Now you have penetrated deep into the first-class sect, right?
But the impression given to Shen Hao here was different from what he had imagined before coming here, and it was even very different from the second-rate sect Chang Baifeng he had visited before.
In addition to the most direct intensity of spiritual energy, there is also the atmosphere within the sect. Guishan Monastery and Changbaifeng are also very different.
If everyone in Changbaifeng is working hard to practice, then the people in Guishan Monastery appear to be particularly idle. Everyone's face is calm and indifferent. There is no urgency for practice, only a kind of being attracted by them. The accustomed tranquility.
Drink, talk, punch...even sleep. Don't live life too easily.
As for cultivation, according to Nie Yun: Just follow your heart. The main thing to cultivate is the heart, followed by the body, and finally the skills. There are conditions within the door that allow everyone to pursue their own path in a leisurely manner and move forward step by step. There is no need to fight for the next opportunity every moment like outside. This is also the essential difference between first-rate sects and second-rate sects.
According to Nie Yun, the conditions created by first-class sects are to enable disciples to better "cultivate their minds" without leaving fundamental flaws in themselves due to the temporary speed of pursuing the realm of cultivation.
Of course, this relaxed cultivation environment does not mean that the cultivation progress of disciples within the sect will be slower than that outside. The rich aura here, coupled with the good talents that have passed through the selection of disciples, and the accumulated foundation at the level of magic, make the cultivation of the disciples here not slow, and at the same time, the cultivation of "heart" will be much higher than that of the outsiders. Disciples of third-rate sects, let alone casual cultivators or people in the officialdom like Shen Hao.
This was not the first time Shen Hao heard Nie Yun talk about "cultivation of the mind". The reason why Nie Yun suppressed his cultivation and did not break through the last barrier of the Yuan Dan realm before was that his cultivation was still weak because of Zhao Zhiyuan's incident, and he was worried that he would be killed by "Jie" when he broke through. Now that he is about to get married, the flaw in Nie Yun's character is gone. The next step should be to try to attack the Xuanhai realm after he has completely recovered from his injuries, right?
"By the way, the information you asked me to help you check last time has some clues, but the Wang family is different. Many things were asked for you this time through the relationship between Master. When he meets Master later, he will I mentioned this to you."
Shen Hao nodded. One of the reasons he came to Guishan Monastery was to talk about the Wang family. The emperor had previously asked him to take action against the aristocratic families and the Daxiu clan in order to shake off these hidden diseases that had been entrenched in the old Jing Dynasty for thousands of years. According to Pang Ban's plan, it was best to break the situation by "strike first to gain the upper hand", and the Wang family was the one to break the situation. key.
However, Xuanqingwei's internal understanding of the Wang family's situation is very one-sided, mainly superficial things, and nothing deep. Considering that Heishui's ability was difficult to obtain useful information on targets like the Wang family in a short period of time, Shen Hao used Qianli Note to ask Nie Yun for help. The results should have come out now.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Nie Yun finally led Shen Hao to a stop outside a small forest.
"Master, my disciple brought Shen Hao here to pay my respects!" Nie Yun stood outside the grove, bowed and saluted inside, and then opened his mouth to report.
A few breaths later, a voice that Shen Hao remembered clearly responded from the forest: "Come in." It was Li Shuyang, a real person from Pingyang, who was speaking.
Entering the forest, what you see is just an inconspicuous thatched house and a small fence surrounded by bamboo. There are some fruit trees around the fence.
Li Shuyang was sitting on a deck chair in the yard with a smile. When he saw Nie Yun leading Shen Hao over, he waved to them. The aura on his body was calm, and even the natural pressure of the Xuanhai realm was very light. It seemed that It was Li Shuyang who deliberately restrained himself.
"Disciple, meet your master!"
"Boy Shen Hao meets Master Pingyang!"
If there is anyone in Guishan Monastery besides Nie Yun that Shen Hao naturally feels close to and respects, it is Li Shuyang. There was no other reason than that Li Shuyang once gave him Shen Hao's favor. If it weren't for those tips on magic practice, he might have died in a life-and-death fight later.
Li Shuyang stood up from the recliner, looked at Shen Hao up and down, and said in a rather emotional tone: "When I saw you back then, you seemed to be in the Qi Refining Realm, right? How many years has it been? You are already at the third level of the Yuan Dan Realm! Tsk, tsk, you made a mistake. Wow, I really made a mistake."
Li Shuyang didn't have much impression of Shen Hao at first, but he didn't recall it until Nie Yun mentioned it to him. Then he always heard some news about this man, about his late-blooming talent, about Chang Baifengsang's epiphany, and later... He became a high-ranking member of the Xuanqing Guards and even helped Nie Yun rescue Zhao Zhiyuan from the now-extinct Lingxiao Palace not long ago.
What does it mean to treat people with admiration after three days of separation? That's it. A few years ago, who would have thought that a mere low-level official of the Xuanqing Guard would grow to this point?
"I would also like to thank Master Zhenren for his teaching a few years ago, which benefited me a lot. Later, it was only because of the methods taught by Zhenren that I had the opportunity to escape death many times. Master, please accept this kid's courtesy." Shen Hao said politely. He bowed to express his thanks, and Li Shuyang accepted the gift calmly with a smile.
"It's just some small tips, not worth mentioning. But you have a good fate with our Guishan Monastery, especially with me, Lao Shufeng. First you and I formed a good relationship, and then you and Nie Yun had an irreversible friendship. What you have hanging around your waist now is still my Lao Shufeng’s token. How about it? Do you have any thoughts about being my disciple?”
Facing Li Shuyang's question, Shen Hao bowed slightly and said, "When I took over the title of "registered disciple" of Guishan Monastery, Brother Nie saw that I was weak and feared something would happen, so I gave him a title to save my life. Now I feel very lucky to have my name under the real master. But after all, the boy has a special status. If there are any taboos, please ask the real master to remove the title of the boy."
Shen Hao's meaning was very clear: the title was originally given by Nie Yun, but he didn't rely on it and didn't want to take it off. Now it depends on Li Shuyang's wishes. It doesn't matter to him. At worst, he will find supplies for Guishan Monastery from other places. With his current authority in Jingjiu Dynasty, he can definitely say such things.
Li Shuyang could naturally hear that there was something in Shen Hao's words, but he didn't care. After all, Shen Hao today is no longer the mere flag officer he was a few years ago.
"Master Wushan mentioned you to me before, saying that he had met you in Jingying's mansion and helped you take care of two of your friends. He considered you acquainted with you. He also specifically said that he wanted you to join me, Lao Shufeng. You Did you agree at that time? Since you agreed at that time, then I will officially put your name on the disciple list of Lao Shufeng and count it as a registered disciple."
What else can Shen Hao say? This is not a bad thing for him after all.
