"The first thing to do when practicing Qi is to have sufficient energy and strong internal energy. If your body is deficient in energy and all five internal organs are empty, do you still want to practice Taoism?"

Inside a foundation-building monk's cave in Jinhong Valley, it is elegantly and quietly decorated with green bricks and jade walls. In the lotus clear pond placed in the mansion, there are gold and red carps swimming up and down, breathing in and out.

Because he had just accepted six named disciples, Yin Tianchou, a middle-aged Taoist with a sharp temperament, was conducting his first teaching session.

When he said this sentence, he seemed to glare hard at the handsome disciple on the side.

This scene was seen by Zhang Lie, who was sitting upright on the futon below.

He knew that the person being stared at by his master was Yin Yifei, but he did not pay attention to the inner story. Instead, he immersed himself in the truth told by his master.

The second generation of rich people are relatively unwilling to endure hardship. This is a common problem in any civilization in any world, even in the world of cultivators.

The so-called situation of continuous efforts of several generations, although it exists objectively in a few cases, in most cases, it is impossible. It is human nature to like to relax and dislike work.

"Practice swordsmanship, you can understand how to control the body and condense the spirit, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Tao."

"The key to practicing swordsmanship is to be like a swimming dragon and avoid stagnation. After practicing for a long time, the body and the sword will be integrated, and the sword and the spirit will be integrated. Where there is no sword, there will be a sword everywhere. If you can reach this state with your body and understand this meaning with your mind, then

It’s almost Taoist.”

While explaining this truth, Yin Tianqiu raised his breath, and a stream of pure mana surged out of his Dantian.

The flying sword behind him suddenly flew out of its sheath. The middle-aged Taoist swooped down, and the sword flashed like a dragon. It turned out that it was really a human being and the flying sword.

The flying sword penetrated the air and turned into a blazing dragon. The Qisha Taoist was in the midst of it as if he was riding the wind. The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and suddenly one could not distinguish the gaps between the sword light and the figures.

Accompanied by a clear roar, the figure of Taoist Qi Sha in the flames suddenly split into nine, and nine rotating fire lotuses flew around the sword-qi flame dragon, and the sword pressure was extremely impressive.

This scene brought a great psychological impact to the new disciples present, thus creating a yearning for swordsmanship and expectations for cultivation.

Swordsmanship is also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, but it is not as mainstream as alchemy, weapon making, drawing talismans, and formations.

However, Yin Tianchou was a monk who was good at swordsmanship. The meeting gift he gave to his six disciples was six second-level mid-level flying swords. Obviously, he would let them inherit what he had learned in the future.

"If you can really master master's sharp swordsmanship, strengthen your muscles and bones, and concentrate your spirit, it will obviously be of great benefit to your practice."

"It's just that in the fierce battles and dangers, if you practice too powerful swordsmanship, you will inevitably want to use it. If you provoke a monk whose cultivation level is much higher than yourself, or even a level higher than yourself, no matter how strong your swordsmanship is, you will still be unavoidable. It's easy.

Those who fall into the calamity of death are also the reason why swordsmanship is not as good as the mainstream cultivation of immortality."

Such thoughts flashed through his mind for a moment, but Zhang Lie was still like the other disciples present, staring at the master who looked like a swimming dragon with bright eyes, showing his admiration.

Yin Tianchou, the Taoist Master of the Seven Evils, is everywhere, flying swords and refining demons. He is a man of amazing talent and beauty, so it is not difficult to worship such a master.

However, Yin Tianchou prefers to immerse himself in his own cultivation rather than teach his disciples.

Therefore, except for the first lesson of entry, most of the time thereafter, it was Senior Sister Li Manmei who taught on his behalf. Especially the enlightenment of those new disciples who had just entered the practice was indeed extremely complicated and trivial. There was no need to start with Zhu Zhu.

Brother Ji followed and finished.

Although Yin Yifei, the only son of Master Yin Tianchou, also studied under him, he did not become a disciple of his own father. Instead, he became a disciple of a sect's foundation-building alchemy uncle, so that he could

He is the head of both families and has a larger and deeper network of people within the sect.

Even the reason why Yin Tianchou accepted so many disciples was because he wanted to pave the way for his own son.

Zhang Lie was the first among these disciples to realize this, but he didn't mind: you can't ask others to treat you well without asking for anything in return.

As time goes by, the Taoist Temple is taught.

After listening to a lecture by a sect deacon, Zhang Lie, who was dressed in Taoist robes, kept chanting silently and ran out quickly.

There are many monks like him. The deacon of the sect who is teaching today has made great achievements in the field of elixir identification and is willing to share some valuable experience.

However, what Zhang Lie was silently reciting at this moment was not the experience taught by the deacon, but the Taihao Golden Chapter Disha Sword Sutra inscribed on the stone slab in the Taoist Hall.

He didn't dare to carelessly go to make rubbings for research. Although these scripture tablets had been placed here for nearly a hundred years, Zhang Lie was still not sure that no senior sect members were paying attention to this place. Therefore, he only dared to use the publicly taught courses as an example.

