After a morning of study, it was lunch time. Several agency officials with dull faces and stiff movements came in and served everyone meals.
As Zhang Long said before, everyone's food during this period is "fasting" - not only is there no meat in the bowl, there is not even a trace of oil. What is eaten is boiled Polygonatum odorifera, and what is drunk is Shouwu Poria.
Porridge and bitter gourd mixed with green salt as a side dish. These meals are probably good for health, but the taste is really disappointing. Most of the immortal seekers, including Wu Jie, looked sad after eating.
Of course, there are also those who don't care at all. For example, a fat man named Zhu Sanqi has small eyes, a small nose, and a chubby face full of obscene aura. He looks like the kind of rich boy who has been pampered since he was a child, but he can eat
With a smile on his face, he also ate the unfinished portions of several immortal seekers who couldn't eat.
"It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!" Wu Jie couldn't help but secretly sigh, "Those who can pass the first round of selection are indeed capable people!"
Starting from the afternoon, it was time for free activities. Wu Jie did not go out, but returned to his room to rest - he was anxious to ask Jasmine about something.
In order to prevent the immortals from seeing the clues, he specially warned Jasmine not to contact him. But after one morning, he found that the immortals actually didn't pay much attention to his immortal seekers, so he no longer had such scruples.
Although I dare not enter the world of the Book of Heaven for the time being to avoid trouble, it should be no problem at least chatting in my mind.
"Jasmine, have you seen clearly what happened yesterday and today?"
"Of course! But it's a bit strange..."
"What's weird?"
"There are quite a lot of strange things. For example, many people seem to care about 'merit'. According to your previous explanation, this merit is accumulated by doing good deeds, but back then we... Anyway, I don't remember anyone under our sect.
Who has done anything good? But we still conquer all realms and come to the sea of stars, and we don’t find any problems."
"In the end, he was full of evil and was struck to death by lightning!"
"That's true, but I always feel it's a little different. Look at these people, their cultivation is so low that they already attach so much importance to merit. But back then, you were destroyed because your cultivation was so advanced that they couldn't even imagine it in their dreams.
The God of the World is thundering..."
"Let's think about this slowly later. Anyway, accumulating a little more merit won't be a bad thing."
"Master, since you said so, let's ignore this matter for now. Another thing that makes me feel strange is this so-called 'Tai Shang Tian Zhen Theory'. According to them, this should be the kind of theory that directly points to the road to immortality.
It's a wonderful method, but after thinking about it, I can't remember that there is such a person as the 'Tai Shang Dao Ancestor', let alone the 'Tai Shang Zhen Lun'!"
"Huh? Isn't the Taishang Tian theory famous?"
"Anyway, I haven't heard of it... and the title 'Tao Ancestor' is also very problematic... In our time, it seems that no one was called Tao Ancestor." Jasmine pondered for a long time and said doubtfully, "In our time,
The leaders of great supernatural powers are the two ancestors, the Desolate God who created the Great Desolate World and the Xu Ancestor who created the Gui Xu Sea. However, they did not leave any descendants. Besides these two ancestors, you are the leader, Master.
There are several gods of creation, and I remember that one of them, Lord Zhengyi, is very powerful. Master, you once warned us that except for a few senior brothers, the rest of us should not mess with that guy..."
Wu Jie was surprised. He never knew that in the era of Shenjun, there were strong men of the same level as Shenjun!
"Same level? How is that possible! Master, you are a great god-lord who has half-stepped into the realm of the two ancestors. Other so-called god-lords, including several senior brothers, are not your opponent at all!"
Then Jasmine began to habitually sing praises to the Supreme God, showing off his virtues and majesty, praising and praising him endlessly, which made people feel like goosebumps fell from their bodies.
Wu Jie hurriedly stopped her nonsense and asked about "the Tao cannot be expressed".
"There is no such explanation!" Jasmine said with certainty, "I have seen at least five or six secret books recording Taoism, and they are all clearly written in black and white. The so-called 'Tao cannot be expressed' must have come later... maybe
This is what Taishang Daozu did!"
"Master, your reincarnation really took too long. As a result, little people who jumped out of nowhere dared to call themselves 'Tao Ancestors'... I don't know how those gods agreed... The two ancestors came back again."
How can you tolerate others being placed side by side with you... Alas! The world has changed!"
As she spoke, Jasmine's voice became deeper and deeper, and she began to sigh.
Wu Jie had not experienced Jasmine's original life, so he could not personally experience Jasmine's melancholy and sadness. However, he could feel Jasmine's low mood, so he did not disturb her, but went to Luo Yu for advice.
As he got closer and closer to the world of cultivating immortals, he felt more and more urgently that he lacked the common sense of that world. Jasmine's knowledge was based on old almanacs from who knows how many years ago, and much of it was no longer relevant to the current world.
Moreover, her background is too high-end and lacks reference for Wu Jie, who has not yet reached the innate realm.
He wanted to know some practical knowledge, some common sense that ordinary contemporary immortal cultivators should know, and this knowledge could only be obtained from Luo Yu at present.
"Oh? Brother Dao wants to ask some common sense about the world of immortality?" Luo Yu was not surprised. She had just discovered that Wu Jie seemed to know nothing about many common senses in the world of immortality. He was a complete layman.
In this case, it is only natural to inquire about the news now.
"So, what do you want to ask, Brother Dao?"
