Chapter 55 Buried Alive Crisis (Part 2)

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Xuan Qi woke up in a daze.

  "Where on earth am I?"

  Xuan Qi looked carefully in front of him and still wasn't quite clear where he was. After looking carefully, he found himself on his bed at home.

  "What's going on here?"

  Xuan Qi slowly got up, his head splitting with pain. He only knew that he was in the mine preparing to fight against that corpse gate guy, but unexpectedly the other party had caused the mine to collapse.

  The old man's voice echoed faintly, saying: "Youngster, this time you've really made things difficult for me. If it weren't for ten days or half a month, I'm afraid I would have a hard time recovering."

  "What's going on? What happened?" Xuan Qi didn't remember anything that had happened before. He only remembered being buried in the mine.

  What happened afterwards, he completely forgot.

  The old man said gruffly: "What else can happen? Of course, I'll come out to help you clean up. After all, I'm a laborious person, what can I do?"

  At this, Lao Tzu let out a deep sigh.

  At this time, Xuan Qi finally heard Lao Ding say the whole story. It turned out that when the mine collapsed, Lao Ding could only consume his own yuan energy and occupy Xuan Qi's body to start reversing the situation.

  At a critical moment, he rescued Xuán Qí from the mine and brought back Liáng Zǐ Mò's father, Liáng Wěn Gēn.

  During this time, Lao Ding also fought with Jing Dongpeng from the Corpse Gate. Although this blind man was quite capable, he was still much weaker than Lao Ding.

  After realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent, he fled immediately. However, at this time, he had already retrieved Gao Ding Tian and Shi Xiang Jie's souls.

  Lao Ding is still very powerful in "Yanbo Diaosu Tu", but once he comes out, his power greatly decreases, and he can only maintain a strong appearance for a few minutes.

  Even so, Lao Ding helped Xuan Qi drive that guy away, helped him rescue Liang Zimo's father Liang Wengen, and helped them eliminate this memory.

  The old tortoise finished all that and then dragged his tired body back to Xuandi's home, slept for a whole day, and slowly recovered.

  These memories were all told by Xuan Qi and Lao Ding, otherwise he would still be in the dark and completely unclear.

  He thought of Lao Gui silently doing so many things for himself, and he gratefully said: "Fortunately, you helped, thank you very much, Old Turtle."

  The old man waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite to me. If you really want to repay me, then cultivate well and enter the Refining Qi stage as soon as possible!"

  "Alright, I'll work hard!" Upon hearing Lao Ding's words, Xuan Qi nodded.

  For him, the most important goal at present is to improve his cultivation. After that battle in the mine, he found himself still far from it.

  Under such circumstances, Xuán Qǐ naturally hoped to redouble his efforts.

  Lao Ding heard Xuan Qi's words and said, "What is meant by 'effort' is not to stay at home, but to go out. Those who cultivate the Tao value traveling thousands of miles. Only by entering the red dust can one have hope and progress. If one always stays at home to practice asceticism, the effect will be poor instead. So, you must go out appropriately!"

  Xuan Qi is a hardworking and low-key person, with a clever mind. In all aspects, he is more in line with Lao Ding's expectations. Originally, Lao Ding thought that Xuan Qi's innate talent was ordinary, but after observing him for these days, he found that Xuan Qi's actual ability is not bad, and he is a promising young man.

  Xuan Qi's only shortcoming is that he is too reclusive.

  It's probably because of his past life as a house man that Xuan Qi has always had the habit of not liking to go out. This habit, for those who cultivate bitterly, is actually very suitable.

  Enduring loneliness is a temperament that suits the cultivation of profound Taoist classics. However, these do not include the legendary "Gui Long Bian" qigong method.

  The legendary "Gui Long Bian" skill is extremely particular about enlightenment and opportunity. Although bitter practice is important, the most important thing is still to enter the mortal world for training.

  Only through continuous tempering can one possibly reach the legendary Dragon Transformation Realm.

  The first layer of the upper part of "Huanglongbian" is the return to the origin, which focuses on tempering the physical body and eliminating the old to bring forth the new. When the physical body reaches its peak, it can achieve indestructibility like diamond and remain unharmed by all things.

  By then, he could possess the legendary Xuan Jia armor, also known as the Tian Ding war armor.

  To constantly temper the body, one needs to constantly fight and undergo trials. Only through constant trials and battles can his physical strength be strengthened.

  When physical strength is strong enough, you can start practicing the legendary Gui Cang Pian.

  This process is very long.

  "Go out? Okay, I'll find a chance to go out and take a look. After the college entrance examination scores are announced, I'll go out and take a walk around, it's a good experience anyway. Anyway, there are two months of summer vacation, enough for me to go around."

  Xuan Qi expressed his agreement with Lao Ding's proposal. Xuan Qi also didn't want to stay at home all the time, but he felt that he knew very little about the Xuanmen and needed to make up for it in this area of knowledge.

  Xuan family as the orthodox Xuanmen, naturally has a very high attainments in Xuan Shu. However, as the successor of Xuan family, Xuan Qi does not have much advantage in this aspect.

