Chapter 177: Teaching by Words and Deeds

Teaching by Words and Deeds

With a heart full of knots, she could not turn back time to return to the beginning of the universe and re-echo the Dao rhyme of life. Ruan Ci was originally worried about True Person Wang's Dao path, but True Person Wang himself didn't seem to care, only saying, "Everything has its own rise and fall, birth and destruction. If it is really time to decline and die, even if the mind is full of distracting thoughts, what is the use?"

The implication seems to be that he doesn't take the fate of the Shangqing or even his own Dao path too seriously. Ruan Ci felt much better in her heart, no longer regretting choosing that unknown Great Dao, and asked how True Person Wang condensed the last three turns of the Golden Core twelve. True Person Wang said, "This matter is not difficult to say, nor is it easy. Obtaining the condensed objects is the simplest means. Cave Heaven True Persons harvesting Qi luck objects is because this is the most shortcut path among all refining methods. As for causality, good fortune... it is the same. All things condensed in the last three layers of Dao foundation are ethereal. If there are condensed objects, it is fine. Some inexplicable things cannot be condensed, and can only be obtained sporadically. One can only practice many avatars, throw oneself into the red dust, and try to obtain the required things. There are also methods and wishes to obtain them. All in all, it is all-encompassing and related to the cultivation techniques practiced."

He also said, "You have a layer of Dao foundation condensed by Qi luck. That old annoying thing gave you the Cold Rain Flower King. I will pass you a secret technique here, which can refine Qi luck into the gaps, so that your weight in the field of momentum will gradually expand, and you don't have to look at others' faces for everything."

He talked about True Person Chu and still called him an old annoying thing, without the meaning of "the dead are the greatest". Ruan Ci was also slightly startled, not expecting True Person Chu to leave her a legacy, and thought in her heart, "Master told me to take back the Cold Rain Flower, so in the end, it was still obtained by me."

She couldn't help but ask, "The Ancestor's Qi luck was greatly declining, which is why he was injured by the tribulation thunder. Since there is the Cold Rain Flower King, and the Qi luck objects sent by the Qingling Sect, why not..."

True Person Wang said indifferently, "Three thousand years ago, my good senior brother gave birth to delusions because of love, and his disciples betrayed the sect, cutting himself off from the Shangqing Qi luck. He shouldn't have lived to this day. It was because the old annoying thing felt sorry for his disciples and filled in his own Qi luck, grafting flowers and trees, which barely survived until today. It was not until the Donghua Sword returned to the mountain gate that Qi luck was poured into the Sect Master again, making him have a little improvement. But the old annoying thing was already deeply ill, and it was difficult to make any progress on the Dao path. The destructive laws contained in the tribulation thunder were the most powerful, especially since he was already very weak, and he was more affected by the laws of destruction. The Cold Rain Flower King was just a drop in the bucket, so he simply didn't use it. Leaving it to others is more cost-effective. If you can pull the sword, his departure will give everyone more room to move, which is more beneficial than harmful."

Ruan Ci also knew True Person Wang's meaning. When True Person Chu was still there, a piece had to be drawn for him in the field of momentum, and he had to constantly consume magic power to disguise his and the Sect Master's Qi luck, which was also hard. Now that he has fallen and perished, the Sect Master has recovered a lot, and can inherit True Person Chu's legacy, and even Ruan Ci has gained some Qi luck objects because of this, which is more beneficial to the disciples who are still alive. Even the Pure Yang Yan Zheng Heaven and others can probably get some things, which has bought more time for Ruan Ci to refine the Donghua Sword.

Because she had been in retreat for a long time and knew nothing about the changes in the situation outside, she couldn't help but ask True Person Wang for advice, and wondered, "Where did Seeing Seeing Tianlu go? Why doesn't he come to pour tea?"

True Person Wang said, "He has to help move the residents of the Chu Jinping Heaven, but he is not free, so he can't wink at you here."

