Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 34 Training the Disciple
The next morning, the second primary school student did not even attend the morning class, but came to pay his respects to Kang Dabao outside his room early, leaving only Jin Shilun, with a bitter face, sitting in the scripture hall, picking his hair with an obscure Taoist scripture in his hand and half-understanding it.

Oh, by the way, the two senior brothers had told him in the morning that after finishing morning lessons he should go to the kitchen first, as there was a secret technique of the sect that needed to be taught to him urgently.

"Are you here?" Kang Dabao, with sleepy eyes, pushed open the door and looked at Erxiao who looked excited.

"Greetings to Master." Erxiao bowed politely.

"Yes, I didn't slack off after returning last night, and the circulation of my spiritual energy is now unimpeded." Kang Dabao stretched out his hands and poured a stream of spiritual energy into Erxiao's body to test.

In the world of cultivation, allowing others to test you in this way is a very dangerous thing. Unless they are your closest relatives, you should never do this.

The two little ones all had smiles on their faces when they received praises.

"Then I will teach you the skills. Our Chongming Sect was once a great foundation-building sect in the early years, and there are countless books on cultivation. Although it has declined a little now, there are still dozens of skills passed down. You descendants have received the kindness of your predecessors today. In the future, you must take it as your responsibility to revive the sect, practice Taoism seriously, and do not slack off."

When Kang Dabao said this, he couldn't help but think of the teachings that his uncle-master had given him more than 20 years ago.

Kang Dabao was quite satisfied to see Erxiao put away his smile, sit upright and listen attentively.

He continued, "Among the techniques, there are two Hong-level techniques and sixteen Huang-level techniques, some of which are inherited by ancestors and some are collected by predecessors. The Hong-level top-grade "Three Yang Sutra", a single fire-attributed sword technique, is one of the sect treasures passed down by our Chongming Sect. Not only does it have a Qi circulation method, it also contains the "Three Yang Sword Sutra", which is equipped with a Hong-level top-grade magic flaming sword net and a Hong-level middle-grade magic green sword energy.

After the practitioner succeeds, he will have blazing spiritual power, which will increase all fire-related magics to a certain extent, and can be practiced to the middle stage of foundation building. It is just a little difficult to get started, and it requires some talent. In the past fifty years of the sect, only your third uncle has mastered it, and I don’t know much about it. If you choose this book, you can ask him for advice when he comes back.

Another point to mention is that this technique consumes a lot of resources, and the sect may not be able to provide you with all of them, so you should think carefully.

The lower grade Hong class "Qingmu Baoguang Yin" is a single wood-attributed skill. This is what your master found at a mortal bookstall when he was young. This is the skill that I am practicing.

There is nothing too surprising about this method. The biggest reason why it is called Hongjie is that it is moderate and peaceful to practice. The altar has a little precious light to protect it, so there is no need to worry about going astray. After practicing it, the spiritual power in the body is 20% more than that of ordinary people of the same level. However, this book is only a fragment, and it can only be practiced to the ninth level of Qi training.

The top-grade White Ape Sutra of the Wilderness Rank is a physical cultivation technique without any attributes. It can be cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building. It is also the technique practiced by your second uncle. After practicing it, you will be as strong as an ape demon, and you will be invincible in close combat with people. Uh, try to avoid sword cultivators like your third uncle. It is equipped with two low-grade magic techniques of the Great Rank, the Ape Demon Cannon Hammer and the White Ape Step.

The top grade book of Huangjie, "The Book of Rich Grass".
The middle-grade "Five Spirits Skill" of the wild rank.
"Yi Mu Gong", a low-grade work in Huangjie.
A middle-grade desolate-level "Golden Fire Art."

Kang Dabao introduced the eighteen jade slips of exercises to the two children one by one, placed them on the bed, and waited for them to choose.

"Master, I chose the Three Yang Classics."

"Master, I choose the Qingmu Baoguangyin."

In just a cup of tea, Han Yundao and Duan Anle started talking.

It was exactly what Kang Dabao thought. The only difference was that the "Hongjie" alone overshadowed the brilliance of other skills.

It just so happened that Han Yundao had no wood spiritual roots and Duan Anle had no fire spiritual roots, so there was no need to choose.

This is also because they are lucky. Even in some large foundation-building sects with shallow foundations, there are few disciples who can directly choose a Hong-level technique to practice without paying any price.

But whether or not one can succeed in practicing is another matter. Generally speaking, the more difficult the level of the technique, the harder it is to comprehend and practice.

Kang Dabao looked at Han Yun with some concern, and said, "Forget it. Young people will not give up until they hit the wall."

"Alas, a high grade does not necessarily mean it is suitable for me. Never mind, let them comprehend it themselves." Kang Dabao thought, and then said: "After the skills, it is the magic."

Kang Dabao put away the remaining jade slips and took out a book as thick as a fist.

"This is the 'Original Law Scripture', the origin of thousands of magic techniques. Memorize it well. I will test you in a month. After the test, I will teach you the 'Introduction to the Five Elements Curse Seal'. You must master the Fireball Technique within three months!"

If general techniques are about advanced math problems, then the original techniques are about the four arithmetic operations, but these four arithmetic operations may be a little bit thicker.

The art of magic is as profound as the abyss. Even the most basic fireball technique has nine oral incantations and eleven finger incantations.

In a fight, there are fixed patterns in the mantras, finger gestures and breathing.

Due to various variables such as weather, terrain, time, and position, the order and speed of the finger gestures and formulas will change. They cannot be faster or slower than usual, otherwise the spell will be interrupted at best, or even hurt yourself.

