Seeing that the three masters and disciples in the room all stood up and saluted him, Ji Yuan stood at the door and returned the salute, then walked into the room naturally.
Seeing Ji Yuan looking at the table and under the table, Lu Chengfeng didn't care, but Yan Fei and Zuo Wuji were a little embarrassed. The table and under the table were a mess, so they quickly cleaned up to welcome Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, please take a seat!"
"Sir, you are here to rescue us. We don't know where the monster has taken us. The monster can appear in the city openly, and there are no temples or ghosts."
Ji Yuan nodded, sat down in the empty seat, and signaled the three people not to stand. After all four of them were seated, he began to answer questions for Zuo Wuji and the other two.
"You are not in the outer world, but in a cave in the Black Dream Spirit Continent. All mortals in the cave are regarded as food by the demons..."
Cave heaven
I thought I was in a remote and hard-to-find place, but it turned out that I was no longer in the real world. It turned out that there were no immortals or decent ghosts and gods in this world.
"So that's how it is. If the immortals hadn't come across the sea, we wouldn't have been able to leave here even if we practiced martial arts and fought till the end of the world."
Hearing Yan Fei's words, Ji Yuan thought for a moment and nodded.
"If you don't know how to enter and exit the cave, you will not be able to escape even if you run to the ends of the earth. But you don't have to underestimate yourselves. The horse demon that died under your martial arts was not an ordinary little demon. It can be considered a top figure among ordinary demons. After this incident, the road of martial arts has been completely opened up, and it belongs to the wonders of all methods."
Having said this, Ji Yuan smiled and continued.
"There is a phenomenon in cultivation called rebirth, which represents a qualitative change in the level of cultivation. Although there are differences between the third level of martial arts, especially the Wuji level, the changes are so great that they can be called rebirth. Of course, Ji doesn't like this term. It's better to give martial arts another name, such as condensing martial spirit."
Lu Chengfeng thought about it and asked.
"Why? Isn't it good to call it a complete transformation?"
Ji Yuan looked at Lu Chengfeng, then at Yan Fei and Zuo Wuji, and said thoughtfully.
"Ji hopes that after those who practice martial arts truly embark on the path of martial arts and achieve success, they will still regard themselves as human beings, instead of thinking that they are inherently superior to others and severing their relationship with ordinary people."
For Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng, who were experienced and accustomed to the world, they understood Mr. Ji's words after careful consideration. However, Zuo Wuji was still thinking about something. Ji Yuan knew that he had unique insights into martial arts but was young after all, so he said a few more words.
"Practicing martial arts does not necessarily mean stepping into the martial arts path, but one must first practice martial arts to enter the martial arts path. Martial arts are born out of the martial arts world, and wherever there are people, there is the martial arts world!"
Ji Yuan looked at Zuo Wuji and asked.
"Master Martial Saint, what do you think the purpose of martial arts practice is?"
Hearing Mr. Ji calling him that, Zuo Wuji, who had just gotten used to being called that by outsiders, immediately felt embarrassed again.
"Mr. Ji, please don't call me that..."
Then Zuo Wuji's face straightened and he answered Ji Yuan's question.
"In addition to strengthening the body, practicing martial arts should also help the weak, uphold justice, strive for excellence, and challenge oneself!"
It was a very formal answer, but it was also what Zuo Wuji really thought. Some warriors’ answers were more “individual”? But these “old” ideas of warriors were exactly where the spirit of martial arts lay.
"You're right. If I were to escape from this world, these things wouldn't be complete."
Ji Yuan’s words made Zuo Wuji think about something? It was unknown whether he had figured it out or not. In the end, he nodded politely and thanked Ji Yuan.
"Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, but it was impossible to influence Zuo Wuji by force, so he simply took out a white jade thousand-bucket pot from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
"I know that Master Lu has been addicted to alcohol for a long time, so I just happened to bring some wine today to share with you three. It can also be regarded as a way to congratulate you three on your improvement in martial arts."
When Lu Chengfeng saw the wine pot, his eyes lit up and he burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Ji, this small pot of wine is not enough for Lu to drink alone? It's not enough to celebrate? Are you an immortal? Make some more wine!"
Ji Yuan took out a few cups again, shook his head and smiled.
"This pot is enough for drinking."
This Thousand Dou Pot contains a hodgepodge of wines collected by the Nine-tailed Fox in the Jade Fox Cave, which are integrated with the magical effects of the Thousand Dou Pot. Not only is the wine rich in aroma and flavor, but it is also full of spirituality. It can be considered a kind of rare wine, and it is also the basic prototype of Ji Yuan's idea of making his own wine.
When the wine was poured into the cup, the old drunkard Yan Fei stopped talking immediately and sniffed the aroma of the wine greedily. This wine was really something that could only be tasted rarely in the world.
