Asking about longevity

The great elder called Chief Liao.

Head Liao stared at the shrine for a long time, and then said in confusion:

"It seems...there is indeed a missing door..."

The two of them frowned, both confused.

This shrine was handed down from the ancestors of the Five Elements. It is a spiritual dojo, and it contains the inheritance of the Five Elements Spiritual Formation.

The shrine was made by the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect and is infinitely mysterious.

Who on earth has the ability to force open the door of the shrine?

And how?

Were the three disciples of Mr. Zhuang the ones who broke the door, or was it the little devil inside?

Leader Liao also knew about the kid.

This was the secret of the Five Elements Sect back then.

In order to prevent the formation from being lost, hundreds of years ago, the old head of the Five Elements Sect specially detained a little ghost and put it in a shrine for worship, so that it could play tricks on others and confuse outsiders to prevent the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect from being exposed... …

But now, the door of the shrine has been broken down and the kid has disappeared...

Leader Liao said in surprise: "The inheritance of the Five Elements Spiritual Array..."

The great elder shook his head and sighed:

"I don't know either……"

He raised his eyes again, looked at the shrine, frowned and said:

"Over the past hundreds of years, I have always felt that there is a special meaning in this shrine... It seems that there is some special inheritance hidden in it..."

"But now, the shrine is missing a door, and this meaning has suddenly disappeared..."

"The contents inside seem to have been emptied out by someone unknown..."

Today, this shrine is an empty shell, like an empty building, empty and deserted.

Leader Liao said in surprise: "Great Elder, what other inheritance does our Five Elements Sect have?"

The great elder remained silent.

Because he doesn't know either.

Leader Liao shook his head and sneered in his heart.

To put a premium on his own face, besides the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, what other inheritance does the Five Elements Sect have?

Even the Five Elements Spiritual Formation is in name only. No one can learn it, and there is no way it can be learned...

But it was naturally difficult for him to say these words.

A flash of light flashed in Leader Liao's eyes, and he whispered:

"Great Elder, could it be Mr. Zhuang and the others who stole the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect?"

The great elder was shocked and his brows tightened.

This is what he is worried about...

The man surnamed Zhuang is unpredictable, and his few disciples are even more amazing and talented. If the master and apprentice steal the inheritance of his Five Elements Sect, there will be endless troubles.

The key is, what exactly is this inheritance?

The Five Elements Spirit Formation?

If it's the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, they can't reason with it, because this is what they should learn, and they learned it in a dignified way.

But what if it’s not just the Five Elements Spirit Array?

Not just the Five Elements Spiritual Array...

What else could it be?

What did the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect leave for themselves?

The great elder was confused.

Leader Liao had other thoughts and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" The great elder's eyes darkened, "What do you mean..."

"If there are really other inheritances in this shrine, it must be a big deal. We must find out!"

"check……"

Leader Liao raised his eyebrows, "You know."

The great elder hesitated.

Head Liao continued: "The shrine is damaged and the inheritance is lost. Mr. Zhuang's disciples are the most suspicious, so..."

Head Liao approached the great elder and lowered his voice:

"We have to find a way to keep them here first!"

"Leave……"

The great elder was thoughtful.

Leader Liao nodded and suggested:

"Start with the Five Elements Sect, then check the missing kid, and then check Mr. Zhuang and the others..."

"We must keep them until we find out!"

"If the inheritance is in their hands, we will find a way to take it back; if it is not in their hands, we will apologize and make amends, and then we will let it go..."

The great elder sneered when he heard this, "How can it be so easy to expose..."

Who do you think you are keeping?

Is that person named Zhuang easy to get along with?

What's more, the wooden old man next to him has unfathomable cultivation.

Head Liao knew what the great elder was worried about, so he said:

"We will pay homage first and then fight. We will first invite them to stay in our Five Elements Sect and stay a little longer."

