Chapter 104: Above the Noble Family! Above the Body Wash!
Xu Chong was not surprised at all that Yuan Shouyi could predict his arrival and understand his purpose.
After all, he grew up in the palace, so even if he just got a few points, his rank is not low.
However, he stated his intentions openly and bluntly from the start. What does this mean?
This means that Su Ruochen’s problem is not easy to handle.
And Yuan Shouyi was very sure that he would not refuse.
pity……
"One yard owned by a yard."
Xu Chong turned sideways to face Yun Hai, and said calmly: "I will naturally not stand idly by regarding Brother Su's affairs, but this is what I should do, and it has nothing to do with the Supervisor."
"oh?"
Yuan Shouyi raised his gray eyebrows in surprise.
"I wonder what I, as the deputy supervisor, need to do?"
Xu Chong changed the subject.
"Whatever you like."
Yuan Shouyi didn't care at all, "The Imperial Observatory is already idle, let alone the Imperial Observatory in the secondary capital."
“This is a pleasant surprise.”
Xu Chong nodded and said happily.
" ..."
Yuan Shouyi was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "You have just become a noble, so you should have a lot of questions, right?"
"really."
Xu Chong straightened his expression, turned around and saluted Yuan Shouyi, "Please give me some advice, Master Supervisor."
"Well……"
Yuan Shouyi stroked his beard and said, "Let's talk about the class above the noble class first. The class above the noble class is called the Taoist class."
"Taoism?"
Xu Chong was surprised, "I have always guessed that it is of royal descent."
"The fifth-class household registration system was created by the royal family. Why do you think the royal family would include you in it?"
Yuan Shouyi looked at Xu Chong like a fool, "Besides, if you are really a royal family, can you remember these two words?"
"……All right."
Xu Chong touched his nose and asked again: " Why is it called Dao Ji?"
"Because above the martial arts is the Tao."
Yuan Shouyi smiled and said, "At this level, things are a little different from before."
"Before this, you must first have a noble status before you can master the power of the Body Cleansing Realm."
"But the Dao class is different. You must first break through to the ninth level of the body cleansing, and then successfully cultivate the Dao before you can be promoted to the Dao class."
"The Daoji also have their own salary and can serve as an official in the imperial court, but the title cannot be inherited."
"No matter who you are, if you want to be promoted to Dao, cultivating Dao is a prerequisite."
I see……
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "May I ask what this kind of Tao is?"
"As the name suggests, planting the Tao means planting the seeds of the Tao."
Yuan Shouyi said calmly, "There are three places in the human body that are difficult to reach with strength: the Jade Pool under the abdomen, the Huangting in the heart, and the Purple Palace between the eyebrows."
“These three places are where the Tao is cultivated.”
"After you become a Taoist, you can no longer be called a warrior."
"The one who cultivates the Tao in the Jade Pool becomes a True Man, the one who cultivates the Tao in the Yellow Court becomes a Heavenly Man, and the one who cultivates the Tao in the Purple Palace becomes a Divine Man."
"In fact, the three major realms of opening the orifices, unblocking the meridians, and cleansing the body, step by step, stimulate and nourish the physical body in an orderly manner, all of which are paving the way for the cultivation of the Tao."
"No matter which of the three paths you choose, it is a matter of fundamental importance to yourself and you cannot be careless about it."
"Only when the acupoints and meridians of the whole body are connected without obstruction and the impurities of the body and mind are completely washed away, can the Tao seed be planted successfully."
Three kinds of paths?
Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, and he said, "I once heard the former Left Censor-in-Chief Jiang Zhihong say that there are different routes to this realm... can you only choose one?"
"This is not absolute. It depends on qualifications."
Yuan Shouyi shook his head, "But few people do this."
"It's a long road. If you only go in one direction, you will never reach the end. How can you spare the energy to look elsewhere?"
"Only those who are not talented enough and whose path is cut off right at the beginning and who find it difficult to improve will find another way to make up for their lack of strength."
"If someone has enough talent and can take a small step forward, then this kind of person cannot reach it."
Xu Chong was not surprised but happy.
To put it bluntly, it's time and energy...
If I have enough spiritual resources, I will have no shortage of either time or energy!
Even if it is not enough to activate immortality, it does not require any time or energy to use spiritual energy to overcome it.
"Like Jiang Zhihong you mentioned, he follows the path of Huangting cultivation."
Yuan Shouyi continued, "He can manipulate the celestial phenomena to a small extent to defeat the enemy. He should be a celestial being who has just entered the first stage of Jindan."
