Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ascension

On the surface, Li Fan's realm of Gewu has become complete, but he is not satisfied.

Gewu and Zhizhi have been the subject of endless debate among Confucian students in the mortal world for thousands of years, and it is very difficult to explain clearly.

However, the realm of things and the realm of enlightenment are the initial stages of Li Fan's cultivation as a reader, and they are also the foundation of the cultivation of the sincerity realm and the positive state of mind in the future. Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, and whether the cultivation of the Gewu Realm is solid or not determines the height that Li Fan's cultivation can reach in the future. Therefore, Li Fan was determined to strive to transcend the depth of Confucian thought in the mortal world in the cultivation of the realm of things, and face the mystical knowledge of cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao. He knew that the path of cultivation was broad and profound, and if he did not analyze it in depth, it would be very difficult to comprehend the original meaning in it.

However, in order to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, Li Fan had to come up with a quick solution. For this reason, he gave up the aimless "Gewu" and decided to concentrate all his energy and give priority to exploring the truth about cultivating immortals and refining qi in the cultivation realm of Zhao Guo.

Even so, in just four years, it was extremely difficult for the Gewu Realm to take the lead in cultivating immortals to reach the consummation realm.

How did he do it?

......

......

In fact, when vigorously promoting the Reverse Immortal Building and the Reverse Immortal Card, Li Fan warned everyone that making money for spirit stones was only a secondary purpose.

The main purpose is to use their promotion to systematically study the relevant things in the Zhao State Cultivation Realm.

Therefore, Li Fan deliberately emphasized to the members of the Nine Immortal Rebellion Books that they must attach great importance to Gewu in the process of promotion, so as to obtain the principles of various things in the cultivation realm, promote the comprehension of cultivation, and promote the improvement of the level of cultivation.

It's a pity that the members of the Xian Rebellion Book Club often study things for the sake of Gewu, and they don't even understand what Gewu is, so they only stay on many theories and stories about Gewu, which leads to everyone's promotion speed is very slow.

Li Fan clearly remembers the lively scene when everyone discussed Gewu for the first time in the monthly gathering.

Li Fan first raised a question: "Through the cultivation and exploration in the early stage, now please answer your views on 'Gewu'. There are two questions here, one is what is the grid, and the other is how to get the grid. ”

Li Xiyu was the first to reply: "Ge means exhaustion, and things mean all things. “

The crowd applauded. Li Fan said with a smile: "Li Xiyu is quick to speak, she really deserves to be a hot mother, and she analyzes it very well." “

Li Xiyu pursed her lips and said nonchalantly: "This is not what I realized after entering the world of immortal rebellion, but my father taught me when I was very young, he is a middle school Chinese teacher, and there are relevant texts in the textbook. “

Luo Yan also replied: "I'll also pick up people's teeth." Wang Yangming is an idealist who interprets 'Ge' as 'correction' and 'things' as 'things', and things cannot exist apart from the heart. In his view, the existence of things is manifested as the existence of meaning, it exists because of me, exists for me, there is nothing without self, things are things in the heart, and objective things that have not entered the heart cannot be called things. Therefore, Wang Yangming's 'Gewu' can be interpreted as 'removing evil for good', that is, removing the unrighteousness of people's hearts and restoring them to righteousness, and Gewu is 'Gexin'. “

Wang Rui also spoke actively: "I know a story about Wang Yangming who forgot to sleep and eat 'Ge Bamboo' and meditated for seven days and nights......

Li Fan hurriedly stopped: "This story is not a household name, at least it is widely circulated on the Internet, so don't discuss it here." What Li Xiyu said just now is very good, Luo Yan's beauty added it in a timely manner, and the story Wang Rui wants to tell is also very classic, everyone's opinions are similar and complement each other. Let me sum up, Zhu Xi's 'Gewu' is a process of inquiring outward and exhausting the truth of things, while Wang Yangming's 'Gewu' is a process of working on 'Gexin' and introspective. In short, whether it is outward rational exploration or inward subjective realization, their value pursuit is the same, and in the end, they are all in order to become saints and gentlemen. But...... The 'Gewu' that we are going to discuss today is completely different from them in terms of purpose, and what we want to explore here is neither materialistic or idealistic philosophical issues, nor life issues such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, but various practical problems encountered in the process of cultivating truth. Because, our ultimate goal is to improve our cultivation and cultivate immortals. “

Wang Kai said: "I know. We are doing things in the cultivation realm, just like Li Shizhen is doing things in the medical world. Li Shizhen is from my hometown of Qichun, Hubei, and he disdains to learn the empty and boring Baguwen. After failing to take the examination three times, he gave up his plan to become an official in the imperial examination and concentrated on studying medicine. Li Shizhen knows that "reading thousands of books" is necessary, but "traveling thousands of miles" is even more indispensable. Therefore, he not only "collected hundreds of clans" but also "interviewed the Quartet" to conduct in-depth investigations. He traveled far into the mountains and wilderness for a long time, visited famous doctors and Confucians, searched for folk prescriptions, and observed and collected drug specimens...... In the end, he figured out many difficult problems in drugs and completed the 2 million-word pharmacological masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica...... If you pass by Qichun County, you can still see the statue of Li Shizhen. “

Li Fan said with a smile: "Wang Kai has a good understanding, and the advertising for his hometown is also very good." However, in view of your poor performance, I would like to announce a new mission. “

......

......

The members would only talk on paper, and Li Fan had to find another way.

Just now, he had an idea and came up with a great idea.

Li Fan's plan was to bundle the promotion of the "fixed amount" of the Reverse Immortal Card with the improvement of the cultivator's "Gewu Realm".

Specifically, in the process of promoting and using the Reverse Immortal Card, applicants or cardholders of the Reverse Immortal Card can be provided with an opportunity to increase the quota and upgrade the level of the Reverse Immortal Card for free.

Of course, there are conditions for increasing the amount or leveling up. Cardholders who apply for promotion must answer a question based on their own cultivation perceptions: "Please talk about how you comprehended the path of cultivation based on the reality in the cultivation process." "If you answer well, you can increase the quota, especially if you not only increase the quota, but also increase the level of the Reverse Immortal Card!

The increase in the amount is already quite powerful, and the level increase is even more valuable.

Therefore, applicants flock to it, and the results of answering questions are also wonderful.

......

......

In this way, stimulated by increasing the quota or level, the cultivators of the Zhao Kingdom participated in the big discussion of the issue of "Gewu".

Of course, Li Fan's move had almost no losses, and it killed two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, he and his team gained valuable experience and valuable information from the answers of many applicants, which greatly improved their enlightenment ability and actual cultivation level.

On the other hand, the best in answering questions is also a promising future star nine times out of ten, give them some quotas, improve the level of the Reverse Immortal Card, and better show the vision and mind of the Reverse Immortal Building, why not?

In this way, Li Fan's realm of "Gewu" was rapidly improved, and he finally reached the realm of the Great Perfection ahead of schedule! The great consummation of the Reader's Gewu realm corresponds to the great consummation of the Qi Condensation Period in the world of immortal rebellion, and the realm of the fifteenth layer of condensation!!

At the same time, the realms of the other Immortal Rebellion Society members have also generally been rapidly improved, and they have basically reached about the tenth layer of condensation. For example, Wang Kai of the Hehuan Sect has hit the rookie wall.

Of course, Li Fan also realized the one-sidedness of the current Gewu, and felt that his real Gewu level was far from being perfect, only two or three percent at most, so he should keep a low profile.

Strange to say, as soon as Li Fan's mind moved, the reader's realm was automatically hidden, revealing only the appearance of three layers of condensation......
