The Chicken Soup Holy Monk did not say anything. He just stared at Lu Qingshan, waiting for Lu Qingshan to make his own decision.
Between smart people, words were often like this, stopping at a certain point.
Lu Qingshan had many thoughts in his mind.
There was no free lunch in the sky.
Even if it was a merciful Bodhisattva, if you wanted him to protect all living beings, you first had to offer incense and pray sincerely every day.
The Chicken Soup Holy Monk's words also implied this.
Today's Buddhist karma would definitely be repaid in the future.
If the Chicken Soup Holy Monk did not say that the Dao of Qi Refinement was the best, Lu Qingshan would definitely refuse this Buddhist karma without hesitation.
After all, his Sword Sect's Qi Refinement was also the same Dao, so why would he give up what was near and seek what was far away?
But the Dao of Qi Refinement was different.
With the Chicken Soup Holy Monk's identity, he naturally could not deceive him.
Qi Refinement was the beginning of Dao, and the Qi Refinement was the strongest Dao of Qi Refinement. Its temptation was self-evident, and it was worthy of being called a solid foundation for Buddhist techniques.
Successful people in the world were more or less perfectionists in character, and some would even reach the point of being paranoid.
Lu Qingshan had not reached the point of being paranoid, but such a "perfect" Dao of Qi Refinement was placed in front of him. He could not just wave his hand and refuse.
Understanding what he wanted, Lu Qingshan did not pretend to be reserved, "I am willing to form this Buddhist karma with your esteemed temple. What should I do?"
"Sword cultivators are originally Daoists, and Daoists have saints who set up sutras. Their thoughts are pure, and they seek tranquility. Their techniques are passed down through scriptures.
However, our Buddhist Sect's Buddha did things like feeding the eagle with his own body. He used his actions to establish his heart, but not his holy words. Therefore, our Buddhist Sect's inheritance pays particular attention to a little bit of enlightenment. "The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup smiled kindly.
Lu Qingshan put his palms together, "I'll have to trouble Holy Monk."
Seeing Lu Qingshan's decisiveness, the old monk lowered his eyebrows and said, "Very good."
Then, the Eighth Realm Holy Monk lightly drew a line on his finger.
His Vajra Indestructible Body instantly broke, and a drop of blood that was as solid as mercury seeped out from it.
However, the blood was not the usual scarlet color, but a bright golden color. Lu Qingshan was very familiar with it.
It was exactly the same as the bowl of 'chicken soup' he drank earlier!
At this point, how could he not understand that the so-called chicken soup was actually the Vajra Buddha's blood?
The drop of Vajra blood on the Holy Monk's finger blossomed with boundless Buddhist light.
The old monk smiled and tapped Lu Qingshan's glabella with his finger.
This drop of blood quickly entered his body and disappeared. The Buddhist light was extinguished.
However, in his sea of consciousness, the sky was lit up with Buddhist light.
A dark green dragon-elephant appeared in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness, galloping.
The Dragon Elephant was only the size of a fist, but it emitted a sound as loud as a bell, causing his mind to buzz.
The voice was a gatha.
"If you want to be a dragon or elephant, you must first be a horse or an ox for all living beings!"
In his Knowledge Sea, the sound of these words continued to surge, and Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
A feeling of vastness, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, came over.
Wasn't being a horse or an ox for all living beings the same thing?
Lu Qingshan seemed to have understood something. He tentatively released his divine sense to contact and communicate with the Dragon Elephant that possessed supreme divine power.
Buzz!
After a moment, a vast number of words were transmitted over and entered his mind.
[Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique] (Qi Refinement)
Grade: Dao Level
Description: If you want to be a dragon or elephant, you must first be a horse or an ox for all living beings. This Qi Refinement technique has a total of 10 levels.
Technique Effect 1: For every increase in level, the upper limit of spiritual energy will increase by 40 points.
Technique Effect 2: Spiritual energy recovery speed + 100%
Technique Effect 3: When the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique is cultivated to level 10, the upper limit of spiritual energy will increase by 200 points.
Technique Effect 4: The spiritual energy cultivated by the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique is of extremely high quality.
Technique Effect 5: When the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique is cultivated to level 10, the divine ability [Unbreakable] will be grasped.
