Chapter 400 Golden elixir preaching
Song Qingming was also a little surprised when he heard that Huang Shengxin would go into seclusion immediately after returning. He immediately thought of the reason why he wanted to go into seclusion in a hurry.
But before Song Qingming could ask, Huang Shengxin sighed and said directly: "To be honest, Fellow Daoist Song probably knows that my life is running out. This time I have already planned to go back and close the barrier of life and death. If I can't make a breakthrough, I won’t go out to meet people again.
I feel ashamed to say that I have been cultivating Taoism for more than two hundred years. The first half of my life can be said to have been smooth sailing. I have reached the peak of foundation building without experiencing many setbacks along the way. However, when I reach the level of forming pills, I have been unable to reach heaven many times. Favored by me, I have exhausted all my efforts over the past few decades and still can't get in.
Although we, the foundation-building monks, are only one step away from the golden elixir avenue, it is as out of reach as the bright moon in the sky. We don’t know how to cross this natural chasm. "
Hearing Huang Shengxin suddenly say these heartfelt words, Song Qingming and Huang Shengyue were silent for a moment. They didn't know what to say and could only look aside.
Even Huang Shengxin, the most gifted and talented monk in Qinghe County in the past century, could only say such sad words when facing the golden elixir avenue. How much hope would the two of them have?
A foundation-building monk can only live for more than two hundred years at most. If he cannot form an elixir, even if he continues to be prosperous for a hundred years, he will eventually turn into a pile of dust. What a monk seeks in the end is the chance of immortality. As the cultivation level increases, Song Qingming also felt that he was yearning for it more and more.
"Two fellow Taoists, I have sent you here. I hope you have a safe journey!" Watching the two sword lights disappear in front of his eyes, Song Qingming turned around and stepped on Feijian and quickly returned to Tuoyun Mountain.
With the departure of many monks who participated in the trade fair, the entire Tuoyun Mountain gradually became quieter than the lively atmosphere in the past few days.
Compared with the auctions secretly held by the Tiandan Alliance and the smaller trade fairs such as the Bailong Mountain Conference, the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair, which is held once in decades, is much better for the safety of the monks participating in the trade fair. Basically, there will be no Which monk would stay in Tuoyun Mountain for fear of being stared at?
After all, the Tuoyun Mountain Trade Fair was organized by Old Ancestor Chen himself. Many of the monks who came to the trade fair were personally invited by him. Whether they were greedy casual cultivators or nearby bandit cultivators, generally no one would dare to blatantly do so. Go and attack those monks who participate in the trade fair, otherwise it will be a disgrace to Tuo Yunshan, and you will have trouble with Patriarch Chen.
In the world of cultivating immortals in the north of the Wei Kingdom, if you rashly offend a golden elixir monk like Patriarch Chen, the consequences can be imagined. Even if the Patriarch himself does not need to do it himself, just the dispatch of his disciples and disciples is enough to wipe out a person like Large-scale bandit nests like Eagle's Nest Ridge have been built.
After living in a temporary cave on the mountain for another three days, Song Qingming finally received a notice from the monks sent by Fengyang De that the day for Patriarch Chen to hold a sermon was coming soon, and the location was still on the platform on the top of the mountain.
Not only Song Qingming, but also all the other monks who entered the top ten cherished this hard-won opportunity to listen to the sermon of the ancestor of Jindan. When Song Qingming arrived at the top of the mountain, none of these foundation-building monks All the omissions come here.
In addition to Song Qingming and other monks who participated in the sword discussion conference, several disciples of Chen Jinliang and some more talented disciples also came here. Everyone sat cross-legged in the open space in the middle of the platform on the top of the mountain.
Not long after, an old man with a white beard and a fairylike spirit came riding on the wind and landed directly in front of everyone.
After Chen Jinliang glanced at the many monks who were already waiting in the open space, he walked directly to a gray futon placed in front of him and slowly sat down.
"I have actually been away from Taoism for a long time in these years. It was because I saw many talented monks of your younger generation at this trade fair that I suddenly came up with the idea of opening an altar to preach.
Everyone here today is basically not far away from forming pills. I will tell you some of my experiences and insights when I formed pills. Of course, what I said is only my personal experience. As for what I can say to you. How much you can understand and how much it will help you in the future depends on your luck. "
Hearing that what Chen Jinliang was going to say was exactly what everyone wanted to know about pill formation, everyone present, including Song Qingming, pricked up their ears and did not dare to make any more noise, for fear that they would miss this Jin. Every word that Patriarch Dan said next.
Although Chen Jinliang only spoke for half an hour, many of the monks present fell into deep thought on the spot. Until the ancestor got up and left the top of the mountain, many people were still sitting there, thinking about it. Not long ago he shared some of his spiritual experiences.
When Chen Jinliang entered Taoism at a young age, he had been practicing with an experienced Taoist in the Qi refining stage. It was not until his cultivation talent gradually became apparent that he had the opportunity to become a disciple of a foundation-building monk.
Although his master also helped him a lot, as a foundation-building casual cultivator with an average reputation, his master could not get him a foundation-building pill. The foundation-building level mainly relied on Chen Jinliang. He risked his own death to get through.
The same was true when it came to forming pills. Although Chen Jinliang had some opportunities after he reached the ninth level of foundation building and obtained two spiritual objects useful for forming pills, his final success in forming pills mainly relied on His own understanding of spiritual practice.
Unlike the monk's physical body and soul that needs to be transformed to break through the foundation, the monk's elixir formation does not pose a great danger to his life. Even if the breakthrough fails, at most he will lose some vitality, and he can slowly recover after a period of conditioning.
But compared with the difficulty of foundation building breakthrough, the more difficult thing about forming pills is that there are too few spiritual objects that can assist in forming pills. Common third-level spiritual pills such as Yuchen Pill and Xuling Pill can only The probability of forming an elixir is increased by about half to 10%.
Other better third-level spiritual objects that assist in forming pills are extremely rare to see near the Fuyun Mountains. Even large Nascent Soul sects like the Xiaoyao Sect have a hard time getting one or two of them.
Because of this, when a monk breaks through the golden elixir realm, his reliance on external objects is lower than that of foundation building, and the greater impact is on the monk's understanding of his own cultivation and techniques.
Especially monks like Chen Jinliang who can successfully form elixirs as casual cultivators are basically people with excellent talents in spiritual understanding of the way of cultivation. Some of his cultivation experiences are what Song Qingming and others need most urgently.
