The scorching sun above our heads could not penetrate the layers of dense forest below.
Wang Dalu's whole body was completely soaked. Several square stones about the size of a foot stood quietly in front of him. Two of them had been stacked on top of each other, and there were four or five stones of the same size scattered next to them.
When Ran Guang first took these stones, Wang Dalu still had doubts. When Ran Guang explained the purpose of these stones, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Ran Guang actually asked Wang Dalu to try to use the vitality in his body to stack these stones one by one.
If he was asked to use his vitality to break these stones or even break them into powder, Wang Dalu wouldn't even frown. But if he was asked to use his vitality to lift the stone and then gently place it on top of another stone, it would be very difficult.
Just imagine.
It took Wang Dalu for four or five days to release more than half a foot of energy from his body, and to condense it into shape. He carefully held the stone.
After practicing for more than a hundred times, he was finally able to stack two stones today. However, when he stacked the third stone, he was a little unable to do it. He tried many times without success.
Ran Guang on the side saw it and said to Wang Dalu.
"Boy Wang, I have seen your progress in the past few days. To be honest, you are really born to practice. In a few more months, I believe you will be able to understand all these basic skills. Then you will be able to
Let me learn the real three cloud steps with you."
While Wang Dalu was grinning, he kept trying to control the out-of-body energy to condense and not disperse, and continued to repeat the superimposed action of lifting rocks.
After practicing like this day after day, Ran Guang drank more than twenty gourds of wine, and Wang Dalu finally mastered the first level of Yunbu's technique.
Back then, Ran Guang had been in seclusion in the mountains for ten years before he achieved anything. Compared with Wang Dalu, there was indeed a big gap.
After practicing the first level of Cloud Steps, Ran Guang said that he had something to do and came back to teach Wang Dalu the next day to learn the second level of Cloud Steps, the Three Cloud Steps.
Wang Dalu saw that Ran Guang's face was a little solemn and did not mean to shirk. He vaguely guessed something in his heart, so he agreed and practiced stacking stones alone in the forest.
Now there were about seven three- to four-inch square stones piled up in front of him.
In the past month of practice, the stones in front of him have become smaller and lighter, but the control of out-of-body vitality has become increasingly demanding.
Continuous practice, coupled with Ran Guang's careful guidance and a lot of Ran Guang's own current insights, gave Wang Dalu so much inspiration that he learned the first level of Yunbu in such a short period of time.
tactic.
While Wang Dalu insisted on practicing Cloud Step, Ran Guang was sitting in a cave in Lingfeng.
This cave was opened by Yu Cang, the former head of the Daochi Sect. There are several stone rooms in the cave that are spacious and extremely bright, like daylight.
There are four people sitting in meditation in this cave.
Sitting at the top are Yu Cang and Du Chun, the two supreme elders of the Daochi Sect, as well as the current heads Ran Yu and Ran Guang sitting at the bottom.
As the master of Ran Yu and Ran Guang, Yu Cang looked at the two apprentices in front of him with sincere relief.
The young disciple Ran Yu was smart and wise, and managed the Dao Chi Sect to become more and more prosperous.
Although the eldest disciple Ran Guang has no interest in worldly affairs, he has amazing abilities and extremely talented cultivation. In another ten years, he will be able to add a new great monk to the sect.
Yu Cang glanced at Du Chun beside him, and saw that Du Chun was silent on the side, seemingly closing his eyes to rest, and said to Ran Guang.
"I heard your Uncle Du mention that you have been very close to a young man named Wang Gui from outside recently. They often drink and eat meat together. What's more, you even use Taoism to cover the eastern mountain forest in order to capture the cold light beast.
no?"
Ran Guang replied respectfully.
"I'm telling you, Master, that something has happened. My disciple and Wang Gui hit it off immediately, and they both like to drink wine and eat meat, so we can't help but cherish each other."
"Cherishing each other? What a great sympathy. Just for this reason, you would not hesitate to pass on the skills you created to outsiders?"
Ran Guang was a little embarrassed by what his master said.
Yu Cang couldn't help but increase his tone and spoke again.
"Tell me, how many benefits did that Wang Gui give you to make you do this?"
Ran Yu, who was standing aside, saw that Yu Cang seemed really angry and said hurriedly.
"Master, please calm down. Senior brother Ran Guang is an honest man who loves wine and meat. He has few close friends in the sect. This Wang Gui's temperament is just right for senior brother, so he will inevitably do something outrageous. Fortunately, senior brother did not put Yun Bu's
Give Professor Shi Zhan to that Wang Gui. Master, please don’t be angry and spare my senior brother’s recklessness.”
After hearing Ran Yu's words, Yu Cang said to Du Chun.
"Junior Brother Du, what do you mean?"
Du Chun then opened a pair of clear eyes and replied with a smile.
