Realizing This Is Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years
Chapter 25
Golden Core Dao, Seven Emotions and Six Desires
***
The reason why Cui Heng believed that the transformation of the Golden Core into Nascent Soul could only be completed in the civilized society where people lived was due to the conditions described in the Eternal Soul Cultivation Technique.
After reaching the Grand Completion stage of the Golden Core, the Immortal Beginner Cultivation Technique had registered two different paths.
One was the Dao, and the other was the Buddha.
If one wanted to cultivate the Dao, one would have to let the Golden Core possess spirituality, allowing the Golden Core to live and develop into a baby.
If one were to cultivate in Buddhism, the Golden Core would not need to have spirituality. One only needed to guard the precepts and extinguish the desires, and the Golden Core would spread throughout the body, and the Golden Body could be refined.
Cui Heng naturally chose the Dao cultivation path.
However, at first, he did not know how to make his Golden Core acquire spirituality, nor did he know how to make his Golden Core come alive. He thought it was like the Foundation Establishment realm, where he would adjust his Dharmic power to activate his Dao foundation.
That was what he did in his final moments in the Starter Room.
Unfortunately, he got nothing.
The Golden Core still shone brightly, but it did not seem to acquire any spirituality.
Instead, he ended his early days and came out of the Beginner's Room and met with a group of grave robbers.
Cui Heng felt an overwhelming fear from them, and at the same time, he actually felt a trace of undetectable spiritual fluctuations had grown in his Golden Core.
When Zhao Guang was saved and revealed an excited expression, he felt that his Golden Core had gained a very refined trace of spirituality.
The feelings of these two types of spirituality were different, but caused subtle changes to his Golden Core.
Referring to the Buddhist path that was appropriate to cultivation, it required one to abstain from desires and extinguish all emotions. It was inevitable that he would guess that the spirituality needed to nurture the Golden Core required emotional fluctuations from the outside world as food.
If Buddhism keeps the seven precepts and quenches all desires, reaching the Nirvana Golden Body, then cultivation means entering the world and understanding the seven emotions and six desires, nurturing the Nascent Soul?
That's possible indeed.
Therefore, Cui Heng decided to confirm his speculation in this aspect while looking for items to collect currency.
...
“What a handsome young man.”
“He's really handsome. I've never seen such a handsome young man before.”
“Aiya, if it wasn't for me being married, I would really like to go and ask about her.”
“You are shameless! Hehe! But... she looks good!”
From time to time, he could hear the laughter of the women.
The women in this country don't seem to be too restricted. Even unmarried women can still walk together on the streets and even whisper about men.
So after Cui Heng came to Xiangxi City, similar sounds were heard continuously.
How else. All immortal cultivators had unique temperaments that were extremely attractive.
This was especially true for a cultivator who had reached the Late Completion stage of the Golden Core Realm. He exuded a transcendent and handsome temperament.
Moreover, Cui Heng himself was handsome.
It naturally attracted the attention of many young women.
But he doesn't care about any of it.
According to Cui Heng's initial plan, he intended to stay at the inn first.
After that, he would order some dishes in the main hall and listen to the surrounding guests while eating.
That way, he could understand the situation around here.
After all, according to Wuxia novels, the lodging lobby was the best place to gather information.
But before he reached the inn, he met a noisy group of bridesmaids.
A festive atmosphere filled the entire street.
Indeed, this joyous atmosphere was beneficial to his cultivation.
It's just a wedding reception. If he could attend the wedding, there would definitely be more advantages.
Cui Heng's gaze swept across the roadside and saw a boy running around. He walked over and crouched down, smiling as he said, "Son, what's your name?"
The boy looked like he was seven or eight years old and was very cute. He blinked his eyes and said, "Wang Hu, my parents and grandparents call me Ah Hu."
“Ah Hu, which family will get married?” Cui Heng took out a red tomato from his sleeve and smiled. "Tell me and I'll give you this fruit."
"It smells so good!" Ah Hu's eyes twinkled. He looked at the tomato in Cui Heng's hand and nodded. “This is the young master of the Li family from the north of town who is getting married. Their house is huge. It's the biggest house in the north of town!”
This tomato was something that Pei Qingshu treated as a Vermilion Fruit. It contains a certain amount of spiritual energy and is very attractive to children with sensitive senses.
"Here we go!" Cui Heng threw the tomato at the boy and walked towards the north of the city.
"Thank you!" Ah Hu was very polite. After receiving the tomatoes, she bowed to Cui Heng and thanked him. He thought, “This fruit is so fragrant! Father, mother, and grandparents would have never eaten it. I'll take it home and share it with them!”
Cui Heng did not care about the boy anymore. He walked straight north of the city, intending to hitch a ride at the wedding.
No, it was to immerse yourself in joy and experience the seven emotions and six desires to enhance the Golden Core spirituality.
...
The Li Family was one of the richest families in Xiangxi City.
It is said that the ancestors of the Li family once worked apprenticeships in the largest fabric store in Hedong County and learned the best skills.
After returning to his hometown, he not only opened his own cloth factory, but also taught the skills of weaving to fellow villagers. It was only then that Xiangxi City became a famous cloth industry city.
This Li family could be said to be the founder of the entire Xiangxi City and a benefactor to the people throughout the city.
Although over a hundred years had passed and the Li family had declined in comparison to the times of their ancestors, they remained loved and respected in the city.
Therefore, on the day of this young master of the Li family's wedding, there were countless people who would attend the banquet, almost filling the streets in front of the Li family.
The Li family did not reject anyone. As long as they give congratulatory gifts, they can attend the wedding.
After all, they had a rich family background, so they were not afraid of going broke with just a banquet. They just want to celebrate with more people.
Cui Heng mixed with the crowd. When he saw the congratulatory gifts from the people in front, he almost burst into laughter.
Some give eggs, rice, and even stones to be found among the gifts.
There are all kinds.
When it was Cui Heng's turn, he took out another tomato and placed it on the gift tray before going to the wedding.
This joyous scene caused Cui Heng to be unable to hold his breath with emotion.
He had never seen such a lively scene in the Starter Room for 300 years.
“Brothers and brides! Subject to Heaven and Earth!”
A loud scream could be heard from the front. The two brides finally came out and prepared to pay their respects.
Even though Cui Heng was sitting at the back, with his cultivation, he was able to clearly see the movements of the two brides.
He could clearly feel the joy of the groom receiving the bride.
"Well?!"
But at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed.
Cui Heng noticed that the bride's footsteps hesitated a little, causing a feeling of reluctance.
Reluctant?
Could it be melodramatic?
Cui Heng raised an eyebrow.
Bang out!
At this moment, the sound of someone kicking at the door sounded from outside. The joyful atmosphere instantly turned silent.
