After talking about the practice experience of the tenth level of Qi Refining, the five people began to discuss the precautions for foundation building. Basically, Yang Xian and Hua Lanying were talking about this discussion, while Jiang Yuxia and the Ye sisters were listening.
Regarding the experience of foundation building, this is a very important exchange of information. Most monks will not come into contact with or discuss these matters at all. Because the five of them are close Taoist companions, they will put the matter of foundation building on the table for communication. .
Hua Lanying practices Xiao Yin Yang Jue, a technique of the declining Yin Yang Sect. The technique explains in detail all aspects of foundation building. Because it is an inheritance and is not bound by an oath, it can be discussed in depth.
They are all sisters and men, there is no need to hide them. Yang Xian is restricted by various rules and oaths of the sect, and many experiences cannot be shared.
Foundation building is the first step for a monk to change his life against the will of heaven. After passing through, the life span of 240 years is enviable. This is the time when he has truly embarked on the path to immortality. If he reaches the late stage of foundation building, he can enjoy at least 300 years of life. Yuan, further changed his destiny against heaven and pursued the great road.
There are two types of breakthroughs for Qi refining monks in the foundation building period. One is the breakthrough in the late stage of Qi refining, and the other is the breakthrough of Qi refining to perfection. The former needs to find an opportunity to break through, just like Hua Lanying now, and the second is the breakthrough of Qi refining. Once the Qi Perfection cultivation is completed, the Tianyun Immortal Vein is completely opened, and breakthrough opportunities will come naturally, and there is no need to look for additional foundation-building opportunities.
But no matter what the situation is, breaking through the foundation building stage must face three levels. Breaking through these three levels is also a huge transformation for the monks. The first level is the liquefaction of spiritual energy and the transformation of true essence.
The second level involves the transformation of spiritual thoughts and the manifestation of divine souls.
In the third level, the true fire is born, the foundation of the path is opened, and the body is transformed.
After passing the first level, the spiritual energy in the monk's Dantian liquefies into liquid true energy, the spiritual quality changes, and the strength changes qualitatively. After passing the second level, the spiritual thoughts transform into spiritual consciousness, observing the details and seeing the essence of things. At the same time, because the spiritual thoughts transform into divine consciousness, the spiritual consciousness can activate the three souls and seven souls in the monk's head, and the spiritual soul can be embodied.
After passing the third level, the innate true fire is born in the Dantian of the monk's body, opening up the True Yuan Lake, which is also called Daoji.
Then, the true energy and innate true fire in the body are simultaneously activated to transform the body, allowing the true energy to circulate in the 10 immortal veins throughout the body, forming a great circulation with the Dantian.
After the body has been baptized by true energy, it will be free from stains and leaks, and immune to all evils. Only by going through these three steps can one truly become a foundation-building monk.
If you want to become a foundation-building monk, how to pass these three levels is what Yang Xian and the five discussed. According to the guidance of breakthrough experience, the liquefaction of spiritual energy into true essence requires the circulation of spiritual energy in the body, and the spiritual energy is compressed and liquefied under the action of the foundation-building pill. Causes the transformation of the true essence. This step requires extremely high purity of spiritual energy and the strength of the immortal veins in the monk's body.
At the same time, the Foundation Establishment Pill, as a second-level middle-grade elixir, is very powerful. It not only guides spiritual energy to transform into true essence, but also provides powerful medicinal and spiritual power. It can provide a large amount of spiritual energy and accelerate the transformation of true essence.
However, the amount of spiritual energy provided by the Foundation Establishment Pill in a short period of time will put pressure on the Immortal Veins, and the Immortal Veins in the body will need to withstand greater pressure. Therefore, monks often prepare the Vein Protection Pill when building the Foundation, and use it at this time.
At this point in the exchange, both Yang Xian and Hua Lanying showed off the pulse-protecting pills they had prepared. They looked at each other and smiled. Yang Xian and Hua Lanying had already been working on the purity of the true essence a long time ago. , in fact, it is to explore the dual cultivation of yin and yang.
Use the pure aura in Yang Xian's body to purify the aura in Hua Lanying's body and baptize the immortal veins in Hua Lanying's body to increase the success rate of foundation building. It is the same path as Mu Bingbing, but the aura in Hua Lanying's body is It will be much more pure.
Foundation building is very important, and every step must be taken carefully.
The next step is to explore the second level, which involves the transformation of spiritual thoughts into spiritual consciousness. This level is neither difficult nor easy, and requires a breakthrough of one's own will. In short, as long as the first level is passed, it fully demonstrates that this monk With a strong will, it is easy for spiritual thoughts to transform into spiritual consciousness.
Because you only need to endure the severe pain in your head. Often for people with a strong will, such as Yang Xian, when their spiritual thoughts transform into spiritual consciousness, they only feel a sharp pain and then feel nothing. It varies from person to person.
