Practicing in a place like Shaxing actually has advantages and disadvantages for Lou Xiaoyi.
The disadvantage is that the spiritual power is rare, which is the biggest disadvantage for monks at the level of foundation building. They cannot come into contact with other forms of spiritual power except heaven and earth spiritual power.
The advantage lies in being close to the stars, which allows his entire martial arts system to be at its best.
For monks who have basically met the conditions for Alchemy Cultivation and have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, their need for spiritual power is not urgent for the time being. Instead, they have some appeals in some mental aspects.
In terms of impacting the upper realm, this is the right place!
The journey of a monk is never a process that can be planned! Because you can't tell when God will open his eyes and give you a chance!
Under normal circumstances, when a monk's cultivation reaches the peak and he has his own understanding of his state of mind, he can roughly realize whether he is in a preparatory stage for forming an elixir.
This stage requires a lot of prerequisites. For example, Lou Xiaoyi reached the peak of his cultivation in the Peacock Feather for fifty years, and deeply reflected on his state of mind in the Fish Leaping Cliff, and then he began to realize that he had Came to this step.
What will the monks do next? Everyone has his own way of thinking, and there are thousands of people, and no one is the same. But one thing is that sitting at home and waiting for the pie to fall from the sky is the most unlikely way!
Therefore, most monks choose to go out to see, travel, fight, experience the world of mortals, and experience life and death... The meaning of this is to find the opportunity that belongs to you!
The way of heaven is fair to every monk. Everyone will have that opportunity when they reach this stage. The key is whether you can find it? Can it trigger a resonance in the soul? From this, you can clearly understand your own direction and work hard in this direction. In order to pursue a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.
Hai Chanweng's "Jin Dan Song": Refining the Qi to return to the true one, refining the Qi to form Ye Zichen.
"Wu Zhen Chapter" says: Tao generates Qi from nothingness, and then produces Yin and Yang from Qi.
Shi Zhenren's "Huanyuan Chapter" says: Qi is the destiny in form.
It follows that the true Qi was born before the heaven and the earth, and was found in nothingness. It was in a trance and dark, unable to see, hear, or fight. How could it be condensed into millet pearls?
Gai Sage uses reality to form emptiness, and exists to form nothingness. The two are in harmony with each other, and one thing is born. The so-called one is the innate Qi of the true unity of heaven and earth, condensed into a millet pearl.
"Shen Tongqi" says: The branches, stems, flowers and leaves, and the fruits are hanging down, and the roots are straightened without losing their originality.
"Wu Zhen Chapter" says: All kinds of extraordinary efforts are in vain, striving to resemble the true lead and the holy machine.
"Qi Mi Tu" says: Li Na Ji is the sun, is fire, is the heart, is the cinnabar, is the dragon, is the mercury; is the moon, is the water, is the kidney, is the lead, is the tiger, is the qi. .
"Jinbi Sutra" says: In the spring cave of creation, the Yang Qi is rising, the sundial reaches south, the five stars are connected with the beads, and the sun and the moon are combined.
Grandmaster Chunyang said: Spiritual Qi and blood belong to the three essentials, and the north, south, east and west belong to the same family.
Wait, almost every Taoist tradition has its own unique description of the golden elixir. Precisely because it is said too much, people are at a loss as to what to do!
Among them, the "Zi Sheng Jing" says it most directly: three inches below the navel is the lower Dantian, four inches in diameter, attached to the spine, between the two kidneys, green on the left and white on the right, yellow on the top and black on the bottom, and red in the center, called the sea. Its blood energy is also called Dazhong. It is said that the four directions of the human body are the most central. The central position is the Dantian, the Golden Embryo Divine Chamber.
Monks need resources to form elixirs, and for most people, this is also the goal they strive for; but people are different. If the strength reaches Lou Xiaoyi's level, there is no need to worry about resources, the sect will automatically let him go. All restrictions are either giving or borrowing. There is no limit on quantity or quality. No one will hold accountable those who fail to return the elixir after it is completed. In fact, it is support in disguise.
This is an inevitable strategy for every Taoist lineage to deal with their disciples. As long as you are good enough, you don’t need to jump into the sword. In a big sect, as long as you can rank in the top few hundred, you will have no worries about resources. In a small sect, as long as you Being able to squeeze into the rankings is the sect's strong resource allocation.
Resources are biased towards the best, and the best will then drive the sect after they achieve success, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
There is no shortage of resources in Lou Xiaoyi's Najie. It was provided to him by Yin Ye. Lou Xiaoyi was not willing to accept it at first, but Yin Ye quickly put aside his scruples and stated that these things were provided by Qian Xiufeng and he was the one who intervened. Part of the rewards for Swordfish Leap.
Lou Xiaoyi didn't really want to settle the score with Qian Xiufeng, and he didn't understand it. Instead, he lost his points; now that he was no longer a beginner, he wished he could convert every bit of hard work he put in into spiritual stones. , you are looking too high and far, as long as you have enough, how can you really count the value of each head under Yu Leap Cliff with your fingers?
Cultivation is so strange. When monks have no resources, they put all their hopes on resources; when resources are sufficient, they find that there are more and more important things, just like Taoist Wang Ding said.
If he is not in a hurry, this is not a matter of urgency!
It was precisely because he wanted to leave more time for himself that he sent himself to this inhospitable sand planet; he is nearly 150 years old this year, and as Yin Ye said, he is really not a wealthy person. gifted practitioner,
The so-called superior cultivation talents in the fifth ring can usually form an elixir before the age of 100, and he can't even get close to it. The average cultivation talents can also form an elixir around a hundred and fifty years old. As for those who are later, there is no need. It’s up to you whether it will be successful or not!
The good news is that his two friends Yanbo and Yanju are not much better than him, but what he can feel is that these two people have actually reached his current Danqian state decades ago. It's just that they haven't found their own opportunity. They went to Yuyue to watch the sword, and they didn't want to realize the possibility of their own opportunity from other people's battles.
After all calculations, he still has fifty years, which sounds like a lot, but it is actually the length of time in the Peacock Ling dimension; for most monks who are expected to form elixirs, there is probably such a period of several decades before they can leave. Go up, or be silent!
Lou Xiaoyi forced himself to this place, and never thought about changing the environment. For him, he would never find a place so close to the stars in the universe, where no one would disturb him, and where he could feel free and at ease!
He actually dug a deep sand pit for himself in front of the sand tower. The walls of the sand pit were also simply reinforced with moisture-proof and insect-proof structures so that he could lie down more comfortably even if he died.
I didn’t leave an epitaph, for fear of someone robbing my tomb! I didn’t want to prepare a bead to hold in my mouth, for fear of turning into a zombie after hundreds of years!
When Lou Xiaoyi did all this, it was as if he was digging a hole for others, without any disturbance in his heart. This is his true character!
