Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Because Zhe Gu had a lot of things to do in the charity hall, she separated from the others halfway through the journey, and even smiled smugly at Uncle Jiu before leaving.

"Lin Zhengying, you owe me another favor, remember to pay it back."

Uncle Jiu had no choice but to agree. When they returned to the charity cemetery, it was almost dawn, so they all went to sleep for a while.

Lu Li slept until noon and woke up because of hunger. He got up and saw Wencai preparing lunch and Uncle Jiu practicing boxing in the yard. Uncle Jiu's skills were beyond Lu Li's reach in such a short time. Every punch he threw was filled with unique Taoist connotations, which made people immersed in it.

Seeing the fluctuations of spiritual energy all over Uncle Jiu's body, Lu Li knew that Uncle Jiu was about to break through to the late stage of foundation building, and was now accumulating mana. The master was so hardworking, the apprentice couldn't fall behind.

"Master, I plan to go out for a walk."

"Well, I thought you were planning to live off your parents." Uncle Jiu threw a punch and glanced at Lu Li.

Lu Li smiled awkwardly, "If I stay with Master all the time, I probably won't be able to enter the Golden Core stage in my lifetime. And I need to walk more to gain insights."

"What you lack is experience and understanding of Taoism. This is also the reason why we have to go down the mountain to train after building our foundation in Maoshan. How can you comprehend the world by staying at home every day? Go when you have figured it out. Tell me if you have anything." After saying that, Uncle Jiu also breathed in and out to end his practice.

"After dinner, I'll leave. This time I'll go to the north." Renjia Town is in the south, so this time I'll go to the northern area to see the world.

"Your uncle Qianhe is also in the north, relatively close. You can also contact him if you have any problem. However, your own safety should be the most important thing in everything." Although it was not the first time that his disciple went out, Uncle Jiu was still worried.

After dinner, Lu Li took his bag and went out. Uncle Jiu was still standing at the door, watching Lu Li go away. His apprentice had grown up and he couldn't always keep him by his side. He sighed and went into the yard.

All the way north, Lu Li was no longer in a hurry this time, but for the purpose of traveling. Sometimes he felt that a place was good, so he would stay there for two or three days. He walked and stopped for half a month and arrived at Pingshan Town.

The town was bustling with people coming and going, and it was obviously very prosperous. Lu Li randomly found a restaurant and walked in. He was a little tired of eating only dry food to fill his stomach for the past ten days. Although after practicing to Lu Li's level, not eating for two or three days would not be a problem, but the habits of his previous life made Lu Li pay great attention to eating and drinking.

Before I even went up to the second floor, I heard a voice ringing in my ears.

"Boy, come up and sit down."

Lu Li paused. What kind of cultivation level is this? He can transmit sound in his ear, but his consciousness didn't even detect this person. After thinking about it, Lu Li went upstairs. If this kind of person wanted to deal with him, he might not be able to fight back at all.

The second floor was very quiet, with only one person sitting at a table. It was obviously the person who had just transmitted the message. He was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with black hair and wrinkles all over his face. He had a tuft of white goatee on his chin, and his eyes were sharp and clear. There was no turbidity of an old man at all.

"What are you looking at? Are you afraid that I will hurt you?" the old Taoist said with a smile.

Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the solemn atmosphere just now was broken by the old Taoist's smile.

"Maoshan Lu Li greets the senior." I hope the name of Maoshan can make the old Taoist feel cautious.

"It's true that you are senior, but the title is wrong. You should call me Grandmaster." The old Taoist picked up the tea and took a sip.

Lu Li was stunned. Grandmaster. I heard from my master that Grandmaster is the head of Mount Mao. How could he be here? Then he reacted and bowed quickly.

"Disciple Lu Li pays homage to the Grandmaster."

The old Taoist priest was sitting opposite the table. He lifted his hand and Lu Li felt an irresistible force lifting him up.

"That's the right name. Are you curious about why I'm here?"

