Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 301: Plant a Zhang Ze in the spring, deduct a hundred years of Lao Li’s salary in the autumn
Captain Chen stood on the beach, looking at the dark sea.

Although it was already night, to him there was no difference between day and night. As long as he wanted, he could "see" everything around him.

The breathing of sandworms, the bursting of bubbles, the soft sound of sea breeze passing through the feathers of wild birds, he could see, hear and perceive everything.

The world now looked different in his eyes.

An appearance that cannot be understood or even imagined by mortals or low-level cultivators.

Soon, Captain Chen discovered something interesting.

It's not Xiao Yilong, but a fish.

A big fat carp was lying on the shore, jumping around lively.

It ran aground.

This big fish is very fat, its scales are shining silver in the moonlight, and its mouth is opening and closing as if it is talking.

Looking at the fish, he became interested.

As the saying goes, if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.

Chen Qianhu probably has the same problems as Zhang Ze, otherwise he wouldn't like Zhang Ze so much.

But now that I'm old, I have to be more stable. I basically drink tea and fold paper in the main pavilion on weekdays. Even if I have ideas, I have nowhere to display them.

Now that he is alone outside, Lao Deng has become more and more restless.

"Fish, fish, why are you here?"

Captain Chen walked forward, lifted the fat fish with his foot, and gave it a light kick, causing it to float up.

The big carp stared at Chen Qianhu with its dead eyes, without saying a word.

Lao Deng stared at the fish for a while, sighed, and felt that it was not as fun as Zhang Ze's, so he let the fish fall onto his feet again.

Then he raised his leg and kicked the big carp gently into the sea.

"Go away, don't come ashore next time."

After doing the first good thing of the night, Captain Chen put his hands in his pockets and continued to search for Xiao Yilong who was hiding nearby.

Beneath the sea sand, Xiao Yilong's soul condensed into a small pearl, hidden next to a dead sandworm.

He didn't dare to move, not at all, he didn't dare to crawl out of this small sand pit and then escape from here like a parasite by riding on the body of a sea fish.

He dared to guarantee that as long as he dared to move, Captain Chen would definitely appear behind him and say something softly.

"I see you."

Xiao Yilong, who was seriously injured and only had half a wisp of his soul left, couldn't help but start thinking about what went wrong.

The plan was obviously going so smoothly. Both the clan leader and the Human Emperor Flag had been planning for so long. With the right time, place and people all coming together, it should have been successful.

Just as promised, I will become the second best person in the world, and what I get should be a dream-like supreme glory, but why did it turn out like this?
He had no answer, because his memory, like his soul, was missing half, and the remaining memories were beginning to recede like the tide.

He even forgot how to return to the headquarters of the Hundred Demons Sect.

As he continued to think, the half of his soul that was left began to become loose and fragmented for some unknown reason, and was about to disappear silently into the sea.

It's just a slow wait for death, that's all.

But just when Xiao Yilong was about to forget who he was, he suddenly found that the sea sand above his head was pushed away by a pair of plump and round lips.

It's a carp.

A carp dug him out.

Xiao Yilong looked at the carp and his mind was twitching.

"This is the ocean, the water is salty, why are there carp?"

Even in the dark seabed, the scales of the big carp were shining with silver light. It took a big gulp and sucked Xiao Yilong's soul into its stomach.

on the beach.

Captain Chen suddenly noticed something unusual, as if the night wind blew up the veil, and his misplaced common sense was corrected.

On the beach? Why are there stranded carp?

Especially a carp that is ordinary and has nothing unusual about it.

The biggest abnormality is that there is no abnormality. Why didn’t I have any doubts just now?
Logically speaking, I shouldn't make this kind of common sense mistake, unless I'm under the influence of a spell.

But the only one who can influence the thoughts of a Mahayana monk is another Mahayana monk.

Captain Chen turned around and slashed out with his sword.

He cut the sea.

Xiao Yilong's breath leaked out a little at this moment, but soon it disappeared again.

Captain Chen saw a flash of silver light in the moonlight. It was the fat fish.

There was a wound on the once flawless fish scales. The fat fish twisted its body and fled into the deeper sea.

Captain Chen took a step forward and chased after him.

Jian Zong.

In a small courtyard, the stars are shining brightly above my head and snoring is like thunder beside me.

Zhang Ze yawned, looked at A'li who was still sleeping soundly with some envy, and continued the previous topic.

"I don't know why, but I feel like I've become a little sensitive. Just now, I felt the Sect Master make a move. I don't know who he was fighting. But it was only for a moment, and now the Sect Master's aura has disappeared again."

"It wasn't like this before, but it became like this after I touched the Dongzhou luck. I hope I'm sick." Zhang Ze asked.

Sitting aside, Chen Qin, who was listening quietly, glanced at Zhang Ze who was fine, and suddenly remembered his senior brother's bad mouth, so he raised his hand.

"Mom, do you want to send someone to check on my dad?"

Mo Jingchun didn't care, "Why look at him? He can't get lost."

