Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 189 - 129 Zhe Character Seal, Formless Daoist Scripture
Stepping off the flying ship and entering Taiwei City once again.
Ji Jingqiu looked up and saw the lush greenery of midsummer.
Outside the airfield, the varied heights of the plants and the density of branches and leaves created a dappled light and shadow effect.
In the distance were pavilions and towers, and further away stretched the continuous mountain formation.
Different from Heavenly Market City, Taiwei City was expansive, almost embracing an entire mountain range. It would be more accurate to describe it as not just a city, but as mountains interspersed with various dojos and the like, a completely different world from where the Star Division in Heavenly Market City operates.
It represented not only a difference in aesthetic standards but also different training philosophies.
This time the person picking him up wasn't Uncle Song Youde but Chen Yi, the leader among the young people who had come from the central region last time.
In the previous friendly sparring, Ji Jingqiu had successfully used his strength to make the other party respectfully address him as a senior brother.
"...Hmm, Brother Shi has returned; it is said that he has reached the standard of Bright Moon... No, he didn't participate in the selection competition, but during this trip, he defeated a Bright Moon martial artist head-on..."
From Chen Yi's tone, Ji Jingqiu could sense his respect for Brother Shi.
"What kind of person is Brother Shi?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.
Up to now, the strongest Daoist Ji Jingqiu had seen was Yin Wushuang from the Heavenly Sword Dojo.
The others, like Diao Xingyun, were slightly inferior.
And soon, Brother Shi, as the current Daoist of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, would refresh Ji Jingqiu's circle of friends as a Bright Moon martial artist.
Of course, this had nothing to do with talent, but rather with age.
In the world of martial arts geniuses, being a few months older could mean an insurmountable gap before reaching the stagnation phase of cultivation.
According to Zhuang Yanxing, young martial artists like Brother Shi, who were a bit older and progressed faster, were now striving to polish their cultivation to perfection.
In the end, they would either directly break through to Divine Travel and not participate in the competition for Arrogant Sun or stay where they are, perfecting their spiritual cultivation, and wait for the Great Martial Arts Competition.
"Brother Shi... Hmm, he's the type who at first glance you know is the eldest brother, very steady!"
First glance eldest brother?
Ji Jingqiu pondered, what does the eldest brother character in traditional popular literature look like?
From the driver's seat, Chen Yi responded to Ji Jingqiu's questions while occasionally glancing at him with a bit of admiration.
As young people from the central region, they typically didn't hold their peers from other regions in high regard.
It wasn't really regional discrimination, but more of a sense of superiority to some extent due to environmental cognizance and experience.
But this sense of superiority dissolved in front of the disciples of the Six Great Families.
And the one beside him had just defeated a genius martial artist from the Mu Family a few days ago!
First being the eighth layer, then using the Mu Family disciples as a stepping stone...
If Brother Shi had been born a bit later, maybe Ji would be the Daoist of this dojo generation!
If Ji became the Daoist and inherited the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body, then those online theorizing pundits wouldn't have a reason to doubt Ji's future development likely lagging behind the heirs of top forces...
Entering the Dragon Tiger Dojo for the second time, Ji Jingqiu was greeted by waiting junior brothers and sisters, making him realize once again that he was "different".
He even had "fan brothers and fan sisters" within the dojo.
Recalling the image of an elder brother in popular literature, Ji Jingqiu showed a smile, forcibly assuming a gentle and elegant demeanor.

After parting with the various junior brothers and sisters, Ji Jingqiu followed Chen Yi into the depths of the dojo.
"Ji feels more handsome than Brother Shi!"
"Right, right, Ji is the kind that grows on you, the more you look the more handsome he gets!"
"And his temperament, Brother Shi is too steady, I feel as pressured as when seeing our master... Ji is gentle and modest, charming in every move!"
"Do you think Ji or Brother Shi is stronger?"
"For now definitely Brother Shi, he's much older than Ji."
"Pity, I wonder if Ji will participate in this year's Great Martial Arts Competition..."
Listening to the whispers behind him, Ji Jingqiu almost stumbled, completely losing the "graceful demeanor" he had just managed to accumulate.
With his back to everyone, he rubbed his cheek.
His previous act had left his face a bit stiff.
Brother Shi had a private courtyard within the dojo, his status even above the various dojo instructors.
"Brother Shi, Ji has arrived." Chen Yi called into the courtyard, then said goodbye to Ji Jingqiu and left, looking back three steps at a time.
Ji Jingqiu paused, then strode forward.
Inside the courtyard was a young man sitting cross-legged, with a gaze as unfathomable as a deep pool, calm and revealing a stable and restrained temperament.
Still more intriguing was that this steadiness and restraint didn't seem superficial; rather, it seemed to radiate from his very bones, like a piece of jade that had been polished over time and had finally taken shape.
Naturally, this was the current Daoist of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, Shi Xuanzhen.
He truly had the makings of an elder brother at first glance!
Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, wondering if some people could still say "this young man lacks sharpness" after meeting Brother Shi?
They probably wouldn't dare.
Does the Daoist of the Dragon Tiger Dojo need others to appraise him?
By the same reasoning, to this very day, no one would dare point at him and say that he lacks sharpness.
Ji Jingqiu had recently been following the online debates.
Now he too was considered to be at the forefront of the younger generation.
And even those who questioned his future, wondering if his choice of Cultivation Body would cause him to fall behind the core descendants of powerful forces, had to add a "high probability" or "possibly" to their speculation.
