Chapter 10: Hearing About the Difficulties of Cultivation

A lot of thoughts flashed through Han Yuan's mind, and then he slowly said: "Peak Master, my cultivation was detected by the sect's magic weapon, so there shouldn't be any mistakes, but I am indeed a little confused about my cultivation. , I have never received any guidance before, and my disciple knows little about cultivation. Am I still at the third level of Qi Refining? "

The corner of Du Yuanhe's mouth curled up. This kid was ignorant of the situation and was also cunning.

He said calmly: "The magic weapon is only judged according to the measurement of normal people, but in this world, there are always some special people who break the rules, but they rarely appear in monks with medium-grade spiritual roots. Your Dantian is larger than that of ordinary people." Doubling the amount is nothing more than having a special physique or eating some heavenly and earthly treasures.”

Han Yuan said: "This disciple has never eaten any treasures from heaven and earth, and he has never eaten strange things. Does it mean that this disciple has a special physique?"

"Maybe, but even if you have a special physique, you can practice so fast, but it is a bit too fast. Do you have any other secrets? Can you share them with me?" Du Yuanhe said with a half-smile.

Han Yuan looked at the old man's back and cursed in his heart. Was this old guy trying to trick him?

He hesitated and said: "Well, this disciple was lucky enough to comprehend the small level of "Ancient Wood Spirit-nurturing Technique", so the speed of practice is much faster."

"Oh? That's it!"

The corner of Du Yuanhe's mouth curled up, but he did not continue to ask. He had clearly detected that Han Yuan's technique had reached the level of Dacheng. It was ten times more difficult to break through to Dacheng than to break through to Xiaocheng. This guy was dishonest. !

However, he also understood that being clumsy was a quality that a monk should have.

Feeling that he had discovered Han Yuan's secret, he said calmly: "I am Du Yuanhe, the current master of Lingwen Peak. Your qualifications are good and your understanding is acceptable. Are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"

Han Yuan opened his mouth, feeling that the flying sword was gradually rising in height, and glanced at the shrinking trees below. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times and said: "Disciple...is willing! Han Yuan pays homage to the master!"

"Hahaha! Yes, yes! You are the seventh disciple accepted by me. Four of the first six disciples have already died. Your second senior brother has broken through the foundation and is stationed in a mine. Your fourth senior sister has already refined Qi. On the ninth floor, I’m still practicing outside. I’ll introduce you to them when they come back!”

Du Yuanhe laughed loudly. As he spoke, the height of the flying sword naturally dropped, and the speed slowed down a bit.

These little actions fell into Han Yuan's eyes, and he was unable to complain. What made him even more numb was that four of the senior brothers and sisters in front of him had already done it!

This, this, this, suddenly my feet feel a little numb!

call! call! call!

The mountain wind howled by, and within a short time, the two of them arrived at the top of a large mountain peak.

The scenery at the top of Lingwen Peak is extremely beautiful, with pavilions, bridges, flowing water, spiritual trees, flowers and birds, and mist-shrouded clouds.

It feels like stepping into the fairyland.

When the flying sword fell, many disciples who were practicing swordsmanship in the pavilion stopped and saluted respectfully:

"Meet the Peak Master!"

"Keep practicing!"

Du Yuanhe waved his hand and led Han Yuan forward.

Han Yuan followed suit.

Many inner disciples looked curiously at Han Yuan who was following Du Yuanhe, and from time to time there were whispers.

"Who is this?"

"Today seems to be the day for the outer sect disciples to test their cultivation. If everything goes as expected, then this disciple should be among the top ten in the outer sect and has qualified as an inner sect disciple in advance!"

"I see. It seems that we will have a talented junior brother in Lingwen Summit in the future."

"Hurry up and practice. Don't wait for a few years before being surpassed by others. If you can rank in the top ten, you will definitely be able to build a foundation if you don't die."

