Stars fall and locust trees grow

Three months later, it was New Year.

Li Chi and his companions finally got a few days of rest.

According to the course schedule of Juyun Sect, the basic theory courses have all been completed, and after the New Year, the Qi Refining stage will begin.

The new disciples were more excited than each other at the thought of no longer having to attend those boring and drowsy writing classes.

After eating every day, he would run around wildly in the yards. He would either bury others in the snow or be buried in the snow by others. In short, he could not have a single day of peace.

After a few days of fun and laughter, the rest day was over quickly.

Li Chi and Qi Luoxing were pulled out of bed by Bai Xin early in the morning. After a simple wash, they came to the new classroom with sleepy eyes.

"Drawing Qi into the body is the first step in our formal practice." Wei Jin, the manager of the outer courtyard, stroked his one of the few goatees and slowly paced back and forth in the room.

"Only by learning how to draw Qi into the body can one begin to concentrate one's spiritual consciousness and then master the use of various spiritual energy techniques."

"The energy of heaven and earth was born from chaos."

"When dispersed, it becomes gas; when gathered, it becomes a form."

"As still as a rock, yet as spiritual as the universe."

"Gather the energy within yourself, and embrace the world."

"This is the formula for drawing Qi into the body."

Wei Jin spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that others would hear clearly what he said.

Seeing that most of the children in the room were staring at each other, he said sullenly, "Did you remember all of this?!"

"I've made a note of that..."

Wei Jin continued, "Our sect has always focused on sword training. Once you have mastered the tricks and entered the mortal realm, you can begin to learn the sect's sword techniques. But you can't rush into training. I hope you can take your time."

"Okay, today's class ends here. For the rest of the time, you can practice on your own according to the formula."

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Without the manager, the house suddenly became a mess.

Li Chi looked at the people playing and fighting around him, stretched his arms, then turned to look at Qi Luoxing and asked, "Axing, did you remember the formula the old man with the goatee said?"

Qi Luoxing shook his head.

He was dozing off just now and didn't hear anything at all.

"It's okay, I didn't remember a single word." Li Chi touched his nose indifferently.

He was so busy looking at Manager Wei's beard that he didn't listen to the class properly.

but......

Li Chi touched his chin again.

He always felt that there was something strange about Manager Wei, but he couldn't tell what was strange about him.

I just vaguely felt that the other party's passiveness was too obvious and it didn't seem like they really wanted to teach them.

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Qi Luoxing leaned over and whispered, "Cousin, we don't remember anything. What if the steward asks about it tomorrow?"

"Don't worry!" Li Chi came back to his senses and patted Qi Luoxing on the shoulder. "You only said the formula of dozens of words once, and you said it so quickly. Who can memorize it? Let's go back tonight and ask Senior Brother Bai Xin."

After returning to the dormitory, Li Chi immediately grabbed Bai Xin who was reading a book and asked him to give him and Qi Luoxing extra lessons.

The dormitory was crowded and noisy, which was not suitable for quiet practice. So Bai Xin had no choice but to put on his clothes and lead the two of them to the training hall next to the martial arts training ground.

On the way, Li Chi's teeth were chattering from the cold, but he still complained about Manager Wei. "That old man with a goatee is really weird. He only recited the formula once and left in a hurry. I don't know if he was in a hurry to grab food from the canteen."

"I'm just a few-year-old kid. How could I possibly remember such a difficult formula?" He sniffed. "So, I think he just doesn't want to teach us."

After hearing this, Qi Luoxing also shivered and echoed in a low voice, "Yes~~~Yes~~~And~~Manager Wei's words~~~are like chanting scriptures~~~I'm almost falling asleep~~~"

"I think it's obviously you two who didn't listen carefully." Bai Xin frowned and ruthlessly exposed their somewhat lame excuses.

"Pay attention when you listen to the class next time, or I won't care about you anymore."

There was no one in the training hall at the moment, and it was pitch black inside.

Bai Xin had just lit up a few candles in the room when she saw Li Chi and Qi Luoxing standing in the corner, curiously looking at a row of practice swords placed there.

"Brother Bai, I heard from the old man with the goat beard that our sect focuses on sword training, so you must have learned the sect's sword techniques." Li Chi stretched out his little hand and stroked one of the swords, and asked excitedly: "Can you show it to us?"

"You're thinking about running before you even learn to walk?!" Bai Xin punched both of them on the head and dragged them to the open space in the middle of the room.

"Hurry up and sit down and practice well!"

Li Chi covered his head and chuckled, then obediently pulled Qi Luoxing to sit down.

"The formula for drawing qi into the body has a total of thirty-two words. The first sixteen words describe the source of qi, and the last sixteen words are the so-called cultivation method."

Bai Xin sat up straight and said slowly, "It's not difficult to draw the Qi into the body. The main thing is to empty your mind, relax your body, and feel the flow of Qi with your heart between each breath."

"After spiritual energy enters the body, it still exists in the form of qi. At this time, the practitioner has the beginning of spiritual consciousness, but his life span is no different from that of ordinary people."

“After breaking through to the Xuan Gu realm, the spiritual energy in the body can be gathered into the sea of ​​​​gods, so the real cultivation still has to wait until entering the Xuan Gu realm to officially begin…”

After practicing with Bai Xin for about half a month, Li Chi and Qi Luoxing finally mastered the method of drawing Qi into the body and successfully entered the mortal realm.

There are nearly 200 disciples in the outer courtyard of Juyun Sect, and about 60% of them have not yet entered the mortal realm.

The two of them were the first to enter the mortal realm among the six adults, and they were also the only two among the dozens of children taught by Professor Wei Jin who had entered the mortal realm so far.

But Li Chi did not sense the slightest joy on Manager Wei's face.

On the contrary, the other person's face seemed to become even gloomier.

"Starting tomorrow, you can follow those senior brothers and sisters to learn the sect's swordsmanship."

Wei Jin stroked his beard, his voice cold and stern. "But you can't rush into cultivation. I hope you can take it slow."

"I seem to have just heard this old man say this not long ago." Li Chi complained in his heart.

However, neither he nor Qi Luoxing dared to refute out loud. They just lowered their heads and nodded twice to show their agreement.
