"Master, what Taoist technique do you think is best for me to learn first?"
"Every time you perform Qigong, your spiritual power can circulate in your body for a few days?"
"It was just a small week, and then when I tried to run it again, the spiritual power was cut off."
"Then you can't practice any Taoism now."
"oh……"
"Although Taoism mainly relies on inducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to exert its power, the practitioner must also have enough spiritual power in his body to activate the corresponding amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You can only move a small amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy that can be mobilized. , is not enough to complete any complete Taoist technique."
"Can't you even pass through walls?"
"Well, the spiritual energy you can induce now can probably let you, Lao Qi, pass through a head, so do you want to practice?"
"never mind."
...Master is indeed a cold-faced smiler...
"The most important thing you have to do now, Lao Qi, is to first increase the number of little Zhoutians you can transport. This is hard work and cannot be easily overcome by talent alone."
"First reach the thirty-sixth small week, and then the eighteenth day. When you can complete the exercise in one go, then you can try to advance to the first consciousness state."
"The so-called talent can make it easier for you to break through a realm, but there is no shortcut in the process between realms. It can only rely on perseverance and perseverance, and hard work every day."
"Master, I understand. How long did it take from the time you drew your energy to the first time we met?"
"Three years. Regarding the time required between realms, there is no difference between now and before. Even in the fourth, fifth, and sixth Yuanhui, there is not much change from now."
"However, the time it takes you from the time you draw your energy to the first time you know it should be shorter than the master's."
"Why, didn't you just say that there is no shortcut to this process?"
"Yes, this process has nothing to do with talent, but is related to the cultivation techniques. The more powerful and higher-grade the techniques will be, the shorter the process of accumulating spiritual power will be."
"What you are practicing to build your foundation and channel your energy is Lu Zu's Nine Turns of Pure Yang Technique. It is much higher grade than the Purple Thunder Technique that I have cultivated for my master. I estimate that you will be able to complete the Zhoutian Complete Gong in up to two years."
"So master, when can I start practicing Taoism?"
"Wait until you can complete three small Zhoutians in one go. The spiritual power cultivated by three small Zhoutians is almost the minimum requirement for basic Taoism. Then you can go to Daozang Pavilion and ask Master Qi to help you find it. Let’s start practicing some simple Tao techniques.”
"Okay, Master."
The day after experiencing the eucalyptus vase, Shu Guan excitedly went to find his master Li Zhixia, but unfortunately the result left him slightly disappointed.
After Li Zhixia gave him a general Taoist lesson, Shuguan returned to Banpianlou and began to retreat honestly.
There were no miracles during this retreat. After a month and a half, Shu Guan successfully carried three small Zhoutians in one go, but it was five days earlier than Li Zhixia expected.
Because in this month and a half, Shu Guan has not taken a step beyond half the building.
Shu Guan doesn't know where his spiritual talent comes from, but in terms of perseverance and perseverance, he still has some.
…
"Hello, Uncle Qi."
On a sunny morning, an old man like a rotten tree lay lazily on a chair outside Daozang Pavilion, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
Shu Guan walked up to him and called out respectfully.
The old man opened his eyes, and after seeing clearly the appearance of the gray-robed young Taoist priest in front of him, the old man showed a smile.
In the entire Shanjing Temple, Shu Guan is the only one who can make Master Qi smile even if he is disturbed while he is resting.
"So it's Lao Qi. Why, do you want to enter the Daozang Pavilion or the Treasure House today?"
"Uncle Qi, this disciple wants to enter the Daozang Pavilion and pick out a few basic Taoist techniques to practice."
"Oh, have you completed the transportation of three little Zhoutians?"
Uncle Qi slowly stood up from the recliner.
"Just finished it last night."
"As expected of Lu Zu's chosen successor, he is indeed a genius for completing the Three Weeks of Heaven so quickly. Okay, then you come with me."
Shu Guan felt a little embarrassed about the old man's unfounded compliment.
But Uncle Qi was already walking towards the door of Daozang Pavilion with staggering steps.
Shu Guan took a step forward and originally wanted to help Master Qi, but Master Qi pushed his hand away and shouted:
"No, I can leave by myself."
Uncle Qi, who was originally smiling, suddenly became a little angry.
As expected, he was the strange old man with a bad temper and moodiness in the eyes of all the disciples of Shanjingguan.
But at this moment, Shu Guan felt a little apologetic in his heart, because he knew that his seemingly well-meaning actions just now actually hurt an old man's self-esteem.
Then he silently followed Master Qi into the gate of Daozang Pavilion.
This is Shu Guan’s first time entering Daozang Pavilion after becoming an official disciple of Shan Ji Guan.
Upon entering, you can see that the Daozang Pavilion is divided into three floors, connected by stairs on the sides.
There are many wooden shelves on the first floor, and the shelves are filled with volumes of classics.
