Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 169: Invitation to Join (Please subscribe, please vote)
Chengming Palace.

There is a saying on the path of spiritual practice.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

This is also a truth recognized by many people.

When you encounter problems on the path of spiritual practice, sometimes you don’t need to read many books. Just one or two words of advice from someone can resolve all the doubts in your heart.

This is the guidance from Gu Qianqiu. It benefited Shi Yi a lot and saved him a lot of time.

"Master, I would like to ask you about joining the inner sect."

"I just arrived at the inner courtyard, and an inner sect brother invited me to join the guild. However, I don't know much about the inner courtyard membership and am not sure whether I need to join."

"Before I started the transformation, I didn't think too much about it. I focused on it. Now that the transformation is complete, I would like to ask Master for some guidance."

Shi Yi looked at Gu Qianqiu in the distance and asked slowly.

With Gu Qianqiu's guidance on this trip, he had gained a lot, but he still wanted to ask Gu Qianqiu about matters related to joining the association.

The matter of joining the club is not that important, but what is important is that he came to ask for advice as soon as possible.

As for whether Gu Qianqiu gave him any guidance, that was not that important.

Getting along with others is a science.

"Join the inner courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianqiu repeated what Shi Yi said.

He did not answer directly, but fell into deep thought for a moment.

For him, this was a very long time ago.

With his current status, basically no one would ask him about this.

Joining the inner courtyard is very important for inner disciples, but for the top leaders of Taiyi Dao Sect, this kind of thing does not require their attention. What they care about is the training of outstanding disciples, elite disciples, core disciples and true disciples in the inner sect.

Among them, true disciples and high-ranking Taiyi Dao sect members like Gu Qianqiu will pay more attention and spend more energy on them.

"Most of the inner disciples in the inner courtyard have only reached the level of controlling things in their Daoist cultivation. Their overall combat power is not very strong. Therefore, when it comes to external affairs, it is difficult for one person to complete them. This is why they need to work together with others."

"Within the sect, completing tasks with acquaintances is more effective and safer. This is also the origin of the inner disciples forming small groups within the inner courtyard."

"After the sect's leadership learned of this, they didn't stop it. Instead, they allowed the inner disciples to unite. They even gave these small groups some extra mission rewards based on their performance. These rewards were based on the strength and potential of these small groups. The sect has its own set of evaluation methods."

"You performed very well during the entrance examination, which is why so many people want to invite you to join."

Gu Qianqiu said this and paused.

No matter where they are, geniuses are more worthy of attention and deserve more resources for cultivation.

"The path of Taoist cultivation, especially in the early stages, is one of low cultivation and weakness. One needs to unite with others in order to grow. This is how Taiyi Dao Sect was first established."

"With your current combat power, if you're interested, you can join the small group in the inner courtyard. You'll be able to meet more fellow disciples and gain many benefits. While communicating with others, you can also cultivate your mind."

"The path of Taoist cultivation is not one you walk alone. It's easier to move forward by joining forces with others. However, while you enjoy the benefits, you also have to pay some price and time. There's no such thing as a free lunch on the road of cultivation."

"Of course, this isn't absolute. It depends more on you personally. If you don't like joining, there's no need to force yourself to join."

"After all, joining the Inner Court is only useful within the Inner Court. Once you become an elite disciple, joining the court will be of no use to you!"

"There's no such thing as joining a small group within the major mountains!"

"The inner courtyard is within the Taiyi Dao Sect and is also a very special area."

Gu Qianqiu looked at Shi Yi, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly.

He actually doesn't care much about such matters.

If Shi Yi hadn't asked, he wouldn't have paid attention.

Joining the association is just a transitional stage. If you say it is useful, it is useful. If you say it is useless, it is really useless.

Disciples in the realm of driving away things are not weak, but they are not very strong either. When doing external affairs, they may encounter dangerous situations and need to work together with others to overcome them.

However, this kind of thing becomes dispensable when it comes to a talented disciple like Shi Yi.

If Shi Yi participates, he might gain something, but if he doesn't participate, it won't have much impact. He sees that Shi Yi has displayed the Golden Crow Divine Fire Taoist magic, and his mastery of the magic is enough to occupy a place in the inner courtyard!

Shi Yi can usually complete the sect's missions in the inner courtyard.

