Chapter 288: Golden Elixir Ceremony, Congratulations from All Directions
Half a month later, the sky was clear and crisp, with white clouds and a cool breeze, making it a pleasant sight.
After finishing morning classes, Shi Xuan was drinking tea and sitting in his cave, calm and relaxed. Across from him, Ming Qingyue looked at him with a smile and chatted casually. She came to Shi Xuan's cave early in the morning. Sending the first congratulations on today’s Shixuan Golden Elixir Ceremony.
"Qingyue, you said you are about to break through to the second level of the divine soul stage?" Shi Xuan asked while taking a sip of tea. Wei Wei was surprised that Ming Qingyue found an opportunity to unite her soul and soul not long after she came out of seclusion. Somewhat surprised.
Ming Qingyue was in sight of a breakthrough in her cultivation. She was in a good mood and said with a spring breeze on her face: "Although I have been in retreat for a period of time to eliminate the sequelae of stimulating blood vessels, I have persisted in my practice and have reached a bottleneck long ago. Until that day when I see Shi Xuan, you Showing the breath of creation, I suddenly realized something. After thinking about it over and over in the past few days, I finally touched the threshold of the union of soul and soul. "
After finishing speaking, he said slightly coquettishly: "If I continue to stand still and wait until your disciple achieves the high-grade golden elixir, I will not look good." Of course, these are just jokes. Ming Qingyue knows her own family affairs. She is of half-dragon bloodline, so her training starts very quickly, but the further she goes, the more difficult it becomes, and she is often troubled by her bloodline, especially when it comes to achieving Yuan Shen.
This can be regarded as a shortcoming of having a longevity several times that of monks of the same level. However, Ming Qingyue's Taoist heart is firm and pure, and she only looks at the avenue of Yuanshen, without any rush or delay. Once she overcomes this obstacle, she will be no different from other monks in the future.
Speaking of Chu Wan'er, Chu Wan'er rushed in, followed by Qingchen's monkey. Chu Wan'er blushed and said: "Master, why hasn't the sect sent someone to invite you over? The Golden Elixir Ceremony is about to begin. Come on!" One person and one monkey came in and out, so excited just to see the sect invite Shi Xuan, today's protagonist.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "It's still early, girl, why are you in such a hurry? You have to wait until all the guests are seated before any fellow disciples come to invite me to be my teacher."
In these days, the monks sent by the major sects to participate in the Shixuan Golden Elixir Ceremony, the heads and elders of other small and medium-sized sects, the casual cultivators of the Golden Elixir Grandmaster, and the soul masters all moved into Kaiyang Peak one after another, including those from the Netherworld Sect. The King of Samsara, Qiao Mubai of the Luofu Sect, Dong Mingzi of the Yingzhou Sect, Yi Zhi of the Guanghan Sect, Song Wenyao of the Tianhuo Sect, Xu Yu of the Medicine King Sect, Gao Huo of the Blood Demon Sect, Cheng Buyou of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and so on.
Different from Shen Xianyun’s Golden Elixir Ceremony last time, this time from various sects and prestigious forces, those who came were either high-grade Golden Elixir masters or the ones with the highest level of cultivation in their own forces. Gai Yin Shi Xuan was If you achieve a top-grade golden elixir, you will have hope for the soul in the future. Whether you are an enemy or a friend, whether you are spying on someone or forming a good relationship, you cannot ignore it.
However, according to the rules of the Golden Elixir Ceremony, these monks will not visit Shi Xuan before the Golden Elixir Ceremony.
Chu Wan'er pouted and said, "But this disciple is so impatient to wait." It was as if she had achieved the golden elixir. However, since Shi Xuan came to the Penglai sect and got along with the disciples of the Yigan Penglai sect, she gradually lost some of her innocence. After all, in the past, she was either alone in the empty mountain or playing with children. Only now did she feel the growth of her mind. . This is especially true. It will probably take thirty or forty years for her to temper her mind and accumulate it deeply, then she will have the opportunity to attack the high-grade golden elixir.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ao Gu's voice was heard outside the door. It seemed that a guest was coming. Chu Wan'er immediately greeted him happily, and the monkey Qingchen followed behind and ran happily.
