Chapter 487: Finding the Way Forward: A Strange Task
"Ok?"
Chi Jiuyu perked up: "Master, didn't you say last time that my uncle is proficient in all arts? I want a quick version of the secret manual of practicing all arts to take with me on the road."
As for finding a master uncle, taking the path of "saving the country in a roundabout way"...
Forget it, although the master will listen to his uncle.
But based on her understanding of her uncle, not only would he not help her, but he would ask the master for a copy of the video and then laugh at her!
Bie Xue Ning was speechless when she heard her thoughts.
A quick version of the Hundred Arts Cultivation Secret Manual...
You really do think about it.
"Your uncle..." Bie Xue Ning suddenly looked behind Chi Jiuyu when she was halfway through her words. "Here he comes."
Before Chi Jiuyu could react, she saw a figure passing her and walking towards the dojo out of the corner of her eye.
"Brother Jianzu."
"Fellow."
Just greeting each other with Zhao Chengmeng means we have met before.
Xu Xing finally walked to the other side of Bie Xue Ning and sat down.
"Practicing the Hundred Arts, Alchemy, Weapons, Arrays and Talismans. Although practicing the Hundred Arts is called the Hundred Arts, it encompasses everything."
Then he asked directly:
"Which one do you want to learn?"
"Emm... Can I learn everything from you, Uncle Master?" After a pause, she added, "Except for alchemy!"
Alchemy?
Even dogs don’t practice!
Xu Xing shook his head slightly: "You can't chew too much. Each cultivation technique requires a lot of energy. With your current state, just choose one and practice it carefully."
I see. It just means that our level is not high enough.
"Let me try them all and see which one suits me best."
All her previous talents were in Kendo, and she really didn't know what she was more talented in.
The only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that I have no talent for alchemy...
→_→
"Okay." Xu Xing did not refuse.
Hearing his agreement, Chi Jiuyu immediately became excited, and even his previous depression was somewhat alleviated.
The uncle-master is so generous, the gifts he gives are all at the level of cheats.
What kind of golden finger will he give himself this time?
Just when she was full of expectations, she heard Xu Xing say, "Go to the Dharma Teaching Building first and get a basic version of the "Guide to the Hundred Arts Cultivation" to test which aspect you are suitable for."
"what?"
Isn't this a cheat code? What the hell is this basic version of "A Guide to Practicing One Hundred Arts"?
"The current measurement methods are very complete. You can measure it yourself during the time you are on the mission."
Things are different now. It is no longer like the past when it was very difficult to inherit one or two cultivation skills.
Because of the universal popularity of spiritual practice, it is necessary to screen out talents with different specialties.
The Guide to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation was initiated by the seven major immortal sects and compiled by hundreds of thousands of top practitioners from all walks of life.
It is divided into basic version, complete version and large complete version.
The content of the basic version alone covers the talent measurement methods for most mainstream cultivation skills. It consumes very few resources and its accuracy reaches 97.51%!
It is revised every year and new practice techniques are added.
It can be said that this "Guide to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation" covers the wisdom and efforts of countless practitioners from ancient times to the present, and is a true treasure of civilization.
Even Xu Xing, who heard about it after he came out of seclusion, went to look for it.
Of course, for Chi Jiuyu now, he only needs to consider how to use it, and he doesn’t need to specifically understand the meaning behind it.
"I'll arrange it for you after I get back from the mission."
"Oh."
Although it is a little different from what I expected, it sounds reasonable.
"Oh, Uncle Master, can we share some of the jar of wine you gave us with others?"
Xiao Xuanxuan seems to want some wine to study.
"Since it's all given to you, it's up to you to decide."
"oh oh!"
She thought that after all, it was brought back by her uncle from the Hehuan Sect, so she should ask her uncle first about this matter.
"Is there anything else?" Bie Xue Ning asked.
“…No.”
I originally wanted to beg my master to delete my video, but now is obviously not the right time.
"Then Master, Uncle Master, Aunt Zhao, I will take my leave now."
Chi Jiuyu bowed and then quickly turned and left.
As a person who never wastes time on internal issues, since the problem cannot be solved at the moment, I will just stop thinking about it!
After sleeping for thirteen days, she had to quickly prepare the supplies needed for this mission, and by the way, find out indirectly whether Xiao Zhao woke up naturally!
