"Don't worry, Master Zhou. I'll chat with Zhao Xiaoyou alone for a while."
As he spoke, Lu Yuanxiu glanced at Zhao Lin, strode back to the Spiritual Dao Courtyard, randomly selected a quiet room, opened the door and walked in.
Zhao Lin was not in a hurry to follow, but saluted Master Zhou and Elder Nie and said, "Master Zhou, elder."
"Go ahead, it's a rare opportunity."
Zhou Hongfang nodded and said with a smile, thinking that this disciple would practice hard and handle things properly, and he might become a great person in less than twenty years.
"yes."
Zhao Lin agreed and quickly walked into the quiet room.
"sit down."
Lu Yuanxiu sat down in the middle with a golden sword, stretched out his hand to motion for Zhao Lin to sit over, and said: "I have been out of state for the past two years and rarely come back. I didn't expect that another martial arts cultivator would come out of Lingdao Academy."
"Let's talk about the current situation of the sect."
Zhao Lin knew that the sect Lu Yuanxiu was referring to was the Xingyun Sect in the mortal world. He pondered for a while and explained the current situation of Dayue and Xingyun Sect.
"Suppressed the four-term leader?"
When he heard that Zhao Lin had won the title of four consecutive martial arts tournaments, Lu Yuanxiu couldn't help but take a breath with an unbelievable look on his face.
However, he also knew that Zhao Lin could not deceive him about this matter, and he couldn't help but sigh: "There are really talented people in this country! I won two terms of leadership back then, and I have always been proud of it. I didn't expect you to turn over." times."
"Such a feat is not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented."
Zhao Lin said modestly: "Senior has given me too much praise. In fact, this disciple's achievement is also due to the legacy of his predecessor."
Lu Yuanxiu was slightly startled, "How do you say my legacy?"
Zhao Lin stood up, took a few steps back, and struck out with a Sky Frost Fist.
The force of the fist was cold and cold, arousing a stream of cold white smoke.
This fist was created by Lu Yuanxiu, and Zhao Lin intentionally used it in front of him. Lu Yuanxiu's eyes lit up, he touched his palms and praised: "Good boxing technique!"
As soon as this punch came out, the distance between the two people was narrowed again. Lu Yuanxiu was also a temperamental person and directly took Zhao Lin's arm and asked him to sit next to him.
"How did you reach Wuzong? Tell me the details."
"yes."
Zhao Lin sorted out his thoughts and recounted his entire journey from joining the Liuhe Sect in Qinghe County to entering the Xingyun Sect, cultivating to the Blood Realm, participating in the martial arts competition, and breaking through to become the Martial Sect.
"You're very good, and I like you very much."
After hearing this, Lu Yuanxiu's eyes flashed with approval, "You should practice well in Lingdao Academy. When your training period is over, you can come to Wangdong County to find me."
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhao Lin was overjoyed. There were seven counties in Nanhe Prefecture, and Wangdong County was the largest among them. It was also the capital of the state. Being able to serve there had a much higher starting point than other counties.
"There are very few martial arts cultivators in the sect, so we should take care of each other."
Lu Yuanxiu said casually, and then changed the topic, "Martial arts cultivators are unique among monks. Tell me about your understanding of martial arts cultivators and how to plan your own path of cultivation."
Zhao Lin knew that this was a test for himself, and his heart tightened. Fortunately, he had been thinking about how to practice, and he had a rough idea.
"Senior Hui Lu, I think the biggest difference between martial arts cultivation and legal cultivation lies in the order of cultivation. Legal cultivation only cuts off the hair and cleanses the marrow after breaking through to foundation building, while martial arts cultivation has completed it before opening the veins."
"So martial arts practitioners are full of energy and blood, their meridians and spiritual apertures are wide and strong, and they can hold more spiritual energy."
"The advantage lies in close combat, and in the same realm, our magic power is stronger."
Lu Yuanxiu nodded, "This is an advantage, what about the disadvantages?"
Zhao Lin continued: "The disadvantage is that the meridians and acupoints are solidified, making it difficult to break through the realm."
"This is one, and another disadvantage is age. Most Dharma cultivators enter the sect around the age of fifteen, and our martial arts cultivators are more than twice as old as them. We cannot practice step by step like them, and we must speed up. "
Lu Yuanxiu nodded, "It seems that you have really thought about it deeply."
"That's right. We, the martial arts cultivators, have overcome obstacles all the way to the martial arts sect in the mortal world, but in the end we have to stand at the same starting point as these children, and the difficulty of cultivation is also higher."
"You just said that you must speed up your practice. How can you speed up your practice?"
Zhao Lin thought for a while and replied: "Practice Taoist arts, earn good deeds with elixirs, and at the same time take on more sect tasks and get additional rewards."
Lu Yuanxiu frowned slightly, "The direction is right, but it's too general. How many good deeds can you earn from Taoist art? By the way, what Taoist art did you choose?"
Zhao Lin said: "Formation."
Lu Yuanxiu was noncommittal, "The formation is good. Do you know which Taoist art I chose back then?"
"Junior doesn't know."
"I didn't choose any art!"
Zhao Lin was greatly surprised and didn't know what to say.
Lu Yuanxiu smiled slightly, "Taoist arts are optional but not required. Why do you have to practice them?"
"In the Qi refining stage, you don't have much money, so you use it all to practice and earn good deeds, and then use your good deeds to exchange for precious elixirs. This method may seem radical, but it is the most suitable path for martial arts."
"When you reach the foundation-building realm, your lifespan is doubled, and you have plenty of time to practice Taoism."
"Of course, the sect's arrangement has its own reasons, but it may not be suitable for everyone. We are martial arts cultivators and we don't have so much time to waste."
After hearing this, Zhao Lin felt like he was enlightened. He still wanted stability too much. In fact, he had vaguely thought about this path, but it was not clear. Lu Yuanxiu clarified the matter in a few words.
Lu Yuanxiu stretched out his palm and said, "Bring me your jade slips."
Jade slips are important things, Zhao Lin always carries them with him, and he took out two jade slips, one red and one green.
The red jade slip is the body-illuminating stone, which is equivalent to the monk's archives. The important events of the monk in the sect are recorded in it.
The blue jade slips were for personal recording, and Zhao Lin only recorded some practice experiences in them.
Lu Yuanxiu picked up the body-illuminating stone, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and said with some surprise: "You have one hundred and sixty good deeds, why don't you use them?"
Zhao Lin said: "This junior wants to save for a while..."
"inappropriate!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuanxiu interrupted directly: "Your cultivation is not high now, and you accumulate good deeds very slowly. It will become less and less valuable in the future."
"Because as your cultivation level improves, it becomes easier for you to obtain good deeds."
"For example, you are a clerk who earns twenty coppers a month. In order to save money, you are not willing to give up food or clothing, and you have been living a hard life."
"Ten years later, you have become a big boss, or even a shopkeeper, earning five taels of silver a month. I want to ask, is the hundred and ten copper coins you saved at the beginning meaningful?"
"It's better to use it to do things and learn skills. Even if you can't afford to buy meat, you can still get a good body."
"What I'm talking about is truth. The world may not be like this, but you must take a long-term view in practice."
Having said this, he paused and said meaningfully: "Good deeds are only good if they are used!"
"Otherwise, even if you have accumulated 10,000 good deeds, you are nearly fifty and your cultivation is still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. What's the use of getting the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
