Taoist Master Xuanyang looked at the well-behaved young man in front of him and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Wuji really gave him a difficult problem!
As for how to train great talents, Xuanyang Daoist Master naturally has his own overall plan.
Gao Xian is still only at the fourth level, so giving him too many resources is not a good thing. First, Gao Xian cannot really make use of the value of these resources, and second, when Gao Xian enters the fifth level, more resources will need to be invested to maintain his enthusiasm.
What if Gao Xian enters the sixth level? Wuji Jianzun directly gave him the seventh-level divine sword. This is simply a mess! What should I do next? Xuanyang Daozun cursed Wuji in his heart, but he had to reward Gao Xian at this time.
"I don't have a seventh-level divine sword. Besides, you can't use a seventh-level divine weapon even if I give it to you!"
Daoist Xuanyang said seriously: "Boy, when a divine weapon reaches the sixth level, it needs to be tempered by thunder tribulation. The spirituality in the sixth-level divine weapon that has survived the thunder tribulation will give birth to wisdom. This kind of divine weapon spirit, like a person, has thousands of personalities. If you want to control a divine weapon above the sixth level, you must either subdue the divine weapon spirit or gain its recognition!
"Wuji has painted a big pie for you, and it looks good. The Taiyi Golden Light Sword is a seventh-level divine sword. Not to mention you, even if Wuji wants to use this divine sword, he has to discuss it with the weapon spirit..."
Gao Xian was a little surprised that such a thing could happen.
There are many legends about ancient gods and Buddhas recorded in various classics, but there are almost no descriptions of powers above the sixth level.
Gao Xian really didn't know that the sixth-level artifact had its own wisdom. And it had to be the Pure Yang Daoist Master, who knew a lot. Gao Xian said sincerely: "So that's how it is, disciple, I'm glad to learn from you."
Daoist Xuanyang was quite satisfied with Gao Xian's attitude. This child was sensible and not the kind of kid who would just cry and ask for milk...
He said, "I promised you the Heavenly Cicada Nine Deaths Pill a long time ago. This pill can't be considered a reward. I happen to have a sixth-grade divine Star Power Crystal in my hand. It can just help you refine the Divine Scroll of Breaking the Army..."
As the old Taoist said this, he flicked his sleeves and placed two jade boxes on the small coffee table.
Gao Xian's eyes moved between the two jade boxes and then turned to Taoist Xuanyang. A sixth-grade divine crystal that could break the army would be extremely useful to him.
With this divine crystal, maybe it won't take a hundred years to refine the sixth-level Broken Army Divine Scroll! This is a sixth-level divine scroll. If you can really control it as you wish, how powerful it would be! However, with Wuji Jianzun as an example, it's a bit too stingy for Taoist Xuanyang to give a sixth-level divine crystal.
Gao Xian naturally didn't dare to act unruly in front of Taoist Master Xuanyang. The old man saw that he looked playful and uninhibited, so who knew what kind of person he was.
He stared at Taoist Xuan Yang, like an hungry child, his eyes full of innocent desire.
Taoist Xuan Yang glanced at Gao Xian. No matter how he looked at him, he found this kid a bit disgusting! However, he couldn't really hurt Gao Xian's heart. After all, he rejected the seventh-level divine sword. This loyalty was simply so great that it would be unreasonable not to reward him.
The old Taoist took out a golden crystal from his sleeve and slapped it on the coffee table, "Taiyi Divine Crystal, take it."
The appearance of the golden spirit crystal is very similar to a standard spirit stone, but there are wisps of electric light wandering inside the golden crystal, gathering and dispersing unpredictably, which looks very mysterious.
Gao Xian could see that the old Taoist slapped him to remind him not to go too far and to stop while he was ahead. He quickly stood up and bowed, "Thank you for the reward, Taoist Master. I am unworthy of it, unworthy of it."
Having said that, Gao Xian still put away all three items without hesitation. He turned around and asked respectfully, "Grandmaster, what is the use of this Taiyi Divine Crystal?"
“This is good stuff!”
Daoist Xuan Yang said with a serious expression: "This thing was stored in this divine crystal when the Great Master of Heaven used a secret method to subdue the thunder when he was going through the thunder tribulation.
"The seventh-level tribulation thunder has the power to destroy the heaven and earth. This kind of thunder contains the innate wonders of the birth and death of yin and yang. Even if it is just a ray of lightning, it has infinite magical uses."
