Ji Ruochen sighed softly, he looked up at the window, and saw a bright moon half hanging on the top of the sycamore in the west chamber, and it was already the second half of the night. He cheered up and opened the "Tao Te Ching" in front of him, but he was sleepy, and he almost fell asleep on the table before he supported two pages. He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a small pill from it, and lowered it with his head up. After only a moment's effort, Ji Ruochen only felt a warmth dissolve from his lower abdomen and spread into his limbs, which was indescribably comfortable, and his ears and eyes were clear. He perked himself up, reopened the Tao Te Ching, and read it page by page.

At this time, the sky was almost dawn, and there was silence in the Taichang Palace, only the Yunfeng Dao people stood on a stone bridge, looking at the wing room where Ji Ruochen lived. Seeing that the lights in Ji Ruochen's room were not extinguished all night, and the silhouette of sitting upright was reflected in the window lattice, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

At the moment when his figure disappeared into the bushes, the morning light fell.

Time is like a pass, the wind rises again, since Ji Ruochen stepped into the Taishang Daode Palace, it has been March in a blink of an eye.

In the past three months, Ji Ruochen has been studying hard every day, and he only sleeps for less than one hour every day. Fortunately, the Divine Pill given to him by Ziyang Zhenren is quite effective, and he can be energetic for several days after taking one pill, which is why he has supported it. He practiced the mantra of Ziyang Zhenren diligently in the morning and evening, and felt it in January, the true yuan moved in February, and knew yin and yang in March, which was already a small achievement. Since practicing the method of absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, Ji Ruochen's energy has gradually grown, and later he no longer needs to rely on the medicinal power of the Divine Pill to support night reading. But even so, after March, the bottle of Divine Pill given to him by Ziyang Zhenren was also clean.

In the first month, Ji Ruochen had already seen the Seven Veins Zhenren, but his literacy was not complete at that time, and the beginner Tuna Law Ziyang Zhenren had already taught him, so the Seven True People couldn't teach him anything new, so he had to wait for Ji Ruochen to complete the basic coursework. Ji Ruochen is also angry, the literacy process that ordinary children need two years of, he studied hard day and night, and there was Yunfeng Dao Chang by his side to guide him at any time, and it was completed in three months.

If you are smart, Ji Ruochen's talent is far from the best in Ruoda's Daode Sect, but his perseverance and diligence made the eight real people nod secretly.

Ji Ruochen has already learned the words, and initially laid the foundation, on this day Ziyang Zhenren solemnly handed over a volume of "Taiqing Most Holy Formula" with him, saying that the true yuan is the foundation of everything, and asked him to practice diligently, not to waste his homework. At this time, Ji Ruochen officially stepped on Jindan Avenue and ascended.

The three pure scriptures of the Tao Te Sect are actually broad and profound, the first three realms of the nine orders of the Taiqing Dynasty are for building the foundation, and the middle three realms are the entrance, and the disciples of each vein are studying in the Taishang Daode Palace before completing the first six realms, and each realm has a Dharma master to teach and solve doubts for these beginner disciples. After completing the introduction, these disciples can return to their respective lineages to receive the teachings of their own lineage masters. Since then, the direction of cultivation of the disciples of each lineage has gradually become different.

Since Ji Ruochen had already begun his initiation of cultivation, he naturally listened to and practiced in the Taishang Daode Sect with his new disciples. It's just that he has another unique advantage, that is, in the first half of the month, Ziyang Zhenren personally taught the Three Halal Sutras, and in the second half of the month, there were seven veins of real people who took turns to go into battle, instructing him to learn spells and Ding Furnace. Ji Ruochen came into contact with these many immortal methods at first glance, just like a poor boy who was as happy as Baoshan at the beginning, how could he pay attention to the truth that if he was greedy, he would swallow them all, and even set up altar servants and ghosts, and even learned a lot of miscellaneous studies such as setting up altar servants and asking divination. In fact, the teachings of the seven veins are all his own proud learning, and each of them has great power, although he can only teach him some introductory things now, but it can't be compared with ordinary miscellaneous learning.

Two months have passed in a hurry, although Ji Ruochen has tried his best, but cultivation is different from reading, he is eclectic, and he wastes a lot of energy every day, but he has mistaken the practice of "Taiqing Supreme Holy Formula". How powerful is the vision of the Seven Veins True Person, as soon as his True Yuan progresses slowly, he is immediately seen.

