Chapter 11 What is Cultivating Immortals?
The mountains don't know the years, and even more so for those who cultivate, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye
In this year, Ye An went through Shen Jian's affairs, and the contacts with the disciples in the sect gradually faded, there were many interests among the monks, and his own cultivation was low, and now the most important thing at present is to cultivate to the level of the inner disciple early.
On weekdays, there is nothing to do except retreat and cultivation, and the Bigu Dan obtained from Shen Jian is still surplus for him at present, except for completing another sect task, Ye An has never gone out again.
Thinking of the last sect mission, Ye An felt melancholy. The cultivation in the sect is all about cultivation and harvest.
A few days ago, I went to the mountain to collect the offerings of the mortal family on behalf of the sect, the matter was quite simple, and I only got a reward for a low-grade spirit stone, for Ye An, who had not yet broken through the second layer, it could not be used, it was all an experience.
Although he hadn't broken through the second layer yet, Ye An's cultivation place was excellent, and the spiritual power in his body had also increased a lot.
The two spells obtained from Shen Jian's corpse, Ye An naturally studied them carefully.
The cultivation of the Dharma, which is not as difficult as imagined, has memorized the way the Dharma Decision and the aura work, and after practicing it a few times, it is complete, which really makes Ye An excited for a long time.
He had also performed it in front of his master, and sure enough, as recorded in the Fa Duel, without using additional aura, the Daoji monk would not have been able to discover himself.
Shen Xuanchun was not as optimistic about this technique as Ye An, and since he couldn't use additional spiritual power, he couldn't even use the imperial sword. There is no other use for low-level monks to come than to show the magic of this technique, and letting high-level monks use this technique may only save their lives. If you think about it, this technique does seem to be a bit of a frustration.
After careful analysis by the master, Ye An's interest in this technique suddenly decreased, but fortunately, this technique was simple and easy to learn, and it did not delay him for much time.
And although the cultivation of a magic disease was prepared, the result still made Ye An feel shocked.
The mantra of the disease is obscure and difficult to understand, and the recipe is quite complicated, and even Shen Xuanchun has worked hard to practice for a period of time without achieving anything.
In this regard, Ye An was helpless, but he believed that hard work paid off, and Ye An was only fifteen years old, and it was when he was young and vigorous, he practiced alone for three months without stopping after being familiar with the mantra and the Fa by heart.
Unsurprisingly, there was still nothing, Ye Anxin was furious, and threw the disease into the storage bag in a fit of rage, secretly swearing in his heart that he would never practice this technique again. I simply began to blindly cultivate asceticism.
Spring goes to autumn, the wildflowers in the mountains are defeated and bloomed and defeated, and after three years, Biyou Mountain still looks full of vitality, like a thriving Biyou small sect, and like the people in the north of Meng who are gradually gasping for breath.
One day, Ye An was still sitting cross-legged in the courtyard and vomiting, and his body looked unremarkable, but after the past few years, Ye An was finally no longer limited to the perception layer, and he could be regarded as a real perception monk.
Without the slightest warning, Ye An suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the courtyard hut that he had rarely left for many years, and strode towards Shen Xuanchun's cave mansion.
"Master. Ye An meticulously performed the rites of master and apprentice, as if he had just entered the master's door yesterday.
Shen Xuanchun showed a look of relief and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I called you to come and have important matters that must be handed over to you." ”
Ye An bowed his head and was silent, quietly waiting for Shen Xuanchun's words.
"You have rarely gone out in the past four years, you only know that you are blindly practicing penance, and your temperament is also a lot calmer, and now that you have sensed the third layer, you have the strength of an inner disciple, you should also go out to see it, so that it will be helpful to practice. ”
When Ye An heard this, he said blankly: "Dare to ask the master, this sect is already the most powerful cultivation place in the Meng Kingdom, what can be more suitable for cultivation than in the sect?"
Shen Xuanchun replied, "Do you know why this sect is the only sect that cultivates immortals?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, rubbed his fingers, and said, "Because this sect is strong?"
Shen Xuanchun said again: "Let me ask you, what is the cultivation of immortals?"
Ye An didn't think about it: "Naturally, it is a higher cultivation level, and in the end, you will become an immortal." ”
Shen Xuanchun shook his head and was silent for a long time before he said: "Actually, my generation of monks, in the final analysis, is to cultivate time, and compete with the heavens for longevity, so that we can have more opportunities to comprehend the Great Dao." ”
"Your qualifications are barely in the middle and upper reaches of the entire sect, but your comprehension is only seen in your life as a teacher, and you are particularly quick to practice techniques, and you can draw inferences from everything. But if you are given fifty years, you have to find your own opportunities to make waves among thousands of monks, and even if you are lucky enough to become one in ten thousand, it will be difficult to build your own Dao foundation, because your time is only fifty years. ”
At this time, Ye An sat cross-legged opposite the master and listened quietly.
"But if you were given a thousand years, you wouldn't necessarily be just a small monk of perception. Under the protection of the sect master, all the disciples of my sect can cultivate with peace of mind during his lifetime, and there is no need to worry about other monks coming to compete for their own cultivation resources. ”
"Most of the lifespans of the perceptual monks are around 100 years old, and the elders will not be more than 120 years old. And once he built his own Dao foundation, Shouyuan changed back to five hundred years old, and he had never heard of one more year or less year. ”
Hearing this, Ye An's pupils shrank, obviously shocked. In the past, I had only seen and heard a few words of the monk's longevity in "Bi Youdu", but I never thought that the difference between different realms and longevity was so big.
He suppressed his somewhat agitated mood, knowing that the master would not bring up this matter for no reason, so he continued to listen patiently.
"Although the Dao foundation is perfect, he is already four hundred and seventy years old. In another ten years, the vitality in the body will begin to decay, and the cultivation will become more effective with half the effort. If there is no breakthrough in 20 years, all the cultivation in this life will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and in the end it will be a failure. ”
"But," Shen Xuanchun paused suddenly, his right hand method changed, and the cave was full of brilliance, obviously a soundproof barrier was arranged, and then he was a little excited: "When the teacher traveled in other countries in his early years, he accidentally got an ancient pill, if he can refine the pill according to the pill, he can add three years, five years, and ten years of life for the teacher, and once the teacher has these eighteen years as a guarantee, he will definitely be able to make another breakthrough!"
There are pills that can add to the longevity of monks since ancient times, but most of them are only three or five years, this common sense Ye An naturally has, but the pills that can increase the longevity of eighteen years cumulatively are against the sky.
Ye Anxin couldn't help but yearn for it, and he also understood why the master had so carefully arranged the soundproof barrier.
He looked at Shen Xuanchun and said, "Once the monk condenses the pill, what is the longevity?"