If you are a monk in the greenhouse, it will be more difficult to pass this level, but usually the monks who can reach this step can withstand the pain and torture. Those who cannot reach this step will probably break through the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi refining. No.
The next step is to manifest the soul, use the transformed consciousness to find the spiritual root in the brain center, use the spiritual root as a guide to draw out the three souls and seven souls, and let the soul condense into shape. This process is extremely consuming of spiritual consciousness and mind.
In order to be on the safe side, and also to reduce the risk after the breakthrough, and to quickly respond to the next breakthrough, it is very necessary to prepare some pills to restore the mind and consciousness. Yang Xian took out the nourishing pill, and Hua Lanying prepared a two-part pill. The lower-grade elixirs, Requiem Pills, all have the effect of stabilizing the soul and restoring consciousness.
The last level discussed is the birth of true fire, which opens up the Taoist foundation and baptizes the body. It is also the most important and secret level. This level is the fire of the Dantian that is born in the monk's Dantian when the soul appears, also known as For the innate true fire.
This innate true fire is particularly critical. It can open up a lake of true energy in a monk's body, which is the most secret thing for every monk.
Generally speaking, this True Essence Lake is an important basis for the monk's subsequent practice. The True Essence Lake in a monk's body forms its own space. The size of the True Essence Lake that is opened up after breaking through the foundation building period is 1-9 feet and the depth is 3 inches. The larger the initial area of the True Essence Lake, the more True Essence it can accommodate, and the higher the monk's cultivation potential will be.
Generally, monks who practice low-level skills, use foundation-building pills to break through, or force breakthroughs, the size of the true essence lake created is about three feet.
The size of the true essence lake formed by monks who have practiced middle-level skills, used foundation-building pills to break through, or forced breakthroughs are all about four feet.
As for monks who have practiced high-grade techniques, monks who use foundation-building pills to break through or force breakthroughs, the true essence lakes created are about five feet long.
And it is said that monks who have practiced the best skills, used foundation-building pills or forced breakthroughs, can open up true essence lakes that can reach about six feet.
If you are a monk with a special physique bonus, you can increase it by about ten feet on the original basis. This bonus is extremely special.
Only monks with special physiques can possess it. Therefore, some monks who have not tested their physiques can often judge whether they have a special physique by the size of the true essence lake at this time. They can know by whether the size of the true essence lake is increased.
Generally speaking, special physiques can be divided into innate and acquired. The bonus of innate physique is often more than ten feet, and the bonus of acquired physique is often close to ten feet. The bonus is not small.
The physique of a monk is a top secret, so for any monk, the size and specific size of the lake of true energy formed in the space within the body is a monk's secret, just like the Dantian of the Qi Refining monk, the golden elixir of the Golden elixir monk, and the Nascent Soul. The monk’s Nascent Soul.
This is a secret that is not open to any monks except himself, because the space in a monk's body is exclusive. Once outsiders enter by force, they will only be enemies, and even close Taoist companions cannot explore it. This is the secret of immortality.
The True Essence Lake is called the Dao Foundation, which is the origin of the name of the Foundation Establishment Period. The Dao Foundation is the top secret of the monks.
Generally speaking, Daoji will not be easily damaged and is afraid of being damaged. Monks who use secret methods or evil methods to break through or take special elixirs, such as the Little Foundation Establishment Pill to break through the foundation building period, will suffer from Daoji. Due to the damage, the size of the true essence lake is generally only about one foot. Although you can enjoy the life span of the foundation building period, you lose the opportunity for subsequent cultivation and advancement because the Tao foundation is damaged.
In addition, during the Qi refining stage, doing something that damages the foundation or having a congenital lack of foundation will also cause damage to the foundation. Therefore, the monk's Dao foundation is very important.
Qi refining monks who have the opportunity, qualifications, and background strength will find ways to increase the size of the true essence lake during the qi refining stage.
For example, practicing high-level exercises to purify the spiritual energy in the body, cultivating the acquired physique, building a foundation before the golden age of 60, practicing until the Qi-refining Dzogchen breakthrough, breaking through to the second-level body-refining cultivation level during the Qi-refining period, etc.
These practices will allow Qi Refining monks to gain bonuses when opening true energy lakes, thereby taking advantage of them. However, it is difficult for ordinary monks to achieve just one of these conditions, let alone achieve multiple conditions. .
However, these conditions are not high for large sects and super large sects.
Therefore, the importance of the Dao Foundation is self-evident. If the Dao Foundation is really damaged, will the path to immortality be completely cut off?
In fact, this is not the case. Some powerful monks have studied it. When the foundation is damaged, the foundation is repaired. When the Dao foundation is damaged, the Dao foundation is repaired. It just requires the original thing.
The so-called origin things are things bred by heaven and earth. They can be used regardless of the level of the grade. From the origin of heaven and earth to the smallest spiritual stone and spiritual source, even the source of earth veins and other things related to the origin can be used to supplement the foundation or Tao. The base is damaged.
