Chapter 206: Conversation between Master and Disciple (Part )

Jiuliancheng, inner city.

In a quiet courtyard, there is a pavilion in the yard, and next to the pavilion is a shallow fish pond. The water in the pond is clear, and the fish seem to be floating in the air. There are also green plants and flowers, which is truly a scene full of spring.

At this moment, there were three people chatting in the pavilion, one old and two young.

"Master, I have done what you asked. I have accepted fifty children under the age of ten from the outer city. What do you want?" Mu Qingcheng looked at the master in front of her, whose aura was deep and solemn, and bowed slightly.

"Of course we need to train some outer Taoist soldiers again. Although there is no hope for them to reach the innate level, as long as they have enough resources, they can reach the third level of acquired level. Even if it costs a lot of money, once they are trained, and then taught the protective magic circle of our Xuanzhen Sect, they can be regarded as the combat power of the innate level." Miao Lingzi laughed and his breath returned to normal.

Fang Ming asked, "Outer sect soldiers?"

Miao Lingzi patted Fang Ming's head and said, "You joined late, so you naturally don't know. My Xuanzhen Sect is also a major sect. There are two masters of supernatural powers in the sect. One is my master, and the other is her master, my senior brother. In addition, there are ten innate masters, including me. We also have the Nine Glory Mysterious Sword Formation, the Eight Desolate True Blade Formation, and two major protective formations. As long as the outer sect soldiers of the eighth and ninth levels of the acquired realm join forces, they can rival the innate strength."

"As for the so-called outer sect warriors, they are selected from childhood and trained in specialized martial arts techniques. They sacrifice their lifespan in exchange for advancement in martial arts. Although they have no hope of achieving innate martial arts, they can achieve rapid success. However, they often have some flaws and are not as well-rounded as ordinary acquired martial artists. Take your senior sister as an example. She has acquired third-level combat power, but if she really fought against outer sect warriors, she could easily defeat three or five of them!"

"Then why can it be considered as the innate level one combat power?" Fang Ming asked again.

Miao Lingzi explained with a smile, "This naturally depends on the intricacies of the formation. Although these outer sect Taoist soldiers may not be strong individually, once they form a formation, it's a different story. Each sect has its own battle formation, but in the end, it's all about gathering everyone's strength. Let's take your senior sister as an example. If she were to face eight third-level post-natal Taoist soldiers alone, she could easily displace several of them if she gave it her all."

Mu Qingcheng blushed and said, "Four, maybe five would be a stretch, but I'd probably die of exhaustion."

Miao Lingzi laughed and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. This is a situation where the Dao soldiers are fighting on their own. If they form a battle formation, haha, your senior sister won't be able to kill any of them. Within thirty rounds, your life will be lost!"

Fang Ming was very surprised and said, "Is the battle formation so powerful?"

"Of course. Battle formations are a very profound subject. Legend has it that it has been around since ancient times. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you." Miao Lingzi snorted.

Mu Qingcheng jokingly said, "Uncle Master, you don't understand it yourself, right? Uncle Master, you are famous for not liking to read. You are considered half illiterate."

Fang Ming smiled when he heard the voice.

"A martial artist, reading? Can a martial artist be called illiterate? Even your master doesn't dare to call me illiterate!" Miao Lingzi puffed his beard and glared, but when he said this, his face suddenly darkened.

Mu Qingcheng knew that she had touched upon something sad, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Master, after I healed Xiao Yu'er last time, my Qi seemed to have changed a bit, and it's becoming more and more obvious now."

Miao Lingzi then straightened his face and said, "Stretch out your hand so I can see it."

Mu Qingcheng did as she was told, and the two of them put their palms together. Fang Ming, who was watching from the side, looked very nervous.

After a long time, Miao Lingzi frowned and thought for a while without saying a word.

This made Fang Ming very anxious. He couldn't help asking, "Master, what happened to Senior Sister?"

Miao Lingzi sighed and said, "It actually reminds me of a rumor." Before Mu Qingcheng could say anything, Fang Ming rushed in and asked, "What rumor?"

Miao Lingzi stroked his beard and frowned, revealing a thoughtful expression. He said slowly, "Master, I am a little thirsty. I can't remember anything at the moment."

Fang Ming couldn't help rolling his eyes, but his body was very honest. He went to the room very obediently to bring back the teapot and teacups, and poured a cup for Miao Lingzi. Seeing him nod with satisfaction, he asked.

"Master, you're not thirsty anymore, are you? You remember now, right?"

Miao Lingzi nodded slightly and said, "It's not a bad thing. Since you are here today, let's talk it over!"

"The distinction between innate and acquired is a watershed, and I'm sure you all know that. But what is the difference between an innate master and an ordinary acquired warrior? In a word, it comes down to spirit!"

"Masters of the innate realm have their bodies cleansed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so their bodies are stronger than those of acquired warriors who have practiced hard skills. This is the essence, which transforms into the innate qi. Its nature is completely different from the true qi. This is the spirit, which is strong and penetrating, and has all kinds of mysteries that cannot be expressed in words. This is the spirit!"

"At the same time, these three are also the three hurdles encountered in breaking through the Xiantian realm. They require a full body of Qi and blood, deep internal strength, and an unwavering determination. Generally speaking, when breaking through the Xiantian bottleneck, one must break through all three barriers at the same time, and then reach the realm of the three treasures being united. However, this is extremely risky and difficult. The slightest mistake will lead to failure, and the consequence of failure is damage to both Qi and blood, and damage to the mind. For a post-natal warrior, if there is no superior elixir, it will take several years to recuperate. It is unknown how long it will take to adjust to peak condition and break through the barriers. During this period, combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

"It turns out that there are so many details to follow when going from acquired to innate." Fang Ming nodded, looking educated.

Miao Lingzi tapped his forehead with her finger and said, "You are so lucky, kid. You met me. Even if ordinary forces knew about these things, they would never publicize them so openly. Instead, they would hide them and pass them down from generation to generation. Now I am telling you everything!"

Fang Ming chuckled and said, "Of course, Master is the best. He doesn't hide anything!"

Miao Lingzi's tone immediately turned serious, and he suppressed his smile as he said, "The following are things that even many masters of supernatural powers may not know. You all should listen carefully!"

"Since there are three levels of innateness, and it's too difficult to overcome them all at once, some seniors have racked their brains to come up with a solution. Can you guess what it is?"

Fang Ming's eyes rolled around, and he said without hesitation: "Since three levels are difficult to pass, is it possible to pass them one by one?"

"You're quite clever, not bad!" Miao Lingzi nodded and said, "This has given rise to a realm above the peak of the acquired realm, a half-step to the innate realm!"

"Half a step? Innate?" Mu Qingcheng and Fang Ming said in unison.

"There's still half of the innate ability?" Fang Ming was surprised.

"Of course." Miao Lingzi stood up, facing the pool, and said leisurely while watching the fish swimming in the water.

"So there are three paths. First, you need to practice with your physical body to break through the barrier, and then you will have an innate body. Then, you need to practice with your internal energy to break through the barrier, and then you will have innate qi. And the most difficult one is to practice with your spirit to break through the barrier, and then you will have divine consciousness!"
