Chapter 16: Gathering Spirits and Assessment
At this time, Lu Yu's injuries had recovered halfway, and his strength had also recovered a lot. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info much easier to do than half a year ago.
The two of them joined forces, and the efficiency of their work was quite good.
Especially the iron head, probably because of the excitement and excitement, he works extra hard and fast.
When all the work was done, the sun was still hanging in the western sky.
It was still early before dark.
After cleaning up, Lu Yu called Tietou to the house and began to teach Tietou some cultivation skills.
The reason why Lu Yu waited until now to teach Tietou these things was not because Lu Yu intended to hide his secrets, but because at this stage of comprehending the aura of heaven and earth, he could only rely on Tietou's own efforts, and outsiders couldn't intervene at all.
What Lu Yu wants to teach Tietou now is how to use the aura of heaven and earth more efficiently, form his own Dan Yuan faster, and better succeed in gathering spirits.
And these things can only come in handy when the iron head really takes the first step.
If Lu Yu had taught Tietou these things before, it would have distracted Tietou's energy.
Gathering spirits is the first threshold on the road to cultivating truth, and it is also the key to whether or not you can cultivate the truth.
Gathering spirits is not just a matter of perceiving the aura of heaven and earth, nor is it a success if you form a Danyuan. Instead, it is necessary to take the formed Danyuan as the core and condense into a cyclone in the dantian.
Only in this way can the formed Danyuan really have a foundation and can exist in the dantian for a long time.
If you can't complete this step, even if the Dan Yuan is formed, it will be rootless water, and it won't take long to dissipate.
There was once a predecessor who made such an image analogy. If we compare our dantian to land, then danyuan is the seed. Only when the seed is integrated with the soil and carefully watered can it grow into a towering tree.
Otherwise, the land will always be the land, and the seed will only be the seed. Not only is it impossible to grow into a large tree, but it will also wither and dissipate in the wind and rain.
Therefore, the formation of a cyclone is a sign of the success of the spirit gathering.
Lu Yu had previously practiced the Demon Gate Technique of Wanwu Valley, and he had already formed a Demon Gate Cyclone in the dantian, and his cultivation had even reached the high level of Gathering Spirits. In addition, Lu Yu has been taught by many top masters, including his father Lu Xuefeng, and he can be regarded as experienced in this aspect.
It was too easy to use Lu Yu's knowledge to teach the iron head who didn't know anything about cultivation.
After teaching Tietou some experience, Lu Yu took out the "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" and explained it to Tietou word by word.
The meaning of "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" Lu Yu has already explained it to Tietou many times. What Lu Yu wants to talk to Tie Tou now is to use this exercise to absorb and guide the aura of heaven and earth, form Dan Yuan, and complete the process of gathering spirits, all kinds of situations that may arise and the corresponding countermeasures.
Lu Yu had encountered these situations many times in his cultivation for most of the previous half a year, and the corresponding methods were also tried by Lu Yu in practice again and again.
In terms of cultivation, Lu Yu's qualifications were originally good, and the Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll was not a profound cultivation method in the first place. So Lu Yu is very handy when he does this.
When Lu Yu finished talking about all this, it was already a bright moon hanging high and the stars were shining in the sky.
For such a long time, not only did Lu Yu's mouth dry when he spoke, but Tietou was even more dazed by such a large amount of information.
However, Lu Yu didn't let Tietou take these notes, so he could only memorize them by rote.
After this pass, the iron head is more tiring than a day's work.
Lu Yu, who poured a large pot of water into his mouth that was about to burst into flames, took a slight breath, and then said to Tietou: "Tietou, I'll talk about this today." After you go back, think about what I said, and use it as a reference when you cultivate in the future, it should be of some use. ”
"But you have to keep in mind that everyone's path to cultivation is different. What I am talking about today is just my personal feelings and family words. If you encounter any unexpected situation in the future, don't force it, let alone copy what I said. If you really don't know how to solve it, stop and talk to me. I'll teach you how to do it according to your actual situation. ”
"Have you written down all of what I said?"
Iron Head nodded his somewhat dazed head, indicating that he had written it down.
It can be seen that the iron head is already very tired. After a busy day, Lu Yu himself felt quite tired.
But in the end, Lu Yu still had to tell Tie Tou.
"Iron Head, you have to pay attention. Now there is only a little more than a month left before the annual assessment. You have to hurry up and cultivate during this time. Even if you can't succeed in gathering spirits, you have to condense Danyuan. Only in this way will you be able to get a good score in the assessment. ”
Lu Yu and the others have been coming to the Nine Xuan Palace for more than half a year, and the annual assessment of the Nine Xuan Palace will be held in more than a month.
This kind of assessment is aimed at all the disciples of the Nine Xuan Palace. Among them, there are also miscellaneous servants such as iron heads.
There are hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous servants in the Nine Xuan Palace, and if each miscellaneous servant has to be assessed once, the workload is too great. Therefore, the assessment of miscellaneous servants is voluntarily signed up by miscellaneous servants, and the content of the assessment is the cultivation status of the "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll".
