Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 18 Obtaining the Kung Fu
"Why are you here if you don't want to sense the spiritual energy properly?"

Chen Qingxuan saw Zhou Qing coming over and asked with a smile.

Zhou Qing said: "I came to thank my uncle."

Chen Qingxuan asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

Zhou Qing said: "The sect's rules are that a seedling with only one spiritual root is not accepted into the sect."

"Master Uncle made an exception and accepted me, and today he praised me in front of all the fellow disciples. How can I not express my sincere gratitude for such kindness?"

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's good that you have this intention, but this is what you deserve. In all these years, this is the first time I've seen someone like you who is born with a heart for Taoism. If I give you up and don't accept you, it would be like letting a pearl gather dust. Wouldn't that be a sin on my part?"

At this point, he suddenly sighed and said, "For so many years, the Qingyun Sect has focused on refining Qi and neglected refining the mind, which has led to many tragic events."

"Sixty years ago, the sect was recruiting disciples. Among them was a woman of extraordinary talent and beauty. With her twenty-seven spiritual roots, she was highly regarded by the entire sect and was fully nurtured."

"That woman truly lived up to the sect's training. In just ten years, while everyone was still worrying about the assessments for new disciples, she had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and officially became a core disciple of the sect."

"At that time, she was extremely popular, like the sun hanging high in the sky. The younger generations of the entire Qingyun Sect all looked up to her brilliance, while the older generations hoped that she could bring the Qingyun Sect to a higher level."

"That year, she was out on business on behalf of the sect. Coincidentally, the eldest sister of the younger generation of the Linghu Taoist Palace came out of seclusion to recuperate. She set up a discussion hall on the top of Tianzhu Peak and exchanged ideas with the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Qionghua Continent."

"She also participated in this event, but ended up losing ten battles in ten days. From then on, her Dao heart was shattered. Her spirit could no longer control her Qi, and was instead overwhelmed by it. She spent her days in a daze, and has been so until now."

Until now?

This means that this senior is still alive.

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Qingxuan's expression carefully and thought, could this friend you are talking about be you?

However, thinking that the two people were of the wrong gender, Zhou Qing quickly ruled out this guess.

He saw that Chen Qingxuan's expression was filled with regret and sadness, and guessed that he must have been one of the Qingyun Sect members who admired that woman back then.

According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, that woman should be the senior sister back then, respected and loved by all her peers and juniors, but in the end she ended up like this.

No wonder Chen Qingxuan is still sighing.

Chen Qingxuan said: "The reason why I brought you to Qingyun Sect and praised you in public was to show my attitude."

"For cultivators like me, refining Qi is naturally important. Longevity, magical powers, and spells all rely on the support of Qi, but cultivating the mind is equally important. If your Dao heart is not firm and you cannot control your Qi, the Qi you cultivate may even become your enemy."

Zhou Qing said: "Master uncle has put in a lot of effort, and all the fellow disciples will surely understand."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Chen Qingxuan guessed that he had come for more than just thanks, so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid you're not here just to thank me, are you?"

Zhou Qing put on a broad smile and said, "I feel that my spiritual energy perception has become proficient. I would like to ask my uncle for advice on the methods of gathering energy and circulating qi."

Chen Qingxuan's face darkened and he looked at Zhou Qing with a frown.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering if he was too impatient and annoyed this uncle-master?

But there was nothing he could do.

His experience was different from that of other disciples. They had ready-made skills and only needed to follow the steps.

But he had to create his own martial arts skills and could not afford to waste any time.

After a while, Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "If someone else came to ask, I would definitely scold them. You have always been calm and composed. Since you are asking like this, I believe you know what you are doing. I will give you the technique right away."

"You can figure it out on your own, but don't practice on your own. Every step in cultivating immortality is extremely dangerous. Practicing without a teacher's supervision is risking your life." Zhou Qingxi said, "Follow the instructions of my uncle-master."

Chen Qingxuan then taught him the Qingyun Sect's Qi Refining technique.

The fundamental skill of Qingyun Sect is called "Floating Clouds Covering the Sun", which can be practiced directly to the peak of Golden Elixir.

There are principles and methods for cultivating immortality.

Tao is the fundamental practice of every sect. No matter what the attribute is, the practice is the same. How to gather Qi and how to circulate Qi are all the same.

The only difference is in the application of magic and supernatural powers.

Chen Qingxuan taught Zhou Qing the Qi Refining Chapter and explained some difficult questions to him. It was almost evening.

The other disciples were all looking at them eagerly from below.

When cultivators first begin to sense spiritual energy, they can usually only maintain it for a very short time, perhaps a quarter of an hour, or at most half an hour, before they lose the state of sympathy with the energy due to fluctuations in their mood.

Only through constant practice can one reach a state of constant communication with Qi, and only then can the practitioner try to draw Qi into the body.

The disciples on the power transmission platform had long since come out of their state. They saw that Zhou Qing had begun to ask his uncle for advice on the method of gathering and refining qi, and they all looked at him with envy.

However, they expected that they would never receive the same treatment as Zhou Qing, so no one went to ask Chen Qingxuan for advice like Zhou Qing did.

After answering Zhou Qing's questions, Chen Qingxuan let the disciples disperse.

This is the end of the first day of preaching.

Chen Qingxuan went straight back to Qingyun Mountain.

Only those who have attained the Golden Elixir can fly in the air on Qingyun Mountain. Chen Qingxuan put down his flying sword, landed at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and then walked back to the Transmission Hall along the stone steps.

In front of the screen wall in the Transmission Hall, there was an old man in Taoist robes, with white hair and a youthful face, walking slowly with his hands behind his back.

Chen Qingxuan took two quick steps forward, saluted, and said, "Elder Jinmang."

The old man is Jin Mang, one of the four elders who teach martial arts in the Teaching Hall.

From the leader down, the two most important institutions in Qingyun Sect are the Discipline Hall and the Transmission Hall.

The Chuan Gong Hall is in charge of the sect's inheritance and can be said to be a first-class prestigious institution. Therefore, the Chuan Gong Hall is also the most luxuriously equipped.

The head of the Transmission Hall is one of the only two Golden Cores in the Qingyun Sect, and the four elders under him are all powerful men at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jin Mang asked with a smile, "Qingxuan, are there any good talents among these new registered disciples?"

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "The quality of the disciples this time is quite good. I think there are a few of them who can be trained with emphasis."

He introduced Zhou Qing, Wei Xu, Nie Yunxi, Gao Xiaoting, Yue Xinghe, Xu Huiniang and other newcomers whom he had secretly observed and thought had great potential to Jin Mang.

Jin Mang was naturally familiar with Wei Kuang and other descendants of the Qingyun Sect, so he did not mention them.

Jin Mang nodded as he listened to him introduce the situation of several disciples, but gradually he felt that something was not right.

Chen Qingxuan introduced Zhou Qing's situation in great detail. After hearing Chen Qingxuan praise Zhou Qing in public and asking all the disciples to ask Zhou Qing for advice, Jin Mang said:
"Qingxuan, are you planning to nominate Zhou Qing as this year's senior brother?"
