Chapter 679
The advancement of a monk is nothing more than understanding the laws of heaven and constantly accumulating the power of immortal spirit. Both are indispensable.
If you want to understand the laws of heaven, although you need to keep a close door and understand alone most of the time, sometimes you have to focus on your thoughts and study together with your friends.
Every once in a while, Qin Di would gather the spirits of four immortal trees to evolve the laws of heaven with him.
His body contains the law seeds given by the Wood God Ju Mang. It is stimulated by the wood energy of the four immortal trees and can sprout and grow faster. In this process of evolution of the way of heaven, not only does he have great benefits, but even the four immortal trees benefit.
Moreover, every three years, his clone Qin Mu would take a few disciples to teleport directly to the Qingdi Palace. One was to pay homage to the palace master Feng Yin and the three Supreme Elders, and the other was to find someone to share their insights on the laws of heaven.
The best place in the Qing Emperor Palace is that there are many monks.
In the newly opened Taoist Pavilion, not only are there many single rooms for monks to sit in seclusion and ponder the way of heaven, but there are also some larger rooms, like conference rooms, for many people to gather together to study together.
Everyone has different opinions about the same Muxin.
Sometimes, a veteran spiritual immortal may gather a group of listeners to explain his feelings about one of Mu Xin in public.
Mu Xin can also be borrowed and placed in front of everyone. It is more intuitive when discussing this.
The speaker pointed to Muxin while talking about his discoveries, while the people below kept asking questions. This way, they learned from each other and brainstormed, and everyone gained something.
Therefore, Qin Di often brought several disciples to communicate and learn. Although the main lecturers' words may not be correct, they can also inspire him. If you continue to think about deep-seated issues after going back, you will often get greater benefits.
In addition, Qin Di also went to the library to read the records of the senior immortal formation master's formation refining in order to improve his formation cultivation.
On this day, he had just walked out of the library and met an old fairy with white hair.
The man's face was full of wrinkles, looked very old, with a unkempt and dirty face, and his skin had become dry and had no luster at all.
Qin Di was a little surprised when he saw this, because for the spiritual immortal, few people would show this way. Unless they encountered obstacles in their practice, they would show such a look.
The so-called five declines of heaven and man are divided into the Big Five Decline and the Small Five Decline.
Only the Great Five Declines can only happen in the celestial immortals and the ancestral immortals, and almost everyone has to experience it. Only by surviving the Five Declinations of the Heavenly Man can one advance to the Golden Immortal.
The small five-decline is relatively rare, mainly occurring in the spiritual immortal stage. Either the life span will be exhausted, or the spiritual power of the demon will be disordered.
For ordinary monks, if the five declines of heaven and man occur, they will definitely endure them alone. Such scenes are rare like the elderly spiritual immortal in front of him who is still walking outside.
Therefore, Qin Di couldn't help but look at this man a few more times.
Who knew that this man suddenly spoke: "Is Junior Brother Qin Mu on the opposite side?"
Qin Di was a little surprised and said, "It's just here. Who is the senior brother?"
The old spiritual immortal looked at Qin Di with his faint eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "I am Gong Shu. After leaving the palace today, I learned about my junior brother's feat from the palace master, so I came to visit him."
Qin Di was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Ah, it turns out to be Senior Brother Gong Shu! I have wanted to pay homage to Senior Brother, and I am so happy to see you today."
Gong Shu's smile became even stronger, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to fade a lot. He took Qin Di's hand and said, "Junior Brother Qin, can you sit in my cave? Let's have a good chat. I'm a little confused and just ask you for advice."
"Senior brother is too humble. I have been practicing for a short time and I don't understand a lot. I have always wanted to discuss with my senior brother."
So Qin Di followed the other party to a mountain far away from Qingyao Peak.
This mountain is not tall and has a rich spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the flowers, plants and trees are a little decayed. Obviously, the palace technique of the master is no longer in mind. Or, the aura of the little five-decayed on his body is released, affecting these flowers, plants and trees.
The two sat in the immortal palace on the top of the peak, and after a few greetings, they began to communicate with each other.
Qin Di's formation foundation is mainly based on the Taoist tradition passed down by Liu Huayang, and he has not fully understood the inheritance of the Qing Emperor. Gong Shu has always learned the formation Taoist left by the Qing Emperor. He has been immersed in it for many years and has a deep understanding. Therefore, the two of them are very happy to have such an opportunity to communicate.
After a long time, Qin Di couldn't help asking: "Senior Brother Gong, have you encountered some trouble? Why do you look so old?"
Gong Shu sighed and said, "Oh, my senior brother won't hide it from you. My life span is about to end."
Spiritual immortals also have limits on life spans. The life span of a monk is related to his cultivation level. Even if he is a spiritual immortal, the life span of the first-level and the ninth-level spiritual immortals are still far from that. Therefore, the monks are always competing for life, just like a celestial dog chasing him behind him. If he runs slowly, he will be swallowed by time.
"What I like most is the formation path, so I spend most of my time studying the immortal formation. The laws of heaven and earth that I have comprehended are enough, but the immortal spirit power accumulated in my body is insufficient, and the foundation in the past has not been laid well, so it becomes more and more difficult later. Over time, I finally reached this point."
Qin Di asked, "Have you taken the pill to prolong your life?"
"That's natural. After all, I am a fourth-level immortal formation master. I am also an important figure in the Qingdi Palace, so I have eaten all the longevity pills I can eat."
Qin Di thought for a while and said, "What level of immortal pill do you eat with senior brother?"
Gong Shu replied: "I have eaten the third and fourth levels, and it will not be effective if I eat it anymore."
"How long can senior brother last?"
Gong Shu smiled and said, "I will not die within three thousand years." The lifespan of the Spirit Immortal is extremely long. Even if I die, I will not die so fast.
Qin Di breathed a little relieved when he heard this and said, "Senior Brother, don't worry, I have a brother who is good at refining elixirs. When I meet him, let him refine a furnace of fifth-level immortal pills, which can also help the senior brother continue to prolong his life."
Gong Shu looked at him in surprise and said, "You brother can refine fifth-level immortal pills? That's amazing! There are only a handful of people in the entire spiritual world who can refine fifth-level immortal pills! If there are fifth-level immortal pills, I might have a turnaround. Thank you, Junior Brother, no matter what kind of immortal grass I need, I can ask the palace for it."
Qin Di said: "The immortal grass needed for the Shou Dan is different. My brother once left a list. Senior brother, take it and take it. If you can get all the immortal grass, I will ask him to help you refine it." As he said that, his spiritual sense moved, and he listed the materials needed for the Shou Dan in the jade slip, and handed it to Gong Shu.
