For example, Mr. Fei, who has cultivated his external incarnation, is at least in the middle stage of returning to the spirit. His understanding of Taoism has already transcended the realm of returning to the spirit. If it were not suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth, he would have already achieved the goal of refining the void. Even Zhu Xianning also has the ability to control the spirit. An outstanding strength in Fengjing.
"It seems that my thinking is really too narrow. Rather than restricting the alchemist, it is better to test the alchemist. No wonder every successful alchemist is a very important figure in any sect."
The young master smiled bitterly.
"The growth of the alchemist is one step ahead, and the resistance will be greater. This is exactly in line with the way of heaven and earth."
Looking at Qingyun's thoughtful expression, Zhu Xianning smiled slightly and concluded.
"Thank you Master Zhu for your advice."
The young man also offered tea instead of wine and made a toast.
"Haha, I just hope that you will have a more comprehensive understanding and knowledge of alchemy from different angles and levels, and live a wonderful life for the sect and yourself in the near future."
The two nodded solemnly.
Different from the taciturn nature of Long Fu's poems, Qingyun and Zhu Xianning chatted about a wide range of topics, from spiritual practice to alchemy, to the entire political situation and external policies of Zhijing Dongtian.
What surprised him was that even though this guy looked middle-aged, the "fire" in his heart was burning brightly like the rising sun.
Alchemist Zhu is not only extremely dissatisfied with many of the current policies within the sect, but also criticizes them.
In particular, the sect turned Jiangyundong, a holy place that benefited the people and popularized alchemy, into a tool for openly collecting money. He was extremely contemptuous and criticized, which made the young man curse.
Xindao will definitely say something more in front of Feng Yuexian in the future, so that his father, Feng Yuanjun, can draw Zhu Xianning into the young team of the totalitarian faction.
"No wonder he wanted to lower his sense of presence just now. His feelings are afraid that walls have ears!"
She and Long Fushi looked at each other quietly, and both of them understood.
Later, I don’t know what they talked about, but the topic returned to taking pills and cultivating one’s realm. This made Qingyun’s heart move again, and he tried to ask:
"Master Zhu, Qingyun has a close... friend... who has been trapped in the Concentration Realm many years ago and cannot move forward. Now his life is about to end. If there is no way to move forward, he will die soon... You look…"
The friend Qingyun talks about is naturally Li Guan, the ancestor of the Li family of the Bamboo and Stone Sword Sect.
"Haha, you want to ask me if I have a pill to break through the realm?"
The young man was speechless and found that whenever he asked Zhu Xianning for help, instead of getting bored, the old boy seemed to be particularly happy.
"Ha... Qingyun is brave."
"Um…"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Xianning slowly put away his smile, which made Qingyun look more serious.
At his level, he has never come across any panacea that can allow people to break through the realm.
"You can say yes, you can say no."
"Made, here we go again."
I could tell from Long Fushi's slightly trembling veil that she had often complained about Zhu Xianning as crazily as herself.
"You have practiced so far, and you should know that there is no shortcut on the road to enlightenment. Even if there is, it will be a narrow path, and you will eventually fall into a cliff."
The two looked at each other and nodded one after another.
"The journey of spiritual practice is full of water and stones. Only when you kick the door open can you truly step in. Otherwise, you will be tripped by the threshold due to your inability to follow up."
After a pause, Zhu Xianning continued:
"The reasons why everyone's realm stagnates are different, whether it is their state of mind, their skills, or their old physical injuries, etc."
"You mean, my friend doesn't necessarily need to take pills?"
A smile appeared on Zhu Xianning's face again, he nodded gently, and then said:
"In fact, any panacea focuses on the word 'auxiliary', rather than pulling out the seedlings to encourage growth. This is the true meaning of alchemy."
When the conversation changed, Zhu Xianning solemnly said:
"Taking top-quality elixirs can indeed increase your cultivation, but if you fish in the marsh and take risks, you will be doomed if you are not careful. I don't want you to choose this shortcut in the future, even once."
Speaking of this, Qingyun and Long Fushi both understood Zhu Xianning's good intentions, and once again understood why only low-level alchemy masters could so-called "immerse themselves in" the alchemy path and waste their cultivation.
To put it more appropriately, the so-called "weakness" of high-level alchemy masters mostly refers to combat experience. After all, they have followers to guard them almost all year round. However, compared with their realm and understanding, compared with monks of the same generation, they are Nothing less.
"So I don't recommend that your friend take pills in the hope of breaking through the realm. Even if you think of ways to extend your life and stabilize your mood, it's better than blindly seeking quick success."
Qingyun doesn't quite agree with Zhu Xianning's last words. After all, given Li Guan's situation, it may be difficult to break through even if his life span is extended for a hundred years, and "taking risks" may not be a bad thing.
Of course, he will definitely not ask for trouble now, which may also be related to the fact that he is still young.
"Where is your friend now?"
Hearing this, Qingyun perked up and said quickly:
"He is an old disciple of the Bamboo and Stone Sword Sect. He has helped me a lot in the past."
Zhu Xianning was stunned when he heard this, then raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:
"That'll be easier. I'll tell Shutong later and ask him to check on that person after he returns to the Bamboo and Stone Sword Sect. As long as it's not a problem with skill restrictions, he should be able to handle it completely."
