As for the use of "Round Ball" and the Yin clan, it seems that Zhang Yan has found a simple and direct way for the time being. It also provided him with numerous benefits.
But Zhang Yan soon discovered that only he could enjoy this kind of benefit without any scruples. It would be difficult to distribute it to his disciples, for example.
The difficult part is not the absorption of liquid spiritual energy.
Although the three disciples have not yet entered the Dao Dan realm, the cyclone in the Dantian can already accommodate a certain amount of liquid spiritual energy. Although it is very small, it is indeed possible. It was for this reason that Zhang Yan asked the three of them to try to absorb a drop of liquid spiritual energy each.
The results were good, but bad at the same time.
The key point still lies in the two words "enlightenment".
Spiritual energy is easy to absorb and you can take shortcuts, but the matter of enlightenment is related to your own way and cannot be faked by others. It is even more impossible for everyone to be like Zhang Yan, who can rely on the world to actively help him "cheat" and directly engrave the Tao into his consciousness and cognition. Even the process of "enlightenment" is directly omitted. When using it, you can just sort it out and become familiar with it. .
Although the three apprentices are getting older, they each have their own way of understanding "Tao", which is very different from Zhang Yan, who is quite ordinary. Zhang Yan could only help to see if there were any mistakes in the direction, and did not dare to intervene too much. Because he didn’t understand the ways of his disciples.
Moreover, this is a very important threshold from the Mysterious Vein Realm to the Dao Dan Realm. It is even the beginning of true practice. And this beginning has higher requirements for the understanding of "Tao" than all previous realms of cultivation. Many monks with average talents are blocked by this level, and they have no choice but to be blocked out and unable to make any progress throughout their lives.
So when Wang Nian was pushed directly to the late stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm, he was stuck. Liu Xin and Yang Rui were in a similar situation, both stuck in the middle stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm.
It’s not that you don’t have enough spiritual energy to break through, it’s that you can’t meet the understanding of “Tao” required to break through to the next realm. This is only the Mysterious Vein Realm, and logically speaking, it is a realm where the requirements for "enlightenment" are not that high.
The three children were also a little annoyed by the drop of liquid spiritual energy sent by Zhang Yan. The trouble is not with the liquid spiritual energy itself, but with the lack of corresponding understanding of the Tao. If they can "enlighten" faster, can their cultivation level continue to rise?
This mentality is actually not good. If it cannot be solved, there will be hidden dangers.
But Zhang Yan is not in a hurry about this. If he didn't have the mental preparation and means to deal with these situations, he wouldn't have given the liquid spiritual energy to his three apprentices.
Early that morning, Zhang Yan summoned Wang Nian and the others to Dengyun Palace.
"You have been anxious and restless these past few days. This is not the way to practice. You must know that practice is to cultivate the mind to a large extent. How do you want to enlighten your mind if you are not stable? What kind of Tao do you want to enlighten? Those who warn against going too far. You have all read the summary of Taoism many times, don’t you still understand these principles?”
"My disciple knows that he is wrong. But because of his limited realm, he is impatient. He knows that he shouldn't, but he can't restrain himself. Master, please punish me."
None of the three children is stupid. Even if they don't know it, their classmates will notice it. If they confirm each other, they will naturally know that their recent mentality is wrong.
There is also a feeling of resentment. After all, if the master hadn't given them that magical liquid spiritual energy, they wouldn't have needed to be stopped by "Enlightenment" right now.
Of course, there is no room for complaint. But it is inevitable to blame yourself for your shallow understanding. After all, in their view, since the master gave them liquid spiritual energy, it was to give them a hand and support. Unfortunately, they failed to live up to the master's good intentions.
Now, in turn, they have become anxious and irritable. This has made the mistakes worse, so that the three children are anxious and ready to accept punishment.
"Punishment?" Zhang Yan shook his head.
"There are thousands of ways to enlightenment, and you know your own way best. I am just reminding you that it is no good to be impatient and eager for quick success, especially in the matter of enlightenment, which is accompanied by great risks.
However, you have each reached a bottleneck now, and you must have new insights to break through. But understanding comes from the changes and principles of heaven and earth. Although you can understand the great way by observing the clouds day and night, it is too difficult and profound for you, and it is not practical for you and cannot solve your current troubles.
So staying in the mountains is no longer suitable for you.
Go out for a walk. Go around the various countries of the human race. Where can you not go in this vast world? Even the realm of the demon clan is not impossible for you as long as you are brave enough. After experiencing some things, your understanding of this world should be deeper, and when the time comes, the way you will be fed back to you will also be enhanced. "
The three children immediately raised their heads, and each of them opened their eyes wide and looked at the smiling Master sitting on the chair above.
Without waiting for the three children to speak, Zhang Yan continued: "Although you three are still young, you have wisdom and brains that are not inferior to adults. You are even smarter than most people in some aspects. Plus you All the magic means and magical weapons can be obtained anywhere in the world unless you are in desperate situation.
However, if the three of you are together and supporting each other, many experiences will be skipped, and there will be fewer things that are interesting and helpful for you to understand your own way.
As I just said, your own way requires your own pursuit and exploration. "
Zhang Yan said this, which means that he is not discussing with the three apprentices but just informing them. It is not advisable to work behind closed doors, and the disciples are not like him who can cheat without limit. To achieve enlightenment, one must "enlighten". It's not easy to figure out something when you stay in the mountains all day. What's more, the three children are at the age of "entering the world". How can we talk about "coming out of the world" or "escaping from the world" without "joining the world"?
"It's Master! Disciple, please obey Master's orders!"
Exclusion? How can it be!
Wang Nian was so happy that he almost jumped through the roof. After returning to Lingxiu Tower from Dengyun Temple, he started to pack his luggage. All the things he thought were useful were stuffed into the storage backpacks prepared by Master for the three of them. Then he spread out a map and excitedly laid it out on it to choose where to go.
Although Liu Xin was not as anxious as Wang Nian, he was still very happy. She also hopes to go out and walk alone. She has never had the experience of "going wherever she wants and doing whatever she wants" before. Even when she arrived at Cliff Mountain, she followed the rules. This time she was prepared to listen to herself. But when it was suddenly her turn to make a decision, she was a little confused... Where should she go?
Only Yang Rui was a little panicked. It wasn't that he didn't want to go down the mountain, but he knew that if he went down like this, he would probably be taken back to the palace, and he didn't want to go back. So I thought about sneaking away in advance?
