Chapter 9

In the room, Xu Muyang continued to tell Tang Jie about the world of cultivating immortals.

"Cultivation is divided into five realms, and each realm is divided into three stages. Only the Immortal Terrace Realm has only two stages, so it is called five realms and fourteen stages. Among them, the Lingtai Realm is divided into three realms: Lingquan, Linghu, and Linghai. It mainly refers to the spiritual energy in the body. The amount of accumulation. Immortal cultivators cultivate spiritual energy, so this first level is mainly about the absorption and use of spiritual energy. The spiritual platform is to improve physical fitness and increase the amount of spiritual energy by breathing out spiritual energy, so the spiritual platform is often also called It’s called the breathing period or the Qi training period.”

"The immortal cultivators at this time still belong to mortals physically, and have not yet reached the stage of real rebirth. They can learn spells, but they can only use them by consuming the aura in their bodies, and their power is limited. Therefore, immortal cultivators at this stage are generally called As spiritual disciples, the spells they use are generally only called spells and not spells. Only after entering the Transcendence Realm, can they use the spiritual energy in the body to attract the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, and then they can use real spells, which are called spells. This period is also the stage when the cultivator truly reborn from the mortal body and enters the spiritual body, so it is called the realm of escape from the mortal body. Because building the spiritual body and getting rid of the mortal body is the basis for cultivating immortals, it is often called the foundation building period or the spiritual body period. do you understand?"

"Brother Xu's words are simple and clear, and I have already understood. Simply put, the realm is the improvement of quality, and the level is the improvement of quantity, right?" Tang Jie replied.

Xu Muyang smiled and nodded: "This statement is fresh and interesting, and there is some truth to it. Although it is not perfect, it is not far away."

Although the realm is the same, the effects brought about by different cultivation methods are different.

According to Xu Muyang, the human body has many components such as meridians, qi and blood, muscles and bones, and five internal organs. Each component has its own unique use and significance. Different cultivation methods and processes will bring different changes to the practitioner, making Their directors are also different. Even the simplest basic spells such as wind knife, frost sword, fireball, and electric chain have different performances and powers in the hands of practitioners with different cultivation methods.

Those with rich experience can often roughly judge the direction and background of the other party's major just by looking at their hands.

Furthermore, not all exercises are compatible, the key is whether there are conflicts between them. For example, the Sutra of the Fire of the Day, majoring in the Sutra of Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao, its qi disperses in the heart collaterals and returns to the liver and gallbladder. . However, Ningshui Jingjing mainly focuses on the kidney meridian of foot shaoyin, which starts from the spleen and returns to the kidney. The spleen belongs to earth and governs transportation and transformation.

But the two are not affiliated with each other and are independent of each other.

This is only independent of each other, and there are even more contradictory ones. If they don't understand the reason and practice together, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, the cultivation of gongfa is not the more the better, but to return to its origin and complement each other for the better.

"This is another reason why I don't want to teach you the inheritance of the Xu family." Xu Muyang said: "The Xu family's Dongxu Jing, majoring in the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, the vein of the heavy eye, to break the void and create illusions. The master, the Xiyue Sect majors in the Heart Sutra of Hand Shaoyin, the center of gravity, the two sides do not belong to each other, but the heart is the master of the five internal organs, and the official of the king. From the basic point of view, it is better to use the purple jade heart method of the Xiyue Sect first. , the Shenxiao Sword Code is better."

"That is to say, if you have practiced the Purple Jade Mind Method of the Xiyue Sect and the Shenxiao Sword Code, you may not be able to practice the Dongxu Sutra of the Xu family. However, you may not be able to practice the Ziyu Mind Method well after you have practiced the Dongxu Sutra. This is what it means Is it?" Tang Jie asked.

"Yes, that's what it means. The Moon Washing Sect is a great sect with a vast mind and strong tolerance. Based on this, it will be no problem to learn anything in the future, and the future is boundless."

"Understood, this is like a lake containing the sea, which can contain hundreds of rivers, and a lake containing the sea, and the ocean is raging."

"Yes, that's what happened." Xu Muyang smiled.

Tang Jie, a boy with a delicate mind, can see through everything at once. He is also very happy with such a student. Although he did not accept Tang Jie as a disciple, he actually treated him as a disciple.

"In that case, wouldn't it be useless for me to practice this Tibetan Elephant Sutra?" Tang Jie asked again.

"The Tibetan Elephant Sutra is just a method for flushing the door, and it also has the ability to wash the meridians. It does not major in any one meridian, so there will be no problems in cultivation. And no matter what the Tibetan Elephant Sutra is, it is also a method created by the Lord of Soldiers. I always I don’t think it’s that simple, if you practice hard, you may gain something else in the future. My tendons are already solid, so this pulse washing is of no use to me.” Speaking of this, Xu Muyang shook his head and sighed.

The so-called Ximai is actually the tempering and expansion of the meridians.

After the Yumen is opened, qi flows through the meridians, and different ways of moving qi are different exercises, and washing the meridians is actually to expand the meridians, so that more spiritual energy can pass through, which also means that the meridians can bear more.

If the human body is compared to a country, then the meridians are the roads, and each acupuncture point is the station. The more open the road, the more developed the traffic will be, the more aura that can be transported, and the stronger the power.

There is an old saying in China that if you want to get rich, build roads first.

