Ah! Is Master finally going to teach me?
Li Qingran couldn’t describe whether she was excited, anticipatory or nervous.
Ever since she started cultivating under her master, she had hardly ever worried about cultivation.
Ordinary cultivators lack spirit stones, but she has never been troubled by a lack of spirit stones.
Ordinary cultivators lack spiritual energy, but her medium and advanced spirit gathering formations have never stopped every night.
Ordinary cultivators lack resources, but the Chaosheng Formula given by her master perfectly suits her Water Spirit Root.
There are also Primordial Supplement Heaven Pills and various pills guarding her cultivation journey.
For self-defense, she was given the supreme magical tool, Plain String Sword. Even the direct disciples like Senior Sister drool at the sight of her Plain String Sword.
Each volume of the Chaosheng Formula is explained in great detail, easy to understand, with many first-person perspectives in the text. It’s easy to see that there are quite a few insights and reflections from her master. Unlike Qingxuan Daoist, who just gives the most basic copy without any annotations, forcing her to study word by word, wasting a lot of time unnecessarily.
But precisely because everything has been too smooth, she and her master have lost a lot of normal teaching time between teacher and student!
Without personal teaching from the master, a disciple’s journey is incomplete, distorted, and broken.
It’s like a little sapling just sprouting.
She needs her master’s care very much!
Even with plenty of sunlight, without her master’s personal guidance, she cannot grow into a towering tree.
Now the opportunity has finally come, and she will have the chance to experience being taught by her master!
…
Outside the screen—
Chen Huaian looked bewildered at Li Qingran, whose face was flushed pink, wriggling around on the bed.
He didn’t do anything else…
What’s wrong with her?
Does she have fleas on her butt?
Can’t figure it out, but he still transmitted sound:
[Do you have any questions about practicing the Chaosheng Formula?]
Directly asking would be very uncool, so he had to cover it up.
“Disciple… disciple feels like I don’t understand anything.” Li Qingran bit her red lips, lowering her eyes. She wasn’t good at lying, so she felt anxious when she lied, nervously pinching the hem of her clothes as she stammered: “Disciple is dull-witted, and many places require Master’s teachings… Please, please spend some time helping disciple clear doubts.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
He thought, the opportunity has come.
He pretentiously said: [Hm, then let’s start from the first volume. First, tell me your cultivation insights, and I’ll see where the problem lies.]
Li Qingran took a deep breath, thinking she must seize this opportunity.
She had already comprehended the first volume of the Chaosheng Formula.
At this moment, if she directly gave a thorough answer, the master wouldn’t be able to find any problems, so she should make it more elementary, something akin to preliminary understanding, but not too simple, otherwise, it would make her look stupid.
“Disciple will demonstrate for Master.”
Li Qingran followed her own thoughts and sat cross-legged on the bed, making the motions of practicing the Chaosheng Formula.
She deliberately did it slowly, as if hesitating, with an uncertain look on her face.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Huaian outside the screen was furiously taking screenshots and recording videos.
“Ah, so this is how it’s done? Different from how Li Qingran practiced before…”
“The hand gestures I figured out myself were also wrong, no wonder they didn’t work, damn…”
“The visualization was also wrong. Originally, one should visualize yin and yang, but my brain was full of seawater, river water, farmers’ three punches, mineral water, etc., damn…”
After learning the basic preparatory actions fairly well,
Chen Huaian asked again: [Hm, your foundation isn’t solid enough, you need more practice… Next is drawing in qi and refining the body. Show it to your master.]
Li Qingran thought inwardly, no wonder the master saw through her deliberate clumsiness.
Fortunately, the master didn’t realize she was pretending.
If the master were in front of her, her little tricks would definitely not escape notice.
“When the mind is empty and clear, one enters the state of interaction with heaven and earth. At that point, one can see the misty qi between heaven and earth, its color may be white or blue, interwoven and flowing, gathering and dispersing unpredictably. At this moment, the disciple uses intention as a guide, pulling a strand of spiritual energy towards oneself, feeling the cool and gentle qi seep into the Baihui acupoint…”
“As the spiritual energy deepens, it flows along the Conception and Governor Meridians, entering the vortex state, and the spiritual energy will automatically refine the body. At this point, the yin and yang energies press against each other, naturally blending with the two instruments visualized, and then one can feel warmth growing in the dantian. Thus, completing the absorption of spiritual energy into the body, which is the first great cycle of the Chaosheng Formula.”
