I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

"Disciple understands!"

Yuan Feng nodded seriously.

After finally embarking on the path of cultivating immortals, he was just a pig farmer with no power or influence. His parents were both deceased and he was all alone. It was good enough for him to have a master, and he did not dare to demand too much for him to obtain any good mental methods.

"That's good to understand. Now let me tell you the method I want to teach you. This Star Picking Technique uses stars as its source. When practicing, while absorbing spiritual power, it will also attract the power of the stars into the body, making the spiritual power more powerful and increasing lifespan. If you practice it to perfection, you can live as long as the sky."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng asked excitedly, "Living as long as the sky, doesn't that mean eternal life? But what is the power of the stars?"

"This..." This question stumped Mo Xuyang. He had just started practicing "Star Picking Technique" and had not yet reached the level of drawing the stars into his body. He did not know and could not explain what the power of the stars was.

"Master, don't you know?" Yuan Feng saw his master's hesitation and asked considerately.

"How could I not know? It's just that you are just starting out now. It's not good for you to know too much. If I tell you everything, how can you grow? Do you understand my good intentions?"

"I understand, but... I, your disciple, still want to know what exactly the power of the stars is and what its essence is."

Mo Xuyang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "When you practice this method, you will understand it naturally. Don't ask too much now."

"But……"

"No buts. Are you the master or am I the master? I teach you and you learn. Now I will start teaching you how to practice the mind method."

"alright."

Yuan Feng suppressed the ten thousand questions in his mind and finally compromised.

"Although this Heart-Pickling Technique is not as good as other mental techniques, it is a bit more difficult to practice than other mental techniques. The reason is that it requires the help of stars... to close your eyes and meditate."

Mo Xuyang was about to mention the power of the stars, but was afraid that Yuanfeng would ask again, so he skipped the question and asked Yuanfeng to start meditating.

Yuan Feng did as he was told, sitting cross-legged, taking a deep breath, closing his eyes and listening.

"Then..." Mo Xuyang commanded again, "Raise your thoughts, feel the stars in the universe, and find the brightest one. That is your destiny star. All your future training will be bound to that star."

As he spoke, the corners of Mo Xuyang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an expression of success.

Practicing in broad daylight was his way of showing power to Yuan Feng.

There are no stars in the daytime, and that is when the power of the stars is weakest, and it is also the most difficult to sense. It is almost impossible to succeed if you have no experience and are sensing it for the first time.

Failure is the result that Mo Xuyang wants. If he lets his disciple succeed in one try, how can he save face as a master? His dignity as a master will also be reduced in the future.

When Yuan Feng fails and becomes frustrated, he will lightly throw out a few words of encouragement mixed with scolding.

Using a two-pronged approach of using the big stick and adding sugar will ensure that Yuan Feng will be completely subdued.

Seeing Yuan Feng's eyelids twitching slightly and a conflicted look on his face, Mo Xuyang knew that he was about to fail, and his mood became even happier.

"Disciple, did you fail to sense the stars? It's okay. It's inevitable that you will encounter setbacks the first time. You must remember..."

"No, Master," Yuan Feng still closed his eyes, "I sensed it."

"Did you sense it?" Mo Xuyang felt surprised and uncomfortable.

"Yes, I sensed it, but there are too many stars."

"What do you mean a little much?"

"There are seven stars that are bright, Master, what should I do now?"

"Seven of them are bright? Are you sure you're not hallucinating?"

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but all seven are very bright."

This made Mo Xuyang drop his teeth in shock.

How could this be?

Things are a little different from what I expected.

"Master, please speak up. Which one should I choose?"

"Wait a minute. Let me think about it. Don't open your eyes. This situation is a bit special."

Mo Xuyang carefully observed Yuan Feng's eyes and made sure that he did not open them, then he secretly took out an ancient book from his pocket.

It was the "Star Picking Art".

In order not to be exposed, Mo Xuyangdang deliberately threw out a silent note, and then under the effect of the talisman, he quickly and silently flipped through the "Star Picking Art".

"found it!"

Mo Xuyang raised his eyebrows and exclaimed inwardly.

According to the description in the book, only those with the special physique of the Seven Caverns of the Heavenly Spirit can sense the Seven Stars.

Is this disciple of mine an unrivaled genius?

Mo Xuyang looked at Yuan Feng carefully.

He was soon relieved. It was normal for disciples from an ancient immortal cultivation family to be a little special.

It was reasonable, but Mo Xuyang felt aggrieved.

How can he pretend to be a master if such a disciple surpasses him in just a few days? He was more determined to leave as soon as he finished teaching him the skills.

However, now is not the time for Mo Xuyang to be discouraged.

The seven stars were indeed sensed. Although the cultivation speed was seven times that of ordinary practitioners, the difficulty was also seven times.