Cover, memorize some by rote every time you go, and then write them down silently after returning to your home.

Fortunately, the memory of monks is far better than that of ordinary people, and memorizing half of the Disha Sword Sutra in its entirety is definitely not a useless effort.

Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will emerge. Although it is much easier for Zhang Lie to read these ancient seal characters than monks in this world, it also requires a long period of study and research, and it is not directly accessible.

In other words, even if we bring scholars from Earth who specialize in studying ancient characters to read and translate the Earthly Sword Sutra, they still have to study it word for word every day and constantly ponder it. This is a big project in itself.

"I don't insist on understanding. First, recite the entire Sword Sutra completely, so that it can be memorized word for word. Now, I will practice the Blazing Lotus Secret Scroll to lay the foundation. The days ahead are still long."

While thinking like this, the sky suddenly darkened and heavy rain fell suddenly. Except for the disciples who had practiced the Water Resistance Technique, all the other disciples of the Jinhong Valley Sect became like birds and beasts, and so did Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie returned to the small courtyard assigned to him in the sect with a wet body. After entering the room, Zhang Lie found that the little old man Zhang Chuanli was writing down accounts with a frown on his face.

"What's wrong, Fourth Uncle? What's bothering you so much?" Although Zhang Lie wanted to go back indoors and write down the Earthly Sword Sutra silently, he couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it, so he stepped forward and asked.

"I'm thinking about what kind of apprenticeship gift I should give to Master Qisha. Although you have already become a disciple, Yuan Lie, I'm afraid you will have to be taught by Master Qisha for most of your life. Master Qisha is so generous.

The meeting gift is a second-level mid-grade flying sword, so our apprenticeship ceremony will definitely not be too shabby."

Although he knew this was true, the thought of the large amount of spiritual stones he was about to take out still made the little old man feel like he was being cut into pieces.

If you want to achieve success in seeking Taoism and cultivating immortality, you must have the four essentials of "Dharma, wealth, and earth". Without wealth, it is not enough to cultivate Taoism.

In particular, Zhang Chuanli knew very well that although Zhang Lie had the special qualification to practice evil bones, this special physique would not be of any help in the process of accumulating mana. To cultivate Zhang Lie with the qualification of the Four Spiritual Roots, the spirit in his hand would have to be cultivated.

Stone should be used sparingly.

The uncle and nephew came all the way from the Southern Territory. The patriarch Zhang Xiangshen took out 600 spirit stones in one breath, but this was the cost of the next ten years. In order to maintain Zhang Lie's cultivation progress along the way, it was not enough.

few.

But a second-level mid-grade flying sword starts at 80 spirit stones. The price of apprenticeship cannot be lower than this price.

"Okay, Yuan Lie, you can go inside and practice. You don't have to worry about these things. My fourth uncle will handle them properly and I won't make you look bad in front of your fellow teachers."

"Fourth Uncle, I am now a registered disciple of the sect, and I have a monthly payment of ten low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, I test the skills for Patriarch Red Eyebrow, and I also receive ten low-grade spiritual stones as compensation."

The sect's monthly offering for the outer disciples of Jinhong Valley is five low-grade spiritual stones, the sect's monthly offering for the inner and registered disciples is ten low-grade spiritual stones, and the sect's monthly offering for the true disciples is twenty low-grade spiritual stones.

.

In addition to the different number of spiritual stones distributed every month, there are also differences in all aspects of treatment in other sects.

Because Zhang Lie practices the Purple Heart Dharma founded by the Red Eyebrow Patriarch in the Dan Formation Realm, although he is a registered disciple, he is treated the same as a true disciple in terms of the monthly spiritual stone.

"You don't want spiritual stones. You all want the sect's good deeds. You will spend most of your time practicing in the sect in the future. Good deeds can be exchanged for spiritual stones, but spiritual stones cannot be exchanged for good deeds. Regarding spiritual stones, Fourth Uncle will think about it."

The solution is, you don’t have to worry about this.”

Although the fourth uncle Zhang Chuanli is only one generation higher than Zhang Lie, he is already in his sixties. In the past ten years, he has married five concubines in a row and finally gave birth to a son with spiritual roots. This time Zhang Chuanli took Zhang Chuanli with him.

Lie came across the sea to complete his family mission and save more training resources for his son.

But after getting along with each other for this period of time, Zhang Chuanli really appreciates the younger member of the family in front of him. He has resilience and hard work that far exceeds those of his age. Although his cultivation aptitude is not good, he has early wisdom and evil bone cultivation physique. The former makes up for it.

In addition to his lack of cultivation qualifications, the latter can improve his fighting ability at the same level.

A monk with strong fighting ability in the late stage of Qi training is already very valuable to a small cultivating family. This is also an important reason why the Zhang family will vigorously support Zhang Lie's training. Zhang Chuanli would rather endure hardships and let his nephew suffer as his cultivation deteriorates.
