Chapter 331 Is there still such a stupid genius?

Chapter 331 Is there still such a stupid genius?

Li Xiuchang wanted to persuade Chu Ya to stop struggling and just choose the safest option.

After all, that is the ancestor of Tianxiang, who is several levels higher than Chu Tianfan, the ancestor of the Chu family.

Normally, Chu Ya, a young monk, would have no power to resist the methods of Patriarch Tianxiang.

This cannot be resisted and changed by individual will.

Therefore, Chu Ya wants to rely on his feelings for Ye Yuqiu to cut off his love for the ancestor Tianxiang. This is simply unrealistic.

But Li Xiuchang thought that since Chu Tianfan, the ancestor of the Chu family, agreed to let Chu Ya try it on his own, there was no need for him to persuade him.

Chu Tianfan must have thought more carefully than him.

And after thinking about it carefully, he found that he still hadn't considered it properly and hadn't included the variable Ye Yuqiu.

Chu Ya himself could not resist the methods of Patriarch Tianxiang, but this matter also involved Ye Yuqiu, whose strength was not inferior to Patriarch Tianxiang.

With the protection of these two immortals, Ye Yuqiu and Chu Tianfan, Chu Ya was completely confident to give it a try.

Therefore, Li Xiuchang changed his words: "Senior Brother's affection for Senior Ye is admirable. Since you have this heart, you might as well give it a try."

Chu Ya nodded, but then sighed and said: "The second thing that worries me is the skills and the great way that I practice.

"Both junior brothers should know that the "Severing Threads of Love" I practice is a ruthless way, and you must cut off your emotions to improve."

Li Xiuchang nodded.

Chu Ya continued: "What I'm worried about is that even if I cut off the thickest love thread with the help of my relationship with Qiu'er, the love thread between me and Qiu'er will become an obstacle to my cultivation. Time and emotion require me to make a choice again.”

Li Xiuchang and Song Yu looked at each other, this was indeed a big problem.

Chu Ya practices the ruthless way, and is destined not to be able to "live up to Tathagata and live up to your Majesty."

Li Xiuchang couldn't think of any solution, so he could only comfort Chu Ya to take it one step at a time, and the boat would straighten out when it reached the bridge.

Song Yu also said: "Senior Brother Chu, you don't have to worry about your future choices now. When the day comes, I believe you will definitely have a choice in your heart."

"That's all it can do."

Finally, Li Xiuchang and Song Yu said goodbye and left.

The two walked outside the door together. Li Xiuchang wanted to go back to Donggeng District, and Song Yu lived in the inner door, on a different road.

But before they separated, Song Yu pulled Li Xiuchang and seemed a little entangled: "Junior brother Li..."

Li Xiuchang saw that Senior Brother Song Yu seemed embarrassed to speak, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, if you have something to do, it's okay to say it."

Senior Brother Song Yu was Li Xiuchang's guide to the Xianchen Sect. He was kind to him. As long as the demands were not too excessive, Li Xiuchang would help him if he could.

Senior Brother Song Yu asked: "I heard that both Danxiang Tower and the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce are your properties, but are you still short of manpower now?"

Li Xiuchang didn't expect Senior Brother Song to ask this. As an inner disciple of the Immortal Dust Sect, Senior Brother Song naturally couldn't go to Danxiang Tower and the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce to seek employment.

So it's most likely that I'm asking for someone else's help, maybe to accommodate relatives and friends at home or something...

Li Xiuchang was used to being the shopkeeper, leaving the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce headquarters to Wang Long, and Danxiang Building to Xiao Zhu, so he couldn't figure out whether there was a shortage of people on both sides.

But he still replied immediately: "Senior Brother Song has already spoken, there must be a shortage of people."

Even if there is no shortage, just more manpower, it will not cost more than a few spiritual stones, and it can also share the workload of other employees... Now that the family has a big business, Li Xiuchang does not need to squeeze the employees too hard.

After all, the employees of Danxiang Tower and the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce are living people, not ghosts, and they have to be treated as human beings.

Moreover, when recruiting people, they always give priority to first-level talisman masters, which can be regarded as support for first-level talisman masters. This has also earned the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce a reputation as a charitable chamber of commerce.

First-level talisman masters were poorer than Guidu, and Li Xiuchang couldn't bear to exploit them.

Senior Brother Song Yu thought about it for a while and said, "Is there a simpler position that doesn't require much salary and just takes care of food and housing?"

Li Xiuchang was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Of course I won't treat the person recommended by senior brother badly, but from what senior brother means..."

After all, this is the world of immortality and the Immortal Dust Sect. Even registered disciples who work as handymen still have a meager salary.

How can anyone send someone to work for free?

Who are you sending to work?

If it wasn't that Senior Brother Song Yu had any grudge against this person, it would be because this person was rather "special".

