Speed up the path to immortality!

The next day.

early morning.

Ji Changsheng is still practicing.

At this time, he had successfully mastered Yaoguang Luohuan, the core skill of the Yaoguang lineage.

A flash of light flashed through the telegraph.

"Chang Sheng, come to the Sutra Teaching Hall. An elder will give our inner disciples the first lesson."

Ji Changsheng opened his eyes and was very confused when he heard the familiar voice.

This is Li Daoyan's voice.

But my cheap nephew has no talent for cultivation.

Yesterday, during the Qi Entrainment Formation, I did not attract any meritorious Qi.

How did he gain access to the inner gate?

Ji Changsheng thought his eldest nephew had returned to the Li family.

With this doubt in mind, Ji Changsheng quickly tidied up his clothes and rushed to the Scripture Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Hall, Ji Changsheng saw Li Daoyan greeting him.

"Changsheng, here."

Ji Changsheng walked to Li Daoyan and asked his doubts: "Did you arouse the energy of merit yesterday?"

Li Daoyan shook his head: "No."

Ji Changsheng became more and more confused: "What hidden physique or spiritual roots do you have?"

Li Daoyan continued to shake his head: "You know my cultivation talent, it can be said to be very bad."

"Then how did you get into the inner door?"

Li Daoyan explained: "I am different from you. You entered the inner sect through the orthodox examination. I am a student with special talents and have an area of ​​special expertise."

Ji Changsheng was in awe: "What are you good at?"

Li Daoyan said seriously: "I am good at reincarnation!"

Ji Changsheng: "..."

Yes, Li Changxi is Li Daoyan's aunt.

Ji Changsheng was suddenly very moved.

Li Daoyan could clearly enter Xuandu to observe, but he was still willing to accompany them through the formalities.

He really made me cry to death.

While being moved by his good nephew, Ji Changsheng also discovered something:

He and Li Daoyan became the target of everyone's attention.

He was very adaptable to this, after all, he couldn't keep a low profile with his face.

But the look he looked at Li Daoyan was not much less than his.

This made him a little strange.

"Why are they looking at us like this?" Ji Changsheng asked.

Li Daoyan guessed: "It should be because we both have beautiful trees in the wind, the female disciple feels admiration for us, and the male disciple feels ashamed."

"puff."

A female disciple next to her burst out laughing.

When she noticed that Ji Changsheng was looking over, she immediately explained: "Uncle Ji, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Li Daoyan."

Of course Ji Changsheng didn't take it seriously, he just asked: "Do you know me?"

The female disciple nodded and said: "Of course, you are the first in our inner disciple assessment, and Li Daoyan is the last in this inner disciple. So when you two walk together, you will attract more attention from others."

Ji Changsheng suddenly understood.

No wonder others looked at him and Li Daoyan strangely.

The first and last place together are indeed a very eye-catching combination.

Theoretically, it is not consistent with his status as an undercover agent of the Demon Cult.

But thinking of Li Daoyan's areas of expertise, Ji Changsheng stood firmly on the spot.

It didn't matter whether he was from the Li family or not. The main thing was that he really regarded Li Daoyan as his eldest nephew.

"Ying Hongye, what do you mean?" Li Daoyan was very dissatisfied.

Ying Hongye directly used magic power to condense a water mirror in front of Li Daoyan, and the meaning was self-explanatory.

Ji Changsheng noticed it: "You guys know each other."

Ying Hongye took the initiative to explain: "He is from the Li family, and I am from the Ying family, so we know each other. But we are not familiar with each other, and my mother won't let me play with fools."

"you……"

Before Li Daoyan could get angry, the door of the sutra preaching hall opened, and the voice of the sutra preaching elder came from inside the door: "Everyone, come in."

Everyone immediately became silent and walked into the sutra preaching hall.

When Ji Changsheng entered the Scripture Hall, the first thing he saw was a beautiful middle-aged woman. However, what attracted Ji Changsheng was not the charm of this beautiful woman, but her empty right arm.

This is a one-armed nun.

Ji Changsheng didn't dare to look more, lest he offend the other party's taboo.

He then lowered his eyebrows and looked at the futons placed in the sutra preaching hall. He understood that it was prepared for them, so he randomly found a futon and sat down.

After he selected the futon, Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye sat beside him, one on the left and one on the right.

Ji Changsheng thought of what Ying Hongye said about her surname being Ying and Li Daoyan's surname being Li. They had known each other since they were children. He estimated that these two people should be from the big cultivation families, and the Li family and the Ying family should both be famous in the world, but it was a pity that he had never heard of them.

Seeing the two of them acting like this, they both wanted to make friends with him.

He wanted to hug Li Changxi's thigh, and Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye wanted to hug his thigh.

Very reasonable.

As a leg-hugging expert, Ji Changsheng naturally does not refuse others' approach.

After Ying Hongye sat down, he whispered to Ji Changsheng: "Elder Zhuan Jing was once the master of the Yanxia vein of the previous generation. Twenty years ago, he met Yu Lao Mo from the Heavenly Demon Sect. He was defeated by Yu Lao Mo and was defeated by Yu Lao Mo. She conceptually cut off an arm with the smashing technique, and could never recover it unless she was promoted to the True Immortal Realm. From then on, she resigned as the Master of the Yanxia Vein and became the Elder of the Scriptures. What she hates most is that others look at her. Brother Ji, please be careful."

