Chapter 7 Prepare for the Big Competition, Temporary Reinforcement
If you ask a monk what he has been doing most of his life, the other party will definitely answer "mediate and breathe".
The so-called "sniffing" means exhaling turbid air and incorporating clean air, so as to continuously purify oneself, thereby slowly improving the level of cultivation. This is the traditional Taoist practice method.
The Kunlun monks who focus on cultivation are even more of the masters of meditation and refining qi. They can stay in the cave for decades without going out.
But if you ask a monk, where most of your cultivation level that you have grown in your life comes from, the other party will definitely answer "secret realms and adventures".
How much cultivation can be increased by meditation and qi refining? You should know that the life expectancy limit of the foundation building realm can be only about two hundred years at most.
But as long as you are lucky enough to find a secret realm of Purple Mansion, you can increase your cultivation level from ten to thirty years, rare even fifty years, seventy years... How many times higher than meditation and qi refining.
The reason why most monks do not search for secret realms is only two simple reasons:
First, no chance...
There is no Internet in this classical world, and naturally there is no possibility of information explosion.
Most of the ancient books that may record information about the secret realm are treasured by major sects, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to obtain.
For monks from major sects, there are too many information they can read and search, which can be said to be "a huge number of volumes" and "a lot of people".
Most of the ones that are easy to interpret are plundered by the predecessors, and the rest are even more obscure and difficult to distinguish, and they don’t know whether they are true or not.
Second, I was not sure.
The Secret Realm was created by the powerful people in ancient times, and its design purposes are different.
Some are for training younger generations, some are for inheriting traditions, and some are for pure use for living and storage... for various purposes.
Correspondingly, the degree of risks may be outrageously high, and the returns may be pitifully small.
After working hard, I spent my life exploring the secret realm, but returned empty-handed. It was difficult for a monk to accept it.
In short, if breathing and refining Qi is like "working", which can achieve stable and meager returns; then exploring the secret realm is like "starting a business", with risks and returns completely irrelevant, and the instability is ridiculously large.
The more powerful the sect and abundant resources the monks tend to breathe and refine their energy every day, rather than wasting time to find secret realms.
The casual cultivators are willing to "take a fight" and "fight a path", but from the perspective of base ratio, most of them tend to breathe and refine qi. Only when their life is about to end will they sacrifice their lives to fight.
It can be seen that risk aversion is human instinct, both monks and mortals are like this.
Of course, I am different. Qiu Changtian thought to himself.
Although I hate risks, I have a heavy mission, which is to fight for the survival of the whole world.
Therefore, I must overcome my instinct of being lazy and hateful, search for those illusory clues of relics, explore various secret realms left by ancient times, be willing to risk my life and death, and finally I have achieved such a magnificent foundation in cultivation!
"If it weren't for the peerless talent that Yaoyao gave you and the information advantages brought by many schools at the same time, can Lord Sword Master still achieve what he has today?" Qingping Jian suddenly asked with a teasing.
"Of course." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "Young phoenixes are better than magpie's nest. Isn't it a phoenix? I admit that my basic starting point is indeed a little higher than everyone else, but the main factor in my success,
It’s still about great perseverance, great wisdom, and great wrists…”
"And this amazing big-skinned face." Qingpingjian sighed.
"What are you talking nonsense about the truth?" Kunlun Jing scolded, then turned to comfort Qiu Changtian, "It's okay, watch the water and don't pay attention to it. It's just jealous."
Autumn long days:…………………………
Do you think I can't hear this red face and white face sing a double act?
He opened his eyes while closing his eyes and then saw that his junior brothers and sisters had arrived.
Xu Yinglian, Guan Zhan, Yan Zhitui, Chen Zhen, Zhong Tianhuai, and Jian Qingnan, who had finally recovered their complexion, all gathered in the cave to listen to his lectures.
Qiu Changtian was not in a hurry to start speaking, but just pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:
"I suddenly thought recently that if a monk wants to achieve success on the path of Tao, is the background more important? Or is the mental ability more important?"
Xu Yinglian thought about something.
If it were before, when she first started, she would definitely answer without hesitation that "mental ability is more important."
However, since she joined the Kunlun Sect, no matter how hard she worked, she was suppressed by Senior Brother Qiu, so that she has now become vaguely conscious:
The mental ability and the acquired things are just the foundation of practitioners. What is more important is the endowment of the Tao that can only be obtained innately.
You keep striving to temper your mental and mental abilities. But others are talented and work hard like you, and their talent for practicing Taoism is stronger than you. How can you compare to others?
"Of course it is the ability of the mind." The other junior brothers and sisters also fell into deep thought, and said without hesitation. "If you don't have the ability and have talent, what's the difference between it and that pig and dog?"
"It's true." Kunlun Jing and Qingping Jian echoed at the same time.
Autumn Changtian:???
He was about to frown and say something when he suddenly saw a stream of light shot into the outside of the cave and threw the jade slip into his palm.
It is the head teacher’s flying sword to pass the letter!
Qiu Changtian quickly finished reading the message, stood up and said:
"let's go."
"Let's go?" The junior brothers and sisters looked at each other, and as impatient as Zhong Tianhuai asked directly, "But senior brother, I haven't told the sutra today yet."
"I won't talk about it for now." Qiu Changtian laughed and said, "A great blessing is coming, you will know if you follow me."
Everyone left the Jinling Cave and each drove his sword light into the air.
Jian Qingnan quietly approached Xu Yinglian and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Ying Lian, is this great blessing?..."
"I think it's the secret realm in the sect that is about to be opened." Xu Yinglian whispered.
"Secret Realm in the Sect?" Jian Qingnan's eyes lit up, and the other junior brothers and sisters were all excited when they heard this.
Qiu Changtian was calm in front of him, thinking that his junior sister probably learned about the wind from the Xu family in advance.
As the leader of the Three Pure Ones and Orthodox Church and also occupy the Kunlun Mountains, the Kunlun Shangqing Sect has the most secret realms in the world.
However, the sect is very cautious about opening secret realms and promoting disciples' cultivation. It is not like Shushan Demon Lock Tower, which opens every few years and keeps giving everyone benefits.
Because the conservative elders in the sect believed that if their disciples rely too much on the secret adventures, they would not practice down-to-earth and diligently.
Although this reason sounds outrageous, it is normal to think that it is a view put forward by the conservatives.
But this time, the Bai Yujing Competition is ahead. If the first one is taken away by the Shushan Sword Immortal, what kind of face does Kunlun still have to call himself the leader of the orthodox church?
Therefore, the Chief Ziwei took the opportunity to give the order, and the elders agreed to open the secret realm of the Light Palace deep in the mountains and give a temporary reinforcement to the elite disciples of Kunlun.
As far as Qiu Changtian knows, this Palace of Light was the residence of Emperor Zhurong in the past, and has now become a secret realm.
There are countless treasures, but they are not like the East China Sea Ligong. They will choose objects that suit you for you. Instead, they will be distributed simply randomly after completing the test of the secret realm... Therefore, the gap between the upper and lower limits is very large, which is a bit like a mobile game card pool.
The Ou is flying, so fast.
Thinking of this, Qiu Changtian couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
The secret realm of the Guangming Palace is an important place in Kunlun Shangqing Sect, and no non-Kunlun disciple has ever entered it.
Otherwise, if I could come and explore with Miss Shi and rely on her unreasonable luck, wouldn’t I take off directly?
