"Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest first.”Elder Gongsun did not say much about this matter. Instead, he asked Tang Jie to go back and rest.
"Yes, then this disciple will take his leave first." Tang Jie nodded and left.
"Sigh…I only have three years left to live.”
Elder Gongsun sighed helplessly as he watched Tang Jie leave.
What Elder Gongsun didn't say was that he was seriously injured and had only three years left to live. This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to take in a disciple. With a disciple to pass on his skills, after he died, the last traces left in the world wouldn't disappear.
Elder Gongsun had lived for hundreds of years and was not a coward. However, he was defeated by a powerful enemy that day, but he could not fight him again. He could only watch as the distance between him and the enemy grew further and further. This made Elder Gongsun feel unwilling.
Tang Jie then fell into a busy period of time. During the day, he practiced the Wave Stacking Saber Technique with Elder Gongsun, and at night, he practiced the Art of the Origin.
Tang Jie's progress in the Wave Stacking Saber Technique was considered fast, but he hadn't entered the state of enlightenment in a short time, so he was still quite far away from the great success or even perfection.
As for the cultivation of the Art of the Origin, there was no progress at all. If it was two kinds of Genuine Qi, it would be easy to fuse them with the Art of the Origin. However, it would be more difficult to fuse three kinds of Genuine Qi. Tang Jie had four kinds of Genuine Qi, so it was very difficult to fuse them!
Even after half a month, Tang Jie still failed to successfully fuse the four types of zhenqi. In fact, he almost made a mistake in the middle and caused the four types of zhenqi to riot.
"Fusing four types of zhenqi is indeed very difficult…I know an expert. Go find him and tell him your identity. He should be able to help you. As for whether you can cultivate the Art of the Origin, it will depend on your own luck.”
On this day, Elder Gongsun also learned that Tang Jie's cultivation of the Art of the Origin was difficult to progress, so he said.
"An expert?"
Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, this person is the abbot of the Great Green Mountain Temple in the northern part of Lingnan, Master Duzhen.”
Elder Gongsun revealed this person's identity.
"Daqingshan Temple? Master Duzhen?"
Tang Jie had never heard of these two names, but Elder Gongsun said that Master Du Zhen might be able to help him, so he had to go and take a look!
In order to cultivate the Art of the Origin as soon as possible, Tang Jie did not hesitate. The next morning, he left the mountain and set off for the Great Qingshan Temple.
The weather was hot and dry, and Tang Jie was hurrying along under the scorching sun.
After traveling for four to five days, Tang Jie finally arrived at his destination.
Daqingshan Temple was located on a green mountain with clear mountains and clear waters. From the foot of the mountain, an ancient temple was hidden among the trees, and smoke rose from the chimneys.
Along the way, Tang Jie also saw many pedestrians on the mountain road. There was no lack of rich and noble children dressed in brocade and jade clothes. They must have gone to Daqing Mountain Temple to offer incense and pray to Buddha.
Tang Jie came to the outside of Daqing Mountain Temple. At the entrance of Daqing Mountain Temple, there were two novice monks guarding the door. They looked strong and had martial arts skills, but they were not strong. They were at most at the third or fourth level of body tempering.
Tang Jie took a step forward and expressed his intention."My name is Tang Jie, my master is Gongsun Yan from Eastern Cloud Sect, I've come to see Grandmaster Duzhen.”
"Eastern Cloud Sect? Gongsun Yan?"
The two novice monks looked at each other. They had never heard of Gongsun Yan, but they knew of Eastern Cloud Sect. Moreover, from the looks of it, they might really know Master Duzhen.
Immediately, a novice monk did not dare to be negligent and said,"Patron, please wait a moment. I'll inform the abbot.”
"Yes."
Tang Jie nodded and waited patiently.
Not long after, the novice monk returned and became even more respectful."The abbot wants to see you. Please come with me.”
Tang Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Master Du Zhen really knew Elder Gongsun.
Under the guidance of the novice monk, Tang Jie soon arrived at a quiet and simple room. Inside the room, an old white-browed monk sat quietly. His face was kind and he had the feeling of an accomplished monk.
This person was the abbot of the Great Green Mountain Monastery, Master Duzhen.
After bringing Tang Jie in, the novice monk left, leaving only Tang Jie and Master Du Zhen in the room.
"Are you the disciple of Almsgiver Gongsun Yan? How is his body now?"
Master Du Zhen said kindly when he saw Tang Jie.
Gongsun Yan was naturally Elder Gongsun.
"My master's body is still the same." Tang Jie nodded.”
Master Duzhen sighed." Back then, Almsgiver Gongsun fought with Xie Tianxie, the Evil Wind Sword. He fell ill and I couldn't do anything about it."”
"Xie Tianxie?"
Tang Jie was surprised. He knew that Elder Gongsun was seriously injured because he fought with a strong enemy, but he didn't know who it was. He knew the identity of the person who seriously injured Elder Gongsun from Master Duzhen.
Xie Tianxie was an expert from the Evil Sword Sect. His name was known throughout the world, and according to what Tang Jie knew, Xie Tianxie was ranked on the Heaven Roll!
The so-called Heaven Roll recorded the 128 strongest Xiantian Lords, and Xie Tianxie was one of them!
" No wonder Master was heavily injured even with his strength…"
Xie Tianxie could be considered one of the top Xiantian Realm warriors. It was not surprising that Elder Gongsun was defeated by him.
Just as Tang Jie was thinking, Master Du Zhen said,"Benefactor Tang, is there something you need?”
Tang Jie came back to his senses. He nodded and said,"Yes, I have many strands of true qi in my body and it's hard to merge them. Master told me that you can help me.”
"It seems that Almsgiver Gongsun wants me to help you with Marrow Cleansing Scripture." Master Duzhen smiled.”
"Marrow Cleansing Scroll?" Hearing this, Tang Jie's heart moved.
Tang Jie had heard of the famous Marrow Cleansing Scripture.
Marrow Cleansing was a very mysterious martial art. It was not a martial art that increased one's combat strength. Instead, it had the effect of changing one's tendons, cleansing one's marrow, and enlightening one's wisdom. It was said that in order to master Marrow Cleansing, one had to have extremely profound Buddhist attainments!
This Master Duzhen was an accomplished monk and had mastered Marrow Cleansing.
"The reason why Master asked me to come here is to ask Master Ren Zhen to help me with Marrow Cleansing!”Tang Jie also understood Elder Gongsun's plan.
Tang Jie couldn't merge the four strands of zhen qi, but if Master Du Zhen was willing to help, then the chance would be much greater.
