Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

"Master, do you also practice the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue"?"

Zhou Ling asked again.

From practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" to now, the master has given me extremely detailed guidance.

She knows all the problems she will encounter during her cultivation.

We will guide and allow you to make cultivation adjustments based on your own situation.

But now that the breakup was imminent, Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

After all, according to the grade of "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue", one can roughly practice to the middle and late stages of Jindan.

If the master is practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue", then his cultivation level should be roughly at the late stage of Jindan.

Of course, this is just Zhou Ling's curiosity.

That's why I ask this question.

"I did practice the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" before, and in less than half a year, I basically reached the first level of Dzogchen."

"When I was eighteen years old, I used high-level five-element spiritual objects to achieve heavenly foundation. Later, by chance, I condensed the five-element golden elixir."

"However, it is a pity that I did not find suitable high-level exercises for water and earth attributes. I only practiced the other three attribute exercises."

"Although the progress is faster, it is not satisfactory enough."

Zi Ling smiled and said to Zhou Ling.

The tone was casual and natural, and the Heavenly Grade Foundation Building and Five Elements Golden Pill seemed to her to be a matter of course and natural.

After hearing the master's words, Zhou Ling also verified his guess. The master was at least a golden elixir master, or even a Nascent Soul.

"Do you want to know about the follow-up training methods of "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue"?"

"You don't have to worry about this. If you can enter the golden elixir, it will be much easier to choose subsequent exercises. You can continue on the path of the Five Elements, or you can choose to practice any attribute in the Five Elements."

"However, you are only a low-grade spiritual root. Don't think too much about anything else for the time being. First, practice the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue" to the first level of Dzogchen."

"Try again to see if you can find the other three spiritual flames."

"If you have the opportunity to find the other three spiritual flames, you can try the Five Elements Heavenly Grade Foundation Building."

"As long as you achieve heaven-level foundation building, even if you have low-level spiritual roots, you will have a great chance of entering the golden elixir in the future."

"If you are lucky, you may even become a Nascent Soul. This is the benefit of practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" and using the spirit flames to condense the heavenly quality and build the foundation."

Zi Ling took a sip of wine and said lightly.

"Master, if you cannot achieve the Heavenly Grade Foundation Building, can you enter the Golden Core in the future?"

Zhou Ling couldn't help but ask.

Now that he has the talent of [Marrow Cleansing and Root Refining], he knows that his spiritual roots can gradually improve in the future.

Although it is necessary to use the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, the probability of finding such spiritual objects is always higher than that of finding the spiritual flames of heaven and earth.

Moreover, at the seventh level of Qi training, according to the current progress of cultivation, he should be able to reach the ninth level of Qi training within two years.

You can prepare to build the foundation, but you have to find the other three attributes of spiritual flame within two years.

That's simply impossible.

Of course, at my current age, even if I build the foundation a few years later, it won't have any impact.

But the key is to find the spirit flame to make sense.

"If you can't achieve the Heavenly Grade Foundation Establishment, then with your low-grade spiritual root qualifications, the chance of entering the Golden Core is very low!"

Then, Zi Ling smiled and shook his head.

"Don't think too much at the moment. Practice the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue" to the first level of Dzogchen first, and then prepare for foundation building. This progress is not ideal."

"Furthermore, the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret" requires the five elements to restrain each other and work step by step to achieve the most perfect effect."

"Your fire and wood attributes are pretty good now, but for the other three attributes, your current cultivation level is at most the spiritual power of the third level of Qi training."

"This kind of situation can never exist before foundation construction."

“Make sure the other attributes keep up!”

"Yes, Master."

After hearing these words, Zhou Ling was also a little frightened secretly.

Since I originally practiced the Spirit Flame Art, after switching to the "Five Elements Qianyang True Art", the fire attribute spiritual power was transformed the fastest.

It is also the easiest to practice.

Coupled with the surrounding aura factors, he did not focus too much on practicing other attribute magic arts.

Instead, he was greedy for progress and kept focusing on fire-attribute magic arts.

If this imbalance continues, he will obviously lose the meaning of practicing "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue".

It also cannot take advantage of the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue".

But nowadays, it is unrealistic to find a spiritual vein that possesses the attributes of all five elements at the same time.