"There is a feeling that the master is waiting for his disciple."

Pointing to the empty seat next to him and asking Lu Li to sit down, the waiter started serving the dishes.

"We can talk while eating. This restaurant is opened by Maoshan believers. No one will come up to the second floor. You can talk without worry if you have anything to say."

Lu Li didn't expect that Maoshan had believers in such a place.

As if seeing Lu Li's confusion, the old Taoist explained: "Maoshan is not as simple as you think, or Taoism and Buddhism are not as simple as you think. With thousands of years of heritage, do you think that's just what it looks like on the surface? Then you underestimate these inheritances."

Lu Li nodded. After all, the movie was a bit superficial, and there was only so much time, not enough for the protagonist to show his abilities. Naturally, other background elements were weakened to the point of being dispensable.

"I came down here mainly for you, and secondly to check some things. When you were ordained a few years ago, I knew you had talent. Sure enough, in less than ten years, you have reached the late stage of foundation building, and your soul cultivation has also improved. I only found out about this after receiving a message from your master, so I went down the mountain. I expected you to appear here, so I came here to wait for you."

Lu Li was touched. It turned out that his master had made this trip just for him and even waited for him.

"You've gone astray. Although you will be able to achieve the Golden Elixir sooner or later if you continue on this path, it will waste a lot of time, which is also tantamount to wasting your talent." The old Taoist looked at Lu Li with regret.

"Master, what's going on? Why do you say that?" Lu Li asked in surprise.

"You have been misled. Your master told me about the White Lotus Rebirth Method when he received it from you. I was worried about this, but I didn't expect you to practice it. Do you know why the White Lotus Sect created the White Lotus Rebirth Method?"

Lu Li shook his head.

"I don't know. Isn't it for cultivating the spirit?"

"It is to seduce believers. The White Lotus Sect takes anti-Qing as its mission and needs a large number of believers, so a large number of cultivators who specialize in cultivating the primordial spirit have emerged. The rebirth of the White Lotus was born because of this. We Taoists believe in the naturalness of everything. When you have cultivated enough, you will naturally feel it. Your cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. What you lack is tempering. When you understand what Tao is, you will naturally achieve the elixir. Fortunately, you didn't waste too much time." The old Taoist pointed a way to Lu Li.

Lu Li thought deeply. He thought that the soul, like magic power, had to be cultivated with exercises. However, he did not expect that Taoists relied on perception to strengthen the soul. Tao follows nature. If he forcibly cultivated the soul without perceiving the nature of heaven and earth, he might be stuck in the late stage of foundation building forever.

Lu Li smiled bitterly, thinking he had found a cheat, but it turned out to be patched by the official, and it couldn't be used. He had actually cheated Uncle Jiu.

"Master, I won't practice this technique anymore."

"This technique is still somewhat useful. When your soul is polluted, you can use it to cleanse it. The effect is much stronger than our Maoshan's "Calming Sutra". You don't have to worry about your master. I have told him that this is a lesson for you. You can't be greedy for everything. When you think you are taking advantage, you may fall into a trap without knowing it."

The old Taoist looked at Lu Li as if he was looking at a greedy ghost.

After laughing awkwardly twice, Lu Li quickly poured the old Taoist a glass of wine.

"Master, why do I have no power to resist you?"

The old Taoist said angrily: "I don't know what Lin Jiu has taught you. You are so crude in the use of mana. Do you think mana can only be exerted through skills?"

"Isn't it?" Lu Li had always thought that the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" was for cultivating mana, and skills like "Five-Strike Lightning Fist" and "Palm Thunder" were used to exert mana. Just like playing games in the previous life, after learning a skill, you can use it as long as you have mana, and the rest is just a normal attack.

The old Taoist's beard was all puffed up with anger, and he knocked Lu Li on the head.

"Those skills were created to enhance the power of mana use, and because it is the end of the Dharma era, using these skills will allow one to properly use their own spiritual energy."
