Lao Dao saw that Xiao Shan kowtowed to apprentice, and he was also very happy in his heart.

"In fact, the so-called immortals in the human realm are just cultivators in the Jindan realm, not real immortals. If a mortal wants to become an immortal, he needs to go through countless tribulations, and he must first reach the innate realm, and this level will not exist in ten, and when he reaches the innate perfection, he will encounter four or nine small heavenly tribulations. Zhao Laodao said.

"Heavenly Tribulation, what is that?" Xiao Shan asked curiously.

"Cultivating immortals, naturally, you have to endure the catastrophe, and this level is even more inactive. Only when the tribulation is truly successful can one truly step into the ranks of cultivators. The old man explained.

"But the Forty-Nine Little Heavenly Tribulation, compared with the later Sixty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, is just a small fight, the cultivation realm, divided into the acquired realm, the innate realm, the Jindan realm, the Yuan infant realm, the cave void period, the empty underworld period, the tribulation period and the Dacheng period, each period is divided into three stages, the front, middle and the back, and it is necessary to go through endless tribulations in order to ascend to become a real immortal. Lao Dao explained, then shook his head and said, "I'm just a Jindan monk in the human world, but I am called an old immortal by you, what a shame!"

"Oh my God, how many years will it take to cultivate?" Xiao Shan couldn't help but sigh.

"Once you enter the Jindan period, the lifespan is as long as hundreds of years, and it is not a problem to live for thousands of years if you maintain it well, and the cultivators of the Yuan Infant Stage can live for more than five thousand years, but at this time, the Six or Nine Heavenly Tribulation is coming, and if you can dodge, you can get immortality out of the body, and if you can't dodge, it will be wiped out!"

"It's horrible. ”

"Terrible? There is no comparison with the Ninety-Nine Tribulation of the Last Tribulation Period, that is the most extreme horror in the world. People who can survive the three tribulations and become immortals are all extremely talented, and they also need the support of aura and elixir. Lao Dao said with some regret and excitement, "Back then, if the immortal master hadn't given me a spirit sword, I am afraid it would have been even more difficult to experience the forty-nine small heavenly tribulations, but unfortunately that immortal sword is just a low-grade spiritual energy, and when it is a sixty-nine small heavenly tribulation, it will not be used!"

"Is there no other way?"

"Whether it is a human cultivating true immortal cultivator, or a demon beast and ghost cultivating true immortal, you have to go through the path of gathering inner pills, and there is no exception. The old man said.

"And the scattered immortals. Scattered immortals are cultivators who failed to survive the tribulation, and they are generally stronger than the masters of the tribulation period. ”

"The cultivation realm is far more exciting than I imagined, fighting with the heavens and the earth, constantly challenging the limit, crossing the limit, and crossing the void, flying with the sword! This kind of life is happy enough!" Xiao Shan was in a surging mood at this time.

"Apprentice, sit down, I'll help you test the root bones, and teach you a few more exercises!" Lao Dao said as he motioned for Xiao Shan to sit down.

Xiao Shan dared not comply, and immediately sat cross-legged on the futon on the stone platform.

Zhao Laodao released his divine sense, scanned it, was shocked and then overjoyed, and then frowned tightly, and as he turned to contemplation, he grabbed Xiao Shan's collection, touched Gu Ling, and clicked on Xiao Shan's body a few times. For Zhao Tianqi, the training method of the temple can only be said to be a modified introductory training, and it can only be said to break through the limits of the body, but Xiuzhen asked to go against the sky and seize the heavens and the earth. Now that Decision has forgotten his previous training, it's time to re-learn!

Xiao Shan saw the change in Lao Dao's expression, and he didn't know anything in his heart, so he immediately said, "Master, what is the specific situation, can you still save it?"

After thinking for a while, the old Taoist said, "Your root bones are excellent, it is the body of yin and yang, and the five spiritual roots are only in the current cultivation realm, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough, but I happen to have a Yin Treasure Scroll, although it is not an artifact exercise, but it will be somewhat helpful to you!"

"However, I see that there is a dragon yuan in your body, and the spiritual power of the cultivators comes from the essence of heaven and earth between heaven and earth, and is transformed into spiritual power through the size of the operation of the big and small Zhoutian, and your current spiritual power is obtained by absorbing foreign objects, not by your own cultivation, and you lack understanding of the operation and use of spiritual power. As a result, there is no spiritual power that cannot be used, and once you are nervous in a battle with an opponent, it is even more difficult to play. ”

Lao Dao thought for a moment and then said, "Moreover, according to your situation at present, I don't know anything about spiritual power, and Long Yuan doesn't seem to be very kind to you, and even has signs of devouring you, if you don't learn to operate spiritual power as soon as possible, refine Long Yuan as soon as possible, and become your own Yuan power, I'm afraid that within ten years, you will no longer be yourself, but a living dragon, the horns on your head and the scales on your face are the best proof." ”

"If that's the case, then what can I do to use my current spiritual power?" Xiao Shan jumped up when he heard this, and asked the old man eagerly.

"You sit cross-legged, and this seat will help you channel your spiritual power. "Lao Dao, seeing Xiao Shan sitting cross-legged, he deduced a few acupoints on his body, and stopped at the dantian with one hand and two hands, and so on several times. Xiao Shan suddenly burst into laughter.

"Why do you stop laughing?" the old man stopped.

Xiao Shan scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm more afraid of itching, it's okay, you continue." ”

"Overcome it and calm down, and carefully experience the feeling of spiritual power running, the process can be very painful, so please endure it. After that, he deduced again.

