Gu Bei was silent for a moment. Behind every individual cultivator, there was a bitter and difficult story. Cultivating to the point where there were no cultivation methods, no spirit stones, and no orthodoxy was also very strange. But then again, only a blank piece of paper could draw the most beautiful picture. Perhaps this was the beginning of this cigarette butt's bitterness and sweetness?
"You might not understand what kind of place Xuanyuan is.
Let me tell you, Xuanyuan Sword School has been established for tens of thousands of years, but it has never collected a single spirit stone from its disciples!
Whether it's cultivation methods, swordsmanship, or Immortal's Cave … never!
Aside from being worried that you'll bite off more than you can chew, so you'll be restricted in terms of level and quantity, everything else is open!
If you're willing, we can go to Wenguang Peak's Fan Lou or Qianxiu Peak's Bo 'ao Pavilion right now. Over there, just by relying on your identity as a Xuanyuan Swordsman, you can face tens of thousands of cultivation methods and swordsmanship. You can choose and use them as you wish!
In Xuanyuan Sword School, no one ever felt that there was a lack of cultivation methods and swordsmanship! The disciples' only complaint was that there were too many cultivation methods and swordsmanship was too profound. They'd rather have fewer, at least they wouldn't be blinded by their choices!
This is Xuanyuan! If you have the ability, you can learn ten thousand types!
As for basic cultivation methods, all of Xuanyuan's basic cultivation methods lead directly to the Great Dao. There are systems and inheritances, and the only end point along this path is the Immortal Realm!
Those that don't lead directly to the Great Dao aren't worthy of being placed on Xuanyuan's bookshelves! "
If it were a young Foundation Establishment cultivator who was only a few decades old, these words would definitely make his blood boil!
But Lou Xiaoyi wasn't! Adding to that the countless years he'd been drifting in the universe, he didn't even know how long he'd lived. His body might only be thirty years, but his spirit was immeasurable!
He knew that Gu Bei's words had their basis, but they weren't necessarily true. Cultivation included countless directions. Not using spirit stones or hard work didn't conform to the essence of cultivation.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now! I'm lacking a cultivation method right now, so we can't delay! "
Gu Bei stopped him as he was about to climb onto the flying boat. "Wait! Before you choose a cultivation method, you must first determine your direction!
Dafa Xiang Wuji, what cultivation method do you choose? Wasn't that just fooling around?
Come, I'll tell you about the direction of Xuanyuan's orthodoxy. Three days later, you'll have the opportunity to make your choice. After you've made your choice, I'll take you to pick out some cultivation methods and secret techniques! "
Lou Xiaoyi understood in his heart. He knew that this would be the case. After the old man finished making the promise, he began to shirk the responsibility and find all kinds of excuses! 'Fine, I've endured it for a few years. I'll wait three more days. Let's see what else you have to say then!'
He believed in the strength of the Fifth Ring sects, but the moment they opened their mouths, they talked about tens of thousands of cultivation methods and secret techniques, and even said that each of them led directly to the Great Dao. Were they treating him like a child who didn't know better?
Gu Bei said solemnly, "My Xuanyuan is different from other Daoist sects. Other Daoist sects have countless branches. Dafa has tens of branches, while smaller sects have hundreds. For example, the so-called Daoist School of Supreme Daoism's outstanding talents, the Three Clear Daoist Schools, are all like this!
Actually, they were scattered but not together. They were like a bunch of loose sand. They knew everything, but they were all sloppy!
My Xuanyuan doesn't learn from them! "
Lou Xiaoyi quietly listened to Gu Bei trample on others. This couldn't be more normal. Those of the same trade were enemies. Looking down on each other was a normal mentality in the cultivation world! He was listening to Gu Bei trample on the Three Clear Ones, so the new Foundation Establishment cultivators who had gone to the Supreme Daoist sects must also be listening to the Daoist sects trample on the Swordsman!
Trampling on others was healthier!
