Literary cultivation and martial arts cultivation, this is easy to understand.

Literary and martial arts can be considered as cultivation.

Poison cultivation and medicine cultivation are also considered skills, which is understandable.

What is the situation of practicing smoking and drinking?

Li Banfeng asked: "Does smoking and drinking count as cultivation?"

"Of course it counts, why not? Whether it's smoking or drinking, as long as it can reach a higher level, it counts as cultivation!" Fatty Qin said proudly, "Uncle Liu in our village must drink five kilograms of wine a day. Later I found out that he is a second-level wine cultivator!"

Ma Wu expressed his doubts: "What does your uncle Liu do for a living? Can you afford to repair the wine?"

Not everyone can afford to make wine. How much does it cost to make five kilograms of wine a day?

Qin Xiaopang was not convinced and said, "Uncle Liu is a winemaker!"

Ma Wu was still skeptical: "Even if he is a winemaker, how many pounds of wine can he make in a day? He drinks five pounds a day. Is the wine we brew at home enough for him?"

Li Banfeng felt that Ma Wu was being too serious. What if Uncle Liu Er actually ran a winery?

But unexpectedly, Ma Wu really took action: "It's not common to see wine cultivators. I want to go see your Uncle Liu. Where is he?"

Qin Xiaopang puffed out his chest and said, "Dead!"

Ma Wuyi frowned: "How did he die? Don't say he died from drinking!"

Jiu Xiu couldn't possibly die of drunkenness.

Qin Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "It has something to do with drinking, but it can't be considered as death from drinking.

That day, Uncle Liu got drunk, jumped into the river, and drowned.

Ma Wu snorted and laughed: "Brother, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is unreasonable. How can a cultivator on the second level drown so easily?"

Qin Xiaopang answered seriously: "It's not easy to drown. Uncle Liu jumped into the river and swam very happily. It wasn't a big deal.

The villagers told him to get ashore quickly, saying that there was a river mouth ahead and the water was flowing fast.

Uncle Liu said that no matter how fast the water flowed, he was not afraid, because he had seen the master, who helped him change his sect and made him a water cultivator.

"Water Cultivator..." Ma Wu pinched his chin and thought for a long time, "It is true that this sect exists, but it is not common. Has Uncle Liu really become a Water Cultivator?"

"I don't know," Qin Xiaopang shook his head. "Anyway, I don't believe it, and neither do the villagers.

To prove it to us, Uncle Liu deliberately swam to the deepest part of the river where the current was the fastest, and dived into the mud at the bottom of the river. When we fished him out, his mouth and nose were filled with mud, and he was already dead.

Ma Wu sighed when he heard this, and seemed to believe what Qin Xiaopang said: "Jiu Xiu, this path is too dangerous."

Li Banfeng asked, "How much did Uncle Liu drink that day?"

Qin Xiaopang replied: "I heard from them that he drank twelve kilograms."

No wonder he met the ancestor.

"Twelve kilograms? Can you drink twelve kilograms of water?" Li Banfeng really thought it was outrageous, but when he thought about the fact that this little fat guy still had to eat twenty kilograms of rice, he felt that this place was outrageous in itself.

"Does a wine cultivator have to drink as much as he can?" Li Banfeng wanted to know more about the tricks involved.

"Of course you have to drink a lot, otherwise how can you make money?" Qin Xiaopang looked at Li Banfeng seriously.

"What does it mean to earn time?" Li Banfeng still didn't understand.

Xiao Pang looked down on Li Banfeng even more: "How come you don't know anything?"

Ma Wu was very patient and explained to Li Banfeng: "No matter which Taoist sect you go to, once you enter, pass the test, and reach a certain level, you still need to practice cultivation.

But if you practice step by step, it will take ten years for each level to rise. That is to say, it will take ten years to go from the first level to the second level. If you want to practice from the entry level to the tenth level, it will take ninety years. Can you afford to wait?"

Li Banfeng didn't know how to answer.

He didn't know how big the gap was from the first floor to the second floor, how much profit there would be, and whether it was worth ten years.

Ma Wu continued, "If you don't want to wait, you have to earn this time back. I don't know what the rules are for wine cultivators, but I have seen a level one food cultivator who eats five catties of rice every day. This is called following the rules. If you don't eat enough, your cultivation will regress.

Eating ten kilograms of rice every day is called earning time. The extra five kilograms of rice can help him earn one more day of practice. If he insists on eating ten kilograms every day, he will be able to reach the second level in five years!

If he insists on eating twice as much, he won’t need to persist for ninety years, but forty-five years, and he will be able to reach the tenth level.”

"What's the benefit of reaching the tenth level?"

