Chapter 36: The Immortal Sect
Half a decade later, Dongfang Sheng took his leave and continued his martial arts journey.
During this period, Sikong Zhan also mastered the dust removal technique thoroughly, not only did the time become shorter, but the range and power of the spell also increased a lot.
Because of his frequent practice, compared to before, Sikong Zhan's drawing skills are getting deeper and deeper, and the rest doesn't matter, all parties are quite satisfied with the progress, the only thing that worries him is that he can't handle the materials needed for alchemy, that is, he has no money.
A penny is hard to beat a hero.
Wang Chongyang successively built the ancient tomb and the Quanzhen Sect of Nuoda, so the Quanzhen Sect was not wealthy, and there was no other income except for the hundreds of acres of fertile land under the mountain that were rented to farmers.
Buying cinnabar yellow paper, you can do it occasionally, that little money Quanzhen Sect can afford, but he will often need cinnabar yellow paper in the future, not to mention that he has to buy a lot of precious medicinal materials, it is not difficult to imagine that it will not take a few times to dry up the Quanzhen Sect.
At noon, the sun is warm.
Despite having True Qi to protect his body, Sikong Zhan didn't care about the cold and heat, he still sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the sunbathing in late autumn and early winter to relieve the troubles in his heart.
Alas-
Sikong Zhan let out a long sigh, his face sullen, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.
"Uncle Shi, what's so difficult?" Ma Yu and the other seven walked into the courtyard and heard Sikong Zhan's sigh.
"The seven of you, where are you Uncle Zhou?"
"Uncle Zhou didn't know where to go to practice. Ma Yu replied.
"Uncle Shi, why did you sigh just now?" Qiu Chuji asked.
Sikong Zhan thought about it, but still said: "I'm short of money, I need a lot of money." ”
"What do you want so much money for?" Ma Yu was puzzled.
"You need silver to draw talismans, and you need silver even more for alchemy. ”
"Alchemy?" Wang Chu's eyes lit up, his voice was a little hurried, and the other six people also looked at Sikong Zhan, their eyes shining.
"Hmm!"
Zhou Botong told the seven sons about Xiao Huandan, and it is not surprising that they have this performance, the magic elixir is self-evident in its attraction to the warriors of the rivers and lakes.
Sikong Zhan continued: "The innate skills of our Quanzhen Sect are extraordinary, although there is no supporting external skill, but there is a corresponding way of spell runes, as well as the secret of magic weapons and elixirs, which is not like Jianghu martial arts, but immortal martial arts. He didn't want to hide it anymore, he could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it for a lifetime, so it was better to tell them as soon as possible.
"Immortal...... Family...... Exercises?" Hao Datong was dumbfounded and stammered.
Sikong Zhan smiled and said, "Aren't you surprised?" I was also surprised at the time, who knew that the jade pendant in the senior brother's relics was actually used by the immortals to burn the exercises. ”
After a long time, the seventh son calmed down, Qiu Chuji swallowed his saliva, and said anxiously with a look of ecstasy: "Fu Lu and Dan Fang are the ones obtained from the jade pendant?"
People have become so anxious, Sikong Zhan understands in his heart that in the face of the temptation of becoming immortals, who can not be unmoved.
"Yes, it's all recorded in the jade pendant. ”
Sikong Zhan paused, and said: "I didn't plan to tell you the truth, but I was worried that you would be obsessed with martial arts and abandon the fundamentals of Taoism, so I had to inform you in advance, I hope you don't put the cart before the horse and miss the rare opportunity." ”
Ma Yu and the seven people all bowed their heads in shame, Ma Yu Liu Chuxuan was better, he liked to be quiet and did not like to move, he liked to study the Taoist scriptures, and the rest of the people regretted it, they knew their own affairs, although they often read the scriptures, but they were all forced, in fact, they yearned to practice swords.
"Of course, I'm not saying that you have to study the scriptures like nerds every day and comprehend the songs of the Quanzhen Dao, after all, the internal and external skills, the dynamic and static skills are combined with each other, and the effect is greater, not to mention, the Quanzhen Sect still needs you to carry it forward.
You just have to remember, you don't need to suppress your nature, and you need to control the middle of it. Take your Uncle Zhou as an example, he just cultivated the Quanzhen swordsmanship to an extremely deep realm, and only then did he have an epiphany from the outside in, open up the second vein of Ren Du, and become a master.
My brother and I have enough comprehension of the exercises, from the inside out, a natural breakthrough, don't practice often, but the comprehension of the true swordsmanship will naturally rise. ”
Sikong Zhan talked about it, in fact, he didn't tell the seventh son, and the seventh son didn't understand it, or he couldn't control himself.
However, at this time and at that time, there is the temptation of immortality, how can the seventh son have the heart to spend on competitiveness, and he can't wait to cultivate wholeheartedly and break through quickly.
Sun Buji, the youngest in line, asked, "Wouldn't our Quanzhen Sect become an immortal sect, and everyone can become an immortal?" she was so excited that she could hardly help herself.
"Theoretically, in fact, how can it be as easy as you think, humanity is vast, the immortal path is slim, and innate skill is the most basic foundation building kung fu, but only Senior Brother and I can cultivate in our Quanzhen Sect, but unfortunately Senior Brother went first, there is no fate, and I am the only one left.
None of you can comprehend the innate skills, although the master brother has created the whole heart method with this, after all, it is not as good as the innate skills of the immortal family, you can't cultivate spell runes at all, let alone alchemy, and even sacrifice magic weapons, and the road of cultivation is naturally more difficult. ”
The seven were disappointed.
Sikong Zhan said with a smile: "Although the whole heart method is not as good as the innate skill, it must be able to cultivate to the realm of the grandmaster, I went to Jiangnan this time, not only had adventures, martial arts are no less than the four uniques, but also saw a senior master, that predecessor is a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, with supreme perseverance, break through the realm of the grandmaster, break the shackles of heaven and earth, rejuvenate, and increase longevity." Then, he told the seventh son in detail about the encounter with Dugu and his defeat.
Hearing these words, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the seven people, Liu Chuxuan's face was full of hope, and he said, "Uncle Shi didn't lie to us?"
Sikong Zhan said: "Why lie to you, don't worry, I'm not lying, you have all seen the effect of the Shaolin Temple Xiao Huandan, what else is there not to believe?"
Ma Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, and said, "Uncle, Shaolin Temple can refine the rumored elixir, do you think they are also immortal sects?"
"Quite possibly. Sikong Zhan also thought about this possibility.
"It's a pity that those weird big snakes are gone, if we have those snake galls, the strength of the Quanzhen Sect will definitely be even higher. Qiu Chuji said regretfully.
Ma Yu shook his head and said: "That kind of heaven and earth spiritual things can be met but not sought, not to mention that those things are owned by that senior, we don't need to worry about them." ”
"Exactly, even if we can get it, twenty or thirty years later, Uncle Shi will be able to refine the pill, and we still need to worry about other things. "Honest man Hao Da Channel.
Hearing this, the other six people woke up one after another, and Qiu Chuji couldn't help laughing, and said, "Senior brother is reasonable. ”
"Don't be too happy, I haven't started to learn yet, when I practice the elixir, who knows when, first of all, we need silver to buy a lot of the required medicinal materials for me to practice. Sikong Zhan reminded.
Ma Yu was puzzled: "We don't have much silver, how should this be?"
"I'll leave this to me, you don't have to worry. Sikong Zhan didn't have the luxury of expecting the Quanzhen Sect at all, and with a wave of his hand, he decided to implement the plan in his heart.
