Chapter 767: Loyal Tian Buyi
"...Master, these are the tricks for cultivating the Jade Purity Realm."
Su Mingzhe spoke eloquently, explaining the "tricks" of the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm, and then said solemnly:
"In the Jade Purity Realm, one cultivates one's essence, energy and spirit. The steps of cultivation can be summarized in twelve words: 'Refine essence into energy, refine energy into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness'. Once the essence, energy and spirit are united into one, one can enter the Upper Purity Realm."
"Because the cultivation method is simple, if you want to take shortcuts in the Jade Purity Realm, you only need to follow the simple word 'smoothly'."
"The so-called 'follow' means that the nine levels of cultivation in the Jade Purity Realm all have traces to follow. As long as we find the rules and follow the natural course, everything will fall into place. There is no need to fight against the current!"
"Xiao Qi said it very well."
"We all have the same master and the same mistress, why are you the only one who is so good at it?"
"Master, I want to try out Xiao Qi's method!"
"..."
Several fellow disciples listened to Su Mingzhe's description of how to use tricks to practice the Jade Purity Realm technique. Various thoughts flashed through their minds, and the bottleneck that had troubled them for many years seemed to be solved at this moment.
At this time, they all wanted to go down and test whether it was true or not.
"Go, go, be careful."
Tian Buyi looked at the eager looks of the six disciples and knew that they were already getting impatient, so he waved his hand and told them to find a quiet room to practice.
In fact, after listening to Su Mingzhe's explanation, Tian Buyi and Su Ru were also shaken and wished they could become teenagers again and practice all over again.
After a few disciples left.
Tian Buyi continued to ask Su Mingzhe what he thought about practicing in Shangqing Realm.
"Um... Master, you only passed on the Shangqingjing Heart Method to me last year. After a year of research, I have come up with a little trick, but I haven't fully verified it yet."
Su Mingzhe himself had practiced it a long time ago.
However, the clone's current strength is only at the first level of Shangqing Realm, so the tone must be low-key.
"It's okay. If you have any insights, just tell me. Your master and your master's wife can help you with your reference."
It has been about one or two hundred years since Tian Buyi and Su Ru entered Shangqing Realm. They had already accepted their fate and believed that this was how their life would be.
After all, in the 2,000 years of Qingyun Sect’s inheritance, only two ancestors had entered the Taiqing Realm.
It doesn't seem shameful to be unable to break through the realm.
However, now that his disciple is so smart and clever, Tian Buyi naturally wants to try his best.
"Master, Master's Wife, if that's the case, then I will speak out boldly!"
Su Mingzhe straightened up when he heard his master say this, and then continued:
"Just now, I thought that the key to success in cultivation in the Jade Purity Realm was to follow the word 'smoothly'!"
"The cultivation in the Upper Purity Realm is completely different from that in the Jade Purity Realm. It should be based on the word 'specialization'!"
"'Specialize'?"
Tian Buyi, Su Ru, and even Tian Ling'er beside them were all confused:
"how to explain?"
Su Mingzhe thought about it for a while before speaking:
"The founder divided the [Taiji Xuanqing Dao] into three realms: 'Yuqing', 'Shangqing', and 'Taiqing'. I will describe them in three sentences."
“Look at the mountain, it’s a mountain!”
“Look at the mountain, it’s not a mountain!”
“Look at the mountain, it’s still a mountain!”
"The Jade Purity Realm means 'seeing a mountain as a mountain', so we must look for patterns and respond accordingly."
“When you reach the realm of Shangqing, you will see that ‘the mountain is not a mountain’… Therefore, we must be firm in our hearts. How can we be firm in our hearts? It’s all about ‘focus’!”
Su Mingzhe spoke eloquently and expressed his own views.
Tian Ling'er felt drowsy after listening to this.
However, the eyes of Tian Buyi and Su Ru became brighter and brighter. Their years of confusion disappeared in just a few words from their disciple.
This feeling is like the sun coming out after the clouds have cleared and the rain has stopped.
The couple now wished they could return to the secret practice room immediately, have a good retreat, and break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
"Xiao Qi, what you said... is really great!"
For a moment, Tian Buyi didn't know how to evaluate his disciple.
Fortunately, he has always been calm and composed. He suppressed the urge to go into seclusion immediately and continued to ask:
"Then how do you think we should cultivate the Great Purity Realm?"
Su Mingzhe resisted the urge to roll his eyes, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Master, I don't have the mental method of the Taiqing Realm, how can I know how to practice in the Taiqing Realm?"
"You don't know, can I tell you?"
Tian Buyi smiled awkwardly, and quickly asked his wife to go to the bedroom and get the complete version of the three volumes of "Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao" exercises.
Su Mingzhe took the technique, read it carefully, and then acted as if relieved:
"Sure enough, it's just as I guessed. The key to cultivating the Great Purity Realm is the word 'enlightenment'!"
"'Satoru'?"
Tian Buyi and Su Ru quickly straightened their postures and asked the little disciple to explain in detail what he had "realized".
Su Mingzhe was not polite and directly expressed his understanding:
"Master, I have guessed about the third level of [Taiji Xuanqing Dao] before. To cultivate the Jade Purity Realm, I only need to work hard to observe the rules and follow the trend, and I can practice it easily."
