Although it was difficult, Shangguan Lan had to struggle: "Although Lin Xin's surname is Lin, he has been playing with Ming Hao and Xue'er since childhood, and he has long been like brothers and sisters, and in my eyes, he is also my junior." According to his personality, it is only a matter of time before he grows up and makes meritorious contributions to my Shangguan family. In the future, I will accept the family affairs with Ming Hao and Xue'er, why can't I practice the exercises of the Shangguan family?"

Speaking of which, Shangguan Lan's meaning is too obvious. He had cultivated Lin Xin as a righteous son, how could he do the best exercises if he didn't practice them? The Great Elder saw that the head of the family was resolute, and knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely quarrel. Looks like we have to find a solution. He thought about it and suddenly said, "Since the head of the family has said so, I have no other opinions. But I can't practice my family's exercises so casually. Besides, I'm also thinking about my family, so would I like to make a suggestion here?"

Shangguan Lan didn't know what to ask for, and asked, "The Great Elder is dedicated to my family, and it is natural to have any requests, you just have to put them forward." ”

"'Qinglong Gang's Qi Decision' is my Zhen clan's mental method, and it can't be easily allowed to be cultivated. Before he reaches the age of eighteen, he is not allowed to cultivate, but he can practice other Fa decisions. In the past few years, we have examined whether his mental nature and cultivation talent can meet the requirements of the Shangguan family. Otherwise, even if he cultivated the "Qinglong Gang Qi Decision", it would be useless. ”

This request was reasonable, and Shangguan Lan had no reason to shirk it again, so he had to agree.

......

On the second day, just after breakfast, the three of them went back to the mountain. At this time, Shangguan Lan had already waited at the Yeshu Pavilion agreed yesterday, and saw the three of them giggling all the way. Shangguan Lan sighed in her heart, I hope you can always be happy in the future.

"Dad, we're here!" Shangguan Xue'er shouted first.

Shangguan Lan just nodded and said, "You're ready." Shangguan Lan said seriously, with a calm look on her face.

When Shangguan Xue'er saw her father like this, she thought to herself, "What's wrong with Dad?" The same goes for the other two.

Several people replied in unison, "Ready!"

"In my Shangguan family, when the descendants of any person's family grow up to your age, they will start to cultivate. Your sister Xue Hui a few years ago. And there it is, just like you. ”

Shangguan Lan's tone paused, and she was silent for a while before continuing: "Xue Hui is a rare genius in our family in a hundred years, starting from an initial cultivator in less than ten years, and completing the first two steps of refining and refining qi. ”

"Uncle, what is refining and refining qi?" Shangguan Minghao had heard of something about cultivation for the first time, and he didn't know what this was, so he asked.

Shangguan Lan smiled slightly and said, "This is the Tao of cultivation, and it is not surprising that you don't understand it." That's it...... Xue'er, do you know what 'refining and refining qi' is?"

"Dad, my daughter doesn't know!" Shangguan Xue'er replied after thinking for a long time.

Turning his eyes, Shangguan Lan asked Lin Xin again, "Do you know what 'refining qi' is?"

Lin Xin was puzzled, this was the hierarchy of cultivators to cultivators, it was difficult for ordinary people to know, why did he ask a few of us? ”

"Lin Xin, do you know?" With a surprised expression, Shangguan Minghao asked, "Why haven't I seen those books you said?" ”

Shangguan Xue'er on the side was also curious when she heard this, and looked at Lin Xin with wide eyes.

"I only know some, not completely. Lin Xin said modestly.

Shangguan Lan was also surprised, and said, "Then you will tell what you know and let everyone hear it?"

"'Refining and refining qi' should be an early stage in the cultivation realm for cultivators. After speaking, Lin Xin glanced at Shangguan Lan, only to see him nod silently, put his mind at ease and continued: "Different cultivators have different talents, and in the process of cultivation, they vary from person to person, and the cultivation realm will reach different levels in different periods. And the level of proficiency is not entirely determined by a person's practice time. ”

"How was that decided?" Shangguan Minghao interjected and asked.

"Realm!"

"Realm?" Ming Hao was puzzled again.

"The so-called realm refers to the level of cultivation, and in the early stage of cultivation, it is the stage of 'refining and refining qi'. In this stage, it is divided into three realms: rotation, enlightenment, and fusion. Every improvement in cultivation is the improvement of the realm, and every improvement in the realm is also the improvement of cultivation. Lin Xin continued.

"Can this realm be seen?" Shangguan Xue'er thought, the realm should be visible and touchable, otherwise it would be useless. When she asked this, she wanted to know how she could see.