Zhou Ling was thinking in his mind that when he arrived at the Taoist Academy, he would have to carefully plan his next training plan.

Like the wood attribute spiritual energy, the reason why he didn't lose much was mainly because he used the elixir to absorb the spiritual power contained in it.

There is also a magic circle at home, which can condense the wood attribute aura.

But how to solve the other three types?

Zhou Ling had no idea at the moment.

"You don't have to worry, laying a solid foundation is the most important thing."

"When we get to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy, there is abundant spiritual energy there, and the effect of cultivation will be far better than that of Lingxia Immortal City!"

After Zi Ling finished speaking, she drank the spirit wine and looked at the lush maple trees on the mountainside.

Seeing that the master didn't mean to say anything anymore, Zhou Ling thought for a while and said again with expectation, "Master, why don't you go to Qingyun Immortal City with us?"

In his heart, he hoped that his master could go to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy with him.

Anyway, now that I have enough spiritual stones in my hand, I can rent a small courtyard with abundant spiritual energy for my master in Qingyun Fairy City, which is better than staying in Maple Leaf Mountain.

Although Zi Ling said yes, he and Wang Xin were just registered disciples, but no matter what the situation, Zhou Ling would always regard her as his true master.

Zi Ling picked up the wine gourd and continued to drink, "Master has his own place to go, you don't have to worry!"

After hearing what the master said, Zhou Ling didn't say much.

This lasted nearly a year, although most of the time, they meditated and practiced under the fire maple tree.

But every time they encounter any problems in their cultivation, Master will explain them clearly.

They even gave him the Green Lotus Fire Seed and the "Five Elements Qianyang True Secret", which were spiritual objects and techniques that were enough to determine the foundation of his cultivation.

If possible, Zhou Ling hopes that his master can be by his side for the rest of his life to guide him in his cultivation.

Unfortunately, the master has her own choice and will not follow her to Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

In three days, it will be September.

The day after tomorrow, he and Wang Xin will also go to Qingyun Fairy City.

By then, he may not even return to Lingxia Fairy City for the New Year, and Master may not continue to stay in Maple Leaf Mountain.

"Master, where should we find you in the future?"

At this time, Wang Xin also said softly.

His face was full of reluctance.

"You two little guys, don't worry about Master. If Master wants to find you, he will naturally find you!"

Zi Ling shook his head and said.

Wang Xin didn't ask any more questions, she ran over and rubbed Zi Ling's shoulders.

······．

The next day.

The Zhou family was bustling again, this time it was a college entrance banquet.

The wine shop is closed for the day.

Wonho and the two winemakers from the winery came over early to help.

Today, Li Ru bought two spiritual sheep.

Zhou Shan was busy chopping mutton on the patio early in the morning.

In addition to coming here by himself, Yuanhu also brought his fiancée, Zhao Yu, who had already made an engagement.

She is pretty and pretty, but when she first arrived, she was a little shy.

After staying for a while, we gradually became familiar with each other.

Moving things along with Wonho was very busy.

Li Rudu couldn't help but smile and praise, "Hu Zi is in luck this time!"

Zhou Ling looked strange. This boy was obviously a wife, but the treatment didn't look like it!

However, he also heard that Zhao Yu was just a miscellaneous spiritual root.

Although the Zhao family has good resources, Zhao Yu is only at the third level of Qi training.

Even worse than Yuan Hu, who has few resources. Obviously his cultivation qualifications are average.

And now, after almost a year of training.

Wonho is even more stable and mature in his dealings with others.

Everyone in the neighborhood knows him well.

"Huzi, your wife is so handsome."

"When are you going to invite Uncle Jiu to the wedding banquet?"

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I will definitely invite you when the time comes!"

"Uncle Liu, drink more, the spirit wine is enough for today!"

Yuanhu said with a smile while giving everyone drinks.

Zhou Ling greeted the guests at the door.

Fang Jiaoxi, Master Lu, Wang Yu, Wang Xin, the He family brothers and sisters, all of whom Zhou Ling was familiar with, basically all came over.

At noon, eight tables were set up from the main room to the patio, and they were all full of people.

They were all neighbors, and the whole family came over.

