Chapter 18 Cultivation Realm
The next morning, before the sun had risen, Gu Xifeng was dragged out of the quilt by Uncle Sun. He sat down at the table sleepily and began to recite poetry..
West Wind is very smart, especially strong memory, basically can achieve photographic memory, so Uncle Sun only need to explain the contents of the book clearly.
Although he saved a lot of effort, it also made Uncle Sun's prepared ruler useless. Looking at the sinister ruler, Gu West Wind felt a wave of fear..
"Uncle Sun, if I were stupid and couldn't remember books, you would really be willing to hit me..
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xifeng still asked the question in his heart..
"Why don't you fight? If you can't memorize books, you have to fight. If you don't study hard, you have to fight.".
"Uncle Sun said a ruler hit the back of the west wind..
"Aiyo, Uncle, you really hit me. How can you bear to hit a child?.
"The West Wind is in pain, covering his back and groaning..
"West Wind, let me tell you something. You chose your own path. In the future, no matter when you are learning literature or martial arts, put away your sloppy personality..
"Uncle Sun, I know, next time be gentle, be gentle.".
Gu Xifeng secretly stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly to Uncle Sun..
"I don't think it's heavy enough. I can still stick out my tongue. Try hitting my tongue next time! Cough cough..
"Sun Zheping coughed again because he was excited..
"Don't dare, don't dare, quickly learn seriously, stop joking..
Gu Xifeng shivered, quickly put away his smile, straightened his back and continued to read..
After reading in the morning and eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Uncle Lu, Gu Xifeng went to the courtyard and was surprised to find that his fence had turned into a tall brick wall overnight..
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Sun, did you stay up all night?.
"Let's not worry about what we should do," Uncle Sun said seriously, pretending to wave a non-existent ruler, scaring Gu West Wind..
"West Wind, stop talking nonsense. From now on, we will teach you martial arts cultivation and learn it seriously. Only by laying a solid foundation can you reach a higher realm..
Uncle Lu gestured for Gu Xifeng to stop talking. Seeing West Wind nod, he patiently explained..
"There are many cultivation systems in Jianghu. The most common ones are internal cultivation, external cultivation, Taoist Qi cultivation, and Buddhist meditation..
"Each cultivation system can be roughly divided into five stages. The initial stage is the simplest. Those who have just stepped into the cultivation stage are all at this stage. The initial stage is only new to cultivation. The difference in strength between them and ordinary people is not big. It is common to fight to the death and be killed by ordinary people..
"The initial state of the four systems of inner, outer, Tao and interpretation is called Ming Jin, Body Forging, Foundation Building and Perception respectively.".
"As long as you have good aptitude and good cultivation methods, you can quickly enter the second stage of the entry-level cultivation. Only then can you be considered a true cultivator.".
"This is a stage of laying the foundation for cultivation. The foundation is not hard to lay, and the cultivation building will collapse before it is built high.".
"The four systems mentioned just now are called innate, tempering, practicing, and compassion.".
"It is worth mentioning that the first two realms of the Shi family have no increase in combat power, and even when they reach the third realm, they only have some protective divine arts.".
"Isn't it dangerous for the young monks to encounter enemies?" Gu Xifeng was a little confused when he heard this..
"The Shi family advocates peace and will not act rashly if necessary. Monks who have not reached the third realm of the Shi family's cultivation alone are not allowed to go down the mountain alone..
"Moreover, most monks practice the method of external body refinement, releasing family desires, and the monks who concentrate on cultivation practice faster than ordinary people.".
"So, even if you really meet a young monk, don't underestimate him. You may not be able to beat him.".
"Well, I see, a lion fights a rabbit with all his might, and I will not underestimate the enemy.".
Little West Wind nodded his head, clenched his fists in a horse stance, and sent out several straight punches..
" Let's continue on to the next realm. The third realm is called advancement. To be able to reach this realm is considered to be one in a hundred. At this time, cultivators can be considered to have some small achievements. One person can easily defeat ten or twenty ordinary young men..
”:.
"The realm of refinement is called external release, coagulation, core formation, and merit..
"The fourth realm is called the Great Completion Realm, which is also commonly known as the Grandmaster Realm. At this realm, even the kings of various countries will treat each other with courtesy. It is the mainstay of a country. Now, your uncle and I used to be at this realm.".
"Uncle Sun used to be, what about now?".
Little West Wind looked at Sun Zheping with some sadness..
"Put away your disgusting eyes. I'm fine now..
"Sun Zheping glared at Gu Xifeng discontentedly..
"Old Sun, don't scare the child..
Lu Zhengliang waved his hand to Sun Zheping and continued to turn to Gu Xifeng..
"West Wind, your Uncle Sun risked his life to save you from the Imperial Palace. He fell two realms in a row. Even after three years, he can only reach the elite realm with all his strength now. It's hard to step into the grandmaster realm again..
Gu Xifeng's eyes were a little wet, and he was about to say something when Sun Zheping glared back..
"Old Lu, continue to tell this kid. Don't mention the past..
"The sun raised his voice and gave Lu Zhengliang a wink..
"Alright, alright, let's continue. The Great Completion Realm is called Transformation, Marrow Cleansing, Nascent Soul Formation, and Vajra. When you reach the Grandmaster Realm, you can already use part of the power of Dao..
As he spoke, Lu Zhengliang produced a powerful force in his hand. His internal force gradually transformed into a kitchen knife. There was an indescribable magical power on the kitchen knife..
" Is the strange power on it the power of Dao?" Gu Xifeng's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise..
"That's right, this is Dao power. West Wind, you can actually sense it so quickly. Not bad. It seems that you are close to Dao. When you cultivate to the later stage, you will get twice the result with half the effort..
"Gu Xifeng scratched his head in embarrassment..
" Since we're talking about the power of Dao, we can talk about the fifth realm, Dao Transformation and Saint Realm! This is the highest realm of cultivation currently recognized. It's said that Dao Transformation is the comprehension of Dao. All systems have the same goal, and the final realm is Dao Transformation Realm.".
"This realm can transform the Tao into its own use, further grasp the power of the Tao, and possess unpredictable abilities. The biggest difference between saints and ordinary cultivators is that they can fly in the air, like immortals, and are no longer bound by the earth.".
"There is a more incredible way for saints to cultivate besides cultivation, to transform Tao with skills!""This skill includes both skills and skills, such as becoming a saint with knife skills, becoming a saint with spear skills, becoming a saint with painting, and becoming a saint with zither.".
"Because the skills and techniques are too complicated, it is not easy to classify them into levels, but I have also divided them into five levels according to other systems: skill, imitation, understanding, heavenly workmanship, and transformation!".
"Comparing the practitioner to a ship, power is the oar that propels the ship forward, skill is the rudder that controls its direction, both are cultivated, twice the result with half the effort, there is a problem on one side, and the ship will sink into the sea at any time.".
" The transformation of skills into Dao is a different kind. If you don't cultivate other systems, you have no combat strength before you transform into Dao. You're just an ordinary person. Once you transform into Dao, like a carp entering the Dragon Gate, your strength is far above that of a grandmaster. However, due to lack of combat experience and weak body, your combat strength will be slightly inferior to that of saints of other systems..
"West Wind, not all realms are involved. There are many factors that affect a battle. There are countless examples of weak defeating strong. In the future, you must be more cautious when facing enemies. Do not underestimate the enemy.".
"The West Wind is a promise..
Finally, Uncle Sun gave West Wind an internal cultivation manual for him to comprehend and gave him some pointers..
Uncle Lu taught him how to cultivate his body. Obviously, the two hoped that Gu Xifeng could cultivate both internally and externally..
