5 Chapter 5
Shan Heyuan gradually got used to the days of being a cultivator, and lived according to the behavior pattern of a monk.
This morning, Shan Heyuan had just finished running his mental method for three and a half weeks, when there was a knock on the door outside, followed by a roar: "Fellow Daoist, your newspaper copy." β
Shan Heyuan hurriedly shouted: "It's coming-"
Shan Heyuan stood up and went to open the door.
Outside the door, the monk who had delivered the newspaper had already left, leaving only a square wooden talisman thrown at the gate.
Shan Heyuan carefully picked it up, wiped off the dust on it, and carried it back to the yard.
Shen Duheng was cultivating cross-legged in another corner of the courtyard, Shan Heyuan didn't dare to quarrel with him, carried the wooden talisman, entered the room lightly, sat upright in front of the workbench in the living room, and reverently pasted the wooden talisman on his forehead, and read the contents with his divine sense.
Swiping it, Shan Heyuan felt that countless words appeared in his mind:
[Donghe Immortal Jun broke through the god and added another elder to the Sword Gate! ] γ
[Elder Yanzong Dengjiao reappears in the Great Luo Nine Zhuan Dan]
[It is rumored that a new batch of Dapeng birds in the Blue Bird Palace is expected to awaken the bloodline of the golden-winged Dapeng]
β¦β¦
This is the news of the cultivation world!
It was the first time Shan Heyuan ordered a copy of the newspaper of the True Realm, and it was also the first time that he read the newspaper in the way of divine consciousness.
The way it was hard poured into his mind amazed him.
He took the talisman a little farther away, and saw that the palm-sized wooden talisman was engraved with runes as thin as hair, and then he had to identify them carefully, and the runes seemed to move, shaking him dizzy.
It seems that even a simple symbol is not something that can be mastered directly by a person without a foundation.
Shan Heyuan observed for a moment, then put the talisman on his forehead again, and read the entire newspaper carefully.
"Fengjian Gate, Yanzong, Jade Bird Palace, Changxing Gate......"
Shan Heyuan took the wooden talisman off his forehead and muttered to himself what he had just read.
Just as he opened his eyes, a red-clothed figure suddenly stood in front of him.
βοΌοΌοΌβ Shan Heyuan was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair, and when he looked closely, it was Shen Duheng, "Brother Shen?!" You're done cultivating?! β
Shen Duheng nodded: "Copy?" β
Shan Heyuan patted his heart and raised the talisman in his hand: "Yes, the talisman master in the village suggested that I order it, do you want to see it?" β
Shen Duheng took the wooden talisman directly, but unlike Shan Heyuan, he needed to stick the wooden talisman on his forehead, so he simply swept it with his divine sense and read the contents directly.
While Shen Duheng was reading the newspaper, Shan Heyuan tilted his head and looked at his expression.
The orange sunlight spilled in from the window in the early morning, and Shen Duheng's tall figure stood in the half-light and half-dark shadows, Shan Heyuan couldn't quite capture the details on his face, and only felt that his expression was a little complicated.
Don't know where he's from? Do you see familiar terms when you read the newspaper?
Shen Duheng read extremely fast, and in just a few seconds, he returned the wooden talisman to Shan Heyuan.
Shan Heyuan held the newspaper talisman: "These newspaper copies are quite interesting. β
Shen Duheng still didn't have any expression: "Look more, it's no harm." β
Shan Heyuan twisted his ass and got closer to Shen Duheng: "Brother Shenβ"
Shen Duheng leaned back: "If you have something to say, say it directly." β
Shan Heyuan: "That, didn't you lose most of your previous memory?" What do you think of when you read the newspaper? β
Shen Duheng: "Just a few words, what can you think of?" But you, who are still in the mood to read the newspaper, when will you determine your exercises? β
The mental method that Shan Heyuan is practicing now is the basic mental method distributed by Taihemen.
This technique does not contain any moves, but simply teaches cultivators who can sense aura how to absorb, operate, and refine and store aura.
If a cultivator wants to officially embark on the path of cultivation, he or she has to learn a certain kind of exercise.
At the mention of this, Shan Heyuan sighed: "Brother Shen, you just want to change the topic, right?" β
Shen Duheng raised his chin slightly and motioned for him to hurry up.
Shan Heyuan stood up slightly, twisted his body and took out a stack of wooden talismans from the shelf on the side of the workbench, sat down again, pushed away the clutter on the workbench, put the wooden talisman on the table, stretched out his hand, and lined it up for Shen Duheng to see.