Zhou Ling took the wine bowl and toasted to thank Wang Yu, Fang Jiaoxi and others one by one.

We had a few more drinks with Chu Xing, Xu Jiu and others.

Then, he came to the table where they were sitting.

In this one, there were only six of them, the He family brother and sister, Wang Xin, Zhao Yu, Yuan Hu and him.

While eating, Wonho stood up and toasted with the others.

He is also busy adding soup and meat to other tables, so he is also the busiest person.

He Zijian and the others ate with gusto.

This time, both the spirit sheep and spirit fish were of good quality and the meat was delicious. Coupled with Li Ru's secret blend, the taste was very delicious.

"Tomorrow, we will gather at Lingxia Sect Square at noon!"

"At that time, there will be a war boat to take us to Qingyun Fairy City!"

"It may take a day's flight to reach Qingyun Fairy City."

After having a few bowls with Zhou Ling, He Zijian said with a smile.

"Brother He, have you been to Qingyun Fairy City?"

Zhou Ling asked.

He Zijian nodded, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "I went there once with my ancestor before."

"The scale of Qingyun Immortal City is more than a hundred times larger than Lingxia Immortal City, and it has abundant spiritual energy."

"And it is the transportation hub of many fairy cities in the northwest of Qingyang Fairyland. It has outstanding people and extremely developed commerce."

"In addition to the Four Avenues, there are many other schools and several sects."

"Although the four Taoist temples are branches, the teaching level of each Taoist temple is at the lowest stage of foundation building."

After hearing this, Zhou Ling was also looking forward to it.

Yuan Hu and Zhao Yu listened with envy on their faces, but they also knew that they couldn't even enter Lingxia Taoist Temple.

For other things, there is no need to think too much.

In this life, I can only stay in Lingxia Fairy City. If I am lucky, I may be able to enter the later stage of Qi training.

As for foundation building, that is basically impossible.

"Zhou Ling, you have passed Xuanyuan Taoist Academy's special recruitment assessment, so you may need to go through some other procedures!"

He Zijian continued to talk to Zhou Ling while drinking.

Zhou Ling nodded. Teacher Hu just gave him the jade token for the special recruitment assessment, and asked him to use the jade token to register at the Taoist Academy and apply for a foundation-building seed quota.

As for He Zijian's brother and sister, they all got their wish, and He Zijian entered the Feilong Battle Academy.

He Lingyun is from Tianxia Taoist Academy.

"Brother He, with your level of cultivation, you are the outer disciple of the Taoist Academy. So what level of cultivation is required to become an inner disciple?"

Yuan Hu, who had just sat down, also asked curiously.

"Outer disciples of the Taoist Academy can generally practice for six years. Within six years, if you can successfully build a foundation, you can become an inner disciple."

"Otherwise, you have to leave the Taoist Academy."

"Disciples like me who have practiced Qi at the ninth level can become inner disciples as long as they can successfully build a foundation after entering the Taoist Academy."

"The treatment of inner disciples and outer disciples is completely different."

"So, the identity of a foundation-building seed is very important!"

"Once you get it, you can get a lot of foundation-building resources."

He Zijian continued to introduce.

Among the people present, he has the broadest knowledge.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling also showed joy on his face, but what he got now was only a foundation-building seed quota.

To become a real foundation-building seed, you still need to pass the Taoist Academy's assessment.

And he can get this quota, which is already a great advantage over other disciples.

After all, the main purpose of entering the outer courtyard to practice is to successfully build a foundation and enter the inner courtyard.

Only by entering the inner courtyard can you be considered a true disciple of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

There is a chance to get in touch with various high-level skills of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.

Afterwards, He Zijian also introduced the situation of the four major Taoist academies in Qingyun Immortal City to them.

Until the end of the banquet, everyone left.

"Brother Ling, you are leaving Lingxia Immortal City alone this time, please take care of yourself!"

After everyone left, Yuan Hu cleaned up the tables, chairs and tableware, and said to Zhou Ling reluctantly.

The two entered the Taoist Academy when they were about three years old and have been together until now.

Although this year, because of Zhou Ling's practice, they have met less.

But the relationship between the two, in Yuan Hu's view, is not brothers, but better than brothers.

