After some more greetings and mutual introductions, Yu Youquan finally got to know the elders of the Zheng family.
There are twenty-seven people in total, and they are all relatively old. Even the younger ones are basically middle-aged.
It can also be seen from this that the golden age of cultivation for practitioners is actually not long, and once the age is exceeded, the state will seriously decline.
This also explains why so much emphasis is placed on genius!
Human beings have their limits. Even as practitioners, it is difficult to break the destiny. They must rely on inheritance from generation to generation to break the curse of birth, old age, illness and death.
Seeing these old elders, Yu Youquan couldn't help but sigh.
The cultivation of this world is indeed a bit inferior in terms of longevity with heaven. It is just that we don’t know how high the cultivation level is to truly live forever in this world.
The Great Elder Zheng Yusheng, the second elder Zheng Hexuan, and the third elder Zheng Qingyun are all in the Zhuzhao realm, which is what the outside world calls "venerable".
The others are all in the realm of Shen Zang, that is, they are monks in the Three Realms.
The first elder and the second elder are very old and have obvious signs of aging. There is basically no possibility of making a breakthrough.
The third elder, Zheng Qingjun, is a woman whose real age is unknown. She is revered as "Zheng Xiangu" by the outside world. She looks like an old lady.
It stands to reason that his talent potential can continue to improve, but he was injured when he was young and his foundation was damaged, and he is currently stuck at a bottleneck and it is difficult to break through.
This also makes Zheng Xuancheng almost the only person in the Zheng family who has the potential to become a great practitioner in the wind-controlling realm!
Therefore, the rising star Zheng Xuancheng is the leader of the Zheng family.
After learning about the strength tree diagram of Zheng practitioners, Yu Youquan couldn't help but sigh, this strength is really terrifying.
There are actually twenty-four practitioners of the Third Realm on the surface. How many practitioners should there be of the Second Realm and the First Realm?
Not to mention the practitioners of the first level who have reached a profound level, they can easily defeat hundreds of armored warriors.
Then if the Zheng family had hundreds of first-level monks, wouldn't their combat effectiveness be comparable to tens of thousands of armored elites?
How many armored warriors can a country's finances support?
It’s really no joke that one family is against the other!
And the reason why the Zheng family is not yet a royal family, but only one of the four major families, can only show that the strength of the royal family and other families under the water is even more terrifying.
It’s no wonder that the inner world and the outer world are inseparable and distinct. Matters in the world of spiritual practice really need to be solved by practitioners.
If you really want to use thousands of armored warriors to kill one practitioner, you really don’t know whether it’s worth it or not?
After a brief greeting, many elders left one after another, and Master Zheng Xuancheng briefly introduced the Zheng family to Yu Youquan.
"With the seal given to you by the ancestor, you can basically enter and exit 99% of the inner courtyard of our Zheng family freely, but the most important places are actually the library, Jiangxiao Tower, Wanbao Pavilion, Light Training Platform... ..."
"The core of the library is placed with the collection of books from all dynasties of my Zheng family, including a subset of classics and history, astronomy and geography, architectural pharmacopoeia, anecdotes, travel notes and biographies, and even some exercises. It is basically open to all Zheng clan members. "
"The core of Jiangxiao Tower stores the profound secrets of cultivation of the Zheng family. If you want to exchange the secrets from it, you not only need treasure money, but also certain qualifications, such as defeating the puppet and completing the task."
"In Wanbao Pavilion, you can use treasure money to exchange for various treasures, including treasures, evil spirits, magic weapons, talismans, etc."
"Lianguangtai is an excellent training ground in Zheng's inner courtyard. There are some houses built on it. It is the most suitable place for breathing in the rising purple energy and the stars and moonlight to practice. For example, the "Golden Toad Watching the Moon and Swallowing Qi" you practice is here. The efficiency of practicing here can be at least three times improved...According to the rules, there is also a house for you on the training platform."
When Yu Youquan heard this, his eyes gradually brightened.
Zheng Xuancheng smiled and said, "The core of Zhuolong Mountain and Chaofeng Pavilion is the residence, which is also an excellent place for practice. The vitality of heaven and earth is extremely abundant. Zhuolong Mountain is mainly occupied by men, and Chaofeng Pavilion is the residence of women. You will soon There will be an exclusive small courtyard in Zhuolong Mountain, with about a dozen rooms."
A dozen rooms?
Yu Youquan's eyes widened.
Zheng Xuancheng smiled and said, "Not only will you live there, but you will also have servants to serve you. This is a coveted benefit for them... You can use it to win over and train your confidants!"
Yu Youquan nodded, it would be good if there were a few suitable people.
At least it would free him from the tedious chores and allow him to practice wholeheartedly.
Yu Youquan admitted that he had been corrupted by the evil old society and had shamefully betrayed his original class!
But it smells so good when it’s cooked!
