Master Jia was also a little speechless, thinking: "I am asking you, why are you asking me back?" However, Chen Fan looked a little stunned and said: "You were reading the scripture just now, and suddenly a large number of people poured in from outside the house. I saw that you were practicing according to the postures set out in the scriptures, and the water vapor that poured into the house also surged towards your body, so I asked this question."
Chen Fan finally calmed down and felt his whole body carefully. He felt refreshed and his whole body was comfortable. What was different from the past was that there was gas gathering in his lower Dantian. This was a feeling of Qi. Chen Fan felt happy in his heart. Said: "Master, I feel that there is gas gathering in the Dantian. This should be a sense of Qi. Has the gas collection been successful?"
Master Jia is also a little dizzy. He has heard of people falling into silence quickly, but never seen one so fast. What does this mean to Master Jia? After thinking for a while, he said: "Fasheng, have you ever practiced meditation before? Martial arts is called meditation." Master Jia was a little unsure, so he had better understand Chen Fan's situation before.
"No." Chen Fan shook his head and said, "But I have practiced external martial arts. A Qing taught me some boxing movements and breathing. I don't know if that counts?"
"That doesn't count, but it will be helpful for you to practice the swordsmanship and Taoism in the next volume. What our Taoist sect pursues is the way to immortality, so we focus on cultivating true essence. With true essence, we can be reborn and transcendent. Therefore, practice the true essence first, and then practice Taoism. But it does not mean that Taoism is unimportant. Taoism is a tool to protect the Tao. On the road, you will always encounter difficulties and obstacles, as well as fights with people, and you need to rely on Taoism to kill them. , if you are accidentally beheaded, everything will be in vain. After you practice the first volume, you can then practice the second volume. As for the middle volume, in our current world, spiritual power is too thin, so it’s okay not to practice." Master Jia naturally put the cultivation skills into practice. He told Chen Fan some of the things he thought were important.
"What is thin spiritual power?" Chen Fan has long heard that there were immortals in ancient times, but in the past thousand years, they have never appeared again. It is probably related to the thin spiritual power mentioned by Master Jia. In fact, Chen Fan could understand that spiritual power was thin. After all, he had read so many novels, and it was probably related to the quality of the air. However, in order to lead the master to continue talking, he couldn't help but follow Master Jia's words and ask.
"When you were practicing just now, you absorbed water vapor. When this gas enters the human body, it needs to be refined before it can be transformed into true essence. The gas contained in the water vapor that can be converted into true essence is called spiritual power. The amount of spiritual energy determines how quickly we can convert it into true energy. Now compared to ancient times, the spiritual energy contained in the gas is much less, causing our cultivation speed to become slower and slower. Only after a long period of accumulation, the true energy can be Yuan Cai has reached a certain level, so now let alone ascension, even if you want to reach the innate realm, it is becoming more and more difficult." Master Jia said a little sadly.
"Master, what's going on with the ascension?" In fact, Chen Fan also understood the literal meaning of ascension, but how to soar and where to fly was beyond Chen Fan's knowledge.
"Ascension is to leave this world and go to a world full of spiritual power, where you can become an immortal. To ascend, you need to have the power to break the barriers of this world. Thousands of years ago, Nie Kong and Sun Er did it. In the past thousand years, , I have never heard of anyone being able to ascend."
"Master, I think I heard A Qing mention it about Nie Kong and Sun Er. It is said that they are martial arts practitioners. What is the difference between martial arts and cultivation?" Chen Fan has always heard about martial arts and cultivation. What is the difference between the two, but he has no idea. .
"Martial arts is about sensing the qi and blood in the body. Cultivating internal strength mainly relies on refining the qi and blood in the body and condensing internal strength. The source of qi and blood mainly comes from food and elixirs; cultivation is mainly about sensing and refining gases from the outside world. The spiritual power in the body is used to cultivate the true essence. The true essence is different from the internal power. It is more condensed and of higher quality than the internal power. The internal power can be transformed into the true essence by relying on the exercises, so cultivating the internal power is also helpful for cultivating the true essence."
"Then why are Nie Kong and Sun Er able to ascend through martial arts training, but I haven't heard of anyone ascending through cultivation?"
"It's not that you can't practice cultivation. It used to be possible to ascend through cultivation, but now you don't. This is related to the current environment, and there is not enough research on how to ascend. But now you can practice martial arts, which may have nothing to do with the last level of martial arts training. Regarding leakage, martial arts divides the realm into four levels, which are meditation, breathing in and out, movement of qi, and no leakage. The so-called no leakage means that the physical body is flawless, the internal force is harmonious, and the fetal breath can be breathed. These three points are actually the innate realm of cultivation. Both can be achieved, but the difference is that the flawless body of cultivation is obtained by the feedback of true energy, while the flawless body of martial arts is obtained by practicing external skills and polishing it over time. In addition, the internal power of martial arts is harmonious, and the internal power can be controlled according to the heaven and earth all the time. But the harmony of the true energy is running in the state of meditation. If you want to act as usual and still keep the true energy moving according to the sky, no one has done it yet, because martial arts can refine the qi and blood by doing this. , increasing internal strength can lead to cultivation, but it cannot absorb external gas and increase true energy, so I have not heard of anyone successfully researching how to do this."
"Then how did they ascend? Did they fly to the sky?"
