Chapter 44 Senior Brother and I Go to the Banquet Together

Since entering the Taoist temple in the capital, Wu Yi often saw fellow Taoists from other prefectures and counties being led in by Taoists from the temple. Although he did not know where they were placed specifically, it was certain that they were placed in the outer courtyard like Wu Yi.

Compared with the desolation in front of Wu Yi's door, some people are going around making friends, singing, dancing and feasting. Most of them are children of aristocratic families. One of the ways for a big family to survive is not to put their eggs in one basket. Their children are scattered all over the country, and there are even large cross-border families, which can compete with some sects.

Wu Yi, who is alone, does not have so many relationships to maintain, and he is quite free. He meditates all day long just like he did in the mountain gate. However, with his current state, if he does not have other adventures, he will not be able to achieve the four changes in a year and a half. Peak.

After seeing the fire lion transformed from Fan Mingqing's spiritual energy, Wu Yi inquired about this aspect and learned that if a disciple reaches the peak of the Four Transformations and has no further progress, he will be given the opportunity to go to the inner sect to further practice every year. Some people take this opportunity to step into the foundation and enter the inner sect, but this opportunity only lasts for a month, and they need to leave the inner sect after one month. Compared with those disciples who became the true disciples of the inner sect when they were in the first level of Qi Refining, this is naturally inferior. It took a lot, but at least it left a way out for other disciples.

In fact, many disciples who have not become true disciples of the inner sect often reach the foundation-building realm after practicing one or two transformations on top of the fourth transformation. At the peak of the fourth transformation, the spiritual energy in the Dantian is already full enough to try to open the body's orifices. Some of the changes are to expel the impurities in the aura and make the aura more pure, and some are ways to transform the aura. It is not necessary to practice, but undoubtedly if you continue to practice, you can lay a solid foundation for yourself in the future.

Naturally, the stronger the foundation, the better, but for some disciples who have spent ten years or more even cultivating to the peak of the Four Transformations, being able to build the foundation and extend their lifespan is their pursuit. The generals in charge have practiced nine changes one after another. Even if they can live in the inner gate forever, it will be in vain when the time comes.

Disciples who have not perfected the Nine Transformations cannot become true disciples. Even disciples who were originally true disciples will be deprived of their status as true disciples if they do not perfect the Nine Transformations in Qi Refining. The senior brother Wu Yi asked about does not know the specific reason, but the Yiqi Sect Since the cultivation system in Qi Refining is different from other sects, there is a reason. Perhaps it has something to do with fundamental Dafa. The last senior brother Fu Er said this to Wu Yi.

The fundamental method is superior to the three skills and nine classics, but the foundation of cultivation requires the level of golden elixir. Only the true method can be practiced in the sect. As his cultivation level increased, Wu Yi gradually came into contact with more secrets of the sect.

Wu Yi originally thought that he would spend his time practicing before the king's birthday. Unexpectedly, about half a month before his birthday, Wu Yi heard a call from outside the door.

Hearing that the person outside the door was Fan Mingqing, whom he had not seen for many days, Wu Yi ended his cultivation state and opened the door, only to see a large group of people standing outside the door. They were all dressed in brocade, wearing jade swords, and looked extraordinary. You know he comes from a wealthy family.

Wu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the leader, Fan Mingqing, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Before Fan Mingqing had time to explain, a person behind him said: "Brother Fan, is this the Wu Yi you are talking about? How come he hasn't even completed the Four Transformations yet?"

This person's tone seemed very rude, but Wu Yi was not angry either. Those who could be with Fan Mingqing would not be any worse in cultivation. They should all be above the Four Transformations.

Fan Mingqing smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "Brother Xu, Junior Brother Wu has only been practicing Taoism for more than three months!"

As soon as Fan Mingqing finished speaking, a female cultivator laughed out loud and said, "Xu Feng, did you feel angry in March?"

Xu Feng didn't take it seriously when the female cultivator mocked him. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Wu Yi and said, "Junior brother, it's senior brother Meng Lang."

Wu Yi hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Senior Brother Xu has offended Junior Brother. Junior Brother is indeed of low cultivation, but there is nothing wrong with him."

Xu Feng laughed loudly and said: "Junior brother is a wonderful person. I heard from Brother Fan that you have mastered the three transformations and are accumulating magic power, so I will give this object to you." He threw an object towards Wu Yi.

Wu Yi raised his hand to take it, and when he opened his hand, he saw that it was a black and red pill, engraved with spiritual patterns, and there was a faint fragrance when he sniffed it.

Fan Mingqing glanced at it and said, "This is the Great Return Pill, one pill can be worth a month's hard work."

Wu Yi knew that Fan Mingqing was afraid that he would not recognize the object, so he warned her. However, even if Wu Yi did not recognize the object, the courtesy would not be lacking.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Xu Feng." Wu Yi said.

Hearing the change of title, from senior brother to senior brother Xu and then to senior brother Xu Feng, Xu Feng raised the corners of his mouth and nodded to Wu Yi, which was regarded as accepting Wu Yi's gift.

"Huh." The female cultivator who had spoken to Wu Yi before looked at Wu Yi dissatisfied and said angrily.

Wu Yi smiled helplessly at this senior sister as an apology. He was not an ignorant person, so how could he not see the intention behind this senior sister? It was true to help him, but it was true to provoke and suppress Xu Feng, but after all, she helped Wu Yi when Xu Feng was mocking Wu Yi, and Wu Yi It is also not good to be the person who repays kindness with hatred. Even though he is being used, it is not good to say anything.

If he followed the senior sister's tone and stood on the opposite side of Xu Feng, he could indeed express his bad temper and take the opportunity to have a relationship with the senior sister, but he would offend Xu Feng because of it. Wu Yi did not become the two The consciousness of the competing chess pieces.

But whether it is to vent one's anger or to establish a relationship with this senior sister, it is false and unreliable. On the contrary, this senior sister may regard it as unwise and become a discarded pawn because of such performance.

Yes, even if he was once her chess piece, he would be discarded. Wu Yi's rejection of the path he gave would make him look at him with new eyes and dare not regard him as a chess piece at will.

Besides, there are benefits to rejection. Wu Yi said secretly.

Hearing the female cultivator's hum, Xu Feng said with a smile: "Wang Yanran, what are you humming about? This matter has nothing to do with you."

How could Xu Feng not see Wang Yanran's purpose? As for if Wu Yi and Wang Yanran stood together, he would not be afraid. If he was so easily used by others, no matter how good his talent was, it would be nothing but a handful of yellow soil on the road of cultivation. It would eventually dissipate.

Wang Yanran seemed to have expected this when Xu Feng counterattacked. She continued to hum, but she did not continue to entangle and turned her eyes away.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the host Fan Mingqing spoke up: "It's a rare opportunity for all the Taoist friends to gather together on the occasion of the king's birthday. Why not have a drink?"

Everyone agreed. Since he was called out by Fan Mingqing, Wu Yi would not be the one to ruin the atmosphere. He also nodded in agreement. It would actually be more helpful for him to make friends with these senior brothers and sisters who had entered the inner gate, especially for the secrets of the inner gate. The reason why Fan Mingqing and others invited Wu Yi was to bet that even if Wu Yi did not become a true disciple in the future, he would enter their level in the future. Therefore, they made friends in advance and got to know each other.

The cultivators of Taoism are known for their pure hearts and few desires. In fact, there is no difference between them and ordinary people, but their pursuits are slightly different. Ordinary people may pursue being made a marquis immediately, being appointed as prime minister, and glorifying their ancestors, but all the actions of the cultivators are to live as long as the heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, and to seek longevity. Both have desires, but one is big and the other is small.

Cultivators often mention wealth, friends, Dharma, and land. Friends refer to the relationship with the people around them. If you handle the relationship with the people around you well, you will get more support, which will in turn affect the other three.

Make friends as much as possible, not only friends with higher cultivation than yourself, but also friends with lower cultivation but higher potential. In comparison, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to help in times of trouble. The latter is risky, but the rewards are definitely worth it. In addition, making friends with the former is more likely to be regarded as a sycophant, causing people to laugh and look down on you, while making friends with the latter will make people feel that you are respectful and elegant.

After joining this group of people, Wu Yi realized that he was not the first disciple to be invited to join. There were already two before him, and two more joined later. A total of five new disciples were invited to join their team. Although they joined in the middle, Wu Yi found that the people standing in the front row were always different every time he invited disciples. If you count the people in the field, it is not difficult to find that one senior brother or sister invited a new disciple, a total of ten people.

Wu Yi, who only brought his eyes and ears, gradually heard the names of the other two brothers during their conversation. They were Yan Mingzhi and Wei Qingyuan. Wang Yanran was the only female cultivator.

Although Wu Yi and Xu Feng made Wang Yanran very embarrassed, Wang Yanran didn't seem to care about it. She kept asking Wu Yi questions. She didn't ask about cultivation, but whether he had any female disciples he liked and whether he needed him to introduce them. This made Wu Yi blush and he had to remain silent, which made Wang Yanran glare at him and ridicule him for not knowing the customs.

Finally, he arrived at the restaurant that Fan Mingqing had booked. When he looked up, he found that it was called the Exiled Immortal Building. Wu Yi finally got rid of Wang Yanran's harassment temporarily and got a moment of peace.

The restaurant looked very ordinary from the outside, but after entering, it was warm like spring, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, which was very different from the scene of the cold wind whistling outside the door. The incense in the stove was curling, which had the effect of clearing the mind and calming the heart.

The waitresses standing on both sides were wearing light gauze and smiling. Fan Mingqing approached a woman who was obviously dressed differently from the other waitresses and spoke to her. This woman should be the leader.

After Fan Mingqing explained his purpose, the woman nodded slightly and said to the woman behind him: "Xiao Wan, take the guests to Qingzi Courtyard."

Wu Yi and his party then came to a quiet courtyard under the leadership of the woman called Wan'er.

"Junior Brother Wu, you are here too." A crisp voice came, and Wu Yi couldn't help but look sideways. It was Ge Yiyi.

"Well, Senior Brother Fan's kindness is hard to refuse." Wu Yi pointed to Fan Mingqing not far away and said.

Ge Yiyi glanced at Fan Mingqing and nodded, said goodbye to Wu Yi, and walked into another courtyard. Wu Yi also walked into the courtyard called Qingzi Courtyard.

Looking at the people with Wu Yi from the corner, Ge Yunyi's eyes flashed, thinking in his heart.
