On earth, in the electronic age, a piece of material is actually just a chip made from soil, sand and gravel. Why is it so valuable?
Because of construction, because of design, because of coding.
A living body, or "human", in its essence, is nothing more than a piece of material derived from soil, sand and gravel. Then, because of a special encoding, it has the ability to passively and actively exchange energy and matter with the outside world.
It is the so-called life or vitality.
From this perspective, what is the essence of old age, illness, and death?
It is the internal environment of a living body. In the process of exchanging with the outside world, redundant data is continuously generated, inferior factors are continuously accumulated, and then the entire internal environment becomes corrupted.
Then the coding of life also continuously produces bugs, large and small, in the process, which makes the assembly of life gradually run smoothly and various warnings pop up, until finally it cannot run at all.
So, from the same perspective, what is the essence of spiritual practice?
It is to improve the exchange of energy and matter with the outside world bit by bit, and then to improve and enhance the internal environment of the living body bit by bit, resulting in the life code running and gestating in this environment becoming more accurate and richer in content.
In form, it is more streamlined and smoother.
All in all, it is moving towards perfection.
But in fact, from a logical chain point of view, practice is to directly change the environment, and then indirectly change the code!
As for drugs, drugs can act on changing the environment, but they can also directly act on changing the code!
From this perspective, medicine is even a more direct means of changing and improving the living body than spiritual practice!
On the contrary, spiritual practice has become a "heretic".
Therefore, in the ancient Chinese Taoist canon on earth, there is something called "Waitan".
In this system, they believe that people do not need to practice, practice, practice, become immortals, practice Taoism or any other messy things. As long as they take the appropriate elixir, or [bait], they can reach heaven in one step and become an immortal directly!
Does this theory pass the test?
Pass.
At least for Xu Guangling, it passed the test.
Therefore, when he was still on earth in his first life, even though Xu Guangling had pushed the field of [medicine] to the mass level, he still continued to carry out theoretical and practical research on this field.
Deduction and deepening.
But in the end, in the great practice system he established, practice still belongs to the "inside", while various methods such as "acupuncture" and "medicine" belong to the "external".
Why?
Because [medicine] has one of the most deadly aspects.
No, not one, but two!
First, it has an upper limit.
When the body enters the Taoist level, any medicine that acts on the body loses its effectiveness!
When the three fundamental apertures, namely, the life aperture, the consciousness aperture, and the heaven and earth aperture, are all achieved, and enter the great heavenly realm in this world's practice system, any medicine that acts on the level of consciousness will lose its effectiveness!
In other words, although medicine is good, it has an upper limit.
After reaching the upper limit, no matter how good the magic medicine is, it becomes worthless.
This one.
Second, good magic medicine must be made by a practitioner of a high level, for example, with the assistance of clairvoyance, etc. However, this practitioner himself may not be able to use such medicine anymore.
In other words, most monks' medicines cannot be used for themselves, but can only be used for others.
For example, it can be given to disciples or disciples, or it can be given to friends and respected teachers.
How can the combination of the first and the second make it possible for [medicine] to be included in the great practice system?
It can only belong to "outside"!
But even though it is external, it is still useful and even extremely effective in assisting the cultivation of people below the Great Heaven level.
As for Xu Guangling's goals and expectations for the field of [Medicine], after reaching the "entry" level of "Business" at the beginning, the new goal has become, just like what the predecessors in the ancient Chinese Taoist collection on earth imagined.
Like, if you take one pill, you can reach the sky in one step!
Ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation are directly promoted to the heaven level and the great heaven level!
This is certainly a big goal.
Then, he broke it down into countless small targets.
Take one pill and the essence will be condensed into a great achievement.
For now, this is already √.
Take one pill and go directly from the Condensing Yuan Realm to the Profound Entrance Realm.
This is the same√.
Take one pill and go directly from the Xuan Guan realm to the realm of enlightenment.
This is still √!
With one pill, you can transform from a completely ordinary person to a great success in condensation, profound success, and enlightenment.
this……
This is a bit difficult.
Not to mention that it has been achieved in practice, it is achieved in theory, and Xu Guangling has not yet deduced that theory.
The main reason is that the enlightenment realm is too complicated.
Even for him now, it's still extremely complicated.
In other words, the realm is still not high, the level is still not enough, and the level is still not good!
The book "The Long Journey to Awakening" that Xu Guangling read in the sect before was not the same thing, but for Xu Guangling's research, the "Awakening Realm" can still be worthy of the word "long".
And his current research focuses on taking one pill and directly entering the early stage of enlightenment, that is to say, preliminary enlightenment!
The current progress is almost 60%.
