Old Daoist San stroked the scroll and said, "In this scroll, there might be the method that you need …"
Jin Zhixing's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why, you haven't read it yourself?"
Old Daoist San revealed a complicated expression and said, "I've read it no less than five times, but every time I read it, I forgot it. It's fine if I only forgot the things in the scroll, but I always felt that I forgot something else, so I didn't dare to read it again …"
He raised his head and said, "So I'll remind you here, whether you want to read this scroll or not, you need to consider it carefully."
Jin Zhixing did not take his reminder to heart. Instead, he revealed a cautious expression. He thought for a moment, then pointed at the scroll and asked, "Then let me ask you a question. In the past, has anyone written down their thoughts and comments on this scroll?"
Old Daoist San sighed and said, "That's the problem. I've checked all the scriptures in the library, but there's no comment on this scroll. It seems that I'm the only one who remembers it. If I also forget it, maybe no one will know about the existence of this scroll."
Jin Zhixing looked and said, "Is it so magical?"
Old Daoist San said, "Indeed, so I suspect that this scroll might be one of the Dao Ancestor's scrolls."
Jin Zhixing knew that this place was different from Tianxia. Tianxia believed that today's Dao was created by countless ancestors after many generations, but in this world, it believed that all Dao was created by one Dao Ancestor, who passed down three scrolls of scriptures. This was the origin of all Dao.
He did not dare to make a conclusion about whether it was true or not, and he was not interested in finding the source. As long as the Dao that was passed down was true, then it was fine.
Moreover, he was not afraid of forgetting anything. Before and after reading the scroll, he could put his experience on Xuntian Dao Zhang. Even if he could make himself forget, he could not make Xuntian Dao Zhang forget.
He reached out and took it. However, just as he was about to open it, Old Daoist San stopped him and said, "Wait, this scripture is not to be read in a hurry. Fellow Daoist, you can go back and read it slowly."
Jin Zhixing nodded. It was great that the other party was willing to let him take them back. He put away the scroll and took out the cultivation method he had prepared in advance. He held it in his hand and said, "This is my cultivation method. Please take a look."
Solemnly, the old Daoist took it. He slowly opened it and looked at it for a while. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and nod his head. With his eyes, he could naturally see the beauty of this cultivation method. It was very different from the cultivation methods he had seen before, but the general idea was still familiar.
Although what Jin Zhixing took out was the dao technique that he obtained from You City, it had actually been modified by him.
After all, if a cultivation method that had no records and couldn't be described in detail could be directly cultivated to the upper realm, it would be very suspicious. It was equivalent to telling others that there was something wrong with his origin.
Fortunately, many Xuanxiu had joined the major local sects. Through Xuntian Dao Zhang, he learned about the cultivation methods of each sect. After modifying it, it roughly followed the path of cultivation in this world. He had also shown it to Zhang Yu in advance, so he could ensure that the other party couldn't see any flaws.
Old Daoist San looked at it for a while. He raised his head and asked, "Fellow Daoist, this cultivation method seems to have been modified?"
Jin Zhixing pretended to sigh and said, "The principle of Dao has changed. The previous cultivation methods can no longer help us cultivate to the upper realm. Therefore, some of my fellow Daoists and I had to modify it. I was just lucky to have achieved it. It's a pity that my fellow Daoists couldn't see this day …" He couldn't help but make a look of infinite regret.
Old Daoist San also couldn't help but sigh. "The change of the principle of Dao is indeed the tribulation of all cultivation methods. However, there are still people like you who can inherit the cultivation methods of the predecessors. Then, the legacy of Dao will not disappear."
He raised the scroll in his hand again and said, "I've already read it. The cultivation method of Dao is indeed a method that can lead to the upper realm. It's very valuable, so I'll accept it."
He closed the scroll. "Fellow Daoist, your cultivation method can lead to the upper realm. I've let you suffer a loss by only exchanging it with this unknown scroll. If you have any questions, or if you can't understand the scroll in your hand, you can come to me. I can exchange it for another one."
Jin Zhixing bowed and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Old Daoist San returned the bow and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're welcome."
Jin Zhixing had achieved his goal. He bid farewell to him and left.
Old Daoist San looked at his back and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Jin Zhixing followed the winding path back to his residence. He raised the restriction and sat down. He wasn't in a hurry to open the scroll. Instead, he sent a message to Zhang Yu first. Because if this was really related to the cultivation method of the legendary "Daoist Ancestor", he couldn't be sure if there would be something that would affect him. So, he felt at ease to inform Zhang Yu.
Then, he slowly opened the scroll. However, he only saw a stream of light. There seemed to be writing in it, but it also seemed like there wasn't. However, every time he paid attention to it, he felt that it was blank. The more he tried to read it, the more he felt that it was so.
However, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he was happy because if even he couldn't understand it, it meant that this item might be related to what Zhang Yu was looking for. Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't mean that Zhang Yu couldn't. So, he used the "Seal of Ming Guan" to reflect it into Xuntian Dao Zhang and sent it to Zhang Yu again.