As for those who take on external affairs missions, they are basically disciples who have been practicing for several years. During this period of time, they are improving their Taoist cultivation and supplementing various Taoist techniques.

Shi Yi had just become an inner sect disciple and had completed the transformation of his cultivation method. He was able to cultivate the Golden Crow Divine Fire Daoist technique. With Shi Yi's progress in Daoist cultivation, the inner courtyard could not hold Shi Yi back at all. In a few years, he would definitely break through the Yuandan realm and become an elite disciple.

Gu Qianqiu had seen too many talented disciples in the Taiyi Sect and had a general understanding of their situations.

He had this feeling when he saw Shi Yi at the Xuanqing Dojo before, and Shi Yi's performance along the way was the same. It did not disappoint him, but instead gave him a lot of surprises.

"Thank you for your advice, Master. I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi bowed again to express his gratitude.

He also understood what Gu Qianqiu meant. Overall, the membership issue was somewhat helpful to him, but not very helpful and was dispensable.

Whether to join the club at that time is up to him to decide based on his own ideas.

Shi Yi did not stay in Chengming Hall for too long. After Gu Qianqiu gave him a few more words of advice, Shi Yi took the initiative to say goodbye!

His purpose of coming to Guyue Peak today has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

He saw that when Gu Qianqiu was talking to him, his Yin Shen never stopped practicing.

Although the other party only used a thought to control his body to respond to him, no one likes to be disturbed when practicing.

The same is true for Shi Yi himself. When he is in seclusion practicing, he will activate the formation in the yard to prevent others from coming in and disturbing his practice.

Putting himself in other people's shoes, Gu Qianqiu's situation must be similar, but Gu Qianqiu's situation is different from his. Even if the other party talks to him, he can still practice normally.

Shi Yi was extremely envious of Gu Qianqiu's method of cultivation.

You can do multiple things at the same time, whether it is practicing or learning other practice-related knowledge, without affecting each other.

Being able to do more in the same amount of time is a perfect way to utilize time. Just like Shi Yi, he needs knowledge of martial arts, martial arts techniques, Taoist methods, Taoist arts, the history of heaven and earth, and sect information. He needs to spend time to supplement this knowledge, as it is all lacking and will definitely be useful in the future.

Unfortunately, he is unable to do multiple things at the moment, so these things take up a lot of his time, and he is unable to prevent the problem of time conflicts, so he can only arrange his time reasonably.

If his Taoist practice is strong enough and his Yin Spirit can be transformed into thoughts, he will be able to do many things at the same time and achieve everything.

"Master Gu said that when I have time, I can try refining weapons, forming formations, refining medicine, making talismans, etc., to see if I have talent in these areas. On the road of cultivation, in addition to hard work, a stable income of resources is also required."

"Those who practice Taoism are still human beings and have not yet become immortals."

Shi Yi thought of the few words that Gu Qianqiu had specifically reminded him of before he left.

The competition for resources within the sect is only a part of the resources that can be obtained on the path of cultivation. Encounters and opportunities are not stable and depend on luck. The most stable source of resources is the practice of a hundred arts.

Of course, although practicing all arts is important, it is also necessary to distinguish the primary from the secondary. If you want to go further on the path of Taoist practice, you still need to focus on Taoist practice.

“The path of cultivation is to focus on cultivation.”

Shi Yi walked quickly forward, and after leaving Guyue Peak, he walked towards the Transmission Pavilion in the inner courtyard.

What Gu Yuefeng had done had been resolved, and the next step was naturally to supplement the knowledge he needed.

Just as he envied Gu Qianqiu's ability to multitask, Shi Yi knew very well that he still had to take one step at a time on his path of cultivation.

It is useless to envy others, and thinking too much will only add to his troubles. Only by moving forward with firm belief can he catch up with masters of the Zuowang realm like Gu Qianqiu in the future, or even surpass them.

The True Lords in the Zuowang realm have great combat power and high status, but masters of this level still cannot achieve immortality.

When the physical lifespan is exhausted, people will still die.

Gu Qianqiu is now working hard to break through the immortal realm.

However, it is extremely difficult to take this step.

When one is unable to take this step, one can only improve one's martial arts skills and prolong one's physical lifespan, so that one will have more time to break through to the immortal realm through Taoism.

