Chapter 72: Fifth Level of Qi Training! Hai Rui: The Emperor's Secret Order? (Seeking Follow-up Reading) For three consecutive days, there was no news from Liu Quan. Well, in his words, the visiting card was sent, but Huang Fenggu did not respond, so he could only wait. This made Liu Quan very unhappy, and he complained to Huang Fenggu again. On this day, in the inheritance pavilion, on the top floor. "Huh." Jiajing exhaled slowly and opened his eyes, "his state of mind has loosened again." For Jiajing, he has been stuck at the fourth level of Qi training for a long time, and so far, his realm has been relaxed twice. "After negotiating with the Yellow Wind Valley, I can start my retreat to break through to the fifth level of Qi training," Jiajing thought. Suddenly, he heard a long howl from a distance. It was Liu Quan. "Sir!" "It seems that it has been done. Huang Fenggu has agreed to meet." Thinking of this, Jiajing stood up and went to the reception room. "This time when I go to Sifang City, I can buy some more storage bags to store soil..." Yes, after cultivating the spiritual field in the backyard of Yuxi Palace last time, Jiajing decided to find more spiritual soil.
He has been observing the development of the spiritual field through his natal chart. If nothing unexpected happens, the spiritual field should be successful. "Sir," Liu Quan rushed up to the sixth floor and came to the reception room with footsteps. He said directly, "Yesterday I received a letter from Huang Fenggu, and I went there in person..." "Old Huang Feng agreed to meet." "Sit down and talk," Jiajing said calmly, pushing a cup of spiritual tea in front of Liu Quan, "He will definitely agree." "Gulp." Liu Quan took a sip of tea, took off his shoes and sat cross-legged across the small table. "My previous guess was right. Old Huang Feng just wants to embarrass us." "This old man really remembers the grudges from the war!" Liu Quan curled his lips and said, "If we had known that this old man's children were favored by the academy and Shushan Sword Sect, we would have naturally shown mercy and acted more cautiously." "This old man is hiding his incompetence and causing great harm to others!" As he continued to curse, Liu Quan saw that Jiajing remained calm, so he smiled, then calmed down and said: "The time is set. One month later, at the White Horse Building." "The people from Huangfeng Valley are the head of the sect, Huang Feng, and his confidant Geng Huo. On our side, it's you and me," Liu Quan said, pausing slightly, and then added, "The left protector will meet us outside the city." Although under Confucian rules, no one dares to kill people openly, this is a world of cultivating immortals after all, and there are many escaped independent cultivators and evil cultivators. These people are typical desperadoes who have done a lot of murder and robbery. As long as you do things cleanly and efficiently and don't get discovered, you will still be an innocent person in this world of cultivating immortals. Upon hearing that Dugu Xiong would be waiting outside the city, Jiajing naturally understood what it meant. This was to guard against a hidden attack from the Huangfeng Valley. Although Dugu Xiong's cultivation is not as strong as that of Dugu Ying, a great cultivator in the Jindan stage, he is also in the late foundation-building stage and is considered a strong man in this area. Once a conflict or a killing occurs, the noise of the battle will certainly attract the attention of the monks from the academy stationed in Sifang City. In almost every one of the twelve cities in the Great Wilderness, there is a Nascent Soul in charge, and there is also a teleportation array connecting to the academy. Once there is someone or any force that dares to challenge the authority of Confucianism, the top experts will come to teach them a lesson in a matter of minutes. "That's great." When Jiajing heard that the date was set for a month later, he didn't feel anything. It just so happened that during this month, he could find time to break through to the fifth level of Qi training.
