Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1515: The Golden Elixir Road
"So, have you made up your mind?" Shangluo said as he drank the chicken soup. "How about you guys decide who will pay for this meal first?"

The two had been confronting each other for a while. Since even Turing No. 2 didn't dare to stop the fight, Shangluo was also thinking about what to do.

But apart from anything else, the chicken soup here is really good, and he has been drinking it for quite a while. This dish, called "Changbai Mountain Ginseng Chicken Soup", although I don't know what it has to do with Changbai Mountain, at least it has a strong ginseng and chicken flavor.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable to eat such a tonic so early in the morning - after all, he was not Yuan Datou, chewing ginseng like potato chips - but his body was still good and he could tolerate the tonic. Even if he ate this chicken soup, he would not have a nosebleed.

Is the Imperial Palace a sect or a department? Regarding this point, the two people in front of them knew that they could not determine the winner without turning over the table.

Even if we turn the table over now, things will be difficult to handle.

Because unlike Fu Yuanshan who ascended from the Fuyuan Dao, Lu Huaiyang ascended from the "Lei Lang Tian Jing" of the Imperial Palace. Fu Yuanshan was not from the Imperial Palace, and the Fuyuan Dao cultivation did not rely on any scriptures. He cultivated the unique skills taught by Sa Shoujian Sa Tianshi himself - this unique skill could not be learned by ordinary people, and it did not include the cultivation that other thunder cultivators had in the process of cultivation.

Therefore, only the practitioner of Fuyuan Dao knows what kind of combat effectiveness he can exert.

Shangluo had seen many good things on Fu Yuanshan. For example, the sandbag that Shangluo often used to experience life was taken from Fu Yuanshan.

But can Fu Yuanshan really fight with Lei Xiu of the Palace at close range?
Shang Luo really didn't know, because he hadn't seen the real fight between the gods so far. But Phaethon had a sparring match with Fu Yuanshan after he got back the Spear of the Sun God, and Fu Yuanshan gave Phaethon a high evaluation. But because the two of them couldn't really fight to the death in the competition, the specific performance still depended on where they planned to stop.

And now, the distance between Fu Yuanshan and Lu Huaiyang is only one body length.

If these two people fight.
"I'll treat you today." Lu Huaiyang suddenly spoke.

"Hello, you are so cruel." Fu Yuanshan said nothing. He couldn't refuse someone's invitation. Since Lu Huaiyang was willing to pay for the meal, at least he wouldn't say anything at the table.

"Well, Captain Lu, let's talk about the Golden Core Stage."

[Wow! He really accepted this title. It turns out he is so easy to deal with. All we have to do is treat him to a meal.]

"When someone treats you, you should be soft-hearted. If someone treats you, you shouldn't go against the host at the dinner table. He naturally knows that."

But this only takes a meal. Whatever happens after the meal is their own business.

"Then, Shangluo, what do you think?" Lu Huaiyang asked Shangluo first. He thought Shangluo had always been able to do it.

Looking back, there were actually many strange things about Shangluo - was his cultivation really cultivation?

In theory, cultivation is just a manifestation of the level of strength. And the level of strength is the result of accumulated strength.

In other words, only when one has enough power can one achieve the state of a celestial being. But to become a celestial being, it seems that one does not necessarily need to practice a certain technique desperately.

Another example was right in front of them. Fu Yuanshan had never properly practiced any martial arts - Fuyuan Dao was not a martial arts method, but a path.

But even if you practice the Way of Fortune, it takes time. Fu Yuanshan's practice was not very fast, and he was promoted at a similar age to other celestial beings. According to seniority, he was considered the oldest among Lu Huaiyang's master.

Shang Luo showed a completely different state: his cultivation base grew so fast that it was unreasonable. He almost reached the Heavenly Man stage at a rocket-like speed, and he was already in the perfect state of the Heavenly Man stage. He could be promoted to the Golden Core stage at any time, but he had not yet found a way to reach the Golden Core stage.

"By the way, how did Shangluo get promoted?" Fu Yuanshan asked. "I've heard some rumors, but I didn't follow Shangluo throughout the whole process, so I don't know the specific details. Xiao Lu. Captain Lu, you know about it, right?"

