In the courtyard of the Shen clan, Shen Fu and Shen Zhi lowered their rank to greet him. Logically speaking, Wu Sheng had already considered himself a junior in the clan when he first came. These two were both elders of the Shen clan. It was not polite to lower his rank to greet a junior.
But when Wu Sheng saw the incense table standing in front of the atrium, the ground paved with loess, and the banners hanging under the pillars, he immediately understood that they were not treating him as a nephew, but were welcoming him with the courtesy of a doctor.
Wu Sheng glanced at Shen Yueniang. Shen Yueniang was a little surprised and explained in a low voice: "Shen has not had it for many years... Well, when a doctor like Fifth Brother comes to visit, Dad and Fourth Uncle should be very happy, and they also invite Fifth Brother to see Just follow the girl's thin face... This is also their wish..."
When the car stopped, Wu Sheng got out of the car and said to Shen Fu and Shen Zhi: "Second uncle, fourth uncle, why should a family be like this? Just feel free to do it."
Wu Sheng caused quite a stir when he was in Langshan. Afterwards, Shen made many inquiries and found out his true identity. Hearing that he was still considered a member of the family, both Shen Fu and Shen Zhi were overjoyed: "Family is the best, no matter who you are." Your surname is Shen, you are my Shenshi Wulang!
Shen Fu said solemnly: "Wu Lang is already a doctor. I, the Shen family's first official in thirty-five years, can do whatever I want."
Shen Zhi bowed and said, "Wu Lang, Fourth Uncle, thank you very much!" He was sincerely thanking you. If it weren't for the elixir refined by Wu Sheng, he would have been scratching his head long ago. After taking the Qing Ling Dan refined by Wu Sheng four years ago, , extended his life for two years, then took the second one, and extended his life for another year, but did not take the last one, because he finally broke through and entered the realm of refining the gods, becoming the second pillar of the Shen family.
With the addition of two god-refining realm monks, the Shen family regained its momentum, and its family fortunes immediately recovered a lot.
In addition to Shen Zhi's failure, in the past few years, the Shen family has also relied on Wu Sheng's Liuwei Dihuang Pills to earn more than a hundred gold, which has greatly eased the pressure on the clan. One can imagine how important he is in the hearts of Shen Fu and Shen Zhi.
After the ceremony, Wu Sheng got straight to the point: "Second uncle and fourth uncle are both my elders. I came back today because I want to hear their experiences..."
Shen Fu asked: "What do Wulang want to ask?"
Wu Sheng thought deeply and said: "For example, the mystery that my second uncle felt during his practice, and my fourth uncle's realization between life and death..."
Shen Fu and Shen Zhi looked at each other and smiled at Wu Sheng: "Congratulations to Wu Lang, this is a sign of breaking through!"
Whenever this kind of question is asked, it means that there is an enlightenment in the heart. This kind of enlightenment is a kind of summary and reflection after practicing to a certain point. It is also called "Tao seed". It is a harbinger of the emergence of spiritual consciousness and is also bred by spiritual consciousness. Original origin.
Among the four realms of cultivation, monks in the Qi Refining Realm account for more than 70%. Most of the rest have only entered the Senior Realm. Only a very small part, about 2%, can break through the realm and refine the gods. The reason for this is, There may only be one out of ten people who can produce "Tao seeds".
Ninety percent of Qi practitioners spend their lives in "muddleheadedness" and cannot capture this sense of enlightenment at all, so how can they break through? Of course, once you experience enlightenment and have a Tao seed in your heart, you may not necessarily be able to give birth to divine consciousness. Come, but at least the door is opened.
Wu Sheng captured this mysterious insight and opened the door to breaking through the realm. It is possible to achieve the realm of refining gods, which is of course a good thing for Shen.
At that time, Shen Fu talked about his own experience at that time: "After I captured the Tao seed, I searched hard but failed to find it. So I traveled around, but still failed to gain anything. Not only did I fail to gain anything, but I also felt that the depression in my heart was accumulated, and I became more and more The pain was sharp, like a knife cutting an axe, and the pain was unbearable late at night. When we arrived in the Wu Kingdom, we encountered the Wu army's attack on Zhongli. The isolated city of Zhongli was already in a state of collapse. When the Wu army attacked the city, the Zhongli family all went up to the city wall. Everyone rushed to be the first and fought bravely to kill the enemy. Even twelve young men sacrificed their lives to fight, shouting, "Zhongli's heirs cannot be extinguished." I was moved by this and thought about how similar it was to the Cai-Chu coalition forces attacking me in Pingyu, so I pulled out Sword helps..."
