Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 18 18. Practice in the second heaven and build the foundation!

“Junior Brother Lei, you have awakened the hidden dragon spirit body and completed the 12th level of Qi Refining. You are really only one step away from building the foundation.”

Wang Guiyuan’s expression became solemn: “But we must not be impatient, especially we must not underestimate the difficulties when the great realm is broken.”

 Lei Jun nodded slightly.

 In the practice of this world, the difficulty of breaking through such a great realm as from the first to the second heaven is often more difficult than all the previous practices, and the same is true for subsequent steps from the second to the third heaven, and so on.

 Because the barriers between great realms are customarily called natural chasms, they are also called spiritual disasters.

 Crossing the natural chasm and experiencing disasters.

　　If you can't get through, you may get caught in a trap and be seriously injured, or you may die or your life will disappear.

Of course, you can also stay in your current state without trying.

 Tianshi Mansion is a Taoist holy land with a superb inheritance and many talented disciples, so similar situations are rare.

There are many monks in small sects, small families and small clans who are stuck in the Qi refining stage all their lives.

 But then you will face the problem of aging and approaching lifespan.

The "Zhengfa Zhenyi Dao Sutra" written by Tianshi Mansion is extremely exquisite, and Lei Jun also has the hidden dragon spirit body. Under normal circumstances, Wang Guiyuan is not worried that his junior brother will not be able to pass the first natural chasm.

 He was mainly afraid that Lei Jun's eagerness for success would disturb his state of mind, which would affect the tribulation.

“Senior brother, don’t worry, I understand.” Lei Jun smiled.

Wang Guiyuan nodded: "That's good."

 After settling everything, he resumed his old business with peace of mind, serving as a Taoist boy for Elder Liu.

Lei Jun will continue to focus on his own practice at his own pace.

 Get up early and take a cup of Peiyuan juice to lay the foundation for the day.

 In morning classes and in the morning, I listened to Master Yuan Mobai’s teachings and scriptures.

 After lunch, take a qi elixir, light a calming incense, and silently breathe in and out to refine qi.

When practicing, separate a pair of warm-spirited jade pieces and place them against the palms of your hands. People nourish the jade, the jade warms the spirit, nourishes the qi, and the qi refines the person. If you cycle through one set, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

 At evening class, he summarized the questions he had learned during the day and then asked Yuan Mobai for advice.

 After the evening class, return to your residence, take a ladle of medicinal bath mother liquor and some auxiliary medicinal materials, put them into the bath in the hospital, and mix the spring water from the mountains to form a large pool of medicinal liquid.

Lei Jun sat in again, washed himself with medicinal bath, and continued to warm up and breathe out.

 At the end of the day’s practice, sleep peacefully and strengthen your foundation.

 Practice does not last long, and time flies by quickly.

 One night a month later.

Lei Jun, who was soaking in the bath, suddenly rose.

 It was not him who jumped out of the water on his own initiative.

Rather, it is like sitting on a solid flat ground while floating steadily on the water surface of the bath.

In Lei Jun's body, the originally surging true energy seemed to have turned from illusion into solidity, forming condensed magic power.

 It is like a large amount of gas, which has undergone transformation and condensation, turning into a wisp of liquid.

 It may seem weak, but it is far more condensed and flexible than the original Dapeng Qi.

Just a trace of mana is enough to defeat a large amount of Qi refining monks.

 This is from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Lei Jun smiled happily and walked out of the bath.

 Cultivation of magic power means a great realm of cultivation, and he successfully broke through it.

 From refining energy in the first heaven to building foundation in the second heaven!

 “I don’t feel that there is any danger...” Lei Jun was slightly surprised.

 As soon as the doubts arose in my mind, an idea flashed in my mind:

 Hunter spirit body…

 A true dragon leaps into the abyss and soars into the sky. Therefore, this initial natural chasm was a narrow escape for many people, but it could not prevent Qianlong from being born.