Ruan Ci also knew that she was always forgetting herself in front of True Person Wang, thinking of Seeing Seeing Tianlu. One was missing him, and the other was hoping that he could point her out at any time. She was poked by True Person Wang, and her face couldn't help but turn red. She asked again, "Then I won't ask Master. Master knows everything, but tells me nothing. I will ask Brother Ning."

She got up and pretended to leave. True Person Wang just didn't speak, looking at Ruan Ci with a smile. Ruan Ci walked to the door, looked back at him looking at her like this, and suddenly laughed again. For some reason, she was very happy in her heart, just like when she was playing with Seeing Seeing Tianlu, or just like when she was chasing the Zhou You Kun. For a time, she forgot all the mundane trivial matters, turned back and walked to True Person Wang's side, sat down, hugged his arm, rubbed her head against it, and said softly, "Master is always so strict with me. I have worked hard, Foundation Establishment twelve, and I don't know how much I missed Master when crossing the tribulation. I have suffered so much, so stay with me at this time, say a good word, what does it hinder?"

True Person Wang said, "Here you go again. You don't fear power and don't cherish virtue, and small gifts and great righteousness are all gone. Do you think I will believe you?"

Although he said so, he didn't push Ruan Ci away. Ruan Ci already knew that when True Person Wang didn't see her, it wasn't that he was really estranged from her, or hinting at anything. Seeing or not seeing were all following the fate, and it was ultimately for her own good. Hearing him mock her like this, she also knew that the "I don't know how much I missed Master" she said casually, True Person Wang didn't believe it at all. But at this time, she leaned on True Person Wang's shoulder, listening to the rise and fall of the spiritual rhyme tide in True Person Wang's Dharma body, and smelling the faint and special unique aura in True Person Wang's spiritual Qi, she didn't know how peaceful and happy she was in her heart, only hoping that this moment could last long, and even if her cultivation advanced again and time changed, it would never change, and there would always be a Ruan Ci who could lean on her Master's side and take him as her reliance for the time being.

It was just that in this peace, there was a faint emptiness, but she didn't know what was missing. After waiting for a while, the emptiness did not ease at all, but instead gave birth to anger. Ruan Ci herself felt strange, secretly thinking, "Is Master not good enough to me? What else do I expect him to do?"

She stole a glance at True Person Wang, hoping that he could hear her heart, and give an answer. When she looked over, True Person Wang's eyes were also looking over, his eyes were faint, as if he knew nothing about her thoughts, just the corners of his mouth raised. Ruan Ci knew that this was also a pretense. In fact, the confusion in her heart made him feel quite interesting, and True Person Wang probably wouldn't give her any enlightenment at this time.

Ruan Ci hummed, moved aside a little, let go of her hand to show her anger, and said with a straight face, "Even if there is no small gift and great righteousness, that is the disciple being like the master, all are Master's teaching by words and deeds."

The two teased for a few words, and Ruan Ci couldn't really just walk away. There were still many doubts in her cultivation to ask True Person Wang. True Person Wang also gave careful guidance at this time, without any impatience. The two were immersed in the Dao method, and when they had a little free time, they discussed the major trends in the sect, and even the changes in the world situation. Many of Ruan Ci's doubts were solved under True Person Wang's teaching, but she still knew nothing about her own Dao rhyme, and didn't know how to practice. According to True Person Wang, "All Cave Heaven True Persons in the Langh

Ruan Ci had a belly full of words she wanted to ask. Even if Wang True Person had not condensed Dao rhyme into a tier, his knowledge was always higher than hers. The two of them deducing together would be better than her fumbling alone. But she was choked back by this sentence. She thought to herself, "How can there not be one that condenses Dao rhyme into a tier? How can one integrate with the Dao like this? Does it mean that cultivators carrying two kinds of Dao rhymes cannot integrate with the Dao? No way, then wouldn't the number of cultivators who can integrate with the Dao in the Zhou Tian and ten thousand worlds be reduced by more than half? And in this way, wouldn't the Cave Heaven be the end of these cultivators' cultivation? Then after ascending to the Cave Heaven, wouldn't the Dao heart be shaken and destroyed? If one cannot integrate with the Dao anyway, what is the point of cultivating?"

