The first level of practice is to open the meridians. To open the meridians, it is necessary to open up the meridians of the human body and only enter the Dantian. Everyone has meridians, but not everyone has spiritual roots. Those without spiritual roots will not be able to break through the realm of opening channels throughout their lives, and can only be regarded as ordinary masters.
There are two ways to open the meridians, namely external force and internal force. The external force continuously tempers the roots and bones to achieve full Qi and blood, thereby opening up the meridians, or taking a medicinal bath to force them out with the power of medicine. Internal strength comes from elixirs or long-term consumption of beneficial foods.
These two methods are the most common methods. If a disciple of the Sanqing Dao Sect has no cultivation, the sect will provide spiritual food every day, take medicinal baths in the morning, and supplement them with exercises and elixirs, and they can usually be cured within one or two years. After all the meridians are opened, the Qi is introduced into the body under the guidance of the Foundation Establishment Elder to reach the second level of practice.
The second level of practice is to practice Qi. In the realm of Qi training, the Dantian is opened, and the meridians are unobstructed. Those with spiritual roots can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, incorporate it into the meridians, travel around the sky, and accumulate in the Dantian. The realm of Qi training is divided into three realms, the Nine Heavens, which are three levels in the early stage of Qi training, three levels in the middle stage of Qi training, and three levels in the late stage of Qi training. After the ninth level of Qi training, it is the Great Perfection of Qi training. The spiritual power contained in the Dantian is enough to break through the Qi training realm and reach the next level.
However, there are all kinds of conditions in the world, and there are some special methods that are enough to reach the twelfth level of Qi training.
The third level of practice is to build the foundation. Build the foundation realm, build the foundation of the great road. The spiritual power of the Dantian is condensed into a liquid. The spiritual power in the body is ten times stronger than that of Qi Practicing Dzogchen. It can fly with a sword and has a lifespan of two hundred.
There are three methods of foundation building, low-grade elixirs to build the foundation, medium-grade five elements to build the foundation, high-grade heavenly foundation to build the foundation, and third-grade foundation building methods. The fundamental difference lies in the size of the Dantian and the purity of the spiritual power after the foundation is built.
Most of the foundation-building monks in this world rely on the lowest elixirs to build their foundations. Even if they use elixirs to build their foundations, foundation-building elixirs are extremely rare. As a disciple of a sect, you naturally have more benefits, such as It is said that when a disciple reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Training, he can receive a Foundation Establishment Pill. If he fails and leaves the sect at the age of forty, the sect can sell the disciple a Foundation Establishment Pill at half price.
The medium Five Elements Foundation Building uses the huge spiritual power of the Five Elements Spirit Pool and the pure spiritual energy to condense the Dantian spiritual power, and once again open up and expand the Dantian. The time of foundation building is the only opportunity to change the size of the Dantian on the path of cultivation, and it is also a way to create a great path in the future. The foundation, the extension of lifespan, and the surge in cultivation are regarded as the threshold between immortals and mortals.
Superior heavenly foundation building. This method requires the help of heaven and earth spiritual objects to build the foundation. There are not many heaven and earth spiritual objects that can be used for foundation building, and they also need to match their own spiritual root attributes, which are even rarer. At the same time, this method also Depending on the level of the practitioner's understanding, the foundation of the Heavenly Way will be directly pointed to the Heavenly Way, and it will also give the practitioner a chance to catch a glimpse of the mystery of the Heavenly Way. Those with high understanding will have a high chance of being born with magical powers.
Among the three methods of foundation building, there is no superior heavenly foundation building. Only monks who successfully build the foundation will use six or seven elixirs to build the foundation, twenty-three or five elements to build the foundation, and only monks who can't build the foundation will have a chance. The foundation of heaven.
Breaking through from Qi training to foundation building requires a lot of spiritual power. It is extremely difficult to break through by yourself. With the help of the foundation building pill, you can be 20% more sure.
"The sect's foundation-building pill is not free."
Situ Yang waved a red-gold folding fan inlaid with various kinds of jade, with a haughty look on his face, "I will allow you to follow me to the Tianyuan Secret Realm this time. When the time comes, my treasure-hunting rats will be invincible. "
So it's no wonder that Situ Yang, who never comes to the party, came here for the secret realm trial in three months.
