The Aries Cave is not big, and the small Taoist temple with the highest terrain and looks like an isolated island under the white clouds, and it is only less than a hundred feet high.

Zhang Yi stopped while walking, counted some of the uses of the Aries Cave building, and talked about the rules of the Aries Cave. It took less than half an incense stick on the left and right, and the extremely important sutra cave inside the door had already appeared in front of Ding Ning.

Outside the Sutra Cave is a rough small stone hall carved from the mountains. There is only a cable bridge that sways in and out.

The wooden boards of the cable bridge are a little black, even giving people a sense of insolidity.

The uncle of the Aries Cave's sword-ringing sword, Li Daoji, who had been in front of the mountain road, was already standing at the entrance of this cable bridge road.

Zhang Yi stepped forward with a restrained look and asked softly.

Li Daoji nodded, and then his somber and majestic gaze fell on Ding Ning.

"Cultivation is about being born in the world, purity and less interference, and the mind is spent on understanding oneself and the essence of heaven and earth, so that the practice will progress quickly. Therefore, all practice sects are naturally isolated from the outside world. However, there is also a saying of entering the world. Some people practice in the world, with more insights and more opportunities, and the practice will progress faster. Moreover, even the strongest practitioners are human beings, and they cannot escape the intrigue and deception. If they enter the world, they will not be goldfish raised in the clear pond. Once they enter the turbid river, they are not used to it. The cave owner said that you are a special case, but in the final analysis, it depends on your practice progress and whether you have such qualifications." He looked at Ding Ning and said slowly.

Ding Ning looked at his cold eyes and said, "Uncle Master means that I can go back to Wutong Lake, but I must first prove that my cultivation is fast enough?"

Li Daoji frowned slightly. He didn't know how much the young man in the wine shop had learned from his words just now, but he nodded and said in a clear voice: "You can choose and study the scriptures in the cave. Next, your living place and future practices, the cave owner will make arrangements and adjustments based on your performance these days."

Listening to Li Daoji's words, Ding Ning did not react in any special way. However, Zhang Yi on the front side and several disciples such as Nangong Caishu behind him were once again filled with shock and confusion.

Although practitioners practice using true energy to call the natural enemy's vitality, the principles are the same in the cultivation of true energy, but because each practitioner has different physiques and different five energy in his body, the various techniques of cultivating true energy left by countless generations of practitioners are actually very different, and the condensed true energy will also have some different characteristics.

Examples of more extreme points, such as the True Fire Palace in the Great Yan Dynasty, only true disciples are qualified to practice the Chihuo True Art. The heaven and earth essence mobilized by the true essence can only turn into terrifying true fire. However, the only female Shishou Ye Ce Leng of the Great Qin Dynasty, she practiced the Lishui Divine Arts in the Tianyi Sword Pavilion, which she was practicing, was the appearance of various water flows.

The coordination of different martial arts and sword techniques and other means of calling heaven and earth's vitality against the enemy also has different powers and effects.

Generally speaking, after the disciple enters, the master will teach according to his aptitude and provide some suggestions based on the potential characteristics of the disciple to help him choose appropriate exercises and sword techniques to practice.

This selection of practice is the first step to crossing the river with stones in the dark and determines the life of a practitioner.

However, now, Aries Cave has really made a special case and made no suggestions, so that Ding Ning can directly choose freely.

Until Li Daoji left again and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Zhang Yi was still a little unbelievable that this was true.

However, he naturally would not go against the decision of the cave master who respected the extreme in his daily life. So after crossing the cable bridge and taking Ding Ning, Nangong Caishu and others into the stone hall outside the Jingshi Cave, he couldn't help but warn Ding Ning with a bitter face, "Junior brother, there are many true techniques in the Jingshi Library, and many of them have great power and their own characteristics. But you should also see if there are any shortcomings, whether it is suitable for yourself, so you must consider it carefully."

...

The stone door of the Sutra Cave slowly opened, revealing a stone step slowly rising.

"When you first conducted the annual rotation stone plate test, you took one of the wrong ones from the five stone beads. Did you deliberately?"

On the way from entering the mountain gate to entering the Jingjuan Cave, Nangong Caishu had been deliberately keeping a distance from Ding Ning. At this moment, he started to enter the cave with Ding Ning. Nangong Caishu finally couldn't help it. He took two steps, reached Ding Ning's side, and asked seriously.

Ding Ning didn't expect that she was still thinking about this question. She turned her head and saw her curious and serious eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You did it on purpose, just to let everyone have a comparison and can distinguish it at once, right?" His smile made Nangong Caishu see something, and she couldn't help but feel shocked.

"You can take out four of them quickly, of course you can match all five of them." Ding Ning glanced at her and whispered: "I just don't want to spend too much time."

"From the beginning, you knew you would definitely pass such an introductory test." Hearing his words, Nangong Caishu's brow frowned deeply. She looked at Ding Ning suspiciously, "This is too weird, because even if you know you are a genius, it is impossible to have such absolute confidence. Moreover, the Aries Cave Master will give you such an exception, and let you enter this classic cave to select the classics and scriptures without giving any advice... Being able to pass the test of the annual turnover water plate and the Jade Warrior at that speed, unless you have practiced the annual turnover water plate and the Jade Warrior countless times before, you... You... can't you be the illegitimate son of the Aries Cave Master, right?"

