Volume 1 Chapter 5 Inheritance of Taoism
The old man who attracted the thirty-six Nine Heavenly Dragons was already a genius that was rare in three hundred years.
So, what is Lin Yang, who attracted eighty-one Nine Sky Dragons?
The old man really couldn't think of any other word to describe him than 'demon'!
"It actually attracted the eighty-one Nine Sky Dragons who secretly combined the number of ninety-nine...... It's incredible, it's really incredible! It seems that this kid is indeed a demon-level character who has only been born once in a thousand years!"
The old man turned around and looked at Lin Yang's eyes, which shot out two scorching rays of light, as if he had seen a treasure of the Golden Mountain.
"I didn't expect that in the process of fleeing, I would still be able to yujian such a shocking piece of jade. If he is willing to worship under my Abyss Sect, he will definitely be able to pass on the Dao of my sect. Maybe, it will be able to spread out and rejuvenate my abyss. In this way, I can be regarded as having an explanation for the previous generations of teachers in the sect......"
Originally, the old man who just wanted to teach Lin Yang a set of ordinary exercises to end this fate started to think of accepting apprentices at this moment.
Moreover, the thoughts of this apprentice are really out of control, and they can't hold it anymore!
The change in the old man's attitude is normal, and any cultivator at this time can't wait to accept Lin Yang as an apprentice. That is, now there is only one cultivator in the presence of the old man, otherwise, there will be a quarrel over who is more qualified to accept Lin Yang as an apprentice, and even directly use force to fight you to the death.
You must know that this cultivator pays the most attention to the inheritance of the Taoist system.
Many times, they would rather die than find a suitable person to pass on the Dao lineage.
Let's ask, who would not like a demon-level figure like Lin Yang, who has only been produced in a thousand years and has high qualifications and great potential?
The old man was very good at cultivating his qi, and he quickly calmed down. Ignoring the abnormalities outside, he closed the curtains with his backhand, walked back to the hospital bed quickly, pointed at Lin Yang's eyebrow point with his right index finger, and called softly: "Wake up." β
Lin Yang, who was asleep, actually opened his eyes.
"Why did I fall asleep?" Lin Yang was a little embarrassed, his face full of confusion.
The old man didn't tell him what had just happened, but said, "The Soul Forging has been successfully completed, and your qualifications are far beyond my expectations. So, I plan to change the previous arrangement. Now, I will give you two choices: First, as I said before, I will teach you a set of ordinary soul cultivation exercises and soul awakening techniques. 2. Worship me as a teacher and become a disciple of the Abyss. I will pass on all what I have learned all my life to you without reservation, so that you can inherit my Taoism!"
"I'm going for the latter. Lin Yang said without hesitation.
"Don't be in a hurry to make a choice, listen to what I've to say. β
The old man waved his hand, signaling Lin Yang to be calm and not to be impatient.
"If you worship me as a teacher and become a disciple of the Abyss, you will face a lot of troubles and dangers, and even lead to death! β
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Yang couldn't help but recall the scene when he was Yujian last night.
At that time, the old man was covered in bruises, as if he had been tortured by Ling Chi. It can be seen from this that the old man is not alarmist at this time, but telling the truth.
Choosing the former, of course, is not dangerous. But with just a set of ordinary soul cultivation techniques, it may not be an easy thing to cultivate to the Listening Qi Realm to learn the Soul Awakening Technique.
But if he had to choose the latter, although the chances of him cultivating to the Qi Realm to learn the Soul Awakening Technique had greatly increased, it was destined to be a dangerous path full of thorns and thorns!
To fight, or not to fight?
Lin Yang fell into deep thought.
The old man didn't rush him, waiting for an answer.
The intensive care unit fell silent.
Lin Yang didn't think about it for too long, and after a few minutes, he made a decision, and knelt down in front of the old man: "I beg the old gentleman to accept me as an apprentice, even if the road ahead is thorny and difficult, I will go and break through!"
The old man did not rush to agree, but asked calmly, "Have you thought it through?"
"Think it through. Lin Yang's tone was very appreciative.
"Good, good, good. I didn't expect that I, Lu Wenqi, would be able to receive an apprentice with extraordinary talent and qualifications on the way to escape. It seems that this is the immortal abyss of the heavens!"
A relieved smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he reached into his arms, took out an inky black jade slip, and handed it to Lin Yang.
"In this jade slip, it not only contains all the exercises and techniques of my abyss lineage, but also my insights from my cultivation over the years. Although I have taken you as an apprentice, I do not have the time and energy to teach you. What's more, if I stay with you, I'm sure I'll bring you trouble, which is not what I want. So, in the days to come, it's up to you to figure it out. However, the path of cultivation is originally 'the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual'. Only the Tao that you have explored and comprehended by yourself is your Tao!"
Lin Yang nodded yes, took the inky black jade slip, and studied it over and over in his hand. But I just can't figure it out, where the magic and cultivation experience can be seen on this ordinary, not even a single carved jade slip.
