XXXIV. The Beginning of the Statement

Lao Tzu, Yuan Shi, Tongtian three people to Xun Daozi warm the Yuan furnace, this warmth is seventy-seven forty-nine said, Xun Daozi and Su Xin sat aside to watch is also a lot of benefit.

At noon on the forty-ninth day, Lao Tzu drank softly, the beginning of the beginning, Tongtian stopped at the same time, Lao Tzu played a trick to remove the white light cover covering the Hunyuan furnace, and the original group of all kinds of firelight burning around the Hunyuan furnace all seeped into the Hunyuan furnace and disappeared.

At this time, the Hunyuan furnace was no longer the same, although the surface was still a little gray, but the inside was not swarthy, exuding a dark golden mysterious light. It's spinning slowly in the air. Lao Tzu and the three of them looked at the Hunyuan furnace in front of them and smiled slightly.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, the Hunyuan furnace fell steadily on the ground in the bamboo pavilion, simple, atmospheric, and mysterious.

Lao Tzu stroked his snow-white long hair, squinted at the Hunyuan furnace, and had a smug look on his face. Shaoqing opened his mouth and said: "This furnace has come to this point, and I will complete it again." Use it to refine a furnace of seven-turn golden pills, and nourish them with the medicinal qi of the pills. ”

Yuan Shi said with a smile: "It's rare that my brother is willing to open the furnace for alchemy, and this is also its creation." He turned his head to Xundaozi and said, "Apprentice, your master is willing to open the furnace for your Hunyuan furnace to alchemy, or to refine the seven-turn golden pill, this is a rare opportunity for you, you have a lot of Chinese medicinal materials in the valley, you can quickly go and prepare the corresponding medicinal materials for your master." and prepare a quiet room to be used as a dan room for alchemy. ”

Xundaozi was really overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly got up and knelt in front of Lao Tzu and said: "Thank you for your success, and please ask your uncle to show me what kind of medicinal materials must be used, and the disciples should also prepare." ”

Lao Tzu pointed with his hand, and a Dan prescription floated to Xundaozi: "You can prepare medicinal materials according to this Dan prescription, and this Dan prescription will also be given to you, and you can also practice refining in the future." Speaking of this, Lao Tzu looked at Su Xin, who was a little envious next to him, paused and said, "Su Xin is transformed by Ganoderma lucidum, and you should be familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials and medicinal surnames, you can go to prepare medicinal materials with Xundaozi, and you can make some preparations for me when I open the furnace." ”

When Su Xin heard this, he was really happy to descend from the sky, and quickly knelt down: "Su Xin thanks the immortal chief, I will prepare the required medicinal materials for the immortal chief, make all kinds of preparations, and live up to the kindness of the immortal chief." After saying that, he kowtowed nine times in a row, and then he got up and walked out of the bamboo pavilion with Xundaozi and went to prepare the medicinal herb retreat.

After Xun Daozi and Su Xin exited the bamboo pavilion, Tongtian spoke: "Why does my brother take so much care of that little Lingzhi?"

Lao Tzu looked at Yuan Shi and said: "I just calculated for my brother Moyun Xuangong, and I feel that this Zhixian Suxin will also enter our door, but at this time, the opportunity has not come, and I don't know who will enter our door in the future, and I see this female show in Huizhong, and she is also very talented in pills, so I will mention it a little." ”

Xundaozi was busy preparing the medicinal materials on the Dan prescription given by Lao Tzu at this time, but he didn't expect that because of himself, there would be more people like Su Xin under the Sanqing Sect, and unconsciously, the reality of the flood and the legend of the future generations are getting farther and farther apart.

Soon, Xundaozi and Su Xin prepared all the medicinal materials on the pill given by Lao Tzu, and prepared a quiet room in the Enlightenment Cave, and returned to the bamboo pavilion to resume their lives.

Lao Tzu saw Xundaozi and Su Xin coming back, and said: "Two virtuous brothers, if you are a brother, you will go to refine the pill first, and the two virtuous brothers will take care of themselves." ”

At the beginning, Tongtian said: "Brother will go by himself, we will have something to do, and there is no need for my brother to worry." ”

Lao Tzu put away the Hunyuan furnace and the Taoist son, and Su Xin went to the meditation room of the Enlightenment Cave.