It's just that the seven real people are secretly fighting hard, and no one wants Ji Ruochen to waste his efforts in the school he taught, not to mention that after the completion of the big exam in the sect five years later, Ji Ruochen can choose a vein to join the door wall, which is the big thing that real people really care about.

Counting the past two days, Ji Ruochen should have been taught by Gu Shouzhen Zhenren, and the sky was bright, and he was already waiting in a Dan room in a corner of the Taishang Daode Palace. Not long after, as soon as the door of the Dan room opened, Gu Shouzhen Zhenren walked into the Dan room under the guidance of Shi Shiran in front of the four Taoist children. Gu Shouzhen is not tall, with two crescent eyebrows, a pair of thin Danfeng eyes, born white and fat, and a harmonious atmosphere, he looks like a middle-aged businessman with a solid family.

Ji Ruochen hurriedly got up, and after giving a salute, Gu Shouzhen waved his hand to let the Taoist servants stand back, walked slowly in front of Ji Ruochen, and carefully looked at his complexion.

After watching it for a long time, Gu Shouzhen smiled and said, "Ruochen, your Zhenyuan has not been making progress as fast as before recently, have you encountered any problems?" You might as well talk about it and see if Uncle Shi can help you." ”

In Ji Ruochen's mind, among the two lay real people, Gu Shouzhen and the spring breeze are like a spring breeze, which makes people easy to get close to, Zhang Jingxiao is dusty, and the fairy wind is not exposed, which is much easier to get along with than the five real monks. Since Gu Shouzhen asked at this moment, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Senior Uncle Gu, in the past two months, the seven senior uncles have taught me too many Dao methods, and I spend most of my time studying the newly learned Dao Immortal Techniques every day, so I don't have much meditation and vomiting. ”

Gu Shouzhen nodded and said, "That's it." When you first cultivate the Immortal Dao, you should be the most jealous of greed, and you should mainly practice the Taiqing Sutras, supplemented by one or two Taoisms. However, the other real people will definitely not let you give up the Dao Fa they have taught, and in this case, your entry will be slow. In this way, I have a Longhua Pill here, which will be of great benefit to you in cultivating vitality and building a Dao foundation. After you go back, find a quiet place to take it, and after cultivating diligently for seven days and refining the medicinal properties, the realm of this Taiqing Supreme Secret will be completed for more than half of it. ”

As he spoke, Gu Shouzhen took out a square box made of sterling silver from his arms, which was engraved with dense inscriptions to seal the medicinal properties and prevent them from leaking. Gu Shouzhen handed over the silver box to Ji Ruochen, and passed him a mantra, telling him that after taking the medicine, he must follow the recipe to do the exercises, so that he can completely refine the medicinal properties.

Ji Ruochen was surprised and delighted, he knew how to observe words and colors, just looking at Gu Shouzhen's solemn expression, and the decoration of this Longhua Pill box was so exaggerated, you can imagine the preciousness of this pill. Ji Ruochen was overjoyed, hurriedly took the elixir, and thanked Gu Shouzhen again and again, and even spoke a little incoherently under the excitement.

Gu Shouzhen saw that he was happy from the bottom of his heart, laughed, and said: "Although you and I have no master-apprentice status, but we have the reality of teaching, what is it that Uncle Shi gave you something? It's not early, today Uncle Shi will explain to you the Zhen Hexagram. You should not think that divination is just a miscellaneous study of the left path, but in fact it is not. Measuring the heavens and knowing the good and the bad, that is something that can only be done after having great magical powers, and this hexagram is also the basis of many Taoisms. If the hexagram is easy to learn and cultivate to get home, you can know the good and the bad between the thoughts, and at that time you will seek advantage and avoid harm, whether it is daily action or fighting with others, then it is not invincible and disadvantageous?"

Ji Ruochen's eyes lit up, and he said, "Uncle Gu, so when I compete with others in the future, if I know where the other party is going to stab me by pinching my fingers, wouldn't it be a safe chance of winning?"

Gu Shouzhen laughed and said, "You think about it well! When a cultivator competes with a sword, is it the same as that martial artist in the market? By the time you finish this hexagram, you don't know how many transparent holes you have been pierced by the flying sword." The best strategy is to be good luck before the fighting method, if the hexagram is like a big murderer, there will be a disaster of blood and light, then what to do with him, it is naturally a good luck. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded. Although Gu Shouzhen's answer made him feel slightly disappointed, he had other plans in his heart, and he was not only trying his best to learn hexagrams, but he was simply crazy, and Gu Shouzhen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he felt that there was a great hope of bringing him into the door wall in five years.

Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and Ji Ruochen only felt that the yin and yang fish and hexagrams in his mind were floating around, and he was already dizzy from learning. He packed up his things, said goodbye to Gu Zhenren with some reluctance, and left the Danfang directly. At this time, it was getting late, and after he had dinner, the Yunfeng Dao Leader would escort him back to Taichang Palace. At this time, Ji Ruochen could often walk a few feet away alone on the rope bridge connecting the two peaks.

"Ji Ruochen!"

Ji Ruochen stopped in astonishment, turned his head to look, and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old little Taoist priest waving to him.

"You are Ji Ruochen, right? Uncle Yunfeng is now in Nandan Room, he is looking for you for something, and I will lead you over. The little Taoist priest said quickly.

Ji Ruochen was slightly stunned, in the past, the head of Yunfeng Dao did everything himself, and he never sent someone to do things. His life is extremely simple, Zhou can't see a decent magic weapon on his body, and Ji Ruochen has never seen him practice swordsmanship, because he has always thought that Yun Feng is just a low-ranking Zhike Taoist.

The little Taoist priest saw that Ji Ruochen was slightly hesitant, and urged with a stack of voices. Ji Ruochen saw that the little Taoist's anxious color was overflowing, and a cunning color faintly flashed in his eyes, and his heart moved slightly at the moment, knowing that something was wrong. But how many fat sheep has Ji Ruochen seen? This little Taoist priest has put a little sinister on his face, for him, he is really a fat sheep that is very easy to deal with. In just an instant, Ji Ruochen seemed to have returned to the Dragon Gate Inn, and many thoughts had been calculated in his mind in an instant.

Ji Ruochen saw that this little Taoist priest had no scheming, and a little deceit was written on his face, and he knew that the rules of the Dezong sect had always been strict, and he had just entered the Taishang Daode Palace, so he was cautious and cautious in everything, and he had never had a conflict with anyone. Ji Ruochen grew up fighting with wild dogs, wolves, and ruffians when he was young, how could this kind of child's game scare him?

He immediately remembered that when he was entrusted with the task of identifying the fat sheep at the beginning of the year, the shopkeeper once said: "When a fat sheep first enters the store, it is most important to find out his details." You have to lower your body and try your best to get close to him, but if you have anything to say, you can say it from the top. This man praised him as a hero, and the woman praised him for looking like a fairy. The fat sheep laughed, looking down on you, and naturally their vigilance disappeared. When you are proud of the fat sheep, they will often brag to themselves a few words, and as soon as this mouth is opened, the bottom will be leaked in a few words. At that time, you served tea, sent underwater medicine, and beat the stuffy stick, and you were invincible. I think Lao Tzu also came over like this back then, and how many heroes were among the fat sheep who came from south to north at that time were not planted in my hands one by one?......"

Ji Ruochen smiled gloomily, that is, he was at peace when he came, he also wanted to see what kind of battle would be in front of him, and who would teach him a lesson. Recognize the enemy, and in the future, you will beat the stick, so that you will not accidentally hurt other fat sheep. He didn't say anything, but just followed the little Taoist priest all the way.

As he walked, the little Taoist priest's demeanor shrank a little, and he deliberately avoided the place where there was no trace, and went to the secluded and uninhabited place. When he reached a junction, the little Taoist priest turned around and turned onto the path on the left. Although this Nandanfang is remote and few disciples go there, Ji Ruochen went there once when he followed Ziyun Zhenren to learn the study of Danding. He clearly remembered that he should go straight ahead from this intersection.

The two of them walked one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, they went around a side door and came to a meadow. As soon as Ji Ruochen stepped out of the side door, there was a sudden bright light in front of him, shaking him to a daze. Ji Ruochen narrowed his eyes, and then he saw that there were more than ten young people standing on the grass, either Taoist or vulgar, like stars holding the moon, surrounded by a little girl with pink makeup, who looked like they were all eleven or twelve years old. One of the little Taoist priests held a purple gold exquisite pagoda in his hand, and the countless small windows on the tower revealed a ray of Dao light, illuminating this large area of grass as bright as day.

The girl pointed to Ji Ruochen and shouted, "Are you the eighteen-year-old Ji Ruochen who is illiterate?" The onlookers burst into laughter, pointed at Ji Ruochen, and talked about it.

