Awaken Chapter 156

Kyoto, Great Wei.

Shouren Academy.

Xu Qingnian is studying the spirit measuring talisman in his hand, on which some strange words and some very odd-looking patterns are outlined.

As he had said before, Xu Qingnian had no interest in the Immortal Dao at all.

If the martial arts dao was so poor, how could he expect the immortal dao to have a way out?

However, Xu Qingnian was not interested in the Immortal Dao because he was not willing to cultivate it, but he was still very interested in this art of talisman.

“Why is it possible to use a piece of paper and ask for rain? What exactly is the mystery here? What is the principle again?”

“According to the law of conservation of energy, it shouldn’t be possible to make such a thing in this world.”

“Even if the law of conservation of energy is violated, why are some talismans spirit-measuring talismans and some talismans rain-seeking talismans? This immortal dao is truly mysterious.”

Xu Qingnian pondered in his mind, and instead of using up the spirit measuring talisman, he kept pondering over one thing.

How did these talismans function and how were they cla*sified? On what basis was this the spirit talisman for testing qualifications, and on what basis was that the rain seeking talisman, and where was the division?

Is it in the writing, or in the pattern, or rather in the aura.

These are all questions.

The reason Xu Qingnian studied this was not because he had nothing better to do than to make fertiliser through the Immortal Way approach.

Yes, fertiliser.

Trying to refine fertilizer through normal methods is almost impossible, because Great Wei is still in the agricultural stage, and he doesn’t know anything about industry, so Xu Qingnian can’t even make Great Wei embark on an industrial revolution.

The main thing is that there is a lack of knowledge. When you learn poetry from childhood, even if you forget it, when you become enlightened, you will remember it.

But certain things won’t, for example making ‘electricity’, just this basic thing, Xu Qingnian doesn’t even understand, arts students said hurt.

So the idea of fertilizer, Xu Qingnian could only put his trust in the Immortal Way, and if the Immortal Way couldn’t do it, then the idea would be put to rest completely.

After all, there was no such technology.

After half an hour of research, Xu Qingnian had no clue.

So, Xu Qingnian put the spirit measuring talisman aside, intending to study it when he had time, now that the matter of the waterwheel project had reached a conclusion point.

The three major merchants had sent in various materials and resources, which were distributed among the various prefectures in each county, and then released one by one.

The initial plan was for fifty counties, but now that the Great Wei treasury was full, Xu Qingnian naturally didn’t skimp and increased it to a hundred counties. The empress was a little worried, after all, fifty counties was just right.

The empress was a bit worried, after all, fifty counties was just right. If there were more, it was not because she was afraid that Wei would not be able to afford it, but because she was afraid that someone would interfere.

Xu Qingnian understood the empress’ meaning, she was just afraid that the clan kings would make trouble.

Either way, it would be detrimental to the Great Wei.

Xu Qingnian understood the empress’ concerns, so she also stated her plan.

Spread it out first, then target it.

For now, use as much material as you have, preferably so that there is a waterwheel in every township of Great Wei, but of course, there is no need to erect it where there is sufficient water.

The 50 counties selected by the empress were basically all close to Kyoto, plus some very poor places with very low harvests.

According to Xu Qingnian’s intention, a full version of the waterwheel was placed in all these places, so that the local magistrates could strictly control it and take responsibility for it with their lives.

As for the additional county lands, Xu Qingnian would take out a castrated version of the waterwheel and place it there.

In this way, when the castrated version of the waterwheel appeared in the eyes of these va*sal kings, it would only become a chicken feed, causing them to pay extremely little attention to it.

The purpose of this is simple: to spread the waterwheel project over a large area, even if it is temporarily useless, because when the need arises, the waterwheels will be ready for use.

The only thing that will happen is that there will be more materials, and for the Ministry of Public Works, it will be a matter of moving a hand.

What the empress scorned was the va*sal king.

But what Xu Qingnian was doing was ‘spreading the market’ and paralyzing the clan kings in the process, killing two birds with one stone.

If the clan king discovers the problem, there is nothing to worry about. The clan king will probably think that he is the smartest person in the world, and then secretly repair the waterwheel and secretly start to increase food production with the help of the waterwheel.

The most important materials for the waterwheel are now royal materials, you can use lesser materials, but you don’t have the design and production method.

The most important materials are now all royal materials.

Otherwise, what is the function of the castrati? Is it not to spy on these powerful people?

This was Xu Qingnian’s idea.

