It wasn't that Lou Xiaoyi couldn't find someone to teach. In Xuanyuan, if you made a request, they would definitely arrange it for you. However, the problem was that he didn't know which Enlightened Master had a similar path as him, so he couldn't be careless about it.
In Jin Dan, they weren't primary school students who had to learn according to the teacher's instructions. Instead, everyone had their own direction and specialties. If you didn't match the teacher, how could you teach them?
In this aspect, the Dome of the Five Rings was the most familiar. Cultivators focused on self-study, and then they could choose from different Enlightened Masters to achieve the best learning results.
However, this was based on the fact that there were many Enlightened Masters in the Five Rings. The Soaring Heaven Pavilion had enough people to arrange Enlightened Masters in different directions. They covered almost every aspect of the Swordsman, saving time for both sides.
However, it couldn't be done here!
He didn't deliberately want to obtain anything from Zhonglao Peak, but to a group of old people who had struggled their whole lives on the path of Dao, it was necessary to show proper respect. In any case, he was very relaxed right now and had time to arrange his own pace of life.
Stepping onto Zhonglao Peak, to show respect, he didn't choose to fly. Instead, he climbed the mountain with his feet on the ground. The scenery of Zhonglao Peak was very ordinary among the thirteen peaks of Xiao Mountain. All of its characteristics could be described with one word: ordinary.
However, it was precisely this kind of ordinariness that suited the mood of the old people.
Most of the old people who lived on Zhonglao Peak were Yuanying, and very few were Jin Dan. Although Zhonglao Peak didn't have such a rule that one had to be at a certain realm to enter, when most of the people were Jin Dan, an old man of Yuanying would feel embarrassed to enter.
For Jin Dan cultivators, their age was limited after all. Most of the mortal families were under their care, so returning to their families was the choice of many people. Even if they didn't have a family, it was still possible to establish one themselves.
Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators were different. They had a lifespan of thousands of years and could easily wander the universe for hundreds of years. This made it difficult for them to take care of their family. In addition, it was difficult for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators to have children. They had a thorough understanding of the essence of life, so basically no one returned to the mortal world. They would rather spend their last moments in the sect.
In the eyes of mortals, there was no such thing as old cultivators. They would either roam the world unhindered, or they would die and reincarnate. But in reality, cultivators would also grow old!
The aging of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would occur at the end of their life due to the loss of their magic power. This process would be very fast, which was often seen in the eyes of mortals. Perhaps they could still fly in the sky today, but the next day they would die. This was because their bodies could not withstand the pressure of losing their magic power.
Jin Dan was in a better situation. When their mana and spirit started to decline towards the end of their lives, due to the base of their mana and the solid foundation of their bodies, they often still had more than ten years left. This was enough time for them to arrange their own affairs and even have the ability to establish a family in the mortal world.
When it came to Yuanying, this process became even longer. This was the dividing line for high-level cultivators. The weakening of their mana and spirit had a slow process of decline, and the toughness of their bodies was completely incomparable to that of low-level cultivators. Therefore, they could often persist for more than ten years, and even live for more than a hundred years!
During this period, their combat ability would become weaker and weaker with the passing of time. The upper realm was like the moon in the water, ethereal and unattainable. The only thing they could do was to grow flowers and grass, cultivate their body and mind, and in the final stage, understand the meaning of life.
The natural death of a True Monarch would be even longer. Those who already had a deeper understanding of the realm of Dao would often choose to exile themselves to the universe, drifting in the void or on some desolate planet to end their lives.
This was the natural death of cultivators at different realms. Everyone was different, and could not be lumped together.
In this place, when facing these old men and women, one did not dare to use one's divine sense to sweep around. One could only walk with one's tail between one's legs and one's head shrunk. This was because the old men here did not turn bad because they were old, but because the bad guys turned old!
As they walked past a gentle slope, a loud voice shouted, "Stop! Brat, you stepped on my vase! "
Lou Xiaoyi's heart trembled. This was a natural gentle slope, and there were no traces of sowing. It was probably a vase flower, and he stepped on its seed.
He hurriedly took a step to the side, and the voice sounded again, "I stepped on another one!"
Helpless, he could only float up. The voice was still unforgiving, "You're blocking the sunlight!"
How difficult to serve! Lou Xiaoyi did not lose his temper, and followed the voice to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know farming, and I've spoiled senior's sowing … "
An old man dressed like an old farmer came out from the forest next to him. He was barefoot and wore a cloth coat, and in his hand, there was a black lump that emitted a foul smell. It was unknown what it was.
He glared at him and said, "Brat, what are you doing here instead of doing what you youngsters should do? The atmosphere here is gloomy, and the sun is no longer shining. This is not a place you should be! "
Lou Xiaoyi bowed to the old man properly, and did not hide anything. These old Yuanying who were on the verge of death might not be at the peak of their magic power and spirit, but their vision, knowledge, and experience were all better than his by a few hundred streets. Exaggerating here would only leave a bad impression, and there would be nothing else.
"Brat, Cigarette Butt, from the Fifth Ring. I've just entered Xiao Mountain, and I'm very curious! I've heard that there are wise people gathered at Elder Peak, and I yearn for it.
There's no one to preach on Xiao Mountain, so I came here to see if I can try my luck and get some wonderful words to dispel the doubts in my heart! "
The old man waved his hand. "There's no wonderful words! There's no profound meaning! If there was, we wouldn't waste our lives here, eating and waiting for death!
Although there aren't many preachers on Xiao Mountain, there are other ways. With the Rising Heaven Pavilion's arrangement, there will be a Daoist to dispel your doubts!
Brat, you've come to the wrong place! "
However, Lou Xiaoyi refused. "There's no profound meaning, but it's good to have agricultural skills! I've been nervous passing my fifth ring, so of course I have to learn how to cultivate my body and mind here. If Senior has no interest, this brat can go elsewhere. If you need help, this brat can also do something! "
The old man was disdainful. There were many Gold Core cultivators who came to the Old Man Peak to seek guidance and fated chances like this. Almost every Gold Core cultivator on Mount Xiao had done this before, but who could actually obtain anything?
The Swordsman's Dao was hard work, research, and talent. Relying on others' guidance to soar to the heavens was a wrong attitude in itself!
Those Jin Dan came here for ten days to half a month at the shortest, and a year or several years at the longest. In the end, they all knew that their efforts were useless, and retreated in the face of difficulties. Who actually obtained anything?
The Dao of these old men who were on the verge of death was not the Dao of young people. It was too gloomy, and they had entered the Dao too deeply. It was not something that cultivators at the level of Jin Dan could understand, and it was easy for them to deviate from the correct path. Thus, on Elder Peak, no one would truly guide these Jin Dan!
