The understanding and analysis of the content of "The Nine Chapters of Tianji" cannot be achieved overnight, but it is a great undertaking that even takes a lifetime to complete. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Moreover, because of the lack of his own knowledge, it is very difficult to understand and analyze, and Zhang Ning feels that only when his own knowledge is accumulated enough, can he understand and analyze it to get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhang Ning turned his attention to "Cultivation and Enlightenment"; although this book did not have a specific cultivation method, it contained a huge amount of knowledge, even more than the books Zhang Ning had read in the past two years.

The content in "Xiuzhen Enlightenment" also needs to be understood and analyzed again and again, but the difficulty is not as great as that of "Nine Chapters of Tianji".

Zhang Ning is like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for a few days and nights, and suddenly encounters a clear spring;

During this time, Zhang Ning has been studying "Xiuzhen Enlightenment", and he has been absorbing the nutrients he needs in the vast knowledge.

Zhang Ning stayed closed for a long time, which naturally attracted the attention of people with a heart. Luo Xiang found that he hadn't seen Zhang Ning for more than a month.

Luo Xiang found Luo Jian, who had the best relationship with Zhang Ning, and when he asked, he found that he hadn't seen Zhang Ning for a long time.

"What happened? How could Zhang Ning be closed for a month? Don't you really be self-defeating by yourself as the Great Elder said?"

Luo Xiang was a little worried, so he could only go to the Great Elder to discuss.

"Forget it, it's all like this, I'll go over and see. ”

The Great Elder came all the way to Zhang Ning's small courtyard and found that the door was hidden, but no one answered when he knocked on the door.

The Great Elder pushed the door in, and at a glance, he saw Zhang Ning reading a book alone. Didn't seem to know someone was coming.

"Ahem..."The Great Elder coughed, finally attracting Zhang Ning's attention.

"Great Elder, why are you here?"

The Great Elder said, "Zhang Ning, I heard Luo Jian say that you haven't been to the martial arts training ground for a long time;

"It's okay. I just felt that I was too lacking in knowledge, so I spent more time reading. ”

The Great Elder saw that what Zhang Ning said was sincere, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I am also a person who loves to read, and there was a time when I felt that I was too shallow and too lacking in knowledge, just like you, and this is a stage that will inevitably occur when reading to a certain extent. I believe it will be fine after a while. However, I still want to remind you that although reading is important, it should not be wasted because of this. ”

Knowing that Zhang Ning was fine, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief. Standing up and about to leave: "You read your book carefully, I'll go first." ”

Just as the Great Elder was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Ning stopped him again, "Great Elder, please wait. ”

The Grand Elder sat down again.

"Great Elder, the Taoist classics I've been reading lately often mention cultivators. Great Elder, you are well-informed, do cultivators really exist?"

From "Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Pole" to "Enlightenment of Cultivation", as well as the magical cloud seal, everything proves that the cultivator is real. It's just that Zhang Ning hopes that someone can confirm it in person, and then get the relevant information of the cultivator.

The Great Elder looked at Zhang Ning in surprise, Zhang Ning had been closed for a while, it seemed that he might be entangled in the matter of the cultivator.

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Of course the cultivators really exist, and strictly speaking, we martial artists are actually one of the cultivators. ”

"The Body Refining Pill and Bone Forging Pill we take are actually the means of cultivators. It's just that whether it is the Body Refining Pill used by the Body Refining Realm martial artists, or the Bone Forging Pill used by the Yi Bone Realm martial artists, in the eyes of true cultivators, they are all some unpopular pills. ”

Zhang Ning was extremely surprised and asked, "Great Elder, if it is a real elixir, what kind of effect will it have?"

"I don't know. Because no one can refine the real pill now, and there are very few alchemists who can even refine the body refining pill. ”

Zhang Ning asked, "Great Elder, does our Luo family have any alchemists?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "Zhang Ning, you also look up to the Luo family too much, there are no more than ten known alchemists in the world today, which is less than the martial artists of the Reincarnation Realm, how can the Luo family have it." However, the Luo family did have an alchemist hundreds of years ago, and they also left a legacy. ”

It turned out that there were so few alchemists, even rarer than the martial artists of the Rebirth Realm, and besides, these people had only mastered the surface of the alchemy of the cultivators.

Thinking of the formation, Zhang Ning was relieved. Isn't the magical formation about to break the inheritance?

In "Enlightenment of Cultivation", alchemy is the first of the four arts of cultivation, and it is even above the formation.

Zhang Ning asked: "Great Elder, I heard that there are four arts in cultivation, which are alchemy, formation, refining and talisman, since there are alchemists, are there also formation mages?"