Soon, Xu Qingnian began to put pen to paper on a blank page.

The past few days had been busy raising the martial arts realm, and now Xu Qingnian had to formulate a plan for his future.

If he didn’t make a plan, he would be a bit like a headless fly.

[First: the matter of the water cart must be implemented before the end of the month, to gain public opinion as soon as possible, and can break through the realm in this way]

[Second: focus on the development of agriculture in Wei, looking for special food or rice seeds]

Third: Suppress the demon seeds, and at the same time understand the roots of the pagan arts as soon as possible]

[Miscellaneous: Great Wei Wen Gong, King Huai Ning, White Cloth Sect]

Xu Qingnian wrote down his next events like an outline, this was his habit, whenever something big happened, or that he got a different change.

He would write a plan for the future, whether he would make changes and make adjustments, the first thing was the immediate priority, the second thing, the third thing, and then there were some miscellaneous things.

The waterwheel project can’t be delayed any longer, it has to be implemented clearly between the end of the month, and then we can start developing Great Wei agriculture, which, to put it bluntly, means smashing money, now that the merchants have sent their silver, it should be spent.

If you have money, you should spend it. And for Great Wei, spending money is a good thing.

The third thing is to suppress the devil seed in his body, it is almost time, Xu Qingnian intends to draw out the devil seed as he did before, and then use the Wen Gong to suppress it with his own talent, in this way he can also improve his strength a bit, why not? After all, sooner or later, he would have to leave the capital of the Great Wei and go to the outside world to have a stroll.

The next step is to improve your strength honestly, whether it’s Confucianism or martial arts, but if Confucianism doesn’t become a saint, Xu Qingnian won’t leave the Great Wei capital.

As for the martial arts, how can we say a fourth grade, right? This is not very consistent with the inner saint and outer king.

Confucianism saint, martial arts king, one third cla*s and one fourth cla*s, beautiful ah.

Think about it, when he left Great Wei, countless demons were watching him, but then again, they were afraid of his saint realm, so they sent some special demons, or some killers trained by them.

Thinking that they are battle scum, but the next moment, they suddenly strike, the king’s power explodes, hitting the other party by surprise, and then with the power of a saint, inviting the holy Zhu Lian clan.

Is this cool?

No matter whether others were cool or not, Xu Qingnian himself was cool anyway.

So the third thing is about the foreign arts. In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that the waterwheel project had almost been done, the matter of foreign arts would have been ranked first by Xu Qingnian.

There is no other reason.

If you can hide it from the world, you can’t hide it from yourself.

What can the empress know or not know?

What can the Great Wei Palace know or not know?

What can they do if they are kept in the dark? They could hide it from the world, but they could not hide it from themselves.

The scourge of the supernatural arts is extremely difficult.

This cultivation speed was really outrageous and odd, and Xu Qingnian couldn’t understand how the devil seed in his body had been cultivated.

What makes it so strong?

Xu Qingnian could not understand, but what Xu Qingnian understood was that if this foreign art was not eradicated again, it would be very troublesome for him.

“Right now I have become a great Confucian, yet I still cannot completely eradicate these devil seeds of the supernatural arts, is it hard to say that I need to become a saint in order to eradicate them?”

Xu Qingnian muttered to himself in his heart, now that he was a great Confucian, he could suppress the demonic seeds, which Xu Qingnian felt, but it was very difficult to eradicate them.

Therefore, Xu Qingnian somehow felt that if he wanted to eradicate the devil seed, he would have to step into the Saint realm.

After all, he was still completely ignorant of the supernatural arts.

Moreover, this type of book was also forbidden.

The entire world’s books on supernatural arts were all forbidden, but the Great Wei Hidden Scripture Pavilion did have a book on ‘the solution to supernatural arts’, and at first Xu Qingnian was indeed very excited, but later on, he heard the eunuch of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion say that such books were available in many places and were used to fool some fools.

Basically, whoever reads this kind of book, nine times out of ten has practiced the supernatural arts, or knows someone who has practiced the supernatural arts, anyway, it has something to do with the supernatural arts.

Every year, they could catch a few criminals by relying on this book.

So Xu Qingnian wouldn’t dare to look for similar books. Thinking about it, it is forbidden for people under the world to practise the supernatural arts, and the world only knows how terrible they are and what effects they have, but really doesn’t know any other specific information.

This kind of stuff is the forbidden book of forbidden books.