The Transmission Pavilion.

Shi Yi came to the Transmission Pavilion again. The defensive force nearby had not weakened, and there were still many masters hiding around.

He took out his identity token, and after the gatekeeper disciple saw it, he let Shi Yi into the Transmission Pavilion.

Shi Yi's purpose this time was to find the books he needed on the first and second floors.

Books related to the history of heaven and earth in the Central World, the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, changes in holy places, the Great Putuo Temple, the Jixia Academy, detailed explanations of elixirs, and a complete collection of herbal medicine.

There are many things Shi Yi wants to see, and these are also the information he lacks.

This is not just the case with Shi Yi, but with many people. Some information is not accessible to them at a high enough level.

Just like Shi Yi, the information he had access to in Changqing Temple was limited.

And in the Taiyi Dao Sect's Transmission Pavilion, this information is no longer a secret to inner disciples like him, but is completely open to them!

From the time Shi Yi left the courtyard and went to Guyue Peak to now when he arrived at the Transmission Pavilion, he did not meet any inner disciples who entered the sect at the same time as him. It seemed that these people were still in seclusion and it would take some time for them to come out.

Even if one is very talented in practicing Taoism, it still takes a lot of time to master the skills.

Shi Yi searched for a long time in the Transmission Pavilion before he found the books he wanted. However, some of the books were not so complete, but they still contained the information he wanted.

These books are not secret manuals of martial arts, most of them are some basic information, and can be exchanged with very little sect contribution points.

The sect will regularly add relevant books.

Shi Yi exchanged for quite a few books, but the weight was no problem for him.

After coming out of the Transmission Pavilion, Shi Yi went to the inner courtyard to exchange a lot of supplies, such as leopard fetus tendon pills, monster blood and flesh to assist in martial arts practice, as well as elixirs to assist in Taoist practice.

Although he has completed the transformation of his cultivation method, he still plans to continue practicing in seclusion for a while.

His martial arts cultivation was about to break through, so he first completed the tempering of his dragon tendons so that he could break through to the peak level of fascia warrior as soon as possible.

Although his Taoist cultivation level was not improving so quickly, Shi Yi estimated that within a few months, he would be able to break through to the Yuandan level.

If all goes well, he will surely achieve a breakthrough in Taoism before he goes abroad to study. By then, he will be able to practice Yuandan-level Taoist magic to confuse people's minds, making it more convenient for him to work abroad.

After exchanging what he wanted, Shi Yi walked towards his residence.

Before he arrived at his residence, several inner disciples were already waiting in front of the courtyard where he lived!
Looking at the appearance of these people, Shi Yi knew their purpose!
"Are you Junior Brother Shi Yi?"

When Shi Yi approached his courtyard, someone came over and asked him enthusiastically.

When the others heard the name Shi Yi, they also came over one by one.

All of them were arranged to come and invite Shi Yi to join the club.

Some people noticed Shi Yi coming out of seclusion because the formation above the courtyard had changed. In addition, some people also saw Shi Yi going to the Transmission Pavilion and other places.

Ending his retreat so quickly means he has probably completed the transformation of his cultivation method. With this level of cultivation progress, he can be ranked among the best in the inner courtyard, and his talent for cultivation is very high.

Inviting such talented disciples to join the association would be very helpful to them, which was why they were all extremely enthusiastic.

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, greetings to all the senior brothers."

Seeing this, Shi Yi put down the things in his hands and then spoke politely to the few people.

After confirming Shi Yi's identity, these people hurriedly sent Shi Yi invitations to join the club, and also offered various benefits of joining.

Some people even saw others increase their benefits and then followed suit, starting to compete with each other!
These are not two people, but several people.

Seeing this, Shi Yi understood more clearly the strange smile on Gu Qianqiu's face when he talked about joining the club. It was obvious that he had anticipated this situation.

No wonder the words at the beginning also reminded him that if he gets benefits, he will have to pay a corresponding price.

Now that these people have invited him to join and given him such great benefits, they will naturally get more benefits from him, otherwise these people would not be so eager to join.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

This principle is no exception even within the sect.

Shi Yi already had ideas about joining the club.

After Gu Qianqiu’s reminder, his thoughts became even more resolute!