Shan Heyuan: "These are the mental methods that I can get into contact with at present, I have taken a cursory look at them, and I haven't decided which one to learn." β
Shen Duheng stared at these old wooden talismans of different shades of color: "Where did you get these basic exercises?" β
Shan Heyuan: "Borrowed." Senior Brother Ma, the village chief, Zhong Shuran - it is the talisman master in the village, they lent it to me. β
After Shan Heyuan finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Duheng expectantly: "Brother Shen, do you have any suggestions?" β
Shen Duheng: "Which one do you want to learn the most?" β
Shan Heyuan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his finger and pushed out the light brown wooden talisman that had faded the most from a row of wooden talismans: "Sword Spectrum, I want to learn this." β
Shen Duheng: "What is the reason?" β
Shan Heyuan: "Sword cultivation is the best employment?" I heard that no matter if you want to take the sect exam or find a job in the future, more than 80% of the positions will be open to sword cultivation - Brother Shen, is there something wrong? β
Shen Duheng bounced his fingers back at the wooden talisman, with a mocking expression: "Undetermined sword cultivation will not accomplish anything." Second and third options? β
Shan Heyuan picked at the table in a sneer, and selected two more pieces from a pile of runes: "The second is Fu Xiu, Zhong Shuran said that if I cultivate Fu Fu, if there is anything I can't do, I can ask him for advice." The third is Dan Xiu, who is relatively wealthy. β
Speaking of the back, Shan Heyuan was a little ashamed.
He could feel that Shen Duheng didn't look down on his attitude when he chose a profession, probably because this guy was a sword spirit and didn't have a good impression of the ungodly monk who practiced swords.
Shan Heyuan coughed lightly and said stubbornly, "What do you think?" β
Shen Duheng stretched out his hand and picked up the worn-out talisman on the very edge: "Why don't you choose a planter?" β
Shan Heyuan looked at the wooden talisman in his hand: "Isn't the planter's road broken?" I heard Senior Brother Ma say that in history, the highest cultivation master is only in the Yuan Infant Stage. If you choose a planter, there will be no suitable exercises after cultivating to Yuanying, right? β
Shen Duheng: "Not every monk has to follow the path of his predecessors and refer to the exercises of his predecessors. β
Shan Heyuan whispered: "That's what I said, but I don't think I'm the kind of person who can create his own exercises, if he cultivates to the Yuan Infant Stage and has no way, it will be difficult to change the exercises at that time." β
The two were speechless for a moment.
Shen Duheng looked at the wooden talisman on the table: "If you don't consider any factors, what do you want to learn the most?" β
Shan Heyuan's gaze swept over the pieces of wooden talismans, and finally landed on the wooden talisman that Shen Duheng was holding, and pursed his lips.
Naturally, it is still comfortable to learn to plant.
But if he can't cultivate at the high level, he won't be able to go home.
Shan Heyuan put away the wooden talisman: "I'll think about it for a few more days." β
Shen Duheng watched him take away the wooden talisman in his hand: "Are you free today?" Take you to town. β
Shan Heyuan's eyes widened: "Huh? β
Shen Duheng: "These basic exercises are too messy, take you to see other versions." β
Shan Heyuan: "What other version?" I've basically gone through the basic exercises of public library pavilions and bookstores, and it's almost ...... like these."
Shen Duheng interrupted him: "To go or not?" β
Shan Heyuan nodded decisively: "Go!" β
Ten minutes later, Shan Heyuan followed Shen Duheng and got on the brine worm that was heading to the town.
The Artemia was empty, and it was just the two of them.
Shan Heyuan sat next to Shen Duheng, glanced around, and whispered: "You don't usually go out much, why are you more familiar with the town than me?" β
Shen Duheng: "How do you know that I don't go out?" β
Shan Heyuan was speechless, he really didn't know if Shen Duheng was usually at home.
However, Shen Duheng is a sword spirit, and he can't be too far away from the body, that is, he can't be too far away from him, and he should be at home usually.
Isn't this too far away, meaning that the two sides are in the same town, and it's fine?
Artemia worms travel underground, quickly reaching their destination.
Shan Heyuan stood on the unfamiliar street, looking left and right in confusion, and couldn't guess where Shen Duheng was going to take him for a while.
Shen Duheng raised his eyes and looked at the pedestrians around him, and chose a direction: "Let's go." β
Shan Heyuan raised his hand to block the sunlight shining on his face: "Where are you going?" Grocery store?! β
Shen Duheng actually brought him to a chain of grocery stores!
Shan Heyuan is very familiar with all kinds of grocery stores, but he has never been to this one in front of him.
The grocery store chain is too expensive, and a lot of it is high-end goods that come in from outside.
He couldn't afford it.
So, there are still exercise books in the grocery store?
Shan Heyuan went into the grocery store with Shen Duheng full of questions.
Shen Duheng led him directly, through the layers of shelves, and walked to the most corner.
Then, Shan Heyuan found that there was really a bunch of wooden talismans on the shelf in the corner, maybe because no one had touched them for too long, and there was some dust on these wooden talismans!
Shan Heyuan's eyes widened, he gently picked up a wooden talisman, turned his head to look at Shen Duheng on the side, and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he gently pasted it on his forehead.
As soon as his divine sense sank in, he immediately read the trial part of the wooden talisman.
This is a basic Dan Dao wooden talisman, the author in the introduction in a few words to explain the essence of Dan Dao, in simple terms, even if Shan Heyuan does not have a Dan Dao foundation at all, he can understand it.
He used to read the Dan Dao exercises, which was obviously the same as reading the Chemistry Heavenly Book!
