Chapter 201: Preaching_1
"By the way, how is your injury?" Fang Qing asked.
Su Chengyu lifted his clothes, revealing no trace of injury on his body. Fang Qing rubbed her eyes, and exclaimed, "Cultivators really are extraordinary. Such a severe injury and not a single mark remains!"
She observed with her own eyes how Su Chengyu was beaten to a bloody pulp yesterday. However, within a single night, all his injuries were completely healed. Only a miraculous cultivator could accomplish such a feat.
After eating, Fang Qing asked, "Can you tell me about cultivation?"
"The first threshold of cultivation is enlightenment. Everyone achieves enlightenment in different ways. Some people may achieve it by observing fish or watching the tides, others by watching birds or studying ants. It’s a profound mystery that can only be experienced through intuition, not transmitted through language. One has to realize it on their own," Su Chengyu explained while sitting on the sofa.
Fang Qing could understand every single word Su Chengyu said, but she couldn’t comprehend the deep meaning behind them. The words seemed empty to her.
"How did you become enlightened?" Fang Qing asked.
"I practiced the silent meditation for twenty years, breaking free from my constraints, and was able to become enlightened," he replied.
"No wonder people used to refer to you as a mute. You were actually practicing silent meditation. Can I practice silent meditation too?" Fang Qing asked curiously.
"Of course, you can! Are you able to endure not speaking a word for twenty years?" Su Chengyu laughed.
Fang Qing pondered for a moment and replied, "I cannot! Not even for twenty days. But I still don’t understand what it means to have enlightenment and to enter the Dao."
