Chapter 3 Beginner Cultivation
The Daozong Yijing Courtyard is in front of the dilapidated gate. The rising sun is the new day, and the ordinary ones are like the scene of yesterday, and they are repeated over and over again.
However, something new happened today. Today is the day when Jiang Shan worshipped in the Daozong Yijing Academy. After many years, another newcomer came to the Yijing Academy!
"When entering our Daozong Yijing Academy, the red tape can be omitted, but you must remember the three laws of Daozong!"
"The first rule is to enter the Dao Sect, the sect is the family, and share honor and disgrace!"
"The second rule is to practice diligently, to be at peace with the world, to be strong and have great responsibility!"
"The third law is to do more good deeds, protect justice, and distinguish right from wrong!"
"Did you remember it? Jiangshan!" Qian Jizi said seriously to Jiangshan in front of him in the main entrance hall of the Chingyuan.
"Remember!" Jiang Shan also listened seriously, while the lively and active Xiaohua didn't make any sound, and listened seriously.
"Then you recite it again!" Qian Jizi was a little surprised. His other disciples memorized it several times before remembering it. Can Jiang Shan memorize it after listening it once?
"The three laws of the Dao Sect, the first laws, enter the Dao Sect, the sect is the family, and share honor and disgrace! The second laws, practice diligently..." Jiang Shan cared seriously.
Qian Jizi nodded. Jiang Shan could recite it word by word if he could listen to it. He was smart, but he didn't know what his talent for cultivation was. Xiao Hua, who was beside him, saw Jiang Shan like this, his eyes were shining and the corners of his mouth were raised. He thought to himself, this guy looked stupid, but he didn't expect to be so smart!
"Well, it's not bad! You can take this book of "The Book of Changes" and study it carefully. If you don't understand, you can ask Xiaohua. If you don't understand, you can ask me. As for life, just find Xiaohua." Qian Jizi said with a smile, took out a secret book from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shan, and continued to add, "Including Xiaohua, I have five disciples in total, you can rank sixth. Remember not to be as lazy as the few of them! Practice diligently!"
"Disciples must practice diligently!" Jiang Shan was so excited that he finally began to practice after taking the "Book of Changes".
"Master, I am not lazy!" Xiaohua was said to be lazy in front of Qian Jizi, and her face turned red. Although she was indeed a little lazy, she didn't want to be said in front of others, especially her junior brother whom she had just accepted, which was a bit of a shame for her senior sister.
"You, if you are willing to practice diligently, you will probably be better than the strongest genius of the other three academies!" Qian Jizi said, with a tone of regret.
After hearing this, Xiaohua bowed her head and said nothing. She really didn't practice much seriously. Jiang Shan, who was beside her, looked at Xiaohua in surprise. She didn't expect that Xiaohua had such a good talent for cultivation!
Jiang Shan himself just came to the Daozong Yijing Academy and had a rough understanding of Daozong under Xiaohua's introduction.
There are two major cultivators in the human world, one is the Taoist sect and the other is the Buddhist sect.
The Daozong is divided into Jianxian Academy, Yaowang Academy, the Institutional Academy, and the I Ching Academy! The four Daozong Academy has their own characteristics and different strengths. Among them, the Sword I Ching Academy has the strongest strength and the largest number of people. The Medicine King Academy ranks second, the Institutional Academy ranks third, and the I Ching Academy is the last!
According to the history of the Taoist sect, the Yijingyuan was once the strongest of the four Taoist sects a thousand years ago. However, because the practice of the Yijingyuan is obscure and difficult to understand and the progress of the practice is slow, it gradually declined in an era without genius, so it is still like this. If it weren't for the plaque of "The Yijingyuan" in front of this dilapidated courtyard, people who don't know would think that this place is just an ordinary dilapidated Taoist temple.
It is worth mentioning that in the current Dao Sect, except for the Yijing Academy, there are several people in the other three hospitals, and the Sword Immortal Academy has as many as thousands of people. The gap between this is not a small part!
The other three academies of the Dao Sect are full of talents and many geniuses. Tian Jizi actually said that Xiaohua's cultivation talent is not weaker than those geniuses. This shows how talented Xiaohua's cultivation talent is, it must be extraordinary!
"I'm going down the mountain to visit friends soon, as short as a few days, as long as a month. You two are practicing well on the mountain, and don't be lazy!" After Tian Jizi finished speaking, he did not drag on the mud and rose up like a crane, and floated down the mountain like a crane, looking so carefree.
"Wow! Master is so powerful!" Jiang Shan looked at Qian Jizi flying in the air and was gradually moving away, and he was envious. He seemed to have dreamed that he could fly in his dream, but if he could fly in reality, wouldn't that be very happy?
"Don't make a fuss. In the future, you can fly like a master!" Xiaohua saw Jiang Shan's envy, knew that Jiang Shan was eager, and immediately looked like an old and pedantic. One hand lays across her chest and the other hand on it. She stretched out her fingers to stroke her chin, and raised her lips to lightly, waiting for Jiang Shan to ask her questions.