There are more than 20 practitioners of the Three Realms on the surface of Zheng's family. Let him go to make revolution... What's the point of playing?
Half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a martyr.
Moreover, the level of education in this part of the world is very low. Education is basically monopolized by aristocratic families, and there is no soil for the imperial examination.
There are no poor families in the upper class, and there are no noble families in the lower class.
If we really want to make a revolution, the most we can do is change the dynasty on the basis of fighting for the family, but what we can do is actually very limited.
And this is actually a great evil. In the history of previous lives, the population was directly reduced by half every time the dynasty changed!
This is the so-called, it is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.
Seeing that Yu Youquan was quite satisfied, Zheng Xuancheng immediately relaxed and warned, "It is definitely more comfortable at home than outside, but you can't relax in your homework and practice."
"After you settle down, you will double your daily practice time. You will go to Xuedatang to study literature with other disciples on single days, and you will go to Qingweiling to study Taoism on even days... You will take a test every half a month as a teacher!"
Yu Youquan: "..."
Exam once every half month?
faint!
"yes."
Although Yu Youquan feels a little bitter, as an adult, he still has some self-control. After all, what he has learned is truly his own.
Zheng Xuancheng stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, it was unavoidable that I felt a little upset. If my son Zheng Shibai had this realization...it seems that he should be stricter with this kid Zheng Shibai!
Can an apprentice be a son?
Zheng Shibai, who was practicing, suddenly couldn't help but shuddered, and his back shone a little.
What's going on...Dad is back?
Next, Master Zheng Xuancheng focused on Yu Youquan's practice.
He first told Yu Youquan the key to the cultivation of the two realms of invincibility - Yin, six Yang and nine, the path to the ultimate in fifteen treasures.
Yu Youquan's eyes lit up, the master really knew.
Zheng Xuancheng said solemnly, "Your cultivation method is very special. Ancestor and I will help you prepare the treasure qi as soon as possible. I, Zheng, have the Five Elements Source Eye, and I will personally help you smelt the five best five elements treasure qi." , the ancestor will also help you collect some top-quality treasures, and as for the rest, you can only find a way to exchange it with other aristocratic families..."
"Thank you so much, Master. I will never forget your great kindness and virtue."
Yu Youquan bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude.
This alone would cost Master and Patriarch Zheng a lot of effort. During this journey, Yu Youquan also understood how precious it was to exchange for a top-quality treasure.
Not only is it very expensive, but the most important thing is to have channels, otherwise it will be impossible to exchange.
Zheng Xuancheng smiled and said, "You don't need to be outsiders, Ju Li. You are my disciple and the inheritance and continuation of my Dao will. It is also necessary to train you!"
Warmth surged in Yu Youquan's heart.
Later, Master planned some further paths for him to practice.
"You will definitely not be able to collect all the treasures in a short period of time. In terms of swordsmanship, the "Cloud-turning Rain Sword" is enough for you to understand the sword's intention. There is no need to exchange it for the time being."
"I suggest you redeem a copy of "Douxu Bu". This is a very clever body technique of my Zheng family. The core concept is the integration of body and qi, and the use of body techniques and treasure qi together."
"For example, flames jump, walk on water, live in trees, walk through walls through space, invert the air body, etc."
"Normal exchange requires about three thousand treasure jars of money, but if your talent is recognized and you are treated the same as the Four Worlds and Three Heroes, you can purchase it at a 30% discount. Nine hundred treasure jars of money is enough."
"yes."
"In addition, you need to redeem a copy of "Nine Volumes of Qi Control". This is the core Qi refining and Qi Control method of my Zheng family. It can make you make rapid progress in Qi Control. It is very precious. The complete exchange requires about five thousand treasures. You need to pay fifteen hundred treasures."
"yes."
"The last book I recommend you to redeem is not a practice method, but it is also a must-read book for all the children of my Zheng family. It is called "Summary of Essays of the Ancestors of the Zheng Family"."
Ancestor essay summary?
Similar to the "Huang Ming Ancestors" and "Zeng Guofan Family Letters", admonitions written specifically for future generations?
This should be regarded as the Kirin Zheng family's version of thinking in another world!
Yu Youquan immediately corrected his attitude and said, "Yes, the apprentice must read it carefully and deeply study and understand the advanced thoughts and spirit of the ancestors of the Zheng family in the past dynasties."
Zheng Xuancheng laughed dumbly and said, "No need, no need. This book is mostly about what the ancestors of the Zheng family have seen over the generations. Many of them are summaries of practice and exploration of secret realms. Reading more may help increase your knowledge."
Although the master said this, Yu Youquan could still feel his happiness.
This is normal!
The highest level of empathy, isn’t it the sharing of like-minded ideas?
The atmosphere of the subsequent conversation became more and more pleasant, and finally Zheng Xuancheng asked Yu Youquan to go with him to see his wife in the evening.
Yu Youquan immediately understood and hurriedly agreed.
