Among the monks in the world, no matter which family or lineage they belong to, the breakthrough between each realm is extremely difficult.
There are three small realms in a single realm. If there is no lack of talent and skills, and with sufficient resources, one can cross them in a short time with overwhelming momentum.
But breakthroughs in big realms are not that simple.
Looking at the entire world, there are countless souls who have embarked on spiritual practice, whether they are talented people or people with great luck and luck, but they all stop in front of this pass.
And at this point, both warriors and monks are like this.
For example, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Wuhen, was known as a martial arts genius when he was young. He broke into the flesh realm at a young age and reached the peak of the realm in just a dozen years.
But until his energy and blood began to weaken, he was still stuck in front of the pass to the second realm. No matter how hard he tried, he could not take the last half step.
With no hope ahead, he had just thought of seizing the body, but evil spirits took advantage of it.
Ji Yuan was well aware of the difficulty of breaking through the barrier. Even though he had enough confidence in himself, he was still prepared to be stuck in the barrier for several years, grinding his way through it little by little.
But now it is a blessing in disguise. Although he has not yet completely broken through the realm, once the injuries in his body are healed and his meridians are successfully reshaped, he will be able to fuse his essence, energy and spirit, create magic power within his body, and finally reach the realm of spiritual enlightenment.
"Next, the imperial court will definitely send experts to turn the entire county upside down."
After Song He confirmed that Ji Yuan was okay for the time being, he said in a deep voice: "In this case, Yu Yan is not suitable to stay to protect you. She needs to leave tonight and return to Luohun Slope."
In this life, by chance, he was resurrected through the corpses of his descendants. Although there was still a trace of death in his soul that could not be eliminated, it was no different from a living person.
But Zhou Yuyan is still a ghost, and has even chosen to walk the path of ghosts. If the experts in the court find out, even though the couple has a clear conscience and has never done anything harmful to nature, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan spoke with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law, I can return to Luohunpo without worries. Although I can't put my cultivation level to good use, I still have some ability to protect myself."
Enemies in the ordinary enlightenment realm, whether they are Long Sword Yuanbao or Flying Sword Xiaobai, can rely on their own accumulated spiritual energy to deal with them. If there are enemies beyond expectations, at worst, he will use the sword energy lake in Zifu.
As long as the opponent is not too strong, at most it will only make your injuries more serious, but it will not endanger your life.
"And starting from today, I will also retreat to recuperate my injuries, and at the same time, I will refine several batches of urgently needed elixirs."
He sighed, and a look of physical pain suddenly appeared in his eyes.
After these few days of hard work, it can be said that the reserve of elixirs on his body has shrunk significantly. Each of the precious elixirs was used without thinking at the time. Now that he thinks about it, he can't help but stamp his feet and thump.
chest.
That’s all real money!
Seeing the expression of pain on his face, Song He and his wife looked at each other, and a deep smile immediately appeared in their eyes.
At the same time, they also felt a little emotional that Ji Yuan, who looked like this, finally felt a little like a teenager. He was usually too cautious and always looked old-fashioned, which was really a bit unpleasant.
After half a moment, Song He put away the soundproofing ban and left the hut.
But before leaving, he set up a defensive array for the Taoist temple, and then handed the array to Hui Xin, who had already awakened.
After finishing all this, the two of them left with peace of mind. After leaving the county, one of them went straight back to Luohunpo, and the other rushed to the county thousands of miles away with all his strength.
After Song He and his wife left, Ji Yuan explained some things to his fifth senior brother Guo Tao and announced that he would be in seclusion for a period of time.
During his retreat, except for Zhao Yuebai who had to enter the hut every day to teach him how to practice, even his master Zhang Zhiya could not disturb him at will.
Although everyone was worried, they didn't say anything. Zhao Yuansong and his party simply stayed in the Taoist temple.
For this reason, the old Taoist priest specially asked Guo Tao to clean up a room. Anyway, for a while, several of his disciples may not be able to enter for the time being (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 101: Extraordinary Talent
We have reached the county seat.
In the hut at this time, Ji Yuan was sitting in front of the brass alchemy stove. The fire was already rising in the earth stove, sending out waves of heat.
Fortunately, the weather has entered autumn now, so I don't feel stuffy. On the contrary, I feel toasty and warm, which makes me feel very comfortable.
When announcing the retreat, he had already taken out some healing elixirs and handed them to Zhao Yuansong from Guo Tao to give to the seriously injured Zheng Wanrong.