It's just that such an original thing is extremely rare, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to obtain it throughout their lives. In addition, a commonly used and relatively easy method to replenish the Dao foundation is to break through through body training. Opening up the Dao foundation a second time can also replenish the foundation.
The white-haired old man in the foundation building stage who was killed outside the old site of Hujia Village was also cultivating the body because he wanted to replenish the Tao foundation. However, the difficulty of body training was high, and he had not yet broken through to the second level of physical cultivation to open up the Tao foundation again.
Although you can open an additional Dao Foundation once when you break through the second level of body refining cultivation, opening the Dao Foundation twice can increase the Dao Foundation by up to one foot. This is the balance of heaven, otherwise the dual cultivation of Qi and body refining would have become popular long ago.
It is worth mentioning that the Tao Foundation opened by the body refiner is similar to that of the Qi refiner.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The larger the true energy lake opened during foundation building, the stronger the strength and the greater the potential will undoubtedly be.
However, the corresponding monks' cultivation speed will be slower and the more resources will be consumed. There are even many monks who have opened up the Jiuzhang Dao Foundation. Even if their life span is exhausted, they will not be able to practice to the perfection of foundation building and form elixirs.
The speed of cultivation is too slow and the supply of resources is insufficient. What is the point of being king and hegemony even during the foundation building period? Therefore, the size of the road foundation should be appropriate.
But more Qi Refining monks only think about breaking through the foundation building stage, and they don't think about opening up the foundation. If they can't pass the foundation building stage, then what's the point.
Just like what Hua Lanying thinks now, most high-level Qi refining monks consider that no matter what method they use to break through the foundation building stage, they have all kinds of secret methods, evil methods and special elixirs. 's appearance.
Closer to home, when the Xiantian True Fire opens up the Dao Foundation, that is, after opening up the True Yuan Lake, the monk can guide the True Yuan to circulate in the immortal veins and Dantian, and at the same time activate the Xiantian True Fire to baptize the monk's Dantian and Immortal Veins. In order to adapt to the movement of the true essence, and then use the true essence in the immortal veins to feed the meridians and baptize the whole body, it can be considered as a comprehensive breakthrough to the foundation building stage.
This whole-body baptism process cannot rely on external force, and can only be resisted by the physical body. Only the immortal veins and Dantian that have been baptized by the innate true fire can bear the flow of true energy. Only the body that has been baptized by the true energy can become a real body. A body without dirt or leakage.
This is the real reason why the foundation-building monks don't eat the fireworks of the world. They just eat the wind and drink the dew.
The three levels of foundation building are not difficult to say, easy or simple. These are all experiences, but every monk's breakthrough is different and the difficulty encountered is also different.
Maybe the first level is not difficult, but the second level is very difficult. Maybe you can't pass the first level, and some even fall down and pass out at the third level. There are all kinds of situations. Otherwise, why should you stop the foundation building level? Most of the monks.
Because there are too many variables, it’s like a multiple-choice question with too many possible answers.
For some casual cultivators and monks from small family sects, without the aid of elixirs, the probability of success in attacking the foundation is unimaginably low. However, the conditions for the Spirit Sword Sect and some second-grade sects to attack the foundation are Much better, this is also the most obvious portrayal of the law of the jungle.
If Yang Xian didn't have the original stone space and didn't get Li Qinglian's mantle, it would be extremely difficult to enter the foundation building stage. Chance and luck are very important.
At this point, the discussion between the five people on the foundation building period has basically ended, especially the sisters Jiang Yuxia and Ye. Because their cultivation levels are low, they have gained the most from this exchange experience and need to digest it carefully. The three of them have been there since noon. After digestion reached Xu hour, the three of them gradually woke up.
Yang Xian spent 300 spiritual stones to order a table of extremely sumptuous spiritual food and purchased a large amount of spiritual wine for tonight's family banquet. Although this spiritual food and spiritual wine is very expensive, it is indeed rare. For monks, it is the most suitable But it’s okay, I’m rich now, so I can eat freely.
The five people gathered around the reception hall on the second floor and officially started the family dinner.
"The road to immortality is long. With the company of all the ladies, we will walk together on the road to immortality no matter how long it is." Yang Xiandao.
"That's right, let's take a walk together." The four women said in unison. The five of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with light.
At this moment, Yang Xian felt deeply in his heart. He was a monk who had worked his way up from the lowest level. He had to go through many difficulties to get to where he is today. Although the road to immortality was long, he had to walk it.
At this time, Yang Xian seemed to have something, and he felt that the time to build the foundation had come.
Unexpectedly, a family banquet actually made me feel the opportunity to build the foundation. It seems that it is not accurate to say that the Qi Refining Great Perfection will be built naturally. Although the foundation can be built at any time without relying on the opportunity to build the foundation, it is still possible. It depends on the person. You cannot know autumn by seeing a fallen leaf. What if you encounter dead leaves that have been blown off by the wind in summer?