The second floor also has some wooden shelves, but the number is much smaller than the first floor, and the shelves are filled with wooden boxes.
As for the third floor, there was a row of small rooms. He glanced over and quickly counted, there were twelve rooms in total.
After entering Daozang Pavilion, Master Qi's expression softened a lot, and a smile appeared on his face again.
He pointed to the bookshelves on the first floor and introduced Shuguan:
"The classics on the first floor all record events in the previous cultivation world, but they are basically records after the third Yuanhui. As for the records of the first three Yuanhui, there are very few, mainly those wars in the Conferred God Era. , buried too many secrets from the prehistoric era."
"Lao Qi, when you have nothing to do in the future, you can look through these classics more often. Cultivation is not just about practice."
"Thank you, Master Qi, for your advice."
Then Uncle Qi held on to the handrail of the stairs and walked towards the second floor, with Shu Guan following behind him.
"The wooden boxes on these shelves contain our Shan Si Guan's Taoist scriptures."
Master Qi pointed to the shelves in the second row and said:
"We have observed, in addition to those Taoist traditions left by Master Duanyang, there are a total of thirty-two kinds of Taoism, including twenty-seven Taoisms in the Human Immortal Realm and five Taoisms in the Earth Immortal Realm."
"Based on the collection of Taoist scriptures, among the thirty-six Taoist temples in the world, our Shan Si Guan ranks ninth."
When he said this, Uncle Qi, who had wrinkles on his face and looked waning in his old age, sighed quietly.
"Actually, five hundred years ago, our Shan Si Temple was ranked in the top five among the thirty-six Taoist temples in terms of number of Taoist scriptures and strength. It's a pity..."
Uncle Qi didn't say the reason for the pity, but Shu Guan could roughly guess that the decline in Shan Jiguan's strength ranking might be related to the fact that Master Qixia became a demon.
Shu Guan followed Master Qi into the wooden shelves, and then discovered that the wooden boxes on the shelves could be divided into three colors, one was black, one was cyan, and one was purple.
However, there are only three purple wooden boxes, which are placed on the last row of shelves against the wall, arranged neatly.
"That is the five-door earthly immortal method that we Shan has contemplated."
Master Qi pointed to the five purple wooden boxes and said:
"But you can't practice it yet. Earthly Immortal-level Taoism can only be practiced after you complete the Zhoutian Transportation Technique."
"As for the blue box, it contains Taoist techniques that can be practiced in different ways."
"And the Taoist shop booklet placed in the black box shows that all Taoisms can be practiced."
"However, Lao Qi, you can only use your spiritual power for the Three Little Zhoutians now, so there are not many Taoist techniques you can choose from!"
Uncle Qi casually picked up a black wooden box on the shelf next to him and handed it directly to Shu Guan without opening it.
"You can practice this Taoist technique."
It seems that Master Qi already knows the location of every book in the Dao Zang Pavilion.
Shu Guan was curious and immediately opened the black wooden box in his hand. Inside the wooden box was a thin silk book with three words written on it:
wall penetration
"This Taoist technique used to be called Mountain Penetrating Technique, but now it can only penetrate through walls, but the luck method is still the ancient method from before."
Fifth senior brother An Zichun had already told Shu Guan these things, but Shu Guan still listened carefully.
As for the wall-penetrating technique, it is indeed a Taoist technique that he really wants to learn, because after learning the wall-penetrating technique, many things will indeed become very convenient.
Then Master Qi continued to go around the wooden frame and took down another black wooden box from the top of another wooden frame.
"You can also practice this one."
Shu Guan once again opened the wooden box expectantly. Inside was also a thin silk book with the words: Anti-Facial Technique on the cover.
"Uncle Qi, what kind of Taoism is this?"
"Oh, it can slow down the aging of your appearance in the future. This is the most basic Taoist technique after successfully entraining qi."
Shu Guan groaned and casually closed the wooden box.
This Taoist skill is naturally excellent. Considering that the fifth senior brother is already over eighty years old, he still looks like a man in his forties and has a baby face, but it seems that he is said to be older than the fifth senior brother. The eldest second senior brother should all be credited to this Taoist technique.
But compared to maintaining his appearance, Shu Guan's desire for other more powerful Taoist skills is now stronger.
For example, the dreaming technique.
"Uncle Qi, are there any other Taoist techniques suitable for me to practice?"
Master Qi thought for a while, then said "Ah", walked to a shelf specially placed with cyan wooden boxes, took a wooden box from the middle grid, and handed it to Shu Guan.
"You can also practice this one first."
After Shu Guan opened the wooden box, he saw the words "Qing Ping's Swordsmanship" written on the silk book inside.
Shu Guan was suddenly startled, raised his head and asked Master Qi doubtfully:
"Isn't this the method of swordsmanship? How can a disciple practice it?"
