Leisurely cultivating life

After taking a bath, it was completely dark, and Zhou Fan lay on the bed and slept with his clothes on.

……

The next morning, Zhou Fan got up early, and after eating the breakfast Jiang Song sent, he gathered in the courtyard with several others, waiting for Shouyi.

"Since senior brother Shouyi hasn't arrived yet, why don't we get to know each other now, and we will all be brothers and sisters of the same school in the future, how about it?" A handsome young man of moderate build with a gentle smile on his face spoke.

"I'm Lou Yehua, a native of Chongyang City, please take care of me in the future."

This is the young man surrounded by green dragons above the square yesterday, Zhou Fan thought to himself looking at Lou Yehua.

"My name is Tu Mengmei, from Cangwu City, Huiyang Prefecture." A heroic young girl in a red dress introduced herself generously.

This is Huofeng, Zhou Fan looked at Tu Mengmei.

"Lu Ming, from Zitong, Huiyang Prefecture." The boy with a stern face and a cold tone said.

Baihu, then this one is Xuanwu, Zhou Fan thought to himself.

"My name is Chang Lei, from Tianshui, Huiyang Prefecture." A boy with a resolute face and a very strong build said in a simple and honest tone, turning his head around.

"Little brother Zhen Depang, from Chongyang City, please take care of me from now on." The fat man next to Zhou Fan introduced.

"Really fat? Well, it is really fat."

"Pfft."

"Brother Zhen, your name..."

"I knew it would be like this. There's no other way. Let's just let it be the name my parents chose! Hey..." Zhen Depang said with a wry smile.

Now only Zhou Fan has not been introduced, and everyone turns their attention to him.

"Zhou Fan, from Zhoujia Village, Jiangbei, Huiyang Prefecture." Zhou Fan introduced lightly.

"You all know each other, that's okay, I don't need to introduce you to each other." Shou Yi didn't know when he appeared next to the crowd, and he didn't show up until after everyone's introduction.

"I've seen Senior Brother Shouyi!" Everyone bowed to Shouyi.

"Well, let's go, follow me to the main hall for the initiation ceremony!"

"Yes."

Following Shouyi, he came to a large hall with a golden roof and red gate. This antique style makes people feel solemn.

There is a plaque hanging on the top of the red lacquer gate, on which the four characters "Yuxu Taoist Temple" are inscribed in flying and dancing.

Entering the main hall, there are many red pillars supporting it, each of which is engraved with a circling and lifelike golden dragon, which is very spectacular.

In the middle is a statue of a god, a Taoist man dressed in feathers and holding a wishful jade in his hand. Below is the temple master and a group of disciples.

"Uncle Master, we're all here." Shouyi walked towards the temple master and saluted.

"Well, let's get started!"

"Yes, uncle."

After finishing speaking, Shouyi stood in front of Zhou Fan and the others.

"Now, the initiation ceremony is held, please stand still."

Hearing this, Zhou Fan and others stood in a row, facing Shouyi.

Shouyi first bowed to the statue, then turned around and said to Zhou Fan and the others: "I, Yuxu, advocate simplicity and don't have so many red tapes. You only need to kowtow three times to the patriarch. The three kowtows in front of the patriarch , from then on I will be a Yuxu man."

After everyone kowtowed three times, the viewer who was standing aside nodded, there was no abnormality.

It turned out that the three kowtows in front of the patriarch's seat were the last hurdle for Yuxu to accept his disciples. In front of the patriarch Yuxu, even if it was just a god statue, anyone with a different heart would have nowhere to hide in front of the god statue.

The temple master came to the crowd and said, "Okay, from now on, you will be my disciple of Yuxu Taoist Temple, old man Yu Jingcheng, from now on, please continue to call me the temple master!"

"Now, what you need to keep in mind is that if you don't have a Taoist foundation within ten years, you are not considered a 'disciple of Yuxu', not even me as a disciple of Yuxu Taoist Temple, so try your best."

When Zhou Fan and the others heard this, they couldn't help feeling cold, and even the joy of just getting started was a little bit less.

"It's difficult now, what should I do if my cultivation encounters a bottleneck in the future, ah!" Seeing the expressions of everyone, Yu Jingcheng said.

"Now, come to me to receive the Jade Slip of the Cultivation Technique. After you take it down, you will be able to gain enlightenment, so don't slack off!"

After everyone finished receiving the jade slips, Yu Jingcheng said: "Every seven days, I will be here to answer your questions, now, everyone go back!"

Hearing this, Zhou Fan and the others walked out of the hall quickly, obviously stimulated by Yu Jingcheng's words just now.

Ten years, if you don't reach the Dao foundation within ten years, you will be kicked out of Yuxu Taoist Temple.

Now, every minute is precious and cannot be wasted.

Even Zhou Fan was a little nervous. Even the Taoist temple felt that if he had to reach the Dao foundation within ten years, he would not be aimless, so hurry up.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Fan and the others, Shouyi said to Yu Jingcheng, "Uncle, how about pressing them like this? Four of them are of the Four Spiritual Body, and one is of the Innate Dao Body, and they will reach the Dao Foundation within ten years." It’s not difficult, will it be counterproductive to do so? Cultivation is all about haste makes waste.”

"Shouyi, don't worry, I know it well."

Chapter 7 Qi Refining 36 Heavy (Cultivation)

Entering his room, Zhou Fan closed the door casually and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Zhou Fan stuck it between his eyebrows according to what the master said, and suddenly, a large amount of information came into Zhou Fan's mind.

It took a while for Zhou Fan to gradually process the information in his mind. This is a supreme Qi refining technique deduced by Yuxu specially for new disciples to forge the Dao foundation.

That's why Yuxu, a sacred place of practice, has made such a big deal, specially preparing the supreme Qi refining technique for new disciples.

It also introduces some realm divisions of cultivation.

The first step of this practice is to refine qi, no matter which one it is, the beginning of this practice is to introduce qi into the body.

The qi is divided into minutes, such as the spiritual qi refined by Taoism, the literary qi of Confucianism, and the strength of martial arts...their essence is all qi.

Qi refining is divided into nine levels, and after the average person completes the nine levels, they will start to forge the Dao foundation.

On top of the ninth level of Qi refining, there is a fourth level, which is the thirteenth level of Qi refining, and the level of the first level can be lowered by a small level.

After reaching the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the enemy's Daoji is complete. At this level, he has already begun to prepare to gather the true essence of the whole body in the dantian to condense a golden pill. As the saying goes: swallow a golden pill, and I can't help it God, since then, lifespan has risen greatly.

With the Dao foundation casted by the thirteenth stage of refining Qi as the supreme Dao foundation, the road of practice in the future will be much easier.