[Unbreakable]
Description: Break through the void and become unbreakable.
Additional Description 1: The 'Spirit' of the human body is the acupoints. The 360 acupoints govern the operation of the human body, just like the Immortal God that governs all things in the world. Break through the acupoint shackles and one can see the Spirit, understand the minute details, and know that one is oneself.
Additional Description 2: Seeing the Spirit and Awakening the Acupoints are divided into 9,367,2360 stages. Once one stage is completed, one can choose to break through the realm.
Additional Description 3: Once the acupoint shackles are broken, one can perfectly control the acupoints and control one's own body.
Current Divinized Acupoints: 0/9 (upper limit: 360)
Technique Effect 6: Experience required to level up the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique + 100%.
.....
"Break through the void and become unbreakable," Lu Qingshan muttered.
No wonder the Holy Monk in Chicken Soup said that the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique had a solid foundation and a bright future, but progress was slow.
It turned out that everything was due to this' Unbreakable 'divine ability.
The 'Spirit' in the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique did not refer to the Immortals in the heavens, but to the 360 acupoints in one's own body.
Once the shackles of the acupoints were broken and one could see the 'Spirit', the cultivator could perfectly control his own strength and become a divine spirit that could control his own body.
Perfect control of one's own strength, just by looking at it, was a very illusory thing that was difficult to understand.
To make a crude analogy, if two people were able to lift a hundred pounds of weight, one was well-trained and the other was a normal person.
The well-trained person would know how to exert his own strength better, so a punch from him might have the strength of eighty to ninety pounds, or even a hundred pounds.
A punch from a normal person would only have the strength of fifty to sixty pounds.
The difference was huge. If the two of them were to fight, the outcome would be self-evident.
Moreover, being able to control one's own body also meant that one could use the strength hidden in one's own body.
The logic was simple. When faced with a terrifying disaster, a person would often be able to exert strength that they could not imagine on normal days. It was commonly known as' Seed Explosion '.
However, this kind of 'Seed Explosion' situation was something that could only be encountered by chance. Once it was over, no matter how much one tortured themselves, they would not be able to exert the terrifying strength they had at that time.
The meaning of 'Unbreakable' was to allow the cultivator to achieve Seed Explosion at any time.
This remarkable ability did not have much significance in the early stages, because the cultivator's foundation of strength in the early stages was too low, and it was difficult to see the difference.
However, when one reached a higher realm, the terrifying aspects would begin to show.
Ten percent of ten was only ten percent, but ten percent of ten thousand was a thousand. This was the concept.
If one were to break through the void of all the primordial acupoints in one's body and cultivate to a higher realm, what kind of power would one have at that time?
Lu Qingshan's mind involuntarily became active at this moment.
Immediately, he began to cultivate according to the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards his body.
However, after one cycle of spiritual energy, Lu Qingshan stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes …
There was no other reason. The poor quality of his spiritual roots was a fact that he could not change.
For a top-notch technique like the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique, if he did not rely on experience points, it would be very difficult for him to cultivate and make progress.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry.
When he had time, he would just use his experience points.
The old monk saw that Lu Qingshan had opened his eyes and seemed to have something to say but stopped.
"Holy monk, if you have something to say, just say it." Lu Qingshan smiled.
The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup thought for a while and slowly said, "I see that you are not more than twenty years old. Before you severed your Dao foundation, you already had the cultivation of a Nascent Soul.
You also won first place in the Dao Debate of the Seven Regions and became famous throughout the world.
Internally, you nurtured your Natal Flying Sword and externally, you cultivated the Secret Sword of Heaven. You are said to be both internal and external. Your comprehension of the concept is even more impressive. Your talent is truly rare in the world. "
After a pause, the old monk spat out the last sentence, "Why is it that when I saw you cultivating my Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique, the momentum of the spiritual energy was like that of a trickling stream?"
Fine, he was disdaining his cultivation speed for being too slow. However, he did not expect that this Holy Monk would actually know the euphemism of wanting to suppress one's desire to rise first.
Lu Qingshan said sincerely, "I won't hide it from you, Holy Monk. I do have some talent in the Dao of the Sword. It's just that I am a little slow on the path of cultivation."
