After seeing the chickens raised by the Chicken Soup Monk, the gray-clothed monk finally brought Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian, who were silent, to the flat land behind the Chicken Soup Temple.

This is a huge platform.

Bells in the morning and drums in the evening, swallowing clouds and puffing out mist.

Because of the terrain, the sky here seems to be clearly visible.

Hundreds of monks, either naked to the upper body, exposing their bronze skin, or covered in light clothing, are sitting here with their eyes closed and concentrating, with their legs crossed.

Of all the practicing monks, not one of them rashly interrupted their practice and opened their eyes because of the arrival of Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian.

"This is the place where our Jitang Temple monks practice." The monk in gray clothes introduced the two of them.

Qin Yitian was a little curious, "But I saw that none of them were breathing in spiritual energy. What kind of practice is this?"

Indeed, among the hundreds of practicing monks present, not one of them was running the exercises and absorbing spiritual power. They were just sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, like a piece of dry stone, which was completely different from the practice that ordinary people imagined.

"Our practice in the Longxiang lineage emphasizes the integration of Zen and martial arts."

The practicing monk in gray clothes didn't take it seriously and explained: "Zen and martial arts have the same origin, Zen is the master of martial arts, and martial arts is the use of Zen. Therefore, the practicing monks in this temple generally spend one year practicing Zen and one year practicing gong."

"Enlightening Zen is like this, letting the wind and sun shine, being in tune with heaven and earth, and understanding heaven and earth."

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and didn't say much.

To say that it is Zen enlightenment is actually a bit too esoteric. That is what Buddhism calls it. According to the most popular explanation, it is: cultivating the soul.

This is Long Xiang’s special technique, which is used to refine the soul in the form of Zen enlightenment.

Yes, the Dragon Elephant cultivator who practices body cultivation actually regards tempering the soul as important as tempering the physical body.

Of course, this is also in line with the principles of spiritual practice.

Ti Xiu is known as the "hardest" person in the world of spiritual practice. Naturally, he can't be a man of gold and jade, but everything is rotten inside.

If you only train your body but not your mind, it will break when you touch it before the soul attacks, and it will disappear as soon as you touch it. Wouldn't it be like a silver spear and a candle holder?

The dragon-elephant body is so hard that not only the physical body is indestructible, but the soul is also invincible. It is a kind of hardness from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, with almost no flaws.

Lu Qingshan looked around the huge square and found that there were many sunken potholes on the hard rock ground.

The monk in gray clothes also noticed Lu Qingshan's gaze and said proudly: "This is the mark left by the eminent monks in the temple. Because of their successful practice, their marrow is like frost, their blood is like mercury slurry, and their bodies have reached the highest level.

Weighing ten thousand kilograms, even the ground cannot bear their weight as they sit here to meditate and sink in."

Looking around, there are not many potholes of this style on the flat ground.

Each pothole represents a powerful and accomplished monk in Jitang Temple.

No wonder the monk in gray clothes is so proud.

"Young master, did you get the abbot's permission to bring my young master to the place of practice in your temple? Aren't you afraid that your temple's wonderful magic will be leaked in front of my young master?" Qin Yitian said playfully.

"Of course it was agreed upon. How can the ten thousand-year inheritance of my Dragon Elephant be seen through with just a few glances?

Besides, among the seven great sects, which one would hide their own methods?

Our Dragon Elephant's defense is said to be indestructible. Outsiders have seen it for countless years, but so what, isn't it just that we can only be defeated by our Diamond Body?

The same is true for other major sects, such as the monks of the Sword Sect. Their flying swords are fast and sharp. Everyone in the world knows these two characteristics. But under the flying sword, do you still have to die?" Hui Yixiong, who has always been very polite,

When the monk mentioned his sect, he rarely showed a bit of pride in his words.

It was obvious that he was proud of his sect.

This is also normal. For a strong sect, the most basic thing is the centripetal force of the disciples. The disciples will be proud of the sect.

If a disciple is just filled with resentment when he mentions his sect, then the sect will not be able to pass on for too long.

Interestingly, as far as Lu Qingshan knows, the sect that does the best in this regard should be... his own sect?

It's even a little too good.

It is pitiful for you to see that even Haoran Jian, who has the most gentlemanly personality, when he mentions Jian Zong, his words always imply that Jian Zong is the best in the world.

