Qi An became interested, and humbly asked, "Dean Cui, can you elaborate on it." ”

Dean Cui Yi saw that Qi An didn't understand, so he explained in detail: "The path of cultivating the truth is difficult, if you want to achieve something, you must cultivate both inside and outside!" 'Inside' is the realm of cultivation, which affects the basic ability attributes, such as strength, defense, speed, dexterity, endurance, true element quality, etc., which are mainly improved by practicing the exercises. ”

"Corresponding to the 'inside' is also the 'outside', and the 'outside' is the martial arts realm. Dean Cui Yi looked at Qi An, as if teaching a lesson, and said, "The word 'martial arts' has both 'martial arts' and 'dao', 'wu' refers to combat skills, including your martial arts moves and combat wisdom, and 'dao' refers to your cognition of the world and the truth comprehended from all things in heaven and earth. ”

After a pause, after Qi An roughly understood, Dean Cui Yi continued: "Compared with the cultivation realm, the martial arts realm is more difficult to improve, because it does not rely on cultivation, cannot be accumulated, and can only be found from all things in heaven and earth. ”

Qi An chewed these words several times, thoughtfully, and blurted out, "Is it possible that as long as you reach the Harmony Realm in the Martial Dao Realm, you can break through the Heaven Level Life and Death Alley when you are at the peak of the Martial Sect?"

"That's good!" Dean Cui Yi replied, "When a person's martial arts attainments reach a certain level, every move can form a perfect whole, which is natural, flawless, and flawless, this is the realm of harmony, and reaching this realm proves that you have already entered the martial arts path." ”

Qi An was surprised: "Is this only an entry?"

"It's already rare to get started!" Dean Cui Yi smiled, "The old man also said just now that the martial arts realm is more difficult to improve than the cultivation realm, which can be called one in ten thousand! That is to say, among the ten thousand peak martial arts sects, there may only be a genius who comprehends the Harmony Realm, and even the vast majority of Qi Condensing Cultivators have not comprehended the Harmony Realm, and they have not even entered the door in the martial arts, so you can imagine how difficult it is to reach the Harmony Realm!"

Seeing that Qi An didn't seem to believe it, Dean Cui Yi gave another example: "It has been more than two hundred years since the establishment of the Qianqing Academy, and it has recruited nearly one million students, but at the peak of the Martial Sect, there are less than 100 people who can comprehend the Harmony Realm and break through the heaven-level life and death alley.

Qi An thought about it carefully, this was indeed the case, and he knew that it was difficult to achieve the Harmony Realm, so he nodded and asked instead, "What other realms are there above the Harmony Realm?"

Dean Cui Yi replied: "The old man, like you, has only reached the point of the Harmony Realm in martial arts, so he doesn't know much, he only knows that the Harmony Realm is above the Harmony Realm, and then he doesn't know." ”

Qi An asked curiously, "What does the One Realm say?"

Dean Cui Yi thought for a moment before replying: "As far as the old man knows, the unity realm not only requires itself to become a perfect whole, but also emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, that is, to combine oneself with the environment and become one with heaven and earth. ”

For this explanation, Qi An understood the general meaning in a daze, but how to achieve the unity realm was completely unknown.

As the saying goes, "the Tao is the way, the very way", the real truth of heaven and earth is not something that can be explained in a few words, you need to understand it slowly, and even the results that everyone understands may be different, Dean Cui Yi can only provide Qi An with a general direction, what should be done, even he himself has not figured it out, and is still groping for verification.

It's just that this long conversation with Dean Cui Yi made Qi Anmao suddenly open, and his knowledge and knowledge about internal and external, cultivation and martial arts have increased a lot, and even pointed out the direction of his future cultivation, that is, both the cultivation realm and the martial arts realm are equally important, and both internal and external cultivation are indispensable.

Later, Dean Cui Yi asked why Qi An had such terrifying defensive power, and when Qi An truthfully explained that the exercises he practiced were [King Kong is not bad], Dean Cui Yi frowned deeply, and seemed to be quite worried about Qi An's choice of body refining exercises.

You must know that in today's cultivation realm, the body refining system is declining more and more, and the defects are becoming more and more obvious, resulting in the original few body refining exercises, many of which have been lost, and high-level body refining exercises are even rarer, and it is difficult to find them in the world.

If Qi An wants to go further on the road of body refining, there are only two ways, one is to find a higher level of body refining exercises and continue to cultivate them, and the other is to create follow-up exercises with great wisdom, which is even more difficult, and all those who can do it are peerless geniuses.

If these two items cannot be reached, then Qi An's cultivation path will only end at most when he reaches the God Refining Realm, and it will be difficult to do anything greater in the future.

