Chapter Seventy-Nine: Pear Blossom White
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the cultivation realm is a different kind of rivers and lakes. Some people struggle at the bottom, some people are at ease at the high-end, but more people are trying to climb and compete for the first place in the middle level.
With the high elimination rate of the cultivation realm, each realm needs to do the best it can do, otherwise it will cut off the possibility of advancing to the next stage.
You can't lose at the beginning, this is the consensus of many cultivators, so as an important stage of promotion from a low-level monk to an intermediate monk, the foundation building period, is very interesting.
Building a foundation, also known as "climbing the ladder", as the name suggests, is the meaning of laying a good foundation, only at this stage to lay a good foundation, in order to climb the stairs step by step, embark on a road to the sky!
Before the foundation building period, the monk's combat power is not necessarily higher than that of ordinary people, and the monk at this stage can greatly improve his attack power with the help of some charms and magic weapons, but because the body has not been tempered enough, in addition to being brighter than ordinary people and lighter in body, he is not even as powerful as a real martial arts master in terms of reaction speed and body control.
If a monk and martial arts master in the Qi refining period and before the realm make a move, unless he strikes first, the lengthy preparation time for releasing spells and magic weapons is enough for the martial arts master to make a few moves, and before the monk can make a big move, he will be killed by the other party in seconds.
But after the monk crosses the threshold of foundation building, the monk's physical body and combat power will be greatly improved, and he can completely suppress the martial arts master, and then he can truly embark on the road of cultivating immortals.
The process of building the foundation is the process of refining the body and condensing the essence of the power of the true element, the changes in the physical body are very obvious, the reaction speed and muscle strength of the body have far surpassed the martial arts master, at this time, the so-called martial arts is just a joke in front of the cultivator.
When an ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivator reaches the sixth level or above of Qi Training, he can try to take the Foundation Building Pill to advance, even if he only has the minimum threshold realm of the sixth layer of Qi Training, it is possible to successfully build a cloud platform on the Sea of True Yuan Qi, and the achievement of the cloud platform is equivalent to the start of the cultivation of the foundation building period.
All the monks knew that the more and bigger the True Lake and Qi Sea condensed during the Qi Refining Period, the higher the future potential and actual combat power, but often limited by their own qualifications, exercises, and chances, most of the monks were in the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, and after the formation of the first Qi Sea, they chose to rush to the Foundation Building Period.
Although the strength of the monks who built the foundation in this way was much inferior to that of the monks of the same level, after all, the cultivation realm was a big realm higher, and it was more than enough to crush the monks of the Qi refining period.
However, the price paid for building a foundation in this way was too great, the foundation was too thin, and the ladder was too short to take a step forward, and it also announced that the monk would not have a chance to live with the next realm in this life, and even Yangshou was only three hundred years.
And a small number of more aspiring Qi Refining Stage cultivators will try to break through the Foundation Building Period after reaching the seventh, eighty, and ninth layers of the Qi Cultivation Period, these seven, eighty, and ninth layer Qi Refining Stage cultivators can take ordinary Tsukidan, but if there is a more advanced Tsukidan, it will make their future potential greater.
At present, there are three types of high-level Zhuji Dan that are popular in the cultivation realm, namely "Heavenly Zhudan", "Earth Zhudan" and "Human Zhudan".
These three kinds of Zhuji Dan are refined by adding a wisp of "Three Talents Qi" when refining.
Three talents: refers to heaven, earth, and man. The words of "Yi Chuan: Department of Resignation": "There is heaven, there is humanity, and there is earth. ”
The three talents are the heavens, the earth, the people, the heavenly stem represents the heavenly machine road, the earth branch represents the earth vein road, and the Tibetan stem represents the human road.
The essence of the Daomen's idea of "three beings and all things" is the idea that three talents give birth to all things.
Therefore, these three kinds of Zhuji Dan, which have smelted the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Qi of Earth Fortune, and the power of human mind, are more likely to make cultivators feel the power beyond the mundane, and lay a solid foundation for advancing to the Jindan stage in the future.
