With the joy of breaking through, Li Ye meditated in the small courtyard for three days without going out.
While reviewing the various encounters after obtaining the sixth-level mental method from Qingliang Temple in Baiyu City.
Only then did he realize that it only took him more than half a year to practice this level of skill to perfection.
Even though I was happy, I was also worried. I didn’t know how to find the elixir needed for the seventh level. After thinking about it, I had no choice but to go to Xuantian to ask Mr. Guan.
The night before he decided to leave Prajna Temple and go to Xuantian Temple, Li Ye cooked a pot of mushroom and bamboo shoot porridge and invited Minghui and Wuyou to come to the small courtyard to get together.
When Wuyou walked in and saw his uncle there, he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to leave, but Minghui called out to him, and then he honestly walked in and sat down next to Li Ye.
"Junior brother Wuyou and I picked mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the back mountains in autumn. They are just good for filling our stomachs when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow."
Li Ye smiled and served a bowl of porridge to Minghui and Wuyou, and he also picked up a bowl and took a sip.
Smelling the fragrant porridge, Ming Hui said with a smile: "Although we don't eat after lunch in the temple, we can still practice hungry and eat when we need to."
Xiao Wuyou held the bowl and sniffed it vigorously, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He smiled and said: "The porridge cooked by my junior uncle is still delicious, surpassing the skills of the senior brothers in the Zhaitang."
Minghui added: "It's not just delicious, it's simply delicious."
Li Ye recalled the old ape's expression when he ate porridge for the first time on Tianshan Mountain, and couldn't help but feel a warm memory in his heart.
Looking at the old man and the young man, he said with a smile: "The water is spring water in the mountains, the rice is ordinary rice bought in Fodu, and the mushrooms and bamboo shoots were picked in the back mountains with Wuyou and my sister. They are all the most ordinary. ingredients.”
"Being able to use the simplest ingredients to cook the most delicious porridge is indeed good. The same is true for practice. Being able to practice the simplest moves to the extreme is also a very remarkable skill."
Ming Hui gently blew the hot air on the bowl and said with a smile.
Li Ye was startled, thinking of the sword move Zhanxue that he had been practicing so hard. It was just the simplest move, and he didn't even use his true energy. However, after several years of hard training, he gradually got better.
He looked down at the steaming porridge in the bowl and smiled silly.
He said softly: "Cooking porridge is very simple, as long as you have the intention to do it, but practicing is a lot more difficult, and it does not happen overnight."
Wuyou glanced at Minghui and then at Li Ye.
After thinking for a while, he asked timidly: "Uncle, junior uncle, are you two practicing meditation? Why can't I understand you well, junior brother?"
When Minghui heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then gently put down the bowl in her hand and glanced at him.
He said kindly: "Practitioners pay attention to step-by-step... Breaking through at the right time. Buddhist disciples not only have to practice various exercises, but also listen to the Tao in one day after years of hard work. ....and then there was an epiphany.”
"Is this what the master said about listening, thinking and cultivating? These profound teachings turned into easy-to-understand principles in the master's mouth. The disciple was really happy after listening to them."
Xiao Wuyou looked up at Minghui. This time he was not timid, his big eyes were shining.
Li Ye looked at his appearance and couldn't help but interjected: "Wuyou, please understand what Uncle Minghui said. If you understand it well, it will be worth your years of hard training... After you go back, you can understand it well." Practice, maybe when I come back from Xuantian Temple, you can break through one or two realms."
Wuyou was so happy that he looked at Li Ye and said, "Uncle, are you leaving? When will you come back? Wuyou will miss you."
Li Ye looked at his cute look and couldn't help laughing.
Looking at him, he said: "I just went to Xuantian on the north slope to watch where my husband, wife and sister are practicing."
Wuyou nodded after hearing this, finally relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him and giggled.
"I won't be here for long and I'll be back. If there's anything urgent in the temple, you can come to Xuantian Temple to find me."
