Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 39: Two Years
Three days!
Si Mu pondered for a while, it doesn't look like that. In fact, after condensing the twelve essences, one needs to purify the twelve essences to deepen their foundation. But looking at Jia Le's full essence, it is obvious that it has already been purified. In just three days, he has reached such a level. This is too genius.
Simu didn't think much about it. After all, he was aware of the genius of his apprentice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited the thief over.
"Jia Le, after condensing the twelve essences, it is not the case that the sooner you break through the Qi Transformation Stage, the better. I was also confused by the monk Yi Xiu during this period of time and ignored your progress in cultivation. After condensing the twelve essences, in order to go further in the future, cultivators like me generally need to continue to purify our essences and deepen our foundation.
As for breaking through the Qi Transformation Realm, it is actually a natural thing. For cultivators, the threshold between the Essence Refining Realm and the Qi Transformation Realm, although not as high as the threshold from the Qi Transformation Realm to the Qi Refining Realm, it is also of a certain difficulty. This is when the difference in aptitude is reflected.
For a genius, it may only take a month to achieve a breakthrough, but for those with average aptitude, it may take one or two years. And for those with dull aptitude, it is even more difficult. It is not surprising that they cannot achieve a breakthrough for more than ten years, or even their entire lives. It took my teacher a year to achieve a breakthrough.
Even Senior Brother Lin was stuck for two months, and the eldest senior brother was stuck for nearly two months. However, with your aptitude, if you purify your essence, you will be able to break through in a month. Don't worry. You have been practicing for less than half a year at most. It is fast enough to break through to the peak of the Essence Refining Realm in half a year.
More haste, less speed. Although the Refining Essence Realm is only the starting stage for a cultivator, it is also the stage for laying the foundation. At this time, we should focus on building a solid foundation and not rush things. "
Simu persuaded him patiently, and Jiale seemed to understand where the problem lay.
Qualifications! Yes, qualifications.
Simu and Ikkyu saw that Jiale had broken through to the peak of the Essence Refining Realm in a short period of time and condensed twelve essences, so they thought that Jiale was a rare genius. However, others did not know, but Jiale himself knew that the reason why he was able to practice so quickly and comprehend the skills so quickly was all because of the unknown space.
Drawing talismans and practicing Baguazhang are fast because the unknown space can improve one's understanding and allow for infinite reflection.
The speed of improving cultivation was due to the fact that not only was the spiritual energy in the unknown space ten times that of the outside world, it was also able to kill demons and monsters and even cultivators, condense energy beads, and boost cultivation. However, the unknown space increased the speed of cultivation and improved comprehension, but it did not help Jiale in terms of qualifications.
Jiale has not yet discovered a way to improve his qualifications in the unknown space.
As for Jia Le's original qualifications, thinking about the Jia Le in the movie, although he is better than Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, he is probably limited in his qualifications. At most, he can reach the level that Simu said. In other words, if he wants to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm naturally, it may take one or two years?
Maybe even longer?
It has to be said that Jiale was really a little confused at this moment. Ever since he became his apprentice, Jiale's practice has always been smooth sailing. In less than half a year, he has reached the peak of the Essence Refining Realm and is about to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
His Baguazhang had also reached the level of 3824 palms, and was only one step away from perfection. Drawing talismans and casting spells were no problem at all. However, he was reduced to his original form overnight. Talent was really a hurdle that could not be avoided.
However, what else can we do? Fortunately, his aptitude can only be considered average. If he were really dull, we would be doomed.
It takes half a year to practice to reach the peak of the Essence Refining Realm, and two years to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm, which adds up to two and a half years. With this calculation, it is actually faster than other people's breakthroughs, which is not unacceptable.
Forget it, just like Simu said, just think of it as laying the foundation and deepening your foundation.
In the following days, Simu felt relieved when he saw that Jiale was still practicing at the same pace as before, without being lazy or practicing frantically in order to speed up.
Simu was really afraid that Jiale would be too eager to break through the Qi Transformation Realm and waste his own talent. After all, no matter how good the talent is, if it is not supported by the foundation, it is like a castle in the air. Maybe there are no big problems in the early stage, but when the realm of cultivation reaches the later stage, the gap will be revealed. Simu does not want Jiale to regret it then.
Fortunately, his disciples still made him feel at ease as usual.
There were no blind monsters or ghosts coming to chase after people on this corpse-carrying trip. In fact, when monsters or ghosts provoke people, they will also select them. If it is between ordinary people and Taoist priests, they will definitely choose the former without hesitation. If it is between Jiale and Simu, they will definitely choose Jiale without hesitation. After all, an experienced Taoist priest like Simu is actually very scary in their eyes, and monsters or ghosts are not afraid of death.
A month later, when Jiale and Simu returned to the yard, Ikkyu had already built a similar small yard next to theirs, and it looked quite exquisite, and seemed to be better than Simu's small yard .
But Simu was so annoyed that he wanted to tear down the new yard that Ikkyu had built.
"Hey, Taoist brother, you guys are back. I made some vegetarian food. Do you want to eat with me?"
Ikkyu was quite enthusiastic, but unfortunately Simu became annoyed when he saw him. With a cold snort, he took Jiale back to the courtyard.
In the next few days, Ikkyu came over from time to time, with only one reason, that is, he wanted to give a lecture and asked Jiale if he wanted to listen with him.
This made Simu have to pick up his big sword and drive it away personally every time.
Jiale looked at Simu and Ikkyu, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't know why the two of them didn't get along with him in the movie, but this time, the two of them must be getting along with him.
Less than ten days after returning, Simu took Jiale away again. There was nothing they could do. Ikkyu was too annoying, and the morning and evening prayers made Simu unable to sleep well. The two of them basically had a small quarrel every half a day and a big fight every day.
It made Jiale feel like he was watching a movie, and it was even worse than that.
Just like this, a year and a half had passed in the blink of an eye, and it had been two years since Jiale traveled through time.
Jiale still hadn't broken through to the Qi Transformation Stage, but Simu didn't think there was anything wrong. He just thought that Jiale had listened to his words, knew the importance of foundation, and was spending time polishing it. In Simu's opinion, this was a good thing. After all, Jiale's cultivation level was indeed improving a bit too fast, so it was also a good thing to slow down and spend time polishing his foundation.
But a year and a half is enough time, any longer would be a waste. He has carefully observed Jia Le's practice and found that he already has twelve pure and thick essences with a solid foundation. It would be useless to polish him further.
"Jia Le, you can't suppress yourself anymore, it's time to break through."
