"When I was building the foundation in Mount Wutai, I didn't think it was a big deal. Teacher Hunyuan provided me with everything. Now that I'm practicing foundation building again, I understand what a great opportunity it was to be able to worship the teacher as soon as I traveled through time."
He has been practicing Baiyang True Interpretation for several months. Wang Chong has replenished the foundation of his original body, which was due to malnutrition since childhood and lacked vitality.
His figure had grown several inches taller, and his originally dark face was now rosy, just like those from a wealthy family.
The body's vitality is replenished, but the practice of foundation building is extremely slow.
Foundation building is the process of adjusting the body and mind, eliminating acquired turbidity and evil, and adjusting the body and mind to the most suitable state for practicing the Dharma.
Now that Wang Chong is in the mortal world, everything he eats and uses has turbidity, which is far inferior to the elixir and chalcedony he used when he was in Mount Wutai.
Therefore, Wang Chong is now in a rather awkward situation. The purpose of building the foundation is to eliminate acquired turbidity and evil, make the Tao body light and agile, and finally refine the innate Tao body. However, he still cannot live without grains, and it is impossible not to drink and eat. Instead, due to refining essence The gas consumption is very large, so you have to eat more every day.
This makes foundation-building practice more effective with half the effort.
This does not mean that it is impossible to build the foundation, but this process will become very long. I am afraid that it will take several years of hard work to see the results. If we want to perfectly cultivate the innate Taoist body and lay the deepest foundation, I am afraid that this time will have to be extended. long.
Once again, it's not that Wang Chong doesn't have this patience, but it's really not necessary.
If you practice cultivation again, it will be enough to temper your Dao mind. At least before the Earth Immortal level, you don’t need to worry about the Dao mind.
Now we just lack some external medicine.
"It's better to go. Although this mortal is refining his heart, I haven't completed the foundation building yet. It's up to me to recover my mana first, so that I can at least have the ability to protect myself."
With the thought in his mind, Wang Chong couldn't wait any longer. In the next few days, Wang Chong first ordered several Taoist robes at a clothing store in the city, and then compiled a revised volume of his medical insights over the past six months and presented it to Chen Ziming. After paying for staying overnight, he said goodbye to the shopkeeper Zeng Que and prepared to leave to find a place where immortal cultivators gathered to get some foreign medicine so that he could complete the hundred-day foundation building as soon as possible.
Zeng Que was naturally very reluctant to give up. In the past, his Huimin Hall only had a half-baked doctor like Chen Ziming, so he could only take the low-end route. Since Wang Chong arrived, he got the title of a miracle doctor in just half a month, and there have been many others since then. The wealthy landlords in the city came to visit, which greatly made Huimin Tang famous. Zeng Que could wake up laughing in the middle of the night because of the money he made.
Now that Wang Chong, the miracle doctor, is about to leave, it's damning if he can bear it.
He tried every means to persuade him to stay, but Wang Chong had already made up his mind. There was no room for his nagging. After informing him, he distributed all the medical fees earned in the past six months to the poor people in the city, except for keeping a small part as a spare. .
He also specially asked someone to send dozens of dollars to the Liu family where he originally lived, as if he knew the cause and effect of cattle.
Afterwards, he put on his Taoist robes, rode on a green bull, and left this small county town.
This world has not been open for too long, maybe less than a million years. Therefore, the rules of heaven are incomplete, and immortals and mortals are mixed together. Immortal cultivators do not deliberately avoid the ordinary world, but are deeply involved in the ordinary world. I heard that those In every big city, there are immortal cultivators stationed there.
It is really not difficult to get information about these immortal cultivators. Those wealthy families are basically involved in some way with the immortal cultivators.
For example, the wealthy households in the small county where Wang Chong was practicing basically knew some information about immortal cultivators. Wang Chong got a lot of useful information after deliberately asking around.
This place is Posuo Prefecture, one of the nine prefectures. It is located in southern Xinjiang and is controlled by several Jindan sects. The southeastern part of Chen State where this county is located is controlled by a sect called Hehuan Sect. Every ten years , immortal cultivators from the Hehuan Sect will come to the county town to use magic weapons to test whether the children in the city have spiritual roots.
