Jining put away the jade slips, stared into the distance and said softly to himself: "The greatest is the most upright, and there is no way to adapt to the situation, which is called the Tao. The Tao can be understood by Taoism, but Taoism cannot be understood. The Taoism can be understood by using things to understand Taoism!"
After several months, Jining studied this book carefully. From the content in the book, Jining learned that the monk named Mi Feng was a golden elixir monk. After he knew that he had no hope of condensing the Nascent Soul, he wrote this strange book about his life experiences.
Although he was unable to condense the Nascent Soul, he used an open-minded and open-minded mind to think about the way he cultivated. Although he did not clearly write down the way he understood, the way he understood could still be felt intimately between the lines. This also made Jining read the taste of his life.
A smile appeared on Jining's face. Although this book was just a travelogue, it made him understand the Tao more deeply. Jining knew that this understanding would be of great benefit to him in condensing the Nascent Soul.
Jining then closed his eyes and realized what he was thinking.
In the following years, Jining lingered in the library and his residence, occasionally going to the Chuan Gong Hall to listen to lectures and going into the wild forest to earn some sect contributions.
The rising sun is rising in the east, and the morning glow and clouds on the horizon are colorful. The little spots of light make Jining's small courtyard look unusually vibrant.
Jining was cleaning the bluestone floor in the yard. He also tidied up the yard in his free time now. Now, in addition to more seats, some low-level spiritual grasses and flowers have been planted in the small yard, making the place full of vitality.
This was also an extra insight he had after seeing Mifeng that day. In the book, his understanding of Jie Ying is that he can use Dao to clarify the way. If there is no way to reach it, he can also explain the way to all things in the world!
This also gave him a little more insight. The monk's cultivation is to create a new world within his own body. Qi training, foundation building and golden elixir are the foundation of this world, and its difficulties can be compared to the creation of the world.
However, if there is nothing in the world, how can it be called Tao? The monk who has not condensed the Nascent Soul is like getting an unformed mountain and sea pearl. When a monk gives birth to a baby, it is like a grass growing in the world and giving it a little more vitality. It is also the true transformation of the monk.
Therefore, in addition to meditating and studying classics every day, Jining also planted some flowers and plants. He carefully observed the seeds sprouting, growing young leaves, and flowering and bearing fruit.
"Dudududu" there was a knock on the door, and Jining knew that the person knocking on the door was also a middle-stage qi-training monk named Shao Qingsong who lived near him. However, Shao Qingsong did not enter the sect through the path to immortality, but had some connections with a certain deacon of the sect and became an outer disciple of the Liuyun Sect.
After Shao Qingsong entered the courtyard, he looked at the flowers and plants swaying in the wind and said, "Senior Brother Ning, you are so leisurely and elegant. You have planted so many magical herbs and elixirs in the yard. Why don't you go to the sect to get the elixirs for planting? This way you can also get spiritual stone and good sect contribution points."
Jining laughed and said nothing.
Shao Qingsong didn't pay attention and continued: "Senior Brother Ning, you rarely go out. Do you know that the five-year competition for the outer disciples of Liuyun Sect has begun. If you rank at the top, you will get rewards from the sect. I heard that the top ten will get rewards. Foundation Establishment Pill. And Senior Brother Ning can practice his Qi at the ninth level and compete!"
Jining was a little surprised. He rarely went out in Liuyun Sect. He didn't know about this most important ceremony of the outer sect in five years.
Jining smiled: "Junior brother Shao, there are many people who have perfected their Qi training among the outer disciples. Although I am in the late stage of Qi training, I can be said to be a world of difference from them. But Ning rarely fights with others and is not good at fighting with others. The monks fight. I don't want to create a source of laughter among my brothers."
After hearing this, Shao Qingsong seemed to empathize and said: "Yes, I heard that those senior brothers who wanted to get a good ranking spent a lot of money and went to Liuyunfang City to buy powerful spiritual weapons and talismans. In addition, they themselves cultivated Because, it is also difficult for other brothers and sisters to shake them."
Then Shao Qingsong said: "Today the outer sect competition starts, will Senior Brother Ning go and have a look?"
Jining thought about it and nodded, and soon the two of them headed towards the square in Qixia Mountain.