When he arrived at the quiet room prepared by Xundaozi and Su Xin in the Enlightenment Dao Cave, Lao Tzu looked around and nodded imperceptibly. The quiet room has a radius of thirty or forty zhang, there is a white jade cloud bed, on which is placed a futon made of pure grass; a stone table is placed next to it, and a set of white jade tea sets are placed on it, which is crystal clear; a medicinal material cabinet made of a whole piece of green jade, next to a green jade stone case, neatly, and in different categories there are some prepared medicinal materials.

Lao Tzu placed the Hunyuan furnace in the center of the quiet room, and said to Xundaozi: "You have no foundation in alchemy now, and you don't even recognize much medicinal materials. After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at it, and a blue light flashed, and he did not enter the eyebrows of the Taoist.

Xundaozi suddenly felt a ball of information burrowing into his mind, stuffing his head with pain, but he knew that it was the magic given by his master Lao Tzu, so he quickly knelt down and thanked him.

Lao Tzu waved his hand to let the seeker get up and said, "You go out." ”

Seeker bowed down and exited the quiet room, walked out of the Enlightenment Cave Mansion, and returned to the Bamboo Pavilion.

Yuan Shi saw that Xundaozi was back, asked him to sit down in front of him, and said, "Your master will open the furnace for alchemy this time, and it will take several years of hard work. I would like to take this opportunity to see how you have practiced over the years, and if you have any questions, you can also raise them together, and I will answer them with you. ”

When Xundaozi heard this, he quickly knelt down and thanked Yuan Shi, and then he brought his hundreds of years of cultivation to Yuan Shi one by one, including all kinds of difficult places to grasp and confusing places.

Yuan Shi listened carefully to the story of the seeker, affirmed the achievements of the seeker over the past few hundred years, and also gave guidance on the problems in the practice. I was very surprised and amazed that the Dao Seeker was able to cultivate the 'Jade Qing Refining Divine Technique' to the point that it became the instinct of the body, and that it could operate autonomously in the body without the need for conscious urging, and that he was always strong and spiritual. Even Tongtian next to him stared at the seeker and looked at it repeatedly, like looking at a monster.

For Xundaozi said that he was looking for the tea tree is the demon beast he encountered just a roar, and he actually made his eyes black and dazed, if it wasn't for the 'cleansing heart and dust' protector, he would be injured under the claws of the demon beast. Yuan Shi told him that it should be that the demon beast has the talent of soul attack, and that roar is that the demon beast has issued a direct attack on the soul of the seeker, and the seeker has the protection of 'cleansing the heart and dust', and there is no need to care about this kind of attack, of course, it is necessary to practice the corresponding method of divine soul defense, and you must also have some understanding of this kind of attack. is also highly praised for the talent of seeking the Tao Zi to practice the Lei Fa, which makes the Xun Daozi also quite shy.

In the end, Yuan Shi felt that the Daoist was unable to understand the cultivation, cultivation, Taoism, and mana, and was quite speechless, and he was not even clear about the basic cultivation knowledge of this disciple, so he was very puzzled when he reached the level of the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Fruit of the Dao. I have to popularize the basics for it. Tongtian saw the embarrassment on the face of Xundaozi on the side, like a joke.

Xundaozi came to the flood wilderness, and when he turned into a shape, he lacked the talent inheritance that the general flood wilderness creatures would have when they were transformed, and he did not have a clear understanding of the cultivation system of the flood wilderness, but he just relied on his own assumptions to describe it, and now he said that he explained the cultivation experience to Yuan Shi in detail, and it was a whole mess, so that Yuan Shi sometimes listened to it in a daze, and then he had the idea of popularizing basic knowledge for him.

Yuan Shi said: "Today, I will talk to you about this practice, cultivation, Taoism, and mana. You should remember it well, so as not to go out in the future and make people laugh and insult our reputation. ”

Xundaozi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The disciple must remember the master's teachings and never disgrace the master's reputation. ”

Yuan Shi said: "You get up and sit down, listen carefully to what the teacher said today, and if you have any questions, you can also ask them, and the teacher will answer them for you." ”

Xundaozi thanked Yuan Shi, got up and sat upright, and listened to Yuan Shi's explanation.