"..." Zhao Chengmeng was silent for a while, "Fellow Daoist Jianzun, this disciple is quite interesting."
He was unhappy just now, but after just a few words, he became lively again.
"Excuse me." Bie Xue Ning's tone remained calm.
This traitor's thinking is indeed very unconventional.
"That's a good thing." Zhao Chengmeng shook his head slightly, then stood up, "Then I won't bother you anymore."
Since Brother Jianzu has come, it would be redundant for her to stay...
So let’s go.
However, after not seeing Daoist Sword Master for so many years, he still looks so cold and aloof...
It is really hard to imagine that she is in a completely different state on the spiritual network.
"Fellow Daoist, walk slowly."
"Ah."
With a tap of the toes, the figure disappeared without any warning, leaving no trace.
……
……
After Zhao Chengmeng left, the hall remained quiet for a while.
"How are you going to prepare for the future, Junior Brother?"
It was Bie Xue Ning who broke the silence first.
"Are we still going to the Hehuan Sect?"
"Going to the Hehuan Sect again... the effect will probably not be great."
Xu Xing opened his hand and looked at his palm.
"In the past few days, I have found that the influence of Daowang on me is getting weaker and weaker. I am rarely affected by it now."
"Is 'Daowang' gradually weakening?"
"It can't be considered as weakening. If we regard 'Daowang' as an existence with a certain volume, its total volume has not changed at all."
Everything was just as he and Mei Zu had guessed.
The so-called "Daowang" itself is the manifestation of past karma, which is higher than many worldly things, but is unwilling to leave the world.
It is difficult to pursue transcendence without leaving the mundane world.
But there was one thing they didn't consider.
The level of True Immortal is an existence that defies common sense and is beyond cognition, and the Great Dao is just in the hands of the True Immortal.
After realizing the ultimate of the Tao, one can reach the gate of immortality. With the original intention of "not leaving the world", one can master the Tao and surpass the "ultimate of the Tao".
Such existence cannot be changed by any force or existence.
That's exactly what happened.
Now think about it, even if it was caused by his own karmic disasters in past lives, the impact it could have on him was extremely limited.
At most, it could only disrupt his thoughts when he wasn't paying attention. "'Where the catastrophe begins is when the source of the Tao sprouts'. Since returning from the Hehuan Sect, I have been able to feel this more and more clearly..."
Although he had done nothing, he could feel that the shadow of confusion and doubt that had covered his mind was gradually fading.
Or rather, he was adapting to this state...
Because of this, he also vaguely saw the expected goal, which is the next realm of the realm of holding the Tao -
Taoyuan.
"Of course, it is difficult for me to determine my current state, so I have to go to the Hehuan Sect and find Meizu to confirm it."
It is possible that Daowang has undergone some new changes.
The road of cultivation is long, and he is now at the forefront. There is only fog ahead, and he can only grope his way forward slowly.
"Don't worry, senior sister. I should be back soon this time." Xu Xing said softly.
Although the road ahead was confusing, he did not feel any pressure. After all, wasn't this how he had gotten through it before?
Bie Xuening paused and said, "Actually...if it's useful, you can stay for a while longer."
When she said this, her voice was even lower than usual.
Xu Xing smiled, but did not respond to her words. Instead, he said:
"Although the road ahead is not clear, I can sense part of it." Xu Xing's tone also became a little lower, "If I really reach that step, no matter what choice I make, it will bring some irreversible impact."
Now we can only see some scales and armor.
But it can still be seen that the Taoyuan True Immortal is no longer limited to the Taixuan Realm. It can be said that it is the source of the boundless chaotic sea and the great way of all heavens and worlds.
Therefore, whether choosing the previously derived "Kill Me and Transcend Method" or another method, it will bring some unpredictable changes to the Chaos Sea itself.
…………
It's evening.
Inner gate of the Sword Sect, starship maintenance area.
Chi Jiuyu crossed his legs and half leaned on the recliner where he used to rest. There was a glass of juice on the table next to him.
Since she was about to go on a mission, she packed up the drinks and sent them to Xiao Xuanxuan, then sent her own starship over for inspection.
However, she herself was obviously not paying much attention to it, and kept fiddling with her mobile phone in her hand.
Looks like he's chatting with someone.
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "So you don't know when you will return to the sect/curious"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "Hmm..."
