It is said that there is another saying in the selection of "Four Heroes, Five Talents and Seven Scholars". The "Four Heroes" are naturally the top four in this competition, and Yao Yong is one of the "Four Heroes".
The "Five Shows" are the five youngest among the top sixteen, four of them are women, and they are the only four women who entered the top sixteen in this competition. Shi Lingling was furious about this and personally Find the only man among the "Five Talents", a cultivator who has just reached the ninth level of blood refining, defeat him in public, and win the title of "Five Talents".
The rest are the "seven fiercers", and those who have good things ranked Lu Ping first among the "seven fiercers".
Lu Ping is dismissive of this, but he has nothing to do with his fame.
Lu Ping has great respect for Liu Xianchang, especially after entering the late stage of blood refinement, Liu Xianchang carefully guided him several times. After he broke through in the big competition and was injured, Liu Xianchang was his protector, and he used a precious top-grade recovery pill to stabilize the injury. Lu Ping was rescued from the brink of collapse.
Liu Xianchang's three-day explanation was rich in content, and Lu Ping gained a lot, even a little shocking.
On the first day, Professor Liu Xianchang's practice experience, from the eighth to the ninth level of blood refining, various problems encountered, and various situations that need to be paid attention to, Liu Xianchang explained them one by one, including various preparations for the hemolysis period.
If the gap between monks in the blood refinement period is not too obvious, the hemolysis period is a watershed. The difference lies in the skills practiced by each monk, the cultivation resources possessed, the wisdom, determination and courage to face difficulties, and even luck.
This is a path of rapid and courageous advancement, and a little slack and hesitation will result in narrowing or even cutting off the path of cultivation.
After finishing the explanation on the first day, Lu Ping always had a question in his mind: "What exactly is cultivation?"
Lu Ping thought for a whole night, turning thousands of reasons for cultivating in his mind, and finally he stopped hesitating, and his eyes became clear again.
When Liu Xianchang asked the next day, Lu Ping only had two words: Longevity!
Liu Xian said: "Is this the only reason? But there are other reasons?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the disciples had many and complicated thoughts in their minds. No matter which one is a feasible reason, but in the end, only this one is the most practical and the most immortal. Other reasons will follow. With the passing of time, only this reason lasts forever."
Liu Xianchang laughed "haha" for a while: "What a long-lived one, a child can be taught!" After that, he looked at Lu Ping with complicated and difficult eyes for a while, with joy, jealousy, memories, and bitterness...
However, Lu Ping didn't know that this was a state of mind test for the disciples who had reached the eighth level in the True Spirit Academy. The purpose, root, and reason of each monk's practice were different, and each monk even had a lot of thoughts. Now monks may not be aware of it, or even feel like making a fuss out of molehills, but with the improvement of cultivation and the growth of mood, every thought will turn into an obsession, and every obsession is a fetter for future practice. After thousands of years, once The reasons for his practice may be shattered as time goes by, and may be unrealistic. These thoughts are too entangled, and they may even turn into demons, threatening the lives of monks.
Only by establishing an unchanging and stable idea of practice will it be a guarantee for a monk to go further.
Lu Ping doesn't know this now, maybe after many years, with the improvement of Lu Ping's cultivation base, he will realize the significance of Liu Xianchang's question today.
The content of the second day was about the experience and precautions of the monks in the blood refinement period to hit the hemolysis period, and even the cultivation method of the hemolysis period. This part made Lu Ping a little dumbfounded.
Liu Xianchang looked at Lu Ping's expression, and said with a smile: "Why, do you find it difficult to cultivate now?"
Lu Ping nodded and said: "Although the disciple is determined to go on no matter how difficult it is, he never thought that it would be such a cultivation process."
Liu Xian said: "Do you know how many chances blood refining monks have to enter the hemolysis period?"
Lu Ping said: "Choose one out of a hundred."
Liu Xianchang asked again: "Does the cultivator of forging alchemy know?"
Lu Ping shook his head, and Liu Xian said: "It's hard to pick one in a thousand miles, and every step of the alchemy period is in danger, and every step is related to the final achievement of cultivation. Even this immortal leader knows very little. There are tens of thousands of outer disciples, and only a few thousand disciples in the hemolysis period. This is because the life span of monks in the hemolysis period is twice as long as that in the blood refining period. , it is said that they don’t care about dozens, as for the legendary Patriarch Fa Xiangqi, even I have never seen it, I just know that there must be such a great power in our sect.”
At this time, Lu Ping had already heard that his heart was surging, and his heart was filled with infinite yearning for those masters.
Seeing Lu Ping's expression, Liu Xianchang knew that he was already absent-minded, so he said: "I'm here today, I'm tired too, you just need to remember everything you said today."
The content of the explanation on the third day was the worldly knowledge of the cultivation world, the precautions in the cultivation world, the situation in the cultivation world, etc. Some even Liu Xianzhang knew very little, but Lu Ping listened to the more questions, and Liu Xianzhang stopped Lu Ping from asking questions. , said: "The world of practice is vast, and even I can't know everything, I can only give you the basic things, and you can understand and experience by yourself in the future."
After the day's explanation, Liu Xianchang took out two jade slips and said: "These two jade slips, one of which records all kinds of treasures that can be used in the cultivation world, are all summed up by the seniors of the sect who have traveled all over the world over the years. Although it is not complete, it is enough for you and other cultivators in the blood refining period. The other part is the customs and customs of the cultivation world recorded by the predecessors of the past, and traveling is essential."
Lu Ping took the two pieces of jade slips, and pondered: "Immortal Chief, does the sect need me to wait for the disciples to go out to perform tasks, otherwise how could we make such thorough preparations?"
Liu Xianchang was taken aback, "haha" smiled and said: "You are smart, but you are not completely right. The sect has always had a rule that all disciples who have cultivated to the eighth level of blood refining have to travel abroad. Although there are no other hard and fast rules about this, it is also necessary for the sect. Disciples of the sect try to be fully prepared when they go out. It has always been the case. There is nothing special about you waiting this time. After all, you are the future expectation of the sect. Maybe one of them will be the future master of the Dharma phase and the pillar of the sect. Although there are other things intervening once, but I am not too clear about the specific situation, you just wait for the news from the sect."
Although Liu Xianchang's words confirmed what Lu Ping thought in his heart, Lu Ping's doubts actually deepened.
Lu Ping got out of Liu Xianchang's hut, recalling what Liu Xianchang said, he laughed sadly. Even Liu Xianchang didn't know much about such things, and it was obviously a means of forging alchemy real people or even more powerful and powerful methods. What can the blood friars do for these characters? Even if you are a little fussy, how can you get out of their chess game with your own cultivation base and obedient obedience
The only thing I can do is step-by-step penance, so that I have an extra chance to save my life in the schemes of big shots.
