Chapter 7: Containing Spiritual Seeds and Forging the Foundation of Dao

On this side, Zhong Cang and Li Yan were talking, and on the other side, a young man named Hong Zhi was struggling to get up from the ground.

However, being seriously injured and being beaten in person made him accumulate a lot of anger in his chest. When he struggled to get up from the ground, he looked at Zhong Cang with resentment and roared with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"Zhong Cang, I won't let you go..."

"That's enough! Keep quiet!"

Seeing the peaceful and elegant Yun Mo Heart Lake in chaos, Vice President Qin Xiuye, who was sitting at the head, finally couldn't help it. He shouted with magical power, making everyone afraid to speak.

Qin Xiuye ​​nodded in satisfaction at the quiet and well-behaved appearance of the crowd. Then, the old Taoist turned his gaze to Hong Zhi and snorted coldly, "Find a seat and sit down. The lecture is about to begin."

Hong Zhi was somewhat dissatisfied with this treatment.

"Master Dean, he hit me..."

"Asshole, do you think I'm blind? Can't you see that you provoked me first? Get out of here!"

After refusing like this, Hong Zhi, who was constantly being complimented, froze in surprise.

However, he didn't dare to lose his temper with the vice president. In the end, he could only look at Zhong Cang with anger in his eyes.

"It's all your fault. Just wait. When I become a powerful Dharma cultivator, I will never let you go."

Zhong Cang saw Hong Zhi's cruelty, and this made his eyes become deep.

……

After a lot of drama, everyone finally chose their seats.

Thanks to the slap and kick before, everyone knew that Zhong Cang was not someone to be trifled with, and was not someone who would swallow one's anger. Therefore, no one bothered him anymore, which allowed Zhong Cang to occupy a relatively good seat... under a tall ginkgo tree.

As Zhong Cang's followers, Li Yan and Yan Yanyan can also practice around the ginkgo tree.

However, at this moment, there was no joy on their faces, but instead they were filled with worry.

Zhong Cang saw this, but he was in no mood to pay attention to it.

Qin Xiuye's sermon began.

He was not like other great masters who would speak in flowery language and talk about golden lotuses emerging from the ground. He also did not speak of difficult and abstruse words like “the Tao can be spoken, the name can be named”. What he said was very practical and easy to understand.

"In the first class, I will explain to you the different levels of cultivation."

"To cultivate, the first thing we need to do is sense spiritual energy, then guide it into the body. The third step is to use spiritual energy to warm the body... The physical body is the foundation that supports everything we do. Therefore, in Taoism, the physical body is very important and cannot be neglected."

"And these first three realms are therefore called Sensing, Attracting Qi, and Accumulating Spirit... Of course, some people also call it a single realm, called Accumulating Spirit Seed."

"The nurturing of the spirit seed is related to the foundation of your cultivation. It is extremely important. In the following cultivation, you must not rush, but strive to nurture the spirit seed described in your own cultivation method to a perfect level. Only in this way can you glimpse a higher realm."

"A low-quality spiritual seed cannot produce good fruit."

"Of course, the cultivation of the Spirit Seed will be done after you obtain the technique. Before that, you must first learn meditation from me, learn to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and draw that energy into your body. Once you have mastered these, you can go to the Taoist Scripture Pavilion to choose a technique, and then follow the instructions to nurture your own Spirit Seed."

After saying this, Vice President Qin Xiuye ​​thought about teaching everyone how to meditate.

However, before he could do so, a curious voice sounded from below.

"Dean, Mr. Dean, what realm is it after the Soul Seed Condensation?" "Yes, I heard that some people can call the wind and rain. What realm can be achieved by that?"

Everyone's curiosity about the next realm made Qin Xiuye ​​shake his head and laugh.

"You haven't even achieved the ability to sense spiritual energy yet, yet you're already thinking about the later realms. That's a bit too ambitious. However, this isn't a secret. I'll tell you about the later realms."

After drinking a cup of tea to moisten his throat, he finally spoke, "After nurturing the spirit seed, you will forge the Dao foundation. This Dao foundation is the foundation on which you will carry everything. Once you have forged the Dao foundation, you will no longer be Dao children, but can be called Daoists or Feathered Priests. At that time, the authorities will issue you identity certificates, register you, and provide you with a salary."

"Dao foundation is very important and is divided into three levels: human level, earth level, and heaven level. These are the three grades of Dao foundation. If you forge a human-level Dao foundation, you can only practice on your own like a casual cultivator."

"Those with a ground-level foundation can be recruited by colleges and major wealthy families."

"As for the Heavenly Dao Foundation..." At this point, he imagined for a moment before continuing, "If you can forge a Heavenly Dao Foundation, even the powerful and wealthy will look upon you differently, and may even marry their daughters to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of people sitting below immediately became excited.

Especially the boys, they are all full of energy.

After a satisfied look, Qin Xiuye ​​thought of something else and snorted unhappily, "It's just that a good foundation is difficult to forge. And to forge a foundation, not only does it require spiritual roots, talent, and resources, but it also depends on one's own will and spirit."

"Some people have the world in their hearts, and naturally they can forge a strong foundation of Tao. Others limit their vision to the fields. Such narrow-minded people can only forge a foundation of Tao for human character."

Upon hearing this, many people immediately turned their attention to Zhong Cang. Obviously, they all heard the hint from the experienced Qin Xiuye.

Zhong Cang also understood who Qin Xiuye ​​was referring to, but his expression did not change much, and he was even a little happy.

"The fact that Daoji is actually related to one's aspirations is a good thing for me. In terms of aspirations, the people here, even the educated children of the rich and powerful, are not as good as me."

It's not that he is arrogant, but as far as he knows, most people of this era want to stand out, and at most, they want to rebel and become emperor.

As for Zhong Cang, his values ​​in his previous life made it easy for him to choose lofty ambitions.

For example, to ensure that everyone in the world has enough to eat, this ambition, like Shennong's, will definitely enable him to build a strong foundation for Taoism.

In addition, there is also the construction of a perfect and harmonious ecosystem, or through the way of plants, allowing the entire human race to ascend and evolve.

For example, through plants, you can activate the consciousness of a planet and make it a living planet, while you yourself become the planet manager and wander among the galaxies.

"It's easy to come up with a lofty ambition, but the hard part is how to execute it. And forging a strong foundation of Tao is definitely not something that can be accomplished simply by daydreaming..."

While Zhong Cang was lost in thought, Qin Xiuye ​​had already begun to talk about the later realms at the request of a group of students.

"Forging the foundation of the Dao is naturally not the end of cultivation, it is just the beginning."

"This foundation-building realm is divided into three sub-realms: practicing evil spirits, condensing罡, and integrating罡煞 into one."

"The human body is limited, but the universe is infinite. The foundation of the Tao forged by our mind, energy and spirit is only our personal Tao, and individuals can be in harmony with the universe. By integrating the Gang and practicing the Sha, we can further strengthen our Tao foundation."

"When the Dao foundation is strengthened to the limit, the next step in cultivation is to cultivate the spirit. Cultivating the spirit and refining one's own Dharma image. The Dharma image realm is divided into three levels: virtual image, real image, and Dharma image... Of course, this step is very far away from us."

Talking about the Dharma Realm, he explained to everyone how powerful the future realm would be, which aroused the interest of the Taoist children. Then, the old Taoist Qin Xiuye ​​stopped elaborating on the future realm and started his own job... which was to let everyone sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through meditation.