Ma Wu said: "In the entire Yaowang Valley, there has never been a sixth-level cultivator. If you can cultivate to the seventh level, you will be the leader of Yaowang Valley.

Not to mention Yaowanggou, even in the entire Pro Province, there are only a handful of tenth-level cultivators. This is a serious local tyrant!"

Li Banfeng had no interest in the boss: "If you cultivate to the tenth level, you will be in your seventies or eighties. What does it matter if you are a tyrant or not?"

"What's wrong with being seventy or eighty years old?" Ma Wu smiled. "When you reach the tenth level, your life will change. Your life span will be extended three times.

"In the past, people could live to be 100 years old, but now they can live to be 300 years old. If you triple your age, you are in your 70s or 80s, which is about 20 years old. This is a good age!"

If you cultivate to the tenth level, your life span will be tripled!

This is very attractive!

Qin Xiaopang patted his chest and said, "Since the day I was born, my neighbors have said that I am blessed. I will definitely be able to obtain the tenth level of cultivation!"

Li Banfeng looked at Qin Xiaopang and said, "So, Brother Qin will have to eat five kilograms of rice every day?"

“If we reach the second floor, this still won’t be enough…” Fat Qin was a little worried when he said this.

He was not worried that he couldn't eat, but that he couldn't afford it.

But he had made his choice, because he knew that he had no other skills except eating.

Li Banfeng asked: "If you cultivate to the ninth level, how many times can your life span be extended?"

"The ninth level will not be extended!" Ma Wu waved his hand. "Only when you reach the tenth level can you change your fate. The ninth level is still the life span of an ordinary person. If you cannot reach the tenth level in your lifetime, all your efforts will be wasted."

This is a bit harsh. Life cannot be extended before the tenth level.

If you practice step by step, it will take eighty years to reach the ninth level. Even if you start practicing at the age of ten, you will be ninety years old when you reach the ninth level. Will you still have the energy to continue practicing at that time?

This is probably the reason why practitioners want to earn time desperately and shorten the time of practice. They all want to reach the tenth level in their lifetime.

"Is it like this for every sect?"

Ma Wu nodded: "Every Taoist sect is like this. If you want to change your fate, you must practice with all your strength and rush up to the tenth floor.

Martial arts practitioners have to practice hard every day, literary practitioners have to study hard, food practitioners have to eat hard, and pleasure practitioners have to do it hard.

Of course, there are also shortcuts, such as eating herbs, drinking medicinal soups, and taking elixirs, but those things are too expensive and not a long-term solution."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Where's Geng Xiu?"

Qin Xiaopang was stunned: "Why did you choose Gengxiu? It's not for the sake of cheapness, right?"

Li Banfeng really wants to get a bargain.

He only had 2,000 yuan on him and couldn't afford to buy the medicine powder.

Monkey Qiu promised before he left that he would give Li Banfeng the money to choose the medicine, and he could choose whichever door he wanted.

But Li Banfeng is not a shameless person. Two boxes of instant noodles can earn back a life, which is enough. Why should he let others spend so much money on him?

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you must be careful. You can't take advantage of this. The medicinal powder has no high or low value. It is all the wisdom of our ancestors. The reason why the medicinal powder of Gengxiu is sold at a low price is because no one buys it, because Gengxiu is the most difficult Taoist practice."

"What do you mean?"

Ma Wu said: "I don't know what the situation is like in other states, but there should be farmers there, right? You should know how hard the farmers work.

Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, working without rest every day, this can only be regarded as daily practice according to the routine.

Spend all your energy to find good seeds and plant some exotic flowers and plants. This is a way to earn time.

Brother Li, think about it, when you are in your seventies or eighties, will you still be able to farm?

If there is a storm, flood, drought, or locust plague, and the harvest is insufficient for the year, not only will you not be able to earn time, but your cultivation may also be damaged.

If you encounter enemies or bad guys who come to steal, rob, or set fires, you may end up with nothing for the whole year. This will not only damage your cultivation, but it will also endanger your life.

Brother Li, this road is too difficult, be careful, be very careful! "

It seems that farming and repairing is not an option. Ma Wu is right, this path is indeed too difficult.

Li Banfeng had a general understanding of the two concepts of pleasure cultivation and food cultivation.

"Then how should the traveler practice?"

"Just walk around!" Xiaopang can answer this question, "The more places you walk and the farther you go, the faster your cultivation will grow and the more time you will earn.

People who have no fixed place to live like to travel and practice cultivation! "

"Where's Zhai Xiu?"

"Just lie down at home. The longer you lie down, the faster your cultivation will improve!"

Li Banfeng was stunned and said, "You can practice while lying down at home!"