It would be nice if I could know a few people who had practiced the supernatural arts, so at least we could communicate with each other and figure out what to do together, so that I wouldn’t have to suffer alone.

When the thought appeared, Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart, this was completely impossible, people who practiced the supernatural arts were more steady and cautious than one another, this was something that would execute the nine clans.

And everyone doesn’t dare to say anything, just like now a person said to himself that he practiced the supernatural arts and asked himself if he practiced it and if he wanted to work together to find a way to get through the difficult times?

Xu Qingnian is definitely not willing to ride it out ah.

Whether or not the other party is real, please ask me why I should trust you?

What if you swindle me? Then wouldn’t I be out of luck.

So it’s impossible to get together to come up with a solution, you’ll have to figure it out yourself.

Also just as Xu Qingnian was about to deal with other matters, Li Shouming’s voice rang out.

“Teacher, come out quickly, something has happened, something has happened to uncle.”

With Li Shouming’s voice ringing out, Xu Qingnian got up at once.

“Something has happened to my senior brother?”

“What’s going on?”

Xu Qingnian walked out quickly, some curiosity in her eyes.

“Teacher, you go out and take a look.”

Li Shouming didn’t know what to say, he just looked helpless.

Xu Qingnian didn’t say much and walked straight out.

Soon, in the middle of the school hall, Xu Qingnian finally understood what was going on.

They were standing with their arms folded, their eyes were both proud and clear, standing there, neither of them speaking, just looking at each other.

It looked so odd that the other students were at a loss for words.

They didn’t understand, but Xu Qingnian instantly understood, ah.

Isn’t this the meeting of the two proud kings, no wonder they said something.

Chen Xinghe’s character, Xu Qingnian knew, was very arrogant, don’t look like he didn’t have much ability, but it didn’t stop him from being arrogant.

Xu Qingnian was not familiar with Lu Ziying’s character, but through today’s encounter, Xu Qingnian still felt that this Lu Ziying was also very arrogant.

The only thing is that his senior brother is a bit of a crotch puller, while Lu Ziying still has some real skills.

This wave, this wave is two kings of P***ies competing against each other.

And with Xu Qingnian’s appearance, finally Chen Xinghe’s voice rang out.

“Your Excellency is?”

Chen Xinghe inquired.

“I, Lu, a true disciple of the Tai Shang Immortal Sect and the number one in immortal dao qualifications, Lu Ziying.”

Lu Ziying said proudly and incomparably.

And Chen Xinghe’s voice also rang out.

“I am Chen Xinghe, the number one Confucian Daoist in Qiushan County, ranked twenty-ninth in the Great Wei New Dynasty Prefectural Examination, my senior brother Xu Qingnian.”

Chen Xinghe slowly introduced himself, the previous are okay to say, the last sentence is a bit ……. Inexplicably arrogant.

The last sentence is a bit arrogant.

“Xu Qingnian is your senior brother?”

Lu Ziying was slightly curious, but the next moment, he saw Xu Qingnian.

Following Lu Ziying’s gaze, Chen Xinghe couldn’t help but look over as well, and after realizing that his senior brother had arrived, Chen Xinghe’s expression became even more arrogant.

Although he didn’t know who Lu Ziying was, once this guy came, there was somehow an indescribable feeling of ……. the feeling of an old enemy.

Therefore, he looked at Lu Ziying, who also looked at him, and if it weren’t for the fact that Shouren Academy was his senior brother’s home turf, he probably wouldn’t have spoken up first.

“Senior brother!”

“Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian bowed towards Chen Xinghe, this was senior brother worshipping his own senior brother, while to Lu Ziying Xu Qingnian slightly arched his hand, the politeness between friends.

“En.”

Chen Xinghe nodded, while his heart was still quite touched, after all, his own senior brother in front of outsiders, gave himself enough face ah, good senior brother ah.

As for Lu Ziying, he did not say anything in reply, but looked at Xu Qingnian and said.

“Brother Xu, I have finished my work and have come here specially to pa*s on your immortal magic.”

Lu Ziying was very pushy and spoke with a pushy air, pa*sing on the Immortal Technique was coming.

When Xu Qingnian heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little helpless in his heart, why did they all love to pretend to be so bleeped these days.

“I’m grateful to Brother Lu, it’s just as well that I can talk to Brother Lu about Confucianism and progress with each other.”

Xu Qingnian wasn’t being calculating, he just had to say what he had to say, it wasn’t like he really wanted to practise immortal magic, he was just interested.

