The Path to Immortality

Yun Yi Taoist sighed, not surprised at all.

He just said: "Then let's start from the beginning."

"Ancient Taoist texts are said to be the oldest characters that the first group of practitioners in ancient times comprehended by observing the nature of heaven and earth."

"This kind of text can carry the power of heaven and earth, just like the array patterns of arrays, they all have incredible power."

"If I teach you the history and evolution of ancient Taoist texts in detail, let alone three months, I'm afraid I can't finish it even in three years."

"Although I don't know what you want to do by learning this kind of Taoist text, let's keep it simple and mainly talk about some specific interpretation methods."

"In ancient Taoist texts, there are actually only a few hundred common characters. Even if you count some obscure characters, there are only a few thousand at most. If you want It is not difficult to master the basic interpretation of each Taoist character. "

"The real difficulty is that each ancient Taoist character has many meanings. Once combined, it will change in a thousand ways. If you don't have an accurate understanding of the power of heaven and earth and the specific meaning they carry, the interpretation you get may go in the opposite direction or even make no sense!"

"The key point I want to teach you is the various meanings of each Taoist character. And how to combine the context to deduce which interpretation to adopt."

"Today, let's start with these twelve most basic characters."

After saying that, he pinched a magic formula and condensed a water mirror in front of Fang Ping.

The water mirror showed hazy ripples, and transformed into Taoist texts similar to those on the silver foil pages.

Then, Taoist Yun Yi explained in detail.

Fang Ping finally had a way to learn ancient Taoist texts, so he didn't dare to slack off. He was fully focused and listened attentively to every word of Taoist Yun Yi's explanation.

It must be said that this foundation-building cultivator who has studied the ancient Dao text for a decade is indeed very talented.

Under his earnest teaching, the Dao text that was originally as obscure as the heavenly book has become comparable to the level of alchemy and pharmacology. Although it is still extremely difficult, Fang Ping can barely understand and keep up with the progress.

Taoist Yun Yi did not just talk about it. After each explanation, he would give some simple examples to facilitate his understanding, and would occasionally test him to confirm whether Fang Ping understood it.

The result was satisfactory to him.

"Although your comprehension is average, at least you are not a dead wood, and I can save a little effort."

After the teaching that day, Taoist Yun Yi commented like this.

"I'm sorry for the trouble, senior."

This foundation-building cultivator did teach very attentively, and Fang Ping was very grateful.

He almost forgot something, so he quickly took out the Qingyu Lingcha gift box he bought from the market from his storage bag and presented it with both hands.

"It's just a little gift, please accept it."

Taoist Yun Yi scanned the gift box with his spiritual sense and understood what was in it: "Green Jade Spirit Tea? This small box, I'm afraid it won't cost hundreds of spirit stones?"

A few hundred spirit stones are nothing to him, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

But for a cultivator who has just entered the inner gate and is only at the fifth level of Qi training, it is a big gift.

In order to learn ancient Taoist texts, this boy is willing to spend it.

It seems to be a bit of his own style in the past.

Taoist Yun Yi was also slightly touched. He thought about it and said: "It must be that Taoist Wu who told you that I like to drink spirit tea? Well, if it is other gifts, I will definitely not accept it. This box of spirit tea is your gift, so I will accept it as a favor."

Speaking of this, his tone paused slightly: "Of course, I will not let you, a junior, suffer a loss."

As soon as the voice fell, Taoist Yun Yi took out a blank cover from the storage bag.

"This is the note I compiled in my spare time, all about the interpretation of ancient Taoist texts. You can take a copy and study it yourself. But without my permission, you must not pass it on to others, even to close friends, otherwise you will be held accountable. Do you understand?"

Although the other party's tone was calm and he did not say what the consequences would be if he violated it, Fang Ping could feel the stern warning behind the other party's words.

It must not be a good ending.

He immediately said seriously: "Please rest assured, senior, I swear to heaven that I will never pass it on to others!"

Seeing this, Taoist Yun Yi's face was slightly relieved, and then he handed him the note: "Return it to me after ten days, remember not to damage it or lose it."

Fang Ping thanked the other party again, and when he saw Taoist Yun Yi took a sip of the tea bowl in front of him, he immediately took the initiative to say goodbye.

Taoist Yun Yi did not try to keep him, but only reminded him to come earlier tomorrow.

………

Returned to his cave from Taoist Yun Yi.

Fang Ping didn't care about resting, he immediately took out paper and pen, and wrote down the previous teachings of Taoist Yun Yi in a hurry, so as not to forget anything.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until all the contents were written down and verified repeatedly.

After meditating for a while and recovering his exhausted mind, he took out the notebook that Taoist Yun Yi lent him, carefully placed it on the stone table, and began to copy it page by page.

"For the sake of Elder Wu, although Taoist Yun Yi agreed to teach me, if he didn't have the last intention, he would probably not have the sudden idea to lend me this Taoist manuscript to copy."

It's true that the more courtesy, the less blame!

He worked overtime until late at night that day. After copying more than one-tenth of the contents of the notebook, he made sure that he could copy it within ten days, and then he stopped writing temporarily.

Learning and copying ancient Taoist texts is very mentally exhausting. Considering that this is not a one or two day's work, he didn't force himself and lay down on the bed and slept with his clothes on.

………

For the next three months, Fang Ping's daily schedule became unusually simple.

Every morning, I went to Taoist Yun Yi's cave on time and did not return until the evening.

After returning, I could not do anything else. I had to consolidate what I learned during the day and complete the assessments and homework given by Taoist Yun Yi.

Not to mention the alchemy, even the progress of cultivation was temporarily slowed down. Every day, I was so tired that I fell asleep immediately without any distractions. I was beaten by the big monster transformed by the ancient Taoist text in my dreams, and I was beaten by a group of people at other times.

But this high-intensity teaching and learning also had an immediate effect.

Fang Ping could clearly feel that his understanding of the ancient Taoist text had made significant progress and improvement.

Especially after the foundation laid in the first two months, Taoist Yun Yi began to teach him some common interpretation formulas, which made it possible for Fang Ping to apply these formulas and interpret unfamiliar Taoist texts by copying them.

Finally, the last day of the third month.

After assessing Fang Ping as usual, Taoist Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction.

But for him, a foundation-building cultivator, he was willing to spend energy to teach Fang Ping, more out of consideration for Elder Wu.

The spiritual tea offered by Fang Ping and the hard work he showed in the process only made him slightly recognize him.

But after lending the notebook, this recognition was no longer owed to each other, and Fang Ping even gained far more than he paid.

For this reason, after the original promise was fulfilled, this Taoist Yun Yi had no intention of continuing to teach Fang Ping, but turned his face and drove him away without hesitation.

"The three-month deadline has come, and you don't need to come from tomorrow. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me at the end of each month."

He said in a cold tone.
