The book is about two fingers thick, with yellowed pages and slightly torn edges.

Ji Yuan rubbed the writing gently, and a strange touch like gold and iron came from his fingertips, especially when he brushed the four words 'Great Dao Brief', there was an indescribable and unclear mysterious feeling rising from his heart.

Since he became enlightened and embarked on the path of cultivation, this book of the Great Dao Brief left by the ancestor appeared in front of him on its own, and it was with this book that he was able to practice a superb alchemy and talisman making skills.

At this time, the crisis is lurking, and no one knows whether the person who is secretly plotting will ignore the attitude of the imperial court and liquidate those who have sabotaged their century-old plan.

In this way, it is naturally not daring to meditate and practice, and as for the alchemy talisman, he can't calm down for the time being, so he plans to consult this book.

As the pages of the book turned, many runes quietly appeared on the wordless yellowed paper, and every stroke contained Taoist rhyme, just a glance made people fascinated.

This book is not a magic weapon, but it is better than a magic weapon, I don't know how to write a book, it contains countless Taoist rules, it has no attack or protection ability, but it can be for the reader, showing the most suitable Tao rhyme.

This ability alone is enough to make the value of this book comparable to the legendary magic weapon, if it is known to the outside world, even the famous factions will give up their faces to fight.

You must know that only when a monk enters the realm of the enlightened path can he have initial contact with the rules of the Tao, which is why this realm is often called the realm of contemplation of the path.

But even if a monk who has cultivated to the realm of the Ming Dao, it is not said that he can watch the Dao rules at will, and all kinds of opportunities and spiritual objects are indispensable, so that he can catch a wisp of the Dao rules in the heaven and earth and do not know whether it is suitable for him.

And this Great Dao Brief can make Ji Yuan, who is in the Enlightenment Realm, directly look at the most suitable Dao rules for himself, and its value can be imagined.

At this time, as the book is opened, the rhyme of the Tao is natural on the page, and it is interpreting a Dan Dao.

It doesn't teach any alchemy, but just uses the most basic runes to present the subtle Dao rhyme in an easy-to-understand way in the eyes of the viewer.

Ji Yuan was fascinated by it, a simple basic rune, just a simple arrangement, can form a completely different meaning, and the Dao rhyme released made him even more immersed.

By the time he came to his senses, two or three hours had passed, and the moon was hazy outside, with only a patch of starlight.

After a little hesitation, Ji Yuan did not include the Great Dao Brief in his hand into the white jade flying sword of the Purple Mansion in the center of his eyebrows, but used a technique he had learned from this book to include it in his sleeve robe.

He pushed the door open and walked straight to the stove room across the door, and in a few moments a table of food was ready.

Compared to yesterday and this morning, this evening meal was extraordinarily rich, in addition to the fragrant Ling rice, there were also two meat and vegetable dishes, and a large pot of hot soup.

The old Taoist priest had already smelled the fragrance, and at this time he was sitting at the dining table, with a large bowl of spiritual rice in his hand, and began to savor the craftsmanship of the little apprentice.

It's just that Ji Yuan complains a little, because the old man is so old, but he can still make materials that only pick meat dishes to eat, and don't look at a single chopstick.

"What about the fifth senior brother?"

Ji Yuan glanced at Master's room, and then asked out loud.

The old Taoist priest didn't look up, added another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then said vaguely: "You, the fifth senior brother, have a talent in cultivating the Tao for the time being, but the roots and bones of martial arts are surprisingly good. ”

Zhang Zhiya looked up at his room, his face became a little strange, and under the questioning of his little apprentice, he slowly explained the afternoon's events.

Originally, he called Guo Tao to teach him the secret of enlightenment, but the other party asked if there was any martial arts, and said that he would prefer to take the path of martial arts.

The old Taoist priest had no choice but to take out a book, put a thick layer of ash on the shelf, and handed it to the five apprentices who looked eager.