Li Xiuchang's curiosity was aroused.

Song Yu sighed: "To be honest, I want to make a living for a child."

"child?"

When did Senior Brother Song have a child?

Song Yu explained: "This matter started a few years ago. At that time, a junior brother accidentally discovered an extremely talented baby in a remote mountain village. The baby was only three years old at the time. According to the rules of our Fairy Dust Sect, As a rule, children under eight years old are not allowed.

"But the kid's qualifications were too good. The disciple couldn't make up his mind, so he immediately returned to the sect and reported to the elder..."

"Then what? How good are the doll's qualifications?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.

Song Yu continued: "Later, an elder from the sect went to the small mountain village in person and tested the child's aptitude. The aptitude for the spiritual aperture was top-notch! At that time, the air column on the orifice stone was as high as nine inches!"

hiss……

Nine inches!

If the Qi column exceeds four inches, it is a top-grade spiritual orifice.

If it exceeds six inches, it is considered a top-grade spiritual orifice.

When Li Xiuchang first tested it, the air column was only one and a half inches. He added an inch to the length before it grew to two and a half inches, making him look like an outer disciple.

The Qi Pillar is nine inches long, and the spiritual aperture qualifications are already the best among the best!

"This is nothing. The nine-inch Qi column is only the limit of the aperture stone, not necessarily his limit." Song Yu said in surprise, "He is an innate holy body that is rare in thousands of years! He is born with divine power, a strong body, and is influenced by the world. Favor is also at the top of the list among all special physiques.”

"This is the gifted man of heaven. He was born with the seed of cultivation. He is a genius at a young age. If he does not die young in the future, he will definitely become a leader in the cultivation world!"

Li Xiuchang was shocked, but also wondered why he had never heard of such a talent before?

This kind of people have been extraordinary since childhood. They have been outstanding since childhood. Even if their cultivation is still shallow, they often cause quite a stir.

Moreover, Senior Brother Song Yu said that he wanted to find a job for someone, so he wouldn't be talking about this genius, right?

Could it be that something unexpected happened and this young prodigy disappeared from everyone?

Song Yu smiled bitterly: "The elder who went there at the beginning had the same idea as you, thinking that our Fairy Dust Sect had found a treasure, especially when he learned from the old man in the small mountain village that a vision came from the sky when the baby was born. After a long drought, sweet rain suddenly fell from the sky, and there were even more auspicious beasts hooting in the mountains, accompanied by glowing red clouds...

"It's just that the small mountain village is too remote, so the vision has never been seen by outsiders. Anyway, the elder who went there made an exception and admitted the three-year-old baby into the door.

"After returning to the sect, the baby's strong physique and amazing talent made the sect have high hopes for him, and even the Supreme Elder made an exception and accepted him as a closed disciple.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is already six years old, but unexpectedly he is still a mortal. The senior leaders of the sect even revealed their intention to give up on cultivating him, so I wanted to find a way out for him."

Li Xiuchang was stunned for a moment, with many doubts in his mind.

"Even though he is young, he is still a talented young genius. After three years of training, he shouldn't still be a mortal, right?"

To be honest, in three years, even a registered disciple of the Xianchen Sect should have started to practice and reach the first level of Qi training.

"Furthermore, even if there is no progress in his cultivation, he is still only six years old and has such talent. Are the senior leaders of the sect going to give up on cultivating him?"

Song Yu's face was full of helplessness: "Junior brother, you don't know something. His talent and qualifications are fine in all aspects, but he is just too... too stupid!"

He didn't seem to want to use the word "stupid" to describe him, but he couldn't find any other more suitable adjective.

"Stupid?" Li Xiuchang never expected that it was because of this, "How stupid are you? The one who still drools after being cured?"

With such talent, the elders should be reluctant to give up on anyone who is not stupid enough to drool.

You must know that there are many ways to enlighten ordinary dullness. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism or Confucianism, there are various secret methods for enlightenment.

Even if it is impossible to make him have superior intelligence, it is not difficult to become a person with normal intelligence.

This kind of talent basically ascends while lying down. As long as he has normal intelligence, it does not require him to be as smart as a monster, and he can cultivate in a down-to-earth manner, and he will become a talent sooner or later.

Song Yu thought for a while and said, "Let's put it this way, it has been three years and he hasn't even mastered the most basic qi training methods."

"Well... that's a bit stupid, but it could also be that he's too young. Some people just develop slowly."

Song Yu glanced at Li Xiuchang and added: "What I mean by not mastering it is not that I haven't mastered the entire article, but I haven't mastered a single word. That's why he still can't practice until now.

"Not only the exercises, to be precise, he still doesn't recognize any words, and he can't even write his own name. The disciples and elders of the sect can't teach him, and they even went to the mortal world to invite the most famous teacher. After being taught, Mr. Xian became haggard and visibly emaciated.