This time she was so embarrassed that she changed the nickname of her social media account.
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "It was only when Sister Qianqian woke me up that I realized I had returned to the sect."
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "I think I said a lot of drunken words, which were recorded by Xiao Ye"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "/Desperate and crying salted fish"
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Ah? That's too much!!!"
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "/Indignation"
Chi Jiuyu replied with a smile.
Sure enough, Xiao Zhao did not wake up naturally, but was woken up by someone else!
Hey!
Our Jiuyu Ancestor is still better!
At the same time, he secretly made a decision in his heart that he would ask Xiao Ye to send him a copy of the video later!
Well done, Xiaoye!
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "I heard she also recorded your video"
Ok? !
Chi Jiuyu sat up suddenly.
The damn Xiaoye actually took advantage of the situation!
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "When I come back from the mission, we will go find her and ask for her back/Angry"
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "/The little yellow duck licking blood from the tip of the knife"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: “/Nod”
Damn Xiaoye, this is really too much!
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "Mission?"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "You're going on a mission right after you woke up?"
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "I accepted this task after the competition, and I can't change people at the last minute."
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Although I have slept for more than ten days, I feel that I am in a much better condition!"
Although the aftereffect of the wine given by my uncle-master was a bit strong, the effect was truly amazing.
I was in a coma for more than ten days after drinking a glass of wine, but after waking up, I not only didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, but I felt refreshed.
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "Me too, my magic power has even increased"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "By the way, what mission did you take? It's been more than ten days and there's no extension yet?"
Chi Jiuyu bit the straw, drank a sip of juice, and then lay down again.
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "Investigating conflicts among alien races in the starry sky and maintaining the stability of starry sky routes is a very boring task/spreading hands"
Autistic Xiao Zhao: "Are your mission targets the alien races on the fourth, sixth, and seventh planets of the Guiling thirty-seventh planetary system in the Fuling star system in the southern star region?"
The future leader of the Sword Sect: "How do you know?"
Soon, Chi Jiuyu felt his cell phone ringing.
['Autistic Xiao Zhao' sent a video call invitation, answer/reject]
Ok?
You called me specially?
Chi Jiuyu leaned back and chose to answer the call.
As the picture changed, Zhao Ruohan appeared on the phone screen.
Next to her, you can see a pot of spiritual plant of unknown origin.
"What's wrong, Xiao Zhao? Is there something strange about this task that requires a special video call?" Chi Jiuyu asked casually.
"If I remember correctly, you should be the third investigator."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"..." Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips, and then explained, "The Fuling Galaxy is a star field under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Dao Sect. When the alien races on those three planets broke out in conflict, according to relevant regulations, the Supreme Dao Sect sent the first investigator."
"I know."
She had already seen this in the task attachment.
"But he didn't find anything, you know what I mean."
Although Chi Jiuyu is usually a bit naughty, he is actually a very perceptive person.
At this moment, when Zhao Ruohan reminded him, he immediately figured out the key.
"So, he doesn't want the subsequent investigation to cause problems in the investigation?"
Although there is no accountability and punishment mechanism for this type of task.
However, if you fail to find out the problem yourself, but it is found out by others later, it will always leave people with the impression that you are "incompetent" and "lacking in ability".
Therefore, other people can't investigate the problem.
"Ah."
To Zhao Ruohan's surprise, after hearing his confirmation, Chi Jiuyu sat up excitedly.
"What's that guy's background? Is he your father... Senior Hongzun's disciple?!"
She could already feel the overwhelming darkness approaching her.
And I am the first ray of light that pierces the darkness!
Zhao Ruohan: “…”
"No." She had no idea what Chi Jiuyu was so excited about. "But the True Lord Fu Ling who guards the Fu Ling Star System is the second grandfather of the First Investigator."
"Oh."
The excitement on Chi Jiuyu's face disappeared and he lay down again.
"..." Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips, "Better be careful, this mission shouldn't be easy."
Normally, a mission like this would be completed after two or three immortal sects had conducted an investigation.
But this time, except for the Longxiang Qingtian Sect which did not participate, the other immortal sects were all preparing to arrange investigators to go.
"It's alright."
Chi Jiuyu quietly kept Zhao Ruohan's words in mind, but pretended to be calm and composed, as if everything was under control. (End of this chapter)
