Nine Tribulations True Immortal

Chapter 2 Kailing

At this time, Yun Zhongxi explained patiently: "Qin Yuxuan, although you have a spiritual aperture and meet the conditions to become an immortal cultivator, you have no cultivation at all. You are still just a mortal, not a real immortal cultivator. And that Mu Cheng is a real immortal cultivator at the third level of the primordial spirit stage."

"So, you have to reach at least one level of Yuanshen Stage cultivation to be able to impersonate him! As for the difference between the two levels of cultivation, we can say that when you came to Yun's home to practice, something went wrong in your practice, so your cultivation It just fell down, so that you can pass the test in a fool... But even if the cultivator loses his cultivation base, it is absolutely impossible for him to not even have a primordial spirit. Therefore, the opening of the spirit must be completed!"

"Then what should I do to open my spirit and become an immortal cultivator?" Qin Yuxuan became interested at this time, after all, immortal cultivators are people with great supernatural powers in his mind.

He never dreamed that he could join the ranks of immortal cultivators in this life.

Yun Zhongxi smiled slightly, and Fang began to tell him the principle of cultivating immortals.

She talked eloquently: "The way of cultivating immortals lies in essence, qi, essence, and spirit. The so-called cultivating immortals is the process of inhaling the aura from the heaven and earth into the body, and then transforming it into the unique spiritual power of an immortal cultivator."

"The biggest difference between a cultivator and a mortal is that a cultivator has a soul, while a mortal only has a soul. Breaking through from a mortal to a cultivator is a process of refining Qi and turning into a god.

It is necessary to combine the true qi in the body with one's own soul, combine the essence and soul into one, and give birth to a primordial spirit that can mobilize spiritual power... Therefore, the first stage of cultivating immortals is called the primordial spirit stage. "

"Once the primordial spirit is complete, you can mobilize your spiritual power, become a cultivator, and officially embark on the road of cultivating immortals. The magical powers of cultivators are unpredictable, and various magic weapon formations emerge in endlessly. Even the most powerful martial arts masters among mortals cannot match Even the lowest level of immortal cultivators contend..."

Listening to Yun Zhongxi's introduction, Qin Yuxuan also showed yearning expression.

According to this Miss Yun, the most critical step from a mortal to a cultivator is to condense the primordial spirit.If there is no correct technique and the guidance and assistance of immortal practitioners.Even if there is a spiritual aperture, half of the people will fail.Some casual cultivators even take more than half a year to find out a little way by themselves, but they are still far from leaving the spirit.

However, if there are correct exercises and the guidance of an experienced immortal cultivator, it only takes half a day to succeed.

At this time, Yun Zhongxi took out a slightly yellowed booklet, handed it to Qin Yuxuan and said, "This is a practice method called Qingyunjue, which can be applied to cultivation by immortals of all attributes. Carefully Take a look, and then follow the method explained above to condense the primordial spirit. I will also inject spiritual power into your body to help you open the spirit!"

Qin Yuxuan took the booklet, and saw that it was written in small seal characters with a rather ancient style——Qingyunjue three big characters.The glyph looks a bit gloomy, which makes people feel a little chilly.

He flipped through the first page and began to study carefully...

This booklet is actually only the first volume of Qingyunjue, which records the cultivation methods of the Yuanshen stage, and it is said that there is also a second volume, which records the exercises of the spiritual liquid stage.But now he definitely can't use it.

Now, he focused on reading the first chapter of Condensing Qi and Transforming God.

While reading, he involuntarily guided the weak true energy in his body from the meridians of the limbs and all over the body into the sea of ​​consciousness in the dantian according to the introduction of the exercises, and started the key step of condensing the primordial spirit...

With the slightest trace of true energy, it continuously goes to the sea of ​​consciousness.And the light green soul that was originally in the Sea of ​​Consciousness gradually merged with these genuine qi emitting a faint white light, and its light gradually changed from green to white...

However, halfway through the process, Qin Yuxuan felt a little weak. After all, he had never practiced, not even worldly martial arts, and his body was a little thin.

