After saying goodbye to Xin Ning, Gu Ming hurried back to his residence and hung the retreat sign at the door.

Xin Ning is right, those rules and regulations bind the weak, and only strength can support one's true freedom.

When ordinary disciples join the sect, the first thing they think about is to take on tasks and earn points.

But Gu Ming is different, he has the points specially approved by Bai Hong Jianjun to spend, and he has two Heavenly Rank exercises in his hand, the best choice is to eat these two exercises as soon as possible.

Gu Ming found an open space and sat down, and first flipped through the "Phaseless Sword Heart", and then he understood why the immortal clan exercises were extremely difficult.

In the first sentence of the opening paragraph, a few big words were written.

"There is no self, no one, no beings."

Roughly speaking, it means to forget the outer self, pursue the true self, forget wealth, status, power, and even family love for a while, so as to pursue the "Tao" that you desire.

It seems simple, but for mortals, how easy is it to achieve "no phase"?

Even if you can really achieve the "no phase" on the surface, the three souls and seven spirits, seven emotions and six desires of the people, especially if you can be deceived so easily? But if there is a little bit of something in the earthly world that is enough to move the heart, everything that has been cultivated before can be wiped out.

This is the most basic one, which is diametrically opposed to the way of cultivation and lifestyle of the human race.

Even if Gu Ming practiced the demon clan's secret method "Moyun Jue", "Moyun Jue" pays attention to the unity of heaven and man and going with the flow, which is undoubtedly completely opposite to the immortal clan's "no distractions".

Fortunately, on the second page, there is also a record of the unique meditation method of the immortal clan.

On the second page, I saw a child drawn in a strange pose.

Stand with one foot bent and one foot hooked to the left leg in the shape of a second leg, while the left arm is hooked to the right armpit, and the right arm is raised above the head, and the five fingers are together and erect high.

At the same time, as you perform this pose, you should keep reciting the scriptures written below.

At first, this action made Gu Ming twist.

But what is strange is that in just half a stick of incense, Gu Ming actually felt that his whole body was extremely relaxed, and he could stand without deliberately exerting himself at all.

"It is worthy of the immortal clan exercises, although this posture is weird, but it is used to clear distracting thoughts, and the effect is indeed outstanding."

After the body was completely adapted, Gu Ming began to recite the scriptures.

Again......

Twice......

Three times......

It didn't work......

Gu Ming was very patient.

This book was placed at the top of the Heavenly Rank bookshelf, and it still needed such harsh conditions to obtain, if it was practiced by him, it would be strange.

Fifty times......

A hundred times......

One hundred and fifty times......

……

Two days passed in such a hurry.

However, for two days, the confusion on Gu Ming's face did not dissipate.

Although my heart is much calmer than before, I only eliminate distracting thoughts, and those desires and feelings rooted in my heart cannot be forgotten no matter what.

If Gu Ming's heart is compared to a city, and those distracting thoughts are the architecture of this city, then those desires and feelings are the historical, cultural, and spiritual core of this city.

It's not difficult to uproot the building temporarily, but if you want to shield the core of the city, how can it be done by talking? Even if it does, how can it be retrieved in the future?

It is no wonder that only the descendants of the immortal clan are suitable for cultivation, and I am afraid that the newborn children who are also in the ethereal immortal realm can truly be free of distractions and devote themselves to the Tao.

"Now if you want to cultivate this "Phaseless Sword Heart", you still need to think about it in the long run, or start by completely awakening the Conscience Sword and reaching the point of unity between man and sword." Sugar Dao.

Gu Ming sighed, put aside "Phaseless Sword Heart", and delved into "Jade Tiger Song".

Compared with "Phaseless Sword Heart", "Jade Tiger Song" is much simpler.

This is a book originated from the Taoist thunder method, and later improved by great power, to be summarized into a book of heavenly exercises, the way of cultivation is to run the soul in the body, in the sea above the formation of a "thundercloud", so that oneself and the thunder and lightning one, and then with the help of the soul, to attract the heavenly thunder.

What's more, you can store thunder and release it when you need it!

If you can cultivate this method, Gu Ming doesn't even need to move, just move your thoughts, you can trigger the thunder and split the enemy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Gu Ming started his research non-stop, and after a day passed, he finally researched some doorways.

"Jade Tiger Roar" is extremely powerful, but in contrast to it, it is a terrifying requirement for soul strength.

"Refining the soul" and "releasing the soul" are necessary prerequisites.

Completely different from the refining and release of true qi, the release of true qi requires sufficient knowledge and control of the Divine Sea, and the true qi is channeled to the outside of the body, causing the true qi to leave the body and attack the opponent.

Once the soul is separated from the body under the condition that its own strength is not enough, even if it is only a small part of it, the remaining part is very likely to have unstable changes and necrosis.

