Shen Jiangyue paused deliberately in the middle of his speech, as if he wanted to whet the appetite of his newly accepted cheap disciple.
However, Gu Dan's eyes did not change at all. He just looked at her calmly, as if he had no expectation of getting anything priceless from her.
This reaction made Shen Jiangyue feel a little helpless. He said, "How can you be so serious and reserved at such a young age? It's really boring."
"I have worked hard in the secular world and have been very careful and cautious along the way. I dare not neglect my duties at any time."
Gu Dan said as if explaining or answering.
"oh?"
Shen Jiangyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then how dare you argue with Master Zheng just now?"
"It is intolerable that our Master should be humiliated."
Gu Dan answered seriously.
Facts have proved that no matter how old you are, no matter how accomplished you are, it is inevitable that you will feel happy when you hear such high EQ flattery.
For example, Shen Jiangyue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, he was quite pleased with the answer in his heart, especially when his disciple was so honest, well-behaved, and cautious, and was willing to risk offending a senior elder to speak for him.
This further proves that the disciple was not mistaken.
"Okay, okay. I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are good at pleasing the master."
Shen Jiangyue stretched out her jade-white hand, apparently wanting to touch Gu Dan's head - Gu Dan subconsciously wanted to dodge, as no one had ever treated him like this in his entire life.
Fortunately, Shen Jiangyue seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She tilted her hand slightly and finally landed on Gu Dan's shoulder, patting him gently a few times.
This kind of action is usually done by close people.
"The gifts for you are ready. The opportunity of the flawless golden elixir level that I promised you before is the sect's investment in you. It cannot be considered a gift from me to you."
Shen Jiangyue withdrew her hand, then flipped it over, and a small and exquisite-looking cauldron with nine lifelike dragon heads carved on it appeared in her hand.
In fact, the original gift for the disciple was not so good, but Gu Dan gave her the Dragon King, whom he had hunted down at the risk of his life, as a gift for becoming her apprentice. As a result, her master had to change his mind and replace it with a more precious and meaningful gift.
"The Nine Dragon True Cauldron is a rare and top-grade magical instrument. Nine Dragon King-level dragon ball inner pills are embedded on its exterior. When activated, it is like nine giant dragons working together. It can even refine top-grade elixirs without any problem. It is enough for you to use until the Nascent Soul stage."
Shen Jiangyue spoke softly, and continued, "I went through a lot of hardships to get this precious tripod during my Jindan period. It has been with me for a long time. Now I am giving it to you. I hope that the Nine Dragon True Tripod will continue to shine in your hands."
"Thank you, Master."
Gu Dan clasped his fists and bowed, quite surprised at his master's generosity.
A top-grade magic weapon is not something that can be found on the street.
Let’s put it this way, the Qianjun Sword in Wang Qianjun’s hand is a top-grade magic weapon, but it cannot be considered the strongest one.
As the darling of the Chongyue Sect and a top genius who has a Yuanying father protecting him, this is the treatment he gets.
What's more, the value of the magic tools themselves varies. The price of the cauldrons and furnaces used for alchemy is often much more expensive than ordinary magic tools, and they are often out of stock.
There’s nothing we can do about it. Who told the alchemists to have so much money?
The value of this Nine Dragon True Cauldron, which is powerful enough for a person to use until the Nascent Soul stage, is naturally needless to say. It is much more valuable than the corpse of the Dragon King that Gu Dandan gave as a gift for his apprenticeship.
Even many Yuanying masters still use top-grade magic tools! The next level above top-grade magic tools is Dao tools, which are extremely difficult for even a tool refiner to refine. Not only do they require their own strength, but they also need extremely precious treasures that are difficult for even Yuanying masters to obtain! In fact, many top-grade magic tools are not impossible to be promoted to Dao tools, but they suffer from the lack of rare materials and natural Dao patterns, so they can only stop at the level of top-grade magic tools and cannot make any progress.
For most cultivators, even geniuses, being able to obtain a top-grade magical weapon is enough to benefit them for a lifetime, and it is basically the highest level.
In other words, Shen Jiangyue basically solved the problem of the alchemy furnace for him from the root. As for better Taoist weapons, Shen Jiangyue himself did not have any.
"Your fighting ability is not bad. The Nine Dragon True Cauldron can be used for alchemy and as a magic weapon to fight against enemies. However, if the cauldron is damaged, it will be difficult to repair. You'd better be careful."
Shen Jiangyue reluctantly handed the Nine Dragon True Cauldron to Gu Dan, and then said: "In addition, since you have joined the Changsheng Sect, we will naturally provide you with the Changsheng Sect's top methods."
Shen Jiangyue waved his hand, and spiritual energy surged like mist, eventually turning into a large curtain, revealing three different skills.
