Early in the morning, the sun slowly peeked out. The originally gray sky instantly turned red, and more than half of the sky was dyed light red.
Lu Sheng stood in the crowd and visualized the image of the rising sun according to the technique. It faintly overlapped with the scene in reality.
This was a very difficult process, because the speed of the visualization and the rising of the sun completely overlapped.
During this process, he slowly adjusted his breathing, kept visualizing, and absorbed the so-called purple qi.
But Lu Sheng understood the secret, so he naturally wouldn't be so inflexible.
He followed the sequence of the technique and separated a trace of essence qi of the same quality as the others, and merged it into the lake of essence qi above his head.
Then, a trace of visualized golden thread rose up, and he controlled it to unscrupulously absorb the essence qi of the people around him.
Compared to him, the others seemed to be visualizing according to the rules of the Lesser Sect's cultivation method. They didn't know the key points. Even Cheng Kongzi's golden thread couldn't compete with Lu Sheng. He only managed to absorb a little bit of Spiritual Essence, while the rest was absorbed by Lu Sheng.
The golden thread flew back to the top of Lu Sheng's head and disappeared.
"Hiss …"
He let out a long breath, and immediately felt a pure and cool essence qi quickly condense in his body, and began to slowly circulate in his blood vessels.
It wasn't the meridians, but the blood vessels.
"Single Rising Sun Qigong … Just like that?" Lu Sheng opened his eyes and felt a faint difference in his body.
When the essence qi circulated, it gave him an inexplicable feeling of coolness in his spirit.
"This essence qi can actually nourish the spirit?" Lu Sheng was quite surprised.
After the morning class, everyone went to eat lunch. Zhong Yuan was still chattering non-stop, and Zhang Kairong was always shamelessly talking to Zhong Yuan. Chen Fengnan looked disappointed, as if the progress wasn't going well.
Lu Sheng sat to the side and ate quietly. Now that he had absorbed most of the essence qi, his body actually felt inexplicably full, and he felt full after eating only a few bowls of food.
"Brother Lu, what do you want? I'll go get some rice and bring it back for you?" Zhong Yuan stood up and asked, pretending that nothing had happened.
Lu Sheng put down the bowl and looked at her.
"No need, I'm full."
"Alright, what about you two? What do you want? I'll go with you. " Zhong Yuan's family was well-off, and she didn't put on airs. She was a kind person, so they didn't stand on ceremony with her.
The other two could also tell that she had a good impression of Lu Sheng.
In fact, Lu Sheng's facial features could only be considered above average. His temperament was cold and stern, and his body was strong. In addition, he had learned martial arts from a master, so his skills were extraordinary. It was only natural that Zhong Yuan had a good impression of him.
However, the two of them cursed silently in their hearts. Zhong Yuan woke up early every day to wake Lu Sheng up. She would also inform Lu Sheng immediately if anything happened. But after so long, more than a month, the other party still did not respond at all.
After dinner, when they were walking back from the cafeteria, they bumped into Wang Yunlong, who had just come out of his residence.
The gloomy man was whispering something to a steward of the sect. Standing outside his wooden hut, his expression changed as if he was hesitating.
"A Meridian Opening disciple … I heard that he's a freak who can sense Qi in a day!" Zhang Kairong said with slight jealousy.
"You can't compare yourself to others. There's already a huge gap between us." Zhong Yuan shook her head. "Let's go, everyone."
The few of them went back to their own residences. Only Lu Sheng stood in front of his wooden hut. He looked up at the faint golden barrier in the sky, deep in thought.
He had a rough understanding of the cultivation method. Next, he should try out higher-level cultivation methods to see if there were any other special features.
What kind of attitude and method should he use to integrate into the Great Yin? This was something he had to consider.
The rules here were crueler than those in the Great Song. If he wasn't careful, he might be swallowed whole. The reason why the sects here accepted ordinary people was obviously to gather enough Essence Qi. If he went up one level at a time, the amount of Spiritual Essence obtained by those at the top was unimaginable!
'However, since the True Qi here is formed by absorbing other people's Spiritual Essence, and it can connect to the mind, can it be the same as Yin-attribute Inner Qi? Can it replace Mental Energy to increase my cultivation?'
Lu Sheng tried to open the Modifier. He still had some Mental Energy, but not much True Qi. Based on the feeling he got when he used Aquarius Qi to replace Mental Energy, he channeled all his True Qi to replace Aquarius Qi into the Modifier in front of his chest before the Modifier reacted.
As long as he was quick, with Lu Sheng's current level of control, he would be able to channel his True Qi into the mysterious chest cavity first.
He was modifying an ordinary Outer Technique that he had memorized before. In the span of a few breaths, the frame blurred for a moment, then quickly became clear again.
Lu Sheng glanced at the displayed content.
'It worked … it worked.' It was within his expectations. True Qi was indeed Yin-attribute Inner Qi. It could completely replace Mental Energy to modify martial arts.
The True Qi he just absorbed was completely used up. There wasn't a shred left, but Lu Sheng wasn't worried. He just found it strange.
