Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

With a goal in mind, Li Gu's life suddenly became more energetic.

Every morning before dawn, he would run to the flower bushes to meditate and practice the "Hidden Flower Heart Method." By the time the other senior and junior brothers gathered and, led by the senior sister, recited the sect rules to start a new day, Li Gu was already covered in pollen from practicing, and smelled wonderful.

Every time he sat down in the crowd and recited the sect rules with everyone, the eldest senior sister Bai Yan and the second senior brother Zhou Shijie couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

They could sense that this junior brother named Li Gu had been working very hard lately and was catching up with them at an incredible speed.

Bai Yan asked curiously, "Why is he in such a hurry to graduate?"

Zhou Shijie laughed and said, "Wasn't it all your fault for provoking him? That day you told him that you were about to graduate and that once you graduated you could never return to Flower Valley. Maybe Meng Ting was just in love with him, and that the person he truly loved was you."

Bai Yan calmly uttered an "Oh," her face showing no emotion whatsoever, as if Zhou Shijie hadn't said anything at all.

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass swiftly.

A month of intensive training passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Gu's cultivation level has hit a bottleneck.

Between the 5th and 6th levels of the Qi Refining stage, there is a bottleneck that is not too difficult, which requires opening the Guanyuan acupoint.

Once you break through this barrier, you're not far from becoming a master.

On their first day of training, all disciples are told that they can graduate once they reach the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage in the Hidden Flower Heart Sutra. As for why this level is the graduation requirement, the master has not explained, and no one knows.

All disciples aim to reach the 7th level of Qi Refining as the first stage of their lives.

Once you achieve this, you can leave Flower Valley and see what the outside world is really like.

Li Gu stopped immediately upon reaching the bottleneck of the sixth level, turned around, and looked at his senior sister, Bai Yan. He wanted to ask her for guidance on how to break through the bottleneck and open the "Guanyuan acupoint." Although he could figure it out on his own, having someone guide him would make things much easier and save a lot of time wasted on trial and error.

Bai Yan was in deep meditation, with pollen swirling and dancing around her, filling the air with fragrance. It was not advisable to disturb her at this time.

Li Gu had no choice but to ask his second senior brother, Zhou Shijie.

Zhou Shijie joined the sect later than Bai Yan, but his cultivation level was slightly higher than Bai Yan's. More importantly, he was a good person and a trusted elder brother in the sect. He took good care of all his junior brothers and sisters and often stood up for them to protect them from being punished by Bai Yan. Among the disciples of the Hidden Flower Sect, he was highly respected.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can't go wrong by going to him!

Li Gu also greatly admired his second senior brother and humbly asked for his guidance: "Second senior brother, I'm about to break through to the 6th level of the Qi Refining stage. I need to open up the Guanyuan acupoint. Do you have any experience or insights you could share with me?"

Zhou Shijie's face lit up with surprise: "Junior Brother Li, you've only been a disciple for four years, yet you've already reached this level of cultivation. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook reminds you: Zhou Shijie's statement, "Senior brother is also happy for you," is a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become true? Yes/No.]

Li Gu was startled: Huh?

He quickly stole a glance at his second senior brother's face.

He hadn't noticed it before the system reminded him, but now that he looked closely, he realized that his second senior brother's expression was a bit stiff, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

Li Gu realized that he had entered the sect many, many years later than his second senior brother, but he had already reached the edge of the 6th level. His second senior brother's current strength was at the 6th level, because one had to graduate at the 7th level. Therefore, the highest cultivation level in Flower Valley could only be the 6th level.

We're almost catching up with the second senior brother.

The feeling of being overtaken by the next generation must be very uncomfortable, no wonder he can't be genuinely happy for himself.

Li Gu sighed inwardly; there was no need to force this lie to become the truth.

I choose no.

The system went silent again, as if it had never existed at all...

The second senior brother put away the stiff smile on his face and resumed his usual gentle expression: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Li. I really do have some insights into how to break through this bottleneck! Come, let me tell you about it."

Li Gu thought to himself: Second Senior Brother is still the same kind and warm-hearted senior brother. That lie he told against his conscience just now was just human nature, it doesn't matter.

The second senior brother picked up a twig and with a few quick strokes, drew a crooked, somewhat abstract human figure on the ground. He then tapped the abdomen with the twig: "This is the bottleneck you are about to break through, the Guanyuan acupoint... The method I used to break through here was to concentrate all the true energy in my body into the Zhongji acupoint below, then take a deep breath, violently stimulate all the true energy, and rush it upwards along the meridians, forcefully colliding with the Guanyuan acupoint... If all goes well, you can break through it in one go."

He spoke very seriously, earnestly, patiently, and in great detail...

He looked no different from the kind and approachable second senior brother he always was.

however……

A voice echoed in Li Gu's mind: [The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Manual reminds you: Zhou Shijie's method of cultivating luck is a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become reality? Yes/No.]

Li Gu was startled!

lie?

How terrible it is to rely on lies to get luck!

The first person that came to Li Gu's mind was Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison. He had accidentally practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse due to a mistake in his method of cultivation, turning a grandmaster into a madman.

My second senior brother actually lied to me about something like this?

Why!

Li Gu felt his breathing become rapid, and his heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge rock, making him very uncomfortable. For some reason, his second senior brother's smile had turned ferocious, and the light in his eyes was not the light of care for his junior brother, but the shrewd light that flashed when an old fox mocks a little white rabbit.

Li Gu suddenly remembered that more than half a year ago, Bai Yan was still the second senior sister. Above Bai Yan was a senior brother who had not yet graduated, and Zhou Shijie was the third.

At that time, Senior Brother Zheng, who was ranked fourth, was also making rapid progress in his cultivation. Just when he was about to catch up with Zhou Shijie, he suddenly suffered a qi deviation during his practice and went into a state of demonic possession...

No one knows what he did that caused him to go mad with demonic possession. All that is known is that since then, Senior Brother Zheng has been paralyzed from head to toe, unable to speak, with only his eyelids still able to open and close. He has only been able to survive until now thanks to the care of his junior brothers and sisters in turns.

Looking back now...

Silk!

Li Gu's heart sank so heavily he could hardly breathe. He took a deep breath and mentally said to the system, "I choose yes!"

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Manual Lv.1 reminds you: If the host chooses "yes," the lie will become the truth, but the way the lie is realized will be convoluted or dramatic. No matter what situation you face, please firmly believe in the power of this system.]

Li Gu sighed deeply. With the system around, he didn't have to worry about going into a state of demonic possession, but he was still in a terrible mood.
