The climate of Wutong Town is very unique, fragrant sycamore flowers bloom all year round, originally this was not the same as Ye Xiu's cognition in his previous life, but at this time, looking up at the falling flowers on the tree, Ye Xiu suddenly found that he had unconsciously become accustomed to everything around him.

At this time, it was the fourth month after Ye Xiu's success in "entering the Tao with talismans", and in the past four months, he had comprehended all the more than a dozen talismans in the talisman shop at a miraculous speed, which made the always leisurely Li Laodao smack his tongue and call Ye Xiu a demon.

And in the process of contemplating these talismans, Ye Xiu's perception and absorption of the surrounding aura became faster and faster, and his cultivation in the Dao Realm could be regarded as completely stable.

However, the more he improved his cultivation, the more curious Ye Xiu became about the world outside Wutong Town, and he began to look up at the sky for a long time, thinking inexplicably.

In the entire town of Wutong, apart from him, there were only two cultivators.

One was a blacksmith Zhang who entered the Tao with a sword, but unfortunately he left Wutong Town the day after entering the Tao.

The other is naturally Li Laodao, but unfortunately Li Laodao has never talked to Ye Xiu about his cultivation, and in addition to making talismans on weekdays, he has never shown any Taoism in front of Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu only occasionally listened to the old lady in the grocery store next door, and when he counted down Li Laodao, he once mentioned a sentence:

"The old man is not serious, he knows how to drink all day long, no wonder he is still a Taoist boy when he is old!"

But with the attitude of giving it a try, Ye Xiu still asked Li Laodao some questions about cultivation, and unexpectedly, Li Laodao changed his previous informality this time, and answered Ye Xiu one by one:

First of all, there is a question about the speed of cultivation, and Li Laodao's explanation is that the speed of cultivation depends on the abundance of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the external environment, and the cultivator's perception of the heaven and earth Dao method.

The aura of heaven and earth exists in all things in the monastic realm, including the five basic attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and some special auras evolved from the five attributes of aura.

After a cultivator enters the Tao, the body can begin to absorb the attribute aura that he has perceived, and the distribution of aura in all things in heaven and earth is not uniform, some special locations such as volcanoes, glaciers, etc., or some special items such as gold stones, spiritual trees, etc., contain different attributes of aura.

Those who have comprehended the Dao method of the corresponding attributes, in places where the aura of the corresponding attributes is strong, or have been assisted by the heavenly and earthly treasures containing the corresponding aura, will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Another factor that affects the speed of cultivation is a better understanding, the more types of Heaven and Earth Dao Dharma you comprehend, the more types of Spiritual Qi you can absorb!

The so-called innate Dao body is born with this advantage, and when it is born, it can perceive a certain attribute aura and absorb it, which is also the case for most cultivators.

Of course, the innate Dao body is also divided into many kinds, and according to the depth of the Heaven and Earth Dao Law that is naturally comprehended, it can be divided into four types: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang.

Most of the innate Dao bodies are ordinary yellow-level Dao bodies, a few geniuses have Xuan-level Dao bodies, and earth-level Dao bodies are geniuses among geniuses, who will trigger visions of heaven and earth when they are born, and the heaven-level Dao bodies are demonic characters that exist in legends, the real darlings of the heavens.

Then when talking about the heavenly and earthly treasures that could increase the cultivation speed, Li Laodao found a fluorescent stone out of nowhere and threw it to Ye Xiu, and the stone contained a rich unknown aura.

Although Ye Xiu has only initially comprehended the three attributes of fire, water, and wood, he also has a certain understanding of the other attributes of aura, and the aura contained in this fast stone does not belong to any of the five basic attributes aura, but he can actually absorb it!

According to Li Laodao, this kind of stone is called a spirit stone, which contains an aura called "attributeless aura", for this attributeless aura, any cultivator, no matter what kind of attribute Dao he has comprehended, can absorb it.

