Asking about longevity

Having said that, he is still just an ordinary disciple of Taixu, so it is better to practice quietly.

But this is best.

Master taught me that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

The rafters that stand out will rot first.

Making a fortune in silence, cultivating in a low-key manner, and improving yourself are the best choices.

The next day, I drew ink on the Taoist monument and practiced formations all night. Then I got up early and went to class in high spirits.

The Taixu Order shows that his first class was a training class.

The person taking the spiritual training class was an elder from the inner sect, with gorgeous robes and high moral character.

But since it was only the first class, he didn't say much. He only talked about the content of the practice class in a few words.

"Cultivation is the foundation of a monk."

"All Taoist methods are based on cultivation, and the alchemy and talisman tools are also based on cultivation as the foundation of their quality."

"Only when your cultivation level breaks through and your realm improves, can you transcend the categories of cultivation and advance one level at a time."

"So, cultivation is the stage of seeking immortality and seeking enlightenment."

"For the children of aristocratic families, refining Qi is only the beginning, and building the foundation is the beginning. Only with a solid foundation and strong spiritual power can we forge a high-grade golden elixir..."

"Only with high-grade golden elixir can we ascend to a higher level of the avenue..."

"Step by step, the more solid the foundation, the farther you will go in the future..."

"It's still early for you to form pills. It's good to know a little bit. You are only in the early stage of foundation building now. The most urgent task is to be down-to-earth and take the road of foundation building well..."

"All kinds of roads lead to the same destination. Most of you are children of aristocratic families, with different backgrounds and different techniques. However, there are some common techniques that you still need to learn carefully."

"How to make spiritual power pure, how to make the universe perfect, how to make the foundation of Tao stable..."

"How to practice foundation building without making mistakes, without damaging the meridians, without damaging the sea of ​​qi..."

"How to improve your cultivation level steadily and quickly..."

"How to get rid of some bad habits in cultivation, how to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and calm down the Taoist mind. What should I do if there are signs of going crazy?"

…

"These are the extremely valuable insights and experiences accumulated by countless ancestors of our Taixu Sect over thousands of years, who have worked hard and studied hard."

"In the following lessons, I will teach you bit by bit..."

"No matter where you were before, or what kind of inheritance you have, after learning the cultivation courses, your horizons of cultivation will be broadened, and you will have a clearer understanding of the path of cultivation in the future..."

"Next, let me briefly explain how to build a foundation..."

"For Qi Refining Monks, spiritual power is a refined gas. When it reaches the foundation-building stage, its spiritual power changes in quality and becomes as condensed as mercury..."

"Spiritual power like mercury needs to be further purified, refined, condensed, and finally crystallized, and finally turned into the golden elixir of life..."

"This cannot be achieved overnight. It requires years of practice and perseverance..."

"In addition, building foundation spiritual power also requires purifying blood energy, strengthening meridians, and expanding the sea of ​​energy..."

"In the past, this was called 'cleansing the tendons and cutting the marrow', but now that the techniques are iterative and gradually evolved, there is no such obvious effect..."

"Today's exercises, after generations of improvements, pay more attention to warmth and cultivation, step by step, which also reduces the probability of mistakes in practice and going crazy..."

…

The elders of the inner sect are knowledgeable, calm and talk eloquently.

Mo Hua listened carefully and benefited a lot.

Ever since he established the foundation, he had been practicing by himself according to the Tianyan Jue. Anyway, as long as he absorbed the spiritual stones, his spiritual power would increase.

He had no idea that there were so many details to pay attention to in practice.

In order to form elixirs, and even reach higher realms later on, we must "look far ahead", take steps step by step, and practice in a planned way...

Although the elder didn't say much, Mo Hua was still very shocked after hearing it.

This is the inheritance of a large sect!

This is the condensed experience of thousands of years and countless generations of senior monks from the Taixu Sect!

However, ink painting also has some difficulties.

This elder seems to be talking about how those monks who have forged the foundation of "spiritual power" and "blood energy" can purify blood, refine spiritual power, and perfect the foundation of the path to go further.

And I am the enlightenment of divine consciousness...

Regarding spiritual matters, the elder did not mention a word...

However, my spiritual power is meager and my blood is weak. I have never polished my realm or consolidated my foundation. I just got up by fooling around...

It is far from the way of practice described by the elders.

Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

It seems that I can only learn it first and then study it carefully when I have time...

Anyway, I just started, so I still have plenty of time.

In the days that followed, I practiced ink painting, drew formations, and took classes...

But a few days later, Mo Hua suddenly realized a problem:

I am still very new to Taixu Sect and don’t know much about it.

This is not good…

In the next few years, or even decades, I will have to hang out in Taixu Sect, and I must be familiar with the environment of Taixu Sect.

This is the foundation of a monster hunter.

