Chapter 4: First step into cultivating immortals ()

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Ding Qing has been in seclusion for nearly half a year, and Wei Shu has also waited anxiously for nearly half a year.

During the past six months, Wei Shu was really anxious and waited for a while almost every afternoon to see if Grandpa Ding had come out of seclusion.

He didn't expect that it would take half a year to close once!

If he had let him know that those people with high cultivation would often stay in seclusion for ten or decades, I really don’t know what he would feel!

Fortunately, Ding Qing just dealt with his physical injuries. If he wanted to completely heal and eradicate the future, he would need a long period of cultivation to recover. So half a year later, Ding Qing came out of seclusion!

Wei Shu was so happy that he finally could cultivate immortality!

After Ding Qing was conditioned for two days and his body was generally unhindered, he called Wei Shu and said to him: "I know that you have learned martial arts from your grandfather, but cultivating immortals is a hundred times more difficult than practicing martial arts. Cultivating immortals requires great perseverance and wisdom, and you must endure loneliness. Otherwise, you may not achieve anything in your life, and even more, you will die in the process of cultivation. There are many disasters, and you are most afraid of great joy and sorrow. I think that your mood is unstable now. If you practice immediately, you may have harm but no benefits. You need to know that the initial practice will affect your future practice, so you must lay a solid foundation."

After a pause, Ding Qing thought for a moment and took out two pages of paper from his arms. The paper was densely filled with small words and handed them to Wei Shu. He said to him solemnly: "I have a mantra that I got accidentally. I can calm my mind when I recite it. I saw that the environment of these mountains is good, so I decided to open a simple cave on this mountain to heal the wounds and teach you how to cultivate immortality. I will make some arrangements first. Remember to remember to remember the mantras frequently and calm your mind."

"Yes, Grandpa Ding!" Wei Shu didn't dare to be careless and answered quickly.

Seeing Wei Shu agreeing, Ding Qing was very satisfied. He walked out the door and smiled at Wei Liang who was busy and said, "I'll leave for a while, take care of you."

After saying that, he turned into a long rainbow, soared into the sky and disappeared among the mountains. Such a method made the grandparents and grandchildren amazed again.

Next, Wei Shu kept in mind Ding Qing's teachings and recited the mantra every day, in addition to helping his grandfather organize herbs.

At first, no matter how hard he tried, he remembered that he wanted to cultivate immortality and had the magical power of flying in the sky and hiding the earth, and he could not calm down. But as the mantra became more and more familiar, he found that he could control his mood changes at will.

Whenever an excited thought arises in his mind, the mantra will automatically flow out of his mind and quickly calm down in a short period of time.

As the mantra became more and more familiar, Wei Shu found that he could finally calm down without being very happy and sad.

A month later, Ding Qing landed in the yard and saw that Wei Shu's eyebrows had escaped from the young man's childishness and youth, and became mature and steady. He admired him very much, but a hint of pity flashed through him: if he had such a good understanding, if he had good qualifications, he would have been expected to ascend to the immortals. However, the qualifications...

Why!

Ding Qing sighed in his heart and praised Wei Shu: "Good boy, not bad! In such a short time, he mastered the mantra and had a very good understanding."

Wei Shu just smiled and said to Ding Qing: "Thank you Grandpa Ding for your praise. I wonder, can you teach me to cultivate immortality now?"

"Okay, then you're ready! We'll go to the mountain to teach you how to practice tomorrow."

On this day, Wei Shu followed his grandfather closely, and was quite reluctant to leave him. He worked harder than usual, and wanted to finish all the work.

The next day, the grandparents and grandchildren got up early in the morning, and Ding Qing stood not far outside the door, waiting for the two to say goodbye.

The grandparents and grandsons met silently. After all, it was Wei Shu's first time leaving home. Although he was close to him and could go home at any time, he still couldn't help feeling empty and sad.

Grandpa seemed to see through his heart and comforted him, "Shu'er, your parents died early, I only have a grandson like you. I feel very pleased with you when you can cultivate immortality. I know you are reluctant to let your grandpa go, but you can't be half-hearted in doing anything, otherwise you will accomplish nothing. Therefore, you must hold back and concentrate on cultivating immortality, and never waste this hard-earned opportunity."