"You don't see Jade Jane that way. Lu Wenqi shook his head and smiled, and then taught Lin Yang the method of using his divine sense to check the contents of the jade slip, and asked him to try it immediately.
For ordinary people, using divine sense to view the contents of jade slips is simply a mysterious and impossible thing to do. But for Lin Yang, who has successfully forged his body and soul, it is not a problem.
After several failures, Lin Yang quickly figured out the trick of manipulating his divine sense, and successfully injected one of his divine senses into the inky black jade slip in his hand.
"Wow......"
After using his divine sense to see the situation inside the inky black jade slip, Lin Yang couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
He never imagined that inside this small, palm-sized inky black jade slip, there was actually something different.
In this space of tens of square meters, there are countless books and bamboo slips.
As soon as his divine consciousness approached, these books and bamboo slips would automatically open. However, what made him wonder was that some of these books and bamboo slips recorded the content, while others were blank.
Lu Wenqi's voice reached his ears at this time: "I have cast a small spell on this jade slip, so that you can only see the exercises and spells that can be cultivated at the moment. Those that have no content will not be revealed until you have reached the appropriate level of cultivation. I did this because I was afraid that you would not measure your own strength, and you would take the liberty of cultivating a spell that you could not control at the moment, and end up in a miserable end...... Okay, you can take back your consciousness first, and it's not too late to look at the research later. Now, let me explain to you the basics of the practice and the situation of my Abyssal Lineage. β
"Yes. β
Lin Yang answered, retracted his senses, and sat down to listen carefully.
Knowing that time was pressing, Lu Wenqi didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point:
"According to the level drawn in the "Jing Yuan Branch of the Altar", the cultivation is divided into nine grades, and because every three grades will usher in a calamity, it is called three tribulations and nine grades. The nine products, from bottom to top, are: Xinzhai, Yuandu, Tingqi, Shoujing, Bigu, Fetal Breath, Neidan, Yuanshen and Xiaoyao ......"
"Soul cultivation is a vein, and soul power is used to replace aura for cultivation. In today's shijie, the aura is getting thinner and thinner. As a result, more and more cultivators began to dabble in soul cultivation. Although the cultivation methods are different, there is one most basic and important thing, which is the sameβthat is, collecting ghosts!"
"There is a popular saying among the people, called 'people raise jade and jade raise people'. It is said that there are some jades, which are worn on the body for a long time, which can not only make people feel refreshed, but also have the effect of prolonging life and retaining youth. In fact, it is not the jade that has this effect, but the ghosts that inhabit the jade!"
"As we all know, after death a ghost comes a ghost. After becoming a ghost, they either fall into reincarnation within seven days, or they stay in the human world temporarily because their wishes have not been fulfilled. If the latter is the case, a host is required. Among the many parasites, jade and some ancient antiques are the best. Parasites of other materials, such as plants, trees, iron, and stone, will be rendered useless in a matter of days, months, and years. At that time, the ghosts that inhabit it will not be able to escape the fate of a soul that is scattered and completely eliminated. β
"Soul cultivators, in addition to refining their own soul fire, also have to collect suitable ghosts and settle them in the 'Jade Mountain' made by secret methods. With the help of the magnetic field reaction generated by the souls of both sides, a win-win effect is achieved for one person to raise ghosts and ghosts. β
After explaining the basic knowledge of soul cultivation to Lin Yang in general and answering a few related questions raised by Lin Yang, Lu Wenqi sighed faintly and began to talk about the situation of the Abyss.
"The reason why my abyss suffered the disaster of annihilation was because of the Dongyue Huangquan Sutra. This set of soul cultivation exercises was discovered a few years ago by us, together with several soul cultivation sects, in an ancient ruin in the southwest that enshrined the Great Emperor Dongyue. What is strange is that in this set of carefully protected "Dongyue Huangquan Sutra", the exercises recorded are very ordinary, and there are many errors and omissions. If you really want to cultivate according to it, not to mention half the effort, it is easy to go mad. So, from the day we got it, we put it on the shelf. But just a few months ago, there was a sudden rumor that we had obtained a powerful ancient technique in the Abyss! So, the sects that had been traveling with us in the ruins came to the door and asked to see the true face of the Dongyue Huangquan Sutra......
Lin Yang listened attentively and blurted out: "Since this set of exercises is ordinary and wrong, let's show them." β
"Didn't we do that at the time......" Lu Wenqi sighed, his eyes full of anger: "However, those sects don't believe that what we took out is the real Dongyue Huangquan Sutra, not that we are fooling them with a fake, and the two sides quarreled over this matter." When I arrived in Zuihou, those few sects actually united and suddenly killed my abyss......"
The experience of the abyss suffering the catastrophe, Lu Wenqi said very briefly, but Lin Yang was still able to imagine the tragic scene at that time from those few words!
