"It turns out that this is the elixir garden of the Meishan Wawu Sect. No wonder there are restrictions and fluctuations."
Huang Ming nodded.
"Fellow Taoist, since this is your medicinal garden forbidden area, we won't go up there."
"But we are all of the same mind, so it's okay to chat for a while, right?"
"Chat? What's there to talk about?"
"This mountain is full of spiritual energy, and the disciples stationed in our sect are actively practicing in the mountain."
"I also happened to be here on the orders of the deacon of the medicine garden to go out to fetch things."
"Please go back and don't disturb me."
The big man shook his head.
He always felt that Huang Ming and Xiao Hua had some unknown origins and didn't want to say more.
"Oh, by the way, I want to advise you two."
"Although most of the immortal cultivators in this world hide themselves away from the world and rarely appear in public"
"The outer restrictions of our medicine garden are just a lost illusion array set up for mortals."
"But the inner layer is an offensive array designed for immortal cultivators."
"I advise you not to go in privately, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
After finishing speaking, the big man ignored Huang Ming and Xiao Hua, closed the door and walked towards the path behind the house.
"Hey, hey, fellow Taoist, what are you in a hurry for?"
"We have no intention of going up there, we just want to share our cultivation experience with you."
Xiao Hua was unwilling and shouted.
"Exchanging cultivation experiences?".
The big man stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Hua and Huang Ming, and suddenly smiled.
"Hehehe... you are only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining period."
"Are you afraid that your cultivation experience will be useless to me?"
"If you are willing to pay the spirit stones, then I can give you some pointers."
"Pay spiritual stones? Okay"
"But in addition to telling us some cultivation experience, you also have to answer some questions we want to know."
Xiao Hua was secretly happy.
"Yes, as long as it doesn't involve our sect's secrets."
The big man felt happy, turned around and walked back.
"Then how many spiritual stones do you want?".
Xiao Hua asked.
"Well, well, although spiritual stones are precious, cultivation experience is also rare."
"Sometimes you can't buy it even if you have spiritual stones, so you have to pay me at least five low-level spiritual stones."
This big man can receive three low-level spiritual stones from the sect every month.
He felt that receiving five pills was a big deal.
"You want five? No, you just said a few words and you want five?"
"It's too expensive, can it be less?"
Xiao Hua found it too expensive without even thinking about it.
He didn't know the value of spiritual stones, but he had developed the habit of bargaining for many years in business.
No matter how much you offer, he will definitely counteroffer.
"Then just four. No more. If it's less, you can leave."
"Okay, four will be four."
Huang Ming quickly agreed because he was afraid that Xiao Hua would make more money again.
If the big man is really angry and goes away, then their visit will be in vain.
"Then two of you, come with me."
The big man returned to the hut, opened the door, and invited Xiao Hua and Huang Ming into the house.
After inviting the two of them to sit down at a wooden table, he ran next door to make a pot of tea.
"Okay, what do you want to know? Ask and I'll try my best to answer."
The big man put his hands on the table, pretending to know everything and prepared to answer.
"Then let me ask first, uh, fellow Taoist, I want to ask something."
"How did you know that we are immortal cultivators, and we are only at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage?"
"Is there any way to do this? Is it complicated?"
Xiao Hua asked first.
He wanted to know how to identify immortal cultivators and their cultivation realm.
"Oh, this is simple. All immortal cultivators have spiritual roots."
"Even if you haven't formally practiced yet, your spiritual roots will have a trace of spiritual power fluctuations."
"If you want to identify it, just use your spiritual thoughts to find out."
"What? You don't know?".
Seeing Huang Ming and Xiao Hua's confused expressions, the big man shook his head curiously and helplessly.
"This divine thought is just a thought, you just need to concentrate."
The big man added.
"This, uh, I'm not asking about how to use spiritual thoughts."
"What I'm asking is how to use spiritual thoughts to distinguish a person's cultivation level."