"Grandpa..." Wei Shu became choked unconsciously and couldn't say a word.

"Okay, you are still big and crying, not like a man! Remember, in the future, grandpa is no longer by your side, you must listen to your grandpa Ding and practice with your grandpa Ding." Grandpa taught a lesson and gave advice. Obviously, he couldn't bear to part with his grandchildren.

"I understand, grandpa, you have to pay attention to your health in the future. I will come back regularly to accompany you to collect herbs." Wei Shu was very serious.

"Go, your Grandpa Ding is still waiting for you!"

"Grandpa, I'm leaving, you need to take care of yourself! I will come back to see you often!"

Seeing that the two of them had finished saying goodbye, Ding Qing greeted him, took Wei Shu, and set up the escape light and soared into the sky.

Wei Shu was flying for the first time. Although he was taken by someone and could not fall, he still couldn't help but feel panic. Moreover, because Ding Qing was flying too fast, he felt his chest was stuffy and he couldn't breathe, and he was suffocating.

"Don't panic, be calm."

In a panic, I suddenly heard a loud shout from my ears, and I suddenly recited the nameless mantra, gradually getting rid of the fear in my heart, and even opening my eyes to overlook the earth.

But before I could finish my feelings, my feet were shocked and my destination had arrived!

I was surprised and suddenly heard Ding Qing say, "If you have high cultivation in the future, you can control your own energy and fly in the air. Now your main purpose is to cultivate your sense of energy and improve your cultivation."

After saying that, he was in front of a broken wall, and he pinched the spiritual skills with both hands. He saw a cloud and mist surging in front of him. In an instant, a dark cave door was revealed.

"Come with me! Follow my steps and don't lose it!"

With a command, Ding Qing stepped into the cave first. Soon, he saw a wide hall in front of him. The hall was connected to several bedrooms, which was quite spacious.

"This is my bedroom and place of practice," Ding Qing pointed to one of the bedrooms and said to Wei Shu, then pointed to the other bedroom next to him and said, "In the future, that will be your place of practice."

"You have a rest now. From tomorrow, I will officially teach you how to cultivate immortals and practice." Ding Qing ordered.

"Yes, Grandpa Ding." Wei Shu replied, and then went to rest.

The next day, Ding Qing sat upright and asked Wei Shu to sit cross-legged in front of him, calming his mind, and then said: "The cultivation stage of immortals is clearly divided into nine major realms, namely Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Out-of-body Stage, Spirit Distribution Stage, Combination Stage, Tribulation Stage, and Mahayana Stage. Qi Refining is divided into sixteen levels. When you reach the ten levels of realm, you can fast. The sixteenth level is called the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage. After some preparation, you can start an impact on the Foundation Building Stage. And each major realm in the middle is divided into three stages before, middle and back. When you reach the Mahayana Stage, the ascension is just around the corner!"

Speaking of this, Ding Qing paused for a moment, then sighed, "But according to records, in the past 100,000 years, there are only a handful of monks who have reached the out-of-body stage, and there are not even a period of ascension. It is just because of a major change tens of thousands of years ago that the spiritual energy in the mortal world became thinner and more difficult to practice. Before that, the world of immortal cultivation was full of talents, and a monk successfully ascended the spiritual world ten thousand years later, which can be called the golden age of immortal cultivation. But now... hey--"

He sighed and said to Wei Shu earnestly: "It's too early to say this now. The reason why I told you this is to make your eyes look long-term. Although you have ordinary qualifications, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation and not rush to achieve success."

"The reason why the Qi Refining Period is divided into sixteen levels is because laying a solid foundation is the most important thing."

After saying this, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Wei Shu and said, "This is the practice of Qi Refining Stage. I will only explain the key points. If you listen well, the rest will depend on you to understand it yourself. Everyone has a different understanding of the exercises, which may affect their future practices. Of course, the impact will be good and bad, but I still don't want to impose my understanding on you. I hope you can understand it yourself."
