For Quanxing, Wugensheng's actions were tantamount to betraying the entire Quanxing.
"It's nothing really. If I invite you in the future, I wonder if you'll be able to accept the invitation."
Wugensheng said with a smile.
"Oh?"
Dou Ruchang looked at Wugensheng noncommittally.
Although this guy is the acting leader of Quanxing, to be honest, he doesn't have much prejudice against Wugensheng. On the contrary, he thinks this person is very special.
If you don't reply, I'll take that as a yes.
Wugensheng smiled.
The secret of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley cannot be solved by him and Chen Yuan alone.
He needs other help.
"Suit yourself. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Dou Ruchang said calmly.
He didn't want to be kicked out of his sect for associating with this bastard.
Of course, this is what he thinks now.
Northeast China, Wu-Liu School.
"Oh? Interesting. That young friend named Chen Yuan seems to have exceptional talent."
An old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face chuckled and looked at Gao Xueying and Gao Dayou.
"Master, do you still have the mind to laugh? Compared to that brat, isn't the demon sword more important right now?"
He looked sullen.
My master is really carefree.
"Don't worry, the reason why everyone hasn't made a move is because they are still observing, and this is also a good opportunity for the younger generation to gain experience."
The old Taoist priest, with his white hair and youthful face, laughed.
"Master, do you mean we should do it ourselves?"
Gao Xueying frowned.
That Japanese guy named Eita Nikaido is not easy to deal with.
They could even be described as extremely difficult to deal with.
Many extraordinary individuals have already died at this man's hands.
Moreover, this person was extremely ruthless, almost always beheading.
"Xueying, are you scared? Are the children of your Gao family so insecure? And you are a top disciple of our Wuliu School."
The old Taoist priest chuckled.
"Master, how can I not be afraid? Didn't you say that those who cultivate the Tao value life and cherish their lives?"
He's tall and has a tendency to roll his eyes.
This old man has a high level of cultivation, so he's naturally not afraid. But they're different.
"While cultivators should value immortality and life, they must also tirelessly help others. You've wasted your time reading those scriptures on helping others. Besides, you're not just disciples of the Dao, but my own personal disciples. You've mastered most of the Wu-Liu School's methods, so what are you afraid of!"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said.
Disciples who study the Way, also known as disciples who have taken refuge, or simply students, refer to students who have not formally become disciples. They can learn from a master as long as they pay a certain tuition fee. Of course, there are also some special cases where the master does not charge fees.
A disciple learning the Way cannot refer to the person who teaches him as his master; he can only be called a teacher. The master has only the obligation to "teach" the disciple learning the Way, and has no other obligations or responsibilities.
In the comics, the lower courtyard of the Trinity Sect is where these disciples are placed. Since the disciples are not formal members and do not have a master-disciple relationship, there are no sect rules binding the disciples on their comings and goings, let alone holding them accountable for any wrongdoings.
Therefore, in the comics, when Li Muxuan wanted to switch allegiance to Wang Yaozu, he could say, "Who are you, Zuo Ruotong, to me? What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Because they weren't formal master and disciple, Zuo Ruotong couldn't use the rules of the Sanyi Sect to restrain Li Muxuan, and could only ask Li Muxuan's father to intervene.
Even when Li Muxuan later joined Quanxing and committed all sorts of evil deeds, no one in the martial arts world would blame Sanyi Sect for failing to discipline him properly, because he had only stayed in your lower academy for a period of time, and you were not his master, so what responsibility did you bear?
A direct disciple is a completely different story.
A disciple who is formally accepted as a disciple is carefully selected.
The disciples of the Sanyi Sect are all personally taught, mainly because the Reverse Life Triple Rebirth is prone to mishaps, so they are usually personally taught by Zuo Ruotong.
But things are different now. With Chen Yuan's improved Reverse Life Triple Technique, Zuo Ruotong doesn't need to devote so much energy to teaching his disciples.
Instead, one can focus their mind on self-cultivation.
"Master, you're right, but I'm still a little worried."
"I can only say this with a sigh," Gao Da said helplessly.
Although the alchemy of the Wu-Liu school is powerful, it lacks variety. Just think, the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain has talismans in addition to the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic.
Their Quanzhen lineage is all about hard-hitting, flesh-and-blood combat, without much fancy moves.
To some extent, one can cultivate in peace, but there is also a problem: if one encounters some unusual methods, one may very well hit a wall.
