On Baiyun Mountain, in front of a grave, an elderly man held a five-jin jar of flower wine. In front of him was a lotus leaf wrapped flower and two porcelain bowls. He poured wine into the bowls while muttering to himself... 。,After that, Ge Dongxu's parents made a major decision and allowed their son to apprentice under Ren Yao, the old man who was sometimes insane and sometimes lucid. 。,Although Ren Yao mostly remains lucid, he hardly remembers anything from his past and has no idea what his name is. 。Later, Ge Dongxu's parents found a scar on Ren Yao's back of the head and guessed that he must have had some brain trauma, which was why he behaved this way. They wanted to take Ren Yao to the county hospital for a check-up, but Ren Yao was very stubborn and refused to go. There was nothing they could do. 。Fortunately, Ren Yao, besides occasional moments of confusion, remembered her cultivation practice even though she couldn't recall anything from her past. 。He taught Ge Dongxu how to paint talismans, how to recognize various herbs, and how to identify acupuncture points. He even taught him how to breathe and cultivate Qi. 。When teaching these things, Ren Yao always took Ge Dongxu to the dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountain and forbade his parents from watching. 。Fortunately, after Ge Dongxu followed Ren Yao to practice cultivation, not only did he never get sick again, but he also seemed to become extraordinarily smart and quick-witted. He learned anything much faster than other children his age, and was also much stronger than them. 。Thus, Ge Dongxu's parents also followed Ren Yao to teach their son. Sometimes they felt a little curious, but thinking that Ren Yao should be an extraordinary person from the Jianghu, with his own rules, they held back and didn't ask Ge Dongxu what he learned from Ren Yao. 。As long as the son is healthy, everything else is secondary. 。Two summers ago, Ren Yao finally couldn't resist the ravages of time and passed away. 。In his final moments, perhaps as a reflection, he suddenly remembered some past events. 。It's a pity that the time he had was too short. Ge Dongxu only learned about some things intermittently, and it wasn't until then that Ge Dongxu found out his master's name. 。Remembering bits and pieces of his past with his master, Ge Dongxu was momentarily lost in thought until the wine in his porcelain cup overflowed. Only then did he snap back to reality, wiping a tear from his eye corner. He picked up the porcelain cup filled with flower-scented rice wine and poured it before Ren Yao's grave. Then, he lifted his own cup and drained it in one gulp. 。A flush of color, tinged with youthful innocence, rose on her simple features, but quickly faded away. 。"Master, after you left, I have diligently practiced every day without slacking off." 。I do not flaunt the skills you taught me in front of others, nor do I use them for evil. 。Rest assured, no matter where I go, I will always keep your teachings in mind. 。“As he spoke, Ge Dongxu poured another bowl of flower wine for Ren Yao and drank one himself. He also ate some seeds.” 。"Oh, by the way, Master told you some good news. This morning during practice, I finally broke through to the third level of Qi Refining." 。You definitely didn't expect my progress to be this much, did you It's all thanks to that gossip furnace pendant you left me. 。There is another world within, containing the lifelong cultivation insights of my Dan Fu school's ancestor Ge Hong, and a complete copy of "The Classic of Nine Essences, Huapu." 。It's a pity that this discovery came too late. Had it come sooner, perhaps you would have found inspiration in this scroll of the Tao Te Ching and not left your disciple so hastily. 。"Ge Dongxu said, taking down a small peach wood sword pendant from his neck. The peach wood pendant looked ordinary, but as Ge Dongxu touched it, a streak of green flowed on its surface, emitting the fragrance of sandalwood." 。Actually, there was also another ancient-looking gossip furnace pendant hanging on it originally. It was left to him by Ren Yao when she passed away. 。Once, Ge Dongxu accidentally dripped a drop of his essence onto it. The gossip furnace unexpectedly reacted with him, and without a trace, he disappeared. 。However, at the same time, Ge Dongxu's mind inexplicably gained a lot of knowledge related to cultivation, with the most being knowledge about alchemy and elixir refining. 。Originally, Ge Dongxu had trained with his master Ren Yao for six years before he just barely broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. Since obtaining the cultivation knowledge from the八卦爐 pendant and practicing the complete version of 《The Nine Profound Scriptures of Holding Simplicity》, his cultivation speed increased dramatically. In just two years, he had broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. 。。
