Mind Cultivation Record

After all, he is a child at heart. One moment, the cowherd boy was feeling sad about leaving home, but the next moment he turned his attention to the flying sword at his feet.

The flying sword is about ten feet long and nearly a foot wide. It has carved patterns and yin and yang characters. One look at the metallic luster shows that it is extremely heavy, but it is as light as a flying swallow and can carry people flying. The little head of the cowherd boy is puzzled.

The cowherd boy was about to ask something, but when he looked up, he saw that the old man's face was pale and bloodless, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The two of them flew away with swords for a long time. Just when the cowherd boy was about to fall asleep, he suddenly stopped and realized that he was down to earth.

Looking up, the clouds and mountains are misty and empty.

Could this be the location of the Five Elements Gate Mountain Gate mentioned by the old Taoist?

Could it be that he was deceived by some charlatan?

While the cowherd boy was still thinking wildly, two figures shot from a distance. After seeing the old man beside the cowherd boy, he moved faster. After standing still, he bowed and saluted, saying "Elder Yuanxu". This gave the cowherd boy some reassurance, and he thought to himself in private: It seems that his future master still has some weight in the so-called Five Elements Sect.

"Take him down and get him safely settled."

After saying these words, the old man who claimed to be Master Yuanxu walked away with his sword as if his butt was on fire and disappeared.

This not only left the cowherd boy at a loss as to what to do, but the two of them did not expect that such a thing would happen. However, Master Yuanxu was the elder of the Five Elements Sect, so the two of them did not dare to disobey him, but how to deal with the situation in front of them? What about the little brat who is dressed in a rustic style?

The key is, what is the relationship between this child and Elder Yuanxu?

Taking a deep look at the cowherd boy, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This is just a mortal with no cultivation. Perhaps he is a handyman boy recruited from the secular world by Elder Yuanxu, right?

"I'm afraid he was a mortal saved by the elder." One of them said to himself casually. The cowherd boy was stunned for a moment, but when he thought that he was indeed saved by the old Taoist, he didn't say anything to defend himself. His silence became acquiescence in the eyes of the two people, and the man continued to ask: "Boy, what's your name?"

"My surname is Xiao, Xiao Qingyun!"

Xiao Qingyun, the cowherd boy, tried his best to act neither arrogant nor humble.

"Xiao Qingyun? Huh! The name is quite decent! Let's go, I'll take you to your residence."

As he spoke, the man released his flying sword and motioned for Xiao Qingyun to follow him.

The flying sword is nearly five feet long and only half a foot wide. It is undoubtedly much smaller than the flying sword of Yuanxu Lao Dao, but it also makes Xiao Qingyun envious and wonders when he will have his own flying sword. Xiao Qingyun's daze made the man impatient, so he casually grabbed him on his sword and flew away amidst the gloating laughter of his companions.

Xiao Qingyun was really shocked, but soon, he forgot about the shock, and was replaced by deep shock.

The flying sword could only take three breaths, and the tip of the sword seemed to touch a layer of water waves. After the sound of "wave", the scene in front of you suddenly changed - or in other words, it was a completely different world: the white clouds were still the same, but they were rising in the endless sky. Sky, the green mountains remain unchanged, full of exotic flowers and grasses, layers of mountains and rivers, towers of pavilions, occasionally white cranes flutter their wings, golden scales swing their tails, and from time to time there are colorful sword lights flying from different peaks to other peaks. It's really a good thing. Fairy weather!

It turns out that this is the real Five Elements Gate!

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, the man stopped the flying sword on a rather short mountain peak.

"This is the residence of the new handyman disciples, please take care of yourself!" Xiao Qingyun was pushed down from the flying sword three feet above the ground, and the man left quickly without looking back. His implicit warning voice came from the air, "Be calm! Don't cause trouble for us, or you'll look good!"

Although Xiao Qingyun was pushed off the flying sword and was not injured, Monk Zhang Er was confused for a moment: When did he become a new disciple?

I just looked up and saw no one. I wanted to ask where Yuanxu was but I didn't know who to ask. I remembered the warning from that person just now and didn't dare to make a mistake. I just thought it was the old Taoist master's warning to me. A test, or the master's assessment of new disciples.

Just when Xiao Qingyun was looking around, someone had already come up to accommodate him. Apparently, new disciples often came to report, so Xiao Qingyun just took care of himself as soon as he came.

Although the mountain peak is low, there are many vacant stone houses with all daily necessities, so Xiao Qingyun can live in peace and quiet.

I didn't want to stay here for ten days, until Old Taoist Yuanxu came to the door.

"What are you doing here!?"