"It is said that they used to fly to the sky, but not now, at least neither of them, they entered the passage to another world. It is said that due to the reduction of spiritual power, when the immortal left, people who knew this world would not be able to do so in the future. He has the power to fly into the air, let alone ascend, so a passage to the fairy world is left in this world. As long as the barrier is broken, a passage will appear, and if you enter the passage, you can reach another world. Nie Kong and Sun Er We went in, but no one knows what the final outcome will be.”
"Then Master still knows how to break down barriers?"
"Martial arts says that internal force resonates with physical strength, while cultivation talks about the resonance of true energy and spiritual consciousness, which are shot into the air. Once the barrier hidden in space is broken, a vortex will appear, which is the entrance to another world. , flying into the vortex, you can reach a world full of spiritual energy. As for whether it is the legendary fairyland, I don't know. This is what we call 'ascension' now. But no one has succeeded in cultivating resonance. As for how to achieve this I don’t even know about the resonance method.”
"Thank you, Master." Although Master Jia didn't know the resonance method, Chen Fan at least knew what Feixian was and what the last step of cultivation in this world was.
"Daoxuan, you have entered tranquility now. The next thing you rely on is water milling skills. You have practiced until now and get ready for dinner." Master Jia saw that it was already late. Chen Fan could say that he had gained a lot today. It was time to stop and adjust. state.
Chen Fan happily obeyed and was quite satisfied with the results of today's practice. The two of them came out of the Sutra Collection Pavilion. There was a little Taoist boy waiting at the door. It turned out that Gu Ye sent someone to find Master Jia. They had been there for a while. When they saw Master Jia, they immediately ran forward and said, "Master, Gu Senior brother sent me to find you, something happened to Xiao Langjun, and he is now in Dongyue Hall."
"What could happen in the Taoist temple? Isn't Gu Ye accompanying me?" Master Jia asked with a frown.
"It seems that when I visited Zhenwu Palace, I received the inheritance from Emperor Zhenwu, which alarmed Palace Master Xu of Zhenwu Palace. Now he is waiting for the mage to come over and discuss how to resolve the matter."
"How is this possible after receiving the inheritance from Emperor Zhenwu?" Master Jia lost his voice. The Zhenwu Palace has been established for at least a thousand years. Over the years, not only hundreds of millions but also tens of millions of people have visited and worshiped. So many people have not noticed it. When they get to Xiao Qing, how can he get it? What kind of luck is this?
Chen Fan was also a little surprised. Shouldn't the inheritance of Emperor Zhenwu be the "Northern Zhenwu Xuanjing"? Why did Xiao Qing get it too? He didn't say anything at the moment and waited quietly to see how Master Jia would handle it.
"It should be true. Palace Master Xu is planning to accept Xiao Langjun as his disciple. This cannot be false." Tao Tong replied.
"Let's go and see what's going on." After Master Jia finished speaking, he returned to Dongyue Hall with Chen Fan and Tao Tong.
There were six people sitting in the main hall of Dongyue Hall at this time. In addition to Chen Fan's senior brother Gu Ye and the client Xiao Qing, there were also the eldest brother, Master Huang, and two Taoist priests. The Taoist priest sitting in the middle was whom Chen Fan had seen in the meeting hall, and he thought he was Palace Master Xu.
Seeing the arrival of Master Jia, the six people all stood up. Taoist Master Zhongzhong was the first to speak: "Junior Brother Jia, you are finally back. Your guest has obtained the inheritance of the great emperor in my palace today. You cannot let this person go." Let’s go, you’re here just in time, come with me to see the temple master.”
"Palace Master Xu, please wait a moment. We must meet the temple master, but we need to find out things first. What is going on? What kind of inheritance did he obtain in your Zhenwu Palace that can make you so excited, Palace Master? " Master Jia said not to rush, but only after the situation is clarified can things be done.
"What you get is sword yuan." Palace Master Xu replied affirmatively.
"Jian Yuan!" Master Jia, who had always been calm, lost his composure, "Why does your Zhenwu Palace have Jian Yuan?"
"I don't know this either. I was in the Zhenwu Hall at that time, and suddenly I felt a wave of worship in the air. I immediately sensed it and saw golden light pouring out from the statue of Emperor Zhenwu. It was pure and strong, and it was the same as the golden light. The records in the book are exactly the same. It was the sword essence that had disappeared from heaven and earth for a long time. Unexpectedly, it was hidden in the statue of Emperor Zhenwu and directly entered Xiao Langjun's body. It was enough to be worth twenty years of hard work for others. Years!" Palace Master Xu sighed with emotion.
Xiao Qing was a little confused at the time. When he put his hand on the scabbard of the statue, he felt a cool breeze, but he didn't see any golden light. He felt that this gas was very important to him. Fortunately, he felt that the gas was very important to him. I have some understanding of martial arts and know that I need to guide the gas into the Dantian. I subconsciously followed the instructions in the vomiting and guided the gas down to the Dantian. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and the influx of gas ended after a while. The only discomfort was Even now, I still feel that my Dantian is faintly swollen.
Chen Fan was watching, and he was also envious. It was so fast, and he had been collecting Qi for twenty years. Think about yourself, he just started collecting Qi today. Even though the geniuses in the Taoist temple took a little longer to enter the stage of Qi collecting, It is estimated that it will only take an extra month or two at most. Although my progress is fast, the time saved is actually limited. Compared with Xiao Qing's twenty years, it is really too slow. Yes, it is too slow. , Chen Fan suddenly felt that his cultivation speed was still not fast enough!
