The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 39: Jackdaw Immortal
The Black and White Academy, inside an immortal’s residence.

A cloud of gas quietly fell under the control of the immortal cultivators, who were none other than the Jackdaw Immortal and Ji Xiaoshan.

As soon as he entered the hall, the Crow Immortal walked very naturally to a bright yellow cushion placed in the center of the hall and sat down.

Ji Xiaoshan stood in the main hall, waiting obediently, with a calm gaze, gently looking at his master who looked like a young child in front of him.

"A few nights ago, a group of immortals and I saw that you could resonate with the words left by the Black and White Celestial Immortals and accept the Celestial Immortal inheritance. We thought you were very good. However, those who can accept the inheritance are all powerful in spirit and soul, and their Taoism is firm and pure, which can also prove your excellence."

The Jackdaw Immortal, who was sitting on the futon, looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said in a deep voice, "Today I accept you as my disciple. You must be modest and calm, and practice well. Only then can you live up to the expectations of the immortals in my Black and White Academy."

"Yes, disciple will definitely keep it in mind!" Ji Xiaoshan said respectfully.

"Well. Although you have realized the way of swordsmanship at an early stage and have made extraordinary achievements, it does not affect your understanding of the nine chapters of the wooden ruler. The unique skills of the Black and White Celestial Immortal are also extremely mysterious. There are also similarities between swordsmanship and ruler skills."

The Jackdaw Immortal continued, "I have also read the first five chapters of the Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler that are preserved in the Daoist Canon Hall of the Academy. When you have mastered this unique skill to a high level, you can use a sword as a ruler, or a ruler as a sword. Since you have inherited the legacy of our ancestors and have been taught the complete Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler, you should study it carefully. By learning by analogy, your understanding of the Dao of the Sword will be more beneficial."

Ji Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Yes, after I first got the nine chapters of the wooden ruler, I also studied it briefly and found that the ruler method and the sword method are quite similar. I then realized that the sword method and the ruler method have the same purpose, and it all depends on the person using it. "

"Haha, the fact that you have such insight proves that I, Jackdaw, have a good vision. That's right, the main path of immortal cultivators, such as the sword path you have realized, requires continuous in-depth research, but you can't just work in isolation. You should learn from the strengths of others, improve your horizons and experience, and by learning by analogy, your sword path can also make great progress." Taoist Jackdaw laughed, with admiration in his eyes.

"But, although you know that the use of skills is all in the mind, you can't lose your sense of proportion in your mind. The boundary between sword and ruler must be clearly grasped. Otherwise, in the end, the sword skills you practiced don't look like sword skills, and the ruler skills you practiced don't look like ruler skills. In the end, you learn a mixture of all kinds of things, which is putting the cart before the horse."

Ji Xiaoshan listened carefully to the instructions of Taoist Jackdaw. These were the kind of earnest teachings he had not experienced in many years.

"Okay, I will remind you of the nine chapters of the wooden ruler today, so that a seed can be left in your heart, and it will blossom and bear fruit one day." The Crow Immortal smiled, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

“Bi Hai should have told you that, besides Bi Hai, the only ones who know that you possess the complete nine chapters of the wooden ruler are us, the immortals in the academy, so you must not reveal even a single bit of it to anyone else.” The Crow Immortal warned.

"Disciple understands." Ji Xiaoshan said respectfully.

"You have read the booklet that was distributed when you entered the academy, right?"

"I have already read it all."

"Okay, all the rules of my Black and White Academy are in the booklet, so I won't say more." Taoist Jackdaw pondered for a moment, then continued, "All the methods, divine and demonic body-refining skills, and all the top secret techniques in my Black and White Academy require the black and white pills in exchange. I'm sure you know this after reading the booklet."

"You have just entered my Black and White Academy, so you can get the most basic 1,000 Black and White Pills for beginners."

"You have a way to reach the realm of Dao, and you can get a thousand black and white pills as a reward."

"You have comprehended the true meaning of the sword. Anyone in the academy who comprehends the true meaning of the great way will be rewarded with 2,000 black and white pills."