"Since you have a natural spiritual root of wood attribute, you are perfectly compatible with the Changsheng Sect's unique skill, the 'Ji Shi Changsheng Gong'. This skill is particularly good at fighting, and it is endless. If you practice it for a long time, you will be strong and healthy, and your life will be prolonged. It is also of great benefit to the cultivation of spiritual medicines and other things. It is a practice method that can directly lead to the transformation of gods."
The first thing to be introduced is naturally the Changsheng Sect’s unique martial arts.
The benefits of the Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong are just as she said, which is exactly the origin of the Chang Sheng Sect's name. It is very effective in taking care of oneself, prolonging life, cultivating elixirs, and fighting against others.
But Gu Dan was not very interested.
It's not that the "Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong" is not good. For other cultivators, being able to obtain such a top-notch skill that can increase their lifespan, not drag them down in combat, and even come with the ability to cultivate resources will surely make them so happy that they want to jump for joy.
However, the biggest drawback of "Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong" is that it overlaps too much with his own abilities.
Speaking of life span alone, why would he need the nourishment and improvement of the "Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong"? With the "Xuan Hu Ji Shi" in his body, he can't spend all his life span, it's simply not enough! Besides, when it comes to cultivating spiritual medicine, no matter how powerful the "Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong" is, can it compare to Ruo Mu? Without these two blessings, the advantage of endless life and good fighting skills alone is not enough.
Most of the martial arts can achieve this, and they don’t even need to be at the level of a sect’s unique skills.
In general, "The Art of Longevity and Rescue" is worthy of being the Changsheng Sect's unique martial art, but it fits his abilities too well to be considered as icing on the cake, and is not worthy of selection.
"It seems that you are not interested in the 'Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong'."
Shen Jiangyue glanced at Gu Dan and didn't find his reaction strange.
A sect's unique skills do not necessarily mean they are the best. The best one is the one that suits you.
Anyway, the end point of any martial arts is actually to directly achieve the state of becoming a god. As long as you choose a martial arts method that suits your own spiritual roots and can directly lead you to the state of becoming a god, it doesn't matter whether it is a secret martial art of your sect or not.
After becoming a spirit, the skills are of no use anymore.
"I still want to listen to it before making my choice."
Gu Dan nodded affirmatively.
"The second technique is called 'Yuqing Taishang Jue'. This technique can also lead directly to the state of incarnation. The advantage of this technique is that it strengthens the soul. When you are in the Nascent Soul stage, you can exert the strongest power. At the same time, when you practice this technique, your sea of consciousness will be clear and will not be disturbed by external things.
However, this technique does not have any preference for spiritual roots, and is especially suitable for people with strong spirits. As a wood-attributed spiritual root, you will not have any additional advantages if you choose it."
Shen Jiangyue also introduced the second technique in detail.
The characteristic of this technique is that it can exert its greatest effect at the Nascent Soul stage - this can be called a top-level technique.
For most cultivators, the Nascent Soul stage is a realm they dare not even think about.
Even for those geniuses, the Nascent Soul stage is almost their end point. Is a technique that can exert powerful combat power in the Nascent Soul stage not top-level enough? There is no need for such a technique to go higher. The Divine Transformation cultivators can create their own techniques that are absolutely suitable for themselves. Why should they continue to follow the path of others? "The Nascent Soul stage exerts the greatest combat power?"
Gu Dan frowned slightly. It was not that this technique was bad, it really had no conflict with his own technique, or maybe it was too close to his own technique.
The problem is that the road to the Dao Yun Jin Dan has not even begun. Is it okay to directly think about the Nascent Soul?
"There is also a third technique, which is called 'Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique'."
Shen Jiangyue saw that Gu Dan was still a little dissatisfied, so he said directly: "But this technique is rather strange. Although it is also a technique that leads directly to the state of incarnation, so far, apart from the person who created it, no one has truly mastered it thoroughly."
"oh?"
Gu Dan was a little curious. How could it be that this technique was brought out together with the sect's unique martial arts and no one had fully mastered it yet?
“This technique is quite special. It requires the cultivator to undergo nine special transformations, just like a cicada breaking out of its shell or a phoenix rising from the ashes. Each transformation is a brand new beginning.
The predecessor who originally obtained this technique was only of low-grade spiritual roots with mediocre aptitude. It was with the help of nine nirvanas that he stepped step by step towards the path of becoming a god, and was no less than the geniuses at the heavenly spiritual roots level!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, the only problem is that the so-called Nirvana is not an easy thing, and the stronger you are, the more so. As a cultivator with a natural spiritual root, it is almost impossible for you to experience nine Nirvanas. This is a method that can raise the upper limit of one's talent. It is not that there have been no cultivators with natural spiritual roots who have tried it before, but at most they have only experienced three Nirvanas. "
Shen Jiangyue said: "However, even if he has achieved Nirvana three times, his personal combat power is not inferior to some top-level skills. However, the Nirvana technique is difficult. It depends not only on the cultivator's own efforts, but also on luck and fortune."
