Immortality, Starting from the Side Sect

"Disciple knows that the teacher once said that although there have been seniors who have achieved the foundation of Taoism in this teaching for a long time, there is no one who can achieve the middle grade or above."

Lin Qinhu replied in a deep voice: "I am lucky that I have the opportunity to become the first monk in the sect to practice this method and obtain the highest level of Taoism."

"Oh, top-grade Dao foundation. There are countless qi-refining techniques in the world that can prove the top-grade Dao foundation, but there are not many that have the meaning of perfection. Even among the big Taoist sects, there are only a few sects. Practicing such a wonderful method can be regarded as a matter of luck."

Jiao Zhenren's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "Others can't cultivate it, but you can do it, which means that the Qi of this method is with you. Since the Qi is with you, you will definitely be able to practice the Qi to Hunyuan. If you step into the Dao Foundation again, you Why not cherish the opportunity, only encounter a small setback, and just waste 10% of your magic power to achieve a high-level Taoist foundation."

Lin Qinhu remained silent.

Master Jiao glanced at him, and then said: "But you remember what I said next to you. Then I said that most of the methods in the Heshan Sutra, the fundamental teaching of the religion, are patchwork and complete, and the road is rugged. Do you remember this?" "

What does it mean?

Chen Ci was in the crowd and pricked up his ears to listen.

Among the two top-grade qi refining methods in the Heshan Sect, the Five Yunyin Magic is actually better than the Qianshan Xingmai method. He had heard Lin Laohu mention it before, but almost no disciples could master this method, so in the Sect, it was relatively He doesn't attach much importance to it, he just controls the Qianshan Meridian Technique.

But listening to what Master Jiao said today, it seems that there are some other differences?

"Disciple remembers."

Lin Qinhu buried his head and whispered: "Disciple has no regrets."

"not regret?"

Jiao Zhenren looked a little impatient and waved his sleeves: "Now, when your magic power is not as good as this in the future, you will know how powerful it is. It is really annoying. Your cultivation is not for me. If you don't care, why should I be angry?"

But just looking at his sallow complexion, which was three points better than before, it was obvious that Master Jiao was still quite angry.

Chen Ci grinned. He didn't expect that his cheap senior brother would be really tough.

"The foundation of immortality begins with Qi refining. Ninety-nine percent of the monks in the world are in this state."

Master Jiao glanced at everyone present: "Are you the same as this person on the ground? You feel that you have both talent and wonderful methods, and there is no lack of opportunities. It is easy to attain the foundation of the Tao. If you attain a high-grade foundation of the Dao, it will be even more difficult." Are you complacent?"

"Disciples don't dare!"

No one on the field dared to be loud, and Lin Qinhu didn't dare to say anything either.

Talent? Magical method? Opportunity? Doc?

After looking at everyone on the field, Chen Ci wondered if his share had been averaged out, but after looking at it this way, he noticed something was wrong.

Although it is not obvious that there are more than ten monks on the field, it can still be seen that they are divided into three small groups.

There were five people standing behind the real Taoist nun, four in the middle, and then there were the monks from Chilongguan and Chen Ci, six people standing. Not to mention the position, the Taoist robes, clothing, and cultivation temperament were all somewhat distinct. It feels like no matter where you are, there are hills.

"The difficulties in refining qi are due to the difficulty in finding the magic method, the limited lifespan, and the difficulty in releasing the true qi."

"There are tens of thousands of qi-refining techniques in the world, especially among the casual cultivators of miscellaneous families. They may be lucky enough to understand a few qi-refining formulas and start to open up the acupuncture points. If it is passed down for several generations and a few outstanding talents emerge from the sect, it is not impossible to Qiao Qiao gradually completes the Qi refining method, and some miscellaneous family inheritance can produce a Taoist master, or even a Xudan master, because of this."

Jiao Zhenren sighed: "There are very few Qi refining methods that can complete three hundred and sixty orifices. The number of Zhou Tian is intended to be perfect. Even those big Xuanmen sects can complete one Qi refining method to three hundred." If the fifty-nine apertures cannot be repeated over and over again, this method will never be perfect. Therefore, the methods with the meaning of perfection are rare and precious. Even if they are not considered the magic method of immortality, they are also secrets that are not taught by major sects. If The magic power obtained by condensing the true energy of the three hundred and twenty-four orifices is a high-grade Taoist foundation, but it is not perfect, and the magic power is not self-generated."

Hearing this, Chen Ci suddenly understood why Master Jiao was angry.

Feelings are cheap. Senior brother has cultivated the Five Yun Yin Magic, and has the Qi cultivation to open the 360 ​​orifices or close to the 360 ​​orifices, but he has never been able to achieve the perfect Tao foundation. As a result, he is about to reach his 120th birthday. Unable to succeed, or maybe he was stimulated by the incident in Xishan Fuquan Mountain, he simply gritted his teeth, hurriedly obtained a high-grade Taoist certificate with 324 orifices, and rushed to behead the Yao family.

