Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

Chapter 26 Daoxuan: How do you know that I suddenly reached the realm of Taiqing?

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan in front of him. Now that he had broken through to the Shangqing realm, the higher his cultivation level, the more unfathomable he felt that Taoist Master Daoxuan was.

The Taiqing realm is indeed terrifying.

However, his original body's dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism plus five volumes of heavenly books could help him break through to the Taiqing realm. Now he has ten times the talent. If he can get five more volumes of heavenly books, the Taiqing realm can be easily broken.

The future is expected!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan bowed to Taoist Master Daoxuan and said:
"Disciple Zhang Xiaofan greets the master."

"Hmm!" Taoist Master Daoxuan hummed and looked at Zhang Xiaofan with his calm eyes.

After a few breaths, he said:
"You have been studying with that guy for two years. How much of his skills have you learned?"

"Fifty percent!" Zhang Xiaofan didn't say all, because he knew the principle of hiding one's shortcomings.

"Hmm?" Unexpectedly, Taoist Xuan just hummed and said:
"You think that Lin Jingyu has learned 50% in two years is not bad, but your talent is better than Lin Jingyu, how can it be only 50%?"

"It seems that even at such a young age, you already know how to hide your abilities and keep a trump card."

"Okay, 80%." Zhang Xiaofan knew he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he changed his words.

Taoist Master Daoxuan nodded, showing a satisfied look, stroked his long beard, and said:

"I never thought you could learn eight of his skills in just two years. Your talent is extraordinary, even better than that person."

At this point, Taoist Master Daoxuan suddenly thought of something, stared at Zhang Xiaofan, and said:
"Don't hide your shortcomings in front of me. You can't hide them from me."

"Wan Jianyi has a sharp personality, and Tian Buyi cares about his reputation. I don't know who you learned this skill of keeping a trump card and hiding your weaknesses from?"

"Cough cough!" Zhang Xiaofan coughed twice and looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan, the meaning was self-evident.

Daoxuan felt Zhang Xiaofan's gaze and asked:
"I don't have any hidden cards, and I don't like to hide my weaknesses. Why do I need you to learn from me?"

"Trump card?" Zhang Xiaofan looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan and said slowly:
"A thousand years ago, a genius emerged from my Qingyun Sect, who broke through to the Great Purity Realm. Since then, Qingyun Sect has been on the path of righteousness and has been the leader for a thousand years."

"And in these thousand years, no one has been able to break through the Taiqing realm, but..."

Having said that, Zhang Xiaofan stared at Daoxuan's Dantian area and said:
"However, the master is a rare genius, and has already broken through to... the Great Purity Realm!"

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Taoist Master Daoxuan disappeared from the high throne and instantly came to Zhang Xiaofan. His face changed drastically and he said:

"I hid it from everyone, but I couldn't hide it from you."

"Hehe..." Zhang Xiaofan chuckled and said:
"Master, I said that I learned the skill of hiding my clumsiness from you. Is that true?"

"Yes!" Taoist Xuan nodded, stared at Zhang Xiaofan's head meaningfully, and said:

"I really want to knock your head open and see what's inside. It's not just that I guessed that the mysterious man is Wan Jianyi."

“Now, even I have guessed it after breaking through to the Great Purity Realm.”

Speaking of this, Taoist Master Daoxuan praised:

"You are so smart."

Zhang Xiaofan heard this and shook his head:

"It's not that I'm too smart, but the head master is a genius, rare in history, so it's normal for him to break through the Taiqing realm."

“Hahaha…hahaha…” Taoist Master Daoxuan, who was always calm, laughed for the first time and said:

"You are good at talking, but my talent is indeed rare throughout the ages, comparable to that of Master Qingye."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan who was laughing heartily, and thought to himself that no matter how high one's cultivation was, they also liked to hear compliments. Just like the ancient emperors, who held great power, they also liked to hear nice things.

Taoist Master Daoxuan laughed a few times before regaining his composure. He returned to the throne of the head of the high platform and asked:
"Two years ago, you had already reached the eighth level of Jade Purity with your Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao. Now, have you broken through to the ninth level of Jade Purity?"

Taoist Master Daoxuan did not mention the Shangqing realm, because apart from Patriarch Qingye, the fastest person in Qingyun over the past thousands of years to break through from the ninth level of Yuqing to the Shangqing realm also took him twenty years.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's ability to break through to the ninth level of Yuqing was already a rare talent. As for the Shangqing realm, it was simply impossible.

Even his favorite disciple Xiao Yicai, the candidate for the next leader, was at the eighth level of Yuqing sixty years ago, and has only reached the ninth level of Yuqing now. As for breaking through to the Upper Purity Realm, it will probably take some time.

At least, it is impossible to break through to the Shangqing realm within ten years.

Zhang Xiaofan heard this and replied:

"Two years have passed, and my disciple has indeed broken through to the ninth level of Yuqing, and his foundation is solid."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Daoxuan showed a satisfied look and said:

"Your talent is even higher than that of my beloved disciple Xiao Yicai."

"My beloved disciple has gone on a mission and cannot participate in the Seven Veins Martial Competition. Now that you have reached the ninth level of Yuqing, you will definitely be the disciple of the Seven Veins Martial Competition."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said:
"Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak has a very high talent, which is rare in the history. She is comparable to the Qingye Patriarch. In this Seven Clans Martial Competition, she will be my formidable opponent."

Although Zhang Xiaofan has reached the Shangqing realm, he does not want to expose his cultivation level, so in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition, he only knows how to use the ninth level of Yuqing.

Daoxuan glanced at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"You are so modest. I want to see what Lu Xueqi's ability is that you, who has learned the skills of Wan Jian Yi Ba, regard her as a strong opponent."

"That's right." Daoxuan suddenly said:
"In order for you to go to the ancestral temple with a legitimate reason, I spread the news two years ago that you had gone into a state of demonic possession, and that your possession was so serious that your cultivation might be in jeopardy."

"Being possessed by the devil?" Zhang Xiaofan murmured,
"Wouldn't my reputation be ruined in an instant?"

"Now, don't you all think that my cultivation has dropped drastically, or even that I have lost all my cultivation in order to save my life?"

Daoxuan glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"Where did you get your fame? You are so shameless."

Zhang Xiaofan suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Two years ago, I severely injured Qi Hao with one palm strike, and as a result, I became possessed. Wouldn't he be extremely happy?"

Daoxuan said: "I can't comment on whether Gao is happy or not, but he has already announced that he will fight you in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan stretched out his hand and slowly clenched his fist, saying:

"Then I'll beat the shit out of him, beat him into the shit, and then beat him with his shit."

Daoxuan glared at Zhang Xiaofan and spat:

"Get lost! Who did you learn this from? It is really insulting to the Taoist masters."

"I created it myself." Zhang Xiaofan said, and then he bowed and said:

"The Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition will be held in a few days, and I haven't been back to Dazhu Peak for two years. Master, I will take my leave now."

"Go." Daoxuan waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan left the Yuqing Palace.

When he reached the Rainbow Bridge, he still used his magic power to cover the aura of the fire stick, without leaking even a trace.

After leaving the Tongtian Peak formation, the fire stick flew to his feet and flew towards the Dazhu Peak.
