Chapter 9 Three times three levels to refine oneself and build a foundation
Yin Zhiping didn't know that Liu Linglong and the person hiding in the shadows secretly took pictures of their license plate numbers with their mobile phones, trying to find out their identities through the license plate number. It's just that he knows the way, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to it. He believed that with his current strength, there were very few people in this world who could threaten him.
Driving home, he drank a glass of water to rest for a while, then after washing up, he turned off the lights, turned his mobile phone on silent, and then sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, sipping out distracting thoughts, and began to practice his "Heavenly Illusion True Method" passed on by Yunmeng.
This method is one of the four Mahayana mystic methods that have been passed down since ancient times by the Heavenly Palace of the Taixu World. The practice of the Taixu World is divided into three grades, namely Hinayana, Middle Vehicle, and Mahayana, which are the so-called "Dharma has three vehicles".
The so-called Mahayana method is a wonderful method that can directly refer to immortality, and it is also included in all the steps and exercises from the very beginning of the self-refining and foundation building stage to the Shangguan Immortal Technique, which is the most reinforcing spirit and returning to the void, and can be cultivated step by step from mortals to immortals.
The law of multiplication is only to refine the qi and transform the gods of Zhongguan immortal arts, at most you can cultivate the original god, get a person in the realm of immortals, stay in the face of immortality, and live for thousands of years, but you can't live forever and transcend, and you can't live forever.
The Hinayana law only has the first level of immortal art of refining and refining qi, and after practice, it can only be more safe and less sick, prolong life, at most, it can form a golden pill, cultivate a yin god, and become a ghost and immortal after death, or only have some magical powers, there is no way to prolong life at all, and it is not the right way to cultivate.
Since ancient times, there have been countless Dao methods in the Taixu World Realm, but only the Dao Dharma that directly points to immortality can be called the supreme Mahayana method. In a practicing school, one can have a Mahayana method as a town school exercise. It's already remarkable. And the Heavenly Palace of Hatred can have four Mahayana Mystic Methods, which shows its strength. In the Taixu world, it is also a famous cultivation school.
Yin Zhiping has been on the third day since he returned to the real world. But he has not yet started practicing this "Heavenly Illusion True Law". In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to practice, but after Yun Meng repays his Jiuyang Great Perfection skills, he must first familiarize himself with it and master his own strength. Moreover, before formal cultivation, you must first adjust your physical state, which is the stage of self-cultivation and foundation building before formal cultivation.
The way of cultivating the truth to become an immortal, anyone who walks the way of cultivating the Yuan Shen to transcend immortality, no matter what method it is, there are three levels of immortal art to practice. These three levels are the first level of immortal art for refining and refining qi. The Zhongguan Immortal Technique of refining the Qi and transforming the gods, and the Shangguan Immortal Technique of refining the gods and returning the void.
And before the formal cultivation, there is also a stage where the foundation of the body needs to be laid, which is called self-refining and building the foundation. This is not considered a formal cultivation step, and there is no specific exercise, and it can be done without even cultivating, the main thing is to take care of the body and prepare for it. It's very simple, but there's a lot of attention to it. It's not a sloppy thing. After all, cultivating the truth is not something that can be simply played around, nor does it mean that cultivation can be started immediately, and a lot of preparation needs to be made before formal cultivation.
Refining oneself and building a foundation is this stage of preparation. Cultivators are required to fill in the deficiencies, repair the deficiencies, strengthen the foundation, and refine the three treasures of the body's essence, qi, and spirit. Refining and cultivation is abundant and abundant, reaching the "three perfections" standard of sufficiency, fullness of energy, and prosperity. It's like laying the foundation before building a tall building. So this step can also be referred to as foundation building.
This title is the same as the title in some Xianxia Xiuzhen novels that Yin Zhiping has read before. However, the concept is absolutely different. Of the novels he had read, most of them were in their infancy. But often a foundation is very remarkable. And it is not easy to build a foundation, and it is a difficult goal and realm to achieve. The protagonist often has to cultivate to the foundation building stage, and he has to spend decades to hundreds of years first.
However, the cultivation foundation of the Taixu World is completely different from what he perceives from the novel. In the Taixu World Realm, foundation building is only a preparatory stage before formal cultivation, as long as you refine your body and make all the preparations. It's very simple, and it's easy to get through.
Because it usually takes 100 days to build the foundation, this foundation building period is also called "100 days to build the foundation". It only takes 100 days, which can really be said to be very short compared to the decades he used to read novels. However, not everyone has to "100 days", some may be longer, others may be shorter. But the longest, it will not take more than a year to spend at this stage.
In fact, it is very easy to achieve the three standards of refinement, qi, and divine prosperity, and in many major cultivation schools, it is only necessary to take a pill to solve the problem. Ordinary people just eat, drink, rest well, and after a period of time, adjust their physical and mental state. It can be said that it is very simple. However, in the stage of refining oneself and building the foundation, the most important thing is not the physical aspect, which is very easy to do, and the most important part of this stage is to "refine oneself".
The so-called "sexuality" refers to the realization of the mind, and the "life" refers to the physical life. In layman's terms, it means that both the "body" and the "mind" must be practiced. The same is true in this foundation building stage, refining oneself is actually "refining the mind". If you only refine your body but not your mind in the foundation building stage, and you don't lay a solid foundation, then you will leave a big hidden danger in your future cultivation.
The method of refining oneself is to cut off the sound and lust, save the entertainment, so that the ears and eyes are pure, and the distracting thoughts are eliminated. It is to wipe the dirt and dirt of distracting thoughts on one's own mind clean and spotless. Only by watching and listening, with a pure heart and few desires, can we better cultivate the essence of the Yuan, the vitality and the spirit of the Yuan, and reach the realm of the three perfections.
To put it simply, this self-refining is to achieve true tranquility. If the mind is not quiet, there are often distracting thoughts, and it is impossible to enter the state of cultivation. If you don't consider this point and forcibly cultivate, under the distracting thoughts in your heart, you are likely to have illusions in your heart and go mad.
In the Yuan Mirage Bead, Yun Meng once told him that in the Taixu World Realm, many formal disciples of the cultivation sect must first go through a mental tribulation illusion to test the disciple's mental nature. In fact, this is the self-cultivation in the foundation building stage, and if you can pass the test and temper your mind, you will be able to meet the requirements of formal practice. As long as you can pass this level, the three standards of the body are naturally achieved and easily achieved.
In addition to these physical and mental aspects, there are other preparations to be made during the foundation building phase. When practicing different exercises, it often requires some special requirements, such as the cooperation of time and geography. Some exercises are required to be practiced only at night rather than during the day, while others are more accurate to the exact hour of the day. In terms of places of practice, many exercises also have different requirements, such as deep mountains, caves, old forests, or places filled with fire and water, and so on.
The Heavenly Illusion True Fa doesn't have any special requirements in terms of time and geography, as long as it's a quiet place and no one disturbs it, and you can cultivate at any time.
The most important aspect of the Heavenly Illusion True Method in the foundation building stage is the aspect of mind refining, which is also more demanding than other exercises. Because this method is based on illusion, it is easy to be confused by illusions at the beginning of cultivation, so if the mind is not good, you can't cultivate at all, and you can't even get started.