For others to condense their primordial spirit, it takes several months to prepare and adjust their body and energy to the peak state.He rushed the ducks to the shelves in a hurry, so naturally he soon encountered a bottleneck.

Yun Zhongxi has been observing the changes in Qin Yuxuan's body. Seeing that he was a little weak, she immediately stretched out a pair of white and tender jade hands, pressed his back, and poured her spiritual power into Qin Yuxuan's body to help him continue to condense The process of primordial spirit...

Finally, after three hours, Qin Yuxuan only felt a "Boom!" in his body...

He looked into his body, and saw that in the dark sea of ​​dantian consciousness, the light green soul finally absorbed and fused the vitality in his body, and transformed into a small gas-shaped white soul the size of a grain of rice.Although it is very small and the light it emits is even more dim, it is a genuine primordial spirit.

Refining Qi to transform spirits, condensing primordial spirit!This is the path to immortality that countless mortals have dreamed of. Qin Yuxuan finally took the first step on the road to immortality and became a real monk.

Ordinary people, including so-called martial arts masters, perceive the outside world through the five senses, namely sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.

In addition to the above-mentioned five senses being much sharper than ordinary people, the cultivators of immortals have also produced the divine consciousness that relies on the primordial spirit.

The induction of spiritual consciousness breaks through beyond the scope of the body, extending to the world outside the body of the cultivator, breaking through the limitation of the five senses that are easily blocked, and can directly perceive the external situation.

Qin Yuxuan is now sitting in the carriage, with his eyes closed, he can notice that within a radius of five feet, he can clearly feel any slight movement, even an ant crawling on the roof of the carriage.

He saw Yun Zhongxi who was behind him with her hands on her back. Now her pretty face was blushing, which showed that her spiritual power was exhausted.

Qin Yuxuan thought to himself, if he keeps practicing, his soul will become stronger and his cultivation will be higher and higher, and his consciousness should be able to perceive farther places.

At this time, Yun Zhongxi saw that Qin Yuxuan had already broken through, and Fang took her hands away from his back, and some tiny beads of sweat appeared on her cheeks.Obviously tired.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to help you reach the first level of Yuanshen stage!" Yun Zhongxi opened her beautiful eyes at this moment, and sighed softly: "But it's no wonder, you haven't even practiced ordinary martial arts, and you have no Taking the elixir to restore the true qi consumed during the opening of the spirit is naturally more difficult than the breakthrough of ordinary immortals."

She stood up slowly at this time, and said solemnly: "Qin Yuxuan, since you have become a cultivator now, I will also tell you some common sense about cultivating immortals, so that you will not accidentally reveal your secrets in your words. You know , Mu Cheng, as a collateral child of the Mu family, can be considered to be from a great cultivator family, and he is very clear about the common sense of cultivating immortals..."

After finishing speaking, she introduced some knowledge about the world of cultivating immortals to Qin Yuxuan one by one.

According to Yun Zhongxi, the reason why immortal cultivators have to work tirelessly and go through arduous cultivation is to hope to become immortals and pursue eternal life.

And to transform from a mortal to an immortal, one needs to go through nine calamities before ascending to the immortal world.

However, it is extremely difficult to pass through the Nine Tribulations smoothly.

The first catastrophe was the "coagulation of primordial spirit" that Qin Yuxuan had just experienced.This is the easiest calamity to survive among the nine calamities. After ordinary people pass through this calamity, they can be regarded as formally stepping into the ranks of cultivators from mortals.

After the first catastrophe, the immortal cultivator who produces the primordial spirit in his body is called the primordial spirit stage monk, and his life span can reach a hundred years.

The second catastrophe on the road to immortality is "spiritual energy into liquid". When the immortal cultivator reaches the Great Consummation of the primordial spirit stage, he will liquefy the spiritual energy in his body into spiritual liquid.This catastrophe is not life-threatening, but it is extremely difficult to survive.More than [-]% of a hundred immortal cultivators in the Yuanshen stage will not be able to survive this calamity.

