Chapter 267 I left my son without a penny!
Seeing his adopted son with a look of admiration and expectation, Si Yuan certainly would not pour cold water on him at this time. His attitude was also very gentle and loving. He asked in a soft tone that was just right: "How is your cultivation? Have you encountered any bottlenecks? If you have any questions, just ask your father."
Sheng Yunqi became a little excited when he heard Si Yuan's caring words. As if he wanted to prove something to him, he insisted, "Father, my cultivation is going smoothly now. There is no problem. I will soon break through to the foundation-building stage. I will definitely not let you down."
Si Yuan didn't know whether Sheng Yunqi really didn't encounter any problems, or was just pretending that there were no problems in order not to appear timid in front of him as his father.
Si Yuan didn't care which possibility Sheng Yunqi had. He just nodded calmly and reminded him, "If you have any questions that you are unsure about, remember to ask your father. Don't try to be stubborn yourself. You can also ask the elders. The most taboo on the road of cultivation is to pretend to know something you don't."
Then he explained to Sheng Yunqi on the spot what he needed to pay attention to when breaking through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage.
Although the upper limit of this world is limited to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage, the cultivation realm and specific conditions are not much different from those of the Tiancang Realm.
There is not much difference between breakthroughs in various realms. Anyway, Sheng Yunqi can use Si Yuan's previous experience of breaking through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In his previous life before crossing over to the Tiancang Realm, Si Yuan was a modern man who grew up in the modern world. He knew very well how big a problem it was to know the facts but not the reasons behind them. So after crossing over to the Tiancang Realm and embarking on the path of cultivation, he had to understand the principles of every step of the cultivation.
Other cultivators who broke through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage only knew what the breakthrough steps were, but did not know why they had to follow such steps to break through.
In this case, once an emergency occurs, you don’t know what to do.
Just like doing a question, if you just follow the template mechanically, you won’t know where to start once other changes arise.
How could the failure rate of this kind of forced breakthrough method not be high?
Thus, something like the Foundation Building Pill was born. The effect of the Foundation Building Pill is nothing more than making the process of a cultivator's breakthrough from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage more like a template-like breakthrough process, reducing the occurrence of unexpected situations and increasing the success rate of breakthrough.
But how much future can this unchanging template-based breakthrough have in the foundation-building period after the breakthrough?
If he hasn't even figured out how to build his foundation, how can we expect this cultivator to understand the more profound path of cultivation and go further?
Therefore, when Si Yuan was teaching Sheng Yunqi, he broke down the principles of cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage and how to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage and explained them to him clearly so that Sheng Yunqi would know both the facts and the reasons behind them.
In fact, there are quite a few cultivators who have achieved breakthroughs through their cultivation without any intention, especially now that the upper limit of the cultivation world is limited to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage. Without the temptation of ascending to become immortals hanging over the heads of cultivators, most cultivators only pursue cultivation to prolong their lifespan, become stronger, and gain more benefits.
Naturally, many forces and intrigues have emerged, and there are almost no ascetics who truly pursue the path of spiritual practice.
This has resulted in not only a deterioration in the objective cultivation environment in the cultivation world, but also the subjective cultivation ideas of the cultivators themselves being unsatisfactory. Basically, most cultivators follow the template-based cultivation path, no one thinks about innovation, and no one thinks about understanding the principles of cultivation. They only know to do what is written in the secret manuals and apply them mechanically.
Si Yuan's explanation to Sheng Yunqi made Sheng Yunqi feel as if he had suddenly been enlightened, as if his previous practice had always been in the fog. He only knew that he had to practice in this way, but had no idea why he should practice in this way. Once an unexpected event occurred, he would start over again and must practice according to the template route.
Just like taking the wrong road, he must go back and start again, taking the planned route.
Now that Si Yuan had explained the principles of cultivation to him thoroughly, Sheng Yunqi discovered that if he took the wrong path during his cultivation, he could completely follow Si Yuan's method of identifying directions and finding the way and return to the correct route. He no longer had to go back and start again, wasting time and energy.
Sheng Yunqi gained a lot from Si Yuan's explanation. After Si Yuan finished his lecture, he looked at Si Yuan with even more admiration and said excitedly, "Father, I understand. Your words made me feel like I have seen the moon through the clouds! Now I feel that I am much more confident in breaking through the foundation-building stage."
This feeling of truly understanding and grasping the knowledge points really excited Sheng Yunqi. He felt that no matter what changes occurred in the problem of breaking through the foundation building, he could solve it with ease.
At this time, Sheng Yunqi's admiration and worship for Si Yuan was no longer because of Si Yuan's strength that had reached the Nascent Soul stage and his father's status as the head of the family, but rather his respect for Si Yuan's profound knowledge and superior teaching ability.
Si Yuan looked at his adopted son's sparkling eyes and smiled faintly. He was not unsatisfied in his heart. After all, who doesn't like to be looked at by the younger generation with such admiring eyes? He is not practicing the ruthless way. No matter how high his state of mind is, he is willing to be an ordinary person at this time and face his heart honestly.
He smiled and said, "Since you are sure, just break through when you are more confident. There is no need to look ahead or behind. The foundation-building stage is just the time to lay the foundation for the path of cultivation. After that, there are the golden elixir, the primordial infant, and the spirit transformation."
Sheng Yunqi said firmly: "Don't worry, father. I will work hard and not let you down. In the future, when both father and son of the Sheng family have Yuanying, we will definitely push the Sheng family to a higher peak!"
Si Yuan reached out and patted his shoulder, scolding him with a smile: "Is this all you can do, little brat? Only father and son have both reached Nascent Soul stage? By the time you reach Nascent Soul stage, your father will have already reached Divine Realm!"
Si Yuan is already in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but he has not shown it. But after a few years, the time will be right and he will also show the public that he has broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
After all, he doesn't want to keep pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. If he really meets a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage one day, will he still have to be respectful to that cultivator in the God Transformation Stage as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?
Si Yuan's words made Sheng Yunqi stunned for a moment, and he thought shyly, yes, by the time he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, his father might have reached the God Transformation stage.
So Sheng Yunqi changed his words and said, "Then I will work hard to become a father and son dual god with my father!"
Si Yuan smiled calmly: "Anyone can boast in Haikou, but it would be embarrassing if you can't do it. Your father is looking forward to you fulfilling your current promise."
Sheng Yunqi clenched his fists, his expression firm, and said in a decisive tone: "Father, please wait and see!"