  On the basis of Xuan Shu, Xuan Qi's foundation is very poor and needs to start learning from scratch.

  At that time, in order not to implicate Xuan Qi, Xuan Qing did not tell him everything about the Xuan family and did not teach him the classics and secret techniques of the Xuan family.

  But now he has acknowledged Xuan Qi's strength and thought of passing on the things of the Xuan family to Xuan Qi. So, he opened up all the books in his house for Xuan Qi to study.

  Now Xuan Qi has finally come into contact with this mysterious and unpredictable world of Xuan Shu. The profound and unfathomable contents within have made Xuan Qi unable to put down the book.

  As a genuine Xuan family of the Orthodox School, the content they grasp is extremely diverse. It's like the legendary divination, medicine, and other aspects are all included in the Xuan techniques.

  This knowledge is really too vast. The content inside is very precious and also very useful.

  Xuan Qi had regrets from his past life and didn't want to miss the opportunity this time around. As for these contents, he tried his best to learn and memorize them, and finally, he had to carefully comprehend them.

  When he encounters unsolved problems and the like, he still has to consult Lao Tzu until he understands the doubts.

  These days, Xuan Qing and He were not at home, but went out for a few days. Previously, he thought that he was doomed to die, so he gave up on himself and neglected many things.

  Now he found that there was still hope for him, and his grandson was also very promising, with great hope to inherit the banner of Xuanmen Zhengzong. After that, he couldn't sit still anymore.

  Pitying the parents of the world, Xuán Qīng and Xuán Chén began to collect medicinal materials, search for the lost artifacts of the Xuán family, and find the old friends of the Xuán family after discovering that Xuán Qí had a talent for cultivating Xuán techniques, in order to revive the prestige of the Xuán family.

  Now he has started running around everywhere, preparing to work hard for his grandson's future and also hoping to reinvigorate the banner of the Xuanmen Orthodox.

  Xuan Qing and the others had always been resentful about the decline of the Xuan family. For a long time, the Xuan family had been renowned in the Jianghu, considered to be a legendary aristocratic family.

  The title of Xuanmen Zhengzong has always been owned by the Xuan family. However, in recent years, the Xuan family has declined and split, and is no longer as prosperous as it was in its heyday.

  At the thought of this, Xu Qing and He were filled with boundless regret. Thinking about what the Xu family had endured over the years, he couldn't help but feel extremely resentful.

  "Xiao Qi, the hope of the Xuan family is now placed on you. Grandfather is old and won't live for much longer. Even if you help grandfather prolong his life, he still doesn't have many days left to live. Grandfather only hopes that in his lifetime, you can once again raise the banner of the Xuan family, and once again shout out the authentic banner of the Xuan Gate. At that time, even if grandfather dies, he will die with his eyes closed."

  Every time Xuan Qi thought of going out to have fun, he would think of Xuan Qing's nagging teachings and naturally couldn't muster up the interest to go out and play.

  Lao Ding was quite displeased with Xuan Qi's excuse and said, "You're the kind of person who only knows how to read books to death. The mystical techniques in these books are all dead knowledge. Only through actual practice can you grasp them more firmly. In his younger years, your master's ancestor, Xuan Yang Zi, hadn't even looked at a single book and didn't recognize a few characters. At that time, he was still a self-made man who rose from scratch. Those things were all slowly realized by him in actual combat. Afterwards, he summarized them, which is how the name 'Mystic Gate Orthodox' came to be."

  The old tortoise paused for a moment, probably recalling the glory of his past. At this time, he said magnificently: "Believe in books and you will be deceived. All the mysterious gates under heaven are unified into my one gate. As long as you understand the 'Tortoise-Dragon Transformation' technique, you can roam freely throughout the world!"

  Xuan Qi frowned and said, "Alas, the problem with the 'Turtle Dragon Transformation' technique is that it's too profound and difficult to understand. I recognize all the characters on top, but when they're put together, I just can't figure out their true meaning."

  "The profound and mysterious mind method of 'Gui Long Bian' is not something that can be learned just because you want to. It requires opportunity and enlightenment. Even I, an old man, have not been able to fully grasp the secrets within!"

  As for his own set of skills, Lao Ding naturally understood the difficulty of learning. The few disciples he had accepted back then were all exceptionally talented and had spent their entire lives mastering the essence of this skill.

  Xuan Qi was just a young man who had barely come of age, if he could simply learn the "Turtle Dragon Transformation" technique, then this technique would be too worthless.

  However, for Xuan Qi not to study "Gui Long Bian" carefully, but to learn the Xuan Men's magic, Lao Gui had some subtle words. In his view, those were all minor techniques.

  In his view, the heart method of "Gui Long Bian" is the foundation of orthodoxy. Only by laying a good foundation can we build tall buildings. Otherwise, the foundation is unstable, and everything is in vain.

  Xuan Qi heard Lao Ding's words and said, "So, I can only learn some minor skills first, and then study your profound and mysterious 'Turtle Dragon Transformation' heart method. This way, it's also a gradual progress."

  "Rotting wood cannot be carved!" The old turtle was very displeased with Xuán Qí's self-degrading behavior.
