Chapter 400 It’s like a shadow from yesterday
Guarding the Tianya Haijiao Tower was very leisurely, so no one came to bother Shi Xuan for many days, allowing Shi Xuan to practice immortal arts and study the Zhoutian Xingdou swordsmanship with peace of mind.
The second floor of the Tianya Haijiao Tower was dark, but there were countless bright stars shining above, as if people were in the starry sky, but this spectacular scene only lasted for a few moments before it collapsed, revealing a scene with only two bookshelves.
"The Zhoutian Xingdou swordsmanship is indeed difficult to practice. Even if you only use the 'Purple Star Advent' and some sword moves to set up the 'Small Zhoutian Xingdou Array', it will not be practiced in a moment. It takes at least a hundred years of hard work. This is after I have been practicing the 'Zhoutian Xingdou Swordsmanship' and condensed the sword intent." Shi Xuan put away the Four Symbols Destroying World Sword and sighed in his heart.
With Shi Xuan's current cultivation and swordsmanship, it only took him a few days to master all the separate sword moves in "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Swordsmanship". However, Shi Xuan only had a clue about the swordsmanship of laying out many formations in one sword and combining them into a large formation. Even the simplified version of "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation" "Small Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation" would take one or two hundred years to master. The complete "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation" can only be successfully practiced after the Tian Ren Stage can create a small world.
Of course, some of the sword moves in "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Swordsmanship" are indeed quite profound. Not to mention the general outline of the swordsmanship "Bei Dou Zhi Lu", the swordsmanship of the Yin Shen Stage "Shou Xing Gao Zhao" alone has the ability to reduce people's life span, but it is a bit useless when it comes to the Yuan Shen Stage.
At this time, Shi Xuan felt that a disciple who had just entered the Qi Induction Stage and had not yet absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body was coming to the Tianya Haijiao Tower, so he suspended the arrangement of practicing other immortal arts. Given his current situation, he was afraid that he was here to choose the five major exercises.
…………
Dou Tianfeng could not suppress his inner joy and walked into the Tianya Haijiao Tower with a happy face. Not only did he successfully pass the first hurdle on the road of cultivation and advance to the Qi Induction Stage, but he also succeeded in just thirteen years without relying on elixirs. He can be regarded as a leader in the Penglai Sect with many talents. Although he is not as good as the predecessors such as Xu Zhifei and Shi Xuan recorded in the sect's classics, he is definitely outstanding.
If it was just like this, Dou Tianfeng, who had encountered many adventures since childhood, would not be happy, but just now after he worshipped in the inner sect, the head of the Zhanglu Hall, Master Tang Mo, uncle Tang, uh, no, it should be called Master, decided to accept him as a registered disciple and hold a ceremony tomorrow. Once he can break through to the Soul Stage in the future, he will officially become his disciple.
Being able to worship under a high-grade Jindan Grandmaster is something that many low-level cultivators in the cultivation world dream of. How could Dou Tianfeng not be happy and joyful, especially when he was in the outer sect, he was often discriminated against by others because of his slow progress in soul cultivation.
"Is this junior brother here to choose the five major exercises? Please go to the second floor. Also, congratulations to junior brother for breaking through the Qi-inducing stage and entering the inner sect." The inner sect disciple on duty here said with a smile to Dou Tianfeng.
Dou Tianfeng was so happy that he liked everyone, not to mention that the other party was congratulating him sincerely, so he smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you, senior brother." Then he followed the other party's instructions and went to the second floor.
The inner sect disciple on duty looked at Dou Tianfeng and said to himself, "This seems to be the Dou Junior Brother who has been making a lot of noise recently and has a great reputation? He was able to advance to the Qi-drawing stage in thirteen years. He is really extraordinary. Hey, he will definitely be accepted as a disciple by some Jindan Grandmaster."