She was confident in her husband's strength. Mo Jingchun didn't think anyone in the world could hurt Chen Qianhu, and Chen Qianhu didn't have the habit of running away from home for a long time like Old Tang.

She thought that Zhang Ze’s matter was more important now.

Mo Jingchun stood up and walked around Zhang Ze, then reached out and touched Zhang Ze's forehead, sensing it for a while and said.

"It is indeed related to your adventure at the Qinghe Conference, but it's nothing serious. It's just a sign of your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Qin, who was sitting beside him hugging A'li and playing with its little tail, turned around and looked at Zhang Ze in disbelief when she heard this.

An expression that said, "Why are you so fast? Why don't you take me to play again?"

Zhang Ze was also speechless because he really didn't feel anything this time.

The last time he formed the golden elixir, he felt it quite clearly and could feel the changes in his body and meridians.

But why is it so dull when I reach the Nascent Soul stage?

Seeing Zhang Ze confused, Mo Jingchun frowned and asked, "Do you know what Yuanying is?"

This question once again hit Zhang Ze's blind spot in knowledge. After a moment of silence, he uttered a piece of extremely correct nonsense.

"The one that can fight better than the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul."

After hearing Zhang Ze's answer, the little sister sighed deeply and looked up at the sky.

Mo Jingchun's forehead twitched, but she was still in a state of seeing Zhang Ze getting better and better, so she just thought Zhang Ze was joking and said patiently, "Think about it again?"

This time, Zhang Ze pondered for a long time, using his amazing wisdom to try hard to recall the voice, smile and appearance of his master Lao Li and his teachings.

Finally, he clapped his hands.

"Yuan Ying is about farming, getting married, and having children!"

"Puff!" Chen Qin, who was drinking tea on the side, spat out a mouthful of water.

Mo Jingchun had a blank expression on his face. "Go on, why does the Nascent Soul give birth to a child?" Zhang Ze was quite confident and began to talk big.

"Look, if we compare this cultivator to an acre of land, practicing Qi is like loosening the soil, applying fertilizer, clearing the land, sowing seeds, and laying a solid foundation so that we can reap a harvest in the fall.

"In autumn, when fruits and vegetables are ripe, it's time to sell them. With enough money, people start to think about building houses and high-rise buildings.

"This tall building is equivalent to laying the foundation, and the cultivators now have a foundation to stand on."

Listening to Zhang Ze's twisted logic, the little sister suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense, so she picked up a honeydew melon and ate it while listening.

Zhang Ze continued to talk nonsense.

"Once I have a place to live, I can save money. I can farm and save money at the same time. When I meet the conditions, I can get married and start a family.

"Holding the Yuan and guarding the One, refining the golden elixir, is like marrying a wife. With one more person in the family, the land that can be reclaimed will become larger. If two people work together, won't life get better and better?

"After you get better, you'll have to give birth to a child. This Yuanying, Yuanying, doesn't it mean that the golden elixir has turned into a child?

"You see, whether from the perspective of farming or from the perspective of the cultivator himself, this Nascent Soul is not just about giving birth to children."

Zhang Ze was so excited about his talk that he didn't even look at his mother-in-law's expression.

"By the way, I also met an interesting person at the Qinghe meeting this time. He was from the Yiren Sect.

“I heard from them that their method of cultivation is to raise the Nascent Soul as a child, and when it reaches the stage of Transformation, it will become a dual body, directly turning the Nascent Soul into a Taoist partner.

“The subsequent fusion realm is infinitely wonderful, but their sect leader is currently stuck at the Spiritual Transformation Realm and has not found the correct method for fusion.

“However, I heard him say the day before yesterday that their sect leader seemed to have an idea, and he got it from me.

"The old sect leader got inspiration from my 'Love Like Tide' set. I mean, the Spiritual Fist. He plans to practice Spiritual Fist with his Taoist partner to see if they can find a new way to combine."

Mo Jingchun couldn't bear to listen any longer. She coughed lightly and said, "Let's not talk about that sect. Who taught you that saying that being a cultivator is like farming?"

"My master." Zhang Ze said.

"Oh, Li Guanqi? What did he say exactly?" Mo Jingchun asked calmly.

"My master said this. Teaching you is like farming. You don't have to worry about anything. In the spring, I picked you up and brought you back to the Sword Sect, and threw you on the ground. By autumn, you will have established your foundation."

"In the blink of an eye, a year has passed and you have reached the Golden Core stage again. I'm afraid that in a few more years, you will become a spirit while walking. By then, you will no longer be under my control."

Zhang Ze said this in the tone of his master Lao Li.

Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, already having a plan in mind.

As a teacher, Li Guanqi was negligent in teaching, and this was not his first offense, so this time his salary will be deducted for a hundred years.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Guanqi, who was playing with a dog, suddenly felt a shiver in his heart, feeling as if he was about to lose something precious.

But after waiting for a long time, no bricks fell from the sky and hit him, so he just thought it was his illusion.

He continued to instruct Heiqu and Maomao in swordplay.

