The night is dark.
Zhang Yao's mood gradually returned to calm.
"Although the skills are good, it is not easy to really get started."
There is a reason why no one has paid attention to the Wanhuadu Zhenzhen Sutra for two thousand years.
It is very difficult to get started with this technique. Just the first step of constructing the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation" in the body has stumped countless people.
If you want to build a formation within your body, there are three prerequisites:
First, you need to start learning the way of spiritual patterns, and only after you have a thorough understanding of the basic formations can you try to construct them;
Secondly, one must first strengthen the body's muscles and bones, and temper the internal organs. Only when the strength of the five internal organs is far superior to that of ordinary people can they carry the spirit pattern array veins.
Thirdly, the requirements for the soul are extremely demanding, and one must have extremely fine control over one's body and spiritual energy in order to "use energy as a blade" and inscribe spiritual patterns.
All three conditions are indispensable, and each level is more difficult than the last.
But for Zhang Yao, these are not problems. Two hundred years of life, martial arts in the past, and immortality today have long laid a solid foundation for him.
"A match made in heaven."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. He felt that God had provided him with this top-notch skill that could be said to be tailor-made.
At the end of the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Jing", there is also a message recorded, which seems to be the description of a family ancestor and foundation-building monk who collected this book more than a thousand years ago.
According to the foundation-building monk:
Under normal circumstances, most people with five-attribute spiritual roots have no chance to get started.
And for a five-spirit-rooted monk with extraordinary talents and a strong soul, even if everything goes smoothly, it will often take at least sixty or seventy years to successfully build the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation" on the five internal organs and complete the introduction to the art.
Taking such a long time to complete the steps of getting started can only be said to be more gain than loss.
Cultivation of immortality and Qi is a matter of competing with heaven for destiny.
Before the age of sixty, the probability of breaking through the foundation building period is highest. After this time point, the success rate will drop rapidly.
After the age of seventy or eighty, the hope of breaking through the foundation building period is very slim, and the five spiritual root monks who practice "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" are generally just getting started at this time, which is tantamount to cutting off the path to immortality.
If you practice other techniques and have a sufficient supply of spiritual elixirs, you may even have the opportunity to reach the foundation-building realm. Who would be so reluctant to practice the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra"?
"The entry requirements are too harsh, the cultivation is too difficult, and it takes too long. No wonder it will be gradually buried in history..."
There was a faint smile on Zhang Yao's face.
"I am fully confident that I will complete the entry-level program in twenty years!"
"This top-notch technique is almost a perfect fit for me. It's really God's blessing..."
When he thought of this, his body suddenly stiffened.
"Perfect, flawless..."
This word kept echoing in his mind, like a big bell, making his mind buzz.
How can there be such a perfect thing in the world? Did he happen to meet him? Is it such a coincidence?
"Something's wrong..."
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Yao's back unknowingly.
He carefully recalled his experiences in the past three months, and suddenly woke up, feeling a great fear in his heart.
"How could I be so unwise?!"
According to his character, as soon as he learned about Tianbao Tower’s recruitment order, he should have given up on his skills and left immediately!
He is immortal and has endless lifespan. He has plenty of time, so why take risks? !
You know, as long as he stays in Qingyunfang City, he will be in danger. The steward of Tianbao Tower, Lao Qi who is familiar with him, Jiang Rou who provides the skills... these are all fatal flaws!
How could he not notice?
How could he ignore it?
"Is this still me?"
Zhang Yao asked himself from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, he could spend twenty years hiding behind the scenes and weaving a trap in order to follow the footsteps of the immortal cultivators.
In the past, in order to avoid unexpected dangers and knowing that the atmosphere among immortal cultivators in Lu was harmonious, he still suffered in the mountains of the mortal world for more than forty years before setting foot on Tiandu Mountain.
What about his caution?
Where is his walking on eggshells?
Did they all feed the dogs? !
"I have been influenced by someone!!"
Zhang Yao came to this terrible conclusion in his heart, and then his heart couldn't help but sink deeply to the bottom.
Even his self-created "Legilimency Technique" can affect people's minds and memories. He doesn't think that immortal cultivators don't have similar means.
After eliminating all impossible answers, what remains must be the truth!
"Is there God's will in the dark? Is God acting for good?"
"It's all bullshit!"
"How can there be so many coincidences in the world?"
"Web! What a spider web!!"
Zhang Yao finally realized that he had fallen into a carefully woven trap, like a bird waiting to be eaten by a spider!
The fat steward in Tianbao Tower had obviously noticed him seven or eight years ago.
What does this mean?
This shows that Tianbao Tower’s recruitment order was not a spur-of-the-moment move, but a huge plan that had been premeditated. The fat steward of Tianbao Tower must have learned the inside information in advance, and then took the initiative to approach him, so he would definitely be interested in it. He was impressed.
But after Tianbao Tower issued the recruitment order, the fat steward has not looked for him yet, as if he has completely forgotten about him.
is it possible? Immortal cultivators have a photographic memory of each other, so they just forgot about him?
And Lao Qi!
Can the nonsense he made up casually about his friends and nephews really fool a veteran who has been around the world for many years, without even the slightest suspicion?
Even after the recruitment order caused a large-scale sensation, he didn't even say a word to the side, just pretended that nothing happened, and still asked him to play chess?
And Jiang Rou!
Just such a coincidence? Just two months before the recruitment order was issued, the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" that he had been waiting for for many years without any clue appeared?
Immortal cultivators carry their belongings in storage bags with them. Why do they have to wait for three months when they say that the technique is not with them?
"I'm so blinded by lard!"
"Ten thousand spiritual stones. Anyone who has a clue can report it. Even if he is afraid of being cheated by the market, he can go directly to Tianbao Tower to report it!"
"But I actually ignored the huge danger and foolishly waited for a month before running to complete the transaction..."
Zhang Yao was now feeling cold all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
In just a few short months, he had completely lost the vigilance and caution he once had, and he was completely different from before, but he didn't even know it.
If he hadn't started using today's skills and the intense emotional stimulation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed anything strange, and he would still be a puppet in the hands of others.
"There is definitely something wrong with this technique!"
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts were spinning rapidly:
"The person behind the scheme should be Tianbao Tower, and the Ouyang family and the Chu family are probably also involved!"
"Lao Qi and Jiang Rou are just their pawns. One is used to monitor and paralyze me, and the other takes the initiative to bring the skills to my door!"
"Based on the current information, it can be inferred that their purpose for going to such great lengths is probably to lure me into their trap without anyone noticing, so that I can take the initiative to practice this set of exercises!"
"The person who affects my mind and sanity is probably a monk in the foundation-building stage, so that I can't resist and can't detect it... This is simply a dead end!"
In his mind, thoughts kept rushing:
"How on earth are we going to break this situation?!"
