"Shortcut?" Faning was startled.

Lin Feiyang asked hurriedly: "What's the shortcut?"

Faning hesitated: "Senior brother, there seems to be no shortcut to the first rank, right?"

If there really was a shortcut, there wouldn't be so few first-class masters.

Fakong said: "Actually, there is a shortcut, but I haven't mentioned it yet because you haven't reached the level yet and your mood is uneven."

"What now?" Lin Feiyang asked hurriedly: "Can we take a shortcut now?"

Fakong nodded slowly.

Lin Feiyang said: "What is the price of the shortcut?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to take a step further."

"A step forward? A step forward from the Grand Master?"

"Um."

"Is there a step forward for the Grand Master?"

Fakong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is, but I always feel that there might be."

He always feels that the Grand Master is not the pinnacle of cultivation in the world, and there is a stronger realm beyond the Grand Master.

But there are not many great masters in the world, let alone those above the great masters. You need to explore slowly by yourself.

Wait until everything falls into place.

When the realm of a Grand Master is deep enough and the accumulation becomes deeper and deeper, you may be able to see what is beyond the Grand Master.

Lin Feiyang chuckled and said, "I don't care what realms there are above the Grand Master. I don't expect myself to surpass the Grand Master. I'm going to take this shortcut."

He felt that he might not be able to become a great master, and it would be too difficult for him to take the next step forward with the Mikage Sutra.

Fakong nodded.

This is not unexpected.

Lin Feiyang doesn't like to practice martial arts, and there is no precedent in the Mikage Sutra. It is very difficult to go further. If there is a shortcut to become a grand master, he will never refuse.

Fa Kong looked at Faning.

Faning hesitated: "Senior brother..."

"Otherwise, junior brother, can you wait any longer?"

"I...let's take this shortcut too." Faning finally gritted his teeth and said slowly.

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

This is unexpected.

According to Faning's temperament, he would rather do less than waste, and would rather practice hard and slowly than take shortcuts.

He will feel that taking shortcuts is not practical and does not have the solidity and stability gained through hard work. The more solid the foundation, the farther he can go in the future.

"Junior brother, why is this so?"

"If you practice slowly, I'm afraid it will take decades to become a great master. It won't be possible without twenty years."

"Yeah, almost." Fakong nodded.

Even a prodigy needs to be middle-aged to become a Grand Master. Almost no one can become a Grand Master in their youth.

Faning is a prodigy, and a rare prodigy in the world, but it still takes decades to become a great master.

"Senior brother, I'd better go in early." Faning said.

Fakong looked at him thoughtfully: "Junior brother, I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want you to help me."

He actually wanted the people around him to improve their cultivation as soon as possible.

This incident made him feel pressure and anger, and the anger came from his own powerlessness.

But not Fanning.

For a genius like Fan Ning, it is better to take things slowly and step by step, but Fan Ning still needs to know that there are shortcuts.

Faning said: "Senior brother, I want to become a Grand Master as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute." Fakong shook his head.

"Senior brother..."

"You can go further."

"I think I can give it a try, and even after taking the shortcut, there may not be a way to a higher level!" Faning pursed his thick lips tightly, with a stubborn expression.

Fa Kong looked at him.

Lin Feiyang said: "I think it's better to let Faning join the Grand Master, otherwise he won't be able to practice with peace of mind."

"Exactly, senior brother." Faning looked at him sincerely.

Fa Kong stared at him.

Faning looked at him sincerely.

"...Okay." Fakong finally nodded.

Fanning is indeed a genius. Even if he takes shortcuts, he may not be able to reach a higher level. It is still necessary to step into the grand master as soon as possible.

If this was a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be okay to slowly train to become a grandmaster, but now it seems that it is not a peaceful and prosperous age.

Li Zhengyuan's warning still rings in his ears, and he will not ignore it.

Although there are no signs of war yet, we will not be careless because of this, and we will live in sorrow and die in happiness.

"Thank you, senior brother." Faning smiled.

Fakong shook his head and sighed: "I hope I won't regret it."

"Is this the shortcut that senior brother took?"

"Yes." Fakong nodded.

Faning's smile became even brighter: "Senior brother can go, so can I!"

Fakong nodded.

The index and middle fingers of his left hand formed a sword, and he gently tapped Faning's eyebrows. Faning remained motionless and did not dodge.

After a moment, Fakong retracted his sword finger and looked at Lin Feiyang.

Lin Feiyang came over and Fakong pointed his finger between his eyebrows.

He is already proficient in the method of initiation and is not surprised at all.

The two of them remained motionless.

The experience Faning gained was the experience of Masters Tianwu and Tianque, and the experience Lin Feiyang gained was the experience of Gong Qunying and Master Murong.

Each person gained the experience of two great masters, and with their amazing understanding, they were able to quickly capture the subtleties of the great masters.

The reason why it is so difficult to enter the Grand Master is because of this indescribable subtlety, and because everyone has their own path, only by knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature can one enter the Grand Master.

There are different ways to understand one's mind and nature, and the subtleties are difficult to describe and need to be understood by oneself.

The experience of the two Grand Masters will give them great stimulation and inspiration, allowing them to find their own path and quickly become a Grand Master.

——

"Master, I have a method that can quickly step into the first rank." Fakong stood in front of Huinan and said with a smile.

Huinan frowned and looked at him.

Fakong said: "Master, do you want to give it a try?"

"Come on!" Huinan snorted.

The two of them were standing in Huinan's small courtyard. They were alone. Xiao Xiaomi Faen had already gone to find Fawu.

"Master, do you want to give it a try?" Fakong repeated.

Huinan frowned: "Yipin is your own path. You can only find and explore by yourself. No one else can help."

"Can I still harm Master?" Fakong said.

"Humph." Huinan curled her lips.

The afterglow of the setting sun slowly illuminates the small courtyard, the light is soft.

"Master, you really don't want to give it a try and step into the first rank?"

"...Is it really okay?"

"Absolutely no problem."

"...Okay." Huinan finally nodded slowly and said, "I'm actually only a little short of it."

This point is the most difficult. Most disciples of Vajra Temple fail before this point and never reach the first level in their lives.
