Chapter 6. Withering glory.

After leaving the hall of Changchun Residence, Yue Qingru took Xu Qingfan to arrange accommodation. After Xu Qingfan changed into the unified robe of Jiuhua Gate, he took him to become familiar with the environment around Changchun Residence.

Yue Qingru, who was full of Confucianism, seemed very intimate all the way, and seemed very happy to have a junior brother. He learned about his previous experience from the conversation with Xu Qingfan along the way, and finally understood why Lu Huayan accepted Xu Qingfan as his disciple. He expressed his admiration for Xu Qingfan's courage to avenge his family and was not afraid of danger. However, he did not raise any objections to Lu Huayan's actions. It seemed that he was also a respectful person to teachers and Taoism.

According to Yue Qing Confucians, Lu Huayan is introverted and has high skills, but he has never liked to accept disciples. Seventy-five years ago, it was just because Yue Qing Confucians' ancestors were kind to Lu Huayan. Therefore, although this Changchun residence covers a large area, only Changchunzi and Yue Qing Confucians lived in it before, which was very deserted. This is why Yue Qing Confucians were so happy that they had a junior brother.

The two brothers talked while walking. From Yue Qingru, Xu Qingfan also roughly understood the basic situation of the Jiuhua Sect where he was.

It turns out that Jiuhua Sect is a sect founded by the master Jiuhua Zhenren 7,000 years ago. After years of development, its strength has become increasingly stronger. It has been known as the six holy places of cultivation in the world with Qingxu Sect, Kushu Valley, Chanyun Temple, Five Elements Sect, and Su Nu Palace three thousand years ago.

Unfortunately, this glorious experience did not last long.

Eight hundred years ago, Zhang Xusheng, a top master in Jiuhua Sect, escaped into the devil's path, calling himself "Snake Star Lord" and killed many masters of Jiuhua Sect. Since then, the strength of Jiuhua Sect has deteriorated. With the death of Li Xuhan, a master of Lu Huayan, Jiuhua Sect has been embarrassed by the embarrassment of being the six holy places for cultivation, but no peerless master in the sect who has reached the Mahayana level or above.

But the world of immortal cultivators speaks by strength. With the weakening of the strength of Jiuhua Sect, many sects have a desire to grab Jiuhua Mountain, which has sufficient spiritual energy, and Jiuhua Sect’s unique martial arts and the resources and magic weapons accumulated by Jiuhua Sect for thousands of years, including the other five holy places for cultivation. Therefore, Jiuhua Sect is now in a crisis step by step. It is just that the leader Zhang Hualing’s method is smooth and the mountain protection formation is extremely powerful, and it has not yet suffered any major disasters.

In this way, the two talked and walked around, and along the way, Xu Qingfan also had a general understanding of his senior brother. Yue Qingru was actually of average qualifications, and he has only cultivated to the fasting stage. It was only because his ancestors in his family were kind to Lu Huayan that he was admitted as a disciple by Lu Huayan. This Yue Qingru was born in a scholarly family and knew that the theory of immortality was too vague with his qualifications. It was a luxury to live for a hundred years, so he read a lot of books all day long according to his preferences. His accumulation over the years was extremely profound. If he was put into the secular world, he would definitely be a great scholar who was famous.

Although Lu Huayan has always been angry with Yue Qingru's unscrupulous behavior, Xu Qingfan has a greater sense of identity with his senior brother after he understands it. Because he saw the shadow of the second elder who had always taught him to read and read, with the same knowledge and the same elder demeanor. His hobby of reading is also very consistent with Xu Qingfan's temper.

Because of the same hobbies, the two brothers became more and more intimate along the way.

After following Yue Qingru to visit Changchun Residence, Xu Qingfan thought that his master Lu Huayan was still waiting for him, so he bid farewell to Senior Brother Yue Qingru and walked towards Lu Huayan's room.

After Xu Qingfan arrived at his master Lu Huayan's room, he found Lu Huayan sitting cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

"Master, the disciple is here."

"From today, I will start teaching you the method of practicing "The Story of Rest and Flour". I just hope you work hard and study hard. It will help me understand the secrets of this set of exercises as soon as possible, and live for a long time. And you can also achieve a small success in your skills and avenge your own tribe members." After hearing Xu Qingfan's voice, Lu Huayan was silent for a while before he said slowly.

"Yes, I must study hard and help the master improve his skills as soon as possible." After hearing Lu Huayan say this, Xu Qingfan immediately replied respectfully.

Xu Qingfan has been in a complicated mood for Lu Huayan to use his incomplete exercises to experiment with his own incomplete exercises. If it weren't for Lu Huayan, he would have been suppressed by the mountain spirit monster and lived a life of chaos and life worse than death. At the same time, he also gave himself hope of revenge and took himself into this world he had long yearned for. On the way, Lu Huayan was also very serious about his teachings. According to this, Xu Qingfan felt that he should be grateful to him.

However, although Xu Qingfan said sincerely when he was a teacher at Lu Huayan and said the truth, afterwards, when his master thought of his master as his inseparable, he risked his devilishness in order to make him live forever. Although he was voluntarily, Lu Huayan's actions were also open and honest, which made him unable to hate him, but he could not have the right feelings for his master and disciple no matter what.

But Xu Qingfan has always respected his teachers and respected the Tao, so when he heard Lu Huayan say this, he still responded with the rules.

Lu Huayan glanced at Xu Qingfan with great meaning, as if he had already seen through Xu Qingfan's thoughts, but he did not explain anything to Xu Qingfan. He just said to himself: "Before teaching you "The Desolation and Wind", I will tell you the basic common sense of cultivation."