Because of this characteristic of the spirit stone, it has become the common currency of the cultivation world, and the gold and silver that Ye Xiu saw before were just circulating among mortals.

Of course, because there is no clear definition between the cultivation realm and the mortal realm, the spirit stone also has a certain circulation in the mortal realm, and about one hundred taels of gold is equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone.

As for what is a low-grade spirit stone, Li Laodao talked about the classification of spirit stones, according to the amount of spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone, the spirit stone is naturally divided into low-grade spirit stone, medium-grade spirit stone, high-grade spirit stone, and the legendary best spirit stone.

What Li Laodao threw to Ye Xiu was naturally the lowest-grade low-grade spirit stone, but even so, this small stone was also worth one hundred taels of gold, and Li Laodao actually threw it out casually, which really made Ye Xiu a little impressed by it.

Finally, the topic that Ye Xiu is most concerned about, how strong is a cultivator?

After ten years of getting along, Li Laodao could naturally see that Ye Xiu, who seemed to be quiet on the outside, had a burning heart of a strong man in his heart, which was also the reason why Ye Xiu was so eager to cultivate the Dao Law.

So Li Laodao introduced the hierarchical division of the cultivation world to Ye Xiu in detail: cultivators can be divided into five realms: Dao Tong, Daoist, Daoist, Daozong, and Daozun.

After entering the Tao, he stepped into the realm of Dao Tong, and by constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and comprehending the Dao Law, Dao Tong could finally condense the Dao heart at the center of the eyebrows, and having the Dao heart meant that the cultivator officially entered the Taoist realm.

Starting from the Taoist realm, each great realm is divided into three grades, the difference is that the color and number of dao patterns displayed on the heart of the dao are different, the dao realm is blue dao pattern, the dao master realm is purple dao pattern, the dao realm is golden dao pattern, and the dao zun realm is red dao pattern.

Between the various realms, because of the difference in the Dao heart, the power of the Dao Technique is also very different, the Dao Tong Realm can only perform some small Dao techniques such as fireball technique and water arrow technique, but the Dao technique performed by the strong Dao Sect can move mountains and seas, and the Dao technique released by the legendary Dao Venerable powerhouse can even be compared to Tianwei! Of course, this is not Ye Xiu's current realm, which is understandable.

Of course, the ascension of the realm is naturally extremely difficult, not only need to absorb a large amount of heaven and earth aura, but also need to comprehend enough morality to be able to break through, so most cultivators will choose to go to the world to experience after entering the Tao, one is to obtain more heaven and earth aura (such as heaven and earth treasures, or cave heaven and earth blessings), on the other hand, it is to comprehend morality through experience.

After saying all this, the sky was getting dark, and Li Laodao uncharacteristically did not let Ye Xiu go to drink for himself, but carried the wine gourd and coaxed the small winding path to go out, leaving Ye Xiu alone to ponder in the courtyard.

Sleepless all night, Ye Xiu stood quietly under the tree like this, thinking about Li Laodao's introduction to the cultivation world just now, in his previous life, he could only live in his own imagination, but this life is different!

In the early morning, a falling flower hit Ye Xiu's head impartially, pulling it back from infinite reverie, looking at the lower grade spirit stone that was still tightly held in his hand, Ye Xiu smiled, he suddenly understood Li Laodao's intentions, at this moment he suddenly doubted the words of the old lady in the grocery store next door, is this Li Laodao, who has been with him for ten years, really just an old man who can only drink?

"Is it decided?"

An old and familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, but today it seemed to be different from usual.

Ye Xiu found out that Li Laodao was lying on the rocking chair where he was resting on weekdays at this time, and he was so engrossed in thinking about it last night that he didn't even find out when he came back.

"Hmm!"

Ye Xiu responded softly, but found that on the stone table next to the rocking chair, a burden had already been placed, and ten years of tacit understanding instantly made Ye Xiu understand something, his eyes were moist, and he looked at Li Laodao who still hadn't opened his eyes gratefully, bowed deeply to him, and then strode towards the door with the burden on his back.