"The elders also specially invited the prince and grand master of the mortal dynasty, who was also a contemporary great Confucian, and promised him the opportunity to cultivate immortality as a reward. As long as the great Confucian could teach him how to read and write, he could practice long-term practice in our Xianchen Sect as a guest. As a result. After a few days, he made no progress at all. The great scholar was so ashamed that he took the initiative to say goodbye and left, not even cultivating immortality!

"When the elders saw this, they couldn't bear to torment the other teachers anymore and gave up the idea completely."

Li Xiuchang felt outrageous after hearing this. How could someone be so stupid?

He thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter even if you are illiterate. You just need to remember the route of practicing Qigong. Practicing Qigong will not be too complicated."

Song Yu shook his head: "The elder personally guided him with spiritual energy to help him familiarize himself with the exercise route, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't remember it at all! If he can't remember even a short paragraph, he can't let others help him practice in the future, right?"

Li Xiuchang didn't know what to do. He felt that the child was probably a waste.

There is no one else who is so stupid.

God opened countless windows for him, but also locked the most important door.

That door is called "Forehead", or the door of wisdom.

"Even the elders who preach the secret method have tried, but there is no way, they can't get it in." Song Yu said.

Li Xiuchang was not too surprised. He had long known that although the secret method of preaching was magical, it also depended on the target's ability to accept it.

Even if your brain capacity is small, you still have to be talented.

This kind of thing is completely impossible to think about, and a good talent is wasted.

Li Xiuchang finally understood why the young prodigy was only six years old and already made the sect's senior leaders feel that there was no hope.

Even if you are a little stupid and your progress is slow, then forget it.

But in the past three years, this young prodigy has been standing still, making no progress at all.

In the past three years, the sect's senior officials had invested too much time, energy and resources on him, but could not see any results, so they were inevitably discouraged by him.

Li Xiuchang returned to the topic and asked, "The sect has decided to give up training him?"

Song Yu nodded: "Although it's not confirmed yet, it's almost there, so my master asked me to help him find a way out."

Song Yu's master is also one of the elders of the inner sect and has the right to participate in various decisions of the sect. The story is that Song Yu came to Li Xiuchang after he mentioned it to Song Yu.

According to the rules of the Xianchen Sect, registered disciples and outer disciples who perform well and make great progress will be given the opportunity to be promoted.

However, those inner disciples and outer disciples who perform poorly will of course run the risk of being demoted or even eliminated.

That young prodigy spent a lot of resources in the sect without making any progress, and he was still a mere mortal after three years of entry. Whether it was due to sect rules or reason, he could no longer enjoy the treatment of an inner disciple.

If the cultivation progress is just a little slower, no one will care about it, but for a mortal to occupy the quota of inner disciples and enjoy the treatment of inner disciples, this is equally unfair to other disciples.

"If he really cannot embark on the path of cultivation, it is better to send him back to his earthly parents. After all, he is still young." Li Xiuchang suggested.

Let his Danxiang House and Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce employ a child who is only a few years old. Isn't this employing child labor?

"Of course it would be best if this could be done, but you don't know something, junior brother. He is an orphan. His parents passed away when he was one or two years old. He was raised by his elderly grandfather. He relied on the help of the villagers to avoid starvation. Death, his grandfather also passed away two years ago, and now he has no relatives and no home. "

Li Xiuchang also felt compassion when he heard this:

"It's a hard life. Fortunately, he came to our Fairy Dust Sect by mistake. Even if he can't become an immortal, he won't starve to death.

"Senior brother, don't worry. If he has nowhere to go, let him go to Danxiang House to do odd jobs. Even if he can't do anything, it doesn't matter. It's just to support more people."

After understanding the situation clearly, Li Xiuchang readily agreed.

There is Xiao Zhu in Danxiang Tower. This pig demon is smart and sensible, and can also take care of that stupid boy.

"Thank you so much, Junior Brother Li." Song Yu quickly thanked him.

"You're welcome, senior brother, it's just a little effort."

…

Li Xiuchang returned to Donggeng District and happened to meet Senior Brother Lu Yang setting up a barbecue outside.

The tangy aroma of meat made Li Xiuchang salivate after just one sip, and his greedy self was aroused.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, there is a barbecue."

He walked over and swallowed.

Lu Yang nodded: "My wife said she wants to eat barbecue. Let's bake some monster meat for her to satisfy her craving."

It’s for your wife, not mine?

Li Xiuchang stayed where he was, staring intently at the sizzling and oily legs of the big beast.

Lu Yang raised his head and glanced at Li Xiuchang.

Li Xiuchang chuckled and said, "Learn the barbecue skills from my senior brother."