Unfortunately, what disappointed Chu Wan'er was that it was still not the person sent by Penglai to invite Shi Xuan. Instead, it was another monk who came to congratulate him, and he was an acquaintance of Shi Xuan.
For the elders and disciples of the Penglai Sect, except for those who have duties in the Golden Elixir Ceremony, only the Golden Elixir Grandmaster who congratulates the sect can appear at the Golden Elixir Ceremony, so the monks who are familiar with Shi Xuan , they all came to congratulate them these days. For example, Ming Qingyue chose to be the first one to come this morning.
"Sister Dielan, is that you?" Ming Qingyue's eyes lit up. In caves, there are usually formations to suppress spiritual consciousness, so Ming Qingyue didn't find out until Zhou Dielan came in.
Zhou Dielan was dressed in a plain white robe, and her face was as before, like a timid little flower. When she saw Ming Qingyue, she was also inexplicably surprised, but she still smiled and said to Shi Xuan: "Dielan is here to congratulate Brother Shi on his achievement of top rank. Golden elixir." She has been stuck in Qi-enhancing perfection these years, so she is reluctant to return to the sect. Shi Xuan has been busy since he went out to find opportunities for the golden elixir, so he has not seen her for several years.
Shi Xuan chuckled and said: "Die Lan, I would be very satisfied if you could make a special trip to say congratulations."
After the congratulations, Ming Qingyue grabbed Zhou Dielan and chatted excitedly. She hadn't seen her friend in a while. After talking for a few words, she said with some unfinished thoughts: "It's a pity that Ruoshui is not here, otherwise We have a happy gathering."
When Zhou Dielan heard this, she sighed quietly: "Sister Yu's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and her soul and soul are 80% to 90% combined. It's not like me..." But it aroused her depressed thoughts.
Shi Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I remember when I met Qingyue in Tidal Square, she told me a lesson about not being hasty or slow, and I still use it a lot."
After starting, he repeated what Ming Qingyue said exactly. In fact, Shi Xuan had told Zhou Dielan and Yu Ruoshui these principles intermittently over the years, but after speaking this time, Zhou Dielan understood The deepest point is that without others, some truths are difficult to understand and keep in mind without one's own personal experience.
Seeing Zhou Dielan thoughtfully, Shi Xuan took out a fragrant yellow tree fruit and handed it to Zhou Dielan: "Dielan, you are actually expected to advance to the divine soul for a long time, but you are worried in your heart, fearing that your lifespan is not enough, you will not be able to The breakthrough has just been stuck at this step. This tree fruit is produced by a tree demon that has spent tens of thousands of years. It can increase your life span by one year. After you take it, you should relax and it may be possible within three to five years. Breakthrough, brother, I would like to congratulate you in advance.”
In fact, Zhou Dielan's problem was not what Shi Xuan said. Initially, her character was not enough. Later, the longer she was stuck in this step, the less confident Zhou Dielan became. Shi Xuan deliberately led the reason to worry about insufficient longevity. I just hope that Zhou Dielan thinks that the flaw in her character lies in this. Once she takes the fruit, she can regain her confidence. If this is the case, with her accumulation, she can break through the soul stage in one step.
This is exactly the importance of "companion" in the land of wealthy couples in the world of cultivation. If you don't have like-minded friends and teachers who are good at teaching you, if you practice alone, once you go down the wrong path and have problems in your practice, you will If no one reminds you, no one helps you, it is very likely that you will be doomed. Of course, it is not impossible to practice alone and finally achieve the great truth, but that is just a special case, and it is beyond the reach of human beings.