Wu Jie already had an idea of this and said simply: "I basically don't know anything. What do you think is more important and should be known to everyone...just tell me."
Luo Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and then began to tell.
"To talk about cultivating immortality, naturally we should first talk about 'how to cultivate immortality'. There are no more than three ways for mortals to approach the path of immortality: the first is to exercise the body and constantly tap one's own potential, so that the strength becomes stronger and the reaction becomes stronger
Faster, your endurance is getting better and better... until you finally break through the limits of the mortal body, this is the so-called 'martial monk'."
"The second way is to concentrate on cultivating the breath. After one breath, the inner breath will last continuously, the body will be strong, and the life will be long. When the breath practice reaches a certain level, it can sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and then penetrate the inside and outside, turn the inner breath into true energy, and step on the road.
Entering the innate realm. This is called a 'qi refiner'."
"The third way is to worship the gods and ancestors and get feedback from those powerful things. The soul will become stronger and stronger, and finally surpass the limits of mortal things and become extraordinary with the soul. This kind of thing is very rare, and to be honest, I am not big on it.
clear."
"Take you, Brother Dao, as an example. Your martial arts are extremely advanced, your body is very strong, and your internal strength is also very deep. You are probably a martial arts cultivator mainly, and a Qi refiner as a supplement. This is what ordinary warriors do, and in the end
The goal of 'entering the Tao through martial arts' is to combine the first two paths to enter the realm of innate Tao."
Wu Jie nodded slightly, he now finally understood his own strength and path.
"But no matter which path you take, after reaching the innate realm, you have to go back and make up for the other two parts. In the end, you must cultivate your body, true energy, and soul to perfection before you can truly complete the entrance to the immortal way - because of this,
We just call the first state of cultivating immortality 'Entering the Tao'."
"There are three parts to entering the Tao. Completely transforming one's own inner energy into true energy, which is called 'Xiantian'; using true energy to temper the body, allowing the body to go one step further on the basis of the acquired peak, and at the same time, the acquired stage will be reduced due to excessive overdraft potential.
The empty Qi and blood are replenished and restored, which is called 'Hundred Refinements'; the soul is gradually strengthened during meditation, and finally the soul is formed and can connect to the netherworld, which is called 'Tongyou'."
"Because these three realms are the content that must be completed to 'enter the Tao', they are called the 'three realms of entering the Tao'. Only by completing the three realms of entering the Tao can one truly be called an immortal cultivator rather than a dabbler."
Wu Jie nodded repeatedly. It was only today that he had a clear impression of cultivating immortals.
"After completing the cultivation of Taoism, the next step is to 'refining Gang'. Transforming the true energy into Gang Qi - each sect has its own secret method for this, or in other words, it must have a corresponding method before it can be called a disciple.
After the transformation of Gang Qi is completed, it can be used to refine oneself and refine the mortal body into a leak-free body."
"There are many benefits to having a flawless body. The most obvious one is that you can stay young and strong until your lifespan is exhausted. This is also the dream goal of many female monks, including me."
Luo Yu's words were humorous, and Wu Jie couldn't help but smile.
"Refining Gang monks can fly in and out of Qingming, and their various magical powers are indescribable. Then if they can fully accumulate the power of the soul and temper the true energy with the magical and indescribable power of the soul, they can temper the true energy into true essence.
, obtain a qualitative leap - this state is called 'Condensing Yuan'."
"After condensing the essence, ordinary cultivation has come to an end. Only some lucky people who have great opportunities and great luck, or sects with great inheritance, have ways to go further. I don't know how to do it specifically, I only know
The next step is called 'returning elixir'."
"The realm of returning the elixir is said to be a very complicated one, and it is said that the elixir is returned more than once and needs to be repeated. Each time the elixir is returned, it is called one turn, and from one to nine turns, when the flawless golden elixir is finally cultivated, you can sense
The way of heaven, soar to the sky."
"What happened to the tribulation you mentioned before?" Wu Jie asked.
"It is extremely difficult to achieve the ninth level of returning the elixir, and it becomes more difficult as you go to the later stages. Those who are good at returning the elixir often have their life span almost gone before they can reach the ninth level to achieve the golden elixir. In this case, they have to either be reincarnated and start over again.
, or we can only risk our lives and forcefully activate the heavenly senses to try to ascend."
Wu Jie took a breath and roughly guessed what she was going to say.
"Forced ascension will lead to heavenly calamity. Those who can survive the natural calamity will succeed in ascension. If they cannot survive, everything will come to an end... There should be many masters in the realm of returning elixirs in this world, but almost all of them are struggling day after day.
I have to work hard to cultivate, just to be able to achieve the golden elixir, or to be fully prepared for overcoming the tribulation."
"Brother Dao, do you remember what I said this morning? Although many people in Dangao can see the bacteria in the water, they don't waste time studying it... Well, you know the result."
Luo Yu smiled again. Although there was a bit of sarcasm in the smile, it was more of fascination.
The elixir becomes nine turns, and the sun soars!
When imagining that scene, Wu Jie couldn't help but feel fascinated.
"By the way, there is one thing that Taoist brother may not know." Before leaving, Luo Yu suddenly remembered something and said, "The Qingyang Temple where we are about to become a disciple has people who have achieved Taoism and ascended in the past dynasties."
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened involuntarily, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.
This time I came to the right place to seek immortality!
