Chapter 213 Cultivation and Imperial Examination

Li Chunfeng is now very different from when he came down from Lingyun Mountain. After his soul awakening, his entry can be said to be a thousand miles a day. Although he never released the soul again, that only one has also brought him many valuable experiences. In addition, when he was free on the way to the capital, he had carefully asked Su Banyue about the soul. This was undoubtedly of great help to his cultivation.

In his understanding, the so-called soul is actually another self in the human body. It can also be said to be another soul. But compared with the soul that people recognize most of the time, that soul is more pure. Because it has always been hidden deep in people's hearts, it is a soul that has never been polluted by any external information. As many legends say, when a person is a baby, his eyes are brightest, his mind is the purest and toughest. As he grows older, he receives various external information. Gradually, he loses the original truth.

As for the practice, almost everyone knows that the method of practicing without distractions and no desires is in line with the origin of heaven and earth. But no matter when you start practicing, as long as you are in this secular world, you will inevitably be subject to various pollutions. In the end, you will often get half the result with twice the effort.

This also explains from another aspect why the power of the soul is so powerful. Because during the process of human cultivation, the two souls are carried out simultaneously. However, since the soul practices in an environment without any disturbance, it will invisibly achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, this will also cause a consequence. That is, the soul cannot distinguish between good and evil at all. It has never been in contact with it, how can it know what good or evil? So once the soul controls its body, it will be like a baby with a huge weapon of destructiveness, and no one can predict what it will do. This is why Qi Tian refused to allow Li Chunfeng to summon the soul at will.

Of course, not everyone is the same. Its strength depends entirely on everyone's subconscious talent. Therefore, when Li Chunfeng learned about these things from Su Banyue, he was very excited. Because he once learned from Jiu Yun how terrifying he was after summoning the soul. It seems that they are right, his talent is indeed good. But he still dared not summon it easily. What a terrible power it was, he knew. According to Su Banyue, at this moment, he should look for land to calm down and try his best to find a way to integrate the soul and the soul. Once the consciousness of the god and the power of the soul can complement each other, he finally entered the realm of a first-class master.

Therefore, he did not summon the soul at this moment. Instead, he raised his energy by relying solely on the power of his god.

"Fourteen...is not right. It's almost fifteen." Tong Yan looked quietly from the side and said, "It's not bad."

"It's not over yet." Li Chunfeng smiled and then relaxed his spirit. He relied on his body's instinct to operate his breath. This was something he had tried. Now, when he could not summon the soul, he could raise the energy to the fifteenth level at most. But when he relaxed his mind a little, his body would instinctively remember the situation when he was controlled by the soul. The true energy naturally operated according to the situation at that time. In this way, his strength would rise to a higher level.

"Um..." Tongyan's face looked a little surprised and said in disbelief: "You can actually reach the sixteenth level. You are indeed not simple."

"Simply." Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "How is this? Can you participate in that competition with such strength?"

"Simply." Tongyan learned from Li Chunfeng's appearance and smiled: "At least it's not that easy to die."

This sentence was very depressing. Li Chunfeng couldn't hold it in one breath and sat down and said, "Are you here to see my strength or to attack me?"

"I just don't want you to fail because of your arrogance." Tong Yan spread his hands and said, "But to be honest, it really makes me admire you when you can reach this level. After all, Brother Chen said, you were only at level 12 a few months ago."

"He said everything to you." Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "I was a little surprised at my progress. I'm a little scared now if I'm too fast."

"Although it's not slow." Tongyan shook her head and said, "but it's not fast."

"Isn't this a good time?" Li Chunfeng said in surprise. You know, it's only been about a year since he started to work in cultivation, and now he is close to his peak. How can he not be quick?

As if seeing through what he was thinking, Tongyan smiled and said, "You may not understand what I said."