The girl was sweet-looking, and her voice was clear and waxy, and she sounded very useful. It's just that she is obviously arrogant, but when she speaks, she is arrogant and arrogant. Ji Ruochen saw that she was extremely luxuriously dressed, and knew that this kind of girl must have a background, and if she couldn't figure it out, it was a real person's relatives and friends. This kind of child is the most unprovoked, since he recognizes people clearly, Ji Ruochen doesn't want to cause more trouble, and he wants to leave when he turns around.

Before he could turn around, a childish shout suddenly came from behind him: "Yin Yin asked you something! You haven't answered yet, do you want to leave?" Before the shout fell, there was an incomparable force behind Ji Ruochen. Immediately he flew to his feet, glided several feet through the air, and fell heavily not far in front of the little girl. There was immediately another round of laughter.

This fall was extremely heavy, Ji Ruochen only felt that the limbs and hundreds of bones were scattered, and none of them were painful, but the back waist was pushed numbly, and he lost his feeling heavily.

The little girl snorted and sneered, "It turns out that your Taoism is also so bad, it seems that you haven't even passed the Taiqing Supreme Holy Realm on the first layer of entry." I really don't understand what is so good about you, you deserve to be valued so much by your father!"

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly, endured the pain on his body, gritted his teeth, and slowly stood up. These children don't look at their talents, and they have cultivated Taoism, but after all, they are young and their minds are not yet fully opened. Bullying people is no different from ordinary market children. He looked back and saw that it was the little Taoist priest who brought him to push the man. Ji Ruochen knew that the little Taoist priest's push to transform the external force with the true yuan was already the kung fu of the second-order Spirit Saint Realm.

The little Taoist priest walked up to Ji Ruochen with a smile and said, "You still reply honestly, with my clear heart, you don't want to escape." ”

Ji Ruochen smiled bitterly. That little girl is obviously of noble birth, and that's all, but if a bullying guy like Mingxin fuels his arrogance, there will be trouble in the future. Ji Ruochen has been rolling between life and death since he was a child, and he was born with a bloody and brave spirit in his bones. He looked at the little girl, as if he wanted to say something, but just as everyone was staring and listening, Ji Ruochen suddenly turned around and punched Mingxin's little Taoist priest in the abdomen! Mingxin's face turned snow-white in an instant, and he rolled to the ground with his hands on his belly.

When the teenagers saw it, they immediately shouted, hugged down, and knocked Ji Ruochen to the ground in a few strokes. Ji Ruochen didn't resist either, he only covered his head and face with his hands, and let those children kick and beat. These children are not very old, but they have been cultivating for several years, and their fists and toes are all attached to the true yuan, and they are different, they can be called the five elements, the four elephants are complete, and each time Ji Ruochen hurts into the bone marrow. They saw that Ji Ruochen didn't struggle, didn't resist, and didn't call, for some reason, a chill gradually grew in their hearts, and they were afraid that they would fight too hard and cause trouble, so they gradually withdrew.

Ji Ruochen snorted and staggered to his feet. Although he tried his best to protect his head and face, these children didn't know how serious they were, so he also received a few hard blows on his face, and the corners of his eyes were swollen.

Although the little girl was arrogant, seeing that his face was damaged, she was also a little scared in her heart, and shouted: "Ji Ruochen! Let me ask you, did my father give you a Zixia Town Soul Ding?"

"Zixia Town Soul Ding?" Ji Ruochen was stunned, and then remembered that a few days ago, Jingxiao Zhenren had indeed given him a purple tripod and a few pieces of dark and dull spices, and told him to use this tripod to burn incense around him when he meditated, so he said: "Jingxiao Zhenren gave me a purple tripod......"

Before he could finish speaking, the little girl said angrily: "Zixia Town Soul Ding has always been something I use, but Dad gave it to you! What is so good about you that deserves such attention from Dad? Don't talk nonsense, today you and I will try your swordsmanship, if you win, Zixia Town Soul Ding will belong to you, if you lose, return it to me!"

At this time, a small Taoist priest walked up next to him and handed the two wooden swords to the two of them. Ji Ruochen didn't want to have another incident at this time, so he didn't take the wooden sword, but just said: "Since the Zixia Town Soul Ding is yours, then I will return you." ”

The shopkeeper once said to him: "The cycle of heaven is unpleasant." Therefore, the ancients said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Even if there is a fat sheep that can't be eaten for a while, and he has to let him go, it doesn't matter. Let's wait patiently, and one day he will fall into my hands. The shopkeeper's life's work is in running a black shop, so if he encounters a fat sheep that cannot be swallowed, he will be regarded as a great shame and a great shame, and he vows to make an enmity with the fat sheep.