If it wasn’t for agricultural production, Xu Qingnian wouldn’t even have bothered to study this object.

“En.”

Seeing Xu Qingnian like this, Lu Ziying did not say anything more, but only replied indifferently.

And Chen Xinghe couldn’t help but be curious.

“Senior brother, why are you studying immortal arts for a good reason? This is not a good thing to learn, although it is not as good as Confucianism, but you are at your peak right now, if you are distracted from practicing immortal arts, I am afraid it will only affect you.”

Chen Xinghe said with some concern.

But when this was said, Lu Ziying became somewhat unpleasant.

“What your Excellency said is somewhat prejudiced, why is the Immortal Dao inferior to the Confucian Dao? Since ancient times, there have been people of the Immortal Dao who have become Confucian, but there have never been people of the Confucian Dao who have become Immortal.”

Lu Ziying was indeed not too happy, before I despise your Confucianism, you Confucianism despise our Immortal Dao first?

When this was said, Chen Xinghe couldn’t help but frown.

“But since ancient times, saints transcend everything and are beyond any one cla*s, is this something that Your Excellency does not know?”

Chen Xinghe was stubborn with the other party.

Once he saw this situation, Xu Qingnian hastily rounded up the situation.

“Senior Brother, Brother Lu, both the Immortal Dao and the Confucian Dao are different and have their own distinctive features, so we should not argue about such useless matters.”

“Come, come, come, enter together.”

Xu Qingnian did not want to offend Lu Ziying, nor could he damage his senior brother’s face, so he could only come out to round things up.

With Xu Qingnian speaking like this, there was nothing more for the two to say, and they went inside with Xu Qingnian.

As for the other disciples, they did what they had to do, but they were also whispering in secret, as if they had heard of Lu Ziying’s origins.

Inside the room.

Xu Qingnian made tea for the two of them, while Chen Xinghe and Lu Ziyoung sat looking at each other.

The room was quiet, somehow indescribable and extremely strange.

It was also at this moment that Lu Ziying saw the spirit measuring talisman on the table and could not help but speak.

“Brother Xu, have you not tested your qualifications yet?”

Lu Ziying asked.

“Oh, I had official business to attend to when I returned, so I didn’t test it for the time being, Brother Lu happens to be here, so I will test it in front of Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian had started working on this spirit measuring talisman, so he had not tested his qualifications.

It was just as well that Lu Ziying was also here, so after the test, he could let Lu Ziying take a look at it.

“Good.”

Lu Ziying gave a reply, while Chen Xinghe looked a little curious.

And Lu Ziying’s voice also rang out.

“Generally speaking, the blood-drop method of spirit testing is the most direct and effective.”

“When the blood touches the spirit testing talisman, five colours will be produced, white, red, blue, purple and gold, the better the qualification, the darker the colour.”

“Of course there is another colour that is extremely special, coloured qualifications, divided into three colours, five colours and the rumoured nine colours.”

“Nine colours are the qualifications of an immortal, so I am lucky to be the colour of nine colours, and I think Brother Xu’s qualifications should be around gold.”

“As long as you have blue qualifications, you are suitable for immortal cultivation, below blue, you won’t be able to.”

Lu Ziying explained for Xu Qingnian, while not forgetting to praise himself.

It made Chen Xinghe at the side inexplicably a little irritated, testing a qualification and making such a fancy name for it.

But he said this in his heart, but not in the open, so that Lu Ziying would not think that he was sour.

After listening to Lu Ziying’s words, Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything.

He took the spirit testing talisman directly and forced out a drop of blood from his index finger and dropped it on top of the talisman.

Xu Qingnian’s blood, however, was slightly golden and somewhat unusual.

At that moment, Chen Xinghe and Lu Ziying could not help but look towards this spirit testing talisman, wanting to see what Xu Qingnian’s qualifications were.

Only when the blood fell on the spirit testing talisman, in an instant it was like a flame, and the whole talisman instantly burned clean and turned into clouds of smoke.

In an instant, the crowd was silent.

Xu Qingnian was also frozen.

Ha?

What did this mean?

The spirit measuring talisman destroyed itself?

Xu Qingnian was a little confused.

He looked curiously at Lu Ziying, who also froze a little.

What the hell was this?

Lu Ziying had been cultivating immortality for so many years, but he had never seen such a situation before, even if the spirit measuring talisman had failed, but what did it mean by self-destruction?

“Brother Lu, this?”

Xu Qingnian asked curiously.