Ji Changsheng's heart trembled.

The Yanxia lineage is one of the eight lines of Xuandu. The previous generation of Yanxia lineage master seems to be still above Li Changxi in seniority.

One arm was cut off by Yu Lao Mo.

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect is indeed a great demon with monstrous flames.

Ji Changsheng was under great pressure.

At the same time, Ji Changsheng felt the gaze of the sutra-passing elder falling on him, and he couldn't help but become more awe-inspiring.

"Are you Ji Changsheng?"

The voice of the preaching elder sounded, and everyone looked at Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng stood up, bowed to his disciples first, and then respectfully replied: "Disciple Ji Changsheng."

A smile appeared on the face of the elder who preached the scriptures: "I heard that you ranked first among the inner disciples in this session, which is true. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me privately in the future."

After speaking, a jade talisman shrouded in smoke appeared in front of Ji Changsheng.

"This is my token. You can carry it in the Sutra Hall and Yanxia Peak without any obstruction."

Ji Changsheng was startled, then thanked him: "Thank you, elder."

He guessed that the elder who preached the scriptures already knew about his report on Yu Laomo's illegitimate child, so he treated him differently.

really.

After he accepted the jade talisman, the voice of the elder who preached the scriptures also sounded in his ears: "Little guy, don't think too much, I have a grudge against Yu Laomo. I know about you, but I have already sworn an oath to heaven. , this matter will not be spread outside.”

Ji Changsheng saluted the elder again, and then sat down in the envious eyes of everyone.

The elder who passed on the scriptures did not chat privately with Ji Changsheng anymore, and said loudly: "You don't have to envy Ji Changsheng. The first place will always have special treatment. If you win the first place in the next inner sect competition, you will naturally have your blessings." ”

Others quickly said yes.

No matter what they think in their hearts, only a fool will refuse to accept it in front of the elders who preach the scriptures.

The elder who preached the scriptures naturally knew that others would not be convinced and continued: "Although Ji Changsheng ranked first in the inner sect examination this time, he has joined the Yaoguang lineage. There is a high probability that he will not be able to continue the inner sect disciple competition next time. The one who won the first place. What's more, since he has joined the Yaoguang lineage, he will naturally die soon. There are not many disciples in Xuandu Temple. I hope that everyone can support each other and not be jealous of a dying person. "

Ji Changsheng: "???"

what's the situation?

Why do I die soon after joining the Yaoguang lineage?

And why can't I win the first prize in the inner disciple competition next time?

What do you mean?

Before he could figure it out, he saw the eyes of others looking at him full of sympathy.

Even Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye looked at him with pity.

It seemed that they all agreed with the words of the preaching elder.

Ji Changsheng was a little panicked and took the initiative to ask: "Disciple, please be brave. What does the elder mean by this?"

The eyes of the elder who passed the scriptures were full of pity when he looked at him: "Ji Changsheng, you are extremely talented. I was very optimistic about you, but you have joined the Yaoguang lineage. Yaoguang... Well, everyone knows that Yaoguang The Guang lineage is a shame to Xuandu. If Li Changxi could not recruit any more disciples, the Yaoguang lineage would have been expelled from Xuandu Temple."

Ji Changsheng was in a daze.

This is different from what Li Changxi said.

"Master said that of the eight meridians of Xuandu, Yaoguang is the first."

After Ji Changsheng finished speaking, many people laughed out loud and looked at Ji Changsheng with even more sympathy.

The elder who preached the scriptures considered it carefully and said: "You must listen selectively to your master's words. Her... words are a bit unreliable."

In front of all the disciples, she did not speak too clearly and still saved face for Li Changxi.

But seeing Ji Changsheng in such a daze, Elder Chuan Jing really couldn't stand it.

"Since you have entered the inner gate of Xuandu Temple, cultivation is naturally the first priority. To prevent you from going astray, today I will tell you about the way of cultivation, which also contains the reasons for the decline of the Yaoguang lineage. . In the orthodox way of cultivation, the foundation is extremely important.

Ji Changsheng's heart moved and he looked at Ying Hongye beside him.

Yingguo?

This was the first time he had heard of this country.

Sure enough, we must quickly deepen our understanding of the world.

However, at this time, the way of practice explained by the sutra-transfer elder is the most important.

"Now that you have entered Xuandu Temple, each of the eight branches of Xuandu Temple has its own inheritance, you will definitely not lack the cultivation techniques. But the biggest difference between our Xuandu Temple and other immortal sects is that - our Xuandu Temple has By taking shortcuts, we can quickly improve ourselves through clever ways.”

Ji Changsheng immediately thought of two words: merit!

He guessed correctly.

The elder who preached the scriptures did not hide it, and continued: "Everyone knows that Xuandu Temple is the sect that values ​​merit the most. In our Xuandu Temple, the one with the highest merit and the first strength will be the one with the highest merit. People will gain more respect.

