I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 219 Tell everything
"Senior, please calm down!" Li Ming said quickly when he saw this.

Looking at the palm print, he felt something in his heart. He thought that he could do the same. However, even though Miao Lingzi was furious, he was very measured in his actions and did not leak any power. Li Ming could not help but admire him in his heart.

Miao Lingzi suddenly changed the subject and said, "The Xuantian Dao Sect is powerful, and I don't have the heart to go against them. I just hope to protect Xiao Yu'er Qingcheng and Xiao Mingzi and grow up safely, and ensure that our Xuanzhen lineage continues to be passed down. I will be satisfied."

Li Ming naturally agreed in his heart. After all, compared with Xuantian Dao Sect, not to mention that there are only two or three big cats and small cats left in Xuanzhen Sect now, the most powerful Miao Lingzi has not yet crossed that threshold. Even in the heyday of Xuanzhen Sect in the past, when the two masters of magical powers were of one mind and one heart, and had thousands of disciples under their command, their momentum was so amazing, but they were also wiped out by Xuantian Dao Sect. Not to mention now, they were not even a heavyweight player.

The Xuantian Taoist Sect is like a golden beam across the sea, supporting the sky, and the Xuanzhen Sect is like willow catkins floating in the wind.

If Miao Lingzi said at this moment that he was planning how to take revenge and secretly trying to bring down Xuantian Dao Sect, Li Ming's first reaction would be to touch the old man's forehead to see if his brain was burned out, and then to stand up and run.

Fortunately, Miao Lingzi still had some self-awareness. Even though he was resentful in his heart, his judgment of the current situation was still correct. He was not blinded by hatred, otherwise he would have been overestimating his own abilities.

Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "With your strength, as long as you don't reveal your identity, I think it won't be difficult to do this in places like Lingzhou."

Miao Lingzi smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, it's not easy, it's not easy!!!"

Then he stood up and looked at the bright moon, his voice low.

"Back then, I was gifted and was accepted into my master's sect as an exception. He never treated me unfairly, providing me with everything from food, clothing, shelter, and even cultivation resources. He would find it for me almost anything I needed. Later, my senior brother became the sect leader and treated me with the same care. I don't know how expensive food and clothing are until now. Now, my Xuanzhen Sect has collapsed, and I, an old Taoist, have nothing left."

Li Ming said, "Senior, if you say that, don't forget that I am also a monk. How can I have valuables with me? But if you are really short of money, I still have a lot of rewards from the government after I caught the Jade Tooth Thief last time. I just need a word from you..."

Miao Lingzi sneered, fixed his eyes on Li Ming and said, "Who cares about your trifles?"

"Besides, there are many things that money can't buy." Miao Lingzi said with a hint of meaning, "Some things are priceless, and that's what makes them precious! For example, magical powers and secret techniques!"

When Li Ming heard the four words "secret magic method", his heart skipped a beat. He had to. He was born in Guangde Temple. Although it was better than those independent cultivators or small families, it was only a third-rate force in the world. The only one who might be a master with magic power was the founder, Zen Master Ciyue.

However, Zen Master Ci Yue was born in Wanfo Temple. Restricted by the temple rules, Zen Master Ci Yue did not leave behind any secret methods of supernatural powers, and there are even very few records about supernatural powers. For five hundred years, Guangde Temple has been prosperous, but no second supernatural power has been born.

This is certainly due to the extremely high threshold for supernatural powers, but another major reason is that Guangde Temple knows nothing about the realm of supernatural powers. Even the practice of the innate realm and how to open up the acupoints are still being slowly explored. As for how to condense supernatural powers after opening up the acupoints, they really know nothing about it.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to raise a dragon in shallow water. The power of Guangde Temple can only cultivate an innate level one at most. To go above that, one must be a genius that is rarely seen in thousands of years, and must have extraordinary opportunities. Even if Li Ming has the Record of Reincarnation, how much time and opportunities will it take? It is even possible that he will make mistakes and go astray. Now that he has such an opportunity, he is naturally very excited.

After all, the situation of other innate forces in the entire Lingzhou is probably not much different from that of Guangde Temple. It would not be easy to turn Lingzhou upside down and find two or three magical powers and secret techniques.

Seeing Li Ming's expression change slightly, Miao Lingzi was naturally very satisfied and said immediately, "Little monk, your talent far exceeds that of ordinary people. Calling you a genius is a bit of an understatement. If you were born in Wanfo Temple, you would definitely be a strong candidate for the Buddhist disciple. It's a pity that you were born here, so you are a little inferior."

This made Li Ming laugh.

"Competitors?"

