It is said that there is still a saying in the evaluation of the "Four Masters, Five Shows and Seven Fierceness", and the "Four Masters" are naturally the top four of this competition, and Yao Yong is one of the "Four Masters".
"Wuxiu" is the youngest five people in the top sixteen, four of them are women, and they are also the only four women who entered the top sixteen in this competition.
The rest are the "Seven Fierce", and some good people also ranked Lu Ping first in the "Seven Fierce".
Lu Ping was dismissive of this, but he couldn't help his reputation.
Lu Ping had a lot of respect for Liu Xianchang, especially after entering the later stage of blood refining, Liu Xianchang carefully guided him several times, and after he broke through and was injured in the competition, it was Liu Xianchang who protected him, and used a precious top-grade restoration pill to stabilize his injuries, saving Lu Ping from the brink of collapse of his cultivation.
Liu Xianchang's three-day explanation was rich in content, and Lu Ping gained a lot, and was even a little shocked.
On the first day, Professor Liu Xianchang explained the various problems encountered from the eighth to the ninth layer of blood refining, and the various situations that need to be paid attention to, including various preparations for the hemolysis period.
If the gap between the same level of monks in the blood refining period was not too obvious, the blood dissolution period was a watershed moment. The gap lies in the exercises practiced by each monk, the cultivation resources they have, the wisdom, determination and courage to face difficulties, and even luck.
This is a path of rapid progress, and a little slack and hesitation will result in the narrowing or even severance of the cultivation path.
After the explanation on the first day, Lu Ping always had a question echoing in his heart: "What is the purpose of cultivation?"
Lu Ping thought about it for a whole night, and his mind turned thousands of reasons for cultivation, and finally stopped hesitating, and his eyes became clear again.
When Liu Xianchang asked the next day, Lu Ping only had two words: longevity!
Liu Xianchang said: "Is this the only reason? But is there another reason?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the disciple had complicated thoughts in his mind, and there were thousands of ideas, no matter which one was a feasible reason, but in the end, only this one was the most practical and immortal. All other reasons will disappear over time, and this is the only reason that will last forever."
Liu Xianchang laughed "haha" for a while: "What a lasting life, children can be taught!" After that, looking at Lu Ping's eyes was complicated and difficult to distinguish for a while, there were joy, jealousy, memories, and bitterness......
Lu Ping didn't know that this was a test of the state of mind of the disciples whose cultivation had reached the eighth level, and the purpose, root, and reason for each monk's cultivation were different, and even each monk had many thoughts. Now the monk may not be aware of it, and even feel that it is a big deal, but with the improvement of cultivation and the growth of the state of mind, every thought will turn into an obsession, and every obsession is a bond to future practice.
Only by establishing an unchanging and stable practice idea will it be a guarantee for a monk to go further.
Lu Ping doesn't know these now, maybe many years later, as Lu Ping's cultivation improves, he will wake up to the importance of Liu Xianchang's problem today.
The content of the second day was about the experience and precautions of the monks in the blood refining period to impact the hemolysis period, and even the cultivation method of the hemolysis period, which made Lu Ping a little stunned.
Liu Xianchang looked at Lu Ping's expression and smiled: "Why, do you feel that cultivation is difficult now?"
Lu Ping nodded and said: "Although the disciple is determined to go on no matter how difficult it is, he did not expect it to be such a cultivation process."
Liu Xianchang said: "Do you know how many chances of blood refining monks entering the hemolysis period?"
Lu Ping said: "One in a hundred."
Liu Xianchang asked again: "Do you know the alchemy forging monk?"
Lu Ping shook his head, Liu Xian Chang said: "It is difficult to choose one thousand miles, and the elixir forging period is in danger, every step is related to the final achievement of cultivation, even this immortal leader knows very little. The True Spirit Sect plus the disciples of the other courtyards, there are tens of thousands of outer disciples, and the disciples in the hemolysis period are only a few thousand, this is because the lifespan of the monks in the hemolysis period is more than twice that of the blood refining period. As for the legendary Dharma Phase Ancestor, even this immortal leader has never seen it, he just knows that this sect must have such great power."
Lu Ping had already heard that his heart was surging at this time, and he had an infinite yearning for those masters in his heart.
Liu Xianchang saw Lu Ping's expression and knew that he was already absent-minded, so he said: "I'm here today, I'm tired, you just need to remember everything I said today."
On the contrary, the more Lu Ping listened, the more questions he had, Liu Xianchang stopped Lu Ping's questioning, and said: "The cultivation world is vast, even this immortal leader can't know everything, I can only give you the basics, and you will understand and experience it yourself in the future."
After the explanation that day, Liu Xianchang took out two pieces of jade slips and said: "These two jade slips, one that records the various natural materials and earth treasures that can be used in the cultivation world, are all summarized by the sect's seniors who have traveled around the world over the years. the other piece is the human customs of the cultivation world recorded by the predecessors of the past dynasties, which are essential for traveling."
Lu Ping took these two jade slips and pondered: "Immortal Elder, does the sect need me and other disciples to go out on missions, otherwise how could we make such thorough preparations?"
Liu Xianchang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are smart, but you are not entirely right. The sect has always ruled that disciples who have reached the eighth level of blood refining must go out to travel. Although there are no other hard and fast rules for this, but it is also for the disciples of the sect to go out as fully prepared as possible, it has always been like this, you are not special this time, after all, you are the future expectations of the sect, maybe one of them is the future master of the Dharma phase, the pillar of the sect. Although there are other things intervening this time, the specific situation is not very clear to this immortal leader, you can just wait for the news from the sect."
Liu Xianchang's words confirmed what Lu Ping was thinking, but Lu Ping's doubts were deeper.
Lu Ping came out of Liu Xianchang's house, recalling what Liu Xianchang had said, he laughed sadly, this kind of thing is something that even Liu Xianchang doesn't know much, obviously it is a real person who forges alchemy or even a more powerful means, what can he do for a small blood refining cultivator to make these characters calculate? Even if they were a little careful, with their own cultivation, that is, obedient obedience, how could they jump out of their chess game?
The only thing he can do is to practice penance step by step, so that he has an extra chance to save his life in the calculations of the big man.
