Ning Tao doesn't know if Senior Brother Yang will give him the pill again, but if he can still maintain the progress among the other boys, he believes that he won't be far behind Yang Song and others in the future.
After resting for a while, Ning Tao poured out another pill, threw it into his mouth, and continued to practice...
The sun was setting in the west. After practicing all afternoon, Ning Tao felt that his meridians were swollen. He stood up and stretched, poured a glass of water and drank it. He walked out of the house and looked at the colorful sunset. He felt that his life was so fulfilling. .....
After a while, Zhang Yong, who had been practicing all afternoon, walked out of the house and saw Ning Tao standing outside the house. He stepped forward and said hello.
Then he hesitated and asked Ning Tao about his feelings about practicing. After Ning Tao learned that Zhang Yong had also achieved a breakthrough, he first expressed his joy.
Hearing this, Zhang Yong touched his head in embarrassment. Ning Tao didn't care when he saw this, and told him some insights after taking the elixir.
Zhang Yong saw that Ning Tao told him his feelings without reservation, and happily thanked Ning Tao.
Some Taoist boys who were about to go out for dinner saw the two standing there talking, so they invited them to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
Ning Tao learned from conversations with several people on the way that everyone has now broken through to the first level of Qi training and officially became an immortal cultivator.
Then several villains began to praise each other, but Ning Tao thought to himself at this time that it was so easy to break through the first level of Qi training, and he was making himself happy in vain.
After dinner, the few people returned to the house. Ning Tao recalled the key points of the dust removal technique and continued to practice. When his true energy was about to be exhausted, he stopped practicing and sat cross-legged on the bed to recover his true energy.
Seeing that night had fallen outside, he got up and walked out to the cliff of the back mountain. He walked through a rugged path and came to Senior Brother Yang's door. He knocked on the courtyard door a few times and it opened automatically.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw Senior Brother Yang sitting cross-legged and practicing. He carefully came to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. He took out the "Commentary on Basic Spiritual Medicine" from his arms and started to read it.
The moon gradually climbed up the branches, and the moon was bright in the sky. The courtyard was as clear as water, with shadows of bamboo and cypresses crisscrossing it. I saw Senior Brother Yang condensing his energy and gathering his strength, and a white line of practice in his mouth flew straight across the rice field.
Upon seeing this, Ning Tao put away the book in his hand, stood up and waited.
After finishing the practice, Senior Brother Yang opened his eyes and saw Ning Tao standing waiting. He greeted him with a smile and began to ask about the effects of practice.
After understanding it, he asked Ning Tao for the "Commentary on Basic Spiritual Medicine" and started teaching it.
Ning Tao stood behind him and listened carefully. When Senior Brother Yang felt that today's teaching was almost complete, he handed the book back to Ning Tao and waited for Ning Tao to ask questions.
Yang Feng answered Ning Tao's questions one by one, and then asked Ning Tao if he would practice the spells taught to him yesterday.
Ning Tao respectfully replied that he had mastered it, so Yang Feng asked Ning Tao to demonstrate it for him. When he saw that Ning Tao had really mastered it, he was ready to send Ning Tao away.
Seeing this, Ning Tao asked Senior Brother Yang, "Senior Brother Yang, Ning Tao has something to ask me!"
Yang Feng nodded, and Ning Tao then asked, "Senior brother, what state are you in now?"
Senior Brother Yang smiled and replied: "I am now at the twelfth level of the Great Perfection of Qi training."
Ning Tao was a little shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but express his thoughts: "Dzogchen, is there such a state of Qi training?"
Senior Brother Yang nodded when he heard this and said: "There are no general techniques. Most of them are about the ninth level of Qi training. After practicing, they are ready to break through the foundation building. However, our sect has some Qi training techniques that can break through this level and reach the level of Qi training." Another realm in the Qi stage, the Great Perfection of Qi training.”
After hearing this, Ning Tao continued to ask: "Is there any benefit to breaking through to the Great Perfection state of Qi training?"
When Yang Feng heard Ning Tao's question, he looked like a child who could be taught, and then replied: "It is true. The realm of Qi training is the most basic realm of immortal cultivation. The deeper the accumulation at this time, the deeper the foundation will be in the future."
When Ning Tao heard Yang Feng's affirmative answer, he nodded thoughtfully.
Yang Feng continued: "The maximum level of the Great Perfection of Qi Training is thirteen, but after breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Training, every level is very difficult, especially the twelve levels of Qi Training. The difficulty of breaking through is not much worse than when advancing to the foundation building level. "
Ning Tao was slightly shocked when he heard this. Yang Feng saw Ning Tao's surprised look, a smile appeared on his face, and continued: "At present, it is rare to hear of a monk who has reached the twelfth level of Qi training. The breakthrough failed when there were enough Foundation Establishment Pills."
After saying this, without waiting for Ning Tao to continue questioning, he told Ning Tao that it was too early to know about the matter at this time, and that these matters would be discussed after he became a formal disciple, and then sent him away.
Upon seeing this, Ning Tao bowed and resigned.
Looking at Ning Tao's leaving figure, Senior Brother Yang shook his head and laughed, and continued to meditate and practice.
After leaving the courtyard, Ning Tao returned to the cliff behind the mountain, punched several times, broke out in a stinky sweat, and walked towards his residence under the moonlight...