In front of the alchemy furnace, he held a spiritual stone in his mouth, quickly kneaded the secrets with his hands, refined each medicinal plant, purified the essence, and then carefully fused them together.
It wasn't until night fell and the bright moon hung high in the starry sky that Ji Yuan spat out the spirit stone in his mouth and let out a long sigh of relief with a tired look on his face.
Although he had already had the experience of refining the Water God Pill, it was still very difficult to make the elixir this time. The complicated steps and techniques were nothing, mainly because the injuries in his body were still very serious.
But fortunately, it went smoothly, and there were no mistakes along the way. It only needed to be warmed by civil and military fire for one night, and the furnace water magic pill was completed.
Looking at the furnace of Water God Pill in front of him, Ji Yuan still felt a little emotional. If it weren't for this pill, his injuries would not have become more serious. But it was precisely because of this pill that he was able to save several years of waiting.
After the injury is healed, you can successfully enter the second level.
With so many blessings and misfortunes interdependent, it's hard to say which one is more serious.
After all, although monks are not like warriors, they pay attention to being young and energetic, and breaking through quickly when the vitality and blood are strong. Otherwise, once the vitality and blood are weak and declining, it will be extremely difficult to get closer.
However, people have a limited lifespan in this life. If they can break through earlier, they can have more years to try to climb to the top of the mountain, or even take a chance on the possibility of standing above the clouds.
"Whatever you want to do, since it has already happened, just accept it."
Ji Yuan laughed mockingly and then closed his eyes in front of the alchemy furnace.
The mental formulas of the Xuantian Dao Sutra appeared in his mind, and he began to use the little energy he could mobilize to refine the remaining water god pills in his belly little by little.
And as the elixir was refined, a stream of incense and will power rose up and submerged into his purple mansion and soul, while the remaining pure spiritual energy quietly dispersed into his limbs.
skeleton.
It was not until the night passed that Ji Yuan refined the few remaining water god pills. When he opened his eyes, the rich water vapor on his body was restrained and introduced into the depths of his body and flesh.
After a while, he saw that the water god pill that had been kept warm all night was still a little short of heat before it could be turned on. He pondered for a while and then took out a small seven-story tower.
This small tower is only a few inches long and is as black as ink. Just by holding it in your hand, you can clearly see the ferocious ghosts with ferocious faces through the windows on the tower.
This object was naturally the magic weapon held by Shen Lang. After his death, Guo Tao picked it up and handed it to him after he regained consciousness.
Now that Shen Lang has passed away, this treasure has naturally become an ownerless thing. However, it is a magic weapon, and it is difficult for non-monks to refine it.
"If possible, I will find a master of weapon refining when I have the opportunity to see if I can recast it. At least I will remove the demonic energy from this body and the evil spirits in the tower..."
Looking at the small tower in his hand, Ji Yuan couldn't help but have a somewhat complicated look on his face.
If possible, he naturally didn't want to sell this treasure. In any case, it was kept by Shen Lang. He wanted to keep it by his side so that he could have some thoughts about it.
Regardless of all the evil things that person has done, there is still an unforgettable memory between the two of them.
"Master!"
Outside the door, Zhao Yuebai's voice came softly.
Ji Yuan put away the emotion in his heart, turned his hand and put the seven-story magic tower into Qiankun in his sleeves, and then slowly stood up and opened the door of the house.
Not long after, the master and apprentice were sitting opposite each other across a wooden table, staring at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange for a moment.
Maybe even he didn't expect that he would suddenly have an additional apprentice. In the past, he always felt that he had to wait until he was the same age as his master before he could do it, right?
Although Zhao Yuebai has long accepted the fact, every time he sees his master, who is not much older than him, he always feels (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 101: Extraordinary Talent
It will give rise to some wonderful feelings.
"In these days, I will explain the Xuantian Dao Sutra to you."
After a long silence, Ji Yuan finally spoke slowly.
Although he had taught Zhao Yuebai the Xuantian Taoist Sutra and the route of the exercises earlier, he did not mention the meaning of the sutras. Superficial practice is naturally possible, but if you want to go deeper, you need to study continuously.
The advantage of having an inheritance is that you can have the experience of predecessors as a reference, or even have a master teach it yourself, which can save you a lot of effort and prevent you from making a mistake in understanding and taking a detour.
This is why even though Yamazawa Yexiu got the technique by chance, it is still difficult for him to go far on the path of cultivation.
Even if most of the wild cultivators were lucky enough to obtain a profound Taoist method, the result was that the teachings became more and more outrageous. The last disciples and descendants only had a few fragments left in their hands, which still differed from the core meaning of the original method.
