Wu Jie's cultivation of Gang Qi not only took another big step in his monastic career, but also had immeasurable motivational significance for his fellow juniors and sisters.
According to folk myths and legends, the so-called gods should be able to soar in the clouds and ride on the mist and travel thousands of miles in a day, they should be able to ascend into the underworld and descend into the netherworld, they should be able to eat clouds and drink dew to live forever... Only those who have achieved the realm of refining can do all these things.
, becoming a "god" that fits the imagination of the people of Kyushu.
Because they can fly in the air without the help of any magic weapon, Liangang monks are also commonly known as "Flying Immortals".
Wu Jie and the others are in the immortal sect, so naturally they will not be fascinated by legends like ordinary people. But immortals also come from mortals. Even An Ziqing and Luo Yu, who grew up in a family that cultivates immortals, are unavoidable.
He has a special yearning for the realm of refining Gang.
Stepping into this realm, flying on the clouds, and traveling towards the North Sea in the dark sky is the way an immortal should be!
Therefore, the success of Wu Jie's refining was like a group of climbers who were the first to rush to the top of the mountain, waving flags and shouting there, letting everyone who was still climbing down below see that hope was close at hand, and they were overjoyed.
A strong fighting spirit arose.
If he can do it, of course I can too!
This is not an unrealistic fantasy. Each of the sixteen disciples of the twenty-seventh generation of Qingyang Temple has gone through countless hardships to achieve their current achievements. Even the two who are currently only in the realm of Taoism are both
He has been practicing hard since he was an outer sect disciple, and he succeeded in practicing the entry-level Qi refining method, and was officially listed on the sect wall.
Each of them has strong self-confidence and firmly believes that the position they are standing at this moment is by no means the highest peak of their path to immortality. There are more scenery waiting for them ahead!
The senior brother who has truly become an immortal is the best example!
So after a simple and warm celebration, the juniors and sisters hurried back to practice. Needless to say, An Ziqing and Yi Ti were about to reach the peak of Tongyou, as well as Gu Yuan and Haidong Jian, who had always been diligent.
Next, even Tao Tuo, who has always been a bit lazy and always talked about "not being in a hurry", got a large bottle of Bigu Pill and went into seclusion.
As for Wu Jie himself, he was dragged to the lecture hall by his uncle Yiyunzi, where he and the elder of the sect, Mr. Huntian, used examples to encourage the outer sect disciples to continue working hard and not to slack off.
Fifteen years have passed since the original selection. Two of the six outer sect disciples that year have already entered the Taoist realm and have been officially included in the Qingyang Guanmen Wall, while the remaining four are still working hard.
Most of them are already quite old, and Chu Jieyu, the oldest among them, is nearly fifty. Even with the nourishing elixir distributed by the sect, his body has begun to age gradually. What's worse is not the physical problem, but the mentality - one by one.
After fifteen years of unremitting cultivation, they still could not achieve the innate realm, which made them gradually lose confidence in themselves.
For those who practice Taoism, the most terrifying thing is losing faith!
Therefore, Master Yiyunzi brought in two completely opposite monks as examples to encourage them not to slack off.
"For monks, age is not a problem at all! Elder Huntian of our sect did not enter the mountain to practice Taoism until he was nearly sixty years old. He did not become a Taoist until he was about a hundred years old. Now he has become the Patriarch of Huandan and is expected to ascend to heaven. And Master Nephew Wu is ten years old.
I entered the mountains to practice Taoism at the age of seven, and it only took me fifteen years to enter the realm of refining..."
"Look at them, one is old and the other is young; one took forty years to enter Taoism, and the other only took fifteen years to practice Gang... You can't find anything in common - that's what cultivation is like, and it's not the same as
Age, speed of entry...it doesn't matter much. These things you are thinking are simply incomprehensible and completely meaningless!"
