"In fact, this era is the most unsuitable era for cultivation, when it is the end of the law, practice, and almost cut off the way forward, it is easy to say before, but to break through to the legendary realm of qi refining, it is difficult, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the monks of the realm of qi refining have been almost extinct in the world, and there are only two people who have really come, one is my Quanzhen Patriarch Chongyang Patriarch, and the other is Wudang's Sanfeng Zhenren..."

In the living room, the two sat down, Yuyangzi said slowly, and told Zhou Shaojin about the current cultivation situation, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the weather aura has dried up, and the earth is no longer suitable for cultivators, the realm before refining qi is okay, the stage of refining and refining qi, as long as you refine the essence in the body, there are exercises for cultivation, and there are enough qualifications, this stage is still possible, but if you want to break through to the realm of qi refining, you can't.

The realm of qi refining opens up the sea of qi in the body and communicates the aura of heaven and earth, but in today's earth, the aura is exhausted, how can there be any aura, so if you want to set foot in the realm of qi refining, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, according to Yuyangzi, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, only the Quanzhen Patriarch Wang Chongyang and the Wudang Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng have broken through to the realm of qi refining.

"By now, the path of cultivation has long since declined, there are very few true cultivators, and the cultivators who have achieved success in their studies are even more one in a million, if this continues for a long time, I am afraid that it is not impossible for cultivators to disappear from the earth. ”

Yu Yangzi also told Zhou Shaojin about the cultivation situation on the earth now, and there are fewer and fewer cultivators.

"Is it because of the end of the law era?" Zhou Shaojin asked.

"This is the main reason, we cultivators, the pursuit is nothing more than two kinds, one is to gain strong strength, the other is to live forever, but now, the end of heaven and earth, the realm of qi refining is like a moat, difficult to cross, not to mention longevity, it is tantamount to a pavilion in the air, the bright moon in the water, out of reach, not to mention the powerful power, before the realm of qi refining, even if you become a master of the transformation of strength, after all, it belongs to the category of people, in this era, hot weapons are rampant, this strength is not enough to see, even the transformation of the strength of the master can not use flesh and blood to resist the gun。 ”

"In addition, the path of cultivation depends on talent and perseverance, in this era, people who believe in cultivation are not one, even if some believe, they may not be willing to endure hardships and practice, after all, in this era, even if they are successful in cultivation, it is difficult to cross the moat and set foot in the realm of qi refining, and they can't set foot in qi refining, and they are just a mortal, they can't increase their longevity, and they can't ignore guns, in this case, how many people are willing to practice...."

"And the years have washed the sand, and now, many cultivation methods have long been interrupted in the long river of time, the methods of foundation building have not been recorded in too much detail and profound, and the cultivation methods above the qi refining have almost been cut off..."

Yu Yangzi opened his mouth and told Zhou Shaojin about the current cultivation situation on the earth, the end of heaven and earth is undoubtedly the most important reason for the decline of cultivators, and in the long history, many cultivation methods have also been lost, that is, the methods of refining qi are almost cut off, only the "Innate Gong" left by Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect and the "Tai Chi Sutra" left by Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang back then!

"Innate Gong" and "Tai Chi Sutra" are both methods that directly point to the realm of qi refining, which can make people cultivate to the realm of qi refining, but there is no record of how to practice after breaking through to the realm of qi refining, because Wang Chongyang and Zhang Sanfeng only passed away after breaking through the realm of qi refining, and they could not break through to a higher realm.

"The end of heaven and earth, the Great Dao is hard to find, and this era is not suitable for us cultivators. ”

Yu Yangzi sighed lightly, Zhou Shaojin nodded approvingly, indeed, today's earth, not only is it too difficult to magic, and it is difficult to achieve success in cultivation, and today's era is also rampant with scientific and technological hot weapons, and it is not very friendly to cultivation, it can be said that in such an era, the decline of cultivation is almost inevitable.

"Are there any sects in the cultivation world today?"

Zhou Shaojin asked again, asking a question that he was most concerned about now, how are the current cultivation sects on the earth.

"Now our Chinese cultivation circles, there are mainly two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhism has four mountains, namely Wutai Mountain, Fanjing Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, and it is also the main four practice places of Buddhism today, and there are five main sects of Taoism, Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao, Emei School of Emei Mountain, and Wudang School of Wudang Mountain. ”

"There is also the Maoshan faction, but the Maoshan faction is divided into two factions, the north faction Maoshan is the founder of Maoshan, the southern faction Maoshan lives in Luofu Mountain, and later splits out of the faction, although the two factions are both Maoshan, but the relationship is not harmonious, which involves the grievances of many years ago, the northern Maoshan has always regarded the southern Maoshan as a traitor, and the southern Maoshan has no good impression of the northern Maoshan....."

