Chapter 1 The Beginning of Getting Started (Part 1)
In the solemn Patriarch Hall, fourteen disciples of the twenty-seventh generation of Qingyang Temple lined up in two rows and were being lectured by their master.
Their arrangement is quite special, with four people in the front row and ten people in the back row, which not only reflects their differences, but also embodies the spirit of a math teacher who dies young.
"Moli, be serious, I'm listening to the rules!"
Wu Jie almost laughed at Jasmine's words and hurriedly warned her not to speak again, lest he could not help but lose his composure during the solemn moment.
If you were expelled from the school because you lost your composure at this time, it would be a complete injustice!
However, he was also very curious in his heart. Among the four people in the front row, he was reportedly chosen by Mr. Huntian on the spot as the first disciple of this generation. Luo Yu and An Ziqing were both disciples from aristocratic families with profound backgrounds, but why was Yi Ti also ranked?
What about here?
Recalling Yi Ti's style that was incompatible with others, he was not surprised at all, he was just curious.
The long sect rules were finally finished. Wu Jie briefly summarized them, which basically said, "You must follow the right path and don't do those crooked things. As an upright cultivator, you must shoulder more responsibilities." There is nothing special about it.
Harsh terms.
Then, the disciples stepped forward one by one, and the teacher handed out the entry-level magical tools and encouraged them one by one.
Wu Jie was naturally the first to step forward, but the things he was handed out were exactly the same as others. They were a Qingyang Talisman with twenty-four spells sealed, a bottle of Su Xin Pill that could clear the mind and calm the mind, and a handful of
There are layers of cloud patterns, and you can tell at a glance that it is an extraordinary bladeless dagger.
After a whole set of rituals, the masters left, leaving only a few master uncles from the twenty-sixth generation to take them to do some remaining things.
They followed a Taoist priest named Cang Yunzi to receive the robes. They were all light blue robes, without any patterns from head to toe, simple and elegant.
Wu Jie's robe is slightly different from others. There are patterns drawn on the cuffs and hem, which are a golden-red flame and an ink-colored book. The pattern is not big, each pattern is only half the size of a thumb.
He inquired curiously and learned that the rules of Qingyang Temple were very special: no matter how old or advanced the disciples were, they must wear solid-colored robes. Only those who had achieved certain special achievements or had special identities
, to get the corresponding decorative pattern.
For example, the decoration on his clothes, the flame symbolizes his status as a senior brother, and the book symbolizes the achievements of his book "On Germ". Among these two patterns, the book is based on the rules, and the flame is the symbol of someone yesterday.
I came here specifically to ask him about it and then I confirmed it. At that time, he was still very surprised why he asked him "If you choose a logo for yourself, which one do you prefer?".
"So that's what happened!"
He sighed, and then naturally noticed that there were no decorative patterns on the dark blue robe of Taoist Master Cangyunzi. Apart from being darker in color, it was no different from the new disciples behind him.
Cang Yunzi obviously noticed his look, smiled slightly, and explained: "Although I have many disciples of Qingyang Temple, there are very few who can really make achievements and get the honor of adding patterns to the robe. Our generation only has
The seven disciples have this honor and are collectively known as the Qingyang Seven Heroes - haven't you all met them during the entrance examination?"
Wu Jie was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang An and the others to have such a big background! Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, An Ziqing was already protesting: "Can you please stop wasting time! Finish the business first and then ask if it's okay!"
"
It can be seen that he is really anxious.
Wu Jie didn't bother to get angry over such a trivial matter, so he stopped asking and led everyone through several portals according to the instructions of Taoist Cang Yunzi, and arrived in front of a quaint attic.
On the plaque on the attic were the three characters "library". When he saw these three characters, Wu Jie clearly heard Luo Yu and An Ziqing's breathing quicken at the same time, and they were obviously quite excited.
The person guarding the library is a Taoist priest named Sanyunzi. He has white beard and hair and looks old, but he is quite agile in his movements, which shows that he has profound Taoist practices.
San Yunzi obviously knew the identity and purpose of Wu Jie's visit, so he took them to the third floor of the library and gave each of them two jade slips, one red and one cyan.
