Shen Lian did not answer directly, but said: "The way you practice is to turn all the essence of your body into a wisp of fire essence. I think that essence is so important that you can't touch it easily, but the way you practice is the first." The step involves the essence, energy and spirit, and the ingenuity is really breathtaking. What is even more powerful is the essence of this ray of fire. As your practice deepens, sooner or later you will reach the power of the true fire of samadhi, and then you will be rare in the world. What's wrong, besides, your origin is wood, and wood can make fire. It seems that this technique is tailor-made for you. "
Liu Mengde was horrified. Even though he knew that Shen Lian was a master of Taoism, he never thought that he could see through him. 'Samadhi True Fire' is the name of his practice, and it is also the state he will eventually reach.
At the beginning, his master told him that he had an ordinary nature and that if he wanted to achieve the Great Way, he would have to find another strange way. If he could have great opportunity and great wisdom to practice the real fire of Samadhi, then not only would he have achieved the Great Way, but he would also be able to become like them. One of the most outstanding descendants of the bloodline, even demons who have stepped into the realm of the 'Great Sage' can compete with him.
There are countless demons with great supernatural powers in the world, like the crucian carp crossing the river, but those who can be called 'great sages' are all so powerful that even the King of Xia can't restrain them.
Liu Mengde said respectfully: "Senior's eyes are like a torch, and what he said is accurate. In fact, juniors also have doubts. I originally untied the knot in my heart and loosened the bottleneck of my practice. I thought I could make a big effort and let my own fire enter the realm of endless life. , but I still couldn't overcome it, so I went down the mountain to Daxi Country, hoping to use Daxi Country's national luck to help me break through the bottleneck. However, I tried several times, but failed. I guess it was because I didn't have enough savings, but I couldn't figure out the reason, so Extremely puzzled.”
Shen Lian had long seen that he had formed the intention of fire, and it had taken shape, but he had never been able to condense a pure true fire, which became the source of mana in his body and continued to grow. In fact, if he breaks through to this point, it will probably be different from returning the elixir on his own. All methods in the world lead to the same goal through different paths. It is not without reason that the Taoist has decided to practice the nine realms.
This is actually a level of practice that countless Taoist practitioners in the world have to face. However, due to different techniques, some techniques are simply unstoppable at some levels.
But regardless of any technique, it is extremely difficult to restore the elixir and establish the core of mana. Although there are external help or tricks, it is by no means the best choice.
After passing this level, you need to understand your mind, which can also be called entering the Tao. Only then can you be called a true practitioner and be able to have some vague understanding of heaven and earth, rather than just practicing step by step.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "I have encountered your dilemma before, but my experience cannot tell you. Since you are here, you might as well sit with me and look at the gorgeous peach blossoms."
The moonlight in the sky condensed into a ball of moonlight, immersing Shen Lian in the clear light. At this moment, Shen Lian was like the bright moon in the world, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Suddenly a ball of light burst out, turning the quiet night white, and everywhere there was a clear glow. The peach trees in the courtyard were vividly visible, and even the smallest texture could be seen clearly.
Liu Mengde approached the peach tree and was filled with emotions.
Shen Lian sat under the peach tree, and Liu Mengde also sat down. If you are surrounded by countless mirrors, the light will flow everywhere in the courtyard and cannot escape.
A gust of wind blew up, and the peach trees swayed, and pieces fell, creating a rain of flowers.
After sitting quietly for a long time, Liu Mengde gradually came to a realization.
The peach blossom lives on the peach tree, and dies when it leaves the branches. When it falls on the ground and dissolves in the soil, it slowly dissolves into fertilizer, and is finally absorbed by the roots of the peach tree.
He sighed deeply and said: "It turns out that I am obsessed and have lost a bit of nature. The peach blossoms fall not because of the wind, but because they fall."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "You can understand this, which means that the sect you practice also values the nature of Dharma. What's more, you come from a different family and can obtain the righteous Dharma. It seems that the sect you come from is not bound by the secular, so I am a little interested. ”
Liu Mengde said: "Everything I have learned in my life is from Xuanzhen Temple, but there are tens of thousands of disciples who have listened to Taoism in Xuanzhen Temple, and I am just one of them. I have not recorded my name. My master, Mu Zhen, is the disciple of Xuanzhen Temple." The true biography of the true concept has a name and a surname."
He spoke cautiously about Xuan Zhen Guan, but Shen Lian remained indifferent.
You must know that the king of Xia has always disliked Taoism and Buddhism. Therefore, there are very few Taoist temples and temples in Daxia, and those that can be preserved are all famous in the world.
Xuanzhen Guan is one of them.
Due to Daxia's strict restrictions on Taoism and Buddhism, the number of disciples in Taoist temples is very limited. Therefore, even though Xuanzhen Temple is famous, there are only fifty disciples in the temple. They are all selected from thousands of people and are registered by Daxia. Make a book and seal the real person.
The most famous Xuanzhen Temple has seven people, known as the Seven Sons of Xuanzhen Temple, representing the seven branches of Xuanzhen Temple.
Liu Mengde's master, Mu Zhen, was the proud disciple of Changshengzi, one of the seven sons of Xuanzhen. He was registered and conferred the title of Zhenren by Daxia a hundred years ago. As for Changshengzi, it can be said that he has the highest magic power among the seven sons of Xuanzhen. Even if there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Daxia, few people can be his rivals. Even the brother of the King of Xia asked his son to worship Changshengzi as his teacher.
No matter how great Shen Lian was in his previous life, Liu Mengde couldn't think of it as being more powerful than the Seventh Son of Xuanzhen, his ancestor, but he couldn't see anything strange about Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said, "Is Xuanzhen Temple very powerful?"
As soon as he said this, Liu Mengde almost suspected that Shen Lian was a lawless person and was suspected of provocation.
Shen Lian looked at his expression and understood, and then said: "I have indeed never heard of Xuanzhen Guan."
Liu Mengde wondered: "With my previous cultivation level, I have never heard of 'Xuanzhen Guan'. Could it be that you came from somewhere other than the sea of blood? The sea of blood is terrifying and difficult to cross with immortals and Buddhas, so there is no communication." That makes sense.”
Shen Lian glanced at him and said: "So you also know about the Sea of Blood, but you didn't guess my origin correctly. Please tell me the specific situation of Xuanzhen Guan."
Liu Mengde had nothing to hide, and there was nothing to hide about Xuan Zhen Guan's situation.
When Shen Lian listened to his description, he thought that the Seven Sons of Xuanzhen were probably the best among the Qi Practitioners in this world, but the practitioners had never followed the etiquette, not to mention the top Qi Practitioners like this. How powerful was Daxia? , to actually force a person with such great power to make a compromise.
If the seven sons of Xuanzhen are all in the realm of earthly immortals, then Daxia's strength will have to impress even Shen Lian.
Based on Liu Mengde's cultivation, it can be inferred that his master Mu Zhen is at least Huan Dan or above. This shows that the seven sons of Xuan Zhen are most likely to be in the earthly immortal realm or even the heavenly immortal realm.