If one is lucky enough to survive the second catastrophe, one can be called a monk in the liquid condensation period, with a lifespan of up to 200 years.At this time, the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body has been liquefied into spiritual liquid, and his mana is greatly increased. He can ride the clouds and fly with the sword.When ordinary people see it, they will respectfully and respectfully call it "Shangxian".

And the third calamity on the road to immortality is "pressing liquid into crystal".When the cultivator enters the peak of the liquid condensation period, the spiritual liquid in the body will be further compressed and solidified into spar.The magical powers are more powerful, and the lifespan has also increased to 500 years.

However, this catastrophe is more dangerous than the past two catastrophes.If the previous two calamities of "condensing primordial spirit" and "spiritual energy into liquid" were not life-threatening, the calamity of "pressing liquid into crystal" is very dangerous.

Because when the immortal cultivator hits the bottleneck, it is easy to go crazy and cause the meridians to be broken.Many monks in the liquid condensation period died at this time.

As for the monks who were unsuccessful in the attack, even if they survived by luck, most of them became useless due to the rupture of their meridians.

After passing through the third catastrophe, the cultivator officially became a cultivator in the crystal transformation period, and he was considered a high-level cultivator in the realm of cultivating immortals. Many people started to establish sects at this time.

As for the fourth calamity, it is the calamity of forming alchemy.When the monks in the crystallization stage cultivate to Dzogchen, they will start to condense the golden core in the body.Although this process is more dangerous than "pressing liquid into crystals", once it goes through smoothly, the life span of a cultivator will reach a thousand years.And it can really be called the overlord of one party.They are alchemy stage monks who are looked up to wherever they go.

And the fifth catastrophe is the catastrophe of "broken pill transforming into a baby".When a monk in the alchemy period reaches the state of Dzogchen, if he wants to make a breakthrough, he must first smash the golden elixir he has cultivated so hard, and then use the broken pieces to generate a baby-like clone in his body, commonly known as Yuanying.

This Nascent Soul can still survive after the body of the cultivator is destroyed, and can be reborn again.At this time, the lifespan of a cultivator can reach 2000 years.They will also become the legendary Nascent Soul stage monks.

As for the status of the sixth calamity to the ninth calamity, and the status of the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, even Yun Zhongxi didn't know, because from the records of her family's classics, it seemed that there had never been any more than Nascent Soul cultivators on the mainland of China. A person who has been cultivated for a long time.

In addition to the Yuanshen stage, which is subdivided into one to nine layers, the Spiritual Liquid Stage, Crystal Transformation Stage, Core Formation Stage, and Yuanying Stage are all divided into four sub-levels: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Dzogchen stage.

The way of cultivating immortals is divided into two cultivation directions: Qi refining and body refining.

Qi refining is the mainstream way of cultivating immortals, and what one cultivates is meridians and true qi.The vast majority of immortals choose to refine Qi. Its advantage is that it can drive spiritual power to use many magic weapons, fly with a sword, refine medicine pills, manipulate formations, and control spirit beasts... In short, On the road of cultivating immortality, if one can choose the path of refining qi, no immortal cultivator would choose to refine the body.

It's just that Qi refining requires a higher qualification of the spiritual aperture of the cultivator. The better the spiritual aperture, the faster the cultivation speed; but if the spiritual aperture is poor, the cultivation speed will be twice the result with half the effort. Maybe after ten days of cultivation, the progress is not as good as others The effect of one day's practice for a person with a good spiritual aperture.

As for body training, it is naturally a non-mainstream way of cultivating immortals. It mainly exercises muscles, bones, skin, flesh and internal organs.The body of a body-refining immortal cultivator is much harder than that of ordinary immortal cultivators, comparable to steel, and they are known as copper heads and iron arms.

However, body training has one of its biggest weaknesses, that is, it cannot break through the realm.Because cultivating from the primordial spirit stage to the spiritual liquid stage is to compress the true qi in the body from gas to liquid, and from true qi to spiritual liquid.But body refiners and immortal cultivators don't refine qi at all, so how could there be such a huge amount of true qi to condense into spiritual liquid?
Although there are also a few body-refining and immortal cultivators who have broken through to the spirit liquid stage, that is because of his strong talent, body and qi refinement at the same time.When breaking through the realm, it is still relying on the ability to refine qi.