Gao Xian was a little confused. The old Taoist said a lot of things, but none of them were practical. What is the use of this thing? He asked respectfully, "My disciple is stupid, what is the use of this thing? Please teach me, Master."
Daoist Xuanyang smiled. He deliberately made his words vague, just to tease Gao Xian. Seeing the boy's respectful attitude, he said, "The Taiyi Divine Crystal contains the innate Yin-Yang and Thunder Transformation, which can be used to generate the spirituality of magic tools, and can also be used to comprehend the Thunder Method to improve cultivation.
"How you use this seventh-level divine object is up to you!"
Gao Xian probably understood what was said, and seeing that the old Taoist didn't seem to want to explain in detail, he bowed again to express his gratitude.
He then said, "Grandmaster, I am going to attain enlightenment and become a god. It may take three hundred years to polish and purify it..."
"You go ahead. I'll leave Yaoguang Palace to your female companion. She's much more capable than you..."
Daoist Xuanyang paid close attention to Gao Xian, so he naturally knew Zhu Qiniang. He had seen her several times and was very satisfied with her ability to do things.
Not to mention that Gao Xian is no match for her, in such a large Xuanming Sect, Zhu Qinniang can be ranked among the top five in terms of her ability to do things. She is truly calm and capable, decisive in her actions, and clear about rewards and punishments.
Zhu Qiniang has been in charge of Yaoguang Palace for nearly a hundred years, and everyone admires her. Xuanyang Daozun thinks that Gao Xian's undisciplined and unruly personality is similar to his, and it is best for him to be a hands-off manager.
Gao Xian laughed dryly. He knew that Qiniang was capable, but he felt a little dissatisfied when Dao Zun said that he was not as good as Qiniang.
Daoist Xuan Yang explained: "The fusion of the primordial spirit is not ordinary. It is necessary to achieve the unity of body and spirit and perfection inside and outside. The standards for the unity of body and spirit and perfection inside and outside are different for each cultivator. However, the fusion of the primordial spirit must face the test of heavenly fire. Any omission will cause your body and spirit to collapse and turn into ashes.
"When you are refining your body and spirit, you need to be clear about yourself, understand your shortcomings, and constantly improve and correct them. Only then can you truly refine your spirit into a combined body."
Daoist Xuan Yang said sternly: "Everyone knows that the combined soul is powerful, but no one takes this path, because the combined soul is too difficult.
"The soul of the Nascent Soul is the condensation of the most yin spirit, and it can be easily reshaped through the secret method of tempering. The physical body is acquired, and the tendons, bones, internal organs, blood, flesh, and fur are all very complex. If you want to refine these from the inside out and form a perfect and unified whole with the primordial spirit, you need to have a perfect fit between the body and the spirit.
"One is virtual and the other is real, the inside and outside are perfectly integrated. This is a hundred times more difficult than tempering the soul alone."
Taoist Xuan Yang said with some complicated meaning: "You have chosen the most difficult path. The unity of body and spirit is only the first level. When you reach the sixth level, you will have to do it again. If you can really reach the seventh level, it will be even more troublesome..."
Gao Xian's face changed slightly. This was not what the old man said before. The old man said that the combined primordial spirit points directly to the great way, which is the supreme and righteous method.
Now he is talking about the various disadvantages of the combined soul. This old man must be doing it on purpose! He is a little regretful now. But at this point, everything is ready, and it is unreasonable for him to retreat! Gao Xian suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and he said seriously: "Ancestor, there is no smooth road on the road, I am willing to try."
Daoist Xuan Yang smiled and said, "Okay, cultivators like me must have the courage to go against the will of heaven."
He then said, "With your ability, it is still difficult for you to see clearly yourself. Even I dare not say that I can see through the truth and understand everything."
"The best way is to ask Daoist Bai Yujing for help. She is born with supernatural powers that can see everything clearly. Any omissions in your form and spirit will not be hidden from her eyes. With the addition of Tianchan Nine Death Pill, you can make up for your own shortcomings very well."
Hearing Bai Yujing's name, Gao Xian's heart moved. Is the old Taoist testing him?
He said hurriedly: "I have met Senior Bai Yujing and received her guidance. I just don't know the identity of this senior?"
