He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

He will definitely reply as soon as he sees the message.

All I need to do now is wait patiently.

The waiting time is always both long and agonizing.

This is especially true for someone as impatient as Zhang Beixing.

He checked his phone screen every few seconds, afraid of missing Zhang Tianshi's reply.

After repeating this process more than ten times, the phone finally vibrated.

He quickly opened WeChat and saw Zhang Tianshi's reply: "The Huangting Jing is the supreme classic of Taoism. Its cultivation method is extremely secretive and will not be taught to anyone other than a direct disciple. Why would you ask such a question?"

Upon seeing this message, Zhang Beixing was somewhat stunned.

Is it only passed down to direct disciples?
What's going on?

Does this mean that I have to become a direct disciple of Zhang Tianshi in order to cultivate the Huangting Jing?
However, he had only met Zhang Tianshi once, and the meeting had been somewhat unpleasant.

It's basically impossible for me to become his disciple.

Moreover, even if Zhang Tianshi were willing to take him as a disciple, he would still have to consider whether he was willing to do so.

After all, cultivation requires a lot of time and energy to study.

I am quite interested in cultivation now and want to become stronger.

But I don't want this to interfere with my studies.

I'm a junior in college this year, and I'll graduate in two more years.

If you neglect your studies because of cultivation and end up not graduating, that would be a laughing stock.

Therefore, I will not consider taking on a master unless absolutely necessary.

“Master Zhang, to be honest, I asked this question because I have a copy of the Huangting Jing, but I don’t know how to cultivate it, so I would like to ask you for guidance.”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Beixing briefly explained his situation to Zhang Tianshi.

Of course, he didn't say that he got the book from Li Wenjing, but that he got it by chance.

After all, Li Wenjing's identity is special, and it remains a mystery why she would possess a Taoist classic like the "Huang Ting Jing".

Before figuring things out, he didn't want to drag Li Wenjing into it.

"Do you have the *Huang Ting Jing*?"

Zhang Tianshi was clearly surprised that Zhang Beixing possessed such a Taoist classic, and his tone revealed an undisguised astonishment.

"Yes."

"Could you take a picture of the contents of the *Huang Ting Jing* and send it to me?"

Master Zhang was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

Although he was known as the Celestial Master Who Protects the Nation and had profound cultivation, he had never actually practiced the "Huang Ting Jing".

Or rather, he was simply not qualified to practice the Huangting Jing.

Because the Yellow Court Classic was created by the Yellow Emperor, the founder of Taoism, anyone who is not a direct disciple of Taoism is not qualified to practice it.

Although he was a member of the Taoist sect, he was not a direct descendant of the Taoist lineage, so naturally he was not qualified to cultivate the "Huang Ting Jing".

The reason he was so interested in the Huangting Jing, even going so far as to lower himself to ask Zhang Beixing, a junior, was that he had once seen a record of the Huangting Jing in an ancient book.

That ancient book says that the Huangting Jing is the supreme classic of Taoism, and that if one cultivates it to the extreme, one can attain immortality!

Of course, the so-called attainment of immortality did not hold much appeal for him.

What he really cared about was the cultivation method recorded in the Huangting Jing.

His current cultivation level has reached the point where he is ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking and invincible in China.

But he could clearly sense that he had hit a bottleneck and that it was almost impossible to improve further.

Unless he can find a new cultivation method to break through the existing bottleneck, he will not be able to make further progress.

The cultivation methods recorded in the "Huang Ting Jing" were undoubtedly the key to his breakthrough.

That's why he cared so much about the "Huang Ting Jing" and even lowered himself to ask Zhang Beixing, a junior, for advice.

"of course can."

Without much thought, Zhang Beixing immediately took a picture of the contents of the "Huangting Jing" and sent it to Zhang Tianshi.

Anyway, it's not a secret, and Zhang Tianshi also said that he would not pass it on to anyone other than his direct disciples.

Even if he obtains the contents of the "Huang Ting Jing", he may not be able to cultivate it.

Therefore, Zhang Beixing was not worried that he would steal his things.

soon.

Zhang Tianshi then received the photos sent by Zhang Beixing.

He examined each one carefully.

