In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 24 Even my Emei Sect has produced a prodigy!

Extinction was a straightforward statement, and upon reflection, Gu Shaoan realized it was indeed true.

Perseverance is never an easy thing.

Even Gu Shaoan, without a proficiency panel to make his cultivation progress visible, could not have cultivated with such abandon for more than a month.

It's human nature to have a restless mind and wandering thoughts, but very few people can actually control their restless mind and tame their wandering thoughts.

"If someone is truly exceptionally talented, that would be one thing, but there are countless martial artists in the world, and most of them are just average in talent."

"Even if you occasionally succeed, it's just a matter of luck. Perseverance is the right path."

"In this way, it may not be noticeable in the short term, and the cultivation progress may even be improved because the steps of nurturing internal energy are reduced, and the source of internal energy will not be depleted."

"But they do not know that the cause of today will be the effect of tomorrow."

"Over time, at best the meridians will become solidified, and the speed of internal energy cultivation will drop sharply; at worst the meridians will be damaged, and the path of martial arts will come to an end."

"In the martial arts world, many people who are over fifty years old but whose cultivation and strength are still only at the third level are burdened by their youthful greed for success and laziness."

At this point, Miejue seemed to remember something and shook her head, saying, "Even I was like that back then, forgetting my master's requirements, being greedy for quick success, and neglecting the cultivation of my meridians."

"Otherwise, my cultivation would not have stagnated for the past ten years or so."

After a pause, Miejue suddenly looked at Zhou Zhiruo.

"Zhiruo, you are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and you have done a very good job in doing what your teacher asked you to do."

"In cultivation, you also need to learn from your junior brother. You must never be lazy, otherwise you will end up like your second and third senior sisters, who, even at the age of thirty, will find it difficult to return to the innate state and transform their internal energy into true qi."

Miejue is proud and arrogant. Now, in front of Gu Shaoan, she is using herself as a negative example and recounting the mistakes she made when she was young. This shows how much Miejue values ​​Gu Shaoan and Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo nodded earnestly and said, "Zhiruo understands, please rest assured, Master."

Gu Shaoan responded with the same solemn expression.

Looking at the two disciples in front of him, Miejue felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps it was because she was intrigued, but Miejue suddenly asked the two of them if they had any questions about their cultivation.

After Miejue finished instructing Zhou Zhiruo, Gu Shaoan also asked about some questions he had encountered during his cultivation.

The proficiency panel and the "enlightenment" entry only allow Gu Shaoan to understand his cultivation progress, not to enable him to learn without a teacher.

Quite the opposite.

Because the martial arts that Gu Shaoan practiced were the three best martial arts in Emei at the moment, Gu Shaoan would still encounter some problems or conjectures in his cultivation that needed to be verified by Miejue.

And the result did not disappoint Gu Shaoan.

As Gu Shaoan raised his doubts and conjectures, Miejue pondered for a moment and was able to give Gu Shaoan the answer.

Moreover, his explanation was extremely insightful, making things clear and enlightening.

noon.

Beside a dense grove of trees.

While the horses rested, some disciples cut grass from the meadow to feed them.

At the elder's request, the disciples cut only the grass that was growing well, and they were careful not to damage the roots, so as not to affect its subsequent growth.

This alone demonstrates the high moral character of the Emei Sect.

After eating some dry rations, Gu Shaoan went to the side and drew his longsword to practice his swordsmanship. Watching Gu Shaoan, whose sword whistled as he swung it and whose sword aura was beginning to emerge, Juechen and several other elders of the Emei Sect looked on in astonishment.

On the other side, Abbess Juechen looked at Gu Shaoan in the distance and couldn't help but say in surprise, "I didn't expect that in just one month, Shaoan would have such a high level of skill in the Sunset Sword Technique."

Hearing Abbess Juechen's words, Miejue replied, "Although Shao'an's aptitude is only excellent, his comprehension is the best I have ever seen, enough to be compared with those geniuses in the martial world."

"What's most admirable is Shao'an's character: calm, hardworking, and destined for great things."

Juechen laughed and said, "In that case, congratulations, Senior Sister. Our Emei Sect has produced a prodigy."

Extinction replied, "I should thank you, Junior Sister, for bringing me such an excellent disciple."

The two chatted happily, and when their eyes fell on Gu Shaoan, their hearts were filled with hope.

With such disciples, the future of the Emei Sect is promising.

Everyone originally thought that Gu Shaoan was just taking a short break to cultivate, but they did not expect that his cultivation would last for a full half hour.

This diligence gradually changed the expressions of the Emei disciples who were initially just watching the spectacle.

Especially after learning from several elders about Gu Shaoan's experience of diligently cultivating in the back mountain as the personal disciple of Miejue, the Emei disciples couldn't help but feel more admiration for this junior brother.

Since it was within the jurisdiction of the Emei Sect, Yushan City in Jiading Prefecture was not far from the Emei Sect.

In just five days, the group arrived in Huaishan County, which was less than fifty miles away from Yushan City.

At the East Gate, Zhou Zhiruo and Gu Shaoan followed behind Miejue.

Glancing at Miejue in front of her, Zhou Zhiruo lowered her voice and asked, "Junior brother, it's still early. Why don't we go directly to Yushan City instead of heading to Huaishan County?"

Although Zhou Zhiruo's voice was extremely low, it was as loud as whispering in Miejue's ear.

However, Miejue did not stop Zhou Zhiruo from asking her question; instead, she waited for Gu Shaoan's response.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan said, "The mountain bandits are the most well-informed."

“If we go directly to Yushan City, we will inevitably alert the bandits. If they manage to escape and hide, it will be troublesome to find them.”

"I think Master's original intention was for us to first station ourselves in Huaishan County, then gather information, and go to Yushan City after confirming the situation."

Zhou Zhiruo asked again, "Then why did Master tell everyone to split up and disguise themselves before entering the city?"

Gu Shaoan thought for a moment and said, "Although there are only a hundred of us on this trip, apart from me, we are all women. If we all enter together, it will be too conspicuous."

"The bandits are cunning. If the bandits in Yushan City also have spies in Huaishan County, they will know our whereabouts in advance."

Hearing Gu Shaoan's response, the smile on Miejue's face, who was walking in front, widened.

Turning her head, she looked at Gu Shaoan with satisfaction: "Shaoan's analysis is good! Zhiruo, remember, when you're in the martial world, you can't just rely on your passion. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you're just a brave but reckless person. You should learn more from Shaoan in this regard."

Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "This disciple understands."

Yunlai Inn, second floor.

After the waiter who brought the tea and snacks left, Gu Shaoan poured a cup of hot tea, but did not hand it to Miejue immediately.

Instead, he took out a packet of powder from his pocket, rubbed a small amount into the tea, and quietly observed it.

Both Miejue and Zhou Zhiruo looked on with suspicion as they watched Gu Shaoan suddenly add medicinal powder to his teacup.
