Chapter 6 – Lecture by the Foundation Building Master
Chapter 6: Lecture by the Foundation Master
Although Xu Chuniang did not understand what it means to draw qi into the body, but as early as in the flying boat, she heard the leading senior mentioned, this is the first step on the road of cultivation for everyone, not so easy to cross.
For those with poor talent and low enlightenment, some would even take half a year to succeed.
After thanking Steward Zhao, Xu Chuniang hurriedly grabbed the token and the grain-preventing elixir and ran towards the lecture hall, she had to finish the general knowledge class earlier.
After Xu Chuniang returned to the Hall of Instruction, she dove headfirst into the West Courtyard and listened to the general knowledge lessons.
In terms of fun, these general knowledge classes were much more interesting than the literacy classes, and the lessons were all about some very basic things, which, along with the teaching images, were simple and easy to understand.
It was also in the West Courtyard, through a small metal orb, the world of Immortal Cultivation, bit by bit, unveiled its mystery to Xu Chuniang ……
It was only after a full seven days that Xu Chuniang finally finished listening to all the general knowledge lessons, her eyes glowing with light and still somewhat unfulfilled.
“I didn’t expect the world of immortals to have so many novelties, in addition to the mind techniques we must learn, we can also pick gong methods to cultivate, and there are also all sorts of spirit weapons, some capable of attack, some capable of defense ……
On top of that, you can also select spiritual plants, puppets, formations, talisman seals, alchemy, beast control and other directions for directed study, so as long as you learn the specialization, you won’t have to worry about the gang tribute tasks in the future ……”
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in her heart, she hadn’t even officially started cultivating yet, this magical world would only be officially opened to her after she embarked on the path of cultivation.
The next thing she had to do was to go to the second floor to listen to the lessons, and to draw qi into her body at an early date!
Early the next morning, Xu Chuniang went up to the second floor early with an excited mood.
The lecture room on the second floor was much larger than the first floor, able to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
Apart from the “Heart Technique” room, which guided the new disciples in their cultivation, the other rooms had “Spiritual Plants”, “Royal Beasts”, “Arts and Techniques”, “Talismans”, and “Symbols” written on them. “Spiritual Plants”, “Beast Control”, “Art Techniques”, “Talisman Seals”, “Weapon Refining” and so on, all taught by the inner sect’s Foundation Establishment Masters.
Xu Chuniang retracted her gaze and walked into the “Mind Technique” teaching room.
After entering the lecture room, to Xu Chuniang’s surprise, there were actually already two or three figures inside, sitting cross-legged on the same spot, seeing that someone had come in, they merely turned their heads to look at them and then withdrew their gaze, continuing to meditate with their eyes closed.
Xu Chuniang’s face moved slightly, it seemed that while she was working hard, the others weren’t idle either.
She found a corner and followed the example of a few people and sat down with her eyes closed and her knees crossed, waiting for the arrival of the inner sect master ……
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chuniang was dozing off in a daze when a clamor woke her up.
Only to see that the lecture room had been filled with people at some point, and all of these people had crowded to the doorway and window, stretching their necks to look out.
Xu Chuniang followed the crowd’s line of sight and looked out, and when she saw the scene outside, she dozed off immediately and ran away, and there was actually a white-robed man in a sword coming from outside!
She had seen this scene in the Western Academy’s general knowledge class, and didn’t expect to see it so soon in reality.
The sword is the inner door of the foundation master uncle, but he jumped off the sword, but did not come over, but into the side of a written “imperial beast” name of the lecture room.
Not long after the arrival of this inner sect master who was teaching the “Royal Beast” course, there were several other figures who came with their swords, and one of them jumped off the flying sword and walked towards their lecture room.
When the new disciples saw the Foundation Establishment Master come over, they hurriedly ran to their seats and sat down, but their expressions could not hide their excitement.
“The one who came to lecture today is Senior Uncle Gu! It only took Uncle Gu thirty years to go from practicing qi into the body to foundation building, even among the inner sects, such speed is extremely fast.”
“Uncle Gu’s lessons have always been vivid and lively, from the shallow to the deep, so I didn’t come today for nothing.” “Silence, Uncle Gu is about to start, violating discipline in his classroom will get you kicked out of the lecture room!”
Xu Chuniang heard the comments of the people around her, and realized that this senior uncle was surnamed Gu, and his cultivation talent was extraordinary. She didn’t wait for her to listen in detail, but she saw the disciples all looking serious and sitting up, and she subconsciously sat up straighter and perked up her ears.
Gu Yuanan scanned the lecture room and nodded with satisfaction.
“Below we begin the lesson. Last time, we talked about heaven and earth having air, and air giving birth to all things.
It means that there is aura in heaven and earth, and all things are born from aura, but aura is invisible and untouchable, and can only be felt when we cultivate after we draw qi into our bodies.
And aura is not a single kind of substance, it has attributes, when you guys tested, you all know your own spiritual root attributes, right?”
Gu Yuanan paused and swept his gaze across the crowd of disciples in the room, seeing them nodding before continuing.
“In addition to the five common attributes of Jin, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and the three mutated attributes of Wind, Thunder, and Ice, there are also some other attributes of Reiki, but I won’t talk about them here, you guys just need to memorize these eight right now.
When you guys are cultivating, you are able to attract the aura in the heaven and earth, and in general, you will be more likely to attract the aura that is consistent with your spiritual veins.
For example, a person with three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and water, when he cultivates, the three types of spiritual qi that he attracts will be in the majority, and the other five will be a bit less.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be the case that disciples with four spirit roots and five spirit roots would be able to attract more types of auras instead?” A disciple raised a question.
Gu Yuanan glanced at the disciple who had asked the question, “That’s right, if a Five Spiritual Root cultivates, he will attract the five types of spiritual qi: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
However, the speed of cultivation won’t increase because of the number of types of aura attracted, rather, it is precisely because a five spirit root disciple needs to harmonize the five types of aura when they cultivate that they are the slowest instead.
Whereas single spirit root disciples cultivate because they only absorb a single aura, they don’t even need to reconcile the auras they can directly absorb them, so their cultivation speed is the fastest.”
It dawned on the disciples that no wonder single spirit root and double spirit root disciples had entered the inner sect.
They didn’t need to harmonize their aura or had less aura to harmonize, so their cultivation speed would be much faster compared to the others.
A portion of the disciples revealed a dejected look, most of them were disciples with four or even five spirit roots.
Many of the disciples with three spirit roots were secretly happy, although they weren’t as good as single or double spirit roots, they weren’t too bad either.
“Five spirit root disciples don’t have to be presumptuous, after all, when it comes to the learning of arts, five spirit roots have an incomparable advantage, being able to learn the five element related arts faster.”
Gu Yuanan took in the crowd’s expressions and spoke faintly.
“Although a Five Spirit Root cultivator’s progress is slow, if he is able to master five aura-related arts at the same time, he can have a considerable advantage in actual combat.
It’s just that it’s tough for five spirit root disciples to cultivate in the early stages, and very few of them are able to persevere until they reach Foundation Establishment, that’s all.
However, most of the Five Spiritual Roots cultivators who were able to establish their foundations possessed practical combat abilities that far exceeded those of other cultivators.
In short, there are thousands of opportunities on the path of Immortal Cultivation, and there are quite a few Five Spiritual Roots disciples with Immortal Fate; the founding ancestor of our Easy Sect was a powerful Five Spiritual Roots cultivator.”
