After some consideration, Zhang Yu believed that no matter what he chose, all of his skills and abilities were based on his own body.
For example, the seals he currently possessed. Not to mention the ones in the broadside seal, the majority of the seals in the profound seal would consume his own origin energy.
And where would this origin energy come from?
Simply put, it could be seen as his body's life force. If he used too much, it would accelerate his aging and affect his lifespan.
Even if it was the Heart Light, it was still him who was at work.
Because the Heart Light was his rejection of the world, if he himself was not strong enough, this rejection would naturally be very weak.
In the end, all of this was built on his own body. As long as he did not break through the limits of his body, this situation would not change.
However, this did not mean that there was no way to control the overdraft of his origin energy.
For example, the Seal of Origin Cultivation from before was used to accumulate Origin Qi. This way, he could ensure that his consumption during battle would not harm his foundation too much.
But it must be noted that there was only one seal like this, and the number of seals used for consumption was several times more. There was an extreme imbalance between the two sides.
It was like a tall building propped up by pillars. It was already on the verge of collapse, and even though it knew there was a problem, it did not think about how to stabilize the bottom. Instead, it continued to increase the height. It was destined to collapse.
Therefore, at this stage, having too many seals that leaned towards skill was not necessarily a good thing. It would only cause excessive harm to one's body, causing one's potential to be exhausted prematurely. It would not be good for one's future path.
Did Xuanfu not know this? He should also be clear.
But perhaps he believed that as long as a cultivator could find the profound principles and remove the obstacles that bound them, then all problems would no longer be a problem. Or perhaps he believed that the present situation was urgent, and that it was more important for a disciple to have the means to protect himself. Everything else could only be put aside for now.
In fact, all of these were reasonable.
But he believed that at this stage, if he could obtain more seals to consolidate his foundation, then that would be the most correct choice.
After considering all of this, he had an idea in his mind.
Thus, he packed up his things and left the hut, once again coming to the side hall to look for Fan Lan.
Fan Lan smiled and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, have you made your decision?"
He was very interested in the path Zhang Yu would choose. A Xuanxiu's choice of path often represented the person's temperament and philosophy.
Zhang Yu said, "I belong to the Mind Body and Mind Seal."
Fan Lan revealed an unsurprised expression and said with a smile, "I already knew that Junior Brother Zhang would make such a choice." He stretched out his hand and unfolded a bamboo book on the table. He pointed at it and said, "Junior Brother only needs to write down the path you have chosen here. I will send this to the Affairs Hall and give you the seal you need."
Zhang Yu did not move. He clasped his hands together and said, "There is something I would like to ask Senior Brother Fan for help with."
Seeing him like this, Fan Lan also straightened his body and put away his smile. He said seriously, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Yu said, "I believe that after we found the Great Dao Seal, we first planted the 'Save Myself Seal'. It can be seen that cultivating the Dao requires' Save Myself 'first. The seal I cultivated before is not bad, but it is difficult to make up for the loss of vitality. Therefore, I would like to ask Xuanfu to give me the' Cultivate Body and Foundation Seal '."
After Fan Lan heard this, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly. Obviously, he agreed very much. He patted the table and said, "Junior Brother, your way of thinking is correct. If the foundation isn't solid, how can a sapling become a towering tree? In this point, Junior Martial Brother Bai is not as good as you. "
He pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you write your name on this bamboo book, and I'll tell Senior Martial Brother Xiang about your request. With the contributions you've made this time, I believe Senior Martial Brother Xiang won't refuse."
Zhang Yu clasped his hands and said, "Then I will have to trouble Senior Martial Brother Fan."
He did not know whether Xuanfu would agree to his request this time, so he had already made up his mind. If this matter did not succeed, then he would go back and try to refine a kind of vitality strengthening pill. In the future, before every battle, he would take it first. This way, he could slightly make up for the loss.
However, the situation was better than he imagined. Only a day later, he was called by Fan Lan again.
Solemnly, Fan Lan's expression this time was very serious. There was no trace of his usual relaxed smile on his face. He said, "Junior Martial Brother, after Senior Martial Brother Xiang heard of your idea, he agreed very much, so he gave you a high-grade seal." At this point, he suddenly sighed. "Only, I don't know whether giving this seal to you is the right thing to do or not."
"High-grade seal?"