Yuanxu's complexion improved a lot, but his face was a little ugly. This made Xiao Qingyun a little worried. Could it be that he had done something wrong?

Before Xiao Qingyun could figure out how to respond, Yuan Xu seemed to have guessed something. He pulled Xiao Qingyun up into the sky and went straight to the Deacon Hall of the Outer Gate of the Five Elements Sect.

"Huangfu Wei, you are so brave! How dare you send my Yuanxu disciples to work as handymen!?" Pointing to the nose of the person who bossed Xiao Qingyun that day, Yuanxu asked solemnly: "Who gave it to you? How dare you? Are you, the Huangfu family, trying to get on top of my Lu family?"

"Elder, calm down! I really don't know this... this junior brother is actually your elder..." Before Huangfu Wei finished speaking, Yuan Xu cursed again: "Junior brother? Who the hell is your junior brother? This Although I haven't started practicing yet, my Yuanxu's disciple is an inner disciple. What qualifications do you, an outer disciple, have to be his senior disciple? Or do you think you don't even see me, the first master of Yanzhu Peak, Yuanxu? "

"This..." Huangfuwei's expression changed again and again. Seeing that Yuanxu was about to get angry again, he gritted his teeth and saluted Xiao Qingyun: "Outer disciple Huangfuwei pays homage to Xiao...Senior Brother Xiao, and please have a large number of Senior Brother, Don’t blame me for my unintentional mistake!”

From beginning to end, Xiao Qingyun remained silent, not because he wanted to pretend to be serious, but because he didn't know what to say. Although Xiao Qingyun is not familiar with the world, he is not stupid. After Yuanxu made such a fuss, how could he not know that he was looked down upon by Huangfu Wei, but at this moment, Huangfu Wei, who was much older than him, bowed to him. Although Xiao Qingyun felt happy to apologize, he didn't know how to respond.

After all, Xiao Qingyun is just a twelve-year-old child, not to mention that he was just a cowherd boy before, and he really has no experience in dealing with this kind of situation.

Looking for help, he glanced at Yuanxu, and Xiao Qingyun couldn't help but be startled when he saw his unfathomable expression.

An idea flashed in his mind, and Xiao Qingyun had made up his mind.

"Junior Brother Huangfu, right? He who doesn't know is not guilty. It's my fault for not making it clear in advance. As long as Junior Brother Huangfu doesn't flatter others and despise others like this in the future, that's all." Xiao Qingyun said it lightly and with an old-fashioned attitude. But he broke into a cold sweat. Huangfuwei's face was livid, but he had to lower his head and promise: "Thank you, senior brother, for disregarding the past grudges! Senior brother's teachings today, Huangfuwei will remember them in his heart and will never forget them!"

"This matter has been revealed, let's go!"

He casually waved away the Huangfu guards, and Yuan Xu took Xiao Qingyun away through the clouds.

Xiao Qingyun's anxious heart gradually calmed down. He looked back at Huangfu Wei who was standing there, and he suddenly realized: he is no longer the cowherd boy he used to be!

He, Xiao Qingyun, has become a real person today - making rapid progress!

Yanzhu Peak, Yuanxu Cave Mansion, Master Yuanxu is sitting in the hall.

"Although Huangfu Wei is a disciple of the Huangfu family, he is just a sideline disciple. He has some talent after practicing to the ninth level of qi training. What's even more rare is that he can lower his face and admit his mistakes to a person like you who has no cultivation. It's quite a city." Yuanxu slowly drank the fragrant spirit tea, but kept glancing at the young man in front of him. When Xiao Qingyun heard this, he hurriedly replied: "It's all because of the master's reputation!"

"Haha, you can teach me!" Master Yuanxu smiled heartily and asked: "I am confused as a teacher. I don't know your name. How old are you this year?"

"The disciple's surname is Xiao, his name is Qingyun, and he is twelve years old!"

"oh……"

Yuanxu's expression remained motionless, as if he didn't care about his disciple's name. He casually pulled Xiao Qingyun over and injected a stream of true energy into Xiao Qingyun's body.

Xiao Qingyun felt a warm current rushing in from the veins of his right hand that was pulled by Yuanxu, traveling along the arm to the chest and abdomen, and then slowly downward to the lower abdomen, then extending from the back to the top of the head, and finally from the veins of his left hand. When the door disappeared, I felt sore and numb, and I almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Just seeing Yuan Xu's increasingly ugly expression, Xiao Qingyun couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

"Master, but...but is there anything wrong?"

"Well... although I'm a little disappointed, it's reasonable." Yuanxu replied in a confused way, and then he was silent again. After a long time, he said again: "Your spiritual roots are not even close to what is expected." Not good enough, just barely able to practice Taoism.”

