Chapter 15 Realm of Comprehension
The boat is moving fast, like a silver fish jumping on the water.The sea and sky in the distance are the same color, the sky is connected to the distant water, and the water is connected to the distant sky. The waves are ups and downs, which is very spectacular.

Zheng Xingping divided the 250 outer disciples into five teams.Together with Qin Di, several disciples of the third-rank spiritual root were evenly distributed, and each team had one person, standing in five square teams.

Then, he called out the five inner disciples who were following him, and asked them to pick a team and stand in front of the phalanx.

These inner sect disciples were not very old, they looked like they were all young and middle-aged, all of them were dressed in green shirts, with prominent horns, obviously they were not ordinary people.

In addition, Zheng Xingping called five senior monks from the cabin and ordered them to stand beside the phalanx.These people are older and their hair is a little gray.

Qin Di didn't know much about Xiuren's situation, so he couldn't judge their real age.

At this time, the five phalanxes were lined up neatly. Zheng Xingping walked to the height of the bow and began to speak to everyone. His voice was a little passionate: "Our Jin Danzong recruits a group of disciples every ten years. Half of the recruits are recruited from the Northern Wei Kingdom. I am in charge of the Yue Kingdom's test, and another outer sect elder surnamed Gu is in charge of the selection of Wei Guo. Except for the servant disciples, the rest are outer disciples, a total of 500 people , Divided into ten teams, each team is fifty, led by a senior brother who is the leader of the tenth level of Qi refining. It is the young people standing in front of you. In addition to the leading senior brother, there is also an experienced elder who also has the late stage of Qi refining. He is responsible for daily life and helps answer questions. He is your enlightenment teacher. This elder is a supervisory teacher, just take care of it You can only come to me if you encounter problems that cannot be solved by the leading senior brother and Meng Shi!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Xingping laughed twice: "However, you usually can't find this elder! Because everyone has to practice, including your team leader brother, they are very busy, and I am even busier. There are not many I will teach you the kung fu. The disciples of this school are loosely managed, and the practice depends on you."

More than 200 young people stood on the deck, listening to the elders.

Zheng Xingping looked at everyone and said: "Although the management is loose, there are still some assessments, and they are quite strict! You have to remember that every spring at this time, the progress of skills will be assessed; every three years, there will be a test The door competition. If you fail the test, you will be whipped and served, and if you are serious, you will be expelled from the sect!"

Everyone felt uneasy, not knowing what was considered qualified and what was not.

Elder Zheng continued: "There are thirteen floors in the entire Qi refining period, the first four floors belong to the early stage of Qi refining, the fifth to eighth floors belong to the middle stage of Qi refining, the ninth to twelve floors belong to the late stage of Qi refining, and the twelve floors belong to the second stage of Qi refining." The first floor is also called the "Peak of Qi Refining", and the thirteenth floor is the "Great Consummation of Qi Refining". According to the regulations of the sect: after one year of entry, one must perfect the foundation of cultivation, be full of spirit, full of qi and blood, strong muscles and bones, and To find the sense of qi, step into the first level of Qi refining; after three years of entry, enter the second level; after five years of entry, enter the third level; after seven years of entry, enter the fourth level; after ten years of entry, enter the fifth level of mid-stage Qi refining ;After 30 years of entry, stepping into the late stage of the ninth level of Qi refining, you can become an inner disciple. These are all dead rules, and each time has a minimum standard. If you can't complete it, you will be delayed for half a year at most, and you will be sent back to your original place !"

Speaking of this, the light in his eyes radiated, forcing everyone to feel awe-inspiring, and then he said: "Don't think that sending back to the place of origin is a light punishment! Wouldn't it be good to be able to go home? No! Cultivation does not build a foundation. Old age is nothing! Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t build a foundation, you won’t have a solid foundation. If you return to Yue Kingdom, you will lack spiritual energy and no spiritual stones to support it. Within two or three years, your skills will be useless! Think about it, hard work , and finally turned back to a mortal, isn't this the greatest punishment?"

Hearing this, someone below couldn't help it, and began to whisper: "It's scary! One step a year, why is the card so strict?"

"I'm really going to die. My aptitude is not good. Can I reach the standard size?"

"It's hard! My uncle was kicked home! Later, I was completely crippled!"

Most of the disciples have just passed three tests in a row, which is when they are full of confidence, so they don't care much.There are also people who have good spiritual roots and feel that they are superior to others, so they straighten their chests and show a complacent look on their faces.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, I have been practicing for more than ten years, and now I am on the second floor of Qi Refining!"

"I've practiced for five years, one level of Qi Refining..."

"No problem, although I haven't cultivated, but our aptitude is good, no matter what, we are faster than others!"

"I heard that some people reached the peak of qi refining in 20 years. How could there be such a low standard, and it took 30 years to reach the late stage of qi refining?"

"Don't worry, that standard is for people with poor qualifications..."

Amidst the whispers, Zheng Xingping's words continued to float into everyone's ears: "It was said before that 30 years will be less than the late stage of Qi refining, and you will be sent back to your original place. The ending is tragic and pitiful. If you pass this level, you will be much better all of a sudden. , After entering the late stage of Qi refining, according to the regulations, one Jiazi cultivates to the peak of Qi refining, even if it fails, you can go to the dense forest of the Western Mountains to plant spiritual grass, or go to the surrounding islands to guard the spiritual fields. It is much better to continue to practice than to be sent back to the original place. "

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and said again; "If you step into the thirteenth level of Qi refining, even if you have cultivated two Jiazi, you can't build a foundation for 120 years, and you can still be hired as a deacon to manage the industries in various places in the sect. Sufficient spiritual energy, and a panacea to prolong life, can live to a very high lifespan. You must know that each level of skill will increase a lot of lifespan. Ordinary people live to be 70 years old, and the early stage of Qi refining is 130 years old. , 160 years old in the middle stage, 250 years old in the later stage, [-] years old at the peak of Qi refining, if you reach the thirteenth level of Dzogchen, you can live [-] years old, think about how carefree, free and beautiful the second half of your life is!"

Many disciples were fascinated when they heard it, and some people boldly asked: "Excuse me, elder, how long can Zhu Ji live?"

Zheng Xingping smiled: "The foundation is more than 400 years old, and the golden core is 1 to [-] years old. If it is the Yuanying Zhenjun, it will be at least [-] years old, or even up to [-] years old. The elders don’t know either, but they just heard rumors that [-] years of emptiness and [-] years of harmony, and then we dare not talk about spirit immortals, heavenly immortals, golden immortals, and Taoist ancestors! Listen, the higher the skill, the better the life Long! All of you children have good spiritual roots. As long as you practice hard, everyone will have a chance, not to mention living the same life as the sky, it is still possible to live thousands of years!"

Hearing these words, all the disciples were elated, wishing they could rush to the Zongmen's residence earlier and start practicing immediately.

The big boat drifted on the water for five days, with a journey of no less than [-] miles. Under the constant teaching of Elder Zheng Xingping, and the explanations of the leading brothers and enlightenment masters, it finally approached the residence of Jin Danzong "Red Fire Island".
