Having said this, Tao Xiaowu suddenly understood the evolution of the entire practice.
In the early world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant and there were many resources. All kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth were gathered for cultivation.
Later, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was insufficient, inner alchemy began to rise.
Why?
Nei alchemy is to refine the Qi in one's own body and tap one's own potential. There is a metaphor, that is, refining sand and panning for gold.
Continuously refine the countless potentials in your body, which is the so-called essence, energy and spirit, and finally dig out a little gold sand.
Then, little by little, we will think of ways to strengthen this golden sand, and finally achieve success through cultivation.
But what if your body's potential is insufficient, that is, your energy and energy are insufficient?
The sand has been panned out, but the gold has not been panned out.
Or is there not enough gold?
Then the only outcome will be death.
Or what if you find gold sand and consume it?
Still, I will die without waiting for you to achieve success.
This is also the reason why many founders who later practiced alchemy had already left the West when they were forty or fifty years old!
Therefore, inner alchemy is a method of cultivation after the external spiritual energy is insufficient!
Therefore, when Tao Xiaowu traveled to the Great Yu era, it was simply the best era for spiritual practice.
If it were earlier, Shinto would be suppressed and he would not be able to get ahead.
Later, the spiritual energy will gradually decline.
…
"Sir, have you left seclusion?"
The two girls are smiling like flowers!
"Thank you very much. Thank you for taking care of the Qiong tree for me when I was away..."
To be honest, ever since the two girls Kong Qingnanxing took over to illuminate the Qiong tree, the Qiong tree has grown much faster than before!
In a short period of time, the Qiong tree grew more than half a meter taller.
It can be seen that professional things still need professional people to do it!
Kong Qing was curious: "Master, why do you want to practice?"
A born god and a born divine body are extremely powerful in their own right. They do not need to practice at all to possess powerful power.
Therefore, Kong Qing really didn’t know what Tao Xiaowu was doing!
"Mortals of flesh and blood are no better than gods. They are born with the ability to master the laws. Of course, they need to practice on their own..." Tao Xiaowu smiled and explained briefly.
"But haven't we taught the young master the Yunzhuan Divine Seal? As long as you understand the Yunzhuan Divine Seal, you will naturally be able to master the way of heaven and earth, so why do you need to practice?" Kong Qing was still a little confused.
Tao Xiaowu smiled and said: "It is not a simple matter to understand the Yunzhuan Seal. It often takes tens or even hundreds of years to understand just a little bit.
If I had understood it more, hundreds or even thousands of years would have passed.
The gods have a long lifespan and can be understood slowly. They may even sleep for hundreds or thousands of years. When they wake up, they will at least have the golden edict.
But mortal life is too short, only a few decades, so how can we waste it?
Naturally, we have to seize the day!"
Mayflies live and die in the morning and evening, and crickets do not know the spring and autumn.
The shorter life is, the busier it is.
And it’s just for the sake of instinct!
Tao Xiaowu has become a Sanxian and can live in the human body for two to three hundred years without any problem.
Whether the soul is reincarnated or devoted to the divine way, it is not a problem to live several times more!
But Tao Xiaowu has only lived for a few decades now, and cannot change the busy and diligent nature of ordinary people.
It cannot be compared with the leisure of the gods!
Perhaps Tao Xiaowu would not be able to learn that kind of ease until he lived a hundred or two hundred years.
Therefore, in practice, the earlier it is, the faster it will be, and the later it will be, the slower it will be.
In addition to the simplicity in the early stage of practice and the difficulty in the later stage, it is of course also related to the urgency attitude.
It is said that eating in the wind and drinking dew, wandering clouds and wild cranes, empty mountains and years, I don’t know the age of sixty years.
Those are at least the things of a true immortal.
Just like in the original world, freedom requires at least financial freedom in order to enjoy various freedoms in life.
And if a practitioner is free and happy, at least he is immortal, and only then can he talk about being free and happy!
Kong Qingnanxing and Kong Qingnanxing are both born gods, so naturally they cannot feel these things.
Even though Tao Xiaowu said it, the two women still half understood it!
Tao Xiaowu smiled softly. This kind of thing is not experienced personally, and no matter how much it is said, it is useless.
He then smiled and said: "The gods are born with great power and their longevity is endless.
We, the mortals of flesh and blood, cannot compare, so we can only practice and transform ourselves little by little, so that we can barely compare with the gods!"
"What's the wonder?"
"No wonder the gods of the Divine Court were very repulsive to those overseas Qi practitioners. Young Master, I'm not talking about you..."
Kong Qing said, as if realizing that he had made a mistake, he hurriedly explained.
Tao Xiaowu shook his head slightly and laughed, saying: "It's okay. Anyway, the divine court is also being robbed now, so I can't control that much..."
In fact, everything Kong Qing said was correct.
The practice of early Qi practitioners was basically to imitate the gods in order to gain powerful strength and immortal life.
Immortals come from witches. The original world believed that the origin of Taoism comes from Alchemy, Yi Jing, Lao and Zhuang.
Alchemy is an early form of witchcraft, and the Book of Changes comes from the ancient times when gods and humans were indistinguishable.
This world is actually pretty much the same!
"Actually, sister is wrong..." Na Nanxing suddenly laughed and said: "Those overseas Qi practitioners were all taught by some witch gods.
I heard the empress say that when Emperor Dongjun Fusang was defeated and went overseas, he created a method of cultivation and taught it to ordinary mortals and even animals with fur and horns. This is how the later Qi Practitioners came about!"
Is there such a thing?
Such secrets will not be recorded in human books.
Even if there is a record, it is only briefly mentioned in one or two sentences, and it is not detailed at all.
That is to say, only two girls like Kong Qingnan Xing, who came from Shenting Moon Palace and had extraordinary backgrounds, could know many ancient secrets.
In this way, doesn't the Dongjun Emperor Fusang look like the Tongtian Cult Master of Jin'ao Island in the legend of the original world?
Wouldn't that mean we have to stage a God-conferring Romance?
No, in this kind of world, the era equivalent to the fall of Yin Dynasty and the rise of Zhou Dynasty has long passed.
The Da Yu era in this world today is almost equivalent to the Han Dynasty in the original world...
Of course, that's just fiction and mythology.
However, in real history, Taoism originated from the magical alchemists along the Qilu coast during the Warring States Period.
It was in the Eastern Han Dynasty that it really sprouted and developed, with the emergence of the Taiping Road and the Five Pecks of Rice Road...
Tao Xiaowu was thinking vaguely in his mind, but asked curiously: "What is the origin of Dongjun Emperor Fusang?"
"Emperor Dongjun Fusang was an ancient heavenly emperor. After he ascended the throne, he went to the place where the sun rises in the East China Sea.
Out of sympathy for the short life of all living beings, he created a method of cultivation..." Nan Xing said.
This statement is very official.
Of course, Nan Xing himself only knows this version. As for the truth, it is difficult to say.
I guess he won’t be so great and upright!
However, Tao Xiaowu would not make up too much in his head, lest he be like some famous historians who free their mind to testify and create and interpret history at will.
