Lonely Immortal

Nowadays, Zhang Zhiwen only has the Nine-fold Sword Intent Dao Root, which seems to be very different from the Nine-nine and Eighty-one Major Dao Dao Roots. And it seems that most powerful monks have two or three kinds of Dao Dao Roots. That does not necessarily mean they are not as good as He Zhang Zhiwen was shocked. At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen also realized that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world.

Sure enough, Gao Chang said again: "Do you know? I heard that the most powerful one is Shi Wuyin, the direct disciple of the current head of the Xianzhai Sect. It is said that she now has seventy-seventh level of Taoism, including both Buddhism and Taoism. Eighteenth level, sixteen levels of alchemy, magic and mysticism, beast control, Xuanmen, etc., adding up To reach the terrifying seventy-seventh level of Dao roots, I don’t know if it is unprecedented, but it is definitely almost unprecedented. This level of Dao roots can be said to be the first person to build a foundation, and the disciples of Xianzhai sect are not bad either. , there are many powerful characters, and when you think about it, the background of the top ten immortal sects is really terrifying..."

Zhang Zhiwen was very surprised by what Gao Chang said, but after listening to what Gao Chang said, Zhang Zhiwen finally understood it in general.

It turns out that the Dao roots are actually at the ninth level, such as swordsmanship. The nine-layer Dao roots are the highest. But monks can also practice other Dao methods, such as Dan Dao, Weapon Dao, etc. However, when monks go into battle, they can basically only use A kind of Tao root, such as Dan Tao or Qi Tao, but cultivating other Tao roots is not useless. On the contrary, it has a very great effect. For example, it can be used when fighting or refining alchemy and refining weapons. Because other Dao roots are cultivated, the more Dao roots there are, the stronger the power of Dao will is. This must be useful. For example, Zhang Zhiwen now has the ninth level. The Dao root of the sword, but if he meets a foundation-building monk like Shi Wuyin, Zhang Zhiwen's power of Dao will be far inferior to the opponent.

It can be seen that after foundation building, monks pay more attention to the improvement of Dao roots, because spiritual roots are almost impossible to improve. The higher the number of Dao roots, the more powerful the combat power will be. Regardless of whether it is Yang Linchen or Liu Suifeng , in fact, they are all Tao roots that cultivate both alchemy and weapons. Yang Linchen is more powerful, possessing the fourth level of alchemy and the fourth level of weapon. Liu Suifeng has the third level of alchemy and weapon. But to the outside world, it must be said that it is the fourth or third level. In fact, The truly strict term is the eight-fold path root and the six-fold path root.

Therefore, it can be seen from this how terrifying Shi Wuyin's seventy-seven-layered Dao roots are, and he is worthy of the title of the first person to build foundations.

"Hey, what if all the top ten immortal sects are squeezing their heads to get in? But whether you can get in depends on the situation of the Taoist Competition first. If you don't reach the strength of a middle-level sect, you won't have the chance to participate in the top ten sects. The Great Immortal Sect’s Heavenly Selection Competition, our Xuan Dan Sect is also going to participate in the Taoist Competition this time. The old man has become ruthless, and now he is immersed in seclusion to improve his cultivation. Once we break through to the level of Jindan, then our Xuandan Sect can participate in the Taoist Competition. Then both Lao Yang and this guy named Li will have the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Selection Competition. And I only have the third level of martial arts. The difference is too big, so the old man asked me to come here every day to listen to the lectures, hoping that I can practice one or two more levels of alchemy and weaponry, but I really can’t understand..."

Gao Chang complained again, which made Zhang Zhiwen understand more things. Then Gao Chang said: "Hey, but this Taoist competition is very important. Once our Xuan Dan Sect is successfully promoted, then all our foundation-building monks will I have the opportunity to participate in the Heavenly Selection Competition. Zhiwen, do you know why the top ten immortal sects are so powerful? Hey, it’s because of the powerful inheritance of Taoism. Take a look. , that Spirit Sword Sect, just the Taoism of the Sword Cultivator lineage makes people envious. As you know, the Taoist roots of monks are always divided into priorities. It is impossible to be powerful in everything, no matter how powerful it is like Master Wuyin. Of course, Xianzhai Sect is only good at Buddhism and so-so, so it’s very important to major in one discipline. If you think about me, majoring in martial arts, I won’t necessarily lose to this guy named Liu in a fight. …”

Gao Chang started talking endlessly again. It was obvious that this man liked chatting with people very much and had a bit of a businessman's taste. However, Zhang Zhiwen also got a lot of news from him that he had never gotten before. Only then did Zhang Zhiwen become more and more interested. It feels like he is really ignorant.