When talking about this, Shen Fu seemed to have returned to the top of Zhongli City more than ten years ago: "...At that time, arrows were raining like rain, and magic weapons were everywhere. I was like a madman. I thought it was a battle between the Cai and Chu coalition forces at the top of Pingyu City. The battle was fierce. The Wu army was the first to kill seven soldiers. However, as the Wu army fought more and more on the city wall, the Zhongli family guarding the city became less and less. I was surrounded by the Wu army, seriously injured, and fell into a coma. It was God's will that blessed me, Shen family, and I was not dead. , climbed out from the mass grave. At this time, the depression in his chest was gone, and a wisp of spiritual consciousness was born, thus breaking through the realm and refining the spirit."
Wu Sheng listened carefully and carefully understood Shen Fu's feelings. He pondered for a long time and turned to Shen Zhi.
Shen Zhi said with a smile: "My breakthrough was also given by Wu Lang. My lifespan was over that day and I was just dying. But I have always been thinking about the younger members of the clan. I am worried about how the two brothers will be able to pull everyone together now that they are gone. Therefore, I was unwilling to accept my karma, and this is where the Tao seed came from. Last year, Sanlang and Jiulang gave birth to sons one after another. They were only one day apart. I held my two grandchildren in my arms and listened to their cries. I was greatly comforted. , then the situation is broken, which is easy to say, but actually it is not easy either.”
Wu Sheng nodded, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and bowed to the two elders: "Thank you, second uncle and fourth uncle."
Shen Fu said: "How to recognize the Tao seed, decipher the Tao seed, and nurture the Tao seed. Different people have different ways. You can understand our two perceptions, but you can't follow them. Especially, you can't become a burden, otherwise it will be Inner demon. In fact, I don’t agree with you visiting too many seniors. Just know what others are doing and stop there. If you visit too much, it will become a burden and a burden that will never go away. , you must remember that you can’t ask for help from others, you can only ask for help from yourself.”
Wu Sheng bowed again: "I already know it, and I won't ask anyone else again."
He had previously asked Lu Fang, Jin Wuhuan, and Yuan Sima about his experience in breaking through the realm of refining the gods. Today, he asked Shen Fu and Shen Zhi again. He had interviewed five people. Everyone had their own insights. I have my own way to solve it, but no matter how many questions I ask, I will still be at a loss.
What he originally wanted to hear most was Shen Zhi's insights. After all, Shen Zhi was destined to him in a certain way. It was because of the elixir he refined that he extended his life and broke through the realm. But after listening to it today, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with him. There is nothing to learn from, so we can only give up.
On the contrary, Shen Fu's words were the biggest gain for him - he didn't ask for anything from others, he could only ask for it from himself!
Wu Sheng said goodbye to Shen Fu and Shen Zhi. They already understood the purpose of his visit and did not try to persuade him to stay.
Shen Yueniang was still sent off by car. She handed Wu Sheng one hundred and twenty gold, which was the money Wu Sheng spent to refine six elixirs twice in a year. They all were sold at the agreed price of two for each elixir. Ten gold, whatever is left to sell belongs to Shen.
Wu Sheng smiled and asked: "To be honest, how much do you earn?"
Shen Yueniang said: "Sixty gold."
This is an average price of thirty gold, which is much lower than before. It shows that there are not many officials, sects, and aristocratic families in Cai Guo who can afford this price.
She added: "We plan to lower the price a little further and sell it for twenty-five gold. In addition, we will sell some to the surrounding countries. In this way, we can double the price. Does Fifth Brother think it is okay?"
Wu Sheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work if I just drop five gold. My cultivation level has improved a lot recently, and my alchemy skills have also improved. I will try to reduce the cost even more. I will give you fifteen gold for each one. You guys Sell it for twenty gold."
Shen Yueniang asked worriedly: "Fifth brother, won't your work be in vain?"
Wu Sheng patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, you will make money!"