Today, flags are rising in a vast square on Qixia Mountain. Many outer disciples have gathered in the square. They gathered around the ten arenas and waved flags and cheered for the disciples who were being evaluated.
Jining looked carefully at the ten square arenas that were ten feet square. There was a faint yellow light in the void around the arena, as if some kind of isolation restriction had been set.
"Senior Brother Ning, are you also here to participate in the competition within the sect?" a voice sounded.
Jining saw Wu Yinping and Yuan Shan near him. Wu Yinping was holding a golden token in his hand, which seemed to be the number plate of the monks participating in the ring. Wu Yinping glanced at Jining's cultivation and said with a hint of contempt: "Junior Brother Ning, do you want to try your luck with your cultivation?"
Jining ignored Wu Yinping and looked at Yuan Shan and said: "Ning's cultivation level is no longer embarrassing here. Junior Brother Yuan's cultivation level is making rapid progress. It seems that he will surpass Ning soon!"
Yuan Shan said with joy on his face: "Why should I thank Senior Brother Ning!"
This also reminded Jining of accidentally giving them a few Qingyou fruits. At the same time, Jining also learned from other people that Wu Yinping was the royal princess of a mortal country protected by Liuyun Sect. There are dozens of mortal countries protected by Liuyun Sect, so the struggle between mortal countries has not stopped. Therefore, after these royal people enter the sect, they will win over other monks.
At that time, Wu Yinping also planned to win over Jining, but Jining's repeated contradictions made her very unhappy. In addition, Jining's cultivation progress was not as she imagined, so she gradually didn't take it to heart.
When Wu Yinping saw that Jining didn't pay attention to her, her face became even more ugly. She said "hum" and pulled Yuan Shan away. At this time, a fight in a distant arena had begun, so Jining and Shao Qingsong also headed towards this arena.
There are two middle-aged monks in this arena who have reached the late stage of Qi training. They are wielding an intermediate ghost sword weapon. There are nine ghost head rings on the ghost sword weapon. Every time he swings a sword, the ghost sword will appear. The head ring made a frightening sound.
This ghost sword magical weapon actually had sonic attacks, which made the middle-aged Qi practitioner opposite him look so pale. He tried desperately to block it with a low-level spiritual sword in his hand, but in the end, because the gap between the two magical weapons was too big, he was defeated in the end. Come down.
At this time, Jining was a little surprised. In another arena, Wu Yinping was fighting with a cultivator who was in the late stages of Qi training. She used a high-level red damask ribbon magic weapon. Under her urging, the entire arena was filled with red damask. The red damask in the sky looked like a girl dancing lightly, which was also pleasing to the eye. In addition, Wu Yinping had a high prestige among low-level monks. Therefore, many qi-training monks cheered for her.
But the Qi Practitioner opposite actually had a spiritual beast. He saw a strange bird that looked like an eagle but not an eagle. It was covered with gray feathers and its wings were spread several feet wide. It was tearing at the red water chestnuts in the sky with its sharp steel claws.
While the qi-training monk urged the spiritual beasts to attack, he himself was not idle either. He would make sneak attacks from time to time with a spiritual sword in his hand. Gradually, Wu Yinping's fatigue has been revealed, and it seems that she can't hold on for much longer.
Wu Yinping also felt that her situation was not good, and her pale face showed anger. Suddenly she took back the Hongling magic weapon, and then there was a talisman in her hand. As the talisman was activated, the surroundings of the arena suddenly felt cold.
When the Qi Practitioner opposite saw the talisman in her hand, his expression changed drastically and he quickly ran away. Jining knew that what she activated was a talisman that sealed the ice arrow technique. Although the ice arrow technique was a spell known to monks in the Qi training stage, this ice arrow technique was a little different.
Then hundreds of ice arrows from the sky above the arena hit the qi-training monk and his spirit beast like arrows. The qi-training monk quickly used all his strength to activate the protective energy.
Jining sighed softly when he saw it. It seemed that this Qi training monk was unable to resist this middle-grade attack talisman.
With a "boom", these ice arrows were suddenly blocked by a powerful energy shield. It turned out that the foundation-building monk serving as the referee in the ring rescued the Qi-training monk.