Dan formation? !
Xu Chong was stunned and couldn't help asking, "What realm is it after Danjie?"
Could it be Nascent Soul, Incarnation, or Tribulation?
Is it possible that in this world one can ascend to become an immortal?
"The elixir becomes ninth grade, the lotus blossoms and the infant is formed, which is the Condensed Infant stage."
"The infant is nine feet tall, with the Dharma image of heaven and earth, and is in the Dharma image realm."
"I don't know what happened after that. Maybe there isn't, or maybe there is but I don't know."
Yuan Shouyi replied, "In short, Huangting cultivation is the choice of the vast majority of people."
"Is that so..."
Xu Chong was slightly disappointed and asked, "Why do you say most people choose this?"
"Because of the side effect."
Yuan Shouyi continued to explain: "After reaching the seeding stage, martial arts are completely useless. As for secret martial arts, they are somewhat useful, but limited."
“Only side skills can continue to play a role in this realm, or even play a greater role.”
"However, not everyone can master the art of paranormal cultivation. It can even be said that the number of people who can master the art of paranormal cultivation is extremely small."
"As for Huangting cultivation, the strength in Huangting is united into a pill, which resonates with the power of heaven and earth. It can control the celestial phenomena and has both offensive and defensive capabilities, which greatly makes up for the lack of other skills."
"So naturally, the vast majority of people who have no hope of mastering side skills will choose to follow the path of heavenly beings."
"But the disadvantages of Huangting cultivation are also obvious..."
Yuan Shouyi paused and said, "My body is weak."
understood.
A crispy mage.
Xu Chong nodded in understanding, and then asked, "What about Yuchi Zhongdao?"
"The cultivation of the Jade Pool is completely opposite to the cultivation of the Huangting."
Yuan Shouyi spoke at a leisurely pace, appearing extremely patient. "The energy enters the jade pool and transforms, then spreads throughout the body, fully integrating with the physical body, greatly increasing the physical strength."
“So the realm of Yuchi Zhongdao is bronze skin, iron bones, and golden body.”
"The bronze skin has been turned nine times, making it invulnerable to swords and spears."
"Iron bones turn nine times, diamond is indestructible."
"Golden body nine turns, invulnerable to all kinds of attacks."
"The same goes for the follow-up. I don't know if there will be any."
"In addition to the strength of the body, the skyrocketing power, speed, reaction ability, etc. are no longer changes brought about by strength, but are perfectly contained in the essence of the body. Every move has huge destructive power."
"Similarly, the shortcomings of the real person are also obvious... the means to deal with the enemy are seriously insufficient. If there is no side technique to make up for it, facing the heavenly being of Huangting Zhongdao, it is impossible to get close and can only passively take the beating. Therefore, very few people choose the real person route."
Fly the kite until death.
Xu Chong pulled the corner of his mouth, "No wonder there are so few..."
"You're different."
Yuan Shouyi looked at Xu Chong seriously and said, "Why can Dou Tianyuan become the best fighter in Daqing? Because he is a Jade Pool cultivator, and he also has the skill of breaking the sky with one hand."
"Breaking the sky with one hand..."
Xu Chong pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "This side skill can make him, a real person, have no shortcomings at all!"
"That's right."
Yuan Shouyi nodded. "The combination of Breaking the Sky with One Hand and Jade Pool Seeding Dao gives him a dominant position in this realm. No matter who he is or how many troops he has to protect him, they can't defend against his solo raid."
That's true.
Yu Chi Zhongdao's physical strength ignores attacks, his absolute power ignores defense, and his One-Hand Sky Breaking ability ignores distance.
This is definitely a BUG!
It was not until this time that Xu Chong had a clearer understanding of the ordinary old man.
"It's obvious that Dou Tianyuan wants to train you to be his successor..."
Yuan Shouyi curled his lips and said with disdain: "Go and be the commander-in-chief of that damn Blood Robe Guard."
Needless to say, this involves the love, hate and vengeance of the older generation.
Xu Chong did not respond, but asked, "What about the Purple Mansion Seed Dao?"
"Divine men are too scarce, so looking at the entire Daqing, there are probably less than a hundred people who know the Purple Mansion Seed Dao... and I just happen to be one of them."
After saying that, Yuan Shouyi raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at the charcoal stove on the side.
“…”
Xu Chong was speechless for a while, and walked towards the charcoal stove: "You are the director, I am the deputy director, and we are separated by generations. Just tell me what you want me to do."
