Mortals ask the immortals

The next day, Duan Qing got up before dawn. It was not because he was very active. Although he was really looking forward to what his senior sister would teach him today, it was not to this extent. In fact, he was awakened by hunger. He looked around but found nothing to eat!

Do people in Jinxuan Sect not eat? Duan Qing was speechless. He did not dare to leave this place without permission. When he came here yesterday, he was dizzy and did not look at the road at all. Besides, he was afraid that he would not be able to find anyone after leaving his senior sister!

But in fact, Duan Qing's worries were completely unnecessary. He got up and waited since dawn, waited until morning, and waited for a whole morning, but no one came. It was not until noon when Duan Qing was a little dizzy from hunger that he vaguely heard a cheerful bell, and it was Senior Sister Luying who came with brisk steps.

"Junior brother, your senior sister is here." Luying shouted as soon as she entered the room.

But what she saw was Duan Qing lying on the table like a frosted eggplant.

Duan Qing knew that his senior sister had arrived when he heard the bell ringing, but now he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and his eyes were black.

He hadn't had a full meal in the past few days, and his body was very weak. In addition, he had been hungry for almost a day, and now he couldn't even get up from the table.

Duan Qing asked a little embarrassedly after forcing himself to stand up and looking at the radiant Lu Ying in front of him.

"Senior sister, um... when are we going to eat?"

After saying that, her stomach cooperated and "grumbled".

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and chuckled. She had forgotten about this. There were not many people on Yanfeng, and each of them had a high level of cultivation. She hadn't had the habit of cooking for many years. Since she started practicing, she had been eating fasting pills to satisfy her appetite. She didn't expect that this new junior brother was still a complete mortal and still needed to eat.

After laughing, Lu Ying took out a small green bottle from her bag and handed it to Duan Qing, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, Junior Brother, I overslept today! Here, this is a Bigu Pill. If you feel hungry, just take one. Remember not to eat too much."

Duan Qing took the bottle with some suspicion, opened it and looked at it. There were small pills in it, about a dozen or so. He poured one out and took it in his hand to look at it. The pill was about the size of a fingernail, dark green in color, nothing special. He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was no special smell either, just a slight smell of grass and wood.

He was very hungry now, and didn't want to think about anything else. He opened his mouth and planned to put it in his mouth.

At this time, Lu Ying suddenly reached out to stop Duan Qing. "By the way, you haven't started practicing yet, you can't swallow it directly. You have to take it with water, otherwise you won't be able to withstand the power of the Bigu Pill."

"Yeah."

Duan Qing responded after hearing it, and then put the pill in his mouth, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water into his mouth, not even bothering to use a cup.

He had just washed the teapot in the morning and filled it with water. He had only drunk some water this morning, which made him feel sick.

The pills were not as bitter as he had imagined, but rather slightly sweet with a hint of grass and wood. After the water entered his mouth, the pills melted in the water, and the sweetness quickly magnified, and Duan Qing swallowed them all at once.

It was also strange that after the pills and water went down his stomach together, Duan Qing felt that the previous hunger had obviously subsided quickly, and his mouth and tongue were salivating as if he had just had a full meal, leaving an endless aftertaste.

Duan Qing stared at the small bottle in his hand with wide eyes. Such a small pill was so effective.

"Senior sister, what is this fasting pill made of? The effect is so good!" Duan Qing couldn't help but exclaimed.

"These are just some ordinary things that only disciples in the Qi Refining Stage need to eat. When you enter the Transcendent Realm like the senior brother in the future, you can directly fast without eating anything."

Luying explained with some pride. She felt quite accomplished when she explained to this little junior brother who knew nothing.

In the past, she was the youngest in Yanfeng and had the lowest cultivation level, so everyone took care of her. Now that she has a junior brother Xiaobai, she suddenly feels like a senior sister.

Duan Qing nodded, and was very yearning for the realm that Luying talked about. This time, when he heard Senior Sister Luying mention the Transcendent Realm, he remembered the question he had asked Brother Ma Liang before, so he asked.

"Senior sister, what do you mean by realm, Qi training, Transcendent Realm, etc.?"

Luying reached out and pulled a chair, and with a light wave of her sleeves, the dust on it was blown out of the window by a breeze and scattered. She sat on the chair and said with a smile. "Hehe, Junior Brother, don't be anxious. I will tell you slowly.

"Let me start with our Jinxuan Sect. Our Jinxuan Sect is the only sect of immortal cultivation in Dacang Country. There are the head of the sect, the five peaks, and the seven elders and disciples. There are about a hundred people in total. However, our Yanfeng has the least people. There are only six people including you. The other elders and heads have more than ten disciples. "

After taking a breath, Lu Ying continued to speak.

"As for the realm of immortal cultivation you asked about, it is a name for the strength of immortal cultivators in our immortal cultivation world. The first realm of cultivation is Qi training, which is divided into nine levels. Above Qi training is the realm of transformation. Only when you reach this realm can you be called a real immortal cultivator, shedding your mortal body, not eating the five grains of the world, and flying with a sword, traveling in the sky, and living for three hundred years. "

Duan Qing listened with longing, flying to the sky! That is the dream that everyone has since childhood. Yesterday, I experienced the feeling of flying once, but it was not very pleasant.

"Is metamorphosis the end of cultivating immortality?" Duan Qing asked curiously.

Lu Ying was amused by Duan Qing's question and laughed out loud. This little junior brother of hers was really naive.