"The red jade slips are more advanced and can record any classics. They are suitable for copying the major exercises you plan to learn. The green jade slips are inferior and can only record lower-level classics. They are for you to copy the minor exercises.
." San Yunzi explained to them, "Each person can only copy one of the major and minor skills. You can't bite off more than you can chew - there are enough on this floor to serve as the major skills, and the minor skills will be discussed later. 2
Choose the building again.”
Wu Jie and the others agreed in unison, and then each took the jade slips to search for the exercises that suited their own needs.
At this time, Luo Yu and An Ziqing had already ran towards a bookshelf in unison. They were so eager that they didn't even care about being polite.
There are labels on all the bookshelves, marking the names of the classics recorded in them. If the disciples are interested, they can also pick up the classics and look through them - in fact, most of these classics are wordless heavenly books, like the "Tai Shang"
Just like "The Theory of Innocence", it only records the author's experience.
Wu Jie noticed that both Luo Yu and An Ziqing were rushing to read a book called "Tai Shang Jiu Zhuan Dan Jing". Moreover, without any hesitation, the two of them took out the red jade slips and chose this
Meng Gongfa as a major.
"Excuse me, what's so special about this 'Tai Shang Jiu Zhuan Dan Jing'?" he asked curiously.
"This technique was written by the founder after he listened to the teachings of the Heavenly Immortal. Its origin is exactly the same as the theory of Taishang Tianzhen. They are both techniques left by the Heavenly Immortal." Wu Jie's status was special, and San Yunzi was always asking questions.
Answer, and the attitude is very polite, "Among the ancestors of our sect who have ascended through the ages, leaving aside the two amazing talents who have achieved the golden elixir path, most of the other people who have returned to the eighth and seventh levels of the elixir have practiced this
It’s a sect skill.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, including Wu Jie. They all put down the classics they were studying and looked at the volume, which looked ordinary.
It is this kind of skill that has made Qingyang Temple’s ascended ancestors famous throughout the ages!
Many people immediately walked over there, planning to choose this technique as their major like Luo Yu and An Ziqing.
This approach did not surprise San Yunzi at all, and he hurriedly advised: "Master nephews, don't be anxious! Although the Taishang Nine Revolutions Alchemy Sutra is profound and mysterious, there are other brilliant techniques in our sect -
To be honest, the cost of practicing this skill is quite high, so you should think about it carefully before doing anything else!"
"The price? What's the price?" Wu Jie couldn't help but ask.
"This skill emphasizes 'using the mind as the fire, the body as the cauldron, the heart as the medicine, and the soul as the guide'. By constantly analyzing oneself, one can continuously deepen the grasp of the true self, and thus continue to get closer to the great road. As far as design is concerned,
It is indeed perfect. But it has a huge problem - if the cultivator is not a talented person, his progress will be slower, and his lifespan may be almost exhausted before he can succeed in cultivation...
"
As he spoke, he sighed and pointed at himself: "You see, I am practicing this skill. Now I am almost two hundred years old, but I have just passed the two levels of Xiantian and Netherworld, and my life is about to expire.
Qi and blood are gradually drying up, and I will probably not be able to pass the Hundred Refiners exercise, and my achievements in this life can only go so far..."
"I'm not bragging. When I started, my aptitude and talent were considered to be above average among my fellow sects. If I hadn't practiced this technique, but instead practiced techniques such as 'Aoki Eternal Life Technique' and 'Guardian of One-Condensed Yuan', etc.
Although I dare not say that it will be possible to achieve the Returning Pill, at least it will be no problem to break through the three realms of Taoism and refine the Gang Qi to achieve an immortal body without leakage."
"Not to mention that after purifying Gang Qi, you can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, and you can have a life span of more than four hundred years just by achieving a flawless body!"
He kept sighing as he spoke, his expression full of regret.
Following the example of San Yunzi, many people who were not so confident in their own qualifications chose to give up, but there were still several people who gritted their teeth and chose the Taishang Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra as their main practice.
Tao Tu was smart and asked San Yunzi directly: "Uncle Master, can you tell me which of the exercises here is the easiest to practice successfully and can give you the longest lifespan?"
