In practice, after the Qi Condensation state is the Pulse Opening state.
The Qi Condensation Realm is the gestation and transformation of Qi and blood in the body. It is actually just a preparation. Strictly speaking, it has not really "started" yet.
Just like a person who is going on a long journey, he is just preparing supplies.
No matter how well-prepared it is, it still can’t be considered a formal start, right?
The official start should be counted from the moment you walk out of the door with the package. In terms of practice, it means that you have achieved great success in condensing Qi, breaking through the threshold, and crashing into the portal of Tongmai.
In the Lanshui Sect's sect secret records, the seniors recorded discussions among the monks in ancient times as to whether the Qi Condensation Realm was considered a "monk" or not.
There is actually no standard answer.
Nowadays, there are actually two sets of standards prevailing in the spiritual world.
The first set of standards is that among the three major levels of the human class, the Qi Condensation Realm is the official first level.
The second set of standards is that for sects such as Lanshui Sect, disciples generally only enter the Tongmai realm before they are officially listed and further hold positions within the sect.
And even among the small families below, most of them have people who have reached the Tongmai realm before they can become their own family within the family.
Even if you are from a side family, you can still be promoted to the main family.
But in fact, no matter how you say it, entering the realm of Tongmai is a sign worth mentioning.
Many families have a big banquet when their children enter the Tongmai realm.
Even in a place like Lanshui Sect, when a disciple such as an elder or deacon is promoted to Tongmai, they will often invite some close friends from the sect to gather together to have fun, and by the way, they will also inform the outside world that my family
Baby, my pulse is clear.
It has the meaning of "chéngrén etiquette" for secular people.
Secular people "adult" at fourteen, sixteen, eighteen or twenty, but for cultivators, their adulthood is when they enter the Tongmai channel.
Before the meridians are opened, it is generally forbidden to have sex between men and women.
If any cultivator gets married before entering the Tongmai, it can only mean one thing, that is, neither he nor his elders have any intention of entering the Tongmai.
It can also be said that I have given up on practicing.
Even if one comes from a cultivating family, this family, or rather this family, will only be treated as an ordinary family in the future.
Just like Zhuang Mingtang.
His father is a typical "unworthy son".
However, they are considered direct descendants of the banker, and their status is arranged according to the "five generations", that is, the grandfather cannot look upon the father, the father cannot look upon the son, the son cannot look upon the grandson, and the grandson cannot look upon the great-grandson. Even if he only has the great-grandson, this family
Only then will they completely fall out of the direct lineage and become a branch lineage and a side family.
The environment can be said to be quite relaxed.
And I have said so much just to illustrate one thing, that is, the Tongmai Realm is an important level with milestone significance in all families, sects and even the cultivators themselves.
It is roughly similar to Xu Guangling's previous life as an ancient Chinese scholar who passed the Jinshi examination.
Jinshi is not yet an official, but will soon become one.
After the Qi is condensed and before the meridians are opened, there is a small "blank" period, and Xiao Xiuer is currently in this blank period.
Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao sat quietly by the bed, waiting.
They actually don't know what they are waiting for.
Logically speaking, the achievement of Xiao Xiuer's Qi Condensation Powder has completely exceeded their imagination. Now, even if Xiao Xiuer has arrived at the Tongmai Realm, next, she will need the cooperation of the Tongmai Realm's secret method, right?
Xiao Xiuer doesn’t know anything yet!
The truth is this, but their hearts are still beating uncontrollably.
Just because Xiao Xiuer is still sleeping!
If she slept normally, she would sleep in the afternoon and wake up in the evening, and then sleep again at night at most.
But now, it was already late at night, but she still fell into a deep sleep without any sign of waking up.
Are there any barriers to the practice of Tongmai Realm?
If you ask Nan Pingxiu this question, she will say yes; if you ask Shi Shao, she will say yes.
Ask the elders and family heads of the bankers in Qingshui City, they will say, yes, of course there is!
Ask Zhuang Mingtang, Zhuang Mingxuan's grandfather, Zhuang Zhiqing, and he will stare in disbelief. Do you have to ask this question? Isn't this obvious? Are you a fool?
Even if you ask Xu Yishan, he will probably think about it for a while and then reply, yes.
There should be!
Why?
Just because no one can go from entering the Tongmai to achieving Tongmai in one go, they must go through a long-term, water-milling process.
