Hearing this, the others also looked at Xu Chunniang, obviously curious as to how many Taoist levels she had obtained.
"Third grade."
Master once reminded her that there is no need to tell others the grade of Taoist platform.
If an outsider asks, he will tell you that he has three grades.
"I actually got the third grade!"
The female cultivator exclaimed and looked at Xu Chunniang, her face full of envy.
"You have obtained the third-grade Taoist foundation, and you came from the outer sect. You must have become the disciple of Elder Jindan, right?"
Xu Chunniang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
The master of Qianji Peak, Yue Yanru, has a cultivation level in the late Jindan period. Since she has entered his sect, she can naturally be called his disciple.
"The third-grade Taoist platform is great! It's a pity that I only got the fifth-grade Taoist platform. Although I also worshiped Elder Jindan as my teacher, I am just a registered disciple."
The female cultivator said, with a look of longing on her face, "I don't know when I will be able to become a regular person."
"As long as you practice wholeheartedly, there will always be opportunities."
Xu Chunniang was not very good at comforting others, so she thought for a long time and only said this.
"I know."
The female cultivator arched her eyebrows and said, "My name is Huo Chunyan, from Qifeng. What's your name?"
"My name is Xu Chunniang."
"What a coincidence, both of our names have the word spring in them."
Huo Chunyan's eyes showed a look of surprise. Before he could ask more questions, he caught a glimpse of a figure outside. He quickly shut his mouth and sat upright.
The others also sat upright.
Gu Yuanan walked into the teaching room and glanced around. When his eyes fell on Xu Chunniang, he froze slightly.
This female cultivator looked a little unfamiliar, but for some reason she felt familiar to him, as if she had seen her before.
It's just that he thought about it several times and couldn't remember where he had seen this female nun.
Gu Yuanan shook his head, maybe he remembered it wrong.
He walked to the stage and was about to start giving a lecture when his hand suddenly stopped.
He remembered.
The appearance of this female nun coincided with the appearance of a girl in my memory.
She has grown up a lot and changed a lot. Only between her eyebrows and eyes, she still has the outline of her childhood.
If it weren't for the monk's amazing memory, Gu Yuanan would not have been able to recognize it.
It has only been less than thirty years, and the outer disciple who was so inconspicuous back then has actually established a foundation?
Gu Yuanan's expression remained as usual, but he couldn't help being surprised.
It took thirty years to build the foundation, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to do.
He couldn't help but glance at the female cultivator, "What's your name? Are you a disciple?"
If she hasn't become a disciple yet, he might be able to help introduce one or two.
Such a talented person, if he has a good teacher to help him, he will be even more powerful.
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly replied, "Disciple Xu Chunniang has become a disciple of Qianji Peak."
Gu Yuanan nodded, started today's lecture without asking any more questions.
"Yesterday we said that the art of wielding a sword lies in controlling the air. The new energy in the body captures the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth. Only when the two qi blend and combine can the air be controlled in the weapon, so that it can travel smoothly between the heaven and the earth."
With that said, Gu Yuanan started to demonstrate on the spot.
After the spiritual energy in his body traveled around the sky, it started a small circulation in the body and gave birth to a ray of energy.
"After the monks build the foundation, the circulation in the body will generate itself. What you have to do is to capture the trajectory of this circulation in the body and gain new vitality."
At first glance, this newly generated qi seems to be no different from the surrounding aura, but in fact it is very different.
This wisp of qi is also called true qi, and it is the key to establishing a foundation to communicate with heaven and earth.
As the spiritual energy in Gu Yuanan's body continued to circulate, more and more true energy was generated, condensing into a small cyclone.
"Once the cyclone is born, it attracts the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to enter the period. The two merge with each other and soon become one, regardless of each other.
Although you can't see anything special about this cyclone with your naked eyes, you can understand what I'm saying if you use your spiritual sense to explore it.
Now that the two qi have been blended and combined, the next step is to control the qi in a weapon."
As he spoke, Gu Yuanan wrapped the air ball with his spiritual consciousness and carefully guided it into the flying sword.
As soon as the air mass entered the flying sword, the flying sword instantly rose into the air and floated in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. It seemed that the secret of sword control was hidden in this small air ball.
Xu Chunniang also stared at Feijian intently, sighing in her heart.
This skill of flying with a sword is truly wonderful.
Gu Yuanan looked around, put away his flying sword, and casually swung the air ball away.
"Okay, my demonstration ends here. Next, according to what I said before, you can start practicing from the small loop step."
After hearing this, everyone closed their eyes and sat up to meditate. Following Senior Brother Gu's previous appearance, they began to generate the new energy.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes and felt the spiritual power moving around her body.
The spiritual energy first comes out of the Dantian, then circulates through the Lesser Heaven, and then enters the Greater Heaven, reaching all parts of the body.
"Relax and don't deliberately guide the circulation of spiritual energy. This will break the small circulation in the body and make it more difficult to capture its traces."
A message fell into Xu Chunniang's ears, and it was Senior Brother Gu's voice.
She slowed down her breathing, did not deliberately guide the circulation of spiritual energy, and calmly perceived the so-called "circulation in the body."
The teaching room was quiet, except for the occasional long breathing sound.
The two hours of teaching time passed in the blink of an eye. After Gu Yuanan explained the essentials again, he left the teaching room.
"Sigh, sword control is really difficult. I've been learning it for a week, but I've only just sensed the circulation in my body. I'm still far away from giving birth to that new vitality."
Huo Chunyan couldn't help but sigh.
"Just be content. You can sense a small cycle in a week, which is pretty good. I heard that some brothers and sisters can only get to this point in a month!"
"One month, that's too slow."
Huo Chunyan clicked his tongue, "At this speed, how long will it take to learn the art of sword control?"
"It will take about a year."
The disciple who spoke earlier made an estimate and said, "But this is just a matter of learning. If you want to fully master it and use it skillfully, it will probably take more than a year."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, then relaxed.
Although she had not captured the trajectory of the small cycle just now, she had some vague clues, and she thought it would take less than a week to find its pattern.
Huo Chunyan turned around and extended the invitation enthusiastically.
"Senior Sister Xu, I am a minor in formation. In the afternoon, Elder Jin Dan will give a lecture on formation. Are you going to go? If so, we can go together."
"Not going."
Xu Chunniang shook her head slightly. She wanted to learn how to control a sword first before talking about anything else.
"As a disciple of Qianji Peak, you didn't go to the formation class when Elder Jindan taught you?"
Huo Chunyan was surprised at first, and then a look of understanding appeared on her face.
"Yes, I forgot that you worshiped Elder Jin Dan as your teacher. You can listen to Master's sermons every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. No wonder you don't go. Okay, I'll go first then. See you later."
After saying that, Huo Chunyan left the teaching room in a hurry, and she had to hurry over to occupy her seat.
Otherwise, if you arrive late, you won't be able to get in.
Then several more people left the teaching room, and finally only Chun Niang and the two male cultivators remained inside.
Xu Chunniang thought for a while, walked out of the teaching hall and walked towards the practice ground.
