Cultivation of Immortality

Wang Jue saw Xi Yang's depression and said, "The number of souls is certainly important, but it is by no means the only one that determines future achievements. As one's cultivation deepens, the role of the number of souls will gradually become smaller. After the elixir formation period, Opportunity and determination are more important. Looking at the world of immortality, many people who can transform into feathers and ascend are those with low soul numbers, but there are not a few people with high soul numbers who have only reached the core formation stage."

Xiyang asked, "What is the elixir formation period?"

Wang Jue said very patiently, "Let me tell you about the stages of cultivation. The first is the Qi gathering stage. The two souls of heaven and earth do not exist in the body but swim outside the body. This is why I can It depends on the number of your souls. Mortals cannot control them. Only by learning the skills can they be mobilized. Qi gathering refers to using the two souls to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body. Those with more souls will naturally have stronger abilities to draw spiritual energy. There are fifteen levels in the Qi gathering stage. After the completion, it enters the opening and melting stage. This 'opening' refers to the opening of the body. The body is not just a skin but also has an invisible barrier. We call it the 'heavenly barrier', which blocks the way. When spiritual energy enters the body, during the Qi Gathering period, although one can rely on exercises to allow the spiritual energy to enter the body, that is just penetration. During the opening and melting stage, one needs to use the spiritual energy condensed in the body to forcefully open a passage through the sky barrier, so that the spiritual energy can flow smoothly. By entering and exiting the body, spiritual power and soul can truly be integrated. At this time, not only can more magical powers be comprehended, but even the same magical power can be used far more than in the Qi-gathering period."

Xiyang and Xunyi listened attentively. When they heard the words "Heavenly Barrier", one touched his body and the other poked his body with his fingers.

"The next step is the elixir-forming stage. This stage is simple to say, as long as you gather enough spiritual energy to condense the bile crystals in the Qi Mansion and then form the elixir. However, the process is the longest and boring. There is no great determination and great determination. It is difficult to cultivate perseverance to perfection. Even with the number of souls you two have, I think it will take hundreds of years of hard work. Although the advantage of soul number is extremely obvious at this time, because this process is too long, many people They will slowly relax.”

"A hundred years?" Xiyang grinned.

Xunyi smiled bitterly and said, "Life only lasts for a few decades, how many people can live for a hundred years? Doesn't this mean that even if you practice till death, you don't have enough years?"

Wang Jue said, "The lifespan of monks is different from that of ordinary people. Entering the Kailuo stage can increase your life span by two hundred years, and entering the elixir formation stage can increase your life span by another three hundred years. But even so, most people still cannot achieve the goal of elixir formation until they die. You should You know how difficult it is to form a pill."

"You can live for such a long time!" The two people in Xiyang were so happy that they were dancing for joy. After the blow of the soul number incident, they have realized that becoming an immortal is not as easy as they originally thought. Although the life span of several hundred years is much longer than that of There is a big difference between immortality and immortality, but it can be obtained at last. For two and a half-year-old children whose concepts are still mortal, this surprise is big enough.

Wang Jue was also happy for them and said, "With the qualifications of the two junior brothers, as long as they practice hard and practice hard, they have a high chance of entering the elixir formation stage. If they can encounter some good luck, they may be able to go one step further."

Xiyang asked happily, "What does it mean to go further? Is it to ascend to immortality?"

Wang Jue smiled and shook his head and said, "We are still far from becoming an immortal. We are still in the Nascent Soul stage."

"Oh..." Xiyang looked slightly disappointed, and then asked with hope, "How much life can be gained this time?"

Wang Jue smiled slightly and said, "You can't look at these lifespans with secular concepts. You must know that most of the monks' days are spent in seclusion and meditation. After cultivating to a high level, sometimes a single retreat will consume dozens of years." The life of a monk who is hundreds of years old and devoted to the Tao is far less exciting than that of ordinary mortals. If you have the idea of ​​enjoying hundreds of more years, you would be wrong. For monks who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation and think that it is difficult to break through. For me, the remaining years are a kind of torment, and they are extremely vulnerable to the invasion of inner demons. In order to avoid damage to the earthly soul, some people will even sit down in advance, and hundreds of years of cultivation will be wiped out in one day. "

Xun and Yi blinked, the smiles disappearing from their faces.