Sanyunzi smiled when he heard the words and pointed to a bookshelf: "That must be the Qingmu Immortality Technique. Although after practicing this technique, both magical powers and skills are so poor that it is unsightly, but only 'simple, longevity'"
There is absolutely no problem with these two points! Disciples who practice it are not only easy to achieve, but at the same level, their longevity is at least half that of ordinary monks!"
Tao Tu immediately became energetic and went straight to the "Green Wood Secret of Immortality".
After being inspired by him, the disciples asked San Yunzi for advice one after another and put forward their own goals. San Yunzi was indeed the senior who guarded the library. He was familiar with the various exercises here and could answer any questions.
Give a good reference answer.
After a while, everyone except Wu Jie chose their main exercises. As expected, the majority of them were the Ethereal Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra. The rest of the exercises were similar, and none were particularly outstanding.
Wu Jie watched everyone choose their major exercises, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He originally wanted to choose Taishang Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra like Luo Yu, but Jasmine dissuaded him in his heart.
"Master! I'm afraid this technique is not suitable for your temperament!"
"Ah? Why do you say that?"
"Didn't the Taoist just say that this method is the same as the theory of innocence? It must also require people to eliminate all kinds of desires and pursue their original intention. Master, you are definitely not the kind of person who can eliminate all kinds of desires. This method
It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to master the technique!”
"Do I look so rotten?"
"This has nothing to do with qualifications. Let me ask you, if you saw a vicious beast eating someone or a bully committing murder, would you be angry?"
"Of course I'll be angry!"
"That's it. I don't think you can get rid of this anger no matter what, so you probably won't be able to practice this technique!" Jasmine concluded with confidence, "Actually, this technique is really good.
It's meaningless. Why should people cultivate immortality while living in this world? Isn't it just to gain powerful power and then do whatever they want? When you see good things, you grab them, and when you see something you don't like, you kill them. Only then can you live like a human being!
Even if you have given up your desires, what is the difference between it and a stone?"
Wu Jie did not agree with her moral values, but he was persuaded by her and gave up the idea of practicing the Taishang Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra and turned to other things.
The problem is... he himself doesn't know what technique he wants to practice, so he can only wander through a large number of classics and read them one by one.
San Yunzi was not in a hurry, and neither were the other disciples - they were concentrating on studying the jade slips of the martial arts they had just received, and were too lazy to care about anything else, let alone Wu Jie looking for suitable scriptures here, even if he was here
If you do somersaults and spins, you will probably be ignored.
Wu Jie searched for a long time, and finally found a method on the bookshelf near the end that was more suitable for his taste, called "Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa".
This red book records a method of continuously improving fighting spirit and courage to burn the flame in the heart more and more. Eventually, the whole person turns into a ball of divine fire that reaches the sky, and can even resist without the help of any treasures.
Thunder Tribulation forcibly ascended.
Not only that, this martial art also boasts that "there are thousands of martial arts in the world, but among those who are directly aiming at the golden elixir path, if we are talking about fighting for supremacy and victory, I am the second best, who dares to claim the title!"
Wu Jie couldn't help but feel good about such a powerful and domineering technique. However, he did not make a hasty decision, but went to consult San Yunzi first.
"Oh... you are talking about this 'Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa'! This technique is said to have been passed down from the upper world, but it is different from other techniques. It is said that this technique is particularly good at by a group of people in the upper world.
Fighting skills were created by fighting gods who are keen on killing demons. There have been people in this sect who have practiced it in the past generations, but their achievements have never been very great... An ancestor who later ascended to Heaven once carefully studied the details and finally said, 'If you can't keep the righteousness in your chest,
If anger burns into a divine fire that destroys demons and exorcises evil spirits, then there is absolutely no possibility of cultivating this skill."
"Master nephew, think about it, among those who can cultivate the divine fire, who has already majored in martial arts? Many of them are already quite advanced. Who would be willing to give up their past practice and start over from scratch?"
When Wu Jie heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that this technique is perfect for me!"
As he spoke, he opened his palms, and a golden red pure Yang fire was burning silently in his palms.