"Has your soul reached the level of spiritual consciousness?" Taoist Jackdaw asked again.

"Spiritual consciousness? My soul is still at the level of divine consciousness, but after reading the words left by the immortals of previous generations, I feel that my soul is clearer and my heart of Taoism is purer. I should be reaching the level of divine consciousness soon." Ji Xiaoshan explained to the Jackdaw Immortal. "It's still only at the level of divine consciousness? That's a bit strange. Generally, the soul must reach the level of divine consciousness to resonate with the immortals' words and bear the immortals' inheritance."

"Under normal circumstances, does it have to be possible for the soul to reach the level of spiritual consciousness?" Ji Xiaoshan asked.

“Generally speaking, it is a huge burden on the soul to be able to fully accept the inheritance left by an immortal, not to mention the inheritance of an old immortal. It is quite rare to be able to accept the unique skills passed down by an immortal at the level of spiritual consciousness. But you don’t have to worry. There have been many such things in the history of my Black and White Academy.” The Crow Immortal comforted Ji Xiaoshan when he saw him asking.

"Oh?!" Ji Xiaoshan sensed the dark shadow of the wooden ruler in his sea of ​​consciousness and thought secretly, "This method and technique are carried in the form of a shadow, which is definitely a special case."

The Jackdaw Immortal shook his head and stopped thinking about it. "Your soul has not reached the level of Divine Consciousness, so you have lost the reward of 2,000 Black and White Pills. But even if you have only reached the level of Divine Consciousness, you can still get 1,000 Black and White Pills as a reward from the academy."

Taoist Jackdaw continued, "You have inherited the complete Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler. In order to conceal it when you use it in the future, I will personally give you a Black and White Pill. In exchange for the first half of the Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler in the academy, the total is 6,500 Black and White Pills."

"Six thousand five hundred black and white pills?" Ji Xiaoshan was a little surprised, and even wanted to urgently exchange the entire set of immortal skills for the black and white pills in the academy.

The first half of this volume alone is worth two thousand five hundred black and white pills. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a method passed down by a celestial being.

Unfortunately, it was just thought. The Black and White Immortals could only preserve the first five chapters in the form of secret books. As a Purple Mansion cultivator, he did not have the ability to put his ideas into practice.

"Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you. Go! Go directly to the Daozang Hall to get the black and white pills and the Yuanye. I've already said hello to the disciples guarding the Daozang Hall, so you can go directly." Immortal Jackdaw seemed to be relieved. "By the way, you can choose various magical secrets there. Remember to choose at least one immortal-level method. It will be beneficial to your practice. If you have any questions, you can come to the mansion to find me directly."

"Yes." Ji Xiaoshan bowed respectfully, then stepped back and walked out of the hall.

"I'm used to practicing in seclusion. I haven't taught a disciple for a long time. It's a bit uncomfortable to suddenly accept a disciple."

Ji Xiaoshan was about to leave the gate of Jackdaw Immortal's residence, but he vaguely heard an inaudible sound coming from behind him, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

“This Master…” He shook his head and flew towards the Daozang Hall.

I can’t write the third chapter today. I feel like my head is going to explode.

The update is expected to be a little late tomorrow, but it should be fine. Thanks for the support brothers!
Brothers, please send out the Easter egg chapters. If the quality is good, I think I will get a Qidian Coin reward for the first five times I flip the cards.

At noon, I suddenly thought about using Wanjian, which was provided by a book friend, as my Taoist name. The chapters had already been published, but I was reminded that it was a bit casual and I accidentally exposed the fact that I paid for the name.

I just thought about it for a long time and decided to change it to Qingping. Qingping Sword Immortal sounds better than Wanjianxian. Qingping is also the biggest pendant of Tongtian Sect Master in the Investiture of the Gods, except for the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Qingping Sword.

Haha, let me explain to my brothers and sisters. After all, you can’t regret your move. It’s not a good idea to always change your name.

Fortunately, I only mentioned the Taoist number 38, so it’s still in time.

It’s just right that I can take on the opportunity of the Three Pure Ones later.

Please continue reading!
