The Path to Immortality

Facing Elder Wu's unintentional words, Fang Ping didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, he said: "There are still fifty years left, so I can rest assured. If you are lucky enough to find one or two life-extending elixirs, maybe I will go ahead of you."

These words made Elder Wu burst into laughter.

He took a sip of spiritual tea and said: "Over the years, I have taken care of several disciples who have been promoted from the outer sect. Unless something happens, no one comes to chat with me on weekdays... You kid, you should be there for nothing. Treasure Palace?"

Fang Ping was slightly embarrassed when the other party directly pointed out the reason.

But after spending these years in the sect, he has become much thicker-skinned, and he simply said frankly: "Junior does have something to do, and I want to ask Elder Wu for help."

Elder Wu said noncommittally: "Let's talk about it first. My ability is limited, so I may not be able to help."

Fang Ping said truthfully: "It's like this. I've been trying to learn ancient Taoist scriptures recently, but I'm suffering from the fact that the ancient Taoist scriptures are difficult and difficult to interpret. I want to find a senior who is proficient in this way to teach me how to interpret them."

Not surprisingly, upon hearing Fang Ping's request, Elder Wu also showed the same expression as the deacon in the Scripture Pavilion.

He wondered: "You want to learn ancient Taoist scriptures? Why do you suddenly think of learning this!"

Fang Ping mused: "It can be regarded as a personal hobby of the disciple..."

Personal hobby?

not necessarily.

I'm afraid I accidentally got some opportunity related to ancient Taoist texts.

Elder Wu is an old man and has an open mind, but he does not point out anything.

He had thought of various reasons why Fang Ping asked him for help, but he never expected it to be this.

Ancient Dao Wen... speaking of it, he really has some skills!

But is it worth it?

Elder Wu hesitated for a while and then said to Fang Ping: "I can help you with this matter, and the person who taught you is indifferent and has always been indifferent to external affairs. He will not explore the reasons why you learned ancient Taoism. However, I There is a condition."

There really is a way! Moreover, it is good to be indifferent!

Fang Ping felt happy and said, "Elder, please give me a clear explanation."

Elder Wu sighed and said: "That's it. If you can build a foundation in the future, I need you to promise to find a foundation building opportunity for a junior in my family. Of course, if you fail to build a foundation, this matter will be over. , just think that I’m doing this for you for free.”

Foundation building opportunity?

Fang Ping thought: "Is Elder Wu referring to the Foundation Establishment Pill? This matter is a bit too difficult. To say the least, if Elder Wu's junior got a Foundation Establishment Pill but failed to successfully build the Foundation, then What to do?”

Elder Wu said lightly: "The opportunity of foundation building does not only refer to the foundation building pill. There are also some foundation building spiritual objects that can also play a role in improving the success rate of foundation building. However, their effect is far less than that of the foundation building pill, and the foundation building It’s nothing more than being able to provide protection to the monks after the failure.”

After explaining this, he continued: "I don't expect you to get him a foundation-building pill. It would be nice to have a foundation-building spiritual object. If he fails to build a foundation in the end, it will be his." You can't blame others for your fate, just give him a chance."

Do you only need to provide one foundation-building spiritual item?

If that's the case, then this deal is much fairer.

He immediately took the Dao Heart Oath as Elder Wu said, and gave Elder Wu a personal token that he used with him.

At that time, as long as a descendant of Elder Wu comes to the door with this token, and Fang Ping has already established a foundation, he will help him plan an opportunity to establish a foundation.

"very good!"

Elder Wu was very satisfied with his straightforwardness. He immediately took out a pen and paper, and handed a letter to Fang Ping.

"Take my handwritten letter and go to Luo Yunfeng in the inner gate of Luoyang Sect to visit a foundation-building monk who calls himself Taoist Yun Yi."

"Taoist Yun Yi is extremely obsessed with ancient Taoist texts. He has been studying this kind of writing since the foundation was established, and has been studying it for a century now. In the Luoyang Sect, except for the few Jindan ancestors, Taoist Yun Yi has studied ancient Taoist texts. His achievements should be among the best."

"By chance, I happened to have some friendship with him."

Speaking of this, Elder Wu's face was slightly proud.

Fang Ping wrote down what Elder Wu said and asked, "I wonder if Taoist Yun Yi has anything he likes?"

If you come to study, let alone Shu Xiu, you should at least give someone some gifts.

"Not bad, junior, you are very smart."

Elder Wu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Taoist Yun Yi doesn't have any special hobbies. The only thing he is quite particular about is drinking spiritual tea. When you visit, if you are interested, you can buy a box of spiritual tea."

………

Take your leave from Elder Wu.

Fang Ping went straight to Luoyunfang and spent more than three hundred spirit stones in the Zhenbao Pavilion to buy a box of top-quality sapphire spirit tea. He packed it in good packaging and then went to Taoist Yun Yi's house with the gift. Cave.

Probably because Fang Ping was lucky, the number of people in Yunyidao just finished their retreat a few days ago.

After learning about Fang Ping's intention, his servant accepted Fang Ping's letter and asked him to wait outside for a while, then turned around and entered the cave.

This trip took more than an hour.

There was someone he wanted to ask for, and the other person was a foundation-building monk. Fang Ping had no other choice but to wait patiently outside.

It's a pity that it rarely snows here in Luo Yunfeng, otherwise Fang Ping would have told him a story about the snow falling in Yunmen.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that the attendant appeared again and said lazily: "Taoist Master Yun Yi already knows your intention, please come in."

Following the temporarily opened ban, Fang Ping followed the other party step by step and entered a cave decorated with antique style.

In the cave, Fang Ping saw Taoist Yun Yi sitting on a bed.

He was not handsome, and could even be said to be a little ugly, but he had a kind of elegant and refined temperament, which made him very attractive.

Seeing Fang Ping bowing respectfully, he nodded and said, "I have read the letter from Taoist Wu. Do you want me to teach you how to interpret the ancient Taoist text?"

Fang Ping said seriously, "That's right."

Taoist Yun Yi tapped the bed with his slender fingers, and after a moment, he said, "This ancient Taoist text is not so easy to learn. I have worked hard and studied it for a decade, but I still dare not say that I have mastered this kind of great text. I don't know, what level do you want to learn?"

Fang Ping was stunned, and subconsciously answered that it would be enough to learn to interpret common skills and Taoist arts.

But if he said that, wouldn't he be exposing his own background directly?

Just as he was thinking about changing his words, Taoist Yun Yi seemed to have made a decision.

He said, "Foundation-building cultivators also have a lot of things to do. How about this, for the sake of Fellow Daoist Wu, I will teach you for three months. After a year, you can study on your own. If you don't understand something, you can come to me at the end of each month to answer your questions. After a year, no matter how much you have learned, our relationship will end here."

His tone was not strong, but it clearly had an irrefutable meaning, and it was decided directly.

Fang Ping had no room for bargaining, so he could only perform a salute and said, "I will follow the words of the senior."

"Then let's start now." Taoist Yun Yi motioned him to step forward a few steps and asked, "Have you learned Taoist texts before?"

Fang Ping shook his head, "I only studied it privately for a week, but I didn't get anything."