When you arrive in a strange place, you must first familiarize yourself with the environment.

When he entered Dahei Mountain for the first time, his father Mo Shan took him with him. He traveled all over the outer mountains and inner mountains, and became familiar with the mountain topography, traces of monsters, and the locations of herbs and ores...

Only then can he prosper in Daheishan.

Although Taixu Sect is not the Great Black Mountain, and the elders and disciples are not monsters, the principles behind it are the same.

Sharpening the knife will not make you a chopping wood.

Mo Hua decided to study and find out the Taixu Gate first.

Only in this way can we continue to "muddle"...

Because he had just started, he didn’t have much schoolwork and plenty of free time, so Mo Hua started walking around Taixu Gate with his little hands behind his back...

Then he followed up with Guan Xu and other senior brothers and sisters to inquire.

Because he is cute and sweet, speaks nicely, and asks questions that new disciples don’t know and are indeed curious about, so he can basically ask anything he wants to ask.

It took a month for Mo Hua to have a general understanding of Taixu Sect.

The first is the environment.

Taixu Gate is located in the ancient and majestic Taixu Mountain.

In the middle is a long jade staircase that connects the inner and outer mountains.

In front is the outer mountain and behind is the inner mountain.

The mountain outside Taixu Gate is for outer disciples, external teachers, and guest elders to live and practice.

Apart from that, there is a large dojo in the middle.

On the right side of the dojo is the disciple residence.

On the left side is the preaching pavilion for disciples to attend classes, and there are also missionary buildings such as the weapon refining pavilion, the alchemy pavilion, the talisman refining pavilion, and the Tao method pavilion for the disciples to practice Taoism and practice Taoism.

And Mo Hua looked at it with envy, but he didn't have permission and couldn't get in for the time being. It was a library that collected monastic classics, especially various formations.

Behind the outer mountain is the inner mountain.

In the inner mountain there are the residence of the leader, the residence of the elders, the residence of the inner disciples, and some missionary buildings.

And behind the inner mountain, there is the back mountain.

The back mountain is a forbidden area, and I don’t know what is hidden inside.

Mo Hua was an outer disciple and couldn't even go to the inner mountain, let alone the back mountain. They were probably either old monsters or ancestors, so he didn't ask much about it.

As for Taixu Gate, there is also a famous formation called:

"Taixu Hunyuan Mountain Protection Formation"!

This formation exceeded Mo Hua's expectations. It was a fifth-grade formation!

The fifth-grade state boundary, the fifth-grade formation constructed...

Having constructed a large array of ink paintings with my own hands, I was shocked and even a little bit unbelievable.

What level of grand formation master can this be?

He wanted to find out more, but he also heard that this grand formation had not been used for tens of thousands of years. He didn't know if it could be used, and he didn't know if it really had a fifth grade, so most of the disciples had almost forgotten about it... …

Some people even say that the Taixu Sect's fifth-grade formation is fake and spread through false rumors. In fact, it is only the third and fourth-grade formations...

Mo Hua didn't believe it. He wanted to verify it himself, so he went to the edge of the sect to poach someone.

It's a pity that it can't be dug out, and even the calculation with divine consciousness can't find any traces...

A large formation of this level, from the materials used for the formation base to the construction of the formation patterns, has completely exceeded Mo Hua's cultivation and formation knowledge.

It can't be pried, and it can't be calculated.

But Mo Hua is not discouraged.

"When your cultivation level reaches a high level in the future, you must return to the sect to pry the walls to see if there really is a fifth-grade formation!"

Mo Hua nodded and silently made a "great wish" in his heart.

In addition to this, there is also the issue of internal and external doors.

Back in Tongxian City, Tongxian Sect was also divided into inner and outer sects, but that kind of division in a small place was somewhat different from the fifth-grade sects like Taixu Sect in Qianxue Prefecture.

There are some differences from what Mo Hua understood before.

He is now an outer disciple.

In the early stage of foundation building, all new disciples are counted as outer disciples.

After cultivating the golden elixir, you can complete the course.

After graduation, you can choose to leave the sect and return to your family, or go to other forces to make a living and seek a longer-term path.

You can also choose to stay in the sect, pass the assessment, and enter the inner sect.

The outer door is opened to accept disciples and earn money for cultivation.

The inner sect is those who stay in the sect to teach, manage the sect, and preach and teach.

Most of the disciples of the inner sect have to serve as "teachers".

The "teacher" of Taixu Sect is a position, which refers to the monk responsible for preaching and teaching. He can be an inner disciple of the Golden Core Stage, an elder, or even the head of the sect.

And teaching is also divided into two categories.

One type is those who are hired from outside, who live in the outer gate, are at the Golden Core stage or above, or even the Ascension stage, who are hired from outside to teach, or are guest elders.

