Chapter 12 12 Choosing a Master

Chapter 12 12. Choose a mentor

There were two people sitting in Elder Yuan's cave.

On the main seat, there is a young Taoist priest, wearing a purple Taoist robe. He looks like he is only in his twenties or thirties.

The Taoist smiles on his face and makes people feel like a spring breeze without opening his mouth.

Yuan Mobai.

A close disciple of the previous Celestial Master, and a junior disciple of the contemporary Celestial Master.

Speaking of which, Wang Guiyuan looked to be about thirty years old, but based on his appearance, he seemed to be older than his master, Elder Yuan.

I don’t know whether I should say that Elder Yuan has good looks, or that Senior Brother Wang is mature.

Unlike the owner of the cave who was as warm as the spring breeze, the other side of the cave had a completely opposite scene.

In the guest seat, a girl was completely wrapped in a black cloak, only a small face was exposed, and her skin was so white that she did not look like a living person.

Fortunately, she didn't mean to overwhelm the guest, so the slight chill only stayed on one side of the cave and did not affect the atmosphere of the entire cave.

After Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan came forward to greet him, Elder Yuan looked at Lei Jun with a smile: "My god is self-effacing and his sharp edge is restrained. He is really a top-notch young talent."

His gentle and kind tone made Lei Jun feel the same as when he read the letter.

Elder Yuan looked at Xu Yuanzhen and said, "Senior nephew Yuanzhen has good eyesight."

Xu Yuanzhen: "I didn't pay attention to his talent at first."

Lei Jun: "..."

Wang Guiyuan: "..."

Elder Yuan's smile continued: "Then why did you take him back to the mountain in the first place?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "...Although I really don't want to admit it, I think he is a good match."

The purple-robed female crown, who had always had a calm demeanor, could even be called indifferent, changed her expression for the first time, frowned, and looked Lei Jun up and down again, her expression was not at all like that of someone who had seen Yu Yun close.

It's not aimed at Lei Jun.

She doesn't like similar feelings when she comes into contact with anyone.

Lei Jun: "The first time I saw senior sister, I felt friendly."

Xu Yuanzhen: "Don't come."

Thanks for the first fortune after coming to this world... Lei Jun smiled.

Teacher Yuan Chang and his disciples didn't seem surprised by Xu Yuanzhen's appearance.

Wang Guiyuan sighed: "To be honest, I was really worried about Junior Brother Lei getting started late. Looking at it now, I am worrying too much."

This is not the first person to lament that Lei Jun started late and was too old when he started practicing.

Lei Jun can also understand.

After all, for practitioners in this world, the level of cultivation is not only related to talent, will and strength, but also closely related to life span and personal physical condition.

As the level of spiritual practice improves, the life state of a practitioner is no longer the same as that of ordinary people.

However, just like the sun, moon and stars, they seem to last forever, but in fact they also have their own lifespan and will also progress towards aging and death.

The monks in this world also have a period of vigorous growth in their adolescence, a period of adulthood in which they grow slowly and can mostly maintain their status, and an old age period in which they begin to slowly decline, and finally have an extremely rapid old age and decline.

First level Qi refining monks are particularly pressed for time, and their life span is similar to that of ordinary people, most of whom are no more than a hundred years old.

If you want to extend your life, your biggest hope is to successfully break through to the second level to build a foundation.

Only if the foundation is successfully built can one extend his life to 200 years.

But there is not much time left for Qi Refining monks to improve.

This growth window that is most suitable for cultivation is actually only about the first quarter of one's life.

That is, about twenty to twenty-five years ago.

After the age of twenty-five, the speed of improvement in cultivation will slow down greatly.

Qi refining monks after the age of twenty-five can try to refine magic weapons, practice fighting techniques, and accumulate more experience to make their combat effectiveness stronger.

However, the progress in improving cultivation began to be half the result with half the effort.

The prime period from the age of twenty-five to about fifty is roughly the peak of a Qi Refining monk's personal practical ability. However, from the perspective of improving his cultivation level, it is more like a plateau period.

However, there is still some hope. Although the possibility of continuing to rise plummets, it will not be cut off.

However, for those of you who are fifty years old and have not yet established a foundation, congratulations, you have reached the realm of Qi refining in this life, and your 100th birthday is waiting for you.

And your personal status will start to slowly decline around the age of fifty.

When you enter your twilight years around the age of seventy-five, everything will fall off a cliff.

