After Ning Bufan explained to Yang Yu, he saw Yang Yu's face full of yearning and couldn't help but feel happy. Knowing that Yang Yu's interest in cultivation had been aroused, he began to introduce the Huashan Sect.
"Our Huashan Sect inherited the teachings of the Quanzhen Sect's Primordial Immortal Hao Taigu. We inherited many Daoist classics, including some records of the ancient pre-Qin period.”
"Before the Qin Dynasty, there were Qi Refinement Warriors. At that time, it was roughly divided into five realms: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation.”
"Qi cultivation and cultivation, seeking longevity. Foundation Establishment can give you a lifespan of more than 150 years, and Golden Core stage has a lifespan of 500 years. The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator was at least a thousand years.”
Ning Bufan talked about cultivation, his face full of yearning. However, his expression did not last for a few breaths before he hurriedly changed his expression and continued to speak to Yang Yu with a serious expression.
"However, since ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gradually disappeared. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures have become increasingly scarce, and demons and ghosts have almost disappeared. Dao techniques were also difficult to cultivate, so they were not obvious.”
"Therefore, in today's world, the main cultivation of martial arts is divided into nine realms: unranked, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, Houtian, Xiantian grandmaster, great grandmaster, true person, and celestial.”
"The lifespan of martial artists is far inferior to that of Qi Practitioners, but their battle prowess far surpasses that of Qi Practitioners. As for lifespan, for martial artists, Xiantian grandmasters were equivalent to Qi Cultivating Foundation Establishment, and Jindan realm was equivalent to True Human Realm. The Heaven Tier has already become extinct."
Hearing this, Yang Yu couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression. However, the desire for the Tao technique still occupied the peak in his heart, so he asked Ning Bufan with some expectations.
"Then are there still people who cultivate the Dao now?”
"There are still some, but not many. Nowadays, most of the cultivators were only at the Qi Cultivation stage. They could not even defeat Houtian martial artists, resulting in fewer and fewer cultivators.”
"At present, there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world. That is, martial arts practitioners are not allowed to use force against cultivators. Otherwise, all the martial artists in the world, regardless of good or evil, will be killed together.”Ning Bufan said.
"Why?" Yang Yu asked in confusion.
"Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually depleting in this world, there is still some left. Therefore, there were still a small number of demons, ghosts, zombies, and walking corpses in this world.”
"Other than Xiantian experts, it's very difficult for other martial artists to kill them. However, cultivators could easily kill them. Therefore, all the sects in the world had a rule that as long as there were demons, there would be no end to cultivation.”Ning Bufan said.
"I wonder if you are willing to join my Mount Hua Daoist School? Coincidentally, I am the Sect Master of Mount Hua." Ning Bufan asked.
"Then, can I still practice martial arts after cultivating the Dao technique?”Yang Yu asked worriedly.
"Of course, it's possible. Dao techniques are the main focus, and it's not impossible to cultivate both Dao and martial arts. Only that it would be much more difficult." Ning Bufan said.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm not afraid of difficulties. I'm willing to join the Huashan Sect. From today onwards, I, Yang Yu, am a member of the Huashan Sect. The sect master received a bow from his disciple.”Yang Yu was overjoyed.
Ning Bufan was overjoyed when he saw Yang Yu agree to join Mount Hua. He thought to himself that the Huadao Sect finally had a new successor, and he could be considered to have completed Mount Hua's orthodoxy.
"No, no, Brother Yang. The Dao Technique lineage has the same status as our Martial Cultivation lineage. Today, I will take in disciples on behalf of the teacher. From today onwards, you and I will address each other as fellow disciples. When we return to the mountain gate, I will hold the entrance ceremony for Shidi. I'll inform the ancestor of Mount Hua." Ning Bufan said.
Yang Yu was stunned when he heard Ning Bufan's words. He had thought that Ning Bufan would accept him as a disciple, but he had not expected that Ning Bufan would accept him as a disciple on behalf of his master and let him inherit the Mount Hua Daoist mantras. Since then, he had become Ning Bufan's junior brother.
"Junior apprentice-brother, you haven't stepped into the path of cultivation yet. I'm still not clear about the decline of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, so I'll give you a general explanation on the way. After returning to the sect, he could read the books in the sect to understand the Dao.”Ning Bufan said as he walked.