The Great Elder said, "Formation mage, I've never heard of this, but I know that there are several ancient martial arts forces that have formations as protection. ”

Zhang Ning asked again, "Great Elder, have you ever seen a true cultivator?"

The Great Elder said proudly, "When I was young, I once met a cultivator, and he was Zhang Daoxiang, the ancestor of the Zhengyi Sect. However, Zhang Daoxiang once said that he may be the last cultivator on earth. At that time, he was already in his twentieth century, but his appearance was still middle-aged. It is not known if he is still alive. ”

The Great Elder actually personally visited a cultivator? Zhang Ning's heart was on fire. Compared with martial artists, cultivators who can fly to the sky and escape to the earth undoubtedly make Zhang Ning yearn for more.

Zhang Ning wondered if the mysterious existence in the depths of his soul was also related to Xiuzhen? Otherwise, how could reading Taoist classics be more likely to trigger mutations?

It's just that Zhang Daoxiang said that he may be the last cultivator on the earth, isn't the cultivator flying away from the sky and omnipotent, how can he gradually die out?

Zhang Ning asked, "Great Elder, why did Zhang Daoxiang say that he might be the last cultivator on earth?

The Great Elder smiled slightly and said, "Back then, I had the same questions as you. Zhang Daoxiang explained to me like this: Although the cultivator is powerful, he is omnipotent and omnipotent, and in the same way, the aura and resources consumed by the cultivator are not comparable to that of the martial artist. ”

"After all, the aura and resources that a planet possesses are limited, and as cultivators cultivate over the years, whether it is aura or all kinds of genius earth treasures, they become less and less. As time went on, the earth became more and more unsuitable for cultivators to cultivate. Cultivators who have advanced cultivation choose to leave the earth, cross the starry sky, and go to another planet suitable for cultivation. And some other cultivators who are not capable of crossing the starry sky can only stay on the earth and slowly die of old age. Because of this, there will be fewer and fewer cultivators on the earth, and most of the Dao systems will be discontinued. ”

The aura on the earth is getting less and less day by day, hundreds of years ago, although the elixir was scarce, but some could always be found; thousands of years ago, there were more elixirs, and even the elixirs of the fifth and sixth grades could be found, and there were even more of the first and second grades. In the earlier primeval period, the elixir was everywhere, and the first-grade and second-grade elixirs were as ubiquitous as cabbage and radish.

Cultivators generally have a longer lifespan, and some even have a near-infinite lifespan. Thinking of this, Zhang Ning looked at the Great Elder and asked, "Great Elder, do you say that Zhang Daoxiang is still alive?"

The Great Elder glanced at Zhang Ning in surprise and said, "I really don't know this. Zhang Daoxiang stopped seeing outsiders decades ago, and I guess he may have passed away a long time ago. However, the Zhengyi Sect has clarified many times over the years, saying that their ancestors are still alive. If Zhang Daoxiang was still alive, he would be at least one hundred and sixty or seventy years old now. ”

Zhang Ning was full of longing for Xiuzhen, and he couldn't wait to go to Longhu Mountain immediately to confirm whether Zhang Daoxiang was really alive.

The Great Elder continued, "The Zhengyi Sect is a Taoist sect and one of the few superpowers in the world. It's just that the Zhengyi Sect doesn't seem to have a good time in recent years, and it has even been bullied by several second-rate and third-rate martial arts forces. Because of this, many people suspect that Zhang Daoxiang has passed away. ”

"Is that so?" Zhang Ning was disappointed, it seemed that Zhang Daoxiang was really gone.

As a super force, the Zhengyi Sect was bullied by several second-rate and third-rate forces, how could Zhang Daoxiang still be alive?

Zhang Daoxiang said that he became a cultivator a hundred years ago; compared with a hundred years ago, there is undoubtedly less aura now, is it still possible for him to become a cultivator? What should he do next?

Zhang Ning now has two options. One is to continue to be a martial artist, and the other is to go against the sky and work hard to become a cultivator?

The path of cultivating the truth is undoubtedly more difficult, not to mention anything else, is the aura enough to support oneself to become a cultivator in this era of the end of the law?

There is also the question of the exercises, where are I going to get the exercises of cultivating the truth?

Zhang Ning didn't even have a guide, would he go astray?

Zhang Ning hesitated for a second, then made up his mind.

The ancients said: 'When you hear the Tao, you can die at night.' ’

Zhang Ning chose to work hard to become a cultivator, even if this road was full of thorns, even if he didn't know if there was a road ahead!

With the "Enlightenment of Cultivation", the magical "Nine Chapters of the Heavenly Extreme" and the mysterious existence in the depths of the soul, I will definitely be able to become a real cultivator.