The goal can basically be achieved, but the means are still lacking and there are too many redundancies.
Not one pill, but many pills or groups of pills!
It doesn’t happen overnight, but it takes at least several months!
It is not for ordinary people, but for a practitioner who knows what cultivation is about and can start practicing it!
That's a far cry.
It completely fails to reach the real passing line drawn by Xu Guangling.
Therefore, it still needs to be studied and deduced.
But if you want to improve the medicine, the real work is not inside the medicine, but outside the medicine, that is, further research and deduction of relevant levels of practice, and then deeper into the nature of creation.
Therefore, if you ask Xu Guangling, what is his current goal of practice?
It is not the true heavenly level that enters this world from the [quasi-heavenly level].
Now is far from the time!
Instead, he lowered his head and dug into the beginning of practice again!
Therefore, if you ask, "When did Ye Xiaoye advance to the True First Realm?"
It was when Xu Guangling developed such a pill that could help ordinary people directly enter the state of awakening!
Why enter the enlightenment state instead of the true state?
Because the latter is too difficult!
That is to say, the enlightenment state mentioned earlier is too long!
Xu Guangling needs to "advance to the True Realm" first, and then return to Zong to recharge, which will be more conducive to achieving this goal!
Moreover, Lingxiao Sect is one of the nine supreme immortal sects in the world. Wouldn't it be stupid not to make full use of such a good resource?
The study of medicine is "external" and "external", and the deduction of spiritual practice is "inner" and "inner".
From this perspective, medicine is a display meter and a progress meter.
The previous "Chaoshen Incense" and the current incense that has no name are all Xu Guangling's radiation from the field of practice to the field of medicine, and also the radiation and bonus from the great master to the great master.
But in fact, these two fragrances are just a small test.
What he was really researching at this stage was the "low-level" drugs that acted on Old Man Yun.
The screen switches back.
At this moment, there are two people in the field.
Xu Guangling looked relaxed and relaxed, like a real outing man.
Actually it's pretty much the same.
Shi Jiuyang's eyes were leisurely and his mind was leisurely.
He looked at Xu Guangling as if he were looking at the grill, and said in the same leisurely tone: "Guangling, I will name this fragrant medicine 'Tongyou', Tongyou Fragrance, is that okay?"
After saying this, he followed up with an explanation, as if vowing to get the name of this fragrant medicine:
"Connecting to the secluded place, leading to the secluded place of human heart and consciousness, leading to the plank road of true unity and prosperity."
"Guangling, is that okay?"
"Senior, you seem to care a lot?" Xu Guangling asked with a smile.
"Guangling, if you knew what I had gone through in the past ten days when my mind was immersed in consciousness, you would know why I care so much."
Shi Jiuyang said seriously and sincerely, as if Party B was explaining to Party A, or like a student applying to the teacher, "Guangling, I am the first user and recipient of this incense, right?"
"Yes."
Xu Guangling nodded, "This incense came out more than ten days ago. Ten days ago, this incense did not exist in the world. A moment ago, this incense did not have a name."
"At this moment, it's just as you said, brother."
"It's a fragrance called 'Tongyouxiang'."
Shi Jiuyang nodded silently, and then he even did something Xu Guangling didn't expect.
That is, he once again bowed to Xu Guangling in an upright manner.
Big gift.
Xu Guangling did not avoid the previous salute and accepted it calmly.
To guide him from the true state to the state of prosperity and decay, it is not too much to accept a courtesy from him.
But at this moment, Xu Guangling dodged away.
"It's just a name for a fragrant medicine. Brother, why is it like this? I should thank you." Xu Guangling said, "I'm not as talented as my brother. If I named it myself, I might just call it it.
…”
"Guangling, please shut up!"
"You said it yourself, it's called 'Tongyouxiang'!"
After saying this, Shi Jiuyang explained in a faint tone: "Guangling, you are both a teacher and a friend to me, and this fragrance to me is also a calamity and a fate."
"In a certain life, you have a lot of experiences."
"Some have been sealed in the bottom of my heart; some have been forgotten in the years; some have always been with this body and mind but have never been truly recognized."
"And the past ten days, for a certain person, were not ten days, but ten years, decades, or even a hundred years."
Shi Jiuyang said calmly and slowly:
"It is this fragrance that leads to seclusion that makes someone walk through it again. Those things that have been passed through have once been noisy, and then one by one they return to the quiet years."
Shi Jiuyang's tone at this moment, although light, was extremely emotional.
That kind of extreme restraint, that kind of unscrupulous exposure at the same time, feeling the various sediments permeating it, even Xu Guangling was silent for a while.
He respects time.
He respects everything that a life has gained and lost over the years.