“Maybe there is something wrong with this spirit measuring talisman, Brother Xu try this one again.”

Lu Ziying took out a second spirit measuring talisman, he had never seen this before either, so he could only reply like this.

“Good.”

Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything and tested it again.

Another drop of golden blood, and when the blood didn’t enter the spirit testing talisman, the exact same thing happened again.

The Spirit Testing Talisman had destroyed itself.

“This can’t be.”

“I’ve never heard of a spirit testing talisman destroying itself.”

“Brother Xu, try again.”

Lu Ziying really couldn’t be calm this time, this situation was unprecedented and had never been recorded even in books.

So he took out the third one.

But the result was still the same as before, the third spirit measuring talisman self-destructed again.

“Again!”

“Come again!”

“Brother Xu, continue.”

“Hurry.”

“Come on!”

“Brother Xu, for the last time.”

“Brother Xu, I promise it’s the last time.”

“Brother Xu …….”

As the spirit measuring talisman destroyed itself over and over again, Lu Ziying’s entire body was confused, what the hell was going on here?

This doesn’t make sense ah?

Where had such a thing ever happened? It was unheard of.

One by one, the spirit measuring talisman was taken out of his hand, and in the end, Chen Xinghe’s voice rang out.

“Come again? My senior brother’s blood is almost drained.”

“Your Excellency is a bit eccentric, isn’t he?”

Chen Xinghe really couldn’t hold back anymore, one by one the spirit measuring talisman destroyed itself, Xu Qingnian was forced out drop by drop, a few drops of blood was fine, how many F**king drops of blood was this?

How many more drops of blood? This is a new future saint, so there is no room for error.

“The first thing you need to do is to get a little bit of blood.

Xu Qingnian didn’t care about this little bit of blood, he could completely create his own blood, and he was also curious about what was going on, how did the spirit measuring talisman keep destroying itself?

“Good.”

“Please rest a*sured, Your Excellency, Lu has no other ulterior motives whatsoever.”

Lu Ziying nodded, while informing Chen Xinghe that he had no crooked intentions.

A new round of tests followed.

A quarter of an hour later.

All of Lu Ziying’s spirit testing talismans were gone, a hundred spirit testing talismans, all of them used up.

Inside the room, the three people froze in place incomparably quietly, not really knowing what to say.

“Weird! Weird! Weird!”

“It’s too odd, nothing like this has ever happened before.”

“Even the worst qualification is not so bad as to say that it makes the spirit measuring talisman self-destruct.”

“I’m going to ask my master.”

“No, Master is no longer in Kyoto, what should I do?”

Lu Ziying muttered, he was really puzzled, why was an ordinary spirit testing talisman useless after testing it so many times?

What kind of person was this Xu Qingnian?

Could it be that her qualifications were extremely low?

It was possible.

Why wasn’t she extremely qualified? Is that possible? Wasn’t it himself, Jiucai, who had extremely high qualifications?

And why would a spirit measuring talisman destroy itself? That didn’t make sense either.

So Lu Ziying couldn’t help but think that Xu Qingnian’s qualifications were very poor.

It was so bad that it was outrageous.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziying spoke up.

“The only possibility is that Brother Xu is not suitable for immortal cultivation.”

He did not say it in a particularly unpleasant manner, it was still rather euphemistic.

But once this was said, Xu Qingnian was not angry to the point that it was Chen Xinghe who was extremely displeased.

“Why can’t you say that my senior brother is extremely suitable for cultivating immortality and the spirit measuring talisman can’t test my senior brother’s qualifications?”

Chen Xinghe was a little upset?

Although he said that he did not want his senior brother to cultivate the Immortal Dao, distracting himself and gaining strength, he did not allow anything to be said about his senior brother.

When this was said, Lu Ziying frowned slightly.

But after thinking about it he did have some prejudice, so he sighed and said.

“It’s that I, Lu, have spoken a bit partially, I hope that Brother Xu will not take it to heart.”

Lu Ziying said so.

“No matter, it’s a small matter.”

“Senior brother, senior brother has good Confucian Dao qualifications, and it is normal for him to have poor Immortal Dao qualifications, in fact there is no need to argue about this.”

Xu Qingnian spoke out, he was actually not surprised by this result.

There was no other reason, since he was such a bully in the Confucian Dao, how could he still be strong in the Immortal Dao?

Moreover, his own martial arts qualifications were also poor, so it was only natural that his immortal dao was poor, which made sense.

There is no such thing as omnipotence in this world.