To be honest, even the old Taoist priest himself didn't know when he collected this Jianghu martial arts called 'Dragon Elephant Gong'.

A down-and-out Taoist temple master, the collection will naturally not be a peerless martial arts, but even Ji Yuan has roughly heard of the reputation of this 'Dragon Elephant Gong'.

This was originally a famous family in the world, and one of the fundamental martial arts inherited, but later, with the collapse of this sect, coupled with the difficulty of cultivating this exercise, it finally became an almost rotten street.

Some of the simplified and deleted 'Dragon Elephant Gong' can be bought for two or three dollars of silver in any county town, and sometimes they are even given as gifts or as an add-on to a large number of guests.

It's just that although the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' is widely spread, it is almost never heard of when it is really practiced.

First, this exercise has been simplified and deleted many times, and second, the difficulty of cultivation is really too great.

"Senior brother has practiced?"

Seeing his master's strange expression, Ji Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems that he didn't expect that this notoriously difficult martial arts technique could really be practiced by his own senior brother.

"Not really, but it's true."

The old Taoist priest put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and his face was full of emotion when he mentioned this matter.

Who would have thought that it would take Guo Tao, who spent more than two hours just to memorize the opening method completely, but when he tried to run the exercise for the first time, it only took a few breaths to enter the state, and then it ran smoothly for a small week.

"This Guo Tao, I haven't found out before that the qi and blood in the body are so vigorous."

Zhang Zhiya couldn't help but sigh.

The most difficult part of cultivating the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' is that the cultivator's own qi and blood must be very strong and vigorous, and if the qi and blood are insufficient, it will be difficult to complete even a small week, let alone cultivate in the future.

It's just that the amount of qi and blood depends entirely on a person's innate roots, unless there are rare spiritual objects, it is difficult to increase how much qi and blood they have before they cultivate.

And Guo Tao belongs to that kind of person, the blood is very vigorous in the first day, and he can run a small Zhou Tian with great ease, so that the cultivation of 'Dragon Elephant Gong' can be regarded as entering the door.

"That's really ...... What a surprise! ”

Ji Yuan didn't know what to say, originally he had already prepared, looking for an opportunity to go to Mingxinxuan and buy a martial arts exercise book for the fifth senior brother, which was not bad.

Now it seems that there is no need for this, although the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' belongs to the rotten street exercises, but that is only talking about its popularity.

In fact, even if this exercise has been simplified and deleted many times, once it has been cultivated, it is far beyond the ordinary small sect and small sect of the town school martial arts.

After returning to the house, Ji Yuan picked up the bronze oil lamp from the table, and after three hours, this magic weapon had filled up the lost aura, and as his mind moved, a cluster of flames spontaneously ignited on the wick.

At the same time as this flame appeared, his state of mind quickly calmed down, and the worries accumulated throughout the day seemed to disappear in an instant, and his originally somewhat drowsy mind became clear.

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan put the bronze oil lamp on the bedside table, took off his shoes and socks and kneeled cross-legged on the wooden bed, and then placed the long sword he was carrying on his legs.

When he placed his hands on the head and tail of the long sword, and his eyes were gently closed, he immediately entered a mysterious state.

In this state, Ji Yuan only felt that his soul was wrapped in warmth, and there was an indescribable comfort, and at the same time, two jade slips quietly appeared in his mind.

One is engraved with 'Xuantian Dao', and the other is engraved with 'Xuantian Sword Technique'.

This is the inheritance of the Xuantian Temple, called the 'Xuantian Dao Sutra', except for a core mental formula, which has been imprinted in his sea of knowledge, the entire 'Xuantian Dao Sutra' is divided into two jade slips at the moment.

Ji Yuan's consciousness hesitated slightly, and then he chose the second jade slip, and in an instant, the content of the entire sword technique appeared in his mind, which he could browse at will.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was dawn, and after finishing a night of cultivation and enlightenment, the little Taoist priest pushed open the door.

