Chapter 27 This son-in-law is truly a good person!
"Wow, Mother has such a great figure! She looks even better in this gorgeous Taoist robe!"
Tian Ling'er's bright black eyes stared intently at Su Ru, who was trying on the Taoist robe, her gaze sparkling, and she made no attempt to hide the envy in her voice.
The six fellow disciples, including Song Daren, all had their eyes shining, secretly lamenting that their master's wife, who usually lived deep in the mountains, still lacked beautiful clothes.
Su Ru was absolutely stunning at that moment!
Su Ru was already beautiful, and she had dressed up especially for today.
At this moment, set against a backdrop of white feathered robes, her wide sleeves and slender waist, her ethereal beauty and otherworldly charm, made her seem like a fairy descended to earth—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a fairy.
Xu Yan also openly observed this stunningly beautiful woman. The beauty and her gorgeous attire complemented each other perfectly, and the more he looked at her, the more delightful she became.
Looking at the radiant Su Ru, Tian Buyi sighed in admiration, "Clothes really do make the man!"
Su Ru naturally noticed the expressions on everyone's faces.
For some reason, my calm heart was stirred by a few ripples.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her teenage years.
At that time, she and her senior sister Shuiyue were praised as the "Twin Beauties of Qingyun" because of their good talent in cultivation, outstanding appearance, and some resemblance. They were famous for a time.
But after she chose Tian Buyi, married him, and lived a secluded life, her former glory had long since faded with time.
At this moment, in the center of this small hall, she seemed to feel the scene of being the center of attention in the past.
At this moment, she had a smile on her lips, and not only did she feel much younger, but she also looked radiant.
"Brother Xu!"
Just then, Tian Ling'er ran up to Xu Yan, shook his arm, and looked at him expectantly.
Everyone in the lobby burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Ling'er likes pretty clothes too!"
Xu Yan laughed heartily, patted Tian Ling'er's head, and said with a smile:
"You're still young, and I don't have a small size of Taoist robe yet. In a few years, when you're older, I'll definitely give you a set!"
"It's a deal! Thank you so much, Brother Xu!"
Tian Ling'er beamed with joy, and only after making a pinky promise with Xu Yan was she satisfied.
Seeing this, Tian Buyi became even happier!
Su Ru then thanked Xu Yan again.
Everyone sat down again and started chatting.
After a moment, Tian Buyi finally couldn't help but bring up the topic of "innate physique," and apologized, saying that if it involved Xu Yan's cultivation secrets, he should forgive him.
Su Ru and the others also stared at Xu Yan, their curiosity tinged with anticipation.
"It's not a particularly important secret, and I can tell you without hesitation, but whether you can cultivate this physique is another matter!"
Seeing this, Xu Yan explained the first eight cultivation realms of the physical body secret realm in the world of immortality.
He also stated that he has reached the seventh stage of cultivation, "internal strength," which is his current state.
"Everyone can cultivate to the innate body! This is truly unbelievable!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi was deeply moved, and the teacup in his hand trembled, almost spilling the tea.
If Xu Yan's ancient cultivation methods were combined with the cultivation methods of the Qingyun Sect, what amazing results would that have?
The realm of Taiqing will no longer be a distant goal for them!
This will also be his chance to revitalize the Dazhufeng lineage!
At that time, who among the other six factions would dare to underestimate him?
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are quite young, yet you have already reached this level of cultivation. It seems that this level is not difficult to cultivate to, is it?"
Su Ru suppressed her turbulent emotions, her eyes sparkling, and with a gentle smile, asked softly.
Since entering the world of cultivation, after hundreds of years of arduous practice, who doesn't want to live a long and healthy life and climb to that supreme realm?
Could the mysterious Xu Yan before them be their benefactor?
At this moment, not only Song Daren and the others held their breath, but even the sensible Tian Ling'er stared intently at Xu Yan.
"It's simple in some ways, and difficult in others."
"For my method of cultivation, the specific method isn't the most important thing; to truly achieve something, the resources for cultivation are the most crucial!"
These basic cultivation knowledge of the Xuanhuang Great World have no bearing on either side, so Xu Yan didn't mind saying a few more words.
He was very familiar with the Great Yan Dynasty. The body-refining techniques for the first eight levels of the Physical Body Realm could be learned in the Imperial Academy or various martial arts schools.
