When an ordinary monk enters Taoism for the first time, his Taoist practice starts from scratch. If there is no chance, even if he has good talent, he has to study hard for two or three years before he has a chance to enter the ninth level.
Huang Fugui is a clear example.
At the age of fifteen, he was favored by the great immortal in his clan to enter Taoism. After three years of hard training, he was now only one step away from becoming a Taoist monk.
Speaking of which, Huang Fugui's cultivation talent is not the best, but it is still excellent. He is worthy of being cultivated by all major cultivation families and sects, and is a mainstay.
Chu Chen practiced cultivation for less than a month, from entering Taoism to reaching the highest level.
This speed can no longer be described as fast, but can be described as flying with a sword, turning into a rainbow and chasing light.
Chu Chen understood the shock in the heart of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, and the little ghost boy, and hurriedly recounted the story of tonight's adventure with Fugui.
Even though many details were omitted, the two of them were surprised again and again.
After the kid was surprised, he looked resentful again:
"Senior brother, you didn't bring me with you for such a fun thing. If you had brought me with you, I would have snatched all the spiritual fruits back!"
"Definitely next time."
Chu Chen touched the little boy's head.
"Yeah!" The kid nodded seriously.
"You two guys are really blessed."
Taoist priest Xu Ping said with emotion:
"I went to the ghost market to meet the Dragon Lord at the night banquet and drank the moonlight divine wine. Today I met the Fire Origin Spirit Fruit. It's really a good fortune."
When Chu Chen heard the words, he realized something and said:
"Master, does this Moon Flower Divine Wine paired with the Fire Spirit Fruit have a miraculous effect? When I was refining the spirit fruit, I found that it was very easy to practice. My magic power continued to grow, and my cultivation level skyrocketed like crazy!"
"good!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded slightly.
"So I say you have good luck. This fire spirit fruit and even the yang spirit object need a little pure yin to be blended to reach its full potential. This is like the process of alchemy, water and fire complement each other, and yin and yang are reconciled."
"You two boys collided by mistake. You didn't waste the spiritual fruit at all. Instead, you perfectly fit the secret of alchemy practice, and your cultivation level has greatly increased."
"That boy from Fugui hasn't drank much Yuehua Fine Wine, and his cultivation is not as good as yours. However, he has a solid foundation in cultivation and is about to reach the top level. This time, he will definitely reach the top level."
"You two boys are such a blessing!"
Taoist Xu Ping recalled the hard work he had gone through when he entered the imperial examination, and he felt a sigh in his heart.
It really lives up to that saying, comparing people to each other will make people mad.
Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Master, my disciples started practicing Taoism later than the rich and noble, and the scholars were late. Today I have caught up. This may be due to the destiny of heaven."
"well said!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded slightly, then turned his head away and said:
"You two are still a bit reckless. The Wolf Demon King probably has a ninth-level Taoist cultivation level. Fortunately, there is no problem. This time you have to thank Fugui. He took the risk and rushed in to grab two spiritual fruits. I will share one with you.
Very good and worth getting to know.”
"Um."
Chu Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.
In fact, his contribution in snatching the spiritual fruit was no less than that of Huang Fugui.
Whether it was observing the moonlight to find the right time in the early stage, or interrupting the Wolf Demon King's demon wind spell in the later stage, and successfully becoming the queen of wealth, his contribution was not bad at all, and he also took a huge risk, which is worth sharing a spiritual fruit.
Fugui also knows this very well.
Chu Chen didn't explain much to his master, so as not to be scolded again for being reckless.
In addition, what Master said is correct.
Wealth is indeed very honest. He snatched the spiritual fruit without swallowing it or keeping it secretly. This in itself is a reflection of his character.
To make friends, you have to make this kind of friends.
"Master, my senior brother has entered the ninth level. You can teach and train generals. Once you have a divine general outside your body, your senior brother will be a true Taoist mage."
The little kid seemed to remember something and jumped up in surprise, shouting repeatedly.