"I don't understand very well." Li Chunfeng did not hide his expression at all and said, "According to the fact that normal people have started practicing since childhood, they have achieved their current achievements after many years. You may not be very clear about me." Li Chunfeng said this and thought for a while and said, "When I was in the mountains since I was a child, my master did not teach me how to practice, but was reading various classics. It was not until recent years that I began to come into contact with the way of Qi training. The real beginning was only more than a year."

These words were said half-truely. Li Chunfeng was not afraid that she would not believe her childish face, because these were things that could not be proved. If she didn't believe it, then there was only one possibility - Su Chen's family may emphasize sex over friend.

"So I said you are not fast enough." Tongyan smiled at him, walked over and sat opposite him and said, "Zhen Tian Zhenren is such a strange person. If you don't say anything else, just his method of teaching disciples is really rare in ancient and modern times. Maybe he hasn't and there is no need to tell you. In the eyes of cultivators, real cultivation starts with understanding the soul."

"What?" Li Chunfeng said with an incredible look on his face: "Didn't that start from the thirteenth level? What was the one before?"

"How to say it?" Tong Yan tilted her head and thought for a while: "It can be said to be a test. If you pass this test, that is, you can reach the thirteenth level and be considered to be qualified to practice. The previous ones were just preparations for this moment."

"That's also part of the cultivation." Li Chunfeng said a little dissatisfied: "If a person's talent is limited, it will take a long time for him to practice to the thirteenth level, right? With such talent, he will start to practice the soul again. I don't know how many years it takes to reach the state of Great Perfection."

"You still don't understand what I mean." Tong Yan shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. For example, the process of cultivation is like an imperial examination. The three stages of cultivation also seem to be three levels: scholar, juren, and tribute. You should know, for scholars, which exam is the most important one, right?"

"Of course I can try it." Li Chunfeng replied without hesitation. He has put some effort into it, and although he has not really taken the exam, he is still very clear about the real process.

"Yes." Tongyan nodded and said, "So, no one cares about your exams for many years before. Once you are on the list, everyone will be the same. Do you understand?"

"I probably understand." Li Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "What you mean is that the thirteenth level is like that test. Once the tribute is issued, you can become an official. The same is true for this practice. Don't care how long you have practiced before. People with good luck may get into the first stool, while people with bad luck may take years to achieve it."

"The son can be taught." Tongyan smiled and said, "That's probably what it means. The third floor is like a door. If you are lucky, you may find it all at once. If you are not lucky, you may not find it in your life. Of course, this has a lot to do with everyone's talent. Generally speaking, people with good talent are always easier to find that door."

"But it's not right." Li Chunfeng remembered what Su Banyue had told him that there was a mountain on the mountain, and felt that Tongyan said the same thing, but then he frowned and said, "Isn't it your previous meaning that the quality of talent is not a decisive factor? Why are you going back now?"

"The quality of talent is of course a decisive factor." Tongyan said slowly: "I haven't finished my words yet, and you also know that the merit test is not the end of a scholar. If you pass the merit test, you can become an official, but the books of sages do not teach you how to become an official, right?"

"Yes." Li Chunfeng didn't know what she was going to say, so he nodded in confusion.

"Then let me ask you, why do some people who have poor grades in the exam have a good time when they become officials? But some people who have no idea about becoming officials?"

"This..." Li Chunfeng seemed to know what she was saying, and thought for a while and said, "Because being an official is completely different from studying. Reading only provides the basis for being an official. That is the true intention of being a human being, and if you are an official... God! I understand."

"Do you really understand?" Tongyan smiled.

"Yeah." Li Chunfeng said excitedly: "Reading is like cultivating one's own god. Once you enter the Gongshi Sect, the previous god will not play a decisive role. At this time, the key role is the soul. What you mean is that the difference between the god and the soul is very big. Some people may not have very good qualifications, but the soul is another matter."

"It's this truth." Tongyan clapped her hands and said, "I didn't expect you to understand so quickly. Indeed, just like you said, the talent that ordinary people show is just the talent of this god. This aspect is of course very useful, for example, you will be very smart. But in addition, the talent of the soul cannot be revealed. In theory, a fool's soul may also be very powerful."
