Just as Lao Cai expected, Hou Zi didn't want to spend a penny here.
What he needs is such an environment and such a mood to allow him to spend this journey in a relaxed manner.
Although the Kun cultivators were not ready to cheer loudly, the speed of movement of their feet still exposed their true thoughts;
The sea is a treasure. In addition to the Didi Cui here, there are also luminous pearls from Mingzhu Island, sea snails from Niujiao Island, and rouge bamboo from Bamboo Island... They had already been to Mingzhu Island, and Tsuta had not joined them at that time.
For these women, one of the most difficult issues is how to maintain a good financial balance and not end up penniless at the end of the day.
The female cultivators were looking for their own happiness, and the remaining male cultivators also walked in slowly. One look at their unhurried pace could tell their true mentality.
If you can't find it, buy it.
The only one who didn't move was Hou Zi. It wasn't that he didn't have any spiritual stones or beads, but it was because he had no interest in these shiny things and it seemed that he didn't have anyone to give them to.
The Taoist monk is dedicated to spiritual practice and does not care about these more decorative things. If he cannot do what he likes, it is better not to give them away.
Bai Qingqian may be one of them? But he is the owner of a business and manages these things himself. How can he give them away?
As for himself, maybe he can choose a piece to make a coffin? It's not urgent yet.
There were only two people who did not join the Taobao crowd. Lao Cai was used to it, and Hou Zi was enjoying relaxing. They started chatting at a pavilion outside the mine, but their chat never included the identity of the guests. This is the rule.
.
"This industry is good, with guaranteed harvests despite droughts and floods, and it's also considered safe..." Hou Zi sighed,
Lao Cai shook his head. He was not surprised at all that the sword cultivator did not participate in the stone gambling. He was surprised if he did.
"My Taoist friends don't know that guiding is not as easy as it seems to outsiders. There is no easy job in this world.
Others may seem comfortable, but I only want to say two things, Taoist friends may not be able to do it."
Hou Zi became interested and said, "Oh, Fellow Daoist Cai, why don't you tell me and let me see if I have the potential to do this?"
Lao Cai chuckled, "First of all, you will no longer have your own time. As long as travelers have requests, you must respond. This is the basic requirement for guide practitioners.
Cultivation has been put in a secondary position. No matter whether you need retreat at that time, whether you have new insights, or even have morning, noon and evening classes, you must always pay attention to the surrounding situation to prevent accidents from happening.
Time no longer belongs to you, but to your members, can you do it?"
Hou Zi shook his head in embarrassment, as if he couldn't do it?
Lao Cai smiled proudly, "Secondly, you can't have a temper. If someone slaps you on the left cheek, your only response is to stretch the right cheek.
Because you can't have enemies, otherwise your leader will have endless troubles. Pirates will harass you when you are on your way, and merchants will not welcome you when you land. So, can you still continue to work?"
Hou Zi thought for a while and continued to shake his head.
Lao Cai sighed, "So, if you work in this profession, you will not only lose your future, but you will also lose yourself; no monk who is even slightly ambitious about his future will choose it.
I know almost all the guides in Lizhihai. We all have several common characteristics. We are old and have a bleak future. What we are pursuing is not our own future, but the future of our family’s descendants.
If fellow Taoist you understand this, will you still envy me?"
Hou Zi was a little regretful, "You have already passed the level of Tongxuan. In the eyes of most monks, you are already among the very few who have succeeded. You dare not talk about the golden elixir, but there is still hope for the latter two of the three realms of Tongtian.
, I just feel it’s a pity.”
Lao Cai is more tolerant, "Every level is about survival of the fittest, whether you succeed or fail, you have to accept it; just like when I was in Tongxuan, I was the successful person who attracted attention and enjoyed the envious eyes of the losers. Now, all this is
It's my turn.
There will always be this day, sooner or later, it's just time.
Having several decades of extra life is already better than most people, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
Anyway, I have nothing to do. Now that I have started talking, Lao Cai can’t stop.
"The three realms of Tongtian are actually the same realm. There is no essential difference, at least in terms of cultivation.
The second level of feeling the spirit tests whether the monk can open the Dantian on the sea of consciousness, so that he has the possibility of controlling the inner secrets of the body with his spiritual will. This allows the monk to enter the real micro-control realm of his own magic power and release the spirit of the golden elixir queen.
lay the foundation.
It's a pity that my upper Dantian cannot be opened, and my spirit cannot condense my will..."
Hou Zi kindly reminded, "But feeling the spirit is also a rare state in the process of cultivation that does not focus on age and physical decline. There are also many examples in the world of cultivation that have succeeded in feeling the spirit as they age. But the premise is that you cannot lose it.
confidence."
Lao Cai smiled calmly, "You are talking about those successful examples, right? Why don't you mention more failed examples? Once the sense of spirituality fails, at least it will be stupid and stupid, at worst, the mana will flow out of control..."
Hou Zi smiled slightly, stopped talking, and stopped trying to persuade her.
The front is hazy. Some people see eternal light, while others see an abyss. There is no way to persuade them.
He also began to face the pressure of the spiritual realm, which he gradually reflected in his practice.
According to the practice structure of the Splendid Continent, it makes sense to collectively refer to the three realms of Tongxuan, Senshen, and Nature as the three realms of Tongtian. As Lao Cai said, there is no essential difference in mana cultivation, and there is no high realm to suppress the low.
The situation of the realm is completely determined by the particularity of the spiritual and natural realm.
Sensing the state of mind is an improvement in the realm of spiritual will, and has nothing to do with tangible things such as cultivation, age, strength, etc.; there is no special training method, because the spirit is uncontrollable.
It is also the most dangerous small threshold on the path of spiritual practice, because any change involving the spirit will not be a small change. It may awaken the sea of consciousness, or it may turn one's own sea of consciousness into a mess.
The natural realm refers to the reflection and communication between the small world of Zifu inside the monk's body and the natural world outside the body. To put it bluntly, it is the ability of human beings to influence the nature of heaven and earth.
These two realms are the beginning of laying the foundation. The realm of Sensing God lays the foundation of spiritual power, while the realm of nature lays the foundation of mobilizing the natural power of heaven and earth. Only after the monks successfully form the elixir can the true power be manifested.
Therefore, Jindan monks are the beings who can truly be called immortals. They can materialize the spirit and mobilize the natural forces of heaven and earth. Their abilities are not on the same level as those of the Three Realms of Tongtian.
This is why it is very difficult for him to practice the way of thunder now. If he cannot mobilize the natural power of heaven and earth, and cannot form thunder clouds to accumulate, how can he use thunder?
Fortunately, the elemental magnetism gave him a boost from another direction.