Taoist Xuanyang shook his head slightly: "You don't need to know this. I will give you a spiritual talisman that will allow you to enter the Thirteenth Heaven to meet Taoist Fellow Bai Yujing."
The old Taoist turned and reminded: "Friend Bai has a strange temper. If you ask her for help, you must follow her temper. Do whatever she asks you to do..."
Gao Xian humbly accepted the advice. Although he had a good relationship with Taoist Xuanyang, it was not easy for him to meet him.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It was not easy to meet him once, so Gao Xian took this opportunity to ask him many questions about cultivation. Xuanyang Daozun was very knowledgeable, and he could explain the difficult questions that he was struggling to understand in just one sentence.
With this question and answer, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Taoist Xuan Yang saw that it was getting dark, so he said to Gao Xian: "Sometimes you have to experience the things in cultivation yourself. Everyone's situation is different, and the same secret method can be practiced in different ways.
"I can guide you in the general direction, but it's best for you to understand the specific details yourself. The best one is the one that suits you."
Gao Xian wanted to say something, but Taoist Xuan Yang waved his sleeves and said, "Go down and rest first."
The clear light turned, and when Gao Xian came to his senses, he had returned to his bedroom in Jingxing Palace.
Gao Xian looked around. Although he hadn't been back for decades, the bedroom was clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly.
He silently chanted the spell to activate the magic circle, sealing off the inside and outside of the bedroom.
Logically, he should go see Qiniang first, but following Taoist Xuanyang to study was really exhausting, and even with his ability he felt extremely tired.
Accompanying Yin Jiuli in dual cultivation for decades, he rarely had a moment of peace. Besides, the Ancient Sword Abyss was dangerous after all, so he didn't dare to really relax.
Jingxing Palace was safe enough. Gao Xian forced himself to do his routine homework and then fell into a deep sleep.
He slept for a whole day, and this extremely deep rest allowed him to truly relax. He sat on the couch for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses.
After using a cleaning spell to clean up briefly, Gao Xian went to Yaoguang Palace to find Qiniang.
After not seeing each other for more than 50 years, Qi Niang was naturally very happy to see Gao Xian, and Gao Xian was also very happy. After not seeing each other for decades, Qi Niang's cultivation had also improved.
His Yin-Yang Enlightenment Sutra reached the Grandmaster's Perfection Realm, and Yin Jiuli's Divine Transformation was no match for him. This time, he and Qi Niang practiced dual cultivation, so naturally he was at ease.
Qi Niang was a physical practitioner, so she was one level behind in terms of spiritual awareness. This dual cultivation was actually very important to her, as it could help her make up for the shortcomings and soften her spiritual awareness and mana.
Gao Xian and Qi Niang had the deepest relationship, so he would naturally help Qi Niang refine her cultivation if he had the ability. The two of them practiced together for more than a month until the end of the year.
On New Year's Eve, Gao Xian and Qiniang stayed up together.
Jingxing Palace was very large, and the decoration was luxurious and exquisite, which was a million times better than the mud house he lived in at Feimaji. But Gao Xian still felt that the mud house was more cozy. At that time, he, Qi Niang, and Daniu stayed up all night to celebrate the New Year. Although they were always worried about tomorrow, they lived a happy life.
The higher your cultivation level, the better your life will be, but you will no longer have that feeling.
Gao Xian also knew that he was being pretentious again, but he couldn't help but think of the past, the people and events of the past, when he was with Qiniang.
Fortunately, Qiniang was there to accompany him.
Qi Niang didn't know what Gao Xian was thinking, she just watched him quietly and felt very satisfied. As for other things, she didn't care at all.
There were bursts of roars coming from outside, and brilliant fireworks blooming and shining in the starry sky. These were the magical flames released by the practitioners of Xuanming Sect to celebrate the New Year's Eve.
Under the flickering light of fireworks, Qi Niang's tender eyes were so clear, and Gao Xian's distracting thoughts immediately dissipated. He was about to become a god, and Qi Niang was by his side. Everything was fine, so why should he be dissatisfied!
An indescribable sense of tranquility and joy naturally overflowed from his heart.
Qinnan saw a smile on Gaoxian’s face. She didn’t know why Gaoxian was happy, but she was happy when Gaoxian was happy.
Neither of them spoke, but there was a tacit understanding flowing in their hearts, which was better than countless words... (End of this chapter)
