Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 187 Vibrant
As soon as the sun rose, He Yuanbing got up from the bed. At this time, the loyal servant who came from the He family had already prepared a golden basin and a brocade handkerchief and was standing outside the house.

During the time that He Yuanbin came to Chongming Sect to practice, his food, clothing and other expenses were indeed much simpler than when he was at home, but in terms of ostentation, he was still the most particular among his many fellow disciples.

After all, he had been used to being a young master in the He family. If he was suddenly asked not to be served by others, he would find it hard to accept it.

Jiang Qing had asked about it once at first, but seeing that this disciple was quite diligent in his practice apart from these minor details, he stopped talking about it.

Cultivation is a very personal matter, even as a close elder, one can only give advice and guidance, but not force a path for others to follow. Some people practice hard, but it is not as fast as playing games in the secular world.

You choose your own path, and so do the consequences.

After washing up carefully and instructing his loyal servant to guard the courtyard, He Yuanbing set out for the scripture room.

Pei Yi was supposed to be on duty for the morning class in the Sutra Room today, but Pei Yi got married last night, so Kang Dabao forced him to rest for ten days and not to rush into work.

Since he was resting, the morning class that was supposed to be taught by Pei Yi this month was now in charge of Jiang Qing. Compared to Pei Yi, the relatively gentle elder who taught martial arts, Jiang Qing was undoubtedly someone that the younger generations both respected and feared.

For this reason, He Yuanbin came to the Sutra Room a quarter of an hour earlier than usual today. But even so, when he stepped into the Sutra Room, the room was already full of his fellow disciples.

The sound of chanting scriptures slowly came into his ears. He saw that his fellow disciples who usually could not sit still were now sitting upright with no intention of slacking off. He realized how famous Jiang Qing was.

"No wonder I heard that the head master asked Master to take charge of the morning and evening scriptures from now on." He Yuanbing did not dare to be negligent and found his own cushion and sat down.

Next to He Yuanbing were Mo Ku and Yuan Changsheng. The former was gnawing at a large book with a bitter face. As a casual cultivator, he was not very good at classics and theories, so he was the first choice to be selected by the teachers for examination.
The latter also frowned and looked miserable. Due to the influence of his father's kindness, the teachers were also very caring towards him. Often after Mo Ku was called, it would be Yuan Changsheng's turn to stand up. This little guy couldn't help but feel miserable.

"Hello, Uncle/Uncle/Master." Han Yundao, the current eldest disciple, took the lead in standing up and greeting.

Jiang Qing, who had just entered the scripture room, walked to the podium and stood under the plaque with the words "Lao Xue" written by the head of Kangda. He glanced at the number of disciples and confirmed that there were no absentees without reason. Then he nodded and said, "Sit down."

Today is the day for dismissal. Except for the regular classes on the fifth and tenth days, when the teachers will lead the disciples in reciting scriptures together, the disciples will study the scriptures on their own during the dismissal periods at other times.

After all, everyone's cultivation level and focus are different, and most of the time, you still have to rely on your own study. The significance of the teachers' appearance in the casual classes is more to answer the disciples' questions.

Somewhat surprisingly, today Jiang Qing just explained the meaning of scriptures to his disciples as usual, without any examination, and ended the morning class early.

The disciples all breathed a sigh of relief. If they couldn't answer Jiang Qing's test, they would really be punished with a ruler. The physical pain was fine, but if they lost face in front of all the fellow disciples, it would be fatal.

After all, the disciples are still young and it is time for them to save face.

Mo Ku, who escaped the disaster, was the first to rush out of the scripture room. Recently, Zhou Yixiu had opened up five acres of spiritual fields at the Hengshan Ye family, which were handed over to him for exclusive management.

Rather than spending his whole life studying classics in the scripture room, this honest child prefers farming in the fields. The feeling of his sweat dropping on the ground and breaking into pieces makes him feel very at ease.

As for the more distant path of cultivation, it was still a bit too extravagant for Mo Ku. Perhaps when he had descendants, it would be more realistic to place his hopes on them.

Yuan Changsheng walked to Kang Rongquan calmly. Although his master Pei Yi had no time to teach him these days, given his family background, the teachers in Chongming Sect would not refuse.

However, this time, Kang Rongquan, as Pei Yi's eldest disciple, was very good at sharing the worries of his teacher and took the initiative to take over the job of teaching Yuan Changsheng.

After all, relying on his outstanding aptitude of three spiritual roots, Kang Rongquan has already reached the third level of Qi training. This speed of practice has left all his fellow brothers far behind.

He is about to become the first disciple to break through the middle stage of Qi training, so he is naturally qualified to teach Yuan Changsheng, his junior brother.

