Speed ​​through the cultivation of immortality!

He was quite used to it, after all, he couldn't keep a low profile with this face.

But the look he gave Li Daoyan was no less compassionate than his.

This made him a little strange.

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

Li Daoyan guessed, "It's probably because the female disciples admired both of us because we are both handsome, and the male disciples felt inferior to us."

"puff."

A female disciple next to her laughed out loud.

When she noticed Ji Changsheng looking at her, she immediately explained, "Uncle Ji, don't misunderstand me. I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at this guy Li Daoyan."

Ji Changsheng certainly didn't take it seriously. He just asked, "Do you know me?"

The female disciple nodded and said, "Of course. You ranked first in the assessment of this year's inner disciples, and Li Daoyan ranked last. So if you two walk together, you will attract more attention."

Ji Changsheng suddenly understood.

No wonder others looked at him and Li Daoyan strangely.

The first and the last one walking together are indeed a very eye-catching combination.

Theoretically, it doesn't fit with his identity as an undercover agent of the Demonic Cult.

But thinking of Li Daoyan's expertise, Ji Changsheng stood firmly where he was.

It doesn’t matter whether he is from the Li family or not. What matters is that he really treats Li Daoyan as his nephew.

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

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

Ji Changsheng saw through it: "You know each other."

Ying Hongye took the initiative to explain: "He is from the Li family, and I am from the Ying family, so I know him. But I'm not familiar with him. My mother doesn't allow me to play with idiots."

"you……"

Before Li Daoyan could get angry, the door of the Sutra Hall opened and the voice of the Sutra Elder came from inside the door: "Come in."

Everyone immediately fell silent and walked into the scripture hall.

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

This is a one-armed female cultivator.

Ji Changsheng didn't dare to look at her for too long, for fear of offending the other party.

He then lowered his brows and looked at the cushions placed in the Sutra Hall. Realizing that these were prepared for them, he randomly found a cushion and sat down.

After he chose the cushion, Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye sat beside him, one on his left and one on his right.

Ji Changsheng thought of what Ying Hongye said, her surname was Ying and Li Daoyan's surname was Li, and they had known each other since childhood. He estimated that these two people should be from a large family of cultivators, and the Li family and the Ying family should be very famous in the world. Unfortunately, he had never heard of them.

Judging from the way they both look, they both want to make friends with him.

He wanted to cling to Li Changxi's thighs, and if nothing unexpected happened, Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye wanted to cling to his thighs.

Very reasonable.

As a leg-holding expert, Ji Changsheng naturally does not refuse others approaching him.

After Ying Hongye sat down, she whispered to Ji Changsheng, "The Sutra-Chuan Elder was once the leader of the Yanxia Vein of the previous generation. Twenty years ago, she met Yu Lao Mo Dao Zuo from the Heavenly Demon Cult and was defeated by Yu Lao Mo. Yu Lao Mo used his crushing technique to conceptually cut off one of her arms. Unless she is promoted to the True Immortal Realm, she will never be able to recover. Since then, she has resigned as the leader of the Yanxia Vein and became the Sutra-Chuan Elder. What she hates most is others looking at her broken arm. Senior Brother Ji, you must pay attention to this."

Ji Changsheng's heart trembled.

The Yanxia lineage is one of the eight lineages of Xuandu. It seems that the previous generation leader of the Yanxia lineage is older than Li Changxi.

One of his arms was cut off by Yu Lao Mo.

The leader of the Demonic Cult is indeed a great devil with raging demonic flames.

Ji Changsheng was under a lot of pressure.

At the same time, Ji Changsheng felt the gaze of the scripture-preaching elder falling on him, and he couldn't help but feel even more awe-inspiring.

"Are you Ji Changsheng?"

The voice of the elder who preached the scriptures sounded, and everyone looked at Ji Changsheng.

Ji Changsheng stood up, performed the disciple's salute first, and then replied respectfully: "Disciple Ji Changsheng."

A smile appeared on the face of the Sutra-Preaching Elder: "I heard that you ranked first in this year's inner disciple assessment, not bad. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me privately in the future."

After he finished speaking, a jade talisman surrounded by mist appeared in front of Ji Changsheng.

"This is my token. With this, you can travel freely in the Sutra Hall and Yanxia Peak."

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

He guessed that the elder who preached the scriptures had already known that he had reported Yu Lao Mo's illegitimate child, so he treated him differently.

really.

After he accepted the jade talisman, the voice of the scripture elder also rang in his ears: "Little guy, don't think too much. Yu Lao Mo and I have a grudge of broken arms. I know about your affairs, but I have sworn an oath to the heaven that I will not spread this matter to others."

Ji Changsheng bowed to the elder who preached the scriptures again, and then sat down amid the envious eyes of everyone.

The Sutra-Transmitting Elder did not chat with Ji Changsheng privately anymore, and said loudly: "You don't have to envy Ji Changsheng, the first place winner always has special treatment. If you win first place in the next inner sect competition, it will naturally be your good fortune."

Others quickly said yes.

No matter what you think in your heart, only a fool would disobey the elder who preaches the scriptures.

The elder who was preaching the scriptures naturally knew that the others would not be convinced, so he continued, "Although Ji Changsheng ranked first in this inner sect assessment, he has joined the Yaoguang lineage, so he will most likely not be able to win the inner sect disciple competition next time. Moreover, since he has joined the Yaoguang lineage, his life will naturally be short. There are not many disciples in Xuandu Temple, and I hope that 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 I joined the Yaoguang lineage?