"Xiaohua, why are you touching your chin? Is it itchy?" Jiang Shan said in confusion as he looked at Xiaohua's appearance. This little flower is not like his master, and has a long beard, so how could she touch her chin for no reason?
"You idiot! Your chin is itchy! Your whole family's chin is itchy!" Xiaohua closed her smile, glared at Jiang Shan, and turned around and walked into the hall.
"Uh..." Jiang Shan didn't know why Xiaohua suddenly changed her face. Did she say something wrong? Wasn't it because her chin was itchy? Jiang Shan thought, but he didn't have a clue.
"Hey! Xiaohua! Tell me how long can I fly after practicing? " Jiang Shan shook his head, no longer thinking so much, and hurriedly chased after him.
...
At night, the sky is full of stars and the moonlight is like a training. In the forest, the Yijingyuan has been surrounded by the chirping of crickets, and seems to have merged into the forest and become part of this quiet scene.
Jiang Shan lay on the wooden bed in his room, staring at the roof with mottled moonlight above, digesting the knowledge Xiaohua told him about practice today.
Cultivation, also known as cultivation, is a process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and improving one's own cultivation.
The first stage of practice is the Qi training period, divided into nine levels, which is the beginning of basic practice. Through exercises, we absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth into the body, understand the vital energy of heaven and earth, and control the baptism of one's own body. It belongs to the budding stage of practice.
The second stage of practice is the foundation building stage, divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. This state requires the foundation building pill to consolidate the foundation building and lay a solid foundation. The foundation building pill is refined by a pharmacist, and its main components are the inner pills of monsters and the essence of spiritual herbs. The foundation building pills with different attributes may randomly provide users with different attributes. When they reach the foundation building phase, they can use their vitality to evacuate for a short time.
The third stage of practice is the Golden Elixir stage, which is also divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. This state will cast golden elixir in the body to store vital energy, which will greatly increase the amount and quality of vital energy, and can fly for a long time.
The fourth stage of practice is the Nascent Soul stage, which is also divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. This state will transform the golden elixir into Nascent Soul, with strong Yuan power and you can fly at will.
The fifth stage of practice is the stage of transformation of the gods, which is also divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. In this state, the Nascent Soul is converted into the Yuanshen. When you reach this state, even if your body is damaged, you can take over the body and be reborn by the weak! However, this kind of body-taking will most likely cause unexpected changes, so no cultivator will make such a choice unless it is absolutely necessary.
The sixth stage of practice is the fusion stage, which is also divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. This state is that the Nascent Soul is compatible with the physical body, which is a fusion stage.
The seventh stage of practice is the tribulation period, which is also divided into four stages: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Great Perfection. This state requires the beginning of the heavenly tribulation, and there are great dangers in the heavenly tribulation. Many cultivators fall into the heavenly tribulation, but after the late stage of Great Perfection, they can ascend to the fairy world, become immortals, and obtain immortality!
As for becoming an immortal, there is another stage of practice...
Jiang Shan thought about practicing, but he had no intention of sleeping, so he sat up, lit the oil lamp on the table, and took out the "Book of Changes" given by Master Tianjizi today from his clothes.
According to Xiaohua, Jiang Shan found the breathing method in the "Book of Changes". At the beginning of his practice, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body through a special rhythmic breathing method, induce it, and absorbed it into the body.
At the beginning of this practice, we can understand the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through breathing. According to the different talents of each person’s cultivation, the time for understanding the vitality can be divided into lengths, and many people cannot even understand the spiritual energy.
According to Xiaohua, if you can realize spiritual energy within three days, it is the heaven-level cultivation talent. If you can realize spiritual energy within ten days, it is the earth-level cultivation talent. If you can realize spiritual energy within one month, it is the mortal-level cultivation talent.
In this Taoist sect, there are only a handful of people who can achieve the talent of heaven-level cultivation, most of which are the talent of earth-level and mortal-level cultivation, but Xiaohua said that she achieved it in two days of cultivation, which is also the talent of heaven-level cultivation! Hearing Xiaohua say this, Jiang Shan understood why Master Qian Jizi said that if Xiaohua worked hard to practice, she would be no less than the strongest genius in the other three academies.
"Can I be a talent for cultivating at the heaven level?" Jiang Shan thought of looking at the breathing method, and he also had a little desire for himself. He wrote down the content of the breathing method, turned off the oil lamp, returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and calmed down, and began to try to breathe according to the rhythm of the breathing method.
A rhythmic breathing sound rose and fell with Jiang Shan's chest cavity, sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. As the breathing method was running, Jiang Shan obviously felt a warm current entering the body from the tip of his nose, and his body gradually became very comfortable.
Time passes quickly in practice. When Jiang Shan opens his eyes again, it is almost dawn. After a night of practice, Jiang Shan only feels relaxed, but in this relaxation, he also feels that something is about to appear in his mind, just like something is coming from behind, just like something is near in front of him, but it is unpredictable!
"Maybe you can know by continuing to practice!" Jiang Shan thought of this, and closed his eyes and started practicing again! He didn't expect that he could practice by starting to practice breathing. What he is more interested in now is the inexplicable thing in his heart.
