Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 18 18. Practice in the second heaven and build the foundation!

Junior Brother Lei, you have awakened the hidden dragon spirit body and completed the twelfth level of Qi Refining. You are really only one step away from building the foundation.

Wang Guiyuan's expression became solemn: But don't be impatient, especially don't underestimate the difficulties when the big realm is broken.

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

In the practice of this world, the difficulty of breaking through such a great realm as from the first to the second heaven is often more difficult than all the previous practice, and the same is true for subsequent steps from the second to the third heaven, and so on.

Because the barriers between great realms are customarily called natural chasms, they are also called spiritual disasters.

Crossing the natural chasm and experiencing disasters.

If you can't get through, you'll be seriously injured if you go crazy, or you'll be killed or your life will disappear.

Of course, you can also stop trying and stay in your current state with peace of mind.

Tianshi Mansion is a Taoist holy land with a superb inheritance and many talented disciples, so similar situations are rare.

There are many monks in small sects, small families, and small clans who are stuck in the Qi refining stage all their lives.

But then you will face the problem of aging and approaching lifespan.

The Tianshi Mansion's Zhengfa Zhenyi Dao Jing is extremely exquisite, and Lei Jun has the hidden dragon spirit body. Under normal circumstances, Wang Guiyuan is not worried that his junior brother will not be able to pass the first natural chasm.

He was mainly afraid that Lei Jun's eagerness for success would mess up his mood and affect his ability to overcome the tribulation.

Senior brother, don't worry, I understand. Lei Jun smiled.

Wang Guiyuan nodded: That's good.

After settling everything, he resumed his old career with peace of mind and played a guest role as a Taoist boy for Elder Liu.

Lei Jun then continued to focus on his own practice at his own pace.

Get up early and take a cup of Peiyuan juice to lay the foundation for the day.

I listened to Master Yuan Mobai's lectures and scriptures during morning classes and in the morning.

After lunch, take a Qi Ling Dan, light a calming incense, and silently breathe in and out to refine your Qi.

When practicing, separate a pair of warm jade walls and place them against the palms of your hands. People nourish the jade, the jade warms the spirit, the spirit nourishes the qi, and the qi refines the person. If you repeat the cycle, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

When it was time for evening classes, he summarized the questions he had learned throughout the day and then asked Yuan Mobai for advice.

After evening classes, return to your residence, take a ladle of medicinal bath mother liquor and some auxiliary medicinal materials, put them into the bathhouse in the hospital, and mix the spring water from the mountains to form a large pool of medicinal liquid.

Lei Jun sat in again, washed himself with medicinal bath, and continued to warm and breathe.

Finally, at the end of the day's practice, sleep peacefully and strengthen your foundation.

I don’t know how long the practice lasts, and time flies by.

One night a month later.

Lei Jun, who was soaking in the bathtub, suddenly rose.

He didn't jump out of the water on his own initiative.

Instead, it sits steadily and suspended on the water surface of the bath, as if sitting on a solid flat ground.

In Lei Jun's body, the originally surging true energy seemed to have turned from illusion into solidity, forming condensed magic power.

It was as if a large amount of gas had condensed through transformation and turned into a wisp of liquid.

It may seem weak, but it is far more condensed and flexible than the original Dapeng Qi.

Just a ray of mana is enough to defeat a large amount of Qi refining monks.

This is a change from quantitative to qualitative change.

Lei Jun smiled happily and walked out of the bath.

Cultivation of magic power means a great realm of cultivation, and he successfully broke through it.

From refining Qi in the first heaven to building foundation in the second heaven!

I don't think there is any danger... Lei Jun was slightly surprised.

As soon as the doubts arose in my mind, an idea flashed in my mind:

Qianlong spirit body...

A real dragon leaps into the abyss and soars into the sky.

Therefore, this initial natural chasm was a narrow escape for many people, but it could not prevent Qianlong from being born.

No wonder there are legends about top geniuses practicing rapidly.

Lei Jun looked at himself and felt quite emotional for a moment:

I wonder what Tang Xiaotang’s immortal body looks like during cultivation?

He shook his head to eliminate distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged again, and silently breathed out his luck.

Lei Jun could clearly feel that his own vitality had also become extremely strong.

My life span has increased.

Once the foundation is successfully built, the life span will be two hundred years.

Lei Jun started practicing Taoism late, and was introduced to Taoism by Xu Yuanzhen when he was eighteen years old.

Fortunately, I had various opportunities to pursue good luck and avoid bad luck, practice seriously, and successfully build the foundation in less than two years, surpassing countless other sentient beings.

Now he is nearly twenty years old. Compared with the two hundred years of life of a foundation-building monk, he seems to have a lot of time.

but……

For practitioners in this world, their life expectancy is still very little as their realm improves. Lei Jun sighed: Two hundred years is actually not much.

Because there is a very real problem before us.

From refining Qi in the first heaven to building foundation in the second heaven, the life span increases from one hundred years to two hundred years.

However, from the foundation building of the second heaven to the realm of the altar of the third heaven, the lifespan limit does not increase.

Only when one breaks through to the fourth level of Tianyuan Talisman can one's lifespan be increased again.

Although the monks in the realm of foundation building and magic altar have a life span of 200, which is significantly improved compared to the Qi refining monks, they still face the same problems.

The golden window period for Qi refining monks to practice and improve is only around the age of twenty-five.

During this period of rapid growth for Foundation Establishment monks, they reach about fifty years old.

However, starting from the age of fifty, the foundation-building monks will also enter the prime of life. Their strength will remain at its peak, but the rate of improvement will slow down greatly.

From about one hundred years old, foundation-building monks will enter the aging stage, just like Qi-refining monks when they are over fifty.

Not only will it be difficult to improve one's cultivation level, but one's energy and strength will even begin to decline.

Foundation-building monks who are over a hundred years old want to go further, but their hope is extremely slim. There have only been a few special cases throughout the ages, and the probability is much lower than one in a million.

But there is a glimmer of hope after all.

After about one hundred and fifty years old, the foundation-building monks will enter their twilight years, and there will be no hope for them anymore. Their decline and decline will accelerate rapidly, and their strength may even drop from a large realm to a small realm until the end of their lifespan.

The most uncomfortable part is that the monks at the Third Heaven Dharma Altar realm are in the same situation as the Second Heaven Foundation Establishment monks.

Therefore, if they want to continue to move forward on the road, monks must try their best to reach the fourth level of Tianyuan Talisman before the age of one hundred, in order to increase their longevity again.

In the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the dividing line between transmitting disciples and conferring disciples is generally right between the third and fourth heavens.

Considering the potential of cultivation in the future, it is best to break through to the fourth heaven within the golden window of fifty years old.

Sure enough, it fits the two words of foundation building, and he has just started on the road... Lei Jun's joy when he just broke through subsided, and his mood returned to stability.

Early the next morning, Lei Jun went to see his master Yuan Mobai as usual.

Yuan Mobai looked at him with a smile: Compared to you successfully building the foundation, I am more happy that your current state of mind remains peaceful.

Lei Jun: My disciple is young and has little knowledge. I am just influenced by you and follow your example.

Yuan Mobai smiled and nodded: Since your state of mind has returned to peace and nature, we can continue as usual.

In the morning class and morning practice, Tao Sutra and Dharma were explained as usual.

But in the afternoon and evening classes, Yuan Mobai adjusted his teaching plan.

You have successfully established the foundation. Next, just continue to cultivate steadily without being impatient.

He set up a Jiao Zhai Incense Table in the courtyard and said to Lei Jun: Besides, as a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, it's time for you to start studying the Talisman Scripture and learn to make Talisman.
