As for the difference in the morning in Hengyun World, Zhao Chun felt that it was probably because the air was fresher.
Pushing open the Xuan window, the three senior sisters had already received their errands and left. Yesterday happened to be the end of January, so they had a day off. Normally, they would have to go out before dawn and return after sunset.
With so many hours taken up every day, the pace of practice naturally slows down. The handymen are diligent and diligent, and only have fifteen stones in a month. Life is tight, so I have to continue to work hard, day after day. The sun sinks.
Zhao Shun closed his eyes and concentrated, sighing.
"Why are you sighing all the time?" Zhou Pianran pushed the door out of the room and invited, "Let's go have breakfast first. After that, we still have classes."
There are two types of preparatory disciples: large classes and small classes. Small classes are taught twice a month and are taught by disciples who have officially started. Large classes are held once every ten days and are taught by elders in the foundation building period.
It was the first day of the new year, and there was a small class that started at Chen hour and lasted until the end of Wei hour, with no breaks in between.
The teaching location is in the classroom at the back of the disciples' quarters. The disciples of Feihu Small World are divided into thirty-nine courtyards. Each courtyard has a thousand people, and the seats are sorted according to their cultivation level and talent.
The ones in front are naturally the senior brothers and sisters who have reached the third level of Qi training and are about to enter the middle stage, then the second level and the first level of Qi training, and finally the newcomers who have not yet introduced Qi into their bodies.
When the cultivation levels are the same, those with better talents will be ranked higher.
Zhao Chun's position is behind the first-level Qi training disciples and in front of most newcomers. When she arrived, there were already many people, and she quickly found a place to sit down, which was in the middle of a row of old desks.
There were people sitting on the left and right, all with unfamiliar faces. Peng Zheng was in the back row of her, and the other two Sanlinggens from Feihu Small World were sitting closer. Unfortunately, Zhao Chun didn't know them and couldn't speak to them.
There are always advantages to walking alone. She took out the Synaesthesia True Consciousness Dharma Sutra from her cloth bag, spread it out on the table, and memorized it silently.
In the lobby where thousands of people were present, the first half was completely silent. The newlyweds in the second half did not dare to make loud noises and only whispered to get to know each other.
Zhao Chun was closing his eyes and concentrating on both sides, but there were two talkative ones in front of him. Their voices were high and low, like the senior brothers who had learned first were answering questions.
"May I ask, senior brother, how to teach this lesson?"
"Our academy has always been for senior disciples in the late stage of Qi training. Senior Brother Xun Xian teaches. He is a water attribute monk with three spiritual roots, so he teaches water attribute spells in more detail. Senior Brother Xun has ten years of teaching experience and the basics of practice. , there are few in the outer sect that can surpass him."
"What is this Senior Brother Xun like?"
"Senior Brother Xun has a generous personality and is not very strict. He only solves problems and teaches us, and is not responsible for our specific practice. Whether you are diligent or slack has nothing to do with him."
In this way, it is a bit like some professors in Zhao Chun University.
The teacher just talks, and whether the students learn or not depends entirely on their own consciousness. The good ones are better and the bad ones are worse. Polarization occurs in the classroom.
When Zhao Chun came in, she saw the monks on the third level of Qi training in front of them, ranging from children of her size to young people of seventeen or eighteen years old. The combination of innate talent and acquired hard work led to such a wonderful scene.
She memorized the diagram of the meridians and acupoints twice more, and Xun Xian came in with his hands behind his back, sat cross-legged on the stage, and said, "Xun Xian, the top disciple of the outer sect, is responsible for the lectures in the Thirty-ninth Academy."
He is a senior brother in terms of seniority, but his disciples will not really call him that. They all call him "Sir Xun" to show respect.
Xun Xian was worthy of being in the late stage of Qi training. He had the basic knowledge at his fingertips, such as introducing Qi into the body and cleaning pulse points, and explained it in great detail. Zhao Chun was afraid of missing it, so he only dared to write down some notes while he was drinking tea in the middle.
