"Where have you been?" Xia Jing took a step back, avoiding Zhao Shitou's hand that slapped his shoulder.
"Senior Brother Li and I spent the whole morning wandering around the valley, exploring a few holes, looking for spiritual energy." Zhao Shitou grinned, revealing his exceptionally white teeth.
Li Jincheng stood behind Zhao Shitou.
His appearance was infinitely better than Zhao Shitou's, his clothes were quite neat, and there was a bloodstain on his forehead.
After not seeing him for a month, he has become thinner, more haggard, and his reserve and arrogance have disappeared.
Li Jincheng looked at Xia Jing, his eyes no longer condescending, but still containing some hostility.
This hostility does not come from the resentment at the apprenticeship ceremony, but from the teachings of Master Hongming.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, a senior brother took him up to Hongming Peak. When he went up the mountain, his mind was filled with the ugliness he had just made and the fact that Master Hongming gave up on him and accepted Xia Jing instead.
Master Hongming dispelled his concerns in two sentences.
"With your spiritual roots, you shouldn't be so deeply affected by the cicada's chirping. It should be Yu Chanzi who noticed your hostility towards Xia Jing and deliberately targeted you."
"Your uncle is mine, and it was my idea to let you become a disciple of Yu Chan Peak. Xia Jing's spiritual roots are among the most outstanding in history. Of course we must find a way to accept him."
The first sentence resolved Li Jincheng's shame.
The second sentence changed Li Jincheng's position from an individual to a collective Hongmingfeng. His uncle was from Hongmingfeng, and Li Jincheng was naturally also from Hongmingfeng. From Hongmingfeng's standpoint, he should aggrieve himself and seek benefits for Hongmingfeng.
Li Jincheng knelt at the feet of Master Hongming, sincerely convinced.
"If Xia Jing comes, it will be Master Mingyuan who accepts you as a disciple. You will have a better chance than becoming a master. You will understand this later."
Li Jincheng kowtowed and thanked him. It turned out that his master had not wronged him.
"I didn't expect that Xia Jing would win the favor of Qinglan Peak."
Li Jincheng thought that the master was beating him, so he knelt on the ground and vowed to treat Xia Jing respectfully in the future and never have any inappropriate thoughts or cause trouble to Hongmingfeng.
When he thought about it, as the only disciple of Zhenren Qingxia, who was number one in the world, Xia Jing's status was comparable to that of the master of the Six Peaks. How could he provoke him?
The Master told him that he was very wrong.
"Xiaomei Peak and Xiaochi Peak are managed by Hongming Peak. The precious medicines and materials produced by the secular world, including the heavenly spiritual energy, are collected by Hongming Peak. The leader drives Xiaoque Peak and Xiaocang Peak to refine them for the whole sect to practice. elixirs and magic weapons. She, Qingxia, stayed at Qinglan Peak and did nothing."
"This Fuguang Sect is the Fuguang Sect of our Hongming Peak and Yaori Peak. It should not be the Fuguang Sect of her Master Qingxia!"
Li Jincheng huddled on the ground, his heart beating so hard that it hurt his chest. He kept swallowing, trying to use saliva to relieve the pain in his chest.
Master actually told him such a personal matter!
He quickly understood his master's thoughts. Just like his imperial brother, although he had the support of the Immortal Chief and could easily wipe out the court, he was still coerced by the courtiers and had to make a lot of concessions.
Although Master Qingxia is the best monk in the world, although she can kill the seven peaks to collapse and turn the world upside down, if she does not want to be the only one left in the sect, then her will cannot become the will of Fuguang Sect, even if she wants to Accommodate the will of Fuguang Sect.
However, he still felt that Master's words were too full. Master Qingxia may not be able to control the entire Fuguang Sect. Fuguang Sect may be able to force Master Qingxia to make concessions, but as long as Master Qingxia is not a weak person, the situation will be different. Strongly leaning toward Qingxia Zhenren.
The Fuguang Sect needs to make far more concessions than Master Qingxia.
Master quickly gave an explanation, once again proving his stupidity.
"What the Fuguang Sect needs is Master Qingxia who stays at Qinglan Peak. She should sit on that peak forever."
Li Jincheng understood that the master did not want to deal with Zhenren Qingxia, but that he did not want Zhenren Qingxia to interfere in the sect's affairs, and wanted to eliminate Zhenren Qingxia's influence in the sect, just like the emperor's brother eradicated the eunuchs, Qingxia A true henchman.