Han Yuan had a feeling like a light on his back. All the inner disciples were monks at the seventh level of Qi refining and above. They were dozens of times stronger than him. The eyes of those people were like bayonets, which made his skin... It hurts.

He was like a kitten that suddenly broke into a group of dozens of tigers.

It wasn't until he entered a courtyard that the noise outside disappeared in an instant, and Han Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

"After listening to their discussions, do you think you will be able to break through to the late stage of Qi refining soon?"

Du Yuanhe stopped under a tree and asked with his hands behind his back.

Han Yuan shook his head and said: "It will definitely take a lot of time!"

"You may not understand the difficulties of cultivation. As your master, the first lesson I will teach you is the difficulty of the immortal way!"

Han Yuan looked solemn and listened carefully.

"Let's talk about the cultivation test for outer disciples first. Do you know why there will be rewards if you can advance to the third level of Qi Refining in two years?"

"It should be to encourage disciples to practice!"

Du Yuanhe shook his head: "It's because of these disciples that we can hope to build the foundation! It takes two years to advance to the third level of Qi Refining, and it also takes at least two years to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, four years to the fifth level, and six Level eight, sixteen years for the seventh level, thirty-two years for the eighth level, sixty-four years for the ninth level, and a total of one hundred and twenty-eight years for the ninth level!”

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment: "It shouldn't take so long, right? As your level improves, your cultivation speed will speed up!"

"The speed of cultivation will indeed increase, but as the quality of spiritual power increases, the required spiritual power will also increase. With the bottleneck in the middle, the overall time will only be a lot longer, and the life span of a Qi Refining monk is only 120 years. And generally speaking, after the age of sixty, the success rate of foundation building drops sharply, so it is best to build the foundation before the age of sixty! "

Han Yuan thought for a while and said, "Can't the pill speed up the speed?"

"Yes, pills can indeed speed up the process, but there are three problems with pills. The first is pill poison, which you should know. The second is that it affects the quality of spiritual power and reduces the chance of building a foundation. It is necessary to constantly purify spiritual power. The third is the most troublesome. Pills have drug resistance. If you swallow too much, the effect will eventually be only one tenth of it. Moreover, pills consume a lot of resources! In addition, haven't you taken pills in the past two years? It has been counted!"

Han Yuan nodded, and then felt something was wrong. Drug resistance? What is this? Han Yuan suddenly hesitated, "Master, when will drug resistance appear?"

Du Yuanhe asked in confusion: "Didn't you feel it? You swallowed a bottle of Juling Pill. If you have noticed, the effect of the last pill should be only about 70% to 80% of the first one!"

Han Yuan's pupils shrank. He recalled the situation of swallowing pills before, and his heart couldn't help but speed up the beating speed.

Du Yuanhe did not doubt him and continued: "If we do not consider the elixir, how can these disciples build their foundation?"

Han Yuan thought about his own situation, his eyes lit up: "I understand, the method has broken through! The small success level can double the efficiency, and the big success level should be able to increase it four times! In this way, 256 years can be compressed to 64 years!"

Du Yuanhe was stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "The big success method is not so easy to achieve. Generally speaking, it is good to have a small success level. On the other hand, it mainly relies on the spirit gathering array or spirit stones to speed up the practice. There are practice caves and practice rooms in the inner peak, which can increase the practice speed by two or even three times. The two methods combined, it is estimated that the conditions for building the foundation can be met before the age of fifty! And these are just the qualifications for building the foundation! Generally speaking, only 20% of the middle-grade spirit roots have the ability to build the foundation! The probability of breaking through the foundation building!"

"Among the 500 disciples in your group, only 180 have reached the third level of Qi Refining. Among these people, it is estimated that only 10 to 20 people can break through the foundation building!"

Han Yuan subconsciously asked: "Then how can we increase the probability of foundation building?"