Without waiting for Ji Yuan to say anything, Lu Chengfeng couldn't wait to pick up the wine cup and took a sip, praising it loudly, "Good wine."
"Please use."
Ji Yuan politely said he would drink first as a sign of respect. Although Yan Fei seldom drinks, he would not refuse at this moment. He and Zuo Wuji picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp. When they took a sip of the wine, their eyes suddenly lit up. Not only did it taste wonderful and endless, but the wine also warmed their stomachs like a fire.
Ji Yuan knew that the three people's bodies were in urgent need of nourishment, so he was not stingy with the wine and poured one glass after another. In addition to chatting about their usual martial arts practice, he also talked about the situations of other human and animal kingdoms in this cave, and he was very serious in telling the three people about the vastness of the world.
All the states in the world, the four seas and eight wildernesses, the world in the cave, the demon country and the ghost den, the yin and yang worlds, and all the places in the human world...
After everyone drank dozens of glasses of wine, Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged, while Zuo Wuji, Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng's faces were already flushed. It was at this time that Ji Yuan suddenly spoke again.
"Now that you have shown your martial arts skills, the three of you are also blessed with good fortune. If a true immortal wants to teach you immortal skills and wants you to enter the immortal world and practice the art of longevity, what do you think?"
Yan Fei looked at Ji Yuan with a smile.
"Mr. Ji, you are not talking about yourself, are you?"
Ji Yuan just shook his head.
"Whether in the past, now, or in the future, Ji will never do this."
Zuo Wuji happened to have poured himself a glass of wine, and when he heard this he drank it all in one gulp. The initial restraint he had when facing Ji Yuan had long gone, and at this moment he felt the same arrogance as when he killed the big monster before.
“Hahahahaha, Mr. Ji, since you said that we have truly opened up the way of martial arts, and the road ahead is bright but unknown, then I, Zuo Wuji, must continue to break through along this path. One day, I will stand on the top of the mountain and overlook the magnificent scenery of the martial arts, and let all the people in the world see the elegance of my martial arts!”
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam. He poured a glass of wine for Zuo Wuji himself, refilled a glass for himself, and then raised his glass.
"I think that day will come when you will be worthy of the title of Martial Saint. I will be waiting to see your style!"
"It's a deal, sir, watch out!"
Zuo Wuji clinked glasses with Ji Yuan, then drank the wine in one gulp. After drinking, he looked at Yan Fei and Lu Chengfeng.
"Masters, please also look at the style of your disciples!"
"Good boy, we won't lose to you!" "You are ambitious, but we are not old yet!"
“Hahahaha… drink!” “Drink!”
…
They drank cup after cup of wine, and there was always more wine in the small wine pot. In the end, except for Ji Yuan, Zuo Wuji and his two disciples were all drunk.
Lu Chengfeng shook the Qiandou pot for who knows how many times, and then poured himself wine again. A stream of wine fell into the glass and filled it up, and more wine overflowed from the glass...
"Uh... why can't I pour out all the wine?"
"Master, you drank too much, burp..."
Zuo Wuji took the wine jug from Lu Chengfeng and poured himself some. He was about to pour some wine for Yan Fei as well, but then he realized that his master had already slumped over the table.
"Okay, drink this and have a good rest."
Ji Yuan took the wine pot and poured himself a glass, holding the glass in one hand and weighing a black piece in the other. He looked at the three masters and apprentices lying on the table. Now even Zuo Wuji and Lu Chengfeng were lying on the table.
"Hey, it's great to be young and proud..."
Ji Yuan drank the wine in the cup, then put away the wine pot and cup and walked out, closing the door for the three people.
…
Two days later, the battle between good and evil had already ended, and the result was self-evident. Almost all the demons and monsters that participated in the Ten Thousand Demons Banquet escaped, and the cultivators of Tianyu Continent also felt that the results of the battle were already very rich, and they did not want to stir up the Black Wasteland and cause greater losses to themselves.
On this day, inside the cave with many so-called human and animal countries, countless people looked up at the sky in horror, while countless people were nervous and expectant, and then the expressions of these people gradually turned dull.
Because, the sky is falling!
The sky was cloudless but thunder and lightning were raging and the storm was raging. The ground where people were standing was shaking slightly and some old buildings seemed to be shaking. Deafening noises were heard in the ears, and then things gradually calmed down under the feet.
The masters of various sects in Tianyu Continent joined forces to tear this cave apart. Afterwards, the sky inside the cave collapsed and the earth sank as if it was the end of the world. Large tracts of land rose from the ground and flew directly out of the broken sky.
The immortal masters actually took away a considerable portion of the land in the cave directly, so that they could take people away as quickly as possible without wasting time in evil areas like the Black Wasteland.
