Chapter 223: Wealth, Dharma, Friends and Land
"On the path of spiritual practice, we must pay attention to wealth, Dharma, and the land. Both are indispensable. You can't go far by yourself."
Gu Xiuyun looked into the distance and sighed in his heart.
Wealth is the endless treasures, such as elixirs, crystal stones, purple spirit ganoderma, and pools of spiritual liquid, all of which are necessary for practitioners.
Without these, just rely on yourself to practice hard?
Decades of breathing practice are not as good as someone else's improvement in half a month.
As for Dharma, it is equally important. Kung Fu secrets, formations and classics guide the direction of the path of cultivation. Without Dharma, it is equivalent to groping on the road at night. You may not fall in one or two days, but what about three to five years? What about thousands of years?
Without the Dharma, the path of cultivation will not last long. If you can step into the realm of purifying the pulse, you will have to burn high incense!
As for companions, they don’t just refer to Taoist companions, but to teachers and seniors.
With their guidance, you can avoid taking a lot of detours and waste a lot of time.
The Dharma points out the direction of the great road, and the companion gives a shortcut to practice.
At the end of the road, different paths lead to the same destination, but after all, different paths lead to different distances.
And the land, although it is the last one, is also very important.
What it represents is the background, the sect, and the power behind it.
For example, disciples of the Eight-Eyed God Sect can easily enter the Yuquan Cave to practice, and sit on the star platform to breathe in the power of the stars.
There are thirty-two jade platforms in the Yuquan Cave. Sitting on them is like having an epiphany.
With the exception of a large sect and a powerful force, can an ordinary family acquire such a heaven-defying treasure?
In Youning City, there are many mortals who cannot see the sun in their lives, but Gu Xiuyun's reincarnation is a direct descendant, who can spend the day and night, go to brothels and restaurants.
This is the gift of ‘earth’.
However, Gu's ability was limited and he could only let Gu Xiuyun enter the pulse-cleansing realm. From then on, he had to rely on himself.
So Gu Xiuyun sneaked into the Wuhen Sect, secretly learned the secret techniques, and listened to Douxiao's sermons.
What he wants is the land of a wealthy and dharma couple.
"The path of spiritual practice is actually a path of competition for resources. If I don't compete, others will take it away. At that time, I will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others."
Gu Xiuyun's eyes were filled with cold light.
He didn't want to be like Elder Fusong, becoming a pawn of the Li Kong Sect and eventually losing his life.
"I don't have the Land of the Wealthy Dharma Couple, but the Eight-Eyed Divine Sect does. The tens of thousands of years of inheritance in the Holy Land of the Divine Sect will never be inferior to the heritage of the four great sects."
Relying on the big tree of divine religion, Xiu
The road will be much smoother.
…
After Elder Fusong finished preaching, Gu Xiuyun rushed back to the main altar.
Every word of the elder's words lingered in his heart. Although these words were refined, they contained profound meanings. Only by comprehending them in Yuquan Cave could he quickly grasp them.
As for the spirit bag, because it contained the soul of Elder Fusong and could not enter the main altar, Gu Xiuyun sealed it in a jade box, then attached a few Taoist talismans and hid it in the palace built for him by the god.
No one dares to break into his palace.
Two days later, Gu Xiuyun walked out of the lake.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if they contained countless mysteries. Elder Fusong's sermons not only dealt with formations, but also sometimes mentioned the cultivation of immortality, and pointed directly at Gu Xiuyun's weaknesses. To him, it was of extraordinary significance.
"Sir Xi Ming, you are finally out!"
A Jintai priest who was waiting by the lake quickly approached, "The three high priests have something to tell you. The migration of the divine religion is of great importance and will take a lot of time, so they would like to invite you to join us in the Phantom Killing Array." Create a thoroughfare inside to facilitate the migration of human beings.”
"Create a thoroughfare?" Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly.
The previous route was not only time-consuming, but also required no wrong steps. Walking hundreds of miles like this was a bit too much for even the Jintai priests, let alone those mortals.
But there are tens of millions of people in the secret world, and it is impossible to transport them there with Xumi bags.
Because the space of the Sumeru bag is limited, it is better to say that when practitioners enter it, mortals need to breathe air. Once they enter the Sumeru bag, they must reserve enough air, otherwise they will suffocate to death.
However, it would take most of a day to walk through the phantom killing array once, and the space of the Xumi Bag can only carry a dozen people at most. It would be more convenient for a divine priest to take mortals through the phantom array.
"I will choose a day to handle this matter. Please rest assured, the three high priests."
As soon as Gu Xiuyun finished speaking, he turned into light and disappeared.
…
Within the hill.
The spirit bag was opened, and Elder Fusong's soul emerged.
"Senior, I haven't seen you for two days. How are you?" Gu Xiuyun asked respectfully.
"What's the good thing? Just linger and wait to die!"
There was a faint look of death on Elder Fusong's face, which was a sign that life was passing away and the end was approaching.
"Junior has been studying for two days and has some new understandings of the formation. Please give me some advice from senior." Gu Xiuyun activated his spiritual power and pierced the ground with fourteen turtle black armor sticks, drawing formation patterns one after another.
Elder Fusong looked indifferent at first, but when he saw the changes in the formation patterns, a look of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.
"You junior, what are you putting in your head?" Elder Fusong asked continuously, "In just two days, you have completely understood the Mingxin Formation. Except for the last stage of the evolution of Dao Yun, you have nothing. error."
After the Mingxin Formation was formed, Gu Xiuyun began to draw another great formation, which was also extremely complex and special.
"Have you mastered the Glorious Formation as well?"
Elder Fusong was even more shocked.
The Bright Heart Formation and the Exhibition Formation are both special categories in the high-grade formations. The Bright Heart Formation directly points to the mind, has the effect of clearing the mind, calming the energy, and assisting in practice.
If you comprehend the secrets of the cultivation method in the Mingxin Formation, the effect can be increased by 30%.
Don't underestimate this 30%. One or two days may not make much difference, but what about a hundred or two hundred years?
Then you can save decades of hard practice, which is so helpful that it is simply shocking.
The Vanity Formation was taught by Elder Fusong himself.
This formation is completely different from the Mingxin Formation. The Mingxin Formation can refresh the mind, clear the mind and calm the spirit, which is helpful for cultivation.
There are countless worldly illusions in the Vanity Formation, which confuse people's minds, but have the effect of refining the mind.
Many sect disciples will never leave the sect in their lives. How to temper their will and improve their state of mind?
It depends on the Vanity Formation.
The vanity of the world is all in the formation, and the seven emotions and six desires are all-encompassing.
It can be said that these two formations are the ultimate of the spiritual maze. If you can understand it thoroughly, your attainments in the formation will reach the peak of the first-class formation master.
After that, it is the master level.
Of course, having said that, that one step away is a world of difference.
If you want to become a master of formation from a first-class formation master, you need to comprehend too many formations, not just maze formations, but also killing formations, illusion formations, maze formations, defense formations, and trap formations...
You must thoroughly comprehend all kinds of formations in the world.
Only then can you truly touch the edge of the divine formation.
"How did you do it, young man?" Elder Fusong couldn't believe it.
The Mingxin Formation and the Fuhua Formation!
That is the ultimate of maze formations. Even a first-class formation master has to comprehend it for several years before he can start trying to set up a formation.
But Gu Xiuyun only took two days. Is he a demon?
No, even if he is a demon, it's not so outrageous. Two days, only two days!
"You, young man, are you lying to me? You have already comprehended the Mingxin Formation and the Fuhua Formation, right!" Elder Fusong said firmly.
