Chapter 3 Huang Ting Dao Theory

After Zhang Zhixuan finished his practice, he hastily said goodbye to his seventeenth uncle Zhang Menglan and returned to his cave.

He slowly opened a protective formation to isolate the cave, then gently took out a yellowed book from his arms, with a bitter smile on his face.

"I have been stranded in this world for sixteen years, and finally I have a little understanding of this world. When can I return to my hometown?

I guess it depends on this mysterious Taoist book." Zhang Zhixuan thought secretly in his heart.

Although Zhang Zhixuan has lived in this world for sixteen years, the soul in his body comes from Earth.

More than ten years ago, when he was still on Earth, he bought an old book in the second-hand book market. He was reading it with relish at night. After meditating all night, his soul traveled to this world and possessed this little baby.

Six years later, his memory gradually began to recover, and soon he found that this Taoist book also came to this world with him.

The name of this book is "Huangting Daolun", which seems to be written by a Taoist master, and it talks about the subtle meaning of Taoism.

Even though Zhang Zhixuan had read this book for more than ten years, he did not know much about the contents of the book.

However, after reading this book for many years, Zhang Zhixuan found that his memory was getting better and better, his comprehension ability was getting higher and higher, and even his comprehension had increased.

According to the estimation of the elders in the family, he was only a cultivator with three spiritual roots, and it was impossible for him to practice so fast.

But he had studied this book for many years. Although this Taoist book did not bring him magical powers, he relied on his increasingly better comprehension and years of hard and self-disciplined practice. His progress in practice was rapid. Even a cultivator with two spiritual roots could not practice to the sixth level of Qi training at his age.

The cultivators with two spiritual roots in general large sects practiced to the sixth level of Qi training at the age of about twenty. Compared with them, Zhang Zhixuan was undoubtedly one step ahead.

Relying on his wisdom, he not only practiced earlier than others, but also practiced more hard and self-disciplined than ordinary children.

After more than ten years, he has been ahead of cultivators with the same spiritual roots for more than ten years.

The Zhang family of Lushan is the largest immortal cultivation family near Lushan. Starting from the ancestor Zhang Tairen, the family has been passed down in an orderly manner for more than 400 years.

400 years ago, the Zhang family settled in Lushan. After hundreds of years of operation, the Zhang family now has one cultivator in the foundation-building stage, more than 100 innate and Qi-training cultivators, and 30,000 to 40,000 ordinary clansmen.

According to the family tree, there are 12 generations of cultivators in the Zhang family, ranked in order from Taichu Le Meng, Zhisi Tongyuan, and Guangsheng Zemao.

Among them, the second generation of Taichu cultivators have completely passed away.

The number of cultivators of the Le generation is the smallest, and most of them have also passed away. Now only three people survive.

Except for the clan leader who has an extraordinary cultivation and has already established a foundation, the other two have long been old and are now living outside the mountain.

The Meng generation cultivators are the backbone of the family, with more than 30 people in total, most of whom are already in the middle and late stages of Qi training.

The Zhi generation has the largest number of cultivators, about more than 40 people. Most of them have low cultivation and are not very old. The oldest is only over 50 years old. Many of them have not yet broken through the Qi training stage and are stuck in the Xiantian stage.

The Si generation has even fewer cultivators, only 18 now. The oldest is only 23 years old, and the one with the highest cultivation has not broken through the ninth level of the Xiantian stage.

This generation of cultivators has not yet discovered talents with outstanding qualifications, and has almost no say among the family cultivators.

The Taoist book in Zhang Zhixuan's hand is called "Huangting Daolun", and only he can read it.

In the eyes of others, this Taoist book is just a big purple jade plate, and the runes on it are so mysterious that they cannot be recognized at all.

Because of this reason, when his father discovered this mysterious Taoist book, he believed that his son was born with supernatural powers and was the reincarnation of a high-level cultivator.

From then on, he no longer regarded him as an ordinary child, but carefully cultivated him and guided him to read and write, meditate and practice.

After discovering this mysterious jade plate, Zhang Zhixuan's father did not make it public, nor did he tell other cultivators in the family.

Because of this mysterious jade token, he was named Zhang Zhixuan.

And the book "Huangting Daolun" that brought him across the world for unknown reasons also gradually showed some strange colors.

After he entered the Qi training stage, he finally understood the first spell of Qi Yunshu from it.

This is a spell of nourishing Qi, which can refine the morning sun purple Qi, and use it to warm the Dantian of the physical body, dissolve the violent magic power in the body, and reduce the risk of going astray.

In addition to practicing this spell called Yunqishu, Zhang Zhixuan has also practiced three spells in recent years.

These three spells are light body spell, fixed body spell, and golden needle spell.

In the Xiantian stage, because the cultivator has not yet refined the spiritual energy, he cannot practice any spells.

In the Xiantian stage, except for the advantages of tough physical body, strong strength, sharp ears and eyes, and quick thinking, which are superior to ordinary people, the cultivator is not much better than ordinary people.

If a mortal wears sharp armor and holds a crossbow, as long as dozens of armored soldiers come forward together, they can defeat ordinary innate cultivators.

When a cultivator reaches the Qi training stage, because the meridians of the whole body have been opened, they can refine spiritual power, learn spells, and control magic tools and spirit talismans.

At this point, the ability of the cultivator is extraordinary. Even thousands of troops often have no way to deal with the cultivator.

The spiritual consciousness of the cultivator in the Qi training stage has not yet been transformed, and the magic power is still relatively weak, and there are few spells that can be learned.

A cultivator at the first level of Qi training can only learn one spell. With each additional level of cultivation, he can learn one more spell.

Zhang Zhixuan has now reached the sixth level of Qi training, reaching the peak of the middle stage of Qi training. He could have learned six magic spells.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhixuan has been focusing on improving his skills over the years and has only learned three magic spells.

Compared with middle-aged and elderly cultivators of the same level, Zhang Zhixuan has some gaps in experience, magic spells, magic tools, and magic talismans. If he fights with others outside the mountain, he may not be able to protect himself.

"This time, when I go out of the mountain to complete the family mission, I will try to choose a place close to the mountain gate.

First, I must get familiar with the world of immortal cultivation outside the mountain and try to accumulate as much experience as possible.

Second, I must go down the mountain to find out the cause of my father's death, avenge him as soon as possible, and fulfill my wish for many years.

Third, although I am not spiritual enough and my cultivation is slow after going down the mountain, I must also lay a solid foundation and learn a few magic spells to lay a good foundation for future cultivation and make up for my shortcomings." Zhang Zhixuan closed the Taoist book and thought secretly in his heart.

He slowly moved the spiritual energy, circulated it through twelve cycles, warmed up his acupoints, stabilized his cultivation, then opened the cave and headed towards the top of the mountain.
