After hearing what Mr. Wu Yun said, Chen Chaoyan was obviously stunned.
After a slight hesitation, she asked in a low voice: "Senior, is this choice also a test? A test of mind, will, or something..."
Zhang Dongyun almost laughed when he heard this.
This is indeed someone else's attempt to add some twists and turns to Chen Chaoyan's path of seeking the truth.
However, no matter what the poor little girl chooses, it does not affect the final result.
Regarding Chen Chaoyan's question, Zhang Dongyun, who transformed into Mr. Wuyun, did not answer, but just looked at the other person with a half-smile.
Chen Chaoyan scratched his head: "Then please help me, senior. I want to try your Majesty's place."
"very good."
The old man in black got up and walked out of the door.
The black clouds dispersed, swept the two of them together, and then landed outside the gate of Daming Palace.
Zhang Dongyun sang the oboe in style.
The projection of Mr. Wu Yun saluted respectfully outside the palace:
"Your Majesty, there is a daughter in the Chen family who is very talented and has good qualifications. She is very suitable for Taoist practice. Please give me advice from Chang'an.
I don't dare to be expert in it, so I would like to ask His Majesty to judge it."
Chen Chaoyan followed Lao Lao and stayed outside the palace gate, waiting for the mysterious Majesty to decide his fate.
Suddenly, her eyes went dark.
Can't see anything.
No sound can be heard.
Can't touch anything.
Moving forward and backward, everything is empty.
"This is a test of whether I can calm down?" The girl said to herself without panicking.
Then she realized that she couldn't even hear her own voice.
The extremely quiet and dark environment can almost drive people crazy.
But Chen Chaoyan was very safe.
She was not in a hurry and waited for a while, but she did not hear the instructions from the Lord of Chang'an City and Mr. Wu Yun.
So the girl simply followed her own temperament and sat cross-legged calmly.
In this darkness, Chen Chaoyan was not sure whether the speed of time passing was consistent with the outside world.
She calculated in her mind and got up again after about half an hour.
The girl moved her body and then practiced boxing by herself in the dark.
Although she is not suitable for practicing martial arts and is planning to switch to Taoism, at the moment she has not read Taoism and only knows a few martial arts taught by her family, so she just practices martial arts to kill time.
Practice martial arts for half an hour, and then meditate and adjust your breath for half an hour.
This cycle goes on and on, and time flies by.
Chen Chaoyan's temperament has always been peaceful and contented.
In the end, she even fell asleep peacefully.
When she woke up, the girl stretched and touched her belly.
I don't feel hungry...
That is to say, the flow of time here is different from reality.
In reality, after such a long time, she was so hungry that her heart was so hungry...
When she thought of this, the girl suddenly felt fluid on the bottom of her tongue.
I'm not hungry but I'm hungry, my glutton is aroused.
Just as her thoughts turned to this point, her eyes suddenly lit up.
As if to verify that everything just now was an illusion, Chen Chaoyan's eyes did not need to adapt to the changes in light and darkness at this moment.
She found that she was no longer outside the Daming Palace, but inside a palace with simple furnishings but grandeur.
Mr. Wu Yun still stood aside respectfully.
On the throne above, there is a figure sitting upright.
The other person's face seemed to be shrouded in light, making it difficult to see clearly.
His hands are folded together in front of him, with the ring finger and little finger interlocked, and the tips of the middle finger, index finger, and thumb facing each other.
"Alright."
A vague and majestic voice sounded.
Chen Chaoyan came back to his senses, his whole body was filled with excitement, and he quickly bowed down:
"List……"
She habitually calls herself a descendant of the Chen family, but as soon as she says the word, she suddenly changes her mind:
"...Chen Chaoyan, a citizen of Chang'an, comes to see His Majesty!"
The figure above said calmly: "Get up."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked down at her toes.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a warmth coming in front of her.
Chen Chaoyan boldly raised his head.
Then she saw a Taoist scroll floating in the air in front of her, with the six characters "Shangqing Shenxiao Baolu" written on it.
"Wuyun, on weekdays, you are responsible for guiding her in her practice. I will check her once a month."
"I sincerely obey His Majesty's decree." Mr. Wu Yun replied hurriedly.
Chen Chaoyan was overjoyed and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Although I don’t know how powerful this "Shangqing Shenxiao Baolu" is, the Taoist canon given by the Lord of Chang'an City must be extraordinary, right?
"Go." The figure above said.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Chaoyan found himself back outside Daming Palace again.
"Shangqing Shenxiao Baolu" is held in his arms.
Mr. Wuyun on the side said quietly: "The law is not taught lightly, and it cannot be seen by anyone except you. Do you understand?"
Mr. Wu Yun nodded: "You are very careful. If you fail to pass His Majesty's test in one month, Your Majesty will take back the first volume of "Shangqing Shenxiao Baolu"."
The girl hugged the Tao scroll and replied happily: "Juniors must work hard and never be lazy."
"Very good." Mr. Wuyun nodded slightly: "If your practice progresses quickly enough, His Majesty will naturally give you the next few volumes of Taoist canon later."
Chen Chaoyan saluted the old man in black: "I have to trouble my seniors to teach me more. I will be very grateful to you."
"Your Majesty has given orders, and I will give you careful advice. You have earned it through trials, and there is no need to thank you."
Mr. Wu Yun said calmly: "After His Majesty's inspection every month, you have the opportunity to seek advice from His Majesty. This is both a test and an opportunity for you. You must prepare well and cherish it. Do you understand?"
