Chapter 45: Life Is Full of Calculations

As its name suggests, Qingzi Courtyard is pure and quiet, with flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Although the layout is complicated, it is not complicated. It has a mixed beauty, with birds chirping and insects chirping. It has an artistic conception of the noisy cicadas in the forest being more quiet, and the birds singing in the mountains being more secluded.

Passing through the flower forest in front of the courtyard, there is a small pavilion. Although it is a small pavilion, there are more than ten stools, which is enough to accommodate the people present. There is a small table behind the pavilion, hidden among the flowers and trees. The woman played the piano and played the harp, and her clear voice came out slowly like gurgling water, which matched the scenery very well.

In addition, Xiao Wan also invited five maids to pour wine and serve tea. After a while, all the wine and food were served. The dishes were diverse and full of five flavors, including many delicacies, which even a monk would find rare. See.

After the guests of honor were seated, Fan Mingqing, the initiator of today's banquet, stood up and faced Wu Yi and the other five invitees, and said: "Wealthy couples have four important points of cultivating the Dharma. I hope that I can contact you at today's banquet and deepen our relationship." , we can go hand in hand in the future.”

This put his status on the same level as Wu Yi and the other five people. Wu Yi and the other five people did not dare to take it seriously. Wu Yi stood up and responded: "Brother, please take back this statement, but I hope that in the future, senior brother will not hesitate to give me some advice." "Wait a minute." The other four people were a little slower, but that was basically what they said.

Hearing the willingness to obey Wu Yi's words, Fan Mingqing smiled slightly. It was just the first time they met, so words to each other should not be taken seriously. It would still take a period of time to get used to each other, especially to establish common interests. He said indifferently: "Junior brother, be humble. "

At the banquet, in order to get closer to their senior brothers and sisters, the other four people often asked about some of the confusions they encountered in their current cultivation. On the outside, Fan Mingqing and the five others also showed that they knew everything, and of course they would not talk about it. It was said so easily, but what the four of them were looking for was not to solve the problem. Perhaps it was not the first purpose to solve the problem. The most important thing was to be able to deepen the connection through questions and answers.

In comparison, Wu Yi seemed much taciturn. If he didn't really need to ask a few questions to fill the scene, or to prove that he wanted his senior brothers and sisters, Wu Yi didn't want to speak, but it was obvious that among the five He is the least active, even if he is pretentious and false.

In fact, Wu Yi has mastered the three changes of Qi Dao cultivation. Now he only needs to exhale the spiritual energy to nourish the Dantian. There is no obstacle, it is just a simple water grinding skill. As for other problems encountered in the cultivation of Dharma and Li Dao, there are no problems. If Wu Yi is willing to let them know his confusion, even if he asks people who have never practiced these two things, they may not be able to answer. On the contrary, it seems that Wu Yi deliberately embarrasses them. The most suitable question at this time is actually Some simple basic questions.

But the most suitable does not necessarily mean that you can only ask this question. Asking some tricky and weird cultivation questions is actually a test for Fan Mingqing and others. If Fan Mingqing, the five senior brothers and sisters, can answer it, everyone will be happy, just like the previous one who was not How to speak Yan Mingzhi answered the question about why the properties of spiritual energy are different at different times.

The average person may only know one change of yin and yang at most, but not much more. They know it but don’t know why. They only know when to practice best, but they don’t know why it is best to practice at that time.

Yan Mingzhi started from the birth of spiritual energy and talked about many factors that may affect spiritual energy. He pointed out that the change of yin and yang is only one of them. He also explained why it is necessary to practice when the first yang rises and under what circumstances the first yang moment is not suitable for practice. Yes, what he said was clear and convincing, and won applause from the whole house.

After listening to Yan Mingzhi's words, Wu Yi also benefited a lot. He was impressed by his erudition and decided to read more books on this aspect in the future. But what Wu Yi didn't know was that Yan Mingzhi actually learned these contents from the inner sect, and he couldn't find books with such detailed explanations from the outer sect.

