Chen Yuan, who had just woken up, was still a little at a loss.

In a panic, I was extremely confused as to whether I was Chen Yuan or a butterfly.

Chen Yuan sat there and thought seriously for a moment.

I feel like I am Chen Yuan, and I am also the butterfly in the dream.

"Do you know how long you slept for?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.

Chen Yuan turned around and saw that the grid lines on the chessboard were already covered with chess pieces. The young scholar and Mr. Fire Dragon had stopped playing chess, not knowing who was winning and who was losing, and were looking at him with a smile.

Only then did Chen Yuan realize that around them, the green mountains that used to be everywhere were now covered in silver, and everything between heaven and earth became white.

The bright sun in the sky is obscured by clouds, which creates a scene of stacked golden clouds.

It seems that there has just been a heavy snowfall on the mountain, and the whole world has turned into a world of pink makeup and jade.

The strange thing is that, sitting on the boulder in the cold weather, he did not feel the slightest chill, as if he was in the warm spring.

Only then did Chen Yuan remember that when he and the young scholar came, it was a hot summer, but now it had begun to snow, and it was already winter.

Chen Yuan responded to the young scholar in an uncertain tone: "Could it be that I slept for several months?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Mr. Huolong, who was wearing a fiery red Taoist robe next to him, laughed and said, "It's not just a few months, but you have been sleeping for three full years."

Three years!

Chen Yuan couldn't help being surprised.

From the boulder, I suddenly stood up.

"It's over. This time I was originally going to visit relatives to study, but there has been no news for three years. I'm afraid my relatives thought something bad happened to me."

Chen Yuan said in a panic.

Seeing Chen Yuan making a fuss, Mr. Fire Dragon said angrily:

"You kid, don't be ignorant of your blessings. There are countless mortals in the world who can't even ask for an opportunity like yours."

The young scholar also said beside him: "You can see what you have gained from sleeping for three years."

Seeing the two immortals saying this, Chen Yuan could only temporarily forget about the consequences of three years of sleeping.

Then he discovered that there were two more profound and profound cultivation techniques in his mind.

They are "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose" and "Fetal Breath Jue".

In addition, during these three years of sleeping, his body seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

I am full of energy and have endless strength in my body.

The entrance door to his body seemed to be opened all of a sudden.

If he wants to, he can breathe through the entrance of his body instead of breathing through his mouth and nose.

The young scholar said at this time: "The two methods in your mind, "Taiyi Jinhua Purpose" is my cultivation method, and "Fetal Breathing Technique" is Mr. Huolong's cultivation method."

Mr. Huolong also said: "You have been sleeping for three years, which is a great opportunity. In your confusion, you have already cultivated the state of breathing."

Chen Yuan wondered: "What is the state of breathing?"

The young scholar and the Taoist looked at each other and then remembered that Chen Yuan was originally a mortal and knew nothing about Taoism.

Then the young scholar said: "Since you have achieved the state of breathing and are on the path of cultivating Taoism, let us explain to you the state of cultivating Taoism."

The young scholar continued: "The realm of immortals is too far away from you. Let's not talk about it for now. Mortals who practice Taoism have three realms: internal nourishment, life, and attainment of Taoism."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized in surprise: "The three realms of internal nourishment, life, and enlightenment? Why is there not at all the realm of breathing that the two immortals just mentioned?"

Mr. Huolong said from the side: "These three realms are just general divisions for ordinary people to practice Taoism. Specifically, internal nourishment is divided into three realms: gas-eating, elixir fetus, and spiritual nourishment. Life is divided into three realms: inner scene, no leakage, and yangshen.

When you attain the Tao, you will be able to ascend to heaven, and be divided into three disasters and two realms."

"When you have cultivated the great state of life and life, fellow Taoists will respectfully call you "Zhenren". In fact, for ordinary people to cultivate Taoism and nourish themselves internally, life is the main state. After cultivating the Yang Shen, they can already abandon the physical body and only rely on the Yang Shen to support one thing for a long time.

In this world, the plague of the eight evils cannot harm you, and you can already be regarded as a corpse-dissolving immortal."

"If you continue to practice, reach the realm of Dao Yuanization, and choose not to survive the three disasters, you can become an earthly immortal or human immortal and live forever. If you choose to survive the three disasters, let alone failure, but if you succeed, you will be able to live forever.

If you can cultivate to become a god or immortal, you can go to work in heaven."

After hearing Mr. Huolong's story, Chen Yuan gradually understood the realm of ascetics.

