One afternoon about half a month later, Gu Wuyou was meditating in the wooden house. Lu Xuan's voice came from outside: "Xiao Gu, Gu Wuyou, are you there?"

Gu Wuyou opened his eyes and looked around, he was the only one in the room.

Zhou Ji and Yipin probably went somewhere to "hang their throats", and Chenyu was rarely seen during the day because he had to clean the toilet. New disciples are so hardworking, doing chores takes up a lot of time, and they can usually practice during lunch breaks and at night.

According to Yuqing, you only know how to cherish things when they are hard-earned.

Gu Wuyou didn't take it seriously. As a middle-lander, everyone knows that cultivation is hard-earned, and there is really no need to strengthen it. To put it bluntly, isn't it just that the sect rules restrict ordinary people from going up the mountain, and new disciples are in vain if they don't use it.

He jumped out of bed and walked out of the room, sighing and saying: "I am practicing. What if your yelling disturbs my mind and makes me go crazy?"

Lu Xuan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Be careful next time."

"Is something wrong?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Lu Xuan said, "You don't fetch water now. My supervisor has become a decoration. It's very boring, you know."

Gu Wuyou: "It's not like you can only supervise me."

Lu Xuan waved his hand: "It's no fun to supervise others. They don't understand what I say. Just talk about the kid who takes over your fetching water..."

"Chaoyue."

"What?"

"He has a name—no, a Taoist name, Chaoyue."

Members of the Miaoyin Sect usually have to take a Taoist title, which is theoretically given by the master. However, the monks are obsessed with cultivation, and the master is not interested in thinking too much, so in most cases, the disciples come up with one themselves, and the master nods and approves.

Can.

The problem is that apprentices are not necessarily knowledgeable or talented.

Many newcomers didn't even know how to read before joining. For example, the little girl Chaoyue who filled Gu Wuyou's water could not read a word.

Taoist names generally use two characters, while Chinese people's names usually have three characters. The common situation is to remove the surname from the original name and make a Taoist name, which is simple and crude. Therefore, as a monk of the Miaoyin Sect, Gu Wuyou's official Taoist name should be "Wuyou".

Of course, for people like Lu Xuan and Zhou Ji whose original names only have two characters, it doesn't matter if they just use their original names as their Taoist names.

Lu Xuan looked at Gu Wuyou suspiciously: "You seem to be very familiar with her?"

"We're not even close to each other. I've fetched water for her several times."

"Why?"

"She just took the blame for me, I feel sorry for her." Gu Wuyou sighed, "It's so pitiful that such a small number of people have to carry water and climb mountains every day."

Lu Xuan curled his lips: "She can do better than you, right?"

In fact, Lu Xuan had learned that Chaoyue was born into a poor family before going to the mountain. He had to work in the fields with his parents at a young age. In terms of being able to endure hardship, he was definitely better than Gu Wuyou, a charlatan who did not do his job properly.

Gu Wuyou: "No matter how capable she is, she is still a child after all."

"Well, just know that she is a child." Lu Xuan warned, "Don't act recklessly. She is different from me. She is such a little brat."

Gu Wuyou glared: "Don't think so dirty, okay? I just feel bad about who is messing around... Also, you mean you are not a real child, so I can mess around?"

"Haha, this adventurer will cut you up in seconds."

Gu Wuyou waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, why are you looking for me?"

Lu Xuan held his chest high and his head high: "I have established a foundation!"

Gu Wuyou was startled, then excited: "Really? That's great!"

Lu Xuan suddenly felt very pleased: "Not bad, not bad, I thought you would be jealous..."

"So you can go down the mountain and take care of Xiao Pan?"

Lu Xuan: "..."

Gu Wuyou waved his hand: "Go, kneel down and beg Master!"

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes: "Can't you ask first how I built the foundation?"

Gu Wuyou spread his hands: "The innate spirit body is awesome enough."

"Oh, what an idiot!" Lu Xuan said angrily, "Are you not interested at all in my valuable experience in successfully building a foundation?"

Gu Wuyou hesitated: "This thing can't be taught, can it?"

The two of them were not amateurs to begin with, but they had listened to Yuqing's lectures many times in the past few days, and they knew that there was an essential difference between practicing and learning a craft, especially in the foundation-building stage. Not only could they not learn from experience, but blind communication could also be counterproductive.

So the question is, what is the significance of the existence of "teacher"?

From a learning perspective, it really doesn't make much sense.

