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

Chapter 3: Ten Times Talented, Confused Song Daren

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about? Don't be distracted."

While Zhang Xiaofan was thinking, Song Daren saw that he was distracted and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhang Xiaofan came back to his senses, smiled, and said half-truthfully:

"Big Brother, I was just thinking about reaching the Taiqing realm, or even the land immortal realm that no one has ever reached."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Song Daren suddenly laughed when he heard this, and shook his head.

"Junior brother, your aptitude has been told to me by Master. It is average, a little worse than mine. If you can reach the fifth or sixth level of Taiji Xuanqing Dao in this lifetime, you will be very lucky."

“Not to mention the Taiqing realm that Patriarch Qingye reached a thousand years ago. As for the illusory realm of immortals on land, don’t even think about it.

After all, even the genius Qingye Zhenren has never reached the realm of immortals on earth."

"Also, you have to know that the first level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao is the foundation. Most people can master it in about a year. The second level takes about five years, and the third level takes decades. Many practitioners cannot even break through the third level in their entire lives. As for the fourth and fifth levels that follow, it is even more difficult to break through."

"Really..." Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said nothing.

After all, the fact that he has ten times the talent is his greatest reliance in life, and he can't just tell others about it.

Moreover, even if he told others, no one would believe him and would just think he was a psychopath.

Moreover, he practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, and the first level was very slow, which laid a solid foundation. After that, Buddhism and Taoism complemented each other, and the speed of practice would be faster and faster.

"Papa...papa..."

Song Daren patted Zhang Xiaofan on the shoulder and said:

"Xiao Fan, I will now teach you how to sit in meditation, contemplate, and learn about the meridians and vital energy of the human body, as well as the operation of mana... You must listen carefully."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaofan nodded and listened carefully.

An hour later, Song Daren clapped his hands and said:

"Junior brother, that's all I'm going to teach you today. Now try practicing Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao. If you don't understand something, I can teach you now."

"Okay." After Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, he found a piece of stone, sat on it with his legs crossed, closed his eyes, and began to practice Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao according to the method taught by Song Daren.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's focused and serious look, Song Daren nodded and said to himself: Although my junior brother's aptitude is a little lacking, he is still very serious in his cultivation.

Perhaps, if I spend a few hundred years in this life, I might be able to cultivate to the sixth level of Yuqing.

"what?"

Suddenly, Song Daren widened his eyes and stared at Zhang Xiaofan as if he had seen a ghost.

He saw that around Zhang Xiaofan, there was some green light surrounding his body and then penetrated into his body.

Seeing this scene, Song Daren was surprised:

"Spiritual...spiritual energy enters the body!"

"How is this possible? How can I have spiritual energy enter my body in my first training? You know, it took me about ten days to succeed when I drew the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into my body. Even so, among the Dazhu Peak lineage, except for my junior sister Tian Ling'er, I am the fastest." "But, my junior brother is obviously of ordinary aptitude, how could he be so fast? I must be dazzled."

Song Daren muttered to himself for a few words, then turned his gaze to Tian Ling'er beside him and found that she was also staring at Zhang Xiaofan in surprise.

Those bright and beautiful eyes were full of wonder.

When he saw this scene, Song Daren knew that he was not mistaken.

My junior fellow apprentice actually had spiritual energy enter his body during his first practice.

Thinking of this, Song Daren asked:

"Junior sister, when you first started practicing Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, how many days did it take you to achieve spiritual energy entering your body?"

"Five days!" Tian Ling'er raised five green fingers and continued:
"I remember that Senior Sister Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak also spent two days to draw Qi into her body. Even so, Senior Sister Shuiyue praised her for her extraordinary talent and high aptitude, and treated her like a treasure."

"In fact, he even prefers Senior Sister Xueqi over Senior Sister Wenmin, the eldest sister of Xiaozhu Peak."

"Wenmin..." When Song Daren heard this name, a woman with particularly developed pectoral muscles and beautiful appearance appeared in his mind, and a slight blush appeared on his honest face.

Tian Ling'er saw this scene and shook her head:
"Big Brother, you look like you're missing someone. Next time I go to Xiaozhu Peak, I'll tell Sister Wenmin that you're missing her so much that your face is red."

"Haha...haha..." Song Daren heard this, put his hands on his head, smiled honestly, and then said:
"Junior sister, when Master checks Junior Brother's cultivation in three months, if he knows that Junior Brother's talent is not ordinary as it seems, but is an extraordinary one, I wonder if he will be grinning from ear to ear."

Tian Ling'er thought about her father's character, thought for a moment and said:
"He will appear serious on the surface, but actually be overjoyed in his heart. He will turn around and tell my mother in private that I, Tian Buyi, have good vision, far better than that pedantic Cangsong."

"Huh!" At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan slowly stopped his practice and exhaled a breath of foul air from his mouth.

Seeing this, Song Daren hurried to Zhang Xiaofan and asked:

"Junior brother, you are such a genius. Master has really found a treasure this time. Tell me, how many great cycles of circulation did you go through after the spiritual energy entered your body just now?"

"Five!" said Zhang Xiaofan.

"Hiss!" Song Daren took a breath and said with his eyes wide open:
"Doesn't that mean that, Junior Brother, you can complete thirty-six Great Circulations in six days at most and enter the first level of Yuqing realm?"

"No." Zhang Xiaofan thought that he still had to practice the Great Brahma Prajna of Tianyin Temple at night. However, the first level of dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism required a solid foundation, which would be extremely slow, and the next two levels would be faster and faster, so he shook his head and said:
"It should take about a month. It's really too slow."

When Song Daren heard this, he pretended to glare at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"Junior brother, what are you talking about? Back then, it took me half a year to complete the thirty-six Great Circulations and enter the first level of Yuqing. And for that, Master praised me... Not bad. Even Lu Xueqi took more than ten days to enter the first level."

"You've entered the first level of Yuqing in just one month, and you think it's too slow. If you weren't my junior brother, I would definitely kick you in the ass."

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaofan did not answer, but just laughed, then picked up the hatchet next to him for chopping bamboo, glanced around the bamboo forest, and then walked towards a bamboo as thick as a bowl.

When Song Daren saw this scene, he quickly said:

“Junior brother, the black bamboo is as hard as gold and stone. You have just started practicing, and you are not proficient in the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao. If you directly choose such a thick bamboo, it will not only take you three days to cut it, but it will also hurt your knuckles.

Even, I broke my bones.”

Zhang Xiaofan did not say anything, but practiced Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao. A trace of cool air flowed through his body. He felt his arms filled with strength, and then he chopped down the black bamboo with a knife.

"Crack!"
