Chapter 3099 Listening to Scholarship

The cultivation of the Yang Soul Incarnation to its full potential is like a physical entity, requiring a considerable amount of cultivation resources, but every cultivator truly possesses a Yang Soul.

Theoretically speaking, as long as one enters the cultivation stage, one can access the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique, while cultivators at the Divine Power stage are qualified to release an incarnation through cultivation.

"In other words, whether I cultivate or not, it's just a matter of the strength of my techniques. But once I can utilize the transformation within my Yang Soul to condense my Qi into the Infant Pill you mentioned, I can save a lot of cultivation resources!"

"That's the truth!"

"Of course I want to learn it!"

At Zhang Xuezhou's residence, Zhu Fuyan was extremely interested.

As long as it benefits him, Zhu Fuyan is willing to do anything.

Zhang Xuezhou was unaware that he would come to offer congratulations, so there was no need to specially arrange for a great scholar to fool him. Gongsun Hong had also cultivated the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique, and his form could be vaguely seen when his Yang Soul escaped.

Zhu Fuyan felt that he had taken advantage of Zhang Xuezhou, and that a wonderful trick had fallen from the sky, which he had obtained without any effort.

If there is any flaw, it is that the fusion of Dao techniques and realms will vary from person to person, and cultivators from different schools will present their own differences. Zhu Fuyan cannot copy the answers from Zhang Xuezhou and others, but needs to seriously think about how to fuse and cultivate himself.

"If you're going to learn, listen carefully and don't disturb me and Mr. Gongsun. If you have any questions, raise your hand to speak!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a warning, which pleased Gongsun Hong greatly, as it spared him the noise of Zhufu Yan's talking and drinking.

Gongsun Hong resumed the topic of preaching the Dharma and spoke eloquently, recounting the knowledge he had gained from Dong Zhongshu.

These concepts are easy to explain once and take no more than an hour, but the many details of adapting cultivation to one's own needs to be discussed. In addition to avoiding mistakes in cultivation as much as possible to prevent the Yang Soul incarnation from going astray, the biggest problem for everyone is 'how to transform Qi Refining into the Infant Transformation state'.

Although Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly emphasized that infant transformation only reduces the resources needed for cultivation, Dong Zhongshu stressed that infant transformation can achieve a balance between the Golden Elixir Technique and the Qi Refining Technique, thereby making up for the lack of strength in the Confucian realm techniques.

Since the two sides have different goals, their focus in spiritual practice and their methods of problem-solving will differ.

Gongsun Hong was quite looking forward to seeing different sparks fly between them, but what effect the infancy would actually have was another matter.

He spoke eloquently, repeatedly emphasizing the precautions mentioned by Dong Zhongshu.

When someone later scaled the wall and broke in, Zhang Xuezhou and the others turned a blind eye, and Gongsun Hong had no choice but to continue copying the many contents summarized by Dong Zhongshu.

"Good heavens! This person seems to be the great scholar Gongsun, whom the Five Classics Doctors of the Imperial Academy often mention!"

Huo Qubing was lying on a rattan chair, with a pile of loose gold in his pocket.

He watched Gongsun Hong preach, and felt that Gongsun Hong's preaching was profound yet easy to understand. Even a child like him could understand half of it. His level was higher than that of the Five Classics Doctor of the Imperial Academy.

He also recognized Gongsun Hong's identity.

Many Confucian masters possessed extraordinary bearing, and these people mostly traveled in fine clothes. However, Gongsun Hong was dressed rather shabbily, or perhaps Gongsun Hong didn't care much about his outward appearance.

If a highly accomplished scholar is dressed in shabby clothes, there's an 80% chance that the person is Gongsun Hong.

"Brother Xuan, Master Dongfang has found us a new teacher!"

Huo Qubing quietly nudged Liu Xuan, who was standing ramrod straight to the side. Liu Xuan gave an awkward smile and then looked at Wei Shao'er with a headache.

"What, are you dissatisfied with my teaching?"

Wei Shao'er glanced at Huo Qubing, whose legs were strapped with sandbags, and then at the half-pig and ten bushels of millet that Liu Xuan had placed aside.

Before she started making people work like cattle, Wei Shao'er also disliked Liu Xuan. However, Liu Xuan was gentle, polite, and capable. Apart from his slightly lower cultivation level, he was almost flawless, so she still preferred this kind of student.