The basic exercises here are so well written!
Shan Heyuan put down the wooden talisman, his eyes burst into light, and he lowered his voice: "The basic exercises here are so clearly written!" β
Shen Duheng: "Look at this piece again." β
Shan Heyuan took the wooden talisman and found that it was the basic technique of a sword book.
The content of the trial reading inside is also very clear, and even when practicing swords, the aura should go through those meridians, why do you want to go through these meridians, what will be the effect if you go to other meridians, and the consequences of going wrong, etc., are all written clearly.
As soon as Shan Heyuan looked at the requirements inside, he knew that this sword spectrum was not suitable for him, as a mortal who grew up in a civilized society, he did not have the characteristics that a sword cultivation should have.
If he was reluctant to cultivate, he would definitely not be able to cultivate until after Yuanying.
Similarly, the Dan Dao Gong just now is the same, he should not have the talent above the Dan Dao, and if he chooses the Dan Dao as his major, he will not be able to cultivate above the Yuan Infant.
Shen Duheng handed over the basic exercises one by one, and Shan Heyuan looked at them one by one.
In the process of reading, his consciousness became more and more consumed, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Seeing these basic exercises, he understood in his heart which ones were suitable for him, which ones were not suitable for him, and what the reasons were, instead of blindly choosing by feeling like before.
After reading the exercises one by one, the last exercise handed over by Shen Duheng was the planter's exercise, called "Huachun Decision".
Shan Heyuan's divine sense swept over, and he was immediately attracted by this exercise, and read it with fascination.
This planting exercise is so interesting!
It wasn't until the end of the trial reading part that Shan Heyuan's reading came to an abrupt halt that he came back to his senses, holding the exercises, and looked at Shen Duheng in a daze.
Shen Duheng said: "This is the best classic you can see at present, do you see the road you want to take in the future?" β
Shan Heyuan: "I have the best talent in planting, and I have the best chance of going well on this path." β
Shan Heyuan grabbed the wooden talisman tightly: "You're right, I should choose a planter." β
Shen Duheng: "You can think about it for two more days." β
"Don't think about it, I'll choose the planter." Shan Heyuan exhaled a long breath, "Brother Shen, you are too powerful. If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known there was such a well-written basic exercise. How can they be put in a corner and pile up dust? β
Shen Duheng didn't answer, only raised his feet and walked forward.
Shan Heyuan was immersed in the excitement of having already chosen the exercises, and followed him straight to the checkout counter.
The cultivator behind the counter finished reading the goods and quoted to them: """Spring Decision", 12,000 spirit beads will be inherited. β
Shan Heyuan's eyes widened, and his voice tightened: "How much?!! β
The cultivator looked at him, repeated, and asked, "Daoist friend Fu Spirit Stone or Spirit Bead?" β
Shan Heyuan touched the pocket on his waist, his face twitched, and he wanted to put the wooden talisman back on the counter, but he was reluctant, he stood there stiffly, and muttered: "Why is it so expensive?" β
The cultivator was about to say something.
Shen Duheng took out a bag of spirit beads from his arms and handed it to the cultivator: "You order." β
The cultivator swept it with his divine sense, nodded and confirmed that the number was okay: "Wrap it up for you?" β
Shen Duheng: "No, take it and go." β
After speaking, Shen Duheng turned his head to look at Shan Heyuan on his shoulder and signaled to leave.
Shan Heyuan grabbed the "Spring Decision" he had just bought with both hands, sniffed and followed behind Shen Duheng, and whispered, "Why is this exercise so expensive?" β
Shen Duheng: "Do you know why it fell into the dust?" β
Shan Heyuan nodded with affection, the planter basic exercise he borrowed from the village chief was only worth more than four hundred spirit beads, and this "Spring Decision" cost 12,000!
No wonder it falls into the dust!
Shan Heyuan said to Shen Duheng: "Thank you, Brother Shen!" I'll pay you back together. β
He didn't ask Shen Duheng where he got the spirit bead, he knew the ability of this sword spirit.
Shen Duheng didn't react: "Cultivate hard and take out the remnant sword as soon as possible." β
Shan Heyuan nodded: "I will!" β
The two of them went back to the brine worm.
Because of the huge amount of money just spent, both of them fell into a state of poverty.
But sitting on the brine worm, Shan Heyuan was so happy that he was about to bubble, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Duheng frequently all the way.
Shen Duheng couldn't stand him, and when he looked at him again, he held his head and didn't let him move: "What are you looking at all the way?" β
"Look at you!" Shan Heyuan said happily, "Brother Shen, you are really a good person!" β
The corners of Shen Duheng's mouth twitched.
Shan Heyuan stared at his speechless expression and laughed: "Brother Shen, we are friends, right?" β
Shen Duheng didn't bother to take care of him.
Shan Heyuan didn't mind his new friend's cold personality at all, and touched the wooden talisman in his hand with cherishment, and decided to cultivate hard after he went back, and strive to repay Shen Duheng as soon as possible.
The highest cultivation of a grower is not high, but he is never short of money!
