With a "pop" sound, Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to take the volume of "Tianji Landscape Pictures". He felt that it was light and empty, and it was far different from what he imagined. He was secretly surprised in his heart.
But looking at the simple seal pattern on the scroll, it seems to be quite similar to my own Tianji Diagram. Looking closely, I even feel a little dizzy.
Liu Yuan quickly collected his thoughts and solemnly thanked his master again.
Ren Shidao laughed, stretched out his finger to draw a trace of light in the void, and without further explanation, it just floated away. Only this trace of light is left to gather together and never disperse.
This golden light trail rolled and flowed in the air, as if it had spirituality. When I looked at it intently, I felt dizzy.
However, the golden light trace slowly took shape, revealing an image.
The two of them were shocked. They both recognized it. It was an ancient word:
Heart!
Not only did Liu Yuan feel his heart surge, but it seemed as if something had been blocking his chest until now, a hole finally opened and a bright light came out.
Even Wu Darong on the side was thoughtful. After standing there for a long time, he bowed respectfully to the big word "heart".
"Heart... heart..." Liu Yuan murmured to himself. The meaning of this word is too great and too general.
Seeing Liu Yuan pondering for a long time, Wu Darong expressed his understanding:
"Master, the word heart is of profound meaning," he pointed to his chest. "Maybe it means the heart of keeping one's own heart. However, it can also be understood as using the heart to prove the Tao, or it can also be understood as having an undistracted mind. Or it can be both. "
"What senior brother said is that the word "heart" has a profound meaning." Liu Yuan recited these admonitions with the word "heart", but suddenly another word came to his mind:
Why can't it be whatever you want?
Do whatever you want!
…
"Let's go, Master is always so unpredictable," Wu Darong interrupted his thoughts, "I have learned the technique. Next, it is time to arrange your place and start your one-year retreat to achieve breakthrough."
"That's right." Liu Yuan was also looking for a quiet room and quickly understood this Tianji landscape painting.
Liu Yuan sat on Senior Brother Wu's magic weapon and passed through many scenery in Tianji Peak. He saw the continuous green peaks among the mountains and the auspicious clouds. He couldn't help but sigh that there was really a unique cave in Tianji Peak.
Along the way, Liu Yuan learned that the disciples of the main peak can all be assigned their own caves, and that a large amount of training resources will be distributed regularly every year, including spiritual stones, pills, and various materials. This benefit is completely different from that at the outer door.
Moreover, while enjoying these many benefits, the main peak disciples will not be assigned any chores and only need to concentrate on their cultivation. If you want to travel, you have complete freedom of movement. If you have enough energy to complete some sect tasks, there will be generous rewards.
Of course, this is all a thing for another day. In the first year after entering the main peak, the new disciples who are awarded the skills need to retreat and comprehend. They can break through from the peak of Qi refining to successfully build the foundation before they can leave. This is the sign of truly embarking on the path of cultivating immortality.
Of course, most of those talented disciples who were recommended without taking the exam had successfully built their foundations on their own. For example, Ren Xiaowen had a much higher status than the disciples who had won the selection.
Moreover, Wu Darong hinted to Liu Yuan in his words that in the main peak, the children of the Mu and Ren families are also much higher than the disciples with other surnames. After all, in addition to the sect's training resources, they can also get an extra share from the family. . Disciples with foreign surnames can only pursue it from other perspectives, such as talent, hard work, and opportunity.
Liu Yuan naturally understood this. It was the same in any time, space, and world. Some people were born in Rome, and some people were born as cows and horses. Although I don’t have any background, I can embark on the path of cultivating immortality, so there is nothing to complain about.
While he was talking, Wu Darong had already led Liu Yuan to a place, passed through the dark stone cave, and walked downwards in the tunnel for a few breaths. At this time, he had arrived at the belly of Tianji Peak, which is the center of the entire Tianji Peak array. location.
"Tianji Peak has beautiful bells and celestial beings. Although it is not as rich in immortal energy as Tiandu Peak, it is still among the top three," the senior brother said proudly. He pointed at the array, "There are thirty-six valleys and seventy-two holes here. It’s where spiritual energy is entrenched.”
Liu Yuan looked over and found that the formation plate was shining with little lights. These bright spots were scattered all over the place, as if they were echoing the valleys and holes, conveying real-time information there.
The monk's vision and calculation power have long been far superior to ordinary people. Liu Yuan glanced at them and saw the numbers thirty-six and seventy-two. It's just that the stars in those thirty-six places are obviously much brighter than those in the seventy-two places.
"These thirty-six places are where the peak masters and seniors of Tianji Peak practice, while the seventy-two places are the caves for our disciples."
"Are these dozens of caves just empty caves?" Liu Yuan noticed that the starlight in more than a dozen of the seventy-two caves was vague and flickered only once in a long time.
"That's it. Junior brother can choose any of these places." Wu Darong specifically pointed out a few caves to Liu Yuan that he thought were good. Although the spiritual energy was not as good as those that already had owners, it was not much different.
"Thank you, senior brother. I'd better go and see for myself."
"As it should be."
Wu Darong took Liu Yuan to explore these places in sequence from near to far. Most of these caves are located near valleys and mountain streams. The aura gathered here is mostly relatively strong, which can significantly increase the speed of cultivation.
Sure enough, wherever Liu Yuan saw, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were lush and green, and the aura was overflowing. It was completely different from his previous residence by the stream.
"Is there anything you like?"
"To be honest, senior brother, I prefer this place."
"Is it actually here?" Wu Darong raised his thick eyebrows, somewhat surprised. The place Liu Yuan chose was a low-lying mountain col. There was a shallow pool of water, and a trickle of water seeping out from the shrubs and rock walls, gurgling into it. There is a dark cave on the rock wall, and there are more than ten stone mansions located next to the pool, which look very old.
Although the scenery is nice, the monks focus on cultivation after all, and what matters is the richness of the spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy here is really not good.
To be honest, among all the ownerless caves, this one ranks almost at the bottom.
"Senior brother laughed. This place is quite similar to my younger brother's previous residence, and I can't help but feel nostalgic."
"Okay," Wu Darong couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt. Master paid so much attention to him. Could it be that he was entrusted to someone else? However, he just cursed in his heart, smiled slightly and said, "That's up to you. If you regret it, you can also propose to change the cave every ten years."
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
Wu Darong handed over a storage bag and a spiritual stone.
"This stone is the rune stone in the formation plate that belongs to this cave. It is transformed from the spirit stone and can establish a connection with the formation plate by itself. You place it at the formation eye outside the cave. It has the functions of communication, warning, and some "The function of gathering spirits." Wu Darong spoke eloquently, "As for this storage bag, it is a year's supply for new disciples. I hope you can thoroughly understand the exercises given to you by Master during this year's retreat. Breakthrough to foundation building.”
Liu Yuan had naturally heard about this process and thanked his senior brother again. When Wu Darong was about to say goodbye, he suddenly asked, "During the one-year retreat period, have any disciples failed to successfully build the foundation?"
"Foundation building has not been completed? This has never happened before." Wu Darong was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of that weird junior sister Ren Tianqing.
"By the way, there's only one person."