Li Ye thought for a while and said softly. He thought that if something really happened, he would find him in a safe place.
Minghui nodded, looked at Wuyou and said, "It is normal in life to get together, separate, and reunite. It is also true that there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever."
"Master also said this, and disciples can understand it." Wuyou looked at the two of them and nodded gently.
"Cultivation is a lonely process from the beginning to the end. Wuyou, you have to learn to face these things, just like your senior brother leaves unintentionally."
Minghui looked at him, continued half of what he said before, and then finished.
When Wuyou heard Minghui talking about Wuxin, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He lowered his head and replied: "What my uncle said is absolutely true. It's just that the disciples are stupid and can't help but feel sad about the senior brother's coming down the mountain and the young junior uncle's departure..."
Li Ye patted the table gently and said with a smile: "Eat while the porridge is still hot."
Ming Hui was startled and looked at Li Ye's light gray face with deep thoughts.
Then he looked at Wuyou beside him and said, "That's right, eat when you eat. Wuyou, it's cold, so eat two more bowls."
"Thank you, Junior Master and Senior Uncle. You should think about it carefully when you go back Wuyou."
Wuyou looked at the two of them and laughed happily.
...
Li Ye stepped on the thick snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking through the snow from Prajna Temple to Xuantian Temple.
After more than three hours of transformation, we arrived at the small courtyard made of bluestones at the corner of the backyard of Xuantian Temple on the north slope.
The husband was holding a book, and Mu Mu and Li Hongxiu were eating melon seeds by the stove.
Seeing Li Ye pushing the door open, Mu Mu yelled, jumped up and hugged him, yelling: "Mu Mu misses you so much, brother."
"The snow on this mountain is so thick, how did you get here?" Li Hongxiu asked in surprise, looking at Li Ye whose face was flushed red by the wind and snow.
The gentleman was not surprised. He seemed to have known that Li Ye was coming today.
He smiled and said, "You must be hungry. Ask your wife to bring you some food. I just cooked some more at noon today."
"The snow on the mountain is very thick and the wind is very strong. I started from Chenshi and stepped on the snow on the mountain road, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Finally, I made it over."
Li Ye touched Mu Mu's long hair and said with a smile.
Li Hongxiu put down a handful of melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands and stood up.
He said with a smile: "You're here just in time, our family is celebrating the Chinese New Year in a lively way... Just wait, the teacher's wife will bring you food, and Mu Mu will come over to help."
Said Cong pulled Mu Mu who was leaning on Li Ye's back, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen.
The gentleman looked up at him, pointed to the kettle next to the stove and said, "Make tea."
Li Ye nodded, picked up the kettle and filled it with spring water, looked at the falling snowflakes outside the house, and asked, "Sir, is it really true that we can't find the Resurrection Grass in the five regions?"
The gentleman was startled, looked at him seriously, and asked: "What are you doing with the Soul-Reviving Grass? This is a magical medicine that can only be used for spiritual cultivation. Your spiritual consciousness has long surpassed the realm of cultivation. Besides, now that the Dantian is sealed, There is no need to be in a hurry if you are in a hurry to cultivate your spiritual consciousness.”
Li Ye thought for a while, carefully took out the manuscript Minghui gave him, and gently placed it on the table in front of his husband.
The teacher was stunned, then reached out to pick up the manuscript on the table, opened it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Seventh-level mind method? Have you completed your sixth-level practice?"
Before leaving Prajna Temple, my husband and Li Ye calculated that no matter how soon it was, we would have to wait until the beginning of spring to complete the cultivation of the sixth level of the formless dharma body. Unexpectedly, he left more than a month early.
After thinking about this, he took a closer look at Li Ye and saw some slight changes from before. He couldn't help but feel proud.
I thought that even Monk Po Xu was not as powerful as his disciple, and he actually completed the sixth level of practice in less than a year.
