Three quarters later, the bells stopped ringing.
More than a thousand newly promoted outer sect disciples were sitting cross-legged on the hillside. The place was completely silent. They all looked at Xu Ke eagerly, their eyes full of excitement and expectation.
"Everyone is here, let's start the lecture now."
Xu Ke glanced around and said, "You are all casual cultivators. Most of your practice is done by yourself. It is difficult to get guidance. The path of practice is very difficult."
"Now, you have joined the sect and joined the Bishuitan. As a leader, I feel sorry for the difficulty of your cultivation. I hereby open a forum to preach and resolve your doubts."
"Thank you Fangzheng!"
Everyone stood up quickly and bowed to Xu Ke together with a very solemn expression and a very sincere attitude.
"No need to be polite!"
Xu Ke waved his hand, "Since you have entered the Bishuitan, you are my people, and I will naturally take care of you."
These words are to "deepen the sense of belonging" and let them know the superiority of "being a disciple of Bishuitan", and the sense of belonging and pride will come naturally.
After saying the "opening remarks", Xu Ke entered the topic.
"I looked at your information and found that most of the exercises you practice fall into the category of the five elements. Today, I will start with the exercises that are attributed to the five elements."
"Qi training, no matter what the technique is, is essentially about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish one's body."
"Twelve levels of Qi training is to open up twelve levels of spiritual power storage space in the Dantian, and continuously strengthen one's own spiritual power."
"Each level of practice has different spiritual power running routes and spiritual power fluctuation frequencies based on different techniques."
"These spiritual power routes and fluctuation frequencies are the key to spiritual practice."
Next, Xu Ke used five-element exercises such as "Qingmu Jue" as an example, listed five types of exercises belonging to the five elements, and carefully explained the specific steps of each level of Qi training.
How to transport spiritual power, how to control spiritual power, how to make spiritual power flow more smoothly, and how to improve the efficiency of practice.
He started talking in the morning and continued until the sun went down. He talked for a whole day.
Xu Ke gave examples of the five techniques and explained all the practices from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi training in very detailed and specific terms.
During Xu Ke's sermon, everyone listened very carefully and felt very hungry.
When Xu Ke rang the bell with his fingers, everyone woke up from a dream.
"That's all for today."
Xu Ke glanced at everyone and continued: "Do you... have any questions to ask?"
"have!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bunch of people raised their hands.
Among them, the black-faced brawny man who had taken the lead in causing trouble was the most active.
Xu Ke smiled, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the black-faced man first, "What doubts do you have?"
"Reporting to Fangzheng!"
At this moment, the black-faced strong man completely lost his previous arrogance and became very respectful.
Standing up and bowing to Xu Ke, the black-faced strong man said: "Fangzheng, my disciple is practicing the Rock Kung Fu. The more I practice, the more my body feels heavy and stiff, as if I am about to turn into stone. Please help me, Fangzheng!"
"You didn't put all the spiritual power into the Dantian, but let some of the spiritual power spread through the meridians throughout the body?"
Xu Ke knew the reason as soon as he heard it.
"Fangzheng's Dharma vision is correct, that's true."
The dark-faced strong man nodded, "Spiritual power spreads throughout the meridians throughout the body. The body is as solid as a rock and has extremely strong defense. Isn't this the biggest benefit of the Rock Skill?"
"You're practicing wrong!"
Xu Ke sighed, "The Rock Skill is as solid as a rock. It does not allow you to train yourself into a rock. You cannot covet the defensive power brought by the Rock Skill and just focus on the surface and ignore the fundamentals."
This is the disadvantage of casual cultivation. Only focus on short-term benefits, regardless of the future.
In fact, Xu Ke can understand it.
It's not that they don't want to worry about their future, but that the living environment of casual cultivators is harsh. They can't improve their strength in a short time, and their lives can't be saved. How can they have a future?
Turning to look at the others, Xu Ke added, "You are now disciples of the sect, and are no longer precarious casual cultivators. Don't follow this quick and easy way of cultivation in the future."
After finishing speaking, Xu Ke said to the black-faced strong man: "Your current situation is not serious and can be corrected. Do the exercises to refine the spiritual power scattered in the meridians, collect all the spiritual power in the Dantian, and then It will take time to recover.”
"Thank you Fangzheng for your guidance!"
The dark-faced strong man was filled with gratitude and quickly bowed to Xu Ke.
Next, many people raised doubts about practice, and Xu Ke answered them one by one.
Subsequently, Xu Zhenren’s first sermon came to an end smoothly.
"That's it for today, you go down!"
"Thank you Fangzheng for your guidance, I'll take my leave!"
Everyone bowed respectfully to Xu Ke, and then left each other.
