Chapter 3: The Five Elements True Qi

"I see, the disciple knows. After listening to Lu Yan's explanation and understanding the principle of using the Divine Mind Transmission Technique, Ye Qiuli immediately understood the reason why this spell could not be used casually. Just as he didn't like Lu Yan to use mind reading to probe his own mind, no cultivator would like to directly expose his thoughts and memories to the gaze of others. Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and this principle is universal in any society.

Seeing Ye Qiuli's expression of understanding, obviously listening to his explanation in his ears, Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good that you can keep it in mind, although cultivators look down on a lot of mundane things, they are more sensitive than anyone else when it comes to themselves." However, if your cultivation is not as good as the other party, then it is very likely that something bad will happen, and you should pay special attention to this. ”

"How about it, you have also read the foundation building cultivation method that the teacher has passed on to you, but what doubts do you have? While the teacher still has time, hurry up and ask it, and the teacher will give you a detailed answer. After reminding Ye Qiuli of the taboo matters that he should pay attention to when walking in the cultivation realm, Lu Yan didn't say much more, and instead asked him about his understanding of the foundation building exercises he had taught.

Hearing Lu Yan's inquiry, knowing that this matter was related to the success or failure of his cultivation, Ye Qiuli didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly said what he didn't understand: "This Divine Thought Transmission Technique is indeed very wonderful, the cultivation exercises taught by the master are like being engraved in the minds of the disciples, every bit is clear, there is no omission, and this exercise does not seem to be too complicated, referring to the master's experience and commentary, the disciples can basically understand seven or eight percent." The only thing that makes the disciples feel strange is that the cultivation method created by the master is obviously called "Nine Grades of Ascending to Immortals", why is the foundation building method passed on to the disciples "Five Elements True Qi"?"

"Hehe, although the teacher has successfully compiled a superior cultivation method, when it comes to building the foundation, the "Five Elements True Qi" that has been circulated in the cultivation world for countless years obviously has more right to speak. After all, it is a mature method that has been personally verified by countless cultivators, and the requirements and attention in all aspects have been explored clearly, and there are many successful experiences to learn from, making it easier to grasp and less dangerous to cultivate. Regarding Ye Qiuli's question, Lu Yan was obviously prepared, and explained with a smile.

After a slight pause, he continued: "When I entered the Tao as a teacher, I practiced the 'Five Elements True Qi', and I have personal cultivation experience, and my understanding of it is also considered to be deep. Moreover, the "Nine Grades of Ascension to Immortal Formula" compiled for the teacher is also a cultivation method with all five elements in the same vein as the "Five Elements True Qi", and it is just right for it to lay the foundation for cultivation.

In fact, even if you pass on the "Nine Grades of Ascending to Immortal Formula" for your teacher, the foundation building technique in it is still the "Five Elements True Qi". It's just that the amount of information in the "Nine Grades of Ascension to Immortals" is too huge, and you can't hold it at all with your uncultivated sea of knowledge, for your safety, as a teacher, you can only temporarily extract the "Five Elements True Qi" separately and teach it to you first, so that you can cultivate first. As for most of the remaining cultivation secrets, you can only wait for you to cultivate to the enlightened realm, and then check and learn from the Jade Pupil Jane yourself. ”

After answering Ye Qiuli's questions, Lu Yan briefly introduced the specific situation of "Five Elements True Qi".

This is a very widely spread foundation building technique in the cultivation world, the five elements are complete, both virtuous and foolish, as long as you have a little qualification, you can try to cultivate. Moreover, this exercise is simple and straightforward, easy to understand, there are not many complex theories, nor many tricks in the hall, and a person can successfully cultivate by groping for it, which is the best choice for newcomers to cultivation with poor conditions when they first get started.

In addition, this foundation-building exercise is not only simple to cultivate, but also very neutral and peaceful, and it is very safe to cultivate, and the chance of going mad is very small. Most of the casual cultivators in the cultivation realm started their cultivation career by cultivating the Five Elements True Qi.

Of course, there are gains and losses, this "Five Elements True Qi" is not flawless, it also has a lot of shortcomings, and one of the most obvious shortcomings is that the speed of cultivation is too slow, if there are no effective auxiliary measures, it will take at least a year and a half of cultivation to see the effect, if you want to cultivate it to the realm of Dacheng, there is no ten or eight years, it is completely impossible.

In addition to the slow cultivation speed, the spell skills that match this "Five Elements True Qi" are also very mediocre, they are some of the most ordinary basic Five Elements Spells, which are completely the big road goods in the cultivation realm, and it is difficult to cultivate any powerful offensive and defensive combat methods through it. If a cultivator wants to master other skills and spells, he needs to learn separately.

This exercise, if you look at it from Ye Qiuli's point of view, is the purest internal strength cultivation method, except for the simple and safe cultivation and improvement of the cultivator's internal strength strength, there is nothing superfluous involved, and it is completely up to the cultivator to find another way.

