For monks with better talents and better inheritance, most of the time, it is actually not difficult.
It's really not difficult!
Because if you have good talent and good inheritance, the progress of practice will be relatively fast. If a person can clearly feel the [progress bar], it is actually easier to ignore the hard work, boring and other things in the process.
, and looking forward to the result wholeheartedly.
In this way, the regular mentality of the practitioner will be better, and then they will complement each other and make the progress of practice faster!
Just like the uninitiated disciples in the Lingxiao Lower Court of Lingxiao Sect, they are generally children in their teens or even under ten years old. Then, from the beginning of practice to the completion of the Condensation of Yuan and entering the entrance, it takes less than a year.
It was only one or two or three years ago, but it took more than three years. For the Lingxiao Sect, it was considered a relatively "backward" disciple.
But outside, how long does it take for a monk to start practicing and achieve the goal of condensing energy?
The answer is, many people need a lifetime!
Even in the end of a lifetime, it will be difficult to achieve great success! The middle stage of condensation is an achievement worth being proud of!
The gap is too big!
So, there really is no comparison!
Assuming that these monks outside know the cultivation conditions of the inner disciples of the Nine Immortal Sects, how many of them can maintain inner peace?
【Compare】
It is an obstacle to spiritual practice, and it is a very big obstacle.
As soon as there is comparison, you will feel superior and inferior. If you are higher than the other person, you will have emotions such as arrogance and arrogance in your heart. If you are lower than the other person, you will have feelings of inferiority, depression and even envy and jealousy. Even if you are similar to the other person, you may still have some inexplicable emotions!
For example, why are you similar to me?
You are not as talented as me, you are not as hardworking as me, you are not as good as me, etc.
And all these emotions are harmful to spiritual practice most of the time!
In other matters, whether it is pride, envy, jealousy, etc., it is actually possible to breed positive behaviors and create a kind of motivation for oneself.
But that’s not the case with spiritual practice!
Cultivation, as for the main tone of mental requirements, is always "calm". At most, it is occasionally embellished with some happiness, sadness, etc. If it is embellished a little too much, it needs to be adjusted, otherwise it will ruin the practice.
But in this world, how can there be no ups and downs?
At this point, there is no difference between cultivators and ordinary people. In fact, because cultivators have relatively sharper feelings than ordinary people, they will amplify the ups and downs of their experiences several times or even dozens of times!
Even though he was born in the Wan Yao Sect and was born in the direct lineage, Shi Jiuyang's journey was by no means smooth.
These days, while telling Xu Guangling, Shi Zhenyi, oh, should be called Shi Rongku now. When Shi Rongku was telling his own story, he told Xu Guangling quite attentively about his journey from the Ning Yuan realm to
Various situations from the Xuan Guan realm to the enlightenment realm and then to the True One realm, especially the various changes in the mind.
Those comparisons.
Those who promised themselves.
Thousands of feelings, all kinds of tastes.
Many things happened a long time ago, but at this moment, during Shi Jiuyang's eloquent conversation, everything seemed to have happened yesterday, and all the details were so new.
Shi Jiuyang was talking, as if he wanted to sort out his entire past in this way.
But Xu Guangling also heard that in many of His Excellency's important narrations, Shi Rongku expressed gratitude to him or repaid him in this way.
Xu Guangling knew about it and appreciated it, so he really listened attentively.
Every evening, he transformed into a loyal and quiet listener. In the process of listening, sometimes he also shared some of his experiences and feelings to confirm with Shi Jiuyang.
During this verification process, Shi Jiuyang gradually forgot that he was only facing a junior.
If before, Shi Jiuyang intended to have a "long-lasting friendship" with Xu Guangling, then now, slowly, there is no such thing as a long-lasting friendship, they are just close friends!
And they are the kind of lifelong friends!
And such a feeling and tacit understanding make both parties happy.
Xu Guangling lived up to this period of "high mountains and flowing water". After a sudden flash of inspiration, he developed Bai Xuexiang beyond the standard. With this "overclocking", he continued to make adjustments to Bai Xuexiang in the next few days.
, making its effect more in line with what he wants.