The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup, who was called the Holy Monk of the Buddhist Sect by the Tianji Temple, was silent for a while. Then, he exhaled and said calmly, "Benefactor, you must be joking."
The great principles of the world were generally like this. When you speak the truth, often no one will believe you.
Just like in his era, people who always said they were poor, no matter if they were really poor or not, others seemed to not believe them.
Lu Qingshan smiled. Because he had obtained the Dragon Elephant Mystic Technique, he was in a good mood and did not take it to heart.
"Benefactor, because of a flaw in your Dao foundation, you had the courage to sever your own Dao foundation. You must be a person who has extremely strict requirements for yourself.
However, the matter of Enlightening the Apertures is a painstaking effort and there is no shortcut.
Therefore, for this magical power that is useless in the early stage and will only become outstanding in the later stage, the cultivator has to make a choice about how much time he has to spend on it.
Perfection is a good thing, but don't let a good thing turn into a bad thing. "The old monk did not haggle over the matter of talent, but turned his head and exhorted.
Enlightening the Apertures could not be done quickly, but when the Qi Refining stage, the cultivator was still a mortal. If too much time was wasted in this realm, after the body's Qi and blood declined, the cultivator would be able to advance. Even if he opened more Apertures, the gains would not make up for the losses.
In the Dragon Elephant Temple, in order to pursue the perfect opening of all 360 Apertures, he had wasted too much time in the Qi Refining Realm, which led to him not being able to become a high-level cultivator and not being able to display the power of Seeing Gods Unbreakable. It was not uncommon for him to work for nothing.
In other words, he had worked hard to earn a pile of money, but before he could enjoy it, he died.
The word "choice" had always been like this, running through the path of cultivation.
Although Lu Qingshan had a card up his sleeve, he understood the good intentions of the Holy Monk of Chicken Soup very well. His eyes were much gentler, and he said with a smile, "I understand."
.....
After this matter was settled, Lu Qingshan retreated from the Great Buddha's Hall.
The handsome Little Monk Jue Zhen was already waiting outside the hall. Beside him stood Qin Yitian.
Seeing Lu Qingshan come out, Jue Zhen and Lu Qingshan bowed to him. Then, they suddenly sensed the aura on Lu Qingshan, which was of the same origin as their own. Their faces were shocked, but they quickly hid their expressions and did not show anything.
After Lu Qingshan left, Jue Zhen slowly entered the hall.
"Master," Jue Zhen said respectfully.
"You're here." The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup nodded slightly.
"Master, why does Almsgiver Lu have the aura of our Buddhist Sect's cultivation method?" Jue Zhen did not have many scruples in front of his master, who was closest to him, and asked directly.
"I taught him the Qi Refining chapter of our Dragon Elephant Mystic Skill," the Holy Monk of Chicken Soup said bluntly in front of his little disciple.
"Ah?!" Jue Zhen exclaimed softly, puzzled and surprised. "Master, why would you teach an outsider the Dragon Elephant cultivation method? Won't you be held responsible by the four great sects? "
"Ever since the Seven Regions Debate, the Seven Great Sects have been much more open about cultivation methods.
Now that the clan is facing a crisis, there are naturally changes in the laws and rules.
With my status, using the Qi Refining chapter of the 《Dragon Elephant Mysterious Art》 to form a Buddhist bond with Lu Qingshan is something I can afford to do. "The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup shook his head and said with a smile," Don't worry, Master. "
"Master, do you think highly of this Lu Qingshan?" Jue Zhen asked again.
"He has the root of wisdom and Buddha nature, and he's a genius sword cultivator." The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup smiled lightly and said, "In the future, this person will make the Bodhisattva bow his head."
"For a secular tribe, he dares to do such a thing. He's a real sword cultivator.
Today, he has received the Buddhist bond of our Chicken Soup Temple, and he'll remember it in the future. "The Holy Monk of Chicken Soup concluded.
In fact, there was something else that the Holy Monk of Chicken Soup had hidden in his heart.
The reason he used the Dragon Elephant Mystic Skill to form a Buddhist bond was not only because he thought highly of Lu Qingshan's future, but also because he saw the day when the Chicken Soup Temple would be in trouble.
Jue Zhen put his palms together and said no more about this matter.
.....
