My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 4 It's Really Necessary
Xu Mo stood outside the courtyard, watching Yi An leave from afar. He only returned to his own courtyard after he could no longer see Yi An.

Xu Mo already had a clear idea of ​​his senior brother Yi An.

He only saw the other party's potential. It was very likely that the other party would become an elder in the future, and who knew for sure that he would be able to protect one of his aliases in the future.

As for the current vest, the other party certainly can't help.

They have already exchanged communication jade talismans, and for now they will just establish good relations and build closer ties.

When I need to use one of my aliases in the future, I will bring the alias’ letters or suicide notes to him.

Senior brother, given the relationship between you and me, I think you won’t refuse to take care of my offspring, right?
After putting Yi An's matter aside, Xu Mo sat cross-legged in the courtyard, calmed himself down, and thought about what to do next.

He had planned long ago the goals that this pseudonym needed to achieve after joining the sect.

Since he wanted to become the Grand Patriarch of the Tianxuan Sect, he must not fall behind in cultivation.

Therefore, all his vests actually have only one purpose:
That is to do your best to improve your own cultivation.

If his cultivation level improves quickly enough so that he is not eliminated by the sect, then each of his aliases can live to the end of their lives.

He wouldn't have to change his vest so frequently.

When his cultivation level is improved in the future, he may only need to change his identity after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, all the problems now ultimately come down to insufficient cultivation.

The cultivation system of the Cang Gu Continent is not like the one described in Xu Mo's novel in his previous life, such as refining Qi, building foundation, forming elixir, and forming Nascent Soul.

In this world, there are five steps to the first level of cultivation.

The first step is to adapt the human body to the laws of heaven and earth and complete the "foundation building."

After completing the foundation building, one begins to "refine Qi."

To put it simply, you need to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into your own vital energy, thus completing the small Tianchi in the human body.

The Qi Refining stage is not difficult. It can be completed in three to ten years at the fastest, or thirty to fifty years at the slowest.

Xu Mo had already completed Qi training in his last alias, and it took him more than eighty years to complete the "foundation building".

From this we can judge that although his qualifications are a bit poor, they are not as bad as imagined.

The reason why "100 Days of Foundation Building" was so much slower than that of ordinary people was simply because he was wearing a body and had more turbid air in his body than the people in this world.

Whether this is true or not, at least he thinks so.

The next stage of Qi training is to nourish the spirit.

Just as the literal meaning suggests, at this stage one needs to sense one's own "spirit", and then grow stronger and transform into the flower of the primordial spirit, or the flower of the primordial spirit.

Unlike the Qi Refining stage, which almost every practitioner can complete, the Spirit Nourishing stage is a checkpoint in the first realm of cultivation.

This stage is mainly about sensing "God", which many people cannot achieve in their entire life.

Xu Mo has also been stuck at this level for over twenty years without making any progress.

For him, who received scientific education in his previous life, "God" is too mysterious.

He knew that "God" was the primordial spirit, consciousness, mental power, etc.

But knowing is one thing, but he just can't sense the "God" that draws him out.

In this first stage of cultivation, the only difficulty is the stage of nourishing the spirit.

As long as the spiritual practice is complete, the next stage is to condense the essence, energy and spirit again, so that the body becomes one.

The next stage is to condense the three flowers and five qi and condense an inner elixir within the body.

This is what is meant by "Once I swallow a golden pill, my destiny is in my own hands."

This stage is also known as the "Five Steps of Dao Refining."

Both of these stages can be completed slowly over time.

Others are unable to break through from the stage of nourishing the spirit to the later stages because they do not have enough lifespan, but this is not a problem at all for Xu Mo, as he has plenty of lifespan.

In other words, for Xu Mo, as long as he passes the "nourishing the spirit" stage, he can at least ensure that his cultivation reaches the perfection of the Dao Refining Realm.

As for the realm after the Dao Refining Realm, it is still a bit far away from him, so he has not considered it.

Cultivation requires one to take one step at a time. The current problem is how to get through the stage of "nourishing the spirit". Will he be stuck at this stage for the rest of his life?
……

The next morning, Xu Mo finished his training, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and shook his head in distress.

Another fruitless night.

It seems that it will take a long time to break through to the state of nourishing the spirit.

Then he took a deep breath, shook his head, and calmed himself down.

Anyway, he has plenty of time, so just keep calm and take it slow.

The current primary goal is to find a tool who can help me practice in peace.

He had investigated several targets before, and originally planned to continue looking for Deacon Fang under this pseudonym, and then slowly get in touch with him to prepare for the next pseudonym.

Now that plans have changed, I can only find a way to find someone else to replace him.

Oh, it would be great if Yi An could be promoted to elder right away.

Xu Mo was just thinking about it when suddenly there was a strange movement on the communication jade talisman.

He clicked on it out of curiosity, and it was the message from Yi An.

After seeing Yi An's message, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then he replied with a message.

Then he came to the small courtyard, sat on the stone bench and waited quietly for a moment.

Not long after, the communication jade talisman flashed with a faint white light.

Seeing this, Xu Mo silently removed the protective formation in the courtyard, opened the door, and just in time saw Yi An outside.

"Senior Brother Yi." Xu Mo greeted silently.

"Junior Brother Xu." Yi An returned the greeting.

Xu Mo led Yi An into the courtyard and sat him down, then made him a pot of spiritual tea.

Then he asked, "Brother, can you tell me about the surprise you prepared for me?"

Yi An took a sip of tea and said, "Junior brother said yesterday that he loves the profession of spiritual plant master and has been studying hard, but he has no famous teacher to teach him.

I have always kept this in mind.

There is an opportunity here now. I think you should have heard of Elder Ouyang from Lingmiao Peak.

He has recently been cultivating a new elixir and has opened up an experimental medicine garden. He needs a few Taoist children to help.

I think if you, Junior Brother, could work under him, it would be helpful for your growth as a spiritual plant master.

However, Elder Ouyang’s experiment may take a longer time.

Once you join, it will be equivalent to a long-term mission, which may take decades at the fastest, hundreds of years at the slowest, or even longer, and you will not be able to leave.

I wonder what you think, Junior Brother? If you are interested, I can recommend it to you."

Xu Mo's expression changed when he heard this, and he felt a little subtle.

Originally, his communication with Yi An was in preparation for his future vest.

I didn't expect to get a surprise suddenly.

Listen, what kind of confidant is this?

You can complete a task for a long time without going out, and the other party is an elder.

This task is simply customized for me.

He also knew that Elder Ouyang was a spiritual plant master who was said to be among the best in the entire Lingmiao Peak.

At his current level, he couldn't even get in touch with such a person.

Now, my social circle has expanded at once.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo's eyes turned more kindly towards Yi An.

He quickly responded, "That's really interesting. Please recommend it to me, Senior Brother."