"And merit has infinite uses. It can protect us from the intrusion of demons from outside the realm. It can increase our chances of winning by 30% or even 50% when we overcome heavenly tribulations. It can also make our Taoist minds clear and move forward bravely.

"The merits also play a very important role - when we reach the threshold in practice and need to break through the realm, we can consume a certain amount of merit and use our special secret method of Xuandu Temple to directly break through the realm."

Ji Changsheng was surprised and happy.

Is there such a good thing?

Yes, no wonder he was directly promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Qi-Entraining Formation.

He has a golden lotus of merit.

Therefore, as long as you accumulate more merits, there is absolutely hope that you will be able to achieve Nascent Soul in one year, Mahayana in three years, and ascend in five years.

Yu Laomo is nothing.

Give me five years, let alone kill his son, would he dare to fart if he steals his wife?

At this moment, Ji Changsheng was extremely ambitious and saw his bright future.

However, the elder who preached the scriptures obviously wanted to pour cold water on him: "Because we in Xuandu Temple have this cheap way of doing things, once those with weak minds encounter a threshold in their practice, they are accustomed to resorting to merit - when these people take a shortcut After that, it will be difficult for them to practice hard, and they will lose their indomitable Taoist heart, and will become passers-by on the long road without any achievements.

"Besides, the Great Dao is infinite and merit is limited. If you rely on your own practice, you can practice till the end of the world. If you rely on merit and practice, once the merit is used up, those who rely on it will no longer be able to make any progress. Do you understand?"

All the disciples nodded in agreement.

Ji Changsheng did not nod.

He felt that the pattern of preaching elders was too small.

Is merit limited?

Why don't I believe it?

Even if I kill monsters in the Moon Palace illusion, I will gain merit.

As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

The elder of the Sutra Chuan noticed that Ji Changsheng did not nod, and frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There is another huge disadvantage of using merit to break the realm - the strength will be significantly weaker than the existence of the same realm. Let's take the Yaoguang lineage Li Pulse Master. It is said that Master Li Mai started to practice meritorious deeds at the Broken Golden Core Realm, and has been the weakest being at the same level ever since. The disciples she taught before were also like her, and they would die if they encountered danger. To this day, there is no one left in the Yaoguang lineage. You should take this as a lesson and don’t go astray.”

All the disciples still agreed in unison.

Ji Changsheng also frowned.

It’s not that he was shocked by what the preacher elder said.

Instead, he smelled the fragrance of Li Changxi.

Although Li Changxi did not show up at the Scripture Hall, Ji Changsheng can guarantee that Li Changxi is definitely here.

As for why Ji Changsheng could smell the fragrance of Li Changxi and confirm that it was Li Changxi, there was no other reason but experience.

Isn't it the basic operation of a good man to recognize a woman by smell?

If you admit your mistake, you may be in danger of being hit with a hatchet.

Since Li Changxi is here, she naturally cannot agree with the elder who preaches scriptures.

And we must win back this tone for Li Changxi.

He is the only disciple of Yaoguang's lineage, Li Changxi's future Taoist companion, and the only candidate son-in-law of Fairy Linglong.

His performance today will be seen by Li Changxi and may also reach the ears of Fairy Linglong, so he must not stab Li Changxi in the back.

Thinking of this, Ji Changsheng took a deep breath, stood up on his own initiative, and said in a deep voice: "This disciple cannot agree with what the elder said. Since I have joined the Yaoguang lineage, I must not sit idly by while others insult my master. ”

The elder who preached the scriptures smiled nonchalantly and said, "Statement of facts is not an insult."

Ji Changsheng did not take a step back and spoke loudly: "This disciple thinks that the elder's words are biased."

The elder who preached the scriptures looked at Ji Changsheng with great interest: "What do you say?"

Ji Changsheng felt another rather appreciative gaze fall on him.

Probably Li Changxi.

Very good, this is the opportunity to win Li Changxi's heart, you must seize it.

"Disciple, dare I ask the elder, how old is my master this year?"

The elder who preached the scriptures was silent for a moment, and then said: "Thirty to five."

Ji Changsheng was slightly surprised.

Li Changxi is younger than he expected.

Not many are older than him.

He was almost thirty when he traveled through time.

"Disciple dares to ask the elder again, how old are the other seven-line masters this year?"

The elder who passed down the scriptures was silent for a longer time this time, but finally gave the answer: "The current pulse master of the Yanxia lineage is the youngest - just over a hundred years old."

Ji Changsheng smiled, and his laughter was full of worship and admiration for his master: "In the year when my master was established, he has already become one of the eight masters of the most powerful immortal sect in the world, on par with the peerless masters who have been famous for more than a hundred years. , this is clearly the number one genius in Xuandu Guan, even the number one genius in the world, where does this shame come from?”

Everyone is silent.

Only Ji Changsheng's voice of worship and admiration, with the blessing of a certain pulse master surnamed Li who did not want to be named, spread throughout Xuandu Temple, and would later spread throughout the world.

Li Changxi's clear laughter came from Yaoguang's lineage, and it lingered for a long time!