With the old Tao inputting a little source power to guide the operation of the true qi, Xiao Shan also carefully experienced the operation of the aura, and at the same time, every time he passed a level, Xiao Shan gritted his teeth tightly, enduring this huge pain, and then the comfort brought by the aura through the level, so his face was sometimes good and bad.

After a week of operation, Xiao Shan wondered, "In this way, can I use spiritual power?"

Looking at Xiao Shan's spiritual power condensed in his palm, Lao Dao nodded and said, "Not bad, the apprentice's operation of spiritual power and his perception of qi are very fast, and if you cultivate like this, you will definitely be able to break through the qi training period in five years and ten years." ”

"I'll go, the threat is imminent, but there is no time for the apprentice to practice? Master can there be other ways to help the disciple break through as soon as possible?" Xiao Shan pulled the old Taoist robe and pleaded.

"That's it, there is indeed a way to use the spiritual power of this seat to help you run a large and small Zhoutian, just like a warrior who opens up the second vein of Ren Du, and the apprentice can use the spiritual power freely, but it is just that if you forcibly bear the huge spiritual power in this way, the operation process will be very painful. Lao Dao stroked his beard and said.

"The apprentice's life is about to be saved, and I ask the master to do it. Xiao Shan begged, and Lao Dao also sat cross-legged behind Xiao Shan, dragging his hands on Xiao Shan's back, "Then let's start!"

After nearly half an hour, the heavens and the earth changed color, and Xiao Shan gritted his teeth in pain, gurgling. The blood vessels all over the body are prominent, the blood flow is fast, the process is very painful, and the flesh seems to burst open. The blood-colored mist enveloped his body, and it took a long time before it stopped.

Xiao Shan was in unbearable pain, his hands were raised to the sky, and a stream of spiritual power jumped out, hitting the ceiling above his head, and a lot of rubble fell. "Disciple, you can try to mobilize the feeling of spiritual power and use the low-level exercises that you have already mastered. ”

Xiao Shan immediately entered meditation, recalled every detail of Fang Cai, and after thinking about it, he stood up and played the military body boxing that he had practiced since he was a child. "Congratulations to the apprentice for being able to use his spiritual power for the first time. ”

For Xiaoshan's three bows and nine knocks, Zhao Laodao did not avoid it, and directly accepted it. As soon as the Yin Crossing Treasure Scroll arrived, it turned into a ray of light and shot into the sea of knowledge!

"I understand that someone will definitely want to kill me in the future, so the master taught me to use poison, in fact, he was afraid that I would be poisoned to death!"

"Yes, there are many ways to kill people, but the most convenient and least noticeable one is to use poison. Zhao Tianqi put it on the top of Xiao Shan's head and touched it lightly, "Walking the rivers and lakes, the first step is this knowledge, to ensure that no one will be able to poison the food in the future and poison you, of course, you must learn to use poison and dispense medicine, this is the same, even if you are accidentally poisoned, you can also be treated." ”

Xiao Shan has been in the cave for 3 years, at the beginning, he taught the method of running the big and small Zhou Tian, and then for two consecutive years, he was drawing talismans, refining medicine, and learning the exercises on the Yin Treasure Scroll.

In the past three years, Xiaoshan has never slacked off in practice, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, in addition to practicing the physical skills of the army taught by his father, he also practiced the martial arts on the stone wall. In addition to that, it is to meditate every day to absorb qi into the body. The Qi training period has entered the peak of the day after tomorrow.

If he breaks through again, he can reach the innate realm, and the innate realm is the watershed between martial artists and cultivators, that is to say, he is only one step away from cultivating the truth.

Xiao Shan took the cheats in Zhao Tianqi's hand, he had always been curious about these mysterious cheats, and now he could finally see them with his own eyes.

Taking over the cheats in Zhao Tianqi's hand, Xiao Shan couldn't wait to pick out a copy of the Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra, ignored the funny cover on it, and directly opened it and studied it carefully.

Open the cheats, and the drawings in it are just some simple strokes that I don't know what to see, or vertical or hooked, which is just a children's graffiti-like joke in the eyes of ordinary people.

But Xiao Shan saw some differences from these few strokes, the charm of some peerless sword moves, and this stroke was like a move sword momentum unfolding in the drawing.

Strange to say, although these strokes are simple and blank, in Xiao Shan's view, they are more like those gods and gods in ancient Chinese mythology, and the incomparably mysterious techniques.

Because these moves don't seem to have detailed sword moves, they just explain some esoteric things to him.

Xiao Shan flipped through the pages one by one and found that there were only nine extremely simple pictures in this secret book, and each picture seemed to describe some spiritual conception to him, and the way of the sword was also mixed with some other mystical martial arts.

Xiao Shan seems to understand whether he understands or not, this is not just a simple sword, but a Tao.

These pictures contain a trace of Taoist rhyme, as long as the artistic conception is reached, he can comprehend his own kendo from it.

But there are so few of these martial arts that it is almost impossible to deduce the entire cheats from them according to this trace of martial arts charm.

This is like a master who has seen the dragon call the wind and rain, he relied on his own understanding to draw a few lines on the blank rice paper that is not even an outline, although it has charm, but it is impossible to show people the true appearance of the dragon god.

Xiao Shan guessed that this was simply the product of Zhao Tianqi seeing others use the Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra and comprehending the truth of martial arts from it, and then describing it with strokes according to his own understanding.

That's why there is so little Taoist rhyme in this, but there is a trace of extremely mysterious kendo charm, because Zhao Tianqi only knows these, or he can't fully express them through strokes.

Some things can only be understood but not spoken, and even if the magical Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra is taught by a master, it may not be able to comprehend and learn!

He must have seen the real Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra, but he was not the descendant of the Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra after all, how could he see through all the mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Sword Sutra by seeing others perform it a few times.