He Yuanbing chatted with Jin Shilun very familiarly. Although Jin Shilun was born in a common family, he was also a young master at home. The two had similar backgrounds, and He Yuanbing learned a set of skills to get along with people from his father, so he and Jin Shilun got along naturally.

The disciples went to the kitchen to have breakfast one after another, and Mo'er was the one helping Jin Shilun in the kitchen today.

Mo'er finally succeeded in awakening his spirit half a month ago and became a genuine cultivator. The hardships and difficulties he went through are truly beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Normally, since Mo'er is already a cultivator, according to the tradition of Chongming Sect, the job of helping in the kitchen should be handed over to new disciples such as Song Hui and Dong Liu'er, but Mo'er was reluctant to hand it over.

She is a thoughtful person and thinks that being a chef is a good skill. Her senior brother Jin Shilun is generous and willing to teach her some practical skills. With time, she may be able to achieve something.

After all, she really had no future in the path of cultivation. The difficulty of cultivation for a person with five spiritual roots could be seen from how much time and resources she spent on drawing the spirit into her body.

Since there is no hope of becoming an immortal, it would be better to learn a practical skill.

After all, although she is pretty, not to mention Zhang Le and Ye Yaoling, even Zhou Xinran cannot compare to her. However, it is not enough for a cultivator to have only pretty faces. Using beauty to entertain others will eventually lead to inferiority.

According to her thoughts, if she could learn the cooking skills, it would be helpful for her to get married in the future and have more capital.

He Yuanbing also liked this very pretty senior sister, but he was still young, and all he had in his heart was the pure beauty of a young Mo Ai, without any unspeakable evil thoughts.

After breakfast, He Yuanbin came to the place where the robot puppets were trained alone.

The internal system of Chongming Sect has matured. For young people like He Yuanbing, training robot puppets is no longer a free place. They need to pay good deeds to activate them.

There is no shortage of good deeds and congratulations.

Some time ago, he, Han Yundao, Zhou Xinran and several other older brothers and sisters went to the blue silver mine in Tanggu County to help the monks of the Kuai family to wipe out several mortal bandit nests and drive away the first-level monsters.

He Yuanbing cut off the heads of two first-grade low-grade monsters during this mission, and thus gained a lot of good deeds.

In addition to exchanging the merits gained for some elixirs for early stage Qi training cultivators in the sect's treasury, most of the remaining merits were used to drive this training mechanical puppet.

This training robot puppet was purchased by the head of Kangda from a shop in Qiaogongbao in Xuanwei City. Although it was not up to standard in the eyes of fellow disciples like Jiang Qing and Yuan Jin, it was unexpectedly favored by young disciples like He Yuanbin.

After all, they lack experience and their fighting skills are very scarce, and the not-so-outstanding strength of the training robot puppets just helps them make up for their shortcomings.

Because of this, the opportunities to use training robot puppets are extremely limited, and there are often long queues of fellow apprentices waiting.

However, He Yuanbing arrived earlier today and finally got to use it first. He set the training robot puppet to a level 4 Qi training machine that uses a flying sword. He Yuanbing himself sacrificed a golden-backed broadsword. The young man changed his middle finger slightly, and flames burst out from the golden blade, which looked amazing.

Although He Yuanbing became Jiang Qing's disciple, after he had practiced sword techniques for half a year, his master Jiang Qing concluded that he did not have the talent to be a sword practitioner.

This is normal. As the founding disciple of Master Kangda, Han Yundao also received the careful teaching of Jiang Qing and also practiced the "Three Yang Classics".

Han Yundao did not give up and continued to study the "Three Yang Sword Art", but he did not grasp the essence of the book. Although it seemed that he was just a superficial person, if he claimed to be a sword practitioner based on this, he would be a laughing stock to all the experts.

This is normal. Since the sword cultivators' combat power is far superior to those at the same level, the threshold is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The Chongming clan, with its small population, was lucky enough to have a brilliant Jiang Qing in the past few decades, and shouldn't expect too much.

However, although He Yuanbing had been unable to make progress in practicing the "Three Yang Classics", he was quite successful in practicing another lower-grade Hong-level technique, the "Mianshan Fire Wind Art".

This lower-grade Hong-level martial arts technique has a complete system and clear annotations. It can be practiced to the early stage of the Golden Core without changing it. In fact, it was one of the dowries brought by the concubine of the Fei family who was originally scheduled to marry the head of the Kang family.

After the last incident, the Fei family might have felt embarrassed, so Fei Shuhe's dowry was still generous as usual, but the concubine's daughter's dowry was not taken back.

This was a great benefit to the Chongming Sect. Such a complete Hong-level technique was a treasure to the Chongming Sect, a small force in need of reconstruction.

