Gu Yuanan shook his head and smiled, "It's just my duty. Since I have accepted this commission, I have to teach you well."
If there are other talented disciples who are willing to learn more, he will also do his best to teach them.
After Gu Yuanan finished speaking, he turned to look at Huo Chunyan beside him.
Junior Sister Huo has a pretty good understanding, but she has a rather eccentric personality.
Seeing Gu Yuanan's eyes sweeping over her, Huo Chunyan immediately became obedient, lowered her head like a quail, and waited for Senior Brother Gu to lecture her.
Gu Yuanan gave him a few words of encouragement and then left.
"I was so scared. I thought I was going to be scolded by Senior Brother Gu again."
Huo Chunyan waited until Gu Yuanan's figure completely disappeared before she breathed a sigh of relief, a look of relief on her face.
Xu Chunniang chuckled and shook her head as she walked towards the classroom.
"You are exaggerating. Senior Brother Gu is a gentle person and a strict teacher. He is truly a rare and good teacher. How can he be as scary as you say?"
Huo Chunyan rolled her eyes when she heard that.
"You are so talented and savvy that you naturally cannot understand how terrifying Senior Brother Gu is. We ordinary disciples are in such a pity! Oh, I really need to learn the sword-controlling technique quickly, otherwise I won't be able to afford the daily travel expenses of ten spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chunniang looked at Huo Chunyan in surprise.
After spending some time together, the two of them had developed some friendship, and she also had a general understanding of Huo Chunyan's personality.
Huo Chunyan is a carefree person and is even more generous when spending spirit stones. Why would she ever care about these ten spirit stones
Huo Chunyan felt a little embarrassed when Xu Chunniang looked at her like that.
It's not that she is thrifty, she's just really short of money.
"I'm not complaining about being poor. I wouldn't have ended up like this, but someone borrowed 3,000 contribution points from me some time ago, and my entire fortune was drained out. Isn't this poverty?"
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "You lent out so much? Didn't you say you only had 3,600 in total?"
Whenever this matter was mentioned, Huo Chunyan gritted her teeth in hatred.
"I can't help it. Didn't I tell you before that I took Zhao Xuanqi as my master? He has a disciple who wants to build a foundation. He is short of contribution points to buy foundation-building pills, so he came to me."
Huo Chunyan looked helpless, "Although I have the foundation-building skills, I am only a nominal disciple after all, so I gritted my teeth and lent it to you."
Xu Chunniang nodded, and could understand Huo Chunyan's situation.
"It's only 3,000 contribution points. I'm sure he won't default on the debt, right?"
"If you want to default on your debt, you need him to be there. He failed in building his foundation and died. My three thousand contribution points would be wasted, wouldn't they?"
Whenever she thought of this, Huo Chunyan became extremely angry.
As a person with three spiritual roots, she successfully established her foundation with just one foundation-building pill. It must be said that there was some luck involved.
That person, who had dual spiritual roots, was unable to establish his foundation after taking three foundation-building pills. It can only be said that he had no chance of achieving the Great Dao.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she would rather offend others than lend these contribution points.
Xu Chunniang showed sympathy when she heard this. Although three thousand contribution points were not a lot, it was not too few either.
"In order to buy the foundation-building pill, that junior fellow not only owed money everywhere, but also took all the contribution points of his follower. The follower was hit so hard that he could not recover. He is quite famous. His name is Wei Dawu. You should have heard of him, right?"
Xu Chunniang paused for a moment before she slowly spoke, "I've heard of it."
"Yes, no one expected such a talented disciple to fail in building his foundation."
Huo Chunyan didn't notice Xu Chunniang's abnormality, and had a distressed expression, "On the contrary, for someone like me with three spiritual roots, it's common to fail in building the foundation. Oh, I won't say any more, I'm going to class."
Xu Chunniang didn't expect that the person Huo Chunyan was talking about was Wei Dawu.
When she heard the news, it was beyond her expectations, but when she thought about it carefully, it made sense.
She couldn't express her feelings, but she just recalled the conversation they had on the flying boat on the day she was selected into the Xiaoyao Sect.
At that time, they were young and ignorant, and knew nothing about the world of cultivation. They just agreed to practice well and work hard together.
But she didn't know when a rift and distance started between her and Wei Dawu, and later they completely fell out and became strangers.
Xu Chunniang felt a little lost in her heart. She had returned to her hometown once when she was on a mission abroad.
Wei Dawu's father, Wei Laoqi, even came to see her specially and asked about Wei Dawu's recent situation.
Now more than ten years have passed. Uncle Wei Qi may still be alive, but Wei Dawu has passed away.
The path of spiritual practice seems to be a smooth road, but in fact it is full of difficulties at every step.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and suppressed her thoughts. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would move forward unswervingly.
When she walked into the classroom and saw that there was still an empty seat, Huo Chunyan smiled.
"The lecturer today is Elder Yan Yu from Qianji Peak. She is well-known for her skills in chain formations. In the entire Qianji Peak, her attainments in formations are ranked among the top three."
Xu Chunniang came to her senses and sat down with Huo Chunyan.
She had finished the martial arts class yesterday, and from today on, she could focus on practicing the formation.
"I have never learned formations before. Is what Elder Yan is talking about too advanced for me?"
"Just listen with confidence! Elder Yan is talking about the basics of formations, which are just right for beginners like us."
After the two of them, people continued to come to the lecture room. When the entire lecture room was full of seats, a female cultivator in a light yellow dress stepped in.
She has a beautiful appearance and extraordinary demeanor. She is none other than Yan Yuzhenren from Qianji Peak.
"The so-called formation is derived from the Tao of Tai Chi. According to legend, the ancient sages evolved the Tai Chi and the two yin and yang, and gave rise to the four images and eight trigrams, which was the beginning of the formation. Therefore, all formations are based on this."
Elder Yan Yu glanced at everyone and waved his hand casually, and a formation plate appeared in his hand.
"This small array is also like this. The eight gates and two yin and yang are indispensable. The eight gates are opening, resting, birth, injury, stopping, scenery, death, and shock.
These eight gates are also called formation gates. They correspond to Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui respectively. Each gate has its own meaning.
As she spoke, she cast a spell into the array, breaking down its structure one by one and explaining it in detail.
When it comes to profound and obscure parts, detailed explanations will be given.
After the class, everyone felt enlightened and benefited a lot.
The usually tedious and boring art of formations did not seem so difficult after being explained by Elder Yan.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Elder Yan had been gone for a long time, but there were still people staying in the classroom, thinking hard and refusing to leave.
Huo Chunyan sighed and walked outside.
"If I can listen to Elder Yan's talk about formations every day, I'm afraid it won't take long before I can set up a first-grade, top-grade formation."
Although Elder Yan only talks about basic knowledge, I can gain new insights and insights every time I listen.
Xu Chunniang showed recognition in her eyes. She originally knew nothing about the art of formation, but after listening to Elder Yan's lecture, she gained a lot of understanding about formations.
"The art of formation is indeed ingenious. It starts from the most basic Tai Chi Bagua, but has endless variations. It is connected from beginning to end, and each ring is linked together. It is truly indescribable."
"Wonderful? Don't you think it's difficult?"
Huo Chunyan gave her an incredulous glance.