Lin Xin relied on books to get it, how could he know if he hadn't practiced yet? He shook his head and didn't know, if anyone among the several people could know the answer, there must be only one person, so several people looked at Shangguan Lan at the same time, only to see Shangguan Lan's unfathomable expression: "You can see it, but you can't see it!"

Can it be seen, but it is also invisible? It is really profound! What does it mean that the three of them are completely "invisible."

"Dad, I don't understand, you can make it clear. Shangguan Xue took two steps to the side, grabbed her father's arm, and asked coquettishly.

Hehe, Shangguan Lan just smiled. said to Lin Xin: "Lin Xin, you continue." ”

Lin Xin scratched his head in embarrassment, hehe: "It's gone!"

This is gone? The two little ones made him laugh, and we were still waiting for your erudition, but at the beginning, it was gone. It's a pity, it's a pity!

Shangguan Lan was also funny, but in front of the juniors, she couldn't hold back a smile: "Lin Xin, in this cultivation, 'refining and refining qi' is the initial stage, why do you only know the front and not the back?"

"I also came across it when I was reading miscellaneous books, and it was only slightly involved. ”

Shangguan Lan nodded silently, many of the books in the library were mythological stories of folklore, perhaps more or less mentioning the cultivation realm.

"So that's the case! Dad kept saying that the third grandfather was the most powerful in cultivation, and I said that they hadn't tried it together, so how did they know who was great. Shangguan Minghao said suddenly.

Shangguan Lan glanced at him and said to him: "Ming Hao, the realm is certainly the standard for measuring a person's cultivation, but in the cultivation realm, it is not completely possible to use the realm where a person is located to express his cultivation. If the two of them fight against each other, and the realm is almost the same, it will not be just a competition of cultivation. It also includes wisdom, endurance and exercises. Remember, no matter who you fight against, don't be arrogant, or you will regret it. The words behind this were not just said to Shangguan Minghao, but to the three of them.

The three nodded one after another.

Shangguan Lan continued: "Just now, I asked you if you knew about 'refining and refining qi', but it was actually intentional. As a result, only Lin Xin knows, you did a good job of this. Shangguan Lan looked at Lin Xin and praised him. Then he continued: "Xue'er, Minghao, you want to learn from Lin Xin this spirit of active exploration, do you know?"

Shangguan Xue'er asked, "Why is this?"

"Do you know what is most important to cultivators?" Shangguan Lan asked without answering.

"Talent!" said in unison.

"Yes, talent is the most important thing for a cultivator. When a good talent is practicing, it can make a person get twice the result with half the effort, while a bad talent is just the opposite. After speaking, Shangguan Lan glanced at the three of them, and said: "Among the three of you, Xue'er and Minghao are very talented, and they can be said to be rare in the world. Lin Xin, although your talent is not as good as the two of them, you are also one in a hundred. ”

With a change of tone, Shangguan Lan looked at Lin Xin: "But talent is only one aspect, and a person's understanding and understanding of cultivation are also extremely important when practicing." And the source of these things is just like what Lin Xin did, which can be obtained through the book. ”

Hearing him say this, several people understood the reason.

Looking at a few people thinking, Shangguan Lan came up with another sentence: "What the predecessors have gained, can also be obtained by the descendants." ”

"The road ahead is for you to walk on your own, and being an elder can only remind you to a certain extent and give you some personal experience. The final path of cultivation has to be completed by yourselves, so I will take this opportunity today to tell you about cultivating the True Realm. Shangguan Lan diverted from the topic just now and entered the main content of what he wanted to talk about today.

"Yes, yes. Tell us about it, Dad. Shangguan Xue'er shouted happily. Excitement was written on his white face.

The other two were also curious and looking forward to it.

Shangguan Lan said: "In our world, the two types of people who can practice and those who can't practice live in their own worlds, and in the eyes of the latter, the former are dedicated to cultivating only to pursue the truth of the Heavenly Dao, so they say that they are 'cultivating the truth', and the world they are in is the 'cultivation realm'. However, there is only one world in the vast world, and all living beings live in it, and although the 'cultivation realm' is called a world, it is actually only the life scope of a group of people. After glancing at a few people, Shangguan Lan said to them again: "In our Shangguan family, several elders and I can all be said to be from the 'Cultivation Realm'. ”

"For those who cultivate the truth, there are long and short cultivation days, and there are high and low paths. In a big way, it can be divided into the stages of 'refining and refining gas', 'refining gas and transforming gods', and 'even deepening the void'. In each of these three stages, there must be a corresponding improvement in order to move on to the next stage. Shangguan Lan preached for them one by one.

"Uncle, then what realm have you reached now?" Shangguan Minghao suddenly thought of this question.

Shangguan Lan laughed twice and did not answer.