After finishing, Li Qingran, with a flushed face, bowed deeply to the void: “Disciple is dull-witted, and the understanding of the Chaosheng Formula is still shallow, even crude and inadequate, far inferior to Master… Please, Master enlighten the disciple.”
Chen Huaian: “…”
Just now, Li Qingran’s explanation was like chewing up the first volume of the Chaosheng Formula and feeding it to him mouth-to-mouth.
Is this called partial understanding, crude and inadequate?
Then how poor must his comprehension be?!
Now that Li Qingran is seeking enlightenment, what should he say?
What flavor could he possibly come up with? The best he could manage would be a banana flavor. But now Li Qingran is waiting eagerly, he can’t possibly fool her, right?
Fortunately, he read a lot of novels when he was in school.
He immediately began quoting classics:
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don’t bully the poor youth!”
“When yin and yang reverse and chaos arises, dye the sky with my fiery blood!”
“Uh…uh…”
The void remained silent for a long time.
Li Qingran waited anxiously for a long time, and suddenly a loud voice came from the void, thunderous:
[All things carry yin on their backs and embrace yang, the collision of qi creates harmony. Collision refers to the fusion and agitation of qi, while harmony refers to coordination and balance. Yin resides within, yang manifests externally, they depend on and coexist with each other, inseparable. Rising tides are yang, falling tides are yin, the sun is yang, the moon is yin. The rise and fall of tides, the alternation of the sun and moon, the push and pull of yin and yang. Hence, the harmonious collision forms the order of seasons, the way all things follow the timing to grow, which is the root of all creation and the orderly nature of heaven and earth… Cultivating the Chaosheng Formula should involve understanding this principle, drawing in the harmonious collision of heaven and earth rather than the surface of spiritual energy, refining the body upon entry, thus aligning with the Great Dao and reaching wondrous realms!]
The brighter Li Qingran listened, the brighter her eyes became.
Suddenly, a layer of spiritual light surged around her body.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged like a tide, converging from all directions, as if wanting to converge into one, subtly conforming to the way of yin-yang harmony.
She knew the opportunity was precious, so she immediately embraced unity, concentrated her spirit, and calmed her mind.
Previously, she had just broken through to the base-building stage, and her realm was not yet stable. At this moment, listening to her master’s lecture, her unstable realm instantly became as stable as a rock. Meanwhile, the spiritual energy inside her body surged and grew rapidly, continuing to break through until it broke through the bottleneck and entered the middle base-building stage before gradually slowing down.
She opened her eyes and bowed again to the void, her voice trembling slightly:
“Master generously imparts knowledge, the grace of transmitting the Dao is like recreating the universe, the disciple will surely diligently cultivate and not辜负Master’s expectations!”
After speaking, she performed the three bows of respect.
Just a lecture made her gain enlightenment.
What Master taught her wasn’t ordinary internal skill commentary?
The Master actually fused his understanding of the Dao at the Void Realm with the Chaosheng Formula, chewed it up and spat it out for her!
Li Qingran’s heart burned with fervor, moved beyond measure.
In this era, where can one find a master who cares about his disciples like this?
She must resolve the demonic poison in her master’s body, even at the cost of her life…
…
Beside her, Yue Qianchi woke up startled by Li Qingran’s enlightenment and stared wide-eyed.
Myriad Celestial Venerables! Li Qingran just reached the base-building stage yesterday and has already gained enlightenment to the middle stage today?!
This absurd cultivation speed is simply horrifying!
Looking at Li Qingran who continued to meditate, Yue Qianchi didn’t feel jealous at all, but was instead extremely delighted, voluntarily protecting Li Qingran.
This is her junior sister from the Sword Pavilion after all.
Good job!
…
And as the flying boat continued to fly,
the Sword Pavilion has finally arrived.
The Grand Hall—
“Report! Master, a flying boat is approaching the sect!”
“Flying boat?!” Su Qinian paused while polishing his flying sword, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at the disciple and sternly said: “Then what are we waiting for? Shoot it down!”