"I am just going to Qingyun Immortal City to practice, and I will come back in the future, and I can also contact through spiritual letters."

Zhou Ling said with a smile.

He was also reluctant to leave his parents in his heart.

Therefore, only by striving to build a foundation as soon as possible and having a foothold in Qingyun Immortal City can he bring his parents to Qingyun Immortal City.

After all, the concentration of spiritual energy in Qingyun Immortal City is far better than that in Lingxia Immortal City, which is also conducive to his parents' practice.

Of course, this is just a plan in his mind.

Only when we get to the Taoist temple and gradually stabilize, we can plan step by step.

Yuan Hu smiled and nodded. Although he felt sad, he felt relieved thinking that with Zhou Ling's talent, he would definitely be able to build a foundation in the future. He smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Ling, you will definitely be able to build a foundation in the future."

"My parents are urging me to marry into the Zhao family. I have no hope of building a foundation in this life."

"I can only hope to have a son with better talent in the future to fulfill my wish!"

Zhou Ling patted Yuan Hu's shoulder and comforted him, "Huzi, you are only eleven years old and have reached the fourth level of Qi training. There will be opportunities in the future!"

"Brother Ling, I really still have a chance to build a foundation!"

Hearing this, Yuan Hu was also refreshed, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

He always believed in Zhou Ling's words.

Zhou Ling nodded, knowing that building a foundation was not that easy.

But Yuan Hu has good talent and understanding, but he just doesn't have any opportunities.

Perhaps marrying into the Zhao family may be his opportunity.

Of course, if possible, he would naturally lend him a helping hand.

"I will listen to Brother Ling and continue to practice well in the future!"

Yuan Hu said with a smile.

After the guests left, Li Ru began to prepare items for Zhou Ling to take with him, such as clothes, dried animal meat, etc.

Although he knew that his son was going to the Taoist temple to study, he was still reluctant to let him go.

"Ling'er has grown up and will have his own world in the future. We have done our best for him!"

Zhou Shan said with a smile on his face.

In his opinion, his son's practice in the Taoist temple is the real way out.

In the future, he will achieve foundation building, establish a family, and fulfill his wish. In the future, Zhou family disciples will no longer be born as casual practitioners.

No need to take risks every day and be busy for a living.

"Ling'er will go to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple this time, but it will take a long time!" Li Ru's tone revealed reluctance.

Zhou Shan comforted his wife, "Go to the Taoist temple to practice, don't worry."

Li Ru nodded, "I'm not worried, I'm just afraid that Ling'er can't get used to the food of the outer sect."

"You have to do everything yourself!"

Zhou Shan couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "Hu Zi will get married and have children, don't think so much!"

When Li Ru heard this, she couldn't help but smile and felt relieved.

She also knew that practicing Taoism was a long process, and she couldn't take care of her son for a lifetime.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Ru prepared a table full of spiritual food.

She also filled Zhou Ling's storage bag with various items.

Zhou Ling didn't say much, and gave his mother two bottles of Qi-combining pills, which were refined by Wang Xin.

There were also a few hundred spiritual stones.

He also told his parents not to worry about him and not to think about saving money.

Of course, Zhou Ling knew that even if he said this, his parents might not take it to heart.

It's better to wait until they are stable and take them to their side, then they can feel at ease.

Afterwards, he hired a carriage and the family came to the Lingxia Sect Square.

When they arrived at the square, there were already quite a few people there.

They were all other disciples who entered the four Taoist temples this time, and their families.

Zhou Ling soon saw Wang Yu and the others.

Wang Yu came over, greeted Li Ru and his wife, and then told Zhou Ling to take good care of Wang Xin when he arrived at Xuanyuan Taoist Temple.

In addition, she will go to Qingyun Fairy City in a few months after finishing the matters in Lingxia Fairy City.

Zhou Ling nodded confidently, telling Wang Yu to just rest assured.

Soon, a small spiritual boat landed on the Lingxia Sect Square.

Hu Jiaoxi and Gu Jiaoxi walked out of the spirit boat, and then the ten admitted disciples began to say goodbye to their families one after another and boarded the spirit boat.

Zhou Ling and Wang Xin also boarded the spirit boat with everyone.