"It's actually hard to say. Shangluo, can you tell me this?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Senior Fu, the rumors you heard are probably basically true - I was able to achieve the level of a celestial being because by chance, someone exchanged their own level of cultivation for me."

This person is Phaethon. Of course, because Phaethon emptied himself in the process, he was able to clean up the house and then invite guests, and then go on his own path of cultivation, which is another matter.

In this process, the help of Daozu is indispensable. Because the conversion of power is certainly not as easy as from brown rice to rice. This is a change like directly turning rice into soybeans. Rice and soybeans are not even close.

Under the personal manipulation of Daozu, the two originally unrelated forces came together, so that the matter was perfectly resolved: Shangluo obtained the pure power after processing, and Phaethon was stripped of his limited power and obtained a pure body.

This process, of course, cannot be disclosed to the outside world. The question is, why can such power be obtained by Shangluo?
This is as convenient as ascending to heaven on the spot.

"I roughly understand." Fu Yuanshan nodded, "How about we talk about another thing - I heard that Shangluo has shown outstanding talent before?"

"That's true." Lu Huaiyang nodded, "When we first met Shangluo, he had a talent that could sense creation."

"What are the specific manifestations?"

"He could fix a lot of things - he didn't seem to understand why, but he could fix them."

"Then can we understand it this way - Shangluo actually knows everything. He knows in advance how to repair these things, but he doesn't know that he knows. His self-awareness cannot cover the almost infinite knowledge in his mind, so he can only show such a limited consciousness at the moment."

This is like a bottle of salad dressing. No matter how much salad dressing there is, it can only squeeze out a little bit from the bottle mouth. The speed at which the salad dressing is squeezed out depends on the size of the bottle mouth. Although Shangluo has endless knowledge in his mind, his current cultivation level is not enough to bring it into play - this is generally believed in Taoism.

In fact, Taoism believes that all people have this consciousness, which is why many ways of cultivation seek harmony inward rather than outward. Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world, and when it is affirmed that humans can practice cultivation, it usually implies the idea that "humans are the answer to everything."

"Am I that powerful?"

[Is he that powerful? ]

"Of course I have." Fu Yuanshan replied, "A truly strong person doesn't need to practice. This is what it means to be born with knowledge. Look at the ancient myths of Kuafu and Houyi. Have you ever seen them practice any kind of skills? There isn't any. You seem to be one of those people who are born with knowledge. Things like skills are just a means for you. Your true strength seems to be innate."

"But if I have so much knowledge, but my test scores are not that 'genius'." When Shangluo took the entrance exam, he did spend a lot of time learning those subjects - of course, he did well in the end. It's just that when he was studying, he didn't just write in. Because of some habit, he had to delete some of the past knowledge and then write in the knowledge of this world line.

The most difficult part at that time was math problems. Because the "mathematical languages" on both sides were different, everything from mathematical symbols to formulas were written differently. Because the mathematical symbols on the Daimyo side were in a "vertical" format, they were not written line by line from left to right, but from right to left and from top to bottom. Writing them was like drawing runes, and to those who couldn't understand them, they were indeed similar to talisman paper.

Fortunately, although the mathematical languages ​​of the two sides are different, the principles are the same. As long as Shangluo completes the conversion of mathematical language, he can complete the conversion of mathematical scores - with the original knowledge and the reaction speed of heaven, it is no problem to improve the score to the level of the excellent tribute student of the Imperial College.

Of course, the fact that he was finally admitted to school through the channel of Yingongsheng is another matter.

"But Senior Fu, I don't seem to have realized how much knowledge I have during this process."

"That's the problem. Xiao Lu. Uh. Captain Lu, you recite that part to him."

He still suppressed his desire to call Xiao Lu. For this meal, he still called Lu Qianhu.

"Which part?" Lu Huaiyang glanced at him.

"I don't know which part. I haven't studied the Five Thunder Method seriously, but you know which part you should be hit by. It's the part where you do it intentionally or unintentionally."