"Brother Shutong? He can do it too?"
Qingyun blurted out subconsciously.
"What? You don't think he can do it?"
Zhu Xianning also had an incomprehensible expression.
"Uh... No, Master Zhu. I mean, Brother Shutong is in the same realm as my friend. Could it be..."
"Hahaha, you are looking down on our teacher Shutong too much."
After curling his lips again, Zhu Xianning came to his senses and said with a smile:
"Haha, under normal circumstances, ordinary alchemists can refine elixirs across major realms for use by seniors at a higher level. There are even some genius alchemists whose handwriting can span two major realms. Coupled with years of study, there are many alchemists. He also has good medical attainments, are you still afraid that Shutong can’t help him?”
With a cry, Qingyun looked embarrassed.
According to this, the elixirs that Shutong has refined with all his heart are enough for monks in the Wind Control Realm, and those in the Condensation Realm are naturally not a problem.
So Qingyun hurriedly clasped his fists in salute and thanked Zhu Xianning for his advice.
After asking for advice, I didn't find any other discoveries or insights about alchemy, but my understanding of the alchemist's status and "money-attracting" reached a whole new level.
"Made, it seems that I have to work as hard as composing poems. When I become the alchemy cauldron enshrined by a large sect of the Three Heavenly and Four Sects, it won't be a matter of minutes to get revenge?"
The young master secretly felt cruel in his heart.
The teachers and students chatted for nearly half an hour. Apart from a pot of green leaves, the three interested people did not ask for any more pastries. The boss had already glanced at them several times with cold eyes.
After all, the small business in this open-air event has the highest turnover rate. Drinking a pot of spiritual tea for half an hour is equivalent to him losing money every minute and every second. The boss's heart is literally gushing with blood.
While we were just chatting, Long Fu, who cherished his words like gold, suddenly said:
"Strange, there seem to be a lot less people here."
Hearing this, Qingyun and Zhu Xianning looked around at the same time, only to realize that the pergola that had been bustling with people just now seemed completely silent, which made the three people who had a thin presence become extremely conspicuous.
"Store, what's going on?"
The boss didn't recognize Zhu Xianning, but the eye-catching jade pot robe almost scared him into a cold sweat.
I thought to myself, when did such a great god come to my small temple? Why did I not notice it even though I had been staring at it for a long time?
At that moment, he quickly threw away what he was doing and said:
"Returning to this senior, there was a competition ahead, which attracted many comrades."
"Oh? Competition? What competition is so attractive? I remember that most of the places ahead are miscellaneous schools."
Zhu Xianning was also curious.
"Yes, I heard that there was a conflict between Qingxutian's disciples and Guizong's disciples, and then the venue was opened directly, and the two sides started fighting."
"Qingxutian? Humph, even if it's a mess at home, you actually dare to act rough on other people's territory when you come out. It's really hard to carve out rotten wood!"
Zhu Xianning sneered disdainfully, and Qingyun also nodded repeatedly.
Although the sect also invited Qingxutian to this heaven-reaching meeting, due to the increasingly fierce power struggle between Yun Youya and Qin Chengtian, Sect Leader Yun was even injured for the first time at the hands of Master Jian Qingfeng a few years ago, which directly led to The power of the sect leader was greatly suppressed, so until the start of this ascending meeting, Qingxu Tian was unable to appoint representatives to the meeting.
Finally, Qingyun heard that it seemed that they were only attending the meeting as disciples, and no one specifically represented the sect, which was very embarrassing.
Naturally, the young boss didn’t have the guts to make trouble in front of his seniors, but he still added in a matter-of-fact manner:
"This junior has heard from fellow Taoists who have passed by that it seems that it was not the disciples of Qingxutian who started the trouble, but..."
"Huh? Could it be that our students are bullying Qingxutian's disciples? Hahahaha, he has a lot of potential!"
Zhu Xianning stroked his beard and laughed, his face seemed to be quite glorious.
Qingyun was speechless.
"I heard that the troublemaker was just a follower of a Jiangyundong student, a female nun wearing a mask with a grimace and fangs..."
Speaking of this, Qingyun suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
"What? Say it again?!"
The owner of the pergola was immediately startled.
Not to mention, the young man in front of me looked gentle and handsome at first, but at second glance, he looked like an ancient ferocious beast, with a terrible evil hidden behind him.
"I mean…"
"Needless to say, it must be Sister Lian, let's go."
Long Fushi stood up decisively.
"Is it that girl Qinglian?"
At this time, Zhu Xianning also remembered that as one of the confidante of this boy Qingyun, the holy and breathtakingly beautiful Qinglian girl seemed to be wearing a mask with a ghost face and fangs.
In fact, Qingyun always felt that this mask was a bit ominous, and it often made him feel like he was being spied on.
However, this thing was obtained from Jiulong Lao, and Alian did not dare to throw it away casually, and it was very convenient to use, so the young master finally let her go.
"Well, Master Zhu, I want to go take a look first."
Qingyun said apologetically.
"It's okay, you go ahead. I'll wait here for Uncle Mu for a while. Maybe he will come."
"Thank you Master Zhu. Qingyun bids farewell."
"Write a poem to say goodbye."
The two of them saluted one after another, like a couple of gods and immortals.
Ding ding~: I just have some time recently, so try to code more every day~
