Chapter 81: Chapter 75 True Knowledge Impartation_2
Soon, Heavens’ Order had deduced a suitable cultivation technique for Hong Yi.
Seeing that the previous two had finished their turns, Yu Xiaoyu didn’t hesitate, the bells on her body jingling as she leaped in front of everyone.
“Teacher… I’ve hit it!”
Just as she was about to begin, she saw Zhang laoshi not far away with his eyebrows furrowed, appearing somewhat dazed, so she couldn’t help but ask carefully.
“Yes, go ahead!”
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
From yesterday’s consolidation of the Heaven’s Path Divine Art, finding the flaws in Wild Horse and subduing it, to assisting Liu Mingyue and Hong Yi in deriving cultivation methods… the Heavenly Mandate Vitality that he had painstakingly absorbed into the Library of Heaven’s Path during the Source Pool evaluation was now completely depleted, not a single one left…
That meant… even if Yu Xiaoyu continued to practice her punches, continued to practice, she could no longer form books that embodied flaws, not to mention a cultivation technique tailored to her own needs!
Without this, how could he teach her?
It couldn’t be… that he would teach the first two students but tell her to wait until tomorrow!
Yet, without a suitable, customized cultivation method, careless teaching might cause problems, since Origin qi was thick and powerful, vastly different from the spiritual energy of the past.
In an instant, Zhang Xuan didn’t know what to do.
…
Outside Baiyan Academy, Chen Hao and his two followers, Zhou Qingkai and Wang Yuxing, had been waiting early.
As time passed by steadily and still no one appeared, Chen Hao couldn’t contain himself anymore, “It’s too late, I’ll go stop that Miscellaneous Duties Teacher first, find a way to force him to change to a public lesson, and you wait here for my father and the Liu Clan head. Once they arrive, bring them over immediately to expose his ugly face in public!”
Zhou Qingkai and Wang Yuxing both saluted, “Yes!”
Inside the classroom.
While Zhang Xuan was entangled in his thoughts, Yu Xiaoyu had finished a series of fist techniques, the Strength Measuring Formation trembled, and her score appeared… 0.42.
It was even slightly higher than Liu Mingyue’s, much to the latter’s disbelief and inner frustration.
With no Heavenly Mandate Vitality to create books, as the World’s Teacher with the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan could still discern most of the problems in their practice, it was just that deducing an appropriate cultivation method was somewhat beyond him.
With a thought, he carefully compared the cultivation methods generated through Heavens’ Order for Liu Mingyue and Hong Yi in his mind and quickly noted the differences.
The former was more exquisite, while the latter emphasized the basics.
If Hong Yi were a regular student, then Liu Mingyue would be the Olympiad contender. Therefore, even if he were to teach the same lesson, he still needed to differentiate the content; otherwise, those who couldn’t learn would be wasting their time.
“The situation with Yu Xiaoyu is still unclear… today I will explain some basic knowledge to them first, trying out the tempering of meridians. Tomorrow, when I find Heavenly Mandate Vitality and create the corresponding cultivation techniques, I’ll pass them on one by one…”
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan had made a plan, he looked up at the three students before him, “I now understand each of your situations, and I’m going to guide you in practicing the Accumulative Realm.”
“Yes!”
All three students sat down, each full of curiosity, clearly wanting to know what insights and understanding this young teacher could offer them and how he could help.
Pleased with everyone’s attitude, Zhang Xuan nodded and explained, “The Accumulative Realm, as the name implies, is the process in which a cultivator accumulates strength. A portion of the pure Origin qi refined through the Furnace is stored in the Source Pool as a reserve, another part tempers the meridians throughout the body, laying the foundation for the Physique Realm, Fourthfold of Source Pool Realm…”
“The speed of refining Origin qi is related to the tier of the Furnace, but the speed of tempering the meridians is associated with the cultivation technique! The one that suits oneself will double the results, allowing cultivators to quickly accumulate strength and charge the Physique. Unsuitable ones could mire one in a quagmire of negligible progress…”
“I will now explain some basic tempering methods. Try to test the endurance of your own meridians. Tell me once you reach your limit, so that I can create personalized secret manuals for you…”
“Personalized creation?”