Very far.
Once you take a detour, you will discover it within a few years if you are lucky, and if you are not lucky, you will find it decades later and there is no turning back.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuebai immediately sat upright with a serious look on his face, unwilling to mishear a word of what the master said.
When Ji Yuan saw this, he coughed twice, recalling in his mind how his master once explained Tao Zang to them, and then he explained it word by word.
Because it was his first time to explain the exercises to his disciples, and without any experience, he could only explain what he had understood step by step from shallow to deep. Some of the things that were slightly difficult to understand would be explained a little bit.
Make a little metaphor.
However, what was surprising was that, whether it was because he spoke well or for some other reason, Zhao Yuebai seemed to be able to understand easily, and the whole process went extremely smoothly.
At first he thought it was Yue Bai who was holding him back. Although he didn't understand in his heart, he made it clear on his face.
But as Ji Yuan continued to explain, Yue Bai almost subconsciously started to run the mental formula in his heart. With the explanation he just heard and his own understanding of it, the aura on his body was condensing rapidly.
stand up.
The foundation of the state that was forcibly improved due to the hundreds of years of cultivation and vitality of the old locust tree was also quickly stabilized. In just half an hour, it was already no worse than a monk who had practiced for several months.
In some respects, it may even be worse.
Under such circumstances, how could Ji Yuan not realize that he had really found a treasure!
At first, I only thought that Zhao Yuebai would be able to become a monk in the third realm in the future with the "gift" left by the old locust tree after his failure to seize the body.
Now it seems that both himself and Zhao Yuansong and others have seriously underestimated his own talent.
However, after pondering for a moment, Ji Yuan understood the reason. If Yuebai's talent was insufficient, he would not have been selected by Zhao Wuhen, who would have kidnapped Yuebai's biological father and mother.
When two hours passed, the sermon was finally over for the time being, but it had emptied out most of his insights.
Zhao Yuebai was also fascinated by what he heard. He was still shaking his head when he left the hut. It would take him a long time to roughly absorb these things.
As for whether it can be completely absorbed and then transformed into one's own realization and understanding, it will take even longer time.
But Ji Yuan had a vague feeling in his heart that this day should come soon.
"How can you feel that by accepting a disciple, you are trapping yourself?"
He sat cross-legged on the bed, with a strange look on his face.
According to the current trend, I am afraid that within a month or two, I will be in a situation where I have nothing to teach, and my apprentice’s understanding surpasses that of the master.
To be honest, this situation is not uncommon among monks, especially within the big sects. Some talented disciples can surpass themselves in a short period of time, both in terms of cultivation and understanding of Taoism.
A little master.
But no matter how you say it, it will take several years, even more than ten years. After all, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible for you to surpass others' decades of hard work in just one or two years.
But the situation of their master and apprentice pair is a little different. Although both of them are very talented, Ji Yuan has only been practicing for more than a year after all, and most of his previous energy was spent on refining alchemy and making talismans.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)

superior.
This also resulted in that his own understanding of the Xuantian Dao Sutra was not very deep. If he continued at this rate, his reserves would soon be emptied by his disciples.
"No, you are still a master after all. You can't be confused by your own apprentice!"
Ji Yuan murmured to himself in a low voice, and a fierce look appeared on his face.
Anyway, I couldn't practice, so I began to think of the contents of the Xuantian Dao Sutra in my mind, devoted myself wholeheartedly to it, and began to study it carefully.
After this enlightenment, several days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, in addition to refining two furnaces of elixirs to strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body, he had been studying the Xuantian Dao Sutra with all his heart.
It can be said that Ji Yuan has never had such a time to work so hard. Amidst the inexplicable pressure of being afraid of being overtaken by his apprentice, his understanding of the technique has become deeper and deeper.
The accompanying benefit is that his realm has become more solid. Not only has he gained a new level of understanding of the enlightenment realm, but he has also accumulated a solid foundation for the next spiritual realm.
And Zhao Yuebai did as he expected. He initially absorbed and digested those insights in just a few days. When he preached again a few days later, Ji Yuan was no longer the only one to speak. He would also put forward his own opinions and doubts in a timely manner.
At the same time, in just a few days, Yuebai had completely stabilized the state of the early stage of enlightenment, and even took a big step towards the middle stage.
Of course there is the mystery of the Xuantian Dao Sutra, and the hundreds of years of cultivation left by the old locust tree are indispensable, but the most important thing is his extraordinary talent, a true seed of cultivation.
