Chapter 3 Preparation
The ancestor's instructions were still in his ears, but Zhao Yu had already arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain.
The dirty air, the roar of cars, and the noisy crowds are all so familiar and yet strange.
Zhao Yu wore a Taoist robe and walked slowly facing the eyes of countless people.
In the beginning, he was an outsider and was incompatible with this world. After a while, the mundane and misty aspects of his body were entangled with each other, showing contradictory temperaments. By the time he walked into the station, he was already covered in red dust and was no different from the people around him.
To become an immortal, you must first be a human being. Zhao Yu has a deep understanding of his ancestor’s advice.
This real world gave him an extremely real and full feeling.
At this moment, in the illusion, the false mentality of overlooking everything gradually peeled off, and he existed as a real person.
Walking into the bus station, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that buying a ticket requires money. But he was penniless.
Zhao Yu patted his forehead, smiled bitterly, turned around and left again.
I originally thought that as a mortal, everything must be done from a mortal perspective. Traveling requires taking a car, eating, drinking, and having sex, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is not necessary. Just do whatever you want, at least you don’t have to take a car to travel.
As a monk who has created a perfect Taoist foundation, Zhao Yu is still fundamentally different from ordinary people.
At least he can now break down a hundred-meter-high hill with one punch, but others can't.
This kind of power, in the illusion, is at most comparable to that of a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining. If powerful magic weapons are used, the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining will be much more powerful. But in this real world, it is appalling.
Daoji is the first step to embark on the path of immortality in the real world.
In the Chaos Bead, Zhao Yu knew from some information left by his master, Ancestor Hun Kong, that ordinary monks who forged Taoist foundations were far from as powerful as him. This is the difference between perfect foundation and ordinary foundation.
However, compared to the monks in the realm of energy refining in the illusion, Zhao Yu cannot use spells yet, and can only use physical strength.
Casting the foundation is only the first step. Just like the illusion, he needs to condense his magic power before he can use the magic.
But at this stage, Zhao Yu has not yet had time to sort out and extract the skills he learned in the illusion. He must create his own skills before he can condense his magic power and then use spells.
He needs some time.
After leaving the station, Zhao Yu was leisurely and leisurely, not paying attention to any eyes, and gradually moved away along the road of the town.
Although he has to fulfill his humanity with a mortal mentality, after all, he has experienced a lot in the fantasy world and is still very different from ordinary people. At least he can easily dismiss external things without being affected.
Of course, he also gradually regains the things that belong to mortals.
At least, when he meets a beautiful woman, he will take another look at her, unlike in the fantasy world, where the beauty is beautiful but the bones are white.
Leaving the town, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road and no pedestrians. Zhao Yu's steps became faster. Taking one step forward, he instinctively shrunk to an inch, and disappeared under his feet for a hundred or ten meters. Then he left the road and walked through the wilderness.
After all, he no longer has that kind of ability that people completely ignore. It is an ability that can only be possessed after cultivating the soul and becoming in harmony with the nature of heaven and earth.
If someone were careful enough, they would be able to spot Zhao Yu's anomaly and see him shrinking to an inch.
This is appalling.
This small town is located on the southwest border of China, thousands of miles away from the place where Ancestor Hun Kong first met Zhao Yu and put him into a fantasy world. That was the north and this is the south.
However, Zhao Yu left this town not to return to his original place of work. In this real world, he has no worries. I have no relatives and few real friends. What's more, he will travel through time and space soon, and it doesn't matter whether he sees those friends or not.
He just planned to go to Jinguan City and settle temporarily around this big city.
Big cities have the advantages of big cities. At least until you develop certain magical powers, living next to a big city makes it easier to access resources.
For Zhao Yu, the first thing to do now is to apply for a new identity document.
In just two hours, Zhao Yu traveled thousands of miles from the border to Jinguan City.
He went directly to the Public Security Bureau and asked for an ID card.
Fortunately, there are no restrictions on applying for an ID card now, and you can apply for it in another place. As for the handling fee, it’s simple. On the way to Jinguancheng, Zhao Yu took the time to collect some medicinal materials in the mountains and sold them in a drugstore for thousands of dollars.
After getting the ID card, Zhao Yu found an Internet cafe, came out a few minutes later, and took a taxi to the Roman Holiday Plaza.
One day later, Zhao Yu bought a house behind Qingcheng Mountain and settled there.
As for the money to buy a house, of course it came from the Roman Holiday Plaza, just gambling on stones.
Although Zhao Yu doesn't have magic power yet, he has created a Taoist foundation, and his strength is perfect, and his senses are extremely sharp. Although you can't see through the stone skin, you can feel everything.
The capital of several thousand yuan turned into tens of millions after opening a few stores.
Although money is not important to Zhao Yu at all. But now that he is a mortal, how can he lose money? Anjia can’t ask for money?
Side activities like stone gambling are the easiest and fastest way to make money. In addition, unless it was robbing a bank, Zhao Yu would not do such a thing. Fall share.
Qingcheng Mountain is just outside Jinguan City. The environment here is good and it has always been said that it is the place where the immortal family practices. Of course, legends are legends. Where in the universe is there a dojo of the immortal family? But for Zhao Yu, it is a good choice.
