Chapter 278 Five Elements Spiritual Technique "Fan Daoist, have you had breakfast yet? How about sitting down and eating together and talking while we eat?" "Of course I have eaten..." Although Master Fan said so, he glanced down and saw that the wontons in their bowls were jade white with a hint of pink inside. The soup bottom was oozing with oil and garnished with chopped green onions. The smell was also the oily aroma of the bone soup and the faint fragrance of chopped green onions. Although simple, it was very appetizing. "Please give me another bowl, shopkeeper!" "okay!" When the shop owner saw that it was Master Fan, he was very excited and immediately gave him the wontons he had prepared for another customer, thinking that he would now have something to brag about in the future. So the three became four, and the fox and the cat ate with their own bowls on the bench. "Fellow Daoist said he was interested in the Five Elements Spiritual Arts, so I thought about which fellow Daoists in Juxian Mansion might be practicing the Five Elements Spiritual Arts, and took the opportunity to visit them during the New Year." Tianshi Fan said, "In the end, I actually met such a fellow Daoist Wan." Master Fan took a bite of wonton: "Fellow Daoist Wan is currently practicing the Five Elements. I have heard about you returning the favor to fellow Daoist Tao, and also about you easily subduing a stone horse on the street. I have great respect for your magic and virtue, and therefore I am confident that you will not deceive me. This time I intend to use my own Five Elements magic to ask you for a few magic that I can use." Lin Jue thought deeply.
The junior sister was also very serious. She put down her chopsticks and listened carefully, because she knew that this was actually what the senior brother found for her. "May I ask what kind of personality Fellow Daoist Wan has and what abilities he has?" Lin Jue inquired. "That fellow Daoist Wan's surname is Wan Mingchun, and his courtesy name is Xinrong. He has an upright and scoundrel character. He has the ability to swallow a knife and spit out flames, walk on water and cover the soil, and has the ability to break off the bondage." He is honest and scoundrel... Lin Jue pondered silently in his heart. It sounds contradictory, but it is actually how people are. Swallowing a knife, spitting flames, walking on water, covering the earth, intermittently... The so-called intermittent should mean that wounds recover faster and broken limbs can be reconnected. Although Lin Jue had never come into contact with the Five Elements Spiritual Magic, he had heard of the wonders of the Five Elements Spiritual Magic: just like after practicing the Yin-Yang Spiritual Magic, one's magic power is divided into Yin and Yang, which has its own wonders. Even if one does not learn other spells, just spitting out Yin and Yang energy can cause harm to living people and ghosts. The Five Elements Spiritual Magic is the same. It has its own wonders, and at the same time, it makes one more proficient in fighting. These sound like the inherent charms of the Five Elements Spiritual Magic, rather than separate magic spells learned. Tianshi Fan beside them naturally knew what they wanted to ask, so there was no need for them to ask again, and he said directly: "According to my guess, if this Daoist Wan were to ask for a price, he would definitely ask for a high price at first, but in fact he doesn't know many spells, so Daoist you don't have to spend too much." "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fan." "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fan!" "It is also because the story between you and Tao has spread. Otherwise, even if people knew that you knew many spells, not many people would be willing to exchange their skills with you." Several people continued to eat wontons on the street. At noon, Wan Xinrong came to visit. This was a short and thin middle-aged man with a small moustache. He was wearing clothes made of fine fabric, but they were not Taoist robes, and he probably did not come from a Taoist temple. Lin Jue and his junior sister both stood up to greet them. "Master Lin, I have long admired you." Wan Xinrong bowed to him and smiled with narrowed eyes. "I have long heard that Master Lin has great skills and outstanding virtues, and I have long wanted to come and visit you."
