Chapter 16: Qi Refining Level 3

After Mo Hua entered Tongxianmen, the new year's life in the sect began.

Tongxianmen is a first-class sect, and a first-class sect is the lowest-level sect in the world of cultivation.

The sects in the world of cultivation have strict grades.

When a sect is first established, it must first be graded, and the Dao Court will review and decide.

The requirements for grade determination are very strict. There are strict assessments of the assets of the sect, the mountains it occupies, the depth of the heritage, whether the headmaster has moral deficiencies, the cultivation and number of elders and teachers in the sect, and the number of disciples that can be accepted.

The sect's grade upgrade is even more stringent. There must be several high-level cultivators who have been in charge of preaching for a certain number of years before they can go to the Tianquan Pavilion of the Dao Court to apply for grade upgrade.

Grade upgrade is a top priority for any sect. It takes years of preparation, and it is necessary to smooth relations with the Dao Court, which consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources.

In Tongxianmen, only the old headmaster is a foundation-building cultivator, which is far from meeting the conditions of a second-class sect. Moreover, it is estimated that they will not be eligible for upgrading within a hundred years.

In addition, the property of Tongxianmen only has three mountains, Tongling Peak, Tongxuan Peak and Tongming Peak.

In the outer sect of Tongxianmen, the disciples in the early stage of Qi Refining, that is, the 1st to 3rd level, practice and learn Taoism on Tongling Peak, the disciples in the middle stage of Qi Refining, the 4th to 6th level, are on Tongxuan Peak, and the very few outer sect disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining, the 7th to 9th level, are also on Tongxuan Peak. Because the number of these disciples is too small, they are placed together.

The inner sect and the disciples who are taught by the family, including the head of the sect, the elders and the instructors, are all on Tongming Peak.

It is said that there was originally a Tongxian Peak, which was used for the head and the elders to live and practice. Later, because the sect was poorly managed and insolvent, it was sold with tears.

How can Tongxianmen be called Tongxianmen without Tongxian Peak?

The heads of Tongxianmen in all generations have been determined to redeem Tongxian Peak, but it is a pity that this ambition has not been realized so far.

The disciples of each peak of Tongxianmen are divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D. The quality of the disciples decreases from Class A to Class B, and the sect attaches more importance to them and trains them faster.

Class A generally only recruits the so-called "chosen ones", who have good spiritual roots, high talent and comprehension, and fast cultivation.

Of course, if you have a relationship with the sect's head elders, or are willing to donate a considerable amount of spiritual stones to the sect, you can also enter Class A.

In short, you either have talent, connections, or spiritual stones.

Class B includes disciples with average spiritual roots, but good talent and comprehension, who are more hardworking and have good grades in all aspects.

The disciples of Class C have average spiritual roots, comprehension and grades, and the disciples of Class D generally have worse spiritual roots and grades, and can basically only live a muddled life.

Mo Hua was assigned to Class B, which is a disciple with average spiritual roots, but more hardworking, and good grades in all aspects.

Mo Hua was only at the second level of Qi Refining, so he ate, lived and practiced at Tongling Peak, which was also the peak with the most disciples in Tongxian Sect.

After entering the sect, Mo Hua greeted his familiar fellow disciples and began a year of study and practice.

Even if the lower-level cultivators were poor, they would collect some spiritual stones to let their children enter the sect to practice, at least to lay some foundation for practice, and not be too ignorant of the various knowledge in the world of cultivation, so there were the most disciples in the early stage of Qi Refining in Tongxian Sect.

As for whether they could continue to practice in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it depends on the cultivator's own talent and the family background of the cultivator.

Some families of casual cultivators really couldn't afford the spiritual stones, so they could only let their children drop out of school, help others refine weapons and do odd jobs, or learn to hunt monsters in the mountains, so that they could barely make a living. A tuition of one hundred spiritual stones a year was not a small amount. Otherwise, before the children could practice successfully, the family would starve to death.

And those who could continue to practice in the sect in the late stage of Qi Refining were even fewer.

Several of Mo Hua's familiar fellow disciples disappeared. After asking around, he found out that they all dropped out of school because they were poor and had encountered difficulties, so they could not afford the tuition.

The cultivation of Taoism is extensive and profound. If there is no one to teach you, you will have to take many detours. If you drop out of school in the early stage of Qi Refining, it will be difficult to make any progress in cultivation unless you have a great opportunity.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, feeling very sorry, but his own situation was not very good, so he did not have much time to sigh.

Mo Hua attended classes and practiced at the same time. In his free time, he drew formations and lived a busy and fulfilling life.

A few months later, before he knew it, Mo Hua had broken through to the third level of Qi Refining.

The cultivation of Qi Refining depends more on persistence and accumulation. If you persist in practicing every day, accumulate over time, and spend the right amount of spirit stones, you will naturally be able to break through.

But what casual cultivators lack most is always spirit stones.

The breakthrough of a small realm depends on accumulation, and the breakthrough of a middle realm will have bottlenecks. These bottlenecks require some corresponding natural treasures or elixirs to help break through.

As for the breakthrough of the great realm, such as the transition from Qi Refining to Foundation Building, it depends more on fate. For most low-level casual cultivators, it is a natural barrier that they cannot cross in their lifetime.

Every improvement in realm is of great benefit to cultivators.

Mo Hua, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, feels that his spiritual power is more abundant, and his spiritual consciousness is naturally stronger.

He used to draw the Bright Fire Array with great effort, but now he can do it with ease, and he doesn't even need to rest for a long time after drawing it.

Although it was expected, Mo Hua was still very surprised.

No wonder so many cultivators endure the boring practice and focus on improving their realm. This kind of simple and unpretentious happiness after boredom is the real happiness.

Mo Hua is ten years old and has reached the third level of Qi Refining. This level of cultivation is considered upper-middle in Class B.

When he reaches the third level of Qi Refining, Mo Hua has to choose a method.

After class one day, Instructor Yan asked several disciples at the third level of Qi Refining to stay, including Mo Hua.

Instructor Yan kept Mo Hua and the others, and then he got straight to the point:

"This was originally the job of Instructor Zhou, but he was a little unwell, so I'll do it for you temporarily and talk to you about the practice."

"The most important thing for a cultivator is spiritual power. Whether it's physical cultivation or spiritual cultivation, whether it's drawing arrays and refining pills, or refining tools and making talismans, spiritual power is needed. If your spiritual power is strong, you are superior to others, and if your spiritual power is weak, you are inferior to others. The most fundamental difference between cultivators is the difference in spiritual power."

"A cultivator's spiritual power is determined by the practice, and the practice is determined by the spiritual roots. What kind of spiritual roots determine what kind of practice, and What kind of practice determines the amount of your spiritual power. "

"Spiritual roots are innate, predestined, and cannot be changed. You cannot choose your own spiritual roots, but you can choose what kind of practice to practice."

"Choosing a suitable practice will be of great benefit to future practice. If the spiritual roots are poor, practicing the right practice will also have a relatively long way to practice. If the spiritual roots are superior, but the practice is wrong, it is basically equivalent to cutting off the path to longevity."

"So no matter whether the spiritual roots are good or bad, the practice must be handled with extreme caution..."

"Practice..." Mo Hua muttered in his heart.

Mo Hua has a small five-element attribute spiritual root of the lower middle grade. Among his peers in Tongxian City, he is considered to have a lower-middle spiritual root qualification.

I don't know what kind of practice he can learn with his spiritual roots.