The further he looked, the more serious his expression became…

After flipping through the last photo, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's wrong, Master Zhang? Is there something wrong with this *Huang Ting Jing*?"

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi's expression was so solemn after looking at the photo, Zhang Beixing thought there was something wrong with the "Huangting Jing" and quickly asked.

"No, this Huangting Jing is perfectly fine, and it is the most complete version."

Master Zhang slowly began to speak: “I just didn’t expect that the Yellow Court Scripture would be so complete, and the cultivation methods recorded on it are completely different from what I knew before.”

"Oh? What are the differences?"

Zhang Beixing asked curiously.

"The Huangting Jing that I knew before was only an incomplete part. The cultivation methods recorded on it were not complete, and there were many places where the descriptions were vague, making it impossible for people to cultivate according to it."

"However, the 'Huangting Jing' in your hand is complete, and the cultivation methods recorded on it are extremely detailed. As long as you cultivate according to the methods described, you can cultivate Huangting True Qi!"

Zhang Tianshi's tone revealed his excitement and exhilaration.

Yellow Court True Qi!

That is the supreme true energy created by the Yellow Emperor, the founder of Taoism. Its power is extraordinary and can sweep away all opponents!
Although he had never practiced Huangting True Qi, he had seen records of it in ancient books.

It claims that the Yellow Court True Qi is one of the strongest true qi in the world, capable of easily destroying any opponent!
Even beings more powerful than him would find it difficult to withstand the attack of Huang Ting True Qi!

This shows just how terrifying and powerful the Yellow Court True Qi is!

"So, does that mean if I cultivate according to the method above, I can cultivate the Yellow Court True Qi and become a true cultivator?"

Zhang Beixing couldn't help but ask excitedly.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

“From a theoretical point of view, that is indeed the case,” Zhang Tianshi said slowly. “However, cultivating the Huangting Jing is not an easy task. It requires a lot of time and energy, and one must also have extremely high comprehension and talent in order to truly understand its essence.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing was astonished.

He originally thought that after obtaining the "Huang Ting Jing", he could start cultivating directly and then make rapid progress to become an invincible existence.

Unexpectedly, there are so many thresholds and requirements for practicing the Huangting Jing.

It seems that becoming a true cultivator is not so easy.

"Master Zhang, in your opinion, may I be able to cultivate the Yellow Court Scripture?" Zhang Beixing couldn't help but ask.

Although he was quite confident in his comprehension and talent, he had never actually been exposed to cultivation before, so he was not sure what to expect.

Hearing Zhang Tianshi say this, they naturally wanted to get a definite answer from him.

“Well… I can’t judge for myself either,” Zhang Tianshi said after a moment of thought. “Cultivating the Huangting Jing requires extremely high comprehension and talent, which are innate and cannot be changed through hard work.” “However, since you have gained the approval of the Huangting Jing, it means that your comprehension and talent should not be bad.”

"Therefore, I think you can try practicing the Huangting Jing and see if you can gain any insights."

Hearing Zhang Tianshi say this, Zhang Beixing finally felt more confident.

At least, Zhang Tianshi didn't directly say that he couldn't cultivate the "Huangting Jing," but instead let himself try.

This means that I still have a chance.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Zhang!" Zhang Beixing quickly expressed his gratitude.

"No need to be so polite. I was just saying it casually. Whether you can truly succeed in cultivation depends on your own efforts and destiny," Zhang Tianshi replied calmly.

He didn't take the matter to heart, after all, whether Zhang Beixing could successfully cultivate the "Huangting Scripture" would not have any impact on him.

He said that simply to encourage and support Zhang Beixing.

Of course, if Zhang Beixing could truly succeed in cultivating the "Huangting Jing," he would feel very happy and gratified.

After all, the Huangting Jing is a supreme Taoist classic, and very few people can successfully cultivate it.

If Zhang Beixing can successfully cultivate the Yellow Court True Qi, then he will undoubtedly be a direct disciple of the Taoist lineage.

This is of great significance to the entire Taoist community.

"Yes, I understand," Zhang Beixing nodded and said, "I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to Master Zhang's expectations!"

