Chapter 290 Time Flies, the Dharma Assembly Is Approaching

After a careful look, Shi Xuan roughly decided on two candidates, a boy and a girl, one yang and one yin in physique, both aged 11 or 12, with steady manners and attentive listening. In terms of age and temperament, they should know more than other children.

Liu Xi ignored everything outside the window and listened attentively to Brother Li's teaching of Taoism. He had been training his body for six years. With the help of the medicinal soup, spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits of the Penglai Sect, he would be able to enter the Qi-nourishing stage in two or three years at most. However, he was eager to become a great master of the Qi-inducing stage or the Soul-inspiring stage immediately, so that he could avenge his hatred.

He was originally a descendant of a middle-class seafarer family in the overseas countries. He was quite talented and his family had no shortage of spiritual stones. Therefore, he invited monks to teach him the method of training his body since he was six years old. When he was over ten years old, he was immediately sent to participate in the ceremony of recruiting disciples of the Penglai Sect.

But soon after he arrived in the Sandao Sea, a disaster happened in his family. When transporting a batch of precious goods, the news leaked out and the family was blocked by 18 pirates at the junction of the overseas countries' seas and the Tianhuomen Sea. In the end, the goods were lost, and the useful monks and children in the family were also gone. From then on, they never recovered. What made Liu Xi most sad was that his father was responsible at that time.

However, Liu Xi, who was precocious, knew that his cultivation level would be of little use even if he returned to the family. Only by entering the Penglai Sect and learning the supreme immortal method could he hope to kill those vicious pirates and revive the family. God had mercy on him, and he finally passed the Penglai Sect's ceremony to recruit disciples and entered the outer sect.

Over the past year, Liu Xi worked hard day and night, never smiled, and only put his whole body and soul into Taoism. The children who entered the sect with him gave him a nickname: "Zombie Face", which described his lack of expression and always looked bitter and resentful.

"Okay, today's lecture ends here. Don't be lazy after you go down. The step of body building is the starting point and foundation of cultivation. Don't think that this is just a worldly practice and become lazy." Liu Xi felt that he hadn't learned much yet, and Senior Brother Li ended today's lecture. He stood up reluctantly, but in the blink of an eye, thinking of the next body building, he was full of energy again.

"Please stay for a while, fellow brothers and sisters, Master Uncle Shi wants to select two Taoist children from you." The familiar voice of Deacon Su sounded in Liu Xi's ears, and the other children who were talking and laughing after the lecture were also stunned. Although they were still young and had not been in the door for a long time, they knew what the master uncle represented. He was a great master of the soul stage, or even a golden elixir master!

Especially the master uncle surnamed Shi, there was only one in the sect, that was Master Uncle Shi Xuanshi who had just held the Golden Elixir Ceremony. Even if he had never seen Master Uncle Shi in person, Deacon Su would never dare to lie about this!

He came to recruit Taoist children? Liu Xi's heart suddenly became hot, as if he saw a golden road waving at him. Becoming a Taoist child of a Jindan Grandmaster is a good thing that many outer disciples and servants dream of.

Other children, some understand the world and are as excited as Liu Xi, while others are young and ignorant. Seeing everyone excited, they are also excited...

Shi Xuan walked to the middle of the group of children and took a look. If he had enough time and was not trying to perfect the true method, he would rather follow the master's method at that time to accept disciples. After selecting a few candidates, he would slowly observe their daily behavior, cultivation perseverance, and persistence in their original intentions. Now, he can only act according to the emergency: "You, you, what's your name?" Pointing to Liu Xi and the cute little girl on the other side who was as delicate as jade.

Although Liu Xi was excited and wanted to show off to win the attention of Master Uncle Shi, he never thought that Master Uncle Shi would point at him as soon as he opened his mouth. He was immediately surprised and panicked. It was not until Deacon Su pushed him that he suddenly came to his senses, took a step forward, and knelt on the ground with joy and excitement: "Disciple Liu Xi, I am willing to be your Taoist child." It can be said that he has undergone a major change in his family and his mind has become much calmer, so he did not stutter when he spoke.

With Liu Xi taking the lead, the little girl also knelt on the ground: "Disciple Chen Ran, I am willing to be your Taoist child." Chen Ran was just over ten years old and was a child of a casual cultivator in the Sandao Sea Area. She had seen the difficulties of low-level casual cultivators since she was a child, so she was calmer than other children. Of course, compared with Liu Xi, she was still childish. After kowtowing, her black eyes looked at Shi Xuan curiously without any hesitation.

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Don't rush to agree, you two kids, listen to me finish my words." Then he used his spiritual sense to speak directly in their minds, "This time, I recruited Taoist children, in addition to doing some chores, there is another purpose, that is, I have taken on the task of perfecting the "Shenxiao True Law", and I need some disciples to cooperate in cultivation in order to find problems. Regarding this, I have reported to the headmaster, and the headmaster agreed. However, for you, you need to think carefully, because there is no precedent for perfecting the "Shenxiao True Law", and the cultivation method given to you may have various problems. If you are not careful, you will go astray. Although you will not be worried about your life with my protection, there are always dangers, such as burying hidden dangers, slowing down the speed of cultivation in the future, etc."