If another teacher were to be found for Liu Xuan, Wei Shao'er would feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"satisfy!"

"I'm very satisfied!"

After Liu Xuan and Huo Qubing gave perfunctory nods, Wei Shao'er turned away dejectedly, feeling that the two were completely unreliable and that it would be better to hire farmhands. To be honest, Wei Shao'er had wanted to do this for a long time; Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't eat or drink, and they couldn't endure the hardship.

But before Wei Shao'er could find anyone, the mansion was burgled, followed by a major lockdown, and they were only allowed in today.

They wouldn't be homeless if they couldn't return to their mansion; Wei Qing's mansion was ready for habitation at any time. However, Wei Shao'er felt she had botched her guard duty. She had failed to protect Zhang Xuezhou and had even caused his mansion to be robbed. This was a disgrace to her, Wei Shao'er.

Wei Shao'er could only wait and see what Zhang Xuezhou would say.

While waiting for the lecture to end with his legs crossed, Wei Shao'er also listened in.

She took her time to get into the lecture, but as she listened, Wei Shao'er felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

Cultivation and magic are constantly evolving. Many people, like her, only have the ability to learn the old ways and repeat the cultivation practices of past cultivators. However, there are also some who will forge ahead and change the order of cultivation.

Some people became famous because of this, while others failed and remained unknown. But regardless of whether they were the former or the latter, cultivators who could break free from old ways of thinking were extremely rare.

Even if these cultivators do not achieve success, some of them have laid the foundation.

As Gongsun Hong continued to explain, Wei Shao'er felt as if the entire set of cultivation content was presented, and everything seemed to be just one layer away from being pierced.

"Listen carefully, and try to get closer to this gentleman in the future," Wei Shao'er instructed.

"Yes, teacher," Liu Xuan replied respectfully.

"You too, sick child, did you hear me clearly, sick child... sick child?"

"Stay on!"

As Wei Shao'er patted Huo Qubing, Gongsun Hong called out, then reached out and flicked his hand, drawing out wisps of water from the large vat at the entrance of the mansion, which transformed into a winding water rope that pulled her back a step.

But what frightened Wei Shao'er even more was Zhang Xuezhou's soft cough.

Two simple coughs, almost like thunder, reverberated in her mind, causing Wei Shao'er to focus entirely on the sound of the coughs and completely ignore Gongsun Hongshui's entanglement.

She was pulled back a step before her mind cleared and she came to her senses.

When Wei Shao'er looked at Zhang Xuezhou in shock, she saw that Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong's eyes were almost fixed on Huo Qubing, and they completely ignored her.

"Listening to academics, senior brother is truly a genius!"

When Liu Xuan uttered a sentence in a low voice, Wei Shao'er almost jumped up and slapped Huo Qubing twice.

Cultivating knowledge is a good thing, but learning everything indiscriminately is a bad thing. In particular, since Huo Qubing's physical acupoints had not yet developed, the techniques he practiced were bound to be flawed and ineffective, merely existing in name only.

Once you get used to this inadequate way of self-cultivation, it will be very difficult to correct the bad habits you had in your youth when you grow up.

Just thinking about how other people his age were making great strides in their spiritual practice, Huo Qubing could only try to change his bad practice habits, and Wei Shao'er felt that his own child was doomed.

She wanted to reach out to Huo Qubing, but as soon as she thought about the joint attack they had just suffered, Wei Shao'er knew very well that her subsequent actions would be ineffective.

"What did your senior brother learn?"

Wei Shao'er took a deep breath and could only ask Liu Xuan, who had some sense of it.

"My senior brother is adjusting his existing cultivation level; the techniques he's learned seem to have been integrated into his cultivation level!"

Liu Xuan thought for a moment before speaking cautiously.

He boasted that he had seen all the secret manuals and cultivation techniques of the Qin Dynasty, and that as long as he used cultivation resources, he could continuously improve and thus restore his original cultivation strength to the greatest extent.

But Liu Xuan found himself feeling somewhat lost.

The world will not revolve around the Qin Dynasty, and no one will wait for the Qin Dynasty forever.

A new way of cultivating oneself seems to have emerged in Huo Qubing.
