The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 197 The Great Perfection of Qi Refining

Years fly by, time flies by.

Counting on the fingers of one hand, a full year has passed since the disciples from all the Dao Temples gathered together to challenge the Longxiang Dao Temple and win the qualification to enter Lingbao Lake, and it was the time when Lingbao Lake was about to open.

Ever since Zhang Jingyuan defeated Zhong Zhijun last year, all the challenges and competitions have instantly become boring.

Even Du Lingfeng, the chief senior brother of Shanhai Taoist Academy, versus Shen Chengxian, the chief senior brother of Longxiang Taoist Academy, which logically should be regarded as a wonderful finale, has become like this.

After all, with Zhang Jingyuan's jade sword in front, the competition between Shen Chengxian and Du Lingfeng felt like novices pecking each other, and it was simply a waste of everyone's time.

If you have time to watch this competition, you might as well practice hard in the training room.

Well, that's right, they are imitating Zhang Jingyuan.

After all, seeing how powerful Zhang Jingyuan is, any monk with an active mind will definitely consider a question.

That's why Zhang Jingyuan is so powerful?

Putting aside talent, spiritual roots, chance, etc., which cannot be changed, can be encountered but cannot be sought, something common, but something that everyone can imitate, instantly appeared on the paper and appeared in front of everyone.

That is Zhang Jingyuan's extraordinary and extraordinary character, which is devoted to the Tao. To be precise, he doesn't care about worldly things and stays in seclusion.

You can’t learn anything else, but you can always learn this retreat practice, right?
No matter how harsh or picky you are, you have to admit that Zhang Jingyuan's strength is definitely related to Zhang Jingyuan's silent retreat for the past seven years.

Therefore, for a time, the number of disciples in Longxiang Taoist Academy who worked hard to retreat and improve themselves became more and more.

It has even formed a trend. If something has nothing to do with practice and cannot help improve your realm and strength, then it is best to ignore it and continue to retreat.

In the minds of some people, it seems that as long as they work hard and retreat more, they can become the next Zhang Jingyuan and possess extraordinary strength.

Not only in retreat, but even Zhang Jingyuan's every move, word, deed, walk and talk are now being imitated.

There is no other way. For many people, imitating and learning from the strong is a good way to improve their own strength.

As a result, Zhang Jingyuan had a great influence on the words and deeds of these Taoist disciples.

In the entire Taoist temple, not only were there more people working hard to practice, but there were also far fewer fights and quarrels.

To be honest, as the dean, Qu Weiguang wanted to issue a big certificate of commendation to Zhang Jingyuan. The grand scene that he had longed for for a long time and everyone became a Taoist actually came true because of Zhang Jingyuan.

At this moment, Tianzhu Peak, which was usually empty, suddenly seemed to be filled with hundreds of ducks. It was full of people and lively.

Some Taoist teachers were so annoyed that they had to strengthen the forbidden notes at the door of their caves, and then followed these uninvited guests.

Anyway, this day only comes in fifty years, so they can bear it.

That's right, these uninvited guests are the top fifty disciples of Longxiang Taoist Academy who are qualified to enter Lingbao Lake in Qi Refining Great Perfection, as well as other disciples of Shanhai Taoist Academy who have succeeded in the challenge, as well as the Mengmen like Zhao Shiwen and Yuan Zifan who came to join in the number. Chief Yin.

There is no way, who let Lingbao Lake be right next to Tianzhu Peak.

Or to be precise, it is precisely because of the continuous replenishment and nourishment of various spiritual energy in Lingbao Lake that Tianzhu Peak can become the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Longxiang Taoist Temple.

And the reason why so many people come here is because the rules of the Taoist Academy are like this.

Although Du Lingfeng and Zhong Zhijun succeeded in their challenge, it does not mean that the disciples of Longxiang Taoist Academy who were successfully challenged have lost the qualification to enter Lingbao Lake. They still have it.

They simply serve as a standard to measure the entry into Lingbao Lake, or the threshold.

After all, this Lingbao Lake belongs to Longxiang Taoist Temple. If all the people who enter are disciples from other Taoist schools, this is obviously inconsistent with the original intention of establishing Lingbao Lake. Moreover, wouldn't Longxiang Taoist Temple become the main target? Make wedding clothes for others for free.

How could anyone do such a stupid thing?

In the same way, the Shanhai Taoist Academy's Baoliang Mountain also followed a similar routine. The other Taoist disciples who won would only be qualified to enter the Baoliang Mountain, and the 50 places in the Shanhai Daoist Academy would not be affected at all.

As for how these two guys, Zhao Shiwen and Yuan Zifan, got in, it was naturally because their cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and above, and they got in through the special preferential treatment given to the chief by the Taoist Academy.

Needless to say, Zhao Shiwen had perfected his Qi Refining Perfection and coupled with Meng Yin’s chief status, who could prevent him from entering Lingbao Lake.

