Ever since Xi Zhong knew that he could not practice cultivation, he had set a small goal for himself, which was to first possess spiritual roots.
No matter what the quality of this spiritual root is, Xi Zhong will be satisfied if it can at least allow him to practice and embark on the journey of becoming an immortal.
Now, he is satisfied.
However, a new goal came again.
Practice.
In this short moment, Xi Zhong set a new training goal for himself: to reach the Qi Refining Realm first.
Refining Qi Refining Qi means refining spiritual energy, nourishing and strengthening oneself with spiritual energy, and increasing the toughness of one's body.
The Qi Refining Realm is also called the "Basic Realm".
The quality of your base realm determines the quality of your foundation-building realm.
The quality of your foundation-building realm can determine the quality of your light-opening realm.
Step by step, layer by layer, no monks are given a chance to relax.
It doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about it if you are in the Qi Refining Realm, you can just cross it at will.
If your foundation in the Qi Refining Realm is not good, then your foundation in the Foundation Establishment Realm will be bad. If your foundation in the Foundation Establishment Realm is not good, then your foundation in the Light Opening Realm will be even worse.
The cycle of heavenly principles and the level of cultivation are almost the same.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This saying is even more applicable in spiritual practice.
Even during the occasional conversation between Xi Zhong and Guan Xinying, he learned that the girl was frequently beaten by her father when she was in the Qi Refining Realm.
Originally, her father was the general of the Fire Sun Kingdom, and he was very skilled in martial arts. Although he felt distressed when he beat his daughter, it was for the sake of his daughter, so he still had to work hard to strengthen his daughter's body so that her foundation in the Qi Refining Realm could be improved.
Up some.
So Xi Zhong can start now and ask Long Yuan for advice on how to practice.
With Long Yuan here, I really don't know how much trouble is saved. Firstly, Long Yuan's realm is already high here, and he can guide Xi Zhong to take some detours. Secondly, Xi Zhong believes that Long Yuan is definitely better than those in Luo Chan Sect.
It is extremely normal for elders to choose powerful people to give guidance if they want to be powerful.
If there is no Long Yuan, then even if Xi Zhong has spiritual roots, it will be difficult to practice.
As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
But if you don’t have a master to lead you in, how can you talk about personal cultivation?
Now Xi Zhong can finally feel the so-called "spiritual energy".
Those spiritual energy flowed in through his acupuncture points at all times, making Xi Zhong feel extremely comfortable, and at the same time, Xi Zhong felt strong throughout his body.
This is the most basic difference between practitioners and ordinary people.
People have spiritual energy to nourish themselves all the time, but ordinary people, even those who have reached the top of the martial arts world, will only suffer when facing such monks, even if their strength is similar.
Now Xi Zhong just wants to learn a technique that can help him successfully enter the path of cultivating immortality.
So now Xi Zhong asked Long Yuan.
The truth is that Xi Zhong doesn’t have any skills to learn right now.
Even the Fire Palm, Xi Zhong can't learn it at the moment.
But Long Yuan's answer disappointed Xi Zhong, "Master, you have just 'opened' your spiritual roots now, and your spiritual roots are somewhat damaged, so I don't recommend that you start learning the exercises right away."
Xi Zhong was very disappointed.
You have spiritual roots but you cannot practice cultivation immediately.
However, he was disappointed for a moment, and quickly adjusted and asked: "Then what should I do now?"
"Rest first."
Okay, then take a rest.
But this did not stop Xi Zhong from seeking knowledge.
Since there are no major problems in the Muling District canteen, after Xi Zhong’s dedicated teaching, the aunts and uncles there also have their own special cooking skills, and they can still make delicious meals when they work together, so this also means that Xi Zhong
It's time to return to the Caoling District at the foot of the mountain.
In fact, it goes without saying that Xi Zhong will take the initiative to go back. He can understand that this place is not suitable for him, and only the environment below Caoling District is suitable for him.
So the next day after that, Xi Zhong said goodbye to Fan Tian.
Fan Tian did not retain Xi Zhong, but at the same time he did not take back Xi Zhong's spiritual power door lock, which was strange.
Since they wouldn't accept it, Xi Zhong, adhering to his stingy mentality, didn't bother to take the initiative to return it.
Xi Zhong was still very curious about this kind of spiritual door lock, because now he could sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so he wanted to see what kind of secrets there were in this kind of spiritual door lock.
Although Fan Tian did not try to persuade Xi Zhong to stay, thinking about Xi Zhong's contribution in the cafeteria during this period, he still got up and sent Xi Zhong to the mountain gate of Muling District, and at the same time said "Thank you" to Xi Zhong in a low voice.
.
Xi Zhong smiled and nodded in response.
It seems that Huayufeng is indeed a good place. The sisters here have very good personalities.
Xi Zhong spent half a day going down the mountain.
In fact, according to his current slightly stronger body than before, it would not take him half a day to go down the mountain. Xi Zhong just looked left and right on the way to see the wonderful scenery that could only exist at Huayu Peak.
Zhang Keke was very happy that Xi Zhong came back.
Because during this time, the sisters in the kitchen were not used to the days when their junior brother was not around.
