Chapter 63: Moving to the Wind Sword Sect
Ninth Uncle laughed and said: “Saying it is a little embarrassing, but after cultivating over half a lifetime, I only just recently achieved spirit refining fourth level, barely entering the spirit refining middle stage.”
Hearing this, Elder Xu on the side laughed and said: “You should be satisfied. This old man has already been stuck at spirit refining third level for many years, and hasn’t been able to cross over the threshold into the spirit refining middle stage. I’m guessing that in this lifetime, it’ll just be like this.”
Talking up to here, the two both had some regrets. A martial artist cultivated the quickest when they were young. As their age became older and older, trying to break through also became more difficult. At Ninth Uncle and Elder Xu’s age, other than some fortuitous circumstance, there wasn’t much hope in trying to continue to successfully take another step forward.
At this time, Lin Xin Yi on the side interrupted and asked: “Ninth Uncle, you just now that the spirit word of spirit refining has two meaning. Yuan spirit force is one. Then what’s the other one?”
“Let this old man talk about that.” Elder Xu slightly smiled,stroking his beard as he said: “After body refining, during spirit refining, this spirit also points to mind!”
“As the saying goes, martial path martial path. In fact this martial path includes two kinds. One is cultivating, and the other is enlightenment! Cultivating is for the body, enlightenment is for the mind. Thus for spirit refining realm, other than refining yuan spirit force, it is more important to exercise your mental force.”
“However, mental force is a very mysterious thing. Unlike yuan spirit force which we can feel, refine it, and use, mental force, although everyone has it, not many know how to cultivate it, and can only use some means of aide to exercise it, such as enchanting or alchemy. In these processes, the mental strength can obtain a certain amount of improvement.”
“So, for most martial artists, although spirit refining has two layers of meanings, for the majority of martial artists, knowing one layer is enough, which is cultivating yuan spirit force.”
Finished listening to Elder Xu’s words, Lu Xuan nodded thoughtfully. Simply speaking, entering the spirit refining realm required cultivating yuan spirit force to become his life’s yuan force, and also needed to begin to temper his mental force.
However, towards Elder Xu’s words about only requiring to take care of just cultivating yuan spirit force, Lu Xuan didn’t agree. He believed that since spirit refining had two types of meanings, then it must be that reasons for those meanings. If he could cultivate both sides, then there would definitely be different results. It was just that right now he hadn’t even reached the spirit refining realm. It was too far away to talk about these things. Naturally he wouldn’t retort on anything.
Hearing Ninth Uncle and Elder Xu’s words, Xia Chen Xi and Lin Xin Yi also benefited. At least they knew about the path ahead.
As they talked, Lu Yu and Lu Qiong had already gathered up their luggage. The Lu family’s servants were all originally from Qing Mountain Village. Lu Yu gave them some money and then dismissed them.
After waiting another while, Yao Lei brought over his parents. Yao Lei looked exactly the same as his father, with the same small round face, however, he was still a bit skinnier than his father.
Once Father Yao arrived, he hurriedly put on a smiling face and greeted Ninth Uncle, Xia Chen Xi, Lin Xin Yi, and the others. Obviously, he already knew about Xia Chen Xi and the others identities from Yao Lei. To him, prior to this, he would never have even thought about meeting such an important person. With the current hard to get opportunity to meet such important people, naturally he would try to improve relations.
The Yao family also didn’t bring too much, just their family’s liquidated assets. As long as they had money, Lin City would have everything else.
