The backyard of Baiyunguan is a quiet and elegant garden as a whole, and the name gathers in the garden, also known as "Little Penglai".

The center of the garden is the precept platform and the gathering mountain house, the ring platform is the mandala for the Taoist Quanzhen sect to teach the "three altars of the great precepts", and the gathering mountain house is the place where the Quanzhen Taoist lawyer preaches the scriptures and teachings to the ordained disciples.

It is generally closed to tourists, and it is a place where people from Baiyunguan live their daily lives.

In a remote part of the garden, a small room looked a little dark, as if a dark cloud was hanging over the room.

Call......

Suddenly the wind rose out of thin air in the room, and the low, high-speed air pressure seemed to form a tornado in the room, causing the doors and windows of the entire house to shake.

And in the center of the whirlwind, a tall boy is sitting cross-legged on a futon, and his body flows with Qi that is strong enough to be seen with the naked eye.

"Suck ......"

The boy suddenly gasped violently, and the surging power that permeated the room was immediately absorbed into his body like a tired bird returning to its nest, and even the originally gloomy house looked much brighter in an instant.

After a long time, the young man slowly opened his eyes after refining this part of his power into Qi again.

"It's not easy...... It's a primer. I didn't expect that I became a genius in two worlds, but I became a waste wood in this world. ”

This young man with a beautiful face is naturally Zheng Shu, and it has been fifteen years since he was carried back to Baiyun Temple by Xu Zhengning.

Zheng Shu has had a good life over the years, although Quanzhen is a born Taoist, and he can't eat meat except for the cumbersome rules, but Zheng Shu is quite suitable for such a life.

In addition to the necessary morning classes and practice, there is free time every day, because he is not very old, so the task of entertaining tourists does not fall on his head, which gives Zheng Shu more free time to ponder about the things of cultivation.

The tenet of Quanzhen Taoism is "the harmony of the three religions, the understanding of the heart, and the uniqueness of the truth", and the main classics are the Tao Te Ching, the Qingjing Sutra, the Filial Piety Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Fifteen Treatises on the Establishment of the Quanzhen Religion.

It is a Taoist sect based on the practice of Neidan, and it is inherited from Zhong Lu and two famous Jindan Taoist priests, characterized by heavy refining and cultivation, and light talismans.

Legend has it that Zhang Boduan became famous and sincere, and his masterpiece "Enlightenment Chapter" begins with "Woo Fu!" It's hard to get a person". And the gist of the whole article is that the human body is rare, do not practice messy things, but should take the right path of knotting Jindan.

And the Quanzhen Dragon Sect is to follow this guidance, the main cultivation method of Baiyun Temple is Neidan Kung Fu, advocating the dual cultivation of life, abandoning all the bells and whistles, the basic skills are extremely solid, blue and red, long-lasting resistance to beating, quite in line with Zheng Shu's taste.

However, when cultivating, Zheng Shu still encountered a lot of trouble.

As he had deduced before, the cultivation of Qi under one person was itself a cultivation of vitality, but here the vitality of living beings has another name: Innate Qi.

After being able to sense the Innate Qi, through various cultivation methods, the Inhumans can transform the Innate Qi into Qi with a certain special property and exert different effects.

Zheng Shu finished his foundation at the age of seven and was allowed to officially practice Nei Dan Gong, but it wasn't until last year that he barely got started.

Regarding the fact that Zheng Shu's cultivation was extremely difficult, the Dao Masters of Baiyun Temple were not surprised, because in their concepts, the cultivation of innate aliens was extremely difficult.

After all, the reason why innate aliens have abilities is because they are born with the talent of being able to transform innate qi into special abilities, and if the strength of the talent is relatively high, most of the innate qi that can be mobilized will be automatically converted into natural abilities by the body at the moment of birth.

Therefore, if an innate alien wants to cultivate the day after tomorrow, in addition to seeing whether the exercises are consistent with his own physique, he also needs to look at the strength of the ability.

If the strength of the ability is too high, and there is not enough Innate Qi to dominate, then it will not be able to cultivate.

Zheng Shu has shown a strong "innate ability" since he was a child, so although the Dao Masters of Baiyun Temple support him for wanting to cultivate, they don't have much hope.

Only Zheng Shu's own family knows about his own family affairs, and his own vitality or innate Qi is not less, and even more than most people.