"But this is nothing. Look at this guy named Liu. He is thinking about the Xuandan Heart Sutra every day. In addition to the Xuandan Heart Sutra, there is also the Nine Heavens Green Sword Art, which is also a powerful Taoist method. It's just a pity that no one can practice it successfully. !”

Gao Chang suddenly changed his subject and mentioned the Nine Heavens Green Sword Art. Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but be quite surprised, and then deliberately asked: "Oh? Why is this? Is it possible that the Nine Heavens Green Sword Art also requires ancient blood to be practiced?"

"Haha, you are smart, that's right. In fact, whether it is the Nine Heavens Green Sword Art or the Mysterious Pill Heart Sutra, they are all Taoist methods handed down from ancient times. They require ancient blood to practice. We mortals can only think about it, but Liu's surname is He thinks about it every day, but I don’t know what he thinks about. By the way, you may not know, but it’s really The correct way is the Nine Ways. The way to control beasts actually belongs to outsiders. The golden elixir will be of little use in the future, and monks can only reach the ninety-nine and eighty-first level of Taoism. So in addition to the Nine Heavens Green Sword Jue and the Xuandan Heart Sutra, , In fact, other Taoist methods have been passed down from ancient times, but no one can practice them successfully nowadays!"

Gao Chang taught Zhang Zhiwen another lesson. Only then did Zhang Zhiwen know that there were nine ancient Taoist methods, which had also been passed down. What surprised Zhang Zhiwen the most was that the Nine Heavens Green Sword Technique actually required ancient blood to be practiced, but He, Zhang Zhiwen, has succeeded in cultivation. Could it be said that he, Zhang Zhiwen, is of ancient blood?

But Zhang Zhiwen felt that this was absolutely impossible. He was just a mortal. This was very certain. Could it be because he had practiced the Sutra of Immortality? This may be possible, and the Immortality Sutra may be the ancient Taoism that inspired the ancient bloodline? This is possible again!

"But it is a pity that the Taoism of each of the ten major immortal sects is not considered ancient Taoism, and many ancient Taoisms have been lost, because many sects that inherit ancient Taoism have disappeared. I think your Qingxuan Sect is better than our Xuandan Sect in this regard. It’s more clear, but it is said that the Jindan Sect, a big miscellaneous sect, has the inheritance of ancient Taoism. This big miscellaneous sect In fact, the alchemy level of the Zasui Sect is not much different from that of our Xuandan Sect. I even think that the alchemy level of our Xuandan Sect is better than theirs. However, this big Zasui Sect seems to have hidden all the major ancient Taoist methods. Of course, it is probably not easy to hide them. It’s useless, it’s just that it has money, and I can get cheats everywhere, and there are all kinds of cheats…”

As Gao Chang was talking, he actually mentioned the Jindan Sect again, and the Jindan Sect was obviously a bad sect in Gao Chang's eyes, but it was true that he had money, anyway, he would be willful if he had money, and there were messy secrets that others did not collect. , its golden elixir gate If they all have it, then they may have collected ancient Taoism. Nowadays, except for Jiutian Qingjianjue and Xuandan Heart Sutra, other ancient Taoism have been lost, and no one cares about it. This makes Zhang Zhiwen feel a little worried. Moved.

But at this time, Liu Suifeng had already started refining the Fa Yuan Dan, and he gave Gao Chang a special look, obviously telling Gao Chang to shut up and stop nagging everyone to listen to the lecture. Naturally, Gao Chang had nothing to do. He had no choice but to shut up for now, but he couldn't help but mutter: "Tsk, I speak very quietly, okay? It won't affect everyone..."

After he said this, he did not forget to look around, but the fellow disciples and fellow disciples around him were suddenly embarrassed. It was hard to blame Gao Chang. They just avoided Gao Chang with expressions of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Now Gao Chang realized what was going on. Yes, shut up quickly.