Some of the stewards and shopkeepers I met earlier at Qingyundang Riverbank were also Taoist boys under the Tianshi Mansion.

The reason why they left Longhu Mountain and no longer studied Taoism, and had other errands arranged by the government, was because they were getting older, their cultivation had stagnated, and they had to give up the Taoism in the end.

Lei Jun did not come to the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion with Xu Yuanzhen until he was eighteen years old. Fortunately, in the more than a year since he entered, his cultivation level has continued to improve, advancing by leaps and bounds, faster than many Taoist boys.

Wang Guiyuan sighed: "In any case, Junior Brother Lei has a good understanding and a commendable ambition. Now his talent has finally been revealed, and the future is bright."

He smiled slightly: "If the Hidden Dragon Spirit Body can continue to transform and improve, there will also be the Soaring Dragon Holy Body and the legendary Imperial Dragon Immortal Body.

Of course, if Junior Brother Lei has another chance, it may be possible for the Qianlong Spirit Body to transform and improve into other more excellent cultivation physiques. "

Lei Jun: "It's not good to expect too much, but I still want to thank Senior Brother Wang for his kind words."

Xu Yuanzhen: "It's less than two months until the grand ceremony of delivering the message, and Master still hasn't left seclusion."

Elder Yuan: "Senior brother, the leader, had a decree leaked earlier and will be out of seclusion this New Year. Please be patient and don't be impatient."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, then looked at Lei Jun:

"Since you have waited until Master comes out of seclusion, do you want to give it a try?

You have a better chance now that you have awakened the latent dragon spirit body. "

In other words, without the latent dragon spirit body, the chance is actually very small... Lei Jun was not surprised by this conclusion.

The original small chance was entirely due to Xu Yuanzhen's face and the Tianshi's own thoughts.

After all, the Tianshi's personal teaching has a different meaning.

Not to mention that the Tianshi himself is the number one master of Longhu Mountain and one of the few giants in the world of Taoism. It is incomparable for other elders to teach his disciples personally.

Other treatments are also not comparable to ordinary disciples.

Not only will various cultivation resources be accumulated first, but the various blessed places and caves controlled by the Tianshi Mansion will also be opened to the Tianshi's personal teaching first.

For example, the green thunder cage on the top of Longhu Mountain The fairyland covered by the sky is called Shangqing Leifu Dongtian.

The children of the Li family have become more and more high-profile in recent years, but they are still not allowed to enter without permission.

But the disciples of the Heavenly Master can.

Perhaps some people think that this arrangement is unfair.

But the disciples of the Heavenly Master have always been the best of their peers in the mansion.

Looking at the world, they are still geniuses among geniuses.

The objects of their comparison are the peers of other major families and holy places.

It is not surprising that good steel is used on the blade.

Lei Jun had mediocre roots before, so it was naturally difficult for the Heavenly Master to make an exception.

Now that he has been promoted to a spiritual body, the situation is naturally different.

Lei Jun looked at Yuan Chang at this time. Old.

The other party was as gentle as ever, not minding at all, and his eyes showed encouragement.

But the light ball in Lei Jun's mind suddenly flashed again, and words appeared:

【The foundation is small, and there is another fork in the road. You can choose to continue to fly high or rise and fall. It all depends on your heart. 】

Lei Jun agreed with this.

Life is mostly like this.

If you take the right step in the previous step, you will take off, but the next step may be empty.

It takes continuous correct choices for destiny to really take off.

After the light ball flashed, two sticks flew out this time and appeared in Lei Jun's sea of ​​consciousness:

【Middle-upper stick, down-to-earth, choose the famous teacher in front of you, and get four Enjoy the opportunity, seize the chance, concentrate on practicing, accumulate a lot, but the cause and effect are entangled, the future needs to be cautious, auspicious. 】

[Middle-lower sign, have lofty ambitions, strive for the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, but the road is bumpy, bad luck. 】

Lei Jun was surprised.

The fortune is as vague as the previous times, but combined with the real situation and the current situation, it is clear at a glance.

Middle-upper sign, choose a suitable master... The subtext is that the best may not be the most suitable?

Middle-lower sign, mirror flowers and water moons... So, you can't be taught by the Heavenly Master, and even the next step is very bumpy.

... Could it be that the contemporary Heavenly Master, a great Taoist master, is about to collapse or be unlucky?
