"I remember that in the Heaven of the Heaven Sword, Zhang Wuji practiced the "Nine Yang True Sutra" for five years. I only used it for three years now, but it was two years faster than him. However, the final level of Great Perfection was a rapid achievement, but I couldn't compare to this. If I included the one or two years of my life to reach the level of Great Perfection, it was similar to the time Zhang Wuji used."

In the afternoon of that day, Yin Zhiping used his skills to practice the Nine Yang True Sutra today. Suddenly, he remembered the only one he knew who had cultivated the Nine Yang True Sutra to the Great Perfection Realm, and couldn't help but compare himself with Zhang Wuji.

As a result, it was discovered that if both of them took the time to practice the Nine Yang True Sutra to the Great Perfection realm when they came to the Great Perfection realm, they would have taken almost the same amount of time. However, if they had practiced all the nine levels of kung fu before the Great Perfection, they would have been two years faster than Zhang Wuji. However, this conclusion did not bring him much complacent.

First of all, after these three years of seclusion in the mountains, his qi cultivation skills have already reached a higher level. It can be said that he has reached the level of "not being happy with things or not being sad for himself". This kind of self-indulgent comparison will not make him lose his composure.

Secondly, it was when he was practicing the "Nine Yang True Sutra", which was higher than Zhang Wuji's starting point. When Zhang Wuji practiced the "Nine Yang True Sutra", he was still in the cold poison of the "Xuanming Divine Palm" in his body. All the Nine Yang True Qi that he began to cultivate needed to be used to resolve the cold poison in his body. Therefore, the Nine Yang True Qi he cultivated in the early stage would be constantly offset by part of it, and naturally it would slow down some of the progress accordingly. When he started practicing the "Nine Yang True Sutra", although his dantian was broken and his martial arts were abolished, part of it had been restored.

When he started practicing the "Nine Yang True Sutra", he was transformed into the Nine Yang True Qi within a few days, so that he could practice the first level of kung fu in just a few days. Not to mention the twelve serious meridians, the eight extraordinary meridians and various acupoints in his body had been opened, and there was no need to spend time and effort to open it up. Moreover, he had been a master of martial arts before and knew many key points and principles of cultivation. Instead, he started from scratch, which was really a high-level view. In addition, he also had various auxiliary methods such as "Yi Jin Zheng" in the "Nine Yin Jing" and "Breathing and Bone Forging Technique" in the "Quan Zhen Internal Power". In addition, his qualifications are not bad, at least at the upper level.

All of these advantages were added together. His speed in practicing the ninth-level magical skills of the Nine Yang True Sutra was not as fast as that of Zhang Wuji, who had a poor martial arts foundation at that time. So he might as well just find a piece of tofu to kill him. So, in this regard, there was nothing to be proud of, and this was just a matter of course.

After comparing with Zhang Wuji and reaching the conclusion, Yin Zhiping did not think about anything more. Instead, he stood up from the cloud bed cross-legged and prepared to go out for a walk outside the cave. He walked casually in the mountains and was idle.

The cave where he lives now comes from the old Taoist priest who was originally served by his two Taoist children, whose Taoist name was Dongxiao Zhenren. After he helped the two Taoist children bury the old Taoist three years ago, he took it over with the cave.

This cave is a naturally formed cave and some artificial carvings have been operated by Dongxiao Path for several years and is clean and neat. There is also an underground stream flowing through the cave and hangs from a high place to form a small waterfall.

This cave is quite large. It is about two meters high, more than three meters wide, and nearly five meters deep. It is a gourd shape with a small front and a large back. Because of its shape, the old Taoist Dongxiao ordered it to be the "spirit gourd cave".

After Yin Zhiping received it, he did not modify it. He did not change the Taoist names of the two Taoist boys, and he still used the Taoist names given by the old Taoist Dongxiao for them, one was Baopu and the other was Guanzi.

Several stone chambers were carved in the cave according to the place. Yin Zhiping, Bao Pu, Shouzhu and the other two occupied one. In front of the stone chamber, there were thick wooden doors to block it. Yin Zhiping practiced or went into seclusion on his own cave. However, Yin Zhiping's room was dug by him later and was built at the highest point in the cave. It was far from the stone chambers below and was even larger.

After getting off the cloud bed, Yin Zhiping walked to the door, opened the wooden door in the stone chamber, stood on the platform in front of the door and glanced at the cave down, and found that the two Taoist boys Baopu and Shouzhu were not in the cave. He was not surprised, but just jumped down gently, landed at the bottom of the cave, and walked out of the cave.

Only when he is in seclusion for a long time will he ask Baopu. The two children of Shouzhu must have at least one of them stayed in the cave at any time to deal with possible unexpected situations. If they were accidentally invaded by outsiders or beasts, they were shocked to practice in seclusion. When practicing on weekdays, he would not have such a hard demand. Baopu and Shouzhu can leave the cave at will but do something else. He estimated that at this time, the two of them were either practicing outside the cave, playing in the mountains, chasing birds and beasts, and picking wild fruits.

During the three years he lived in seclusion in Wudang Mountain, although he still dressed as a Taoist priest, and he also studied some Taoist scriptures left by the old Taoist Taoist Dongxiao on weekdays. When he met outsiders, he also claimed to be a Taoist hermit, but he did not strictly abide by those who learned from the Buddhist rules and precepts like when he was in Quanzhen Sect. He did not ban meat, quit drinking and meat, nor did he be strict with himself and practice hard. He treated the two Taoist children with simplicity and clumsy nature, and did not suppress their young and playful nature.

He walked out of the cave but did not see the two Taoist boys Bao Pu and Shou Zhuo. It seemed that they were indeed going to play in the mountains. He turned around and looked around, but saw a small house made of rocks not far from the left of the cave entrance. Several vegetable fields were opened next to the cottage, planting some daily edible vegetables, and a small courtyard was surrounded by fences.

At this time, there was an old farmer who looked about fifty years old and had a slightly dark skin waving his hoe to hoe the ground. This old farmer was specially hired by Yin Zhiping. Three years ago, the two children Baopu and Shouzhu were too young, both of whom were only thirteen years old. Not only were they hard and immature, they could not do many things, but they were also a little reluctant to drive such child labor.

So he hired such a widower who lived alone in a village near the foot of the mountain, and hired him to cook and go down the mountain from time to time to buy rice, flour, vegetables, and other things. Later, he reclaimed a few pieces of land and built this small vegetable garden to grow vegetables by himself, but it was his own idea. He worked on his own, and sometimes the two children of Baopu and Shouzhu were helping him, but Yin Zhiping didn't pay much attention. He only paid enough wages every month, and did not ask much about the rest. The old man's surname was He, Yin Zhiping and Baopu and Shouzhu, and they usually called him "Lao He".

"Yin Zhenren!"

At this time, Old He and his group returned to the ground, saw Yin Zhiping leaving the cave, and hurriedly lowered their hoes to greet Yin Zhiping.