"This is something worth celebrating... You can have a drink that night. It just so happened that your wife and Mu Mu went to the Buddhist capital a few days ago and bought some good wine."
The husband was so happy that he suddenly woke up and realized that he had not drank alcohol for a long time since he went up the mountain.
"I had some insights a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to suddenly break through."
Li Ye replied with a smile while pouring tea leaves from the tea box.
"Buddhism is compassionate, what does Master Minghui say?" the gentleman asked.
Li Ye looked at his husband, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Minghui said that it is more difficult to reach perfection in the seventh level of cultivation than to reach heaven."
The gentleman was startled and said, "Why is that so?"
"Because there is no Resurrection Grass in the Five Realms!" Li Ye was worried and couldn't help but frown.
...
"What a big deal, let's fill our stomach first!" While Li Ye was struggling, Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu walked in with food.
"Brother, let's eat something first. Mistress said we'll make something delicious in the evening."
Mu Mu put the rice bowl she was holding on the table and sat down next to Li Ye.
"Okay, everything will be according to Master's wife." Li Yexin said that it was useless to worry, so he had to think of a solution slowly.
Li Hongxiu sat next to her husband, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and asked, "What is this? The practice technique you found for Mu Mu and me?"
When Mu Mu heard this, she stared at her husband and became nervous.
She didn't want to practice any more techniques. Just practicing the Fallen Leaf Sword made her miserable.
The teacher handed the young copy to Li Hongxiu and said calmly: "This is the mental method Ye'er practiced. Take a look. The elixir required here is probably not available in the five realms if you have money."
Li Ye didn't make a sound. He lowered his head to hold the bowl and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables in the bowl.
The gentleman lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a rumor.
Looking at Li Ye, he asked: "Since there is no such elixir in the Five Realms, there should be alternatives, right? Didn't Master Minghui mention it to you?"
Li Ye, who was minding his own food, didn't want to speak at all, but when Mr. Jean asked, he didn't say anything.
I had no choice but to put down my chopsticks and think for a while before saying, "I asked Senior Brother Minghui about this. The things he can replace are harder to find than the Soul-Reviving Grass."
"No matter how hard it is to find, it still has a name. Can you tell me what it is?" The gentleman also frowned.
"The beast soul of the distraction realm, senior brother said, this is equivalent to the cultivation level of a human being in the realm of transcending tribulation. I guess there are not many monsters like this in the five realms? Just like the old ape senior I met on Tianshan Mountain, right? Can you cultivate to this realm? , who is not hiding quietly, waiting to ascend after surviving the nine tribulations?"
Li Ye grimaced and looked at Mr. expectantly.
"A beast soul in the state of distraction? Little one, you want to go to heaven. Master, I haven't broken through to this state yet!"
Li Hongxiu was shocked, looked at Li Ye and said.
Mu Mu pulled Li Ye's sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, wait until Xiaoqing comes back and let her help you find a solution."
Li Ye gently touched her long hair and said with a smile: "Are you not in a hurry? Senior brother said that even if there is a magical medicine on the seventh level, it will take at least two years to complete the practice."
The husband picked up the kettle and started to make tea, and said calmly: "Now that we have the exercises, there will be a solution! Let's settle down first, and then we can think of a solution after the New Year."
Li Hongxiu nodded, gently closed the manuscript and returned it to her husband.
Looking at Li Ye who was lowering his head to eat, he said, "Let's all think of a solution together. Maybe the little blue bird will come back one day."
Mu Mu nodded vigorously, then hugged one of Li Ye's arms tightly.
Li Hongxiu thought for a while, looked at her husband and said, "Can you think of a way so that it won't work if you always look forward to it like this?"
The husband glanced at her and replied: "Let him practice first. This matter can't be rushed. There is still a long way to go?"
Li Ye looked at her and smiled and said: "Master, don't worry. If it doesn't work, we will go down the mountain and look for it."
Mu Mu held his hand and smiled: "Let Xiaoqing figure this out."