Shi Jiuyang was the recipient of the entire process, and could also be said to be the only true recipient of this incense.
Bai Xuexiang does not adjust or guide consciousness, etc., that is a matter of Tongyouxiang. The effect of Bai Xuexiang is only to cross and penetrate the "three realms", in the [body], [mind (consciousness)] and the external [spiritual energy]
A stable triangle loop is established between them.
When you smell the fragrance, your consciousness is "falling snow".
The "snow melting" in consciousness draws the spiritual energy from the outside world to penetrate and nourish the entire body and mind.
Every night, after Shi Jiuyang finished telling his story, Xu Guangling lit a stick of incense, and the two of them fell into silence after that.
In the silence, the effect of the white snow incense slowly comes into play.
One penetration per night.
Bai Xuexiang does not change consciousness, it only provides a better environment for the body and mind. In this environment where every night, the physical and mental conditions will be better than yesterday, Shi Jiuyang's early stage of prosperity and decline at an incredible speed
, moving forward!
Under normal circumstances, it would take Shi Jiuyang several years or even decades to slowly pass this stage.
Like an old cow chewing its cud.
Like a tiger slowly licking its wounds and regaining its energy.
In short, it will be a relatively gentle but relatively long stage of practice.
At this moment, under the influence of Bai Xuexiang, Shi Jiuyang's consciousness seemed to be connected to or penetrated the long river of time. Although it did not reach the incredible level of "eternity in an instant", it still condensed to a certain extent.
Time, transcending time, breaking through time.
What was originally ten years of work can be accomplished overnight!
And it is definitely not achieved in a hurry, it is achieved in a way that is a hundred times more ideal than the most ideal way, in an almost "perfect" way!
But the two people present were both laymen.
Xu Guangling didn't know how long the "normal" early stage of prosperity and decline would take.
Shi Jiuyang also didn't know that large sects usually don't make their disciples overly forward-looking when teaching them. For Shi Jiuyang, he probably has to pass through the true realm before he can get a more complete understanding from his master or sect.
The inheritance of the realm of prosperity and decline includes exercises and related experiences.
So at this moment, your Excellency has no idea that he is performing a miracle, which can even be said to be a small "miracle".
His cultivation progress is progressing at a speed as fast as lightning!
However, personally, he feels that time has slowed down, and his whole body and mind are in a relaxed, leisurely and even lazy state!
Gradually, perhaps under the invisible influence of Xu Guangling, he, like Xu Guangling, regarded this walk as a "vacation" or "outing"!
The two of them went deep. Although Xu Guangling would choose the route more deliberately and try to avoid those powerful beasts and even vicious beasts, there would still be times when they couldn't avoid it.
In this case, of course Shi Jiuyang came into play.
Taking advantage of the power of promotion, Shi Rongku didn't even need to make a move, just a look of intimidation, and at most a low scold like "duh". Basically, it was a smooth journey, and all beasts were in danger.
volt.
He already has a bit of the style of a "great monk"!
Except for such small details, the two people's "outing" trip was neither surprising nor dangerous, and the whole process was relaxed and enjoyable.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the sun sets and the moon rises.
Storytelling session once a day.
Suddenly, more than a month has passed.
But at this moment, Shi Jiuyang's eyes had unknowingly become clear again, and they were far clearer than when they were in the True First Realm before.
until.
This day.
The two of them walked to a mountain stream.
Shi Jiuyang stood by the stream. He was looking towards the stream unconsciously, but suddenly, he froze.
His figure is reflected in the stream.
Including the face, and of course his eyes.
The eyes on the shore looked at the eyes in the water. At this moment, Shi Jiuyang's sight seemed to suddenly penetrate something. Then, he saw a world that was different from usual!
From standing still to standing still.
From standing there for a long time, to raising his head and looking left and right.
Then he stood in front of a tree beside him and stared at the trunk of the tree at close range.
Then, he directly picked off a leaf, put it in the palm of his hand, held it up to his eyes, and looked at it again, and again, and again.
And so on, for half an hour.
Then, this monk in the prosperity and decline realm, who had regained the sunshine at some point in these days, said happily with a light and cheerful attitude as if he had been infected by the spring breeze:
