It’s so difficult! It’s so difficult!

The clouds and water are leisurely and the turbulent waves of the Milky Way become much calmer as they approach here.

A young girl, wearing a royal blue satin dress with arrow sleeves and with her black hair tied up with a belt, sat cross-legged on the bluestone, looking at the light in front of her with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes.

She gave the mirror to Qi Wuhuo, and used the magic weapon that was originally available here. She could also use the [Circular Light Revealing Method]. However, looking at the description of the magical power that appeared on it, especially the young man's evaluation, she couldn't help but grit her teeth:

"This is too, too difficult!"

"You still say it's simple."

"Qi Wuhuo!!! How could you think this is easy!"

"Right, Uncle Niu?"

The girl gritted her teeth and looked at the old ox next to her, only to see that the latter did not answer her.

I had no choice but to hold my chin with both hands, sighed sadly, and said:

“I studied for a whole day and still didn’t learn it…”

“It was hard to write two words.”

The old ox slowly ate the [rhubarb sprouts] grown in the [Heavenly Field]. The reason why the spiritual roots grew so slowly was that they only produced three dou and three liters in a thousand years. Some of the sprouts were eaten by the old ox. For a person with such cultivation level, this thing was of no benefit other than satisfying his craving for food.

Hearing this, he just smiled and comforted: "After all, he is that person's disciple."

He commented admiringly:

"With his current foundation and cultivation, it's only good enough for him to learn the [Circular Light Manifestation Method] in a year."

"But we can still create this magical power within a year and use it to send messages."

"You can already say that you are gifted."

Yunqin nodded, expressing her approval of the rare friend of the same age as a matter of course.

Said: "Qi Wuhuo is a genius!"

“And it’s fun!”

Then he blinked his eyes and said coquettishly, "Uncle Niu, can you help me cast this spell and help me pass the message?"

"This is too difficult. If I had learned it, it would have been several days ago."

The old ox shook his head slowly and laughed, "Since it's just a joke between you kids, I don't want to interfere. Besides, Qi Wuhuo can create such a spell, can't you even practice and learn it? You are also taught by a famous teacher, and you are much stronger than the previous Wuhuo. How can you be so lazy?!"

"If your cultivation is not good enough and you cannot survive for long, even your parents will not be able to help you."

"If your spiritual and mental cultivation is not strong enough, you will not be able to withstand the hardships accumulated over a long period of life. The soul of an ordinary person can only hold memories of a hundred and twenty years. If he lives for a thousand years, he will either keep forgetting memories, and eventually even forget himself. His spiritual nature will be completely filled with countless broken memories, turning into a turbid mess."

“That’s why people tend to forget things when they get old.”

“The so-called ‘death without illness’ means that the body is still alive, but the soul is dead.”

"Otherwise it will collapse under the strain of time."

“It is often said that if one cultivates the mind but not the life, it will be difficult for the Yin spirit to become a saint. However, the mind and nature of the Yin spirit can survive for a long time. However, if one only eats natural treasures to prolong the life of the physical body without cultivating the mind and nature, for the soul, the physical body is no longer a boat to help resist the wind and frost, but a prison, a prison without a door and without light.”

"Because the spirit is weak, it is simply unable to endure the long years of experience; nor can it drive a strong body that can survive for a thousand years."

"If the spirit and the body are not compatible, the spirit will eventually collapse in the body."

"This is the aging of the immortals. It is not the aging of the body, but the aging of the mind."

"Yunqin, you must keep this in mind and not slack off at all."

The old ox gave earnest instructions, but at the end he became a little strict.

The girl nodded and took note of it, then had to ponder over the spell. She had mastered it in just one day, but she was not very proficient in it. The transmission of her magic power was not stable enough, causing the text of the message to always fall apart halfway. After a long time, bursts of thunder were heard from the sky, and when the rays of light were flowing, one could see the thunders running around, and the momentum was quite huge.

The old ox raised his head: "Strange."

"The immortals in the Divine Sky Jade Purity Thunder Palace seem to have changed. Could it be that something went wrong?"

"Those immortals from the Thunder Palace are usually not seen. They are in charge of making clouds and rain, exorcising evil spirits and binding demons. Why are they all out today?"

He wanted to go and have a look. Every day in the sky was dull and boring. It was rare for something to relieve Niu's boredom. But he couldn't abandon the girl in front of him. While hesitating, he saw auspicious clouds floating in the distance. After calculating the time, he was delighted. There was no change on his face. He just said like a gentle elder:

"Yunqin, your teacher [Danhua Fuying Yuanjun] is coming soon."

"That is one of the true teachings of Lingbao Tianzun, who is a good friend of your mother. He is the one who passed on the 'Twenty-seventh Chapter of Lingbao Wuliangdu Renshang Miaojing'. You have the opportunity, but you must practice well with that Yuanjun and don't slack off in the slightest. Do you understand?!"

The girl had no choice but to agree.

When I heard the teacher's name, I felt both fear and awe.