These people do not belong to the inner sect, but are only employed to teach.

The other category is the disciples who join the inner sect and receive the inheritance of the inner sect, as well as the elders who are promoted by the disciples.

The disciples and elders of the inner sect are divided into ordinary and true disciples.

Ordinary disciples of the inner sect become apprentices to ordinary elders and learn the important inheritance of the sect.

Only the true disciples of the inner sect who become disciples of the true elders will be allowed to learn the true core of the Zhen sect's inheritance.

These are also two paths for advancement.

Ordinary disciples, as their cultivation improves, are promoted to ordinary elders.

A true disciple who has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation and is promoted to a true elder.

The core positions of the sect, including deputy head and head, will only be selected from the true elders.

Ordinary disciples, ordinary elders;

True disciples, true elders, and even deputy heads and heads.

These are two seemingly similar but distinct paths to advancement.

Mo Hua's little mind wandered around for a long time before he could clearly distinguish between the inner sect and the outer sect, the external tutors and the inner sect tutors, the guest elders and the inner sect elders, the ordinary disciples of the inner sect and the true disciples, the ordinary elders of the inner sect and the true elders. …

"Even the sect has distinct and complicated hierarchies..."

Mo Hua sighed.

After understanding this clearly, Mo Hua understood the identity of the senior monk who was now serving as a "teacher" and teaching him.

Some important courses, similar to spiritual training courses, are very important and are taught by the elders of the inner sect personally.

The person who teaches the ink painting practice class, whose surname is Gongsun, is an Ascension Realm of the Taixu Sect and an elder of the Inner Sect!

Occasionally there is a Jindan teacher who takes over the class.

This Jindanqi teacher is a direct disciple of Elder Gongsun and a true disciple of the inner sect.

But other courses, which focus on monastic skills, are not so rigorous.

For example, the person who teaches talisman refining is an external Jindan instructor;

The one who teaches alchemy is an elder from the Ascension Realm;

Those who teach weapon refining are ordinary elders from the inner sect;

There are also those who teach gossip, history books, and even some external teachers who are not high in cultivation, but have traveled abroad all year round and are well-informed. Although they are old, they only have Jindan as an external teacher.

If you don't understand this, you have no idea who is standing in the preaching room and lecturing for you.

Even if you understand these things, sometimes you don’t even recognize them.

What Mo Hua couldn't understand the most was the "old elder" mentioned by Senior Brother Shangguan Xu.

"The person who teaches the formation is very senior, has a weird temper, and is extremely strict. He can't tolerate a grain of salt in his eyes, let alone any sloppiness among his disciples..."

This old elder is respectfully called "Mr. Xun" by his disciples.

The Taixu Sect Taoist robe worn by Mr.

He is old, his blood is weak, his breath is weak, and his cultivation is not very high.

The only impression I have is really "old".

His face is full of wrinkles and a little rickety, and his hair and beard are all white. Only his eyes are stern, showing stubbornness and severity.

More severe than strict teaching.

Mr. Xun taught ink painting formations.

When I took Mr. Xun's ink painting class, he was very serious at first and sat upright.

But after a few times, I became a little slack.

Because he discovered that the formation introductory course in the early stages of Taixu Sect's foundation building only taught first-grade formations...

In the early stage of foundation building, learning the first-level formation is considered quite satisfactory.

What's more, some disciples are not good at formations. If you teach them first-grade formations, which are even somewhat "super-class", they will have a hard time learning them.

But learning ink painting is very boring...

He was already familiar with these things.

Mr. Xun's voice is hoarse and serious, and he attaches great importance to the basics of formations:

"Formation, it pays attention to the basics. If the foundation is not strong, rashly learning more difficult formations is nothing more than a rootless vine without its own foundation."

"Any basic formation must be firmly memorized, drawn thousands of times, and refined over time to improve the formation attainments..."

Mo Hua thought it was right, but he had practiced these things before...

At the beginning, there were some new things in Mr.

But after all, it is only a first-class one, and the example used is also a universal five-element formation.

After listening to Mo Hua once or twice, he understood it roughly, and after that, it was just boring repetition.

Ink painting is a bit slack.

He had nothing to do and had nothing to do. During class, he could only learn his own things.

On the surface, I am listening to the lectures, but in fact I am calculating in my mind and copying the second-grade formations. I occasionally preview the more difficult formation courses in advance to see if there is any formation knowledge that I have not learned before.

But calculations consume a lot of spiritual consciousness.

During the ink painting class that day, I was calculating and calculating, but if I didn't pay attention, my spiritual consciousness would be exhausted.

Because he was in class and couldn't meditate and regain his consciousness, he felt that his consciousness was a little sleepy and his upper and lower eyelids couldn't stop fighting.

Mo Hua could only endure it forcefully.

