"Uncle-Master Xuanyangzi, what are you doing? Can't we even rest for a little while? We've been standing in the stance all day."
A gaunt young Taoist priest shouted in frustration. He was Fang Dongtian, the future leader of the Quanzhen Sect and a friend of Lu Jin, but he had died before Lu Jin.
"Yes, Uncle-Master, this is not in accordance with martial ethics."
A slightly tall young man also started complaining; it was Liu Dongyang.
"You two don't know anything! Cultivation requires hard work. We can't be like those guys from Zhengyi who get married and have children. They're shameless!"
Xuan Yangzi curled his lip.
Both the Northern and Southern branches of the Quanzhen School do not emphasize talismans and magic, but instead focus on self-cultivation, self-sacrifice for the benefit of others, and adhere to the doctrine of "non-action as the main principle," which emphasizes personal cultivation of life and nature. They are also the culmination of Taoist internal alchemy. This is also very clearly reflected in the comic.
The Quanzhen School requires its practitioners to be ordained, living in Taoist temples to cultivate themselves, abstaining from marriage, meat, and alcohol. They wear blue Taoist robes, have jade hairpins in their hair, and live solitary lives in seclusion, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, accompanied by incense, lamps, and wooden fish drums. Therefore, the Quanzhen disciples appearing in the comics are all ordained, while Lu Linglong's status as a lay disciple is that of a layperson who has apprenticed to the Quanzhen School, not a formally ordained Taoist priest.
Moreover, he heard that Zhang Jingqing, that old bastard, was going to hold the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and he became even more displeased after hearing that.
That old bastard is really arrogant.
He was superior to them when they were young, and he refused to believe that the younger generation of the Longmen Sect couldn't beat those lazy kids from Longhu Mountain.
Among the Zhengyi sects, only the Shangqing Maoshan sect is truly devoted to rigorous cultivation; the others are all cunning and deceitful.
"What you're saying is quite something. The Celestial Master's Mansion's thunder magic is very powerful, and our Quanzhen Sect doesn't have any similar methods."
Fang Dongtian muttered something.
The methods of Quanzhen are too simple and unsophisticated; apart from the ability to manifest Yang spirits, there is nothing else worth mentioning.
"Yes, Uncle-Master, I think the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion are quite good."
Liu Dongyang echoed this sentiment.
"Bullshit! The golden light produced by the Golden Light Mantra is just a byproduct. Our Quanzhen Danfa only refines life force, which is the most perfect method! And what's so good about that Thunder Technique? Isn't it just making thunder?"
Xuan Yangzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Your martial uncle is so petty. He was beaten so badly by Daoist Zhang Jingqing when he was young that he ran away with his tail between his legs, and now he's holding a grudge."
Fang Dongtian said in a low voice.
"really."
Liu Dongyang agreed wholeheartedly.
Their senior uncle is so focused on weapon crafting, no wonder he can't compare to others in terms of life cultivation.
Moreover, he heard that Master Zhang Jingqing hadn't even used any thunder magic at the time, so their senior uncle was quite embarrassed.
"You two brats, I'll beat your butts to a pulp today!"
Xuan Yangzi was furious. These two brats were actually cricketing right in front of him, completely disregarding him as their senior uncle.
boom!
Xuan Yangzi moved suddenly, his physical speed as fast as a whirlwind. If Chen Yuan saw this amazing physical strength, he would probably be surprised as well.
This is the most powerful aspect of the Quanzhen Danfa (Complete Perfection Alchemy). Although it cannot compare to other schools in terms of fancy techniques, it is more terrifying and brutal because of its purity.
They simply temper their lives, yet they are able to gain physical strength far exceeding that of other sects, comparable to those sects that cultivate external martial arts techniques.
Moreover, this is only a manifestation of life cultivation; in sexual cultivation, there is an even more advanced method called "spitting out the Yang spirit."
"Oh no, my martial uncle is here!"
Fang Dongtian and Liu Dongyang, who were practicing standing meditation, were startled. Their martial uncle was truly ruthless and never showed any mercy.
This is troublesome.
I shouldn't have called him crickets in front of him.
Chapter 368 Astounding Control! (First Update)
Longhu Mountain.
"They're usually all big and stern, but how come they're so agile when they're scaling walls and climbing gate towers?"
Zhang Jingqing snorted coldly and looked at the crowd watching the show from the top of the wall.
At this moment, in the martial arts arena of Longhu Mountain, Lin Huaiyi is fighting against Zhang Huaijin.
"Hehe, junior brother, do you really want to spar with me?"
Zhang Huaijin touched his chubby double chin and looked Lin Huaiyi up and down.
The master doesn't know what's wrong either.
