Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 12 Evil Cultivator, What Are You Looking At?

"Shaoqing, are you interested in Taoism?"

After talking about the zombies in Tengteng Town, Uncle Jiu looked at Guan Shaoqing and spoke.

At this moment, Uncle Jiu was obviously much closer to Guan Shaoqing, and even changed his address from Master Guan to Shaoqing.

"To be honest, Uncle Jiu, Shaoqing has admired Taoism since he was a child. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a disciple and went abroad to study for several years. However, his desire to seek the Tao has never diminished. So, when I heard about Uncle Jiu's great name from my uncle, and it happened to be the time for my grandfather's reburial, I rushed all the way from Yuncheng to visit Uncle Jiu today."

Guan Shaoqing immediately told the truth.

"You're thoughtful." Uncle Jiu looked at Guan Shaoqing with a look of satisfaction, and then he said, "You're practicing martial arts."

Although Uncle Jiu was a Maoshan monk, he also had some knowledge of martial arts, so he judged from Guan Shaoqing's long breath that Guan Shaoqing should be practicing martial arts.

"Uncle Jiu has a good eye. Shaoqing does know a little bit about martial arts. He has learned some since he was a child."

Guan Shaoqing said.

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as just knowing a little bit of martial arts.

Uncle Jiu thought to himself, although he had only learned some martial arts superficially and his martial arts skills were not deep, but as a master of Taoism, his eyesight was not bad. Even the ordinary martial artists with successful training could not match Guan Shaoqing's long-lasting breath.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu could also conclude that Guan Shaoqing not only practiced martial arts, but his martial arts skills were probably quite high, and he was definitely not someone who only knew a little bit about boxing and kicking.

However, Guan Shaoqing was being modest, so Uncle Jiu certainly wouldn't ask any more questions and continued.

"Since you, Shaoqing, are so interested in Taoism, I will talk to you today about practicing Taoism."

"Uncle Jiu, please teach me."

Guan Shaoqing immediately saluted and concentrated, even Ren Tingting beside him couldn't help but prick up her ears curiously, just to hear Uncle Jiu talking slowly.

"Young Master, you are a martial artist, so you should be aware of the importance of physical training in martial arts. Whether it's external or internal martial arts, the essence is to cultivate the body and tap into the potential of one's physical strength."

Guan Shaoqing nodded.

What Uncle Jiu said is indeed true. When it comes to martial arts body training, whether it is external or internal skills, the essence is actually to cultivate and tap into the potential of one's own body. Moreover, when one reaches the realm of a martial arts grandmaster, the inside and the outside will be unified and there will be no distinction between them.

"Martial arts refine the body, but cultivation of the Dao is about cultivating the power of heaven and earth, absorbing the power of heaven and earth into the body for one's own use. There is spiritual energy between heaven and earth. If one can absorb this spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body for one's own use, then one can embark on the path of cultivation."

Uncle Jiu continued to talk.

"The first realm of cultivation is Qi Refining. At this level, cultivators primarily absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies, transforming it into internal spiritual power. Once this is successfully achieved, they have completely entered the doorway to cultivation and entered the realm of Qi Refining. This spiritual energy can be used to cast spells, deploy formations, draw talismans, and many other wonderful uses, exceedingly humane."

"Above Qi Refining is True Refining. At this stage, the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body is transformed into magic power, and their strength is multiplied. Above this is the Golden Core, the Primordial Spirit, and the Dao."

Uncle Jiu explained in great detail, telling Guan Shaoqing about the several major realms of cultivation.

According to Uncle Jiu, there are five major realms of cultivation, from low to high, namely, Qi Refining, True Refining, Golden Elixir, Primordial Spirit, and Entering the Dao;
Among the five realms, Qi Refining is the lowest and Ru Dao is the highest. Once a cultivator reaches the Ru Dao realm, he will be a true immortal. He is only one step away from becoming a true immortal. As long as he can survive the heavenly tribulation, he can ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

Each of the five major realms of Taoism is divided into four smaller realms: early, middle, late and peak.

"It's a pity that now, at the end of the world, spiritual energy is constantly drying up. Golden Core cultivators are already at the pinnacle, and even their primordial spirits have become legends. It's difficult to cultivate the Dao because you were born at the wrong time."

But at the end, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but sigh with regret. If he had not been born in the Dharma Ending Age, he would have achieved the Golden Elixir or even broken through to a higher realm by now, and it would not be impossible for him to get a glimpse of the immortal path in the future.

The end of heaven and earth.

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He had heard this statement a lot, but he didn't expect it to be true.

After sighing at the end, Uncle Jiu took out a Taoist book that seemed to have been prepared long ago and handed it to Guan Shaoqing.

"This is the 'Shangqing Qi Refining Method', the most basic Qi Refining method for my Maoshan disciples to cultivate and lay the foundation for their cultivation. I will pass it on to you today. If you can successfully refine Qi within six months, please come back to me."

Uncle Jiu already knew that Guan Shaoqing wanted to become his disciple, and in fact, he was very satisfied with Guan Shaoqing.

But before deciding whether to accept Guan Shaoqing as his disciple, Uncle Jiu decided to test Guan Shaoqing's talent first.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu gave Guan Shaoqing the "Shangqing Qigong Method". If Guan Shaoqing can successfully master the method within half a year, it will prove that Guan Shaoqing's talent in practicing Taoism is outstanding. Then he will not have to hesitate any more and can directly accept Guan Shaoqing as his true disciple.

On the contrary, if Guan Shaoqing fails to successfully enter the stage of Qi Refining within half a year, it will prove that Guan Shaoqing's talent in cultivation is mediocre. Whether to accept Guan Shaoqing as a disciple will depend on the situation.

