Chapter 9 Choice
"Hehe, but you don't have to be too discouraged and give up on yourself, you know a little bit about the art of derivation for the teacher, and I also gave you a hexagram last night. With this hexagram, you have good luck and good luck. Therefore, it does not mean that if the qualifications are poor, it is really impossible to achieve anything on this path of cultivating immortals. The little old man grinned when he saw Shen Cheng's depressed look, and said comfortingly!
Shen Cheng slowly raised his head, looked at the little old man with wide eyes, and asked expectantly, "Could it be that the master has thought of a good way to change the disciple's spiritual root qualifications?"
"No," the little old man shook his head like a rattle, and replied categorically, "even if there is such a method, I will not be a teacher!"
"Then Master, I have such poor qualifications, where can I come from to become a big way!" Shen Cheng lowered his eyes, his heart was already cold!
The little old man twisted the few sparse white hairs on his chin, and said with a deep sigh: "It's really hard to say, if you can meet a great opportunity against the sky in the future, nothing is impossible." ”
"Where can I go to meet the great opportunity against the sky?" Shen Cheng listened to what his master said, and his heart became a little lively, looking like he was sick and went to the doctor!
The little old man looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, the way of heaven is clear, the changer is Hengtong!" silly boy, don't think about those illusory things now, if you don't work hard to cultivate yourself now, when the opportunity really comes to you, you don't have any strength and preparation, how can you seize it?"
After a pause, the little old man continued: "The five spirit roots are also stronger than the no spirit roots, at least there is still some cultivation. If you want to go further on the path of cultivating immortals, you have to put in more effort and persistence than other immortal cultivators, and the rest is to do your best and obey the destiny of heaven!"
Looking at Shen Cheng, who was looking down and thinking, the little old man finally said, "How about it?" If you think about it, you decided to follow the teacher and ask the immortal. If you are a teacher, you will never hide your selfishness, and you will do your best to cultivate you. If, if you change your mind and want to go down the mountain, and plan to return to the world for the rest of your life, the teacher will not stop you, and will give you some gold and silver treasures and elixirs to prolong your life. In this way, at least you can live a prosperous and prosperous life, and it will not be in vain that you and I have this dewy master-apprentice relationship! Well, this is all for the teacher, you can think about how to choose. ”
Shen Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally seemed to have made a choice, and replied firmly: "Master, I have thought about it!
Shen Cheng's experience since he was a child was different from others, if this matter were changed to other children, maybe he would really choose the latter! But he is different, he has grown up in the eyes of others since he was a child, and he has suffered from bullying.
He understands a truth, no matter how rich and powerful people are, they will also be oppressed by more powerful people. Only by being a god in the sky can you be happy and admired by mortals.
And the temptation of immortality is too great, how can a long life be compared with the same life as heaven and earth, if you can really achieve success and ascend to the upper realm, it is better than turning into a cup of loess like your father and mother after a hundred years, so he has to give it a try when he says anything!
"Oh, no regrets?"
"Well, I don't regret it!"
"Okay, then come with me, and take you to choose an exercise suitable for cultivation for the teacher!" After a long time, Shitong Sanren took his gaze back from Shen Cheng's firm face and said.
As he spoke, the little old man got up and walked towards the stone room with bookshelves, and Shen Cheng also left the stone bench and followed.
Before coming to the bookshelf, the little old man took down two thread-bound books from above, one was the book "Control Mind Decision" that Shen Cheng had read yesterday, and the other was a practice called "Taiyu Gong".
According to the little old man, these two are both introductory exercises for junior immortal cultivators to cultivate, but they are slightly different in cultivation methods and speeds, but in the end, they can both be cultivated to the realm of the ninth layer of the Great Perfection of the Qi Melting Period.
The difference between the two exercises is that "Controlling Thoughts and Decisions" is known for its cultivation speed and pursuing advanced by leaps and bounds, but the disadvantage is that the cultivator's basic exercises are more solid than the other one, while "Taiyu Gong" allows cultivators to lay a solid foundation for entry, but the cultivation speed is slightly slower than that of cultivating "Controlling Thoughts"!
Shen Cheng didn't think about it, and chose "Control Mind Decision" without hesitation, in his opinion, no matter how solid the basic skills are, it is in vain to not be able to cultivate to the foundation building period as soon as possible to improve a big realm!
"It's okay, then you can practice this one! But for the teacher, I would like to give you one last advice, you must practice hard every day, and you must not be lazy! If you encounter a bottleneck in the exercises that you cannot understand, you can come to the teacher for advice. As a teacher, you will check your cultivation progress every three months, and if you are lazy in cultivation and don't see results, you will definitely be punished for being a teacher! Okay, go ahead. This is the first time since going up the mountain that the little old man has spoken so harshly to Shen Cheng.
Of course, Shen Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and responded: "Yes, keep it in mind." Then he took the copy of "Control Thoughts" and walked straight to his stone room.
Tongshi Sanren looked at Shen Cheng's back, first nodded, and then shook his head! In fact, if he stood in Shen Cheng's position, he would definitely choose "Control Mind Decision", after all, he stepped into the door of cultivating immortals with the qualifications of the five spirit roots, and if he didn't work hard to improve the realm first, then there was nothing else to talk about.
And the reason why Tongshi Sanren finally decided to accept Shen Cheng was because there were three main reasons!
The first is that the little old man wants to verify that his hexagram can be fulfilled, and most of his time and energy over the years have been spent on refining this derivation technique, and he rarely misses.
The second is because of his friend Gongsun Hui, who only has the qualifications of the Three Spirit Roots, it is said that when he set foot in the immortal realm at the beginning of that year, he was also a small casual cultivator who lacked pills and had no cultivation resources, but through his continuous hard cultivation, coupled with some opportunities, he finally found a Zhuji Dan under the age of fifty knowing the destiny of heaven, and he was lucky to succeed in building the foundation!
Gongsun's kid can build a foundation without a master, not to mention that Shen Cheng has a master like himself, how can it be much easier than that Gongsun's cultivation back then, right? At least on the road of cultivating immortals, he thinks that he can save Shen Cheng many detours and save a lot of time! And looking at Shen Cheng, he should also be a child with great determination and perseverance, and he still has some hope for Shen Cheng.
The third and most important thing is that on the day this Shen boy was born, he had seen some kind of vision in the Jinxia Mountain Realm, otherwise how could he have run to that village that day and happened to encounter an outbreak of plague. Thinking of this, the little old man's thoughts couldn't help but go back to eleven years ago......
After a while, the little old man finally came back to his senses from his memory. Put those past events aside first, judging from the current situation alone, he knows that Shen Cheng's path to cultivating immortals is destined to be a race against time no matter what!
