Speed ​​Up The Path To Immortality!

Chapter 7 High and Low Emotional Intelligence

The next day.

early morning.

Ji Changsheng is still practicing.

At this time, he has successfully mastered Jadelight Lineage's core skill "Jadelight Illusion".

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 doesn’t have any Cultivation Talent.

Yesterday, during the Qi entrainment formation, no Merit Qi was induced.

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 sutra transmission hall.

As soon as he arrived at the door 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 seduce Merit Qi yesterday?"

Li Daoyan shook his head: "No."

Ji Changsheng became more and more confused: "What hidden physique or Spirit Root 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 the Profound Merit Temple directly, but he was still willing to accompany them through the formalities.

He really made me cry to death.

While being moved by the kindness of 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 that?" 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 Ji Changsheng 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 realized.

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 Heavenly Demon cultivator.

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 Scripture Imparting Hall opened, and the voice of the Scripture Imparting Elder came from inside the door: "Come in, everyone."

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

When Ji Changsheng entered the Sutra 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 to approach.

After Ying Hongye sat down, he whispered to Ji Changsheng: "Scripture Imparting Elder was once the Misty Dawn pulse master of the previous generation. Twenty years ago, he met the Heavenly Demon Cult Old Demon Yu and lost to Old Demon Yu. An arm was conceptually chopped off by Old Demon Yu using a smashing technique. Unless she was promoted to the True Immortal realm, she could never recover. Since then, she subsequently resigned from the Misty Dawn lineage master and became the Scripture Imparting Elder. Her final What she hates is when others look at her broken arm, so please be careful, Senior Brother Ji."

Ji Changsheng's heart trembled.

The Misty Dawn lineage is one of the eight lines of Profound Merit. The previous generation of Misty Dawn lineage master seems to be still older than Li Changxi.

An arm was cut off by Old Demon Yu.

The leader of Heavenly Demon Cult is indeed the head of the Great Demon with monstrous demonic flames.

Ji Changsheng is under great pressure.

At the same time, Ji Changsheng felt the Scripture Imparting Elder's eyes falling on him, and he couldn't help but become more awe-inspiring.

"Are you Ji Changsheng?"

The Scripture Imparting Elder's voice sounded, and everyone looked at Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng stood up, bowed as a disciple first, and then respectfully replied: "Disciple Ji Changsheng."

A smile appeared on the face of the Scripture Imparting Elder: "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 saying this, a jade talisman surrounded by Misty Dawn appeared in front of Ji Changsheng.

"This is my token. You can hold it to pass through the Sutra Hall and Misty Dawn Peak without any obstruction."

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

He guessed that Scripture Imparting Elder already knew about his reporting of Old Demon Yu's illegitimate child, so he treated him differently.

really.

After he accepted the jade talisman, the voice of the Scripture Imparting Elder also sounded in his ears: "Little guy, don't think too much, Old Demon Yu and I have a broken arm. I know your affairs, but I have already sent the law of heaven. I swear that this matter will not be spread outside."

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

Scripture Imparting Elder 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 yours too." good fortune."

Others quickly said yes.

No matter what they think in their hearts, only a fool will refuse to accept it in front of the Scripture Imparting Elder.

Scripture Imparting Elder naturally knew that others would not be convinced, and continued: "Although Ji Changsheng ranked first in the inner sect assessment this time, he has joined Jadelight 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 worshiped Jadelight Lineage, he will naturally die soon. There are not many disciples in Profound Merit Temple. I hope everyone can support each other instead of being jealous of a dying person."

Ji Changsheng: "???"

what's the situation?

Why do I die soon after joining Jadelight 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 Scripture Imparting 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 Scripture Imparting Elder looked at him with eyes full of pity: "Ji Changsheng, you are extremely talented. I was very optimistic about you, but you became a member of Jadelight Lineage. Jadelight... alas, everyone knows that Jadelight Lineage It is a shame for Profound Merit. If Li Changxi could not recruit any more disciples, Jadelight Lineage would have been expelled from Profound Merit Temple."

Ji Changsheng was in a daze.

This is different from what Li Changxi said.

"Master said that among the eight meridians of Profound Merit, Jadelight is the first."

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

Scripture Imparting Elder 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 didn't speak too clearly, but she still saved face for Li Changxi.

But seeing Ji Changsheng in such a trance, Scripture Imparting Elder really couldn't stand it.