It can be said that if Yan Mingzhi is promoted to Foundation Establishment now, he can easily find a job in the outer sect and become a professor-like person. But after entering the inner sect, everyone will naturally try to stay in it. No matter how free the outer sect is, The resources are not as rich as those of the inner sect. It may take three years for Taoist friends with average qualifications to be in the inner sect and one in the outer sect to widen the gap.

It is precisely because of the idea of ​​​​staying in the inner sect that people like Yan Mingzhi delay building the foundation. Disciples with average qualifications try hard to build the foundation, but for some other disciples, they are required to have all nine changes. , the gap between people may make people helpless, what they want is what I give up.

The emotional liaison meeting ended like this. Wu Yi wanted to ask about Daoyun in the end, but in the end he swallowed it. He planned to go back and ask Wang Chuchen. After all, he was a half-step golden elixir, and he must be more knowledgeable than people like Fan Mingqing. Much more.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wu Yi was the first to say goodbye. The other four people looked at him with unkind expressions, ended the questioning without saying anything, and then left.

After saying goodbye again and again, after Wu Yi and other new disciples left, Wang Yanran smiled and said: "The disciple named Wu Yi doesn't seem to ask many questions."

She could see that Wu Yi was the most qualified among the five new disciples today. This was also the reason why Xu Feng didn't take it seriously after losing some face and shook hands with Wu Yi instead. Xu Feng valued it. Wu Yi's potential was why he sent a Great Return Pill, just to make Wu Yi accept his favor. Maybe Xu Feng even provoked Wu Yi in the first place just to make Wu Yi owe him a favor.

It is precisely because of this qualification that, unlike the other four, Wu Yi has his own thoughts.

Fan Mingqing knew what she meant. She just meant that Wu Yi seemed to be keeping a distance from them. But since they were already here, how could they keep a distance? Did he really think that he chose the place where he met Ge Yunyi just by a wall? That day, Ge Yunyi wanted to embarrass Wu Yi. Anyone who was not as innocent as Ge Yiyi could see it. Don't even think about getting off after getting in his car. Fan Mingqing said in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. I heard from his fellows that he has always been like this. He is not good at asking others for help. He keeps practicing by himself. I didn't expect that he could invite him out." Fan Mingqing's words were very generous.

Wang Yanran didn't believe Fan Mingqing's words. She knew that he must have other arrangements, but she still praised him for his tolerance.

On the other side of the courtyard, seeing Wu Yi and Fan Mingqing, Xu Feng and others hanging out together, Ge Yunyi's heart was agitated at first, and he began to doubt his countermeasures against Wu Yi again, but then he thought that Fan Mingqing and others were descendants of aristocratic families. Although they were not the top aristocratic families in the sect, they were also families with golden elixir in charge, which was much higher than He Wei's family. They were considered to have entered the decision-making circle of the sect and had a certain status. It was not much different from his family. His uncle was also a true disciple of the sect and a person of the same level as Yun Sa.

What does it mean to be a descendant of aristocratic families? The conflict with the master-disciple lineage can be said to be natural. One relies on blood inheritance to exclude outsiders, and when they find potential disciples, they either marry or suppress them, while the other relies on the master's own selection. It often takes more than ten years to find a disciple who meets his requirements, and more often than not, they can't find it. Compared with the aristocratic families that have been passed down from generation to generation, they are not weaker in terms of the source of disciples.

But since the master-disciple lineage is so strict in recruiting disciples, truly excellent disciples naturally emerge in an endless stream. Although the number of people has decreased a lot, the position of the true disciple is not necessarily reduced by much, and they are on par with the children of the aristocratic families. Of course, the position of the true disciple involves all aspects. Sometimes, even if you have reached the level of cultivation, it is not your turn to reconcile the conflicts in the sect. This is another matter.

Wu Yi was selected from Wang Chuchen, and he was inevitably marked with the mark of the master-disciple lineage. Now he is entangled with the children of the aristocratic family. If he does not handle it well, it is easy to cause a rift with Wang Chuchen.