"Since there is some affection between our ancestors, it is reasonable and reasonable to be a guest and exchange formations..."

"They might just stay."

"This is "courtesy" first. If they don't agree, we will "war" later..."

"Senior Zhuang and the old man may have extraordinary cultivation, but his few disciples can only refine Qi. In these days, they have also fought against my Five Elements Sect disciples. They are better than Qi Refining, even comparable to Foundation Building, but It’s only in the early stages of foundation building, and we can’t break out of the hands of our Five Elements Sect…”

"The one named Zhuang seems to be indifferent, but he is obviously more concerned about these disciples, especially the little disciple named Mo. He is very fond of him."

"As long as we restrain that young disciple, no, even if we restrain any of the disciples to blackmail Mr. Zhuang, we won't be afraid that he won't give in."

"If it still doesn't work..."

Leader Liao pointed to the sky and said solemnly: "We still have... the Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation!"

The great elder was shocked: "We want to launch a big formation?!"

Leader Liao nodded, "Once the formation is activated, there is no need to worry about being able to keep them!"

"No matter how strong their cultivation is, they dare not transcend the limitations of heaven. They will inevitably be trapped in this formation!"

The Great Elder frowned and thought deeply. He felt that what Master Liao said made sense, but he still didn't have much confidence in his heart.

He still doesn't dare to be an enemy of Mr. Zhuang.

Especially in the mountain gate of Five Elements Sect, within the mountain protection formation, facing off against Mr. Zhuang.

"Isn't it bad to break up like this?"

The great elder said worriedly.

Leader Liao took a step back and said softly:

"Great Elder, we don't have to break up with Mr. Zhuang..."

"We treated him warmly. Wouldn't it be better if he just stayed?"

"Even if we have to activate the big formation and fight each other, we don't have to kill each other to death. As long as he hands over the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect, even if he only hands over half, it is better than losing it all and falling into the hands of others... …”

"It would be nice for us to have an explanation for our ancestors..."

"Great Elder..."

Leader Liao looked at the great elder and said in a sincere tone: "Inheritance is a big deal!"

Inheritance is a big deal!

The great elder's heart trembled.

"Yes, all this is for the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect!"

Even if there is a risk, you have to take it.

The Great Elder looked at Master Liao again and nodded secretly.

Although this leader has a lower level and a smaller structure, he still has some sense of proportion and can come up with some means when encountering problems.

"Okay!" The great elder nodded, "Go and make preparations now. Be sure to keep them in our Five Elements Sect!"

Head Liao looked happy and said yes.

After the two discussed, the great elder was still in front of the shrine, facing the shrine, thinking deeply and worrying at the same time.

Leader Liao left the Tibetan Formation Pavilion alone.

Night has come, and outside the Tibetan Formation Pavilion, there is a splendid array of carved beams and painted buildings.

Head Liao walked out of the Hidden Formation Pavilion, looked back, and couldn't help but sneered.

"Is inheritance a big deal?"

"Inheritance is a piece of shit!"

"Now that things have happened, what inheritance does the Five Elements Sect still have?"

Formation science declined and formation masters were lost.

The current Five Elements Sect, built with civil engineering and construction, has only its appearance, just like the shrine, it is just an empty shell with gold and jade outside.

There are no people, no formations, just empty shells, what’s the use?

Revitalizing the sect is just a joke.

Leader Liao smiled contemptuously, and then twirled his jade ring finger.

But it’s not a loss…

Over the years, I have benefited a lot from it, squeezed out the value of these dead trees and beams, and made a lot of money. Now, I can run away...

The mess is someone else’s.

The spiritual stone belongs to you!

As for the Five Elements Sect...

Leader Liao snorted coldly.

Although he is a member of the Five Elements Sect, it is just an identity. Changing the sect is no big deal.

But before I leave, this Five Elements Sect has one last use...

Headmaster Liao had a panoramic view of the entire Five Elements Sect's mountain gate, and there was a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth.

