Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 264 Li Jing did not disappoint Chen Xuan

"It's just like ordinary independent cultivators and sect disciples. Sect disciples have endless natural resources, but independent cultivators don't have these resources."

"So the speed of cultivation of independent cultivators is naturally incomparable to that of sect disciples. One could even describe it as being far behind."

Chen Xuan's words inevitably made Li Jing ponder. Finally, he nodded directly at Chen Xuan and said, "Senior, what you said is absolutely right."

"In fact, I have always had a wish, which is to become a Golden Immortal. If possible, I would even like to become a sage of the human race and be qualified to live in the Fire Cloud Cave."

"It's a pity that my foundation is mediocre. Although I have practiced martial arts diligently since childhood, I have not been able to enter the Dao through martial arts, and I am not qualified to join the Human Sect."

"Finally, by chance, I met my master, Master Du'e. I was able to follow him to the Nine Ding Tiecha Mountain and the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave to practice."

"I originally thought that by becoming a disciple of a saint, I would definitely have the opportunity to realize my dreams. When I finished my studies, I could realize my ambitions."

"However, after practicing for more than a few decades, my cultivation level has only reached the Earthly Immortal Realm. In the end, my master even disliked me and expelled me from the sect."

"So being able to become a disciple of the Saint again has almost become my obsession. I'm even willing to give up everything for it."

Chen Xuan nodded after hearing this. "So what about now? Are you still willing to give up everything in order to join the Chan Sect?"

Li Jing looked at Chen Xuan and said, "I don't know. If the opportunity comes one day, I don't know if I can resist the temptation."

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with Li Jing's honesty. If Li Jing said that he couldn't do it now, his chance would be completely over.

Because Chen Xuan would never believe that Li Jing's obsession would disappear so easily. So if Li Jing answered no, he would be deceiving himself.

It can even be said that his answer was just to appease himself, and not what he really thought in his heart.

So at this moment Chen Xuan had already stood up, walked into the vegetable garden, and buried two seeds.

"There's no difference between the two seeds, but the methods of growing them are different."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan watered one seed with the Three Lights Divine Water, and the other seed with ordinary mountain spring water.

Then Chen Xuan waved his hand and directly activated the Great Dao Time Law, allowing several months to pass in just one day.

But Li Jing didn't know all this and really thought that he had already spent several months.

During these few months, Li Jing had not been idle either. He had been taking care of the two cabbages in different ways according to Chen Xuan's instructions.

Until one day, when both cabbages were finally ripe, Li Jing came to Chen Xuan and told him that both cabbages were ripe.

Chen Xuan brought Li Jing to the two cabbages again and asked Li Jing, "Tell me, what are the differences between these two cabbages in the past few months?"

Li Jing pointed to the cabbage watered with the Three Lights Divine Water and said, "This cabbage was watered with the Three Lights Divine Water. It has matured after only a few days of being planted."

"But after he matures, no matter how much the younger generation gives him the Three Lights Divine Water, he won't be able to continue growing."

"Finally, it was slowly overtaken by another cabbage. Now, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two cabbages."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Jing's statement. He then asked, "So what?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then a look of immense shock crossed his face. Finally, he knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to Chen Xuan. "Thank you, Senior. I finally understand. Even if you have countless natural resources and treasures, they are useless if you don't have enough personal experience."

"It's just a shortcut to hard training, but your upper limit is already fixed. It's impossible to break it."

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Is it really impossible to break the heel? Think about it carefully."

Li Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought again, and this time several years passed before he slowly woke up.

Fortunately, this was under the accelerated state of the Great Dao Time Law. Otherwise, if so many years had really passed, the Conferred God Tribulation would probably have begun.

When Li Jing opened his eyes, he suddenly felt a different aura. His cultivation had actually broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

And this was just the beginning, not the final destination. Li Jing's cultivation continued to break through, and finally reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and then stopped.

After consolidating his cultivation, Li Jing knelt directly in front of Chen Xuan, saluted Chen Xuan respectfully and said.

"Thank you, senior. You finally made me understand. My own opportunities are within me. I don't need to seek them outside."

"Even if you join a sect, all they can give you are resources. How far you can go ultimately depends on yourself."

"Now this elder has realized himself and knows that his destiny is to protect. To protect his family, Chentang Pass, Da Shang, and the human race."

"As long as I can do this, it will be a natural progression for me to enter the Fire Cloud Cave and become a sage of the human race."

Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. "You are able to understand this point, which is worth all my efforts for you."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan had already helped Li Jing up. However, Li Jing knelt on the ground again, and Chen Xuan bowed deeply and said.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to be your disciple. Please accept me as your apprentice."

Chen Xuan shook his head. "When you had your sudden enlightenment, someone preached to you for nine years. It was because you listened to the teachings for nine years that you were able to understand yourself."

"So your master is the one who preached to you, not me."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan had already disappeared from the spot, leaving Li Jing alone, standing there at a loss.

At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Li Jing's mind. In the picture, he was sitting cross-legged in enlightenment, and there was a person sitting opposite him, preaching Taoism to him.

Li Jing could tell that the person who was preaching the Dao to him was not Chen Xuan. He even felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar.

Li Jing quickly remembered who that person was, and said in disbelief, "So the one who preached to me was actually the Emperor of the Human Race, the Sage Fuxi, the leader of the Human Religion?"

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, he saw two people appear in front of him. One of them was the Duobao Taoist who brought him to Qinglian Island.

Li Jing was also familiar with the other person, as he had seen his statue before. It was none other than the Human Cult's senior disciple, the Great Master Xuandu.

Li Jing hurriedly saluted the two of them and said, "Li Jing greets the seniors."

Taoist Duobao helped Li Jing up and said with a smile, "Li Jing, you really have some ideas. You even want to take the Taoist master as your disciple?"
