Tao and Heaven

Chapter 17: The best in the world, the best in the world

The first level in four days! ?

impossible!
Yu Hua didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he fell into a long silence. The biggest surprise was not shouting, but silence, only speechlessness.

She had seen many geniuses, including a Taoist who built a foundation in one day, a Buddhist who gained a golden body by bowing before the Buddha, a swordsman who killed a demon king with a sword at the age of sixteen, and a god who was born with a golden elixir.
There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, and Gu Wen is not the only one. But their shock was different from Gu Wen's. At least for her, who had been meditating on the edge of the cliff day and night, and had experienced countless winds and rains until her heart rate was exhausted, he had accomplished something that she could not achieve.

Gu Wen took his first step on the path to becoming an immortal, a path that countless powerful people cannot achieve in their entire lives.

Yet, he was abandoned by the sect with such talent and became a slave of the Zhao family!
At this moment, Yu Hua was no longer sighing about the unfairness of the world, the unreasonableness of the sect, and the immorality of the Zhao family, but he had a concern that he had never had before. If he grew up in the future, he would definitely be the enemy of the Three Pure Ones for taking away someone's opportunity.

Even she couldn't suppress this thought. If the donkey was here, she would have probably seen Gu Wen's body.

It’s because his talent, like the Jade Purity Heart Method, is the best in the world and the best in the world.

"you"

Yu Hua opened his thin lips slightly, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he didn't know what to say. Help him regain the opportunity?

But this was not something she could do now. She could only say solemnly and seriously: "Don't show your Yuqing Dao foundation to others, especially the donkey and the Zhao family around me, otherwise you will definitely die."

Gu Wen asked: "Why? Because I didn't rot in the mud as they wished, because I can stand up without relying on immortal fate?"

"This is how the world works. If you insist on telling the difference between good and evil, you need absolute strength, and you don't have it now."

Yu Hua could not deny the ugliness of the sect. Argumentation could not change the facts. She could only explain the seriousness of the situation to him.

"Your talent is considered top-notch in the world. If you join the Sanqing Sect, you may become the next leader, but my uncles will not allow you to exist. If you can let bygones be bygones, I can contact Master and ask Yuqing to send someone to take you into hiding."

Gu Wen had long anticipated that the conflict between himself and the Three Pure Ones was irreconcilable, but he couldn't help but smile because of the reminder from the goddess. He was not a good person, but he was definitely not annoying.

He shook his head and said, "Gu has no intention of hiding. I remember the fairy said that the Sanqing Dao Sect does not object to outsiders learning the Sanqing Dao method."

"You want me to teach you more of the Three Pure Ones instead of joining our sect?"

Gu Wen was blunt, and Yu Hua was also a smart man. This was a dangerous topic and test. It was almost impossible to let other sects go. If outsiders learned the skills of our sect, there was only one option except to destroy them.

But Yu Hua gave Gu Wen the Yuqing Heart Method for the first time, which was enough to show that the Sanqing Sect was more like a religion than a sect in the eyes of ordinary people.

Gu Wen was very short of Taoism, and it could even be said that he had no channels to access it. He did not dare to look for it in a high-profile manner, for fear of being discovered by the Zhao family.

Their eyes met and the atmosphere became silent.

"can."

Yu Hua actually nodded. Just as Gu Wen was about to thank him and promised to repay him generously in the future, the goddess in front of him said something shocking again: "Not only will I teach you the techniques that the Sanqing Sect allows to be passed on to outsiders, I can also teach you the techniques that are not allowed to be passed on to outsiders."

"Why?"

Gu Wen looked stunned. Yu Hua did not answer directly, but looked at him dimly and asked the same question: "How many days did it take you to complete the first level?"

Yu Hua was not stupid, and she had the divine power of listening, and had seen and heard too many human hearts. She could often see through the essence of things at a glance, but most of the time there was no need to expose them, and even less to correct them.

For example, the Taoist emperor wanted to use himself to establish a relationship with Grandmaster Qingcang, so he encouraged his descendants to pursue him, and the guardian beasts of the mountain accepted the benefits and spoke well of him.

These things are annoying to Yu Hua, but as long as they don't cross the line, he doesn't need to pay any attention to them.

From the time she gave Gu Wenyuqing the Heart Method to now, only four days had passed. During this period, he was not at home all day, and it was said that he stayed in the brothel at night...

He really is too playful and needs to be disciplined!
Although he still had Yuan Yang for some reason, he was so busy that he didn't have much time to practice. Gu Wen had to reduce the time he spent on building the foundation of Taoism by half in four days.

Two days, two days to master the Jade Purity Heart Technique. This is a genius comparable to the Taoist of Shangqing Sect! Moreover, he is a genius who has no one to rely on and has no power behind him!
The former is not important, there are countless geniuses in the world, and Tianjiao is never the only one. But the latter is extremely rare, she only needs to pay a little, and she may reap a million times the return in the future.

Gu Wen himself is already a great opportunity.