Therefore, the threshold for practicing magic is actually quite high, and it requires a lot of theoretical practice to fully master it.

Generally speaking, the mastery of magic can be roughly divided into five stages: entry, proficiency, minor success, major success, and perfection. The difference between the five stages lies not only in the proficiency of the magic, but also in the power of the magic. The power of the same magic at the perfect level and the entry level is incomparable.

If you want to use the magic in actual combat, you must at least reach the stage of mastery. It is still the same reason. Without the guidance of the predecessors, practicing magic is of course a very difficult thing.

The reason why few low-level cultivators engage in magic duels is due to practical considerations.

Between life and death, if that half-baked magic fails to work, you will lose your life!
Therefore, even though the power of low-level talismans is nearly 20% weaker than the power of spells of the same level, they are still more popular among independent cultivators.

The casual cultivators who can truly master several or even one technique to a small degree of success are actually considered the elites among the casual cultivators. Just like the few people whose storage bags Kang Dabao picked up some time ago, they are all in this category.

The magic books sold outside are much more obscure than those handed down in the sects and families. If they can practice magic with such magic books, who else can be the elite if not the elite? !
"'An Introduction to the Spiritual Objects of Jackdaw Mountain', 'The Biography of the Sects and Families of Yunjiaozhou', 'The Record of the Re-cultivation of David's Anthology', 'Thirty-six Methods of Circulating Qi', 'Ninety-four Taboos of Refining Qi', 'An Examination of Food, Medicine and Poisons'. You must memorize them within three months and you will also be tested on them."

The two little faces full of collagen actually slumped visibly.

"Don't look so sad, recite them carefully. If you don't know these, how can you cultivate to be an immortal!" Kang Dabao scolded, "From now on, the fifth and tenth days of every month will be the test days. Those who are slow in cultivation will not only be punished with a ruler, but also be deprived of food!"

"Disciple has remembered it." Erxiao was a little surprised. Why did the master's temper become so much stricter before and after he entered the Tao?

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. At dusk that day, Jin Shilun was hiding in the dormitory reading a book. Although he had not yet completed body cultivation, he could still read some basic books on cultivation, which were much more interesting than reading Taoist scriptures.

As for why he used the word "hide", it was because his master was scolding people in the yard.

"The sixth leaf of the yellow dew grass turns red when it is ripe, and the third leaf of the white crane fruit turns red when it is ripe! How did you memorize this? Why am I still getting it wrong?"

"Your finger gestures for the Fireball Technique are slow again, they're almost like chicken claws! How can you be even dumber than your Second Uncle?"

"The mother's family of the Hezhou Jiang family ancestor is the Yunjiaozhou Li family, not the Feng family. I've said it several times!"

"If a fire crow is one foot and two inches long, it is a first-grade low-grade one, not one foot and three inches long! One foot and three inches is a first-grade high-grade one. If you can't remember it, you won't know how you died if you see it!"

"You useless thing!" Kang Dabao held a ruler, his face gloomy, looking a little scary. The two apprentices knelt on the bluestone bricks with sad faces, "Stretch out your hands!" The two white little hands "slapped" twice, and then they became visibly red and swollen.

"You don't put your heart into it! You don't live up to expectations!" Kang Dabao sat on a stone bench in the yard, still angry. Erxiao wanted to cry but didn't dare to.

To be fair, Erxiao has indeed made considerable progress, but it still has not met Kang Dabao's expectations.

After all, young people are bound to have a playful nature, which is also normal.

At this time, the clouds in the small cloud formation began to roll.

Kang Dabao was stunned. Is this someone visiting? He pinched his fingers lightly and saw a plain-clothed scholar outside the formation.

"Fifth level of Qi training? Who is this person?" Kang Dabao was puzzled. He left his two disciples behind and slowly walked out of the formation.

"I am Xie Liusheng, a disciple of Mr. Yushan, and I'm nice to meet Master Kang." The scholar in plain clothes bowed to Kang Dabao.

"Oh, Mr. Yushan? It turns out to be Brother Xie. I am honored to meet you." Kang Dabao returned the greeting and at the same time began to calculate the date in his mind. It seemed to be almost time, so it should be that thing.

"I dare not accept the gift from Sect Leader Kang. Before I came here, the gentleman specifically told me to hand the invitation to the Yushan Treasure Party to Sect Leader Kang personally. I hope Sect Leader Kang will leave earlier. The gentleman is preparing a bed for you on Yushan Island right now." Xie Liusheng is about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance and excellent conversation, which makes people feel good about him.

"Mr. Yushan, thank you for your kindness. Please come to our sect and have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue." Kang Dabao carefully put the invitation into his sleeve.

"I dare not disturb Master Kang. I still have to go to three families near Jackdaw Mountain. So I'll take my leave now!" Xie Liusheng bowed again and said goodbye. The armor and horse talisman on his leg glowed yellow and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests, making it difficult to find it with the naked eye.

"Yushan Treasure Meeting," Kang Dabao thought to himself that it was indeed the case. He walked through the formation and entered the sect with the invitation in his hand.

"Well, it's the third day of June, and there are still twelve days." Looking at Erxiao who was still kneeling on the ground and unable to stand up, he began to worry.

"I told you not to work hard for me, the Taoist priest!"

　I just arrived at the apartment. I typed a chapter on my mobile phone on the train today. I have to go back to the factory to work the early shift tomorrow. I will update more when I have time later.

　　Thank you brothers for your comments and votes
