Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 317 Lu Yuanxiu

"You don't have to worry about Zhou Zhangyuan, I will chat with Zhao Xiaoyou alone for a while."

Lu Yuanxiu glanced at Zhao Lin as he spoke, strode back to the Lingdao Academy, chose a quiet room at random, opened the door and walked in.

Zhao Lin didn't rush to follow, but saluted Zhou Zhangyuan and Elder Nie: "Director Zhou, elder."

"Go, it's a rare opportunity."

Zhou Hongfang nodded and said with a smile, thinking that this disciple practiced hard and handled things decently, and he might become a master within 20 years.

"Yes."

Zhao Lin agreed, and walked quickly into the quiet room.

"sit down."

Lu Yuanxiu sat down in the middle with a golden sword on his horse, stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Lin to sit over, and said, "I have been out of the state for the past two years and rarely come back. I didn't expect another martial artist to emerge from the Lingdao Academy."

"What's the situation in the sect now, let's hear it."

Zhao Lin knew that the sect Lu Yuanxiu was talking about referred to the Xingyun Sect in the mortal world, so he pondered for a while and explained the current situation of Dayue and Xingyun Sect.

"Suppressed the four leaders?"

Hearing that Zhao Lin won the championship for four times in a row, Lu Yuanxiu couldn't help but gasped, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

However, he also knew that it was impossible for Zhao Lin to deceive himself on this matter, so he couldn't help but sighed: "It's really talented people from generation to generation! The old man won the top two times back then, and I have always been proud of it. I didn't expect you to turn over times."

"Such a feat is not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented."

Zhao Lin said modestly: "Senior is too famous, in fact, this disciple is able to achieve this, but also thanks to the legacy of senior."

Lu Yuanxiu was slightly taken aback, "What should I say about my legacy?"

Zhao Lin stood up, took a few steps back, and punched out a Tianshuang fist.

The strength of the fist was cold, stirring up a stream of cold white smoke.

This fist was created by Lu Yuanxiu, and Zhao Lin deliberately used it in front of him. Lu Yuanxiu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Good fist!"

As soon as this fist was released, the distance between the two of them was shortened again. Lu Yuanxiu was also a man of temperament, so he directly pulled Zhao Lin's arm and asked him to sit beside him.

"How did you become Wu Zong? Tell me the details."

"Yes."

Zhao Lin sorted out his train of thought, and told the story of himself starting from entering Liuhemen in Qinghe County, all the way to entering Xingyunzong, cultivating to the blood level, participating in the martial arts competition, and breaking through to become Wuzong.

"You are very good, very appetizing to the old man."

Appreciation flashed in Lu Yuanxiu's eyes after hearing this, "You practice hard in Lingdao Academy, and when your training period is over, you can come to Wangdong County to find me."

"Thank you senior!"

Zhao Lin was overjoyed. There are seven counties in Nanhe Prefecture, and Wangdong County is the largest of them, and it is also the state capital. Being able to work there has a much higher starting point than other counties.

"There are very few martial artists in the sect, so they should take care of each other."

Lu Yuanxiu said casually, and then changed the topic, "Wuxiu is a different type among monks. Tell me about your understanding of Wuxiu and how to plan your own path of practice."

Zhao Lin knew that he was testing himself, and his heart tightened. Fortunately, he has been thinking about how to practice, and he has a rough idea.

"Senior Lu, this junior thinks that the biggest difference between martial arts and dharma cultivation lies in the order of cultivation. Dharma cultivation only cuts hairs and washes the marrow when it breaks through to foundation establishment, while martial arts is completed before opening the veins."

"That's why martial arts are full of qi and blood, the meridians and spirit orifices are broad and strong, and can accommodate more spiritual energy."

"The advantage lies in close combat, and at the same level, our mana is stronger."

Lu Yuanxiu nodded, "This is the advantage, what about the disadvantage?"

Zhao Lin continued: "The disadvantage is that the meridians and acupoints are solidified, and it is difficult to break through the realm."

"This is one of the disadvantages. Another disadvantage is age. Most of the Dharma practitioners enter the sect around the age of 15, and our martial arts are more than twice as old as them. We can't practice step by step like them. We must speed up."

Lu Yuanxiu nodded, "It seems that you have really thought about it deeply."

"That's right, I waited for Wuxiu to overcome obstacles all the way to Wuzong in the mortal world, but in the end I have to stand at the same starting point as these dolls, and the difficulty of cultivation is even higher."

"You just said that you must speed up your practice, how can you speed up?"

Zhao Lin thought for a while, and replied: "Practice Taoism, earn good deeds of pills, and at the same time accept more missions from sects to get extra rewards."

Lu Yuanxiu frowned slightly, "The direction is right, but it's too general. How many good deeds can Daoyi earn? By the way, what kind of Daoyi did you choose?"

Zhao Lindao: "Formation."

Lu Yuanxiu was noncommittal, "The formation is good. Do you know which martial art I chose back then?"

"The younger generation doesn't know."

"I didn't choose a single martial art!"

Zhao Lin was very surprised and didn't know what to say.

Lu Yuanxiu smiled slightly, "Taoism is optional rather than compulsory, why must it be practiced?"

"In the Qi refining stage, every inch of light is precious, and all of it is used to practice and earn good deeds, and then exchange good deeds for precious pills. This method seems radical, but it is the most suitable path for martial arts."

"When you reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, your lifespan will be doubled, and you will have a lot of time to practice Taoism."

"Of course, the sect's arrangement has its own reasons, but it may not be suitable for everyone. We are martial arts, so we don't have so much time to waste."

Hearing this, Zhao Lin felt as if he was enlightened. He was still too cautious. In fact, he had vaguely thought about this way, but it was not very clear. Lu Yuanxiu clarified the matter with a few words.

Lu Yuanxiu stretched out his palm, "Bring me your jade slip."

The jade slips are important items, and Zhao Lin carried them with him all the time. According to his words, he took out two jade slips, one red and one green.

The red jade slip is the body stone, which is equivalent to the file of the monk, and the important events of the monk in the sect are recorded in it.

The cyan jade slip is for personal records, and Zhao Lin only records some practice experience in it.

Lu Yuanxiu picked up the body stone and sank into his spiritual consciousness to sweep it away. He was a little surprised and said, "You have 160 good deeds, why don't you use them?"

Zhao Lindao: "The junior wants to save up for a while..."

"inappropriate!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuanxiu interrupted directly: "Your cultivation base is not high now, and the speed of accumulating good deeds is very slow, and it will become less and less valuable in the future."

"Because as your cultivation level increases, it becomes easier for you to obtain good deeds."

"Let's use an analogy. You are a buddy who earns twenty copper coins a month. In order to save money, you are reluctant to eat or wear clothes. You have been living a hard life."

"After ten years, you have become a big clerk, even a shopkeeper, earning five taels of silver a month. May I ask, is the hundred and ten copper coins you saved at the beginning meaningful?"

"It's better to use it for doing business and learning arts. Even if you don't buy meat to eat, you can get a good body in exchange."

"What I'm talking about is the truth. The world situation may not necessarily be like this, but you must take a long-term perspective in your practice."

Having said that, he paused for a moment and said meaningfully: "Good deeds can only be done if they are used!"

"Otherwise, even if you have accumulated 1 meritorious deeds, but you are nearly fifty years old, and your cultivation is still at the seventh level of Qi Refining, what's the use of getting Foundation Establishment Pills?"