…

Two days later, Master Liao visited Mr. Zhuang.

He still looked calm and without any scheming, and said sincerely:

"Junior has admired Senior Zhuang for a long time. I have made many accusations before and made things difficult for him. Please forgive me..."

Mr. Zhuang was noncommittal.

Head Liao said again:

"... Now that the inheritance is about to happen, and it coincides with the meeting, I would like to ask my seniors to stay as a guest in the Five Elements Sect for a while longer, so that I can enjoy my friendship as a landlord."

Leader Liao said it sincerely, but he was very nervous in his heart.

He couldn't be sure of Mr. Zhuang's intentions and couldn't guess Mr. Zhuang's thoughts. He was looking at Mr. Zhuang's penetrating eyes and felt like a gleam on his back, making him sweat coldly.

Leader Liao was anxiously waiting for Mr. Zhuang's reply.

Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Okay."

This "ok" made Master Liao feel relieved.

He felt that his whole body felt a little lighter, and he couldn't help but smile:

"Senior is willing to show appreciation, and junior is grateful."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, and without saying anything else, he took a cup of tea.

Head Liao was very sensible, so he bowed his hands and said:

"Then I won't disturb my seniors for their cultivation. I'll take my leave."

After Master Liao left, Mr. Zhuang called Mo Hua over, thought for a moment, and then ordered:

"You have been cultivating diligently these days to build a foundation in the Five Elements Sect."

Mo Hua was startled, "Is it right here?"

The Five Elements Sect is not a good place.

From top to bottom, he is jealous and hateful of himself. Not to mention hostile, at least he has a bad attitude.

Mr. Zhuang said firmly: "No problem, just build the foundation here!"

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Isn't it a little faster..."

After his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi refining, it only took a few months. The Qi sea is not yet stable, the foundation is not strong, and the cultivation is not solid yet...

It feels like it’s still too early to build the foundation now.

Mr. Zhuang said gently: "Your spiritual roots... are not very good. No matter how much you cultivate your spiritual power, it will only be like that. So there are not so many requirements. You don't have to polish your realm. You don't need to have a strong foundation. If you can break through, break through. As long as you can build a foundation." That’s fine…”

Although the tone was gentle, these words were still a bit heartbreaking.

"All right……"

Mo Hua nodded, and then said: "Master, what about my spiritual consciousness? Is it enough?"

"Will your spiritual consciousness be enhanced if you draw the Five Elements Spirit Formation?" Mr. Zhuang asked.

"Yes, but not much..." Mo Hua said truthfully.

"Can you break through the fourteenth pattern?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head, "It feels difficult..."

These days, whenever he has free time, he will draw the Five Elements Spirit Formation.

He drew the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the spiritual array one by one over and over again.

I painted during the day and also painted on Taoist monuments at night.

His consciousness is indeed slowly growing, and the rate of growth is quite impressive. It is much stronger than before.

Although the requirements of the Five Elements Spiritual Array are thirteen lines, because it requires "divine consciousness to transform into Tao", a part of the divine consciousness must be separated, integrated into the formation, and unified with the spiritual power.

Therefore, the actual consumption of spiritual consciousness is more than the thirteen lines.

The Lingshu Formation only has twelve lines.

The spiritual consciousness enhanced by the painting spirit pivot formation, if it were a creek.

Then the spiritual consciousness enhanced by drawing the Five Elements Spiritual Array is a small river.

It's just that whether it's a creek or a river, there is still a drop in the bucket before the threshold from the thirteenth to the fourteenth lines.

It's like diverting water into a ravine. The water is not small, but the ravine is unfathomable and cannot be filled enough...

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it then, just use the spiritual consciousness at the peak of the Thirteen Marks to build the foundation..."

"Don't you need to go to the fourteenth pattern?" Mo Hua said weakly.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head and sighed:

"Don't force it. Although the fourteenth pattern is good, it is indeed too difficult..."

