In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 23 Listen attentively, learn diligently, and be diligent.
After all, this time the mountain bandits involved were not just ordinary people, but also martial artists.

Naturally, in addition to Gu Shaoan, Zhou Zhiruo, and Ding Minjun, the three direct disciples, Miejue would also bring some ordinary disciples and elders with her.

As Miejue and her companions traveled down Mount Da'e, they found that there were already hundreds of inner disciples of the Emei Sect at the foot of the mountain.

Leading the group were none other than Abbess Juechen, whom Gu Shaoan was familiar with, and two other elders.

The once noisy foothills quickly calmed down after the extinction event.

After briefly glancing at Miejue, pairs of eyes filled with awe fell one after another on Gu Shaoan, who was standing beside her.

The disciples' eyes lit up when they saw Gu Shaoan, who, despite his young age, possessed both good looks and a refined demeanor.

Previously, everyone had heard that a little boy had suddenly come to the Emei Sect, a den of women, to participate in the outer sect assessment, and had even become a disciple of Miejue.

Many disciples were quite curious about this junior brother who had been accepted into the sect by Miejue through exceptional means.

Unfortunately, Gu Shaoan had been immersed in cultivation for almost the entire past month and had not left the back mountain, which meant that the other disciples in the mountain only knew his name but had never seen him.

Now that they saw him in person, the disciples couldn't help but admire Gu Shaoan's appearance and demeanor.

After taking a closer look, many disciples covered their mouths and chuckled.

Gu Shaoan is only eleven years old and a little over four feet tall, but he is holding a three-foot-long sword as his weapon.

It gives the impression that he is holding a stick rather than a sword.

It looks quite comical.

As Gu Shaoan felt his gaze almost sweep over him, then across the disciples at the foot of the mountain who were covering their mouths and laughing, he could easily guess why these senior sisters were laughing.

But when Gu Shaoan glanced at the sword in his hand, he could only sigh helplessly.

Even though Gu Shaoan is well-developed and tall for his age, his age limits his height. What can Gu Shaoan do about it?
As Miejue and her group approached, Abbess Juechen and several other elders of the Emei Sect stepped forward to pay their respects.

"I've met the leader!"

After Miejue nodded slightly in acknowledgment, Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo both took the initiative to bow.

After standing up, Gu Shaoan solemnly bowed to Juechen again.

Gu Shaoan was not a cold-hearted person. When he was about to die after encountering bandits, it was Juechen who saved him and even brought him back to Emei.

A life-saving grace is heavier than Mount Tai.

Gu Shaoan naturally respected Juechen.

Juechen's gaze fell on Gu Shaoan, and he saw that Gu Shaoan was full of energy and no longer showed the fatigue he had shown before coming to Emei.

It's clear that Gu Shaoan had a good month.

Juechen smiled and nodded in response, a weight lifted from his heart.

Miejue had already inquired about Gu Shaoan's situation from Juechen, and seeing Gu Shaoan's actions, she smiled with satisfaction.

In this world, there are many instances where teachers and students turn against each other, and some even turn on their mentors.

As a master, who wouldn't want their disciple to be grateful and appreciative?

Turning his gaze away, Juechen bowed and said, "Sect Leader, the carriage is ready. Shall we depart now?"

After giving a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment, Miejue stepped forward, and Juechen and the others immediately stepped aside to make way.

Gu Shaoan and the others quickly followed.

"Shao'an, Zhiruo, you two are too young and not strong enough to walk. Come with me to the carriage. Minjun, you drive the carriage." Miejue spoke slowly as they approached one of the carriages.

"Yes, Master."

Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo responded obediently and followed Miejue onto the carriage.

A sinister glint flashed in Ding Minjun's eyes before she sat outside the carriage and cracked her whip to urge the horse forward.

The remaining disciples mounted their horses one after another, escorting the carriages forward.

The carriage that Miejue rode in was clearly specially made. It looked ordinary on the outside, but the inside was quite stable. When traveling on the official road, it did not have the strong bumpy feeling that ordinary carriages have.

After boarding the carriage, Gu Shaoan immediately closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy, practicing the second level of the "Emei Nine Yang Skill".

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiruo also closed her eyes and began to cultivate her internal energy.

"Influenced by Shao'an, Zhiruo has indeed become more diligent."

Taking in the reactions of the two, Miejue nodded in satisfaction and then closed her eyes.

[Congratulations to the player for practicing internal energy cultivation techniques for half an hour. Achievement points +5.]

Two hours later, as another notification popped up in front of Gu Shaoan, the internal energy flowing within Gu Shaoan's body did not return to his dantian.

Instead, under Gu Shaoan's control, it continued to circulate within his body at a slower pace, following the route of the "Second Level of Emei Nine Yang Skill".

As his internal energy slowly circulated, Gu Shaoan could clearly feel a warm sensation flowing through his body.

However, he was using his internal energy to nourish his meridians.

After the meridians were nourished, Gu Shaoan then guided his internal energy back into his dantian.

When Gu Shaoan opened his eyes, his gaze immediately met that of Miejue Wenrou.

"After a month, you've already been able to practice internal energy cultivation techniques for two consecutive hours. It seems you've indeed been nourishing your meridians every day as I instructed."

Gu Shaoan replied with a smile, "A teacher imparts knowledge and skills. My martial arts skills were taught by you, Master. Every word you say is based on your experience. I will naturally keep it in mind and dare not be negligent."

"Listen well, learn well, and be diligent. If you can stick to these few points, your future achievements will be limitless."

Gu Shaoan asked, "Is there some problem with this?"

Upon hearing this, Miejue chuckled and said, "Of course."

When Zhou Zhiruo looked over, Miejue slowly spoke: "I have seen many people who showed outstanding talent when they were young. I myself was young once. How could I not understand the nature of young people?"

"Many people are full of energy when they are young. They are hard to calm down, have many thoughts, and often have wild ideas and unrealistic ambitions."

"As a result, when faced with the cultivation requirements given by the elders of the sect, they mostly obey verbally but do not truly accept them, feeling that these rules and suggestions that have been followed for hundreds of years are simply outdated and inflexible."

"Little did they know that the rules and regulations set by their elders were all bitter fruits of their predecessors' own experimentation."

"Just like when cultivating internal energy techniques, one should finish each practice session by warming and nourishing the meridians with internal energy. Only by persisting in this way can one keep the meridians healthy and make them more resilient through warming and nourishment."

"But most martial artists, when they are young, always feel that they are special. At the beginning of their training, they may be able to persist in nurturing their internal energy every day. After a long time, they will try to nurture their internal energy every other day."

"Once they've tasted the benefits, they'll change the interval between warming and nourishing their meridians from one day to two days, and eventually to several days."

"Inertia is thus formed."
