Zhang Yu thought about it for a while and realized that no matter how he chose, all his skills and abilities were based on his own body.
For example, the seals he has mastered now, let alone the Hun seals, most of the Xuan seals he has mastered will consume his own essence once used.
And where do these primitives come from?
To put it simply, this can be regarded as the vitality of his body. If it is used too much, it will accelerate aging and affect life span.
Even if it is the light of the heart, it is still him who has the effect.
Because the light of the heart is "I"'s rejection of the world, if "I" itself is not strong enough, this rejection will naturally be very weak.
In the final analysis, all of this is based on himself. As long as he does not break the limits of his body for a day, this situation cannot be changed.
However, this does not mean that there is no way to control the overdraft of the currency.
For example, the previous Seal of Nourishing Yuan was used to accumulate vitality, so as to ensure that one's consumption during battles would not damage too much of one's fundamentals.
But it should be noted that there is only one such seal, but the seals used for consumption are several times that. There is an extreme imbalance between the two sides.
Just like a tall building supported by a pillar, it is already shaky. If you know there is a problem, but don't think about how to stabilize the bottom, but continue to increase the height upward, it is destined to collapse.
Therefore, having too many skills-biased seals at this stage is not necessarily a good thing. It will only harm oneself excessively, lead to premature exhaustion of potential, and be detrimental to the future.
Does Xuanfu not know this? It should be clear.
But he may think that as long as the monks can find the mystery and remove the obstacles that restrict themselves, then all problems will no longer be a problem. Or maybe they think that the current situation is urgent and it is more important for disciples to have the means to protect themselves.
The rest can only be put aside first.
These actually all make sense.
But he believes that at this stage, if he can obtain more seals to consolidate the foundation, that would be the most correct choice.
After considering these things, he had an idea in his mind.
So he packed up his things, came out of the cottage, and came to the side hall again to look for Fan Lan.
Fan Lan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhang has decided?"
He was very interested in the path that Zhang Yu wanted to choose. A Xuanxiu's choice of such a path often represents the person's xinxing philosophy.
Zhang Yudao: "I belong to mind and body, and the two seals of mind."
Fan Lan showed an unexpected look and said with a smile: "I knew you would choose this way, Junior Brother Zhang." He stretched out his hand, unfolded the bamboo booklet on the case, and pointed on it, "Junior Brother, all you need to do is here.
Write down the path you have chosen, and I will present the brief to the Affairs Hall, and then give you the seal you need."
Zhang Yu stood still at this time. He clasped his hands together and said, "I have something to ask Senior Brother Fan for help."
Seeing him like this, Fan Lan also sat up straight, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Junior Brother Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Yudao: "I think that after we have found the seal of the Great Dao, we first planted the seal of "keeping me". It can be seen that cultivating the Tao must put 'preserving myself' as the first priority. Although the seals and seals cultivated before are not bad, it is difficult to make up for the loss of vitality.
, so I would like to ask Xuanfu to give me another seal to cultivate my body and strengthen my foundation."
After hearing these words, Fan Lan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, obviously in agreement. He patted the table and said: "Junior brother, your idea is correct. If the foundation is not solid, how can a seedling become a towering tree?
?In this regard, Junior Brother Bai is not as good as you."
He thought for a moment and said: "Well, now that your name is on this bamboo book, I will make it clear to Senior Brother Xiang separately. With the contribution you have made this time, I don't think Senior Brother Xiang will do it."
Rejected."
Zhang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll bother you, Senior Brother Fan."
He didn't know if Xuanfu would allow his request this time, so he had already thought about it. If it didn't work out, he would go back and try to refine a strength-strengthening elixir, which he would take before every battle in the future.
slightly to make up for the loss.
But the situation was better than he imagined. Just one day later, he was found by Fan Lan again.
Fan Lan's expression this time was very solemn, and his usual relaxed smile was gone. He said: "Junior Brother, after Senior Brother Xiang heard your idea, he agreed very much, so he gave him a Superior Dao Seal.
," At this point, he suddenly sighed, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to print this chapter to you."
"Excellent seal?"
This was not the first time that Zhang Yu heard this word. A few days ago, when he was talking to Zang Shu outside Anshan, he heard him say that the Xuanfu seals were divided into superior and inferior seals.