One always has to find something to do. Lao Li felt that he had been a little slack recently, but there was nothing he could do because his two apprentices were really easy to take care of.

Fu Ji, she has been abducted by Yaowang Valley, but they still send a small group of her back occasionally to check on us, so it's okay.

As for Zhang Ze, he felt that he couldn't teach him at all now, because he didn't know all the messy things that Zhang Ze knew.

He doesn't know anything about the art of soul fusion or the Buddhist golden body.

If the master doesn’t know it, how can he teach?

After thinking carefully for a long time, Lao Li felt that he had met the wrong person and made the wrong choice of disciple.

So, he took advantage of Li Yueqi's presence and began to guide her family's Heiqu.

Firstly, he wanted to repay the favor of his apprentice Zhang Ze for learning the art of soul fusion, and secondly, it was because Heiqu was indeed a good seedling.

As for Maomao, it was just a coincidence.

But you know what, this dog is actually better than humans.

Li Guanqi was very satisfied with Heiqu's diligent study and planned to advance some of his salary tomorrow to make a good sword for him.
On the mountain, after completing the operations on Li Guanqi's future financial situation, Mo Jingchun raised his hand and asked Zhang Ze to stand up.

Then, before Zhang Ze could react, he snapped his fingers and knocked him out.

Unlike the moves he fed Zhang Ze in previous training, this time the force was not strong, only the power of the early Jindan stage, and the speed was not fast, but Zhang Ze had nowhere to dodge.

After letting Zhang Ze experience it firsthand, she waved her hand to call Zhang Ze back, and then without asking Zhang Ze what he thought, she explained to him directly.

"The fundamental difference between the Nascent Soul and the Golden Core lies not in the changes in their power, but in the way they view everything in the world."

"An ordinary tree, no matter how tall it grows, is just a tree. Before it gains intelligence, it will never understand what the world looks like to us humans."

Mo Jingchun picked up the teacup on the table.

"What does this teacup look like to you?"

"It's pretty good, white and clean." Zhang Ze squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything.

"But in my eyes, it's not. This teacup is actually very imperfect and full of flaws, just like a broken piece of wood. I don't even need to use force to turn it into dust."

Mo Jingchun gently placed the teacup on the table without using any force, and the teacup turned into dust in front of Zhang Ze.

"The reason I was able to easily knock you away just now is because in my eyes, you are just like this teacup, full of flaws.

“In fact, in the eyes of Mahayana monks, only ourselves and a few individual Dharma instruments are relatively perfect in this world; everything else is just like this teacup.

"The Golden Core is only a threshold. When a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it is the true beginning of the path. After the accumulation of cultivation and the transformation of the body reach a certain level, you will see more things, hear more sounds, and feel more subtle changes in spiritual energy.

“The perfect will become imperfect, and the beautiful will become ugly.

"The air between heaven and earth for human beings to breathe will be filled with dust in your eyes and will no longer be pure.

"Pleasant music will become inexplicably harsh because you can hear more sounds.

"Aura has a different rhythm in your perception, allowing you to control it just right.

"This is only the Nascent Soul stage. As your realm continues to increase, you will see more things and eventually become like us, reaching the essence of things."

"Reinvention."

Mo Jingchun flipped her palm, and the teacup that had just turned into dust appeared in her hand again, exactly the same as before.

“It’s no different from when a child plays with mud, except that I do it more carefully.

"Now you understand, this is why after the Nascent Soul stage, what you cultivate is the spirit and soul, and the heart of Tao." Mo Jingchun asked.

Zhang Ze pondered for a long time, without joking, and said seriously.

"The cultivation of the spirit soul brings us closer to the essence of things, while the Tao heart allows us to still remember what it means to be human."

"If one cannot adapt to changes in oneself and the world around them, they will turn into a monster or disintegrate into something else, which is known as becoming possessed by a demon or even dying."

"Smart." Although Zhang Ze's description was still not very accurate, Mo Jingchun still looked at Zhang Ze with approval.

“The human race’s method of cultivation is actually a process of constantly confirming one’s own existence while simultaneously pursuing the essence of things and transcending oneself.

"The transformation of the golden elixir into the Nascent Soul is the manifestation of the transformation of the soul after using this set of cultivation methods.

“Those evil cultivators blindly pursue breakthroughs in realm and strength, but their spirits and Dao hearts cannot keep up with the changes in their realm, so they lose their way and become perverse and ruthless.

“As for the demons, barbarians, and some innate beings, they are different from us humans. They have their own methods.

"So I," Zhang Ze said.

After talking for so long, Zhang Ze benefited a lot, but he actually just wanted to ask how to solve his tinnitus and manual transmission breathing problems.

Will tinnitus disappear after forming the Nascent Soul?

But before he could finish his words, he heard Mo Jingchun say, "So, I don't recommend you to cultivate the Nascent Soul."

"Huh?" Zhang Ze was puzzled.

The little junior sister who had been listening quietly blinked her eyes and took another piece of melon from the table.