Of course, as the foundation building exercise method with the most extensive spread in the cultivation realm, the longest inheritance time, and the largest number of cultivators, "Five Elements True Qi" is obviously not so simple, in addition to the characteristics that ordinary foundation building exercises may have, it also has a unique attribute, that is, it can automatically reflect the qualifications and attributes of the cultivator in the cultivation process, so that the cultivator can be targeted to assist.

This is quite an easy ability. As the saying goes, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, for any cultivator, figuring out their own qualifications and attributes is an extremely important thing, and the most important thing is the choice of cultivation exercises. If you choose the right cultivation method that suits you, you will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort and smooth sailing when you cultivate; if you accidentally cultivate the wrong method, then the problem will be big, and it will be difficult to get twice the result with half the effort, and it is also very normal for you to go mad and die at any time during the cultivation process.

It is precisely for this reason that in the cultivation world, any cultivator will carefully choose the cultivation techniques that suit his or her own qualifications and attributes from the beginning of his cultivation, and even abandon the high and the low, giving up the high-level exercises that are not suitable for him, and instead choosing the low-level exercises that are suitable for him. If you really don't know your own qualifications and attributes, you can only try to choose a more advanced attribute-free exercise for cultivation.

This shows the importance of judging one's qualifications and attributes clearly for cultivators. And if you want to judge your qualifications and attributes clearly, in addition to automatically understanding them after your cultivation is high to a certain extent, the other most mainstream method is to be tested by a master of cultivation. It is indeed very rare to be able to achieve this effect with just one of the most basic foundation building exercises, and it is basically the only one in the cultivation world, and there is no other semicolon.

Using the "Five Elements True Qi" to judge a cultivator's own qualifications and attributes is actually very simple: if you cultivate the "Five Elements True Qi" without the assistance of external forces, and rely solely on your own efforts, if you still can't feel any progress after two or three years of cultivation, it is a sign of extremely poor qualifications, and it is recommended to give up cultivation completely, or seek the elixir of creating heavenly machines to be reborn and change your qualifications;

If you make progress after a year of cultivation, it is a sign of poor qualifications, and it is also not suitable to embark on the path of cultivation, and if you must persevere, you will only be able to cultivate a little insignificant ability in the end;

If you feel progress after six months of cultivation, then the cultivator's qualifications are medium, and if you persist in cultivating, you can also cultivate the Yuan Infant, but if you don't have enough chances, you will have almost no hope of surviving the tribulation; if you find that the progress is obvious after three months of cultivation, then the cultivator's qualifications are middle and upper, and the vast majority of people in the cultivation realm are so qualified, and if you persist in cultivating, you will be able to overcome the tribulation, but it will be very difficult;

If you feel that you have made significant progress after thirty days of cultivation, then the cultivator has excellent qualifications and is very suitable for the great profession of cultivating the truth, even among the major sects, he can be ranked as a core disciple, and he is the backbone of the sect lineage.

If you feel the rapid progress within ten days of cultivation, then the cultivator's qualifications are high, and you can be called a genius, and the vast majority of masters in the cultivation realm will rush to accept disciples, if there are no accidents during the cultivation process, it is almost no problem to ascend to immortality. Such a genius, in the huge cultivation realm, there are always two or three every thousand years, leading the cultivation realm to be coquettish for a while.

In addition, there is a peerless genius in this world who can slowly accumulate great strength even if he does not cultivate, and after reaching a certain realm, he can naturally step into the path of cultivation. This kind of peerless genius is rare in ten thousand years, and each of them is a legend in the cultivation realm, all of them are powerful in the cultivation realm, and they have dominated the world for thousands of years.

Such people don't need any auxiliary means at all, as long as they have a little cultivation knowledge, they can know that their qualifications are absolutely extraordinary, and they are not comparable to ordinary people at all.

Judging one's cultivation qualifications through the Five Elements True Qi, the process is like this, although it is a bit troublesome, but on the whole, it is also very simple, and it is not a difficult thing.

After judging one's own cultivation qualifications, it would be even easier to judge the attributes. In addition to the main cultivation part, there are five small branches of the "Five Elements True Qi", which correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the cultivator can try the cultivation exercises of these five small branches respectively, and which attribute of the exercises feels better, makes faster progress, and conforms to the characteristics recorded in the exercises, then which attribute is his body.

After fully understanding their own qualifications and attributes, cultivators can adjust the direction of their cultivation in a targeted manner to make it more in line with their own characteristics. In addition to using attribute-specific elixirs and magic weapons to assist in cultivation, the more important thing is the selection of cultivation exercises after the foundation is successfully built and the cultivation method is officially started.

In fact, there is not much doubt about this, of course, it is the best cultivation method to cultivate which attribute is the physical attribute. For example, people with fire attributes practice fire-attribute exercises, and people with water attributes practice water-attribute exercises, and after matching each other, they practice separately, and each has nothing to do with it.
