As soon as the red sun rose from the eastern horizon, Qi Zicai returned to the Qi Family Village. On the way down the mountain, he was in a good mood and the sky was bright, so he walked very fast. Compared to the time when he went to the Qi Family Village, he saved a lot of time.
From afar, he saw his eldest brother, Qi Ziyan, several senior brothers, and his father, Qi Fu, who were supervising them on the grain-sunning ground of the Qi Family Village.
"Zicai, how was it? You were cheated, weren't you? "Qi Ziyan asked with a smile when he saw his third brother coming back. Qi Fu snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Qi Zicai for wasting the morning's time.
According to his usual character, Qi Zicai would definitely refute his eldest brother's accusation. But now, he didn't take it to heart. He smiled calmly and didn't answer his eldest brother's question. Instead, he directly talked about the content of the senior's lecture today. In his heart, he muttered, "In the past, my father told me to be calm and steady, but I couldn't do it at all. But now I can naturally do it. In the final analysis, it's because of this matter. I believe that I am right, so I don't panic."
Qi Zicai's memory was not as good as that of the Out of Body Realm and the Qi Drawing Realm, so he only remembered a small part of the content of Shi Xuan's lecture. Even so, Qi Fu, Qi Ziyan, and the others were moved. They could easily tell that it was much better than the Taoist skill jade slips they bought in the shop in the city!
"Third brother, I've wronged you. I apologize to you here." Qi Ziyan was sincerely apologizing. The fact that Qi Zicai was willing to let bygones be bygones and talk about this was equivalent to reminding them not to miss the chance to listen to the preaching of the senior. After all, the fewer people who knew about this kind of opportunity, the better. Qi Zicai's actions showed that he cared about his family.
Originally, the hundreds of cultivators who came to the top of Bamboo Mountain to listen to the preaching had made up their minds not to spread the news. However, their relatives and friends still had to talk about it. Their relatives and friends had their relatives and friends. Just like that, one to ten, ten to a hundred. By the time Qi Zicai, Qi Fu, and the others arrived at the top of Bamboo Mountain on the second day, there were thousands of cultivators on the top of Bamboo Mountain. That was the majority of the cultivators in Anxi City and its vicinity.
Shi Xuan came out of the bamboo hut. Looking at the dense crowd of people in front of him, he didn't say much and flew to the big rock, continuing the content of yesterday's preaching today.
The two stages of Body Refining and Qi Nourishing were the foundation, so the cultivators who came yesterday still understood and were intoxicated. Of course, there were many cultivators who had prepared jade slips in advance and used the Recording Spell to automatically record from the beginning of Shi Xuan's preaching.
The number of beasts and birds listening to the preaching didn't increase much compared to yesterday, but each of them seemed to have a little bit of intelligence. Whether they were squatting or standing, they all seemed to be a little bit smart.
"From now on, every five days of preaching, I will leave an hour to answer your questions. That's all for today. Please come early tomorrow. " After Shi Xuan finished his preaching, he saw several cultivators quickly woke up from their intoxication and opened their mouths to ask questions, so he said lightly.
…
A few hundred miles away from Anxi City, there was a big city called Four Rivers City. It was the place where the four rivers Anxi, Mingxi, Qishui, and Jiajiang met. The waterway was prosperous, much more prosperous than Anxi City.
In a small house in the west of the city, Zhao Xingfan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, visualizing to strengthen his soul. Since his parents passed away early, he had devoted himself to cultivation and was extremely diligent. He was only one step away from the Astral Projection.
"Phew." Zhao Xingfan slowly breathed out a mouthful of turbid air and stood up. Although he was only one step away from the Astral Projection, he was still lacking something. Unfortunately, he didn't have the money to buy those Daoist books and jade slips. Did he have to sell this house? Or go deep into the mountains or the river bottom and risk a lot of danger to catch some demonic beasts?
Knock, knock, knock. At this time, someone knocked on the door of the small house. Zhao Xingfan was a little confused. He didn't have many friends and relatives, and he had been concentrating on cultivation all these years. Why would there be people coming to visit?
With doubts, Zhao Xingfan went out of the room and walked to the door of the courtyard. He opened the door and saw his former neighbor, Sun Dong. "Brother Sun, what can I do for you?" There were several servants standing behind him.
Sun Dong was an amiable and fat rich man in his thirties. At this time, he smiled and waved the letter in his hand. "I was about to go to the trading house today and found that someone sent a letter to your previous house. Hehe, they didn't know that you had already moved here. I saw that it was on the way, so I sent it to you, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Xingfan took the letter and said gratefully, "I only told my relatives and friends in the city that I moved here. This letter was probably sent from outside." As he spoke, he glanced at the surface of the letter and saw the name Qi Ziyan of Anxi City. He thought to himself, "A few years ago, when I went to Anxi City, I became friends with this Qi Ziyan. But I don't know why he wrote this letter."
Seeing that Zhao Xingfan hadn't read the letter, Sun Dong said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, read the letter first. If you want to reply, I can help you take it to the trading house and ask someone to deliver it."
Zhao Xingfan thanked Sun Dong for his kindness and tore open the envelope. He took out the letter and flung it open. Zhao Xingfan's spirit was lifted at a glance. His eyes lit up, and he wanted nothing more than to grow a pair of wings and fly away.
