Chapter 202: The Difficulty of Cultivation for Ascension
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The little hoofed beast liked to follow the big rooster of Dayan Taizun back then, and now when he sees Dapeng, he also stubbornly approaches it with the same enthusiasm.
He had obtained Akeyoko's consent, and the hoofed beast was free to move around the entire mountain in the future.
The first year of junior high school is also pitiful, following Liu Qinghuan all the year round, he can only stay in the narrow cave and the even narrower spirit beast bag. Now there is a whole mountain for it to run wildly, and with its lively and active nature, I am afraid that it will not be happy.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't let it go, and had already sternly told it: Mingyangzi can't go to their courtyard, can't go to the medicine garden located in Shannan, and so on. As for the daily cultivation, after experiencing the pain of promotion, the little hoofed beast was much more diligent than before, so he didn't have to worry too much.
In the next half month, Liu Qinghuan spent some time with friends. Bai Fengming had already built the foundation a year ago, and Lin Guang had also reached the peak of the ninth layer of Qi training, and he was about to hit the foundation.
When Lin Guang saw him, he was a little embarrassed at first. After some tempering, his mind has become much more determined and peaceful, and his personality has become much more stable.
There are also Xuanbo and others, some are in the sect, and some are not. I haven't seen each other for many years, and we have a good conversation.
After visiting old friends, Liu Qinghuan collected his thoughts and prepared to retreat.
Ming Yangzi had already put him on the jade plate of the master's sect, and brought the monthly example of the true disciple.
"So many ......" Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but be a little shocked after reading it.
"You haven't been in the sect for the past two years, but the monthly rules are distributed as usual. Ming Yangzi said: "As my true disciple, I have ten Pei Yuan Dan and two hundred spirit stones every month. I've advanced everything you'll have for the next year, so you can cultivate well. ”
Liu Qinghuan really felt the benefits of being a disciple of Yuanying Zhenjun, and he himself also stored a large amount of pills, so he basically didn't have to worry about the pills needed for cultivation in the future.
Liu Qinghuan didn't start the retreat immediately, he decided to practice the second level of the Nine Heavens Distraction Technique and the Disturbing Divine Technique first.
Time flies, and Liu Qinghuan, who occasionally appears in the mountains of the garden, completely closed the cave after more than a year.
Although immortal cultivators have a longer lifespan than mortals, they do not live as freely as mortals. The prosperity and wealth of the world need to be abandoned, and grievances and hatreds are all for the purpose of sharpening the tenacity of the Dao heart, and a lot of time must be spent on cultivation.
Therefore, how can people who are not strong-willed endure sitting day and night.
The aura in the back mountain is already rich, coupled with the gathering effect of the aquatic wood qi array, in the closed quiet room, the aura is so abundant that it flows slowly like a substance.
Liu Qinghuan sat cross-legged in the formation, wrapped in a layer of blue light, breathing quietly. In the dantian, the cyan mountain of spiritual roots seems to have grown a little taller, standing in the middle of the spiritual sea. And at the foot of the Linggen Mountain, a green lotus blooms faintly in the blue water.
Outside the water spirit root, there is a spiritual sea composed of pure spiritual power, undulating and flowing, with the route of the mental method of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra of Eternal Life", flowing through the meridians of Liu Qinghuan's whole body, constantly circulating the Great Zhou Tian.
His mind has all sunk into the depths of the sea of consciousness, that is, the sky is falling apart outside, and this moment has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he didn't notice that the landscape map hanging on the wall of the ashram seemed to be absorbing the aura around him. It's just that the changes are so small that you can't see them at all if you don't look closely.
Year after year, the ink in the landscape picture seems to be soaked in aura, making the mountains in the picture a little greener, the water half whiter, and even the trees seem to be thicker.
It's ten years in the blink of an eye.
In the past ten years, Ming Yangzi would sometimes glance at Liu Qinghuan's small courtyard from afar, sighing that his disciple could really endure loneliness.
Finally, the cave that had been closed for ten years was finally opened on this day, and Liu Qinghuan's figure appeared in the small courtyard.
His appearance has not changed at all after taking the Dingyan Pill, only those eyes are more profound, which is difficult to ignore, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Liu Qinghuan sighed and swept over the flowers and grass in the courtyard, and then saw a white shadow rushing in from outside the courtyard and pounced into his arms.
Liu Qinghuan's body flashed with inspiration, and he had already removed the impact force brought by the little hoofed horned beast, and took off a grass stalk on its head and scolded with a smile: "Little thing, where did you run crazy again?"
Chu Yi arched intimately in his arms, and there was a constant feeling of missing that he hadn't seen for many years.