Without some insights from cultivation and some talent, it is impossible to balance the power of the seven stars, and the speed will also slow down.

Mo Xuyang is confident that his hundred years of life have not been wasted in vain, and he still has some knowledge to teach.

"Master, I just remembered. Disciple, did you open seven Heavenly Spirit Caves?"

"Heavenly Spiritual Cave? Is it on the head? I feel like there are seven holes on the top of my head that are always flowing spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy is coming and going and can never enter the body."

That's right. The spiritual energy cannot enter the body because Yuan Feng has not yet started to practice the mental method and does not know how to guide the energy into the body.

"In that case, since you can sense the seven stars, it means that the seven stars are your destiny. Try your best to connect with the seven stars."

Yuan Feng closed his eyes, nodded heavily, did not answer, and began to connect with the Seven Stars with all his mind.

In his consciousness, he felt as if his soul was ascending.

The whole process was extremely mysterious and novel, like a handshake, but only on the soul level.

Time passed minute by minute. Mo Xuyang looked at Yuan Feng on the plate with a calm expression. He became nervous and clenched his fists.

Communicating with the Seven Stars, this scene is not seen often, although Mo Xuyang has his own little thoughts.

But he is a master after all, and he still hopes that Yuan Feng can succeed in one fell swoop.

Yuan Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, unaware that he was glowing with colorful light that was becoming more and more dazzling.

The light was too bright, and Mo Xuyang could only squint his eyes.

As time passed, the rays of light converged and slowly absorbed into Yuan Feng's body.

Until finally, return to the most primitive tranquility.

There were only an old man and a young boy left in the room, one standing and one sitting, as if nothing had happened.

Only Yuan Feng knows the changes best.

He gently opened his eyes and looked back and forth at his body and arms.

He didn't grow taller, and his arms didn't grow stronger, but he felt full of strength, as if he could move mountains and seas with just a wave of his hand.

Of course, this was just an illusion. Yuan Feng had only achieved a preliminary communication with the stars, and his strength had not increased much. However, his soul had become much stronger.

Through this connection, the lifespan directly reaches two hundred years.

Two hundred years is already considered high for an ordinary person who has not yet achieved any cultivation. Once he has formally achieved cultivation, it will continue to increase.

"How is it?" Mo Xuyang asked carefully.

"Very comfortable."

This is Yuan Feng’s only feeling.

"All seven stars are connected?"

“They are all linked.”

Yuan Feng was not lying. Even through the ceiling, he could use his soul to see the seven stars shining above his head, arranged in a circle.

It was like putting a crown on his head.

"It's good that it's connected. Now we can start formal training."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Yuan Feng's tone was filled with excitement.

He didn't know if it was because of the stars, but he felt as if he had endless energy.

"This Star Picking Technique practice method is extremely special and difficult. I don't expect you to master it in one go. It doesn't hurt to practice a few more times."

Mo Xuyang had experience in cultivation before, but he failed dozens of times when he first tried this method.

He just didn't believe it. Yuan Feng connected the seven stars, the difficulty increased several times, and he could succeed in one go.

"The teacher will now explain the key points. Please listen carefully."

"You have communicated with the stars. When you draw Qi into your body, the stars will drop star power to your random meridian gate. Since you are communicating with seven stars, there will be seven star powers at the same time, and they are all random.

Also, there are hundreds of meridians in the human body, so you can imagine how difficult it is. What you have to do is to guide the spiritual energy and star power to flow between the meridians at the same time.

This is a great test of your ability to control your spiritual power. The power of the stars lands at random points, and the distances between the meridian gates are different."

Mo Xuyang said this while secretly observing Yuan Feng's expression.

Seeing Yuan Feng’s empty eyes, Mo Xuyang felt extremely comfortable.

Sure enough, physical talent is not everything. In the path of cultivating immortals, both talent and experience are indispensable.

"Disciple, I have already taught you the method. Take your time to comprehend it. Don't be in a hurry. Think about how I, your master, did not learn this method overnight."

Mo Xuyang shook his head as he spoke, walked to the table triumphantly, poured a bowl of water, and drank it slowly.

After talking so much, he became thirsty.

Next, he had to show off and teach Yuan Feng at the same time.

Tangled ah.

Confusing but happy, my own failure is painful, but the failure of others is extremely comforting.

"Master, did I succeed?"

“Pfft! What?”

Mo Xuyang choked and turned around with his eyes wide open to look.

Yuan Feng was sitting cross-legged, with spiritual energy flowing around him in a regular pattern, which was a sign of success.

Next to him was a drawing with various scribbled on it and strange symbols on it.

Mo Xuyang didn't care about the blueprint; his attention was all on Yuan Feng.