"You are the descendant of Taizu, so in a sense you are considered a royal family member."
Yuan Shouyi grinned and said, "No royal family has ever made tea for me."
have to.
Make up for it by treating yourself as a royal family.
Xu Chong threw out the overcooked tea leaves and tea.
While still in mid-air, under the effect of the force, the tea leaves exploded into powder and the tea water evaporated into mist, so there was no need to worry about it getting wet.
Then he opened the paper bag on the table and stuffed a handful of tea leaves into the kettle.
“…”
Yuan Shouyi's face shuddered, and he said in a muffled voice: "This is a magical medicine, one ounce is worth fifty contributions."
"Oh? What does it do?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
"Grown in the Imperial Observatory, it has the effect of calming the mind."
Yuan Shouyi said unhappily, "The effect of being immersed in and condensed by the power of rules is better than just being in the Imperial Observatory."
"Is that so? I just happened to need it."
Xu Chong thought about it and put the paper bag into his pocket. "I will pay you back slowly."
Without mentioning the extra, there is at least half a pound left in this bag... eight ounces, which is four hundred contributions.
Four hundred contributions may seem like a lot, but now that he has the identity of a descendant of Taizu, he no longer needs to exchange contributions for skills to hide himself, so he can still afford it.
It also set a precedent for zero down payment mortgages.
"Forget it, just treat it as a greeting gift from the elders to the younger generation."
Yuan Shouyi suppressed his pain and waved his hand.
Xu Chong jumped down from the building, fetched a pot of well water in the yard and started to make tea.
Time passes slowly.
After half a stick of incense, a rich and refreshing tea aroma spreads.
I can only say that the Dharma medicine is worthy of being called Dharma medicine. Just by taking a sniff, a kind of tranquility that comes from seeing through the world arises spontaneously.
It's like entering sage mode...
Xu Chong curled the corner of his mouth and picked up the pot to pour tea.
"Not bad, better than what Su Ruochen cooked."
After drinking a cup, Yuan Shouyi sighed, "Under the influence of the tea fragrance, he no longer cares about the timing of drinking tea, and every time he brews a cup of tea, it always tastes burnt."
"I do not really get it."
Speaking of this, Xu Chong frowned, "If being in the Imperial Observatory is not enough to solve his problem, then a cup of tea like this should be enough."
"I didn't give him this tea."
Yuan Shouyi shook his head. "His problem is a bit complicated. If you are interested, go and find out for yourself."
"All right……"
Xu Chong nodded helplessly.
"Let's go back to the past."
Yuan Shouyi returned to the topic, "Why is the Purple Mansion Seed Path so rare? Because it is too dangerous, much more dangerous than the other two kinds of seeds."
"There is a saying among the people, I wonder if you have heard of it."
"The purple palace between the eyebrows is the residence of the human soul and the source of consciousness, memory, and thinking."
"Although this statement cannot be verified, it indirectly illustrates the importance of Zifu."
"What's more, the experience of our predecessors has proven that the Jade Pool is the most solid, the Yellow Court is the second, and the Purple Palace is the weakest."
"If you fail in cultivating the Dao in the Jade Pool, your vitality will be severely damaged, and your physical body will be damaged. However, you can still continue cultivating the Dao later, or switch to cultivating the Dao in the Huangting."
"If you fail to cultivate the Dao in the Huangting, the Huangting will be broken and you will be unable to continue. However, you can still choose to cultivate the Dao in the Yuchi."
"If the Purple Palace cultivation of the Tao fails, then one will die."
Yuan Shouyi looked at Xu Chong deeply and said, "The best outcome is to become a mindless walking corpse."
"…Is it so fatal?"
Xu Chong was shocked.
"However, although the risk is great, the Purple Mansion Seed Path is also the most mysterious and extraordinary route."
Yuan Shouyi continued, "Although the words 'godman' are honorific titles, they are also related to the realm."
"The Yin God has nine transformations and can travel thousands of miles at night."
"Yang Shen Nine Transformations, daily travel without boundaries."
Yin God or Yang God?
Aren’t these the Night-Wandering God and the Day-Wandering God? !
Even after drinking the calming tea, Xu Chong was still agitated.
In the previous life, these two were mythological beings. Although they were only minor gods, they were at least legitimate gods!
but……
Xu Chong calmed down and asked, "Are there only two realms? What about the next ones?"
"have no idea."
Yuan Shouyi shook his head.
These three simple and clear words are enough to prove how difficult and dangerous this route is.
Xu Chong was silent for a moment, then stood up and bowed: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
