From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 388 Genius and "Genius"

"Pfft."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiujie was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter, laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight and tears were streaming down his face.

"If a cultivator finds it incredibly difficult to even draw qi into their body, how can they possibly continue cultivating?"

"Back in the day, I only used..."

Chen Xiujie was almost laughing to death. Where did this kid hear such a thing? Three months to guide qi into the body? He didn't even need three hours back then; he only needed to read the cultivation method once to succeed.

So, even basic [method] level techniques aren't something anyone can master.
"Snapped."

But at that moment, a hand patted Chen Xiujie on the back, interrupting him from the second half of his sentence.

"Qinglian is really amazing. Back then, it took me a whole year to guide my Qi into my body."

"You're far more talented than me."

You Ming's figure gently appeared, his face always carrying a gentle smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

To be fair, what he said wasn't entirely fabricated.

When You Ming first started cultivating, his aptitude wasn't very good. Although it didn't take him a whole year, it still took him three months to successfully draw Qi into his body.

However, he didn't have such good conditions back then; he relied entirely on his tenacity.

"Cough cough cough."

Chen Xiujie choked on the slap from You Ming.

He looked at You Ming with a strange expression, then at the little girl.

With his limited experience, he really couldn't understand why You Ming would teach such an ordinary person.

Asking mortals to cultivate immortality is essentially going against the will of Heaven. This is only the first hurdle in cultivation. The subsequent practices become increasingly complex and abstract. Without sufficient comprehension, one cannot go far.

Could this little girl be Brother You Ming's illegitimate daughter?

It doesn't seem like it. Putting aside the fact that Brother Youming is a carp, even with his current bloodline, his offspring shouldn't have such poor talent.

"Uh, yes."

"Back then, it took me two years to get the hang of it."

Although Chen Xiujie didn't know what had happened, he still changed his expression and quickly tried to cover it up.

"I can tell that you really like Qinglian, Xiu Jie. So I'll have to trouble you to take care of her from now on."

"I may have to go out of town soon, so I'll leave Qinglian's cultivation to you."

You Ming turned to look at Chen Xiujie.

"what?"

Chen Xiujie's eyes widened suddenly. You want me to teach her cultivation? Can't you just transfer my magic power directly to her? That might be faster.

"Qinglian is very clever and won't take you too long."

"However, Qinglian, you must also work hard. If you ever reach the [Opening Acupoint] realm, I will give you a gift."

You Ming patted Yang Qinglian on the head and said encouragingly.

"no problem!"

Yang Qinglian nodded vigorously. Her brother You Ming had told her before that after guiding Qi into the body, there would be no more bottlenecks before the Qi was opened.

All you need to do is find a place with abundant spiritual energy and refine it little by little.

Once spiritual energy fills the entire body, and the seven orifices serve as channels connecting the inside and outside, opening the acupoints allows magical power to leave the body; this is considered the attainment of the "opened acupoints" cultivator.

Yang Qinglian had just broken through to a higher realm today, so she was naturally full of confidence.

Chen Xiujie slapped his forehead.

He had witnessed Yang Qinglian's incredibly slow pace, like a donkey pulling a millstone. At this rate, it would probably take more than ten years to reach the "enlightenment" stage.

Chen Xiujie felt that he might get so angry that he would have a stroke. "Brother You."

"I'm currently practicing a supernatural power, so I might not have time..."

Chen Xiujie's face was full of embarrassment.

"A few days ago, the Azure Divine Tree shed a [Branch of No Life]. I don't know what to do with it. It seems I can only use it as firewood."

You Ming sighed, and with a flick of his wrist, a bare tree branch appeared.

The branches are pale white like jade, with veins resembling meridians, conveying a sense of desolation.

"I'll take this job. I love working with kids!"

The moment Chen Xiujie saw the branch, his eyes lit up, and he grabbed it as quickly as possible.

He cultivates the Way of Fire, and his body is filled with intense, fiery energy, as if flames are constantly burning.

Fire will eventually burn itself if it has no wood to burn.

With the help of this branch, the path of fire can be taken to a higher level.

The moment he touched the branch, he immediately felt the fire within his body no longer raging like a raging inferno, but rather as if there was an ever-flowing source of fuel, the fire becoming steady and enduring.

"nice one."

His eyes gleamed with firelight, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

……

You Ming left the cave. Although Chen Xiujie was sometimes a bit eccentric, he was, after all, a [Dharma Aspect] Grand Cultivator and a very intelligent person.

Yang Qinglian felt relatively at ease letting him help with the education.

Of course, he would never admit that he just wanted to take a break.

After all, teaching a girl of average talent to cultivate requires immense patience and composure. Even You Ming felt somewhat exhausted.

The thought that he wouldn't have to work as a nanny for a while made him feel much better.

With light and quick steps, he arrived at a cold pool at the foot of Yuanling Mountain.

The pool water is as clear as jade, and after several expansions, it is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen.

You Ming specially brought over a root from the Azure Extreme Divine Tree to transport spiritual energy to the Cold Pool.

Therefore, the pool is shrouded in mist all year round, and is full of spiritual energy.

At the bottom of the pool, a small white dragon lay curled up asleep.

Although its body was already over thirty feet long, its dragon scales were delicate and fine, like white jade, and its dragon horns were just beginning to grow, curved like a new moon, indicating that it was still a young dragon.

Its sleeping posture was extremely quiet, with its four hooves tucked in and its tail wrapped around its sides, like a young snake resting peacefully, yet a hint of dragon's majesty emanated from between its brows.

With each breath, the water in the pool surged.

As it inhales, the shimmering light in the pool, like countless starlight, is drawn into its breath and absorbed into its blood. As it exhales, wisps of white mist are released, carrying a pure chill that makes the entire pool bottom even more eerily cold.

The spiritual energy of the entire cold pool gradually converged towards it, as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was willing to be swallowed by it.

You Ming took a quick look and found that the little white dragon's current strength was probably equivalent to the [Profound Light] level. Perhaps it hadn't reached that level yet, but because of the dragon race's unique physique, ordinary Profound Light cultivators probably couldn't defeat it.

However, in You Ming's opinion, the progress was still a bit slow.

While this method of improving one's cultivation through sleep is simple and safe, it is extremely inefficient.

You Ming also placed high hopes on the little white dragon.

"Looks like I have to give him a hand."

With that in mind, You Ming turned on the compass and entered a cheat code.

[Innate bloodline].

Function: To trace the origins of the bloodline, recall the hidden glorious genes, and enable them to be reawakened, expressed, and strengthened in future generations, and passed down from generation to generation.
