Before the class, Patriarch Taishang first explained to Pan Long why he didn't teach him the mental method of Taishangmai.

"My mental method in this vein, in the final analysis, is just the word 'non-action'. Although saying 'inaction' does not mean passive avoidance, it does not mean that it is to be a turtle with a shrunken head and do nothing, it is still necessary to do what should be done, but it will not be stubborn to do it and do it well, but ...... This kind of non-stubbornness does have the meaning of retreating, or in other words, in the process of doing so, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of concession. ”

Taishang Patriarch looked at Pan Long and said with a smile: "You were able to forcibly find out your own aura, it can be seen that you are a stubborn person to the extreme. Getting you to 'not be stubborn' is not only hard, but it is also destroying your true nature. In that case, you won't have a good path. ”

Pan Long nodded lightly in understanding.

"So Patriarch, is that other skill you want to teach me exactly the type of 'stubbornness'?"

"That's right. Patriarch Taishang smiled, "This skill comes from a friend of mine who is too stubborn to talk, he always shouts, 'The greatest thing in the world is the truth', no matter what, no matter who he is with, he is stubborn to be reasonable." ”

"It wasn't easy for him to survive. ”

"It's not easy, but since he survived, he's strong. The Supreme Patriarch sighed, "There are many immortals, but there are very few immortals who are stronger than him, and they can even be counted without one hand." If I had a serious fight with him, it wouldn't take me a few breaths before he would be beaten to pieces. ”

Pan Long's eyes lit up.

Although immortality is the most important, the longer you live, the more scenery you can see, and the only way you can get hope in the face of adversity. But if he can also live forever, of course he wants to become stronger!

The friend later said that he was going to the depths of the distant sea of stars to explore the endless world. He was gone and never came back. I don't know if he's still alive, but before he left, he taught me his best skills, and asked me to help him find a suitable successor. ”

Taishang Patriarch looked at Pan Long: "That person needs to have a strong will, extraordinary talent, and stubbornness enough, even if he fails a thousand times, he must stand up for the thousandth and first time...... Pan Long, can you do it?"

Pan Long thought seriously for a while and replied, "I will do my best." ”

"That's enough. Patriarch Taishang smiled, "If it were him, he would definitely not be satisfied with your answer." But I'm not him, and I'm very satisfied with your answer. ”

"Before I learn this exercise, I would like to remind you that although we created it, it is you who practice it. So when it comes to spiritual practice, you have to put yourself first, work yourself, and believe in yourself. Don't put your hopes in others, and don't trust people blindly. Even those of us who live forever are only going further than you on our own paths—we don't necessarily know your own ways better than you do. ”

Pan Long nodded earnestly, indicating that he had written it down.

Then, the Taishang Patriarch taught him a kung fu.

This kung fu is very simple to say, it is to take turns to absorb the evil qi from the ground and the gang qi from the sky, and temper yourself with these turbidity and clear qi in turn, so that you can continue to become stronger, so as to produce a transformation and move forward in a higher and stronger direction.

And its core key lies in the various details of absorption, refining and resolution.

If there is no proper method, absorbing them is tantamount to looking for death - in fact, many immortal masters will pick up the earth shatter or Tiangang and refine them into various magic weapons, and even many one-time thunder beads.

When these things are absorbed into the body, they will naturally cause great harm. How to turn this harm into self-cultivation is the first level of difficulty in this exercise.

No matter how they are tempered and transformed, the Earth Evil and Tiangang cannot be fully utilized. How to deal with the residual qi of the "residue" after quenching and avoid remaining in the body and becoming a dark wound is the second layer of difficulty in this exercise.

As for the final hurdle, it is perseverance.

This exercise is very painful and dangerous to practice. How far can we go is a big question. Moreover, with the deepening of tempering, the required evil qi and gang qi are also becoming more and more intense, and whether or not we can find suitable evil qi and gang qi is also a big question.

In general, this exercise is not too fancy, it is more about hard work and patience.

Pan Long listened to it once, repeated it, and asked the Supreme Master to explain it again, and then memorized this exercise.

Finally, he asked for the name of the exercise.

"It doesn't have a name. Patriarch Taishang said, "My friend doesn't have an apprentice, and this is the first time I've found a successor for this exercise." You didn't need a name at all before - you can choose a name for it. ”

Pan Long was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "I named it myself?"

"That's right. Since you're practicing, of course you should give it a name. Do you want me, a bad old man who hasn't actually practiced this exercise, to name it?"

Pan Long smiled dumbly, thought for a long time, and finally hesitated and said: "This exercise is centered on refining itself, just like alchemy in a furnace. I've heard alchemists use 'a few turns of the furnace' to describe the heat of the elixir in the furnace, so I'll borrow this expression. ”

"Dan Ding Gong?" asked the Supreme Patriarch with some curiosity, "Where do you always feel like you've heard this name......?"