Sanqing Dao Sect has three major secret realms, one of which is Tianyuan Secret Realm. Tianyuan Secret Realm is different from other secret realms. Countless elixirs and genius treasures grow in it. Unfortunately, Tianyuan Secret Realm cannot be opened all the time, nor can it stay there all the time. in.
In the Tianyuan Secret Realm, time passes at a different speed than the outside world. Three days in the secret realm and one day in the outside world are three times the speed of time. If one stays in it for a few more years, the moment one comes out, one may immediately age three times.
The increase in bone age is irreversible.
This is why there are so many elixirs and genius treasures in Tianyuan Secret Realm.
The Tianyuan Secret Realm consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy, which is countless times more than the Phantom Secret Realm. In addition, in order to give the elixirs and genius treasures in the secret realm time to grow, it is only opened every ten years.
This once-in-ten-year opening is called the Secret Realm Trial in the Outer Mountains.
Only disciples with cultivation levels above the late stage of Qi training and below foundation building can sign up to participate. The top five in the secret realm trial can get a chance to build the five elements foundation. The remaining disciples, if they pick enough within one month after the secret realm trial starts, Three Foundation-Building Pills, the three major elixirs, can be exchanged for one low-grade Foundation-Building Pill when handed over to the sect. Ten plants can be exchanged for medium foundation building pills. Thirty plants can be exchanged for high-quality foundation-building pills.
The main medicines required for the three foundation-building pills are not difficult to find in the Tianyuan secret realm where there are many elixirs.
Of course, this is what the senior brothers and sisters said in previous years.
The disciples who participated in the trial did indeed redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill in seven out of ten cases. This shows that the sect did not deliberately embarrass the disciples. However, the sect's move also meant that the sect would not raise disciples in vain.
You get what you pay for.
Disciples need to find opportunities themselves.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is rare, and the main medicine is hard to find. The Foundation Establishment Pill is only a second-grade elixir, and the difficulty of refining it is not high. However, the main medicine is extremely rare.
The senior brothers and sisters are indeed not lying. There are elixirs everywhere in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. However, the main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill requires elixirs that are more than a hundred years old. Even the unusual time flow rate in the Tianyuan Secret Realm would still take three to four times if replaced by outside time. A group matures in ten years, but during these thirty or forty years, there were three or four waves of disciples entering the secret realm to search.
In today's secret realm, foundation-building pills that are over a century old are very rare.
Therefore, in order to balance the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the sect revised the requirements for the Secret Realm trial a hundred years ago. Each time, the three main medicines of the Foundation Establishment Pill and the two main medicines of the Dingyan Pill will be rotated between these two types of elixirs. This method is indeed effective, at least the secret realm maintains a basic balance.
This time, it was the turn of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The secret realm is very big. Half of the one-month trial time was spent searching. It would have been much faster if Situ Yang's treasure-hunting rats were there.
"You get along well with many senior brothers and sisters, why don't you join them?" Yu Xiaoxiao didn't like Situ Yang very much. Maybe Situ Yang was too flamboyant, as his name suggests.
Situ Yang shook his folding fan and looked a little embarrassed, "They all want those five places."
Many old disciples are not in a hurry to break through Qi training and reach Foundation Establishment, just to wait for the five Five Elements Foundation Establishment quota in this secret realm trial, and continue to suppress their cultivation. For them, Situ Yang is like this. The new juniors can cooperate, but the collected elixir, while ensuring each person has a low-grade foundation-building pill, will first be provided to them to sprint to the top five, and they will make up for it afterwards. If they can successfully build the Five Elements Foundation, To become a foundation-building monk is to find a high-quality foundation-building pill for them, so why not.
It's a pity that Situ Yang also wants those five places.
The vast majority of people here want those five places.
“We form an alliance and level the playing field.”
In the secret realm, fighting is not prohibited. As long as the disciples' lives are not harmed, the sect will not interfere. In other words, there will never be peace in the secret realm, and it is not safe to walk alone.
This is also one of the reasons why Situ Yang seeks to form an alliance, and one of the reasons why old disciples win over new disciples.