Zhang Yu had already paid attention to it when he received his message. At this time, he borrowed the Seal of Ming Guan to read it. The scroll was as if it was directly displayed in front of him. He glanced at it. The stream of light that Jin Zhixing couldn't see turned into fixed words in his eyes.
He immediately understood that this scroll had a special method. Usually, a cultivator had to pluck the Virtual Fruit to be able to read the contents.
From what he saw, it wasn't a cultivation method. It was a discussion on how to ascend to the upper realm. Although it was quite strange, it was still rough based on his realm. So, this was definitely not a method passed down by a Daoist ancestor.
However, when he read to the end, his eyes moved slightly. He saw a sentence. It was a comment left behind by someone later on. The general idea was that this kind of Dao theory was excellent, but there were still flaws. The person who wrote the comment said that he would discuss it in detail later on, but there was nothing here.
The reason why the person wrote this was because this Dao theory was actually only half a scroll. More than half of the content wasn't here.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment. He felt that the person who left the note behind might not be the person he was looking for. Even if he wasn't, he was definitely someone close to the upper echelons. Perhaps, he was already very close to the "upper self".
He said, "Kim Daoist."
Jin Zhixing's voice immediately sounded, "Ting Zhi, I'm here. What orders do you have?"
Zhang Yu said, "The scroll you found is indeed useful. But after reading it, there's only half a scroll here. I still need you to find the other half.
However, this book is only suitable for those who have plucked the Virtual Fruit. So, I'll teach you a method. You're good at Eye Prints. With this method, you should be able to read it clearly. "After he finished speaking, he taught another method.
After Jin Zhixing heard this, he immediately looked grateful. He stood up and bowed, "Yes, yes. I thank you for teaching me this method!"
After breaking the connection with the chapter, he immediately followed the method taught by Zhang Yu. After a moment, a golden light shone through his eyes. At this moment, he could indeed see the words on the scroll. Although it was a little blurry, it wasn't flowing light like before.
After studying it, he couldn't help but feel that Tianxia had a better method. He had seen it before. But now, looking at it from a different perspective, he had another inspiration.
After more than ten days, he roughly understood the contents of the scroll. Then, he stepped on the winding road again and found the Taoist temple.
When the solemn old Taoist saw him, he was a little surprised, "You're back so soon?"
Jin Zhixing said, "Kim Daoist has read it. The scroll you gave me is only half a scroll. I wonder where the other half is?"
The solemn old Taoist was a little surprised. He looked up and down at him and couldn't help but ask, "Did you read the scripture?"
Jin Zhixing deliberately showed a trace of complacency, and said, "I was taught a method of identification by an expert. I can see many methods that ordinary people can't see."
"Oh?" The solemn old Taoist couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible to exchange this method?"
Jin Zhixing shook his head and said, "I can't teach you this method. It's not that I don't want to. In fact, this is my own cultivation method. It's useless to exchange it with another person."
He wasn't lying. He comprehended it himself after holding the eye seal for a period of time. It would be useless to exchange it with another person. Moreover, if he hurriedly took it out, he might expose himself. So, he might as well reject it.
The solemn old Taoist said, "What a pity." He said again, "Since you've read it, can you tell me what the scripture says?"
Jin Zhixing said, "Why not?" He roughly explained the contents and said, "The scripture says that it's not finished. But there are comments that it will be discussed in detail in the future. There's no doubt that there's more to it."
The old Daoist nodded as he listened. His eyes lit up and he said, "I won't lie to you, fellow Daoist. I do have other scrolls here. I thought they were different Daoist techniques, but according to what fellow Daoist said, they might all be from the same technique." He reached out his hand. After a while, a scroll appeared. He pointed at it and said, "It should be this scroll."
He handed it to Jin Zhixing, "My friend, please keep it well."
Jin Zhixing was about to open it, but the solemn old Taoist stopped him again and said, "My friend, it's better for you to go back and read it. Don't open it here. I've already read this book, but you haven't. If you read it with me, you might not be able to see the truth."
Jin Zhixing felt that it was reasonable. After bidding farewell to him, he took the book and left. When he returned to his residence, he opened the book and read it. This time, he saw a stream of light again. He immediately passed it to Zhang Yu.
After Zhang Yu read it, he found that there were only a few comments on it. Moreover, the book seemed to be incomplete. There should be some content left. He told Jin Zhixing to think of a way to ask more.
After Jin Zhixing read it himself, he felt the same. Moreover, San Su also said that he had other scriptures. Therefore, he went to the Taoist temple for the third time. However, what surprised him was that the person guarding the temple this time was not San Su, but another Taoist. He could not help but ask, "My friend, may I know where San Su is?"
"San Su?"
The Taoist was stunned. He looked at him with surprise and confusion, "How can there be a San Su here?" He said again, "Since I took over the Taoist temple, I've been here for 350 years. I've never heard of such a person."