The reason why he couldn't cultivate smoothly was just because he contained different innate Qi in his body.

Fortunately, there are enough Taoist classics and records of the cultivation of predecessors in the collection of the Quanzhen Sect, and after reading through these books, Zheng Shu also thought of a solution.

Strictly speaking, this method is not subtle, and it can even be regarded as quite crude, but it is quite effective for Zheng Shu.

The principle is very simple, since the reason for cultivation is caused by the conflict between multiple innate qi, then when cultivating, it is enough to exclude the hindered innate qi from the body, so that only one innate qi is retained in the body for a short period of time.

Of course, this method is simple to say, but there are all kinds of dangers and difficulties in implementing it.

If it weren't for Zheng Shu's enhancement of the three enhancement templates, and the enhancement template as a half-breed would still be able to quickly restore his vitality...... That is the so-called Innate Qi, it is estimated that he will lie down before he starts to cultivate.

After all, the reason why a master cultivator was able to perceive that his great life was approaching was because he could sense the innate qi in his body.

Once the innate qi is exhausted, even if there is no problem in the body, it will no longer be able to survive.

Therefore, even the most astute cultivator is cautious when dealing with the innate qi.

Not to mention taking the initiative to discharge their own innate qi, accidentally letting the cultivated qi emit out of the body during cultivation can make them feel distressed for a long time.

Taking the initiative to give up part of his own Innate Qi to strengthen his control over the remaining Innate Qi, such an "arrogant" and exaggerated cultivation method Except for Zheng Shu, other cultivators who dare to "try" will "die".

After all, not everyone is like him, who can use the enhancement template of the half-blood, and can rely on food to continuously replenish his vitality after the burst.

This made Zheng Shu sigh again, although it was quite average in terms of combat effectiveness, but in other aspects, the dragon bloodline of the dragon world was indeed quite useful.

In addition to the disadvantage of being particularly dangerous, another troublesome point of this cultivation method is that even if he ruthlessly expelled the innate Qi born from the Nemea lion and the half-breed into his body, the remaining innate Qi in his body would still be continuously transformed into Qi belonging to these two strengthening templates.

After all, Zheng Shu's strengthened enhancement template allowed him to obtain the corresponding properties himself, so in essence, these two kinds of Qi are also part of his body, and the difference between the three is not so clear.

This led to Zheng Shu's cultivation process, and he had to continuously excrete the Qi belonging to these two that was constantly transformed in his body.

Because the danger was too high, and the process of eliminating the innate Qi would also put a huge load on his spirit, he couldn't cultivate for too long each time.

So much so that even in the first few years, Zheng Shu was able to cultivate only a handful of Qi belonging to the Inner Dan Gong.

Moreover, after cultivating the Qi, Zheng Shu had to pay attention to its operation at all times, and not let the innate Qi in his body, which was too large, forcibly reverse this qi.

After saying this, the other cultivators probably thought that Zheng Shu was bragging, after all, there had always been only a lack of innate qi and no such thing as too much innate qi.

But for Zheng Shu, the innate Qi that others rarely seek is a renewable resource that can be continuously produced as long as he eats enough food.

After practicing so hard for seven or eight years, Zheng Shu finally completed the introduction of his cognition today.

Feeling the Qi from the smooth operation of the Neidan Gong in his body, Zheng Shu even burst into tears, the devil knows how difficult it has been for him to cultivate all these years.

But from today onwards, he could finally reverse this situation, after so many years of accumulation bit by bit, the Qi in his body had grown strong enough, to the point where he could forcibly suppress the conflicts of the various innate Qi in his body and forcibly refine them.

Normally, he ran a cycle of Nei Dan Gong in his body, Zheng Shu felt the Qi that was obviously swollen and full of emotion, he was finally able to start normal training.

Gollum......

The sound coming from his stomach brought Zheng Shu back to his senses, and after he relaxed his spirit, he immediately felt an overwhelming hunger rush over him, almost destroying his mind.

Sighing, along with Zheng Shu's mental activity, a large ball of compressed instant noodles appeared in his stomach pouch.

Feeling the lazy feeling coming from all over his body after eating, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, he now had some idea why the big spider in Ault looked so salty.

To put it bluntly, the alien creature of Oort is essentially the ultimate dead house that eats and sleeps and eats enough.

