Volume 1 The Past Chapter 9 The Way of the Kendo

After returning from the tomb of Wang Chengyan's mother, a few days have passed, and Ling Xing has not instructed Wang Chengyan in the past few days, and Wang Chengyan is already a foundation building monk at this time.

In just five years, perhaps only Ling Xing can teach such a disciple, from the beginning to the achievement of building a foundation in five years, without pretending to be a foreign object, who else in the world can do it?

The entire cultivation world is now refining pills, in order to quickly break through the realm with the help of the power of pills.

"Yan'er, do you know? The teacher originally embarked on a fork in the road of cultivation, and the teacher didn't want you to embark on the path of being a teacher, so the teacher advised you to take less pills. One day five years ago, Ling Xing said to Wang Chengyan.

"Master, why did you let Yan'er take less pills? Isn't the pills able to quickly increase cultivation?" Wang Chengyan had improved his horizons a lot through the books brought by Ling Huizi and the usual conversations with the two old men, and he had already understood many common senses and secrets of the cultivation world.

"The fork in the road that the teacher just said is that he has taken too many pills, and the pills are indeed miraculous for the rapid improvement of cultivation, but the pills are not harmless for the teacher. Speaking of this, Ling Xing stopped and looked at Wang Chengyan.

"After all, the pill is a foreign object, and the cultivation has to rely on one's own body, the pill is to change the flow of spiritual power in our body to speed up the speed of our introduction of spiritual energy, so that we can quickly increase our cultivation, in the process of taking the pill, our body has been changed by the pill. ”

"Master, isn't there anything wrong with this? After taking the pill, the body becomes stronger, isn't it good?" Wang Chengyan asked.

"On the surface, people have indeed been transformed by the pill to become stronger, but how long can this change last? I don't know if I am a teacher, and I am afraid that others do not know about it, in short, if you do what you say as a teacher, you practice, practice, and rely on your own body. ”

"Yan'er understands, I will try not to take pills in the future. Wang Chengyan replied honestly.

Along the way, Wang Chengyan finally achieved the foundation without taking the pill, although it was not long, but it began to appear.

If Qi cultivation is barely a cultivator, then Zhuji is a real cultivator.

When practicing qi, people can't use magic weapons, but they can use talismans and five element spells, because the five elements spells don't need much spiritual power to support.

As early as when practicing qi, the old Taoist spirit Huizi taught Wang Chengyan the Five Elements Technique and the talisman method, Wang Chengyan is quite talented in the Five Elements Technique and talisman making, in just one year, it has been a mathematical understanding, which caused the two old men to be surprised.

In the days after learning the Five Elements Technique, Wang Chengyan couldn't wait to try the power of the spell, so the low-level demons and monsters around him suffered, and Wang Chengyan must have taken a detour when he saw this kind of magic in the past.

Wang Chengyan often tested his spells by fighting against low-level demons and monsters, and it was inevitable that he would be injured in the process of testing, but Ling Xing never asked.

However, what Wang Chengyan didn't expect was that every time he fought against some low-level demons and monsters with the same strength as himself, his spiritual intelligence was not high, and behind him, there was always a figure hidden that he had never discovered.

That figure is Ling Huizi, in fact, Ling Huizi loves Wang Chengyan very much, and like Ling Xing, both of them regard him as their disciple, but the way they love him is different.

Today, Ling Xing came to Wang Chengyan, who was about to cultivate after retrieving the Ghost Crying Stone, Wang Chengyan also noticed his arrival, and he just wanted to get up, but was stopped by Ling Xing waving his hand.

"No need to salute, no need for too much etiquette between master and apprentice, continue to sit. As soon as the words fell, Ling Xing sat on the futon opposite Wang Chengyan.

"Yan'er, you are already a foundation building cultivator, do you have any insights in the cultivation process from Qi cultivation to foundation building?"

"Master, Yan'er feels that Qi cultivation cannot be regarded as a real cultivator, because the spiritual power contained in the Qi cultivation cultivator itself is too little, and it is even impossible to exert magical powers. After Wang Chengyan said this, Ling Xing nodded, and then motioned for him to continue.

"Practicing qi is like creating water mist, the formation of water mist is either too cold or too hot, in short, if water mist wants to be formed continuously, it needs cold or heat to act continuously, in the same way, the aura in the body wants to become condensed, or even become spiritual liquid, it is also necessary to continue to condense. ”

After Wang Chengyan said this, Ling Xing nodded again, which could be regarded as approval.

"Well, you're right, but there's a little bit of a omission. Ling Xing continued.

"Master, what did I miss?"