The Dan recipe and refining method of Zhuji Dan have been passed down for a long time, and the heaven-level, earth-level, and Xuan-level sects can basically refine Zhuji Dan by themselves, but the three-talent Zhuji Dan needs to add the three powers of heaven, earth and man, and only a very small number of heaven-level sects can refine it.
Because the quantity is scarce and not circulated in the world, every time the Sancai Zhuji Dan appears, it will cause the monks to rob them like crazy, and it is indeed difficult to find a Dan.
Especially after the cultivation forces became more and more secularized, a large number of cultivation resources were in the hands of the official, if their own sect was not strong enough and wanted to take a smooth path of cultivation, then they could only swear allegiance to the royal family and obtain their own opportunities from the cultivation resources provided by the imperial family.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, according to the practice of the imperial court, the Yundian Provincial Daolu Division will hold a foundation building conference once every ten years, which is a benefit given by the Great Song Dynasty royal family to the imperial court sects.
There are five basic participation places for heaven-level sects, three prefecture-level sects, two Xuan-level sects, and one yellow-level sect.
The foundation building conference of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces set up a total of seven awards, the first place was awarded a 'Tianzhu Dan', the second and third prizes were awarded a 'Earth Zhudan', the fourth to seventh was rewarded with a 'Ren Zhudan', and the rest of the contestants could get an ordinary Zhuji Dan.
If you win the Tianzhu Dan in this conference, you will add three additional places for the next competition for your sect, two additional places for the Earth Zhudan, and one additional place for the Renzhu Dan.
As an upstart in the Imperial Family Cultivation Alliance, the Xuanji faction is of course also qualified to participate in this conference, but the time they have joined the alliance is too short, so there is only one place in this foundation building conference, but fortunately, the Xuanji faction currently needs only Tianhuo to build a foundation with three talents.
Because the foundation building conference is not only related to whether the contestants themselves can obtain the three talents of Tsukidan, but also directly related to the number of participants in the next conference, and the number of people means that the number of people will be formed in the competition, and the chance of obtaining the three talents of Tsukidan will be greatly increased.
Therefore, each sect of the Imperial Family Cultivation Alliance attaches great importance to the foundation building conference once every ten years, and each player selected to participate in the competition is the most outstanding Qi refining stage disciple in the sect.
Even some sects, in order to get the quota for the competition and the three talents to build the foundation pill, will let some genius disciples who have already reached the peak of the qi refining period suppress the cultivation realm and not advance, and wait until the competition is over to advance.
The number of Xiuzhen sects in the Imperial Alliance of Yunnan and Yunnan provinces is not very large, there is only one heaven-level sect, seven prefecture-level sects, twenty-two Xuan-level sects, and ninety-seven yellow-level sects, resulting in one hundred and sixty-six participating places, plus eleven additional places in the previous session, for a total of one hundred and seventy-seven participating places.
And these one hundred and seventy-seven people are the most outstanding Qi refining period cultivators in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and they are also a window to test the future potential of each sect, so each sect attaches great importance to it and selects the best disciples to participate, demonstrating the strength of the sect.
The Qi Refining Stage disciples of other sects all had to participate in the selection competition within the sect, and the fight was in full swing, but the Xuanji Sect only had one Qi Cultivation Stage disciple, Tianhuo, and naturally ended up relaxed.
As for his strength, everyone is not worried at all, no matter who has seen the terrifying scene of Tianhuo when he was promoted, he will not worry about him, but he needs to feel sorry for his opponent, this kind of game with a huge difference in strength is like cheating.
Tianhuo didn't have any nervous preparation mood, and even stopped cultivating these days, because Tianhuo had already broken through to the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and if he didn't suppress the realm, he was afraid that he would be able to break through on his own without Zhuji Dan.
This breakthrough was purely accidental, a dinner party on Xuanji Mountain on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was in high spirits, and by the way, Tianhuo's sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony was held, which made Tianhuo very surprised.
As an adult, the first thing to try is naturally drinking, every time I see the senior brothers drinking so happily, Tianhuo is very envious, but every time I want to try, the senior brothers either hand over sour plum soup or honey water, or simply juice.
