Ai Zhongwen was shocked. He had thought about various possibilities before, but he never expected that Zhang Yan and Zhou Zishang were relationships with each other!

The Zhou family of Dingyang is extremely prominent in Donghuazhou. As far as he knows, in the past hundred years, there have been no less than ten cultivators with cultivation above the Nascent Soul. It is obvious that Zhang Yan’s background is not simple!

However, Zhang Yan did not mention his background, so he was naturally very sensible and did not continue to ask questions.

At this time, Ai Zhongwen looked at Zhang Yan differently from what he had just seen. Although he was extremely polite when he first met, his reservedness that he had made one's own mind could not be eliminated. At this moment, he obviously placed Zhang Yan as a child of the Xuanmen family, and even slightly surpassed it.

Zhang Yan observed coldly, and secretly sighed in his heart that although the world of cultivation mostly regards people with high or low levels of cultivation, it also pays attention to the origin of origin. Now the Xuanmen family is full of various Taoist sects, and such people have firmly grasped the path of superior Taoism. They are not disciples from aristocratic families. Even if you have outstanding qualifications and do not have excellent opportunities, it is still difficult to stand out.

Thinking of this, he thought that if he succeeded in practicing Taoism one day, he would definitely try to change this situation.

Since the two of them were both interested in making friends, they had a lot of fun after a few sentences. At this time, Ai Zhongwen changed the topic and said, "Senior Brother, can you know about the Xuanwen Dharma Assembly?"

Zhang Yan looked faint, put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and said, "How can you not know? You will only meet this grand event for three years. Junior brother, I originally wanted to see it, but after going up the mountain for three years, I only focused on practicing and never made friends with friends, so I could not enter."

There are sixteen major sects in Donghuazhou, and countless small sects. Every three years, there will be a Xuanwen Dharma Assembly among the lower courts of each major sect. At that time, outstanding monks with surnames in the lower courts of each major sect will come here to exchange experiences in practicing Taoism, whether they are introductory or registered disciples.

This year, it was Cangwu Mountain's turn to be the host of the Dharma Assembly.

The reason why the name of the Dharma Assembly is called "Xuanwen" is because of the erosion of literature.

Since the creation of the world, the mountains, rivers and the earth have evolved naturally for billions of years. After sun and wind erosion, vast and profound longitude and latitude patterns have been formed on it. The mysteries of heaven and earth implied have been calculated and sorted by ancient moralists, and the unique classics of this Taoist monk have gradually formed.

Legend has it that in ancient times, practitioners could only understand the great way by relying on meditation on the erosion of the text.

Although this is just a rumor, it is enough to show that the erosion text is the foundation of the great way. If it is a general solution to the erosion text, the Immortal Gate is in sight.

In ancient times, monks who practiced Taoism first learned the erosion and then practiced the mysterious method.

But this method is extremely slow to practice Taoism, whether you achieve anything depends entirely on your talent in the eclipse.

Therefore, since the Xuanmen family gradually rose, the Xuanmen disciples have stopped following this path, because when they first learned the Tao, they had elders and masters to give some advice. Not only can they avoid going wrong paths, but they also don’t have to think about the erosion of the text carefully. They just need to follow the instructions of the teacher and commander. Not only is the foundation solid, but they also do not have to make mistakes. When their merits gradually increase, they will turn back to read the erosion of the text. That will naturally be a high-level view and raise your hand to do it.

This is also one of the reasons why Ai Zhongwen believes that Zhang Yan’s origin is not simple. It is too late for monks from non-family families to practice Taoism for limited time, so how could they spend more time learning the erosion of the heavenly books?

It can be said that there is unique way to erode texts like Zhang Yan’s predecessor.

Nowadays, competing and resolving the corruption of the Xuanwen Fair has become a means of measuring the level of their own family among the Xuanwen families, and it is no longer the use of practicing Taoism in the past.

Ai Zhongwen looked at Zhang Yan's face secretly. Seeing that he was saying a pity, but he didn't seem to care much about it. He couldn't guess his thoughts for a while and tentatively said: "I'm not hiding it from junior brother, I came today, and I was intending to invite my junior brother to the meeting. With my junior brother's attainment in eclipse, how can I not show my skills at the Dharma Assembly?"

Zhang Yan looked at Ai Zhongwen and smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother Ai invites me to go with you, how can I rude you?"

Ai Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a bronze medal and presented it with both hands, saying, "This is the token of the Dharma Assembly. You can enter the mountain gate with this item." After hesitating for a moment, he took out a bottle of elixir and placed it on the table, bowed and said, "This is a bottle of 'Zhenyuan Dan' used to adjust the energy and meridians. There is a number of Tiangang inside. It is a plea from Senior Brother Bian. I hope my senior brother will accept it."

After saying that, before Zhang Yan could speak, he bowed again and said, "Senior Brother Bian has some friendship with me. A few days ago, he was Meng Lang and he was evil for Senior Brother Zhang. I ask me to apologize again and again, and I hope Senior Brother will forgive me."

Zhang Yan heard the song and knew the meaning of the elegant song. How could he not know Ai Zhongwen’s plan? However, he had taken a Taoist book from the other party before, and now he naturally wanted to repay his favor. He was silent for a moment, and he sighed deliberately, saying, “I don’t care about such a small matter anymore. That day, I was just angry that Bian Qiao had obviously lost and wanted to use Senior Brother Hu to suppress me.”