Many people's ancestors also had immortal cultivators.
Wang Chong rode an ox all the way south. Gradually, the number of people began to dwindle, and the number of immortal cultivators flying around with magic weapons gradually increased.
Flying in the Shushan world mostly involves cultivating the Escape Light, wrapping the physical body with Escape Light and flying. From the outside, it basically looks like a long rainbow with a head and a tail. The same goes for flying with a sword, wrapping the body with sword light and cutting through the atmosphere of Tiangang. Fly away.
But the so-called immortal cultivators that Wang Chong saw flying on the way were actually magnifying the magic weapon, with people lying on the magic weapon and flying. Not only did they fly low, but the speed was still slow. Those who used the flying sword magic weapon directly stepped on it. On the sword, Ming Mingfei was swaying, but he still wanted to maintain his grace, deliberately standing with his hands behind his back, pretending to be cool.
Wang Chong shook his head when he saw it, but he immediately became alarmed secretly.
"Don't raise your eyes too high. Maybe these people's cultivation level is too low, that's why they are like this. Those who build the Zifu and Jindan may not be like this."
I asked people along the way and followed the immortal cultivators who flew by in the sky from time to time. After traveling for more than half a month, I finally arrived at a place where the immortal cultivators gathered, Kunshan Fangshi.
This city belongs to the Hehuan Sect. In addition to loose cultivators from various places, there are also relatives of some Hehuan Sect disciples living in it. Wang Chong, a mortal boy, rode in on a bull, which is not too eye-catching.
Kunshan Fang City occupies a large area, located in a valley between two mountains. It is about three or four miles wide and more than ten miles long. There is a small river flowing out of the mountains in the middle. The environment is very good.
The people living outside Fang City are some low-level casual cultivators and some relatives of immortal cultivators. They are not much different from ordinary small towns in the world.
Going further inside is the real market. There are hundreds of two- and three-story wooden buildings inside. More than ten of them are very beautifully decorated. These are shops opened by the Hehuan Sect and other major sects. , there are those who buy elixirs and elixirs, those who refine magic weapons, and those who purchase various spiritual materials. Anyway, there are basically only those related to practice.
"Eh... Such a pure essence of grains."
In addition to the shops opened by these big sects, there are also many casual cultivators in the market who are also doing business. Those who are wealthy rent a shop, while the poorer ones hang out on both sides of the street and put out a long piece of cloth and put out what they want. Things to sell.
Compared with ordinary people, they just don't shout and appear quieter and more orderly.
In the Shushan world, where could one see such a scene of cultivators doing business? Wang Chong was very surprised. While wandering around, he saw a black-robed monk selling spiritual grain.
Although Taoism in the Shushan world can be learned by everyone, it attaches great importance to fate. As long as Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan sincerely follows Taoism, the people he accepts as his disciples are extremely alien. There are quite a few legendary Lingbao Tianzun who have teachings but not Class style.
The world of Shushan practices the method of heavy fate, and the cause and effect of heaven is complete. As long as you practice, calamities will always accompany you, let alone the forty-nine calamities that occur once in five hundred years, and the ninety-five great calamities that occur once in a thousand years. Every calamity must be allowed to practice. It won't be over until seven or eight people die.
Therefore, despite the complete system of Taoism and Dharma in the Shushan world, there are many people who have ascended, but there are really not many practitioners.
Because Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan adheres to the idea of teaching without distinction, the Wutai Sect already has many disciples and is known as the largest sect in the side sect. However, there are only a few hundred disciples, including those who have just started.
For example, the Emei sect is called the authentic Xuanmen sect, but together with its disciples and elders, it can only number over a hundred.
Just like this world, in just one city, Wang Chong saw more than a thousand immortal cultivators along the way.
Therefore, although the world of Shushan has opened up countless Yuanhui and gone through countless tribulations, the materials for cultivating Taoism are really not scarce.
No one has studied how to cultivate ordinary grains into spiritual grains.
Picking up a grain of spiritual grain, Wang Chong carefully felt the essence of the five grains contained in it, and couldn't help but admire in his heart:
"Sure enough, don't look too high. This world also has its own unique features. I would never have thought of such a way to cultivate spiritual valleys."