The old ox waited until the auspicious clouds dispersed and Yuanjun arrived, then he exchanged a few words of greeting. Then, auspicious clouds appeared on all four of its feet and it headed in the direction of the thunder. It had been stuck in the Heavenly Palace for too long, and it was a rare opportunity to come across something fun, so it had to go and take a look and join in the fun. In a short while, it had become familiar with the immortal from the Thunder Palace and was asking around.

Yunqin had no choice but to hide the spells and wait obediently for her teacher.

The Yuanjun looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had a neatly made-up look and looked quite serious. She had a goose-yellow belt around her waist that lightly bound her slender waist. She wore cloud shoes on her feet, which were supported by auspicious clouds. She had jade pendants and bells hanging down from her legs. Her hair was in a bun with black hair and a golden phoenix hairpin with its wings spread out inserted diagonally. There was a cinnabar mark on her forehead, but her lips were pale and thin. Her eyes turned slightly, which gave her a bit of fierceness.

Yunqin, wearing a tight-fitting outfit with arrow sleeves, saluted obediently.

Yuan Jun lowered his eyes and looked at her, then nodded slightly. He asked her to sit on the bluestone and re-explained the wonderful scriptures, saying: "Your current cultivation level is not enough for you to be my disciple. You must first practice the [True Scripture], and then I will teach you the secret formula and supernatural powers. As long as you understand the core of cultivation and the true secret formula, even if there is no specific secret formula, those with high comprehension can also understand the method of cultivation by watching the sun rise and the moon set."

"Watching the sun rise and the moon set to open up a new door?"

Yunqin asked, "Is there really such a person?"

Danhua Fuying Yuanjun shook his head and said, "If there is no such person, who created the method you are practicing now?"

"Since our predecessors were able to establish their own schools, why can't the later generations do the same? We shouldn't always be inferior to our predecessors, right?"

"If that's the case, those ancestors should feel regretful."

Yunqin nodded, and continued to learn the mysteries hidden in the scripture under the guidance of her teacher. When her spirit became a little sluggish and she was unable to understand these things, Yuanjun naturally stopped and let the girl digest what she had learned today. Yunqin slowly integrated her gains and felt that she was a little closer to her understanding of practice and the Tao.

Yet it still seems very far away.

It's like being covered by fog, unable to see clearly, as if it exists and not exists.

Danhua Fuying Yuanjun said in a rare gentle tone: "Practice cannot be rushed, you have to take your time, and taking it easy is the right way."

"If you push yourself too hard and too fast, it may seem like you are practicing hard every day, but in fact your spirit is tense, like the sun hanging high in the sky, never coming down. Over time, it will inevitably lead to damage to your foundation and loss of spirituality. It is better to spend more time playing."

Yun Qin nodded, and after finishing her narration of the scripture, she naturally asked about some secrets of magic spells and magical powers.

Danhua Fuying Yuanjun answered them one by one.

Yunqin suddenly had an idea. She remembered the spell that the young Taoist had created. It was difficult for her to learn, but the teacher could see through it at a glance. She should ask for advice. So she took out the spell she had copied down and said, "Teacher, what do you think of this magical power?"

Danhua Fu Yingyuanjun took it with a slight smile, glanced at it, and said in surprise:

"Is this... a self-created spell based on the method of the round light revealing form in the Shangqing Mingjian Zhenjing?"

The girl nodded repeatedly.

Yuan Jun read the complete spell and smiled, "Supreme Goodness."

“Although there are still some immaturity and mistakes in the details, it is natural and calm, and has its own style.”

“It can be classified as a [magic method].”

"Although the Miao Fa is only the lowest of the five categories of the Daoist Canon and cannot be compared with the Xuan Zhang and Zhen Jing, you can create this thing with such cultivation. It seems that I have underestimated you before. My disciple also has such comprehension."

Yunqin had a boastful expression on her face and was about to say that this was created by her friend.

Then he heard Danhua Fuying Yuanjun laugh and say, "However, you clearly have the [Ancient Mirror with Dragon Pattern], but you don't rely on external objects to perform the method of circular light manifestation, but create your own method. Such behavior of relying on your own cultivation and Taoism is also in line with the character of my Taoist disciples."

The girl paused.

She suddenly sensed something wrong in her teacher's tone.

The little head turned around and asked cautiously:

"Teacher, what is the [Dragon Pattern Ancient Mirror]..."

Danhua Fuying Yuanjun was reading this scroll of magic, feeling very happy, and replied with a smile:

"Don't you know?"

"Your parents are getting married. Since Grand Master Uncle asked for it, my master [Great Compassion and Great Wish, Great Saint and Great Mercy, Jade Palace Daoist Sovereign, Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable] gave you one of the spiritual treasures he refined casually that year. And because your parents are both star monarchs under the command of the Northern Emperor, this item was refined by my master and delivered by the Northern Emperor himself."

"A gift for your parents' wedding."

"It's considered a treasure. Your mother gave it to you so casually. It's good for you."

"Qin'er, are you still keeping it well?"