Dou Tianfeng went up to the second floor and saw that it was quite spacious, but empty. There were only two bookshelves in the huge floor. One bookshelf had five jade slips, and the other bookshelf had twenty-four jade slips. The one on duty was a young monk wearing a plain green Taoist robe. He looked ordinary, but he was in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Dou Tianfeng didn't know what to call the other person for a moment, and was a little stunned. The person who could guard the second floor of Tianya Haijiao Tower must be an inner sect member, but he didn't have the pressure of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Could he be the elder of the soul, or even a hidden Yinshen Venerable?
After all, there are very few true disciples and Jindan masters, and those in the sect often preach to the outer disciples. Dou Tianfeng couldn't have not known them. Hearing that the middle-grade Jindan masters had no hope of Yuanshen, the Yinshen masters who advanced to them didn't have to be in seclusion, and they were likely to guard the important places of the sect.
Seeing that Dou Tianfeng didn't speak, Shi Xuan said lightly: "Where is your good deeds jade slip?" When you reach the Yuanshen realm, it is really "like it comes from the heart". Shi Xuan has become accustomed to this appearance, so it is difficult to change.
Dou Tianfeng handed the good deeds jade slip to Shi Xuan and asked him to check his identity. He said respectfully: "Senior, I just entered the inner gate and came to choose a practice." He didn't hesitate. Whether it was the elder of the soul or the elder of the Yinshen, they were all seniors to him.
"Well, which practice do you want to choose, I'll get it for you." Shi Xuan casually looked at the good deeds jade slip and said to Dou Tianfeng with a smile.
Dou Tianfeng said quickly: "I dare not trouble you, senior. Please tell me which bookshelf the "Xiao Zhutian Lei Fa Zhenchuan" is on. I will go and get it myself."
Shi Xuan felt that this was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't it the conversation between him and Master Jiang when he came to choose "Heaven and Earth Six Combinations Divine Wind Zhenjie"?
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand and released five jade slips. A jade slip flew out of the bookshelf and fell into his palm. Then he copied it onto another one, smiling and imitating Master Jiang's answer at that time: "It's rare to see the younger generation respect the elderly so much. After memorizing the skills, don't forget to return the jade slip."
When Dou Tianfeng heard Shi Xuan's old-fashioned answer, he was stunned for a moment and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior." Monks cannot judge their age based on their appearance. A child who looks only a few years old is probably hundreds or thousands of years old. Devil.
Seeing that Dou Tianfeng did not leave immediately after taking the jade slips, Shi Xuan understood that he probably had other things to do, so he smiled and said, "My little friend, do you want to exchange for something?"
Dou Tianfeng was hesitant at this time, because before he entered the Penglai Sect, he had an adventure on a mysterious desert island offshore Falling Star, and gained many good things, the most precious of which was a Taoist technique that could be directly practiced. "Thousands of Illusions and Shadows Escape", it was a pity that he did not get the basic skills in that adventure, so he still followed the original plan, passed the ceremony, and entered the Penglai sect. Finally, he broke through the entrainment period and entered the inner sect. He was about to be killed by the golden elixir. The master accepted him as his disciple.
However, this Taoist skill requires the golden elixir stage to be practiced. Dou Tianfeng could only look at the plum blossoms to quench his thirst. It was not until today after a conversation with his master Tang Mo that he had other thoughts.
Originally, he was worried that his adventure would be taken away by the sect if his adventure was exposed. After all, Taoism was very precious, so today he was doing some side-tracking to see what the master's attitude was towards this.
When he asked how many Taoist arts the sect had, Tang Mo answered directly: "Twenty-four, not too many, not too few."
Dou Tianfeng was shocked. He thought that there were at most seven or eight sects in Taoism, a precious thing like Taoism. He didn't expect that there were more than twenty sects. In this case, he would not necessarily be greedy for his own Taoism.
What Tang Mo said later shocked him even more: "There are Taoist techniques that can be practiced in the Qi-entraining stage and the Soul-Entraining stage, and there are even a few that can be practiced in the Out-of-body stage. However, in addition to advanced Soul and Golden elixirs, you can choose from them. , Ordinary outer sect and inner sect disciples can only exchange Taoism for Taoism."