"If it's just spiritual thoughts, then how could we not?"
Xiao Hua defended himself.
He knew that Divine Mind could be used to read jade slips, but he really didn't know the other uses of Divine Mind.
However, the secret cannot be exposed at this time, and the man can only kill him with one bite. This is the big man's misunderstanding.
"Oh, I understand. You asked how to use spiritual thoughts to distinguish the realm of immortal cultivators. This is also simple."
"Every person who cultivates immortality will have mana aura and aura fluctuations generated by cultivation."
"Like during our Qi refining period, there will be a faint gray light on our body."
"The brighter the light, the stronger the aura, which means the higher the other party's realm."
"For example, the gray light on your body is not bright, and the aura is average, but it can still be seen."
"That means you are probably only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining stage."
"As for me, look, the gray light and aura on my body are much stronger."
"Because I am already at the tenth level of Qi refining stage, I can build the foundation immediately."
The big man was a little proud.
He deliberately raised his hand to let Huang Ming and Xiao Hua see the gray light on his body.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua quickly looked at each other with their spiritual thoughts.
Sure enough, both of them had a faint gray light.
Looking at the big man opposite, the gray light on his body is very obvious, much brighter than the two of them.
"So that's the case, then how to distinguish the subsequent Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage?"
"Oh, by the way, what do you call your friend?"
Xiao Hua asked next.
"Li Kui, a disciple of the spiritual medicine garden of Wawu Sect in Xia Meishan".
The big man bowed his hands to Xiao Hua and Huang Ming.
"In the subsequent foundation building period, the mana aura on my body will be white."
"The golden elixir stage is golden, the Nascent Soul stage is purple, and I don't know about the divine transformation stage. I have never seen it."
"But the aura is only one of them. It can also be judged by the strength of the breath fluctuations."
"Then if it's not a human monk, but a demon cultivator from a foreign race, can you tell?"
Somehow, Xiao Hua suddenly thought of the Minotaur in the cave.
"Demon cultivators and demon cultivators? Well, I don't know about that. I've never seen them before."
"But I think anyone who is a cultivator should be able to see it."
"Unless the other party has practiced special techniques to restrain the breath."
"If this is the case, not to mention that monks of the same level cannot see it, even monks of one level higher may not be able to see it."
Li Kui added.
"I see, well, then I still want to ask for advice."
"How long does it usually take to practice from the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage?"
"How long does it take from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage? And from the golden elixir stage to the Nascent Soul stage."
Xiao Hua continued to ask.
He already had the "Qi Refining Heart Technique" given by Huang Ming and wanted to know the training time.
"Well, how do you say this?"
"Because of the different spiritual root qualifications, the time for everyone to practice and advance is also different."
"Normally, without a large amount of elixirs or special opportunities"
"It takes one to several years to advance each level of the Qi refining period, and the further it goes, the longer it takes."
"Especially after foundation building, each level will take several years, more than ten years, or even decades or hundreds of years."
"In fact, the most critical thing is not time, but the bottlenecks we will encounter in the process of cultivation."
"Once you break through the bottleneck, you can advance. If you can't break through, you are likely to stay at this level forever."
"So it's really hard to say when this cultivation will advance."
"You mean you can advance smoothly without any training bottlenecks?"
"But if there is a bottleneck and you can't break through it, will you stay there forever?"
"If this is the case, what's the point of continuing to practice for those who have bottlenecks in practice?"
Xiao Hua was a little nervous.
The Minotaur actually said that there would be no cultivation bottleneck for the spiritual roots opened the day after tomorrow using the Spirit Opening Pill.
But Xiao Hua didn't dare to fully believe that Minotaur.
What if opening the spiritual elixir is a trap and it will always be the sixth level of the Qi refining stage?
After all, spiritual roots are all innate. If you use spiritual medicine to forcefully open them the day after tomorrow, is there no problem?
