Chapter 103 Sailing against the Current
That night Fang Yi said goodbye to Xu Xiaoli and Lu Shisheng.
He asked the two to go to Gusu first, and he would go there three days later and then formally accept Xu Xiaoli as his disciple.
The reason why he left in such a hurry was because Fang Yi missed home.
Use the earth escape method to escape all the way back home.
Well, flying makes too much noise.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Haitong, the countryside.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
At this time, many families in the countryside have already gone to bed.
Fang Yi stood at the door of his house and saw that the house was brightly lit. He could also hear the sound of a sewing machine coming from the west room downstairs.
Everyone else is asleep, but my parents are still working.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know where Xiaoyi is."
"Why do you care where the child goes? He is not three or five years old."
"I am worried about him. He is so old, but he still hasn't found a job or a girlfriend. I am worried."
"It's not a big deal if I don't have a job. You and I have saved some money over the years. It's just that I don't have a girlfriend... How about I find someone to act as a matchmaker and wait for Xiaoyi to come back, so that he can go on a blind date with that girl?"
"How can a girl like him when he has no job?"
The more Fang Yi listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Even though I was not at home, my parents were still talking about nothing but me.
As the saying goes, raising a child for a hundred years means worrying for ninety-nine years.
Fang Yi felt the care of his parents and secretly strengthened his mind.
No matter what path I will take in the future, whether I will transcend this world or not, at least I should make my parents' lives better.
It all comes down to making a little more money.
"I still have more than one million in my card. This amount of money is definitely not enough. I want my parents to live a life of luxury so that they can practice with peace of mind."
Thinking about this, Fang Yi knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Who is it?" came my father's voice.
Fang Yi put away his emotions and responded: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Ouch!"
"Xiao Yi is back!"
The sound of the sewing machine inside suddenly stopped.
Then, two footsteps came quickly towards the door from the west room.
The next moment, the door opened.
My parents, with mixed black and white hair and wrinkled faces, appeared before me.
The father immediately pulled his son into the house and asked, "Xiaoyi, have you eaten?"
His mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Son must not have eaten since you came back so late. Xiaoyi, sit down for a while. I'll go make you some food."
"No, I came back after eating."
Fang Yi quickly pulled his mother aside and said casually, "I've been out for a long time this time. You two can talk to me."
My father smiled and said, "Okay, tell us where you've been."
The mother also smiled and said, "Okay, I won't work tonight and will chat with my son."
Fang Yi sat in the middle living room downstairs and chatted with his parents for more than an hour.
Finally, it was late at night.
He asked his parents to go to bed early.
As a result, his mother insisted on making his bed before going to sleep.
Fang Yi had no choice but to ask his mother to help him make the bed.
…
At night, it was midnight.
"During the day, I felt that I was about to enter the realm of 'Nine Apertures Hearing the Sounds of Tomorrow'. I think I have reached that level, and I just need that final step."
Fang Yi felt that it was time to make an attack.
As long as he breaks through the fourth level, he will be able to proceed to the fourth level of practice.
The fourth turn is of great importance.
If this skill can be mastered, not only will the divine light of Dan Qi be able to hang down like a bright moon, but even without the help of magic weapons, one will possess terrifying defensive and offensive power.
Moreover, the earth soul and the human soul will be completely integrated.
When the time comes, his soul will leave his body and he will look basically the same as a real person.
The most important thing is to completely get rid of everything that ordinary humans need, such as "breathing" and "eating".
Although I can now achieve long-term "fasting" and "not breathing", I still rely on Dan Qi for support.
It’s actually just a variation of “breathing” and “eating”.
After reaching the fourth level, it is not that, but real fasting.
"I hope I can successfully complete the third transformation tonight!"
He was too eager to enter the fourth turn.
Thinking about this, Fang Yi began to practice.
Sit cross-legged and tap your teeth six times.
Concentrate your mind and breathe in with your mouth closed.
The Dan Qi continuously circulates in the body along the route of practice.
Fang Yi controlled the two streams of Dan Qi, one up and one down.
They came to the top door together.
The other one comes to the tailbone.
Then the two streams of Dan Qi began to rotate.
After 49 turns, Fang Yi felt that the Qi of the heart and kidneys were connected to the diaphragm, and the Dan Qi automatically filled the five internal organs.