"When you reach the Upper Pure Realm, you need a certain amount of wisdom and perseverance to see through illusions, concentrate on your practice, and not be disturbed by the outside world, in order to achieve perfection in your practice." "And if you want to practice the Great Pure Realm mental method, you need the word 'enlightenment'."
"If you can understand it, you can practice it. If you can't understand it, you can only wander outside the door and worry about it."
Tian Buyi was anxious when he saw his apprentice talking nonsense.
"Then how can we understand it?"
Su Mingzhe did not keep his master waiting and continued:
"People with great wisdom and perseverance can easily understand the truth of heaven and earth by just watching the flowers bloom and fade, the plants grow, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the cycle of the four seasons. This is called 'Tao follows nature'."
"The next level of people need to enter the secular world and experience all kinds of hardships, birth, aging, sickness and death, separation, joy and sorrow, until they see through the secular world and leave it, and then they can realize the truth."
"Those who have not experienced the great terror of life and death cannot attain enlightenment."
"To summarize again: In the Jade Purity Realm, what one cultivates is 'goodness'. This 'goodness' does not mean being kind, but it means understanding the laws of everything, going with the flow, and being good at it."
"In the Shangqing Realm, what we cultivate is 'evil'. This 'evil' is not the evil of evil. When we encounter the adverse evil and obstacles in the practice, we must cut through them and move forward courageously. Only in this way can we make further progress!"
"In the Taiqing Realm, what one cultivates is 'perseverance'. This 'perseverance' is not 'perseverance' or 'stubbornness', but 'perseverance to the Tao'. Only by adhering to the Tao and thinking about it constantly can one embrace the origin and maintain unity, and reach the Tao...!"
It is obvious that Tian Buyi and Su Ru do not have any great wisdom.
Su Mingzhe tried his best to explain it to the two, but they could only understand the literal meaning. However, that was all they understood.
The two of them were completely confused and had no idea what to do.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe could only advise the two:
"Master, Master's Wife, you should first complete your cultivation in the Upper Purity Realm before thinking about cultivating in the Great Purity Realm."
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't aim too high."
Tian Buyi also knew that he was a little restless, so he quickly calmed down, focused his mind, and stopped thinking about things he shouldn't think about.
At this time, Su Ru told Su Mingzhe:
"Xiao Qi, your comprehension talent far exceeds that of your six senior brothers. You need to pay more attention to their cultivation in the future."
"As long as Master and Master's Wife don't accuse me of being 'opportunistic', as fellow disciples, it is my duty to help each other."
Su Mingzhe expressed his opinion, and then smiled and said, "Master, Master's wife, it's almost noon, I'm going to make lunch first."
Su Ru listened and nodded slightly:
"Go ahead, but I don't think anyone will come to eat lunch at noon."
Su Mingzhe doesn't care whether others eat or not. As the chef of Dazhu Peak, he must do his daily job well.
At night.
Song Daren, with his accumulated strength, was the first to break through from the fifth level of Yuqing Realm to the sixth level.
On the second day.
Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali and Lu Daxin also broke through from the fourth level to the fifth level one after another.
A few more days passed.
He Dazhi followed in the footsteps of his senior brother and broke through to the sixth level.
More than a month passed.
Only then did Du Bishu make some progress in practicing the 'White Bone Visualization Method' and his cultivation level broke through to the fourth level.
In addition to these disciples' breakthroughs, Tian Buyi and Su Ru also made great progress and broke through one or two levels of the Shangqing Realm.
Today is the full moon night of the month.
After Tian Buyi had dinner with his disciples, he took his wife for a walk on the top of the mountain and couldn't help but sigh:
"Junior sister, Xiao Qi is too talented. It would be unfair to let him stay at Dazhu Peak."
Before Tian Buyi accepted Su Mingzhe as his disciple, he had a total of six disciples.
Among these six disciples, except for the fourth disciple He Dazhi who is slightly normal, the other five all have their own shortcomings and problems, and their qualifications can be said to be extremely mediocre.
Now, Su Mingzhe, such a genius, became his disciple, which made Tian Buyi worry about "misleading young students".
"Brother, do you want to send Xiao Qi to Tongtian Peak?"
Su Ru and Tian Buyi have been husband and wife for nearly two hundred years, and they have long been connected in spirit.
Although she understood her husband's concerns, she was reluctant to give up such an outstanding disciple.
Tian Buyi nodded slowly and said with a smile:
"I saw the shadow of Senior Brother Wan in Xiao Qi, so I want to send him to Senior Brother Wan to let him teach him!"
"Brother, no matter what decision you make, I support you!"
Although Su Ru was reluctant, she was willing to support her husband.
Seeing this, Tian Buyi couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his arms, waved his robe, and flew into the air, heading towards Tongtian Peak.
Tongtian Peak is not far from Dazhu Peak, the straight-line distance is only about fifty miles.
Tian Buyi flew at full speed and reached the destination in just a cup of tea.
He did not go to the Yuqing Hall on the top of Tongtian Peak, but turned and came to the ancestral temple in the back mountain.
When Tian Buyi entered the ancestral hall, he saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face, walking out with a broom in his hand, with a happy face, smiling:
"Junior Brother Tian, you are still here at the ancestral hall so late, is there something wrong?"