"We have also heard of Fellow Daoist Wan's name, but it seems that Fellow Daoist Wan was not in the capital a few days ago, so we couldn't see him until today." Lin Jue said. "Friend Wan, I'm honored." The junior sister saluted. "You're polite, you're polite." Wan Xinrong took a closer look at the junior sister and thought that this Taoist friend was quite pretty, but he didn't dare to look at her for too long. Then he said, "Some time ago, there was a lot of ghosts in Qinzhou. I accepted the request of the Ministry of Rites to go out and exorcise ghosts. I just came back before the New Year. In addition, I took in a new concubine, so I haven't been out for a few days. Haha, blame me, blame me. I should have come to pay my respects to the two masters earlier." "Daoyou is a man of sentimental character." Lin Jue knew the current trend in the capital. It would be fine if the people who came to Juxian Mansion were not originally from Taoism or Buddhism, but if they were originally gangsters, few of them could control themselves when they suddenly became rich. What's more, some pleasures are not harmful to others and there is really no need to "control" them. "Where are you getting rid of ghosts, Taoist friend?" "Two hundred miles east, a small place." "Fellow Daoist, you really have great abilities!" “No, no, I don’t know many magic spells. I am far worse than Master Lin.” Wan Xinrong sighed. Lin Jue didn't like this kind of courtesy, and when he heard it, he said: "I heard that you practiced the Five Elements Spiritual Method, which is most commonly practiced by wanderers in the martial arts world. We practiced the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method, and have always been very interested in the Five Elements Spiritual Method. It just so happens that we have several spells that are very compatible with the Five Elements Spiritual Method. If you are interested, why not learn from each other?" Wan Xinrong was a little surprised when he heard this. He was a man of great courage and generosity, but after coming to the capital, he got used to the behavior of some of the literati in the capital. If you have something to say, you must not just say it, and if you want something, you must not speak out. According to this habit, you should chat a few more sentences until noon, then have lunch together, and continue chatting after lunch. During the chat, you must not mention this matter at all. You should wait until you are familiar with each other, and then choose a suitable opportunity to talk about it naturally. Then speak naturally, and both parties should pretend that they had not known about it before and just happened to get along well. This is the best way. In a trance, I seemed to be back in the world of martial arts. I vaguely felt that perhaps this was just what the famous Taoist masters did. Wan Xinrong couldn't help but turn his head to look at Master Fan who was sitting next to him. Seeing that Master Fan was sitting still and drinking tea by himself, he was distracted for a moment and then sat up straight. "Although Wan is not the only one who knows the Five Elements Spiritual Law in Juxian Mansion, this is also the skill that Wan needs to make a living. After all, as the saying goes, the law should not be passed on lightly." Wan Xinrong said, "Perhaps the two masters have great magical powers and have no shortage of this method, but since we can benefit from each other, I wonder what magic you can give to Wan that is suitable for Wan?" "..." Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other. The principle that Dharma should not be passed on lightly has existed since ancient times, but it has only become more popular in the past few hundred years. On the contrary, in ancient times, there were many stories of immortals and monsters passing on Dharma, and at most the recipients would be selected and tested, which shows that this was a very common thing. Wasn’t the founder of Fuqiu Temple also taught by immortals? Lin Jue speculated that it might be because the Nine Heavens Spirits suppressed the Lingfa School and promoted such ideas. After the Lingfa School declined, there were more people who cheated and lacked skills, so they loved to hide their fakeness and cherish their own things, thus falling into a cycle. Sitting here now, thinking for a while. "We do know the great way of Yin and Yang, but you can't use it." Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I heard that you can spit flames. I think it's a natural skill after practicing the Five Elements Spiritual Technique. What you spit should be ordinary fire, right? It just so happens that I have a Five Elements Fire Technique that can produce spiritual fire. If it is combined with the Five Elements Spiritual Technique, it will be even more ferocious. If you cultivate it to a great power, burning down cities and destroying countries is a piece of cake." As he spoke, he pointed his finger and spiritual fire emanated. The flame was blazing, flashing across the house. Even though it was still freezing cold on New Year's Day, the house suddenly became much warmer. "..."
