Dedicate One’s Mind

Since entering the Taoist temple in the capital, Wu Yi often saw fellow Taoists from other prefectures and counties being led in by Taoists from the temple. Although he did not know where they were placed specifically, it was certain that they were placed in the outer courtyard like Wu Yi.

Compared with the desolation in front of Wu Yi's door, some people are going around making friends, singing, dancing and feasting. Most of them are children of aristocratic families. One of the ways for a big family to survive is not to put their eggs in one basket. Their children are scattered all over the country, and there are even large cross-border families, which can compete with some sects.

Wu Yi, who is alone, does not have so many relationships to maintain, and he is quite free. He meditates all day long just like he did in the mountain gate. However, with his current state, if he does not have other adventures, he will not be able to achieve the four changes in a year and a half. Peak.

After seeing the fire lion transformed from Fan Mingqing's spiritual energy, Wu Yi inquired about this aspect and learned that if a disciple reaches the peak of the Four Transformations and has no further progress, he will be given the opportunity to go to the inner sect to further practice every year. Some people take this opportunity to step into the foundation and enter the inner sect, but this opportunity only lasts for a month, and they need to leave the inner sect after one month. Compared with those disciples who became the true disciples of the inner sect when they were in the first level of Qi Refining, this is naturally inferior. It took a lot, but at least it left a way out for other disciples.

In fact, many disciples who have not become true disciples of the inner sect often reach the foundation-building realm after practicing one or two transformations on top of the fourth transformation. At the peak of the fourth transformation, the spiritual energy in the Dantian is already full enough to try to open the body's orifices. Some of the changes are to expel the impurities in the aura and make the aura more pure, and some are ways to transform the aura. It is not necessary to practice, but undoubtedly if you continue to practice, you can lay a solid foundation for yourself in the future.

Naturally, the stronger the foundation, the better, but for some disciples who have spent ten years or more even cultivating to the peak of the Four Transformations, being able to build the foundation and extend their lifespan is their pursuit. The generals in charge have practiced nine changes one after another. Even if they can live in the inner gate forever, it will be in vain when the time comes.

Disciples who have not perfected the Nine Transformations cannot become true disciples. Even disciples who were originally true disciples will be deprived of their status as true disciples if they do not perfect the Nine Transformations in Qi Refining. The senior brother Wu Yi asked about does not know the specific reason, but the Yiqi Sect Since the cultivation system in the Qi Refining Realm is different from that of other sects, there is naturally a reason. Perhaps it has something to do with fundamental Dafa. The last senior brother Fu Er said this to Wu Yi.

The fundamental method is superior to the three skills and nine classics, but the foundation of cultivation requires the level of golden elixir. Only the true method can be practiced in the sect. As his cultivation level increased, Wu Yi gradually came into contact with more secrets of the sect.

Wu Yi originally thought that he would spend his time practicing before the king's birthday. Unexpectedly, about half a month before his birthday, Wu Yi heard a call from outside the door.

Hearing that the person outside the door was Fan Mingqing, whom he had not seen for many days, Wu Yi ended his cultivation state and opened the door, only to see a large group of people standing outside the door. They were all dressed in brocade, wearing jade swords, and looked extraordinary. You know he comes from a wealthy family.

Wu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the leader, Fan Mingqing, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Before Fan Mingqing had time to explain, a person behind him said: "Brother Fan, is this the Wu Yi you are talking about? How come he hasn't even completed the Four Transformations yet?"

This person's tone seemed very rude, but Wu Yi was not angry either. Those who could be with Fan Mingqing would not be any worse in cultivation. They should all be above the Four Transformations.

Fan Mingqing smiled lightly when he heard this and said: "Brother Xu, Junior Brother Wu has only been practicing Taoism for more than three months!"

As soon as Fan Mingqing finished speaking, a female cultivator laughed out loud and said, "Xu Feng, did you feel angry in March?"

Xu Feng didn't take it seriously when the female cultivator mocked him. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Wu Yi and said, "Junior brother, it's senior brother Meng Lang."

Wu Yi hurriedly returned the greeting and said: "Senior Brother Xu has offended Junior Brother. Junior Brother is indeed of low cultivation, but there is nothing wrong with him."

Xu Feng laughed loudly and said: "Junior brother is a wonderful person. I heard from Brother Fan that you have mastered the three transformations and are accumulating magic power, so I will give this object to you." He threw an object towards Wu Yi.

Wu Yi raised his hand to take it. He opened his hand and took a look. It was a black and red pill with spiritual patterns engraved on it. When he sniffed it, there was a faint fragrance.

Fan Mingqing glanced at it and said: "This is the Great Return Pill, one pill can be worth a month's hard work."

Wu Yi knew that Fan Mingqing was afraid that he would not recognize the object, so he warned her. However, even if Wu Yi did not recognize the object, the courtesy would not be lacking.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Xu Feng." Wu Yi said.

Hearing the change of title, from senior brother to senior brother Xu and then to senior brother Xu Feng, Xu Feng raised the corners of his mouth and nodded to Wu Yi, accepting Wu Yi's gift.

"Humph." The female cultivator who had been speaking to Wu Yi looked at Wu Yi dissatisfied and said angrily.

