"Speaking of Grandmaster Qing's uncle, he is a strange person of our Pianyun Sect." Xiao Fangqing replied a little excitedly
"I heard that he was born in an ordinary family in the secular world. He has been yearning for the path of cultivation since he was a child and studied under teachers everywhere. However, because his qualifications were too mediocre, no sect was willing to accept him as a disciple.
But he was not discouraged. He carried his luggage and traveled across mountains and rivers to come to Lingjingtian to become a disciple. He didn't know how he did it, but he actually passed through the barrier and came to our Pianyun Sect.
He also knew that he was not qualified to join the Pianyun Sect due to his qualifications, so he knelt in front of the mountain gate for ten days and ten nights.
In the end, the previous Supreme Elder was moved by his devotion to the Tao and made an exception to accept him as a handyman disciple.
You have also seen the skills practiced by the handyman disciple. They were not very good to begin with. In addition, due to his poor qualifications, it took decades of practice to successfully build the foundation.
As time went by, even the Supreme Elder forgot that he had ever accepted such a handyman disciple back, let alone others.
But no one expected that in a sect trial, he would defeat three core disciples in succession. You must know that the weakest of the three core disciples were in the realm of God Transformation, and the strongest had reached the Fusion state.
Qingshi's uncle became famous in this battle, and even other sects and aristocratic families in Lingjingtian heard of his name. The Supreme Elder made an exception and accepted disciples as his master, becoming his senior brother.
I thought that as a core disciple, with better skills and training resources, he would be able to shine and become one of the most powerful people in the spiritual realm. .????.
But what people didn’t expect was that after he became a core disciple, his progress was still slow, and it took him hundreds of years to barely advance to the Golden Core."
"Why is this happening?" After hearing this, Su Lingshuang immediately asked.
"I heard from Master that his qualifications are a bit special and completely different from ours. Normally, he cannot cultivate at all, even if he has even a little bit of cultivation.
But for some reason, he has cultivated to the realm of golden elixir, and his true combat power cannot be measured by the level of a normal monk." Xiao Fangqing replied.
"There are such strange qualifications in the world!" Su Lingshuang looked surprised.
Gu Qingxi suddenly realized that her guess was correct. The fat old man was the legendary ethereal spirit.
Normally speaking, people have spiritual roots. No matter how useless they are, they also have spiritual roots. However, because the attributes of spiritual roots are too complex, it is difficult to cultivate successfully.
(Of course, if the complexity reaches a certain level, such as her nine-spirit heavenly veins or five-element spiritual veins, she will become a cultivation wizard that is rare in thousands of years.)
The ethereal body is completely opposite to normal people.
People with this kind of physique do not have too many spiritual roots, but they have no spiritual roots at all.
Since there is no spiritual root, it stands to reason that it is completely impossible to practice.
But in Gu Qingxi's memory, in ancient times, there were people who succeeded in practicing with the ethereal body.
And the situation is exactly the same as that of the fat old man. He seems to have low cultivation level, but he can easily "ravage" opponents who are two or three levels higher than him.
It's a pity that that strange man was born too early. Gu Qingxi has just emerged in the world of cultivation. He has already reached the end of his life and is in Jiahexi. He wants to ask him for advice on how to cultivate the ethereal body, but he can't find anyone.
.
But even if she found someone, it would probably be useless. According to the information she heard, it seemed that the strange person didn't even know how he succeeded in practicing.
After many years, he finally met a strange man who was successful in cultivating with a phantom body. Gu Qingxi could not help but wonder if this was also related to the forbidden area of the Pianyun Sect?
Looking at the valley in the distance, she looked forward to it even more.
"By the way, why haven't I heard you talk about this great uncle a few days ago?" Su Lingshuang was amazed for a while and then asked in confusion.
"Because the Qing Master's uncle's qualifications were so unique, the Supreme Elder thought that he could not teach him anything, so he asked him to go out on his own to practice a long time ago, stating that he was not allowed to return to the sect at will unless the sect was at the critical moment of life and death.
Our great-uncle from the Qing Dynasty passed away many years ago, and we all thought he was no longer alive, but we didn't expect that he was still alive," Lu Anjun explained.
"Why is this happening?" Su Lingshuang became even more confused after hearing this.
"Probably because he can't find any suitable cultivation method for his physique, so he can only rely on his own insights. There are too many trivial matters in the Pianyun Sect, which will delay his cultivation.
Moreover, the Pianyun Sect cannot understand his peculiar physique and mysterious cultivation method, let alone outsiders.
Generally speaking, people are always a little afraid of things they cannot understand.
If he stays in the sect and still fails to improve after many years, even if others don't understand, they will be less and less afraid of him, and in the end they will no longer take him seriously.
But since he left the sect and wandered away, no one knew to what extent his cultivation level had been improved, and to what extent his true combat power had become, so they would be even more wary of him.
Then for the Pianyun Sect, his existence will become an invisible protection." Gu Qingxi explained helpfully.
She was a little surprised at first. The Pianyun Sect had already declined like this, so why didn't any sect family take an interest in them?
In her impression, although the sects and aristocratic families in Tianyuan Continent are not necessarily extremely evil, there are not many good men and women. Why have they become so hypocritical this time?
It was then that she finally realized the identity of the fat old man.
It turns out that this great uncle of Master Qing is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Pianyun Sect and a sharp sword hanging over the heads of other sects and aristocratic families.
"Yes, yes, master said the same thing back then." Lu Anjun nodded repeatedly, looking at Gu Qingxi with a little more admiration in his eyes.
I remember that Master said at the beginning that it took him a long time to understand why the Supreme Elder wanted to expel Grandmaster Qing's uncle from the sect.
But as for Gu Qingxi, she had only been in the Pianyun Sect for two days. She had seen Master Qing's uncle and saw through the Taishang Elder's intention at a glance.
"So, it's a good thing that the uncle of the Qing Master is back?" Su Lingshuang listened to Gu Qingxi's explanation with great interest, and suddenly asked a strange question.
"Of course it's a good thing. With Grandmaster Qing's uncle here, it can at least ensure the safety of the Pianyun Sect for thousands of years.
With this thousand years, it will be enough for us to revive the sect." Lu Anjun looked at her inexplicably and said.
"If it's a good thing, then why are you so afraid of him?" Su Lingshuang asked next.
"Are you not afraid?" Lu Anjun then realized what she was wondering about and said with a wry smile.
"I heard from Master that Master Qing's uncle was jealous of evil by nature, and he couldn't bear the slightest grain of sand in his eyes.
Because he was just a handyman disciple at first, and others knew that he was admitted into the sect by the Supreme Elder himself, they gave him some respect, so he did not cause any trouble.
But later, when he gained strength and the Supreme Elder accepted his disciples as his teacher, things changed.
Confronting the sect master in public and beating the disciples of the two peaks were commonplace for him. Even Du Peak Master's grandfather, Du Qianshan, who was known as the genius of the Pianyun Sect, was yelled at by him all day long like a little bastard.
He was scolded until his head was bloody.
This was still in his own sect, but outside, because of the injustice on the road, he wounded and maimed more sect disciples and descendants of the family."
"..." Gu Qingxi suddenly doubted whether her guess just now was wrong?