After seeing the training place of Jitang Temple, Lu Qingshan did not wander around any more. He thanked the monk in gray clothes and returned to the meditation room.

…

The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup doesn't mind how long Lu Qingshan stays in the temple. In the grand Chicken Soup Temple, a Jianzong guest can still afford it.

That's what he said, but naturally he couldn't stay in Chicken Soup Temple for too long.

The most important thing for him right now is to rebuild the Dao foundation.

Lu Qingshan opened the panel, and there were two lines of small firefly characters flashing in it.

One line is the prompt for gaining experience points after killing the mountain ghost.

Lu Qingshan didn't know what state the mountain ghost was in.

But the clone of the thunder-generating treasure tree transformed by the mountain ghost is indeed only at the peak of the fifth level.

Killing the mountain ghost's clone of the Thunder Treasure Tree, including the reward for leveling up, gave him an experience value of 600,000.

Including the 460,000 experience points he originally stored, Lu Qingshan's current total experience points is 1.06 million.

These experiences can only be enough for him to practice to the golden elixir stage.

Another line of small firefly characters:

"Enlightenment of the artistic conception!...The killing sword intention has been raised to perfection!"

"Ability improvement!...Your soul has been improved! (+150)"

After reaching the perfection of the Killing Sword Intent, his soul had already broken through the late stage of Condensation without even realizing it, heading towards the perfection of Condensation.

This is a blessing.

Unfortunately, the spiritual power value column is just a miserable 0.

Although his rank indicated that he was still in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and even though he was in the Jitang Holy Temple, a sense of crisis that life and death was not in his own hands always lingered around Lu Qingshan.

This made Lu Qingshan, who was used to dealing with all situations with the sword in his hand, feel a little uneasy.

No longer thinking about it, he clicked on "Dragon Elephant Mysterious Skill" and decided to find a little sense of security for himself first.

The first method of refining qi is just practiced.

"[Dragon Elephant Xuan Gong] (Qi Refining Chapter) has been upgraded to lv1, and the spiritual power value is +40!"

"[Dragon Elephant Mysterious Skill] (Qi Refining Chapter) has been upgraded to lv2, and the spiritual power value is +40!"

.......

"[Dragon Elephant Xuan Gong] (Qi Refining Chapter) has been upgraded to lv10, and the spiritual power value is +40!"

"[Dragon Elephant Xuan Gong] (Qi Refining Chapter) has been upgraded to the highest level, and the spiritual power value is +200!"

"[Dragon Elephant Mysterious Kung Fu] (Qi Refining Chapter) has been upgraded to the highest level, and you have obtained the magical power of the technique: [Seeing God and Not Being Bad]!"

【Seeing God is not bad】

Current deified Yuan Qiao: 09

Current realm: First level (unfinished)

The experience value required to deify Yuan Qiao in the current state is: 0500.

Looking at the information on the panel, Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.

No wonder the Chicken Soup Sage said that there are many monks in Chicken Soup Temple who have delayed their practice because they are obsessed with enlightenment.

Just for the first level of heaven, to deify a Yuan Qiao requires 500 experience points.

To deify the nine Yuan Qiaos, it requires 4,500 experience points.

From his current perspective, 4,500 experience points are just drizzle, but that's because he was a Nascent Soul cultivator not long ago, so he can't generalize.

You must know that when he cultivated "Qi Guiding Technique" to the full level, he spent a total of 5,500 experience points.

With 4,500 experience points, I can soon learn the "Qi Entrainment Technique" from scratch.

Except for his special situation, if an ordinary monk wants to see God's immortality, it is equivalent to spending twice as much energy in practicing other ordinary skills.

This is just one day.

What about the second heaven, the third heaven, and the perfect fourth heaven?

How terrible would it be to consume energy and time?

How can an ordinary Qi-refining monk afford to spend so much money?

It is a pity that this multiple-choice question that has troubled countless Longxiang monks is just a question for Lu Qingshan.

In the Zen room, everything is silent.

Lu Qingshan was running the Xuan Gong and silently meditating on the secret of searching for the aperture.

"After the bone is completed, the bony protrusion is found behind the ear, and the lower edge of the four quarters of the bone is flat."

"The hair in the upper ear is an inch and a half, and the horn is above the sun, facing the valley."
