Chapter 15: Success in Studying the Fa for 3 Years

Chapter 15: Three Years of Studying the Fa with Success
The span of the third level of immortality is much wider than that of the third level of entry into the Tao. There is no record of the sixth level being better than the fourth level.

However, in the books left by Jinhua Sect, there are many records of sixth-grade cultivators defeating or even killing fifth-grade cultivators with magic weapons.

Although fourth-grade masters have no record of being defeated in battle due to their wider range, there are still records of them being restrained in one place by a group of sixth-grade cultivators, or several fifth-grade cultivators holding corresponding magic weapons and setting up corresponding formations due to some reasons such as their attributes being restrained or their own skills being flawed.

The third level of enlightenment above the fourth level was not recorded in the classics that Taoist Fu Guang brought out from the Jinhua Sect. Taoist Fu Guang had not read all of them and was unable to judge. He could only be sure that the fourth level of cultivation might still have certain flaws, but the third level would definitely have no shortcomings.

But things were different after Chu Tai merged the Dao Fruit fragments. As the power of the Dao Fruit fragments was gradually digested by him, Chu Tai was now getting closer and closer to the flawless seventh level. The so-called defects and loopholes were constantly disappearing.

Taoist Fu Guang was somewhat envious of Chu Tai's state and said, "In this state, you should be able to build the best foundation, and in the future you will be able to attain the third rank of Taoism and achieve the best achievements in the immortal way."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tai said that it was a stroke of luck that he was able to achieve the fourth rank, but Taoist Fu Guang did not think so. He was more cautious in his subsequent teachings and explained the Taoist scriptures in more detail.

Chu Tai was naturally very grateful for this, and became more respectful to Taoist Fu Guang.

From then on, Chu Tai would get up early every day before dawn, fetch water from the mountains after morning lessons and qi gathering, and after coming back to have breakfast, at the request of Taoist Fu Guang, he would use various tricks to handle the many chores in the Taoist temple while reading various miscellaneous books to increase his knowledge. Then he would have lunch, and in the afternoon he would study music theory, chess, poetry, calligraphy, martial arts and other miscellaneous subjects. After dinner, he would have evening lessons and free time.

Every day is fully scheduled, and every time Chu Tai makes progress, after a short rest, new learning content will follow.

To be honest, if Chu Tai had not experienced fleeing from the drought and almost becoming someone else's meal in this life, and had not been trained by the God of Tianmen for a year, it would have been difficult for him to endure such a fast pace of life with his personality in his previous life.

Even now, the study can run normally and faster and faster, which is largely due to the blessing brought by the name of [Tongzi].

[Boy] gives him a healthier body, a sharper mind, and a stronger learning ability, allowing him to thrive in his increasingly heavy workload.

This kind of study life lasted for three years. One morning three years later, Chu Tai, who had just finished his morning lessons, came to the top of the mountain. Looking around, he saw dark green mountains and lush forests. Everything was green entangled together, with branches covering each other and leaves connecting with each other. Thin clouds surrounded the mountains, just like a fairyland.

Compared with three years ago, his height and appearance have basically not changed. He did not conduct the usual Qi gathering. Instead, he picked up a jade brush from the side. The brush handle seemed to be made of broken jade, filled with a faint sense of brokenness, but it was warm to the touch and there was no sense of cracks. He dipped the brush in ink and casually sketched on the white paper, quickly completing a simple landscape painting.

Taoist Fu Guang, who had been gathering energy here for a long time, looked back. In that seemingly short period of time, Chu Tai had completed the description of every detail in an extremely delicate and realistic manner.

Taoist Fu Guang shook his head and sighed, "It looks similar but lacks spirit. If you put this skill in the human world, you might become a master, but it is useless for cultivation. In comparison, your forging skills are more spiritual."

When he said the second half of the sentence, Taoist Fu Guang looked at the jade brush in Chu Tai's hand, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After nearly four years of study, Chu Tai has completely mastered the basics of various miscellaneous studies. He even studied the books on brocade, jewelry, and stationery that Taoist Fu Guang brought from Jinhua Sect. For example, the jade brush in his hand was made by himself. The white jade is used as the shaft, and gold and iron are melted inside, making the gold and jade one. Combined with the runes carved in the jade, it contains a ray of gold and jade spiritual inspiration, which can baptize people when writing and painting, and can slightly adjust their physical state. It is a rare treasure for mortals.

Hearing Fu Guang's praise, Chu Tai turned the brush in his hand and said with a little pride: "This is just a small skill that I have a little talent for. What I am really good at is music and arithmetic."

"Indeed, compared to painting, your forging talent is first-rate, but compared to music and arithmetic, forging can only take a back seat. Compared to your talent in medicine, music and arithmetic seem to be a little worse."

Taoist Fu Guang took out a small gourd from his sleeve, unscrewed the lid, and poured out a round pill. It was dark blue in color with white cloud patterns on it and a little red on the top, just like Danxia. Holding it in the hand, it seemed as if clouds and mist were condensing inside the pill, which was quite mysterious.

This is the Baiyun Yingxia Pill refined by Chu Tai with the help of Taoist Fuguang. It is made by blending many precious medicinal materials with the clear spring water in the mountains and then washing it with the light of the sun and the moon. Taking it can regulate the yin and yang energy of the whole body. Its prototype is the Liuyun Juxi Pill that was originally used by Jinhua Sect to assist in spiritual practice.

This is because although the original Liuyun Juxi Pill has a gentle medicinal property, the sunlight contained in it is too hot and conflicts too seriously with Chu Tai's magic power, so it was modified to further soften the medicinal properties and make it easier for Chu Tai to sort out his own magic power.

Later, Taoist Fu Guang discovered that this medicine also had a certain auxiliary effect on the circulation of his own magic power and the suppression of the dark and misty Qi of the Nine Springs, so he carried a gourd with him in case of emergency.

After Chu Tai found out, he also regularly prepared medicinal materials and pills for him.

He opened his mouth and swallowed a pill, then Taoist Fu Guang tidied up his messy hair.

His face looked much older than it had been three years ago, and his hair had become much drier and yellower, but he had not expected that a simple haircut would pull out several strands of his hair.

Feeling the special touch on his fingertips, Taoist Fu Guang was silent for a moment. He was very clear that this phenomenon was a very serious problem, which meant that the cultivator was no longer able to restrain his vital energy. It was a manifestation of his vitality being out of control and his life span being about to end.

He gathered his hair with his fingers, then looked at Chu Tai and spoke.

"You have already mastered the art of music theory, chess, poetry, calligraphy, and you have also mastered the Taiyi Golden Light Mantra. It is time to teach you the Nanyan Cave Floating Cloud Crow Picture."

"You should have heard of this technique when Wodan and I fought. It is a part of the authentic classic of my Jinhua lineage, The Secret Chapter of Taiyi Jinhua Celestial Phenomenon. It describes in detail the various tricks of collecting the Yang Qi of the Nine Heavens Sunlight, condensing the sixth-grade True Qi Nanyan Yunhua Qi, and sublimating it into the fifth-grade True Qi Nanyan Dong Fuxi Yao Qi."

"In the past, during the heyday of the sect, disciples were required to accumulate more than sixty years of mana before they would be taught. But you are different. You are gifted and blessed by the Dao Fruit fragments. In less than four years, you have completed the knowledge accumulation of ordinary people for twenty to thirty years. In addition, the half-sixty years of mana brought by the Dao Fruit fragments are of high quality, so it is not a bad idea to practice in advance. Just watch..."
