Chapter 14 Necessary conditions for cultivation
It turns out that there really is a secret book of immortality left by the immortal master Lin Tian. Taizu was not mistaken at that time and could not find it.
From this point of view, God’s will plays tricks on people.
Zhang Fulong continued: "Being a cultivator requires you to meet one condition, and it is the only condition. Without this prerequisite, even if you get the Qi refining insights left by your ancestor Lin Tian, it will be in vain."
"What is the only condition for you to dare to ask friends?"
This question was not asked by the emperor, but by the national preceptor. Of course, the emperor also wanted to know the answer.
"The only condition for becoming a cultivator is to have spiritual roots. Only those with spiritual roots can breathe out spiritual energy for cultivation."
Zhang Fulong explained that this was the secret of heaven and earth that he understood after seeing the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation.
"Spiritual roots..."
The emperor was murmuring to himself, is it really so difficult to cultivate?
"When the pattern of heaven and earth has not changed, no one will be born with spiritual roots, unless they are like Pindao, who was inherited by their ancestors and received a spiritual root from heaven.
Your Majesty, you don’t need to think too much, everything depends on fate. The promises your ancestors made to you are naturally effective. When the world changes, the descendants of these people will give priority to the birth of spiritual roots. "
Zhang Fulong told the reason why he was able to practice.
What I said so much was just to tell the emperor not to think about pursuing immortality anymore. God's rules are not allowed, so doing so many things is meaningless, and he has been stained with the sin of killing in vain.
Fulong Temple was the best example.
There are emperors who are obsessed with immortality, and there are people in Fulongguan who value books too much, more than their own lives.
Books that cannot be passed down are like useless books and have no meaning in collecting.
If the emperor's methods were not so radical, Fulongguan could spread the book to the world, and he would not have ended up like this.
Also, Zhang Fulong would not tell the emperor that he could refine the longevity pill. The temptation of the longevity pill is too great and it is not good for anyone.
The emperor heard the warning in Zhang Fulong's words and simply said: "Sir, I have learned a lesson."
Zhang Fulong did not accept the emperor's words, but said: "Your Majesty can make a copy of the insights left by our ancestor Lin Tian."
"Hiss~"
The emperor's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that these words came from Zhang Fulong's mouth.
Although they cannot practice without spiritual roots, they can leave behind the foundation to prepare for the future.
When the world changes and spiritual roots are born, while others are still groping, you are already on your way.
If you practice one step quickly, step by step, you will definitely gain more benefits than others.
"What do you want me to do, sir?" the emperor asked. The emperor knew that Zhang Fulong would not give it to him in vain. He must have a bargaining chip. This is a deal.
"Pindao wants to rebuild Fulong Temple at its original location."
Zhang Fulong stated his request. He needed the emperor's help to rebuild Fulong Temple, and he could not do it alone.
When Zhang Fulong made the request, the emperor immediately said: "Even if you don't tell me, I still have this plan. I will personally arrange the reconstruction of Fulong Temple. Please rest assured, sir."
I thought Zhang Fulong would make some special request. In this case, it was just more money, and the emperor agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
As he said that, Zhang Fulong took out a book from his arms, which was the Qi refining insights left by Lin Tian.
There was no sloppiness in handing the book to the emperor.
"Your Majesty will send someone to return it to Pindao after he has finished copying it."
The emperor took it with both hands and carefully put the book away.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely ask someone to carefully return it to you in good condition. The banquet is about to start. Please come with me, sir."
The emperor personally took Zhang Fulong to the Huangji Palace.
At this time, all the ministers attending the banquet came.
"I have met your Majesty."
Seeing the emperor's arrival, the ministers stood up and saluted him. Then, there was more doubt in the eyes of the ministers.
The ministers saw Zhang Fulong beside the emperor, and they were wondering who this person was and what his identity was. Could this person be a distinguished guest at the emperor's banquet?
"It's an ordinary banquet. My dear friends, no need to be polite. Please get up quickly."
The emperor asked the ministers to stand up, and at the same time introduced Zhang Fulong to them.
"Let me introduce you to all the ministers. This is Zhang Fulong of Fulong Temple, Master Zhang Xian."
Fulongguan Immortal Master?
The ministers were shocked. After so many years, these strange and familiar words appeared before their eyes again.
Now the ministers all understood why the emperor held this banquet. They were here to show off their feelings.
It's just that this immortal master is too young. Could it be that all 'immortals' are immortal in appearance? According to records, the Immortal Master Lin Tian at that time was also extremely young.
"Meet the Immortal Master."
When the reactions came back, the ministers also saluted Zhang Fulong.
"Pindao has met all of you."
Zhang Fulong returned the gift.
The two parties had a brief meeting, and the emperor continued: "Sir, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Fulong thanked him and started looking for a seat.
The position of master must belong to the emperor, there is no doubt about this. Except for the two front and left positions, all other positions have owners.
Zhang Fulong was about to walk to the right position when he saw the Imperial Master taking a step ahead of him and sitting on it.
"???"
Zhang Fulong knew that the Imperial Master definitely did this on purpose.
Throughout the dynasties, the left has always been respected, and the position on the left should belong to the imperial master. However, when the imperial master made such a fuss, he suddenly became the focus of the audience.
Forget it, he is the protagonist of this banquet anyway, so it doesn't matter where he sits.
Zhang Fulong walked to the left and sat down.
After Zhang Fulong sat down, the emperor announced the start of the banquet, and the palace maids presented the fine wine and delicacies one by one, including the roast duck.
After the fine wine and delicacies were presented, the emperor first celebrated with everyone, and then turned to Zhang Fulong.
"Sir, how about trying the roast duck made by the imperial chef?"
Hmm?
Zhang Fulong didn't quite understand what the emperor meant by this sentence. Was he just asking him to taste the roast duck?
Roast duck can appear at the emperor's banquet, which is worthy of being one of the characteristics of Shangjing.
When the ministers heard the emperor's words, they noticed it and couldn't help but wonder when roast duck could be served at the palace banquet.
Could it be that this immortal master of Fulong Temple likes to eat roast duck?
It must be true. Didn't you see the emperor personally ask Zhang Fulong to taste the roast duck in the palace?
All the ministers secretly remembered a sentence, that the immortal master Zhang of Fulong Temple likes to eat roast duck.
Zhang Fulong followed the emperor's instructions and took a bite of the roast duck. He was indeed a royal chef in the palace, and the taste was indeed better than outside the palace.
"It's delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty."
Zhang Fulong gave his own evaluation.
"Haha, sir, you don't have to be polite. Let's toast to you all."
The emperor laughed. The imperial master was really good at judging people. The sir really liked roast duck.
The ministers raised their glasses and drank again. Next came the most popular singing and dancing segment, because the Royal Song and Dance Troupe was also a master.
