Chapter 43: Can I count as a practice without skipping a level?
Penglai Yuqing Temple, Daozang Pavilion.
Luo Yan looked up from the pile of books, looking a little dazed.
After looking through hundreds of scriptures, I still couldn't find any relevant information about "living the palace".
The only place where I saw a sentence in the "General History of Ancient Interpretation of Education" is that "the Heavenly Lord was worried and began to build the Li Palace."
So who is Tianzun?
What are you worried about? Are you worried?
Why do we need to build a palace to worry about? What is a palace to live in?
Let’s take another look at the name of the author of this scripture. Well! He is indeed the predecessor of the ancient Kunlun.
All scriptures from the Kunlun Taiqing Sect are always in this detestable minimalist style. If it can be described in one word, it will never be described in two words - as if writing one more word will reduce the quality.
If you want to use less words and pay more attention to style, why the hell don’t you make a PPT? How about some easy-to-understand charts?
Luo Yan showed this text to Shi Liuli, which made Miss Shi scratch her head.
"Tianzun should refer to the master of the teachings, Yuanshi Tianzun." Shi Liuli speculated, "As for this worrying matter..."
"Wait a minute!" Luo Yan said dumbfounded, "Sister, if it was really built by Yuanshi Tianzun, then the level of this Li Palace is terrifyingly high, and it shouldn't be related to our Qi Refining Level."
"What you said makes sense." Shi Liuli said distressedly, "So who is this Heavenly Lord?"
"We don't care who this Tianzun is." Luo Yan tried to persuade the eldest lady, "But there are so many scriptures in the Daozang Pavilion. Looking for a special noun in it is like finding a needle in a haystack. I think it is better to get the senior brother drunk and then start from there.
He’s lying there…”
"You think I haven't tried it?" Shi Liuli looked at him sideways, "He's been on guard against me lately, and he always carries hangover pills with him."
"How strange." Luo Yan thought, "Is this a secret that everyone should keep secret?"
"The secret is not necessarily a secret." Shi Liuli replied, "It's just that the senior brothers and sisters all obey my father's words."
"My father probably just casually said, don't tell me directly or something, but they all refused to tell me."
"That's it." Luo Yan thought secretly for a moment and then made up his mind.
Ask the audience for help!
"I'm going to the bathroom." He stood up and said.
"Don't go!" Shi Liuli said angrily.
"Senior sister! You can't even go to the toilet. Isn't that too overbearing?" Luo Yan said with a bitter face.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Shi Liuli put her hands on her hips and said, "As a Qi-refining monk, you've already been fasting, so why are you going to the toilet?"
Luo Yan:………………
This young lady suddenly became shrewd again!
"Look, you clearly want to escape!" Shi Liuli shouted angrily.
"Senior sister." Luo Yan said helplessly, "Actually, I already have an idea. I just plan to go to the toilet to tidy up."
"What inspiration do you need to tidy up the toilet?" Shi Liuli sneered.
"Arithmetic." Luo Yan lied.
"Arithmetic cannot be calculated here?"
"cannot."
"Why?"
"Senior sister is so beautiful that it distracts me and makes me unable to concentrate on my calculations."
Shi Liuli:?
"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you." She waved her hand with a smile, "Where are you going to the bathroom? We don't have that kind of filthy place in Tiangongfang. There is a quiet room in Daozang Pavilion. You can go there to do it, but
Don’t run away!”
"Okay, okay." Luo Yan quickly stood up and said.
After arriving in the quiet room and confirming that no one was around, he called the Kunlun Mirror in his mind:
"Yao Yao, I want to read the file!"
Kunlun Mirror ignored him.
"A Jing?" Luo Yan immediately changed his words.
"Which file should I read?" Kunlun Jing asked.
"Kunlun."
[Point 1: Kunlun Taiqing Sect, Jinling Cave.]
[Character identity: Qiu Changtian.]
[Covered by the Mirror Flower, Water Moon template, traveling through time and space.]
The body reappeared in Kunlun, and at the same time, he was exerted with the illusion of mirror, flower, water and moon, which was invincible. He quickly switched to Qiu Changtian's mental state, calmly left the cave, and stood up with his sword.
