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 young 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 a good eye.
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 and could even be called indifferent, changed her expression for the first time. She frowned and looked Lei Jun up and down again. Her expression did not look like 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: When I first saw my 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 adolescence, a period of prime age 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 twilight years.
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 the cultivation level started 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 and 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 after entering, his cultivation level continued to improve, making rapid progress, 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 might 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 head of the family, 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 of awakening the Qianlong spirit body now.
In other words, without the hidden dragon spirit body, the chance is actually very small... Lei Jun is not surprised by this conclusion.
The chance that was originally very small all depended on Xu Yuanzhen's face and Tianshi's own thoughts.
After all, the meaning of personal transmission from the Heavenly Master is different.
Not to mention that Tianshi himself is the number one expert in Longhu Mountain and one of the countless giants in Taoism in the world. He personally teaches his disciples, which is unmatched by other elders.
The treatment in other aspects is not comparable to that of 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 given priority to be opened to the Tianshi personally.
For example, the fairyland shrouded in green thunder on the top of Longhu Mountain is called Shangqing Leifu Cave.
The Li family's children have become more high-profile in recent years and are still not allowed to enter without permission.
But the disciples of the Heavenly Master can.
Some people may think this arrangement is unfair.
However, the direct descendants of the Celestial Master have always been among the best among their peers in the mansion.
Looking at the world, he is still a genius among geniuses.
The objects of comparison are the leading figures of their generation from other major aristocratic families and holy places.
It’s no wonder that good steel goes into the blade.
Lei Jun had been mediocre before, so it would be very 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 Elder Yuan at this time.
The other party was as gentle as before, not minding at all, and his eyes showed encouragement.
But the light ball in Lei Jun's mind suddenly flashed again, and words appeared:
[With a small foundation, you will encounter forks in life and make choices again. You may continue to fly high, or you may rise and fall, but stay focused on it. 】
Lei Jun agreed.
Most of life is like this.
If you take the right step one step, you may be about to take off, but you may miss the next step.
It takes continuous correct choices for destiny to truly take hold.
After the light ball flashed, two sticks flew out this time and appeared in Lei Jun's sea of consciousness:
[Win the lottery, be down-to-earth, choose the famous teacher in front of you, and get the opportunity of the fourth grade. Seize the opportunity, concentrate on practice, accumulate a lot, but the cause and effect are entangled, you need to be cautious in the future, good luck. 】
[If you win the lottery, you have high aspirations and strive for the chance to reach the sky in one step. However, the road is bumpy and fierce. 】
Lei Jun was surprised.
The fortune-telling was as vague as the previous times, but combined with the real situation and current situation, it became clear at a glance.
Winning the lottery, choosing a suitable famous teacher... The one with the best subtext may not be the most suitable?
If you win the lottery, everything will be like a mirror... So, if you can't become a direct disciple of the Heavenly Master, it will even be very bumpy in the future.
... Could it be that the contemporary Celestial Master, a majestic Taoist giant, is about to collapse or is unlucky?