Uncle Yiyunzi's method of persuasion was an eye-opener for Wu Jie. He didn't say anything like "hurry up and there's a lot to be done". He did the opposite, emphasizing that you don't need to care about age to cultivate immortality, which happened to hit the target of the four foreigners.
Just one word about the disciple's illness rekindled fighting spirit in their eyes.
However, the white-haired Mr. i-9 Tian and the young Wu Jie stood together, and the contrast was indeed obvious. Even Du Ruo believed what he said.
"Ah! It turns out that cultivating immortality has nothing to do with age..."
"Bah! Do you even believe this? We did a special test back then. After the age of fifteen, for every year older, the chance of succeeding in cultivating the immortality is reduced by eight thousandths. If you cultivate the Taoism at sixty, you will be hundreds of years old.
A freak who has stepped into the realm of innateness and finally cultivated a golden elixir... Not to mention that I have never seen it before, this is the first time I have even heard of it!"
"Ah? Is that really the case?"
"Yes, the Great Light Sect has also made statistics, and it is true that older people are not suitable for cultivation." Du Xin said calmly, "I just calculated the data, and the ratio of eight thousandths should be about the same."
"That's true! Then he is lying!" Du Ruo was immediately filled with anger, "How can an immortal lie?"
Wu Jie shook his head and sighed.
"Weren't you deceived to death by a lying immortal? It's been more than ten years, and you still haven't learned your lesson?"
"But Sanshan Taoist is a demon from the evil sect, but this uncle is a decent person!"
"Decent people can also lie - do you think I told them about the World of Heavenly Book? Did I tell them about you and Du Xin? Did I tell them about the Three Heavenly Questions and Time Travel Seniors?"
Three consecutive questions left Du Ruo speechless. He sat in a daze for a long time before muttering in a low voice: "I'm so stupid! I only knew that the evil sect can deceive people, but I didn't expect that the decent sect can deceive people more easily than the evil sect."
Awesome! This world full of liars is so scary!”
Wu Jie did not persuade her, but instead told Jasmine and Du Xin not to disturb her - this was Du Ruo's own matter, and she had to wait until she figured it out.
Du Ruo has very good qualifications and is very hardworking, but she is a bit too simple and easily deceived. If she can grow up a little, it may be good for her cultivation.
After all, what ascetics need is to develop human feelings. Only by gaining insight into the world can we reflect on ourselves, understand our true nature, and step into a higher realm.
Although that is still far away, Wu Jie does not want his sworn sister to stay in a lower realm all her life. He hopes that she can be as successful in cultivation as he is, and even achieve the golden elixir like Du Xin - if she can be like Jasmine
It would be even better if you achieve immortality!
After leaving the lecture hall, he came to the Institute of Research, which is the research center of Qingyang Temple. Various new spells and magical weapons are constantly being produced here. In the Institute of Research, from Elder Ye Ying on down, they are all engaged in research.
Kuang is the kind of dangerous person who makes Wu Jie worry about whether he will be dissected.
Of course, in fact, they never did such evil things as vivisection. Wu Jie was simply influenced by some online novels in his previous life and left a wrong impression.
"You're finally here!" Elder Ye seemed very happy. He wiped his oily hands twice on the light blue robe that was as dirty as work clothes, and then put his arm around Wu Jie's shoulder affectionately.
He led him to a stage that looked a bit like a machine tool, and performed a spell on the control circle. A bright red bead suddenly appeared in the air.
"I have always been very concerned about your injury. Although Zhang Ruiling's miraculous medicine can make you grow an eye again, is it necessary? As long as you can see things clearly, it doesn't make any difference whether it is with the naked eye, right?
?”
Wu Jie hesitated and did not dare to nod.
Although he didn't know the reason, his intuition told him that if he nodded hastily, something bad might happen.
Elder Ye did not notice his hesitation, and was still bragging about the magic weapon he had made: "But the method we used in the Research Institute is much more effective! Look at this bead, it is when I used to eliminate demons.
