Qin Di said: "Are you asking, are there any rubbings of stone tablets in the library?"

Mr. Zhenye replied, "Yes, come with me and look carefully."

Qin Di followed the other party to the secret library of the library.

Zhenye said: "These are all secret information collected by Xianye Sect. Little brother, the 'Shangqing' of Xianye Sect is very rare. There are no more than five people in total. How did you become Shangqing?"

Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "I have some skills in alchemy."

"Oh, that's very rare. Are you a fire monk?"

"I have practiced both the five elements and learned a little about everything."

"That's not easy! It's difficult to achieve balance by practicing the five elements. It takes several times more energy than ordinary monks to reach the same level of cultivation. This path is not easy to walk! Many people have wasted their time and eventually turned into loess!"

"Well, I understand, but that's what my qualifications are, so I can only grit my teeth and move forward."

"Little brother, what pills have you refined? Is there any suitable pill for me to eat? Look at me, sixty thousand years old is the ninth level of Hedao. This age is too embarrassing! The hope of advancing to the Earth Immortal is extremely slim, but I am still unwilling to give up, so I took the initiative to ask for the management of the Library, hoping to find a path of immortality from the records of the Earth Immortals of the Predecessors..."

Qin Di glanced up and down at the lay Buddhist Hazel Leaf and said, "Elder, you are the name of hazel leaves. I want to use hazel trees as your natal fairy tree. Have you cultivated the hazel trees to the seventh level?"

Mr. Hazelye was not surprised because it was easy to guess. He answered: "It is still a sixth-level fairy tree at present."

Qin Di said: "The level of Xianling Wood is a bit low, which limits your ability to improve. In my opinion, the main reason is that you are reluctant to prune branches! Hazel trees need to prune branches, otherwise the level will not be improved!"

This sentence surprised Mr. Hazelye: "Pruning branches? Who did you hear? As a wood monk, don't you let the fairy trees grow naturally? Where is the saying of pruning branches?"

Qin Di said: "Your natal fairy tree is unique. The hazel tree is originally a shrub. It needs to be constantly pruned, but it cannot be cut randomly. It needs to be in line with the law of nature."

"This...this...brother, how could you, a alchemist, understand these things? Are you reliable?"

"Hehe, I just said it casually. If the elder doesn't believe it, forget it. It's more important to help me find rubbings."

"No! Your words have disturbed my mind! My heart is so chaotic that I can't remember where the rubbings are! I'll ask you again, can the immortal tree be pruned?"

"Strange, don't the skills of the Xianye Sect talk about pruning branches?"

"Little brother, are you a disciple of the Five Elements Sect? Do you want to prune the wood-based exercises you learned?"

"Yes, I have a theory of pruning. If the elder needs it, I can write it out and give it to you."

"That's good! I want to see that there is a stone on the mountain that can be used to polish jade."

Qin Di said: "Okay, please help me find rubbings. I will help you write the 'pruning technique' for you now. Please help me find paper and pen."

Mr. Zhenye said: "I have many blank jade slips here, and I will give you hundreds of them. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to carve your skills into the jade slip?"

Qin Di smiled and said, "I still like to use talisman paper more convenient."

In fact, using spiritual sense to carve jade slips does not matter to ordinary monks, but it is easy to leave a handle for great immortals. If a familiar person can identify him as the incarnation of the old immortal in the Spring and Autumn Period from the jade slips, it will bring him unexpected trouble.

As for writing with a pen, as long as it is neat and general text, it is difficult to identify who wrote it.

So Mr. Zhenye had to exchange for a female disciple and led Qin Di to the study, while he himself went to find rubbings.

One hour later, Qin Di wrote 1,500 words, all of which were common pruning principles and did not involve specific practice methods.

At this time, Mr. Zhenye had already returned and stood by and watched quietly.

Qin Di said: "In addition to this branch pruning technique, I will draw another picture for you in response to your personal situation. It is a hazel tree picture that conforms to the way of heaven. You go back and prune accordingly. If pruning properly, it can speed up your cultivation twice. There is still hope to advance to the Earth Immortal in this life."

Mr. Zhenye felt a "bang" in his heart. Although he didn't know whether what Qin Di said was true or not, he was trapped in his current state and wanted to find a shortcut to practice. Otherwise, as he was approaching his life expectancy day by day, he was anxious and frightened, and there was no peaceful day.

Qin Di drew a picture and said, "Every kind of fairy tree has different characteristics and different ways of living. This is a hazel tree picture. You can pass it to disciples who also use hazel trees as their natal fairy tree, but you cannot use it to guide the practice of other monks. For example, if they are pine, bamboo, and plum, you cannot use this pruning picture!"

Mr. Zhenye nodded repeatedly: "I understand! Thank you for your advice. The rubbing of the stone tablet you want has been found."

Qin Di spread the rubbings on the table and watched them intently for a while.

The content on the rubbing is very simple. It mentions that there is also a large earth sacrifice array in Kuntu City, which was carefully constructed and left by the Immortal Lord of the Great Wilderness. The monks in Kuntu City are not allowed to destroy it! The Immortal Lord of the Great Wilderness will come again, and will check the results of the earth sacrifice. If something goes wrong and the formation is destroyed, he will kill all the monks in Kuntu City, kill them without leaving any chickens and dogs.

Qin Di sneered in his heart: "Hmph, I'll go to Kuntu City sooner or later and destroy the altar you carefully built! What's the killing of everything, and no chickens and dogs will be left behind, who will you scare?"

After Qin Di left, Mr. Zhenye sat in the study room and sat blankly for a long time.

After seven days and seven nights, he suddenly stood up, walked out of the library, and went to the Zhuye Palace to ask for the Zhuye Fairy Grow.

Zhuye Xianchang was about to go into seclusion, but when he heard someone ask for a visit, he let the hazel leaf in.

He sat in the wide bamboo and wood stern chair, looked at the old-looking hazel leaves, and said lightly: "Haze leaves, you don't have much time left. As a Taoist monk, if you can't advance to the Earth Immortals between the ages of 75,000, the more you drag, the less hope you will be. How old are you this year?"

Zhenye bowed and replied, "Uncle Master, I am 61,000 years old."

Zhu Ye sighed lightly: "There are 14,000 years left, and you still have to break through the tenth level of Hedao, the eleventh level, the twelfth level, the thirteenth level, the Great Perfection, and the fifth level, which is too difficult! If it doesn't work, you should train young disciples well! When you die, this sect will help you reincarnate and re-cultivate, and then use the soul lamp to recruit you into the sect."

This method seems to be able to cycle infinitely, but it cannot really continue infinity. It is like repeating the college entrance examination. Repeat the exam again and again, fail again and again, and eventually collapse one day. In addition, every rebirth involves the constraints of the way of heaven, and the difficulty of cultivation is getting greater and greater.
