Chapter 3: Huang Tingdao
After Zhang Zhixuan finished his work, he hastily bid farewell to his seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengyao and returned to his cave mansion.
He unhurriedly opened a protective formation to isolate the cave secretly, and then gently took out a yellowed book from his arms, and his face showed a somewhat wry smile.
"It's been sixteen years since I was in this world, and I finally have a little understanding of this world. When will I be able to return to my hometown?
It is estimated that it will depend on this mysterious Taoist book. Zhang Zhixuan thought secretly in his heart.
Although Zhang Zhixuan has lived in this world for sixteen years, the soul in his body comes from the earth.
More than ten years ago, when he was still on earth, he bought an old book at the second-hand book market, and after a night of meditation, his soul traveled to this world and possessed this little baby.
Six years later, his memories began to recover, and he soon discovered that this Taoist book had followed him to this world.
This book is called "Huang Ting Taoism", which seems to be written by a Taoist person, and what it talks about is the subtle words of Taoism.
Even though Zhang Zhixuan has been familiar with this book for more than ten years, he does not know much about the content of the book.
But through years of reading this book, Zhang Zhixuan found that his memory is getting better and better, his comprehension ability is getting higher and higher, and even his understanding has also increased.
According to the estimation of the old man in the family, he was only a three-spirit root cultivator, and it was impossible for him to cultivate so fast.
But he has been studying this book for many years, although this Taoist book did not bring him supernatural powers, but he relied on better and better understanding, coupled with years of hard self-discipline and cultivation. On the contrary, the progress of his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and even a Second Spirit Root Cultivator would not be able to cultivate to the sixth level of Qi cultivation at his age.
The average Second Spirit Root cultivator of the Great Sect was around twenty years old when he had cultivated to the sixth level of Qi cultivation, and compared to them, Zhang Zhixuan was undoubtedly one step ahead.
He relied on Su Hui, not only cultivating earlier than others, but also working harder and self-disciplined than ordinary children.
After more than ten years, he has been ahead of the same spiritual root cultivator for more than ten years.
The Lushan Zhang family is the largest family of immortal cultivators near Lushan, and it has been inherited in an orderly manner for more than 400 years since the ancestor Zhang Tairen.
Four hundred years ago, the Zhang family settled in Lushan, after hundreds of years of operation, now the Zhang family has one monk in the foundation building period, more than 100 congenital and qi cultivators, and 30,000 or 40,000 ordinary people.
According to the genealogy, there are 12 generations of monks in the Zhang family, and they are sorted in order of Taichu Lemeng, Zhisi Tongyuan, and Guangsheng Zemao.
Among them, the second generation of monks has been completely seated.
The number of monks of the Lezi generation was the smallest, and most of them also sat down, and now only three survived.
In addition to the patriarch who has already built a foundation, the other two are already old and have now retired outside the mountain.
The monks of the Meng Zi generation are the backbone of the family, with a total of more than 30 people, most of whom are already in the middle and late stages of Qi cultivation.
The number of Zhizi monks is the largest, about more than forty people, most of them are not high in cultivation, and they are not very old, the oldest is only in their fifties, and many of them have not yet broken through the Qi cultivation period, and are spinning in the innate stage.
The number of Sizi cultivators was even smaller, now there were only eighteen people, the oldest was only twenty-three years old, and the highest cultivation had not broken through the innate ninth layer.
Until now, this generation of monks has not discovered highly qualified talents, and they have almost no voice among the family monks.
The Taoist book in Zhang Zhixuan's hand is called "Huang Ting Dao Treatise", and only he can read it by himself.
In the eyes of others, this Taoist book is also a big purple jade plaque, and the runes on it are so mysterious that they are not recognizable at all.
Because of this, when his father discovered this mysterious Taoist book, he believed that his son was born with a miracle and was the reincarnation of a high-ranking monk.
From then on, he did not look at him as an ordinary child, but carefully cultivated him, guiding him to read and write and meditate and cultivate.
After discovering this mysterious jade plaque, Zhang Zhixuan's father did not make a noise, nor did he tell the other monks in the clan.
also because of this mysterious jade card, he was named Zhang Zhixuan.
And the book "Huang Tingdao" that came with him in vain gradually showed a bit of a different color.
After his cultivation entered the Qi cultivation period, he finally comprehended the first spell Qi Containment Technique from inside.
This is a method of qi nourishment, which can refine the purple qi of the rising sun, which is used to warm the dantian of the flesh, dissolve the violent mana in the body, and reduce the danger of going mad.
In addition to Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation of this magic technique called the Qi Accumulation Technique, he has also cultivated three spells over the years.
These three spells are the Light Body Technique, the Fixation Technique, and the Golden Needle Technique.
The monk is in the innate stage, because he has not yet refined the aura, and he cannot cultivate any spells.
Monks in the innate stage, except for the advantages of physical toughness, strength, ears and eyes, and quick thinking, which are beyond ordinary people, cannot be much better than mortals.
If a mortal is dressed in sharp armor and armed with crossbow arrows, as long as dozens of armor soldiers step forward together, they can defeat ordinary innate monks.
And the monk has cultivated to the stage of qi training, because the meridians of the whole body have been opened, and he has been able to refine spiritual power, learn spells, and control magic weapons and spiritual runes.
At this point, the monk's ability has become extraordinary, and even if there are thousands of troops, there is often no way to deal with the monk.
For Qi cultivation period cultivators, their divine consciousness has not yet been transformed, their mana is still relatively weak, and there are very few spells that can be learned.
A first-level cultivator can only learn one spell, and each additional layer of cultivation can learn one more spell.
Zhang Zhixuan has now practiced the sixth layer of qi, and when he reached the peak of the middle stage of qi training, he could have learned six spells.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhixuan has been dedicated to improving his exercises over the years, and he has only learned three spells.
Compared with the middle-aged and elderly monks who are fellow practitioners, whether it is experience, spells, magic weapons, or spirit runes, Zhang Zhixuan has some gaps compared with them, and if he fights with others outside the mountain, he may not be able to protect himself.
"This time I went out of the mountain to complete the family task, and tried to choose a place close to the mountain gate.
First of all, you must familiarize yourself with the immortal cultivation world outside the mountain, and try to accumulate as much experience as possible.
The second is to go down the mountain to find out the cause of his father's death, avenge him as soon as possible, and fulfill his long-standing wish.
Thirdly, although the aura is insufficient and the cultivation is slow, it is necessary to have a solid foundation and learn a few spells to lay a good foundation for future cultivation and make up for your own shortcomings. Zhang Zhixuan closed the Taoist book and thought secretly in his heart.
He slowly carried the aura, ran the aura for twelve weeks, warmed the acupoints, stabilized his cultivation, and then opened the cave and headed all the way to the top of the mountain.
