Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

The cock crows suddenly.

In the gray sky, a few wisps of smoke curled up.

inside the room.

The oil lamp was already cold.

Zhang Jing held the scriptures and remained motionless.

After reading it over and over again, he was completely immersed in the world of the book.

At a certain moment, Zhang Jing's consciousness suddenly began to slip into a trance, and the scenery in the room faded little by little.

He came to an ancient school.

In front of him is a podium, on which three old figures with white hair and beards stand quietly, with peaceful expressions.

Zhang Jing was sitting below with a confused expression.

What am I?

When in doubt.

One character after another began to be spoken from the mouths of the three old men, turning into mantras. If you listen carefully, you will find that it is the content of the Three Books and Six Classics, but it is even more profound!

Five Elements Chapter.

The five elements are the root of creation and the beginning of human relations. All things are subject to change...

All things are classified into five levels. If the number exceeds five, the number will change. The five qi are in harmony with the four seasons, giving birth to hundreds of products, and molding all things...

...

Countless insights stirred up waves in Zhang Jing's heart.

…

[Three Books and Six Classics·Level 9 (9999/10000)]

…

[Three Books and Six Classics·Level 9 (10000/10000)]

A bright white light suddenly lit up on the jade talisman. Then it went straight into the sea of ​​consciousness in Zhang Jing's eyebrows and turned into a brand made of mysterious runes intertwined.

Shaped like a seed, it takes root in the sea of ​​consciousness and emits a faint light.

This is this? Zhang Jing woke up from the realization and immediately discovered something strange about himself, ...my sea of ​​consciousness? How come there is an extra strange seed inexplicably?

Then he saw that the skills displayed by the jade talisman had also changed.

The original [Three Books and Six Classics], including experience points and skill characteristics, all disappeared at this moment, replaced by a lonely [Low-level method: Mind's Eye].

What exactly is going on? Zhang Jing's eyes widened, Wait a minute, this feeling...

...

Time passed little by little.

call--

A long breath broke the silence.

Will the skills on the jade talisman evolve into the so-called 'law' after reaching level 9? No! It is more accurate to say that it is transformation than evolution.

Zhang Jing's heartbeat was speeding up.

Because he found that the blessings brought to him by [Low-level Technique: Mind's Eye] far exceeded the effects of the previous three skill characteristics. My thoughts are clear and transparent, and insights come from my heart every moment.

This enlightening feeling is simply fascinating.

and--

Follow the feeling in the dark.

Heart's eye! Zhang Jing shouted.

The next moment, he felt that his mind was flowing rapidly like a flood.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the originally quiet mind's eye method now shines brightly.

In Zhang Jing's mind, an illusory eye suddenly opened.

Outside, wind trails, dust, insects and ants on the ground, tiny cracks on the windows... all kinds of traces that could not be caught by the naked eye before were instantly revealed to Zhang Jing's eyes.

It was as if some kind of barrier had been broken.

A large amount of information was continuously captured by the mind's eye and passed to Zhang Jing's heart, where it was digested by him in an instant.

Things that used to feel obscure are now clear and clear.

Is this the mind's eye method? Zhang Jing tried hard to adapt to the new perspective.

However, before he could fully adapt, a deep sense of fatigue roughly kicked Zhang Jing out of his state of mind.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Jing gradually came back to his senses.

Wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Zhang Jing began to recall the strange feeling just now bit by bit.

The Mind's Eye Technique, just a passive blessing, truly elevated his thinking ability to the level of genius, while the effect of actively opening the Mind's Eye put him into a terrifying state of rapid cycle of observation-analysis, learning-harvest and insight.

It's very much like the magical powers in the legends of previous lives!

It can be said that the Mind Eye method has no other shortcomings except that it consumes a lot of mental energy and cannot be sustained for a few breaths if it is actively turned on.

Of course, this is actually nothing. Zhang Jing believes that after entering the immortal path, he will definitely become more durable, and it may not even be impossible to keep his eyes open all the time.

The premise is that he must pass the upcoming Longhu Taoist Academy assessment.

With the Heart's Eye Technique and the Jade Talisman, I'm sure!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing threw his body heavily on the back of the chair as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.

Stretched, turned his head, and looked out the window.

It's bright.

It's almost time.

Zhang Jing's face straightened, he cheered up, quickly got dressed, opened the door and walked out.

Outside the door is the nave.

A busy figure came into view.

Jing'er is up, mother still wants to call you? Mother Zhang rubbed her swollen eyes and said with a smile, Eat quickly, don't waste the time.

On the table.

The two peeled eggs were crystal clear, and the millet porridge and steamed buns were steaming and exuding a tangy aroma.

Your eyes?

Oh, it's okay, it was just blown by the wind. Zhang's mother turned around in a panic and whispered back.