It was not the first time Zhang Yu had heard this term. A few days ago, outside Mount An, when he was talking with Zang Shu, he heard her say that Xuanfu seals were divided into high-grade and low-grade.
Fan Lan looked at him and said, "Are you puzzled? Since Xuanfu has grasped the 'high-grade seal,' why they don't give it to you to practice?"
Zhang Yu did not speak. Zang Shu said this was because of the difference in closeness and distance. Perhaps this reason was there. However, he felt that, given the situation Xuanfu was facing now, there should be another reason.
Fan Lan sighed and said, "Ordinary seals can be read by anyone, and the amount of Shen Yuan required is also not much different. However, this is not the case for high-grade seals. The more 'high-grade', the more Shen Yuan needs to be filled in. Moreover, there is the possibility of failure halfway through. This is extremely easy to delay talented people. Therefore, from the beginning, the so-called 'high-grade' is actually the difference in difficulty. It is not given to the disciples who have just entered the sect. "
He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I did not expect that Senior Martial Brother Xiang would give this seal to you. Even with Junior Martial Brother's aptitude, you may not be able to successfully read this high-grade seal. However, when it comes to the seal of consolidation, there is no seal that can surpass this seal. Moreover, I see that Junior Martial Brother is obsessed with this. Although we do not pay attention to the Dao heart like the old cultivators, since what we seek is to transcend, sometimes we naturally have to follow our desires. "
He took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it forward. Solemnly, he said, "However, Junior Martial Brother Zhang, you must remember that if you fail to read this seal, then stop in time. Do not be too obsessed, so as to avoid delaying your future path."
Zhang Yu looked at the jade box and nodded seriously. He walked forward and reached out to take it.
At this moment, in the Xuanfu Affairs Hall, Xu Ying said in surprise, "Senior Martial Brother, you gave that seal to him?"
Xiang Chun stroked his beard and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang believes that the right path is to strengthen one's foundation. Since he thinks so, I will give him this seal and see how far he can go. This way, my Xuanfu will not let him down."
Xu Ying waved his sleeve and said, "I am not optimistic. Since the establishment of my Xuanfu, there have only been one or two people who have managed to read this seal. In the end, they were unable to read the next seal because they used up too much Shen Yuan."
Xiang Chun looked at him and said, "Anyway, we do not expect him to read the higher-grade Dao techniques. Let's give him some abilities that can be used to increase his battle strength. Even if this seal cannot be cultivated, it is not without benefits for him. "
Xu Ying nodded and said, "That is true."
Xiang Chun then asked, "How is Martial Nephew Ji?"
When Xu Ying heard this, he was immediately energized and said, "Martial Nephew Ji is indeed a genius. I have passed on the secret technique to him. Now that everything is going well, he will be able to find the secret within a year. In fact, if I am not afraid that he will be too rash, half a year is enough."
Xiang Chun was surprised and said, "So fast?"
Xu Ying smiled and said, "Of course. Senior Martial Brother, I have said long ago that Martial Nephew Ji's talent is unmatched." He was full of anticipation and said, "When Martial Nephew Ji has mastered the Dao technique, he will be able to help Head Xuan deal with the rebels one by one and restore Xuanfu to its former state."
Xiang Chun nodded slowly.
After Zhang Yu bid farewell to Fan Lan, he did not return to the Bamboo Garden Abode. Instead, he took the jade box out of Xuanfu and returned to his residence in the Academy.
On the way, he was thinking.
There was no doubt that Xuanfu had given him considerable support in his cultivation. Among his peers, except for Bai Qingqing, no one else had received such treatment. Perhaps this was because of the talent that he had shown, so they treated him differently.
However, on the other hand, Xiang Chun and the others seemed to be deliberately hiding something from him, as if they were not willing to truly accept him.
This gave him the feeling that Xuanfu's attitude was very divided, like schizophrenia.
He shook his head. Regardless of what Xuanfu thought, he had to do his own thing first.
After returning to his residence, he first teased "Lord Miao Dan" for a while, then returned to his study room, took a few Primary Restoration Pills, and sat on the couch to regulate his breathing. After a summer, he finally came out of his meditation, and then stretched out his hand to open the jade box.
On the red silk, there were two jade scrolls. He looked at them and took the one on the left with the cloud pattern in his hand.