"Hehe, looks like it's a good thing? Brother Zhao, "Sun Dong asked casually.
Zhao Xingfan was excited and answered directly, "This is a letter from Fellow Daoist Qi of Anxi City. He said that on top of Anxi City's Zhushan, there is a senior in the realm of divinity who is publicly lecturing on Dao. Ha, this is my opportunity. There's hope for a breakthrough now!"
"Publicly lecturing on Dao?" Sun Dong frowned. "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not, but we've been neighbors for many years. I've also watched you grow up, so I have to give you a word of warning. Cultivation consumes a lot of energy. You've already sold your mansion and moved back to your ancestral home, so it's best not to force yourself and continue cultivating. Strengthening your body and enjoying life in peace is the right path."
Zhao Xingfan retorted, "To me, cultivation is to enjoy life."
Sun Dong was exasperated that Zhao Xingfan didn't live up to his expectations. He sneered and said, "Hehe, enjoying life? Although I've only tempered my body and strengthened my body, I've heard many things in my many years of business. Once you embark on the path of cultivation, it's incomparably dangerous. Monsters and demons can kill you and your Dao. Even if you're lucky enough to survive, you'll have to run around for some spirit herbs and materials, putting yourself in danger again. Moreover, you'll have to plot against each other and stab each other in the back. Isn't such a life tiring? In my opinion, it's better to live a carefree life like a mortal like me. What's the point of cultivating?! "
"How can that be?! Cultivation can lead to immortality! "Zhao Xingfan couldn't find anything else to refute, so he could only answer this point.
Sun Dong shook his head and said, "Immortality? What's the point of living such a painful life?! It's not as good as living with my parents, enjoying my children, a virtuous wife, and wearing gold and silver! Brother Zhao, listen to my advice. Find a wife, have a baby, and enjoy the happiness of a family. It's much better than that naggy cultivator! "
Zhao Xingfan was speechless for a moment. He could only shake his head and say, "I've made up my mind. I'll pack my luggage immediately and head to Anxi City."
Sun Dong sighed and said, "You'll understand my words when you regret it in the future."
…
On top of Zhushan, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
After a few months of preaching, Shi Xuan had already covered the contents of Qi Channeling from body tempering and Qi cultivation.
Zhang Liu, Wan Chengfeng, and a dozen or so other Qi Channeling cultivators were gathered together. Their expressions were anxious and expectant, and they couldn't wait for Shi Xuan to come out immediately.
Wan Chengfeng took a few steps, but he still couldn't calm down. He could only smile wryly and say, "I wonder if senior will talk about the secret method of Qi Channeling to advance to the divine ability? Or should we start from the beginning? "
Zhang Liu was equally unsettled. "It's difficult. This is the key to establishing a small sect. Senior won't be so generous, right? He's only in the divine ability realm. Moreover, the most profitable part of the dao technique jade slips of the major trading companies is the secret method of Qi Channeling to advance to the divine ability realm. If senior teaches it publicly, it'll be cutting off their source of income and will definitely bring disaster upon themselves. After all, their backers are those Jindan Grandmaster. "
His words were reasonable, and the others couldn't help but nod in agreement. However, when they remembered that their sects urgently needed the secret method to advance to the divine ability realm, they became dejected again.
As they spoke, they saw Shi Xuan walk out of the bamboo hut and onto a large rock. They then sat down cross-legged and waited anxiously.
Shi Xuan looked at the cultivators below. Because they had already started cultivating, they each had a bit of luck added to their bodies. However, it wasn't much, and it wasn't much different from the cultivators of the four sects who had been taught the true methods. However, Shi Xuan calmed himself down. He could faintly feel that if he were to finish explaining these two inheritances, he would receive some unexpected benefits.
"Today, I'll talk about the method of Qi Channeling to advance to the divine ability realm," Shi Xuan said slowly.
Zhang Liu, Wan Chengfeng, and the others widened their eyes in surprise and delight.
The cold wind was biting cold, penetrating deep into the bones. However, the thousands of cultivators, beasts, and birds at the top of the mountain were completely silent. They didn't move at all as they listened attentively to Shi Xuan's lecture.
The bright moon set in the west, and the sun rose in the east. Shi Xuan stopped his lecture and said, "Today is the time for questions. If you have any questions, please get up and ask."
Zhang Liu, Wan Chengfeng, and the other Qi Channeling cultivators were listening to the most important part. They didn't expect Shi Xuan to stop just like that. They all scratched their ears and cheeks, their hearts itching. However, in front of the senior, they didn't dare to be disrespectful. If they weren't allowed to listen to the lecture tomorrow, it would be too late for regrets.
After Shi Xuan answered questions for half an hour, he saw a foreign cultivator who had been listening for many days stand up.
Zhao Xingfan bowed and said, "Senior, I have a question, but it has nothing to do with cultivation. I don't know if I should ask?"
"Go ahead." Shi Xuan nodded.
Zhao Xingfan repeated Sun Dong's words with a bitter expression, then said, "I know what he said is wrong, but I can't find the words to refute it. The path of cultivation is indeed as he said. Senior, please teach me how I should answer. "
Shi Xuan said lightly, "Shut up and cultivate. You can ask him again in twenty years."
"Ah." Zhao Xingfan didn't expect Shi Xuan to answer like this, so he could only do as he was told.