He found an agent and bought a single-family house on the hillside behind the mountain.
The house is not bad, a small building with three entrances and three exits. This is where the owner's late father used to live. The owner of the house had a house in Jinguan City due to work reasons, but this place was vacant, so he put it up for sale.
But because the terrain was too high, it was halfway up the mountain. It sat there for more than half a year without anyone interested, so it was bought by Zhao Yu.
Such a quiet environment is exactly what Zhao Yu needs.
The path to perfect humanity may not be in this time and space. Since traveling through time and space is a section of real time and space, one can still achieve humanity in any time and space.
On the contrary, modern time and space are not very convenient because of the development of science and technology, which makes people everywhere. As a monk, Zhao Yu is too abnormal after all, and he will be in trouble if he is discovered. And if you travel through ancient time and space, there will definitely be much less trouble.
At least there were no missiles or nuclear eggs in ancient times.
In the next few days, Zhao Yu first spent a day going to a bookstore in Dujiangyan and bought all kinds of books, whether it was a collection of classics or history, or a science and technology magazine.
The essence of the real world is hidden in the depths, but its surface must be hidden in books.
Human beings have known the world for thousands of years, and all the principles are contained in classics. By reading these classics, finding the mysteries in them, and combining the techniques from the illusory world, Zhao Yu can truly create techniques that are suitable for the real world.
Then I spent another two days comprehending the mystery of the Chaos Bead, until I could physically enter the small world of the Chaos Bead and understand how to use the Chaos Bead to travel through time and space.
One of the secrets of the Chaos Bead is that it contains a real small world that can breed Yuan Qi. This small world is not big, with a radius of only seven or eight miles, and is surrounded by chaos and void. It was bare, except for a Yuanqi pool in the middle. It is from this pool that Yuan Qi is born.
The second is the ability to travel through time and space. However, due to limitations of cultivation, at this stage, using Chaos Orbs to travel through time and space is random. Only when Zhao Yu's cultivation reaches a certain level can he choose any time point he wants to go to.
Zhao Yu built a wooden house by Yuan Qi Pond in the small world and moved all the books in. Then I was immersed in the sea of books.
Except for the necessary eating, drinking and diarrhea, Zhao Yu forgot all about food and sleep.
With his current state of building the Dao Foundation, he could not eat for a month. It is not possible to completely achieve inedia.
After eating thirteen times, Zhao Yu began to create exercises.
He planned to start from a mortal and create a few techniques that could create Tao foundations to practice.
It's not difficult. In view of the many truths in real-world books, after thirteen months of study, with his now sharp ears and eyesight, he understands the mysteries of most books. Comparing it with the exercises in the illusory world, sparks of wisdom flashed frequently.
To build the Dao foundation, one starts from a mortal. The first two stages, the external strengthening of divine power and the internal strengthening of divine bravery, that is, the tempering of bones, skin, and flesh, the refining of organs, marrow, and blood exchange, are not much different from the cultivation process in the fantasy world of Tianyan Mirror. There are only subtle areas that need some corrections.
But it is these subtleties that are the key to distinguishing illusion from reality. If no changes are made and real people are allowed to practice, there will definitely be no results.
Zhao Yu divided the creation of the Taoist foundation into three steps. The first step is to strengthen the external power, and the second step is to develop the internal bravery. When the inside and outside are transparent, the qi and blood are mixed, and the energy is refined, the essence will be born. Jingyuan is the origin of life, condensed from Qi and blood.
When you achieve Jing Yuan, you enter the stage of accumulating energy and seeing the spirit, which is the last stage and the most important stage of building the Tao foundation.
The essence is refined, the qi and blood are further strengthened, and the physical body is further perfected. When the essence is so strong that it is so full that it feels like it comes out of the body, it is necessary to transport the essence and open acupuncture points.
This step is also available in the Tianyanjing Fantasy World. But it is too easy to open acupuncture points in the fantasy world, and it is easy to open a thirty-fifty-year-old acupoint. Of course, if Zhao Yu opens up a single acupuncture point in the fantasy world, it is another matter.
However, in the real world, there is no one-dimensional acupuncture point. Zhao Yu created a perfect Dao foundation and opened up 365 acupoints in his body.
In other words, in the real world, the number of acupoints is only Zhou Tian 365.
Every time one is opened, it is extremely difficult. It was ten times more difficult than when Zhao Yu was refining the false and making it real in the illusory holy world of Tian Yanjing's illusory world to open up acupoints. The requirements for Jingyuan are outrageously high. For those who are not talented enough, no matter how perfect their Jingyuan is, they will not be able to open an acupoint. Once they are forced to open an acupoint, their Jingyuan will be exhausted and they will die.
Cultivation is based on one's innate nature and is supplemented by one's talent. Without talent, you can't even touch the threshold of building a foundation.
A person with deep roots must have talent. But people with talent may not necessarily have the talent. Even if there are one million, one hundred million, one hundred million body refining geniuses, there may not be one person with true spiritual roots. Ancestor Hunkong has been traveling in this universe for several years and has seen billions and billions of creatures, but only three or five of them have roots. This is evident.
