Chapter 225 Dao Heart
After watching the fireworks, Aunt Xue thanked Mo Hua, then said goodbye to Mo Shan and his wife, and took Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi back.
Mo Shan had an appointment with several brothers from the demon hunting team to drink together.
Liu Ruhua went to see the lanterns with Aunt Jiang, and tried a few newly opened snack shops.
The fireworks were still going on in the sky, so Mo Hua had to go shopping alone.
While walking, Mo Hua's consciousness suddenly felt something, and when he looked up, he found that Elder Yu was also sitting on the roof alone, drinking alone.
Mo Hua performed the Water Step, vertically attached to the wall, and walked to the roof step by step.
Elder Yu saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up, and patted the tiles beside him, "Come, sit here, and have a drink together."
Mo Hua sat down next to Elder Yu, took out fruit wine from the storage bag, and clinked glasses with Elder Yu.
Elder Yu's wine was strong liquor, full of spicy taste.
Mo Hua's wine is sweet, and you can drink as much as you want.
The fruit wine went down his throat, sweet and aftertasteful. Mo Hua couldn't help shaking his head, turned his head and looked at Elder Yu, and couldn't help asking:
"Elder, are you alone?"
"What's wrong with being alone?"
"Looks a little lonely..." Mo Hua sympathized.
Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, sighed, looked into the distance and said: "I'm happy, so I came up alone to drink some wine."
Mo Hua nodded, as long as he was happy, as long as it wasn't sad.
Mo Hua thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Elder, is it difficult to become a foundation-building cultivator?"
"Why, do you want to build a foundation?" Elder Yu was a little surprised.
"It's still early, let me ask first." Mo Hua smiled shyly.
He is now at the sixth level of Qi Refining, not yet at the late stage of Qi Refining, and it is indeed a while before he can build a foundation.
"Building a foundation is not difficult, but it is not easy either."
"Elder, please speak frankly."
Elder Yu choked for a moment, and then stopped keeping the secret and said directly:
"There are actually only two difficulties in building a foundation. One is the spiritual root, and the other is the spiritual stone..."
"There is no need to say much about the spiritual root. If the spiritual root is good and the spiritual power is deep, it will be easier to break through. There is no need to say spiritual stones. Without spiritual stones, it will be a problem to practice, let alone build a foundation."
"Don't we still have spiritual objects?" Mo Hua asked.
"Most spiritual objects still need to be bought with spiritual stones. At least the spiritual objects needed by ordinary cultivators like us can be bought with spiritual stones." Elder Yu said.
Mo Hua nodded, "So in the final analysis, it's still a matter of spirit stones."
Elder Yu nodded and said, "That's right."
"Then if the spirit roots are not bad and there is no shortage of spirit stones, can you definitely build a foundation?"
"Things in this world are hard to say for sure. There will always be accidents, but as long as there is no shortage of spirit stones, there is a high probability that the foundation will be fine."
Elder Yu took a sip of wine and continued, "Prepare spirit stones and gather spiritual objects. If you fail once, try again. There will always be a success. And as long as you succeed once, you will be a foundation-building cultivator."
Mo Hua frowned, "It sounds like it's not difficult..."
"Practicing Taoism starts from refining Qi. Although building a foundation is one level higher, it is only a little higher than It is just a step of refining gas. Starting from Jindan, it is difficult to step by step. It is very harsh on spirit root, talent, understanding, and inheritance. "Elder Yu sighed," Various of people, different cultivation, and buying spiritual materials at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Thirty years. This is just a spiritual stone that breaks through. Mo Hua also sighed.
Elder Yu said bitterly: "The main reason why casual cultivators cannot build a foundation is actually poverty."
"There are many thresholds for cultivation, but poverty is the most desperate threshold."
"If your spiritual roots are not good, you will know that this road is blocked at the beginning, but poverty will first let you see hope, and then let you experience despair. Spirit stones are always a drop in the bucket, and the road is always out of reach."
Elder Yu's expression was both melancholy and helpless.
"Are all casual cultivators in the world like this?" Mo Hua asked.
"Probably so." Elder Yu sighed, "In this cultivation world, there are the most cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and they are also the most miserable. The vast Nine Provinces are boundless. In the future, when you step out of the Black Mountain Realm and take a look, you will know that there are many immortal cities that are poorer than Tongxian City, and there are countless cultivators who are more miserable than us demon hunters."
Mo Hua looked depressed and kept silent.
Elder Yu then realized that he had said too much, and that he shouldn't have said these words to a child like him.
Elder Yu patted Mo Hua's shoulder and said, "We can't control other people's affairs, but at least the independent cultivators in Tongxian City will get better and better in the future, all thanks to you."
Mo Hua was a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything, I just drew some formations."
"Formations are the most important." Elder Yu said solemnly, "Without formation masters drawing formations, even if there is another independent cultivator, even if there are three or four foundation-building cultivators, it will be useless. Everyone will still be poor and miserable."
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.
He knew that formation masters had a relatively high status, formations were difficult to learn, and formations were needed in all aspects of the cultivation world, but they were not more important than three or four foundation-building cultivators as Elder Yu said.
Elder Yu saw Mo Hua's doubts and patiently told her:
"Qi refining is the bottom level, and the next step is foundation building. Once you become a foundation building cultivator, you are qualified to seek the great way and change your fate."
"I became a foundation building cultivator and changed my fate, but I can't change the fate of other independent cultivators. I can deal with the Qian family and try to prevent independent cultivators from being oppressed, but I can't actually help them."
"They are still poor, still suffering, still struggling to make ends meet, and can only refine qi for their entire lives. I have only cultivation skills, even if I steal Go to grab, and you ca n’t get many spiritual stones. "But the formation is different!" Elder Yu looked at the ink painting. Ink painting touched in his heart for a while, and he nodded, "Elderly, I understand." Elder Yu nodded with relief and no longer words, but quietly looked at the light of Tongxian City. Accompanying, the fireworks in the sky are gorgeous, and the city is row, and the crowds of people are flowing. The lights and bright fireworks of thousands of houses also caught Mo Hua's eyes.
The little Mo Hua gradually strengthened his heart:
In this life, he will work hard to practice, comprehend the formation, and use the formation that penetrates the heavens and the earth to seek immortality and change his fate against the will of heaven.
Change his own fate, and also change the fate of all the low-level cultivators in the world.
By then, not only Tongxian City, but all the casual cultivators in the world will no longer just refine Qi for their whole lives!