Miao Lingzi laughed heartily and said, "Do you think you are unique in the world for having such a high level of cultivation before you are even twenty?"

Li Ming naturally shook his head and said, "If I think like that, then I'm just looking at the world from a well."

Miao Lingzi nodded and said, "Indeed, it's important to know yourself. You're right to think so. The world is so vast. The Thirty-Six States are enough for a person to travel through in a lifetime. Not to mention that the Thirty-Six States don't cover the entire world. Beyond the Four Poles, there's endless space. In Lingzhou, I think you're the best among the younger generation. But beyond Lingzhou... Hehe, that's not necessarily the case."

"Which of the current Saint Sons of the Four Sacred Grounds hasn't broken into the Xiantian realm before the age of twenty? Some even have various Xiantian bodies. At seventeen or eighteen, their talents are revealed and they have broken into the Xiantian realm with almost no obstacles. You must not be arrogant. You must know that the road of martial arts is long. Let alone Xiantian, there is still a way to go even beyond the realm of supernatural powers. What does this little achievement mean to you?"

When Miao Lingzi said these words, he was quite sincere, as if he was thinking about his past.

Then he smiled and looked into Li Ming's eyes. Seeing that his eyes were clear and there was no impatience at all, he nodded and said, "Don't blame me for being talkative. This is all from the bottom of my heart. I value talent!!!"

Li Ming clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Miao Lingzi and said, "Thank you very much, Senior. I will definitely remember your teachings in my heart!"

Miao Lingzi nodded and said, "That would be great. By the way, where were we just now?"

Li Ming rolled his eyes in his heart, but said on the surface: "Mystical power secret method."

"Hehe, yes, it is the secret method of magical power!" Miao Lingzi clapped his hands and chuckled.

"After the innate ability comes the supernatural powers. At this level, one is no longer an ordinary person, but is similar to the immortals in myths and legends. Those incredible actions are not impossible in the eyes of those with supernatural powers."

"Oh, how could it be so wonderful?"

Hearing these words, Li Ming's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he was obviously very excited. How powerful were the magical powers in the main world? Li Ming had rarely seen them, let alone heard of them.

At this moment, Miao Lingzi, as a close associate of the supernatural person, naturally has a lot of useful information in his mind. Even though he knows that the old man probably has some calculations in his mind, he still has to swallow the bait first!

Miao Lingzi was not surprised at Li Ming's attitude. A young genius like Li Ming naturally had great yearning for the future. As for Li Ming's temperament, he had his own judgment in his heart. He was definitely not the kind of person who would be complacent with a little achievement. The only thing that limited him was his background.

As expected, now that I have thrown out the tempting bait of magical powers and secret techniques, I don’t have to worry about him not taking the bait!
Miao Lingzi walked out of the pavilion, stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Li Ming. His figure was stretched out in the moonlight, and the bright moonlight spread on the ground like water. Li Ming also followed him, and the moonlight reflected on the surface of the small pond was reflected on Li Ming's face.

"My Xuanzhen Sect has been established for thousands of years, so we naturally have many magical skills and techniques. It's a pity." "What a pity?" Li Ming asked.

"It's a pity that it has probably been burned." Miao Lingzi's tone was filled with regret.

"I guess you have memorized quite a bit, senior?" Li Ming laughed tentatively.

Miao Lingzi turned around and looked at Li Ming with a half-smile, saying, "That's only less than 10%. Besides, I don't know what Qingcheng has learned, and Xiao Mingzi won't follow my path. But Xiao Yu'er can learn my martial arts, but it will be difficult for them to go beyond the Xiantian realm. Even if they are lucky enough to break into the Xiantian realm, the threshold is still inside the door. Do they have to spend most of their lives groping and exploring the acupoints and key points, and never reach the threshold of supernatural power until they die?"

This sentence seemed to have a different meaning, and Li Ming heard it clearly, thinking to himself.

"It's more than half my life, one, two, three, four. I don't know how many lifetimes it has taken me to figure out these acupuncture points, and I've only discovered about 200 or so, and it's not even systematic. The most progress I made was after I went crazy last time, when I just did it on impulse."

Miao Lingzi naturally didn't know what Li Ming was thinking. If he knew, he would probably be shocked. After all, he had spent most of his life and the Xuanzhen Sect's thousand-year heritage to open up a hundred or so acupoints here and there, and had not yet condensed the seeds of supernatural powers. In the Xuanzhen Sect's thousand-year heritage, there were less than two hundred acupoints recorded!!!