When Ji Ruochen was young, he worshiped the shopkeeper as a god, and he remembered every word he said in his heart. It is because he just wants to settle the matter in front of him, and wait for the future to find out the way, and after the Daode Sect has gained a firm foothold, it is not too late to take revenge. As long as time passes, the flock of fat sheep in front of him is not his meal?

But the little girl didn't want to let him go, she waved the wooden sword in her hand and shouted: "What do you mean by this? I, Zhang Yinyin, am not a bully, since I want Zixia Zhen Soul Ding, of course I have to rely on my own ability to take it back! Today, you can compare this sword, and you can compare it if you don't compare it!"

Ji Ruochen was extremely helpless, so he had to take the sword with a wry smile, planning to parry indiscriminately, and then admit defeat. As soon as the wooden sword was in his hand, he suddenly covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed violently.

Zhang Yinyin frowned and said, "What, do you want to pretend to be dead before you compare?" Several boys looked at each other, looking a little weak. When they punched and kicked, a few of them used dark energy.

Ji Ruochen quietly wiped the blood from his lips with the sleeves of his robe, shook the wooden sword, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's do it!"

Zhang Yinyin nodded, stood the wooden sword in the center of his eyebrows, muttered a sword trick, and suddenly shouted, the wooden sword emitted a misty green qi, stabbing towards Ji Ruochen like lightning and thunder!

Ji Ruochen was taken aback, and for a while he felt a blue light in front of him, and he couldn't see the momentum of the wooden sword at all, so he had to swing the sword indiscriminately to block it. His arm shook suddenly, and the wooden sword flew out of his hand, and then his chest was as if he had been hit by a very heavy iron hammer, and his eyes were black, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!

In a trance, Ji Ruochen's eyes suddenly saw again, and he took in everything around him. It's just that he can't hear any sound, and the whole world is extremely quiet, and it is also extremely slow!

He watched the blue light on Zhang Yinyin's wooden sword turn stronger little by little, at first she was the sword, and then she was the sword master; he looked at Zhang Yinyin, his eyes were first confused, then panicked, and finally scared. She couldn't control the wooden sword in her hand, although the sword had no edge, but the power of this sword was enough to open Ji Ruochen's chest and abdomen!

Ji Ruochen saw that the whole body of the wooden sword had turned cyan, and before the blade of the sword arrived, the strength attached to the sword had already rushed his body into the air! When the blade of the sword reached the body, the wooden sword suddenly deflected, and instead lit the bluestone that Ji Ruochen was wearing on his chest.

At this time, everything Ji Ruochen saw and thought was surprisingly slow.

The bluestone was hit by the wooden sword, and a layer of five-colored brilliance rippled outward, like a circle of ripples slowly spreading outward. The wooden sword was attracted by this brilliance, and the blue light suddenly brightened, and then it split into countless wooden threads in an instant, floating in the air. The roots of the wood silk swirled and slowly cracked into more subtle wood wires, and so on, after a moment of effort, a good end of a wooden sword turned into a ball of green energy.

At this time, Ji Ruochen's body was only one foot off the ground, and blood poured out from the corner of his mouth. For some reason, his mind suddenly connected with the bluestone. In Ji Ruochen's spiritual sense, the bluestone is like a flat lake, bottomless. From time to time, a big blister is swallowed out in the lake, but if you look closely, it is a mysterious text, which is like an ancient seal, but it is plausible. When those ancient seals emerged from the lake one after another, their meaning emerged from Ji Ruochen's divine consciousness by itself, and the feeling at that moment was really wonderful.

That ball of green qi seemed to be attracted by Ji Ruochen's mind, and it branched out a wisp and entered his body, and most of the rest surged uncertainly, and suddenly turned into a cyan storm, surging violently around, knocking Zhang Yinyin upside down and flying out.

A soft click came from nowhere, shattering the silent world that Ji Ruochen saw. At this time, he felt a wave of disgust in his chest, and a mouthful of blood finally spurted out, and then his eyes went black, and he only felt that his body was light, as if in the clouds. In a trance, Ji Ruochen seemed to hear a noisy cry of pain and crying, and then the world was quiet again, and he could no longer hear any sound.

But the hundreds of ancient seals that emerged from the bluestone kept arranging in Ji Ruochen's divine sense, and finally synthesized an immortal formula. He didn't recognize any of these words, but the meaning of the whole immortal recipe was engraved in his divine consciousness by itself, as if he were born with a good understanding of the immortal formula.

The name of this immortal recipe is the recipe for dissociation.
