How could it not be a lifetime? Longevity, power, wealth, what was the point of thinking so much?
He was fiddling with the new items. Although he was only in the middle stage of Qi Eater, this person's wealth was not as shabby as the rogue cultivators in Pu City. Sure enough, those who could survive in the night were the cream of the crop.
There were a few bottles of elixirs and dozens of talismans. There was no cultivation method, but there was a Foundation Establishment experience of a Qi Eater cultivator passed down from a certain sect.
In terms of value, it was not as good as Liang Kuangren, but it was above most rogue cultivators. However, what Lou Xiaoyi was interested in was not the elixirs and talismans, but the experience!
He had been cultivating for four years and was basically in a state of exploring alone. This was actually the state of most rogue cultivators. He was too lazy to seek refuge with a certain sect. Firstly, he did not know, secondly, it did not matter, and thirdly, he did not want to lose face!
So what if it was longevity? Face was more important than longevity! This was Lou Xiaoyi's hidden attitude towards life!
Although this was a cultivation world, it was not easy to see cultivators with a sect background. Some potential cultivators in the Qi Eating stage were not allowed to go out easily. At this stage, the sect would only invest in them, but they would not get anything in return. They ate and drank from the sect and used the sect's resources, yet they still went out to court death. This was not allowed.
In any case, Lou Xiaoyi had met two cultivators with sect backgrounds. Unfortunately, he didn't manage to befriend them. Instead, he sent them to the Western Paradise. This was fate!
A Foundation Establishment cultivator could come out at will, but such a big shot like the one in the sky just now, how could it be easy to meet them?
Birds do not talk with insects, eagles do not fight with chickens, humans do not fight with dogs, they are not on the same level!
Opportunities were mysterious and unpredictable. Since Lou Xiaoyi's opportunity with the red thread worm, it seemed that all his luck had left him. There were no more encounters worth mentioning. For example, if he met a young lady from a big sect, or an old man from a certain sect, would they have nothing better to do than to tease a rogue cultivator like him?
There was an invisible wall that completely divided the cultivation world into several spaces. In the world of rogue cultivators, you could only see rogue cultivators forever. When you met a cultivator of a higher level, it often didn't mean that luck had come, but that disaster had befallen you!
Just like Monk Qing Mu and the Daoist who jumped over the wall …
It was precisely because of this that things like insights were often more precious than cultivation techniques to rogue cultivators. Not only could it let you know the how, it could also let you know the why! It went without saying that the experience of someone who had been through it would be a great guide for a newbie.
Lou Xiaoyi began to read the book carefully. He was not in a hurry to go back because the rebellion in Nightly City had just been settled. There were many disloyal people scattered in the city. He was not afraid of those mortal outlaws, but he was afraid that if there were still cultivators who were still holding a grudge against his second uncle's betrayal, they might have a backup plan!
For people like Second Uncle, even if he was really harmed, the imperial court would not pursue the matter too much. They might even think that it was a good thing that he died, so that everyone would not feel awkward!
He planned to stay for another ten days. After the new Emperor Ceremony, the order would be established and the evil would be wiped out. Cultivators would leave the city to pursue their own futures before leaving. When he returned, he could give a perfect explanation to his mother, lest the old lady would say that he did not put in effort and did everything half-heartedly!
Since he had nothing to do, he could study the book and find out the reason why he was having difficulties in the later stage of Qi-eating.
Qi-eating was also known as Qi-training, Qi-nourishing, Qi-waiting, Qi-benefiting, and so on. There were many names, but in fact, they all had the same meaning. It was the process of cultivators who had just started to cultivate by eating the spiritual vigor of heaven and earth.
In the early stage of cultivation, cultivators placed great importance on the Dantian, and the form of spiritual power in the Dantian was used to differentiate between realms. For example, the Dantian of a cultivator in the Qi-eating stage was a gaseous Dantian. Relatively speaking, the gaseous state was also the physical state with the lowest spiritual vigor!
It was the first gaseous state!
When the spiritual vigor in a cultivator's Dantian became denser and denser, under the combined influence of cultivation techniques, pills, external objects, opportunities, luck, environment, mental state, and other factors, the gaseous Dantian would undergo a mutation. It was like the accumulation of clouds in the sky producing rain. Finally, the gaseous cloud-shaped spiritual vigor would turn into a clear spring, completing the qualitative change from gaseous to liquid. This was the Foundation Establishment stage!
In this world, the Foundation Establishment stage was known as the Foundation Establishment stage. From a completely new perspective, it was known as the Perception stage. It was also known as the Spiritual Sensing stage, the Zither Heart stage, and the Returning to Childhood stage. They all had the same meaning, referring to the various mystical aspects of the Foundation Establishment stage.
It was the second gaseous state!
With the growth of one's cultivation, the Dantian of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would become more viscous and refined. One day, under the combined influence of countless external and internal factors, the liquid Dantian would condense into a solid state, and the spiritual vigor would also become more substantial. This was the Controlled Dan stage!
The Controlled Dan stage was also known as the Jin Dan stage, the Cloud Soaring stage, and the Yuan Dan stage. This was already the peak of the initial stages of a cultivator. Even in the so-called Upper Realm, it was the backbone of cultivation. If it was in the cultivation world where Lou Xiaoyi was from, it would be an existence like an ancestor.
He had heard of it before, but it was only in legends!
Right now, Lou Xiaoyi's dantian was a ball of misty spiritual vigor. It was far from being viscous and was in the process of accumulating. However, this process seemed to be somewhat slow and seemed to take a long time.
He hoped to find a place that would be helpful to him in this book. Intuition told him that if this continued, the chances of success would not be high.
The entire book was called Looking Back. It was not clear which sect it came from, because it was not stated clearly. The entire book was a review of his understanding of cultivation during the process of consuming Qi, all the way until he succeeded in establishing his Foundation.
As for how to gather Qi more effectively, he had not found a solution. After all, this senior might not have experienced too much trouble. However, he saw a few very interesting problems on how to establish his Foundation.
According to this senior, whether one could succeed in establishing their Foundation, or whether they could succeed in establishing their Foundation, depended on many circumstances.
In terms of methodology, there were two ways to establish one's Foundation. The first was to consume a Foundation Establishment Pill, which turned clouds into rain and acted as a catalyst. It could induce the spiritual vigor cloud in one's Dantian to fall and turn into rain. This would eliminate the need for opportunities, luck, environment, and other completely uncontrollable influences. If one placed their hopes on a flash of inspiration, the chances of success would be so low that it would make one's hair stand on end.
The other method was the ancient method, which was purely a flash of inspiration or a sudden impulse. All kinds of external and internal factors would converge at a certain point in time to form a combined force. This method was actually the most natural and also the best method because it followed the will of Heaven and abandoned the influence of man. This was the original intention of Taoism.
The temporary advantages were not obvious, but they were very important. As one's cultivation increased, it would have a certain impact on one's growth. For example, when one formed their Core or formed their Nascent Soul, if all other conditions were the same, there was a difference between using the ancient method and consuming a pill. Even the slightest difference would have a profound impact on a cultivator. The higher one's cultivation level, the more important it would be. This was the importance of the Dao Foundation.
