In the solemn ancestral hall, the fourteen disciples of the twenty-seventh generation of Qingyang Guan were lined up in two rows, receiving a lecture from the teacher.

Their arrangement is more special, with four people in the front row and ten people in the back row, which not only reflects the differences between each other, but also reflects the spirit of the second goods of the math teacher who died early.

"Jasmine, be serious, I'm listening to the rules!"

Wu Xie was almost amused by Jasmine's words, and hurriedly warned her not to speak again, lest she couldn't help but lose her temper when she was solemn.

If you are expelled from the division because of your gaffe at this time, it will be really wronged!

However, he also felt very curious in his heart, among the four people in the front row, he was said to have been selected by Mr. Hun Tian as the head of the disciples of this generation on the spot, Luo Yu and An Ziqing are both disciples of the family with deep backgrounds, but what is Yi Yi Wei ranked here?

Recalling Yi Yi's style that was incompatible with others, he was not very surprised, just curious.

The lengthy door rules are finally finished, and Wu Xie briefly summarized it, which is roughly "to take the right path, don't do those crooked things, and bear more responsibilities as a decent immortal cultivator", but there are no particularly harsh terms.

Then, the disciples stepped forward one by one, and the teacher gave them the introductory Dharma instruments and encouraged them one by one.

Wu Xie was naturally the first to step forward, but the things he sent were exactly the same as others, all of them were a volume of Qingyang talismans sealed with twenty-four spells, a bottle of Suxin Pill that could clear the mind and calm the mind, and a bladeless short sword that revealed layers of cloud patterns, and at a glance, he could know that the Dao was extraordinary.

After the whole set of rituals was completed, the ancestors left separately, leaving only a few uncles and uncles of the twenty-sixth generation to take them to do some of the remaining things.

They followed a Taoist with the Dharma name Cangyunzi to receive the robes, all of which were pale cyan robes, without any patterns from head to toe, simple and generous.

Wu Jie's robe was slightly different from the others, the cuffs and hem were painted with patterns, a golden-red flame and an ink-colored book, and the patterns were not large, each pattern was no more than half the size of a thumb.

He inquired curiously, and learned that the rules of the original Qingyang Temple were very special: no matter how old the disciples were, how advanced they were, and how senior they were, they must wear solid-colored robes. Only when you have some special achievements, or have a special status, you can get the corresponding decorative pattern.

For example, the decoration on his clothes, the flame symbolizes his status as a senior brother of his generation, and the book symbolizes the merit of his book "On the Germs". Of these two patterns, the book is in accordance with the rules, and the flame is determined after someone came to ask him yesterday, and he was still very strange at the time, asking him why he asked, "If you choose a logo for yourself, what would you prefer?" ”。

"I see!"

He sighed, and then naturally noticed that Daoist Cangyunzi's dark cyan robe did not have any decorative patterns on it, except that the color was darker, it was no different from those new disciples behind him.

Cang Yunzi obviously noticed his eyes, smiled slightly, and explained: "Although I have many disciples of Qingyang Guan, there are very few who can really make meritorious achievements and get the honor of adding patterns to the robe. There are only seven disciples in our generation who have this honor, collectively known as the Seven Masters of Qingyang—haven't you all seen them all during the entrance assessment? ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect them to have such a big background! Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, An Ziqing was already protesting: "Can you not delay time!" Get down to business first and then ask if it's okay! ”

It can be seen that he is really anxious.

Wu Xie didn't bother to be angry about this little thing, so he didn't ask anymore, and led everyone through several portals according to the guidance of Daoist Cangyunzi, and came to the front of a quaint attic.

On the plaque in the attic, there are three big characters of "Library Building". When he saw these three words, Wu Xie clearly heard Luo Yu and An Ziqing's breathing at the same time a little shorter, obviously quite excited.

The person guarding the library is a Taoist master with the Dharma name Sanyunzi. His beard is all white, and he looks old, but he is quite flexible in his actions, which shows that his Taoism is quite profound.

Sanyunzi obviously knew their identities and intentions, and took them up to the third floor of the library building, and at the same time gave each of them two jade slips, one red and one cyan.