“That’s not necessarily true, maybe there is something wrong with someone’s spirit measuring talisman.”

Chen Xinghe spoke up, it was good that his senior brother was modest and euphemistic, but he couldn’t let people take advantage of him.

He had to say something.

It was just that when he said this, Lu Ziying was really a bit upset, but after thinking about what Chen Xinghe said, he was also right.

In the end, he clenched his teeth and said.

“In this way, there is actually another way to test out if Brother Xu is suitable for immortal cultivation.”

Lu Ziying spoke out, stating the second test method.

“Oh? What other method is there?”

Xu Qingnian asked curiously.

“It won’t be another blood drop, right?”

Chen Xinghe also followed suit and spoke.

“No.” Lu Ziying shook his head, before getting up and picking up a paper and pen, quickly dropping words on the paper and pen.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Ziying picked up the paper and handed it to Xu Qingnian, saying.

“This is the Supreme Immortal Sect’s supreme qi inducing method, instead of various tests, why don’t you just try to cultivate it?”

Lu Ziying stated the second method.

But this method, you don’t say, really works.

Practice was the only way to identify the truth.

Xu Qingnian did not accept the spell, but looked at Lu Ziyoung and said.

“This kind of sect’s heart method shouldn’t be taken out by definition, right?”

Although Xu Qingnian did not understand the rules of the Immortal Dao, she had also read some novels ah, and knew that Immortal cultivation sects were extremely attached to their heart methods, and if they leaked them out they might get into some trouble.

“There are such rules, but Lu Mou is a true disciple, plus Brother Xu is also a great Confucian scholar, plus this is just a basic method of inducing Qi.”

“So there won’t be any problems.”

Lu Ziying explained clearly.

As a true disciple, there was nothing wrong with him taking out the basic heart method, and Xu Qingnian was a great Confucian scholar, so even less would go wrong.

With the three being united, such rules would not matter.

“Alright, in that case, then thank you, Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian thanked.

And Lu Ziying shook his head, “No need to thank you, it’s mainly because the spirit measuring talisman went wrong, I can’t say much about it, it’s best to practice.”

“But there are a few things that I still want to say, brother Xu, listen well.”

Lu Ziying spoke up, he was not because he wanted to help Xu Qingnian, but he was afraid that Chen Xinghe would have some misunderstanding about him.

He was the first genius of the Immortal Dao, if he was misunderstood by such a person, wouldn’t he be a disgrace?

“Please speak, Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian washed his ears and said.

“First, to cultivate immortal magic, one must not force it, and if one encounters an obstacle, one must not force it, or else it will cause great injury to one’s body.”

“Second, to cultivate the immortal law, one must not force an epiphany, one needs to comprehend it slowly, once one has comprehended it, one can try to cultivate it, if one cannot comprehend it, one must not attempt it, otherwise there will be even greater problems.”

“Thirdly, immortal cultivators pay attention to the law of destiny, if there is no destiny, one must not force it, if there is destiny, the cultivation will be smooth.”

Lu Ziying said seriously, pointing out these three problems.

When this was said, Xu Qingnian pondered seriously, while Chen Xinghe pondered a bit and could not help but speak.

“Isn’t this a meaning? After all is said and done, it’s just that having qualifications is fine, but not if you don’t have them.”

Chen Xinghe frowned and said.

“Right, this is how immortal cultivation is like, with qualifications a thousand miles a day, without qualifications, a thousand days a mile.”

Lu Ziying said proudly.

Xu Qingnian let out a bitter laugh, and he did not want to participate in the two’s tussles.

Instead, he turned his attention to this method of immortal cultivation.

Lu Ziying’s writing was not very good, but it was still relatively neat, so Xu Qingnian looked at it carefully and read it word by word.

After about a while, Xu Qingnian fell into deep thought.

This was the qi-attraction method.

The first stage of the Immortal Dao was called ‘Attracting Qi’.

Attracting the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into the body to nourish the physical body.

Like the first realm of a martial artist, it was all about consolidating the flesh body.

The fleshly body is the root of everything.

The cultivation method was thousands of words long, but Xu Qingnian had finished reading it in less than half an hour and understood it instantly.

Of course Xu Qingnian did not feel that he was well qualified, after all, as a great Confucian scholar himself, how could he not be able to read this thing.

“Brother Lu, I’ve finished reading it.”

Xu Qingnian handed the latter the Dharma Gate and said with a faint smile.

“Just finished reading it?”