"Senior Nephew Ran Guang is Senior Brother Yucang's disciple. You can make the decision. But there was some dispute between my disciple and Wang Gui, so he asked me to bring Wang Gui to the mountain. Wang Gui said that the origin is not trivial.
I don’t fully believe him, I’m just waiting for the forces behind him to come into contact with our Dao Chi Sect, and then we’ll tell you how to deal with this person.”
Du Chun then looked at Ran Guangdao again.
"Everyone in our sect knows about Master Nephew Ran Guang's cultivation skills, and the Cloud Step he created is even more famous for its strangeness. Some time ago, I asked for it for my useless disciple, but I never expected that Master Nephew Ran Guang would hand it over to someone of unknown origin.
Wang Gui. I was afraid that he would fall into Wang Gui’s scheme by mistake, so I told Senior Brother Yu Cang about this.”
After hearing this, Yu Cang just said "Oh" without saying anything more, and said to Ran Guang.
"You heard everything. Do you know what to do?"
Ran Guang said with a smile.
"My disciple knows that Master and Uncle Du are doing it for my own good. I know what I am doing. Although Wang Gui does not know his origin, I am sure that he is a man who knows how to repay kindness and will repay his kindness. Disciple
My son teaching him Cloud Step does not mean that I have insulted the skill I created. Perhaps one day in the future this skill will become famous in Wuhuang because of my son."
Seeing that Ran Guang wanted to talk more, Ran Yu walked up to Ran Guang and gently pulled Ran Guang, signaling him to stop.
Yu Cang didn't say anything after hearing this, but Du Chun on the side was already furious and said something.
"Okay, Junior Nephew Ran Guang has really not wasted the hundreds of years of cultivation of our Dao Chi Sect, and handed over a hundred years of hard work to outsiders to carry forward!"
Ran Guang was not afraid of Du Chun's sarcasm and angry look, and bowed to his master.
"Everything my disciple has done is for the sect, and we will definitely find out in the future."
The leader still didn't speak, just thinking there.
Du Chun said again.
"Senior Nephew Ran Guang is preaching that Wang Gui practices Cloud Step for the sake of the sect? Haha, it's really a joke. He thinks that Senior Brother Yucang and I are three-year-old naughty boys. Humph!"
Yu Cang said to Du Chun.
"Junior Brother Du, please don't be angry. It has been more than three hundred years since I brought this disciple to the mountain since he was a child. As a master, he also knows a thing or two about his nature. He will never do anything that harms the sect."
Yu Cang said again to Ran Yu who was holding Ran Guang.
"Let him finish."
Ran Yu had no choice but to take a step back.
Ran Guang continued.
"As my disciple said, Wang Gui is grateful but also holds grudges. Junior brother Qin's family held a grudge because Wang Gui was blocking the weak and involved our Daochi Sect. This is a ridiculous thing in the first place. Disciple thinks that Wang Gui
His origins are definitely not small. Even if we don’t mention his identity and origins and only talk about his talent for cultivation, he will not be a fish in the pond in the future. Although I teach him the skills without the name of master and disciple, he has the actual status of master and disciple. If the time comes,
If he really brings trouble to our Dao Chi Sect, he will think twice about it."
Du Chun couldn't help but became furious after hearing this and crushed the sapphire flower cup in his hand.
Yu Cang said to Ran Guang and Ran Yu's two disciples.
"You all should go out. I have a few words to say to your Uncle Du."
Ran Guang and Ran Yu responded.
"yes!"
Du Chun watched Ran Guang leave helplessly, knowing that Yu Cang intended to favor his disciple, but he could not do it.
Although he and Yu Cang are both supreme elders of the sect, Yu Cang became a great monk earlier than him and has more qualifications. Behind him, there is the supreme elder Yuntian, an ancestor, who supports him. He cannot
Offended too much.
Seeing Du Chun's unhappy face, Yu Cang persuaded him.
"Junior Brother Du, let the disciples do their own thing. As elders, we should not interfere too much. My disciple's practice is getting more and more advanced, and he is about to sit on the same level as you and me. Even Patriarch Yun is not interested in him.
Highly praised."
As soon as Ran Yu and Ran Guang walked out of his master's cave a dozen feet away, they said to Ran Guang.
"Senior brother, you are so confused. Why did you offend Uncle Du for an outsider?"
Ran Guang picked up the wine gourd on his waist and took a swig of it.
"Junior brother, you just like to be a peacemaker, looking ahead and looking after things to satisfy everyone. But you don't know that there are some things that you can't delay. Uncle Du put the sect in danger for his disciples. Although I am a junior,
You can’t reprimand him face to face, but you can’t agree with him either.”
"Senior brother, is Wang Gui really so great?"
Ran Guang remembered Wang Dalu's experience of practicing his Cloud Step again, and couldn't help but say something.