Zhou Dielan was holding the fruit, crying and laughing at the same time. She didn't expect that she would get such a precious thing when she came to congratulate Shi Xuan. Her heart was so filled with gratitude that it was stuck in her throat for a moment.
At this time, Shi Xuan felt that Xie Fangwei had arrived outside the cave, so he stood up and motioned to Ming Qingyue to continue undressing Zhou Dielan. Ming Qingyue nodded knowingly.
Shi Xuan brought the excited Chu Wan'er and the monkey Qingchen to the outside of the cave. Xie Fangwei raised his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Junior Brother Shi is invited to attend the Golden Elixir Ceremony." Originally, according to the usual practice, Lingxing was the host, but considering that Lingxing was the elder Shi Xuan. It was inappropriate for him to congratulate on behalf of the sect, so he changed it to Xie Fangwei.
"Thank you, senior brother, for leading the way." Shi Xuan responded with the same smile. He turned his head and saw the monkey stretching out his fluffy hands, and he seemed to be cupping them in thanks. Suddenly, he had a bad taste and called out: "Qingchen."
The monkey head looked at Shi Xuan with confused eyes, and then heard his master smile and say: "From now on, you can change your name to Qingsuo."
The monkey immediately bared his teeth and firmly objected.
…………
Xie Fangwei was in front and Shi Xuan was behind. The two set up the white clouds and flew to the top of Tianshu Peak. Outside the Jietian Hall, there were already disciples dressed in the outer sect's official robes, lined up in two rows. However, the Penglai Sect's rituals always paid little attention to appearance, so there were no exotic flowers, exotic birds, or auspicious animals.
Shi Xuan and Xie Fangwei landed on the middle road and walked towards Jie Tian Palace. The disciples on both sides bowed and said, "Disciple, congratulate Master Shi for achieving the top grade golden elixir."
The congratulations of more than a hundred disciples shook the sky.
As soon as the congratulations stopped, nine long and clear bells rang slowly, spreading hundreds of miles around, which meant that someone in the sect had achieved the golden elixir.
Entering the Jietian Hall, there were still disciples lined up in two rows, but these were all inner disciples, eighteen in total. When they saw Shi Xuan coming in, they immediately saluted and said, "Disciple congratulates Master Shi for achieving the top-grade golden elixir."
Shi Xuan nodded in response. As soon as he walked past the eighteen disciples, he could clearly see the situation in the hall. Just like the Luofu Sect, there were two to three hundred green bamboo tables arranged in two rows. The only difference was that What is surprising is that the person sitting on the first seat on the left is the King of Samsara. This handsome purple-haired young man has been the master who has achieved the top-grade golden elixir for more than seventy years and is number one in the list of secrets. It is said that as soon as the Cangbang Dharma Assembly is completed four years later, He will advance to Yin Shen.
As Shi Xuan walked to the aisle between the desks, Xie Fangwei was the first to hand over his hand: "Congratulations to Junior Brother Shi for achieving a top-grade golden elixir."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the golden elixir masters and masters of the divine soul stage stood up one after another, including the reincarnation king with six colors in his eyes, Qiao Mubai with a white robe and ribbon, the unrestrained Dong Mingzi, Xu Yu with a plain skirt and national colors, Lou Yizhi, who was as cold as ice, Song Wenyao in scarlet robe, Gao Huo with bloody hair, and Cheng Buyou, who was smiling and chubby, all raised their hands and said: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Shi (senior) for achieving the top-grade golden elixir."
The voices of these golden elixir masters and divine soul masters echoed in the hall, their voices soft and solemn.
This is the embodiment of the status and strength of the top-grade golden elixir master.
Shi Xuan smiled and accepted the congratulations from all the golden elixir masters and masters of the divine soul stage. He slowly walked to the top of the hall, where there was a purple jade chair. Then he turned around and returned the greeting: "Shi Xuan thanked you fellow Taoists. Please sit down, everyone." ”