Similarly, as the manager of the kitchen, Zhang Keke naturally hopes that his junior brother will be in the kitchen.
With Xi Zhong in the kitchen, work will be much easier.
Although Xi Zhong didn't do all the cooking work like before, and they only had to wash and serve the dishes, Xi Zhong was very articulate.
I remember that he was able to turn black into white and yellow into green, which frightened a group of senior sisters into a daze.
Since that mouth can bluff people, it can also be used to seduce people.
One moment a short story, the other a short joke, and some chicken soup for the soul or a sad love story.
What a fool, how can these young ladies who have fallen into trouble from secular dynasties resist this kind of offensive?
So in the kitchen where Xi Zhong was, the ladies there were smiling almost all day long.
When they heard Zhang Keke say that Junior Brother Xi Zhong was back, all the ladies in the kitchen let out small shouts of joy.
Some people even made fun of each other.
"Hey, where's the sister who said she wanted to marry her junior brother last time? Why did she refuse?"
"That's right, get married as soon as possible."
"I do want to get married, but then my junior brother must like me."
"Keke, look, you said you don't like my junior brother!"
"..."
Xi Zhong felt very comfortable returning to a familiar environment.
After all, in the canteen of Muling District, you can only face a few aunts and uncles every day. How could it be as comfortable as facing a beautiful young lady like now?
In addition, Xi Zhong has just achieved his small goal, which is called happiness and a smile on his face.
They even started to fall in love with the young ladies here.
Clear breeze and bright moonlit night.
In the back mountain of Caoling District, another firewood was lit.
It was not Xi Zhong who was forced to go to the back mountain by Guan Xinying again, but Xi Zhong who took the initiative to please Guan Xinying.
At that time, Guan Xinying, who originally heard that Xi Zhong was back, was about to go out to block the junior fellow apprentice. However, the junior junior fellow apprentice came to her door and tried to please her by offering to bake a rabbit for her senior sister.
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Guan Xinying was fully alert, but she still agreed to go to the back mountain with Xi Zhong.
She just wanted to see what this junior brother wanted to do.
Of course, she wasn't afraid that this junior brother would dare to mess around, since he couldn't beat her anyway.
When Guan Xinying finished eating a roasted rabbit with great pleasure, her small hands gathered spiritual power and shook, and the stars spread out on her palms. Her beautiful hands were completely rid of the oily smell and became clean.
Xi Zhong, who had just obtained spiritual roots and could sense the fluctuations of spiritual power, felt that this ability to use spiritual power casually was amazing.
In fact, Xi Zhong had seen Guan Xinying like this before, but at that time he had not yet opened his spiritual roots and could not sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so he was not too surprised by Guan Xinying's behavior, which was like performing magic.
Now that I can sense the fluctuations of spiritual power, I can only feel curious when I look at Guan Xinying's clever use of spiritual power.
You must know that one cannot skillfully use spiritual power in the Qi Refining Realm. Only when one reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm can one become proficient in spiritual power.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do by being so attentive?" Guan Xinying crossed her hands and glanced at Xi Zhong.
"Senior sister, look at what you said." Xi Zhong said sheepishly, "How can I possibly want you to do anything?"
"Then you say it or not. If you don't tell me, I will go down the mountain and go back to the house to sleep." Guan Xinying did not follow Xi Zhong's tactics and went straight to the point.
Xi Zhong only had to express his purpose: "Okay, okay, I do have a few questions that I would like to ask Senior Sister."
Guan Xinying hummed, that expression probably meant a demo, you still want to hide it from me?
"Tell me, since you took the initiative to roast rabbit for me, I allow you to ask a question." Guan Xinying waved her hand, as if allowing Xi Zhong to ask a question was like Xi Zhong taking advantage of the world.
Xi Zhong didn't care, rubbed his hands, and asked: "How did you enter the Qi Refining Realm? How did you practice when you were in the Qi Refining Realm?"
"Those are two questions." Guan Xinying groaned dissatisfied.
Then he glanced at Xi Zhong and said: "How to enter the Qi Refining Realm? It's that simple. People with spiritual roots will open their acupoints after opening their spiritual roots. Most people only have three acupoints.
The number of acupoints is not related to the quality of the spiritual roots.”
"After the spiritual roots are opened, the acupoints are opened together, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth can be absorbed. However, this kind of spiritual energy can only be absorbed and cannot be released. The spiritual energy that cannot be released can be refined to nourish one's body, while preventing the spiritual energy from passing through.
If a lot of it accumulates in the body, this is the Qi refining state."
"The way to enter the Qi Refining Realm is to 'open the root'. Generally speaking, monks who have opened the Qi Refining Realm will directly enter the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, which means they can start to absorb a small amount of spiritual energy, but they need to refine it.
Reiki is still very difficult. You can only figure out the method of refining reiki by yourself."
Xi Zhong opened his eyes wide.
Oh, it turns out that once feelings have taken root, they have reached the first level of Qi Refining Realm, right?
No wonder those in the outer sect who are at the second and third levels of the Qi Refining Realm are so bad. Is it so easy to get into the Qi Refining Realm?