"When the disciple of Shangqing Sect entered the sect, he sat in meditation for a month before he could comprehend the foundation of Shangqing Dao. Even then, he was beaten to a bloody pulp by the True Lords of the three sects. Now you have been building the Dao in four days. If the news gets out, not only the Three Pure Ones, but also other Taoist sects will come to snatch you away."

Yu Hua looked at Gu Wen who had fallen into silence, and suddenly had a bad intention to play a trick on him, saying: "And the cause and effect between you and the Three Pure Ones Sect is enough to make the True Lords go against the destiny of this place and fight to the death to wipe you out."

"."

Gu Wen was speechless.

I'm already at the second level, what should I do? And I guess the third level isn't far away. Why is the quality of your Three Pure Ones Taoist disciples so low?
Yu Hua thought the other party was scared, so he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone inside."

Gu Wen regained his composure and said solemnly, "Fairy, thank you for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."

Showing your talent to win over the other party is just the beginning, and the most important thing is to promise benefits. The other party may not want them, but you can't not mention them. If you don't paint a rosy picture for others, how can they be willing to invest in you? Painting a rosy picture is an art.

Yu Hua hesitated and asked again and again: "Can you repay the karma between you and the Three Pure Ones Sect with this favor?"

After all, it is the sect that raised her, and she does not want those who have cultivated the Jade Purity Taoist foundation to fight with the Three Purities Sect.

Gu Wen grinned and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator. The Zhao family bullied me, and I just wanted the heads of the old emperor and Zhao Feng. There is no need for the fairy to repay the evil with kindness. I will never forget your kindness."

He is not easy to kill, and he will not be angry with others. Besides, if the favors between them are offset, how can he continue to ask for benefits?

Favors are also a bridge that brings people closer together.

"So good."

Yu Hua nodded happily.

Although she has no shortage of opportunities, she also has no shortage of manpower.

If necessary, she could mobilize the entire Sanqing Sect, and even the True Lord could help her. But these all required legitimate reasons and procedures, so she had no way to deal with the annoying harassment of the Zhao family.

Gu Wen's favor was unique to her.

"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me to the courtyard."

Gu Wen looked around and saw that everything was quiet. There were mostly textile factories in the weaving bureau nearby, and there were few people at night, so no one came. But there were guards on night watch and patrolling imperial guards.

In Daqian, only places like Longqiao are exempt from curfew; in other residential areas and factories, people are prohibited from moving around at night.
-
About an incense stick later, the two returned to the courtyard. Gu Wen looked at the completely collapsed door and curled his lips. Yu Hua said seriously, "I don't have the money to compensate you."

Are you so tough even though you have no money?
Gu Wen smiled and said, "It's just a door. There's no need for the fairy to compensate for it."

"I can compensate you with a pill. This is a heart-protecting pill. It can last as long as you have a breath."

Yu Hua took out a pill from his sleeve. Gu Wen quickly took it. The smile on his face suddenly became very sincere. He changed his words and said, "Of course, a fairy like you will definitely not let me..."

"Ok?"

"Let Gu suffer a loss."

I don’t know how much heavenly marrow this elixir contains.

Gu Wen was thinking in his mind, but he didn't plan to take any exercises. The life-saving function was more important than accelerating the practice.

The two of them entered the house.

The small courtyard house is simply decorated with a bed, a bookshelf with many miscellaneous books, a dining table, and an office desk and chairs.

The atmosphere was full of life, and it was obvious that he had stayed here longer than in the palace.

Yu Hua's nose twitched slightly. There was no strange smell in the air. Unlike the palace where the smell of rouge was everywhere, no women should come in on weekdays.

She saw many account books on the desk, and one roll of white paper stood out.

As Gu Wen poured the water, he said, "It's hard to always have hot water in my humble abode. Please forgive me, Fairy."

A glass of cold water was placed on the table. Yu Hua used her slender fingers to push aside the account book. The desk was very messy, with all kinds of papers mixed together. A line of incomplete sentences immediately caught her attention.

[This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant]

He has great literary talent and truly has lofty ambitions.

Yu Hua remained calm and looked up at the plain-clothed man in front of him. Not to mention the jade pendants and silver sachets on his body, even his clothes were only slightly better than those of ordinary people, and the style was extremely ordinary.

But such an ordinary person could build the Tao in four days and come up with the truth effortlessly.

It looks like weeds from the outside, but its roots are deep.

Yu Hua became more and more curious about how much he was hiding. He was only in his twenties, but he was like an old monk who had been meditating for a thousand years and never showed anything.

He is good at hiding his abilities, but will run away when encountering troubles. He is like a loach and a turtle, and is simply the legendary Xuanwu.

After joking for a while, Yu Hua looked at the plain-clothed man pouring water, his eyes fixed on his facial features which seemed to be quite decent now.

Uncle Huayang, it’s all your bad luck. You reap what you sow, and you have to swallow the bitter consequences.