Rivers were covered with snow, thousands of miles of ice covered mountains, mountains and mountains were covered with snow, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
A young man wearing a thin green robe, holding a big broom in his hand, swept the courtyard covered with snow up to his ankles.
From under the bare old trees in the courtyard, sweep to the entrance of the courtyard, along the winding path leading to the courtyard, sweeping all the way outward.
When we arrived at the cliff at the back of the mountain, we saw a group of children practicing Qi Entrainment in front of the cliff, showing their nostalgia.
As spring passes, autumn comes, and winter comes, I look at the Taoist boy Huang Jie who is still practicing hard in heavy cotton robes.
At this time, Ning Tao couldn't help but sigh, if he hadn't worked so hard when he first came, I'm afraid he would be like these boys now, still working hard to become a Xuan-level Taoist boy!
The Taoist cultivators didn't seem to see Ning Tao's arrival and were focusing on their own cultivation.
Feeling that the cleaning was almost done, Ning Tao picked up the broom and walked towards Senior Brother Yang's courtyard...
It is said that Ning Tao has been in the Yaowang Sect for almost a year. Since becoming a Xuanjie Taoist boy, he seems to have entered the fast lane.
In the first two months, Ning Tao was able to master almost all Taoist texts under the guidance of Senior Brother Yang.
Feeling that his status as a Xuan-level Taoist boy seemed to limit his progress, he applied to Senior Brother Yang to start the assessment of the Earth-level Taoist boy in advance.
Seeing Ning Tao like this, the other Xuan-level Taoist boys also joined in and started the assessment of the Earth-level Taoist boys in advance, but unfortunately, only half of them passed this time.
These children who have passed the Taoist examination on the ground level are selected by the brothers who are responsible for various matters in the Taoist courtyard, and enter the canteen, medicine room, and utility room under their respective control, or they are arranged to become assistants to some teaching brothers to help manage and arrange the rest of the children. The Taoist boy's life, study, and cultivation.
At this time, the boys who became Taoist boys on the ground level discovered that in addition to daily benefits, they could also enter the small canteen at the back of the canteen and enjoy the same spiritual food as the teaching brothers.
And they can also receive their own remuneration. Not only is this treatment on the surface, they can also accept it from time to time, and each follow the small stoves opened by their senior brother, teaching them many things that they cannot learn in the classroom.
This kind of appearance makes the children who have not become Taoist children of the earth class feel hot and envious. This also makes the entire Taoist Academy no longer have the lazy look that appeared at the beginning.
Ning Tao, who had broken through to the Qi training stage, gradually discovered that his mind seemed to be smarter, he could remember things faster, and his understanding ability had also improved. He could remember knowledge that he had to memorize hard in the past in just a few glances.
Therefore, those Taoist boys who became Xuan-level Taoists and successfully broke through to the Qi-training stage entered the fast lane. When they became Earth-level Taoist boys, everyone realized that it made a big difference whether they had a senior or not.
Moreover, everyone learned from the senior brother that there is a limit on the number of Taoist boys who can be brought along by the senior brother to practice together. Each senior brother can only lead two Taoist boys to assist him in managing daily affairs.
There are less than thirty teaching brothers in the entire Tao Tong Academy, which makes many Tao Tong who have ideas in their hearts very urgent and work hard, lest others take advantage of them first.
...
Back in the courtyard, the cold wind was biting outside, and gusts of cold wind shook the branches outside the courtyard, but the inside of the courtyard seemed like a different world.
In the main room with the door open, a half-person-high brass alchemy stove sits in the middle. Several futons are scattered around. A rather charming Chinese character 'Dao' hangs on the wall in the middle. The incense burner on the floor emits curls of green smoke. , several bookshelves are placed on the walls on both sides.
Seeing that there was still no one in the courtyard, he remembered that Senior Brother Yang had told him the day before yesterday that he would go out for a few days and let Ning Tao practice on his own for these two days. Ning Tao first went to the main room of the small courtyard and picked up the book he had not read yesterday from the bookshelf. "The Complete Book of Processing" and read the content on how to deal with elixirs.
After a while, Ning Tao, who felt a little tired, returned to the small room assigned to him by his senior brother in the yard and sat cross-legged on the futon on the bed.
He took out the elixir from a one-meter-square storage bag that the Taoist boy on Chengdiji received from his waist, poured one out and put it into his mouth, and began to practice the exercises.
At this moment, Ning Tao is seen sitting cross-legged like an old monk in samadhi. His eyes are watching his nose, his nose is watching his heart, and his mind is guarding his Dantian. The brilliance of his body is flowing, and the brilliance is even brighter than when he first practiced. He looks like he has profound cultivation.
There was no time to practice, and the time soon came to noon. In the middle, Ning Tao stopped practicing and poured out a few pills. After taking them, he continued to practice.
After finishing practicing, Ning Tao spit out a long breath of white practice, and he actually looked like a master.
Picking up the jade pendant hanging from his neck, he saw that the jade pendant, which was originally as white as jade, had a little more impurities than when he first started practicing. Thinking of the effect of the jade pendant in refining true energy, he had already made a conjecture in his mind.
I guess this mysterious jade pendant is not without any side effects. Every time I practice and refine my true essence through the jade pendant, the impurities in my true essence are probably absorbed by the jade pendant.
I just don't know if there is any way to remove the impurities. If I can't remove the impurities from the jade pendant, I'm afraid that after a while, the jade pendant will no longer be usable.