“No wonder there are legends about top geniuses practicing thousands of miles a day.”

Lei Jun looked at himself inwardly and felt quite emotional for a while:

I wonder what Tang Xiaotang’s immortal body looks like during cultivation?

 He shook his head to eliminate distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged again, and silently breathed out his luck.

Lei Jun could clearly feel that his own vitality had also become extremely strong.

 My life span has increased.

 Once the foundation is successfully built, the life span will be two hundred years.

Lei Jun started practicing Taoism late, and was introduced to Taoism by Xu Yuanzhen when he was eighteen years old.

 Fortunately, I got various opportunities to pursue good luck and avoid bad luck, practice seriously, and successfully build the foundation in less than two years, surpassing countless other sentient beings.

He is now nearly twenty years old. Compared with the two hundred years of life of the foundation-building monks, he seems to have a lot of time.

but…

“Practitioners in this world still have little life expectancy as their realm improves.” Lei Jun sighed: “Two hundred years is actually not much.”

 Because there is a very real problem before us.

 From refining Qi in the first heaven to building foundation in the second heaven, the life span increases from one hundred years to two hundred years.

However, from the foundation building of the second heaven to the realm of the altar of the third heaven, the lifespan limit does not increase.

 You have to break through to the fourth level of Tianyuan Talisman before your longevity will increase again.

Although the monks in the foundation building and altar realms have a life span of 200, which is significantly improved compared to the Qi Refining monks, they still face the same problems.

 The golden window period for Qi Refining monks to practice and improve is only around the age of twenty-five.

This period of rapid growth for a foundation-building monk reaches a peak of about fifty years old.

However, starting from the age of fifty, a foundation-building monk will also enter the prime of life, and his strength will remain at its peak, but the speed of improvement will slow down greatly.

From about one hundred years old onwards, foundation-building monks will enter a period of aging, just like Qi-refining monks when they are over fifty.

Not only will it be difficult to improve one's cultivation level, but one's energy and strength will even begin to decline.

For foundation-building monks over a hundred years old who want to go further, the hope is extremely slim. There have only been a few special cases throughout the ages, and the probability is much lower than one in a million.

 But there is a slim glimmer of hope after all.

 After about one hundred and fifty years old, the foundation-building monks will enter their twilight years, and there will be no hope for them anymore. Their decline and decline will accelerate rapidly, and their strength may even drop from a large realm to a small realm until the end of their lifespan.

The most uncomfortable part is that the monks at the third-level heaven altar realm are in the same situation as the second-level heaven foundation-building monks.

So if you want to continue to move forward on the road, monks must try their best to reach the fourth level of Tianyuan Talisman before the age of one hundred, in order to increase their longevity again.

 In the Tianshi Mansion, the dividing line between teaching disciples and conferring disciples is generally right between the third and fourth heavens.

 Taking into account the potential for further cultivation, it is best to break through to the fourth heaven within the golden window of fifty years old.

Sure enough, it fits the two words of foundation building, and it has just started... Lei Jun's joy when he made the breakthrough calmed down, and his mood returned to stability.

 Early the next morning, Lei Jun went to see his master Yuan Mobai as usual.

Yuan Mobai looked at him with a smile: "Compared to you successfully building the foundation, I am more happy that your current state of mind remains peaceful."

  Lei Jun: "My disciple is young and has little knowledge. I am just influenced by you and imitate others."

Yuan Mobai smiled and nodded: "Since your mood has returned to peace and nature, we can continue as usual."

 In the morning class and morning practice, we will explain Taoism and Taoism as usual.

 But when it came to afternoon and evening classes, Yuan Mobai adjusted the teaching plan.

 “You have successfully established the foundation, just continue to practice steadily without being impatient.”

 He ​​set up a altar offering incense table in the courtyard and said to Lei Jun: "Besides, as a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, it's time for you to start studying the talisman scriptures and learn how to make talismans."