Ai Zhongwen smiled and said, "As a senior brother, why bother with such slaves?"

Zhang Yan said "hmm" and then took out the page of scriptures and handed them over to Ai Zhongwen.

Since the goal has been achieved, and seeing it was getting late and Zhang Yan wanted to see the guests, Ai Zhongwen was not inconvenient to stay for a long time. He chatted for a few more words and said goodbye and left.

After seeing Ai Zhongwen off, Zhang Yan returned to the cave. He took out the bronze medal and looked at it. With his concentration, he couldn't help but look happy.

How could Ai Zhongwen know that this Xuanwen Dharma Assembly is his purpose? It can be said that Zhang Yan had made so much effort before, just for this Dharma Assembly.

However, not everyone can participate in the Dharma Assembly. Even if he wants to go there, someone will need to recommend it.

He is a registered disciple with no connections and no cultivation. The reason why he was so high-profile before was completely because he wanted to use his outstanding abilities in interpreting the erosion text as a stepping stone to obtain the qualification to participate in this Dharma Assembly.

Once you become famous in a Dharma Assembly, its meaning is completely different from before.

To put it bluntly, with his current identity, even if his reputation is very famous, he will only be a little more resonant among the registered disciples. Perhaps occasionally, people like Ai Zhongwen will appreciate him more, but those introductory disciples will not really look down on him even at a glance. But if it is in the Dharma Assembly, it will be completely different. Then, the elite disciples of the sixteen major sects gather together. To be honest, perhaps the elders and leaders of major sects may appear among these people in the future, and their influence is not a little bit bad.

Once you become famous in the Dharma Assembly, the master of the Confucianism should take into account his disciples first.

The purpose that had always been achieved was realized. At this moment, Zhang Yan was in a good mood and took out the "Linyao Question Method" that Ai Zhongwen gave him in disguise and started reading.

But when I saw it, I was very surprised.

It turns out that this book "Linyao Questioning Method" is exactly one of the articles in "Ten Chapters of Heart Questioning", which involves the last step of "Yuancheng Entering the Truth", which can be said to be a gem of words.

Obviously, Ai Zhongwen saw that his cultivation had reached the threshold of "Yuancheng Entering the Truth", so he specially sent such a Taoist book to show sincerity.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Xuanmen family really had a deep foundation. Zhang Yan didn't dare to think about such a precious Taoist book before. By chance, they only got one occasionally, but they gave it to others casually. Perhaps the Taoist book that was not worth mentioning to them was a real treasure record for disciples like him.

But not long after, he frowned a little after reading this Taoist book.

The eclipse of the article is not difficult for him, but there are many Xuanmen terms that refer to. Although Zhang Yan knows a little, he is not from an authentic Xuanmen family, and it seems a bit difficult to see. For example, there is the word "Douzan, Rui" and "Douzan". He knows that it is a term for qi circulation on the main meridian. There are generally three ways for qi to rise and fall, and "Rui" must refer to one of them specifically, but the question is how he knows which one it is?

This is not something that can be tried easily. If you are not careful, you will easily make mistakes, so it is useless to have this book in his hands.

But now he has to practice.

He could not guarantee whether Ai Zhongwen's mind was really that simple. If there was a purpose of intimate temptation, as long as he did not understand and understand it thoroughly, there was no need to look at his cultivation level. Just a brief answer would be seen.

And if he wants to attend the Dharma Assembly, he will sooner or later meet Ai Zhongwen again.

Standing up, he paced back and forth a few steps, a divine light flashed in his eyes, sat down again, and took out the broken jade in his sleeve.

The clone in the jade is the same as him. He had tried to practice before, but practicing the clone could not improve his own cultivation. Later, his mind was focused on understanding and reading the erosion text, so he did not continue to go deeper. Now when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but catch a trace of inspiration in his mind.

He sank his mind into the sacred jade. His consciousness and his clone were combined into one. He practiced according to the mantra of "Linyao Questioning Method". At first, the two barriers passed smoothly, but when he reached the third barrier, his breath introduced into a meridian. He suddenly felt a pain in his heart, his body suddenly became numb, and he became unable to move. He immediately knew that this was a twilight qi.

However, he was not discouraged at all, but was excited, which proved that his previous idea was feasible!

This is just a clone, and it cannot affect his original body at all. So what if he practices it apart? At worst, he can start over! Moreover, the world in the jade is ten times that of the real world. He can understand the skills in the jade and then practice it himself.

Zhang Yan calmed down and retreated his breath back, preparing to try again.

After just taking this step easily, he made new discoveries.

Since you can return your breath, that means that the state of this clone is entirely determined by his own thoughts?

After having this idea, he became curious and tried to directly manipulate his clone's cultivation.

Sure enough, as his mind changed, the clone suddenly became a little bit of cultivation, undoubtedly with an ordinary person; and the next moment, the clone's cultivation increased again, and in the blink of an eye, he skipped the entry foundation, went straight into the Yuan Zhu, and returned to his current cultivation level.

He tried to take a step forward, but he could no longer do so. This shows that the clone can only evolve to the level of cultivation he can achieve now, but for him, this is a big surprise. This means that even without the guidance of a teacher in the future, he can still find a way of cultivation by himself!
