She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 47 Contemplation Method

Combining the information revealed in the previous conversation, the lame Taoist came to a terrible conclusion.

The most terrifying thing is that the conclusion that has just been derived has almost been confirmed by the lame Taoist.

"If he wasn't a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer, how could there be no trace of his fame left?"

The lame Taoist was a little dazed.

He felt a tremendous amount of pressure when he thought about the fact that he was drinking with an old antique who lived who knows how many years ago.

The tone of his voice became subconsciously more respectful.

Xie Lian didn’t have any special feelings. The lame Taoist had always been like this, sometimes bowing, sometimes respectful, sometimes polite. She was a little used to it.

It was rare to meet someone from Danxia Mountain. In addition to learning about the information about the cultivation world, Xie Lian also wanted to understand the cultivation issues that were most closely related to him.

So he asked the lame Taoist.

"Master, do you know the method of visualization?"

The lame Taoist was a little confused.

"Why do you have such doubts, Senior? Visualization is one of the mainstream cultivation schools in the cultivation world. How could I not know about it?"

Xie Lian asked again.

"Has the Taoist master ever practiced visualization?"

The lame Taoist shook his head.

"Ninety percent of the cultivators in Danxia Mountain practice the orthodox Golden Elixir Dao. The visualization method was introduced by the Western Buddhist sect 30,000 years ago. Initially, to practice this visualization method, one had to worship Buddhism, recite scriptures day and night to cultivate piety, and when the time was right, one could visualize the Buddha and enter the ranks of cultivation... Because one had to worship Buddhism, cultivators all over the world at that time were somewhat repulsive to this method, and very few people were willing to practice it. But later, masters gradually improved this method, removed the sect restrictions, and achieved the level of being able to visualize everything. As a result, this method became popular, and now it has developed into one of the mainstream cultivation systems."

The lame Taoist introduced the origins of the visualization method in great detail. I was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, I understood it.

It seems normal that Senior Xie has never heard of the visualization method, which only appeared 30,000 years ago.

After listening to the lame Taoist's introduction, Xie Lian had a deeper understanding of the method he was practicing, and nodded and said.

"Since this is a new method that only appeared 30,000 years ago, is there any difference between it and the popular cultivation methods in the past?"

The lame Taoist chuckled and said.

"Of course there is no difference. Today, visualization has become one of the mainstream methods. Many true immortals have been born. Compared with other immortals, there is no obvious difference in strength."

"Moreover, Master once said that there are a few immortals who practice the method of visualization, and their strength is much stronger than their peers."

"Because their visualization objects are different from others, it directly determines their potential!"

This touched upon the point that Xie Lian was concerned about, and he subconsciously frowned and asked.

"Master, do you know what those immortals are visualizing?"

The lame Taoist was stunned, but shook his head.

"Master never said that."

After all, he is still some distance away from the level of an immortal, so it is normal that he doesn't know.

Xie Lian was a little disappointed, but he quickly calmed down.

Unexpectedly, this look was still seen by the lame Taoist, so he asked curiously.

"Why are you interested in visualization?"

Xie Lian pointed at himself and said.

"Because I am practicing, but I encountered a problem."

practice?

The lame Taoist paused for a moment. Senior Xie actually had such a refined taste? Did he develop this interest because he saw a new cultivation method in the cultivation world of later generations?
He didn't dare to ask too much about cultivation, so he just followed what Xie Lian said and asked curiously.

"With the ability of the senior, you are still troubled?"

Xie Lian sighed and said.

"It's the problem of the object of visualization. I don't know what to visualize. The top visualization objects in the world, even a painting with divine charm, are all secrets of major sects, and I have no chance to see them."

Is it because of this?

The lame Taoist was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"It's a pity that Danxia Mountain doesn't practice visualization, so there's no top visualization object worthy of you... But I've heard Master tell me a strange story in the past, which may be able to help you a little."

Xie Lian’s heart moved.

"What kind of anecdote?"

The lame Taoist recalled a little and named a person.

"About a thousand years ago, there was a true immortal who practiced visualization. His name was Taoist Qingyu. He was not well-known in the cultivation world and was very low-key. He was a standard ascetic. He only came to Danxia Mountain to seek the Tribulation Elixir before his tribulation, so he was known by Master."

"Master and Taoist Qingyu once discussed the Dharma together for more than three months, and then he gave each other a Tribulation Pill."

"I still remember the way Master sighed with emotion at that time. He said that Taoist Qingyu was a genius and it would not be difficult for him to overcome the tribulation. I asked him out of curiosity, what kind of genius could make Master so optimistic about him? But Master said that it was because Taoist Qingyu had done something groundbreaking and created his own visualization object!"

It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through Xie Lian’s mind.

Create your own visualization! ?

This... is it possible to create it yourself?
What bothered her most now was the issue of cultivation. The heart cave had been opened up, but the purple energy in the cave was extremely picky and did not look down on ordinary objects of visualization. Not long ago, the copper tripod cloud erupted, and the purple energy became even more abundant. It was conceivable that it would be even more difficult to find a suitable object of visualization...

This matter was something that troubled Xie Lian.

Now, what the lame Taoist said opened up an unprecedented direction for her.

But Xie Lian also remembered that the “Great Freedom Visualization Method” clearly stated that the object of visualization is extremely important and should not be treated casually.

Many people have high aspirations and look down upon the objects of visualization at hand. They simply indulge in wild fantasies and make up stories, which not only fail to lead to spiritual practice, but also damage their own foundation.

This should be something that is absolutely forbidden, so how come someone can create their own practice and succeed?
“How do I create my own visualization?”

Xie Lian asked.

"This involves his own fundamental nature, so Taoist Qingyu will not elaborate. Master only knows that Taoist Qingyu seems to be the reincarnation of a certain immortal. He has some wisdom and a certain impression of the things he saw in his previous life... For example, he often dreamed of a nine-colored immortal deer in his childhood. As he dreamed of it many times, he was deeply impressed. Later, I don't know how he did it, but the nine-colored immortal deer became his object of visualization!"

The lame Taoist tried hard to recall and said every word he knew.

"It's actually still possible..."

Many thoughts flashed through Xie Lian’s mind. Although he didn’t know how Taoist Qingyu succeeded, the fact that he succeeded was very meaningful to him.

At least she knew it was possible and someone had done it successfully.

If others can succeed, then she can naturally give it a try.

Although she didn't have any strange dreams day after day, there were many images of mythical beasts and fairy beasts from Chinese legends in her mind.

If I could visualize it, it wouldn't be weaker than the Nine-Colored Fairy Deer, right?
"Oh, right, I remembered one more thing. Master also said that Taoist Qingyu was very good at painting and always carried brushes and ink with him... I wonder if this is related to this matter."

The lame Taoist priest revealed another key piece of information.

"Painting?"

Xie Lian seemed to be thinking about something.
