Although Xu Chunniang did not understand the specific meaning of drawing Qi into the body, she had heard the leading senior brother mention it on the flying boat. It was the first step for everyone to embark on the path of cultivation and it was not so easy to cross.
Some people with poor talent and low comprehension may even take half a year to succeed.
After thanking Manager Zhao, Xu Chunniang hurriedly grabbed the token and the fasting pill and ran towards the lecture hall. She had to finish the general knowledge class as soon as possible.
After Xu Chunniang returned to the lecture hall, she went straight to the west courtyard and listened to the general knowledge class.
In terms of fun, these general knowledge classes are much more interesting than literacy classes. The courses cover very basic things, which are simple and easy to understand with teaching pictures.
It was also in the West Courtyard that, through a small metal ball, the world of cultivation gradually unveiled its mysterious veil to Xu Chunniang...
It took Xu Chunniang seven full days to finally finish all the general knowledge classes. Her eyes were shining and she still felt a little unsatisfied.
"I didn't expect that there are so many new and interesting things in the world of immortals. In addition to the mental methods we must learn, we can also choose to practice, and there are also various spiritual weapons, some of which can attack, and some can defend...
In addition, you can also choose to study spiritual plants, puppets, formations, talismans, alchemy, beast control and other directions. As long as you learn the major well, you will not have to worry about the future gang contribution tasks..."
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in her heart. She had not officially started practicing yet. Only after she embarked on the path of practice would this magical world be officially open to her.
What she had to do next was to go to the second floor to attend classes and draw the Qi into her body as soon as possible!
Early the next morning, Xu Chunniang went upstairs early with excitement.
The lecture room on the second floor is much larger than that on the first floor and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.
Apart from the "Heart Method" classroom that guides new disciples in their cultivation, words such as "Spiritual Plants", "Tame Beasts", "Magic", "Talismans", and "Refine Equipment" are written outside other classrooms. All of them are taught by the foundation-building brothers in the inner sect.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze and walked into the "Xin Fa" teaching room.
After entering the classroom, Xu Chunniang was surprised to find that there were already two or three figures inside. They were sitting cross-legged, and when they saw someone coming in, they just turned their heads and took a look, then retracted their gaze and continued to meditate with their eyes closed.
Xu Chunniang's expression was slightly moved. It seemed that while she was working hard, others were not idle either.
She found a corner, followed the others' example, and sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, waiting for the inner sect master to arrive...
I don’t know how long it had been, but Xu Chunniang was dozing off when she was awakened by a loud noise.
I saw that the lecture room was already full of people at some point. All of them crowded around the door and the window, craning their necks to look outside.
Xu Chunniang looked outside in the direction of everyone's gaze. When she saw the scene outside clearly, the sleepiness immediately disappeared. There was a man in white riding a sword outside!
She had seen this scene in the general knowledge class in the West Courtyard, but she didn't expect to see it in real life so soon.
The one who came flying on the sword was none other than the inner sect's foundation-building uncle master. However, after he jumped off the sword, he did not come over, but entered a teaching room next door with the words "Beast Taming" written on it.
Not long after the inner sect master who taught the "Beast Taming" course arrived, several figures came on flying swords. One of them jumped off the flying sword and walked towards their classroom.
When the new disciples saw their foundation-building uncle approaching, they quickly ran to their seats and sat down, each of them unable to conceal their excitement.
"The one who is here to give the lecture today is Master Gu! It only took Master Gu thirty years to go from training Qi into the body to building the foundation. Even for an inner sect, this speed is extremely fast."
"Uncle Gu's lectures are always lively and progressive. It's worth coming here today."
"Be quiet, Uncle Gu is about to start. If you violate the rules in his class, you will be kicked out of the classroom!"
Xu Chunniang heard the discussions of the people around her and realized that this uncle's surname was Gu and that he had an extraordinary talent for cultivation. Before she could listen carefully, she saw that all the disciples looked serious and sat up straight. She subconsciously sat up straighter and pricked up her ears.
Gu Yuanan glanced around the classroom and nodded with satisfaction.
"Now let's start the class. Last time we talked about the existence of Qi in heaven and earth, and Qi gave birth to all things.
This means that the heaven and earth have spiritual energy, and all things are born from the spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy is invisible and intangible. We can only feel it when we draw the energy into our bodies and practice.
Spiritual energy is not just a single substance, it has attributes. When you were tested, you all knew the attributes of your spiritual roots, right?"
Gu Yuan paused, glanced at the disciples in the room, and when they nodded, he continued.
“In addition to the five common attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the three variant attributes of wind, thunder and ice, there are some other attributes of spiritual energy. However, I will not go into details here. You just need to remember these eight attributes for now.
When you practice, you are able to attract spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Generally speaking, you will find it easier to attract spiritual energy that is consistent with your spiritual vein.
For example, for a person with three spiritual roots of gold, wood, and water, when he practices, the spiritual energy he attracts will be mostly the three kinds of spiritual energy, and the other five will be less. "
“So, doesn’t it mean that disciples with four or five spiritual roots can attract more types of spiritual energy?” A disciple raised the question.
Gu Yuanan glanced at the disciple who asked the question and said, "Yes, if you practice with the five spiritual roots, you will attract the five kinds of spiritual energy: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
However, the speed of cultivation will not increase because of the increase in the types of spiritual energy attracted. On the contrary, because disciples with five spiritual roots need to harmonize five kinds of spiritual energy when cultivating, their cultivation is the slowest.
As for disciples with a single spiritual root, since they only absorb a single spiritual energy, they do not need to blend the spiritual energy and can absorb it directly, so their cultivation speed is the fastest. "
The disciples suddenly understood after hearing this. No wonder both the disciples with single and double spiritual roots entered the inner gate.
They do not need to harmonize spiritual energy or need to harmonize less spiritual energy, so their cultivation speed is much faster than others.
Some of the disciples showed frustrated expressions. Most of them were disciples with four or even five spiritual roots.
Many disciples with three spiritual roots were secretly thankful. Although they were not as good as those with single or double spiritual roots, they were not too bad either.
"Disciples with five spiritual roots don't have to belittle themselves. After all, when it comes to learning spells, those with five spiritual roots have an incomparable advantage and can learn spells related to the five elements more quickly."
Gu Yuanan took in everyone's expressions and spoke calmly.
“Although the progress of cultivators with five spiritual roots is slow, if they can master the techniques related to the five spiritual energies at the same time, they will have a considerable advantage in actual combat.
It’s just that it’s difficult for disciples with five spiritual roots to practice in the early stages, and few can persist until the foundation-building stage.
However, most of the cultivators with five spiritual roots who are able to build a foundation possess practical abilities far exceeding those of other cultivators.
In short, there are countless opportunities on the road to becoming an immortal, and there are many disciples with five spiritual roots who have a predestined relationship with immortality. The founder of our Xiaoyao Sect is a powerful cultivator with five spiritual roots. "