"The red jade slip is relatively advanced, and can record any text, and is suitable for transcribing the major exercises you intend to learn; The cyan jade is a little worse, and it can only record the lower level of the classics, which is for you to transcribe the minor exercises. Sanyunzi explained to them, "Each person can only copy one major and one minor, and they can't chew it out if they are greedy - all the exercises on this floor are enough to be used as major exercises, and the minor exercises will be selected after going to the second floor." ”

Wu Xie agreed in unison, and then each took the jade slip to find an exercise that suited his own mind.

At this time, Luo Yu and An Ziqing had already run towards a bookshelf in unison, they were so eager that they couldn't even care about politeness.

All bookshelves are labeled with the names of the books they record. If the disciples are interested, they can also pick up the classics and flip through them - in fact, most of these classics are wordless heavenly books, just like the "Taishang Treatise on Innocence", which records the experience of the author.

Wu Xie noticed that Luo Yu and An Ziqing were both rushing to a classic called "Taishang Nine Zhuan Dan Sutra". And the two of them didn't hesitate, they both directly took out the red jade slip and chose this exercise as their major.

"May I ask if there is anything special about this 'Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra'?" He asked curiously.

"This exercise was written by the patriarch after listening to the sermon under the Heavenly Immortal Gate, and its source is exactly the same as the Taishang Innocence Theory, which is the method left by that Heavenly Immortal." Wu Jie's identity is special, Sanyunzi is simply ready to answer, and his attitude is very polite, "Among the ancestors who have ascended in the past dynasties of this sect, the two amazing talents who have achieved the Jindan Avenue are not concerned for the time being, and the rest of the people who have returned to the Dan Eight Turns and Seven Turns, the vast majority of them are practicing this exercise. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, including Wu Jie, they put down the classics they were studying and looked at the book that was very ordinary no matter how they looked.

It is such an exercise that has achieved the prestige of the ancestors of Qingyangguan in the past dynasties!

Many people immediately walked over there, planning to choose this exercise as their major like Luo Yu and An Ziqing.

This approach did not surprise Sanyunzi at all, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, senior nephews! Although this Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra is profound and mysterious, it is not without other clever exercises in this sect - to be honest, the cost of cultivating this exercise is quite high, so you should think about it carefully! ”

"The price? What is the cost? Wu Xie couldn't help but ask.

"This practice emphasizes 'taking the mind as the fire, the body as the tripod, the heart as the medicine, and the soul as the guide', and through continuous analysis of oneself, and constantly deepening the grasp of the true self, so as to keep getting closer to the avenue, it is indeed perfect in terms of design. But it has a huge problem—if the cultivator is not a person with extraordinary talents, his entry will be relatively slow, and it is very likely that he will be at the end of his lifespan before he has time to achieve cultivation......

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and pointed at himself: "You see, I am the one who cultivates this exercise. Now I am almost two hundred years old, but I have only passed the two levels of innate and through, and seeing that Shouyuan will gradually exhaust his qi and blood, I will probably not be able to pass the level of refining and forging the body, and the achievements in this life can only end here......"

"It's not that I'm bragging, when I started, my qualifications and talents were among the top among my peers. If it weren't for the cultivation of this exercise, but for things like 'Aoki Longevity Technique' and 'Shouyi Condensation Yuan Wonderful Method', although I dare not say that I can achieve the Returning Dan, at least break through the three realms of the Dao and refine the Gang Qi to achieve a leakless and ageless body, it should still be no problem. ”

"Not to mention that after refining the Gang Qi, you can fly away from the sky and be free, just by achieving a leakless body, you can have a lifespan of more than four hundred years!"

He sighed incessantly, his expression full of remorse.

With the example of Sanyunzi in front, many people who are not so confident in their qualifications have chosen to give up, but there are still several people who gritted their teeth and chose the Taishang Nine Turning Dan Sutra as their main exercise.

