Chapter 3 Talking about Cultivation
It was already dawn in the morning, but because of the mountains, I could see the sun.
In Pushi Village, the villagers here have already gotten up early and started their new day of work.
"Doctor Xu, oh, Xiaoyu has followed the doctor up the mountain today? Well, help the doctor more so that he can eat with peace of mind."
Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed his nose awkwardly. The villagers here all said something directly, and the other party said it right. If he was lazy, he would not be very down-to-earth when eating.
Xu Rou doesn't like talking much, but she seems to talk a lot to Jiang Xiaoyu. On weekdays, she just silently treats a doctor in front of her and rarely chats with others. But she always smiles, at least not cold.
The two left the village and walked towards the mountain to the east.
I had been climbing the mountain with Xu Rou before, so Jiang Xiaoyu was not unfamiliar with this journey at all.
The mountain to the east has no unique name. Because it is located in the east, it is called Dongshan. Although the name is ordinary, this mountain is not ordinary at all. It has experienced storms and has had a history of too many years. At the same time, it has raised the people of Pushi Village at the foot of the mountain for a long time. If this mountain was not there, life in Pushi Village would be very difficult.
The process of collecting herbs today seems to be a little different. Xu Rou usually picks herbs. If the herbs are in a relatively dangerous and steep place, Jiang Xiaoyu would volunteer. After all, he is a man. How can such a thing be done by a girl? If he could recognize the herbs, he would probably not let Xu Rou come out. So when collecting herbs, he would recognize and pick them at the same time, so he talked a lot with Xu Rou.
Now, Xu Rou has been walking up the mountain without any stopping. Jiang Xiaoyu carried a basket and followed closely behind. On the way, he encountered some herbs he knew, but Xu Rou had no intention of picking them.
With the confusion in his heart, Jiang Xiaoyu followed the other party, not knowing what kind of hindrance Xu Rou was selling. But since the other party asked him to follow, it means that he would know later what was going on, which made Xu Rou give up so many herbs?
This is a very remote mountain path. If Xu Rou hadn't taken it, Jiang Xiaoyu would have thought he would not have found it. It was surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, but this path seemed to be isolated from the surroundings and did not interfere with each other.
After walking for a while, Xu Rou suddenly stopped. This behavior made Jiang Xiaoyu stop quickly, and did not hit Xu Rou's body.
This is a small pool, with white gas coming out of the pool water. The pool water is not very large, and it can probably allow four or five people to take a bath in it.
There is a small land in the center of the pond water, and on the small land, there is a three-leaf clover growing. Each grass has strange patterns. Because the distance is a bit far, Jiang Xiaoyu did not see these patterns.
But the light that kept walking on the lines attracted his attention.
The surrounding mountain walls are milky white, and the air is sober, making people feel refreshed. The grasses that are blessed with such a blessing in the world are definitely not ordinary things. No wonder Xu Rou went up the mountain this time and ignored the herbs. It turned out that there was a sacred grass waiting for her here!
The Clover was surrounded by pools of water, so Xu Rou was inconvenient to go down, so Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "Do you want me to pick it for you?"
Xu Rou shook her head and said, "I discovered it three years ago. At that time, it was not fully mature. I calculated the time. It will probably be fully mature today. I didn't expect it to come early, and I have to wait for three more hours."
"And it is better for me to come in person, because it is different from ordinary herbs, and there are many requirements for picking methods. Its name is Green Light Grass. Wherever it exists, there is Green Light. If it is obtained by a cultivator, it can increase his cultivation. If ordinary people use it as medicine, they can refine Vitality Pills, which can increase their lifespan for ten years." Xu Rou intentionally or unintentionally instill knowledge in Jiang Xiaoyu.
Ten years of life? Then this grass is really a magical grass! Jiang Xiaoyu widened his eyes, but he calmed down soon. The green grass leaves are good, and the vitality pill is good. He only has eleven months. If he cannot complete the task at that time, even a hundred vitality pills cannot save his life!
If it weren't for the promotion system, Jiang Xiaoyu wouldn't know that there was such a cultivator in this world. It is said that such a person could fly on a sword, travel thousands of miles a day, move mountains and seas, and do everything...
Then, how did Xu Rou know? Could it be that the other party is also a cultivator?
"Can you tell me about cultivation?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a embarrassed smile.
It’s not that he wants to explore the other party’s secrets, but that he wants to know about cultivation.
Xu Rou naturally understood what the other party meant, nodded slightly, and then said: "The so-called cultivation is just to cultivate qi. Qi is fate, and fate is qi, and it can also be said to be to cultivate qi. Who doesn't want to be immortal, and who doesn't want eternity?"
"Then do you think?" Jiang Xiaoyu blurted out, and then he regretted his idiot's actions.
Unexpectedly, Xu Rou shook her head and responded, "How about immortality and eternity, it's just another way of death. But some people can't see through it or understand it. So, I don't want to."