People's hearts have finally begun to gather together.
Xu Ke was quite satisfied with the effect of this sermon.
Getting up and planning to go back to the room, Xu Ke suddenly saw that there was still one person left.
This is a young woman of about twenty years old.
"You...what else can you do?"
Xu Ke turned to look at the young woman and asked.
"Fangzheng."
The young woman stepped forward and bowed to Xu Ke Yingying, "The exercises practiced by this disciple do not belong to the Five Elements. Although what you just said has benefited me a lot, it is still difficult to solve the confusion in my heart, so... Disciple is brave, Please give me some advice."
"It doesn't matter!"
Xu Ke waved his hand, "What kind of skills do you practice?"
"The technique is here."
Since you want to ask for advice, of course you can't hide it. The young woman quickly took out a roll of jade slips and handed it to Xu Ke.
Reaching out to take the jade slip, Xu Ke let out a trace of his mind and checked the information on the jade slip.
Mirage Shuiyue Jue?
This is an illusion technique, which is indeed relatively rare.
Judging from the exercise information in the jade slips, this is a complete Qigong exercise, from the first level of Qi training to the twelfth level of Qi training.
For casual cultivators, a complete qigong training method is already considered a rare skill.
Picking up the jade slip and reading it carefully, Xu Ke found that the quality of this skill should not be bad. He had at least read it once and found no mistakes.
"What doubts do you have?"
After Xu Ke read the exercises, he put down the jade slip and asked the young woman.
"This disciple has reached the fourth level of Qi training, but he doesn't know how to practice the techniques in the middle stage of Qi training."
The young woman bowed to Xu Ke, "Please give me some advice, how can mirage be transformed into spiritual power of other attributes?"
"It's not about turning into other spiritual powers."
Xu Ke shook his head, "The Mirage Water Moon Technique can only produce mirage energy, and it cannot be transformed into other spiritual powers. You are wrong. It does not transform into other spiritual powers, but disguises itself as other spiritual powers."
"Disguised as other spiritual powers?"
The young woman was shocked and her eyes widened, "How...how can this be done?"
"This technique of yours is indeed difficult to practice."
Xu Ke sighed, "You must use mirage to simulate the spiritual power of the five elements before you can continue to practice. You can only accumulate experience by observing the spiritual power of the five elements, continuous practice, and imitation. There is no shortcut. .”
You are not cheating, so you can only slowly observe, slowly imitate, and slowly accumulate experience.
"I see!"
The young woman nodded, and bowed to Xu Ke again, "Thank you Fangzheng for your guidance, my disciple, please retire!"
After the young woman left, Xu Ke laughed.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest!
This Mirage Water Moon Technique is really good and very useful to Xu Ke.
Mirage Shuiyue Jue uses mirage energy to transform all things and confuse the real with the fake.
With Xu Ke's current knowledge, he can completely decipher the essence and create a "disguise" for himself.
With this layer of disguise, Xu Ke doesn't have to worry about his practice speed being too outrageous and being regarded as a "monster".
After all... three years of foundation building is so outrageous!
Xu Ke smiled and turned back to his room.
——
Xu Ke's "sermon" caused a greater response than he imagined.
When the sermon ended and all the new disciples of Bishuitan left Kunwu Academy, everyone was no longer reserved and began to express their feelings.
"God is pitiful. I have been practicing cultivation for decades and have always been like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant. Today, when I hear the true teachings of the Tao, it is like clearing the clouds and clearing the fog! Fang Zheng is a great favor and I am so grateful."
"Yes! After listening to Fang Zheng's sermon today, I realized that I have made many mistakes in my many years of practice."
"This is the biggest difference between casual cultivators and sect disciples. No one cares about casual cultivators. They all rely on their own imagination. Their practice is stumbling and they have taken many detours."
"You are on the right track when you join the sect. The Bishuitan is full of spiritual energy, the environment is stable, and you don't have to worry about the precarious situation. There is also a preacher and guidance on practice. Such a good thing, could you have never dreamed of it?"
"Yes! Yes! Our hard days are finally over."
Everyone was walking and talking with emotion on their faces, cherishing the "good environment" now.
Xu Ke's goal of winning people's hearts has been initially achieved.
——
The next day, Hedongfangfangzheng Liu Yongtian came.
"Fangzheng, are you here?"
Xu Ke welcomed Liu Yongtian in at the door of Kunwu Academy.
"Stop calling Fang Zheng."
Liu Yongtian said with a smile: "I am no longer Fang Zheng. From now on, you will be Fang Zheng, and I will be your soldier. You can call me Lao Liu, or Senior Brother Liu."
"Okay, Senior Brother Liu."
Xu Ke didn't bother about the title, he agreed casually and led Liu Yongtian to sit down in the main hall.
