When an ordinary monk enters Taoism for the first time, his Taoist practice starts from scratch. If there is no opportunity, even if he has good talent, he will have to study hard for two or three years before he has a chance to enter the ninth level.
Huang Fugui is a clear example.
At the age of fifteen, he won the favor of the great immortal in his clan and entered Taoism. After three years of hard training, he was now only one step away from becoming a Taoist monk.
Speaking of which, Huang Fugui's cultivation talent is not the best, but it is still excellent. It is worth cultivating in all major cultivation families and sects, and is a mainstay.
Chu Chen practiced for less than a month, from entering Taoism to reaching the highest level.
This speed can no longer be described as fast, but can be described as flying with a sword, turning into a rainbow and chasing light.
Chu Chen understood the shock in the hearts of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, and Xiao Guizai, and hurriedly gave an overview of tonight's adventure with Fugui.
Even though many details were omitted, the two of them were surprised again and again.
After the kid was surprised, he looked resentful again:
"Senior brother, you didn't bring me with you for such a fun thing. If you had brought me, I would have snatched all the spiritual fruits back!"
"Definitely next time."
Chu Chen touched the little devil's head.
"Yeah!" The kid nodded seriously.
"You two boys are truly blessed."
Taoist priest Xu Ping said with emotion:
"I went to the ghost market to meet the Dragon Lord at the night banquet and drank the moonlight divine wine. Today I met the Fire Origin Spirit Fruit. It's really a good fortune."
When Chu Chen heard the words, he realized something and said:
"Master, does the Moon Flower Divine Wine paired with the Fire Spirit Fruit have a miraculous effect? When I was refining the spirit fruit, I found that it was very easy to practice. My magic power continued to grow, and my cultivation level skyrocketed like crazy!"
"good!"
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly.
"So I say you have good luck. The Fire Spirit Fruit and even the Yang Spirit need a little bit of pure Yin to be blended to its full potential. This is like the process of alchemy, where water and fire complement each other and Yin and Yang are reconciled."
"You two boys collided by mistake. You didn't waste the spiritual fruit at all. Instead, you perfectly fit the secret of alchemy practice, and your cultivation level has greatly increased."
"That boy Fugui hasn't drank much Yuehua Fine Wine, and his cultivation is not as good as yours. However, he has a solid foundation in cultivation and is about to reach the first level. This time, he will definitely reach the first level."
"You two boys are such a blessing!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping felt a sigh in his heart when he thought of the hard work he had gone through when he entered the imperial examination.
It really lives up to that saying, comparing people to each other will make people mad.
Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Master, my disciples started practicing Taoism later than the rich and talented. Today I have caught up. This may be due to the destiny of heaven."
"well said!"
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly, then shook his head and said:
"You two are still a bit reckless. The Wolf Demon King probably has a ninth-level Taoist cultivation level. Fortunately, there is no problem. You have to thank Fugui this time. He took the risk and rushed in to grab two spiritual fruits. I will share one with you. It’s very good and worthy of friendship.”
"Um."
Chu Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.
In fact, his contribution in snatching the spiritual fruit was no less than that of Huang Fugui.
Whether it was observing the moonlight to find the right time in the early stage, or interrupting the Wolf Demon King's demon wind spell in the later stage, and successfully becoming the queen of wealth, his contribution was not bad at all, and he also took a huge risk, which is worth sharing a spiritual fruit.
Fugui also knows this very well.
Chu Chen did not explain more to his master to avoid being scolded for being reckless and Yunyun again.
In addition, what Master said is correct.
Wealth is indeed very honest. He did not devour the spiritual fruit when he snatched it, and did not keep it secretly. This in itself is a reflection of his character.
To make friends, you have to make this kind of friend.
"Sir, my senior brother has entered the ninth level. You can teach generals. With the help of divine generals, my senior brother will be a true Taoist mage."
The little kid seemed to remember something and jumped up in surprise, shouting repeatedly.