This thought was naturally quite extreme, but it also made some sense. Ruan Ci knew that there must be a hidden story here. She thought to herself, "I fear that the Langhuan Zhou Tian is another special one. I don't know if this specialty is because of Dao Ancestor Nirvana or Dao Ancestor Dongyang. What does Sister Sister Sister Xie wanting to break out of the Cave Heaven have to do with this specialty? Since I entered the Dao, everything I have seen and heard makes me feel that there are mysteries everywhere. In what I see, I fear that nine out of ten things have hidden stories, as if the whole world is shrouded in a huge lie. Many people know the truth, but they tacitly agree to cover it up together. This... when will I be able to know the truth? Why are those who know it all covering it up?"

In her heart, Sister Sister Xie Yan should know the truth. Therefore, Ruan Ci deduced that at the latest, one could decrypt it at the Nascent Soul stage. She herself was the most special Jin Dan cultivator, and Wang True Person had not told her anything yet, which showed that Jin Dan cultivators were not listed among those in the know. But would people like Xu Xu Xu Shaowei and Zhong Shiliu be exceptions?

Thinking back to what Zhong Shiliu said when he was recruiting Ruan Rong, it felt even more meaningful and had endless aftertastes. She did not know if the Taiwei Sect's desire to unify the Zhou Tian had anything to do with this. Was the "it will be too late" that Wang Wang Wang Panpan mentioned also referring to this secret? She also did not know what cultivation base those disciples of Wang True Person had when they were coerced into betraying the sect. If they were also Jin Dan, then it could be seen that Jin Dan cultivators could already bear the secret, but were not told for many other reasons.

Her thoughts were so noisy, and she had not specifically guarded against Wang True Person. Wang True Person actually had no response, so Ruan Ci knew that this secret probably existed, but he would not say it at this time. She put this matter aside first and asked Wang True Person to teach her the "Supreme Response Chapter." Wang True Person said, "It is not impossible to pass this technique to you. With your natural endowment, if you cannot cultivate it, then no one in the world can cultivate the response technique. It is just that the response technique is very mentally exhausting and may delay your cultivation progress, especially for you. Not to mention those last three apertures, I observe your Jin Dan is like the sun, incomparably huge, and the spiritual energy required is also an astonishing amount. Now that you have formed the Dan, you still have to go to Bi Yuan Mountain to collect the remnants of the Eastern Flower, or perhaps go to the Bao Yun Sea. With so many trivial matters intruding, and you still want to cultivate the response technique, do you think you can handle both?"

As Ruan Ci's cultivation deepened step by step, he no longer made decisions for her in everything, mostly letting her choose. Ruan Ci, however, had made up her mind that she would be useful in the future and could not be trapped in the Jin Dan realm. Moreover, she still did not know which Dao Ancestor had been integrated into her twelfth-tier Dao foundation. She thought, "If I cultivate the response technique, maybe I can sense that twelfth-tier Dao seed, which is also the first step to subduing the Eastern Flower Sword."

If she wanted to control the Dao rhyme of Life, she naturally had to strengthen her own Dao rhyme, or understand the relationship of mutual generation and restraint between them. Otherwise, blindly using brute force would likely not be effective. She had always been willful, and since she had the intention in her heart, she nodded and smiled, "How will I know if I don't try?"

Wang True Person had no more words and gave her the technique, saying, "Ordinary people find it difficult even to get started with this technique, but for you, it will be achieved in one step. However, the response technique is difficult to master and has requirements for the spiritual sense. Even with your current spiritual sense, it is not easy to use it freely. I originally wanted to bestow some magic treasures upon you, but your cultivation progress is too fast, and they are no longer useful to you. I will give you the old treasures I used to use."