But at this time, Mr. Xun's boring and rigid voice echoed in his ears again, hypnotically.

"Formation, pay attention to the foundation, the foundation is not strong..."

Unknowingly, Mo Hua quietly fell asleep with his little head drooped.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the room was very quiet.

It was even eerily quiet.

Mo Hua looked up and found that, sure enough, Mr. Xun was standing in front of him with a serious face, obviously restraining his anger.

Mo Hua felt a little guilty.

Mr. Xun did not blame him first, but just followed the usual saying:

"Go up there and draw the formation I just mentioned."

Give him a chance.

It's okay if you can draw it, but if you can't draw it, you're in bad luck...

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s easier to draw the formation...

In front of the formation room, there is a large formation plate. Mr. Xun will draw the formation on the formation plate and explain its principles at the same time.

Mo Hua respectfully walked to the array, picked up the pen, looked up, and was suddenly startled.

He was a little nervous just now and forgot to look. When he raised his head, he realized that there were four formations on the formation disk.

"Draw out the formation that I just mentioned..."

What formation did Mr. Xun just talk about?

Mo Hua dozed off, how could he know...

Mo Hua held the pen, a little hesitant, and could only stand stupidly.

The disciples below were also worried for him and lowered their voices:

"Ruined……"

"He dared to doze off in Mr. Xun's class..."

"He can't draw, so he's in bad luck..."

"No, I'm getting nervous just looking at it..."

"Oops, I was distracted just now...Mr. Xun may have discovered it, and he won't click on me next...Cheng family ancestor, please don't click on me, I can't do it either..."

…

Mo Hua was still hesitating, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Is this... Mr. Xun’s spiritual thought?

Mo Hua was startled and his heart skipped a beat.

It’s over, Mr. Xun is really angry...

"Forget it, let's keep it a secret..."

Ink Hua closed his eyes and picked the most difficult one. With a move of his little hand, the brush strokes were three times five times divided by two, and the painting was completed...

After finishing the painting, the preaching room instantly became quiet...

The coolness on the back of the ink painting has also faded a bit.

"You were right..."

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the whispers started again, and the disciples whispered again:

"just……"

"His little hands were swiping so hard that I didn't even see him clearly..."

"Drawing so fast!"

"Why is he so skilled..."

"...But maybe he drew the wrong one, it wasn't that one..."

Mo Hua's consciousness was sharp and he could hear clearly, and he complained in his heart:

"It's not this one, but tell me which one it is!"

Mo Hua had no choice but to look at the other three formations. He felt the chill on his back getting a little heavier, and knew that Mr. Xun was getting angry again.

Don’t stop doing it!

Another random part of the ink painting was covered, and within a few strokes, it was finished again.

The mission room was quieter.

You can hear the needle drop.

Before Mo Hua could relax, another disciple whispered:

"Faster..."

"Is this the hand speed that a foundation-building monk can have..."

"Did he grow up eating formation diagrams?"

"Which family of monks are they from? The formations are drawn quickly and well. The Ming family? Or the Zheng family?..."

"Envy, it would be great if you could lend me these hands to draw formations..."

…

"But that's not what Mr. Xun said..."

Mo Hua took a breath silently.

Not yet? !

He felt helpless and started to get a little angry.

Not yet! !

Then I won’t be fooled anymore, I’ll draw them all!

With all four drawn, there must be nothing wrong!

With a wave of his small ink-painting hand, an afterimage appeared on his wrist. The brush strokes were like wind, moving like clouds, and flowing like water. In less than a moment, he had finished painting the other two formations...

This time, the preaching room was even more deathly silent.

The disciples below all opened their mouths and were speechless. They looked at Mo Hua as if they were looking at a "formation little monster" wearing human skin...

After finishing the four formations, Mo Hua put the pen aside, lowered his head, and stood aside obediently.

Mr. Xun's eyes were cloudy, and he looked at the ink paintings. He was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he said in a stern voice, but with a hint of trembling:

"Even if you have some talent, you must not be arrogant or conceited, let alone complacent and slack..."

"This will never happen again!"

Although the tone was stern, he said, "This will not happen again."

Knowing that he had escaped disaster, Mo Hua breathed a long sigh of relief and said respectfully:

"The old gentleman teaches, disciples should remember it!"

Mr. Xun nodded slightly and said, "That's it for today's class. Please leave."

The other disciples also stood up one after another as if they had been pardoned, and saluted respectfully: "Disciple, please leave!" Then they quietly left the preaching room.

Mo Hua also blended in with the crowd and slipped away.

Mr. Xun said nothing.

It wasn't until all the disciples left that he looked at the formation plate. The ink brush quickly drew the four first-class formations that were strict and flawless.

Mr. Xun's cloudy eyes opened slightly, revealing a glimmer of light.