No matter whether it was a Taoist priest in the past or a monk today, the focus of the master is not to teach step by step, but to guide. In addition, the cultivation method and secrets can win the fortune of heaven and earth. Of course, they cannot be taught easily. Only those who are apprentices are qualified to have access.

Lu Xuan: "Others can't do it, but we are different. We have analyzed the purpose of Taiyi Jinhua together."

Gu Wuyou nodded: "That's right, then you can tell me."

Lu Xuan looked around: "Just say it here?"

"Oh, I was negligent. Let's go into the house and talk."

Lu Xuan: "Haha, is there any difference between your shabby dormitory and the outside? Your roommate may come back at any time, so you should go to my place."

Being despised again, Gu Wuyou was unable to refute.

Follow Lu Xuan to her residence.

The courtyard was five times the size of Gu Wuyou's residence, and the wooden house was much larger, with a living room and bedrooms, and Lu Xuan lived alone. It was far enough away from other courtyards that it looked very quiet under the trees.

"Elder level standard." Gu Wuyou was very envious.

Lu Xuan opened the door: "If you like it, move here and live together."

"No need." Gu Wuyou shook his head, "I'm not an innate spirit body, so I'm not qualified to enjoy this kind of treatment yet."

Lu Xuan received preferential treatment everywhere, so Gu Wuyou certainly wouldn't be jealous.

Firstly, many people knew that he and Lu Xuan were "sworn brothers and sisters", so it was natural that Lu Xuan would be proud of him. Secondly, he firmly believed that one day, he would be able to live in a real villa through his own efforts.

Lu Xuan closed the door and began to explain to Gu Wuyou.

In fact, Lu Xuan completed the foundation building just a moment ago. Almost as soon as he succeeded, he hurriedly ran to find Gu Wuyou.

However, the experience accumulated by her predecessors over countless years cannot be wrong. She shared her own experience, but Gu Wuyou gained nothing.

Well, that’s not accurate either.

Gu Wuyou, who has analyzed the purpose of Taiyi Jinhua, is very familiar with every step of foundation building, as well as precautions, etc. Unfortunately, understanding does not mean that he will be able to do it, and what is even more tragic is that active pursuit will only lead to deviations.

Of course, the talent of lighting up six stars is not just a cloud, and Gu Wuyou has not accomplished anything in the past half month.

Today, he can quickly enter samadhi at least eight times out of ten times of meditation, and he has already seen the legendary light of sex.

Then, there is no more.

Again, active pursuit can only lead to deviation. At least in the foundation building stage, cultivators must not be impatient at all. They can only wait quietly for the secret, the so-called "the first Yang starts to move, and the mind enters the aperture" or something like that.

Lu Xuan actually didn't expect to be able to help Gu Wuyou.

Just show off and have a chat.

After talking about their experiences, the two chatted for a while, and Gu Wuyou said: "I plan to go to Ying Ying tomorrow to talk about Long Tao."

Lu Xuan: "Don't you want to delay it?"

"There's no way." Gu Wuyou helplessly spread his hands, "If it's just Long Tao, Taoist deceived him into not blinking for a year. But he actually asked Chaoyue to fetch water for me. The little guy has been implicated by me. I really

I can’t bear it.”

"Didn't you help her?"

"I can't help her every day, right?"

"Nonsense, even if you think about it, I won't be happy..."

"What?"

"It's nothing." Lu Xuan waved his hand, "Believe me, Long Tao is not a good bird. He will not be grateful if you succeed, and he will hold a grudge if you fail."

Gu Wuyou usually wouldn't hide anything from Lu Xuan when something happened. He had already told her everything about his previous conversation with Long Tao.

Lu Xuan believed that Long Tao might be innocent, but the poor man must be hateful. The guy didn't have the guts to come forward, so he just let Gu Wuyou take the risk. He even threatened not to let him go if he screwed up.

What?

Besides, the humiliation of being mopped like a rag is not easy to let go of.

Gu Wuyou has never agreed with repaying kindness with kindness. To say the least, even if he has a broad mind, Lu Xuan still can't accept it.

…

The main hall of Miaoyin Sect.

Gu Wuyou and Lu Xuan finished saluting Yuqing. The latter looked at Lu Xuan and laughed heartily: "The foundation has been established? Well, you are indeed an innate spiritual body, hehehehe!"

Lu Xuan: "It's all thanks to the master's teachings."

"You can't say that, I know it well." Yuqing waved his hand, "Otherwise you and Wuyou were practicing at the same time, why hasn't he completed the foundation building yet? Of course, I will not deny the credit, such as collecting a precious stone for the sect.
To be continued...