A little bit of communication today, and a little bit more tomorrow.
Day after day, year after year, I don’t know how many years passed, maybe more than twenty years, maybe more than thirty years, more probably more than forty or fifty years, and then, I finally achieved great success.
The success of unblocking the meridians does not mean that all the meridians in the body are opened, but that the qi and blood are so strong that the first key point is finally opened!
As a disciple of the Heaven Rank, Xu Yishan spent fifty-six years on this journey!
Nan Ping Xiu spent twenty-four years and Shi Shao spent twenty-nine years.
This short period of time, which can range from 20 to 30 years to 50 to 60 years, is a kind of training and even suffering for anyone. Many practitioners need to face worldly affairs and various things, including starting a family, etc.
, and even those who practice wholeheartedly have no idea when they will be able to unlock the secret.
The time span is too long!
Too long time also means that the body, mind, mind, and will are all changing.
You may not realize it in three to five years, but if you look back every ten years or twenty years, you will see that you are already very different from what you were before.
And these various things can actually be regarded as "levels".
But when you stand at a certain height and look at the practice of Tongmai Realm, in fact, the barriers do not exist.
What is Tongmai?
It's just in the flow of Qi.
But the problem is that this vein is a channel, not a pipeline.
How to put it? In terms of a pipe, it is like a chimney. Smoke enters from the bottom and comes out from the top. The total amount of smoke remains unchanged during this process. However, in terms of a channel, it is the same chimney, but there is water in the chimney. When
After the smoke enters this channel, it will be absorbed by the water.
You must have a large amount of smoke keep entering, allowing the water to absorb it, until it can no longer absorb it, and then there will be smoke coming out from the other end of the chimney.
That means this channel has been opened.
The chimneys in the bodies of different cultivators are roughly the same.
But the "water" in the chimney is completely different, and there are great differences between different practitioners! This is actually part of the manifestation of the "talent" in practice.
The so-called talent can be found in the Qi Condensation Realm, and it can also be found in the Tongmai Realm.
It will permeate the entire human and earth-level practice.
After taking Ningqi Powder, Xiao Xiuer fell asleep for many days.
In fact, if it were just Ningqi Powder, Xiao Xiuer would not be allowed to sleep for so many days, and she would sleep for so many days at once.
The real reason is the "Small Five Elements Internal Refining True Shape Diagram".
Dharma + Condensing Qi Powder, the first-class Dharma in the world, plus the most likely first-class spiritual creature (low level) in the world, the two combined to allow Xiao Xiuer's body to enter a certain state of creation.
.
In his previous life, Xu Guangling did not have this condition, the two old men did not have it, Shen Xin did not have it, and Jun Changan did not have it.
With their level of knowledge, Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao could not imagine what Xiao Xiu'er was going through.
There are no bells and drums, no hourglasses.
In this world, there are methods of timing in the secular world, and there are several different methods, but for practitioners, they are not necessary.
Any monk above the Tongmai realm can clearly locate any time period in a day.
From today to tomorrow, at the junction of the two days, Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao both looked tense, looking at Xiao Xiu'er sleeping soundly on the bed with obvious abnormal concern.
However.
Nothing unusual!
The two of them didn't know whether to say they were disappointed or whether they thought this was normal. After looking at each other, they continued to wait quietly.
Time passed little by little.
As the whole night passed, a faint light began to shine through the windows.
Shi Shao stood up and was about to say goodbye to Nan Pingxiu. She was going to do morning exercises and then deal with sect affairs. Judging from the situation in the past few days, she would come back at noon.
But just after she stood up, she suddenly froze.
Nan Pingxiu was also stunned.
The next moment, both of them suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xiao Xiu'er on the bed.
Xiao Xiu'er was still sleeping quietly.
But the "Jingjing" at this time is completely different from the Jingjing before!
At the moment when Shi Shao stood up, Xiao Xiu'er's continuous snoring suddenly stopped!
The two of them were in a state of confusion when Xiao Xiuer lowered her right hand to the side of the bed and scratched it with her five fingers, as if trying to catch something.
Both Nan Pingxiu and Shi Shao's eyes instantly moved here, and then, their faces showed an indescribable expression.
Generally speaking, there was too much shock, shock, and disbelief mixed in there.