After obtaining this method, Master Kang had studied it carefully with several of his fellow disciples. By the end of the reading, even Ye Zhengwen had the idea of ​​switching to practicing this method.

After all, although the technique he had been practicing since childhood was of the upper grade of the Wilderness Rank, it was still far behind the "Mianshan Fire Wind Art". But in the end, Ye Zhengwen still couldn't make up his mind.

The four words "disperse power and start over" sound extremely simple, but if an old late-stage Qi training cultivator like Ye Zhengwen really wants to make up his mind, it is not an easy task.

Although Jiang Qing had not learned the "Mianshan Fire Wind Art", he had the same vision of practicing the Hong-level fire-based exercises. They were of the same mind, so he could teach He Yuanbing with ease.

Even He Yuanbing himself did not expect that after abandoning the He family's inherited skills and turning to practice this method, he would find it very suitable for cultivation.

It was several times faster than expected. After dispersing his energy and starting over, he had reached the second level of Qi training in just a few months. He was about to surpass Kang Rongquan, who had the highest level of cultivation among his peers.

But according to the words of Master Kang, "A practitioner who only knows how to practice is not really a practitioner at all."

It might be because of He Degong's genes. Compared with his smooth practice, He Yuanbing's talent in fighting is mediocre.

Even Kang Rongquan, who was the least skilled in fighting in the Chongming Sect, was able to defeat him effortlessly when he competed with him.

After entering the sect, he had always lost more than he won in sparring with his fellow apprentices. This made He Yuanbing, who came from a wealthy family and was very proud, feel embarrassed. These days, he was immersed in fighting with the training robot puppet.

Although He Yuanbing has only reached the second level of Qi training, the training robot puppet is set to the fourth level of Qi training.

After all, the latter's strength is only at the level of ordinary casual cultivators. Although He Yuanbin's fighting skills are slightly inferior, he still has no pressure to defeat casual cultivators of the same level. If he wants to make a breakthrough, he should of course choose a more powerful opponent.

After He Yuan handed over his reward to the merit-recording puppet nearby, his sparring with the training robot puppet soon began.

Seeing the flying sword of the training machine puppet on the opposite side shooting from a distance, He Yuanbin's eyes focused and the blade began to flame. He stretched out his hand and a strong wind blew, carrying the flame and burning the flying sword.

The flying sword of the training robot soon emerged from the raging fire. He Yuanbin frowned and took out a green bronze mirror again to block the flying sword.

The higher the level of the magic weapon used by the monk, the better it is not. The key is to make it suitable for use.

Using the cultivation level of the second level of Qi training to control two top-grade mid-level magical instruments only lasted for a moment before the inexperienced He Yuanbin's spiritual power was slightly weakened, and he was nearly injured by the flying sword that bypassed the green bronze mirror.

Fortunately, the training robot puppets produced by Qiaogongbao are cheap, and there is a reason why they are cheap.

The training robot puppet could only numbly use the flying sword to attack He Yuanbing continuously. It had not mastered the sword-controlling skills and did not have any other sharp methods.

This gave He Yuanbing the opportunity to fight back. A bright light suddenly appeared in the middle of the green bronze mirror, which froze the flying sword for a moment. The training robot puppet's originally smooth movements stagnated, and it failed to dodge in time when facing the golden-backed broadsword thrown by He Yuanbing.

With just this one flaw, He Yuanbing seized the opportunity. This golden-backed broadsword was given to him by Jiang Qing himself after he became his disciple. Its power was not bad, but it had not been refined for a long time, so its power was not impressive.

But even so, He Yuanbing still used the golden-backed broadsword to wear down the outer shield of the training machine puppet, and then chopped it down on the top of the training machine puppet with a heavy blow, knocking it to the ground.

"Huh." Having narrowly defeated the training robot puppet, He Yuanbin left the martial arts training room, breathing heavily.

None of his fellow disciples were lazy people. As soon as he came out and was waiting at the door, Pei Que, who was at the second level of Qi training, smiled at him and then walked in.

After just half a pack of cigarettes, Pei Que came out again.

"Brother, did you win so quickly?" He Yuanbin asked curiously, only to hear Pei Que say slowly with a smile in his eyes: "The training robot puppet is indeed not that powerful. It is not difficult to win at the fifth level of Qi training."

After hearing this, He Yuanbing fell silent, and even the slight excitement that had just arisen in him faded away.

At this time, Duan Anle, who had gone out early in the morning, also came back. Today, he followed the instructions of his teachers and drove the trained pack team in the sect to hand them over to Lu Xun, the head of the Lu family, and asked them to prepare for the Chongming Sect's caravan.

Unexpectedly, during the delivery process, he received a piece of news that aroused the interest of his fellow apprentices.