Compared to the three outer sect techniques of the Feathered Ascension Sect, the only difference is that the speed of body tempering and combat skills are slightly inferior.
Even if you practice ordinary cultivation techniques, as long as you have enough resources, you can still advance to the Divine Warrior Realm.
However, if one cultivates to the eighth level of the Divine Might Realm and wishes to advance to the ninth level of the Spiritual Connection Realm, the first hurdle is spiritual cultivation.
Upon reaching the realm of supernatural powers, the importance of cultivation techniques becomes even more apparent.
However, apart from independent cultivators, disciples of immortal sects or cultivators with powerful backing are not worried about cultivation techniques.
This is also one of the benefits of joining a major power.
But whether it's a physical cultivation realm or a supernatural cultivation realm, cultivation resources are the most important thing.
"Is the method of spiritual practice very simple?"
Su Ru's beautiful eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but confirm.
"There are different methods of cultivation, some difficult and some easy, but if the goal is simply to advance to the Inner Strength Realm, the difference is not significant. If you wish to learn, I can teach you a martial art."
Xu Yan smiled.
The three outer sect martial arts of the Feathered Ascension Sect are not worth giving away for free, but the Wild Bull Fist and the like are fine.
"What a wonderful son-in-law!"
Tian Buyi looked at Xu Yan and felt increasingly satisfied.
At this moment, even Su Ru's gaze towards Xu Yan became much more affectionate.
"Cultivation resources? Does this kind of cultivation require a large number of spiritual herbs? Can't the spiritual energy of heaven and earth satisfy the needs of cultivation?"
Tian Buyi seemed to have thought of something and eagerly pressed for an answer.
"It's related to elixirs. To be precise, it's related to what you eat!"
An ancient text says: Herbivores are good at running but foolish, carnivores are brave and fierce, grain eaters are wise and skillful, and those who eat air are divine and long-lived.
"In my cultivation method, what you eat determines how far you can go on this path of cultivation!"
"The better you eat, the faster you improve. There's a common saying, 'You are what you eat,' which means roughly the same thing."
"Your Qingyun Sect's cultivation involves meditating all day, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and refining it into Taiji True Qi, with the main purpose of accumulating True Qi."
"The physical body is just a shell; it has never been valued, nor has its potential ever been truly developed."
"If one only eats plain tea and rice every day, merely maintaining basic needs, then even after several lifetimes of cultivation, one would never reach the Inner Strength Realm!"
Xu Yan said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the passionate hearts of everyone from Dazhu Peak in Shoujing Hall seemed to be doused with cold water, instantly calming down.
"Brother Xu, so you're saying that to cultivate to the Inner Strength Realm, one needs to consume elixirs, is that right?"
Tian Ling'er asked curiously, "I didn't see any food or cooking utensils at your place before. When I asked you, you said you were taking pills to stave off hunger..."
Xu Yan nodded and said:
"The purpose of cultivating in the Body Refinement Realm is to completely transform the physical body. However, this transformation requires the consumption of a vast amount of vital energy."
"Without a large amount of vital energy to support it, forcibly cultivating techniques will damage the foundation of the body in the later stages."
"How much of the vital energy in ordinary food can actually nourish the body?"
"Plants absorb the essence of heaven and earth, accumulating over many years, and their medicinal properties are beyond question. For us, they are a gift from heaven."
"Take its essence and discard its dross, refine it into elixirs, replace ordinary food, and take it every day. This is the most suitable path for cultivation."
"Think about it, if you take this kind of elixir and remain untainted by worldly affairs, over time, as your cultivation level increases, your body will be flawless, pure, and natural—isn't that what's called a 'natural body'?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi looked enlightened and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He also dabbled in alchemy.
However, they mainly focused on refining pills for healing and curing diseases, and never thought of refining pills to enhance vital energy.
Of course, the main reason was that among the ancient prescriptions he came into contact with, there were no similar elixir formulas.
Since Xu Yan takes pills every day, he must know how to refine them.
"My dear son-in-law, please enlighten me!"
When Tian Buyi said this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Tian Ling'er blushed and was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head!
Upon seeing everyone's reaction, Tian Buyi also realized what was happening, and his face turned red. Why did he blurt out his true feelings in his excitement?
"Ahem, well, Fellow Daoist Xu..."