Obviously, this guy's voice is not quiet, but everyone knows what he said, it is not unusual, and Gao Chang is the son of the head of the family, no one dares to do anything to him, but Liu Suifeng is obviously quite harsh on him Yes, this should have something to do with the leader’s special explanation.

However, Zhang Zhiwen generally has a very comprehensive understanding of the Dao roots of foundation-building monks. Obviously, after foundation building, the improvement of Dao roots is extremely important. For example, Liu Suifeng said at this moment: "The refining of Fayuan Dan It requires the power of the Dao of Alchemy, otherwise it will not be possible to produce flames above the level of spiritual fire. It's impossible to use ordinary fire, at least you can't refine elixirs, and spiritual fire contains Taoist intention. To maintain spiritual fire, you need the blessing of the power of Taoist intention. The stronger the Taoist root, the longer it lasts, and the longer it goes, the more powerful it will be. Finally, the more this is the case, then does it seem that this cultivation level is useless? But in fact it is not the case..."

Liu Suifeng began to refine the elixir while explaining that his refining of the elixir was completely different from Zhang Zhiwen's refining of the elixir. Liu Suifeng purified the medicinal materials first, and then he took out the medicinal materials and refined them with real fire. Drop by drop of medicinal essence slowly entered the alchemy furnace. Zhang Zhiwen really didn't know this. , but at this time Liu Suifeng mentioned the matter of cultivation again. Zhang Zhiwen actually didn’t have a deep understanding of the relationship between cultivation and Tao roots. He just felt that cultivation must be improved. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Tao roots are, the cultivation level will be very low. If so, I'm afraid he won't be a match for a high-level monk. For example, he can't beat the dog Taoist Ling Fei now.

But Liu Suifeng's words made Zhang Zhiwen deepen his understanding of foundation-building cultivation. Even Liu Suifeng's words were directly related to the monk's understanding of each stage of cultivation.

At this moment, Liu Suifeng said: "Cultivation is like a big pond. Whether this big pond leaks or can quickly accumulate water depends on spiritual roots. Whether there is a lot of water in the big pond depends on cultivation. For high and low, that way What are roots? Daogen is the vegetables in the vegetable field. If you want the vegetables in the vegetable field to grow better, the water in the pond must be as clear as possible, otherwise there will be no enough water. How much water do you need to water the vegetable fields?”

Liu Suifeng's words immediately shocked Zhang Zhiwen, because Zhang Zhiwen had always regarded cultivation and Taoism as two separate things, which was actually wrong. Although he vaguely felt that when the cultivation level was too low, the meaning of the Ninefold Sword Dao was only Being able to send out a nine-day killing move with a sword is actually because the cultivation level is too low and the water in the pool is too little. If you want to improve your Dao roots, you will definitely need a lot of effort. The water in the pond means that the cultivation level must be improved accordingly to cultivate more Dao roots and stronger Dao power. Liu Suifeng compared it to watering the vegetable field. In fact, Zhang Zhiwen felt that it should be from the large pond. Lotus flowers are more like Dao roots. Whether there are many lotus flowers and whether they grow well or not depends entirely on whether the water in the big pond is large enough and deep. This is the relationship between cultivation and Dao roots.

If Zhang Zhiwen wants to improve more Dao roots, he must improve his cultivation, otherwise he will not be able to carry more Dao roots!

"So, a small cultivation base can accommodate up to nine levels of Dao roots. Of course, some monks may not be able to use too many Dao roots in their lifetime, and they can't even touch one level of Dao roots. There is naturally nothing to say, but if there are many Dao roots Yes, the cultivation level must increase, otherwise it will be difficult to increase the Dao roots. We are building the ninth level of foundation, which means that we can cultivate at most ninety-nine and eighty-one levels of Dao roots. I am afraid Liu will have no chance in this life. well……"

Liu Suifeng was quite emotional while refining the elixir. It was obvious that the foundation-building cultivators attached great importance to the improvement of their Dao roots. At this moment, other foundation-building cultivators in the same sect also seemed to agree with Liu Suifeng's statement. Even Gao Chang just curled his lips to express his disapproval of Liu Suifeng's rather narcissistic statement, but he had no opinion on what he said.