"Yes, that's why the house repair is expensive!" Xiaopang said with regret, "If I hadn't saved enough money, I would have chosen the house repair. Ma Wu, I see that you are a rich man, why don't you choose the house repair?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I can't stand the boredom. I spend most of the year in the house. I don't want to be bored to death.

To be honest, the thing I like most is the word "joy". I can't get through a day without a girl by my side."

Li Banfeng said: "This is easy, just bring the girl to your house."

Ma Wu sighed softly: "That's not something you can just take with you. The mechanism of home cultivation is different from that of other Taoist sects. Cultivation is not earned by yourself alone, but by working with the home spirit."

"What is a house spirit?" Li Banfeng heard a lot of new terms.

This question stumped Ma Wu:

"I can't really explain what a house spirit is. House cultivators rarely show up, especially after reaching a certain level, there are very few house dwellers that can be seen.

I only know that homebodies have to buy a good house. It can’t be too conspicuous, otherwise people will disturb them, and it can’t be too secluded, otherwise they won’t have food or drink.

The house itself must have spiritual energy. If you nourish this spiritual energy and cultivate a spiritual being, it will become the spirit of the house.

I don't know what this spiritual object is, but if you want to reach a higher level in house cultivation, you must have a house spirit. This level is quite difficult.

The house spirit has a temperament. If the house cultivator can please the house spirit, the house spirit will help the house cultivator earn a lot of cultivation.

If you can't please the house spirit, your cultivation won't improve. If you anger the house spirit, there have even been cases where the house spirit has killed its master, that is, killed the cultivator."

Li Banfeng listened with eyes wide open, and Qin Xiaopang also listened seriously. Home cultivation is indeed a mysterious Taoist sect.

Li Banfeng asked: "Why would the house spirit be enraged? How could it reach the point of killing the owner?"

Ma Wu said: "I have only heard of this kind of thing once, and that happened in Yaowanggou.

House spirits love cleanliness, and when they encounter something unclean, they will try to clean it up, so house builders must also take care of their houses diligently.

There was a house keeper in Yaowanggou. He was very sloppy. It was bad enough that he didn't clean his house. He never washed his face, bathed, washed his hair, did his laundry, or took care of his hair and beard. He was always dirty.

The house spirit tolerated it and often helped him wash clothes, wipe his face, cut his hair, and tidy him up.

But this man did not repent. Not only was he sloppy, he also brought a group of sloppy friends with him and lived in the house for several days.

Without the permission of the house spirit, no outsiders could live in the house. These people also made the house a mess. The house spirit was angry, and one night, it killed the cultivator and his group of friends, leaving no one alive!"

Qin Xiaopang shuddered. He was usually a bit sloppy. "So what happened to this house spirit?"

"It stayed in the house and became an evil spirit. It's still harming people today."

"Is there no one taking care of this?"

"Who cares? There are so many evil spirits. Who has the heart to care about this?"

…

Listening to Ma Wu and Qin Xiaopang chatting, Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.

Which sect should I choose?

Is this important?

It's very important, to save lives.

According to the peddler, if one does not enter the Taoist temple after seeing the sunlight, he will surely die.

But if I just choose any sect, wouldn’t my life be saved?

Isn't the purpose of my trip to save people? Is it important to choose the Taoist sect?

Of course it’s important!

What a rare opportunity this is!

I have offended those people from the Dark Star Bureau, and they said they would kill me. If I want to survive, I must learn some real skills to save my life!

More importantly, there is also the great dream of achieving the tenth level of cultivation!

"Good things are good things, bad things are bad things, it's that simple." Li Banfeng murmured to himself.

Qin Xiaopang didn't hear clearly: "Brother Li, what are you talking about, good or bad?"

Li Banfeng did not answer.

What is happening now is a good thing. No matter how many additional factors there are, being able to obtain extraordinary powers and extra-long life is a good thing.

Choosing a Taoist sect that suits you is the best of all good things.

Which door is suitable?

I know too little about these sects.

"What abilities do the practitioners of each sect have?"

"This is complicated," said Ma Wu, "Martial arts practitioners can fight, literary practitioners can curse, travel practitioners can run, and food practitioners eat and drink their fill, so they have both magic and strength."

Qin Xiaopang added: "Huan Xiu can do it ten times a day, that's no problem!"

Ma Wu smiled and said, "Huan Xiu is good at disturbing people's minds, but he is not only capable of this."

"Where's Zhai Xiu?"

Ma Wu said: "The house cultivators are capable of both offense and defense. It depends on the temperament of the house spirit. Outside the house, the house cultivators have average combat power among the same level. Inside the house, the house cultivators have invincible combat power among the same level. They can even fight across a level and still have the strength to fight!"

Is Zhai Xiu so powerful?

Or choose home renovation?

The money can be returned to Monkey Qiu later, but where can I buy this house?