Wu Yi smiled helplessly at this senior sister as an apology. He was not an ignorant person, so how could he not see the intention behind this senior sister? It was true to help him, but it was true to provoke and suppress Xu Feng. But after all, she helped Wu Yi when Xu Feng was mocking Wu Yi, and Wu Yi It is also not good to be the person who repays kindness with hatred. Even though he is being used, it is not good to say anything.

If he followed the senior sister's tone and stood on the opposite side of Xu Feng, he could indeed express his bad temper and take the opportunity to have a relationship with the senior sister, but he would offend Xu Feng because of it. Wu Yi did not become the two The consciousness of the competing chess pieces.

But whether he expresses his anger or establishes a relationship with this senior sister, it is false and unreliable. On the contrary, he may be regarded as unwise and become an outcast by this senior sister because of such behavior.

Yes, even if it was once its chess piece, it will be discarded. Wu Yi's rejection of the path given by him will make him look at him with admiration, and he will no longer dare to treat him as a chess piece.

Besides, there are benefits to rejection. Wu Yi secretly said.

Hearing the female cultivator's hum, Xu Feng said amusedly: "Wang Yanran, what are you humming about? This matter has nothing to do with you."

Why couldn't Xu Feng see Wang Yanran's purpose? As for Wu Yi and Wang Yanran, he wouldn't be afraid if they stood together. If they could be used by others so easily, it doesn't matter how talented they are, it's just a glitch in the journey of cultivating Taoism. It's just loess, a passing cloud, and it will eventually dissipate.

Wang Yanran seemed to have expected this when Xu Feng counterattacked, and continued to snort, but stopped entangled and looked away away.

Seeing that things had calmed down, the host, Fan Mingqing, said, "It's rare that all the fellow Taoists gather together on the King's birthday, why don't we have a drink."

Everyone said yes. Since he was summoned by Fan Mingqing, Wu Yi would not be the one to ruin the atmosphere. He also nodded and said yes. It would actually be more helpful for him to make friends with these senior brothers and sisters who had entered the inner sect, especially for him. The secrets of the inner sect, and the reason why Fan Mingqing and others invited Wu Yi was to bet that Wu Yi would not be able to succeed in the future and would enter their level in the future, so they made friends in advance and became familiar with each other.

The monks are said to be pure in heart and have few desires, but in fact they are no different from the ordinary people, except that their pursuits are slightly different. What ordinary people pursue may be to immediately become a prince, worship the prime minister, and honor their ancestors, but everything the monks do is to live as long as heaven and earth. The sun and the moon shine together, seeking eternal life. Both have desires, but one is big and the other is small.

Monks often talk about the Dharma of Wealth Couple. Couple is the relationship with the people around you. If you manage the relationship with the people around you well, you will get more support, which will affect the other three.

Try to make as many Taoist friends as possible, not just Taoist friends with a higher cultivation level than yourself, but also Taoist friends with a lower cultivation level than yourself but with high potential. In comparison, it is easier to add icing on the cake than to provide help in the snow, and the latter is risky. , but the harvest is definitely worth the money. In addition, if you make friends with the former, you are more likely to be regarded as a follower, making people laugh and look down on you. If you make friends with the latter, you will think that you are a polite and polite person.

After joining this group of people, Wu Yi realized that he was not the first disciple to be invited to join. There were already two disciples before him, and two more joined them later. A total of five new disciples were invited to join their team. Although He joined in the middle, but Wu Yi found that the people standing in the front row were always different every time he invited a disciple. If he counted the people in the field, it was not difficult to find that a senior brother and sister invited a new disciple, a total of ten people. .

Wu Yi, who only brought his eyes and ears with him, gradually heard the names of the other two seniors during their conversation, namely Yan Mingzhi and Wei Qingyuan. Wang Yanran was the only female cultivator.

Although Wu Yi and Xu Feng made Wang Yanran very embarrassed, Wang Yanran didn't seem to care about it. She kept asking Wu Yi, not about cultivation, but whether there was a female disciple he liked. He was asked to introduce a topic, which made the reclusive Wu Yi blush and had to remain silent, causing Wang Yanran to glare at him repeatedly and ridicule him for not knowing the charm.

Finally arriving at the restaurant that Fan Mingqing had reserved, he looked up and saw that it was called the Exalted Immortal Restaurant. Wu Yi finally got rid of Wang Yanran's harassment temporarily and got a moment of peace.

The restaurant looks very ordinary from the outside, but once you enter, it is as warm as spring. There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, which is very different from the scene where the cold wind howls outside the door.

The waitresses standing on both sides were dressed in gauze and smiling. Fan Mingqing approached a woman whose dress was obviously different from the other waitresses and spoke in front of him. This woman should be the leader.

After Fan Mingqing explained the purpose of his visit, the woman nodded slightly and said to the woman behind her: "Xiaowan, take the guests to Qingziyuan."

Wu Yi and his party were led by the person named Wan'er to a quiet courtyard.

"Junior Brother Wu, you are here too." A clear voice came, and Wu Yi couldn't help but look sideways, it was Ge Yiyi.

"Well, Senior Brother Fan is so kind." Wu Yi pointed at Fan Mingqing not far away.

Ge Yiyi glanced at Fan Mingqing and nodded, said goodbye to Wu Yi, and walked into another small courtyard. Wu Yi also walked into the small courtyard called Qingzi Courtyard.

Looking at the people with Wu Yi from the corner, Ge Yunyi's eyes flickered and he was thoughtful.
