For ordinary people in the world, the path to immortality is unavailable.
But in fact, in the eyes of Taoist Yanfa, what the world lacks is just a guide to the immortal path!
The old man believed that this so-called "guidance" was a technique suitable for him!
It is not difficult to cultivate your true Qi once you have been given the skills and persevered!
Of course, due to the influence of one's own qualifications, the inheritance of the master, the aura of the residence, as well as the influence of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, elixirs, talismans, etc., the path of cultivation is different in order and speed.
Some people obtain the technique, practice their true energy overnight, enter the Taoist sect, and obtain the true inheritance.
Some people acquire the technique and practice it for a long time. It takes ten years to feel Qi, and it takes thirty years to develop a ray of Qi.
But the former is a genius, rare in the world.
The latter are mediocre, and there are very few who can persevere.
More people are often unable to persist for such a long time, and thus cannot reap the rewards.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Fourth Patriarch, the Qi Refining Realm is a starting point for cultivation.
"Even though countless practitioners in the world have spent their whole lives working hard, they still stop at the realm of Qi refining..."
The Fourth Patriarch said slowly: "But in fact, this can all be attributed to one thing! It's spiritual energy!"
The differences in one's own bones, the level of the skill, the aura of the place where one lives, as well as elixirs, spiritual stones, talismans, magic weapons, formations and other things can all affect the advancement of the Qi Refining Realm. .
But in fact, the Qi Refining Realm is just a process of accumulating True Qi.
This is a process of absorbing spiritual energy and transforming it with exercises, not a level!
Only the Tao Foundation Realm is the first real hurdle that practitioners in the world face on the road to the Great Dao!
"clear!"
Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "The Qi Refining Realm is like making money! Mortals in the world make money by plowing fields, chopping firewood, setting up stalls, weaving, killing pigs, etc. to make a living!"
"Some people earn more, some people earn less. In the end, it's all just to make enough money!"
“Only when you earn enough money will you be qualified to buy an official position!”
"Butchers tend to make more money than woodcutters, so they make money faster and can save enough money faster."
"But the last step is to use this money to transform from a commoner to an official!"
"For ordinary people, getting an official position is like a sudden change and a fish leaping over the dragon's gate!"
Lu Wan sighed: "But for more ordinary people, let alone saving money, it is extremely difficult to even maintain the necessities of life! From this perspective, it is extremely difficult for ordinary practitioners to accumulate Qi Refining Realm. …”
He thought of the casual monks who were killed by Qujiang Luo clan, and whispered: "Therefore, they chose to rob and kill their disciples to make a fortune, hoping to go further!"
"Your metaphor is too cheesy, but the truth is generally correct."
Although the Fourth Patriarch thought this statement was vulgar, he also found it quite novel and had some other insights.
Then I heard the old man say with emotion: "However, this is only the first hurdle on the road to spiritual practice, and it is also the first step to enter the palace!"
In the Qi refining realm, the Tao foundation is achieved.
It's like an ordinary person, wearing white clothes, can enter the officialdom.
But this is just a petty official!
"This is not a step to the top, but a new starting point!" Lu Wan looked solemn.
"But you have advantages that all practitioners in the world do not have!" The Fourth Patriarch said in a deep voice: "As long as you are determined and determined, you will be able to rise step by step and shake the authority of the most powerful force in the world!"
"..." Lu Wan was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask: "If we compare it like this, how should we treat practitioners who are from top powers such as Chengming Tianshi Mansion and Daqian Royal Family?"
"They are born rich and noble, with clothes to stretch their hands and food to open their mouths. As soon as they reach adulthood, they can be appointed to official positions, and even be granted the title of marquis and prime minister!"
The fourth ancestor spoke in a complicated tone and said slowly: "They have the best resources in the world and the richest everything!"
"As long as they are not extremely stupid, they are destined to easily ascend to high positions and overlook all living beings."
"Their starting point is already the pinnacle of worldly practitioners' lifelong pursuit!"
"And in the not-too-distant future, you will inevitably face these proud men born in the clouds!"
Then the voice of the Fourth Ancestor became more serious: "And neither they themselves nor those behind them are willing to see more outstanding beings born in this world, thus shaking their authority today! In the future, They may be your competitors on the road..."
"Master, did you ever fight with these proud men who were born above the clouds?" Lu Wan couldn't help but ask.
"I have fought." The Fourth Patriarch said in a calm tone: "I have not won, and I have never been defeated! Therefore, I have succeeded in refining the gods and become a great practitioner in this world!"
"Oh?" Lu Wan raised his eyebrows.
"Anyone who loses, no matter how amazing a genius he is, has become the dust of time and no longer exists."
"What about the winner?"
"The victor from 1,300 years ago lost almost everything and managed to escape to the Purple Sun Realm with only half his life left."
"The first patriarch, Lord Taixuan?"
"Exactly!"
The fourth ancestor responded.
At this moment, in the sea of consciousness, there is an illusion of the mountain gate, and there are changes in the sky.
On the top of the mountain, the shadows of the thundering trees remain the same.
But the Fourth Patriarch appeared in form, came to the first dim light point, bowed and saluted, and then with his soul body, he pointed out a finger and touched the light point.
Suddenly, an old man with white beard and hair seemed to appear behind the fourth ancestor.
He slowly turned around and looked at Lu Wan, his tone solemn.
"Headmaster, are you afraid?"
"..."
Lu Wan had a strange look on his face, his eyebrows suddenly stretched, he laughed, and said proudly: "Master, just wait, let me pierce through this era with one sword and one person!"
"Young men should have great ambitions!"
There was a look of admiration on the face of the Fourth Patriarch, and he immediately turned around and prostrated on the ground: "The sixth generation Master Lu Wandaojun has the ambition to ascend to the clouds and possesses eternal destiny. The Patriarch has a spirit and has understood his heart. Please give me the true method of immortality! "
There was no response from the light spot that symbolized the first patriarch.
Just a little bit of mysterious light overflowed, spread out suddenly, and then disappeared!
This was originally a self-contained world in the headmaster's token, but now it is completely integrated into Lu Wan's sea of consciousness!
When the mysterious light penetrates into the sea of consciousness, Lu Wan seems to feel thousands of faint traces, and suddenly becomes enlightened.
This is not the text of the exercises, nor the diagrams of the formulas, but a natural realization.
It can only be understood, not expressed in words, let alone engraved in the world.
"The Eight Views of Shangyuan!"
Lu Wan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were full of shock as he looked at the Fourth Ancestor Yanfa Dao Lord.
"This is the Taoist platform casting method of the first generation of ancestors, but no one has been able to achieve it in the past generations, including me!"
The Fourth Patriarch said in a serious tone: "This is the method of forging the Immortal Taoist Platform!"