With enough food, it can stay in one place for hundreds or thousands of years.

But for Alter, who is so strong that even the original author has made it clear that he wants to dispose of this guy only Ultraman, there is food everywhere on the earth.

Throw a dead house into a room with unlimited food, internet, electricity, and mobile phones, unless someone runs into that room and beats the dead house, otherwise the dead house will basically not go out.

This was almost the state of Oalter at the beginning, and Zheng Shu was the one who ran into the room and beat him.

Although the residual effect of the mental distortion caused by the strengthening template of Aurther was a bit troublesome for Zheng Shu, it was easy to solve, but the effect was very light in his childhood, and the effect became stronger as he grew older.

Therefore, Zheng Shu still has a certain sense of crisis in his heart, and he is afraid that when he is old enough to reach a certain level, this desire will become too strong.

Fortunately, the impact at this stage is not very large, as long as there is enough food, he basically will not have any problems, of course, the disadvantage is that once he is too hungry, he will become a state of loss of mind.

If you are really hungry, Zheng Shu can really jump directly on the dining table 360° Thomas swirl to sweep a circle of dishes, and then pounce on the people at the same table to bite over directly, and the onlookers don't want to run away from the horse, they all gnaw, and they eat and eat and eat!

However, there is a skill provided by the panel, and the probability of such a problem is very low, so there is no problem in a short period of time...... Probably.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Shu stood up and came to the four corners of the room, where some plants were raised, but they were not anything special, they were vegetables grown in large pots such as apples and oranges.

The reason why these things are planted is also for "waste" utilization.

Although Zheng Shu relied on his own control every time after cultivation and forcibly recovered the innate qi that was excluded from the body, a large part of the innate qi dissipated in the process.

In order not to waste it, Zheng Shu simply planted fruits in a few corners of this room and let them absorb the innate Qi that he was overflowing.

After all, vitality is a great tonic for all living things, and Zheng Shu doesn't expect these overflowing vitality to make these plants have any magical changes, after all, pure vitality is at most just to promote growth for plants.

It's also good that these plants absorb a little more vitality and grow a little more robust.

Just like now, although the size is not too big because it has been planted for a few years, these fruit trees can already bear fruit all year round under the influence of Zheng Shu.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as enough fertilizer and water are given, these fruit trees can continue to grow fruit regardless of the season.

Knock knock.

"Senior brother, the supervisor is looking for you."

Zheng Shu had just picked a few ripe fruits when there was a knock at the door.

"Got it, I'll go right away!"

The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously, but he still answered loudly, put on his robe and walked out quickly.

The so-called supervisor is Xu Zhengning, who brought Zheng Shu back to Baiyun Temple, and is also his current master.

At the beginning, after Xu Zhengning completed the training, his cultivation grew rapidly, and he had surpassed all his peers in a few years.

Therefore, after the older generation of supervisors retired to retreat, he naturally took on this responsibility.

The reason why Zheng Shu was a little reluctant to see him was not because of his own master, but because of his master, that is, Xu Zhengning's master, the abbot of Baiyun Temple.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu couldn't wait to shake his mouth, since Abbot Xie Xin discovered the "talent ability" deliberately displayed by Zheng Shu, he didn't know where to find some friends of the same generation to show off.

In just a few years, Zheng Shu has recognized all the old antiques hidden in Baiyun Temple.

If it weren't for the fact that the Taoist priests in Baiyun Temple were all monks, Zheng Shu even suspected that his master still wanted to show him off to people outside.

Although it is not a difficult thing for Zheng Shu to mobilize the spirit to release the trial, every time he faces such a thing, he always has a sense of shame that his parents forcibly asked him to perform his talent in front of his relatives at the New Year's party.

Outside the door, a young man a few years older than Zheng Shu was waiting here.

His name is Huang Ming, and he is a newly recruited disciple of Baiyunguan in recent years, although he is a few years older than Zheng Shu, but because he joined Baiyunguan a little later, he has to call Zheng Shu a senior brother.

"It's been a long time, let's go, where are they, Master?"

After Zheng Shu closed the door, he threw Huang Ming an apple he had just picked.

"Senior Brother Xie! The supervisor and the abbot are waiting at the mountain house, so that you can hurry over. ”

Huang Ming looked a little happy after taking the apple, although Baiyunguan would not starve them, but because of the rules of cultivation, they ate coarse tea and light rice.

