Chapter 647: Teacher and Disciple
Xu Chuniang’s gaze swept over the bamboo basket carried in the young girl’s hands, “Follow me in.”

The young girl followed into the courtyard, opened the bamboo basket and offered it with both hands.

“This is the bundled tuition, and a small token of my appreciation.”

Xu Chuniang’s face revealed a hint of surprise when she saw the basket full of gold and silver items in the bamboo basket.

To be able to take out so much gold and silver as tuition, it seemed that the young girl’s background was a bit better than she had imagined.

Although these gold and silver goods were no longer meaningful to Xu Chuniang, she still took them and recognized the disciple.

“What is your name?”

“Shen Miaoling.”

“Can you read?”

“My eyes were caused by an accident three years ago, and when I was young my family had hired a gentleman to teach me to read and write.”

Xu Chuniang nodded, “Before you learn boxing and kung fu, I’ll pass on a book of gongfu to you, after reading it, you can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”

Saying this, she punched a spell towards Shen Miaoling’s brow.

Shen Miaoling only felt a pain in her eyebrow, and a gongfu appeared in her mind, which was none other than the Easy Technique.

She slightly opened her mouth wide with an unbelievable look, this kind of method transmission means was simply unheard of.

Shen Miaoling had originally thought that the one she had worshipped was just an ordinary internal expert.

Only now did she realize that this master’s origin was even more astonishing than she had imagined.

After the shock and joy, Shen Miaoling groped for a corner to sit down, and then began to carefully read the newly appeared gongfu in her mind.

Xu Chuniang looked towards Shen Miaoling, with her cultivation, she could naturally see that there was a spiritual root in Shen Miaoling.

She was a five spirit root, and her cultivation speed was slightly slower than others, but as long as she could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, her eyes could be healed without treatment.

Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and continued practicing her sword strokes.

The sword stances taught by the black-robed man looked simple, but learning them wasn’t that easy.

Just the first sword move alone had her stumped.

Xu Chuniang and Shen Miaoling were two people, one practicing the sword, the other studying the arts, the two of them moving and quiet, not disturbing each other.

“Gu Gu ……”

A subtle sound, from Shen Miaoling’s belly, Xu Chuniang came back to her senses, it turned out that it was already noon.

She looked at Shen Miaoling and was about to ask her if she wanted to go home for lunch, but she saw Shen Miaoling take out the oil paper bag she brought in the morning.

She turned her head to look in Xu Chuniang’s direction, holding up the oil paper bag and asked tentatively.

“Would you like to use some? Before I left the house this morning, I purposely cooked an extra cake. It’s a bit colder, but it tastes pretty good.”

Xu Chuniang was about to refuse when she thought of something and nodded, “That’s fine.”

She walked towards Shen Miaoling, took the oil paper bag in her hands, and sat down beside her to eat the cake together.

The cake had long since cooled, but the bite was still crispy and chewy.

After eating half of the cake, Xu Chuniang remembered that she could use her fire aura to warm it up a little, so that it would taste even more flavorful.

Shen Miaoling saw that she wasn’t eating, faintly revealing an apologetic look, “Is it not too appetizing?”

“No, I think it’s not bad, have you finished reading that gongfa that was passed on to you before, is there anything you don’t understand?”

Shen Miaoling was a bit frustrated, “I’m too stupid, I can’t understand many places, I can only vaguely see that by practicing this gongfu, I’ll be able to get away with it.”

“This gongfu is very profound, it’s normal that you can’t understand it for a while.”

Xu Chuniang recalled back to when she first came into contact with the Free and Easy Decree, she was also in the clouds and could not understand it at all.

It wasn’t until she listened to the lectures of her Foundation Building Uncle that she slowly understood.

“There is air in heaven and earth, and air gives birth to all things, but these auras are invisible to ordinary people, and can only be felt by those with spiritual roots when they meditate and settle down.”

Shen Miaoling listened with a seeming understanding, vaguely realizing that she had opened a door to a new world. “First, meditate and settle down to sense spiritual qi, try to establish a connection with these spiritual qi and guide them into your body.

After the spiritual qi has circulated along the spiritual veins for a small circumference and is incorporated into the dantian, then you will be considered to have completed the introduction of qi into your body.

This process, often lasts anywhere from a few days to a few months, don’t be in a hurry, take your time.”

Shen Miaoling nodded, and after eating the cake, she followed the method Xu Chuniang had taught her and couldn’t wait to meditate.

One of the two practiced sword, the other meditated.

After three or four days like this, at noon on this day, Shen Miaoling told Xu Chuniang with an excited face that she had sensed aura.

“There are a total of five colors of aura, I sensed it!”

“Sensing the aura is only the first step, the next step is to harmonize the aura.

You are a five-spirit root, you have to pay extra attention when attuning your aura, you must do so according to the law of the five elements of birth and death.”

Shen Miaoling nodded heavily, she knew that right now, she was only sensing the aura, it was still far from drawing the aura into her body.

So after another ten days or so, Xu Chuniang was practicing sword, suddenly felt a weak fluctuation of spiritual qi, it turned out to be Shen Miaoling successfully induced qi into the body.

Seeing her success, Xu Chuniang slightly hooked her lips.

Before and after only half a month, Shen Miaoling had successfully completed drawing qi into the body.

With her five spirit root qualification, it was very rare for her to be able to achieve this step.

From this, it could be seen that Shen Miaoling was dedicated with her heart.

Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and was about to continue practicing her sword when she suddenly thought of something, and surprise appeared in her eyes.

She had actually forgotten that this was a mortal city with thin spiritual qi, not the Easy Sect with abundant spiritual qi.

The amount of spiritual qi was closely related to the speed of cultivation.

If Shen Miaoling was in the Easy Sect, with the qualification of five spirit roots being able to draw qi into the body within half a month would be considered good.

But this was the mundane world, and the aura would be relatively much thinner.

Logically, she shouldn’t be this fast.

Shen Miaoling got up, a look of surprise on her face, “Master, I did it!”

“Very good, when you meditated and settled down, how much aura did you feel?”

Shen Miaoling thought back for a moment and shook her head.

“There was very little aura, I waited for a long time and absorbed a lot of aura before they barely traveled a small circumference.”

“While waiting, won’t those auras that have been attuned run amok?”

“A little bit, so I was constantly attuning them, establishing a connection with them according to the method taught by my master, and it took a lot of effort, but I finally succeeded.”

Xu Chuniang was silent for a moment, “I understand.”

Shen Miaoling was a bit puzzled, Master said she understood, what did she understand, but she didn’t dare to ask more.

“Introducing qi into the body is the first step in cultivation, the next step is just to draw in aura day after day to raise your cultivation level.”

After Xu Chuniang finished speaking, she carried her sword back under the laurel tree where she had set up a boundary, gazing at the sword in her hand for a long time.

After practicing the sword for many days, she was already able to use the sword moves taught by the black-robed man in a very mature manner.

However, the sword moves that she made out were nothing more than similar in form, and their power was mediocre.

Could it be that she didn’t understand this sword move at all, so it was empty of form but not of spirit?

Xu Chuniang vaguely realized that the sword stance was only secondary.

More importantly, it was to comprehend the sword intent contained in these three to sword moves.