Wan Xinrong held his breath for a short while. The words "burning cities and destroying nations" made his heart beat faster, and the fleeting flash of blazing fire made him see the power of orthodox magic. But he soon reacted. All roads in the world naturally lead to the Great Dao. Even if one does not learn any magic, can one still become an immortal? But how many people in the world can go that far? "Master, please don't try to make light of me. I don't have the talent. Even if I learn it, I'll just be a little demon or ghost." Wan Xinrong said, "Is there anyone more powerful?" "It's not to clean up, but to talk frankly. For example, we have a solar spiritual fire here, which is the nemesis of evil compared to ordinary fire methods. However, it is not suitable for you, so I won't use it." Lin Jue said to him very frankly, "If you feel it is not enough, I have a mountain pressing down on the top. Once it is performed, the weight of the mountain can be pressed on the opponent. At the least, the opponent will be pressed to the ground and unable to move. At the worst, the opponent will be crushed into meat paste on the spot. It is also suitable for the five elements spiritual method. You are quite talented in the way of the five elements. If you specialize in one, you may be able to reach a high level." After finishing his words, he raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, then put the cup on the table and reached out. Plop! The teacup on the table seemed to be held down by an invisible force and broke into pieces. Even the wooden table creaked, as if it could not hold on any longer. Master Fan, who was standing next to him, drank tea from his cup, silently surprised. Wan Xinrong was even more shocked, wondering how many magic spells this immortal knew. For example, most of the strange people in Juxian Mansion are fakes who don't even know any magic. Maybe they are born with different physiques, have disabilities, can deal with demons and ghosts, or are brave. They may be recruited into Juxian Mansion because of their reputation in the local area. Even if these small fish are excluded, many of the real strange people and masters in Juxian Mansion only have one skill. Anything more than the same is considered very rare. In his eyes at this moment, the man sitting here, wearing a Taoist robe and drinking tea, and speaking several magic spells, even gave him the feeling of a god preaching in folk tales. Wan Xinrong was a little surprised and almost didn't dare to bargain. But he obviously didn't want to miss such an opportunity. "Real person..." "how?" "Master, do you have the magic to turn stone into gold?" Wan Xinrong looked at Lin Jue tentatively. "Haha! Most of the magic we know are for exorcising demons and monsters. We can't turn stone into gold. We do have a magic that can turn stone into silver, but it's just an illusion, it's fake." Lin Jue glanced at him and said with a smile, "This method emphasizes the mystery of yin and yang, so it's inconvenient to pass it on to you, fellow Taoist." "I also have a fossilization technique that can turn myself into stone and make me impervious to swords and knives. When I reach a high level of skill, I can conceal my aura and become no different from ordinary stones on the mountains." This is what the junior sister said. And when she stretched out her hand, it instantly turned into stone. After a flash, it changed back. "Fellow Daoist, remember, we should talk to each other frankly and sincerely, and must not be greedy or calculating." Lin Jue reminded with a smile. "This……" Wan Xinrong secretly glanced at Master Fan again. Master Fan was holding a teacup. The tea in the cup was very cool, but he seemed to like it very much. He stared at the tea and nodded continuously. "Okay! Thank you both for your teachings!" Wan Xinrong said without hesitation, reaching into his arms and pulling out a very old book. "When I was young, I met an old Taoist priest under a roadside tree. The old Taoist priest looked exhausted and was taking shelter under the tree in the hot summer. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a bucket of water and a steamed bun. He gave me this book as a thank you. It's a bit emotional to say that I am rich and powerful now, but it's all because of a thought I had when I was young." "This is a good thought that will be rewarded with good results."
"I'll give it to you two masters for reference. Please don't spread it around or damage it. Please return it to me after reading it." Wan Xinrong said, "I know it by heart, but for things like this, I always want to keep a souvenir." "rest assured." Lin Jue reached out to take it, and when he looked down, he saw that the ancient book had turned yellow, and there were four big characters "Five Elements Annotations" on the dirty cover. The junior sister took out a book. "We haven't written out the Fossilization and Fire Spells yet. For now, we only have this book, Mountain Pressure. Fellow Daoist Wan can take it and copy it first. I will write out the remaining two as soon as possible." The little sister also said, "Please be careful when copying, don't damage it, and don't get it stained. I also want to keep this book as a souvenir." This booklet "The Mountain Presses Down" was one of the several booklets she had asked Lin Jue for, and she had already learned it a long time ago. The reason she asked for it was that she wanted to keep it as a souvenir. After all, the other senior brothers have it, so she needs one too. "I know, I know." Wan Xinrong took the booklet. He was a little worried at first because there was only one subject. However, when he thought about the matter of Master Lin and Fellow Taoist Tao, and Master Fan who was sitting next to him, he felt relieved. Lin Jue thus obtained the Five Elements spiritual method. It is hard to say which one will gain more and which one will lose out if you exchange three magic spells for one spiritual practice. It's just that both parties have different confidences and needs. If they are satisfied, there is no need to worry about it. Anyway, for Lin Jue, this was the smallest of the several major events that took place since he came to the capital. Not only did he collect another spiritual method, but because my junior sister was already extremely talented in the Five Elements, I taught her several Five Elements spells. With her talent and her persistence in cultivating one path for three years, after she obtained this Five Elements spiritual method, the Five Elements spiritual method and the Five Elements spells, plus her Five Elements talent, complement each other, and her future achievements are limitless. In addition, both he and his second senior brother can make elixirs, and there are methods to prolong life in the art of alchemy. As long as the junior sister does not make any mistakes, if she succeeds, she will become a Five Elements Immortal who is good at fighting. Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief. On the contrary, the junior sister sat next to him, with a serious expression, eyes flickering, and a lot of thoughts in her mind. (End of this chapter)