These little Taoist priests can't leave Baiyun Temple at will, so snacks like fruits are quite rare.

"Gathering in the mountain house? Is there anyone else but the abbot? ”

Zheng Shu was stunned for a moment, and then looked happy again, it seems that he doesn't have to perform his talent this time.

The mountain house is a place for the Taoist priests in the temple to do morning classes and receive ordination, not a place to receive guests, and it seems that this time his master and master should be looking for something else.

"No, it seems like it just called the two of us."

Huang Ming shook his head, looking a little worried: "Senior brother, did you say that it was because we made some mistakes that the supervisor came to us?" ”

"What are you afraid of, we are doing the right thing, we haven't made any mistakes recently, what are you afraid of."

Zheng Shu turned his head to look at Huang Ming, but found that the kid was already shaking like a quail with fear, and he was about to shrink his head into his clothes.

All right...... After all, Huang Ming is the most active age, and not everyone can really practice according to the rules of the view like Zheng Shu.

Although Zheng Shu is not very old physically, he is old enough mentally and has enough knowledge.

Therefore, although the young body will affect the mind to a certain extent, it can still endure its own temperament.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what did you do again?"

"Ahem...... Senior brother, I couldn't help it a while ago, so I asked someone to buy some fried chicken for me outside......"

Huang Ming looked at Zheng Shu cautiously, feeling extremely nervous.

Although it should be that he is a little older, Huang Ming always feels a sense of oppression every time he sees this senior brother of his, in addition to the taller figure of his senior brother, it is also because of Zheng Shu's character of absolutely abiding by the rules and precepts.

If a person simply relies on his high status and preaches to others, it will inevitably annoy people, but if that person can do all the things required of others, then as long as there is a certain sense of morality, there will be a certain sense of oppression in front of this person.

What's more, although Zheng Shu has always been strict with himself to abide by the rules and precepts, he is not too strict with others, coupled with his strong strength and gentle treatment, Zheng Shu is now the most prestigious person in the younger generation of Baiyunguan.

"You...... I know, don't worry, if the master really blames them, I will help you intercede. ”

"Thank you, brother!"

Huang Ming's face immediately brightened, and his steps became more brisk.

"This guy ......"

Zheng Shu showed an old-fashioned expression on his young face, shook his head kindly, and followed with a step.

……

……

"Master, I'm here."

Before gathering in the mountain house, Zheng Shu and Huang Ming first tidied up their clothes before pushing the door in, bowing to the two Taoist priests sitting on the two futons in the middle.

"Well, here we are."

Xu Zhengning sat on the futon and nodded appreciatively after watching Zheng Shu come in.

More than ten years have passed, Xu Zhengning is also close to fifty years old, because he has been dealing with the affairs of Baiyun Temple for a long time, and his face also has a little majesty.

But when he saw Zheng Shu, the majesty on his face was gone, and only kindness remained.

He is twelve points satisfied with this adopted apprentice, although he is not very old, but he can restrain his desires, and his understanding of the Tao Sutra is also unique, although his cultivation is not very smooth because of congenital alien reasons, but his strength is definitely not weak, and he is the strongest among the younger generation of Baiyun Temple.

"How have you been practicing lately?"

"I was just about to tell Master that today my Inner Dan Gong has finally officially started."

"Oh? Got started?! Ok, good, good! ”

Xu Zhengning's eyes lit up, and there was an expression of surprise on his face, originally he asked this was just a routine check, and he didn't expect his apprentice to get started.

After all, with the strength of Zheng Shu's innate ability, it may be much more difficult to get started than ordinary people.

Baiyun Temple is one of the three ancestral courts of the Quanzhen Sect, and it can already be regarded as the top force in the Quanzhen Sect.

There are nearly two hundred Taoist priests scattered and scattered to Baiyun Temple, but among these people, even if you count the old Taoist priests who have lived in seclusion and retreat, there are only sixty or seventy people who can cultivate Qi.

This ratio is low enough, after all, there are many Taoist priests who have been unable to cultivate Qi for a long time and will choose to return to the vulgar, or leave Baiyun Temple to serve as abbots in other small Taoist temples.

