C14 Expelling of spiritual energy
Seeing Han Yan's face of disbelief, Xie Hu became a little anxious and said, "You better believe it or not. Wanting to get hold of this thing is not a simple matter. "Firstly, this item can only be sold to outer disciples. If it is sold to the human world, it will be a capital offense."
Speaking up to here, he saw Han Li was listening carefully, and continued, "Second, we outer disciples, although the empire gives the family a pension, that amount of money is nothing compared to inner disciples, but it's just barely enough to feed them, and the treatment for honorary disciples is also the same. Therefore, many outer sect disciples wanted to get some money to send home. This way, it would form an unwritten rule that as long as they could afford it, they could buy the Cultivation Method. Of course, under normal circumstances, this opportunity would be ineffective against new disciples. Only new disciples who had been here for several years would have this opportunity. Think about it, after all these years that these disciples have come, as long as they persevere to complete the mission, they will have a chance to obtain the training method.
When Han Yan heard this, he finally understood and said. "After the sect found out about this, they didn't pursue this matter?"
Xie Hu waved his hand and said, "Investigate what? As long as we do not spread the word of the training method, who would ask about this matter? Everyone understood that us outer disciples, even if we obtained the training method, our talents are too poor, we would not be able to learn anything. Every three years, they would come and inspect the outer disciples to see if there are any disciples that have cultivated to the Qi Cultivating Stage. If there are, then they can break the limit and become an honorary disciple, or be selected by an elder and directly become an official disciple. "
These words were nothing to others, but to Han Yan, it was a heavenly pleasant surprise, he did not expect there to be such a good thing. But since that was the case, why did Tang Xiaofeng become so secretive back then?
Did he really not know about this situation, or did he not want to say it out loud so that he would feel that he owed him a huge favor? No matter what, Tang Xiaofeng had still helped him before, and Han Yan wasn't the type of person to hold a grudge. As long as he didn't overstep the boundaries of what he should do, he wouldn't put it in his heart.
When Xie Hu finished, he asked: "Did you train?"
Xie Hu nodded his head, and said depressingly: "Yesterday morning, I trained for a while, but my body did not have any spiritual energy, I really do not know how long I will need to cultivate." He looked at Han Yan and said seriously: "Han Yan, I consider you to be my brother. You should also take a good look at it later, and remember the training method and the technique." He had indeed treated Han Yan as his brother. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out such an important thing, let alone show it to Han Yan.
Han Yan was moved. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Xie Hu, this thing is so important, yet you …"
Xie Hu laughed and said, "What weight is not important, isn't it just a piece of broken paper? I'll write a few more later and sell them too. "
Han Yan laughed bitterly, and without putting on an act, he took the training method from Xie Hu's hands and started scrutinizing it. Although Han Yan had already known what was written on it, he still read it seriously, and at the same time, he knew that Tang Xiaofeng had not made any moves on the piece of paper. Of course, there was another important reason that made Xie Hu believe that he had never seen this thing before. Although private trading sects would not blame them, if they gave training method to others in private, heaven knew if they would be investigated for it.
After looking at it, Han Yan took a deep breath and said, "So deep."
Xie Hu nodded his head in agreement, and said: "I was also confused when I first saw it, especially that method of breathing, I just felt uncomfortable."
Back then, in order to adapt to this awkward breathing method, Han Yan had to persevere for a long time before being able to grasp it. Looking at Xie Hu's depressed expression, he said with a smile, "Xie Hu, you must believe me. "Now that I have the opportunity to cultivate in the Immortal World, I must cherish it. Who knows, maybe I'll become an official disciple in three years?"
Xie Hu also knew his own talent, so he smiled bitterly: "Forget about official disciples, being able to become an honorary disciple is something that the heavens have opened their eyes."
He paused for a moment and continued, "I heard that those with good talent can master breathing within a few days and reach Qi Disciple level 1 within a month. I think that it would be good if we could enter the sect within ten years."
After obtaining the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal, Han Yan was full of confidence as he said: "Maybe not that long." Xie Hu could take out the training method and share it with him, but he couldn't take out the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal. That thing could gather spirit energy and be absorbed by the Taoist after it was converted. If such a heaven defying thing was found out by an outsider, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing Xie Hu's lack of confidence, Han Yan muttered in his heart: "Xie Hu, I'm sorry, I can't help you right now."
Xie Hu did not know what Han Yan was thinking, and said with a smile: "Alright, let's go out and cultivate! That's right, do not stay in a place with people when cultivating. Although this matter does not offend the sect rule, it is still illegal, so it is better to do it in private. As long as there's no trouble, no one will pursue this matter. " Then, he patted his chest and said, "Brother, if anything really happens, tell others that I gave this to you."
Hearing that, Han Yan was completely moved, and that was what called a brother.
Han Yan thought that if something really happened, he would definitely not implicate Xie Hu.
The two of them left the room and went up the mountain. Han Yan walked towards the north. It was not as if he had never encountered such situations before. Back then, he had thought that these people had woken up early because of something else. Now, he understood that they were all going to train like him.
After walking for more than three kilometers, Han Yan chose a remote valley, took out the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal, and started cultivating.
Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal could not only condense spirit energy, it could also remove the impurities in the spirit energy and convert them into the purest spirit energy. When Han Yan cultivated, he only needed to place the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal before his nose and take deep breaths. Due to the purity of the spiritual energy, it didn't need to circulate within the body to expel impurities. As long as one followed the cultivation path, one could convert spiritual energy into spiritual energy and circulate it within the body.
In this way, not only did it save time to condense spiritual energy, it also increased the speed of cultivation.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. In this half month, Han Yan had persisted on cultivating for six hours every morning, and even though it wasn't much, the results were extremely obvious. The spiritual energy in his body had already reached saturation, and he was unable to absorb even the slightest amount of it. In this situation, Tang Xiaofeng's paper had also mentioned before that this was the peak of the entry level. As long as he secretly circulated the arts and opened the second layer of training method, he could continue to absorb spirit energy.
Han Yan tried to open it countless times, even when he was in bed, but he could not succeed. He understood that this was a factor in one's talent. Those with good talent would be able to succeed on their first try. Those with poor aptitude might need to be successful a hundred times, a thousand times, or even never.
Outside the room, cheers continuously sounded out. Han Yan knew that it was New Year, although Taoist had to abandon all distractions and focus on cultivation, outer sect disciples like them could not be called Taoist, and there were no strict requirements. During the new year, although one could not set off firecrackers like the mortals and post couplets, drinking and eating would still be permitted. After all, it was only once a year.
The door opened, and Xie Hu barged in with a jug of wine. He walked shakily to Han Yan and said: "Brother, why don't you go out and drink a few cups. If you don't have money, I can help you out." As he spoke, he patted his chest.
Drinking wine during the new year wasn't free. The sect wasn't that generous, and there were only two ways to drink wine. One was to go down the mountain and buy it in a city a few dozen miles away, and the other was to buy it from someone else.
There were two ways to buy wine from others. One was to pay double the price, and the other was to use the Wind Controlling Sigil. Those disciples who came to the Tianming Sect years ago had a lot of Wind Controlling Talisman in their hands, and often used the reason of visiting their families to trick some of the disciples into doing so. Although these runes could not be sold in the outside world, they could still be used as money within the sect. Moreover, they were very valuable.
Hearing Xie Hu's words, Han Yan smiled slightly and said: "No, I'll cultivate for a while more."
Ever since he was young, he had never liked liveliness. Moreover, this liveliness seemed to be quite happy, but it actually carried a hint of sadness. Because the outer sect disciples couldn't become Immortals due to their talent, they all had some resentment. These grievances could only be resolved by drinking wine, which only happened once a year. Aside from the female disciples, almost all of the outer disciples would choose to get drunk on this day.
Xie Hu picked up the jug of wine and gulped it down a few times. Then, he turned to Han Yan and said, "Brother, what cultivation do you want? If you can't even fix the clues in the morning, what can you do in the middle of the night? "
Saying that, he handed the wine gourd to Han Yan and said sternly: "Listen to me, we won't get drunk today, we won't …." With a pa sound, the wine jug fell to the ground, while Xie Hu fell flat on the ground.
Han Yan laughed bitterly. Knowing that he was drunk, he helped him to the bed.
Just as he was about to continue cultivating, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind and he quickly closed the doors and windows.
After that, Han Yan arrived in front of Xie Hu's bed, took out the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal from his bosom, and placed it by his nose, while saying to himself: "Brother, that's all I can help with.
As his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, he did not use any Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal s for the past few days. The Imperial Jade Seal stored a large amount of Spirit Qi, and as long as Han Yan used the Spirit Qi in his body, the Imperial Jade Seal would be able to release a large amount of Spirit Qi. This method of releasing spiritual energy was only grasped when one possessed spiritual energy.
The Spirit Qi that was being released from the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal was absorbed by Xie Hu. He was afraid that the Spirit Qi he was releasing was too little, so he did not allow him to enter, and released a large amount of it. After all, Xie Hu was not in the process of cultivation, and only God knows if this spiritual energy could be preserved after entering his body.
When Han Yan was releasing the spirit energy, he forgot about one problem. The spirit energy was like air, it was ethereal and did not dissipate just by closing the door or windows.
Han Yan did not discover this problem first, but rather, it was a disciple who passed by. The disciple was drunk. Due to his daily training, he was more sensitive to spirit energy than most people. The rich spiritual energy in the room was simply too dense. Even though he was drunk, he knew that with this level of spiritual energy, he would definitely be able to get started. He quickly threw away the wine gourd in his hand and sat down cross-legged.
Just then, a disciple not far from them shouted, "Wang Fei, what are you doing there? "Come here and drink."
Wang Fei waved his hands and said drunkenly, "No, I'm not going anymore … I, I want to cultivate. "
The surrounding disciples were stunned. One must know that cultivation was a covert matter. How could he possibly say such words? Therefore, there were a few disciples who had been through the same training as Wang Fei. While talking and talking in their sleep, they ran to Wang Fei to help him into the room. However, just as they arrived in front of Han Yan's room, they also felt a wave of pure spiritual energy emitting from the gap in the door. Their dazed state of mind instantly cleared up, and they looked at each other before sitting down cross-legged.
