I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 84 The three methods of upper, middle and lower!
  The brilliant silver light fell, and before everyone could react, there was already a figure on the jade-colored futon in the center of the lecture hall.

It was a middle-aged Taoist with a handsome face wearing a white Taoist robe, a jade belt on his waist, a green hairpin in his hair.

His face was gentle, but his eyes were deep, with an unfathomable aura. With a direct glance, everyone in the hall bowed their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Foundation-building monk.

An existence that refines the energy of heaven and earth, creates the foundation of Taoism, possesses miraculous magic, and lives for 450 years.

"Meet the boss!"

Gu Yuan and others bowed their heads in salute and shouted respectfully to the Taoist priests in the hall.

This person is the head of Qianjiaoyuan, Xiang Ronghua, Taoist named Huaguang, and comes from a poor family.

"Everyone get up!"

The Taoist gently flicked his sleeves, and everyone felt calm in their hearts. It seemed that all impetuous and fearful emotions had dissipated, and they looked at the Taoist calmly and without fear.

"We are all disciples of the Taoist Academy. We seek the Tao calmly. Why should we be afraid?"

The Taoist chuckled, his attitude was very gentle.

Everyone felt warm in their hearts.

"I'm here today. I don't have much to say. I just want to impart some practice experience. Please listen carefully..."

The Taoist didn't hesitate, he said a simple sentence, and then began to talk on his own.

The path of cultivation and the foundation of understanding are all top priorities.

Whether it is visualizing true pictures, breaking bottlenecks, or refining magic seals, it is a continuous understanding of oneself, heaven and earth, and the great road. Over time, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of confusion.

At this time, the Taoist talked eloquently and from a high position, and explained the key points and wonderful points one by one in an understatement.

Gu Yuan also benefited greatly after listening to it. He felt that he had been a little "reckless" in his past practice.

It all depends on the accumulation of resources and the breakthrough of Dharma and fruit. In fact, there are various tricks in the way of practice, which can make breakthroughs cleverly and meticulously.

If Gu Yuan were allowed to practice again, he would probably be able to save hundreds of spirit stones.

For a moment, the entire lecture hall was extremely quiet, except for the gentle voice of the Taoist who continued to sound, like gurgling spring water, flowing slowly.

The seventy-two people outside the main hall listened extremely carefully, for fear of missing a word.

These are real and valuable experiences that can save spiritual stones and practice time.

But on the sixteen futons in the hall, Gu Yuan and others were much calmer.

Because what the Taoist said was basically the experience below the eighth level of Qi refining, they had already broken through. At this time, it was just a matter of revisiting and reviewing, verifying each other's truth, and gaining more insights.

The real teaching is yet to come.

After an unknown amount of time, the Taoist's voice slowly stopped, and the lecture hall suddenly became silent again.

But just a moment later, the Taoist's voice sounded again, but this time, it was to the sixteen people in the inner hall:
  "Today is about practicing and teaching the Dharma. If you have any doubts, feel free to speak up."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was happy, but they did not dare to say anything, but looked at the head of the futon.

Senior Brother Li cleared his throat, bowed to the Taoist, and then asked:

"Disciple is confused, please ask the master for guidance."

"Just say it."

"This disciple has reached the ninth level of qi refining. He has rubbed the true map of qi refining in the transfer hall. However, he has not been able to enter. I am here to ask for advice from the master!"

The middle-aged Taoist glanced at Senior Brother Li with lightning eyes, and then sighed slightly.

"The way to practice lies in your fundamental understanding. If you are not able to get started, it is because your understanding is insufficient and it is difficult for you to understand the method."

"This level is the second level of practice. It is difficult to explain. I can't give you any advice. For now, there are only two ways."

"Please give me some advice, sir!"

"The first is to find Master Jindan, who can teach you and resolve your doubts. He has a high-level view and can help you cultivate the Dharma."

"The second is to look for seals and treasures that can improve understanding. I think you have already understood the method of refining qi. With a little help, you can succeed."    "I don't know where to..."

Hearing this, Senior Brother Li was immediately overjoyed and wanted to ask again, but the middle-aged Taoist monk had already fallen silent and said no more.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Li's sleeves and robes swayed slightly, and a blue jade stone seemed to fall out accidentally.

This jade stone is sparkling and radiant, with natural patterns, like a blue carp swimming in the jade, lifelike and extremely magical.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan couldn't help but turned his head in surprise and looked at Senior Brother Li.

The middle-aged Taoist priest in the hall also lowered his gaze and landed on the jade.

There was no expression on his face, but a golden light suddenly came and fell into the hands of Senior Brother Li.

Senior Brother Li's face suddenly became overjoyed, he held the golden light tightly, and then thanked the Taoist without saying a word.

All this happened so fast that others could hardly see clearly. Then the Taoist's eyes moved slightly and looked at Gu Yuan.

"Do you have any doubts?"

Gu Yuan calmed down, saluted the Taoist, and then asked: "This disciple has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining, but the bottleneck is like a shackle locking his body, and he cannot refine the ninth level of Qi. Please teach me, Master!"

The Taoist glanced at Gu Yuan, seemingly a little surprised, but still replied:

"This matter is difficult to say, easy to say. I have three methods: upper, middle and lower. It depends on your choice."

"Please give me some advice, sir!"

"The method is to find the body seal and improve the root bones. If the root bones are good, the so-called bottleneck will naturally no longer exist."

"In the middle method, there is a way of dual cultivation and a way of different treasures. You can use external forces to break the shackles."

"The method is to swallow pills, practice hard, use water to sharpen your perseverance, and over time, you will continue to wear away your shackles. The ninth level of Qi refining is not a natural chasm. Although this method is clumsy, it is still a way."

After finishing speaking, the Taoist waved his sleeves again and said nothing, just like he did to Senior Brother Li before.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan's sleeves and robes swayed slightly. Like Senior Brother Li, something seemed to fall out of his sleeves and robes inadvertently.

It was a piece of purple wood with bright color and mysterious natural patterns.

Senior Brother Li immediately turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.

But Gu Yuan didn't care to look at him, he just looked at the Taoist.

"Shh!"

With a flick of the Taoist's fingers, a golden jade talisman appeared in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He held the jade talisman with his backhand and put it away. He stopped talking and just listened quietly.

Then, from the futon on the right, a respectful voice came from asking for advice.

"My disciple, something went wrong in my practice recently, and my meridians are aching..."

"Disciple wants to find a way to refine the seal..."

"disciple……"

Questions for advice rang out in the inner hall, one after another, and the Taoist answered them one by one, but he spoke very quickly, not giving the disciples a chance to ask questions again.

When the last person had finished asking for advice, the middle-aged Taoist turned into a stream of light and disappeared in an instant, as if he had never appeared before.

Then, there was a lot of discussion in the inner hall. Some people had relaxed expressions on their faces, while others were sighing.

Senior Brother Li, who was sitting in the first seat, turned to look at Gu Yuan with a playful smile on his face:
  "I didn't expect that my junior brother is also a wonderful person!"

"This purple jade soothing incense is extremely well chosen. Master Xiang loves such elegant things the most."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan also turned around and chuckled: "It's just the boss showing mercy, it's nothing compared to senior brother's green carp jade!"

The two looked at each other and looked at the golden talismans in each other's hands, with smiles on their faces.
