Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 176 Harmony between the piano and the flute (two in one)

This "Feng Gang Sutra" is an authentic Taoist practice, originating from a powerful person in the Xuanxuan realm.

This powerful person was a woman. After she passed away, her body remained incorruptible and retained her radiance during her lifetime.

Lu Zhexuan was shocked when he first saw her body. After observing for a while, he realized that she was dead.

And this powerful man also left a final letter.

I won’t go into too much details, but the general idea is that she once had a loving Taoist companion. They ate, lived, and practiced together every day. She thought they could Ascension together, but she didn’t expect that the other person had second thoughts, which made her frustrated. Leng finally stayed in seclusion in this Cave Mansion until his death.

Of course, Lu Zhexuan didn't know at that time that there was an essential difference between the "Taoist couple" here and the partners or husbands she understood.

This so-called "double cultivation" is one of the orthodox cultivation paths of Taoism, which points directly to the Great Dao of immortality.

The ultimate goal of "dual cultivation" is the blending of yin and yang, the same origin of life and death, and the ultimate goal of transcending life and death.

The choice of "Taoist companion" is naturally the top priority.

Only in crooked ways would one pick up yang to replenish yang or pick up yang to replenish yin. This decent "dual cultivation" method emphasizes mutual benefit and the symbiosis of yin and yang.

Therefore, the "Tao partners" must also have similar minds and equal cultivation. It is best to choose only one, and it is best for the other party to learn the same skills, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

This "Feng Gang Sutra" is undoubtedly a very superior technique.

But it’s also a double-edged sword.

The existence of a "Taoist couple" means huge sunk costs and emotional investment. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to change.

For example, this powerful person in the Xuanxuan Realm, it was precisely because of this that he found it difficult to break through, and finally died in depression.

However, Lu Zhexuan was ignorant at that time. She wanted to live and avenge her family... This was the only way she could go.

Under the guidance of a ray of thought left by the power of the Xuanxuan Realm, she became a practitioner. She practiced according to the basic skills in the "Feng Gang Jing" and also achieved some success.

By the time she understood what this room technique was, it was already too late.

At this time, she already knew that her physique was destined to be a catalyst for favoring men. People were so dissatisfied that it was not easy to find a Taoist companion who was willing to treat her as an equal.

So... Lu Zhexuan was like walking into a dead end.

Even though "Feng Gang Jing" is the most superior dual cultivation method, it is useless to her.

What she can master and practice is always only the most basic skills.

This is the biggest reason why her cultivation speed is slow!

Chen Kuang didn't know the reason, he only thought that Lu Zhexuan was hurting his family.

He opened his mouth to console and said:

"As the saying goes, good things come hard, and tribulations are sometimes opportunities. Don't worry too much about it. I used to be just a small court musician. I escaped from my country when the country was in ruins, and I achieved what I have achieved now."

As the saying goes, don't persuade others to do good unless they have suffered.

If you speak casually and let others look away, it will inevitably appear frivolous. However, if you have the same experience, or even more miserable, it will be enough for people to resonate and convince you.

Sincerity is the real nirvana.

As it happens, Chen Kuang's experience can only be described as "tragic".

Sure enough, when Lu Zhexuan heard that the master in front of him, who was infinitely higher than himself, actually had a tragic past, and that he started out as an ordinary person, he immediately felt that he was much closer to him.

Lu Zhexuan asked with some curiosity, and Chen Kuang changed his experience and said it was something that happened in a remote small country that had been destroyed in this era.

By the way, I also replaced the existence of several Saints and turned them into Grandmaster, so as not to sound too shocking.

But even if it has been weakened and simplified, his tortuous experience can be regarded as bizarre even among practitioners. Otherwise, why would he have deceived the little girl Lian Mi into all kinds of confusion and directly emptied the small treasury? .

Although Lu Zhexuan was older, his reaction was almost the same...

The Taoist nun held the tea cup and concentrated on it. Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she didn't want to miss anything for a moment.

Ever since she understood what her physique represented, she had less contact with people. Even if she did, she would cover her appearance to prevent herself from getting into trouble, and she would not meet many people.

Although she is now more than thirty years old, her way of dealing with people and her temperament are still the same as when she was a boudoir lady.

No one had ever spoken to her like this.

However, Chen Kuang also knew that the other party was not here to listen to this. Talking too much would inevitably reveal the truth. He just briefly explained it, returned to the topic, and asked the other party what doubts he had in mind when he came to discuss Tao.

Lu Zexuan realized that he had lost his composure just now, and a faint blush appeared on his face. He quickly calmed down and answered truthfully:

"I have often felt over the years that my talent is insufficient and my cultivation speed is slow."

