Qiu Zhen glanced at Jiang Ran up and down, her expression changing repeatedly, as if she was hesitant and didn't know where to start, and she spoke after a while.
"Your Highness..." He first clasped his fists in front of her and saluted, then said seriously, "Please forgive me for being rude!"
"What?" Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw him suddenly take a deep breath, and as if he was mentally prepared, he spoke with a solemn expression and a heartbroken look on his face.
"Your homework is really... too outrageous!"
"……"Huh?!
"I have already asked other teachers, and all of them said that your academic performance is the worst among all the disciples." Director Qiu Zhen said with a serious face and a look of regret in his eyes, "Although you have not yet entered Taoism,
But as long as you listen carefully in class, you can't fail to answer the questions about formations, exercises, and sword techniques. But no matter which one of the alchemy formations and weapons you have, you can't answer any of the assignments completely correctly."
"Well……"
Qiu Zhen continued with a sad look on her face, "Especially the homework you have handed in every day for the past month, I won't talk about swordsmanship. I only wrote half of the prescriptions silently, and I often missed half of the exercises.
Dharma Talisman often doesn't even do its homework. Master, I have taught so many disciples from the six realms who came to study, and I have never seen such a skimpy coursework. How can one achieve great success with such an improper attitude towards practice?
"
"..." Jiang Ran blushed and buried his head directly. Aren't you, the masters of Zhentian Pavilion, so serious and responsible? She even answered a few questions for her daily homework and even the homework for other subjects.
Know so clearly?
"Alas!" Seeing that she didn't dare to reply, Qiu Zhen sighed, and softened his words to say something serious and sincere, "I also know that you think that you have not yet introduced Qi into your body and have not truly entered the Tao, so you are so casual. But Your Highness
You are different from other disciples. You came to practice in order to improve your physical weakness. These exercises, elixirs, formations, etc. will be beneficial to your future cultivation. You must not slack off easily.
."
"Yes, Master!" Jiang Ran nodded vigorously, although she did do so on purpose. After all, she was a mortal who had just started cultivating immortality, so doing too well would inevitably arouse suspicion. Of course, the other part was that she was really too lazy to do it, and she accidentally
Too lazy, "Disciple realizes his mistake."
Qiu Zhen's eyes softened a little, "It's good to know your mistakes. After school today, remember to make up all your previous homework. If you don't understand something, you can always come to the master to clarify your doubts."
"Yes." She nodded repeatedly, but heard the other party add another sentence.
"Another fifty times!"
"ah?!"
"Why, not enough?" Qiuzhen's eyes darkened again.
"Enough!" Jiang Ran lowered his head immediately. Sure enough, every dean is a devil!
Only then was Qiuzhen satisfied, and he changed the topic and said, "You don't have to be too anxious to enter the Tao. Brother Zhangshou has been busy these days, so your entry to the Tao has been delayed for a while. If you are in a hurry, why not let me do it?"
Let me teach you how to introduce Qi into your body."
"Introducing air into the body?" Now?
"Don't be too eager to be happy. Introducing Qi into the body is not that simple." Qiu Zhen looked more serious and said with a serious and responsible look, "What I can tell you is just the method of how to move Qi. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you.
You, please reach out first."
As he spoke, he made a secret, mobilized his spiritual energy to explore her meridians, and first checked her spiritual root qualifications. He was shocked at the result. The meridians in her body were thin and fragile, and her spiritual roots were even more fragile.
It's tiny and unnoticeable, and it has several branches.
Her spiritual roots are simply... so bad! Indescribably bad! This is the first time he has seen her for so many years of practice.
Qiuzhen herself was stunned, her face changed several times, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment. She really didn't expect that this aloof Princess Fengtian had no talent for cultivation at all, and even her spiritual roots were completely weak.
"What's wrong, Master?" Jiang Ran looked at his suddenly twitching face and couldn't help but ask.