While listening and writing, some things that were not mentioned in the Dharma scriptures have already become clear in Zhao Chun's mind.
In addition to attributes, spiritual roots also have potential. Some people's potential is equally distributed to each type of spiritual root, but some people will focus more on one or two attributes. Zhao Xun himself is a man of metal, fire and wood who emphasizes metal and fire, but he can choose one of them as the main cultivation attribute. For example, Xun Xian, wood, water, earth and three spiritual roots, emphasizes water alone. He focused on practicing the water attribute and finally achieved something.
Therefore, the spiritual root with a certain emphasis is better than the spiritual root with equal attributes. Zhao Shun wrote down the two words "gold and fire" on the paper, and probably chose one of them to practice.
It's not that there are no monks with multiple attributes, it's just that it's too troublesome to practice. She needs to break away from her status as a preparatory disciple before making other considerations.
The content of introducing Qi into the body is only at the beginning of Xun Xian's lectures. The following is more knowledge about meridians and acupoints. Zhao Chun listened to the important ones, focusing still on his own needs.
After talking about theoretical knowledge, it’s time to clear up doubts. The newcomers were all digesting the rather large lecture content, and those who were really confused were mostly the disciples at the second and third levels of qi training.
Zhao Chun understood it almost, and just wanted to go back to the house to practice. He raised his head and looked around. Most of the students who had just entered school had a sad face and wanted to immerse themselves in books. There were also some who were mumbling and thinking hard, and there were actually a few lying on their desks. Up, sleeping soundly.
The others had nothing to do with her, except for an acquaintance, Xie Baoguang, who was holding his head on his hands and squinting half of his eyes.
When he arrived, he had nothing to ask for. Zhao Chun shook his head.
The bell rang three times, which meant that the half-month lesson was over. Xun Xian didn't care if there were still disciples who needed to answer their questions. He stood up and said: "That's it for today. If you still have questions, I'll wait until the next class." Please answer again!"
The disciple watched him go out and only dared to whisper depressedly: "I have something to do in the next hall. How can you remember today clearly?"
Zhao Chun felt happy because Xun Xian was full of useful information, which was just right for new monks like her.
The only drawback was that get out of class didn't end in the middle, so she and Zhou Pianran hurriedly packed up their things and headed to the cafeteria with empty stomachs.
After dinner, when he returned to the house, Zhao Chun closed the door and started to introduce Qi into his body.
According to what Xun Xian said in the book, you must first activate your spiritual roots, sense the surrounding spiritual energy, and then slowly draw it into the Dantian.
Zhao Shun closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
After losing her vision, her other senses became particularly keen. She could feel the warmth from her palms on her knees, as well as the old and slightly decaying smell of the house's wood.
Can't see anything, yet seems to see everything.
In the darkness before his eyes, three colors appeared. The golden and red shadows entwined and bitten each other, while the remaining green shadows trembled and hid below.
Zhao Shun secretly thought that this should be a success in stimulating the spiritual roots. Then he looked around again, and saw gray mist floating in the darkness, flowing like water.
She wanted to touch it, and a glowing hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The hand was not big, and she could tell that the owner was a child, and it was her own hand!
Her field of vision floated upward, turning from her hands to her body. The plain white fluorescence outlined the outline of her body in the darkness. Three shadows rushed into her abdomen, but the mist completely bypassed her and flowed outside her body.
Humans are the spirit of all things. When they are born, there is still a trace of innate aura. However, as they grow, the aura dissipates, and the filth of the world seeps into the skin and flesh, blocking the meridians, acupoints, and even skin. People no longer have a spirit and fall into mortal form.
The way of a monk is to rise from the mortal body and become a spiritual body again. The first step in the "Synaesthetic True Consciousness Dharma Sutra" is to unblock the skin and flesh and build a bridge for the entry of spiritual energy.
Zhao Shun tried to draw the spiritual energy closer to her body, but to no avail. The mist circled around her body without entering at all.