The clay was clever, and asked directly to Sanyunzi: "Uncle Shi, can you tell me which of the exercises here is the easiest to cultivate and achieve, and can you get the longest lifespan?" ”

Sanyunzi smiled when he heard this, and pointed to a bookshelf: "That must be Aoki's longevity formula, although after practicing this exercise, both the supernatural power and the skill are so bad that it is unsightly, but only the two points of 'simplicity and longevity' are absolutely fine!" Not only are the disciples who cultivate it easy to achieve something, but at the same level, Shou Yuan is at least half more than that of ordinary monks! ”

The clay suddenly lifted his spirits and went straight to the "Aoki Longevity Formula".

Inspired by him, the disciples asked Sanyunzi for advice and put forward their goals. Sanyunzi is really worthy of being the predecessor of the library building, and he is familiar with the various exercises here, no matter what kind of question, he can give a good reference answer.

After a while, except for Wu Jie, everyone had chosen their major exercises. Among them, there are still many Taishang Nine Zhuan Sutras, and the rest of the various exercises are almost the same, and there is nothing particularly outstanding.

Wu Xie watched everyone choose their major exercises, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. He was going to choose the Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra like Luo Yu, but Jasmine dissuaded him in his heart.

"Master! I'm afraid this technique is not suitable for your temperament! ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"Didn't the Taoist priest just say that this exercise is the same way as naivety, and it must also require people to eliminate all kinds of desires and pursue their own hearts. Master, you are definitely not the kind of person who can eliminate all kinds of desires, and you may not be able to practice this exercise! ”

"Do I look like rotten wood that I can't carve?"

"It's not about qualifications. I ask you, if you see a fierce beast eating people, a bully committing murder, will you be angry? ”

"Of course I'm angry!"

"That's not the end of it. I don't think you can practice this anger anymore, so you probably won't be able to practice this technique! Jasmine confidently concluded, "Actually, this exercise is really not interesting. People live in the world, why do they want to cultivate immortals? Isn't it just to get a strong amount of power and then do whatever you want? When you see good things, you rob them, and if you see something that doesn't please your eyes, you kill them, so you can live like a person! Even the desire has been abandoned, what is the difference between that and a stone! ”

Wu Xie did not approve of her morality, but she persuaded him to give up the idea of cultivating the Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra and instead considered something else.

The question is...... He didn't know what exercises he wanted to practice, so he had to wander through a large number of classics and read them one by one.

Sanyunzi was not in a hurry, and the rest of the disciples were not in a hurry - they were concentrating on studying the jade slips of the exercises they had just arrived, and they didn't bother to care about anything else, not to mention that Wu Xie was looking for a suitable classic here, even if he turned his head and whirled here, he would probably only be ignored.

Wu Xie searched for a long time, and finally found a technique that was more in line with his taste on the bookshelf near the end, called "Lingxiao Fire Department Rectification Method".

In this red book, it is recorded that by constantly improving the fighting spirit and courage, the flame in the heart will burn more and more, and finally the whole person will turn into a heavenly fire, and even be able to resist the thunder tribulation without the help of any treasures and forcibly ascend.

Not only that, but this exercise also boasts that "there are thousands of exercises in the world, but whoever points directly to Jindan Avenue, if you talk about winning the battle, I am the second, who dares to be the best!" ”

With such a powerful and domineering exercise, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel good about it immediately. However, he didn't make a hasty decision, but went to consult Sanyunzi first.

"Oh...... You're talking about this 'Lingxiao Fire Sect Fa-rectification'! This exercise is also said to have been handed down from the upper realm, but unlike other exercises, it is said that this exercise was created by a group of fighting gods in the upper realm who are particularly good at fighting and are keen on slaying demons and eliminating demons. There have also been people in this sect who have cultivated in the past dynasties, but their achievements have not been very great...... An ancestor who later ascended to Heaven once carefully consulted it, and finally said, "If you can't burn the righteous qi and anger in your chest into a divine fire that destroys demons and exorcises evil spirits, then there is absolutely no possibility of cultivating this exercise." ”

"Senior nephew, do you think, who can cultivate into a divine fire, doesn't it already have its own major cultivation? Even many people have already done a lot of it. If they are asked to abandon their past practices and start all over again, who wants to? ”

When Wu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that this exercise is really suitable for me!"

As he spoke, he spread out his palm, and a golden-red pure yang true fire in his palm was burning silently.