These words seemed to have a meaning, but Dou Tianfeng did not pay attention to this. After being shocked, he became very greedy. If he could learn a Taoist technique now, he would have a trump card to save his life during the Qi-entraining period.
After bidding farewell to Tang Mo and heading to Tianya Haijiaolou, Dou Tianfeng thought about it and decided to exchange "Thousand Phantoms Escape" for a Taoist technique that he could practice now. However, when he was about to say it, he became a little worried again, until After being asked by Shi Xuan, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "This disciple wants to change to another Taoism."
"Oh, if you want to change Taoism, you must have another Taoism." Shi Xuan laughed dumbly again. He didn't expect that he would meet someone who would exchange Taoism. Originally, the Penglai sect had a total of seventeen Taoisms, plus the one he had exchanged. The five external physical and divine channel arts in his life have become twenty-two, but over the years, disciples have successively obtained Tao arts, and two more have been added.
Dou Tianfeng calmed down as soon as the words came out of his mouth: "This disciple has a Taoist technique called "Thousands of Illusions and Thousands of Shadows Escape"."
Shi Xuan nodded, instead of discussing with the leader like Zhenren Jiang did, he directly followed the sect's rules and said: "Carve the Taoist skills on the jade slip and give it to me."
Dou Tianfeng used his spiritual sense to carve "Thousands of Phantoms and Shadows Escape" into the jade slip, and then handed it to Shi Xuan. When he found that Shi Xuan started to read it directly, he was also very envious. He didn't expect that the guard on the second floor of Tianya Haijiao Tower would still be there. What a benefit!
"It is indeed Taoism. Which one do you want to choose?" Shi Xuan confirmed after reading it. At the same time, he activated the Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword. After observing the disciple's luck, he was able to encounter Taoism by chance before the Qi-entraining period. The skill can be called extraordinary luck.
As expected, Dou Tianfeng's luck is already a small golden cloud, surpassing that of ordinary monks in the Soul Stage, but there is no special meaning such as coercion, shock, charm, etc. in it. Well, when he achieves Soul, what else needs luck? , the sect can tell him to do it.
Dou Tianfeng didn't even know what Taoist techniques there were, so he had no choice but to ask Shi Xuan respectfully: "Senior, do you know which Taoist techniques can be practiced during the Qi-entraining stage?"
"Fire Golden Eyes, Broken Jade Technique, Geng Jin Sword Qi...there are seven in total." Seeing that he had not asked anyone else for advice, Shi Xuan answered calmly, and explained the approximate effects and shortcomings of each Taoist technique.
Dou Tianfeng had a headache and didn't know what to choose. His initial plan was to use the Escape Technique and Escape Technique for escaping, but he didn't know if any of them could be practiced during the Qi Entrainment Period. If he chose offensive Taoism, the range of the five external magical powers would be limited. It's too close and it's very difficult to use. If you choose the Fiery Golden Eyes, you won't be able to practice the Thunder Purple Eyes.
He finally gritted his teeth and said: "Disciple chooses "Broken Jade Art"."
Shi Xuanxin said that the hero saw the same thing, so he took a photo of the jade slip "Broken Jade Jue", copied it into another jade slip and handed it over to Dou Tianfeng.
Dou Tianfeng happily took it and was about to leave, but he remembered that he had not asked his senior's name, which was a bit rude, so he turned around and asked, "I haven't asked my senior's name yet."
PS: Fixed a BUG. Chapter 29 of Volume 2 mentioned that Master Zhang only has two disciples. In the previous chapter, it was said that Lingxing is a disciple of Master Zhang. This is inconsistent. I changed it when I was figuring out the details of the outline. I changed it to mixed, and now changed it to three disciples in the second volume. Thanks to my friend Xuanyuan Zhan for pointing out this issue.