Moreover, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and there is not much time left...

Mr. Zhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, and then he ordered:

"You can use the peak of the Thirteen Patterns to build your foundation. Although it's not too extreme, it's already pretty good..."

Mr. Zhuang wanted to say "very strong", but he hesitated and still didn't want to make Mo Hua proud.

But to be honest, Qi Refining has the peak consciousness of thirteen lines. Even in his knowledge, it is extremely rare and even considered the limit...

Going up further is really difficult.

Mr. Zhuang said solemnly: "If you build the foundation with the peak of the thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness, it stands to reason that you will break through the obstacles, double the spiritual consciousness, and reach the middle stage of foundation building, between the fourteenth and sixteenth lines."

"As for the specific amount, it depends on fate..."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Master, the spiritual consciousness has doubled, why is it not twenty-six lines?"

Mr. Zhuang was startled and couldn't help but nodded Mo Hua's forehead:

"What are you thinking about? The growth of spiritual consciousness is not a simple addition or subtraction."

"The number of patterns is just a scale."

"Between the two scales, the amount of spiritual consciousness is probably very different."

"The difference between the nine lines of Qi refining and the ten lines of foundation building is fully doubled."

"Twenty-six lines, that is already a golden elixir..."

"How can there be such a good thing..."

Mo Hua smiled and then asked curiously:

"Master, is there a double difference between the spiritual consciousness in the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building?"

Mr. Zhuang said: "This is not necessarily true. There is a big difference in spiritual consciousness between the early stage of foundation building and the middle stage of foundation building, but it will not be twice as much."

Mo Hua's mind was sharp and he discovered another problem:

"Then why did I break through the foundation building and double my spiritual consciousness, but I can only reach the middle stage of the foundation building?"

Mr. Zhuang took a sip of tea and continued to explain the ink painting:

"Because the farther the spiritual consciousness goes to the back, the slower it grows and the harder it is to grow."

"Moreover, your situation is quite special. Your spiritual consciousness is already very strong now, so if you break through the realm, your spiritual consciousness will increase greatly, but it may not double."

"Heavenly checks and balances always have limits, and there are always many restrictions..."

If there are no restrictions, your child's consciousness will really be "lawless"...

Mr. Zhuang glanced at the ink painting and sighed silently.

Mo Hua nodded in understanding.

"Okay, let's concentrate on practicing..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting again and said with a gentle smile:

"It is estimated that within a month, the cultivation level will be almost there. Try to break through the realm and see what the bottleneck of Tianyan Jue is, and then find a way to break through the bottleneck and build the foundation of Dao!"

"Um!"

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes bright.

Although he was a little regretful that he could not reach the fourteenth pattern, he was still very happy that he was about to establish the foundation.

If there are no fourteen lines, forget it...

Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.

Cultivating Taoism is about letting things take their own course and not forcing things.

You can't let a snake swallow an elephant if the human heart is not enough.

In the next month, Mo Hua concentrated on practicing and constantly absorbing spiritual stones.

Even if he learned formations, he only learned them at Zishi's Taoist Monument. During the day, he basically spent his time meditating and refining spirit stones.

In daily practice, we should pay attention to neither slowness nor slowness, and let the drop of water penetrate the stone.

Persist every day and practice with it.

But now that we are about to build the foundation, we need to spend more time and more spiritual stones. We must use both time and spiritual stones on the "blade".

Mo Hua cultivated without any distractions and prepared to build the foundation.

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng knew that Mo Hua was going to build a foundation, but they didn't bother him. At the same time, they silently protected their junior brother to prevent him from going wrong in his cultivation or being disturbed by others.

The practice of ink painting was also relatively smooth.

The spiritual stones are consumed one by one, and the spiritual power is also increasing little by little.

Finally, a month later.

Mo Hua's cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.

At the same time, he also hit the bottleneck of foundation building...
