Chapter 356: The Difference Between Cultivating the True Self and Cultivating Immortality



A partner seems to be more suitable. After all, those with high cultivation levels will not be affected by physical desires.

At this moment, Li Yi's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting Bai Shi's thoughts.

Li Yi looked at the incoming caller's phone number, which was a number without any remarks. He knew it was a call immediately.

He answered the phone.

"Hey, um...I'll be there on time, okay, I got it."

Li Yi hung up the phone, and Bai Shi asked curiously, "Who's calling?"

"The class monitor at school informed me of the time and subject of the final exam and asked me to prepare for it." Li Yi replied.

"School?" Bai Shi looked puzzled, but soon remembered that Li Yi seemed to be studying in Gaojing, and could not help but said speechlessly:

"I forget about you when you're at home every day, and now you're still a college student. You don't have to go to class every day, and you just stay in the community playing cards with those old men. So why do you want to go to school?"

"Students, as the name suggests, are supposed to study. Once they have learned, they naturally do not need to go to school. As for why I accepted the parents' request, it is also to make up for the shortcomings."

Li Yi came here for two main reasons, one was his parents' request, and the other was to make up for his past shortcomings. Maybe he is not interested now, but at least he used to work hard for this identity.

And it’s actually not bad, the old men in the village don’t have that much money to collect for themselves.

"I dream of making up for my shortcomings, why don't you support me?" Bai Shi grumbled with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't object to you sleeping with Luohan every day." Li Yi smiled, "In fact, going to school is also a kind of practice for me. As Li Yi's practice, or cultivation, it is to get rid of the false and retain the true, and understand my true nature."

Whenever Bai Shi really dreams in order to seek the truth and eliminate falsehood, her cultivation will far surpass Qingxuan and the others.

The so-called truth is mentioned in various spiritual practice texts, but few people can achieve it.

"I also read about cultivation in a booklet when I first came into contact with cultivation. Then, I combined it with the method of Spring and Autumn and finally achieved enlightenment and entered the realm of cultivation."

"Senior Immortal, what is the name of your booklet?"

When it comes to cultivation, Qiong Yu suddenly becomes a little excited. A book that can teach a powerful person like an immortal must be some kind of peerless magic skill.

It is said that the immortal was just a mortal at first, but he embarked on the path of cultivation because of a mysterious method.

There were similar rumors in the Xiandao era, and there were many different speculations about that booklet.

Li Yi replied: "It is just a very ordinary Qigong book. I didn't practice it, but I suddenly got some inspiration from it. I integrated the Qigong book with the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period, and practiced the Tao through the interaction between heaven and earth."

"But if we really want to compare my way, it should be with the Qigong practitioners or the old gangs in Tianji Pavilion. They all emphasize practicing Taoism in the secular world and cultivating immortality in the secular world."

The earth-shaking change in Li Changsheng's power happened after he asked for the sword in Tianjian Mountain. The Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions was just a trigger, and behind it was the worldly being's departure from the world.

To be born into the world means the perfection of spiritual cultivation.

So Li Yi supports his parents to do what they like, and he also does not object to Bai Shi immersing himself in his dreams. The secular world is also a place for cultivation, firewood, rice, oil and salt are not lowly, mortals' grains are not filthy, and seven emotions and six desires are not obstacles.

Everything is just a thing on the path of a cultivator. Isn't resistance or rejection also attachment to appearances?

In Li Changsheng's opinion, the practice of seclusion in Shangqing Palace is against the practice of cultivation. It is said that the Tao is born from nothingness and one qi, and from one qi, yin and yang are produced. Yin and yang are combined into three bodies, and the three bodies give birth to all things.

The union of men and women is the right way.

But later, as he grew older, Li Changsheng came to believe that cultivation was right. It was not the Tao that had changed, but that people could not resist all kinds of temptations.

Pure cultivation raises the lower limit, but sometimes it also limits the upper limit, but only a few people can reach this upper limit.

The ability to look at facts dialectically is the eyes that time has given Li Changsheng.

Qiong Yu felt dizzy after listening to it, not because she didn't understand, but because she felt dizzy because she wanted to understand.

"Senior Immortal, are there other cultivators like you?"

"I haven't seen it, but since the beginning of the world, there should be some."

Li Yi couldn't deny it. Although he had never seen one, there should be so many powerful people throughout history.

Cultivation is never a word created by ourselves, but it is something that our ancestors figured out and later generations summarized and understood.

"I seem to have heard that cultivation is a term used in Taoism." Qiong Yu recalled that she had heard this term before. It was her sister who told her that.

"The Taoist practice of Taoism is the intersection of heaven and earth, and the three flowers gather at the top of the head."

______

The world of cultivation.

That year, the full moon was three years old, and every day was Mid-Autumn Festival.

The divine fortune teller, who was called a half-immortal by the cultivation world, knelt down at the foot of the Moon Palace, crying and shouting, "Grandpa Immortal, please have mercy on me and take back my magical powers."

"If this continues, the Heavenly Secret will collapse, the Zhou Tian will be in chaos, and our Heavenly Secret Pavilion's thousands of years of inheritance will be destroyed in an instant."

The miserable wails spread out, and countless powerful men cast their spiritual consciousness to observe the weeping half-immortal, and were extremely surprised to see him.

Soon the fairy from the Moon Palace arrived, and the beautiful elder of the Moon Palace came to persuade him. However, this half-immortal not only refused to buy it, but also made an even bigger fuss.

"If I can't see the Immortal today, I'll just lie here and not get up!"

The fortune teller was lying on the ground, like a noisy old child. This hard and soft method made the Moon Palace elders at a loss as to how to start.

Suddenly, a Taoist in green clothes slowly floated down from the full moon, and there was not a trace of dust on his body when he landed.

His voice was calm and gentle: "You old man, why are you making a scene here?"

"Immortal!"

The divine fortune teller immediately rushed forward, crying, "Please take back your magical powers. If you continue like this, our Tianji Pavilion will not be able to afford food. This is written by Master Du Shi and our Tianji Pavilion. The moon can be full, the moon can be full."

He wanted to slap himself twice for what he did that day.

That day was a clear and crisp autumn day. The immortal, Du Shi, and himself were discussing Taoism. At that time, he told Master Du Shi that the moon has its phases of waxing and waning.

I thought I could win the argument against the immortal, but I didn't expect him to make the moon round on the spot. Tianji Pavilion has been closed for three years. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will have to be renamed Jiling Pavilion.

Business depends on the mouth, and getting beaten depends on the legs.

He never dared to speak carelessly to this gentleman again. Any words from such a powerful man could have huge consequences.

Li Changsheng was not an unreasonable person. He waved his hand towards the sky, and the full moon disappeared, leaving only an arc-shaped downward-spinning moon.

"When the spring comes, the full moon is just a hand up, but when the old friend invites the full moon, how can it be so?"

No one knows the meaning of this immortal's sigh. His old friends have gone away, and his enemies have also disappeared in the long river of time.

Li Changsheng asked again: "Little fortune teller, did the story end with a happy ending?"

The divine fortune teller did not dare to delay this time. He considered for three days and three nights, and Li Changsheng also waited for him for three days and three nights.

Finally he gave the answer.

"In ancient times, there was a Taoist master who could reverse cause and effect, turn black into white, and overturn the secrets of heaven."