However, as soon as he reached the door of the stove room, he saw a scene that made him jaw-dropping.

I saw a tall but emaciated figure, squatting in the corner of the stove room, holding a rice jar, almost burying his head in it.

In the clear morning, Ji Yuan could even hear the sound of uncooked spiritual rice being bitten and swallowed.

"Fifth Senior Brother!"

He was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted, and hurriedly took a few steps to the tall and thin figure.

This person is none other than his fifth senior brother, Guo Tao, who has practiced the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' all night!

It's just that the image of being tall and burly is a little different from usual, Guo Tao is thin at this time, and only the bone frame remains, and the Taoist robe on his body is no longer small, and even a little wide.

"This fool, I almost didn't practice myself to death when I practiced, and I ran the Dragon Elephant Gong all night, for three big weeks!"

In the corner, Zhang Zhiya's voice came out slowly, full of helplessness and sighing.

When Ji Yuan heard the sound, he saw that his master was squatting in the corner, his old face was full of sleepiness, and at this time, he was looking at Guo Tao who was holding the rice jar and eating wildly.

It can be seen that this old man has not slept all night, and he has even been anxious all night, lest his apprentice practice will practice him to death.

It is conceivable that the old man must have been, watching Guo Tao grow from a tall and burly man little by little, and finally lose weight into this appearance.

Ji Yuan secretly smacked his tongue, although he didn't see the process with his own eyes, he also had palpitations, and this was one of the places where the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' was difficult to cultivate.

In the early stage of ordinary martial arts, the qi and blood in the body are warmed and nourished, and they are used to beat their own flesh and skin, so that they can contain more essence and qi as the cultivation food of the next realm.

However, the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' is a different way, and every Sunday, it will absorb the cultivator's own qi and blood, so that it can be combined with the essence and qi, and accumulate in the depths of the body.

Only when the cultivation reaches a certain level will the qi, blood and essence accumulated before be released, so as to feed back the body and body to break through the realm in one fell swoop.

In this way, it is necessary for the cultivator to constantly replenish his own losses, and it must be an ingredient containing spiritual energy, or assisted by an elixir such as a solid foundation peiyuan.

Otherwise, there will be a situation where you will train yourself to death.

For example, Guo Tao, the fifth senior brother in front of him, almost practiced all his qi and blood, leaving only a withered body.

"Senior brother, don't eat Ling Rice, take these pills quickly!"

Ji Yuan wanted to pull away the senior brother who was hugging the rice cylinder, but no matter how hard he tried, he even used the essence in his body, but he could only make the other party's body shake a little.

In desperation, he could only stuff a few pills in the porcelain bottle directly into Guo Tao's mouth, and let him bite and swallow them along with his mouthful of spiritual rice.

Half a moment later, Guo Tao, who had swallowed several pills, breathed a sigh of relief, and the abundant medicinal power in his abdomen finally made him no longer feel so hungry.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Ji Yuan's mouth twitched, this kind of pill that strengthens Peiyuan, if an ordinary person swallows one, it is enough for three days and three nights without eating, but for his senior brother, it seems that it just makes him less hungry.

"Senior brother...... Anything else? ”

Guo Tao got up from the ground with difficulty, looked at Ji Yuan with unfinished eyes, and subconsciously licked his chapped lips.

The pill I took before was not only able to fight hunger, but also seemed to taste very good, sweeter and more delicious than the candied fruit in the snack shop.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan's eyes immediately darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot, he pointed at his senior brother, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

After a long time, he threw out two or three porcelain vases, and then walked out of the stove room with a depressed face, standing in the small courtyard and looking up to the sky and sighing.

As soon as he thought of his senior brother's need to cultivate the 'Dragon Elephant Gong' in the future, Ji Yuan felt that his heart was aching faintly, how many furnace pills had to be refined to make up for the loss!
