"As a monk, preserving yourself is the first priority in cultivation. Only by preserving yourself can you have a future.
When I went to Xihefang for the first time, I was unlucky enough to encounter the Xihefang Rebellion.
You may have heard the elders in your family say how our family suffered heavy losses back then. Only four of the thirteen monks who were stationed at Xihefang in our family escaped safely.
Even an elder of the family disappeared during this battle.
My cultivation back then was only at the sixth level of Qi training, which was of course higher than yours.
But in the Xihefang Rebellion, he was just a little ant.
If I could not survive back then, there would be no foundation-building monk Zhang Zhixuan today.
The reason why I survived was because of the ordinary magic of light body.
Because I am very skilled in the light body technique, my explosive power far exceeds the enemies at the seventh level of Qi training.
Because I knew how to use the light body technique, I was able to avoid vital points at the critical moment and escaped from the enemy's hands several times.
Some of you are about to reach adulthood. Once you go down the mountain, you will face various threats.
Facing these dangers, in the first ten years, what you have to do is not how to kill the enemy, that is a matter between us and the elders.
All you have to do is escape and pass the news back, and you will be considered a meritorious service.
And if you want to escape, there are several spells that you must learn, and the first one you must learn is the Light Body Technique."
Seeing that the young men below were all listening attentively, Zhang Zhixuan took a sip of tea, moistened the mulberries and continued to speak.
"The spell of lightening one's body is easiest for monks with wind spiritual roots to learn, followed by wood spiritual roots and earth spiritual roots. It is also easier for monks with golden and fire spiritual roots to learn it.
To learn this magic, you must first open up the Shaoyin meridian on the soles of your feet.
In the Shaoyin Meridian, one of the most important acupoints is the Yongquan point. If the Yongquan point is damaged, you will not be able to learn this spell no matter what.
Therefore, if you want to save your life in the fight, you must take care of the soles of your feet and do not let the soles of your feet be damaged.
After you have refined your spiritual energy, you have entered the first level of Qi training and have begun to open up some of your meridians, allowing you to perform weekly circulation.
To learn this spell, the first step is to store part of the mana in the Yongquan Point.
When you are ready to use the light body technique, you can mobilize the magic power in your Dantian and activate the inspiration of the gushing water, so that you can walk as fast as flying and jump and run.
Next, I will talk about how to transfer a trace of magic power to Yongquan point.
The first is the simplest. Put a spiritual stone on the Yongquan point on the sole of your foot every day and massage the acupuncture point to let it adapt to the spiritual energy. After half a year, it will be easier for you to deliver mana from the Dantian.
According to the experience of some seniors, as long as you have both wood and earth spiritual roots, it is relatively easy to do this.
The second is to forcibly run the spell, using the spiritual power in the Dantian to impact the Yongquan point, and store the magic power in it.
But this approach is more dangerous. You are currently inexperienced in cultivation, and you still don’t know how to measure it properly.
Once an accident occurs and the meridians are injured, there will be hidden injuries and, if not, lifelong sequelae.
When you are learning spells, you must always visualize them in your mind and be prepared to face various surprises.
After discovering that your mana is out of control, don't panic or worry too much.
You must move your Dantian calmly, even if your body is in great pain, you must absorb the magic power into your Dantian bit by bit.
Compared with unbearable physical pain, your life, health, and path are more important..."
Time passed very quickly, and Zhang Zhixuan was talking vigorously when he realized that the sun had already reached the top of his head, and it was noon unknowingly.
Zhang Zhixuan saw that it was already getting late and these young monks had a lot of homework every day, so he speeded up, cut out the nonsense, and quickly explained all aspects of this spell clearly.
"If you still have any questions, please raise them now. Of course, it is not limited to the magic of light body. You can raise any questions about cultivation."
A tall young man, dressed as luxuriously as if he were a nobleman, stood up and asked the first question.
"Uncle Fourteenth, tell us about foundation building!"
This young man is the grandson of his seventeenth uncle Zhang Mengqian, and his name is Zhang Sidao.
As a blood descendant of a family elder, he has more resources than ordinary monks.
Although he is only fifteen years old, his cultivation has already reached the third level of Qi training, and he is considered to be the fastest progressing among these young monks.
This young man was very dear to Uncle Seventeen. Zhang Zhixuan had met him several times before when he went to his cave.
"You are the grandson of the seventeenth uncle's family, I told you not to talk about things other than cultivation.
Asking this kind of question shows that your character is not yet mature. From now on, you are not allowed to ask questions in class for half a year, leaving the opportunity to others.
After this class, I will review your progress at my next lecture. Only the top five monks will have the opportunity to ask questions next time.
As a monk in the foundation-building period of my family, I am very tight on time and do not have much free time to explain to you questions on the path.
You must cherish the opportunity to ask questions, and do not follow Zhang Sideo's example and ask such irrelevant questions."
Zhang Zhixuan's unkind reprimand made Zhang Sideo blush.
These teenagers may be afraid of becoming the second Zhang Sidao and being scolded by Zhang Zhixuan.
Most of them didn't dare to speak, which made Zhang Zhixuan shake his head for a while.
From this small incident, Zhang Zhixuan knew that among the twenty-some young men, there was no one who stood out for the time being.
Among these young people, they may not have good spiritual roots, but if they want to go far on the road, they must have something extraordinary in their character.
Maybe they were still young and were photographed by Zhang Zhixuan's power as a foundation-building monk.
But just from this point of view, these young people are still not good enough in terms of character.
"That's right. Apart from outliers like me and Qing Chan, the family has produced two spiritual root monks, Patriarch Chu Yun and Han Yan, for four hundred years in a row. And they also have good character, which can be regarded as their ancestors' virtues. Do you still think so?
Want to ask for more.
There are more monks in the world than ordinary people, how can there be so many geniuses?"
Seeing that no one dared to ask questions, Zhang Zhixuan shook his head in disappointment, took out his flying sword, and flew back to the cave without saying a word.
Not long after he sat down, he received a reply from the clan leader.
Zhang Zhixuan didn't have time to rest, so he told Qingchan that he was going on a long trip and went directly to Tiantai Peak.
It turned out that the letter from the clan leader turned out to be the recruitment order sent by Qingxuan Sect.
This time Qingxuanzong must have made a big move, actually recruiting and mobilizing all the families in the three southeastern counties.
Like Zhang Zhixuan's Zhang family, they will dispatch a foundation builder and thirty Qi-training monks to participate in the Qingxuan Sect's collective action.
Zhang Zhixuan directly entered the clan leader's cave in the back mountain, only to find that the clan leader Zhang Leqian had already packed his luggage.
"Third Uncle, do you know why Qingxuan Sect actually issued a large-scale recruitment order?"
"It is said that the mysterious green dragon was discovered. Zhao Xinlian of Qingxuan Sect was seriously injured by the green dragon in the southern wilderness and almost could not come back.
However, this time it is said that Zhao Xinlian's physical injuries were serious, and it is estimated that her path is hopeless."
"Isn't Zhao Xinlian a monk from the Zifu?
Even if he is not Qingjiao's opponent, he should be able to escape unscathed, why is he in such a mess?"
Zhang Zhixuan clearly knew that Zhao Xinlian was already at the fifth level of the Purple Mansion, and was much higher in cultivation than Wu Siheng and Hu Peiyu. She was the golden elixir seed of the Qingxuan Sect.
This time he was seriously injured. If Qingxuan Sect didn't cause trouble for Qingjiao, it might not be easy to explain to the monks of the sect.