Slowly, my five internal organs began to feel hot.
The golden elixir under the left rib shook, making a "gurgling" sound.
As always, after entering the inhalation state, Fang Yi felt that his "thinking" was constantly expanding, gradually covering hundreds of kilometers.
He heard the sound of nature.
When the "sense of consciousness" was taken back, it brought back infinite "starlight".
However, Fang Yi's body was already filled with starlight released by the "Innate Qi".
The "starlight" that was brought back was turned away and scattered around the house.
Fang Yi didn't care about these.
Continue with the second and third retreats.
When the third closure is completed.
He closed his eyes and rested for a while before opening them again.
"Um?"
Fang Yi couldn't help but frown, "Why is there no progress at all?"
I clearly felt that I was on the verge of a breakthrough.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to faintly hear the sounds of nature without practicing.
So what went wrong?
"Could it be that I made a mistake when I was trying to exploit a loophole in my technique?"
Fang Yi checked his body carefully and there seemed to be nothing wrong.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Both my Dan Qi and soul strength have reached the critical juncture, so why can't I enter the fourth level?
“Wait!”
Fang Yi suddenly discovered something terrible.
That is, I can faintly hear the sounds of nature during the day.
At this moment he couldn't hear anything!
"Can the realm be regressed?"
He looked incredulous.
This time Fang Yi was really anxious.
What went wrong?
There is nothing wrong with the body and soul!
Fang Yi sat there thinking hard.
Time passes by every second.
Time passes.
Gradually, a burst of bright sunlight came from outside.
However, Fang Yi, lying on the bed, still had his eyes wide open and didn't understand.
He even tried to use his spiritual sense to examine every inch and every cell of his body to see if it was the "Three Corpse Gods" that were causing trouble.
But it was obviously not the case, because he had already killed the Three Corpse Gods before.
Suddenly.
A word popped up in Fang Yi's mind: state of mind.
The most basic state of mind in Taoist thought is to stay away from worries and maintain joy.
Lao Tzu once said that the state of mind of a "supreme man" can be described by three poetic terms, which also represent three levels of realm.
They are "Low-flowing, as if it is a mountain of stone", "Depth-flowing, as if it is simple" and "Vast-flowing, as if it is a valley".
The general meaning is that the state of mind of someone who has truly achieved success in spiritual practice is as warm as the melting snow and ice in winter, the blooming flowers in spring, and the moistening of the earth; as simple and profound as the steady mountains; and as empty and boundless valley with lingering echoes.
People who are truly at a high level have hearts as vast as the mountains and seas; they are tranquil and boundless; they are simple yet no one in the world can compete with them in beauty; they are indifferent and infinite yet all beauty follows them.
But now Fang Yi's heart was not only not happy, but also full of worries.
"The thing is, I don't even know what I'm upset about."
He was very sure that he was not worried about making more money to give his parents a life of luxury.
Because with my current strength, to put it bluntly, as long as I want to make money, why should I be afraid that I won’t be able to earn enough money for my parents to enjoy the rest of their lives?
Since making money is easy for me, I naturally don’t worry about these things.
But apart from this matter, there seems to be nothing else that can bother me!
In terms of cultivation?
That’s not right. After all, during the day I had reached the state of “Nine Apertures Hearing the Sounds of Heaven”, which was considered a significant improvement in my cultivation. How could I be bothered by this?
Neither this nor that.
Fang Yi really didn't know what was worrying him. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and the more depressed he felt, the more restless he became.
If you are not peaceful, you are not suitable for cultivation.
Without practice, you will not be able to break through your current realm.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I'd better not practice for the next two days. Think carefully about what's going on. As long as I find the source of the trouble, I should be able to solve the problem quickly."
It has been more than three years since the day I obtained Mr. Chen’s Inner Alchemy Secrets.
Apart from the fact that he was unable to refine "Qi" in the beginning, Fang Yi had never been as troubled as he is now.
He knew that he had encountered the first hurdle on his path of cultivation.
Once you cross this hurdle, your realm will definitely be greatly improved.
But if you can't cross it, not only will your cultivation level stop at the current stage, it may even be like sailing against the current, causing your cultivation level to decline instead of rise.