"Even if you have a conscience, you haven't forgotten me. Liu Qinghuan smiled: "I'll see if you have been lazy over the years." ”
Looking at it, I found that its cultivation was even higher than his...
Hatsuichi proudly jumped on his shoulders and demanded a reward.
Liu Qinghuan threw it a pill, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be in retreat for ten years.
In fact, in the seventh year, he had broken through the shackles of the early stage of foundation building and reached the middle stage, but he did not stop there, but continued to cultivate.
However, he immediately felt the doubling difficulty of improving his cultivation.
From the early to the middle stage, when he used the Spirit Gathering Array, was in a place where the spiritual energy was extremely strong, and at the same time had enough pills, it only allowed him to maintain a similar cultivation speed as ordinary monks.
In the middle of foundation building, this speed slows down rapidly. His dantian was like a bottomless pit, and a steady stream of spiritual power was replenished into it, but he couldn't see much upward momentum.
The foundation of "Sitting and Forgetting the Book of Eternal Life" is difficult to repair, and Liu Qinghuan finally has a deep experience.
But even so, he still didn't end the retreat immediately, but took out the jade elixir!
He didn't believe it, and with the help of the jade liquid elixir, his cultivation could not be raised.
Unfortunately, the truth is so cruel!
A full ten pieces of jade liquid elixir extracted from Qiongxin Soft Zhiyu filled a jade bottle, and it only raised his cultivation to more than half of the middle stage of foundation building.
Compared to his own penance, this is already a great improvement. However, if you change to someone else, after using so much jade liquid elixir, it is an absolute thing to reach the late stage of foundation building, and if the cultivation is vain, it is possible to reach the peak of the later stage.
Liu Qinghuan began to wonder if his short life span of two or three hundred years could really be refined when he was able to refine the Dan? The middle stage of foundation building was already so difficult, and he didn't dare to imagine it in the later stage.
In the future, where will he have such good spiritual luck, and then find such strange things as jade liquid elixir to improve his cultivation.
If you want to marry Shuangdan, it is really extremely difficult. And even if he wants to change his mind now, it is impossible.
In the ninth year, Liu Qinghuan finally decided to give up temporarily. The remaining few pieces of Qiong's soft-hearted sesame jade, he still kept it for alchemy in the future.
In the last year of his retreat, he used it to practice the Eight-Character Sword Technique.
"Qinghuan, come and see me in front. Suddenly, Liu Qinghuan's ears sounded Ming Yangzi's voice.
Putting down the little hoofed beast, he walked out of his small courtyard, and then walked through the mirror lake and garden, to Mingyangzi's courtyard.
Ming Yangzi was sitting in the hall waiting for him.
He stepped forward and knelt down first: "Meet Master! I'm out of the customs today." ”
"Get up. Ming Yangzi looked him up and down, brushed his long beard and nodded with satisfaction: "After ten years of retreat, your cultivation has made considerable progress." ”
Liu Qinghuan smiled bitterly in his heart: If Ming Yangzi knew that he had spent seven years in such a good cultivation environment, it took him seven years to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building, and he had used so much jade liquid elixir to only pass half of the middle stage, he would only feel that his cultivation was slower than that of a turtle.
Hiding his bitterness, Liu Qinghuan stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you Master for helping me take care of the little hoofed beast all these years, that guy didn't trouble you, right?"
"Haha, your little beast is very well-behaved, but it's a little playful. Ming Yangzi smiled: "But your monkey is too ghostly, a month ago, he actually slipped out of the magic circle and ran outside to eat indiscriminately, but he was poisoned and ran back." If it weren't for your second senior brother seeing it fall to the ground outside the big array, he would have carried it back to the mountain. ”
Liu Qinghuan was stunned. Is it any wonder that I saw the little hoofed beast today, but I didn't see the little monkey: "And this thing! It's dead? I haven't seen it since I got out." ”
"Not dead yet. With a wave of his sleeves, the Aoki Demon Monkey appeared on the ground in front of him.
Ten years have passed, and the little monkey has grown up, with black hair and shiny water, just lying motionless with his eyes closed. If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still heaving, it would have made people think it was dead.
Liu Qinghuan raised its arm: "What's wrong with it?"
"I was poisoned and never got rid of it. Ming Yangzi's eyes showed a hint of interest: "The poison of the white black grass in it, this poison is very fast, for a first-order demon beast, it will kill immediately after being hit." As a result, it not only ran back, but also waited outside the formation for a long time before being discovered by your second senior brother. Your second senior brother saw that it hadn't signed a spirit beast contract with you, so he left it aside and left it alone, and by the time I found out, it was already three days later. ”
