For ordinary people, three years is enough time for a young man who has just entered society to mature, enough time for a young girl to become more charming, and enough time for a newborn baby to grow up to run around and jump around. Doodling and doing all kinds of things that make family members happy, worried, distressed and even dumbfounded.
But for ascetics, three years cannot bring about any significant changes.
For example, I came to visit Wu Jie's Tao Tu not long ago. He didn't become a Taoist three years ago. Three years later, he still hasn't become a Taoist. It's just that his aura is thicker.
Of course, there are also significant changes. For example, Luo Yu almost shocked him when he came to visit him last time.
She replaced her overly gorgeous palace clothes with a green shirt. There were no decorations on her head or body. She carried a small cloth bag on her back and a very simple sword, which was dyed gray. Mao's Ryoma looks like a little heroine from a third-rate sect, with no trace of a monk at all.
But in fact, she has been in Taoism for almost two years.
Three years of training in the Fairy Mountain has allowed her to wash away her charisma, regain her free and easy appearance, and gain some freedom in her movements.
In An Ziqing's words, "I finally look a little bit like a human being."
Among the fellow disciples, An Ziqing was the first to come to see Wu Jie - or in other words, he came to show off to Wu Jie that he had successfully entered Taoism, and by the way announced that he would definitely surpass Wu Jie on the road to Taoism in the future.
This man didn't know what it meant to be low-key at all, and he actually rode a flying horse over, making a scene that made all the kids in the town come over to watch the fun - he actually didn't feel embarrassed at all, but rather proud of himself.
In contrast, Yi Ti was very low-key and simple. It wasn't until he came to visit that Wu Jie discovered that this poor and down-to-earth scholar turned out to be his junior brother.
The dignified Taoist master was wearing a patched and shabby robe, and he couldn't find even a small piece of silver in his wallet... This is how Yi Ti walked through the city and the countryside with the image of a poor man who was too lazy to rob. , practicing the motto of “reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles”.
In the past three years, a total of six of the twenty-seventh generation disciples of Qingyang Temple have entered Taoism. In addition to the four Qi practitioners Wu Jie, An Ziqing, Luo Yu and Yi Ti, there are also two martial arts cultivators, Xie Minghuan and Kotomine.
Xie Minghuan was originally a figure who had already half-footed his feet in martial arts. After obtaining the superior skills and studying them for a period of time, he understood the essence of martial arts by analogy, broke through the bottleneck and stepped into the innate realm. In terms of pure force, he was better than Wu The solution is not necessarily inferior.
Li Feng is a strong man who has lost his memory. He was born with arms that reach to his knees. He is extremely brave and has an indomitable momentum in battle. He is like a crazed tiger. Even Xie Minghuan cannot directly attack him.
The effect of his training at first was not significant. When Li Goudan returned to the mountain last year, he saw him immersed in training, so he instructed him to practice on the outside of the mountain-protecting formation. He could tap his own potential by resisting the power of the formation, in order to have a better future. What he realized. Kotomine practiced hard outside the formation for three months and was bruised all over his body more than once. Finally, he successfully grasped the inspiration that flashed through his mind at a critical moment and broke through to the innate realm.
In just three years, six of the fourteen disciples have entered the Taoism. This achievement makes the elders in the sect very satisfied, and Wu Jie and the others are also quite proud.
Although... Jasmine looked very dismissive of this and curled her lips and said: "In our day, all those who could not enter the Tao within a year would be fed to the spirit beasts!"
"According to this standard, among our twenty-seventh generation of disciples, only I, An Ziqing, Luo Yu and Xie Minghuan are the only four left. Are they still considered to be disciples of the first generation?" Wu Jie asked angrily.
"Who told you that your foundation is too small! When our sect accepted disciples, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people were selected to select them!"
"In the end, most of them died - even if you don't consider the issue of harming the world, don't you think it's a waste?" Wu Jie sighed, "Those who can come to you to seek immortality must have good qualifications. I guess every one of them may be with
They are on the same level as the third child. As long as they are given enough time and resources, each of them can succeed in cultivation..."
"Who has the patience to wait! The path to immortality is elusive. If you don't have great qualifications, luck and perseverance, what's the point of entering the path? If you practice for hundreds of years and finally die of old age under the golden elixir, isn't that a waste of the sect's resources?"
"Jasmine, you'd better understand one thing: I am your master now and I am cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality. If my sect does the same thing, then I myself will probably die in the inhumane screening!" After getting along with each other for these years,
Wu Jie gradually understood Jasmine's way of thinking about the problem and found a suitable method of persuasion, "Do you still think the original method was good?"
"Not good! Not good at all!" Jasmine shook her head like a rattle.
So the topic was dropped, and Wu Jie refuted the fallacies of the ancient evil sect through persuasive arguments and safeguarded the honor of the sect.
While his fellow students are constantly making progress, Wu Jie naturally does not stand still.
In fact, he is the one who has made the most progress.
During the three years in Sichen Town, he continued to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to transform his internal energy, and continuously transformed his internal energy into true energy. Then he used the true energy to infiltrate and transform his meridians. At the same time, he slowly refined and strengthened his body, transforming himself into a completely different person.