Yuan Zifan was originally not qualified. After all, he had only reached the eighth level of Qi Refining before, but he did not know what stimulation he received. At the beginning of this year, he was suddenly promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining. And because of Zhang Jingyuan's victory, the welfare of these Mengyin chiefs has not been reduced too much. He can still be counted as the chief of the ninth level of Qi Refining and has the qualification to enter Lingbao Lake.

Therefore, Yuan Zifan really needs to thank Zhang Jingyuan.

"Senior Brother Zhang is really able to keep his composure. He can actually delay such a big matter without showing up until now. Although Lingbao Lake is right next to Tianzhu Peak, he can walk over in two steps. But that’s not why I haven’t come yet.”

Yuan Zifan complained in a muffled voice to Zhao Shiwen.

He originally hoped that if he came a little earlier, he would be able to meet Zhang Jingyuan earlier, and maybe even get some advice from Zhang Jingyuan.

Hearing this, Zhao Shiwen nodded in approval. He had the same idea, and he found that during this period, Zhang Jingyuan's retreat time was getting longer and longer. He came several times but never saw Zhang Jingyuan.

Like Zhao Shiwen, Yuan Zifan and others, Du Lingfeng, Zhong Zhijun, and even Longxiang Taoist Academy headed by Shen Chengxian were eagerly looking forward to Zhang Jingyuan's appearance.

After all, after this year of fermentation, in their minds, Zhang Jingyuan has been regarded as a role model for progress. It is not easy to see Zhang Jingyuan again. How can they not be excited, how can they not want to know, Zhang Jingyuan this year, What kind of progress has there been?

However, as everyone's mood gradually became irritable, some Longxiang Taoist disciples who were familiar with Zhao Shiwen and Yuan Zifan even encouraged them to invite Zhang Jingyuan.

When Zhao Shiwen was hesitating, out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw a white figure walking leisurely and leisurely up the steps. His eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Zhang is here, come on. Over there."

As soon as these words came out, a group of people all looked in the direction Zhao Shiwen said.

Before Zhang Jingyuan could get closer, he suddenly saw darkness in front of him. Almost all the monks saluted him and said in admiration, "I have seen Senior Brother Zhang."

Unexpectedly, everyone would suddenly come out like this. Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but pause in his steps and said in a state of laughter and tears: "You are all above me in age and level, so I should call you senior brothers."

"We are only a few years older than Senior Brother Zhang. Our cultivation is not as good as Senior Brother's, let alone our strength. How can we continue to shamelessly show off in front of Senior Brother."

Shen Chengxian glanced at everyone, especially Du Lingfeng and Zhong Zhijun, and saw that they had no objections. Especially Zhong Zhijun's head was hanging like a rice harvest, so he had to stand up and speak proactively.

After saying this, Shen Chengxian glanced at Du Lingfeng subconsciously again, with a little pride in his eyes. After all, this was Longxiang Taoist Temple and his territory.

However, Shen Chengxian's words still caused a stir in everyone's hearts. They clearly noticed that Shen Chengxian said that his cultivation level was not as good as Zhang Jingyuan's.

Doesn't this mean that Zhang Jingyuan must at least achieve the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, otherwise why would he be inferior in cultivation?
Isn't this a little too scary?

Based on this calculation, Zhang Jingyuan has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in only nine years since he started practicing at the Spiritual Root Test Conference, and may even be closer to the foundation establishment than Shen Chengxian.

For a moment, everyone really didn't know what words to use to describe Zhang Jingyuan and express their inner wonder.

Zhao Shiwen and Yuan Zifan's cheeks were reddened, and their eyes were full of excitement and joy, because even they didn't know that Zhang Jingyuan had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at this time and was about to build a foundation.

To be honest, in nine years, we are just one step away from the foundation building period.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't be able to believe it.

After a few words of refusal, seeing that Shen Chengxian insisted on this, and even Du Lingfeng tried to persuade him, one by one, Zhang Jingyuan had no choice but to accept it.

After all, the title is just a trivial matter, there is really nothing to worry about.

What's more, as a Dao Lord who has lived for half an era, let alone little shrimps like Shen Chengxian, as long as he is not the Human Emperor and those old immortals in the Human Emperor's Palace, no matter who he meets, he can withstand 'senior brother' Two words.

Even to put it bluntly, Shen Chengxian and the others could call him senior brother. From a certain perspective, it was already a high achievement.

After probably waiting for a while, a void in the sky suddenly distorted. When everyone looked up, they saw Qu Weiguang's figure slowly appearing.

"Lingbao Lake is the work of your senior brothers, uncles, and even our ancestors. All the treasures in it are for my human race and have made great contributions to our Longxiang Taoist Academy. I hope you can enter Lingbao Lake. , be able to observe etiquette, restraint, and move people with sincerity. You must not force these magic weapons. Of course, the premise is that you must also be able to force them."

Speaking of this, a playful smile flashed across Qu Weigang's lips.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help rolling their eyes several times. It was obvious that Qu Weiguang was deliberately making fun of them.

After all, as Qu Weiguang said, it would be nice if they were not bullied by those magic weapons, but why force them?
What a joke.