"Senior Brother Liu, I will trouble you to take over the Baibaozhai in Bishuitan Market Town from now on."
Xu Ke poured a cup of tea for Liu Yongtian and talked about "work arrangements" with Liu Yongtian.
"no problem!"
Liu Yongtian nodded, "I'm familiar with this."
After talking about work, it was natural to talk about Liu Yongtian's "foundation building".
Xu Ke stood up, walked to Liu Yongtian, and said: "Senior Brother Liu, there is no problem with your conversion to the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art. It's just that I still need to check your spiritual power."
"Okay, just let it go!"
Liu Yongtian has no objection to this.
"Senior Brother Liu, please release your spiritual power and let it run on its own."
Xu Ke stretched out his fingers, placed them on Liu Yongtian's veins, and released a trace of spiritual power, which was integrated into the spiritual power running in Liu Yongtian's body.
As the spiritual power moved, the ray of spiritual power released by Xu Ke circulated in Liu Yongtian's body and explored in a circle.
"Senior Brother Liu, your injury... wasn't caused by a monster attack, right?"
Through spiritual perception, Xu Xu noticed that Liu Yongtian's injuries did not look like he had been attacked by a monster, but rather like he had been attacked by someone.
"Did you notice?"
Liu Yongtian sighed, "It was indeed not caused by a monster attack, but by someone."
"When we went deep into Hengduan Mountain to investigate, we were attacked. Of the entire team, only me and the deacon who led the team escaped. The other twenty or so people were all dead."
"Who is the person who attacked you?"
Xu Ke frowned, "What is the decision of the sect's senior leaders on this?"
"The origins of the people who attacked us are not known yet."
Liu Yongtian shook his head, "However, there are only a few Jindan sects on the vast plains. Apart from those few, there are no others. How can no one be jealous of the resources of the sect that exploits the Hengduan Mountains and the land with a radius of thousands of miles?"
"As for the decision of the sect's senior officials, how do I know? They just told me not to make any noise, and other matters will be handled by the sect."
"Is that so?"
Xu Ke nodded, knowing it well.
Originally, when the beast tide invaded the Hengduan Mountains and the Haoyang Immortal Sect got into a fight with the beast tide, the other "competitors" were naturally happy to see it and even gloated about it.
But he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the Golden Core Demon King in the Hengduan Mountains would disappear inexplicably, and the land with a radius of thousands of miles would fall into the hands of the Haoyang Sect.
Let the Haoyang Immortal Sect occupy such a large territory, and its strength will surely increase by leaps and bounds. How can this “competitor” sit still?
The Cangmang Plain is such a big place. If the Haoyang Immortal Sect becomes stronger, it means that other sects become weaker. Naturally, they don't want to see this happen.
Xu Ke sighed. Confrontation is bound to happen, I just hope it won't turn into a large-scale sect war.
Putting aside these disturbing matters, Xu Ke focused on Liu Yongtian's practice.
After a round of spiritual exploration, Xu Ke had determined Liu Yongtian's cultivation status.
Although he is also practicing the "Little Five Elements Hunyuan True Secret", Liu Yongtian's spiritual root talent is only the Five Elements attributes, and the spiritual power he cultivates is not Xu Ke's "Hunyuan Qi" at all.
After such a comparison, Xu Ke also made a guess about the attributes of his spiritual roots. Twelve kinds of spiritual root attributes are complete, maybe... a full-attribute spiritual root?
Regardless of this issue, it seems that Liu Yongtian is unable to practice the "All Things Return to Origin Sword Technique" under the current situation.
If it weren't for the Hunyuan Qi, there would be no way to convert the Hunyuan Qi into Guiyuan Sword Qi according to Xu Ke's method.
Xu Ke frowned and said, "Senior Brother Liu, your situation is somewhat different from what I expected. You may not be able to practice the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art."
"Well……"
Liu Yongtian's face froze, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Xu Ke said quickly: "I haven't finished speaking yet! Although you can't practice the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Technique, the other technique is very suitable."
The "Five Elements Gong" that Gao Zhengzheng had originally learned was very suitable for Liu Yongtian to switch to.
Xu Ke has thoroughly analyzed this technique and has a very profound understanding of it.
In Xu Ke's view, Liu Yongtian's "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue" did not produce "Hunyuan Qi", but the Five Elements Hunyuan, which is very similar to the true qi nature of Five Elements Gong, so it should not be difficult to convert.
Of course, Xu Ke still needs to make some adjustments to the Five Elements Gong.
"Senior brother, wait a moment, I'll go get another technique."
With that said, Xu Ke got up and walked into the study, preparing to write a skill for Liu Yongtian on the spot.
