Chapter 5: The Easy Technique
Chapter 5: The Secret of Getting Away
Xu Chuniang stayed in the lecture room for a whole day, until the sky was completely dark she came back to her senses, it turned out that without realizing it time had passed so quickly.
Originally she thought to go back to the dormitory, but a look at the map, go back to a trip at least two or three hours, this time spent on the road back and forth to five or six hours.
Not to mention that now the sky is already dark, and she is not familiar with the road, the time spent on the way back and forth is only a little more.
Twelve hours a day, excluding the three hours for sleeping and the time spent on the road, there were only three hours left for literacy.
Three hours of learning time may seem like a lot, but it was definitely not enough!
After all, while she was rushing, the others were able to spend more time studying and cultivating.
She had already been pulled apart by the others due to her illiteracy, and she must not let the gap widen!
Xu Chuniang knew deep down that even though she had entered the Easy Sect, her cultivation talent was only average, and there was still a lot to learn.
Not to mention that compared to those disciples of the inner door, even the new disciples in the outer door who came in at the same time as her, there are many who are literate, and there are even several who come from Immortal Cultivation families, have already gone up to the second floor and started to listen to the lectures of the inner door’s uncle.
Just like that Qi Haozhi. Although he didn’t find himself in trouble again after that little girl entered the cabin, Xu Chuniang had a sense of urgency, always feeling that this matter wasn’t going to pass so easily.
She had to put in more effort in order to close the gap between her and those people!
With a clench of her teeth, Xu Chunniang made a bold decision to simply not go back and sleep directly in the lecture room.
Although she was only eight years old, poverty and hunger had made her much more precocious and understanding than her peers. Moreover, having grown up with a reputation for being ugly, it also gave Xu Chuniang a resilience in her bones that would not give in, she was like a weed, even though she was from a lowly background, she had an amazing vitality.
She wants to fight in the shortest possible time to catch up with the gap between those people!
Xu Chuniang woke up at dawning every day, and after simply washing and purifying herself in the backyard of the lecture hall, she began a new day of study.
When she was hungry, she would eat a grain-absorbing elixir, and when she was tired, she would lie down on the table and take a nap for a moment, relying on her amazing willpower and learning ability to absorb new knowledge at a rapid pace, until the night was completely dark at the stroke of dawn, when she collapsed with exhaustion and fell asleep in the lecture room.
The next day was another week of the previous day ……
Such a life might be dull and boring for others, but for her, it was nothing less than a dream.
After all, when she was in the Xu Family Village, Xu Chuniang woke up earlier than a chicken, slept later than a dog, had to do a full day of farm work, and didn’t have enough to eat all day.
In contrast, now that she didn’t have to starve and could still learn her skills, she didn’t feel the slightest bit bitter, but instead enjoyed it.
On this day, Xu Chuniang still stayed in the small teaching room, the puppet small orb in front of her was still explaining the knowledge without knowing the hard work, after speaking for an hour, the small orb fell silent as usual.
Xu Chuniang did not rotate the button as usual to let the little orb continue lecturing, but pressed the pause button, and took out the several books inside from the storage bag.
After this period of time, Xu Chuniang’s progress was lightning fast, and she had almost recognized some of the commonly used words.
She recognized that these books were called the Code of Easy Disciples, the Easy Secrets, and the Encyclopedia of the Cultivation World.
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and first took that book, the Code of Easy Disciples, and flipped through it.
The rules of the Easy Sect weren’t too many, and in half a day’s work Xu Chunniang had skimmed through the thin book. She could understand most of the words, and for the small number of words she didn’t recognize, she knew the general meaning even with a guess.
She put the book away, her heart feeling both proud and emotional, these days’ efforts really weren’t in vain, she really could read and write!
If father and mother and brother knew about it, they would definitely be happy for her as well!
I’m afraid they don’t even know that if you want to be an immortal, you still need to be literate.
Xu Chuniang smiled and took the thickest Encyclopedia of the Cultivation World and flipped through it again.
Just by looking at the table of contents Xu Chuniang knew that this book was not something that could be read in one go, the table of contents alone had more than a dozen pages, encompassing a lot of knowledge about the Cultivation World. However, the detailed catalog also had an advantage, in the future, if she encountered something she didn’t understand, it would be very convenient to look it up.
Casually flipping through the contents of the book, as expected, they were all things Xu Chuniang had never heard of.
Each item was accompanied by a corresponding illustration, and even the details were clearly depicted, truly worthy of being an “encyclopedia”.
Shaking her head, Xu Chuniang put away the Encyclopedia of the Cultivation Realm, and the only thing that remained outside was a copy of the “Secret of Prosperity”.
This was the heart method that outer disciples had to learn. Holding down her excitement, Xu Chuniang gently flipped the pages of the book.
“Getting away with the world’s leisure, while the mind is self-contained, taking the world as the world’s za …… day by day home without restraints, free to get away with it, and can achieve longevity.”
Xu Chuniang blinked her eyes, she recognized every word in here, but together she couldn’t understand a single sentence.
It seemed that only after going to the second floor to listen to those inner door masters teaching and explaining could she figure out the meaning of these words.
A familiar feeling of hunger came over her, and Xu Chuniang simply put away the Easy Technique, skillfully taking out the white jade bottle from her storage pouch, only to find that she couldn’t pour out a single grain-expelling elixir.
It was only then that Xu Chuniang reacted to the fact that she had already been studying in the lecture room for an entire month.
It was time to go to the Meal Hall to receive the grain-preventing elixir, and it just so happened that she had almost finished recognizing words, so starting this afternoon, she would go to the West Courtyard to listen to the General Knowledge class.
After planning out what to do next, Xu Chuniang walked out of the lecture hall and headed towards the food hall.
The dining hall was as cold as ever, Steward Zhao sat in the hall somewhat bored, seeing someone arrive, a hint of a smile appeared on his fat face, “It’s you.”
Obviously, he still remembered Xu Chuniang. After all, this girl’s looks were considered very special.
Locked up in the Lecture Hall for a month to study Xu Chuniang, the rare sight of an acquaintance was also a bit happy, revealing two small dimples, “Senior Brother Zhao is good.”
“You this girl, but than last time looks to be a little more spiritual, face also rosy.”
Steward Zhao looked her up and down, the last time he saw this girl, she was yellow and thin, with a look of severe malnutrition, even her hair was sparse and pitiful, only a pair of eyes were bright and amazing.
This time when I saw her again, she had grown much better, no longer the refugee-like appearance she had before.
Xu Chuniang this month has been busy literacy, did not pay attention to their own looks, at first heard Steward Zhao said so which will believe, just as he was saying polite words, smiled and handed over the token.
After receiving the token and registering it, Steward Zhao handed over the token and a new bottle of grain-preventing elixir.
“How is your literacy? Although literacy is important, cultivation is even more important, if you can almost memorize the ‘Easy Secrets’, then go to the second floor early to listen to the lessons.
I’ve heard that several of the new disciples in your batch have already induced qi into their bodies the other day.”
Xu Chuniang was viciously taken aback, she had only been able to learn the words for the past month, and everyone else had already succeeded in inducing qi into the body, formally embarking on the path of cultivation!