The Taoist nun sat upright with a serious look on her face: "Recently, I heard that the Way of Waidan is a shortcut to practice, and I was a little moved... but I also saw some books that dismissed it as heresy, and I suddenly hesitated."

She looked at Chen Kuang: "What do Fellow Daoist think?"

In fact, wherever her talent was lacking, the basic skills she had been using naturally made her progress slowly...

But she didn't want to tell anyone the reason.

But if she maintains this level of cultivation, if her physique is exposed in the future, she will inevitably become a mermaid!

Therefore, she began to think about these external means to assist her cultivation.

However, there was no one else around her who could discuss it, and she had no mentors or friends to guide her. She was confused and could only hesitate on her own.

Now that I met an expert who could naturally increase his cultivation level just by relying on the sound of the piano, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to ask for advice.

Chen Kuang has a strange look on his face, and his life experience is indeed wonderful. It is his turn to give a lesson to Earthling Taoist Master, and teach her how to practice...

This so-called "outer elixir method" actually refers to taking elixirs to promote cultivation, or simply to forcibly improve one's cultivation level.

Although Chen Kuang has never taken any elixirs, in fact, in the Mud Body Gold Sculpting Method, some elixir formulas for practicing are recorded.

It's just that he doesn't need it at all.

These perfect and stable elixirs are beneficial and harmless to practitioners, as long as they practice diligently and fully refine their medicinal power.

There are not many cases where elixirs are harmful to people. Generally, either the effect of the elixir is quite extreme, or the elixir has been taken all year round but is unwilling to practice more, resulting in the accumulation of medicinal power and blockage of the meridians.

The former is a ruthless person and the latter is a lazy person. Both situations have nothing to do with Lu Zhexuan.

Chen Kuang covered his mouth and coughed twice, told the general situation, and then said:

"The quality of the external elixir depends on the heart. As long as you don't slack off and absorb all the power of the medicine, there will be no harm."

"If Fellow Daoist is a disciple of the sect, someone will tell you this truth as soon as you enter."

Lu Zhexuan looked ashamed: "I am just an Independent Cultivator with average talent. No sect is willing to accept me..."

Chen Kuang asked curiously: "Have you tried Profound Spirit Dao Gate? I heard that Fu Li disciples pay more attention to the mind."

Lu Zhexuan shook his head and said: "I have been to Fu Li Xianzhou and took a look from a distance... Later I learned that the Profound Spirit Dao Gate does not accept disciples over thirty years old who have never set foot on the stairs."

"I happened to be Innate at that time."

Good guy...

The Profound Spirit Dao Gate of this era is even more outrageous than the requirements for accepting disciples in later generations!

Ascending Tower Realm under the age of 30, that is at least one of the top 200 in Canglang Rating.

In other words, only the two hundred members of the younger generation are eligible to be accepted as disciples by Profound Spirit Dao Gate. It is really a matter of selecting the best among the best.

If this rule remains the same in future generations, Profound Spirit Dao Gate will definitely not be able to gather 40,000 disciples.

I really don’t know...if Profound Spirit Dao Gate in future generations knew that he had persuaded his second-in-command to quit because of his excessive demands, how embarrassing the situation would be.

Chen Kuang held back his laughter and said with a serious face: "That's Profound Spirit Dao Gate's ignorance of good and bad."

"A person like Fellow Daoist is beloved by the aura of heaven and earth, and is loved by the sun and moon. Only one appears in thousands of years. I am amazed when I see him. Why belittle yourself?"

Listening to this unstinting compliment, Lu Zhexuan blushed even more for a moment and felt ashamed. He lowered his head and wanted to put back the hat he had just taken off.

This... this is really too disgusting.

From Lu Zhexuan's point of view, there was absolutely no way that the other party was praising his talent. After all, a thirty-year-old first-level climber could only be considered a middle-class person.

If you want to climb to the twelfth floor in the sky, there are many levels of obstacles on each level, and the obstacles are as dangerous as thousands of mountains... This is not for nothing.

The difficulty of promotion in Ascending Tower Realm is almost higher than that of Kaiqiao and Innate combined!

She didn't break through the Ascending Tower Realm until she was thirty-four years old. So even if everything goes well, at the most optimistic estimate, she would have to be at least eighty or ninety years old if she wanted to climb the 12th floor!

At this time, it has already reached the end of longevity...

At this speed, it's hard to say whether she can break through before her life span is exhausted.

That's why Lu Zhexuan was so eager to seek guidance and help in cultivation.

So……

At this moment, Lu Zhexuan could only think of one possibility for Chen Kuang's compliment -

What he was praising was his appearance.

Lu Zhexuan used to be in the boudoir with no reference. He looked at himself in the mirror every day and didn't think he was very good-looking.