It's really strange to suddenly pair him up with Huaiyi.
"That's strange. Huaiyi isn't very strong, so how could he possibly be a match for Senior Brother Huaijin, who has learned the Thunder Technique?"
Tian Jinzhong was also completely baffled.
"Hey, I'm just seeing how fast you guys are progressing, so I'm secretly putting in some extra effort. Today I'd like to ask you guys for some pointers!"
Lin Huaiyi chuckled.
These days, he has mastered the basics of thunder magic under the guidance of his master Zhang Jingqing, and today is a good day to test it out.
Moreover, his master had said that there was no need to keep hiding it anymore; he needed to let his fellow disciples know that he was no longer the same person he used to be, and that he needed to be honest with himself.
Because of Chen Yuan's appearance, the original script of Lin Huaiyi challenging Zhang Zhiwei two years later has changed. Now, it is Zhang Huaijin, the chubby senior brother, who will be giving Lin Huaiyi pointers.
"Huaiyi, it's not that I look down on you, but are you sure you can handle this? Do you want me to give you a few pointers?"
Zhang Huaijin said shamelessly.
He obviously didn't know that among his fellow disciples, besides Zhang Zhiwei, Lin Huaiyi was the one with the deepest mastery of the Golden Light Mantra.
However, the reason he was able to receive the Thunder Technique inheritance first was because Lin Huaiyi had harbored treacherous intentions and had not fully revealed himself, which is why Zhang Jingqing did not pass it on beforehand.
However, Lin Huaiyi already had a very deep foundation in the Golden Light Mantra, so he learned thunder magic very quickly. In about a month, he had basically mastered the use of the palm thunder technique.
"Junior brother, come on then. Senior brother will play with you today."
Zhang Huaijin chuckled.
boom!
However, in the next moment, an extremely intense golden light suddenly erupted from Lin Huaiyi's body, shooting straight into the sky like a plume of smoke. Tian Jinzhong and the others, who were watching the show, were immediately dumbfounded.
This kid was hiding something so well!
"Huh!?"
Zhang Huaijin was also taken aback.
The next moment, Lin Huaiyi's body shot out like a golden bolt of lightning, slapping Zhang Huaijin's chubby belly with his palm.
"That kid!"
Zhang Huaijin broke out in a cold sweat.
That's a bit fast!
Moreover, this kid's Golden Light Mantra cultivation seems to be above his.
He's only second to Huaiyi.
No way?
Has this kid been hiding his true abilities all along?
"This kid is indeed well hidden. Our Celestial Master's Mansion disciples are not fools. If you want to fool them, you can't just talk the talk. You have to pay attention to your every word, every breath, and every step."
Disguising all aspects of one's physical condition to the extent one wants to present to outsiders is a recipe for disaster. If one doesn't hide enough, one will be exposed; if one hides too much, it will appear too fake.
"You've developed amazing self-control by hiding!"
Zhang Jingqing sat on the stone steps and nodded slightly.
This kid's mentality was a bit off before, but in terms of his cultivation of the Golden Light Mantra, he was second only to Zhang Zhiwei.
boom!
At this moment, golden light suddenly surged from Zhang Huaijin's body, and he hurriedly blocked Lin Huaiyi's palm strike. However, under that astonishing life cultivation, he could not help but take three steps back.
The arm that was blocking Huaiyi's hand was also throbbing slightly.
He then realized that he had underestimated Huaiyi.
"Senior brother, I won't stand on ceremony."
Zi la la!
Before Zhang Huaijin could react, streaks of white electricity were released from Lin Huaiyi's palm.
"The Five Thunder Orthodox Method? No way? It's already been passed down? Could it be that Master...?"
Zhang Huaijin was shocked once again.
The Five Thunder Orthodox Method can basically only be practiced by high-ranking disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion. It seems that Huaiyi has been recognized by his master as qualified to inherit the Celestial Master's position in the Celestial Master's Mansion.
In the future, it is estimated that Zhang Zhiwei, himself, and Huaiyi will be the three who will have the opportunity to inherit the position of Celestial Master.
Moreover, Huaiyi will henceforth be called Zhang Huaiyi!
……
Two days later, in a breakfast shop in Beijing.
"Is this the douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) that ordinary people in Beijing love to drink?"
Hao Wencai, who had just eaten mutton yesterday, picked up a bowl of douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) and began to look at it.
This stuff is similar to soy milk, except it smells a bit sour.
"Boss, is your douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) authentic?"
Xu Xia also inquired.
This was his first time visiting Beijing, and he had heard that the local douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) was quite popular, so he wanted to try it.
"Don't worry, this douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) is authentic."
The breakfast stall owner spoke loudly in authentic Beijing dialect.
