Completing the first level of Jiuyang Conquering Qi Technique not only gave birth to the first ray of spiritual energy in Wang Changsheng's body (in the eyes of outsiders), but also allowed his physical body to be tempered to a certain extent.
The only flaw is that his lifespan has not increased as a result.
Come to think of it, Bigu is just the beginning of spiritual practice, and it has not yet reached the level where it can increase longevity.
Wang Changsheng's opened eyes met Zhang Ciming's pleased gaze.
"Congratulations, Changsheng. From today on, you will officially embark on the path of cultivation."
"May you keep the precepts and abide by the law, and do not pollute the lintel of the Dragon and Tiger Gate."
"Disciple, please remember the teachings." Wang Changsheng bowed his head respectfully and bowed deeply.
Looking at the young Taoist priest in front of him, Zhang Ciming's eyes were full of emotion. Although he had expectations, he still couldn't believe it when he saw that the young man had mastered the Jiuyang Conquering Qi Technique on his first try.
After a while, Zhang Ciming took out a stack of talismans from his arms and handed them to Wang Changsheng:
"The journey to Longhu Mountain is long and arduous. I have prepared ten Liuding Liujia amulets and ten Five Thunder amulets for you to protect you."
"The Six Ding Liujia Talisman is the main defense, which can withstand a full blow from the early stage of Bigu. The Five Thunder Talisman is the main attack, and its power is close to the mid-stage Bigu. If used against monsters, there is an additional damage bonus. You only need to enter a trace into the talisman. Spiritual energy can urge you."
"And your mahogany sword."
Zhang Ciming frowned slightly: "Although the material is good, it is just an ordinary weapon after all. You used it to activate the power of Dao Fruit in the Gray Realm. Although it is fine on the surface, the inner structure has been destroyed and it will not be used for long."
"You should also take this sword with you."
He took off the long sword from his waist and threw it to Wang Changsheng: "The name of this sword is 'Zhuguang'. The quality is not very good, it is only at the level of a top-grade magical weapon, but it is more than enough to deal with some little monsters in the fasting stage."
"Thank you, Master, for the treasure. I will use it with caution if I live forever."
It was an indispensable gift from the elders. Wang Changsheng did not refuse and cherished the stack of talismans and the Light-Chasing Sword.
"Once the Nine Yang Conquering Qi method is completed, there is no need to distract yourself from the practice. Every day, I will do the exercises, lead the purple qi to condense into 'yang seeds', and then I can automatically breathe out the qi and refine it into spiritual energy. I no longer need to practice the above. I'm worried about you." Zhang Ciming gently stroked the short beard on his chin and said:
"Changsheng, before leaving, do you have any questions to ask?"
After hearing this, Wang Changsheng's eyes moved.
He did have a problem that he still couldn't figure out.
So, he took out from his arms the irregular gray crystal that fell after killing the rabbit demon in the gray field that day, and asked: "Uncle, you said that day that this thing is treasured. I will use it later." Got it, but I don’t know what exactly it is?”
"The name of this thing is 'Gray Crystal'." Zhang Ciming sighed in a complicated tone: "This thing will be useful when you try to break through the Foundation Building Stage from the Bigu Stage in the future."
Wang Changsheng's eyes narrowed.
Can the things dropped from the demons in the gray realm help the monks break through their realm bottlenecks?
What is the principle?
"It is said that a long time ago, there was no gray realm in the world. At that time, everyone only needed to practice spiritual energy to break through all the way. But now, it is no longer possible."
Zhang Ciming said in a gloomy tone: "After the completion of Bigu, you can try to build the foundation for a hundred days. However, the way of heaven has changed. If there is no 'foundation-building support', the moment the spiritual consciousness after the breakthrough is exposed to the world, you will die suddenly." and die, without exception.”
"The ancestors made countless sacrifices, and finally discovered that the gray crystals dropped from the demons in the gray realm are excellent 'foundation-building possessions', or 'foundation-building spiritual objects', and their effects are even better than those of ordinary heavenly objects. Materials and materials are even more outstanding.”
"Not only is it necessary to break through the foundation building, but also to become a Yin God on top of the foundation, you also need the assistance of 'grey crystals'. Of course, it is not the 'little gray crystals' produced by the thin gray domain, but higher-level gray crystals. The product of the domain.”
"..." Wang Changsheng's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this.
This kind of cultivation is so slightly different from what he imagined?
"And there is only one 'object of support' that is more effective than gray crystal." Speaking of this, Zhang Ciming stared into Wang Changsheng's eyes: "That is, the legendary Tao Fruit."
"The fruit of the Tao is nurtured and manifested by heaven and earth, and it cannot be obtained except by a great chance."
"Having the Tao Fruit is equivalent to holding the [Sequence]. In the future, you no longer need to find a 'support' for your practice. You can use it as a 'support' to make continuous breakthroughs."
"Therefore, in order to obtain the Tao Fruit, many monks do not hesitate to commit endless massacres, just to complete the manifestation of the Tao Fruit."
"Changsheng, you are lucky."
"Once the Tao Fruit is absorbed, its holder will return to heaven and earth after being killed. Therefore, few cult monks will target the holders of the Tao Fruit."
"But nothing is absolute."
"Therefore, when you are out and about, once you decide to show off your power, you should try your best to keep your hands and feet clean to ensure that no one can leak the information."
Wang Changsheng's expression became solemn, and he bowed deeply: "Changsheng, please remember your teachings."
"Yes." Zhang Ciming nodded with satisfaction: "There is one more thing. The power of Dao Fruit can only be revealed after the foundation is established. You are just entering Bigu now, so it is best not to use it if you can."
"Although the Tao and the fruit are good, there are also disasters when practicing [Sequence]."
"This is what the old man said. I don't know the details very well. When you get to Longhu Mountain, if you have a chance, you can ask the old man yourself."
"Keep it in my heart forever." Wang Changsheng nodded vigorously.
"Do you have any other questions?" Zhang Ciming smiled.
"No more." Wang Changsheng shook his head, took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhang Ciming: "Uncle, this disciple will set off now. You will have thousands of miles to go to Xuannv Pavilion." Yao, please be very careful."
Although he was a master in name, Zhang Ciming was very kind to him in teaching and teaching, and he was actually a respected teacher.
"You're still worried about me." Zhang Ciming laughed dumbly, but he was also touched in his heart.
He waved his hand, jumped off the roof, and with a casual move, Zhang Caili, who was unconscious in the guest room, was lifted up by an invisible force and flew out, following behind him.
Just like that, Zhang Ciming walked towards the distance with his hands behind his back and Zhang Caili floating behind him.
"I'm taking the first step."
Looking at Zhang Ciming who disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye, Wang Changsheng was a little stunned, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.
Wanton, free and easy...
Wang Changsheng was particularly envious and yearned for such a free and carefree style of doing things.
"Bon Voyage."
He prayed, and his voice was carried by the breeze and carried far, far away.
…
Carrying his already packed luggage, Wang Changsheng carried the bamboo cage containing Li Laodao and locked the door of Qingfeng Temple.
Taking one last look at the place where he embarked on the path of cultivation, Wang Changsheng let out a breath, then turned around firmly and walked towards the east.
