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

Chapter 64: Record of the Mysterious Journey

Qingjingyuan.

"I am a formal disciple of Anhe Martial Arts School. I wonder if this will be affected?"

Shi Yi didn't expect that Song Jing would directly ask him whether he wanted to practice in Changqing Temple.

He had learned from Jiang Chenze before that the recommendation letter was basically just a test of one's talent for cultivation. Even if one was found to have the qualifications for cultivation, he would not be directly enrolled in the Changqing Temple to cultivate. He would just be given a deadline. If one could meet the requirements of the Changqing Temple within the deadline, he could enter the Changqing Temple to cultivate.

Of course, there are also some people who just take the test of their qualifications for practicing Taoism and do not enter Changqing Temple to practice.

Ultimately, it's up to the individual to choose.

"It doesn't affect it."

"Anhe Martial Arts School is not a sect or aristocratic family, and does not restrict joining other forces."

"Besides, Changqing Temple is not a sect in essence."

"Of course, if you are good enough and have made amazing progress in your Taoist practice, and have reached the requirements to join the Taiyi sect of the upper sect, then you will be considered to have joined the sect!"

Song Jing explained with a smile.

Taoist temples like Changqing Temple are local forces established through cooperation between the Great Zhou court and Taoist forces.

The imperial court needs local forces like Taoist temples to help guard the city, because there are some things that ordinary warriors cannot do, but these Taoist masters can help do them.

Just like the formation above the city, it requires the help of Taoist masters to maintain it.

If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, Taoist masters can not only use Taoist magic to fight the enemy, but also send the news to the Shenjing Palace as soon as possible, so that the emperor can know it first and prepare strategies to deal with the foreign enemies.

To a certain extent, local Taoist temples can even monitor local officials.

As for the Taoist forces, they use these Taoist temples to find people with outstanding aptitude for practicing Taoism and recruit them as their disciples.

The imperial court would also select some outstanding people for training.

Both the Great Zhou court and the Taoist forces benefited from it.

"Senior Song, do you mean that after I join Changqing Temple, I can still practice in Anhe Martial Arts School?"

Shi Yi didn't know much about Changqing Temple. He only knew some basic information before, which was not complete.

"That's right. Some of the disciples in Anhe Martial Arts School are not only martial arts school disciples, but also government officials and children of aristocratic families."

"There are also many disciples with multiple identities in Changqing Temple."

Song Jing nodded.

Jiang Chenze's letter of recommendation also mentioned Shi Yi's identity and his martial arts skills.

At Shi Yi's age, he is able to become a martial artist in the Flesh Realm, so his martial arts talent is naturally not bad.

Although Changqing Temple mainly practices Taoism, it does not prevent its disciples from practicing martial arts.

Just like him, he also practiced martial arts, but he did not spend too much time on it.

"Disciple Shi Yi, I pay my respects to Master Song."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi no longer hesitated.

Or maybe he had this idea from the beginning and asked a few more questions just to confirm the situation.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"From now on, you will be my disciple, Song Jing."

Song Jing laughed when he heard this.

Since Shi Yi had such a talent for cultivation, he naturally wanted to accept him as his disciple.

As for the fact that there were people like the master of Changqing Temple who had higher cultivation than him, it was not within his scope of consideration at all.

When you meet someone with good qualifications, it’s natural to strike first!

Could it be that he is also preparing disciples for others?

"You've just started practicing Taoism, so don't rush. Keep your mind clear and your spirit calm. Continue to strengthen the connection between your mind and soul. Then, slowly try to visualize the Three Qi Earth Gods to strengthen your soul." "This step is the foundation of Taoism and is very important."

It is very simple to establish a master-disciple relationship in a Taoist temple. After recognizing the relationship, just register it in the temple!

This matter was just a matter of words for Song Jing, so he began to tell Shi Yi about the precautions of practicing Taoism, which was also what a master should do.

"Disciple, remember this."

These basic knowledge are very important to Shi Yi.

Taoist practice involves the soul, so if you are not careful and hurt the soul, it may leave serious sequelae or even death.

"Master, after completing the visualization of the Three Qi Earth Gods, how should we practice?"

Shi Yi knew from Song Jing's words that Song Jing thought he had just sensed a soul.

Shi Yi did not correct this point, because he could tell from Song Jing's words that he was a "good seedling for Taoist cultivation" that he was able to sense the soul so quickly, which meant he was already a genius in Taoist practice!
If he tells his own situation, saying that he has completed the visualization of the Three Qi Earth God, or that he has jumped from the visualization of the Three Qi Earth God copied in "The Guide to Firm and Quiet Mind" to the visualization of the Three Qi Earth God, then it would be too evil!

Being so exposed is not necessarily a good thing for him.

He understood very well the principle that 'a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind'.

When you are weak, after achieving your goal, you can protect yourself by making appropriate reservations.

"Well, with your aptitude, I think you will be able to complete the Three Qi Earth Lord visualization very quickly."

"This volume, 'Records of the Mysterious Journey', is the method for subsequent cultivation. You can take a look at its contents, but don't rush into cultivation."

"Otherwise, your soul power is insufficient, and if you practice rashly, you will fall into danger."

"I've also left a lot of insights there. You can read more about it. It will be helpful for your practice."

Upon hearing this, Song Jing thought for a moment, then waved his hand and a book flew into his hands.

Seeing that Shi Yi could enter into a state of meditation in just a moment and sense the soul's talent for cultivation in just two sticks of incense, he estimated that it wouldn't take long for him to visualize the Three Qi Earth Lords.

He had no doubt of this.

Then Song Jing moved his hand, and "Record of the Divine Journey" floated in front of Shi Yi.

Shi Yi reached out to take it, and then began to read it.

It contains the following practice.

When the soul grows to a certain level, it will leave the physical body, allowing the soul to escape from the body and wander in the world. The wandering can be divided into night wandering and day wandering.

The content of the practice ends here.

It also describes several methods of hatching, precautions for night and day swimming, etc.

There were a lot of notes recorded on it, which were obviously the experience notes that Song Jing mentioned.

"You can arrange your martial arts training yourself, but from now on, every two days, in the afternoon, you should come to Changqing Temple to meditate and worship the Three Qi Earth Gods. This will be very helpful for your subsequent visualization practice."

“At night, you can practice more visualization and the effect will be better.”

Song Jing looked at Shi Yi and said slowly.

He could tell from Shi Yi's question just now that Shi Yi still attached great importance to martial arts training, so he did not say anything to stop him.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many people who practiced both Taoism and martial arts.

Furthermore, the golden time for practice for the two is different.

Martial arts practice focuses on daytime practice, while Taoist practice is more suitable for practice after dark. This is also related to the state of the soul, especially in the early stages of practice.

"Yes, I will definitely work hard to practice Taoism."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi nodded solemnly.

He has been in the Central World for such a long time and has finally started to practice Taoism, so he will naturally seize the opportunity.