Moreover, not only do body-refining and immortal cultivators have major problems when they break through to the realm, but they also cannot take advantage of it when they fight against Qi-refining and immortal cultivators in the later stage.

After all, no matter how hard your body is, can it still be tougher than other people's magic weapons?When someone cuts your neck with a treasured knife, is it your neck that is stiff or the other's knife?
Even if his physique is not as strong as yours, and he can't run as fast as you, but he can fly with a sword!Can you use two legs to run faster than others flying in the sky?

Therefore, due to the various disadvantages of body refiners, except for some immortal cultivators who know that their aptitude is too poor and there is no hope of breaking through the psychic liquid stage, almost no immortal cultivator actively chooses to refine their bodies. Use exercise as an auxiliary way to strengthen your body.

The two aptitudes most closely related to cultivators are spirit aperture and talent.

Among them, the spirit aperture is divided into nine levels.Qin Yuxuan had the worst talent for one spirit aperture, while Yun Zhongxi had the rare talent for five spirit apertures.One must know that in the thousands of miles of Xiushan City, for nearly a thousand years, the ancestor of the Yun family with the best aptitude was only with the aptitude of the Four Spirit Apertures.

As for talent, there is no standard of measurement. It is purely based on individual differences, and at most it has something to do with people's understanding.It is easier for people with high savvy to master magical powers.

In addition, the currency in the world of cultivating immortals is also different from that in the secular world. It does not use gold, silver and copper coins, but denominated in spirit stones.

This "spiritual stone", as the name suggests, is a stone that contains rich aura, and the aura contained in it is very important for cultivators.

It can not only be directly used for cultivators to meditate and practice, to increase their cultivation.It can also be used to deploy magic circles and inlay puppets.

In order to activate a magic circle, in addition to the need for the formation flag and disk, the spirit stone as the driving force is even more indispensable.High-quality spirit stones can not only ensure the success of the magic circle, but also greatly increase its power.

Moreover, if the cultivator casts those powerful spells and the spiritual power in his body is insufficient, he can directly crush the spirit stone in his hand and absorb the spiritual energy in it to replenish the spiritual power lost during the spellcasting.

In this way, it can support the immortal cultivator to perform supernormally, and forcibly cast some high-level spells that could not be cast originally.

It is precisely because the value of Lingshi is so high that all immortal cultivators are thirsty for it, so it has become a common currency in the world of cultivating immortals, and is divided into four categories according to quality: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and extreme grade.

According to the general practice, one hundred low-grade spirit stones are exchanged for one middle-grade spirit stone, one hundred middle-grade spirit stones are exchanged for one top-grade spirit stone, and one hundred top-grade spirit stones are exchanged for one top-grade spirit stone.

However, due to the excessive mining of spirit stones in the world of cultivating immortals, they were consumed too quickly.Now top-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones are hard to find.There aren't even many middle-grade spirit stones.Generally, the price of many spirit stones in shops is actually referring to low-grade spirit stones.

It was already late at night when Yun Zhongxi finished explaining the basic common sense in the world of cultivating immortals.At this time, the carriage had already arrived in front of an inn in another town.

"Get out of the car! Let's rest here tonight, and get up early tomorrow morning to go on our way! It is estimated that we will be able to reach Xiushan City in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow!" Yun Zhongxi raised her eyebrows.

Qin Yuxuan had no choice but to get out of the carriage, and then ate at the inn with Ah San and Ah Si.What surprised him was: Yun Zhongxi didn't eat with the three of them, but I don't know if she arranged to have a separate dinner, or if she had cultivated to the state where she could live without food.

After eating, Qin Yuxuan was escorted into a guest room by Ah San and Ah Si.

"Qin Yuxuan, you can rest here tonight! Don't try to escape! Otherwise, you'll just ask for trouble!" Ah Sanyi pointed to the small bed in the room.

