He shook his head before he began to look at the Luobei Tower. There are three floors in Luobei Building, but in front of the door is not a stone lion or a unicorn, but two divine horses and white deer, lifelike. Above the central gate, there is a plaque that reads: Luobei Building.

These three characters are the iron hook silver stroke, strong and powerful, magnificent, the person who wrote the plaque wants to be a calligrapher. Li Qing raised his head and couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture of Luobei Tower, but the corner he saw was very quaint and deep.

Although it is not a deep palace compound, it is classical and elegant, and it gives birth to a bit of grandeur out of thin air. Without waiting for Li Qing to praise him, he heard a sneer. A man of about thirty-two or thirteen years old passed by Li Qingshi's side, and when he saw him so fascinated by this Luobei Building, he sneered.

The man shook his head slightly, and whispered: "I haven't seen the world, and I don't know what to do in Luobeilou, but no one comes out to drive it away, and any cat or dog can get close?" Li Qing's face was cold, and he glanced at this person coldly, and suddenly felt a little surprised.

This man was thirty-two or thirteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, wearing only a long robe, and was not a monk or a Taoist. But Li Qing actually sensed the taste of true qi in him. This man was also a monk. Li Qing had a slight guess in his heart, and put the innate vitality in his eyes, and suddenly his eyes were glowing with a faint luster, and he looked around, and the few people who came to Luobei Tower were all cultivators.

"So this is a monk's banquet?" Li Qing adjusted his mood slightly, and then he was calm again, and only said to himself: "In this way, the guy who looked like he was in his thirties before, but he only had a true qi to stay on his face, but in fact, he was more than this age. He flicked his sleeves and stepped into the Luobei Building.

In the Luobei Building, this one has not yet entered the building, and it is only counted as a courtyard. But the scenery here is excellent, the rockery corner pavilion, the creek is murmuring, and many flowers and trees are planted more carefully on the four sides, which is a very pleasing courtyard.

The Nine Girls were standing beside the carved railing, quietly watching the flowing water turn and the golden carp swim below. With her identity, there is naturally no shortage of people who want to get acquainted, but her status is really too high, and there are only a few people who are really qualified to talk to her.

"How can the nine girls watch the scenery in the courtyard outside?" A young man in white stepped forward and said with a smile: "The wine table inside has been prepared, and the dishes should also be served, and the banquet will be served later." As a distinguished guest, how could the ninth girl be snubbed here?"

This young man in white has a handsome face, holding a folding fan, and has a graceful demeanor, he is a young man at the peak of his qi training, and his name is Gu Xun. On the list of outstanding people of the Tang Dynasty, it was listed as the twentieth. "Gu Gongzi's words are serious, I haven't cultivated yet, how can I compare to you, a distinguished guest on the list?"

The ninth girl said lightly: "Today, the young master invited many young and handsome people, most of them are characters who have cultivated true qi, and I think Gu Gongzi's cultivation should be among the best." Gu Xun chuckled and didn't reply to her, but smiled: "It is rumored that Liu Ziming, who is the fourth on the list, is also here." ”

The ninth girl smiled slightly, quite disapprovingly, and said: "If such a trivial matter can also be touched by him, then Liu Ziming will not be able to climb to the fourth place on the list of outstanding people." Besides, as the fourth on the list of others, there must be countless people from all walks of life who want to feast him, and if he really wants to go to the banquet one by one, he will still have free time in his life?"

Gu Xun laughed and said, "This is also the case." Then a great crowd came out. The first person turned out to be the host of today's banquet, the young master of Wenchang Pavilion in Nanyang County. This young master is only about 20 years old, a little immature, but he is richly dressed, his face is full of smiles, and he has a proud state of spring breeze.

And behind him, there are also some people who have cultivated true qi or have prominent statuses, such as the sons and nephews of some masters of cultivation. The young master arched his hand slightly, and said with a smile: "Ninth girl, Brother Gu Dao, both of you are distinguished guests, how can you wait outside here?

Two of you, and please let in quickly. ”

Gu Xun naturally nodded, but when he looked at the ninth girl, he showed a puzzled look. The ninth girl said calmly: "I'm still waiting for someone." Everyone was stunned. The young master was slightly stunned, and then said, "Which other Taoist friend has not yet arrived?"

This young master of Wenchang Pavilion is really a little puzzled, it is said that he is holding a banquet today, and among the young cultivators who can be present, Gu Xun, who is the twentieth on the list of outstanding people, has the highest ability, and the ninth girl has the highest status. In addition to these two, is there any other famous person who has not arrived?

Although he had already sent an invitation to Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming was a noble person and a cultivator, so he would definitely not come to the banquet. The young master was very puzzled. And they were amazed.

The ninth girl said: "You don't have to wait with me, you can bring all the Taoist friends inside, and I can wait here." "How can you be so rude?" The young master shook his head and smiled: "After all, my Wenchang Pavilion is a great sect of cultivators, how can I be rude here?" Besides, I also want to see which Taoist friend is the one who has made the Nine Girls wait so far. ”

Gu Xun smiled: "I also want to know which one it is." "The ninth girl has a cold temperament, even Xiao Yu, who is the first on the list, can't let her wait here. So who is it that can let the Nine Girls also wait for him in the courtyard?

The Nine Girls frowned slightly. The scholar did not have an invitation, so that he would not find a place or be driven away, so he waited here, but he did not want to attract everyone's attention. She thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not good to let all the fellow Daoists wait for him alone, so let's sit down first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure stepped into the courtyard. The crowd followed. It was a young scholar in a green shirt, with a handsome and tall appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite pure and dusty. I saw that this young scholar was carrying a green steel sword and a purple bag in the shape of a bamboo tube, and was looking around.