Prepare to visit Xu Changqing, the Chief of the Foundation Establishment Period.
Xu Changqing, born in the Xu family of Tiannan, is the 276th chief disciple of Kunlun. He is now the chief disciple of the Foundation Establishment Period and is the "first person under the golden elixir" of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect.
By the way, the "first person under the golden elixir" of the Qing sect in Shushan is Senior Sister An Zhisu'an.
Needless to say, the relationship between Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu, and the relationship between Qiu Changtian and Xu Changqing, is actually not much different.
The reason is very simple. In the genealogy of the Xu family in Tiannan, Xu Changqing is Xu Yinglian's great-uncle, that is, his grandfather's uncle.
In other words, according to the Taoist couple's marriage contract, Qiu Changtian is Xu Changqing's prospective great-nephew and grandson-in-law.
Although this title is a bit convoluted, Xu Changqing does regard Qiu Changtian as his junior because of this relationship.
"Changtian?" Seeing Qiu Changtian coming to visit, Xu Changqing, who was meditating, stood up to greet him.
His appearance remains about thirty years old. He has neither the immature aura of a young man nor the sense of vicissitudes of a middle-aged man. His appearance can be said to have no characteristics.
He also acts very low-key on weekdays, which makes Qiu Changtian envious: Why don't he want to be like this? It's just that his personality doesn't allow it.
"Senior brother Changqing." Qiu Changtian saluted respectfully, and then asked straight to the point, "Changtian came here because he wanted to inquire about a location from senior brother."
"Where?" Xu Changqing was a little surprised.
"Leave the palace." Qiu Changtian said in a deep voice.
Xu Changqing blinked, then smiled and said:
"That's it. I didn't expect you heard the news so early."
Autumn Changtian:?
Why, does Li Gong have anything to do with me, Qiu Changtian?
Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Xu Changqing thought for a moment and then explained the relationship:
"Changtian, you also know that the main purpose of practicing Qi refining is to introduce Qi into the body and fill the Qi sea."
"The bone refining, marrow removal and expansion of meridians during the marrow cleansing period require a large amount of true energy to assist, which requires you to have a full sea of qi."
"In general, depending on the monk's personal qualifications and the pros and cons of Qi refining techniques, it will take about thirty to sixty years to fill the Qi sea."
"During this period, without the help of external objects such as flying swords and magic weapons, the combat ability of Qi Refining level monks will be very fragile."
"In ancient times, the Chan Sect at that time faced another problem, that is, the number of low-level disciples was far less than that of the Jie Jiao."
"Although the average qualifications are higher, due to the low level of cultivation, there is no way to widen the gap with the Jie Jiao disciples."
"Therefore, the ancient Chanjiao had the power to use their supreme magical power and build a 'Secret Realm of Leaving the Palace' under the East China Sea by borrowing the majestic spiritual power of the earth's volcanoes."
"This secret realm of leaving the palace is specially designed for the trial of the foundation-level disciples."
"As long as you can pass the trial, you will not only have the opportunity to obtain flying swords, magic weapons, elixirs, and Taoist techniques, but you will also be able to steadily improve your cultivation level by one level."
"Refining Qi can lead to marrow purification, marrow purification can lead to the transformation palace. From the beginning of the transformation palace, you can directly jump to the perfection of the transformation palace. Even half a step to the realm of golden elixir can be achieved through the Secret Realm of Leaving the Palace."
Qiu Changtian suddenly realized:
"I see, then this palace..."
"We cannot foresee the opening and closing period of the Li Palace." Xu Changqing said with a smile, "But according to Master, the next opening should be in the near future."
"The reason why everyone in the sect does not explain it to you is just because they are afraid that you will know that the secret realm of Li Palace can guarantee your promotion, so you will be tempted to slack off in your cultivation."
"It's just that since you have found out the truth, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Of course Qiu Changtian understood what he meant, so he nodded seriously and said:
"Senior brother, don't worry. I won't tell any of my junior fellow apprentices about this matter, not even junior sister Xu."