"Improve your talent?"
Gu Dan stroked his chin.
The body of the Great Dao is already comparable to an alien spiritual root, how can it still achieve Nirvana?
I have never heard of any spiritual roots that are even more powerful.
"Improving one's talent is just a description. After being baptized by this technique, one can be reborn with the help of Nirvana. Isn't that equivalent to improving one's talent?"
Shen Jiangyue said.
"in this way."
Gu Dan only thought for a moment and made up his mind, "Disciple is willing to practice the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art to see what the scenery above the Heavenly Spiritual Root is like."
"Above the Heavenly Spiritual Roots, of course, are the Extraordinary Spiritual Roots."
Shen Jiangyue said casually: "But all the spiritual roots are born from nature, born different from others, and loved by heaven and earth. How can the transformation of an individual compare to the power of heaven and earth? You already have spiritual roots, and continuing to practice the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art" may not necessarily allow you to be "reborn" again.
It's just like climbing a mountain. If you are already at the foot of the mountain, you may be able to reach the middle of the mountain with some effort. But you are already at the top. If you want to continue to go up, you can imagine how difficult it will be. Have you thought about it?"
As a master, Shen Jiangyue was not stingy with his advice.
Not choosing the sect's unique martial arts was not a big deal, after all, the Changsheng Sect was not famous for fighting techniques.
However, in her opinion, "Yuqing Taishang Jue" is obviously more suitable for her disciples.
So what if the Nascent Soul can exert the greatest combat power? It's just a good opportunity to motivate myself. After all, the chances of a natural spiritual root to advance to the Nascent Soul are much greater than those of an ordinary cultivator.
"Nine Revolutions Profound Art" is more of a top-notch technique to give a glimmer of hope to those cultivators who lack talent but do not want to live in a muddle. As a genius who chooses it, Nirvana may not be able to gain much benefit.
"It doesn't matter, just choose it."
Gu Dan said with certainty.
As a body of the Great Dao, martial arts techniques are not a necessity.
It's so funny, he doesn't even need any skills, the spiritual energy is rushing into his body.
Those beings with extraordinary spiritual roots that are truly bred by heaven and earth have never been heard of practicing any kind of skills. For them, eating and drinking are actually increasing their cultivation. They are born divine!
Although Gu Dan's Dao body was an acquired thing created by Ruo Mu, it was not inferior in this respect.
Anyway, other skills can only be icing on the cake at most, so why not choose "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" and give it a try, just in case it can give him some surprises?
If it doesn't work, there's no loss. If it does, it's a big profit! "Okay."
Venerable Shen Jiangyue let his disciple choose. Anyway, it is not impossible to change the martial arts method. It will just waste some time. It is okay to change it when it is found to be unsuitable.
"This is the jade slip of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art. You need to make a great oath and remember it before returning it."
The skills that can lead to the state of becoming a god cannot be easily passed on to others.
In fact, if Gu Dan had chosen "Yuqing Taishang Jue" or "Ji Shi Changsheng Gong", he could only obtain the content of Jindan level at most.
But the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is quite special and cannot be done this way. It must be practiced completely to be mastered.
It is still necessary to take necessary precautions. Even if Gu Dan doesn't have the energy to do so, in case it accidentally falls into the hands of the enemy, it is like taking out an insurance policy. At least the skills will not be leaked.
It's not directed at him. Any top-level martial arts of any sect will have such limitations.
Gu Dan naturally had no resistance and nodded immediately.
After making the great vow, he took the jade slip in his hand, and a vast ocean of knowledge came rushing in.
It took Gu Dan nearly three days to finally remember everything and completely imprint it in his mind.
As a method that leads directly to the state of becoming a god, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art is extremely complex and vast in content. For other foundation-building cultivators, it may take more than a month to memorize it all.
When returning the jade slip, Shen Jiangyue was quite surprised, "In such a short time, are you sure you remembered everything? Did you not make any mistakes?"
"Master, rest assured. I know what to do."
Gu Dan nodded affirmatively.
Shen Jiangyue said thoughtfully: "It seems that your divine consciousness is also extraordinary."
Gu Dan smiled slightly and did not dwell on this topic, but directly said: "Master, I wonder where the opportunity to form the flawless golden elixir is? To be honest, I am ready to form the elixir." (End of this chapter)
