However, Confucian masters have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and they also have to regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world... This sounds very annoying.

When fighting, I still have to recite Confucian poems to clear my Qi, which always feels a bit shameful.

The combat effectiveness of Confucian masters is also average, but they are easy to practice, so that princes and nobles can become officials with mixed academic qualifications.

Only those who have cultivated to a third-grade Confucian or above can be able to speak according to the law, but it is too difficult, and Liu Juzheng, who has such a talent, has not been able to achieve it after years of hard work.

In the recorded history of the Xianwu era, there has never been a true first-class scholar!

The only pseudo-first-grade scholar was the Jijiu Master of the Imperial College. He could not make any progress until he reached the second-grade scholar for a hundred years. Later, he switched to chess and assisted in his cultivation to reach the first-grade scholar.

But Lord Jijiu never spoke out about Dharma Sui from now on. Instead, he practiced playing chess games and fighting. He was not really a first-class Confucian.

The bottleneck of Confucianism is too difficult.

In particular, Chen Yanjun was a pure scholar in his previous life and could not find a job before graduation. Now he has finally traveled to the world of high martial arts.

What's more, now, troubled times are coming...

"A useless scholar is a scholar who doesn't learn and doesn't learn!"

As for Zen masters, it was popular among people in the Tang Dynasty to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. There were many practitioners, but most of them chanted blindly.

The Zen master is a type with a firm mind and a solid foundation. His practice is extremely difficult, and his combat effectiveness at the same level is very impressive.

A low-level Zen master is even stronger than a martial artist of the same level!

Zen Master Wanhua of Daci'en Temple is the only first-grade Zen master who has escaped into Buddhism and does not care about worldly affairs.

It stands to reason that Chen Yanjun will have an advantage if he enters the third realm of nourishing qi and practices Buddhism.

But if a Zen master wants to become a monk, he must at least shave his head.

It is said that after shaving your hair, you can listen to the heavenly instructions and receive the essence of the sun and moon when practicing meditation... Chen Yanjun does not know whether it is true or not.

For example, Mrs. Zhang is an old nun. No matter how brightly she dresses, she still wears a nun's hat on her head.

There are also Cui Da, Master Cui, and the bald old man who were rescued by Chen Yanjun personally...

It doesn’t fit in with Chen Yanjun’s handsome and imposing image.

"Being handsome is a lifelong thing, you can't learn from it until you die!"

Looking at it this way, Chen Yanjun could only choose the Taoist lineage.

Eunuch Qiu, who wielded power over the entire government and took advantage of Emperor Tianshun, was a first-level magician.

It seems that there is still some future in studying Taoism.

Of course, Chen Yanjun did not plan to practice all kinds of Taoist techniques comprehensively and systematically, but selectively practiced some practical techniques.

For example, the simplest Yuling.

The so-called spiritual control in Taoism refers to the control of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Generally speaking, only by controlling one spirit alone can one reach the state of transformation and maximize combat power.

But Chen Yanjun is endowed with all five elements, so he may be able to train them all to the full level.

"If metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are all at full level, no matter where I go, it will be my home court!"

The five elements of spiritual power are attached to the sword, which can create dazzling sword shadows.

As for spells, they are combos or combinations of moves learned after becoming proficient in controlling spirits, forming a fixed routine, which usually requires pinching and chanting spells to cast... It is not a priority for Chen Yanjun's practice.

At this point, Chen Yanjun summarizes the direction of practice——

He majored in martial arts, focusing on swordsmanship.

Auxiliary training in alchemist, magician and craftsman.

Magicians are for combat assistance. The battlefield is ever-changing, and learning the five elements of spirit control is very useful!

In order to forge the artifact, the craftsman can make a surprise attack. At the critical moment, he can defeat the weak and the strong and reverse the situation of the battle.

As for the alchemist, Chen Yanjun only practices medical skills to save himself and others.

In this way, the entire combat system was formed.

In addition, practice should not be neglected. In addition to daily practice, resources must also be sufficient. The five elements are equally endowed with high resource requirements...

"It seems that I also need to make more money!"

Right now, he plans to go to Nanxianfang to sell Cui Qian'an's Xuan-level sword, and then go to the sword-making shop to customize a suitable natal sword.

After that, I went to the Danlin Academy of the Imperial Academy to consult with the teaching assistant to improve my medical skills. I also took a look at Master Cui’s treatment.

Chen Yanjun's heart opened up, and he regained the excitement of his student days after a long absence.

"I have just traveled through time for a week, and my journey of spiritual practice is about to officially begin!"

Going to take risks in the Prison Department? That's not possible. Right now, he just wants to study hard.

His dot panel is thirsty!

As I was thinking about it, a line of translucent subtitles slowly appeared in front of my eyes.
Chapter completed!