Yuan Shi waited for the Taoist to sit down, and said: "You have remembered that cultivation corresponds to the Tao and the realm, and it is the experience and understanding of the Tao by our practitioners, and the act of attaining the Tao through a series of actions, which is also the process of the body, enlightenment, and enlightenment that we have done, which is called cultivation. The Tao and the realm can be two into one, that is, through a series of practices after the understanding of the Tao, the degree of recognition of the Tao, and the number of traces of the Tao that can be mastered, this is the practitioner's Tao practice, that is, the realm, and the official saying is the Tao fruit, the fruit position.

Cultivation corresponds to mana, on the one hand, the practitioner realizes the Tao and realizes the Dao, hoping to gain the recognition of the Dao, and on the other hand, he must also swallow the spiritual power of heaven and earth to refine his body, and absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to support the practitioner to walk on the path of seeking the Dao; otherwise, even if you are extremely talented, the enlightenment is far beyond ordinary people, and you cannot absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to nourish yourself, and before you can achieve the Tao, your life span will be exhausted, how far can you go on the path?

At the same time, the cultivator also absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth and stores it in his body through his own refining and mana, as a source of power for himself to cast supernatural spells; if there is no mana in his body, even if you have supernatural powers, it will be in vain. By absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth to refine oneself, refining it into mana and storing it in one's body, this is cultivation.

In addition, there is also a theory of cultivation, which means that this practice means practicing and practicing, and the magic techniques can be mastered through this practice. ”

Yuan Shi said this, and Yuan Shi said to the Taoist: "Do you understand now?"

Xundaozi hurriedly replied: "The disciple basically understands. It's just that some of the details are still not clear, and I hope Master will solve his doubts!"

Yuan Shi said: "If you still have any doubts, just mention it." ”

Xundaozi said: "Master, the disciple heard a sentence that said: 'The Tao is profound, and the mana is strong', what does this Dao have to do with mana?"

Yuan Shi Dao: "Mana is the cultivator's refining of the Heavenly Dao spiritual power stored in the body, and the capacity of the cultivator's body to store mana is certain. How can I store more mana? There are several ways. The first is to improve the Tao, that is, to improve the realm. Every time a practitioner improves his or her Dao practice, that is, every time he attains a Dao fruit, his body and soul will be baptized with the corresponding Dao traces and traces, so that he can hold more mana, which is the main way for a practitioner to store more mana. This is also the origin of the phrase 'the Tao is profound, and the mana is strong'. Another way to increase the mana stored in the body is to temper the body, through the continuous tempering of the body, the body is constantly strengthened, and the meridians are enhanced, so as to increase the storage capacity of the first force. This method is the most popular with the Wu clan, and some demon clans are also good at it. There is also a way to increase the storage of mana, that is, to refine and compress the refined mana, which makes the mana of the same storage more refined than other cultivators, and increases the storage of mana in another sense. This method cannot be done by those who are not strong in the soul. ”

When Xundaozi heard this, he realized how lonely he was, how fallacious his assumptions were, and how strange the realm of his cultivation was that he could practice in a daze, which was also an anomaly, thinking of this, Xundaozi asked again: "Master, what are the spiritual powers of this heaven and earth?"

Yuan Shi said: "The spiritual power of this heaven and earth has the ubiquitous aura of heaven and earth, the power of Zhou Tianxing, and the power of the earth's pulse. All of these can absorb the spiritual power of refining for cultivators. Since the spiritual power absorbed by the cultivator is mainly based on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the practitioner is also known as the qi practitioner. ”

Seeker thought about it and asked, "Master, how many lifespans does this cultivator have?"

Yuan Shi said: " At this time, ordinary creatures in the desolate world can live up to 18,000 years old, and if they have to cultivate a little, they can increase their lifespan according to the situation; if they can attain the Xuanxian Fruit Position, they can live to 50,000 years old; if they can attain the Dao Immortal Fruit Position, they can live to live 100,000 years old; if they preach the Dao Heavenly Immortal Fruit Rank can live to be 1 million years old; the Daoist Taiyi Scattered Immortal Fruit Rank can live to live 10 million years; the Daoist Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit Rank can live to be 1 billion years old; the Dao Daluo Fruit Rank can grow old with the Flood Desolation Heaven and Earth; and the Dao Mixed Yuan will be destroyed by the flood and the desolation will exist alone; this is a common practice for ordinary practitioners, and there are a few special practitioners who are not in this case。 It is not known whether the teacher is above. ”