"Oh wait, let me think about it." Lu Huaiyang began to rack his brains, exhausting all his life's knowledge, and finally did not embarrass himself in front of two people who were not learned but had skills:

"It should be the secret of thunder magic in the "Dao Fa Hui Yuan·Volume 77". It's recited like this - the beginning is very long, I'll start from the key point: "I can be sensitive, and the Thunder God is responsive. One sensitivity and one response, a thousand certainties, a thousand certainties. If you have the intention to sense the God, the God will not respond. If you have no intention to sense, the response will be like an echo. If you have no doubt, your heart will be right, and if your heart is right, the magic will be effective. If you keep one thing, your mind will be focused, and if your mind is focused, the magic will be effective."

"It's right here." Fu Yuanshan nodded, "The most crucial sentence is: if you have a mind to feel God, God will not respond. If you feel without a mind, the response will be like an echo. When you answer questions in an exam, you are mindful. When you take a hammer and knock around, you are careless. If you have a mind, you will have doubts, and God will not respond. If you have no mind, you will have no doubts, and the response will be like an echo. So - if you have no doubts, your mind will be right, if your mind is right, the law will be effective, if you keep one thing, your mind will be focused, and if your mind is focused, the law will be effective."

"Ah," Shangluo touched his forehead, "So when I don't know anything, I can do it. When I know everything, I can't do it? Forgotten means not forgotten, not forgotten means forgotten?"

"That's the truth."

Shangluo patted his head. Shangluo had gotten himself into a loop in this passage. But among the twists and turns, there was a real truth.

It is impossible to control infinite knowledge with limited consciousness. Only the infinite can control the infinite.

All kinds of Taoism believe that everyone is a treasure house, but the types of treasure houses are different. The true Tao must be sought within, through contemplation and meditation. One must first know what one is, and then one can know where one's destiny lies.

This is the problem that Wudang Mountain solves - the matter of the "Blood Sutra" had caused a lot of controversy during the Jiajing period, because the original work of Taoist Sanfeng could illustrate these principles.

"So, Senior Fu, what should I do?"

"Theoretically, there is a higher level - it doesn't matter if you do it intentionally or not. Although Wudang Mountain also says 'forget and you will know it', it doesn't mean you should deliberately forget all the moves. Otherwise, wouldn't you be most powerful when you don't listen? Wudang Mountain emphasizes this integration. You have to forget the moves on the basis of 'knowing', so that no moves can beat moves. The premise of no moves is not nothing, but precisely having."

"So, do I have to go to Wudang Mountain to break through this level?"

"I think that should be the case." Fu Yuanshan nodded, "Are you free recently?"

"I just recently became free. Since the affairs in Kinei have been settled, the experiments can proceed as planned. In the Roman Empire, the Night Shift Bureau is also taking over my work. In many ways, I have only recently become free - but if I had known that I had to go to Wudang Mountain to get promoted, I would have gone there a long time ago."

"Alas." Fu Yuanshan waved his hand. "Each link is indispensable. If you abandon what you should do and focus on your own cultivation, I am afraid you will not be able to practice even if you go to Wudang Mountain. Because at that time, your mind will not be able to calm down. If you are still thinking about many other things at that time, you will not be able to calm down."

"So that's how it is." Shangluo drank a mouthful of chicken soup. Even he felt that he needed to replenish his body after thinking about it just now.

【Think carefully. This seems to be true. The power of the Qi training stage is mostly similar, but in the foundation building stage, each has its own route. In the Jindan stage, there is almost no pattern to follow, which is why you are meeting here. Now that I think about it, the power of the Jindan stage seems to focus more on exploring one's original talent than external objects. Do you know it or not? When you go to Wudang Mountain, you should be able to understand it.】

"So, I'm going to look for Master Sanfeng now, remember this." He picked up the phone - and was stunned for a moment.

[What's wrong? Let me see. Wait, why is Sanfeng Tianshi nearby? Is he here for a meeting? He...he can't be here for a meal, right?]

"Not really. Ah! Master Sa is here too. They really are having a meeting nearby."