If you can feel the aura of heaven and earth through the Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll, it means that you have the possibility of cultivating the truth. Although the sect will not directly remove you from your status as a miscellaneous servant, it will give you corresponding preferential treatment to make your life better.
In the annual assessment, there is not a single person like this out of a hundred miscellaneous servants.
If you can go one step further and condense the Dan Yuan, then it means that you can really cultivate the possibility of even greater. The sect generally gives special care to these people.
Such a person may not be able to produce one out of a thousand miscellaneous servants.
If you can take this step completely and succeed in gathering spirits, then you can ascend to the sky in one step, get rid of your status as a miscellaneous servant, and become an official disciple of the Nine Xuan Palace.
There are hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous servants in the Nine Xuan Palace, and there are only a few dozen who can take this step every year.
Although the probability is extremely low, in any case, this is an opportunity in front of everyone. If you catch it, you will be very different from before.
Even if you lose, it's not a big deal.
Because of this temptation, every year, many people who have not even felt the aura of heaven and earth run to fill up the numbers.
The purpose of these people is not to pass the assessment, but more to stand on the same stage with those who may become the pride of the sky in the future, so as to put gold on their faces.
If Tietou hadn't taken this step, it is estimated that he would have become one of them.
Fortunately, the iron head already has hope of success, and it is not small.
As soon as he heard the word assessment, the iron head in his heart, who was already eager to try, instantly sobered up, and the feeling of dizziness before immediately flew out of the clouds.
After the iron head nodded solemnly, he asked Lu Yu in turn: "Brother Lu, you really don't plan to participate in this year's assessment." ”
Lu Yu nodded decisively.
Because the assessment of miscellaneous servants is carried out on a voluntary basis. If Lu Yu didn't want to go, then no one could force him to go.
Although he already knew Lu Yu's attitude, Tietou was still very puzzled by this.
"Brother Lu, why are you doing this?"
"Brother Lu, although you didn't even choose the miscellaneous servant at the beginning. But after such a long time, I have already seen it clearly. You are much more powerful than me, and I even feel that you are even more powerful than Brother Qiang. With your ability, as long as you go to the assessment, you will definitely be able to get a good result. In this way, you will not have to live this kind of hard life again, let alone be ridiculed and bullied by others. ”
"And I've heard some people say that if you're lucky, maybe you'll be directly favored by some elders! This is a good opportunity to climb to the sky, why don't you go?"
Listening to Tietou's doubts, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that Lu Yu did not dare to go.
According to Lu Yu's understanding, compared with other assessments, the assessment of miscellaneous labor is a key point every year.
As a handyman, without anyone to teach him, he relied on this lowest-level "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" to successfully gather spirits and embark on the path of cultivating the truth by himself. Such a person is definitely a talent.
This is the so-called heaven rewards hard work!
From the beginning, he was reduced to a miscellaneous servant, and such a person may have some problems with his qualifications. But as long as he can take this step, his perseverance and heart are enough to cover up all his shortcomings.
It is precisely for this reason that the assessment of miscellaneous labor every year attracts the attention of many people. Some sect elders would even appear in person.
And the dozens of miscellaneous servants who really pass the assessment every year will become the fragrant bait of the palaces of the Nine Xuan Palace.
Even for those who have not succeeded in gathering spirits, if you can get the attention of an elder, it is not impossible for them to be taken away exceptionally.
It is this possibility that makes the current Lu Yu dare not go.
He is the only son of the valley lord of Wanwu Valley, and he used to practice the most authentic demon sect exercises, and he still has the palm power of the Dao master in his body, and he ......
In short, I have too many secrets to expose.
His injuries are still not healed. Demon Gate Danyuan curled up in the corner of the dantian, although he was dying, he couldn't hide it. As long as someone carefully investigates, everything about Lu Yu will have nowhere to hide.
If you go to the assessment yourself, you will inevitably perform. If it catches the attention of those elders, who can be sure that their secrets will not be revealed.
Although the Phantom Spirit Jade is very effective, no one can guarantee that it will work, and in the face of absolute strength, any disguise is in danger of being seen through. And as long as the slightest hint of his secret is revealed, he will never recover.
The temptation to pass the assessment is not small, but if you want to make a bet with your life, Lu Yu will still choose to give up. Although life is a bit difficult now, there is no immediate danger.
Besides, as long as the iron head performs better in the assessment, his life will improve.
So why should you take this risk when you are not sure?
What's more, Lu Yu already had a rough calculation in his heart, a guess that didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
Lu Yu had a lot of worries in his heart, but he couldn't talk about these problems with Tietou.
"Iron head, listen to me, I have a reason for doing this. ”
Although the iron head respects himself very much, he is also a persistent person. If he is not given a reasonable explanation, he will inevitably speculate wildly, and it is easy to lead to chaos.