Fan Lan looked at him and said: "Are you confused, since Xuanfu has the 'Superior Seal', why doesn't it let you practice it?"
Zhang Yu didn't say anything. Zang Shu said it was because of the difference between closeness and distance. Maybe there was this reason, but he felt that given the situation Xuanfu was facing now, there should be other reasons.
Fan Lan sighed and said: "Everyone can read ordinary seals, and the required divine energy is about the same, but this is not the case for superior seals. The more 'excellent' the seals are, the more divine energy they need to fill in.
And there is still the possibility of failure halfway, which can easily delay talents. Therefore, from the beginning, the so-called superior and inferior methods are actually the difference between difficulty and ease, and they will not be handed over to the disciples who have just started."
He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Xiang would give this seal to you. Even with your qualifications, Junior Brother, you may not be able to successfully read this excellent seal. But when it comes to the seal that strengthens the foundation,
But there is no one who can transcend this seal. And I see that my brother is obsessed with this. Although we are not as focused on Taoism as the old practitioners, since we are seeking transcendence, sometimes we naturally have to follow our will."
He took out a jade box from his sleeve, handed it forward, and said solemnly: "Junior brother Zhang, you need to remember that if you fail to read this seal, stop in time. Don't be too persistent to avoid delays.
The way forward.”
Zhang Yu looked at the jade box, nodded seriously, then stepped forward and reached out to take it.
At this time, in the Xuanfu Affairs Hall, Xu Ying was a little surprised and said: "Brother, did you give him the seal?"
Xiang Chun stroked his beard and said: "Junior Brother Zhang believes that sticking to the foundation is the right way. Since he thinks so, I will use this seal to see how far he can go. In this way, our Xuanfu can be considered worthy of him."
Xu Ying waved his sleeves and said: "I'm not optimistic about it. Since the establishment of our Dongting Xuan Palace, only one or two people have achieved this seal. In the end, they were unable to peek at the next seal due to too much consumption of divine energy."
Xiang Chun glanced at him and said: "We no longer expect him to be able to see into the upper levels of Taoism. Let's give him some skills that can be used to improve his combat power. This seal cannot be finally completed. What he gained during this period is as good as
He is not without benefit."
Xu Ying nodded and said: "That's true."
Xiang Chun asked at this time: "How is Master Ji's nephew?"
When Xu Ying heard this, he suddenly became energetic and said: "Master Ji's nephew is worthy of being a genius. I have passed on his secret instructions. Now everything is going well. Within a year at most, the mystery will be found. In fact, if
It’s not that I’m afraid that he will be too aggressive, maybe half a year is enough.”
Xiang Chun was surprised: "So fast?"
Xu Ying smiled complacently and said: "That's natural, senior brother. I have already said that Master Nephew Ji's talent is unparalleled." He said with great expectation: "When Master Nephew Ji has mastered Taoism, he can assist him."
Xuan Shou, put away those rebellious ones one by one, and restore the Xuan Mansion to its former shape."
Xiang Chun nodded slowly.
After Zhang Yu said goodbye to Fan Lan, he did not return to Zhuyuan Jingshe. Instead, he took the jade box out of Xuanfu and returned to his residence in the academy.
While walking on the road, he was thinking in his mind.
Xuanfu has undoubtedly given considerable support to his practice now. I am afraid that except for Bai Qingqing, no one among his peers has received such treatment. This may be because of his talents, so he is treated differently.
But on the other hand, Xiang Chun and others seemed to be deliberately hiding something from him, as if they were unwilling to truly accept him.
This gave him the feeling that Xuanfu's own attitude was quite fragmented, almost like a schizophrenia.
He shook his head, and regardless of what Xuanfu thought, he just had to do his own thing first.
After returning to his residence, he teased "Miaodan Lord" for a while, then returned to the study, took a few Yuanyuan Pills, and meditated on the couch to adjust his breathing. After a summer's time, he came out of meditation.
He sat down, then reached out and opened the jade box.
There were two jade slips placed on the red soft silk. He looked at them and took the one on the left with the precious cloud pattern engraved in his hand.