Ge Yunyi thought of provoking the relationship between Wu Yi and Wang Chuchen when he saw Wu Yi and Fan Mingqing together, and he seemed absent-minded when he was feasting with friends afterwards.

I don’t know when Wu Yi has become Ge Yunyi’s inner demon, a demon that must be eliminated as soon as possible, but Wu Yi’s identity makes Ge Yunyi tied up and unable to use all means. He has to use these conspiracies and tricks, which is also Ge ​​Yunyi’s sorrow.

Back to his residence, Wu Yi recalled the scenes of today's banquet, especially the scene of meeting Ge Yiyi. Since Ge Yiyi was there, Ge Yunyi should not be far away. I am afraid that I can't hide my whereabouts from him. Besides, Wu Yi has no intention of hiding it. Going out to make some friends is nothing. Although he knows that he should not associate with these children of aristocratic families, he will admit it if Wang Chuchen blames him for it.

Another thing is whether Ge Yunyi followed him intentionally when they met today or - Wu Yi frowned when he thought of something, and he became more cautious in his heart.

Putting aside all kinds of thoughts, Wu Yi calmed down and concentrated on cultivation. No matter what, cultivation is always the first priority. No matter how many tricks he has, I will break them with my own strength. After reaching the peak of the fourth transformation, I will have the opportunity to go to the inner gate to continue my cultivation. Although it is only a short month, I am not afraid of the high peak, but I am afraid that there is no way forward. If there is a way, I will just keep moving forward.

After several cycles, Wu Yi felt the almost invisible growth of Dantian. He could not help but stop breathing, thinking of the Da Huan Dan that Xu Feng gave him. He could not help but take it out from his sleeve, exuding a faint fragrance as if he had just seen it. After the spiritual energy in his body felt it, it was ready to move, and a desire was transmitted.

He did not doubt that Xu Feng would give him some poisonous pill. Even if there was a grudge, he would never leave such a big handle for himself, but would clear himself completely, as if he had nothing to do with the matter. This is the style of the children of the noble family.

Those who are resentful and look down on the children of the noble family who are born with rich clothes and food, and have no shortage of resources and skills think that the children of the noble family are all playboys. It can only be said that they are too naive. There may be some playboys, but it must be that this kind of wise children account for the majority. Any family with a little background will not relax the control of their children.

Wu Yi opened his mouth and swallowed the Great Huan Dan. At first, there was nothing unusual. Just when Wu Yi thought that his idea was wrong and that Xu Feng had given him an ineffective Great Huan Dan, the Great Huan Dan began to melt and turned into a ball of hot flow in his abdomen, which was extremely hot and burned his heart and lungs.

For a moment, Wu Yi's whole body was like a roasted red lobster. Even the thinnest blood vessels swelled up and seemed to burst. The blood was wrapped in spiritual energy and traveled through his body at a much faster speed than usual. A large amount of spiritual energy gathered around his body and turned into mist, which continuously flowed into his body. He himself was sweating a lot all over his body. Even with Wu Yi's powerful mental power, he couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

The Great Huan Dan was originally to be taken with a kind of elixir called Bencao Dan. Bencao Dan was mild in nature and could neutralize the violent nature of the Great Huan Dan. This was something that all cultivators knew. Fan Mingqing thought Wu Yi knew it but didn't mention it at the time. However, Wu Yi had been cultivating for a short time and he didn't expect to reach the peak of the fourth transformation so soon. He hadn't read any books on this subject yet.

Although Bencao Dan can alleviate the violent medicinal properties of Dahuan Dan, it will also take away some of the medicinal power of Dahuan Dan, so it is best to take it alone. However, due to the violent medicinal properties, it will cause a disaster if it is not checked for a while, so many people still choose to take it with Bencao Dan.

It is impossible to absorb so much spiritual energy by absorbing Dantian alone. Wu Yi jumped up and practiced nine movements in the house. As he performed one move after another, Wu Yi gradually forgot everything and only knew to continue. Don't stop, otherwise you will feel extremely hot.