After trampling on Daoist sects, Gu Bei went straight to the point.
"Xuanyuan only has two directions. It was like this tens of thousands of years ago, and it's still the same now!
Xuanyuan is divided into the Inner and Outer Sword. The Inner Sword Lineage, and the Outer Sword Lineage!
The Inner Sword, cultivators cultivate their Sword Pellet in their Niwan Palace. It's formless and without substance. The Alkaid Sword is unstoppable. It starts at the impermanence and ends at the Dafa!
The Outer Sword, cultivators cultivate their Flying Swords in their Sword Sheaths. It has form and without substance. It's long and can strike far away. It can rush back and forth with the strength of a thousand catties. It can cut rivers and split mountains!
Only when you're sure of which direction you want to go can you take the next step in choosing cultivation methods and sword techniques!
In terms of cultivation methods, the Inner and Outer Swords are different. They focus on different areas and overlap. They're fifty percent similar. In terms of sword techniques, they're completely different. They're basically two extremes.
Thus, the direction is very important! "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. Then, he asked a question that almost every new cultivator would ask.
"Which one is powerful? Quick to see results? Easy to deal with? Easy to get started? "
Gu Bei sighed. When he first entered the sect, he had also asked the same question. In the end, he had been fiercely taught a lesson by the Senior Brother who had guided him. It was as if it had happened yesterday.
"It's impossible for the things you've mentioned to coexist! The powerful ones will definitely put in more effort, more time, and more unremitting effort!
In theory, there's no difference between the Inner Sword and the Outer Sword. It all depends on one's innate talent and strength. However, in my Xuanyuan Sword School, people advocate the Inner Sword more, but the number of people who cultivate the Outer Sword is much higher than the Inner Sword! "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't understand. "Why? Isn't this contradictory? "
Gu Bei sighed. "Because the threshold for the Inner Sword is too high. It requires the approval of the Sword Pill! If you can't get the approval of the Sword Pill, you can only obediently learn the Outer Sword. There's no threshold for the Outer Sword. Anyone can learn it!
Three days later, there will be a Sword Selection Assembly. You new disciples, as well as some previous disciples, will participate. Whoever can obtain the Sword Pill will enter the Inner Sword!
If you can't, then make the Outer Sword your lifelong goal. Or wait until the next time to try your luck!
The sect has rules. All Xuanyuan disciples only have two chances to choose the Sword Pill. If you can't succeed in both attempts, you can only enter the Outer Sword lineage!
This is only a matter of choice, not a matter of superiority. It doesn't mean that the Outer Sword is necessarily weaker than the Inner Sword … "
Lou Xiaoyi understood. He had some experience, so how could he not understand the meaning behind it? Saying that there was no superiority between the Inner Sword and the Outer Sword was just to not destroy the unity of the sect. It was like a big meal. There were spirit beast meat and vegetables. Could you say that vegetables could fill your stomach just because you couldn't get the spirit beast meat?
"The number of Sword Pills is very small compared to the number of cultivators, right?" He quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
"Yes. This problem has troubled Xuanyuan for tens of thousands of years. There hasn't been a proper solution …" Gu Bei was slightly embarrassed.
"Does the Sword Pill have its own intelligence? So the Sword Pill chooses and not the other way around? "When Lou Xiaoyi put aside his prejudices, his insight was still very sharp.
"That's not entirely the case. To be precise, this is a two-way selection process. The Sword Pill chooses the person, and the person chooses the Sword Pill. But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the Sword Pill is more inclined to choose the person. As long as the Sword Pill shows its intention to get close to a cultivator, basically no cultivator will reject it! Especially for people like you who choose for the first time … "
It was still the Sword Pill that chose the person!
These two problems were actually the same problem. The reason why there were so few Sword Pills and why they were in short supply was because they needed to contain intelligence. If they didn't have intelligence, then they were just ordinary iron. It had nothing to do with the material.