Who are the followers of Qingxia Zhenren?
The information given by his uncle flashed through Li Jincheng's mind. The peak master Izuyunzi of Izumo Peak is the disciple of Master Qingxia, and Elder Shuiyun and Senior Sister Shuixin of Qinglan Peak are the attendants of Master Qingxia.
He was shocked that Master Qingxia's power within the sect was actually so weak.
He then thought of Master Yuchan. Master Yuchan had a common relationship with Master Qingxia, and there was a rift with the master. The master asked him to go to Yuchan Peak in order to win over Master Yuchan.
"I want you to compete with Xia Jing! I want you to overshadow him! Take away his fame! His partner! His spiritual roots are indeed excellent, just let him sit on the Qingxia throne like Zhenren Qingxia. Let’s go up to Lanfeng!”
"No matter how many flowers bloom on your spiritual roots, it will only make a difference when you reach the Jingshen realm. Before the Jingshen realm, what affects the speed of cultivation is only the height of your spiritual roots and your innate understanding. You and Xia Jing are both eight inches tall. There is no reason for you. Lose to him!"
"As a teacher, I will do my best to train you. Here are the elixirs for nourishing Qi. With the help of these elixirs, you will be able to successfully absorb Qi within two months. When the time comes, you can come to me again."
He bowed to the ground and thanked him.
After coming to Lingqi Valley for a month, Li Jincheng lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. Outsiders thought that he was frustrated because of the ugliness he made at the apprenticeship ceremony. Only he knew that he was practicing so hard that he neglected food and sleep, which caused his mental and physical decline.
In the past month, he had been thinking about Xia Jing all the time, only slightly less than Yun Yiyi. He was thinking about Xia Jing's shocked and angry look after he defeated Xia Jing. Just like what he showed at the apprenticeship ceremony.
In the early morning, he was dragged by Zhao Shitou to explore the cave. He was slow in practicing and was feeling guilty and depressed. When he came back, he saw Xia Jing in Xia Jing's small courtyard, and he was so happy that he trembled all over.
He followed Zhao Shitou in and looked at his lifelong enemy.
"Xia Jing, has Master Qingxia taught you how to practice?" He couldn't help but pry for information.
The first step in the Qi-nourishing realm is to accept Qi and incorporate the spiritual energy from the outside into the Dantian.
If you are a disciple of the Four Little Peaks, after incorporating an ordinary spiritual energy, you can enter the second step, accumulating energy, accumulating the spiritual energy in the Dantian, and opening up the meridians throughout the body.
For the disciples of Shangqifeng, incorporating an ordinary spiritual energy is far from enough.
After successfully absorbing Qi, they will disperse the ordinary spiritual energy in the Dantian, capture a new heavenly spiritual energy, use the heavenly spiritual energy as the foundation, and then start to accumulate the energy, using ordinary spiritual energy to nourish the heavenly spiritual energy.
A disciple of Shang Qifeng who has the foundation of Tianling Qi can defeat three or five disciples of Xiaosi Peak who are at the same level. It will be easier to break through in the future.
However, incorporating ordinary spiritual energy is difficult enough, and catching a heavenly spiritual energy is even more of a test.
"Yes, Xia Jing, did Patriarch Qingxia give you some advice on how to practice? I haven't felt the presence of spiritual energy yet. Did Patriarch teach you any tricks?" Zhao Shitou asked eagerly.
Xia Jing shook his head: "Master didn't teach me how to practice."
"Then what did you do?"
"We wandered around the mountains and the fish in the pools were quite delicious."
"...As expected of you." Zhao Shitou sighed, holding his forehead.
In Dahu Village, Xia Jing was notoriously lazy and didn't even bother to learn martial arts.
Li Jincheng was ecstatic.
In school, what makes people most happy is not their own seriousness and hard work, but the laziness of their peers.
Xia Jing has been playing for a month, isn't he far behind?
In recent days, Li Jincheng has felt the flow of spiritual energy, and thinks that he will soon be able to successfully incorporate ordinary spiritual energy and complete the first stage of practice.
It can be at least half a month earlier than the two months that Master estimated!
And Xia Jing hasn’t started practicing yet!
Definitely win!
He couldn't help but giggle.
Xia Jing looked at him confused. This prince only had a subtle smile a month ago, as reserved as a girl, but now he smiles like a fool at the end of Dahu Village.