Lin Laohu probably has his own considerations, but Zhenren Jiao just hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

Chen Ci was not in that situation, so it was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong, but he found that the expressions of the cultivators on the field were different.

Some of them are enlightened, some are complacent, and some of them are just the remaining Red Dragon Temple monks. The expressions on their faces are full of doubts about "What is this talking about?", just like a poor student who makes up for a lesson and doesn't understand every word.

Chen Ci felt inexplicably that they, the Heshan Gaiden disciples, felt vaguely excluded.

"A Qi-refining monk, before he transforms from his mortal body, can only practice for a hundred years. If he is determined to follow the path, he will naturally open up the acupoints as high as possible before attacking the foundation of the path. This is a matter of longevity. .”

Jiao Zhenren said slowly: "But condensing the magic power with zhenqi is like a mortal swinging a sledgehammer. If you have a hundred kilograms of strength, you can swing a hundred kilograms of sledgehammer. The difficulty is self-evident. If you have a hundred kilograms of strength, you can swing an eighty-kilogram hammer." It's much easier to use a sledgehammer, but three hundred and sixty orifices are already the limit. If you can't surrender every ray of true energy and polish the whole body's true energy into a unified body without wasting any, you won't be able to achieve the foundation of Taoism. Complete.”

"Teacher, my wife once said that although Zhenqi cultivation requires excellence, there is no need to force it. It is normal for monks to retreat for a year and a half. It is a pity that arrogant people often have obsessions and end their lives sitting in a quiet room. .”

Xu Shi saw Master Jiao instructing everyone to practice today. A handsome monk in a blue shirt and long robe with eyebrows on his temples clasped his fists and asked: "We are both high-grade Taoists. Apart from the one point difference in magic power, do they have any big influence on the Tao?" ?”

"We monks are all practicing the methods of the sages. Although there is a path under our feet, it is difficult to change the direction."

Jiao Zhenren smoothed his long beard, glanced at this man, and nodded slightly: "If the path is clear, it doesn't matter, just follow it; but if the path is difficult to describe, and the true energy has been cultivated to perfection, there is no need to Dao Ji Tu compiles the magic power, and the whole body's true energy can self-condensate the magic power and fit it closely to one's own body. This will give you a few more choices in the future, so you won't have no choice but to go."

"Thank you, teacher, for clarifying my doubts."

The monk bowed and retreated, with a smile on his lips. He didn't know what he was smiling about.

But Chen Ci also practiced the Five Yun Yin Magic, but he could hear the flavor of it. Although Heshan Sect has this high-grade Qi refining method passed down, because few disciples have practiced it, there are no instructions for subsequent practice in the Heshan Sutra. , I’m afraid it’s not very clear. Although Lin Laohu has obtained a high-grade Taoist foundation, the power of the Taoist foundation is not perfect, and it is estimated that the subsequent path will not be easy.

Hmm. It's hard to say whether Lin Laohu has a high-grade Taoist foundation. Doesn't it mean that if he can't practice the Five Yun Yin magic to perfection, he will almost be dead?

Alas, the side door is the side door, and the road is full of pits.

I don’t know if I can cross the river by taking advantage of my senior brother.

"Calm down, at least I still have Master Jiao's thigh that I can hug. Although it's difficult, I won't despair yet."

Chen Ci calmed down the energy in his chest and decided to practice the five ghost transporting method vigorously when he returned, and then practiced the five ghost possession method vigorously to attack the cultivation of the netherworld's true energy.

"On the road of spiritual practice, if every step is almost the same, it will be almost the same. At the critical step, it will be a little bit, just a little bit closer, and then the future will be cut off, and you will regret it."

Jiao Zhenren curled his lips and said: "Get up, you are such a big man, how can you kneel down at all times? Just remember that you said 'no regrets' today. Since you want to fight, fight thoroughly, and forget about it in the future." Let’s talk about the future.”

"Get up, catch the tiger, and prove the high-grade Taoist foundation. You can be a true disciple in any sect. It means that your master has to be obedient even if he gets an advantage."

Taoist nun Zhenren waved his fly whisk lightly, helped Lin Qinhu up from the ground, and smiled angrily at Zhenren Jiao: "You are so busy on weekdays and you don't give them much guidance on their practice. Instead, after your disciples have made breakthroughs in Taoism, you come to point fingers. It's shameful. Don't be ashamed, if you are not happy, you can make Qinhu my disciple, that would be great too."

"Hmm."

Master Jiao stroked his long beard and did not dare to speak seriously anymore.

Lin Qinhu took advantage of the situation and said, "The disciple is unfilial and has let the teacher down."

"Although it's not the New Year's Day yet, your teacher and I have to visit our elders and friends in a few days. We don't have time to call you again to teach you Taoism. Today we will have a casual meal together and have a lot of fun."

This white-robed Taoist nun was obviously capable of taking charge of the household, and she made up her mind immediately.

"This Master Jiao, I won't stay and disturb you until I have something important to attend to."

It was Senior Brother Shen from Chilongguan who spoke out. He cupped his fists and saluted with a hint of apology on his face.

