…
In the distant ancient times, people who cultivated immortality regarded the foundation-building period as the starting point for cultivating Taoism.
It is believed that monks have only taken the first step when they enter the foundation building stage, and monks in the Qi training stage can only be regarded as babbling and toddling children.
As for why you say that?
Then we have to mention the difference between the foundation building period and the Qi training period.
There is a huge difference between the foundation building period and the Qi training period, both in terms of strength and lifespan.
Monks in the Qi training stage are the same as ordinary people, and their theoretical maximum lifespan is only one hundred and thirty years.
Even monks in the Qi-training stage are in the eyes of mortals capable of ascending to heaven and earth, and capable of conquering rivers and seas, but their life span is actually the same as that of mortals.
But a mere hundred and thirty years will turn into a cup of loess, which makes people speechless.
Especially in the ancient times, the world of cultivators was full of spiritual energy, and a monk could easily find a spiritual land comparable to the current second-level spiritual veins if he searched for it.
Under such circumstances, the foundation cannot be established, so in their eyes, the Qi training period is no different from ordinary people, they are just ordinary people who can learn "martial arts".
Of course, in addition to the biggest difference in lifespan, the difference between monks in the foundation building stage and monks in the Qi training stage also lies in several other aspects.
That is: changes in mana, physical body, and spiritual consciousness.
These points are exactly what Wang Lixing wants to explain to Wang Mingxuan.
…
After hearing the ancestor's words, Wang Mingxuan subconsciously sat upright and looked at Wang Lixing solemnly.
He had just succeeded in building a foundation, and he was very unfamiliar with the entire realm of foundation building. Now his ancestor was explaining to him that this kind of opportunity was rare for other casual cultivators.
Realizing that Wang Mingxuan was sitting upright, Wang Lixing nodded imperceptibly.
In his heart, he approves of Wang Mingxuan's attitude. He was a little worried before that Wang Mingxuan would become arrogant after he succeeded in building the foundation.
This is also the state that many monks have when they first enter the foundation building stage.
Suddenly grasping a different strength than Lianqi Qitian, his heart suddenly swelled up and he became arrogant, not knowing how high the world was.
If one cannot clearly understand oneself in time, the fate of such a monk is often self-evident, and there is no other way out than being beaten by reality.
"You have just established the foundation. The first and most important thing is to adapt as soon as possible and master the magic power of the foundation period. This is the most important." Wang Lixing thought for a while, and then spoke.
"Compared with the total amount of mana in the Dantian during the foundation-building stage compared with the Qi-training stage, the second biggest difference is that the nature of the mana has changed."
"For example, if the mana in the Qi training stage is a thick iron sword, then the mana in the foundation building stage is a fine iron sword."
Having said this, Wang Lixing paused, looked at Wang Mingxuan's focused expression, and then continued:
"Obviously, even if the monks in the foundation-building stage use as much mana as the monks in the qi-training stage, when the two collide, the foundation-building monk will definitely defeat the qi-training stage monks."
"In the same way, the essence of Jindan Zhenren's magic power is the same as the foundation building stage and the Qi training stage. The two are not the same, and the gap is even greater."
"This point is clearly stated in the handwritten notes passed down by Patriarch Qingyun. Therefore, when you meet a Golden Core monk, you must not have any conflict with him, otherwise you will end up with... you can think of it."
Hearing this, Wang Mingxuan understood what Wang Lixing meant, and nodded solemnly to show that he understood that he was not an old longevity star who hanged himself because he thought he had a long life, so he had nothing to do to provoke Master Jindan.
"As for the Nascent Soul Realm and the Golden Core Realm, there is a conjecture in the ancestor's handwriting on this point. The two may not be as different as the Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"It is mentioned in the handbook that the Nascent Soul realm may involve the preliminary communication of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Wang Lixing couldn't help but have a look of yearning on his face as he said this.
"It's a pity that Patriarch Qingyun failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the end. The details are unclear in the handbook."
Speaking of this, Wang Lixing sighed secretly, his ancestor's last wish...
After calming down, Wang Lixing continued:
"You just need to understand these. Next, I will tell you in detail about the use of foundation-building realm mana."
"Using mana during the foundation building period..."
In this way, time passed slowly as Wang Lixing continued to explain.
Wang Mingxuan on the side listened silently most of the time. Only when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask, and Wang Lixing also answered casually.
The day passed in an instant while the two of them were questioning each other.
…
"Huh," Wang Lixing breathed out gently to relieve the fatigue in his mouth.
After several days of non-stop preaching, there was no mental problem, but for him, it had been a long time since he had said so many words at once, and he felt a little dry at the moment.
He casually touched the tea cup on the stone table, and in a moment, a steaming cup of spiritual tea appeared on the table. After taking a few sips, he said:
"I have already told you some issues and issues that need attention during the foundation building period. You will need to understand and practice on your own later."
"The second floor of the clan's library also contains the cultivation experience of the family's ancestors regarding the foundation-building period. You can also look through it yourself later."
After saying that, he picked up the spiritual tea on the table and sipped it gently.
Seeing his ancestor's actions, Wang Mingxuan knew it was time to leave, so he stood up, bowed solemnly and said:
"Mingxuan thanks you for your teachings, ancestor. After your explanation, my grandson has learned a lot. If I have disturbed you for so long, it is time for my grandson to leave."
After Wang Mingxuan finished speaking, he bowed deeply again with an affectionate expression on his face.
Wang Lixing's words made him gain a lot whether in family affairs or foundation building.
After all, Wang Lixing has been a clan leader and foundation builder for more than a hundred years, and his explanations are by no means comparable to those of ordinary foundation-builder monks.
Wang Lixing accepted Wang Mingxuan's salute calmly and nodded calmly.
"Now that you have broken through the foundation building stage, the spiritual energy in ordinary places in the clan can no longer meet your daily cultivation needs. After that, you can go find Lequan and let him arrange a cave for you on Qingyun Peak."
"yes!"
"Also, I will give you three days to consolidate your realm. After three days, I will hold a clan meeting, and you will also need to attend."
"Understood," Wang Mingxuan nodded.
"Go," Wang Lixing waved his hand, indicating that Wang Mingxuan could leave.
After Wang Mingxuan left, Wang Lixing played with the tea cup in his hand, and soon stood up and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance.
Under his calm face, he didn't know what he was thinking about.
This stop lasted for three days, until the eve of the clan meeting.
