Now that I have met a master who can improve his cultivation naturally just by listening to the piano, I naturally have to seize the opportunity to ask for his guidance.
Chen Kuang's face was strange. Life was indeed a strange place. It was his turn to teach Diling Daojun how to practice...
This so-called "external alchemy" actually refers to taking elixirs to promote cultivation, or simply forcibly improving one's cultivation.
Although Chen Kuang had never taken any elixirs, in fact, the clay and gold sculpture method recorded some elixir recipes that were compatible with cultivation.
It's just that he doesn't need it at all.
These perfect and stable elixirs are beneficial to practitioners and have no harm. As long as they practice diligently, they can fully refine the medicinal properties.
There are not many cases where elixirs are harmful to people. Generally, either the effect of the elixir is relatively extreme, or people take elixirs for a long time and are unwilling to practice more, which causes the medicinal power to accumulate and block the meridians.
The former is a ruthless person, and the latter is a lazy person. Both situations have nothing to do with Lu Zhexuan.
Chen Kuang covered his mouth and coughed twice, then explained the general situation and said:
"The quality of external alchemy lies in one's heart. As long as one works diligently and absorbs all the medicinal power, there will be no harm."
"If you were a disciple of the sect, someone would explain this to you once you entered."
Lu Zhexuan looked ashamed and said, "I am just a casual cultivator with average talent. No sect would be willing to accept me..."
Chen Kuang asked curiously, "Have you ever tried the Xuanshen Dao Sect? I heard that Fuli disciples place more emphasis on character."
Lu Zhexuan shook his head and said, "I've been to Fuli Xianzhou and took a look from afar... Later I learned that Xuanshen Dao Sect doesn't accept disciples over the age of thirty who haven't stepped on the stairs to the temple."
"At that time... I just happened to be in the state of Xiantian Xujin."
Good guy...
The Xuanshen Dao sect of this era has even more outrageous requirements for accepting disciples than those of later generations!
Anyone who is under 30 years old and has reached the Denglou Realm is at least ranked in the top 200 in Canglang's evaluation.
In other words, only the two hundred young people are qualified to be accepted as disciples by the Xuanshen Dao Sect. It is truly a selection of the best from the best.
If this rule still applies in the future, Xuanshen Dao Sect will definitely not be able to gather 40,000 disciples.
I really don’t know… If the Xuanshen Dao Sect in later generations knew that I had once persuaded my second-in-command to quit because his demands were too high, how embarrassing the situation would be.
Chen Kuang suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "That's because the Xuanshen Dao Sect doesn't know what's good for them."
"A person like you, fellow Daoist, is the object of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the beloved of the sun and moon. Only once in a thousand years does one appear. I am amazed every time I see him. Why should you underestimate yourself?"
Listening to the generous praise, Lu Zhexuan blushed even more and felt embarrassed. He lowered his head and wanted to put back on the hat he had just taken off.
This... this is really too corny.
In Lu Zhexuan's opinion, there was absolutely no possibility that the other party would brag about his talent. After all, a man in his thirties who had reached the first level of the ascension tower could only be considered an average person.
If you want to climb the twelve floors in heaven, you will encounter obstacles on each floor, and each obstacle is as dangerous as a thousand mountains... This is not said in vain.
The difficulty of advancing to the Denglou Realm is almost higher than that of the Kaiqiao and Xiantian realms combined!
She didn't break through to the Tower Stage until she was thirty-four years old. Even if everything went smoothly, based on the most optimistic estimate, she would have to be at least eighty or ninety years old to reach the twelfth level!
And at this time, it has reached the end of life...
At this rate, it is hard to say whether she can break through before her lifespan runs out.
That's why Lu Zhexuan was so eager to seek guidance and help in cultivation.
Therefore...
At this moment, Lu Zhexuan thought that there was only one possibility for Chen Kuang's praise:
He was bragging about his own appearance.
When Lu Zhexuan was living in her boudoir, she had no reference points and looked at herself in the mirror every day. She didn't think she was that good-looking.
But later, she kept encountering villains with ulterior motives, and learned how to protect herself. Naturally, she also realized how much of a disaster her appearance could cause.
Others were drooling over her beauty, and Chen Kuang's sincere praise and appreciation were even more precious...
Lu Zhexuan quickly shook his head: "The Xuanshen Dao Sect has strict rules. I can't meet the requirements, so naturally I can't get in. If I get in, it would be unfair."
"That kind of Xuanshen Dao Sect is not the Xuanshen Dao Sect I want to join."
Chen Kuang finally couldn't help laughing:
"Don't look at the Xuanshen Dao Sect's current state. Maybe they will lower their dignity and invite you to join in the future."
Lu Zhexuan thought he was joking, but he couldn't help laughing and quickly stopped laughing.
She said, "Although I have no chance of joining the Xuanshen Dao Sect, if I can no longer be a free cultivator in the future, I think... if possible, I can lower the cultivation requirements a little. As you said, those with good character will be given priority."
Lu Zhexuan murmured softly, "I hope there will be fewer independent cultivators like me who have no one to guide them and have gone astray."
Chen Kuang was stunned when he heard this.
Could it be that the subsequent expansion of Xuanshen Dao Sect was a decision made by Lu Zhexuan?
This is also a good thing.
He also chatted with Lu Zhexuan about some experiences in cultivation, told her how to take pills, and gave her a few pill recipes.
——Although the recipe for the clay-based gold sculpture method cannot be given, I have taken a lot of recipes from Xi Mengquan and sold them over the years.
Xi Mengquan is almost a jack of all trades. He even taught himself alchemy. If Chen Kuang had not lived under the same roof with Xi Mengquan for almost the past five years, he would have even thought that the latter might have an old grandfather on his body.
This is what we call the child of destiny, right?
After Lu Zhexuan said goodbye and walked out of the yard, he heard bursts of piano music coming from behind him. The tune was joyful at first, and then farewell.