Then she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "When I saved you, I checked your body. There seemed to be a very ancient curse in your body. I cannot explore the specific era. But this curse is terrible and I cannot break it. If it weren't for this curse, with your qualifications, you should be able to go a long way in the road of cultivation."
In the end, Xu Rou wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't tell Jiang Xiaoyu that he had eleven months left to live. If there was no way to lift the curse within eleven months, then the other party would die without a place to bury him.
This damn promotion system! Jiang Xiaoyu cursed in his heart, and he had no curse. If he insisted on saying it, he could only say it was this promotion system. The curse in Xu Rou's mouth must be it!
"You are twenty-four years old this year. If you are a few years younger, maybe some great people will try their best to drive away your curse." Xu Rou's tone was helpless.
The golden period of cultivation is from fifteen to thirty years old. Even if Jiang Xiaoyu can practice now, he will only have a golden period of six years at most. In the eyes of some great abilities, he has no value anymore, and he will not be able to do much trouble or even damage his own vitality.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and didn't say much. He couldn't practice because he could only increase his cultivation through the benefits he received through promotion, and it was not impossible. Naturally, he did not tell Xu Rou that this was his second big secret and could not be told.
"Can you tell me the strength of a practitioner?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
When he first came to this world, he was very curious about everything, especially in terms of cultivation. Part of the reason was because of his own promotion system. If he wanted to promote points, those who practice secrets must reach the corresponding level. Furthermore, it is always right to know more, and he himself was very curious about cultivation.
I didn't ask before, because I didn't know who to ask. When asked the villagers, the other party only said that it was a god, and I didn't know about it other than that.
Today he found that people who know how to practice seem to be by his side. Judging from the other person's appearance, he had no intention of avoiding it. Therefore, he mustered up the courage and asked for advice with shamelessness.
Regarding practitioners, it is so mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people. Some people are afraid that they will never encounter one in their lifetime. Therefore, many legends are circulated. In Xu Rou's eyes, the so-called practitioners are just stronger people, which is that simple.
"It is better to say that the division of strength is a realm. On the road of cultivation, there are roughly five realms that I know." Xu Rou corrected Jiang Xiaoyu's point of view, and then continued: "The first realm is the first feeling. Sensing the breath of heaven and earth can also be understood as the breathing of heaven and earth, that is, spiritual energy. The human body corresponds to heaven and earth, and there are some acupoints that can accommodate spiritual energy. Sensing the breath of heaven and earth, and then discover which of your acupoints are sensitive to spiritual energy, so that they can open it up and absorb spiritual energy."
"The classics once said that the body is like a stream and pool, gathering into a sea. Open the thirty-six acupoints in the body and accept the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so that you can enter another realm, the sea of qi. Strictly speaking, at this point, you will truly be considered a practitioner."
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, not understanding it, and then he asked in confusion: "According to what you said, isn't spiritual energy everywhere?"
Xu Rou smiled and shook her head, amused by Jiang Xiaoyu's statement, and responded: "Air is not spiritual energy. Only in some special places can there be spiritual energy, and there are traces of heaven and earth breathing."
Only after saying this is the case, Jiang Xiaoyu understood that there will be spiritual energy in the place where the heaven and earth have breathed.
Xu Rou continued to say, "Thirty-six acupoints, accept spiritual energy, and form an ocean in her body. At this time, you can use various magical powers to travel thousands of miles a day and drive things from the sky. When the sea of Qi rises and mists and falls into the Dantian, clouds will rise. Once you enter the realm of clouds and fog, you can fly clouds and fogs and travel thousands of miles a day."
"Why can't the Dantian contain spiritual energy?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked his own question.
Xu Rou looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, and the other party was like herself before, raising all kinds of doubts about her teacher. The teachers all answered them patiently, but now the role has changed.
"Compared with the Dantian, the acupoints are still stronger and more sensitive to spiritual energy. If the Dantian is used to directly accept spiritual energy, then the body will explode and die. Only when the spiritual energy extracted through the acupoints, that is, clouds and mist, can it be accepted into the dantian." Xu Rou said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly. After playing for a long time, those damn fantasy novels are all lie! This made me make a big mistake and ask such an idiotic sexual question!
In general, the Dantian can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it requires a transition. It cannot be directly introduced in the form of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it must be transformed into soft clouds and mist.
"The fourth realm is to transform the dragon. The clouds and mist in the dantian can be tempered to a certain level, and then they can turn into a divine dragon and occupy the dantian. The divine dragon is the darling of heaven and earth. Once it reaches the realm of transformation, it will help you temper the dantian, which is extremely strong. At that time, the divine dragon breathes out the aura of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy is endless and lasting forever! When it reaches the level of transformation, it is a great practitioner."
"The fifth realm is the Divine Bridge." Speaking of this, Xu Rou sighed, raised her head and looked at the sky, "Whether clouds are clouds or transformed into dragons, they will die in the end. That level of practitioners can only last for a hundred years. Legend has it that there is a perfect world on the other side, and sentient beings will never die. If you want to reach the other side from the sea of suffering, you must build a Divine Bridge. This is the origin of this realm!"