"Tsk, sir, your question really stumped those little guys." After taking a sip of tea, Liu Quan seemed to have thought of something, smiled and looked at Jiajing, saying: "Whether it's killing one or five, hey, the result doesn't matter to me." "But those little guys are all simple-minded. They all want to save people, but they also feel guilty about saving people." "This question is really tormenting." Hearing this, Jiajing smiled slightly and said, "What I want to tell them is actually how to make choices." “In the process of achieving your goal, there will always be unsatisfactory results. The most important thing is to know what you want.” "Using this story to ask a question seems to be a test of conscience," Jiajing said, turning his head to look at Liu Quan, and said, "They are in the world of cultivating immortals, and are destined to participate in cruel competition." "It's good for them to be enlightened and think ahead of time." "Train their character and ability to accept in advance?" Hearing Jiajing say this, Liu Quan seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded and said no more. These children are the future of the sect. Having a mature mind and learning to think from a young age will also be of great benefit on the path of spiritual practice. He was born as a casual cultivator, without a master. He understood many truths through his repeated experiences as a casual cultivator. Although the path to becoming an immortal is about realm and accomplishment, the state of mind is also extremely important. Some large sects often arrange for their disciples to transform into mortals, prohibit their cultivation, and train their character in the mortal world. Or they train in special trial secret realms or formations. In addition, there are many secret realms or inheritances from senior masters in those blessed places in the world of immortal cultivation. These senior masters always like to set up layers of tests. Moreover, as the cultivation level increases, it is said that after reaching the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul stage begins to comprehend the laws and so on. Afterwards, the Way of Heaven will send down thunder tribulations, some of which are capable of confusing the mind, which shows the requirements for one’s character. Daming is a newly emerging sect. Although it has Dugu Ying in charge, it is a medium-sized sect, but its foundation is too shallow. Sometimes they cannot even be compared with those small sects that have been passed down for hundreds of years, so the training of disciples is naturally not perfect either. If there were resources, various secret realms, and magic arrays to arrange, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to train one's mind. Jiajing was able to pay attention to this aspect when these little ones were young, which filled in some gaps and was considered to be an early bird. Afterwards, the two chatted about some other things, and Jiajing also asked Liu Quan for some experience in spiritual practice. After all, Liu Quan is now a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training and is about to break through to the foundation building stage. Jiajing will naturally not miss this opportunity. To study, one must be a master, not to mention the path of cultivating immortality. Jiajing could naturally learn from others without any shame. It is useless to be pretentious. Only when you get real benefits can you be real. In the following month, Jiajing began to retreat again. Those little guys, like Dugu Donglai and Li Yu, have good talents and have actually begun to draw Qi into their bodies. It is obvious that their fate is extraordinary. It is estimated that it will not take long before they will break through to the first level of Qi training. A month passed by in a hurry. On the top floor of the Inheritance Pavilion, in Jiajing's inner room, formations had been activated and layers of restrictions had been set up. "Huff, huff, huff." In the inner room, Jiajing sat cross-legged, his clothes rustling as they were blown by the spiritual energy.
"Wow!" Finally, with a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy, the tables and chairs in the inner room were shaken. When all the spiritual energy subsided, Jiajing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, gently exhaled a breath of foul air, and then slowly opened his eyes. "Fifth level of Qi training!" After a month and consuming more than sixty taels of spiritual energy, Jiajing finally broke through again. At this time, his cultivation level was already on par with the third elder Liu Yuan. Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations in his body that were even more surging than before, Ji Jiajing smiled. Is there anything in the world that could be more satisfying than achieving breakthroughs again and again after cultivating into an immortal? After calming down, Jiajing looked out the window and saw that the sky was gradually getting darker and it was already night. "It's been a month. I don't know how Daming is doing..." Thinking of the spiritual field in the backyard of Yuxi Palace, and the "Public Security Memorial" that he had asked Lu Fang to deliver to Hai Rui as soon as possible, Jiajing had just made a breakthrough and had nothing to do, so he entered the sea of consciousness. It was broad daylight in the Ming Dynasty at this time. With a thought, he first came to the outside of Yuxi Palace. Lu Fang was sitting cross-legged, and there was no one around. Well, after all, he is cultivating immortality now, so naturally, others cannot know about it. Besides, it is enough for Yuxi Palace to be guarded by him alone. Seeing that Lu Fang didn't pray for anything, he thought that everything in Ming Dynasty was stable. Looking at Lu Fang again, he could feel a faint aura flowing around his body. Obviously, this old guy's Qi-inducing skills have achieved some results. "Yes, I will be able to draw Qi into my body within two to three months," Jiajing thought, and waved his hand, and the spiritual field in the backyard of Yuxi Palace enlarged. It was still the spiritual field space that was like a bulging bubble, but the spiritual energy was even richer, constantly nourishing the spiritual soil. The spiritual herbs that were originally sparse were now much more dense. The willow sapling was lush and green, and it was swaying gently. It looked like it was doing well. The spiritual field had been cultivated successfully! "As expected," Jiajing nodded slightly, and his mood became better and better. His cultivation broke through the fifth level of Qi training. The cultivation of Daming's spiritual field was very successful, and Lu Fang was about to draw Qi into his body. Everything is going smooth! "From the capital to Dinghai County, if we ride at full speed, it should take at least a month," Jiajing thought of giving Hai Rui some authority from "heaven", his heart moved, and his eyes turned to Dinghai County. In an instant, the focus was on Dinghai County, inside the county government office. "Oh, I almost missed the good show..." Jiajing chuckled as his eyes moved to the room at the back of the county government office. Then he waved his hand and enlarged the back hall of the county government office. He wanted to see Hai Rui's reaction with his own eyes! Behind the county government office, in Hai Rui's study. Hai Rui sat behind the table, looking at the emperor's secret decree sealed with wax in his hand, and glanced suspiciously at Wang Yongji standing beside him. "Brother Gangfeng, since it's for you, I'll take my leave." Although Wang Yongji was also curious, he couldn't read it since it was a secret decree. After bowing, he turned and left. After the door was closed, Hai Rui wondered what secret order the emperor would give him. After he calmed down for a while, he opened the secret order. "Looks like a memorial?" Hai Rui thought as he looked at the memorial with a blank cover, then opened it and started reading. "Here it comes!" Seeing this, Jiajing's mouth curled up slightly. "..." Everyone, it’s Monday, a very crucial day, please read on, please, please!!! (End of this chapter)
