In your province, a valley covered with mountains and forests, there are several wooden houses.

The wooden house still looks a little new, and it should not have been built for a few years. There are several large and small wooden houses, surrounded by a fence wall. A vegetable garden has been carved out in the courtyard, which grows lush during the valley's still somewhat shady season.

"Master, Xuan Qi is not dead, Yang Gu does not exist, how should I understand it?"

In the wooden house, two cultivators, one old and one young, dressed in kudzu robes, sat opposite each other. The young practitioner has a thirst for knowledge: "The disciple has been enlightened for a long time, but he has not gained the slightest comprehension..."

"Xuanqi is empty, and Yang Valley is practicing. Reiki liquid, Jin Dan can be..."

The old man stroked his beard and patiently explained the way of cultivation to his disciples: "Accept the spirit into a cloud, condense the spirit into a liquid, and condense the liquid into a pill." It is not easy to practice, it is difficult to achieve enlightenment, and it is difficult to become an immortal against the path. Red dust cultivates the mind, wilderness cultivates the will, and ascends to the sky in one step..."

The young cultivator's face was a little dazed, he looked at the old man and shook his head: "The disciple didn't understand..."

"Your cultivation is still shallow, just practicing the Qi realm, and when you succeed in condensing the pill, you can understand. ”

The old man advised: "Practice step by step, don't be impetuous, you need to follow the step-by-step, polish every realm to perfection, in order to be able to go further and have a more promising future." If you are impetuous, and every realm cannot reach perfection, you may have an unstable foundation, and if you want to go further in the future, you will have to pay a hundred times, or even be difficult to break through for a lifetime. ”

The young man's face was cloudy, he looked at the old man with some hesitation, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master, why don't you promise Mr. Lingyun that we will go to the island in the middle of the lake together?"

"Azure..."

The old man's face changed, and he was a little worried: "These are not what you can imagine..."

"Is the island in the middle of the lake too strong?"

Tian Qing frowned: "According to the disciple's knowledge, the current sect leader of the island in the middle of the lake was injured by a mysterious figure, and now he is going out to find the heavenly treasures that arrange the formation, what is the purpose? Isn't it to resist the Alliance of Cultivators? If the island in the middle of the lake is really stronger than we imagined, why should Zhang Daoran do more?"

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and the Cultivator Alliance has sent out many disciples to listen to the truth and reality, but I learned from the disciples of Lake Island that Zhang Daoran has gone out until now and has not returned. If nothing else, I should have fled a long time ago..."

Tianqing was very disdainful: "With dozens of people, resist tens of thousands of cultivators and demons, unless Zhang Daoran is an immortal... Otherwise, the island in the middle of the lake is a mantis arm as a car, and it is not self-sufficient. ”

"Do you think Midlake Island is going to lose?"

The old man shook his head: "If you think so, you are wrong. Tianqing, as the teacher said, everything can't just look at the surface. With your current vision, you naturally can't see it. The island in the middle of the lake can be famous all over the world, not because of the large number of people, but because of the infinite mystical Taoism. It is rumored that Sanqingguan Zhang Zhenren preached, just like the gods teaching the law, and the saints preached, and the end was very mysterious, which benefited people a lot... It's just a pity that when we came to Earth, Zhang Zhenren never preached again..."

"As for the Alliance of Cultivators, joining forces with the Demon Clan, it's just a group of short-sighted and ambitious people, joining forces with a group of crazy people..."A glimmer of light flashed in the old man's eyes: "The cultivators have always been inseparable from the Demon Clan, not to mention that the island in the middle of the lake is a holy place for cultivation, and they have no hope of victory." Even if the Cultivator Alliance, as well as the Demon Clan, can succeed, the final battle between the good and the devil will still be bloody. The cultivator violated the patriarch's teachings and joined forces with the demon clan, which was itself self-defeating..."