Then Chen Yuan thought that among the many immortals Mr. Huolong just mentioned, there were no ghost immortals that he had heard of in his previous life.

Then he asked: "Two immortals, where are the ghost immortals? I read a travelogue written by a Taoist before, and it seemed that ghost immortals were mentioned in it, but just now Mr. Huolong did not mention ghost immortals."

Hearing Chen Yuan's question, the young scholar and the Fire Dragon Immortal couldn't help laughing together.

The young scholar said:

"The so-called ghost immortals refer to those who have not been able to cultivate pure yang. After death, they have a quiet thought, go out of the netherworld and enter the underworld, and are immortal. They are ghost immortals. That is, those who have not yet cultivated to the yang god have encountered disasters and died physically.

Ascetics can only be regarded as Yin gods at best and cannot be called immortals, so Mr. just didn’t mention it.”

Mr. Fire Dragon continued:

"The so-called state of eating Qi is the state of practice in which the body's mysterious door is opened, the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth is absorbed, and the essence of the body is nourished."

"As the saying goes, "Those who eat their breath will live long, and those who do not eat will live forever." The biggest difference between mortals and ascetics is that mortals can only eat grains to replenish their essence. Not to mention the speed, there are restrictions, plus the natural

Loss can only maintain a balance at most, but ascetics feed on the pure spirit of heaven and earth, which can continuously nourish the essence in the body, which is also the reason why ascetics live long."

"If you have cultivated the state of eating Qi and often eat pure spiritual Qi, most practitioners can live over a hundred years."

"For ordinary ascetics, if they want to cultivate the realm of food and energy, it may take at least ten years, or as many as thirty or forty years. Even for those with poor qualifications, it is not impossible to waste their whole life."

"You slept for three years, and in your sleep, you cultivated the realm of food and energy. Do you know now how big of an opportunity you have encountered?"

After hearing Mr. Huolong's explanation, Chen Yuan finally understood that even if his cultivation level cannot improve in the future, he still has a hundred-year lifespan.

Thinking about it this way, this time I slept for three years, which is really an incredible opportunity.

Chen Yuan quickly straightened his expression and respectfully saluted the two immortals in front of him:

"Thank you two immortals for your kindness in preaching."

He slept here for three years.

The two immortals did not leave, obviously they wanted to fulfill his wish and help him become a Taoist.

Seeing how polite Chen Yuan was, Mr. Huolong's lips curled up slightly, which at least meant that the two of them had not preached to the wrong person.

Mr. Fire Dragon then suddenly said: "You have a very good understanding, do you have the idea of ​​becoming a disciple?"

When Mr. Fire Dragon said this, the young scholar next to him suddenly became unhappy.

"Fire Dragon, I brought this son Chen Yuan. Even if you are a disciple, you should still worship me as your disciple. If you want to accept a disciple, you can find it yourself."

The young scholar is angry.

"You Wu Xinchang, my relationship with you is just a disciple, how can you still be so clear with me?"

Seeing the young scholar protecting his food, Mr. Fire Dragon couldn't help but smile.

"No matter how good the relationship is, I can't give up this apprenticeship to you."

The young scholar refused to give way.

"You never said before that you planned to accept him as your disciple. You were just prepared to give him a chance. Now that I intend to accept him as my disciple, you have jumped out to fight with me."

Mr. Fire Dragon still tried to reason with the young scholar.

"I never said before that I wouldn't accept him as my disciple."

The young scholar said anxiously.

Mr. Fire Dragon was speechless immediately, and then he changed his way and said:

"You hold an immortal position and are busy with official duties. You may not have time to teach him. It will only waste his ability and understanding. And I am an idle immortal and do not have an immortal position. This son worships me as his teacher and will be taught by me personally.

, so that his qualifications will not be wasted."

Who knew that the young scholar said:

"Although I have an immortal position, it is a sinister position. It doesn't matter if I am with or without me. If he worships me as his teacher, I will also teach him personally."

Mr. Fire Dragon was at his wits end.

However, the young scholar's mind changed and he looked to the side, where the two of them were fighting over Chen Yuan, who looked a little nervous:

"Chen Yuan, since it is you who will be my disciple, it is up to you to decide which one of us should be my disciple?"

Seeing the young scholar's actions, Mr. Fire Dragon's expression changed, and he secretly screamed "misstep".

The first person this young man got to know was his good friend. The two formed a karmic relationship, and the possibility of the other party choosing his good friend was definitely far greater than him.

When Chen Yuan heard what the young scholar said, he was in a dilemma for a while.

Logically speaking, the young scholar saved him, so he should choose to become his apprentice without hesitation.