“Brother Xu, no more reading?”

Lu Ziying was a little surprised, it had only been half an hour and Xu Qingnian had finished reading it?

“No need, I’ve already read it, thanks a lot Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian said with a smile, he had really read it.

But when he said this, Lu Ziying could not help but frown and speak.

“Brother Xu, I know that Brother Xu is a great scholar, but the Immortal Dao must not be taken lightly, it needs to be watched carefully, and it needs to be understood clearly.”

“Brother Xu, it’s useless for you to look at it, you need to take it seriously and understand it.”

Lu Ziying persuaded, not otherwise, he had no problem giving Xu Qingnian the Heart Method to look at, but if Xu Qingnian had developed a contemptuous mind.

That would be a problem.

Really want to cultivate cultivation accident, a great Confucian by their own pit, only afraid that the Great Wei empress will definitely not spare himself, his own master will not spare himself ah.

“I really read it, brother Lu, I really didn’t lie to you.”

Xu Qingnian really did understand it, he was at least a great Confucian, he couldn’t possibly not even understand this, right?

You said I have poor cultivation qualifications, I can accept that, but you said I have poor reading comprehension, I really can’t accept that.

Besides, after reading novels for so many years, I know how to understand everything.

It’s just a matter of inducing Qi into the body.

When he heard Xu Qingnian say this, Lu Ziying was still a bit uneasy, but at that moment, Chen Xinghe was a bit unhappy.

He directly picked up this piece of Dharma and swept it slightly, and after reading it for about a short while, he couldn’t help but put it down.

“You still can’t read this? Brother Lu, are you looking down on my senior brother too much?”

“Even I, an unranked Confucian, can read and understand it, my senior brother, an absolute great Confucian, still can’t understand it?”

Chen Xinghe opened his mouth and said in a somewhat unpleasant manner.

Of course he was bragging a little because he hadn’t read it, but he had memorised all the teachings in his mind.

After all, one could still do it without forgetting anything.

“Alright, Brother Lu, let’s have some tea first.”

Xu Qingnian opened his mouth and told Brother Lu to have a sip of tea first and not to dwell on this thing.

Seeing Xu Qingnian like this, Lu Ziying could not help but sigh, he wanted to say something, right, but did not know what to say.

After taking a sip of tea, Xu Qingnian spoke up.

“Brother Lu, Xu Mou is now going to try the method of immortal cultivation, if it really doesn’t work, then forget it.”

Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, it didn’t matter whether he cultivated immortality or not, just try it out, when it’s a new attempt, if it doesn’t work, forget it.

The main thing to talk about was still about the Dao of Runes.

“Brother Xu, I personally suggest that it is better not to be so hasty, do you want to take another look?”

Lu Ziying still wanted Xu Qingnian to take another closer look ah.

Brother, half a quarter of an hour, and you’ve read it?

Do you want to be so perfunctory?

This is immortal cultivation ah.

“Brother Lu, Xu Mou is a great Confucian.”

Xu Qingnian was a little depressed and could only affirm that he was a great Confucian.

The latter was silent.

After all, Xu Qingnian had said this much, so there was nothing he could say.

“Brother Xu, then you should try to cultivate it, not enough must be remembered, if it doesn’t work, you must not force it.”

“The process of inducing qi, normally it takes a month, brother Xu is not in a hurry to induce qi into the body first, just try to sense qi, sense the spirit qi, even if it is good.”

“Of course, sensing Qi also takes a certain amount of time, as fast as a day, as slow as a month.”

“Lu is average, sensing Qi in one day and inducing Qi in three days.”

Lu Ziying said so, since Xu Qingnian forced himself to cultivate, there was nothing he could do, and at the same time he did not forget to brag about himself.

Three days to induce Qi, how much did it shock the sect at first?

Although it was not said to be the fastest ever to induce Qi, it could still be ranked among the top, with no contemporary rivals.

“Understood, many thanks to Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian gave a slight bow towards Lu Ziying, no matter what, the other party pointed out his immortal dao, he still had to pay his respects.

“Forget it, I’ll just stand by and guard the Dharma, and lest Brother Xu make any mistakes.”

Seeing how modest and polite Xu Qingnian was, Lu Ziying gradually gained some goodwill towards Xu Qingnian, so he took the initiative to offer to protect Xu Qingnian.

“Very well, thanks a lot Brother Lu.”

Xu Qingnian nodded, it was indeed good to have an Immortal Daoist Heavenly Proud to protect him, in case something really went wrong, the other party could also step in immediately.

