Gou on the road of longevity

Chapter 8 Theory of Comprehension

"How are the realms of cultivating immortals divided? I'm at a loss as to the qi training and foundation building periods mentioned by Mr. Pei just now. What are these? Is it the realm of cultivation?" Ye Mingqi asked in surprise.

According to Pei Changkun, different realms can bring practitioners supernatural powers.For example, if a mortal wishes for rain, he can only pray to God and worship Buddha, and give his hand to others.As for the cultivators, as long as they wave their hands, they can bring a rain.The mystery of it needs Ye Mingqi to slowly understand after stepping into the cultivation of immortals.

In addition to the supernatural ability, it can also bring about an increase in lifespan, which is what mortals call immortality.This is also the reason why so many people pursue immortality.

"Cultivating immortals is divided into five major realms: refining Qi, building foundations, forming alchemy, and Yuanying. At present, the highest realm of Ruo Shuizong is the Yuanying monk. And above Yuanying is the realm of transforming gods. This is not what Pei Changkun said. I understand. Specifically speaking, what is the difference between realms? To put it simply, heaven and earth are like a big furnace. If you integrate yourself into heaven and earth to cultivate, you have reached a realm that is invincible. The most obvious thing about the improvement of realm is that it brings longevity."

"The lifespan of ordinary mortals is about a hundred years old. It is very common to live to be more than 100 years old during the Qi training period. Generally speaking, the life span of the Qi training period is one hundred to two hundred years old. If people in the Qi refining stage have adventures, they can live up to [-] years old. However, these people are also rare. The blessings of immortal cultivators are profound, and their life span can be doubled when they break through to the foundation building stage. Two hundred years old is a rare and common thing. I heard rumors that if a cultivator breaks through to the alchemy stage, it is normal to live to five hundred years old. The highest one can live to a thousand years old. The alchemy stage is basically The highest level that ordinary people can reach, if there is no great luck, great opportunity, and great blessings, basically they can't go up."

"If you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, this kind of people are people with great luck in the cultivation world. In Ruo Shui Sect, there is a thousand-year-old Nascent Soul Immortal. As for the Transformation Stage, I have never heard of it. I don't know the exact lifespan."

"As far as lifespan is concerned, becoming an immortal has an inexplicable attraction. This is why the 'Token of Immortalization' must be very attractive to some big mortal families. Some forces have With the power and wealth in the world, there is an unspeakable pursuit of longevity. How many emperors pursue longevity but cannot obtain it, and end up in life, old age, sickness and death, and how many great achievements are gone with the wind. If you get the opportunity to cultivate, not only can you live forever, but you can also continue the family for a hundred years Incense. On the road to immortality, everyone is staring at immortality, but who knows how many betrayals, lies, wealth and lives are paved under the feet."

When talking about the old immortal Yuan Ying, Pei Changkun also took a look at Ruo Shuizong, and specially used the honorific title in order to cause unnecessary trouble.In the Nascent Soul stage, as long as the name of the Nascent Soul cultivator is mentioned within the scope, it will attract corresponding attention. Therefore, Pei Changkun only uses the old fairy of the Nascent Soul Stage to replace it.

Ye Mingqi is very envious of the old gods who have lived for thousands of years. If he also breaks through in Qi training, he can live for hundreds of years, so he can't help thinking about it.

Pei Changkun glanced at Ye Mingqi, seemed to remember something, and said earnestly, "Fortunately, you haven't practiced any exercises, otherwise your path of cultivation will be cut off."

Hearing this, Ye Mingqi's face turned pale with fright, and he muttered: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous, so dangerous..."

According to Pei Changkun, the Weak Water Sect represents the entrance requirements of many sects, that is, holding the "token of immortality" before entry, and entry-level people cannot practice any cultivation skills.

These two entry requirements are actually to see the "immortal fate" and "savvy" of the entry disciples.

Let's talk about the immortal fate first, the "token of becoming an immortal", it is the sign of whether the beginner disciple has the immortal fate.It is a kind of fairy fate to have the resources of cultivation; it is also a kind of fairy fate to have or know a master of immortality in the ancestors; it is a kind of fairy fate to kill in the sea of ​​blood.

Ye Mingqi was suddenly dumbfounded, and suddenly understood that cultivating immortals is not easy.One is the struggle of the family for many years to have the fairy fate; the other is to have the help of the nobles to have the fairy fate.The last one is that one will succeed and all will die.The three seem simple, but many ordinary people are often excluded.

Let's talk about understanding.What is savvy?Everyone understands things.However, if a person's comprehension is too poor, it will lead to a slower speed of cultivation.And those with strong comprehension can quickly practice exercises and quickly enter the alchemy stage by drawing inferences from one instance.

For the cultivation sect, the alchemy period is what determines the status of the sect in the cultivation world.Those with savvy will be given priority and focus on training; those without savvy will be trained as the sect's central logistics department and contribute their whole lives to the growth of the sect.

How to measure comprehension, the sect now has a standard process.The weak water sect requires the disciples who have started to practice not to practice any exercises.At that time, give a specified time to practice a skill to judge how enlightened this person is.

Speaking of this, Pei Changkun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the past, I got a copy of the Immortal Cultivation Technique due to fate, and I practiced it out of curiosity. However, when I followed up with the Entrance Sect, I was repeatedly rejected, which led to Life stops here, and the Dao cannot be seen."

"Why are those who have practiced the exercises not accepted?" asked a little surprised.

"Later, I inquired from many sources. It turned out that before a person cultivates, he is a blank sheet of paper. If he practices the exercises, he will improve the comprehension of other exercises when he practices again. As the saying goes, one can master all kinds of exercises. This is true. It is a challenge for the sect to test one's comprehension, and it is also an unnecessary trouble." Pei Changkun narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

"If you observe for a long time, you can see a person's understanding. Why don't you recruit these people?" Ye Mingqi suddenly thought that Pei Changkun would not be able to enter the sect in his life, and asked without surprise.

"First of all, the introductory Taoist classics just learned are the best way to see a person's understanding. Secondly, those who cultivate immortals can seize the good fortune of the world and integrate it into their own bodies. It is close to the Dao. In the end, the Dao is different and does not conspire with each other. Every exercise has its own Dao, but you can’t see it in the early stage. If you reach the alchemy stage and the Nascent Soul stage, it will have a great impact. For Zongmen , cultivating a foundation-building disciple doesn’t have much impact on the overall situation, so why waste so much effort?”

"I see. Thank you Mr. Pei for your clarification..." Ye Mingqi stood up, bowed deeply, and said gratefully.

Pei Changkun didn't say anything, looked at his grandson who was sleeping on his lap, stroked Pei Chunyi's hair, and said sincerely as if saying goodbye, "I don't know, do you have time to listen to a story?"

Hearing this, Ye Mingqi smiled slightly at Pei Changkun, and said respectfully: "I am extremely willing, this is my honor..."