Dean Cui Yi was worried about this, in his opinion, Qi An should be regarded as the most talented student in the history of the Backing Mountain Branch, promoted to congenital at the age of thirteen, and became a monk at the age of sixteen, what is even more commendable is that he took a crucial first step in the martial arts and comprehended the true meaning of the Harmony Realm, this is definitely a promising genius, who knows that he chose the path of body refining, isn't this self-destructive future?

Dean Cui Yi almost couldn't help but want to advise Qi An to abandon the body refining method and re-cultivate the Qi lineage, although it would take a lot of time because of this, it was better than walking on a desperate road with no future.

But Dean Cui Yi was still thinking about the choice of words, thinking about how to persuade Qi An, and inadvertently thought that since Qi An had advanced rapidly in the cultivation of body refining exercises, perhaps his talent was in this area, and he could step into the first realm of martial arts at the age of sixteen, obviously he had great wisdom far beyond ordinary people, and he would be able to create subsequent body refining exercises on his own in the future.

So, Dean Cui Yi dispelled the idea of persuasion, after all, it is not easy to practice, and the hard work of a few years does not mean that you can give up.

At the end, Dean Cui Yi said to Qi An: "You have been in the backer branch for three years, and you have also broken through to the realm of condensation, tomorrow the old man will tell you the truth, I believe that there will be specific arrangements soon, and then it will be time to separate, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, don't slack off, you must know that the world seems to be peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, and the disasters are not stopped, only by constantly improving yourself can you deal with all kinds of dangers!"

Qi An listened to it and thought so.

......

In Gushan County, there is a Xiuzhen Sect that is not too famous, and its name is Huayun Sect.

The history of Huayun Sect is only a few hundred years, and the founding ancestor is called Huayun Zhenren.

The so-called real person is the cultivator of the Rongyuan realm, and it is the fourth realm of cultivating the truth, and after refining the gods, it is the Rongyuan.

It's just that when Huayun Zhenren sits, no one among his disciples can reach the Rongyuan realm, and the strongest one is only the peak of refining gods.

Huayun Sect, like the Tibetan Sword Sect, is a second-rate cultivation force, but its strength is not as good as the Tibetan Sword Sect, because the number of existing God Refining Realm powerhouses in the Tibetan Sword Sect is two or three times more than that of the Huayun Sect, so the Huayun Sect's fear of the Tibetan Sword Sect is very deep, and the disciples of the sect do not even dare to step into Fufeng County.

Like most sects, the elders of the Huayun Sect have no distinction between inner and outer sects, as long as they have the cultivation of the Divine Refining Realm, they can become elders.

In addition to the sect master, Huayun Sect also has seven elders, Mao Pusong ranks third, and the disciples are called the three elders, and they are regarded as the number one person with more power in Huayun Sect.

It's just that since last year, Mao Pusong's temper has become very bad, and he often scolds his disciples, and the cause is just some trivial things, except for himself, no one knows why he became like this.

On this day, Mao Pusong was sitting in his living room drinking tea, when he heard a familiar voice outside the door: "Tell the third elder, you have always confessed to that matter, and you have finally found out a little eyebrows over there." ”

Mao Pusong raised his eyebrows, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, and shouted outside the door: "Come in and talk." ”

A middle-aged man with an ordinary face pushed the door in, knelt down on one knee in front of Mao Pusong, lowered his voice knowingly, and said in detail: "According to the news from our undercover disciple lurking in the Tibetan Sword Sect, Qin Xiang, who is known as Huang Cen, has already returned to the Tibetan Sword Sect, but I haven't seen any iron cards on her, but Mao Buping, the inner disciple of the Tibetan Sword Sect, once said that Qin Xiang was robbed of things by another person when she was in the Black Wind Valley, including her father's relics, which is also an iron plate, but I don't know if it is the one that the three elders are looking for." ”

"You mean...... The iron plate was snatched away?" Mao Pusong's face was a little gloomy.

"It should be so!" the middle-aged man replied cautiously, "The disciple also inquired in detail, when Qin Xiang disguised himself as a prostitute and hid in Huangni Town, there was indeed a young man who came to the door, and then the two disappeared together, and the next day Mao Buping met Qin Xiang in the Black Wind Valley, and the time was completely right, so the disciple suspected that it was probably this young man who took away the iron plate." ”

Mao Pusong immediately asked, "Who is this person?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't found out yet, it will take a little time." ”

Mao Pusong's face sank, and he shouted, "Then why don't you hurry up and investigate?"

"Yes. The middle-aged man got up in panic and withdrew from the house.

Mao Pusong's face became more and more gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "If I knew this, the old man should have personally taken you down and recaptured the iron card, just because I was afraid that this was a trap deliberately set by the Hidden Sword Sect, so I looked ahead and backwards, missed the opportunity, and gave birth to these many variables in vain—— Qin Xiang, you really damn it!"

With a "click", the teacup on the table split in half for no reason, and the tea spilled all over the table.