And why can’t I win the inner disciples competition next time?

What do you mean?

Before he could figure it out, he saw other people looking at him with sympathy in their eyes.

Even Li Daoyan and Ying Hongye looked at him with some pity in their eyes.

It seemed that they all agreed with the words of the elder who preached the scriptures.

Ji Changsheng was a little panicked, and took the initiative to ask: "Disciple, I dare to ask what the elder means by this?"

The elder who preached the scriptures looked at him with eyes full of pity: "Ji Changsheng, you are extremely talented. I was very optimistic about you, but you became a disciple of the Yaoguang lineage. Yaoguang... Alas, everyone knows that the Yaoguang lineage is a shame for Xuandu. If Li Changxi could not recruit any more disciples, the Yaoguang lineage would have been expelled from Xuandu Temple."

Ji Changsheng was a little dazed.

This is different from what Li Changxi said.

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

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

The elder who preached the scriptures said carefully: "You should listen to your master's words selectively. She... speaks in a somewhat unreliable way."

In front of all the disciples, she did not make her words too clear and still gave Li Changxi face.

But seeing Ji Changsheng in such a trance, the elder who preached the scriptures could not bear it anymore.

"Since you have entered the inner sect of Xuandu Temple, cultivation is naturally your top priority. In order 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 the Yaoguang lineage. The orthodox way of cultivation, the foundation is extremely important. There is a saying in the Ying Kingdom - a tall building rises from the ground, and every brick and tile is the foundation."

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

Ying Kingdom?

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

Indeed, I must quickly deepen my understanding of this world.

However, at this moment, the most important thing is the way of cultivation told by the elder who preaches the scriptures.

"Since you have entered Xuandu Temple, each of the eight Xuandu veins has its own inheritance, so you will definitely not lack cultivation methods. But the biggest difference between our Xuandu Temple and other immortal sects is that we have shortcuts. We can use tricks to quickly improve our realm."

Ji Changsheng immediately thought of two words: merit!

He guessed correctly.

The elder who preached the scriptures did not hide anything and continued, "Everyone knows that Xuandu Temple is the sect that values ​​merit the most. In our Xuandu Temple, the person who is first in merit will be more respected compared to the person who is first in strength.

“And the benefits of virtue are endless. They can protect us from the invasion of the demons from outside the domain, and can increase our chances of success by 30% or even 50% when we are overcoming the heavenly tribulation. They can also make our hearts clear and make us move forward courageously.

"Merit has another very important function - when we reach a certain threshold in our cultivation and need to break through, we can consume a certain amount of merit and use the special secret method of our Xuandu Temple to break through directly."

Ji Changsheng was surprised and happy.

Is there such a good thing?

Yes, no wonder he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage directly in the Qi Inducing Array.

He has a golden lotus of merit.

Therefore, as long as you accumulate more merits, there is hope that you can reach the Nascent Soul stage in one year, the Mahayana stage in three years, and the Ascension stage in five years.

Yu Lao Mo is nothing.

Give me five years. Let alone killing his son, would he dare to even fart about stealing his wife?

At this moment, Ji Changsheng was full of ambition and saw a bright future for himself.

However, the elder who preached the scriptures was obviously trying to pour cold water on him: "Because our Xuandu Temple has this method of doing things conveniently, those with weak minds are accustomed to seeking help from merits once they encounter a threshold in their practice. Once these people have taken a shortcut, it will be difficult for them to practice hard again, and they will also lose their indomitable heart of the Tao, and from then on they will become passers-by on the long road, and will no longer achieve anything.

"Besides, the Great Dao is infinite, but merit is limited. Relying on one's own practice, one can practice until the end of time. Relying on merit to practice, once the merit is used up, the one who relies 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 the elders who preached the scriptures were too narrow-minded.

Is merit limited?

Why don’t I believe it?

I can gain merit by killing monsters in the Moon Palace Illusion.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

The Sutra-Transmitting Elder 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 through the realm - your strength will be obviously weaker than those at the same realm. Take the Yaoguang lineage leader Li for example. Li started to practice with merit after breaking through the Jindan realm, and has been the weakest at the same level ever since. The disciples she taught before were the same as her. Once they encountered danger, they would die. So until today, the Yaoguang lineage has no successor. You should take this as a warning and don't go astray."

All the disciples still agreed.

Ji Changsheng also frowned.

It’s not that I was shocked by what the elder who preached the scriptures said.

Instead, he smelled the fragrance of Li Changxi.

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

As for why Ji Changsheng could smell the fragrance on Li Changxi and confirm that it was Li Changxi, it was nothing but experience.

Isn’t it a basic operation for a good man to know a woman by her scent?

If you admit your mistake, you may be hit by a hatchet.

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

And we must fight for Li Changxi's reputation.

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

His performance today would be seen by Li Changxi, and might also be heard by Fairy Linglong, so he must not stab Li Changxi in the back.

Thinking of this, Ji Changsheng took a deep breath, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Elder, I don't agree with what you said. Since I have joined the Yaoguang lineage, I can't sit idly by and watch others insult my master."

The elder preaching the scriptures smiled indifferently and said, "Statement of facts is not an insult."

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

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

Ji Changsheng felt another admiring gaze falling on him.

It’s probably Li Changxi.