Just such a scholar, looking at his eyes curiously, looking around, it was clear that he was a guy who had never seen the world. The young master's eyes were slightly cold, and he frowned. Li Qingcai stepped into the courtyard, looked around, and found that a large group of people were gathering on the mahogany carved railing, and the nine girls were also among them.

It's just that Li Qing was quite stunned that everyone's eyes fell on him. However, this young scholar is not nervous, he is already from a family, and he has crossed paths with many big names. Now most of the people on this carved fence are cultivators, although he is a little surprised, but the true qi cultivation of this group of people above is not as good as his own.

Facing a group of cultivators whose cultivation was far inferior to his own, Li Qing seemed very calm and indifferent. Under everyone's gaze, the scholar in the green shirt just smiled slightly, nodded to everyone, and then bowed slightly to the nine girls, and said, "I've seen the nine girls below." ”

"Li Gongzi came a little slower. The ninth girl said: "Many Taoist friends here have already entered the table, and it is because of you that they have been delayed. Originally, in the eyes of the young master, Gu Xun and others, this scholar who had never seen much of the world should be flattered.

How do you know that the scholar just smiled slightly, and only said a little apologetically: "The landscape around this Luobei Building is quite elegant, with the meaning of winding paths leading to seclusion, although it is not as good as the Yuejiang Building in Jinling Mansion, but it is also good." I just watched the scenery and asked you to wait, but I really don't want to go. ”

He behaved extremely blandly, not flattered as expected, and even less at a loss. This made many people extremely unhappy and unhappy. "Actually look at the scenery and see it?" "Sure enough, it's a guy who has never seen the world." ”

Wenchang Pavilion, located in Shitang Mountain, Nanyang County, is a great sect of cultivation in the world, and it is also a powerful cultivator in the Tang Dynasty

One of the Taoist sects. Half a month ago, at the age of eighteen, the young master of Wenchang Pavilion turned the illusory qi in his body into reality, and finally gave birth to true qi. From then on, it can be regarded as truly stepping into the path of cultivation and becoming a cultivator in the Qi cultivation realm.

Today's banquet in this Luobei Building is to celebrate this event. Inside the building, on the window side. Li Qing likes to be clean, and the ninth girl also doesn't like to be noisy, so she shirked the seat at the main table and followed Li Qing to a table by the window.

Li Qing heard that Wenchang Pavilion had come to the young master to hold a banquet, just to cultivate true qi, and celebrate this matter, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and secretly thought: "The young master of the great sect of cultivation is only the cultivation of the first true qi?" The ninth girl just glanced at him lightly, and knew what this scholar was thinking, she said slowly: "You have been cultivating in the mountains since you were a child, and you have never been in contact with the outside world?"

Li Qing was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Yes and no." Since he was seven years old, he often went to the Shangzhen Temple on the Qionglong Mountain to learn fencing, and began to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of sixteen.

Li Qing only started cultivating the Tao last year, but he had never been in contact with the cultivators, and he did not know much about the affairs of the cultivators. Strictly speaking, Li Qing knew nothing about the monastic situation in the Tang Dynasty, and he was no different from those who had cultivated in the mountains since childhood.

"Cultivating true qi is the first threshold of cultivation. The Nine Girls said: "Cultivating Qi is the simplest, as long as it is run according to the exercises, in just a short period of time, there will be a vague sense of illusion in the body, as if the air is rotating, but this is only an illusory feeling." ”

"To turn this illusory qi into reality and give birth to true qi, that is the most difficult step, and it is also the first threshold on the path of cultivation. "There are a lot of people who are impatient, or have poor talents, and they basically stop here. And most of the people who successfully conceived and gave birth to their true qi also took decades, and most of them only condensed their true qi when they were gray and gray. ”

"The fact that the young master can turn the true qi into reality at the age of eighteen is already a great talent, and the exercises are excellent. When the ninth girl said this, she suddenly chuckled. This woman in a yellow shirt, who has always been cold, only smiled, and her beautiful face seemed to be glowing with a layer of luster.

Li Qing silently recited the meditation trick before suppressing the throbbing in his heart. The Nine Girl continued: "When the true qi is condensed out and the void is turned into reality, it is not too difficult to increase the cultivation in the future, as long as you use the elixir or the treasure of heaven and earth, you can speed up the cultivation realm. ”

She pointed to Gu Xun over there and said: "Gu Xun originally cultivated his true qi at the age of twenty-four, but later he had some adventures and got a panacea, and at the age of thirty-eight now, he cultivated to the peak of qi cultivation and released his true qi, thus ranking twentieth on the list of outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Although the young master may not have Gu Xun's panacea, after all, he is from a big faction, and he is expected to cultivate his true qi before the age of forty-eight. As for the realm of separation, it involves building a foundation and condensing. The matter of foundation building and condensing is extremely dangerous, and one careless person will be hated for life, and most of the cultivators who are at the peak of Qi cultivation are all killed by failing to build the foundation. ”

"This step does not depend on the natural talent, but mainly on the merits of the foundation building method, but the most important thing is to be careful and patient enough. Speaking of this, the ninth girl smiled before she said, "It's a bit far, but you should know that cultivation is not so easy." ”

Listening to her story, Li Qing's heart was clear. Since he left the cultivation level, his vision has also improved a lot, and he has completely forgotten the difficult record of the beginning of the cultivation in the master's notes. Cultivating a sense of qi can be as short as a few days or as many as a few years.

However, cultivating true qi is a threshold, even the master he has been groping for more than 20 years in vain at this step before he has to turn the qi into reality, and then gradually raise the true qi to twelve inches, the master is extremely talented, and at the age of forty-three he has cultivated the qi to perfection.
