Chapter 12 Choosing a Master
There were two people sitting in Elder Yuan's cave.
On the main seat, there was a young Taoist priest wearing a purple Taoist robe. He looked only in his twenties or thirties. He was a Taoist with a fairy-like appearance and a transcendental demeanor.
The Taoist priest smiled, and without saying a word, he made people feel like spring breeze.
Yuan Mobai.
The last disciple of the previous generation of the Heavenly Master, and the younger brother of the current Heavenly Master.
Speaking of which, Wang Guiyuan, who looked about thirty years old, seemed to be older than his master, Elder Yuan, just by looking at his appearance.
I don't know whether to say that Elder Yuan has a way to keep his youthful appearance, or that Senior Brother Wang is mature.
Unlike the warm and gentle spring breeze of the cave owner, the other side of the cave was a completely opposite scene.
On the guest seat, a young girl was wrapped in a black cloak, revealing only a small face, and her skin was too pale to look like a living person.
Fortunately, she did not intend to steal the show, and the slight chill only remained on one side of the cave, not affecting the atmosphere of the entire cave.
After Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan came forward to greet him, Elder Yuan smiled at Lei Jun and said, "The divine creature is self-concealed, and its edge is restrained. It is really a top seedling."
His tone was gentle and generous, which made Lei Jun feel the same as when he read the letter.
Elder Yuan looked at Xu Yuanzhen next to him and said, "Your junior brother Yuanzhen has good eyesight."
Xu Yuanzhen: "I didn't pay attention to his talent at the time."
Lei Jun: "..."
Wang Guiyuan: "..."
Elder Yuan smiled and said, "Then why did you bring him back to the mountain?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "... Although I don't want to admit it, I think he is quite pleasing to the eye."
The purple-robed nun, who had always been calm and even indifferent, had a change of expression for the first time. She frowned and looked Lei Jun up and down again. Her expression did not look like she saw someone she liked.
It was not directed at Lei Jun.
She didn't like similar feelings when she came into contact with anyone.
Lei Jun: "I also felt close to my senior sister the first time I saw her."
Xu Yuanzhen: "Don't be so nice."
Thanks for the first fortune after coming to this world... Lei Jun smiled.
Master Yuanchang and his apprentice did not seem surprised by Xu Yuanzhen's appearance.
Wang Guiyuan sighed: "To be honest, I was really worried that Junior Brother Lei started late, but now I see that I was worrying too much."
This is not the first person who lamented that Lei Jun started late and was too old when he started practicing.
Lei Jun can understand it.
After all, for practitioners in this world, the realm of cultivation is not only related to talent, will and strength, but also closely related to life span and personal physical condition.
As the realm of cultivation improves, the life state of practitioners is indeed no longer the same as that of ordinary people.
However, just like the sun, moon and stars, which seem to exist forever, they also have their own lifespan and will also age and die.
The cultivators in this world also have adolescence with vigorous growth, a prime age with slow growth and can only maintain their status, an old age with slow decline, and a twilight age with extremely rapid aging and weakness.
The time of the first-level Qi-refining cultivators is particularly tight, and their life span is similar to that of ordinary people, most of them are no more than a hundred years old.
The biggest hope for prolonging life is to successfully break through to the second-level foundation building.
Only after the foundation building is successful can the life span be extended to 200 years.
But there is not much time left for Qi-refining cultivators to improve.
This growth window period that is most suitable for cultivation is actually only about the first quarter of one's life.
That is, before the age of about 20 to 25.
After the age of 25, the speed of cultivation improvement will slow down significantly.
After the age of 25, Qi-refining cultivators can try to refine magic tools, practice combat methods, accumulate more experience, and make their own combat effectiveness stronger.
But the progress of cultivation improvement begins to be half the result with twice the effort.
The prime of life from 25 to 50 years old is roughly the peak of the personal combat ability of Qi Refining cultivators, but from the perspective of improving the realm of cultivation, it is more like a plateau period.
However, there is still some hope. Although the possibility of continuing to move forward is declining, it will not be cut off.
However, friends who have not yet established their foundation at the age of 50, congratulations, you are in the Qi Refining realm in this life, and the 100-year-old limit is waiting for you.
And your personal state will begin to slowly decline around the age of 50.
At around the age of 75, you will enter the twilight years, and everything will fall like jumping off a cliff.