"Have you ever wondered why a foundation building monk can use his supernatural powers, but a qi cultivator can't? Because the foundation building monk's dantian has spiritual fluid, not spiritual energy, and besides, the foundation building monk's divine sense is far more powerful than that of a qi cultivation monk. ”

"When a monk advances, the greatest manifestation is the change of spiritual power contained in the body, and then the divine consciousness and physical strength. ”

"And in the process of advancement, there is no doubt that the big realm is far more difficult and more dangerous than the small realm, because every time the small realm advances is just a quantitative change, the large realm advancement is a qualitative change, without quantitative change, there is no qualitative change, and quantitative change is the preparation for qualitative change. ”

"Master, Yan'er understands, it's Yan'er who is shallow, but only pays attention to the changes in the realm, but does not fully understand its essence. ”

"It's really gratifying that you can achieve such an achievement at this age, but there is a heaven outside the sky, don't be complacent, rest on your laurels, the path of cultivation is endless, as the teacher has always thought so. ”

"Yes, Yan'er remembers the teachings of the master!"

"Yan'er, now that you have reached the realm of foundation building, it is time to learn some divine channel methods, for the teacher is good at kendo and casting, as a teacher, I will teach you the sword way of saving your life first. Ling Xing said his last purpose today.

"Master, I'm ...... But I've never seen my master use a sword, and I don't have a sword. Wang Chengyan was a little unconvinced.

"Well, it's the teacher's negligence, tomorrow, the teacher will build a sword for you. When Ling Xing heard this, he was embarrassed.

"Okay, let's talk to you about the sword for the teacher. ”

"The sword is a weapon for the world, and it is also a weapon for the monk, but the sword of the monk is much more complicated than the sword of the world. ”

"Why is this? Couldn't the worldly people use the sword of a cultivator?" Wang Chengyan said curiously, although he had read many books, he had not noticed this.

"Of course it's different, for example, you, now that you have opened the valley, you don't need to eat the food of the world, the sword of the world's people is only made of ordinary materials, and the sword of the cultivator must be made of spiritual objects, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the oppression of our spiritual power. ”

"The most important thing about the sword is to use one's own spiritual power to cultivate, so that the resulting sword will be in line with our hearts and become our natal thing; the snatched sword looks easy to use, but it also has shortcomings, that is, it is not my natal sword, it cannot achieve the harmony of the mind, and when fighting, the risk is extremely high, and it may give the opponent a chance to take advantage of. ”

"Master, how can I have my own natal thing?"

"That's a good question, the natal thing must correspond to your own spiritual root attributes, like the teacher, the original natal thing is the sword of the five elements, your natal thing is in addition to the water attribute, other attributes can be, because you lack the water spiritual root. ”

"The natal thing needs to be found by yourself, or someone else helps to build, and then put it in your own dantian to cultivate, only the items that have been cultivated by your own mind can become your own natal thing, and the natal thing can only have one thing at the same time in a lifetime, if it is destroyed, it will implicate your own vitality and damage it, and it will take a lot of effort to cultivate it if you rebuild, so you must be cautious when choosing!"

As if seeing Wang Chengyan's puzzled look, Ling Xing explained in detail.

"Since Master's natal thing is a sword, then my natal thing should also choose a sword. Wang Chengyan said firmly.

"Well, let's talk to you about the realm of kendo for the teacher. ”

"Is the way of the sword as realm as the way of cultivation?" Wang Chengyan interrupted.

"Yes, moreover, kendo is not much better than the way of cultivation, and even surpasses it. ”

"The way of the sword, the lower one, is like the worldly people competing for brute force moves, the middle one, the competition is the Taoist supernatural power, the upper one, the competition is the cultivation of the spirit, and later, the teacher can't think of it for the time being. ”

"This ...... I see that there are a lot of things that I don't understand, so why don't I tell me that there is anything I don't understand, and I'll ask again?" Wang Chengyan couldn't help but ask when he heard that Ling Xing said that he didn't understand something.

"Well, things in the world are too complicated, no one can understand everything, it's not surprising that a teacher doesn't understand, you don't have to look at a teacher with suspicion, well, that's it. Ling Xing was a little embarrassed by the question.

"The current realm of the teacher is only the one who has reached the middle, so what can teach you is only some fur, and there is also the truth of being a man, and then you have to find it yourself, Yan'er. Speaking of this, Ling Xing became serious again.

"Okay, let's get to the point, Yan'er, you're right. After Ling Xing finished speaking, he stood up.

He walked slowly to the edge of the woods on the west side of the grass house, and then slowly walked back, and the others made it to the futon, and he said to Wang Chengyan: "Yan'er, go and see how the place where you have just walked as a teacher is different from other places. ”

As he said, Wang Chengyan walked along the road he had just walked, and carefully observed the changes in the way he came, and finally, Wang Chengyan stopped at the edge of the forest.

"Did you find it?" Ling Xing asked, sitting on the futon.

"Master, Yan'er is stupid and can't see anything. Wang Chengyan replied honestly, he really couldn't see anything.

"You really can't see it, because you didn't do anything for the teacher just now, and you have also restrained your own breath!"

"Ah...... Why is this?Master, why are you teasing Yan'er?" Wang Chengyan said dissatisfied.

"It's not a joke, you can take a look at the road you and your old friend Linghuizi have walked in the past, and then take a look!" Ling Xing said.