He did not take Zhang Tianshi's words as mere politeness, but rather as encouragement and motivation for himself.

He knew that his opportunity was hard-won, so he would cherish it and work hard to cultivate the "Huang Ting Jing" so as to become a true cultivator as soon as possible.

"Well then, work hard," said Master Zhang. "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

Although he had never practiced the "Huangting Scripture," he was, after all, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and his understanding and comprehension of the path of cultivation were extremely profound.

Therefore, if Zhang Beixing encounters any difficulties or confusion during his cultivation, he can certainly ask him for advice.

"Thank you, Master Zhang!" Zhang Beixing said again.

With Zhang Tianshi's words, his confidence in his ability to successfully cultivate the "Huangting Jing" increased even more.

"No need to be so polite," Zhang Tianshi said calmly. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

Zhang Beixing stared at the now-black phone screen and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Finally, we received a definite answer from Master Zhang.

Although Zhang Tianshi did not directly state whether he could successfully cultivate the "Huangting Jing", he at least pointed out a path for himself.

What I need to do next is to cultivate according to the cultivation method recorded in the "Huang Ting Jing".

Having thought this through, he no longer hesitated or wavered, and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground to begin his cultivation...

Time flies by.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When Zhang Beixing opened his eyes again, it was already completely dark.

He slowly stood up from the ground, stretched, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Phew... I've finally gotten the hang of it!"

After several hours of practice, he had successfully grasped the cultivation method recorded in the *Huangting Jing*.
Moreover, he successfully condensed the first wisp of Yellow Court True Qi! ...

Although this wisp of Yellow Court True Qi was extremely weak and tiny, almost negligible.

However, this means that he has officially entered the ranks of cultivators!

"Not bad, not bad, at least my efforts haven't been in vain." Zhang Beixing looked at his hands and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He could clearly sense the presence of the Yellow Court True Qi within his body.

Although this wisp of Yellow Court True Qi was weak and small, it brought him an indescribable feeling of comfort and pleasure.

He understood that this was a normal reaction after successfully cultivating.

After all, cultivators are beings who are superior to ordinary people.

They not only possess strength and methods far exceeding those of ordinary people, but also enjoy treatment and benefits that ordinary people cannot attain.

For example, lifespan!

Cultivators generally live much longer than ordinary people.

A master like Zhang Tianshi could practically live as long as heaven and earth!

Of course, that level of achievement is still too far away for Zhang Beixing.

He has only just stepped into the realm of cultivation; he still has a long way to go before reaching that level.

Even so, he was already very satisfied.

After all, he was still young and had extremely high comprehension and talent.

Given enough time and resources to grow, he might very well reach that level!
"Next, I should go find Li Wenjing and the others," Zhang Beixing said to himself, glancing at the time.

It was almost 10 p.m.

The library must have almost finished tidying up.

If I don't go over soon, Li Wenjing and the others will probably get impatient.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately turned and walked towards the library...

A few minutes later, he arrived at the library entrance.

The library doors were tightly shut, and the inside was pitch black, clearly indicating that no one was there anymore.

"It seems they've already left," Zhang Beixing muttered to himself, glancing at the tightly closed door.

He wasn't too surprised or disappointed, after all, it was getting late.

Li Wenjing and the others must have finished organizing the materials and left the library long ago.

I came here just to say hello, nothing else.

"Never mind, I'll see them again tomorrow anyway, I'll explain then."

Zhang Beixing shook his head and turned to leave.

However, just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed that there was a crack in the side door of the library!
The gap was small, but large enough for one person to pass through.

Zhang Beixing was slightly taken aback, then a thought struck him.

Could it be that Li Wenjing and the others hadn't left yet, but instead entered the library through a side door?

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately walked toward the side door.

Behind the side door was a dimly lit corridor with rows of closed rooms on either side.

These rooms are likely storage rooms or reading rooms in a library.

It was late at night, and the corridor was deserted, with only the dim yellow light flickering.

Zhang Beixing walked along the corridor and soon arrived at its end.

At the end of the path was a half-open door, and faint whispers could be heard coming from behind it.

"Could they be inside?"

Zhang Beixing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pushed open the door and went inside. (End of Chapter)