Lu Qingshan walked out of the Great Buddha's Hall and walked side by side with Qin Yitian. After a few steps, a Cultivation Monk in gray linen came to greet them.
"Holy Monk Jue Zhen has instructed me to lead the way for you. If there's anywhere you'd like to go, feel free to tell me." The Cultivation Monk in gray bowed politely to the two of them.
"I'm interested in the customs of the Chicken Soup Temple. Would it be convenient for you to show me around the temple?" Lu Qingshan replied.
"Of course, there's no problem. Sir, please follow me," the Cultivation monk answered.
Although he was polite on the surface, the Cultivation Monk in gray's mind was in a mess.
'The other Cultivation Monks all said that of the two important guests in the temple, the woman looks like Guanyin. Why didn't anyone tell me that the man is handsome and doesn't look like an ordinary person?'
"It's just that this female benefactor looks extraordinary. How did this male benefactor become an esteemed guest of our Buddhist Sect despite not having any cultivation? Could it be that he has an extraordinary background, or … '
Unconsciously, looking at Qin Yitian who was looking down at Lu Qingshan, the Cultivation Monk in gray's mind wandered to the so-called hard or soft rice.
He cared about what was lacking, and even envied what was lacking. It was a universal phenomenon.
Although this was a Buddhist temple, the Cultivation Monk was only a Cultivation Monk of the lowest level. Could his state of mind really be as high as the Vajra Realm, where he had no desires?
He was a mediocre man, not to mention a monk with a bald head and Buddhist robes. How good could he be?
Of course, he could give countless examples to prove that a person's appearance had nothing to do with their achievements.
Many of the Holy Monks in Dragon Elephant were mediocre people.
But this did not change the fact that the man in front of him seemed to be able to make a living with his looks. It did not change the fact that the Cultivation Monk in gray was somewhat envious.
"Amitabha." The Cultivation Monk in gray chanted the name of Buddha silently, pulling his wandering thoughts back. At the same time, he scolded himself for having bad intentions.
Lu Qingshan obviously didn't know that in just a few short breaths of time, the cultivation monk in front of him had even secretly slandered him. However, at the very least, on the surface, this monk displayed sufficient respect for him.
That was enough.
Everything was based on the appearance, not the heart.
The Cultivation Monk did not look sideways as he led Lu Qingshan through the halls and halls. They walked through a few unique places in the temple.
There was no way he could take Lu Qingshan to see the important and secret places in the temple. He could only give him a rough understanding of the Buddhist customs.
Cluck, cluck, cluck —
Outside a meditation room, Lu Qingshan suddenly heard a few strange sounds.
"What's this?" He was curious because the sounds sounded like … a rooster's crowing?
"Benefactor, please follow me." The Cultivation Monk in gray smiled knowingly and led Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian out of the long corridor.
A vast flat ground was hidden behind.
Then, Lu Qingshan was a little dazed.
Because there really was a rooster in Chicken Soup Temple …
A fat hen with incomparably bright feathers was shaking its butt as it ran happily on the flat ground. Its thick beak was constantly pecking on the ground.
When he looked again, there was a dark golden dragon on the ground. It looked extremely mystical and was crawling around in a panic.
"This is the abbot's chicken," the Cultivation Monk in gray introduced. "She chases after this centipede and pecks it every day. It's been like this since I entered the temple. It's like a mission. I don't know how long this has been going on for."
"Old hen, why do you chase after me and peck me every day?" The dark golden centipede seemed to be irritated by the old hen's pursuit. It actually spoke in human language angrily.
The big hen only raised her head and stood on one leg. She clucked twice and said proudly, "I'm a hen."
Lu Qingshan's mouth twitched. He was shocked and wanted to spit out a mouthful of profanities.
Old hen, you'll get your money deducted if you talk like that.
"The abbot raised this chicken. The centipede crawled over on its own.
They listen to the abbot recite Buddhist teachings all day. After a while, they gradually gained Buddhist nature and spoke in human language, "the Cultivation Monk in gray explained with a smile." Master Preaching Monk also raised an oriole.
We all say that the day the oriole speaks in human language, the day he preached Master Preaching Monk's teachings, he succeeded. "
Lu Qingshan thought about it and felt a little emotional.
