Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 42 The best seedling I have ever seen
It will be dawn.

But these rain clouds seem to be reluctant to leave.

The two, a big and a small, hiding from the rain under the pine tree looked confused.

"Are you hungry?"

"Ah."

"Are you sleepy?"

"Ah."

"Are you cold?"

"Ah."

"Good, me too."

Lu Xueqi nodded three times in a row, allowing Xu Zhiqiu to determine the next course of action.

The dilapidated temple in the mountains was built beside the water. It was originally intended to be a popular place of worship, but over time, it eventually fell into disrepair.

But it might as well provide a shelter for the two of them.

The mountain wind blew in through the broken wall, making the little girl shiver with cold.

Xu Zhiqiu did not waste any time. He picked up some dry firewood and straw and quickly started a fire.

He then took out some dry food and water from the bag on his back and handed them to her.

"The pancakes are damp. Toast them before eating. Otherwise, you'll get an upset stomach."

"Ah."

Lu Xueqi did as she was told obediently.

Xu Zhiqiu leaned on the haystack, untied the gourd from his waist, took a sip of monkey wine, and shook his head in satisfaction.

I was about to take another sip, but when I shook the gourd which was almost empty, I suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Ugh……"

Suddenly he sighed.

The road is long and the people are miserable, but I don’t know when these days of taking care of the baby will end.

He is not a housekeeper, so he has no experience...

"Take a nap after eating, and when you wake up, continue practicing the lessons I taught you yesterday."

"Ah."

………………

"The path of cultivation can be divided into three levels if we talk about the sequence."

"First, it is to prolong life and keep healthy."

“Second, to explore the true self and seek to be a perfect person.”

"The third is to transcend the universe and become an immortal."

……

At noon, the clouds dispersed and the sky became clear.

Lu Xueqi stood in the stance as Xu Zhiqiu requested and regulated her breathing under his guidance.

"If you want to cultivate, you have to take 'life' as your goal and study it diligently. This process will be very long."

Lu Xueqi blinked her eyelashes and suddenly asked:

"The life you mentioned... is it the same as the 'life' I thought of?"

"clever."

Xu Zhiqiu praised her agility and explained:

"Muscles, bones, skin, hair, and all visible and tangible physiological tissues are called 'life'."

"In addition, the intangible or abstract existence, including qi, spirit, and soul, is collectively referred to as 'nature'."

"There are thousands of ways in the world, but in the end, none of them can escape the way of 'life'."

"So, what I am teaching you now is the most basic method of cultivating both sex and life - standing still."

"In this way, slowly, you will feel the existence of 'Qi'."

"Ah."

Lu Xueqi nodded heavily, trying hard to maintain her standing posture.

As the sun moved westward, she had been standing there for almost an hour.

For a little girl of only eight or nine years old, this was a bit too hard.

Soon my waist and knees felt weak and my thighs were shaking.

Beads of sweat glistened on her nose, and she bit the corners of her lips.

Slowly, that little face looked more and more distressed.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhiqiu smiled and said:

"Get off the pole if you're tired. You're already pretty good at lasting this long at the beginning."

Lu Xueqi shook her head, feeling a little aggrieved.

"I can't feel the Qi you're talking about..."

"Oh!" Xu Zhiqiu laughed, "This is not like going out to buy groceries, how can it be so fast?"

"Ah, but I can guess your current state... Is it that as soon as you close your eyes, all sorts of random thoughts surge up in your mind and can't be shaken off?"

"Ah."

Lu Xueqi nodded.

Xu Zhiqiu walked behind her, pinched the Heart Purification Finger Seal with his left hand, and covered her head with his right hand. "Now I will help you to focus your mind, you follow my guidance..."

Lu Xueqi only felt a coolness pouring into the top of her head, as if all her senses and orifices had become clear.

She slowly closed her eyes, and felt a sense of tranquility taking over her heart, bringing her a faint joy.

