Zhao Gongming continued: "My Shangqing lineage is the most authentic direct descendant of Taoism. Before I became an immortal, I focused on cultivating essence, energy and spirit.
The realm of cultivation is divided into four realms: refining energy to transform into energy, refining energy to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Tao.
Jing refers to essence, essence, qi and blood, so at the beginning of cultivation, the body’s essence must be sufficient first, and only then can one start practicing. If a person is old and frail..."
Just as he said this, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but be startled when he saw Qi Yuan's somewhat resentful eyes.
Only then did he realize that his apprentice was considered old among mortals.
He coughed lightly and said nonchalantly: "If the qi and blood are weak and the essence is insufficient, it will be difficult to get started. Unless you have the opportunity to obtain a panacea, improve your physique, and replenish qi and blood, you can open up the meridians in the body and embark on the path of cultivation.
.
Of course, this refers to ordinary creatures. If there are some naturally powerful beings, there is no need to worry about these.
For example, the dragon clan has a strong body and innate supernatural powers. Even if they don't practice, as long as they reach adulthood, they can be comparable to ordinary immortals.
Qi is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Practitioners of our generation call ourselves Qi Refiners because the magic power in our body is obtained by refining spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy was born between heaven and earth, but the more famous mountains and rivers there are, the more spiritual veins there are, and the more abundant spiritual energy there is, so many caves and blessed places are formed.
Anyone with advanced cultivation will occupy a blessed place and open their own cave for cultivation.
In the ordinary world, spiritual energy is mixed, so except for those who need to practice their Taoist mind in the world of mortals, there are very few Qigong practitioners with advanced cultivation skills in the world of mortals.
God refers to the primordial spirit. Of course, before the primordial spirit is condensed, the souls of ordinary creatures are still very weak and cannot easily leave the body, so they cannot be called primordial spirits.
Only when the soul is powerful enough to reach a certain level, can it be condensed into a soul that can leave the body and travel around.
However, when you first become a soul, you must not do this unless you have a secret treasure to protect you or you have refined an external incarnation.
If you meet someone who is good at refining evil magic weapons and captures your soul and sacrifices it to make it into a magic weapon, that would be unlucky."
Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and secretly made up his mind that even if he became a soul in the future, he would still stay there and not run around.
Zhao Gongming looked at Qi Yuan and said: "You are now in the stage of refining your energy and becoming a god, and your magic power is a bit weak. Hey, why is your soul so powerful? No, there is also the light of merit. Where did you get the merit?
"
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Qi Yuan thoroughly, and he was a little surprised: "There is actually Xinhuo, have you seen the Suiren family?"
Zhao Gongming was really surprised.
He originally thought that his apprentice had average qualifications and was just a bit smart, but he didn't expect that he could still surprise him.
Whether it is the merits of humanity or the fire that has been passed down through the Suiren family, these are things that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
It seems that my disciple also has great fortune!
Qi Yuan did not dare to hide it, and said quickly: "Reporting to Master, this disciple has some experience in cooking. When he traveled to Kyushu in the past, he taught his skills widely, and later wrote three volumes of recipes. With some contributions to the human race,
This prompted God to send down merit.
Later, I met the Suiren clan, the ancestor of my human race, and was fortunate enough to receive a spiritual fire as a gift from the senior Suiren clan. The disciple also felt that this spiritual fire was powerful, but the disciple's cultivation was too weak and he could not exert its power."
After hearing this, Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "It's normal that your little magic power can't exert its power. Although the human fire is an acquired fire, it has evolved into a fire of merit because it has been contaminated with too many merits. We really want the Suiren clan to use all their strength.
If you use it, even the teacher will have to retreat."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this disciple really got it right, he has such good fortune, as long as he teaches him well, he will not have to worry about whether he can achieve the path of immortality in the future.
Moreover, he also has some affection for the Suiren family. Yes, since he can induce the heaven to send merit, of course those in Huoyun Palace will not be unaware of it.
It seems that it is a good thing that this disciple can still have some relationship with Huoyun Palace.
The three emperors of the human race have a high status, especially the emperor Fuxi, who observes the perfect principles of yin and yang in the world, created the innate Bagua, and his Taoist realm is much more powerful than in his previous life. He and the Empress Nuwa are still brother and sister.
Well, it seems that if there is a chance in the future, he should let his apprentice make more trips to Huoyun Palace.
Zhao Gongming was thinking in his mind.
Although he has the cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian, compared with the Three Emperors, he is still far behind.
Even though the Earth Emperor Shennong and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan were both much younger than him, these two emperors were favored by heaven and directly achieved meritorious deeds. Even among the ancestors, their strength was not weak at all.
It's just that when they reach that state, most of them can't escape from the world and only focus on understanding the great road, so there are few opportunities for confrontation.
Zhao Gongming was happy in his heart, and he was even more optimistic about the future of this apprentice.
However, Qi Yuan's cultivation level is still low at this time after all, and he still needs to be taught well.
"Okay, we'll talk about this later. Well, the string of beads on your body is the Twelve Yuan Chen White Bone Divine Beads.
These deviant things can be used as protective treasures now, but you must not rely too much on them in the future, otherwise there is a risk of backlash. The right way is to focus on cultivation."
Zhao Gongming saw through the nature of the string of white bone beads on Qi Yuan's body at a glance, and gave Qi Yuan a few words of warning.
After all, the method of external incarnation that Qi Yuan used before was originally a method of refining the bones of gods and demons.
Qi Yuan responded quickly: "Disciple understands and will follow Master's teachings."
"Ah That's good."
Zhao Gongming nodded and continued the previous topic, saying: "Refining qi and transforming into a spirit is the stage of training the soul. The subsequent stage of refining the spirit and returning it to the void refers to integrating into the void with the power of the soul after training the soul.
Only when everything is fully enlightened can we return to our origins, understand our hearts and see our nature, and then we can understand the ultimate principles of heaven.
As for refining the void and combining it with the Tao, it talks about incorporating the Tao that you have understood into your soul and integrating it with the Tao.
However, when you incorporate the enlightened path into your own body, it will trigger the induction of Heavenly Dao, and there will also be a Heavenly Tribulation at that time. As long as you survive the Heavenly Tribulation and pass the test of Heavenly Dao, you can achieve the Path of Heavenly Immortal, and live a long and happy life from now on.
The suffering of reincarnation.
However, after achieving the immortal path, it is not that there will be no disasters. If you want to be truly free in the world, you need to work harder to practice.
Above the Celestial Immortal, there are several realms such as the Xuan Immortal, the Golden Immortal, and the Daluo Golden Immortal. As for the higher realm, it’s useless to tell you now. Even my master, I can’t even reach it now.
realm.”
Having said this, Zhao Gongming couldn't help but sigh.
After practicing for countless years, most of those who truly reached that state were the first batch of creatures born at the beginning of the world. Even though he had cultivated to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, he still felt that the road ahead was still far away.
Qi Yuan muttered in his heart, "If you don't want to tell me, just don't mention it. Now I won't tell you half of it. Isn't this exciting?"
He was a little itchy and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what is the realm above Da Luo Jinxian?"