"Disciples, there are two cabins for each person. There is plenty of spiritual energy inside. You can enter it to practice."

"We will be able to reach Qingyun Fairy City at this time tomorrow."

Gu Jiaoxi glanced at the ten energetic young men with warm eyes and said in a calm tone.

Seeing that everyone still looked a little excited, she smiled and said, "You must improve your cultivation as soon as possible. The competition among the four great monasteries has already started before you even enter the taoist academy!"

"Okay, everyone enters the cabin. After burning incense, the spirit boat will leave Lingxia Fairy City. No matter what happens on the way, you should ignore it."

The ten disciples calmed down and, led by the assistants, came to their respective cabins.

Zhou Ling naturally chose to share a cabin with Wang Xin, and brother and sister He Zijian were right next door to them.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhou Ling felt a surge of spiritual energy rushing towards his face.

After a brief feeling, this was to reach the concentration of spiritual energy of the second-level spiritual veins, and what surprised him was that it actually had all the attributes of the five elements.

The room is also extremely spacious and has all kinds of living facilities.

The young female assistant smiled and said, "If you have anything, you can come to me."

"Thank you."

Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him.

After the female assistant left, Zhou Ling and Wang Xin tidied up a little.

Wang Xin took out the cup and brewed two cups of spiritual tea.

Zhou Ling took the spirit tea and took a pleasant sip. Then, through the cabin window, he could see his parents in the square still reluctant to leave.

It doesn’t feel right in my heart either!

After a while, the spirit boat gradually rose.

Zhou Ling watched as his parents' figures became smaller and smaller in his sight, until they were no longer visible, and then he returned to the wooden bed.

After sitting cross-legged and practicing meditation, such abundant spiritual energy cannot be wasted.

Wang Xin took out some spiritual fruits and spiritual cakes, picked up a book, and looked at it carefully.

He didn't feel at a loss because he left his mother.

In the afternoon, the female assistant brought them spiritual food, and Zhou Ling woke up from meditation.

Then he picked up the food box, took out a jar of the spiritual wine brewed by his mother, poured a large bowl of it, and drank it happily.

"Hmm, what a strong aroma of wine!"

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the cabin, and then Teacher Hu was seen walking in.

"I've seen the teaching!"

"I've seen the teaching!"

The two people who were eating stood up together and bowed to Professor Hu.

Hu Jiaoxi smiled and nodded.

Without being polite, he sat down at the small wooden table and said, "Pour me a bowl too!"

Zhou Ling immediately took out the pottery bowl and poured a full bowl of spiritual wine. The aroma of the wine overflowed.

Hu Jiaoxi picked up the wine bowl and drank up the spiritual wine in one gulp, with a look on his face that he was still unsatisfied.

Zhou Ling filled another bowl.

After drinking three bowls in succession, Professor Hu stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "It's really good wine!"

"However, I won't drink your spiritual wine in vain. I have news to tell you."

Having said this, Hu Jiaoxi took another sip of spiritual wine.

Zhou Ling listened expectantly.

Wang Xin also looked at Hu Jiaoxi curiously.

"On September 12th, you, the Taoist Temple's foundation-building seed disciples, will undergo a screening and assessment."

"As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a foundation-building disciple of the Taoist Academy, and you can obtain certain cultivation resources from the Taoist Academy every month."

"And the Taoist Academy will choose a suitable dormitory for you based on your situation."

"If you pass the assessment and make it into the top three, you will not only be able to choose a dormitory with third-level spiritual veins, but you will also be rewarded with foundation-building pills and foundation-building spiritual objects!"

Hu Jiaoxi said slowly.

He was very optimistic about Zhou Ling, so he was happy to tell him some of the competition situation in advance.

"September 12th, so soon!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ling was also stunned for a moment.

After all, it was less than half a month, but he hadn't made any preparations yet.

"Well, your opponent this time is a foundation-building seed player who has stood out from hundreds of fairy cities in the northwest region of Qingyang Fairyland. His strength is not low."

"If we can get into the top three, the Taoist Academy will focus on cultivating disciples from now on."

Hu Jiaoxi introduced.

"To teach, the disciple must do his best!"

Zhou Ling replied respectfully.

Teacher Hu nodded with satisfaction.
