The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 18 The Path of Practice

The Su family, in the courtyard.

In the morning, the eastern morning glow begins.

But seeing the young man sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, breathing calmly, even though his brows and temples were slightly white, but his body was not wet.

He has handsome facial features and a quiet demeanor, with a bit of a sense of being out of the world.

Look at his light yellow clothes again, they are white after washing, but they have a special artistic conception, they are simple and unadorned.

After a while, I saw him open his eyes.

In the depths of his eyes, a ray of cold light flashed, like thunder in the night, passing by in an instant.

"According to the booklet given by Elder Song, my current progress in Taoism, not to mention the rapid progress, is also amazing, exceeding the speed that most cultivators should have."

Su Ting exhaled slowly, and it took a long time to let it go, then he smiled and praised secretly: "I, Su, is indeed a genius with extraordinary understanding."

According to the books given by Song Lao, in today's world, there are three realms for cultivators.

On the first level, one who has cultivated true energy can concentrate and calm the soul, reaching the point where the mind is peaceful and the temperament is refined.True Qi can travel through the whole body, soothe the meridians, eliminate all kinds of diseases, prolong life, and live a long life.

In the second level, the zhenqi is condensed. At this stage, it can be released from the body and used.For example, if the true energy is transmitted to the Five Elements Armor, this treasure can be displayed; if the true energy is poured into the talisman brush, then the magic talisman can be drawn;

In the third heaven, it is to condense the true meaning, so that the true energy can be attached and become mana.And at this point, all kinds of spells can be said to be able to call wind and rain, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they are no different from gods.

"According to the records above, Elder Song should be in the Second Heaven."

Su Ting secretly said: "And when I first became true qi, I was the first heaven, but I haven't accumulated enough to break through the second heaven."

In the second heaven, he will probably be able to display the thunder method, draw thunder talismans, and initially use the inheritance of Taoist Lord Lu Ya.

But now the first heaven is actually a mortal body, just a ray of true energy in the body, which can flow through the whole body, dredge the meridians, and drive the blood energy, so as to prolong life, live a long life, and calm the mind and calm the mind.

But if we really want to talk about it, the cultivators of the first heaven only accumulate their own personal background, but it is limited to this, but they have no fighting skills at all.

If you really want to fight, you are not as good as a strong and strong man, let alone a martial artist who has only practiced boxing and kicking for two days and has not yet started.

Thinking of martial arts, Su Ting couldn't help being a little silent.

Because it also records the changes in martial arts.

"Talks about cultivating immortals and practicing Dao are mostly legends, illusory, and hard to say whether they are true or false. However, people who practice martial arts are all over the world. Martial arts skills are indeed skills that can be seen. It only takes a few days to practice martial arts to see results. , so there are many martial arts practitioners in the world."

Su Ting was a little stunned, and said in his heart: "For a cultivator, even if he wants to practice, he can't enter the door. Even if he has obtained some low-level exercises, he can't practice for several years or even decades. , There are many such examples.”

This is also the source of doubts by Confucian scholars above the court.

The way of martial arts is true, and the way of immortality is false. The so-called legends of gods and demons are just fabricated by the predecessors, and the common people are ignorant.

In fact, such doubts are not without reason.

At the beginning of Taoism, it is difficult for practitioners to get started. They often fail to cultivate their true qi for three to five years, or even decades or even half their lives, and they may not be able to get started.

It is also true that people who practice martial arts can become stronger in a few days by exercising their physique.

……

"Martial arts are also divided into three levels."

"The first level is to move energy and blood, with strong fists and feet, which can be regarded as a beginner, no longer a layman who has a rough grasp of moves, and can be regarded as a master above the rivers and lakes."

"The second level is to condense the inner strength and burst out the strength. It can collapse mountains and rocks, break life, and destroy people's internal organs. It's just an understatement. It passes by without leaving any external injuries."

"The third level, known as the great master of martial arts, has brought his personal potential to the extreme. He can crack steles and rocks, pick chariots and horses, and can split tigers and wolves. He is invincible in all directions."

"But martial art is the way of man after all."

