Complete one practice method every day

Chapter 104 will teach you? No time!

Behind the desk sat a disciple dressed in a dark blue deacon's uniform, who was looking down and flipping through a thick book.

"Senior Brother Liu." Wang Feng stepped forward and greeted him in a low voice, while gesturing for Chen Yue to take out the outer disciple token he had just obtained.

Senior Brother Liu raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Wang Feng and Chen Yue before landing on the token that Chen Yue had handed over.

He took the token, lightly tracing the characters "Danfeng" on the back with his finger, seemingly as some kind of verification. Then, he nodded, took a booklet from under the table, and handed it to Chen Yue.

"Newly admitted outer disciple, receive a copy of the first three levels of the foundational cultivation technique, Rock-Solid Technique. This technique may only be practiced by yourself; it is strictly forbidden to pass it on to others without authorization. Violators will be severely punished. The copy must be returned within one month."

Senior Brother Liu spoke calmly, yet with an undeniable seriousness, as he reiterated the rules.

"Disciple understands and will abide by the rules." Chen Yue took the booklet, which still carried a faint scent of ink, with both hands and carefully put it away.

Wang Feng thanked Senior Brother Liu, then turned and left the Hidden Skill Pavilion with Chen Yue.

On the way back to Danfeng, Wang Feng said to Chen Yue, "This Rock-Stone Skill is one of the foundations of our Rock-Stone Sect. It emphasizes external training of muscles, bones, and skin, and internal training of breath, laying a solid foundation for subsequent internal and external cultivation."

The technique also includes a basic set of accompanying body movements called the Rock Step. While not flashy, it is stable and solid, perfectly complementing the technique and allowing the user to maintain their posture while moving, facilitating both power generation and defense.

He glanced at Chen Yue and smiled, "Of course, if you have a preference for movement techniques, or feel that the Rock Step is not enough, you can save up some contribution points in the future and exchange them for other more exquisite movement techniques at the Memory Pavilion."

The contribution points required to exchange for these basic cultivation techniques aren't too high. As a disciple of Danfeng, accumulating them through completing alchemy tasks shouldn't be difficult. You can browse the Scripture Repository Pavilion later when you have time to see the specific exchange list and required contribution points.

Chen Yue nodded, indicating that he had made a mental note of it. He now had a general idea of ​​how to acquire more cultivation techniques and martial arts skills.

Next, Wang Feng did not send Chen Yue directly back to Danfeng, but instead took him on a general tour inside the Panshi Gate to familiarize him with the environment.

He pointed to the various peaks, halls, and courtyards, and introduced them in a low voice: "That is the main hall of the main peak, where the sect leader and the elders discuss matters. Ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach."

"That's the Martial Arts Peak, a place where disciples from different peaks often spar, compete, and settle grudges. Try to avoid it to avoid being accidentally injured."

""

"The back mountain area is off-limits. Unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited and will be severely punished."

As they walked and introduced things, about half an hour later, Wang Feng led Chen Yue to Panshi Peak, the main gathering and residence area for outer sect disciples.

Compared to the main peak and Dan Peak, this peak has a gentler terrain, and the buildings are much denser and simpler, mostly rows of courtyards. The air is filled with a stronger sense of daily life and the shouts of people practicing martial arts.

"With so many outer disciples, the sect cannot simply let them run wild."

Wang Feng pointed to the courtyards and said, "Therefore, outer disciples are also guided, usually by some senior uncles or elder brothers from within the sect. If you encounter any difficulties while practicing the Rock-Solid Technique, you can go and ask them for guidance."

Wang Feng paused, then added with a hint of reminder, "However, Junior Brother Chen, you must understand that these senior uncles in charge of outer sect disciples usually have to guide dozens of them. They also need to cultivate themselves, so they don't have much time to give guidance."

Most of the time, it relies on the disciples' own figurative understanding and communication among themselves.

Chen Yue immediately understood Wang Feng's implication: outer disciples are basically left to their own devices. They might have one opportunity for a group Q&A session each month, but it's almost impossible to get frequent guidance.

Asking for advice too often might actually annoy people.

Wang Feng led Chen Yue through the intricate paths of Panshi Peak for a while, finally arriving at a quiet and elegant house located in a secluded spot on the mountainside.

The courtyard wall is not high, and several clumps of green bamboo can be seen growing inside, making the environment quite quiet.

"This is it."

,

Wang Feng stopped, pointed to the courtyard gate, and whispered to Chen Yue, "The person living inside is Uncle Meng Yujin, who will be your nominal outer sect master from now on. Uncle Meng has profound cultivation and prefers peace and quiet, so be careful later."

As he spoke, Wang Feng stepped forward, respectfully raised his hand, and knocked three times on the courtyard gate, neither too hard nor too soft.

"Tap, tap, tap."

A moment later, the courtyard gate creaked open from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a woman who appeared to be in her thirties and was wearing an elegant light blue dress.

She stood tall and straight, with a cool and aloof demeanor, her gaze calmly sweeping over Wang Feng and Chen Yue outside the door.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yue's eyes. When he heard Wang Feng mention the name Meng Yujin, he subconsciously thought it was a male martial artist, but he didn't expect it to be a female martial artist.

Moreover, with his keen senses after cultivating the Mind Cultivation Technique, he could vaguely sense the aura emanating from this Uncle-Master Meng. It was as deep and profound as an abyss, obscure and difficult to understand, far surpassing the cultivation levels of Chen Xuanli and others who were at the Marrow Refining Realm. It was at least at the Dirty Refining Realm or above!