"I just said that being transformed from the mortal world can only be called an immortal cultivator, which means that the realm of mortal transformation is just the beginning. As far as I know, after being transformed from the mortal world, there is also the state of questioning mind, which is also the highest known state in the entire Xiaonan world. Like my father and the other heads, the heads and the elders are all at this level, and it is estimated that only the sects of the Middle Earth can achieve this."

Lu Ying explained, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes when she mentioned Shang Zong.

Duan Qing's blood boiled with excitement. He was already able to fly with a sword in the Mortal Transformation Realm. It was hard to imagine what a higher realm of inquiry could do, or even what a higher realm could do!

He looked at Lu Ying excitedly and asked impatiently.

"Sister, how do you practice?"

Lu Ying looked at Duan Qing with some pride, gave it a try, and pondered for a moment. "The world is filled with a kind of thing that we can't see or touch. We call it "spiritual energy." What is called spiritual power is called an immortal cultivator, and the link between people and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the various immortal cultivation techniques. Through practicing the techniques, people can absorb and mobilize the spiritual energy for their own use. My father should have done it yesterday Did I give you the exercises for the Qi training period?"

Duan Qing almost understood it. It was like eating and drinking water. However, people who eat whole grains will inevitably die. I wonder if this cultivator will be able to escape this life, old age, illness and death in the end!

Hearing Lu Ying mention the immortal cultivation technique, Duan Qing remembered that Master San Yan had indeed given him something yesterday. Before he took a bath last night, he put those things and some of the things he brought with him beside his pillow. He quickly She stood up and walked to the bed, took out a jade slip and a few crystal stones from the pillow, and handed them to Luying.

"Senior sister, which of these is the cultivation technique for immortality?"

Lu Ying choked at this silly question, rolled her eyes at Duan Qing angrily, pointed at the jade slip and said.

"Of course it's this jade slip. You can feel it when you put it between your eyebrows."

After saying that, before Duan Qing could do anything, Lu Ying snatched the jade slip from Duan Qing's hand and put it on his forehead.

Duan Qing was so frightened by the jade slip that suddenly stuck to his face that he subconsciously closed his eyes.

The cold jade slip was pressed against his forehead, and he suddenly "saw" some words. The three characters "Yin Yuan Shu" were the first to be read, and then there were some complicated and difficult words. It was strange to say that his eyes were closed at this time. Yes, but he could "see" these words, and he could see them more clearly than he could with his real eyes. It was as if the words suddenly appeared in his mind.

Until Lu Ying moved the jade slip away from his eyebrows, Duan Qing was still immersed in the wonderful experience just now.

"What you just saw should be the Yin Yuan Technique. This is the method practiced by our disciples in the Qi training period of Jin Xuanzong. Your senior sister and I also practice this."

Lu Ying took the jade slip away from Duan Qing's eyebrows and said to Duan Qing.

After a while, Duan Qing regained his composure and nodded to Lu Ying. He was surprised by the magic of those jade slips. He looked at the crystal clear stone in his hand. He couldn't wait to know what it was and whether it looked like something else. That jade slip is so magical.

Lu Ying explained as if she knew what Duan Qing was thinking. "This is a spiritual stone, which contains spiritual energy. I just said that cultivation is to absorb spiritual energy and strengthen oneself. Although the world is full of spiritual energy, but the control of spiritual energy is very weak at the beginning of practice. If you practice solely by absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, The speed will be very slow, so this kind of spiritual stone is needed. This spiritual stone is the crystallization of a large amount of spiritual energy gathered and condensed over countless years. It contains pure spiritual energy, but this kind of spiritual stone also has disadvantages, that is, it is very unstable! "

Luying paused after saying this and looked at Duan Qing who continued to explain with a serious look on his face.

"Although this spirit stone contains a large amount of spiritual energy, it requires a high degree of control from the user. Only those who have reached the Wenxin state or above can directly use the spirit stone to practice. If you practice with it below the Wenxin state, it will easily cause your own spiritual power to go riot. If you are light, If you lose all your cultivation, you will be killed directly!"

Duan Qing was a little confused when he heard it. Didn't he say that he needed to use these spiritual stones when he first started practicing?

Lu Ying pretended to smile profoundly. "Hehe, are you confused? Let me tell you, the raw spirit stone that has not been engraved with array patterns cannot be used during the Qi training period and the mortal transformation stage. But if you see the array patterns on this spirit stone, it is a spirit-binding stone. Patterns are widely spread in the world of immortality. If this spirit-binding pattern is engraved on the mined raw spirit stone, the spirit stone can stably provide spiritual energy to the immortal cultivator, and can also be used by people in the Qi refining stage and the transformation stage. The spirit stone is cultivated. The spirit pattern on your spirit stone was carved by my father.

"Then can everyone carve this spiritual pattern?" Duan Qing couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

Lu Ying rolled her eyes at him. "You have a beautiful idea. Don't even think about cultivation without asking about your state of mind. Also, I heard my father say that although engraving this kind of spirit-binding pattern can make the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone become stable, it will not be used when it is used. It will waste a lot of spiritual energy. With my father's level, the loss of the spirit binding pattern he carved can be kept at about 30%. Don't be too low. This is already a very high level. It is ranked first in the entire Xiaonan Realm. It’s the number one!”

After saying that, he looked at Duan Qing with a proud look on his face.
