say this, he knows that the Yuan Infant Earth Immortal Realm is too far away, and it is no longer within his current reach, so the old Taoist priest is reluctant to tell him. In addition, it may also be that this old Taoist priest has something unspeakable and difficult to tell him about this level of things.

"Actually, there are not many flaws in this exercise, but there is a little bit of change in the realm. The old Taoist priest lowered his head and muttered: "If it is deduced and changed, it should be feasible, and it can even be compared with the major immortal methods in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. When Li Qingxuan heard this, his eyes showed a look of longing, surprise, and expectation. This old Taoist priest didn't say it, and Li Qingxuan couldn't think of this, but since he said it, he must have the intention to improve the exercises.

The old Taoist priest said in a deep voice: "After the derivation, add the foundation building medicine, and the method of the intersection of Kanli can be perfected to the step of Kan Li. "If you add the methods of cultivating the dual cultivation of life, subduing the dragon and tiger, and making it converge to give birth to a series of methods of golden soup and jade liquid, then this step of the dragon and tiger realm can be regarded as complete. "It is also a step to condense the golden soup and jade liquid and turn it into a golden pill. ”

"Jindan is divided into nine turns, and it is also a step, after the ninth turn of Jindan, cultivate into a Yuan Infant, and then you will be able to walk the path of the ancient qi refiner, and you don't need to add realm changes. The old Taoist priest said to himself: "Moreover, at that point, it is so profound and wonderful that I can't deduce it." He said a lot, and Li Qingxuan vaguely understood.

Finally, the old Taoist priest looked at Li Qingxuan and said slowly: "This ghost treasure of yours, as well as the evil qi in it, are of great use to me. And I need three golden leaves of raspberry grass. If you are willing, I will deduce the exercises for you and perfect them, and this town ghost treasure tripod and the three gold leaves will belong to me. Li Qingxuan said without hesitation: "Thank you, sir, the younger generation is willing!" Although the treasure is good, compared with its own avenue, it is not enough to worry about.

The breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, so uncomfortable. The old Taoist priest retreated and extended the Tai Zhou Tiangong and perfected it, and has not yet been released. Li Qingxuan meditated cross-legged, guarding the entrance, the true qi was running Zhou Tian, and after the completion of the work, he leaned on the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate. The raspberry grass is beside him, and the six golden leaves are dazzling. The old Taoist priest only asked for the ghost treasure tripod and three gold leaves, which showed that the hundred-year-old raspberry grass was still quite precious.

Li Qingxuan has two gold leaves on his body, plus the remaining three gold leaves, for a total of five. And after careful cultivation in the future, it is estimated that raspberry grass can grow another hundred years of golden leaves. The Ghost Suppression Treasure Ding may be an extraordinary treasure, but it is of little use to Li Qingxuan, at least for the time being, Li Qingxuan is not as practical as the Ghost Suppression Treasure Ding, and he can use this Ghost Suppression Treasure Ding in exchange for the opportunity to improve the exercises, Li Qingxuan feels that he will get twice the result with half the effort, and he will benefit from it.
