Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

The journey back was uneventful.

When Lu Qian saw Xie Xunzhen again, he asked, "I feel that my cultivation in the Starfall Land was very effective. Can I go there again?"

Xie Xunzhen stopped in his tracks. "Cultivating in the Starfall Land, the Earth's extreme magnetic field will suppress the cultivator's body and mind, and it will also have some effect on true qi, which is why it can serve as a training method."

"But it's only useful in the short term. If it takes too long, it may cause some unpleasant consequences. So apart from some high-level cultivators who go there specifically to refine treasures, most people don't really like it."

Lu Qian had anticipated this. Such a good place, yet he only took people there occasionally, must have some drawbacks. But he cultivated the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao and was not afraid of this. On the contrary, it would even bring him some benefits, so he naturally didn't care. "Tell Elder Tao what you said, and he should make some arrangements."

Xie Xunzhen knew too little, so he naturally had some questions about these things, but he didn't press further and just nodded.

Just before the class, Jin Changgeng talked about the key points of releasing the Five Elements magic and how to adapt to the influence of the environment.

Everyone had just returned from the Starfall Land where the Five Elements were forbidden, and they all felt that their control was still somewhat insufficient, so they listened attentively.

In fact, Lu Qian had already discovered after being here for a while that Zhou Tian Academy rarely talked about the key points of cultivation. This part was either something he had to figure out on his own or something he had to ask the instructors he was assigned. Most of them came from cultivation families and had family experience to learn from.

A small number of geniuses either receive instruction from individuals specially assigned by the Holy Land, or they engage in discussions with others who cultivate the same techniques; in short, they each have their own methods.

Ultimately, many people do not choose the same training methods, so they cannot be taught together.

These courses mostly focus on how to fight, how to prevent the enemy's strange tactics, how to break common formations, and how to deal with unusual poisons.

Occasionally, some rarely circulated secrets will be interspersed, which is meant to broaden the students' horizons.

"Actually, you don't necessarily need to be in the classroom to learn these things. Go to the first floor of the library, where you can browse many things for free, but it will take some time."

Seeing that Lu Qian seemed to be a little confused, Mu Dong pointed out a clear path for him: "But some things are not very useful just by reading a page in a book. You still need the teacher to demonstrate them in class so that you can remember them."

To be honest, Lu Qian has never been to the Scripture Pavilion. His most important task right now is to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining. He has also been trying to learn the Stellar Undying Body technique. It can be said that all his time has been occupied, and he has no intention of going anywhere else.

Moreover, Lu Qian is unable to leave the Holy Land at this stage, so there is no need for him to know so much.

Even after the course ended, Jin Changgeng showed no sign of leaving. Many people seemed to sense something and began to whisper among themselves.

"Is that coming?"

"Judging by the time, it should be about right!"

"Hopefully, they won't go too far, otherwise there won't be enough time to set up the house, and accidents could easily happen!"

"This is not something you or I can decide."

Seeing that Jin Changgeng hadn't left, and that no one else had left either, they all seemed to have a premonition of something, their faces solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It feels a bit like the atmosphere of my past life, when a major exam was just around the corner!"

Before important exams, regardless of whether the results are good or bad, everyone feels somewhat uneasy, and these people are pretty much like that now.

Lei Yunxing squeezed through the crowd without a care, touched his short-haired scalp, and looked excited. "I guess they're going to arrange some training missions. Time for real combat again!"

Mu Dong wasn't as excited as Lei Yunxing; instead, he looked helpless. "Training missions aren't easy to complete. Failure is a minor issue; what's truly terrible is an accident that could lead to injury or even more serious consequences."

"Brother Mu is right, so we should take this seriously!"

A burly young man, as big as a bear, walked over, his smile surprisingly憨厚 (honest and simple). "Any of you have someone you'd like to team up with? How about joining me next?"

"Bear Opening the Mountain?"

Upon seeing the burly young man approach, Mu Dong was initially startled, then gave an awkward smile, "Well... I need to discuss the team formation with a few friends first!"

Lei Yunxing's expression changed, but he didn't hold back at all and said, "You people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, you always act like the boss and the second-in-command, but now that it's time to team up, you remember your grandfather?"

It turns out this boy actually has a Heavenly Spiritual Root!

However, Lei Yunxing's comment that Xiong Kaishan was pretending was a bit much, because Lu Qian had been here for some time and had never heard of him before, which was enough to prove that he was quite low-key and could not be described as pretending at all.

Of course, Xiong Kaishan may be arrogant at heart, and no one can say for sure. But as a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is actually quite reasonable to be a little arrogant. This is one of the best talents. Is it a big deal to be a little arrogant?

Upon hearing Lei Yunxing's words, Xiong Kaishan felt greatly wronged. "You're always pretending to be Lin Guihai, not me! Don't confuse me with him! I'm just from a humble family; I wouldn't dare to chat and laugh with so many Golden Core descendants. I only came to make friends with you because you brothers looked kind!"

That's a bit malicious. As a Heavenly Spiritual Root, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiong Kaishan should be able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage at the very least in the future. So why wouldn't he dare to chat and laugh with a Golden Core descendant?

However, relatively speaking, in the Holy Land, a Heavenly Spiritual Root is nothing special, especially one that hasn't fully developed; others might not give it any face.

Moreover, Lu Qian had some understanding of this. Most people in Zhou Tian Academy were low-key but difficult to approach. No matter if you had a Heavenly Spiritual Root or something else, it was still difficult to get others to fawn over you. Who wasn't a genius?

If Xiong Kaishan really came from a humble background and arrived early, it's quite possible that he was ridiculed because of his family's status, which is why he harbored resentment.

Mu Dong felt even more awkward standing to the side. He was a descendant of the Golden Core cultivator, and although he seemed easygoing, he wasn't really that approachable. He was just polite. Part of the reason he got close to Lu Qian was because of his family's instructions, and another reason was that he felt Lu Qian was alright after spending time with him.

Anyway, Mu Dong hadn't really gotten close to either of the only two Heavenly Spiritual Roots here, Lin Guihai or Xiong Kaishan. He had no reason to flatter them, nor was he interested in getting close to them.

Geniuses are mostly lonely. It's unlikely that they'll mingle like ordinary people. There are countless people around them in their daily lives, so they have no interest in suddenly befriending someone.