"According to records, there were several Golden Cores in the Qin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were only Perfected Cultivators and Great Grandmasters. There were almost no Golden Core Cultivators. In the Song Dynasty, grandmasters and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were the limit.”
"At the end of the Song Dynasty, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was passable, but the Song Dynasty was tyrannical and poorly managed. As a result, the people of the world were in dire straits, and evil spirits were rampant. There were even wild beasts in the mountains and forests that could communicate with the spirit and eat people.”Ning Bufan sighed.
"When our Great Ming was just established, two talented people, Daoist Zhang and Liu Bowen, broke through to the True Human Realm. The two of them protected the world from the increasingly powerful demons. He gathered nearly a hundred grandmasters from all over the world to go to Kunlun and cut off the Kunlun dragon vein. Only then could the evil be eliminated and the world be at peace.”
"After slaying the dragon, all the spiritual veins in the world will be destroyed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be unable to gather. Demons had no food, and beast spirits had no roots. It took another hundred years for the demon disaster to be completely eliminated and the world to be settled.”
"The second generation Patriarch of Mount Hua is also one of the main forces of the Dragon Slaying Dao. Therefore, these ancient secrets are recorded in the ancient books of Mount Hua.”Ning Bufan said proudly.
As Yang Yu listened to Ning Bufan's introduction, he suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he was awakened by a tremor at the bottom of the Heaven Lake of Kunlun. After that, he often felt hungry. It seemed that this was caused by Liu Bowen's Dragon Slaying. He could not help but feel depressed.
"I see that Shidi only has internal strength but has no way to activate it, nor does he have any moves to coordinate with, so he can't unleash his strength. I can teach you some martial arts moves along the way.”
Ning Bufan saw that Yang Yu was silent and thought that he was shocked by this legendary story. He was a little proud of himself.
"In that case, I'll have to thank you, senior brother."
When Yang Yu heard Ning Bufan's words, he immediately bowed down.
"Good! Good! Good! Junior Brother, you're too polite. We're both disciples of Mount Hua. From now on, we are a family. There's no need to thank me. I only hope that after junior brother's cultivation has reached a certain level, he will take on the responsibility of bringing glory to Mount Hua.”Ning Bufan was overjoyed and couldn't help but say.
Two people all the way south, the road met a town, Ning Bufan will invest to buy horses. The two of them had horses to travel, so they were naturally much faster. Along the way, Ning Bufan began to teach Yang Yu martial arts. He began to explain the basic knowledge of martial arts and the basic skills such as horse stance.
As they traveled south along the official road, they reached the territory of Ba Shu. There were many villages along the road. There were also relay stations near these villages that they could stay in.
The bumpy dirt road was quite a challenge for Yang Yu, who had never ridden a horse before. Although the horse was docile, he could only sit steadily on the saddle and barely not fall off.
In order to take care of Yang Yu, Ning Bufan taught Yang Yu how to ride a horse while walking along the road. Naturally, the journey was not fast, so the relay station became the best place for the two to rest.
That day, the two of them continued on their journey. When the sky was almost dusk, the outline of a small town came into view. There was a stone tablet erected at the entrance of the town with the words Qingchuan carved on it.
"Junior Brother, let's rest in Qingchuan Town tonight.”Ning Bufan said to Yang Yu.
The exhausted Yang Yu naturally wouldn't refuse. With that, the two of them rode into the town. Qingchuan was only a small town with a small population. There were only a few inns used to entertain business travelers, as well as some grocery stores and medicine stores. One could see the end of a street at a glance.
The two of them didn't ride far before they saw a rather large-scale inn. The sky was getting dark, and the two of them needed to find a place to stay. So he got off the horse and led it to the inn.
As soon as they arrived at the door, a waiter came up to them. He took the reins from Lu Li's hands skillfully and then welcomed Yang Yu and Ning Bufan into the shop with a big smile.
"Dear guests, are you going to dine or stay?”The waiter asked Ning Bufan.
"Of course it's a hotel. Is there a room? Prepare two rooms for us." Ning Bufan looked at the guests in the inn and didn't see anything unusual, so he said to the waiter.
"Yes, yes, yes. Taoist masters, what a coincidence. There are two rooms left in this shop. Please come in.”The waiter happily replied to Ning Bufan. After he finished speaking, he welcomed the two of them into the shop and shouted at the shopkeeper,"Yes, there are two rooms in the upper room."