Of course, Li Ming would not say that. Instead, he said with a sigh, "Yes, without the guidance of predecessors and the treasures left by our ancestors, it would be too difficult to find the way forward on my own!"

Miao Lingzi then smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Even if you are a genius, if you want to go one step further, you must first stand on the shoulders of those who have come before you. Too many people in this world are doing useless work. Those who are mediocre are fine, but true geniuses should spend their energy on more critical things instead of doing these stupid research. Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Li Ming smiled and nodded, replying, "Senior, what you said is correct. It's just that too many people don't have access to those rare and secret skills that are revered as treasures. This is why those major sects are able to be so high and mighty. Which sect would be willing to unconditionally pass on the secret manuals accumulated by their ancestors?"

Except for me, the mastermind behind the harvesting of the world's wisdom.
Li Ming complained silently in his heart, but the tone of his voice was that of an angry young man, full of resistance to injustice.

Miao Lingzi laughed and said, "That makes sense. So if you want to succeed, if you want to go further in the martial arts, even if you don't take shortcuts, you must have a map to guide you, so as not to go astray and waste time. Only then can you reach the summit and see the scenery of the world!"

There was a certain dignity in his words, and his look revealed his heroic spirit.

"Now that you have extraordinary talent, I, the old Taoist, want to help you, but I'm afraid you don't dare!"

At this point, Li Ming was no longer afraid and laughed out loud.

"Master, if you have the will, why shouldn't I? As long as you don't do anything that harms the world or goes against your conscience, I will accompany you to the end!"

"Okay!" Miao Lingzi also smiled up to the sky, clapping his hands and saying with a smile, "I've been waiting for you to say this!"

Then he changed the subject again and asked, "Do you know why I brought Xiao Yu'er and Qingcheng here?"

"Is it because there are all kinds of people here, making it easier to hide your identity?" Li Ming replied.

Miao Lingzi shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Lingzhou may be remote, but it's not a remote place either. If I really wanted to hide, I would go to the barbaric lands, the bitter cold of the northwest, or even the ends of the earth. Who could find me?"

"I'm hiding here because there's a secret place hidden by my Xuanzhen Sect. It's been here for about five hundred years. During that generation, the Xuanzhen Sect also suffered a great disaster. The Sect Master was ambushed by spies from other forces, and nearly half of the guest elders turned against us, nearly destroying the Xuanzhen Sect. Fortunately, there is always a way out. While on the run, a disciple encountered a senior who was expelled from the Xuanzhen Sect in the early years. After going through many hardships, he rescued the other elders who were imprisoned and protected the sect."

"That disciple and the elder who was expelled from the sect later took over the positions of Xuanzhen Sect's leader and supreme elder. Lingzhou was the place where the supreme elder lived in seclusion back then!"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows and asked, "So that's it."

Miao Lingzi stroked his beard and smiled, "In times of peace, be prepared for danger. After this great disaster, the leader of the Zhongxing Sect took it upon himself to learn from his mistakes. To ensure that the Xuanzhen Sect's true teachings would continue even if a similar situation occurred in the future, he secretly built a secret vault in the elder's secluded place in Lingzhou. It contains not only countless Xuanzhen Sect's true teachings, but also several kinds of natural treasures. What do you think its value is?"

Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "Of course it is a priceless treasure, but..."

Li Ming looked at Miao Lingzi and said, "I really can't understand why the Taoist priest would tell an outsider like me such a secret. Is it because he values ​​talent?"

Seeing Li Ming like this, Miao Lingzi could only smile bitterly and said: "Although I don't think I am a bad person, I am not so kind-hearted as this. It's really..."

"What is the truth?" Li Ming asked.

"Alas," Miao Lingzi sighed and said, "If we want to open the secret vault, I'm afraid you, little monk, will have to help me!"

"Ah?" Li Ming asked, "But how can I help you, Taoist Priest?"

"It's on the fourth level of your "Return to Zhen Sutra"!" Miao Lingzi said helplessly.

"How could I have imagined that you, a boy, are so incredible that you could comprehend the fourth level of the True Scripture on your own after just listening to me recite the scripture once, and only the first three levels."

When he said this, an unnatural blush flashed across Miao Lingzi's face, as if he had thought of something strange, but he soon coughed and continued.

"Although the secret vault is good and its location is hidden, in order to prevent others from taking away the years of accumulation of my Xuanzhen Sect, after the secret vault was built, there were also several arrangements specifically for identifying whether the person coming out is an orthodox disciple of my Xuanzhen Sect."

Hearing this, Li Ming's doubts were finally resolved. He nodded and said, "Could it be that the fourth level of the Return to the True Sutra is the key to something?"