Just as Ye Xiu was about to walk out of the gate of the small courtyard, Li Laodao's voice came again:

"Xiao Yezi, you came from the east that day, and today you went to the east to find opportunities!"

Listening to Li Laodao's words, Ye Xiu hummed heavily again, and went out towards the east.

After a long time, Li Laodao opened his eyes, his eyes that were slightly yellow on weekdays were extremely deep at this time, his eyes looked to the east, and he sighed leisurely:

"The eagle that should have soared in the nine heavens should not be trapped in this small corner..."

He got up and took a sip of the wine in the gourd, and then disappeared into the Wutong Courtyard, and he disappeared so naturally, as if he had never appeared here...

Ye Xiu has always been a decisive person, since he decided, he no longer hesitated, and walked towards the east for half a day, and then went out of the boundary of Wutong Town, at this time it was close to noon, Ye Xiu found a clean boulder next to a cool stream, and sat on it to rest.

At this time, he had time to check the burden that Li Laodao gave him, the burden was not big, and after opening it, he found that there was an off-white Taoist robe inside, a dozen yellow-level blank rune papers, a rune pen, a map, and some simple dry food.

The gray-white Taoist robe, Ye Xiu had seen it when he was sorting out Li Laodao's clothes before, and Li Laodao told him that this dress was called a dust shelter clothes, and it was a Taoist weapon.

The principle of making Taoist tools and talismans is similar, and the cultivator burns a certain amount of heaven and earth laws on some special items through special means, so that this item has a special effect, and then it is made into a Taoist weapon.

Under the urging of the aura, the Taoist instrument can be used to show a certain Taoism, according to the different qualities, it is divided into four categories: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, and each category is subdivided into upper, middle and lower three products, this dust shelter is a yellow-level lower grade of the Tao, in addition to having a certain defensive power, under the injection of spiritual power, it can also shield the surrounding wind and dust and rain, which is a necessary thing for Taoist cultivators to go out to practice.

Ye Xiu hurriedly changed into a dust shelter on his body, came to the stream and looked at his reflection in the water, and found that this dress was surprisingly suitable for him, not only the size was tailor-made, the color and style were particularly in line with Ye Xiu's temperament, simple but wise, but this dress he had obviously seen it in a few years, Ye Xiu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Li Laodao was ready at that time today?

I looked at the blank rune paper again, it was not the ordinary rune paper that Ye Xiu usually used to cultivate, but the genuine yellow-grade rune paper, a total of thirty-six, which made Ye Xiu feel moved again.

Although the runes depicted by ordinary rune paper will also have a certain effect after being injected into the runes, the effect will be greatly reduced compared to the real yellow-level rune paper!

And with the passage of time, the effect of ordinary rune paper will be lost quickly, mainly because ordinary rune paper is not enough to withstand the laws of heaven and earth contained in the rune, and only by drawing the rune paper of the corresponding level will it exert 100% of the effect of the rune.

However, the price of yellow-level rune paper is also relatively expensive, so most of the runes sold in Li Laodao's rune shop are drawn on ordinary rune paper, but there are not many real yellow-level runes.

As for that rune pen, Ye Xiu is very familiar with it, it is the one that Li Laodao uses to draw talismans on weekdays, according to Ye Xiu's guess, this talisman pen should be a Taoist weapon, because Ye Xiu has occasionally used it secretly a few times, every time he mentions this talisman pen, there will be a clear flow into the sea of knowledge, and drawing talismans will also get twice the result with half the effort.

It's just that Li Laodao usually seems to care about this pen very much, and he doesn't let Ye Xiu use it, so Ye Xiu has never had the opportunity to ask him about the origin of this money, but he didn't expect that at this time, Li Laodao actually gave it to himself like this!