"Manpower is sometimes exhausted. Therefore, at this point, the limit of the human body has been fully excavated, which is also the limit of martial arts. It is impossible to go any further, and it is impossible to fight against the aging of the years."

Su Ting flipped through this book, and had a general conclusion about the division of martial arts.

The three heavens of cultivation, from the front, although cultivators have unpredictable and mysterious methods, can cast Gu, use talismans, and kill with curses, it is still not easy for them to beat martial arts practitioners in a frontal fight. of.

After all, within the three heavens, warriors are powerful and focus on fighting and killing, while those who practice Taoism focus on keeping in good health and accumulating.

"Manpower is exhausted sometimes, but the way of heaven is endless."

"The way of martial arts has an end, but the way of immortality still has a way."

"Above the third heaven, it is condensed into a yin god and becomes a master. It can be said to be extraordinary and refined."

"It's a pity that this book only records this step, and there are no more detailed records."

Su Ting put away the book, thinking of the master who invaded his sea of ​​consciousness.

That turned out to be a figure countless times taller than Song Lao Daoxing.

That is a person who has transcended the boundaries of the human body and can be called a human being.

It is a ray of Yin God that can invade other people's sea of ​​consciousness at will and obliterate their souls.

That is a person whose Taoism is so profound that even Song Lao can hardly imagine.

"It's no wonder that the dispersal of a ray of Yin God can make my sea of ​​consciousness grow stronger, my soul solidify, and my perception expand, which will benefit me infinitely."

Su Ting sighed: "This master who has cultivated into a Yin god is so powerful. If he hadn't read this book, it would be hard to imagine his mystery and depth... But, no matter how powerful you are, so what , haven’t been killed by someone from me, Su?”

He collected the books and stood up.

The common sense recorded in this book is indeed extremely important to him, and it can almost be said that it allows him to truly understand the system of this world.

At the very least, let him understand that before he cultivates into a yin god and a master, he should not act too recklessly in the world of mortals.

After all, in the first three heavens, the ability of people who practice martial arts, in terms of real strength, is not necessarily inferior to those who practice Taoism.

It's just that a cultivator is a cultivator after all, and he should not underestimate himself.

"There are countless legends about gods and ghosts, mysterious magic and so on throughout the ages. In addition, there are very few people in the world who show their magic, so they are extremely mysterious...and people dare not underestimate them."

"In fact, even if they are only in the early stage of practice, most of the cultivators can understand Fengshui, distinguish good and bad, and know good and evil. When they reach a slightly advanced level, they can already use magic spells, talisman formations, and even curses to kill. The law can end life and death.”

"These various means are mysterious and unpredictable, together with the legends of moving mountains and filling seas throughout the ages, they are enough to make the world fear them."

"Even if you are a martial artist, you have to respect ghosts and gods."

Thinking of this, Su Ting took out the five-element armor and put it in his hand.

The Five Elements Armor is a treasure, extremely mysterious. Even though the remaining mana of the Taoist from many years ago has been exhausted, as long as Su Ting cultivates to the second level of heaven and releases his true energy, he can initially use the Five Elements Armor.

But now, he only has access to true qi, so he can't use this treasure at all.

But above the books, there is another method.

It is to use the blood from the tip of the tongue to arouse a ray of blood, release the true energy in the body, and condense it into blood essence, so as to cast spells and magic weapons.

"This method has a mysterious origin and causes great damage..."

"Generally speaking, after the true energy is used and consumed, you only need to meditate to recover."

"However, if you use essence and blood to draw out the body, this ray of true energy will completely cut off the connection with itself."

"In fact, this method is to damage one's true qi and self-cultivation, so as to cast spells or magic weapons..."

"This kind of method seems to be quite secretive, and even if it is spread out, most of the people who practice it will not be willing to damage their own foundation."

"But since I have obtained this method, I don't have the time to waste time with that prince."

"Losing a ray of true qi, saving time, finishing the work earlier, and allowing me to practice with peace of mind, the time saved in the middle is enough for me, such as Su Ting, to condense three strands of true qi."