"What is it?" Meng Yujin asked, his voice clear and melodious, but without much emotional fluctuation, his gaze fixed on Wang Feng.

Wang Feng quickly cupped his hands in a respectful manner: "Uncle-Master Meng, I apologize for disturbing your cultivation. This is Chen Yue, a newly initiated disciple and an outer disciple of Dan Peak. According to the arrangements of the Affairs Hall, if Chen Yue has any questions about basic martial arts cultivation in the future, we will need your guidance."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to let Chen Yue pass.

Chen Yue stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Disciple Chen Yue greets Uncle Meng."

Meng Yujin's gaze fell on Chen Yue, and he calmly looked him over, his eyes expressionless.

She nodded and said in a calm tone, "Since you are under my instruction, you should abide by the rules and diligently continue your studies."

My time is limited. If you have any questions about cultivation, you may come to this courtyard at noon on the fifth day of each month to ask. I will answer them as appropriate. The next meeting will be in nine days. At other times, please do not disturb me unless summoned.

After saying that, she stopped looking at Chen Yue and turned to Wang Feng: "Is there anything else?"

Wang Feng quickly shook his head and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle Meng. There's nothing else."

Meng Yujin remained silent, only nodding slightly before turning around and closing the courtyard gate again, cutting off the view between inside and outside.

Throughout the entire conversation, he spoke concisely and maintained a distant attitude, showing no extra interest or care for the new disciple.

Wang Feng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe away non-existent sweat from his forehead, and whispered to Chen Yue, "Uncle Meng is aloof and doesn't like to talk much. But her cultivation is profound, and being able to receive guidance from her once a month is a rare opportunity for you outer disciples. Remember the time."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Wang," Chen Yue replied.

"Alright, you know the general situation inside the sect, you've received the sect rules, and you've met your master. I won't accompany you to Danfeng anymore; I have to rush back to the mountain gate to continue my duty," Wang Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Wang, may I accompany you to the mountain gate again? I need to tell my brother who is waiting outside the mountain gate the result so that he can return to the city to make arrangements without worry."

"Oh, that's certainly possible. Now that you're a fellow disciple, you only need to show your token to enter and exit the mountain gate. Come on, I'll take you there." Wang Feng readily agreed.

The two then turned back and headed towards the mountain gate.

Before long, we arrived at the magnificent mountain gate again.

Shen Dujiang was sitting on a large rock by the roadside, glancing at the mountain path from time to time. When he saw Chen Yue and Wang Feng returning together, his eyes lit up and he quickly got up to greet them.

"How is it?" Shen Dujiang asked in a low voice, his gaze searching Chen Yue's face.

Chen Yue smiled, nodded to Shen Dujiang, and said, "Everything went smoothly. I have joined the Pan Shi Sect and am now an outer disciple of Dan Peak. From now on, I will cultivate here."

Wang Feng glanced at Shen Dujiang and said to Chen Yue, "Junior Brother Chen, you talk to your brother. I'll go back to my post now. If you have any questions about anything in the sect in the future, you can come to the mountain gate to find me."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang," Chen Yue said again.

Wang Feng waved his hand and turned to walk towards his post.

Once Wang Feng was out of sight, the worry on Shen Dujiang's face finally vanished completely, replaced by an irrepressible smile of joy.

He patted Chen Yue's shoulder forcefully and whispered, "That's great! Brother Chen, now that you've joined the Rock Stone Sect, we finally have a foothold in Tianzhou Prefecture, and we're no longer helpless drifters!"

Chen Yue could sense Shen Dujiang's heartfelt joy and expectation. He smiled and nodded: "Boss Shen, now that things are settled here, you should go back to the city to meet up with Brother Hu and Master Lin, rent the courtyard, and settle in."

I need to familiarize myself with things inside the gate for a while. Once everything is settled, I'll find time to return to the city and reunite with you all. From now on, I'll need your continued support while I'm away.

"Don't worry! Leave the matters within the city to me and Lao Hu. You can focus on your cultivation within the sect," Shen Dujiang said, patting his chest.

After exchanging a few more words, Shen Dujiang, with a broad smile on his face, turned and strode towards Tianzhou City.

Chen Yue stood beneath the majestic gate of Panshimen, watching Shen Dujiang's departing figure, and then once again bowed to Wang Feng, who was still on duty at the gate, to express his gratitude.

Wang Feng simply waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

Chen Yue returned alone to the Hundred Herbs Pavilion where Danfeng was located, following the path that Wang Feng had led him along.

The hall still smelled of medicine, but it was quieter than before. He found Zhao Weiyuan, who was still working at the same table, and stepped forward to bow respectfully.

Zhao Weiyuan looked up and saw Chen Yue. He put down the book in his hand and asked, "You're back? You've roughly walked through the various parts of the sect. Have you understood the rules and the situation?"

Chen Yue nodded and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Uncle-Master Zhao, Senior Brother Wang Feng has already led me to several important locations, and I have a general understanding of the rules for outer disciples."

"Okay, that's good."

Zhao Weiyuan nodded slightly, acknowledging his acceptance: "Now that you've joined my Danfeng Peak, there are some things I need to make clear to you. Danfeng Peak is different from other peaks; we won't teach you how to strengthen your bones and muscles or cultivate martial arts here. Those are matters for your outer sect masters to handle."

The only path taught at Danfeng is the Dao of Alchemy. However, alchemy is not something that can be accomplished in a day; it requires gradual progress, so we will leave that aside for now.

Let me first tell you about the specific matters concerning alchemy during your time on Danfeng.

"Yes, please instruct me, Uncle-Master." Chen Yue's expression turned solemn as he listened attentively.