He looked even happier than Chu Chen.
The so-called divine generals refer to the heavenly protector generals, meritorious deities and other gods.
After the Taoist priest imparts the magic urn, he can communicate with the gods and generals in heaven about their merits, and invite the gods from the lower realms to enter your dharma urn and be commanded by you.
For Taoist priests, "summoning gods and sending generals" is an extremely important spell.
The flying gods reveal the emperor, issue memorials, pay homage, wish the country good luck, call for wind and rain, step on the gangbang, chant incantations, ward off disasters and diseases, heal and suppress, transform and transport, go out of the netherworld and into the underworld, and help life and death. etc., can all be entrusted to God to complete, which greatly increases the power of various spells and makes it easier to succeed in doing things.
Therefore, refining generals is extremely important to Taoist priests and is the core magical power.
Only when you are successful in refining can you be qualified to be called a mage.
Taoist spells include soldiers and horses at the lower altar and soldiers and horses at the upper altar.
Chu Chen already had soldiers and horses under the altar. After the ceremony, Xin'an County City God's Mansion allocated 21 soldiers and horses to him.
Right now, we are short of the most powerful soldiers and horses - the divine general in the urn.
After possessing the ninth-grade cultivation practice, he barely met the requirements of "refining a general".
"Little devil, master, I am the disciple, or you are the disciple."
Taoist Xu Ping glared at the little guy angrily.
"Hey, sir, let me remind you."
Those who are favored are always unscrupulous. The little kid was not at all afraid of Taoist Xu Ping's reprimand and made a face indifferently.
"Go away and stay here."
Taoist priest Xu Ping waved his hand, shook the little devil away, and then said to Chu Chen:
"Refining generals is extremely important as refining gods. Your cultivation is still short and your foundation is unstable. You are just getting started with all the talismans and cannot be accomplished overnight. I will first teach you Deng Xin, Zhang Tao, Xun, Bima, Zhao Wenguan, the ten generals in your body. General Talisman, you start with the Shuling Talisman."
"Yeah, I know."
Chu Chen nodded, naturally agreeing.
He is not worried about not being able to learn the "method of training generals". Maybe in a few days, it will appear in the inner temple, and he will be able to master it quickly.
Of course, Chu Chen did not completely place his trust in the Heart Temple.
When his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, taught him the talismans of the ten great generals of "Deng Xin, Zhang Tao, Xun, Bima, Zhao Wenguan", he studied very seriously and did not slack off at all.
The night passed.
The next day, after gathering the purple energy of the morning sun, Chu Chen followed Taoist Xu Ping and entered the Yamen of the Ghosts and Gods Division.
Speaking of which, this is the second time that the master and apprentice have entered the Department of Ghosts and Gods together. In the past, they always went their separate ways to prevent others from gossiping.
This time, the reason why we entered the Yamen of the Ghosts and Gods Department together was naturally because Chu Chen was admitted and needed to report to the Ghosts and Gods Department.
There is a huge difference in treatment between monks whether they are qualified or not.
At the gate of Guishensi Yamen, the master and apprentice met an acquaintance.
Surprisingly, it was Huang Mei and Huang Fugui, the deputy directors of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
The two uncles and nephews were radiant and full of spring breeze. It looked like they had met a great event, and the smiles between their brows and eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard they tried.
"Hey, Brother Xu, your apprentice has also passed the rank?"
Huang Mei looked surprised. He had heard that Chu Chen had entered Taoism not long ago.
Even with the help of the "Fire Yuan Spirit Fruit", it is impossible to reach the top grade all at once.
The fact that my family is rich and noble is because we have practiced hard for two or three years. Why does this kid Chu Chen have such a good reputation?
Taoist priest Xu Ping laughed and explained: "This is also the fate of the two children. Our master has a secret method that is specially used to cooperate with rare treasures such as the Fire Yuan Spirit Fruit. This is how this kid became a master in one fell swoop. Hahaha, let Brother Huang What a joke."