Immediately, he waved at Ah Siyi and said, "Let's go! Let's go back to rest too. We're really tired after driving the carriage all day!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them closed the door with a "bang", and soon the sound of their footsteps and talking downstairs could be heard outside the door.

Qin Yuxuan's five senses were much sharper than before he opened his spirit, and he immediately heard Ah Si's voice: "Ah San, do you think this kid can really be trusted? He won't run away secretly or expose this matter to others in the future, right?"

At this moment, Ah San disdainfully said: "Si, what are you worried about? With the intelligence of the eldest lady, how could you not have thought of this? As early as when he was enlightened, the eldest lady planted a demon mark in his body. As long as If Qin Yuxuan dares to betray the eldest lady and break the promise he made to the eldest lady, the imprint of the demon will immediately break out, and he will immediately bleed to death from all seven orifices, and the effect will be the same as the oath of the demon. Do you think we should worry about it?"

At this time, Ah Si suddenly realized: "I mean, how can the eldest lady be so reassuring of him that she doesn't ask us to be on duty, looking at this kid..."

The footsteps of the two gradually faded away, but Qin Yuxuan was sweating profusely on his back.To be honest, he was really thinking about whether to run away, after all, following Yun Zhongxi back to Yun's house in Xiushan City was too risky.It is not so easy for a civet cat to replace the prince.But hearing what Ah San and Ah Si said, he had no choice but to give up this idea immediately.

"It's no wonder Yun Zhongxi is so relieved of me. I dare say that I have planted a restriction on me..." Qin Yuxuan smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that the three and four spoke in such a loud voice just now, and they deliberately let me hear you. I don't want to mess around, so as not to trigger the ban and die, and ruin their event!"

Since he couldn't escape, Qin Yuxuan let go of those distracting thoughts, and prepared to pretend to be Mu Cheng with peace of mind.At this moment, he picked up the information about Mu Cheng that Ah San had given him, and began to look carefully.

After looking at it for half an hour, he looked at the hourglass on the table and found that it was midnight, so Fang yawned and put down the booklet.

Qin Yuxuan touched the black ring on his right ring finger, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that my fate has always been so upside down..."

After sighing lightly, he said to himself again: "However, being able to step into the realm of cultivating immortals is an opportunity, and it may make it easier for me to find my father and mother..."

In fact, he is not Qin Yongan's son, but his adopted son, and his parents have other people.

However, Qin Yuxuan didn't know their names, he only knew that his father's surname was also Qin.

In his childhood memory, he seemed to be living in a mountain village.His father is a handsome scholar who teaches the children in the village. His mother is a beautiful young woman who mainly does embroidery work. His parents are very loving and like him very much. They teach him to read, write and paint whenever they have time. People live happily.

But when he was eight years old, his parents suddenly and hastily took him to Qinghe Town, hundreds of miles away, and handed him over to Qin Yongan of the Qin Family Medical Center, asking him to worship Qin Yongan as his adoptive father and learn from him. medicine.

Then, his parents left in a hurry, never to be seen again.And this black ring was given to him by his mother before leaving, asking him to keep it carefully.

Over the years, he has also studied this ring to see if he could find any clues about his own life experience or the whereabouts of his parents, but in the end, all of them failed without exception.All the jewelry store owners who have seen this ring said that it is just an ordinary black iron ring, and it can only be sold in the market for fifty copper coins.

But Qin Yuxuan firmly didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the ring that his mother asked him to keep close to him before leaving, so as not to lose it, would be just an ordinary thing.He felt that he had not been able to research the secret of this ring.

Although no matter how you look at it, this is an extremely ordinary black iron ring, but every day before going to sleep, he touches it and looks at it for a while, hoping that one day he will have a flash of inspiration and suddenly discover something.

"Today, I became an immortal cultivator like a dream, with primordial spirit and spiritual power... I don't know, if I pour spiritual power into this ring, what will happen..." Qin Yuxuan said to himself road.

At this moment, he picked up the black ring, and poured spiritual power into it...