As he spoke, he reached into his bosom, took out a jade pendant, and placed it in Ruan Ci's palm, saying, "This pendant is called the Nine Heavens One-Heart Pendant and has quite a few wonderful uses. First, it can amplify the spiritual sense nine times, and also bring the response to one, smoothing out thoughts and calming the heart lake, which is most useful. It can also release silk threads to form a network in the momentum field to capture the enemy's tracks. There are other uses, just wait for you to explore them yourself. Magic treasures are like this; you have to use them yourself for them to be convinced. The more spiritual a magic treasure is, the more it can guess its owner's temperament. In the hands of different people, the uses are also different."

This was the first time Wang True Person had personally bestowed a treasure. Ruan Ci was naturally happy, holding the jade pendant in her hand and playing with it joyfully. She gave an "eh" and said, "This jade pendant can be split into two?"

Wang True Person said, "That's right. It is called the One-Heart Pendant, and it can also be held by Dao companions, each holding half. As long as you are within the Langhuan Zhou Tian, even if you are separated by continents, you can be connected and talk to each other, and locate each other. However, the power will be halved because of this, and both people's spiritual sense must be sufficient to drive it; otherwise, the further the distance, the more spiritual sense is required, which is also useless. But if the spiritual sense is sufficient, then you can sense each other without this One-Heart Pendant. I feel this use is very chicken-rib-like and have never split it. I didn't expect that as soon as it reached your hands, it would be split into two by you."

Ruan Ci took the two halves of the jade pendant in her hands, channeled her magic power, and refined the jade pendant with ease. She took one half to Wang True Person, walked to the corner of the room, and said to the other half, "Master is so poor."

After saying it, she laughed, "Oops, I'm stupid. It should be Master speaking, and I should see if I can hear it."

She put on an act and tapped her forehead lightly, as if mocking her own clumsiness, not intentionally saying those words. Wang True Person glanced at her and finally held the jade pendant to his thin lips. His slightly red lips moved silently a few times. Ruan Ci listened carefully, and sure enough, the familiar voice came from the jade pendant, saying, "I think you really want to go guard Purple Jade Cliff."

Purple Jade Cliff was the most desolate and dangerous place in Purple Void Heaven, where fierce beasts and criminals were imprisoned. Ruan Ci could not help but laugh loudly. She took back the jade pendant from Wang True Person's hand, put it back together, and held it in her hand, looking at it left and right, loving it very much. She said with satisfaction, "I want to leave this jade pendant for Seeing Seeing Tianlu, so that next time I go out, even if I can't take him with me, I can chat with him from time to time, so he won't be bored alone by the True Person's side."

Wang True Person did not comment and added, "The Heavenly Mandate Cloud Seed conceals your aura, and your clan sister also shares the tribulation power for you. She is your substitute, taking on many causes and effects, replacing your dangers, and bearing your destiny. The mystery of this is not something everyone can see through. Since you haven't drawn the sword yet, don't let it slip when you visit various places."

Only then did Ruan Ci know that Ruan Rong's role as a substitute was not yet finished, and even the tribulation thunder had her share. She was greatly shocked. Although she knew that Ruan Rong must not be in any life-threatening danger, she was still very worried. She hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left, preparing to visit various places. She also thought about the disappearance of He Tong, fearing that it would fall on Lu Lu Lu Huangning to handle, and she had not visited Wang Wang Wang Panpan or Seeing Seeing Tianlu either. She was truly unable to be in two places at once. After thinking about it, she sent a maid to Seven Stars Small Abode, and she herself went to Lu Lu Lu Huangning first, as she also needed to sort out her own forces properly.

Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. These past few days, I feel like I slept especially well yesterday!

I read a mother-in-law article yesterday that was quite good. The plot was very novel, but the plot conflict was a bit weak, I feel. It was the old-fashioned flavor I like, called "Wash once, slap once," cough, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Have you all played Cyberpunk 2077! I haven't! Because I get dizzy with first-person 3D! I'll vomit after playing for a while!
