Chapter 1020: Persuading the Three Pure Ones
After Yuqing and Shangqing each expressed their own ideas, they looked at each other. Neither of them was convinced by the other, and both felt that what the other said was extremely absurd. They then looked at Taiqing.

"What do you think, brother?"

"Wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Let nature take its course and wait for it to let go of its obsession."

Yuqing and Shangqing were secretly shaking their heads, thinking that their eldest brother's ideas were too negative. They looked at Deng Chanyu. Yuqing's expression was a little arrogant, which meant that you have to tell us what you think, otherwise you are not worthy of sitting with us.

Deng Chanyu pondered for a moment and said, "There is no discrimination in education. Use education to tame the tiger within you."

Her statement was consistent with Shangqing's thoughts. Shangqing had just smiled when Deng Chanyu changed the subject.

"Teaching without distinction does not mean lenient admission and lenient graduation, but rather teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. The emphasis is on 'teaching without distinction', not on 'no distinction'. I advocate lenient admission and strict graduation."

Yuqing and Shangqing both frowned.

"Teaching without distinction" is the core idea of ​​Shangqing's series of propositions, and "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" is Yuqing's fundamental idea. Deng Chanyu's statement seems to combine the views of the two, but in fact it is completely different from their views.

Neither Yuqing nor Shangqing believed that such a policy of teaching all without discrimination could be implemented. To put it bluntly, it was too idealistic, and the current environment simply did not allow it to be done.

Teaching without discrimination? Hundreds and thousands of students come here. How many teachers do you need to meet the requirements of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude?
Not realistic at all.

Taiqing ignored his two brothers who were shaking their heads and asked, "The tiger in the mountains and the tiger in my heart have been tamed. What's next? What disasters will this world face?"

Deng Chanyu pointed to the sky, then to the ground: "If I can still teach the tiger in my heart, then I really can't do anything about the tiger of heaven and earth. There are demons in the sky and nightmares in the earth. It is too difficult to deal with this tiger. It is simply impossible!"

Her tone became slightly more agitated, and Shangqing took the bait. He glanced towards the sky with disdain: "It's not worth mentioning. A single sword strike can overturn this world."

"That's not right. If this world is damaged, wouldn't that add to the guilt?"

Shang Qing was full of arrogance and said carelessly: "At worst, I can refine the earth, fire, water and wind again!"

Deng Chanyu immediately flattered him, "What a hero! If you're willing to help, then you and I can split up. I'll refine the fire and water, and you'll be in charge of refining the earth and wind. Together, we can refine the earth, fire, water, and wind, bringing peace back to this world and completely taming this tiger of heaven and earth. How do you think?"

Shangqing: "???"

I was just bragging casually, how come I'm already at the stage of formal work?

He wanted to refuse, but the words were already out. His pride wouldn't let him go back on his word. What could he do? This world was quite large. Could they re-refine earth, fire, water, and wind with just the two of them? His current abilities seemed a little lacking.

He had no confidence at all.

Taiqing looked like he was watching the fun, smiling but saying nothing.

Instead, Yuqing sneered, "Fellow Daoist Lin is really calculating. Just a few words and you want me to do such a big thing for you? I'm not that stupid."

Shangqing was a little unhappy. Wasn't this saying that he was stupid? He wanted to refute it, but he didn't want to go through the trouble of refining the earth, fire, water and wind, so he could only pretend not to hear.

Deng Chanyu wasn't surprised by Yuqing's questioning; she had been prepared. "Cultivating the Dao begins with cultivating the mind. If you reject my invitation today, you might experience mental blockages in the future. Remember, opportunities never come easily. Let me tell you a story."
My teacher once asked me, "Is the sky big?" I said, "Yes, it is." My teacher then asked, "Are leaves big?" I said, "Not really."

My teacher asked me, "Can the sky block people's eyes?" I said no. The teacher then asked, "Can leaves block people's eyes?" I said yes. "Fellow Daoist, what's blocking your sight right now is just a small leaf."

Yuqing stared at her, clearly understanding the true meaning of her words, "Opportunities are rare, never to be missed." He hesitated. Was this re-refining of earth, fire, water, and wind a test from Heaven? If he refused, would there be a cascade of consequences? Would he lose the entire sky for a tiny "leaf"?
The originally firm idea suddenly became anxious and worried.

Deng Chanyu understood this mentality all too well; she was currently caught in this vicious cycle. Moving forward was terrifying, unsure of what enemies lay ahead; retreating was even more terrifying, fearing she would miss out on a hundred million yuan.

Although Yuqing didn't say whether he would take action, he no longer objected.

Sanqing took care of two of them.

Deng Chanyu looked at Taiqing who was silent.

"How are you planning to convince me, young Taoist friend? I am but a fragment of this world's past. If I help you refine the earth, fire, water, and wind again, the traces of our existence will soon be gone."

The moment he opened his mouth, Yuqing, Shangqing, the inn arranged by Deng Chanyu, and the Qiongqi that was baring its fangs and claws in the distance all fell into a strange state of stillness.

Deng Chanyu hurriedly looked around and found that the long river of time had not returned, and the spatial structure was as stable as before, without any abnormalities. However, Taiqing found a flaw right under her nose, and now he had escaped from her area called spatial plane, which was actually a spatial prison.

What a trick! She was very sure that Taiqing was not walking on the Great Path of Space, but this person was able to draw inferences from other things and had seen through some of the mysteries of the Great Path of Space. His comprehension was truly extraordinary.

This variable was something she had not thought of before. All the arguments she had originally prepared to deal with Taiqing were invalid, and she could only think of new conditions.

After weighing several thoughts, she immediately threw out her chips: "I owe them a favor."

Taiqing knew that he was a mirror image of the past, so there was no need to keep it secret about who he was or what kind of person he was, and it was impossible to keep it secret.

Deng Chanyu is only willing to owe favors to the teachers, and absolutely cannot owe favors to the saints.

Taiqing still looked like an expressionless old man, and nodded slightly: "Good."

Deng Chanyu and the Three Pure Ones reached an agreement that she would preside over the refining and the Three Pure Ones would be responsible for assisting.

She will extract all the fire-type spiritual energy from the Hongmeng world and be responsible for refining fire. The world after re-refining will also be dominated by fire.

Shangqing often said that Zhao Gongming was "similar to himself" and in fact he was indeed very "similar". At this time, this Daluo Jinxian was responsible for refining the wind.

Yuqing pointed his finger, indicating that he would come to refine water.

The last and most difficult task of refining the land was given to Taiqing.

Before the re-refining, Shangqing said that the next task would be more difficult and they needed to have a clear understanding of each other's strength before taking action.

What he meant was that he wanted to fight with Deng Chanyu.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Shangqing, go ahead and make your move. By the way, can I use my magic weapon?"

"Just use it!" Shang Qing was full of pride and didn't think she could come up with any powerful magic weapon.
