Although Sun Siwen was struggling to catch up with his friend without knowing it.
But when it comes to internal scrolls, Lu Yuan, as the king of scrolls, has never been afraid of anyone.
I wonder which immortal time traveler can fight as hard as he does?
I, an immortal, have been trapped in this way, why don’t you short-lived people be trapped to death by me?
"Even if I can't roll you now, you can roll for a few decades at most, and I can roll for millions of years, so two or three counts as five, and in the end I won the roll."
Lu Yuan felt quite proud.
…
Another half month later, Lu Yan's appointment certificate came. He visited many friends and relatives one by one, and then took up his post with a newly hired servant.
Also coming down was Sun Siwen's promotion appointment letter.
In December, at the most festive time at the end of the year, he was finally promoted to a higher level and became the preacher of Changning County, as he had said before.
The original old teacher will also retire this year. After the handover of work is completed at the end of the year, he will completely retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his old age.
The end of the year is coming soon.
In the last few days before the yamen was closed for rest, Sun Siwen's work was finally handed over.
Being promoted to a higher official rank or a higher rank is naturally a good thing that makes people happy.
Therefore, in the past few days at the end of the year, everyone in the Sun Mansion seemed to be very happy.
Lu Yuan was also happy for his friend.
On New Year's Eve, he even cooked himself, taking over Chun's mother's job, and prepared a large table of New Year's Eve dishes to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
This year is different from previous years.
Here are the three members of the Gu family, master and apprentice Lu Yuan, and Sun Siwen, a total of six people, celebrating the New Year.
After setting off the firecrackers and lighting the fireworks, the new year is here.
After the New Year, Sun Siwen took office as a new official. Naturally, he went non-stop to visit his colleagues in the county. He also met the country gentlemen at home who came to pay New Year's greetings. He was so busy that he never touched the ground.
Lu Yuan was leisurely taking the exam as a disciple, and continued his martial arts training by the way.
Gu Songyun was stimulated by Lu Yan and studied harder. It is said that he even stayed up late at night and read at night.
This curling force almost caught up with Lu Yuan.
Seeing my friends and my disciples start working hard, their careers are booming and their future is bright.
Lu Yuan, who was waiting in front, also felt a little pressure and became even more curled up.
Not only did he spend more time practicing palm skills and internal strength, but he also spent half an hour longer reading Taoist scriptures than before.
In this way, the time he spent studying and practicing martial arts reached seven hours a day, which was terrifying.
Of course, with such diligent efforts, Lu Yuan's cultivation level also increased rapidly, and his understanding of Taoist scriptures also increased rapidly, and he gradually became more and more successful.
…
The New Year is over.
Although he has been promoted to a teaching position, Sun Siwen's main focus is still on teaching students.
As for other work matters of the teachings, most of them are handed over to subordinate officials for execution. He is only responsible for grasping some general directions and does not interfere too much.
The county magistrate naturally supports this, and other people in the county have nothing to say.
Sun Siwen's ability to teach students has been verified many times and has been recognized by everyone.
And if the students he teaches achieve good results, the county magistrate, other county officials, and even the local gentry and wealthy families will all benefit.
Therefore, how could they not support Sun Siwen's choice?
On the contrary, these people were afraid that after Sun Siwen was promoted, he would no longer care about teaching. If the college lost such a good teacher, it would be a loss for Changning as a whole.
Now that Sun Siwen has chosen to continue teaching, they are relieved.
After being promoted and still choosing to stay in the academy, Sun Siwen naturally had his own ambitions.
According to what he and Lu Yuan said, the new evangelist planned to spend a few years trying to train one or two more elites, and then rely on this merit to raise his rank even higher.
Strive to be promoted to the position of county magistrate and become a seventh-rank official within five years. Then he would stay there for another three years, attack his parents, and strive to be the county magistrate.
Lu Yuan, who had already reached this level in the world, naturally expressed his affirmative attitude towards his grand ambition to be promoted to county magistrate within eight years.
He even praised him and encouraged his friends to keep working hard.
Then he turned around and continued to practice hard.
Time flies by like this.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. In June, Zhou Qing, who had been practicing internal strength for half a year and barely opened the two acupuncture points of the first meridian, was finally familiar with the operation of internal strength in the body.
Later, under Lu Yuan's care, he took the blood jade magic medicine and began the breakthrough attack.
The process went smoothly. With the blessing of the blood jade medicine, Zhou Qing's internal strength surged and he broke through the first meridian barrier in an instant. Then it attacked the second meridian, breaking three acupoints in a row, and then the medicinal power dissipated and the breakthrough stopped.
In just one day, what originally took four years to achieve was accomplished by him in an instant.
But this kind of treatment only lasts once.
The blood jade magic medicine has been used up, and Lu Yuan has no stock. If Zhou Qing wants to make a breakthrough, he can only do the same as his master, and practice hard in seclusion.
But Zhou Qing was quite happy about this. He had not been practicing martial arts for long and had not realized how difficult and boring it was. He was currently immersed in the joy of making great progress in his cultivation.
Fortunately, as a master, Lu Yuan still cares about his apprentice.
Therefore, he knew that his disciple's qualifications were average and he would have to work hard for a long time in the future, so he took the initiative to take Zhou Qing to study the Taoist scriptures with him.
At this time, Zhou Qing's talent for understanding, which was mentioned earlier, came into play.
Although he has just learned it, Zhou Qing has made rapid progress. In a short period of time, he has understood the spirit of various key points in the Taoist scriptures.
According to this situation, it may not take two years for his Taoist knowledge to catch up with his master.
This made Lu Yuan very happy.
The apprentice's understanding of the Taoist scriptures is good, and to a certain extent, it can even out the gap in talent and help him improve his cultivation faster.
Moreover, when teaching the Taoist scriptures to his disciples, Lu Yuan also felt like revisiting and sorting out the insights he had learned. It gave him more aspects to his understanding of Taoism and a deeper understanding.
This way.
Not only was he teaching Zhou Qing, but Lu Yuan himself was also learning during the teaching process.
Under the confirmation of these two factors, his knowledge of Taoism and scriptures grew rapidly.
When he recently went to Qingyun Temple to discuss Taoism with Taoist Qi Yun and Kong Yuzhu, Lu Yuan even went back and forth with them for the first time and argued with each other.
Such progress made the two fellow Taoists exclaim "monster", followed by a burst of joy.
In less than a year, they can have a true comrade, and he was taught by himself. Who wouldn't like it?