Du Yuanhe raised a thumb: "First, the foundation building pill can be obtained through the sect competition, which can increase the success rate by 20 to 30%. The second is to break through to the tenth, eleventh and twelfth levels of Qi Refining. After each level is cultivated to perfection, you can get a 10% chance again. However, these realms need to fill the Dantian, and a lot of spiritual power needs to be filled. In addition..."

He looked at Han Yuan and smiled faintly: "Special cases like you can also add a success rate out of thin air!"

"Now, do you understand the difficulty of cultivation?" Du Yuanhe said solemnly.

Han Yuan lowered his head and fell into thought: "My situation is different from that of others. Every time my realm is upgraded, my dantian will expand, and it is difficult to analyze the speed of cultivation in the future. However, with the help of elixirs, cultivation is not difficult. As for the probability of building the foundation, my chance of success is already 30% to 40%. If I swallow the foundation-building pill, the success rate can reach 100%. Building the foundation will not be difficult for me at all! ’

Thinking of this, he responded: "It will probably take some time to break through!"

"It's good that you know!"

Du Yuanhe said lightly: "I can prepare the best cave for you, sufficient supply of elixirs, and guide you to practice. With your conditions, it is not difficult to break through the foundation, but I hope you will set your goal on the golden elixir!"

"Hmm?"

Du Yuanhe said carefully: "To break through the golden elixir, you need to practice a magic spell above the Xuan level to the perfect level and condense the true talisman, so that you can use it as a basis to break through the golden elixir. In order to prepare to practice this spell in advance, you need to practice the matching yellow-level spell in the Qi training realm and practice it to perfection. When building the foundation, with the help of the interaction between heaven and earth, you can quickly practice the Xuan-level spell and save hundreds of years of hard practice! I can prepare a few spell inheritances for you, which is also one of the biggest benefits after you become my disciple!"

"Thank you for the gift, Master!" Han Yuan said gratefully.

Du Yuanhe smiled and nodded.

Han Yuan suddenly realized that he said so much, wasn't it just to show how much help his master had given him? Sure enough, he was cunning!

However, he was really grateful. If no one told him, he really didn't know that there were so many ways to practice. Even if he knew, it would be difficult to exchange for a precious set of spells.

"There is no rush to exchange spells. Wait until you break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Now you can concentrate on practicing. Well, our Dishen Sect requires every disciple to master a skill of cultivating immortals. The Lingwen of our Lingwen Peak is the most peculiar..."

"I want to be a Lingzhihu."

"Lingzhihu?" Du Yuanhe shook his head hurriedly, "You have a good understanding. Lingwen is suitable for people with high understanding. You..."

Han Yuan was stunned. He has a high understanding?

Why doesn't he know it himself?

Breaking through the realm of minor success in the practice method is an epiphany by chance. In fact, his understanding is similar to that of others. Since Lingwen requires understanding, he will definitely not ask for trouble!

"No, Master, I'd rather be a Lingzhihu!"

Du Yuanhe's face was serious: "Don't be willful!"

Han Yuan was crazy. How could he be willful? He was obviously very good at farming?

"Master, I have planted a season of blood spirit rice. I think I have a talent for planting!" Han Yuan said immediately.

Du Yuanhe waved his hand in disdain: "Forget it, don't regret it later. This is the token of Cangming Cave Mansion. It is a cave of the upper grade of Xuan level. It can increase the speed of cultivation by five times. You will cultivate there in the future."

"Thank you, Master!" Han Yuan happily took the token.

"Just leave if you have nothing to do!" Du Yuanhe hummed in dissatisfaction, "It's a waste of comprehension. If I had this comprehension, I would have..."

"Master, what did you say?"

Du Yuanhe pointed to the door: "Don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

"Disciple understands!"

It means that if you have anything to do, just come and find me!

Han Yuan took the token and went back to move happily!

He decided that after moving to the new cave, he would practice in seclusion until he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. In addition, he had to exchange a spell to conceal his cultivation. This world was too unsafe.