Afterwards, Uncle Jiu told Guan Shaoqing all the essentials and methods of practicing the technique.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, for your teachings. If you can successfully enter the Dao within six months, I will come to formally worship you as my master and serve you tea. If you fail to do so after six months, it will only prove that you do not have the talent, and I will definitely not bother you any further."

After finally receiving the technique, Guan Shaoqing stood up and saluted Uncle Jiu solemnly before saying goodbye.
"In that case, Shaoqing and Tingting will not disturb Uncle Jiu's meditation any longer. Farewell."

"Uncle Jiu, we'll take our leave now."

Ren Tingting also stood up and said.

"it is good."

Uncle Jiu nodded upon hearing this and did not try to persuade him to stay. He had already told Guan Shaoqing everything he wanted to say and pass on. Now it depended on Guan Shaoqing himself whether he could practice Taoism and pass his own test.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Jiu, Guan Shaoqing did not stay any longer and walked out of the charity cemetery with Ren Tingting.

"Young Marshal!"

"Young Marshal!"

The brothers Wu Chenglong and Wu Chenghu, who were waiting outside the door, immediately went to meet Guan Shaoqing.

"Cousin, I want to buy some rouge and powder."

At this time, Ren Tingting said, "Okay, it's almost noon. After we finish shopping, let's find a place to eat and then go back."

"Ah."

Ren Tingting nodded happily, then took Guan Shaoqing's arm and walked towards the rouge and powder shop on the street.

Soon we arrived at the rouge and powder shop.

"You must be Uncle Jiu's disciple Qiu Sheng."

The moment Guan Shaoqing entered the store and saw the clerk, he couldn't help but greet him with a smile. It turned out that the clerk was Qiu Sheng, another disciple of Uncle Jiu. This rouge and powder shop was also the shop of Qiu Sheng's aunt.

"you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing in surprise, wondering who this man was. He dressed so elegantly, he must be rich or noble.

"My name is Guan Shaoqing. I just came back from visiting Uncle Jiu. This is my cousin Ren Tingting."

Guan Shaoqing explained with a smile that compared to Uncle Jiu's other disciple Wencai, Qiu Sheng was undoubtedly much more outstanding. Although his Taoism skills were not very good, he had good skills, courage, and was also relatively polite.

"It's Master Qing and Miss Ren, hello."

After hearing what Guan Shaoqing said, Qiu Sheng immediately understood and knew the identities of Guan Shaoqing and Ren Tingting, and then said.

"I wonder what Master Qing and Miss Ren would like to buy. I'll give you a 20% discount."

Qiu Sheng is indeed much better than Wencai. He doesn't look like a fool who can't take his eyes off Ren Tingting like Wencai does, and he doesn't have any feelings for Ren Tingting at all. Because the moment he saw Guan Shaoqing, Qiu Sheng knew that he had no chance.

"Thank you very much."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're all acquaintances, so it's only natural."

Then Ren Tingting picked out some rouge and powder she wanted to buy.

After buying rouge and powder, Guan Shaoqing found a famous restaurant in Renjia Town. However, just as she arrived at the door of the restaurant, Guan Shaoqing suddenly felt a cold and dangerous aura coming from behind her. She turned around and saw a Taoist priest in a black robe staring at her with a gloomy look.

"Found it." The Taoist looked at Guan Shaoqing with a gloomy gaze and said to himself, suppressing the urge to kill immediately.

It turned out that this Taoist was the evil cultivator who created the zombies in Tengteng Town.

"What are you looking at?"

Guan Shaoqing turned his head and looked at the Taoist and spoke suddenly.

The Taoist was startled by Guan Shaoqing's sudden words, and then he became furious, thinking, you destroyed my body and you still ask me what to look at.

"What are you looking at?"

The Taoist blurted out almost angrily.

The result is the next moment.

boom!
With a gunshot, a blood flower bloomed on the Taoist's brow and his body froze.

Then there was a series of gunshots.

Guan Shaoqing directly emptied the Taoist's magazine.

The Taoist looked at Guan Shaoqing with eyes wide open in disbelief. He didn't understand. Wasn't it just a glance at you? Why would he empty the magazine?

He had originally thought of torturing Guan Shaoqing tonight and killing him, but he never expected that he would be shot to death by Guan Shaoqing just because he glanced at him for a second longer, and it was in broad daylight, with so many people around.
Is there any fucking law here? Is there any fucking law in this world?

The Taoist died with his eyes open.

However, the Taoist forgot Guan Shaoqing's identity. He was the son of Guan Zongtang, a major warlord in eastern Guangdong, and a young marshal.

Young Marshal.

You can do whatever you want.

Not to mention that Guan Shaoqing only killed one person, even if he killed a few more, no one would dare to blame him.

Of course, Guan Shaoqing is not the kind of murderer who likes to kill people. The reason why he suddenly emptied the Taoist's magazine was because Uncle Jiu had said before that the zombies in Tengteng Town might be the work of evil cultivators, and the Taoist's look at him just now was obviously gloomy and unfriendly.

So Guan Shaoqing chose to act decisively.

This is called rather killing the wrong person than letting the guilty go.

The other people around were also stunned by Guan Shaoqing's action. They were so scared that they dared not breathe, fearing that Guan Shaoqing would get so angry that he would kill them too.

"cousin."

Even Ren Tingting was startled and looked at Guan Shaoqing.

"There's something wrong with this Taoist priest. He's probably the evil cultivator who created the zombies in Teng Teng Town. Ah Long, go to the charity cemetery immediately to ask Uncle Jiu to come over. Ah Hu, go to the Ren family to inform your uncle."

Guan Shaoqing spoke to Ren Tingting and then gave instructions to brothers Wu Chenglong and Wu Chenghu.

At the same time, this is also said to other people around.

Sure enough, after hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, the frightened looks from those around him who were looking at him improved a lot.