He looked even happier than Chu Chen.
The so-called divine generals are not only the divine generals who protect the law, but also the heroes and other gods in heaven.
After the Taoist priest imparts the urn, he can communicate with the gods and generals in heaven about their merits, and invite the gods from the lower realms to enter your dharma urn and be commanded by you.
For Taoist Taoist priests, "summoning gods and sending generals" is an extremely important skill.
The flying gods reveal the emperor, issue memorials, pay homage, wish the country good luck, call for wind and rain, step on the gangbang and fight, chant incantations, ward off disasters and diseases, heal and suppress, transform and transport, go out of the netherworld and into the underworld, help life and survive death.
etc., you can rely on the gods to complete it, which will greatly increase the power of various spells and make it easier to succeed in doing things.
Therefore, refining generals is extremely important to Taoist priests and is the core magical power.
Only when you are successful in refining can you be qualified to be called a mage.
Taoist spells include soldiers and horses going down the altar and soldiers and horses going up the altar.
Chu Chen already had soldiers and horses under the altar. After the ceremony, Xin'an County City God's Mansion allocated 21 soldiers and horses to him.
Right now, we are short of the most powerful soldier - the divine general in the urn.
After possessing the ninth-level cultivation practice, he barely met the requirements for "refining a general".
"Little devil, master, it's me who's my disciple, or you who's your disciple."
Taoist Xu Ping glared at the little guy angrily.
"Hey, sir, let me remind you."
Those who are favored are always unscrupulous. The little kid was not at all afraid of Taoist Xu Ping's reprimand and made a face indifferently.
"Go away and stay here."
Taoist priest Xu Ping waved his hand, shook the little devil away, and then said to Chu Chen:
"Refining generals is extremely important as refining gods. Your cultivation is still short and your foundation is not stable. You have just started to learn the talisman and you cannot master it overnight. I will first teach you Deng Xin, Zhang Tao, Xun, Bima, Zhao Wenguan, the ten generals in your body."
General Talisman, you start with Shu Ling Talisman."
"Yeah, I know."
Chu Chen nodded, naturally agreeing.
He is not worried about not being able to learn the "method of training generals". Maybe in a few days, it will appear in the inner temple, and he will be able to master it quickly.
Of course, Chu Chen did not completely place his trust in the Heart Temple.
When his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, taught him the talismans of the ten great generals of "Deng Xin, Zhang Tao, Xun, Bima, Zhao Wenguan", he studied very seriously and did not slack off at all.
One night passed.
The next day, after gathering the purple energy of the morning sun, Chu Chen followed Taoist Xu Ping and entered the Yamen of the Ghosts and Gods Division.
Speaking of which, this is the second time that the master and the apprentice have entered the Ghost and God Division together. In the past, they always stayed in separate places to prevent others from gossiping.
This time, the reason why we entered the Yamen of the Ghosts and Gods Department together was naturally because Chu Chen had entered the imperial examination and needed to report to the Ghosts and Gods Department.
There is a big difference in the treatment of monks whether they are qualified or not.
At the gate of Guishensi Yamen, the master and apprentice met an acquaintance.
Surprisingly, it was Huang Mei, Huang Fugui, the deputy director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
The two uncles and nephews were radiant and full of spring breeze. It looked like they had encountered a great event, and the smiles between their brows and eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard they tried.
"Hey, Xu Ping, your apprentice has also entered the first grade?"
Huang Mei looked surprised. He had heard that Chu Chen had entered Taoism not long ago.
Even with the help of the "Fire Origin Spirit Fruit", it is impossible to reach the top grade all at once.
The fact that my family is rich and noble is because we have practiced hard for two or three years. Why does this kid Chu Chen have such a good reputation?
Taoist Master Xu Ping laughed and explained: "This is also the fate of the two children. Our master has a secret method that is specially used to cooperate with rare treasures such as the Fire Yuan Lingguo. This is how this kid became a master in one fell swoop. Hahaha, let Brother Huang