"But... There are so many strong cultivators... And the overall strength is stronger than the demons... These two forces are combined into one, and even in the Azure Star, they can run rampant. ”

There was a hint of desire flashing in Tianqing's eyes: "Master, they invited you to promise so many benefits. At that time, we will be able to choose from the blessed land, and this alone will be much better than our cultivation in this barren mountain and wild forest. ”

"You have taken a fancy to the elixir in their hands, right..."

The old man's face pale, and his tone gradually became serious: "Tianqing, as the teacher just said to you, cultivators need to take one step at a time, and they must not be reluctant to seek the near and far, and their minds are unstable. You are about to break through the Jindan now, and sooner or later you will be able to succeed in the Ning Dan. Crooked ways, aided by pills, will only damage your foundation. ”

Tianqing was very unwilling, lowered his head, and clenched his fists.

The old man continued: "You have just stepped on the peak of the Foundation Building Realm, and now you have to polish the realm, instead of thinking about breaking through. When the water is a matter of course, it can naturally be condensed. I think back then, I stayed in this realm for 17 years!"

"You said that there are many strong people in the Alliance of Cultivators, and the strength of the Demon Clan is strong, do you know what kind of cultivation realm Zhang Daoran is on the Island in the middle of the lake? In the end, the Demon Sect still fell into the hands of Zhang Daoran..."

The old man's heart palpitated, his eyes were full of horror, it seemed that Zhang Daoran hit the Demon Sect back then, and now he still remembers it vividly: "If this doesn't mean anything, you should know that the first god of the Blue Star is a heavenly machine, and the top three powerhouses in the strength of the Blue Star are also willing to worship the Three Qingguan and become Zhang Daoran's disciple, you should understand... Zhang Daoran has vast magical powers, and the Tao is mysterious, which is by no means false. Even if Zhang Daoran was injured, I'm afraid it was fake. ”

"The island in the middle of the lake is full of cultivators and secret agents of the demon clan, don't you know that they themselves have already been exposed in front of the island in the middle of the lake..."

Sighing softly, the old man shook his head: "As the teacher guesses, there is definitely a big conspiracy on the island in the middle of the lake, and the purpose is in the Cultivator Alliance and the Demon Clan!"

"If the island in the middle of the lake is so powerful, why don't you take the initiative to attack, but just defend?"

Tian Qing was very puzzled, but the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a trace of contempt: "This is a big loophole, if Zhang Daoran of Lake Island was really so powerful, he would have attacked everywhere a long time ago, first of all, he had to disintegrate the Cultivator Alliance and disintegrate the Demon Race, not defense..."

"This is very puzzling..."The old man groaned slightly: "Maybe it's like the teacher's speculation, there is a big conspiracy on the island in the middle of the lake." Not to mention Zhang Daoran's cultivation realm, just talking about the heavenly machine and calculating the heavenly machine, he will definitely understand what happened later. He alone can stir up the storm, at least the Cultivator Alliance, will be disrupted by him..."

"Alright..."

The old man sighed softly again: "Go steadily, so you won't fall into the pit." If you still have any questions, ask them now and help you answer them..."

Tianqing was silent for a long time before asking, "Master, then how should I polish my current cultivation realm?"

"Honghong is dark, the voice of the avenue, the sky is not to blame, and the earth is not feasible. The foundation of the Tao is not cultivated into emptiness..."

The old man was just about to answer his disciple's doubts, when suddenly, a faint voice came from his mind, which seemed to be thousands of miles away, and it seemed to be thousands of miles away. But it clearly appeared in my mind.

The sound was endless, like sweating profusely under the June sun, and suddenly I drank a sip of the cold spiritual spring.

It's like a cold winter in the wax moon, and suddenly a sip of hot wine anesthetizes the nerves.

In a state of confusion, the mind is lost, and it is about to drift away with this voice.

With a shake of his body, the old man's face changed drastically, and he woke up from this charming voice, and suddenly stood up: "Great Dao Teachings!"