There is also an old saying in the world of cultivating immortals, that is, if you want to cultivate immortals, you must first wash your pulse.

In addition to washing the veins, beginners also need to open spiritual eyes, which is the place where spiritual energy is stored. Only by opening spiritual eyes can the absorbed spiritual energy be stored and expanded to form the basic energy that can be used for magic.

However, different cultivation methods have different ways of opening spiritual eyes, and even their positions will be different. Because of this, Xu Muyang did not teach Tang Jie how to open spiritual eyes—he will join the Xiyue Sect in the future , there are better exercises than the Xu family to learn.

So pulse washing is to lay the foundation, but if Tang Jie doesn't open his spiritual eyes for a day, Tang Jie can't be regarded as a formal apprentice of cultivating immortals.

"In other words, I have to wait until I enter Xiyue College before I can start formal training?"

"What? Are you in a hurry?" Xu Muyang asked with a smile.

Tang Jie blushed, but did not argue: "It's just a momentary urge."

"I can understand your feelings." Xu Muyang said with a smile: "However, cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. Only when the foundation is well established, can cultivation be more effective. In fact, for a child of your age, whose muscles and bones have not yet matured, pulse washing is the most suitable It's a pity that due to the young mind, many people can't bear the longing for magical powers, so there are always some people who want to be refreshing... How many talented people have passed the difficult and painful test because of this reason, But he was defeated by this simple pulse washing, which resulted in limited results later.”

He said this with earnestness and earnestness, Tang Jie felt awe in his heart, knowing that this was Xu Muyang's advice to him.

At this moment, he said solemnly: "I understand. No matter where we are, no matter what we do, patience is the key to our success."

"Well said!" Xu Muyang clapped his hands: "You don't have to worry. The expansion of the meridians has its own limit, and the meridian washing can usually be completed in a year or so, and then you can formally practice. By then , I will introduce you to the sect of the Xiyue sect, based on my face as a great formation master, there should be no problem."

He doesn't talk about the face of his own Daoist Tianxin, but only the face of the Great Formation Master, which shows how strong his confidence in his own way of formation is.

From this day on, Tang Jie began to practice the Tibetan Elephant Sutra every day, purifying the meridians.

Although he is young, his soul is the soul of an adult. He has passed the stage of teenagers who have lost their temper and don't know how to control themselves. Therefore, after rushing once, they will never repeat mistakes. Xu Muyang is also surprised by his stability.

"It's obviously deceitful, but it's young and mature, it's really hard to see through." As for Tang Jie, Xu Muyang also had to admit that maybe he wasn't the best in terms of cultivation aptitude, but in terms of dealing with people, he was. I really can't see the other party as a child.

Despite being busy with cultivation, Tang Jie did not neglect to take care of Xu Muyang. I still clean the yard seriously every day, and go out to work during the day to earn some money for the family.

Xu Muyang still spends most of his time in the mansion recuperating from his injuries. No matter how time goes by, his injuries are getting better and better, and he can come out and walk around at any time. Occasionally, when he gets excited, he will punch a set to exercise and get tired bones.

Today he had nothing to do, wandering in the yard to enjoy the scenery, suddenly found that the arrangement of rockery, pavilions, stone tables and surrounding flowers and plants in this small courtyard unintentionally fit some principles of heaven and earth. , maybe it can be arranged into a formation, and it will be studied immediately.

He is naturally fond of formations, and in order to study formations, he doesn't even have to be the head of the Xu family.

Some time ago, he devoted himself to recuperating from his injuries and had no time to study, but now that his injuries are recovering, he naturally has the mind to do what he loves to do.

At this moment, under his envoy, arrays of formations flew out from under his feet, connected to the rockery, pavilions and other objects in the courtyard, shining brilliantly, and in just a moment, a small formation was formed.

Then Xu Muyang pointed at the small formation: "Hidden!"

I saw that the flickering pattern had gradually dimmed and disappeared without a trace. If no one reminded, no one would know that there was an extra formation in this courtyard.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Looking at the new work he just finished, Xu Muyang nodded in great satisfaction. This formation was just arranged by him casually, but in the process of setting it up, he felt that many good ideas suddenly appeared in his heart. When the inspiration burst out, without hesitation, he hurried back to the room and wrote down his experience and feelings when setting up the formation just now. special book

After writing everything, Xu Muyang's emotions had been vented to the fullest, and he felt that there was nothing missing, so he looked up at the sky and found that it was already night.

The Dongxu meridian of his Xu family regards the night as day, so he didn't notice the coming of the night.

"Strange, why hasn't that kid delivered the food yet?" Xu Muyang whispered in surprise.

Normally at this time, Tang Jie should have come back, and he should have prepared dinner and delivered it over.

Suddenly realizing something, Xu Muyang slapped his head: "Oops!"

He rushed out of the room and saw Tang Jie was circling around in the courtyard, his eyes were in a daze, obviously he couldn't figure out the direction, and he kept shouting from time to time: "Brother Xu!"

It's just that the voice couldn't be heard outside the formation, so Xu Muyang didn't hear it at first.

Judging by his appearance, he has been trapped inside for a long time.

"Huh! Luckily, it's just a phantom formation." Xu Muyang also broke out in a cold sweat.

If it was a killing formation then, Tang Jie would be a dead man now.