Even if the soul is released, the act of using the soul as a guide to attract and store the heavenly thunder is also a difficulty, and the soul with insufficient strength will be smashed by the thunder once it comes into contact with the thunder.

If you change to a martial artist with low soul strength to practice this "Jade Tiger Song", it won't be long before your soul will be gone.

It was only Gu Ming and other martial artists who had started soul cultivation in advance that they could barely adapt.

That Shi Yunzheng should also see that Gu Ming's soul strength is far beyond the ordinary, so he will choose this exercise for him.

After another five or six days, Gu Ming finally mastered the way of soul extraction and release, but the thunderclouds above the Shenhai Sea were still in an ambiguous state, like clouds and not clouds.

More than ten days have passed, and Gu Ming has always been stuck at the level of thundercloud condensation, not to mention the real heavenly thunder.

Gu Ming smiled bitterly, sure enough, the Heavenly Rank Exercises are not something that can be practiced if you want to.

"It's been half a month of retreat, it's time to take a break, and don't rush to achieve success along the way."

Gu Ming pushed the door out and re-entered the White Rainbow Sword Sect, as if he was in another world.

As soon as he entered the sect, he was in retreat for half a month, and Gu Ming suddenly became the focus of attention of the disciples of the whole sect, it is said that the White Rainbow Sword Sect personally came to his residence to see him several times, but each time he was sent back by the retreat card he hung high.

As soon as he walked out of the hut, Gu Ming was greeted with disgusted eyes from many disciples.

Some pampered children of the scholar clan even pinched their noses and stayed away from Gu Ming.

Gu Ming was also a little helpless, he had been in retreat for half a month, unkempt, dirty all over his body, and his beard and hair were even more frightening.

Fortunately, the White Rainbow Sword Sect has some points as a subsidy for the retreat disciples every month, and Gu Ming used these extra points to take a shower and change into new clothes.

"Gu Ming, you're out of the customs!"

As soon as he walked out of the bathhouse, Gu Ming heard a sound behind him, and he happened to meet Xin Ning.

"Well, what a coincidence." Gu Ming smiled: "Little Senior Sister, where are you going?" ”

"You forgot? Today is the first day of the seventh month, and at the beginning of each month, the sect will release new tasks for disciples to earn points, and I am also about to go. ”

Gu Ming let out an "oh", remembering that most of the disciples who had seen the Tao along the way hurried to one direction, presumably planning to take the first step to choose a cost-effective task.

"Little Senior Sister is the daughter of the sect master, and she has to do the same tasks as other disciples?"

"That's nature!" Xin Ning puffed up her small chest: "Daddy said that you can only rely on yourself on your own cultivation path, if you hope to hide under the protection of the family forever, and you don't want to experience it yourself, you will never succeed." ”

Then he approached Gu Ming again: "Senior brother has been in retreat for half a month, and the points are almost not enough, right?" Why don't you go with me and let Senior Sister take you? ”

Gu Ming readily agreed.

Although there are points and retreat subsidies rewarded by the White Rainbow Sword Monarch, as Su Jia said before, the path of cultivation is indispensable for the support of a large amount of money, and if this point in his hand is placed in the future, it is definitely not enough.

What's more, now that he is a disciple of the White Rainbow Sword Sect, since he is a disciple, he has to do some things that a disciple should do.

The two walked together, and after a while they came to a large hall.

Walking into the hall, it was already full of people, scrambling on the walls on both sides, flipping through the new sect tasks provided this month, and even some disciples were arguing with others in order to compete for the tasks.

Fortunately, there has not been a big fight yet, firstly, because the Baihong Sword Sect has strict rules and strictly prohibits disciples from fighting in private; The second reason is that when the White Rainbow Sword Sect selects outer disciples, it is very strict in the assessment of character and quality.

Xin Ning led Gu Ming all the way through the crowd to the exclusive task area for inner disciples and true disciples.

"Look, this is good," Xin Ning quickly took a fancy to one of the tasks: "Go to Qingfeng Village, investigate the signs of the Heavenly Demon's infestment, and get a reward of fifty points after completion!" ”

"It's all up to the little sister's arrangement." Gu Ming has no opinion.

Although Gu Ming wanted to take on some tasks such as hunting spirits, and at the same time use it as a supplement to his true qi while exercising actual combat, he thought that Qingfeng Village was only a few miles away from the Baihong Sword Sect, so it was good to understand the surrounding area of the sect first.

Seeing that Gu Ming had no objection, Xin Ning took down the wooden card and went to the front desk to register.

But as soon as he turned around, one hand grabbed the back of Xin Ling's hand!

"Miss Xinning, this mission, would you like me to go with you?"