Pan Long shook his head: "The earth shattering Tiangang is tempered once, it can be called 'furnace fire turn', the number of tempering times of this exercise is endless, then I will take a 'nine' to describe it...... Therefore, I named it 'Nine Turns Xuangong'. ”

"Nine Turns Xuangong...... "Patriarch Taishang whispered twice, thoughtfully, "This name is really good, okay! In the future, it will be called 'Nine Turns Xuangong'!"

"Then may I ask the patriarch, what should be the name of the master who created this exercise?"

"He's stubborn as a stone, that's why everybody calls him 'Stubborn'. And because he has a tough personality and dares to act, he is also called 'Shi Dare to be'. It's nothing more than these two names, you just choose one. ”

Pan Long nodded, keeping these two names in his heart.

In the future, if he opens a mountain to accept apprentices, the patriarch hall will inevitably enshrine the tablet of "stubborn stone patriarch" or "stone dare to be the ancestor".

"So...... Do you have a portrait of him?"

"Naturally, there is, but my incarnation is not powerful, and I can't transmit it into your heart. If you are successful in cultivating in the future, before starting a sect, you can come to Kunlun Yujing to find me to get a portrait of the patriarch. ”

Back in the underground quiet room, Pan Long thought for a while, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Nine Turns Xuangong.

This Xuan Gong is much simpler to cultivate than the Taishang Forgetfulness Chapter, strictly speaking, it is not like the Xianmen Exercise, but like the Martial Arts Exercise.

The first step in its entry is to refine and strengthen its own true qi, so as to achieve "the slightest wisp and sharp edge".

Whether it is the earth shatter or the heavenly gang, they are all extremely powerful forces. The True Qi itself is not strong enough, and there is no way to use them to refine oneself.

If the Earth Demon Tiangang enters the body, and the true qi is defeated, and it can't be controlled or guided, then it is not cultivation, but looking for death.

This step can be said to be a water grinding process, and if you only practice in the ashram, it may take months or even years to complete the first step of the introduction.

Fortunately, Pan Long could also go to the void world of the fragments of the Mountain and Sea Scripture to cultivate.

Even better, when he practiced the exercises, his mind was in a wonderful state of concentration and relaxation, in which loneliness greatly affected him.

The ancestors of the Pan family also used to cultivate internal strength with the help of fragments of the Mountain and Sea Sutra, but the internal strength of martial arts is focused on refining and refining qi. In the fragments of the Shan Hai Sutra, their own essence will not be transformed into true qi, and no matter how much they practice, they can only make their movements more skilled and fast, but they cannot increase their strength.

Of course, Pan Long can't either, but what he wants is not to increase his strength, but to adjust his true qi.

This step can be completed in the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Of course, Pan Long will not soak in the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Every time he cultivated for a period of time, he would return to reality and continue cultivating. There is a slight difference between the cultivation in reality and the cultivation in the void world, and there is no way to concentrate as much as in it, but it will allow people to grasp their own state more clearly and constantly make appropriate fine-tuning.

He felt that both were important and could not be biased.

Cultivation does not know the years, and in the calm cultivation, time passes unconsciously.

One day, his grandfather came to him and told him it was time to go out.

"I think it's good to cultivate here. Pan Long replied subconsciously.

Grandpa sighed: "I know that your cultivation situation is very good now, if you can, I am also willing to let you cultivate for a few years, maybe you will directly step into the innate realm." ”

"But, if you don't go out, you can't do it!"

"Why?"

"Today is August 14, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. My grandfather said, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the peaches of Suitao Mountain will be ripe." You have to go out now, and get to Suitao Mountain early tomorrow morning. ”

Pan Long suddenly realized that he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"I've been cultivating for more than a month?"

"What do you think?"

He smiled and shook his head, sighing a little.

It's no wonder that those seniors often practice in retreat, and one cultivation is a year or two, and this feeling of silently cultivating and growing up silently is really very good.

Every time I run the true qi, I can feel a little growth. Either the true qi has grown a little, or the grasp of the true qi has been strengthened, or some beneficial adjustments have been made to the process of operation.

Little by little, little by little, continuously, all the time accumulating.

That feeling really makes people addicted to it and can't help but extricate themselves.

He followed his grandfather out of the quiet room, and when the evening sun fell on him, he suddenly had a wonderful feeling when he looked at the long-lost sunshine.

It's like ...... A long, long time ago, when he was a college student, he used to occasionally go to an Internet café with friends on weekends for a night out, and in the early morning, a few people walked back to their dorm in the bright sunshine of Sunday.

In an instant, he felt as if he had traveled back in time, to the prime of his life, and was heading towards a future with infinite possibilities. But he clearly understands where he is at the moment, where he is coming from, and where he is going.

Something suddenly dawned on me.

Pan Long couldn't help but open his mouth and howl loudly.
