"Inner Core Breathing Technique?"
Sun Cheng read out these words!
He had guessed from the beginning that his principled second uncle would not teach him the orthodox Taoist techniques of Mao Mountain.
However, when he saw what he had taken out for himself, Sun Cheng still felt dejected.
Second Granduncle patiently explained to him,"Sun brat, the Maoshan orthodoxy can't be easily passed on to outsiders. Even Zhu Dachang, that rascal, I've only taught him a little bit of martial arts and breathing techniques over the years. Before the talisman was given, how could one easily pass down a Dao technique?”
Sun Cheng's mood improved a little. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly asked,"Second Granduncle, what is the origin of this Inner Core Breathing Technique?”
"I accidentally obtained this Inner Core Breathing Technique when I was traveling around the world with Master in my early years. Although he didn't know where it came from, there was no problem with it.”
Zhu Dachang brought a stool over. Second Great Uncle was almost ninety years old. He sat down with Sun Cheng's help and continued to guide him.
"The cultivation method of the inner core is quite common in the north. It belongs to the Quan Zhen Sect. It requires a calm and painstaking cultivation. It takes decades to achieve success, so it is more suitable for the Quan Zhen Daoist.”
"In the south, although we also have Quanzhen Dao, most of the rogue cultivators are Huoju Daoists. Therefore, the Zhengyi lineage, which mainly cultivated talismans, was the majority, while the Quanzhen lineage was less than 50%.”
"Although the breathing technique I gave you is incomplete and only has the heart chant and body tempering for cultivating the inner core, it's not impossible for you to break through to my current spirit refinement realm in the future if you cultivate it diligently!”
Sun Cheng was not unfamiliar with the many Taoist terms that came out of Second Uncle's mouth.
In the past six years, he knew that there were demons and ghosts in this world.
Even the messengers of death naturally bought many classics to read.
Sun Cheng didn't like Buddhism's numerous doctrines and extravagance, so he only bought some Taoist classics.
After studying for a few years, he had learned a lot.
In layman's terms, the Quanzhen Sect was like Buddhism, focusing on the secluding of the world.
They had strict precepts and rules, and their disciples had to accept the precepts and become monks to avoid the world and cultivate.
The only difference between this line of disciples and monks was that they could still keep their hair.
Its representative was the Quanzhen Sect. There were a large number of Daoist branches in the north and south of Xia Country.
As for Righteous One, it originated from the Five Buckets of Rice Path, and was mainly comprised of Righteous One Sect, Jiangnan Pavilion's Black Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Mao Mountain.
Although this lineage had also formulated various precepts and regulations, there were also many Taoist priests who had become monks and practiced in seclusion.
However, the Zhengyi lineage did not force its disciples to become seclusive before they could cultivate.
In the Righteous Sect, there were not many restrictions on the disciples who did not become monks, except for a few types of meat that they could not touch.
They were known as Huoju Daoists and could even marry and have children.
Second Great Uncle belonged to this category, but he was born with incomplete body functions, so he did not marry.
The term " cultivating the spirit " was also a Taoist term. It was said that it was also one of the realms used by Taoist cultivators.
In the Daoist classics, from the elementary level to the advanced level, there were a total of four cultivation stages, a total of eight minor realms.
They were respectively transforming into qi, transforming into qi into spirit, transforming spirit into nothingness, and transforming into dao.
The spirit cultivation mentioned by Second Uncle was the third cultivation stage of Daoism and also the fifth realm.
Sun Cheng was about to continue asking, but Second Uncle had already lost his patience and waved his hand to chase him away.
"You can go, Sun Family brat. You and I are not fated to be together. If it weren't for the fact that you have the heart to follow the Tao and have accumulated a lot of Karma points, I wouldn't have broken the precepts to teach you these. Let's go…Don't bother me again!”
Seeing his firm attitude, Sun Cheng felt a little regretful, but he still knelt down and kowtowed three times.
This time, Second Granduncle did not avoid it and took it all.
"Then, Second Uncle, I'll leave first.”
"Go, go…Sigh, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse…"
With that, he shook his head with his hands behind his back and walked into the hall with a hunched back.
Sun Cheng took the Inner Core Breathing Technique and left the Bliss after bidding farewell to Zhu Dachang.
He did not return to the grain store. Instead, he went straight to the outskirts of the town, to a somewhat dilapidated old courtyard.
This old courtyard was Sun Cheng's home when he first transmigrated to this world. It was a dilapidated house with a courtyard located in the suburbs of the town.
Xiao Yun's family originally lived nearby, but at the end of the year before last, he had just bought a new residence in town for his future father-in-law's family.
Now that Xiao Yun's entire family had moved there, it was a quiet place.
It was obvious that Xiao Yun often came back to clean her house. Even Sun Cheng's old house was not very dusty.
He was not particular and locked the door the moment he entered the room.
He bent his knees and sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. He could not wait to read the Inner Core Breathing Technique that Zhu Zhengren had given him.
Sun Cheng had been waiting for this day for a full six years.
Ever since he transmigrated to this world and realized that there were ghosts and demons in this world, he had been looking for an expert everywhere, hoping to become his disciple.
In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed, and Sun Cheng had been willing to spend money to find a few for him.
For example, in the fight between ghosts, Immortal Qian, who was very greedy and had amazing Taoist skills of Maoshan, and his righteous junior brother, Immortal Chen.
For example, among the scaring people, Daoist techniques were even more unpredictable. Not only could they help ghosts possess and take away their bodies, but they could also help their second granduncle change his fate from the hands of the underworld.
As for more cultivators, Sun Cheng had yet to find them.
After all, in the six years after he transmigrated to this world, the furthest place he had been to was the county town of Kang County County, which was less than a hundred miles away from Shangxiang Town.
He had visited the three people whom Sun Cheng had confirmed to be cultivators in the past few years.
The greedy Immortal Qian was still okay. Although he had asked for an exorbitant price of 10,000 silver coins as a disciple gift, he did not explicitly refuse Sun Cheng's request to acknowledge him as his master.
It was just that this person's reputation was not very good. Sun Cheng was worried that after he exposed his rich family background, he would be schemed against by Immortal Qian, who had evil intentions and was good at Maoshan Arts. That was why he was not in a hurry to take him as his master.
After being repeatedly rejected by his second uncle, Sun Cheng once had ideas about Perfected Qian's upright junior brother, Perfected Chen.
He asked someone to search the surrounding villages for him, and only found Zhenren Chen in a mortuary more than twenty miles away.
Then, Sun Cheng came to the door with a heavy gift, hoping to take him as his master.
However, the strictness of the cultivators in this era taught him another lesson.
After getting Sun Cheng's birth characters, Perfected Chen did a divination for him.
Then, he bluntly said that Sun Cheng did not meet Mao Mountain's standards and rejected him.
After that, it was as if he was trying to avoid Sun Cheng.
No matter when he went to the mortuary, he could never see Zhenren Chen.
After a while, Sun Cheng gradually lost his thoughts and began to focus on tackling the problem. He could barely be considered as his second granduncle who was related to him.
In the blink of an eye, six years had passed.
Until today, Sun Cheng finally got what he wanted.