Then, as if to change the subject, she said: Jing'er, the parcel lady has packed it up. There is some money in it, so you need to be careful.

I know, mother.

Zhang Jing's movements stagnated.

Seeing his mother's eyes turning red again before she could finish her sentence, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

A few moments.

Outside the drug store.

Mom, dad, I'm leaving first. You two elders should take care of your health. By the way, you two are in such good health, why don't you just have another one!

Zhang Jing carried the packed package, grinned, and said goodbye with a smile.

You kid, why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight? Mother Zhang yelled from behind.

Haha, madam, I think what Jing'er said makes sense, but it's not as good as...

Hey, madam, please be gentler, your ears will fall off——

The scream suddenly sounded, startling two greedy birds from the eaves.

…

The sun was just rising.

As the county seat of Linshan County in Huizhou, Yongan City is already bustling with people.

Xichengfang City.

On the three-foot-wide bluestone street, horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts struggled to move forward amid the crowds of people. Among them there are many businessmen, traveling heroes and poets, and even more common people from the nearby countryside who get up early to go to the city to do business.

The sound of shouting and shouting, the sound of bargaining, and the noise are endless.

Borrowed it~ Borrowed it!

Zhang Jing moved flexibly through the crowd, getting faster and faster.

At this time, five miles away in Dongcheng, inside Yong'an Academy.

Master Liu was standing under a vigorous ancient tree with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly absent-minded, and he didn't realize that his long gown was soaked by the mist.

Not far in front of him.

A dozen young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying bags on their backs, stood quietly and said nothing.

There was only a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Looking away from the faces of these young men without trace, Master Liu couldn't help but shake his head, with a complicated and unreadable look on his face.

There was some expectation, but more of it was indifference.

How could he not know what these people were thinking.

It's just that... he has been in charge of Yong'an Academy for more than twenty years.

Once every three years.

During this period, Master Liu didn't know how many students were selected, and none of them had bad talent or qualifications, but only a handful of people passed.

In the final analysis, the road to immortality requires both talent and luck.

According to Master Liu's inference, these young men had almost no chance of passing. But he didn't put his hope in these people either.

This time, our Yong'an Academy will not be wiped out again.

Master Liu sighed secretly, and a figure flashed in his mind.

Master!

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

Follow the sound.

A kind smile suddenly appeared on Master Liu's face: Zhang Jing is here, has everything been agreed at home? Didn't they come to see you off?

Master, it's all agreed upon. The journey is not far, I can do it by myself.

Zhang Jing replied respectfully.

He respected Master Liu very much, who always took care of him.

Haha, not bad, he is young and full of ambition. The people from the Taoist Academy are coming soon, please wait a moment.

Okay, Master.

at the same time.

Master.

A young man in embroidered brocade clothes with thick eyebrows and small eyes, a slightly frivolous temperament, holding a lady's harem painting fan, swaggeringly approached and greeted with a smile.

Bo Chang is here too, please wait a moment.

good.

The young man in brocade looked around, then walked straight to Zhang Jing, tilted his head and said familiarly:

Brother Zhang, you obviously live farther away than me, but you always arrive before me.

Because my mother got up early. By the way, brother Ji, where is your luggage? Zhang Jing asked curiously.

Luggage? What luggage? The young man in brocade clapped his fan, pointed at Zhang Jing's back, and said suddenly: Ah, you're talking about this? It's not necessary.

No need?

Zhang Jing remembered his master's instructions and looked at the people on the other side who were also carrying luggage, without asking any more questions.

He knew that Ji Bochang's family background was unusual and he might have his own arrangements.

Brother Zhang, what do you think of the painting fan I designed?

On the side, Ji Bochang seemed to have remembered something, raised the fan in his hand, and asked proudly.

This posture is average.

Is it just average? Damn it, I knew there was a flaw... If you have time, please give me some advice, Brother Zhang!

Ji Bochang's eyes dimmed at first, and then he became full of fighting spirit again and asked Zhang Jing seriously.

…

Under the ancient tree, Master Liu looked back.

That young man named Ji Bochang is the hope of Yong'an Academy this year.

Ji's family is a powerful family in Linshan County, and there are practitioners in the family for generations.

Ji Bochang is extremely talented and has been taught by practitioners since he was a child. Passing the Longhu Taoist Academy examination is a sure thing.

As for Zhang Jing, Master Liu couldn't help but sigh as the topic changed, It would be great if he had the same resources as Bo Chang...

More than twenty years.

I have never seen a student as strange as Zhang Jing.

Regardless of the cold, heat, wind or rain, progress is made every day. Although the speed is not fast, it is terrifyingly steady. And once you learn it, it seems like you will never forget it.

It's a pity that my luck is a bit bad.

Just when I was sighing.

唳——

A clever crane call suddenly sounded, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the air.

Here we come! Master Liu's face straightened.