Some of the managers and shopkeepers I met at the Qingyundang River Beach were also Taoist children under the Tianshi Mansion.
The reason why they left Longhu Mountain and stopped learning Taoism and were assigned other jobs by the mansion was because they were getting older, their cultivation stagnated, and they eventually had to give up the Tao.
Lei Jun came to the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain with Xu Yuanzhen when he was 18 years old. Fortunately, in the more than one year since he entered the sect, his cultivation realm has been constantly improving, and he has made rapid progress, faster than many Taoist children.
Wang Guiyuan sighed: "No matter what, Junior Brother Lei has a good understanding and commendable aspirations. Now his physique and talent have finally been revealed, and the future is bright."
He smiled slightly: "If the Qianlong spirit body can continue to transform and improve, there are also the Tenglong Saint Body and the legendary Huanglong Immortal Body.
Of course, if Junior Brother Lei has another opportunity, the Qianlong spirit body may not be able to transform and improve into other better cultivation physiques."
Lei Jun: "Don't expect too much, but thank you for your good words, Senior Brother Wang."
Xu Yuanzhen: "It's less than two months before the ordination ceremony, and the master has not yet come out of retreat."
Elder Yuan: "The head brother had previously leaked a decree that he would come out of retreat during this New Year, so don't be impatient."
Xu Yuanzhen nodded, then looked at Lei Jun:
"Since you have waited for the master to come out of retreat, do you want to try?
You have a better chance now that you have awakened the latent dragon spirit. "
In other words, without the latent dragon spirit, the chance is actually very small... Lei Jun was not surprised by this conclusion.
The original small chance was entirely due to Xu Yuanzhen's face and the Tianshi's own thoughts.
After all, the Tianshi's personal teaching has a different meaning.
Not to mention that the Tianshi himself is the number one master of Longhu Mountain and one of the few giants in the world of Taoism. It is incomparable for other elders to teach his disciples personally.
Other treatments are not comparable to ordinary disciples.
Not only will various cultivation resources be accumulated first, but the various blessed places and caves controlled by the Tianshi Mansion will also be opened to the Tianshi's personal teaching first.
For example, the green thunder cage on the top of Longhu Mountain The fairyland covered by the sky is called Shangqing Leifu Dongtian.
The Li family's children have become more and more high-profile in recent years, but they are still not allowed to enter without permission.
But the disciples of the Heavenly Master can.
Perhaps some people think that this arrangement is unfair.
But the disciples of the Heavenly Master have always been the best of their peers in the palace.
Looking at the world, they are still geniuses among geniuses.
The objects of their comparison are the peers of other major families and holy places.
It is not surprising that good steel is used on the blade.
Lei Jun's roots were mediocre before, so it was naturally difficult for the Heavenly Master to make an exception.
Now that he has been promoted to a spiritual body, the situation is naturally different.
Lei Jun looked at Yuan Chang at this time. Old.
The other party was as gentle as ever, not minding at all, and his eyes showed encouragement.
But the light ball in Lei Jun's mind suddenly flashed again, and words appeared:
【The foundation is small, and there is another fork in the road. You can choose to continue to fly high or rise and fall. It all depends on your heart. 】
Lei Jun agreed with this.
Life is mostly like this.
If you take the right step in the previous step, you will take off, but the next step may be empty.
It takes continuous correct choices for destiny to really take off.
After the light ball flashed, two sticks flew out this time and appeared in Lei Jun's sea of consciousness:
【Middle-upper stick, down-to-earth, choose the famous teacher in front of you, and get four Enjoy the opportunity, seize the chance, concentrate on practicing, accumulate a lot, but the cause and effect are entangled, the future needs to be cautious, auspicious. 】
[Middle-lower sign, have lofty ambitions, strive for the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, but the road is bumpy, bad luck. 】
Lei Jun was surprised.
The fortune is as vague as the previous times, but combined with the real situation and the current situation, it is clear at a glance.
Middle-upper sign, choose a suitable master... The subtext is that the best may not be the most suitable?
Middle-lower sign, mirror flowers and water moons... So, you can't be taught by the Heavenly Master, and even the next step is very bumpy.
... Could it be that the contemporary Heavenly Master, a great Taoist master, is about to collapse or be unlucky?
