Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Kunlun, Yuxu Palace.

The Jade Purity Saint sat on the Taoist platform, holding a jade slip in one hand and stroking a purple-black gourd in the other, which was filled with a chaotic aura.

This is the gourd obtained from Mount Buzhou that year. It is a top-grade innate object. It is self-generated and contains the energy of chaos, and it evolves infinitely.

It is the last of the seven gourds bred by the gourd vine. The great Dao contained in it is the most compatible with him, and he refined it into this top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Of course, at his current level, he had already thoroughly comprehended the mysteries of the Dao embodied by the gourd, and even left behind traces of his own interpretation of the Dao.

For him, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure cannot be ignored, but it is not that precious either.

For example, the gourd obtained by his elder brother Taiqing is now only used as a container for storing elixirs.

After realizing the extraordinary spirituality of the innate gourd vine, Yuanshi vaguely guessed something.

Chuckling and shaking his head, Yuanshi put away the purple-black gourd. He had already gained the benefit, so it would be fine to return it to its original owner. The traces of Taoism in it could be regarded as a gift in return for what he had gained, thus establishing a good relationship.

Turning his gaze to the jade slip in his hand, Yuanshi pondered the [Eight-Nine Profound Art] in it. His eyes moved slightly. This method was indeed mysterious.

With his vision, he could see the trick at a glance.

It is based on the dual cultivation of yin and yang, corresponding to the physical body and the primordial spirit, combining the two into one, exhausting the changes of yin and yang, and the primordial spirit and the physical body complement each other.

Although the physical body is not as good as that of a real ancestor witch, it can make the acquired Taoist body tougher than the innate one.

In addition, there are the Taoist magical powers of the way of the spirit to make up for itself, so that people can't find obvious shortcomings, and it is balanced and comprehensive.

Although it was created with reference to the body of the ancient witch, it has its own sense of moderation and peace, and even subtly points to the true nature of the Tao.

"The threshold for practicing this method is not low. Without sufficient understanding, one may only learn something that seems to be right, but not understand its true meaning. One will end up on the wrong path instead of the main one. Only by practicing the unchanging with ever-changing methods can one understand its true meaning. If one gets lost in it, one will go astray.

Wuzhiqi was able to practice this method and get started, so his comprehension is really good."

This [Eight-Nine Profound Art] has an extremely outstanding imitation ability, but this is not its foundation.

Ever-changing is just the appearance, while unchanging is the foundation of practice.

Imitate various great ways and realize my own great way from them. I can be any existence, but my essence can only be myself forever.

You can learn to become like whatever you learn, but you can only become like someone else. If you really become like someone else, you will lose the essence of this method.

Different people practicing this method may have similar methods, but their paths will not be the same, because their paths are different.

What is similar is the appearance, what is different is the essence.

For the same Dharma, what kind of achievement one can achieve depends not only on the practitioner's own qualifications and understanding, but also on the ability of the guide.

Thinking of Wuzhiqi's master Jin Peng, Yuanshi also understood why he was the one who accepted Wuzhiqi as his disciple.

Because among the four disciples of the Qingqiu lineage, except for the eldest disciple Long Ji, Jin Peng seems to be fickle, but in fact he is the least fickle and the least likely to lose his original self.

What changes is the appearance, what remains unchanged is the inner qualities. This is what Daoist Brother Qingxuan wants from Wuzhiqi of the Jinpeng Church.

"Teacher." A Taoist with a simple face entered the hall and bowed.

Yuanshi looked at Jade Ding Zhenren and nodded.

"I wonder if the teacher has summoned me here to tell you something?" Yu Ding asked respectfully.

Being summoned alone is rare in Yuxu Palace.

"How is your new disciple?"

"I am following the teacher's instructions. I am now polishing his foundation." Jade Ding Zhenren hesitated for a moment before continuing, "It's just that Yang Jian's foundation is still shallow. I don't know what avenue to teach him. I hope the teacher can give me some advice."

Yuanshi passed the jade slip to Jade Ding Zhenren: "This method was obtained by my teacher from a fellow Taoist. You can teach him this method. It is suitable for him. But you must remember that this method should not be easily passed on to others."

Jade Ding Zhenren was slightly surprised that his teacher actually personally sought the Dharma for his human disciple. Such attention really surprised him.

"My disciple has learned that the Dao cannot be passed on lightly. Without the teacher's consent, I will never pass this method on to others."

Although he was surprised, Jade Ding Zhenren spoke with a serious expression.

Yuanshi nodded. Although Fellow Daoist Qingxuan didn't seem to care about this kind of thing and just casually gave him the method, he couldn't deal with it casually. It would be too rude to others and break the rules.

"Yu Ding, now that your disciple has become your disciple, you still need to teach him well. Do you know why I asked you to take him in as your disciple?"

Jade Ding Zhenren considered for a moment before speaking: "Because your disciple...is relatively free?"

Yuanshi looked at his disciple, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "That is also a reason."

Jade Ding Zhenren opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say a few words to defend himself.

"Of course, there are more reasons than that." Yuanshi continued, "Among all the disciples, your cultivation is not much worse than Guangchengzi, but you practice much harder than your other brothers.

But the most important thing is your character, which makes you the most suitable to be Yang Jian's teacher."

"Teacher, why is this?"

“You should have known about the many causes and effects of Yang Jian. He is still young and it is easy for him to go astray after this incident. He needs to be guided well so that he will not let down his good fortune.

Moreover, Yang Jian is involved in a lot of things, and there will be many twists and turns in the future. You are calm and composed, and you handle things in a comprehensive and measured way. I feel more at ease leaving it to you."

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren could only smile bitterly.

From what the teacher said, it seems that his disciple will have no peace.

Even the teacher said that he was bound to have some twists and turns, so it was probably not a small matter.

So, is the teacher hinting to him that he needs to be careful about how he behaves when the time comes?

Instead of letting Guangchengzi and other senior brothers do this, by comparing their personalities, we can infer the sense of proportion that the teacher implied.

After realizing this, Jade Ding Zhenren nodded and agreed to the matter.

Yuanshi was quite satisfied with Jade Ding Zhenren's quick insight. Guangchengzi had a very strong temper and was a little overbearing. As the bell ringer of the Chan sect, there was no problem for him to lead a group of disciples.

But if the matter of Yang Jian were left to him to handle, it would only make things worse, and that was not the result he wanted to see.

Moreover, as the open representative of the Chan sect, it is inappropriate for Guangchengzi to be involved in the matter of Yang Jian.

Antarctic people are too casual and not suitable either.

And the other disciples could not find anyone more suitable than Yu Ding.

"Go ahead, but don't neglect your own practice."

"Yes, Master, I will take my leave." Jade Ding Zhenren put away the jade slip, bowed, and left the hall.

Yuanshi raised his hand to calculate the secrets of heaven for a long time, then sighed and shook his head.

The trend of deification is becoming increasingly chaotic and unpredictable.

Yuanshi glanced across the void and paused at a certain location in Kunlun.

There, a handsome young man was leading a brother and sister walking in the mountains. The brother and sister were Yang Jian and Yang Chan.

And that handsome young man is a disciple of Taiyi.

Thinking of the background of Taiyi, his disciple, Yuanshi looked quite strange.

There is no other reason. This is a magical treasure that was compensated by a fellow Taoist. It was born with intelligence and transformed. It is really special.