It was an extra safeguard.

“Alright, Brother Xu, please.”

Lu Ziying got up and made way for Xu Qingnian.

“En.”

Xu Qingnian got up and walked towards the door of the room.

He made his way to the inner courtyard, which was relatively quiet and the students were all studying in the outer courtyard.

At this moment.

Xu Qingnian was bathed in sunlight, sitting cross-legged and beginning to cultivate immortality.

For immortal cultivation, Xu Qingnian just wanted to try and experiment, and it would definitely be beneficial to learn more about it.

As the sunlight sprinkled down.

Xu Qingnian closed his eyes tightly and began to cultivate.

The Tai Shang Qi Diversion Method.

It was the basic method for the tenth grade ‘Qi Induction’ realm of the Immortal Dao.

There were a total of three variations.

‘Sensing Qi’, ‘Attracting Qi’ and ‘Nascent Qi’

Sensing Qi.

Introduce Qi.

Incorporating spiritual qi.

At that moment, Xu Qingnian tentatively ran through the magic tricks and began to cultivate bit by bit.

As for Lu Ziying, who was not far away, he took out a magic talisman and quickly dropped words on it.

It was unheard of for a spirit measuring talisman to self-destruct, and this matter had to be told to his master.

He did not believe that there was something wrong with the spirit measuring talisman, but that there was something wrong with Xu Qingnian.

But as to what the problem was, he did not know.

Let’s see if his own master would know.

The next moment.

The talisman disappeared and turned into a light.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze fell on Xu Qingnian now.

Looking at Xu Qingnian, Lu Ziying was a little helpless, he did not look down on Xu Qingnian, but he knew too much about immortality cultivation.

Less than half a quarter of an hour to read through the Tai Shang Qi Induction Method, can this be understood?

When it is really some …… Not respecting the immortal path ah.

Hey, Master even told me to learn more from him?

If you are this impatient, you are not destined to cultivate immortality.

So thought Lu Ziying.

And so, time pa*sed little by little.

A quarter of an hour.

Two quarters.

Three quarters of an hour.

A full three quarters of an hour.

Xu Qingnian gradually entered the state.

It was also in this instant that Xu Qingnian sensed …… A qi.

No, to be more precise, it wasn’t a single strand of Qi, but a myriad of daoqi that wandered between heaven and earth.

“Is this spiritual qi?”

Xu Qingnian was a little surprised, martial cultivation was the physical body, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

And this spiritual qi was somewhat mysterious ah.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingnian did not hesitate and directly tried to draw Qi into his body.

When the spiritual qi entered his body, Xu Qingnian also became a little nervous.

Because according to the method, the most difficult thing about drawing Qi into the body was not that it was impossible to guide it, but that after the Spiritual Qi entered the body, it needed to go through a small circumference, and when it was running through the small circumference.

It would automatically collapse at any time.

That was why Xu Qingnian was a little nervous.

It was another three quarters of an hour later.

Finally, the spirit qi had completed a full week in the body.

The introduction of Qi was complete.

The next moment was the most crucial step.

Nourishing the body with Qi.

Let the aura automatically collapse, thus spreading throughout one’s body.

This is the completion of a basic cultivation.

As long as it was completed once, going forward, the absorption of spiritual qi would automatically run its course and complete the Tenth Grade Initiation.

Boom!

As the aura collapsed, a slight boom sounded, and in the next moment, this aura turned into hundreds of strands, spreading throughout all the bodily parts.

The relief was incomparable.

Moreover, Xu Qingnian instantly felt that his fleshly body had also become a shade stronger, although it was only a shade, there was a significant growth.

What a good guy, immortal cultivation could also be complemented by the martial dao?

Xu Qingnian was a little surprised.

And it was at this moment.

Xu Qingnian had also completed his entry into the rank in the process.

Before and after ……. It was exactly one hour.

It was just that the public opinion and holy intent within Xu Qingnian’s body blocked others from prying eyes.

Lu Ziying could not see through it at all.

His eyes were still filled with worry.

Swish.

The next moment.

Xu Qingnian opened her eyes.

Looking at Xu Qingnian opening her eyes, Lu Ziying breathed a sigh of relief as he subconsciously thought that Xu Qingnian had encountered an obstacle and had therefore stopped cultivating.

But just as he was about to utter a word of comfort.

Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.

“Brother Lu.”

“I ……. have entered the grade.”