More suitable for practice.
This is a long process, and every bit is a grind. If there are not enough resources and excellent qualifications, it may even take decades - the two young immortals of the Yulong Sect that Wu Jie met back then
Among them, the one who "laid the foundation of Taoism through hundreds of refinements of true energy" probably just completed this step.
It is precisely because this process is so long that ascetics call it the "Hundred Refinements".
Hundred, which means a lot of words; Lian, which describes the specific content of cultivation.
Wu Jie is not the incarnation of a divine beast descending from heaven. His qualifications can only be considered relatively good. If he practices under normal circumstances, this step may take twenty to thirty years or even longer. Fortunately, the Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa he practices is indeed wonderful.
Abnormally, there is a way to use divine fire to burn the meridians!
This technique is very similar to Wu Jie's method of using pure Yang true fire to burn the acupoints under Jasmine's guidance, but the technique is completely different.
Jasmine actually didn't know much about the methods of cultivation. The practice of burning acupuncture points with real fire was basically taken for granted. The reason why she dared to do this was because she had the backing of the world of the Book of Heaven, so even if there was a problem with the burning, she could be treated in time - to put it bluntly, Wu
The solution is to use myself as a guinea pig under her unreliable guidance.
But the technology in the Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa is completely different. It has been studied and practiced by the gods of heaven for a long time. Every step and every link has been repeatedly scrutinized and modified. There is a complete set of detailed methods to ensure
Safety and effectiveness - The Fighting Gods obviously do not care about human life as much as the Supreme God. The exercises emphasized more than once that "even so, one must be very careful", which made Wu Jie feel that these seniors were too verbose.
At the same time, I also felt a bit warm.
Even if he couldn't see them in person, he could feel through these words the care of the seniors who created the practice for the younger ones.
In the past three years, he used divine fire to burn his meridians, bones and flesh little by little according to the exercises. Although he suffered a lot of physical and flesh pain, the pain was completely worth it - in just three years, he had burned most of his flesh and blood.
The meridians and acupuncture points have all been refined, leaving only three places: the ancestral point between the eyebrows, the soul point in the pit of the heart and the sea of qi in the Dantian.
These three points are the most important acupoints on the human body and are of vital importance to ascetics. They usually try their best to protect them, lest they be damaged at all. Wu Jie is really worried about having to burn them.
But... no matter how much you put it off, what needs to be done will still have to be done.
He has finished calcining all other meridians, which has made a qualitative leap in the strength of his meridians and the flow of Qi. As for the calcining of flesh and bone, he has also completed the calcining, leaving only the last three points.
Choosing a scorching summer day with clear skies, he asked Xing Xing and Xiao Chai to protect him, arranged a simple protective formation, and then began the crucial practice.
He sat in the formation, kept his mind calm, and silently activated the divine fire.
A ball of golden-red fire was seen rising from his body, and instantly enveloped his body, as if turning him into a human-shaped torch.
Then, these flames slowly gathered, the light became stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a dazzling golden light, floating motionless in front of him.
Wu Jie gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and urged this extremely condensed divine fire to rush into the Dantian Qi sea.
As soon as the divine fire entered his Dantian, he felt a fierce burning in his lower abdomen. The pain was so painful that he wanted to scream loudly, but he had to hold it back. Instead, he used the power aroused by this severe pain to burn out the divine fire.
Compress it as deep as possible toward the Dantian, burning the most fundamental and subtle points.
For a moment, he felt as if there were millions of knives churning in his stomach. The pain was so painful that he wished he could pass out, but he still had to control the flame to burn it as thoroughly as possible, as if he was holding a knife to cut into the flesh.
My stomach feels turbulent!
The pain in this is truly indescribable!
There was a trickle of cold sweat on his forehead, almost soaking his whole body. But every time his Qi turned around, his body temperature would rise suddenly, evaporating all the sweat - and then it would quickly return again.
Soaked again.
After several rounds of burning, a faint white frost had condensed on his eyebrows and hair, and white traces could be seen in many places on his body.
This is the trace of the salt in sweat condensing after repeated evaporation.
I don't know how long it took, but Wu Jie finally controlled the divine fire to burn the entire Dantian inside and outside, then carefully stopped the action, and then he screamed and fell to the sky.
After resting for a full two-quarters of an hour, he regained some strength and managed to get up.
"It hurts so much! It's like self-abuse!" He couldn't help complaining, "No wonder I kept telling you, 'It hurts, be careful, be mentally prepared, and don't show off'... It's not at the same level as burning other places!
"
"Of course. Didn't you say in this technique that all other acupoints, acupoints, meridians, bones and flesh can be burned slowly in batches from shallow to deep. Only the three major acupoints must be burned thoroughly at one time - the effect this time is
It's worth it several times, and the pain will certainly be worth it several times." Du Ruo comforted him and said, "Don't worry, there are only two more times left."
Wu Jie let out a long sigh, feeling that his life in the next few days would be an inhumane darkness!
What's even worse is that he can obviously escape this darkness, but he has to go in by himself...