After a while, I saw Brother Motu walking over as if he was taking a walk. It seemed that when I got closer, I saw Lu Yang grilling meat. Zhuang Ruo asked casually: "Barbecuing?"

"Yeah." Lu Yang was busy and responded casually.

Motu silently stood beside Li Xiuchang, not saying a word or going far away.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Chen Changsheng walking over quickly: "Barbecuing? I happen to have good wine here, and good meat should be paired with good wine."

After saying that, he took out a jar of wine and put it on the table nearby. The old god sat down on the ground, looking like he was waiting for the meal.

Xia Siyun glared at Chen Changsheng: "You should have taken that wine from my husband-in-law."

Chen Changsheng just pretended that he didn't hear it, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat.

Just as he was talking, Zhang Wanzhi ran over swallowing his saliva all the way.

"It smells so good. Do you want to share it with me?"

"Yes!" Xia Siyun on the side smiled coldly and took out a chicken, "I have prepared a baby chicken specially for you."

"Woman, you have gone too far!" Zhang Wanzhi was furious.

Lu Yang, a wife-protecting maniac, immediately supported his wife: "If you dare to be disrespectful to my wife, be careful I put laxatives in your flesh!"

Zhang Wanzhi's anger subsided and he quickly put on a smile: "I'm just kidding, remember to add more cumin and less spicy to my chicken."

Luyang grilled meat and blew up all the people in Donggeng District.

Li Xiuchang waited for the barbecue to be served. He was bored and chatted with several senior brothers about today's experience.

First, he talked about Senior Brother Chu Ya's decision, and then talked about the "idiot genius" accepted by the Xianchen Sect.

"Is there such a stupid person in the world? I don't believe it! When he comes, I will teach him well!" Zhang Wanzhi became interested and did not believe in evil.

Mo Tu said: "Try to see if you can cultivate demons."

Chen Changsheng didn't say anything. He believed that the Supreme Elders of the Fairy Dust Sect must have used all the methods they could. If they couldn't civilize that idiot Tianjiao, he didn't think he could do anything good.

After a while, the barbecue was served, and a group of people sat in a circle and feasted.

Eat big chunks of meat, drink big gulps, it’s so enjoyable.

Li Xiuchang's cultivation has gradually grown, and his ability to drink has also increased. It is no longer the same as before.

After several glasses of wine, Li Xiuchang's cheeks were flushed, but he was still conscious.

Lu Yang was the first to see something was wrong and asked: "Xiu Chang, have you made another breakthrough in your cultivation?"

"How did senior brother figure it out?" Li Xiuchang asked in surprise.

"You have already drunk three cups of this 'Female Fairy Red' and you are still conscious, which means you have at least reached the Hedao stage. You should feel dizzy after the fourth cup, and you will be drunk after the fifth cup."

Li Xiuchang heard this and immediately withdrew his hand that was about to pour the fourth cup of wine.

Although the fairy wine is good, don't drink too much.

It is said that this "Female Fairy Red" fairy wine was buried underground when a talented daughter in the family began to practice. When the daughter ascended to the fairyland, the underground "Female Fairy Red" was dug out to entertain guests and celebrate her ascension to the fairyland.

Although Senior Brother Lu Yang did not have a daughter, he brewed a lot of "Female Fairy Red" for Xia Sijun in the past, and it was not dug out until the two ascended to heaven.

Li Xiuchang did not drink the fourth cup of wine, so he was still conscious.

He looked around and found that his senior brothers and sisters were all looking at him.

"Xiu Chang, have you really reached the Dao?"

Li Xiu Chang nodded: "I just broke through."

"Hiss..."

"How come you are practicing faster and faster? How long has it been since you broke through to the Refining Void Stage?"

"It seems to be only a little over a year!"

"At your speed, the Tribulation Stage is just around the corner!"

"Ascension is not far away."

The Dao-combining Stage is the last realm that needs to be practiced steadily before becoming an immortal.

The Tribulation Stage and Mahayana Stage that follow actually seem to be two major realms, but they are just two transitional stages before becoming an immortal.

The Tribulation Stage, as the name suggests, is mainly about crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.

If you successfully cross the Tribulation and have the conditions for ascension, you can become an immortal only by ascending. At this time, you are in the Mahayana Stage, also known as the Half-Immortal.

There is no distinction between the early, middle and late stages of the Mahayana Stage. You can ascend to become an immortal at any time, but you cannot stay in this stage for a long time. If you stay for a long time, you will be forced to ascend.

The main difficulty of these two realms is that you have to face the Heavenly Tribulation during the Tribulation Stage.

With Li Xiu Chang's combat power, it seems that there is no need to worry about this.

But there is a bigger problem before us... Do we really have to ascend to the upper realm after overcoming the tribulation?