Therefore, among the hundreds of new little Taoist priests in each generation of Baiyun Temple, there are only more than a dozen people who can truly refine Qi.

You must know that these Taoist priests have been screened before entering the meditation, at least they are all talented people, but the proportion of people who can practice qi is still not much.

In fact, in the entire Inhuman World, the difference between the number of Inhumans cultivated and the Innate Inhumans is not too large, so in a sense, even the Inhumans cultivated after tomorrow can be called talented people who are different from ordinary people.

Therefore, Zheng Shu's ability to cultivate Qi is enough to surprise Xu Zhengning, although Zheng Shu's Qi has no way to provide him with strong enough combat power at this stage, as long as he continues to cultivate according to Nei Dan Gong and keeps polishing his own life, at least Zheng Shu's own innate ability can be enhanced at a faster speed than other innate aliens in this process.

"Come, Xiao Zhengshu, let's take a hand."

The abbot who was sitting on the side also happily stretched out his hand and beckoned Zheng Shu to come to him.

Zheng Shu was not timid, came to the old abbot and stretched out his hand to touch him.

As soon as he made contact, Zheng Shu felt a strong Qi from the other party's hand into his body, and Zheng Shu did not hesitate to mobilize all the Qi to backlash.

Syllable!

As soon as the Qi of the two sides came into contact, Zheng Shu's weak and loose Qi was scattered, but the abbot's Qi did not continue to attack, but immediately retracted it after a little temptation.

"Not bad, yes, just getting started with such a level, it seems that although the innate ability makes it difficult for you to get started, it also helps you polish your mind and make your foundation better than others. Next, as long as you follow the rules of practice, you can do it. ”

Zheng Shu stood in place and rearranged the scattered Qi in his body, and then bowed and saluted: "Yes, master." ”

The abbot squinted and smiled, and he touched his snow-white beard:

"Hmm...... Since you have such attainments, I can show those old guys again during the Chinese New Year this year, hahahaha. ”

The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously when he heard this, as if he saw the scene of being shown off by the old abbot when he was a child.

At this moment, he could even feel the compassionate gaze that Huang Ming secretly came from behind him.

Everyone can be regarded as young people now, and Huang Ming certainly knows how embarrassing this kind of thing for the older generation is for the parties involved.

"Ahem, Master, what are you calling me and Huang Ming for this time?"

Zheng Shu coughed twice and changed the topic, already thinking about how he should survive this catastrophe during the New Year.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Xu Zhengning smiled and took out a paper invitation from behind him, and also beckoned Huang Ming to come over and handed the invitation to their eyes.

"The Old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain is going to hold the Luo Tian Dajiao next month, and you are the two most outstanding disciples of the younger generation of my Baiyun Temple, so I plan to let you go and see the world when the time comes."

"Really?! Be! ”

Huang Ming showed visible excitement, while Zheng Shu, on the contrary, reacted flatly.

It's been fifteen years since he came to this world, and Luo Tian Dajiao has not participated in it, and he was quite excited when he first participated, but after he really participated, Zheng Shu felt a little bored.

After all, in addition to holding various ceremonies, Luo Tian Dajiao also has a bit of a look at the mutual exchange between the various sects in the future.

But the competition of the younger generation is too boring in Zheng Shu's opinion, everyone is playing until the point, not to mention the injury, most of them are not panting after the fight, and it doesn't even seem to be a warm-up exercise.

In addition to these messy things, the most uncomfortable thing for Zheng Shu is that whenever this time comes, he will become a rare animal that is visited.

The last time Luo Tian Dajiao was personally brought by the abbot to participate, the purpose is needless to say, of course, because the people in Baiyun Temple have already finished showing off, so they took this opportunity to pull him out to show off.

As for the aspect that young people are most excited about being able to go out to play, Zheng Shu has no interest.

If he could, he would like to stay and practice in Baiyun Temple all year round, after all, all the Taoist priests here are talented and speak well.

"Okay, Master, I see."

Xu Zhengning could see that Zheng Shu was absent-minded, he knew that this apprentice of his only wanted to cultivate, and he was so calm that he didn't look like a young man at all.

After thinking about it, he decided to add some motivation to this apprentice of his own.

"This Luo Tian Dajiao is different from the past, and Lu Jin of the Lu family has taken out quite good things as a color head."

"Oh?!" Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