"Spiritual roots?"

"Your spiritual roots and five elements are complete, which is considered the lowest level."

Master Yuanxu did not explain the so-called "spiritual root", but gave Xiao Qingyun a severe blow in the most direct way.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyun clenched his hands tightly, and his expression became uncertain.

"If others were like you, I would definitely not take the trouble to help them go up the mountain. But as my teacher said, you are destined to be my teacher. Although your spiritual roots are poor, diligence can make up for it. As long as you devote yourself to the Tao in the future. , if you succeed in building the foundation, you can live happily for three hundred years, do you understand?" Seeing Xiao Qingyun's eyes gradually firming up and his expression resolute, Yuanxu nodded and continued: "Qingyun's reputation is too utilitarian, and it is of no use to cultivating Taoism. So I changed my name to 'Xiao Mian' and worked hard to live up to the celestial relationship I had with you as my teacher."

Although Xiao Qingyun was a little reluctant when he heard this, he still nodded in agreement.

From now on, he is Xiao Mian.

Yuanxu didn't care about this. With a wave of his hand, three things appeared on the small coffee table next to him like magic.

An ancient book, a small three-inch high porcelain vase and a small dark disc.

"The ancient scroll is the "Five Elements of Qi Transformation Technique", the foundation-building method of our sect. It is easy to explain in simple terms and is the easiest to build the foundation. I see that you are also literate, so I took it back and read it for myself. If you don't understand anything, you can come to me for advice at any time; inside the porcelain bottle It's the 'Guanyuan Dan', which will help you strengthen your foundation and strengthen your physique; as for this magic weapon..." Seeing Xiao Mian's eyes staring at the disc, Yuanxu took it in his hand and threw it in the air , the disk, which was no bigger than a fist, grew with the wind and became like a millstone, and then it settled in mid-air. Xiao Mian couldn't help but hear Yuan Xu explain: "This object is called the Hunyuan Stone. Although it is a mid-level magic weapon, it is also quite powerful, so I gave it to you. I just want to use this stone." To use a magic weapon, you must have at least the fourth level of Qi training, so you have to work hard."

"Thank you Master for your favor, Qingyun - no! If Xiao Mian succeeds in the future, he will definitely repay Master for his kindness!"

"We'll wait until you build the foundation." He glanced at Xiao Mian enigmatically. Yuanxu summoned the Taoist boy, pointed at Xiao Mian and said, "This is Xiao Mian, my newly admitted disciple. Report to the sect that you should go to the inner gate deacon hall with him with my command talisman, so as not to cause trouble for you Senior Brother Xiao."

"Yes! Brother Xiao, please come with me."

"Thank you, junior brother!"

After bowing respectfully to Yuan Xu, Xiao Mian followed the Taoist boy and left.

For a time, only Old Taoist Yuanxu was left in the huge cave.

After a long time, Yuan Xu casually moved towards the screen behind him, and a figure appeared behind the screen.

I saw that the man was no older than a weakling, tall and well-proportioned, with a face that, although not handsome, was heroic and majestic.

"Chengfeng, what do you think?" Yuanxu seemed to be very close to the young man, his tone was casual, and the young man also spoke bluntly: "Although this boy is young, he is well-founded, neither arrogant nor humble, but his spirit Are your qualifications really that bad?”

"It is true that the five elements are complete and extremely mixed. It is the lowest spiritual root for cultivating the Tao!"

"That being the case, grandpa, why do you want to admit him?"

But it turned out that this young man was Yuanxu's grandson, whose surname was Lu and Chengfeng.

"Chengfeng, grandpa is already two hundred and forty years old this year. Although monks in the foundation-building period are said to have a lifespan of three hundred years, grandpa has injured his origin and damaged his foundation in his early years. He is afraid that he will not live to the end of his life, and he will only be less than two years old. Ten years of life..."

"Grandpa, you are now at the top level of the foundation building stage, and you are only one step away from the legendary golden elixir avenue. As long as you can successfully form the elixir, you can have a life span of five hundred years, so why waste your energy on this kid? On your body?" Seeing his grandfather shake his head, Lu Chengfeng was full of doubts, but then he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed with disbelief: "Could it be that... could that kid..."

"The secret must not be leaked before the time comes! You just need to keep an eye on him for me! If you have nothing else, go down first..."

"..., yes! My grandson obeys!"

Following Yuan Xu's order, Lu Chengfeng turned around and walked out of the cave.

Only Yuanxu was always sitting in the hall, eyes slightly closed, silent.