"Now that you have entered the inner gate of Profound Merit Temple, cultivation is naturally the first priority. To prevent you from going astray, today I will talk to you about the way of cultivation, which also contains the reasons for the decline of Jadelight Lineage. In the orthodox way of spiritual practice, the foundation is extremely important. There is a saying in the Ying Kingdom - a tall building rises from the ground, every brick and tile is its foundation."

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

Ying Kingdom?

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 path of spiritual practice described by Scripture Imparting Elder is the most important.

"Since you have entered Profound Merit Temple, each of the eight lines of Profound Merit has its own inheritance, you will definitely not be lacking in cultivation techniques. But the biggest difference between our Profound Merit Temple and other Immortal Gates is - our Profound Merit Temple has We can quickly improve ourselves by taking shortcuts.”

Ji Changsheng immediately thought of two words: merit!

He guessed correctly.

Scripture Imparting Elder did not hide it, and continued: "Everyone knows that Profound Merit Temple is the sect that values ​​merit the most. In our Profound Merit Temple, merit is the first compared with strength, and merit is the first. That person will gain more respect.

"And merit has infinite uses. It can protect us from the intrusion of the Heavenly Demon from outside the territory. It can increase our chances of winning by 30% or even 50% when we overcome the heavenly tribulation. It can also make our Dao mind clear and move forward bravely.

"Merits also play a very important role - when we reach the threshold in practice and need to break through, we can consume a certain amount of merits and use our Profound Merit Temple's special secret method to directly break through."

Ji Changsheng was surprised and happy.

Is there such a good thing?

Yes, no wonder he was directly promoted to the Foundation Building Realm in the Qi Entrainment Formation before.

He has a Golden Lotus of Merit.

So as long as you accumulate more merit, there is absolutely hope that one year will be Nascent Soul, three years Mahayana, and five years Ascension.

Old Demon Yu 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 Scripture Imparting Elder obviously wanted to pour cold water on him: "Because we at Profound Merit Temple have this cheap way of doing things, once those with weak minds encounter a threshold in their practice, they are used to resorting to merit - when these people pass through it once After taking the shortcut, it will be difficult for them to practice hard, and they will lose their indomitable Taoist heart. From then on, they will become passers-by on the long Great Road without any achievements.

"Besides, the Great Dao is infinite, and merit is limited. By relying on one's own cultivation, one can cultivate till the end of time. By relying on merit, once the merit is used up, those who rely on merit 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 Scripture Imparting Elder 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.

Scripture Imparting Elder noticed that Ji Changsheng did not nod, 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. Take Jadelight Lineage Li Maizhu. It is said that Master Li Mai began to practice with merits after breaking the Gold Core Realm, and has been the weakest being at the same level since then. The disciples she taught before were also like her, once they encountered danger, they would die. So when To this day, there is no successor to Jadelight Lineage. You should take this as a lesson and don’t go astray.”

All the disciples still agreed in unison.

And Ji Changsheng's brows also frowned.

It’s not that I was shocked by what the Scripture Imparting Elder said.

But he smelled the fragrance of Li Changxi.

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

As for why Ji Changsheng can smell the fragrance of Li Changxi and confirm that it is Li Changxi, there is 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, he naturally cannot agree with Scripture Imparting Elder.

And we must win back this tone for Li Changxi.

He is the only disciple of Jadelight Lineage, the future Taoist companion of Li Changxi, 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: "I don't agree with what the elder said. Since I have joined Jadelight Lineage, I must not sit idly by while others insult the master. "

Scripture Imparting Elder smiled nonchalantly and said, "Statement of facts is not an insult."

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

Scripture Imparting Elder looked at Ji Changsheng with interest: "How do you say that?"

Ji Changsheng felt another admiring 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?"

Scripture Imparting Elder 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 transmigrated.

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

The Scripture Imparting Elder was silent for a longer time this time, but finally gave the answer: "The current lineage master of Misty Dawn is the youngest - just over a hundred years old."

Ji Changsheng smiled, and his laughter was full of worship and admiration for his master: "My master has been one of the eight masters of the most powerful immortal sect in the world since he was born, and he is on par with the peerless masters who have been famous for more than a hundred years. , this is clearly the number one genius in Profound Merit Temple, and even the number one genius in the world, where does the shame come from?"

Everyone is silent.

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

Li Changxi’s clear laughter came from Jadelight Lineage, and it lingered for a long time!