Xiyang frowned and asked, "How long will it take to practice?"

How can one become an immortal? "

Wang Jue replied, "After the Nascent Soul is the Feather Stage, which has a lifespan of thousands of years. It is easy to have all kinds of magical powers to control the wind and rain. It is already what you call a god. As for what happens next, I don't know." I don’t dare to tell you nonsense. In fact, I don’t know much about what happens after the elixir is formed. I only heard that before the elixir was formed, it relied on hard work, and after that, it focused on understanding and chance. "

Xunyi smiled and asked, "So, senior brother has reached the elixir formation stage now?"

Wang Jue smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It would be great if that were the case. I have just entered the Kairong stage. I'm afraid I can only stop here in my life. The Tianying sect has several masters in the Danjie stage, so I I have some understanding of the cultivation of the alchemy period."

The two of them did not expect that Senior Brother Wang, who in their eyes had great supernatural powers, had only reached the second step of cultivation. Xiyang comforted him, "Senior Brother is only in his thirties, and there are still more than two hundred years left. I don't think he can reach the stage of elixir formation." It’s not hopeless.”

Wang Jue smiled and said, "My silly junior brother, cultivators are much younger in appearance than ordinary people of the same age. Senior brother looks middle-aged, but in fact he is nearly ninety years old. Besides, although I broke through the 'Heavenly Barrier', I am still very subtle." It's like a strand of hair. If you want to use it to condense elixir, five hundred years won't be enough."

The two of them were stunned. It was hard to believe that he was already nearly ninety years old.

After a while, Xun Yi said, "Is there really no other way? If you can't form the elixir, senior brother's training in this life will not be in vain."

Wang Jue smiled and said, "Unless you get the immortal fruit and elixir, how can these things be obtained by me, a cultivator in the Kailung stage? Senior brother has already looked away. This life cannot be said to have been practiced in vain. At least I have heard about the cultivation of immortals." Tao, with the existing magic power, I can do some good deeds to exorcise ghosts and demons. I hope that after death, the ghosts will be added to the underworld, so that they may be able to follow the path of cultivation again in the next life. If not, this is the idea. , I can’t meet you either.”

Xiyang said sincerely, "Senior brother, a good person like him will be able to do it sooner or later."

Immortal. "

Wang Jue waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, in this life, it is because he knows that it is difficult to achieve anything, so he is open-minded and let go. Who knows whether he will lose his mind in the next life because he cannot resist temptation. Not only good people can become immortals, some A person has been a good person for thousands of lives and has accumulated a good amount of soul. After embarking on the path of cultivation, his achievements will naturally be higher. If he encounters a bottleneck in the Dan Formation Stage or Nascent Soul Stage, he may not be willing to give up. Their strength is also qualified to compete for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In the process, they will inevitably be cunning and hurt people, but as long as they reach the level of cultivation, they can ascend. The two are highly qualified and may face this problem in the future.”

Xiyang said firmly, "Senior brother, don't worry, we won't do anything harmful to nature."

Wang Jue nodded noncommittally and said, "I have to tell you one thing. Even if the number of souls reaches forty or more, it is difficult to achieve much by just practicing hard. It can be said that every monk who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage has After some chance, if you can really reach that point in cultivation, you will already have a plan in your mind about what to do."

Xunyi nodded understandingly and said, "We understand."

Next, Wang Jue told them some common sense about the world of cultivation and the rules of the sect. When the sun went down, he wanted to take the two of them down the mountain to find an inn to stay. The two of them had known how to avoid causing trouble to others since they were young. They just said that they often sleep in the mountains and could stay here for one night.

Wang Jue fell in love with these two junior brothers more and more, so he simply obeyed them, and casually caught two pheasants and grilled them over the fire to eat. Faced with such a good senior brother, Xiyang and Xunyi had endless questions to ask. Wang Jue patiently answered them one by one to the best of his knowledge. It was not until they were exhausted that they found a straw nest to sleep. Wang Jue Then continue to sit cross-legged and meditate.

The rest of the itinerary was more or less like this. In addition to telling them about the world of cultivation, Wang Jue also taught them introductory knowledge such as meridians and qi palaces. Both of them learned quickly, which made Wang Jue feel more and more like he had really picked up two people this time. Treasure.