Yuyangzi told Zhou Shaojin about the north and south Maoshan mountains, but he didn't say much about the specific grievances.

"The last faction is our Zhongnanshan Quanzhen Sect. ”

"In general, our Chinese practice can be divided into four mountains of Buddhism and five sects of Taoism, but it is not that there are only nine sects in China today, but now our nine sects are the largest on the surface, in fact, there are some sects below, but the reputation is not obvious, such as the Laoshan faction, which is also one of our Taoist sects, although the Laoshan sect has always been famous, but the history is long, and there are also some sects and practitioners who may practice in seclusion. ”

"In addition to these, there is a vein of chasing corpses in Xiangxi, and the Miao Jiang Gu technique is prevalent..."

"Although it is now the end of the Fa and the practice is declining, there are still some practitioners, but most of them are not known, especially ordinary people, in addition to our China, Japan has Onmyoji, Indian Brahmins, and evil arts such as heads and blood spells are prevalent in the Nanyang area.."

"But these places are all sideways, and they are far from being comparable to us. ”

"Now in the cultivation world, the strength is roughly divided into three levels, bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy! Ming Jin refines qi and blood, dark energy opens up the two veins of Ren Du, and turns energy through the muscles and veins of the whole body, and the power is mixed, but now that the cultivation is declining, as long as the cultivators who have reached the cultivation of Ming Jin are considered to be masters, most people are only fists and feet, and there are very few masters of dark energy, each of which can be called a master. The Baiyun head of the Wudang Sect and the dustless head of my Quanzhen Sect, these three people are the highest cultivation in my cultivation world today, but these three realms are only the division of the current cultivation world, according to ancient records, in the past, these realms were only the first realm foundation for cultivators. ”

Speaking of this, Yuyangzi couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaojin again.

"Daoist friends are so young to open up the second vein of Ren Du and step into the dark energy, and in the future, he is destined to open up the meridians of the whole body, the grandmaster can be expected, and it may even become another real person in my cultivation world to step into the realm of qi refining after Zhang Zhenren. ”

Daoyou Miao praised. ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled slightly, but he was noncommittal to Yuyangzi's words in his heart, what he pursued was not just as simple as refining qi, but immortality, it was the way of immortals, although it was like the end of the law today, but there was an order of impermanence, he had a broad road to the path of immortals, and from cultivation to the current breakthrough of foundation building, it only took him more than a month, of course, Zhou Shaojin also knew that the reason why he was so much was completely because of the ancient order of impermanence, first the origin of the Dan to reshape the body, and then the Zhuji Dan to assist in cultivation, these are all things that Yuyangzi and other cultivators cannot have now。

"Daoyou don't need to be too humble, as far as I know, you are not yet twenty years old, so young to open up the second vein of Rendu, as far as I know, even the real people of Sanfeng did not do it, rare assets, in this era, absolutely worthy of the dragon and phoenix among the people"

However, if Daoyou wants to go further, Poor Daoist suggests that Daoyou still need to find more ways to make money. ”

Yu Yangzi said again, and Zhou Shaojin looked at Yu Yangzi and asked modestly.

"Please also ask Taoist friends for guidance and doubts. ”

Although he has now reached the foundation of Dacheng, he is even higher than Yuyangzi, but he is completely novice in terms of cultivation, and he is definitely not as good as Yuyangzi.

"Cultivation of a way, nothing more than four elements, wealth and law, wealth in the first place, this wealth is not money in a narrow sense, the most important thing is to refer to the elixir, for practitioners, the cultivation of talent is an important factor, but the elixir medicine definitely plays an important role, a person practice, if there is enough elixir, even if it is a pig, it can definitely be cultivated into a pig demon, on the contrary, if there is no such elixir, even if the talent is outstanding, it is difficult to set foot on the top of the avenue, if the earth is not depleted by spiritual energy, my generation of monks will not fall to such a point。 ”

"The current earth makes it scarce, and the elixir is also reduced, but if you have enough money to buy the elixir in the wild ginseng to take to assist in cultivation, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort for cultivation. ”

Yu Yangzi opened his mouth and said, Zhou Shaojin nodded in agreement when he heard this, he very much agreed with what Yu Yangzi said, he himself had personal experience, if it weren't for the Traceability Dan Ban to help him reshape his body, and the Zhuji Dan to take to assist in mind cultivation, his cultivation speed would definitely not be so fast, and if he followed the step-by-step process, it would be possible to be at least several times slower or even dozens of times.