Liu Mingyue and Yu Xiaoyu looked at each other, both stunned, “Isn’t the cultivation technique you’re teaching us the ‘Recovery and Energy Storage Technique’ from the academy?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, “This cultivation method is rife with errors, how can I allow my students to study it…”
Although these three were not his direct disciples, mere recipients of his knowledge impartation, as the World’s Teacher, he might disregard other matters but never when it came to teaching.
A teacher is a teacher, and with such a title, one must not mislead the younger generation!
Without continuing on this problem, Zhang Xuan added, “What I’m going to explain now is the basics of the Accumulative Phase. The Origin qi that has been refined in the Furnace is indeed much gentler, but the human meridians are incomparably frail and many areas are still unconnected, like long-neglected canals filled with silt. Thus, the so-called refining of the meridians is really a process of clearing the silt…”
“And speaking of silt, forcefully pushing will lead to it piling up, which is detrimental to future cultivation. Hence, in my teachings, there is the principle of the ‘three repairs’ and the ‘three no repai’s…”
“The first repair, control qi into threads, to pass through the perilous areas!”
“The second repair…”
Zhang Xuan quickly explained the basics of the Accumulative Phase that had been formed from the Library of Heaven’s Path in detail.
Liu Mingyue and Yu Xiaoyu both showed expressions of surprise.
As clan members, although they had not yet practiced the cultivation techniques of the Accumulative Realm, they had seen and heard of the method before; this kind of theory, however, was unheard of to them.
“He must be making this up just to deceive us!”
Liu Mingyue scoffed inwardly, a trace of disdain in her eyes, “What does a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher know anyway!”
However, this thought did not last long and started to waver, “Some parts actually seem to make sense… I’ll try practicing covertly as he suggested. As for saving face, I’ll continue to pretend to not understand, just to infuriate him to death!”
With that in mind, Liu Mingyue carried her chin high, deliberately showing a puzzled expression on her face, while she quietly mobilized the well-refined pure Origin qi, spreading it towards a meridian inside her body.
This meridian was close to the Source Pool, the first place an Origin warrior would refine. According to the previously known methods, cultivators needed to control the Origin qi to incessantly rush against the narrow passage, much like pouring a large quantity of water directly into a canal to achieve the effect of clearing the silt.
But the method taught by Teacher Zhang involved controlling the Origin qi into fine lines, flowing once to detect the areas where silt had accumulated, categorize them, and then deal with each one using a special method.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Using his method to control the finely controlled Origin qi, she quickly probed through the meridian and detected all the congestion, categorizing the “silt” into three types, all as Teacher Zhang had mentioned. She followed his described technique and struck one of the congestions with a forceful blast of Origin qi.
Boom!
The meridian gently quivered, its blockage promptly cleared, and the previously weak channel became much stronger…
“His method seems to work… but it’s just clearing the meridians anyway, the impact shouldn’t be that significant!”
Surprised by the truth in his words, Liu Mingyue was once again skeptical.
Although she knew some cultivation methods, she had not real hands-on practice, meaning she only knew the theory with no practical experience. Since this Miscellaneous Duties Teacher’s method easily swept away the silt… other people’s techniques should not be difficult, right!
But no matter, clear it first and worry about the rest later.
Even if your technique is effective, as long as I keep saying I don’t understand… what can you do to me?
With that thought, she kept up the pretense of confusion, diligently clearing the silt without any delay.
Different from her actions, Yu Xiaoyu felt troubled.
Although she did not know much about the techniques of the Accumulative Realm, having been born in the City Lord Residence endowed her with exceptional discernment. It seemed… Teacher Zhang’s technique surpassed that of other teachers’ Recovery and Energy Storage Technique!
But whether it could compare to the City Lord Residence’s Five Directions Energy Storage Technique, she was not sure!
“It probably can’t compare, my father said the Five Directions Energy Storage Technique is Baiyan City’s pinnacle Accumulative Phase secret manual; no other method can match it… so I won’t practice it for now!”
Clear in her mind, Yu Xiaoyu secretly made a decision.
Anyway, her father would transmit a more high-class cultivation technique to her in the evening. Why not just skip ahead, no need to start with a weaker technique and then have to revise it… Therefore, she opted to pretend to understand and just muddle through.