"You're no good, kid. You're not as steady as Xueying."
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes.
Chapter 553 It's time to go out for a walk! (Two chapters combined)
"Alright, Master."
"I can only say this with a sigh," Gao Da said helplessly.
He was helpless in the face of his own master.
"Master, let's go and see this so-called demon sword."
A glint of light flashed in Gao Xueying's eyes.
She also wanted to see what was going on with the demon sword Hirumaru.
"Yes, just in case, bring that magical artifact with you."
The old Taoist priest chuckled.
He could not possibly disregard the safety of his disciples.
It wouldn't hurt to secretly follow them then.
At this moment, in Shanghai.
Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, feeling the flow of true qi within his body. Since the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, his understanding of cultivation had deepened.
He has a deeper understanding of the Eight Directions Reversal Technique, the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, and the Triple Rebirth Technique.
These three elements can obviously be integrated into a single system.
"Speaking of which, I discussed with that reckless guy Zhang Zhiwei during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony before. Taoism has three adjustments."
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The so-called three adjustments are "adjusting the form, adjusting the breath, and adjusting the spirit".
The primordial nature (元性) is the life essence of the universe, a "spiritual condensation and spirituality." The first "spirit" refers to the soul, signifying subtlety and wonder; the second "spirit" refers to spirituality and wisdom, embodying the vitality, intelligence, and functionality of the primordial energy. In the human body, the primordial nature differentiates into the primordial spirit (元神) and the primordial essence (元精). The primordial spirit governs the nature, while the primordial essence governs life; the primordial spirit resides in the heart, and the primordial essence resides in the kidneys.
Health is related to destiny. The "vital energy" in life and the "luck" in destiny are the same thing. Cultivating oneself can change one's luck. Changing one's luck lies in changing the flow of energy in the body and mind, and one's destiny changes accordingly.
Taoism focuses on three levels and three key points for health preservation: "form, qi, and spirit." Form refers to the physical body, including the internal organs, limbs, and bones, which is the carrier of life. Qi is an intangible energy system; without qi, the body cannot function. For example, in a person with hemiplegia, the qi circulation in the paralyzed area is obstructed. Spirit refers to the spiritual essence of life; without spirit, the body will die, or as the idiom says, the person becomes a "walking corpse."
Taoism believes that life includes the physical body (the "hardware") and the spirit (the "software"), and that "qi" is the energy system that propels the body and sustains the spirit. To use an analogy, life is like a running car; the body is the car itself, "qi" is like the gasoline, and "shen" (spirit) is like the driver.
"If these three elements are combined properly, the car can start normally, that's roughly the idea."
Chen Yuan's mind raced.
"Chen boy, Chen boy!"
Just then, Lu Sheng's voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Lu, what brings you here?"
Chen Yuan was a little puzzled. What did this guy want?
He has already resolved Chen Yuelou's matter.
"Hehe, it's nothing serious. Mr. Sun said he'd like to ask you to go to the Northeast and deliver a letter to Zhang Huzi."
Lu Sheng coughed.
Previously, Zhang Huzi called Mr. Sun to discuss matters related to cooperation.
However, such confidential matters cannot be fully explained over the phone; it is best to discuss them face-to-face.
However, it is not appropriate for the two to meet now. Writing letters, though a bit old-fashioned, is a good alternative.
"Zhang Hu Zi?"
Chen Yuan stroked his chin.
Zhang Huzi is quite powerful. He has now dominated the Northeast region. Although he has the support of the Japanese, the support of the Japanese alone is certainly not enough to dominate the Northeast.
Zhang Hu Zi's internal forces were already quite complex, so it's no small feat that he managed to integrate them to this extent.
"Well, the Northeast is now Japanese territory. You killed a Hiei ninja before, so be careful."
Lu Sheng continued.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu."
Chen Yuan shrugged.
He had originally planned to go to Northeast China.
Speaking of which, he also wanted to see those historical figures who were powerful and ruthless, including Zhang Huzi, Yang Yuting, and Guo Maochen.
Unfortunately, Yang Yuting was later killed by Zhang Hanqing because of his arrogant behavior.
Yang Yuting was a formidable general, and Zhang Huzi even called him the top strategist, which is truly a pity.
"By the way, Chen boy, Brother Xu told you to study hard and asked me to give you this book."