Chen Chaoyan took a deep breath: "Junior understands. Thank you senior for your advice."
She was so excited that she held the Dao scroll in her hands and was eager to try it. She couldn't wait to read it immediately.
After she returned home, the Chen family members were even more happy when they heard what happened.
This not only prevented Chen Chaoyan, a Taoist genius, from being buried, but it also meant that someone from the Chen family had successfully approached the center of Chang'an.
While Chen Chaoyan was happy for her family, she also felt that the movie "Shangqing Shenxiao Baolu" was very attractive to her.
Facts have proved that she is really like a fish in water when she practices Taoist methods.
When I first started, I still needed to ask Mr. Wu Yun for advice from time to time.
Later, she directly held Daozang in her arms to comprehend it, and her practice progressed rapidly.
Contrary to the first level of martial arts, physical training, the first level of Taoist practice is called "induction".
It mainly senses the flow of one's own essence and senses the flow of external natural aura.
This pass is the foundation of Taoist practice.
Those who are not suitable for spiritual practice will not be able to enter for the rest of their lives.
It is suitable for practitioners. After some guidance, you can gain something quickly.
Chen Chaoyan, on the other hand, was almost born to transcend this realm.
She had never had this thought before.
Now that I have officially embarked on Taoist practice, as soon as I thought about it, this level was achieved directly as if I were walking on flat ground.
However, compared to the first level of martial arts, which can be clearly judged by improving one's own energy, strength, speed, and reaction, the first level of Taoist practice is more mysterious.
If you are fighting with someone, compared to ordinary people, your five senses will be more sensitive.
But there are few improvements in other aspects. In terms of combat methods, Taoist practitioners in the first realm are still unable to cast spells.
They are also unable to refine their own weapons and talismans, and can only reluctantly control other people's low-level magic weapons or talismans.
When reaching the second realm, the realm of Qi transformation, Taoist practitioners have slightly changed their views on actual combat.
Taoist practitioners at this level can make their own talismans and seal spells in talismans in advance for use in battle.
More importantly, the senses are more sensitive, and one can look inside one's body, see one's soul, refine one's spiritual energy, and breathe out spiritual energy to refine it into mana.
In comparison, the first level of Taoist practice is more like a threshold for selection, and the second level is the real entry point.
Chen Chaoyan broke through this realm very quickly.
Chunyang Immortal Soul has indeed unique advantages in Taoist practice.
Basically comparable to the advantages of spiritual stone and jade embryos in martial arts practice... Zhang Dongyun, who was observing from the side, nodded secretly.
The next step Chen Chaoyan has to face is the third level of Taoism, foundation building.
When you reach this level, you can borrow the magic of heaven and earth, mobilize spiritual energy with magic power, cast spells by yourself, and refine magic weapons by yourself.
The disciple of Wangzhen Guan who was captured by the three Hanshan sect before was in this state.
Further up, the fourth realm of Taoism is the cauldron.
At this stage, the practitioner begins to prepare for elixir formation.
The soul of a practitioner in this realm is condensed and can temporarily leave the body.
At the same time, the magic power increases, and the person can ride on the fog and glide in the air for a short time. Although the principle is different, the appearance is similar to the fourth level of martial arts.
And Xie Zhao, the first successor of Wangzhen Guan, was at the fifth level of Taoist practice, the cultivation of golden elixir.
By forming a golden elixir, the magic power is further increased and highly condensed.
At this state, Taoist practitioners can ride on the mist, soar into the clouds, and fly freely in the air like martial arts generals.
The straight-line speed may not be as violent and fast as that of the Flying General, but the ups and downs and turns are more agile and free.
The soul of a Taoist practitioner in the cauldron realm leaves the body, but the soul moves spiritually. After leaving the body, it can be used for practice, but it cannot stay away from the physical body and cannot cast spells.
Practitioners in the fifth realm form a golden elixir and hide it in their soul, which can make the soul more condensed. After leaving the body, they can not only travel far away from the body, but also cast spells with their soul.
Casting spells directly with the soul is more powerful, and it is faster and more convenient to mobilize natural aura, but without physical protection, the soul is also more vulnerable to injury.
Therefore, most of the time, Xie Zhao and other fifth-level Taoist monks' souls leaving the body are only used for training and will not directly fight the enemy.
When Xie Zhao wanted to break out of the city, if he had left his body to perform the Nightmare True Technique, the old man from the Chen family who was in the fifth level of martial arts who stopped him would have been in trouble, and he might have suppressed his mind on the spot.
But conversely, the opponent's martial arts power, which is as masculine as a furnace, may directly destroy Xie Zhao's soul with one palm.
Zhang Dongyun quietly observed Chen Chaoyan's practice and had a clear insight into his progress.
Through the process of giving guidance to others, Zhang Dongyun also gained a deeper understanding of Taoist practice, and slowly turned the system's blessing to his own understanding.
On the other hand, he refocused on his martial arts practice.
During this period, most of my energy was focused on city construction, and I somewhat slowed down my own practice.
Now that the city's development is gradually on the right track, Lord Zhang D has begun to focus on his own practice again.
After a few days like this, Zhang Dongyun, who was practicing, suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart.
Another group of people approached Chang'an.
The leader among them is a familiar face.
Wu Qiong, the elder of the Perak Sect, led several members of the Perak Sect, stopped at the city gate, and saluted respectfully:
"Pili Zong Wu Qiong, please see the Lord of Chang'an City and Mr. Wu Yun."
Zhang Dongyun was sitting in the Daming Palace, raising his eyebrows slightly:
