In the past three years, Lin Xuan has suffered from damage to his meridians. Every time he recovers from his injuries, it takes a long time. As an ordinary person without spiritual roots, it is difficult to keep up with his peers even if he works hard. Where can he go?
Time is delayed.
Lin Xuan carefully controlled the speed of the flow of spiritual energy. Fortunately, after repeated attempts, he already knew the endurance of his meridians.
An hour later, the cycle was completed, and the spiritual energy returned to the Dantian through the meridians.
After checking with internal vision, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a haze. He had worked so hard, but his cultivation level had not changed. Logically speaking, after doing the Great Zhoutian, his spiritual power should increase more or less.
It seemed that he had no choice but to practice his mind. Lin Xuan gritted his teeth.
The Road to Lianxin is a special place in Piaoyun Valley. It was accidentally discovered by the founder of the sect three thousand years ago. After investigation, it was determined that it was a relic left by ancient monks.
It is a very wonderful place. As long as you enter it, you will be enveloped in illusions. Sometimes you will be in a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and sometimes you will fall into eighteen levels of hell. Although the illusion will not cause real harm, it will make people miserable. However,
The benefits are also obvious.
Although the path of refining the mind is scary, the spiritual energy inside is very abundant, and practicing there can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, for the disciples of our sect, the road to refining the mind is free and open. Unfortunately, except for masters at the foundation-building stage and above, low-level disciples at the spiritual stage do not dare to try it at all. With their cultivation level, their Taoist hearts are unstable and they cannot withstand the invasion of illusions.
.
But now Lin Xuan has no other way to go. Either he is stuck at the bottleneck, or he seeks a breakthrough in the path of refining his mind. He chose the latter.
Pushing open the heavy stone door, Lin Xuan walked out of the practice room. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the stars were blinking weakly. However, Lin Xuan did not intend to rest, and left as if to practice mental training.
In the back mountain of Piaoyun Valley, there is a sloping passage on the stone wall that is bottomless. This is the Heart Refining Road. Standing at the entrance, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and walked in.
For the first hundred meters, there was no illusion, and the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exactly the same as outside. However, Lin Xuan did not dare to be careless at all. Although it was his first time here, he had often heard about the horror of the Heart Refining Path.
After walking a few more steps, the situation suddenly changed. The spiritual energy of the surrounding world became thicker. This place was indeed suitable for cultivation.
Lin Xuan's expression became solemn, and he looked around carefully before carefully sitting down cross-legged.
boom!
Flames about ten feet high suddenly burst out from the ground, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased...
When the terrifying scene appeared, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not panic and turned a blind eye. He still focused on absorbing the spiritual energy around him. Everything that happened on the Heart Refining Path was all an illusion and should be ignored.
However, even though he knew it was fake, it felt like it was real. Soon the flames raised the surrounding temperature to an unbearable level, and large drops of sweat dripped from Lin Xuan's face.
The hearsay was indeed completely different from his personal experience. In the past, Lin Xuan only listened to masters in the foundation building stage talking about the path to refining the mind, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying than the legend.
Soon the flames burned his body. With his first-level cultivation in the agile stage, he was still unable to release the shield, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
While enduring the pain of burning his body, he also had to concentrate and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The ordeal involved was unimaginable to ordinary people, but Lin Xuan managed to hold on with perseverance.
The flames licked the skin, and Lin Xuan's teeth clenched loudly. The pain caused the back to become numb, but there was indeed enough spiritual energy here, and the absorption speed was several times that of the outside.
Although it was an illusion, it felt like a real purgatory, testing Lin Xuan's perseverance.
Absorbing spiritual energy into the body is only the first step, and then one has to refine them one by one according to the secret method taught by the master. There will be a lot of losses in this. Usually hundreds of milliliters of spiritual energy are absorbed, and in the end you can only refine them.
Create spiritual power the size of a hair.
Then the spiritual power gained is circulated in the eight extraordinary meridians, and finally stored in the Dantian.
Even for a mentally tough person, it is impossible to complete the entire process in the fire. Lin Xuan persisted for five minutes, and his endurance had reached the limit. He stood up and ran out as fast as possible. When he left the spiritual energy
After sufficient area, the fire illusion also disappeared.
"Sure enough, it's just like the legend." Lin Xuan checked his whole body and found no scars at all, but the pain of being burned by the fire just now was still fresh in his memory.
Although it is uncomfortable, it is worth it, because the spiritual power here is not only highly concentrated, but also very pure. Cultivating here can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and the hope of breaking through the bottleneck is greatly increased.
After resting for a while, Lin Xuan stepped forward again, and the flames appeared again. He endured the pain of being burned and continued to absorb the spiritual energy.
When his endurance reached its limit, he would run out and rest for a while. After his physical strength recovered, he would step into the Fire Fantasy Land again.
In this way, over and over again, Lin Xuan relied on his perseverance to practice hard on the road of mental refining.
…
A few days passed, and his spiritual power finally made some progress. Although the harvest was still very small compared to what he had put in, it was much faster than practicing outside.
At this rate, as long as you persist, you should be able to enter the second level of the agility stage.
Silently calculating the progress of his cultivation, Lin Xuan stood up. He had been in the Mind Training Road for four days and should go out and take a look. First, he had been practicing in the fire without rest for the past few days, and his body had reached its limit. Second,
Come on, today is the time for the instructor to teach the exercises.
According to the rules of Piaoyun Valley, every four days, a master in the foundation-building stage will teach the disciples in the spiritual stage. With the guidance of the master, the practice can avoid many detours. Lin Xuan will naturally not miss such an opportunity.
Following the passage, Lin Xuan came outside. Different from when he came, he happened to meet a cultivator in the foundation building stage.
"Uncle Master!"
"You..." The man looked at Lin Xuan, his face full of surprise: "Did you go to the Heart Refining Road?"
"Yes, uncle."
After the two broke up, the monk in the foundation-building stage was still in a daze. Although the hallucination would not cause real harm, the feelings were exactly the same as reality. A disciple in the early stage of spiritual agility could actually endure it. This boy's perseverance was really amazing.
In addition to spiritual roots, cultivation also requires mental toughness. This disciple named Lin Xuan is really impressive!