, taken from the venom sac of an Earth-centered poisonous spider, it not only contains powerful flames, but also increases your ability to use fire poison, giving you a powerful means to fight against the enemy in the future!"
The poison beads taken out of the poisonous spider's venom sac... Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Wu Jie's back.
Put this thing into the eye socket and use it as eyes? The taste is too strong!
This time, Elder Ye finally saw what Wu Jie meant, but he didn't take it seriously. He put away the poisonous bead and took out another blue bead.
"This is the dragon ball left behind by Chi Long on the far north ice sheet after he died of old age. It contains the old dragon's life experience. It can not only improve your deficiencies in ice spells, but also bring you a portable mentor who can be used at any time.
Answer all kinds of questions.”
"Where's that old dragon?"
Ye Ying shrugged his shoulders: "Don't you have a good relationship with him? He was introduced by Senior Brother Zhangsun, and after reincarnation, he joined our sect. His surname is Zhang Minglong."
"This is a relic from Uncle Zhang's previous life? Why not return it to him?"
"He doesn't need it anymore...it's just waste, just think of it as an eyeball."
Wu Jie shook his head like a rattle and firmly refused to agree.
"Then let's change to this one. It's purely handmade. It took me five years to make it. It can allow you to see the world that others can't see. It can give ordinary things such as umbrellas and spoons powerful powers, and it can also...
…Scare others!”
Wu Jie looked at those golden eyes full of strange charm, sighed and shook his head.
"Then you might as well take a look at this. The kaleidoscope eye is imitated based on the unique magic of an ancient clan. It can be used to cast several spells." Elder Ye said proudly, "The magic of that clan can only be practiced by the death of a close relative or a loved one.
But as long as you wear this eyeball, you will immediately have abilities that are no less than theirs!"
"This is so unlucky!"
"Then use this, it's simple and reliable!"
"The sight of this eye seems to be crooked..."
"Yes, it can allow you to change the way you look at everything and see the essence of things better!"
After a dizzying mental bombardment, Wu Jie finally did not hit the dangerous items that Elder Ye was proud of in his eye sockets, but instead put on a black eyepatch.
This eye patch has two functions: first, wearing it allows the eyes to see normally as if they were not damaged; second, it has an illusion effect and looks like ordinary eyes from the outside.
Elder Ye obviously disdained such a simple and low-level thing. He vowed to create an extremely powerful eye, and said that he even had a name for it!
"It's called Honglian Naked Eyes! I read this name from an ancient novel, and it sounds very powerful and domineering!"
"What exactly is this red lotus naked eye in that ancient novel?"
"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as the name is domineering!"
After bidding farewell to Elder Ye and others who had fallen into a frenzy of research, Wu Jie went to see Master Shaoguang and asked for a long vacation.
Calculating the time, his parents were nearly sixty years old and there was not much time left. Anyway, the three teachings of acting had just passed, and the sect should not have had any major events in the past few years. He simply stayed in his hometown, teaching his apprentices, and taking care of his parents until they died, doing everything he could.
Filial piety for the Son of Man.
Master Shaoguang naturally had no objection, but gave him a few small Taoist talismans that could lead him directly back to the mountain gate from anywhere in Kyushu, and told him to be careful.
When he was about to go out, Zhang Long and several other uncles came over and gave him some daily practice equipment, such as a small alchemy furnace and so on.
"You will be out here for a long time this time, so you should try to refine elixirs and make weapons in your free time. It is rare that you are so good at controlling fire, and you can even refine it into Nanming Lihuo. It would be such a waste not to learn this!"
After some greetings and farewells, Wu Jie stepped out of the mountain gate and gathered his energy. He could only hear the strong wind blowing, and a cloud quickly gathered under his feet. Then he stepped on the cloud and soared into the sky, rising up to the usual sword.
It flew to a height that it had never reached before, and flew in the direction of Chu State.