If you look closely, you will see that there are still dots of black spots on her body, blending into the black background, like small holes.
It seems that there is something wrong with the step of keeping in good health, and it does not meet the standard of entraining qi.
Knowing where the problem lies, the rest of the task becomes simple. Zhao Shun stopped sensing inspiration. After taking three deep breaths, he turned to silently reciting the mantra to continue nourishing his body.
On days when there were no classes, he was free. Zhao Chun stayed at home to practice most of the time, but Zhou Pianran was restless. She had a gentle temperament and was quite sociable. She also made some friends in the Hemerocallis Garden.
When the two of them are together, she likes to tell Zhao Chun the new news she has learned, so that Zhao Chun will not completely separate from the outside world.
For example, Zheng Chenqing, who made Elder Lin couldn't help but be delighted at the beginning. After meeting the leader, he found that he was extremely suitable for practicing the sect's secret skills. He was accepted by the leader as his direct disciple, and he rose to the top in one step.
Another example is Elder Qiu whom they met on the day they came to Hengyun World. Her name was Silhouette. She was still in her infancy when she was adopted by the headmaster. With the resources of the Three Spiritual Roots, she broke into the Condensation Yuan Stage at the age of twenty-five. It is also famous in the cloud world.
What Zhao Shun heard the most was the trivial affairs among the disciples of the Lingzhen Sect who were fighting among various factions.
There are many sects in the world of Hengyun. In addition to the sects, there is also a family system supported by great monks. They are closely connected with the sects. The elders in the family serve as elders, and the younger ones become disciples of the sects.
Disciples with backgrounds behind their backs are naturally different from ordinary people. The outer sect of Lingzhen sect is vaguely divided into three types of disciples: small world origin, Hengyun world origin, and Xiuzhen family origin. Their status and honor increase from front to back.
The Thirty-ninth Academy are all from small worlds, so the atmosphere is more peaceful. In some courtyards, disciples from the three lines coexist, and fights often occur.
Zhao Shun did not want to get involved. He only focused on practicing and hoped to become an official disciple soon. He also asked Zhou Pianran to stay away from disputes. There was no one behind them and no one could be offended.
"I understand. I only ask about this occasionally and don't dare to attract other people's attention." Zhou Pianran had a gap in her heart and knew how powerful it was inside.
She held a cup of hot tea in both hands and asked, "How are you doing over there? I've seen you become more and more withdrawn recently, always staying in the house and not coming out."
It has been seven days since I started running the health formula, and the dark spots all over my body have completely dissipated. Zhao Chun felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Success or failure depends on tonight, I am fully sure!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news! Senior sister even said that after you become a formal disciple, you can give them some easier things to do."
"The senior sisters treat me sincerely, and I will never let them down." During the days of Zhao Chun's hard training, the senior sisters took good care of her, taking care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although they were thinking of betting on it, they were not so kind to her. Really.
That night, Zhao Shun sat cross-legged on a futon, which Cui Lan'e found for her from the warehouse. It was inconvenient to practice on the bed, so the monks always prepared a futon instead.
The body as bright as white jade is located in the darkness, and the surrounding mist is no longer as repulsive as before, but surrounds the skin, tentatively touching it.
Zhao Shun knew that this was the opportunity, and immediately activated his spiritual roots, the long shadows of three colors condensed into a vortex, pulling the spiritual energy towards his body.
The spiritual energy was frightened at first and was unwilling to obey. After sensing the kindness released by Zhao Shun, he hesitated to move forward. Finally, under the constant attraction of the spiritual vortex, he chose to penetrate it!
Zhao Shun felt more energetic and began to breathe on her own!
One after another, there were two, and the spiritual energy gradually enveloped her, moving towards her Dantian in the spiritual vortex. It no longer rejected her, but became close to her.
At this point, the introduction of Qi into the body is completely completed, and Zhao Chun has officially entered the path of spiritual practice, becoming a monk at the first level of Qi training!