When Tianhuo proposed to drink this time, the senior brothers immediately became excited and helped him remove the juice on the table, and the second senior brother Su Xing asked excitedly: "Little junior brother, do you want to drink rice wine or white wine?"
Tianhuo said magnificently: "Of course it's liquor, the rice wine is sweet and sour, and it's not intoxicating if you drink too much, I just want to taste the liquor, just drink the pear blossom white that you often drink!"
Senior Brother Tie Yumo came over and touched Tianhuo's head dotingly: "Hehe, the little junior brother still knows that the pear blossoms are white, it's not easy!"
Tianhuo forcefully swept away the senior brother's hand and said, "Senior brother, I am already an adult today, you are not allowed to treat me as a child anymore, touch my head indiscriminately, you have to touch Tianyi and their heads." ”
Tianzi Liuxiao's eyes immediately lit up, these six children were all orphans, and they didn't have any relatives in the world, so they naturally regarded the Xuanji faction as their own home, and respected their masters Tie Yumo and Su Xing as their fathers.
But Su Xing is a little cynical, not like a serious father, and Tie Yumo is steady, generous, and can give people a sense of security, so Tianzi Liuxiao hopes to be favored by Tie Yumo.
Tie Yumo saw the longing eyes of the six little ones, so he walked over and touched their heads one by one, which made them excited.
According to the practice of previous years, Xuanjizi distributed red envelopes to the disciples and grandchildren, and even the four major spiritual weapons and Master Zhao had red envelopes.
That night, the banquet of the Xuanji faction had a warm atmosphere and a variety of programs, and everyone was very happy and let go of the fun.
Tianhuo had no experience in drinking pear blossom white for the first time, Su Xing poured a large cup for him, Tianhuo dried it down, and immediately felt a stream of heat spurting out of his esophagus, but there was a cold, extremely spicy feeling in his mouth.
Tianhuo couldn't help but spew out, but Su Xing hurriedly covered Tianhuo's mouth and patted him on the back a few times, allowing the wine to go down Tianhuo's stomach smoothly.
After Su Xing let go of his hand, Tianhuo's spicy tears came out, and he shouted: "Second Senior Brother, is this Pear Blossom White? Isn't this medicine? Or is it a bowl of chili water? It's so unpalatable, why do you like to drink such a bad thing?"
The senior brothers of Tianhuo all laughed, and you teased me every word.
"Little junior brother, you don't know that we usually drink chili water. ”
"Little junior brother, this is the taste of liquor, you have just been weaned, so naturally you are not used to drinking it!"
"Little junior brother, let's change the juice for you, these twenty taels of silver for a pot of pear blossoms for you to drink, it's a waste of silver. ”
“......”
Tianhuo naturally couldn't stand this kind of ridicule, and decided to try it again, and sure enough, the second cup was not so bad.
Although it is still very spicy, the sweetness left on the tongue is gradually revealed, and there is a faint fragrance of pear blossoms.
Tianhuo's frowning brows relaxed, it seemed that the pear blossom white was not so unpleasant, and then asked the second senior brother to pour him a third, fourth, and fifth......
Soon Tianhuo drank too much, all kinds of drunken madness and foreign appearances, and under his drive, all the disciples of the Xuanji faction who drank drank freely, including Xuanjizi.
This year, the Xuanji faction has changed too much, from a small sect that does not enter the stream, to a Xuan-level sect, and acts as an agent for the nineteen princes' cultivation trade business in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, which has laid the foundation for the future heaven-level sect.
And every Xuanji Sect disciple is a beneficiary, and in this year, no matter how much cultivation, knowledge, and vision have improved a lot!
Growing up is happy, following the pace of the sect and growing up with the best brothers and sisters is a happier thing!
That night, except for the Tianzi Six Elementary School, all the disciples of the Xuanji Sect were drunk and unconscious.
And Tianhuo was in a drunken state, and he didn't control the power of the True Yuan, and the Seven Martial Seas were formed, and the twelve-layer Qi cultivation period was naturally achieved.