"No...it doesn't matter!" He suppressed the urge to tell her that the spiritual root was too bad. It was just that the spiritual root was poor. Cultivation depends on perseverance and understanding. The quality of the spiritual root is just a different starting point. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
We can judge the future based on our spiritual roots, let alone discourage the disciples from pursuing the Tao.
Qiu Zhen took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and said with relief, "It is indeed more troublesome for mortals to enter Taoism, but it is not a big problem."
He coughed hard, and as a qualified master, he began to think about various ways for her to introduce Qi into her body and start practicing formally. However, none of them were safe for her fragile spiritual roots.
Once the spiritual energy is not guided smoothly, a slight mistake will most likely destroy the spiritual roots.
It was inevitable that she would lose confidence in her practice. Qiu Zhen gritted her teeth and decided to do it herself. Although this might cause her to lose some cultivation, at most it would only take a few years of rest and there would be no serious problems.
"I will use spiritual power to help you open up the meridians first, and you should carefully remember the method of how the spiritual energy circulates." After saying this, he kneaded the secrets again and helped her introduce the energy into her body.
"stop!"
Suddenly a voice interrupted his movements, and the next moment two figures appeared in front of them.
"Master..." Qiu Zhen was startled and looked at the two people, especially the figure in white clothes on the right. She seemed to be worried that Jiang Ran was still nearby, so she did not call out, but her attitude was more respectful.
The visitors were none other than Hong Yi and Fan Chen.
A trace of eagerness flashed in Fan Chen's eyes. He immediately turned to look at Jiang Ran next to him. Seeing that she was still not surrounded by spiritual energy, he even took the time to give her a wry smile, and then he was relieved. It should be that the energy hadn't been drawn in yet.
Fortunately, it came quickly.
Then Hong Yi hurriedly said, "Xiao Zhen, your Highness's physique is different from others. You need to be careful when introducing Qi into your body. I have my own arrangements, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Ah?" Qiu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Jiang Ran, and then at the two of them. Although the other party's spiritual root was indeed very weak, it was not to the point where the Pavilion Master would personally take action. Moreover, the Pavilion Master was indeed very weak.
When did the Lord care so much about the affairs of the mission hall? Doesn’t He dislike these outsiders the most?
Is it because of His Highness’s status?
Qiu Zhen's mind was full of questions, but she still didn't say much. She obediently raised her hands and replied, "Disciple, I obey!"
"It's getting late, don't delay the disciples' practice, let's go!" Hong Yi didn't say much, just waved his hand and asked Qiuzhen to go back to class.
Qiu Zhen then led Jiang Ran towards the mission hall with full of doubts.
After the two of them walked away, Hong Yi asked Fan Chen who was watching them off, "Master, you suddenly made this arrangement, but because you are worried about the Emperor of the Nine Heavens?" Not only Qiu Zhen didn't understand, Hong also
Yi himself can’t even think clearly.
Why did his master suddenly come to him and tell him not to rush into letting His Highness sent by the Heavenly Palace introduce Qi into his body, but to wait until the other person has adjusted his physique and cured his old illness.
Only then did he realize that the medicinal materials the master was looking for that day were actually for the princess.
Is it true that there are rumors in the Six Realms that his master is not on good terms with the Sifang Temple and prefers the Emperor of the Nine Heavens?
So why are you so concerned about that princess? Then shouldn’t Zhentian Pavilion also express their stance and completely take sides?
"Yeah." Fan Chen responded casually, obviously not intending to explain. He just asked about another matter, "How are the teaching arrangements going?"
Only then did Hong Yi come back to his senses, "This matter is easy to arrange, but I don't know which practice Master wants to teach?" My Master is omnipotent, but I can't teach everything. Leave some time for disciples like him to ask for advice.
It’s okay to ask for advice.
Fan Chen thought for a while and then decided, "Then let's do alchemy!" This would make it easier for her to take care of her body.