As an outsider, even though he is from the same family as Heshan, it would be a bit disrespectful to stay at this kind of family dinner.

And for some reason, Chen Ci felt that this Taoist master from Red Dragon Temple seemed to be slightly afraid of Mrs. Jiao.

"There's no rush. Let's stay together for a quick meal."

Jiao Zhenren waved his hand and didn't say much. The five people in Chilongguan did not dare to refuse anymore, but their faces also showed joy. They were just here to show their faces, but now they can stay and have a meal, and maybe they can get some. Taoist practice is naturally an unexpected joy.

Fruits and vegetables, side dishes, rice, and a pot of wine.

Chen Ci was also shocked. The simple meal invited by Master Jin Dan turned out to be just a simple meal. It was not even meaty and fishy. The food on it was all common food. There were no spiritual treasures except for a few Taoist boys. When serving on the field, there is not even a trace of dance music.

No, the Heshan Sect only has a few good traditions such as eating, drinking, and having fun. Forget about the rest, we can’t skimp on food and drink.

If it weren't for all the monks in the room receiving such hospitality, Chen Ci would have suspected that these Heshan Gaiden disciples were being targeted, especially him, who was sitting at the end and was about to leave the temple.

The main ones are naturally Zhenren Jiao and Mrs. Jiao.

The disciples in the hall are divided into men and women. On the right are four female cultivators, and on the left are twelve male cultivators. Chen Ci is the last, followed by the monks from Chilong Temple. Fortunately, Lin Qinhu is sitting next to Chen Ci. After getting started, he didn't leave his cheap junior brother alone.

However, this seat is awkward no matter how you sit. Although the hall is quite lively, the excitement belongs to others and has nothing to do with the people behind. The female monks only talked and toasted with Mrs. Jiao and a few monks in the front row. As for Chilong Temple and others The monks were all very silent, immersed in their meals and never said much.

"Don't look at it. Master Jiao is a Qing cultivator. Usually there is no food in this temple. It's good to have a meal like yours."

Lin Qinhu said lightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Well, my cheap senior brother is probably still angry with Jiao Zhenren, otherwise with his high-grade Taoist cultivation, he would not sit in the second-to-last seat with me.

Thinking of this, Chen Ci inexplicably felt more balanced. He raised a glass with Lin Qinhu and walked away. He asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, how can I address Mrs. Jiao without being disrespectful? By the way, what are the disciples of the same sect, are they? Why do other disciples with big surnames in the sect feel that the methods they practice are different from ours?"

Chen Ci is not talking nonsense. The painting style of the monks in this temple is really different. How can I put it, the first half is the style of the immortal family, and the second half is the style of the outsiders.

"Master's wife's surname is Yang. As for these, hey, we can't be considered to be from the same sect."

Lin Qinhu held the wine glass and said in a low voice: "The few here are disciples accepted by Master Jiao at Tianhe Taoist Temple. They have not entered the gate of Heshan. Those female cultivators are disciples of Master Niang and came from Longhu Mountain."

Hey, which lineage of Heshan was named, and it was so grand and so on.

Chen Ci blinked and slowly typed a '? ’.

"Well, you got it right, so I told you to be careful. If you are killed, there will be no way to deal with it."

Lin Qinhu chuckled and said: "Master's wife is a master of Jindan in Longhu Mountain. If you mess with her disciples, the teacher won't say a word."

"Bang~"

Chen Ci's hand shook and he accidentally knocked over the wine bottle on the table, making a soft sound.

Surprise is on the one hand, after all, the reputation of the Heshan Sect is here. Although it does not mean that everyone will fight each other, if the disciples of the big sect really want to do justice for heaven, they will rarely kill them by mistake.

On the other hand, Mr. Jiao is really a role model for our generation, but I don’t know if he is just trying to make progress, or if he is enduring humiliation and burden for the great cause of Heshan, he really wants to study more.

"It's not as strong as the wine, it's not as strong as the wine."

Chen Ci smiled coquettishly, quickly picked up the wine bottle, and took a sip of wine to calm down his shock.

If in the future, just in case, if it really falls into the hands of the disciples of Longhu Mountain, can this relationship be put aside?

But it is also possible to die faster.

After taking a sip of wine, Chen Ci came back to his senses, wait a minute, are fellow Heshan disciples really not welcome here?

Could it be that Master Jiao took the script of the Dragon King’s son-in-law? !

I don’t know whether this soft sound interrupted something, or whether Jiao Zhenren raised his wine glass, and the voices on the field gradually faded away.

Master Jiao stroked his long beard, raised his glass and said, "Monks of our generation are all based on Taoism. Drink a full glass. You must not relax, you still need to work hard."

"Yes, take the life of the teacher (real person)!"

Everyone in the audience quickly stood up and toasted in return.

"Qinhu, at today's banquet, you are the most diligent in your Taoism. Although it is not quite to my liking, you should be rewarded."

Jiao Zhenren held the wine glass and asked calmly: "Elixir Talisman Book, power and practice are difficult, do you have anything to ask?"