But later, she kept encountering young people who were up to no good and knew how to protect herself. Naturally, she also understood how much of a disaster her appearance was.

Others covet and covet her appearance, but Chen Kuang's sincere praise and appreciation are even more valuable...

Lu Zhexuan shook his head quickly: "The Profound Spirit Dao Gate has strict rules. If I don't meet the requirements, I won't be able to enter. If I do, it will be unfair."

"That kind of Profound Spirit Dao Gate is not the Profound Spirit Dao Gate I want to join."

Chen Kuang finally couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't look at Profound Spirit Dao Gate's current situation. It might be embarrassing in the future. Please join me."

Lu Zhexuan thought he was joking, but he was so coaxed that he couldn't help laughing and quickly stopped laughing.

She said: "Although I don't have the chance to join the Profound Spirit Dao Gate, if I can't be an Independent Cultivator in the future, I think... if possible, I will lower the cultivation requirements a little. As you said, those with the best character will be given priority. .”

Lu Zhexuan murmured in a low voice: "I hope there will be fewer Independent Cultivators like me in the world who have no one to point them out and have taken the wrong path..."

Chen Kuang was stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that the subsequent expansion of Profound Spirit Dao Gate’s enrollment was Lu Zhexuan’s decision?

This can be considered a good thing.

He also chatted with Lu Zhexuan about some spiritual practice experiences, told her how to take elixirs, and gave her several elixir prescriptions.

——Although the elixirs of the Clay-Embodied Gold Sculpting Method cannot be given, in recent years, Xi Mengquan has collected many elixirs from Xi Mengquan and sold them.

Xi Mengquan is almost an all-rounder and even taught himself alchemy. If Chen Kuang hadn't been under the same roof with Xi Mengquan for the past five years, he would have even thought that the latter might have an old man in him.

This is called the Son of Destiny, right?

After Lu Zexuan said goodbye, he walked out of the yard and heard bursts of piano music coming from behind. The tune was first of joy, then of farewell.

Lu Zhexuan could hear it and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She put on her bamboo hat again and walked towards her newly built Taoist temple.

…

In the following months, Lu Zhexuan would visit Chen Kuang almost every day to ask for advice on his spiritual practice.

At first, Lu Zhexuan was a little cautious, thinking of Chen Kuang as his senior.

But as she gradually became familiar with it, Lu Zhexuan became more and more relaxed, showing more and more faint smiles. In addition, the area was indeed clean enough, so she no longer always covered her face with a bamboo hat and white gauze.

Until one day, she broke through the second level of climbing stairs.

On a whim, on a whim, I found a piece of bamboo and made a bamboo flute.

After that, when Chen Kuang's piano music sounded in the distance, Lu Zhexuan picked up his bamboo flute and responded secretly.

In her opinion, her skills were just a show of shame in front of Chen Kuang. Every time when Chen Kuang's music stopped, she couldn't help but blush and stop playing immediately.

She raised her hand and pressed the bamboo flute to her chest and heart. She felt the accelerated rhythm and murmured to herself:

"It's really embarrassing. If he finds out..."

What if it is discovered?

Lu Zhexuan didn't know either.

All she knew was that she had some expectations that would be dashed by Chen Kuang.

Days like this lasted for almost a year.

Lu Zhexuan successfully broke through the third level of climbing the stairs!

This was something she never dared to think about before!

On this day, Lu Zhexuan felt the surging spiritual energy in his body. He looked out of the window of the Taoist temple and saw the house at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't help but be happy.

She murmured: "It's been a year since I received Mr. Tongjun's advice, but I haven't given him a decent gift yet..."

Although Chen Kuang said it was not necessary every time, it would be too ungrateful for him not to give it to him.

After making up his mind, Lu Zhexuan thought for a moment and then decided to leave the Taoist temple for the rare occasion and go to the Chamber of Commerce in the city to buy a magical Spiritual Treasure of sufficient value.

The Taoist nun put on the bamboo hat that had been gathering dust for a year, straightened her Taoist robe, and flew away, turning into a stream of light.

There is only one larger city nearby.

Lu Zhexuan had already inquired about it, and found out that there was a Baotong Chamber of Commerce with reasonable prices and reliable sales.

She doesn't have much savings, but if she spends all of it, she can buy a "star" level magical Spiritual Treasure.

But Lu Zhexuan didn't notice that as soon as she entered the Chamber of Commerce, there were two practitioners staring at her from a distance.

One of them narrowed his eyes: "The beautiful body...is she?"

Another nodded: "Yes, two years ago, it was she who escaped from the Beishuo Old Demon and asked for help from our Biyun Sect. I bumped into her. Unexpectedly, we just killed the old demon and she immediately ran away. .”

"I didn't expect that she actually hid in that western suburb for a year!"