After a pause, Shi Xuan said solemnly: "Now, are you still willing to become my Taoist children?"

Liu Xi made up his mind while listening. He originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Shi Shi's uncle to teach him some Taoist methods and guide him in cultivation after becoming his Taoist child. He didn't expect that this time he would have the opportunity to practice the "Shenxiao Zhenfa", the fundamental method of Penglai Sect. Even if it is full of dangers, it is a great opportunity, so he said without hesitation: "Disciple Liu Xi is willing, and I will never regret it."

Shi Xuan nodded. Looking at Liu Xi's performance, he knew that he had something on his mind, so he was so eager, but whether it was revenge or revenge, it had nothing to do with him. He could only have a chance if he learned the Taoist methods well.

Chen Ran was a little hesitant. Although her childhood experience had planted the seeds of desire for the Great Dao, longing for immortality, and longing to become a Jindan Grandmaster in her young heart, she was still young after all and was not ready to face danger.

Shi Xuan was not in a hurry. He stood in front with his hands behind his back, waiting for her answer leisurely, while continuing to look at other children. This kind of thing should always be voluntary.

Chen Ran secretly glanced at his companions around him, and was moved by the envious eyes of his companions who were about the same age and more knowledgeable about the world. Just like when he used to look at the glorious appearance of the little sister next door, it was only because she had a father in the Qi Induction Stage. At that time, his wish was very strange. He did not hope that his father would advance to the Qi Induction Stage, but that one day he would also become a master of the Qi Induction Stage, so that the people around him would be proud of it. Therefore, Chen Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple Chen Ran is willing too."

Shi Xuan nodded and said nothing. Instead, after greeting Elder Lu and Deacon Su, he turned into a breeze and wrapped the two back to Tianji Peak. It is not important for what reason to embark on the path of cultivation. What is important is whether you can see your mind and nature in the future cultivation and be firm on the road. Not every Yuanshen Zhenren, at the beginning, did not hesitate to point directly to the longevity road.

After returning to Tianji Peak, Chu Wan'er was very happy to have a little sister. She asked Chen Ran about everything and they got along very well. The monkey Qingsuo was very curious about Liu Xi's "zombie face". As long as Liu Xi was not careful, Qingsuo would pinch his face to see if it was real or fake. In the end, Liu Xi's zombie face was finally broken under Qingsuo's claws. He was furious. No matter how much family changes he had experienced, he was just a half-grown child after all.

As for Chu Wan'er, Shi Xuan decided that after the Cangmang Dharma Assembly, when her character had grown up, he would let her go out to travel and hone herself to make up for this missing lesson.

After leaving Chen Ran and Liu Xi to Chu Wan'er, Shi Xuan turned around and went to the Ziqi Donglai Tower on Tianshu Peak. This time he went to exchange for natural treasures. The Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword requires the four natural treasures of earth, fire, feng shui, and feng shui to help the success of the achievement of the soul condensation. As for good deeds, Shi Xuan is not worried. After he advanced to the golden elixir, the one million good deeds have not been used.

Shi Xuan has phoenix blood on hand, which is a natural treasure of fire, and there are three drops in total. Whether it is used as a material for the map of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, or as an aid to the Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword, it is more than enough. As for the previous Xiran, Shi Xuan did not regret exchanging it for the invisible divine iron, because the four natural treasures required by the Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword must contain the power of destruction.

There are some natural treasures in the sect, but most of them are thunder-related and unsuitable for Shi Xuan. Only one of them, the "Nine Thunder God Wind", is a wind-related natural treasure. It can only be generated after the last heavenly tribulation. When the wind blows, it not only corrodes the flesh and soul, but also thunders to the sky, turning the person into ashes.

…………

Three and a half years later, Shi Xuan's cave residence on Tianji Peak.

Shi Xuan is concentrating on cultivation, constantly adding talismans to the Taoist inscriptions in his soul, but except for advancing the seven innate minor magical powers to Taoist arts one by one, the rest of the Taoist arts have not been able to break through, and most of them are still first-level, and two are fourth-level. And the natal spirit weapon is also the same, each of which only adds a layer of Tiangang restriction.

In Shi Xuan's soul, there are two very strange inscriptions, one red and one blue, layered, much more complicated than the two fourth-level Taoist arts, but even if they are so complicated, they seem to have many omissions at first glance, and are obviously incomplete inscriptions.

This is exactly the rune that Shi Xuan used a drop of phoenix blood and a wisp of nine-thunder divine wind according to the secret method in the "Baolu" and spent three years to engrave in his soul. Each of them is a part of the Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword.

At this time, Liu Xi saw the purple light outside Shi Xuan's living room disappear, and knew that the master had finished practicing, so he said respectfully outside the door: "Master, the sect just sent someone to inform you that they will set off for Cangmang Mountain in three days." Since he is a Taoist child, he should naturally be called a Taoist child.