Then, Xu Zhiqiu whispered softly:
"This thing is like sand, and distracting thoughts are like water, which will wash it into pieces. You need to calm down and feel it carefully."

"Feel the sand flowing through your body, feel it slowly condensing, right in your lower abdomen."

…………

Lu Xueqi followed his instructions and tried hard to sense the changes in her body.

Her mind seemed to sink into a dark and empty area, and all objects and sounds around her disappeared.

The only thing that can be felt is the abstract existence that cannot be touched, seen, but is actually moving.

That is the dance of life.

A stream of clear spring seemed to be slowly gathering in the lower abdomen.

Xu Zhiqiu pressed her head, yawned, and said casually:

"Don't be discouraged. This time I just want you to experience the feeling of a completely pure mind. There's no need to rush to obtain Qi. Slow is fast. Think back to the past..."

He comforted her carelessly while wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"...When I first built my foundation, it took me more than half a month to... to..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly choked.

He lowered his head stiffly and looked at Lu Xueqi in surprise.

There seemed to be a... barely perceptible breeze blowing around this girl's body?

Could it be?

Xu Zhiqiu's heart trembled, and he immediately pinched the Lingguan finger with his left hand to enhance his observation ability.

However, after seeing this, his face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

"..."

“I feel the Chi!”

Lu Xueqi opened her eyes in surprise and turned to look at Xu Zhiqiu.

But by chance I saw that he had a sad expression on his face, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

The little girl's smile froze, and she opened her big innocent eyes and asked seriously:
"Why are you crying?"

"I...I think of sad things."

Xu Zhiqiu tried to clean up the mess on his face awkwardly.

He walked to the side, held onto the pillar of the dilapidated temple, lowered his head with his eyes wide open, and kept muttering to himself.

Lu Xueqi was curious and listened with her ears perked up, but she couldn't make out anything clearly. She only vaguely heard some discouraging words like "compare people to others...compare goods to others".

In his previous life at Trinity, his junior brother Lu Jin was considered the best among his fellow disciples in terms of aptitude.

But it took him nearly a month to obtain Qi.

Xu Zhiqiu was familiar with the process of cultivation again in this life, but it took him half a month to obtain Qi.

And this girl...only two days.

Even though I am using some tricks to assist... this speed is really too fast.

Just think about it for a while,
Xu Zhiqiu felt mixed emotions.

The good news is that Lu Xueqi is a person of extraordinary talent that he has never seen in his life. If he chooses the right path for her, her future achievements will be limitless.

The sad thing is that although she is a good candidate, she is not a good candidate for Trinity.

Why do you say that?

The practice of "Three Stages of Reverse Rebirth" is different from other practices and involves great risks when practicing it.

Especially when breaking through the level, success or failure is just a matter of seconds.

If anything goes wrong, at best the foundation will be destroyed and one will become a mortal, at worst the person will become disabled or even paralyzed.

Therefore, for those who practice reverse birth, the most important thing is the word "stability" and self-knowledge.

The most important thing is to know when to stop and to retreat when it is time to retreat, and never be too aggressive.

After spending so much time together, Xu Zhiqiu already knew this girl Lu Xueqi very well.

Although this girl is quiet and introverted, she is also smart.

But deep down inside her, she is a stubborn girl.

Asking people with this kind of personality to practice reverse life is like walking on a tightrope at a high altitude.

Xu Zhiqiu could still vividly remember the senior masters in the Trinity Sect in his previous life, paralyzed and sitting in wheelchairs.

He didn't dare to gamble with Lu Xueqi.

If he destroys this excellent seedling, he will be guilty of a great crime.

pity.

Lu Xueqi got down from the stake and saw Xu Zhiqiu leaning against the beam with his head down and keeping silent. She couldn't help but worry about his condition.

I tiptoed forward and secretly looked at his situation.

"You...seem even sadder?"

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head in pain.

"I just found a million dollars, but I don't dare spend it."