Ding Ning listened with interest, but when she heard her last inference, she almost fell on the stone steps.

"Miss Nangong, your association is too rich."

He looked at Nangong Caishu, whose eyes were full of doubts, and said helplessly: "A person like you who has such rich association abilities should go to the Tianshi to investigate the case in the future."

"Are you really relying on absolute talent?" Nangong Caishu's eyes still had a look of disbelief. She continued while thinking: "But since you can be sure that you have such talent, why not directly participate in the spring exam of each sect? Every Changling person should be very clear that except for sects such as Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect, the entrance exams of most sects are not subject to restrictions. Anyone who is of the age can participate. And with your performance today, if there is no cheating element, you can enter a better sect."

Ding Ning's heart sank slightly.

This is indeed a flaw that may cause doubt. Some people will definitely have such doubts in the future. He must give a reasonable explanation.

He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Cultivation... is not something that everyone can think of. I didn't know at first that I had the potential to become a cultivator, until Fang Xiumu came to see me until I met Wang Taixu."

"Fang Xiu Mu? Fang Xiu Mu in Fang Hou's Mansion?" Nangong Caishu was shocked.

Fang Qilin, one of the thirteen marquis of the Great Qin Dynasty, is already old. However, in recent years, the Fang Hou Mansion not only shows no sign of decline, but instead has a slight attitude of surpassing the rest of the marquis' mansions, because Fang Qilin has two enviable sons.

One of the sons, Fang Xiang, is already like Nangong Caishu's father, a powerful general who guards the outer vassal city, while the other son, Fang Xiumu, is a famous sword fool and has no hobby for anything other than practice.

Although the outside world now does not know what real level Fang Xiumu's cultivation has reached, at least ten years ago, many real powerful people in Changling could be sure that Fang Xiumu is the fastest among all people of Changling who are about the same age as they have.

Even according to his speed of practicing to break through the realm, even the Two Stars and Emperor Yuanwu made a judgment that he was the most promising practitioner among the young practitioners in Changling who had the most hope of breaking through the top seven realms in the future.

Above the seventh realm is the eighth realm, a realm that few practitioners have been able to reach in ancient times.

For Nangong Caishu, a person who can get the evaluation of the two ministers and the emperor, is naturally a myth that needs to be looked up to.

"Who is Wang Taixu?"

Nangong Caishu breathed deeply, trying her best to calm herself down. She looked at Ding Ning and continued to ask.

"The owner of two floors, the owner of a gang in the Jianghu City."

Ding Ning looked at Nangong Caishu and said quietly: "Fang Xiumu has come to see me. I know that I have good potential for cultivation, but the Fang Hou Mansion still gave up on me because my body also has a very troublesome problem... Later, when I met Wang Taixu, who was fighting with other gangs in the world and wanted to bet, I decided to gamble. Then I decided to use his arrangements to enter the Aries Cave to practice."

"A bet?" Nangong Caishu asked incomprehensible: "What are the troublesome problems in your body?"

Ding Ning looked at her: "If the body with excessive five energy is too strong, if there is no special opportunity, it may die faster after starting to practice."

Ding Ning's words were very calm, but it was thunderous when it fell into Nangong Caishu's ears.

Her breathing paused, "Die faster...how fast?"

Ding Ning said: "It may be able to live to more than thirty."

Nangong Caishu's steps were stopped.

Her face turned pale. She could hardly imagine that Ding Ning, a young man who was like a rising sun, might have only a decade of life left, and he could talk about this matter so calmly.

"So I am not the illegitimate son of the Aries Cave Lord. He made such an exception to me, maybe he felt that no matter what I practice, it might be of no use in the end." Ding Ning looked at her and smiled, and said, "There is another possibility that he wants to see my judgment. After all, practice still depends on himself. He sees whether he can choose a more suitable technique based on my intuition so that I can live a few more years."

Looking at his smile, Nangong Caishu couldn't speak for a long time. She thought of a word inexplicably: Some people practiced just for more glory, while some people practiced because they were their fate.

Ding Ning continued to move forward, and the stone steps that were slanted up had reached the end. A cave that seemed to be bathed in the soft sky light appeared in front of him.

This is a cave with many ventilation holes on the top.

There should be many refracted crystal arrangements in those ventilation holes. The soft beams of light sprinkle in every corner of the cave, but are isolated from the wind and rain, making everything in the cave seem to be in an absolute state of time.

The bookshelf on the four walls of the cave are filled with various classics.

On the side of the bookshelf directly in front of him, there was a narrow upward staircase, which should lead to the inner hole.

Ding Ning officially stepped into the Jingshi Cave. He started from the left side of his hand and began to carefully read the classics on every bookshelves.

Nangong Caishu calmed down and followed.

As a disciple of Qingteng Sword Academy, if you are lucky enough to enter the Buddhist scriptures of other sects, you naturally have to seize every minute and look at as many things as possible to see if you can find something that will be of great help to your cultivation. However, at this moment, most of the thoughts in her mind were gathered on Ding Ning.