"Master, please tell me." Xu Qingfan said hurriedly.

"All things in the world can be divided into Yin and Yang and Five Elements. And those who are cultivating the true nature absorb the Yin and Yang and Five Elements have trained themselves. The Yin and Yang are divided into good and evil. Those who are cultivating the Yang energy have the righteous energy; those who are cultivating the Yin energy are cruel and cunning. The innate Five Elements are roughly classified in our cultivation techniques. Many talented and outstanding people are born to have more induce the spiritual energy of a certain line, and they will achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing. Your master is dedicated to the wood-based Taoism in the five elements. Whether it is the "Changchun Dafa" that the master has learned or the "Kurning and Wind and Wind Jue" that you are about to learn, they are all exercises to practice the wood-based Taoism. If you practice it, you can absorb the wood-based Taoism in the world."

Xu Qingfan knew that he should be the kind of person who was born without any response to the five elements spiritual energy.

"And we practice Taoism, there will naturally be a distinction between the superiors and inferiors. Therefore, the predecessors divided various realms according to the different strengths of practicing various exercises. From bottom to top, they are: Qi Refining, Fasting, Lingji, Void Pill, Real Pill, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, Out of Body, and Dividing the Spirit. Among them, Qi Refining, Fasting, Lingji are collectively called the Foundation Building Stage, Void Pill, Real Pill, and Golden Pill are collectively called the Killing Stage, Nascent Soul, Out of Body, and Dividing the Spirit. As the skill increases and the realm increases, your life span will also increase."

"Originally, even if you work hard for a lifetime, it is already the limit to the late stage of Qi refining. But when the mountain essence monster snatched your body, it also left you with thousands of years of Wood Yi true energy, and swallowed the inner alchemy of the Qinglong Python. So if you can refine all the Wood Yi energy in your body, you can basically barely reach the late stage of Lingji. But from then on, it will be difficult to improve the realm again."

"I will basically tell you about basic common sense. Now you have any questions you don't understand." Lu Huayan said after explaining to Xu Qingfan.

"Master, what is the strength of the blue-eyed cloud-hoofed beast that destroyed my home?" Xu Qingfan asked without hesitation after hearing Lu Huayan's words. He had been thinking about this question for a long time.

"The blue-eyed cloud hoof beast is a human-level high-level monster, and its strength is probably comparable to that of the late Lingji stage."

"Master, since you said that the disciple has the mountain essence wood monster accumulated thousands of years of wood Yi spiritual energy in his body and swallowed the inner elixir of the Qinglong Python, why can only reach the late stage of Lingji after refining it?"

"Don't compare the cultivation of that monster with the cultivation of humans. If human spiritual intelligence is early, innately it is more suitable for cultivation than monsters. There are also the experience of martial arts summarized by the ancestors for tens of thousands of years for reference. The efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is naturally not the same as those monsters. Just say that the mountain essence and wood monster that occupy your body is originally a tree to attain enlightenment. Speaking of which, it has been practiced for thousands of years, but it has only instinctively absorbed the energy of heaven and earth wood. Now it has just begun to open up. Any junior can defeat it as long as he has a good magic weapon. This is why there are often rumors that a junior who has only practiced for less than a hundred years can chase a monster who has practiced for thousands of years and run around." Lu Huayan explained patiently.

"Disciple is prone to you, Master, what level have you reached now?" Xu Qingfan hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"I have poor qualifications and have only cultivated to the early stage of the Golden Elixir. I can live 750 years more than ordinary people. And if you can reach the Lingji realm, you can live more than 200 years more than ordinary people."

"Disciple has been taught." Xu Qingfan said. Thinking that he could never go any further, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Seeing Xu Qingfan obviously feeling bad after hearing his words, Lu Huayan said again: "Cultivating immortals is a way to go against the will of heaven. During this period, it is extremely difficult. Those who are qualified to cultivate immortals are even more than one in a thousand. I think my Jiuhua Sect has established a sect for more than 7,000 years and is called the five holy places of cultivation. After so long, there are only more than 2,000 disciples, most of whom have only stayed in the foundation-building stage in this life. There are only less than 100 immortals who can reach the elixir stage, and there are not even one who has reached the Mahayana stage. Therefore, with your qualifications, you have the opportunity to cultivate to the late stage of Lingji. Don't lose your confidence, and in the end you will lose more than you gain."

"Disciple respects the master's teachings." I felt the inspiration for him in Lu Huayan's speech, but Xu Qingfan felt a little grateful to him.

"Well, just be sure you understand." Lu Huayan nodded and said, "Do you have anything else to do with it?"

"There are no disciples." Xu Qingfan said.

"Then I will start teaching you "The Desolation and Wind and Wind and Wind and Wind" now." As he said that, Lu Huayan took out a yellowed ancient book from his sleeve. He saw that the book had been in the past many years. The paper was yellow and black, and the right part was burned by flames, leaving only black remains. As for the three ancient characters on the cover, Xu Qingfan learned poetry and books from the second elder since he was a child, and recognized that it was the three words "The Desolation and Wind and Wind and Wind and Wind".

"All things in the world are in harmony. Flowers have prosperity and decline, and wood have withering and flourishing. There is constant and impermanence. Two trees withering and flourishing, north, south, west and east, neither fake nor empty! Withered and withered trees show the world's appearance, neither dead nor prosperous, neither fake nor empty..." Lu Huayan began to read the content of the withering and flourishing decision to Xu Qingfan, and explained it word by word to Xu Qingfan, so that Xu Qingfan could understand it and practice it by himself under his supervision.
