Chapter 1097: What’s missing in foundation building
After more than half a year of all-round instruction from all the masters, Lin Fan today is no longer the Wu Xia Amon she was before. She can clearly sense and judge her own realm.
Just when she thought that cultivating immortals was a process of continuously accumulating cultivation, breaking through realms, accumulating again, and making breakthroughs again, she was called to the head meeting hall again.
All the masters gathered together again. The last time there were so many people was on the day of teacher selection.
Lin Fan looked at everyone's solemn and melancholy expressions, and his mind was already thinking about the sect's crisis and the disaster of annihilation. As a result, Chengkong gave her an unexpected result.
"You want me to go down the mountain to practice?" Lin Fan was rarely surprised.
In the past six months, she felt like a sponge that could never be saturated, using every time and opportunity to continuously absorb all kinds of knowledge.
Her cultivation is directly proportional to her skills, and she accumulates them at a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people. But the masters seemed to attribute this specialness to the "Chaos Spirit Root". Every time they were surprised, they had greater expectations.
And she just took advantage of this ready-made excuse to openly expose her differences in front of all the masters, without any need to hide them.
Wu Yi and Guan Ying could no longer keep up with her progress, but they were also infected by her and became very involved.
And unknowingly, it led to the involution of Bai Yufeng and Xiaomei Peak, and then spread to the entire Changtianmen. Everyone, from the elders in charge to the disciples and servants, all worked harder in an inexplicable atmosphere.
Lin Fan felt that if she could show such courage during the college entrance examination, she should have a place in Qingbei and even the Ivy League.
After knowing that the gap was unattainable, the two women who lived and ate with Lin Fan, apart from focusing on their own cultivation, spent almost all their energy trying to infect Lin Fan and soften her character.
The effect was definitely there, but in the intense study atmosphere and tight schedule, Lin Fan's changes were not as obvious as they expected.
It's just that compared to the "dull" look of being indifferent to everything at the beginning, in Jingchen's words, "I finally look a little smarter, and I'm not afraid of others imitating me and making me stupid"...
Chengkong sat in the high position of the leader this time and did not come down.
He looked at Lin Fan and sighed softly: "Sure enough, everything has its pros and cons. You are practicing too fast and you are about to build a foundation. But your experience and knowledge are very lacking. Can't you go to the mortal world to make up for it?"
Lin Fan blinked, and then he remembered his character - a village girl who grew up in the mountains and countryside, fled all the way, and accidentally ran into Changtianmen in order to make ends meet...
However, she really has little experience in the world of Po'nu, and Chengkong is not wrong.
"Is increasing knowledge a necessary condition for foundation building?" Lin Fan asked.
She knew that she was in a special situation and had a short time to get started. If she had not had to go, the group of masters in the hall would not have allowed her to be at such a low level, out of their sight, and easily involved in danger.
No wonder everyone was melancholy. It seemed that they were worried about her, but they had to let her go.
Chengkong nodded.
"Now that you have completed your Qi practice, you should know that the process of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, storing it in the limbs and bones, and gathering it towards the sea of energy in the Dantian is essentially a process of refining the body and transforming it into a process that is more suitable for the wandering spiritual energy. .”
Lin Fan nodded.
Breakthroughs in Qi training actually break through the threshold of the integration of meridians throughout the body. This is the most basic and entry-level realm of cultivating immortals.
If the body has not been transformed into a state suitable for spiritual energy, naturally there will be no other things to talk about. The process from Qi training to foundation building is a process of absorbing spiritual energy, storing spiritual energy, accumulating it in the body, and further transforming the body.
When the spiritual energy is fully stored, the body will also be transformed at the same time. This is the legendary Marrow Cleansing Book of Changes, and this is the state that Lin Fan is about to face.
After undergoing the Marrow Cleansing and I Ching, a mortal's physique will be greatly improved, and then he will start building the foundation.
Building the foundation, building the foundation, is building the foundation of the great road.
The Tao is a Tao that practitioners pursue and implement throughout their lives based on their understanding and understanding of all things in the world.
The Taoism here is not the broad technical categories such as Kendo and Fu Dao that Lin Fan has been learning, but an executive belief similar to a motto and spiritual pursuit.
Different people will understand different ways according to different circumstances.
For example, Le Zhengyuan Qingxiu's "Wrathful Sword Way"; his master's failed goal of "Ruthless Way"; Li Chuanxiu's "Xia Dao"; Zhao Yun's "Natural Way" and so on.
Foundation building cannot be said to be good or bad, but the differences in Taoism will affect all aspects of the future and will also have a huge impact on cultivation.
Therefore, if we say that practicing Qi is to make the body reach the standard, it also allows the Reiki to have a suitable place to exercise. Foundation building is the process of clearing your brain and letting you know what direction to work towards.
After the Tao method is confirmed and the cultivation level continues to accumulate, the next step is to condense the golden elixir in the Dantian.

Entering the golden elixir realm, being able to fly with a sword, and refining the magic weapon of one's destiny, only then can one truly embark on the journey of cultivating immortality.
"So you know what you are missing, right?" Chengkong said helplessly, "Other disciples need at least five years from Qi training to foundation building. They have enough time to understand, become familiar with, think about, and form themselves in their minds. For them, foundation building is just entering a higher level. Although the road is not fully formed, there are already various traces deeply rooted in their hearts, just waiting for an opportunity to come true. "
"And you..." He just sighed, but was overtaken by Jingchen, who couldn't stand his slow speech.
"Lin Fan, you don't have much knowledge to begin with. When you first entered the house, you didn't know a single big Chinese character." Jingchen spoke quickly and urgently with a small mouth, "All you know about this world is what we taught you. Skills, and the books you read in the library, of course, these also belong. There are people who can understand the Tao of all things in the world, but you are like a frog sitting in a well. No matter how powerful you are, you can only see the sky at the mouth of the well. In fact, you can only see what the sky is like. You can only know it if you go out of the well and see it with your own eyes.”
"The heaven and earth are vast and all things are diverse. Even if we, as the first sect, have many rare treasures, we dare not boast that we can cover them all." Li Chuan also nodded, "What's more, when you enter the secular world, you will see more than just wonders. Jane, there are many kinds of people’s hearts.”
"People's hearts?" Lin Fan looked at Li Chuan.
"The Tao comes from the heart." Li Chuan said with worry, "Compared to dead things, the ever-changing human heart is the most unpredictable crisis. But danger is usually more likely to inspire potential and adventure, creating more possibilities. So Although we are worried about your trip, we still want you to experience it yourself and find your future path.”
The elders knew the importance of being well-informed, and although they could not personally protect him, they had arranged follow-up arrangements for Lin Fan.
Countless spiritual treasures, spiritual weapons, spiritual talismans, and spiritual stones were filled into storage bags one by one and handed out.
In addition, the companions who went together for the experience were also carefully selected candidates.
Nanyao also handed her a pair of silver earrings, which were small bell-shaped pendants, but they did not ring.
It is said that it can disguise her as a magic weapon with five spiritual roots. As long as one is on her body, she cannot see through it even if she is distracted.
Lin Fan put it on on the spot. I went to hold the spiritual ruler again, and sure enough, only the five-color spiritual roots with bright colors were left.
"Okay." Chengkong waved his hand, "Go back and pack up, get some rest early, and set off tomorrow morning."