'If the nature of this True Qi is to nourish an individual with the power of the masses, then the population should be the key to the Great Yin. The Great Yin and the Great Song are so different in terms of national power. Why didn't the Great Yin invade the Great Song? '
He had nothing to do in the afternoon. The Single Morning Sun Technique had to be cultivated in the morning, so he went to the library. He flipped through the books he was authorized to read.
He quickly found the answer.
Different from the Great Song's Devil Disaster … the Great Yin also had a Devil Disaster. And it was on a much larger scale.
The Four Pillars of the Devil World, the Devil Emperor — these words kept appearing in the books, announcing to everyone who wanted to know the truth that the Great Yin was constantly in the flames of war.
The Great Song was only facing a Devil Lord, but the Great Yin was facing a Devil Emperor.
Lu Sheng was shocked, and continued reading. The books were filled with records of the continuous battles against the Devil Emperor Vera.
There were three battlefields between the Great Yin and the Devil World. These three battlefields continuously drained the Great Yin's national power, and also restrained the Devil Emperor Vera's power, preventing him from contaminating the human world.
The Great Yin, under the control of a Weapon Grandmaster, and the Devil World's Devil Emperor Army had both victories and defeats. They had been locked in a stalemate for nearly a thousand years.
'Looks like the Great Song is a way for the Devil World to invade the human world from the side.' Lu Sheng understood a little.
He continued reading, but didn't find any other useful information. When he left the library, it was already evening.
As Lu Sheng thought about this, he slowly walked along the path back.
The Dao Palace at night was like a black lantern with many holes. Scattered yellow light shone through the gaps between the buildings.
The night wind blew gently, and he could faintly hear the sounds of people training in the forest. The smell of barbecue wafted over from afar.
Lu Sheng sniffed, and missed the barbecue he had back on Earth. He quickened his pace, and looked slightly tired like the other disciples who came out of the library. He didn't show any signs of fatigue.
However, he bumped into Wang Yunlong, who had just approached. This gloomy young man also saw Lu Sheng, but neither of them said anything.
Wang Yunlong never liked Lu Sheng. This person in front of him didn't seem to care about him. His eyes clearly glanced at him, but it was like he was glancing at a rock.
However, Lu Sheng didn't offend him, so he couldn't say anything. Plus, they were neighbors.
The two of them walked past each other without saying anything.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng successfully developed his Qi sense and became an inner sect disciple. The disciples who came to take the test weren't surprised. The disciples in this area all had the potential and talent.
When they moved, the others all passed the Qi sense test within three days. Only Chen Fengnan didn't develop any Qi sense. He watched the others move with disappointment. Zhong Yuan wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say. Zhang Kairong went up to give her a shoulder playfully, but was pushed away. The two of them started to fight again.
Lu Sheng looked at the two of them quietly, his face expressionless.
After careful observation these few days, he realized that the faint golden shield above his head seemed to have another function. It wasn't just absorbing Essence Qi. It seemed to have extremely complicated symbols within it.
Presumably, after successfully becoming an inner sect disciple, he would be able to see more information.
The three of them moved to a courtyard deeper in the Dao Palace. There were many courtyards of the same size around them, and all three of them lived in the same area.
After that, it was another morning lesson. However, the location was changed, and the number of people participating was lower. There were only a few dozen people. There were a few locations for the morning lesson. One of them was in a hall that looked like an alchemy room. In the middle of the hall, there was a bonfire burning vigorously. A man called Fei Kongzi became their new instructor.
This time, the dozens of people were all talented. They emitted more Essence Qi, but the competition was also more intense.
Golden lines continuously rose into the air and danced around, colliding with each other. Some shattered and became smaller, while some swallowed and became bigger.
Zhong Yuan and Zhang Kairong had a hard time. There were many people here who were more talented than them. If they weren't careful, they would end up with nothing. Instead, they would lose some Essence Qi.
Lu Sheng didn't swallow randomly this time. He pretended to be one of the strongest golden lines and guarded himself, occasionally swallowing some Essence Qi.
The second technique was also taught. It was called the Four Square Origin Technique.
Different from the Single Morning Sun Technique, this technique could be cultivated at any time, day or night. Then, they opened the Fighting Pavilion, which taught how to fight. There were also books and Walls of Shadows for all kinds of techniques.
Lu Sheng went there once and didn't go again. To him, those techniques were all the same.
After the morning lesson, as an inner sect disciple, they had a chance to choose a direction to cultivate. Lu Sheng had basically all the information and achieved his goal. He didn't plan on staying in the Spring Sun Sect anymore.
He packed his belongings and prepared to leave after a while. But what he didn't expect was that two strangers suddenly came to him. They immediately contacted Lu Sheng, who was cultivating in his room, through the disciples of the sect.
"Something happened to Wu Quansheng?"
Lu Sheng wasn't surprised at how they found him. When he became an inner sect disciple, his name list was hung in front of all the branches of the Spring Sun Sect. That was probably how these two found him.
He frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him. These two used to be strong young men, but now their right legs and feet were broken and they were limping.
"Eldest Young Master … Eldest Young Master was taken away by the Lin Family!!" one of them howled with a sob.
"Young Master Lu, Eldest Young Master's last words were for us to find you, but … on the way here, we were stopped multiple times … the old madam is also sick in bed …" The other person's eyes were also red.
"Wu Quansheng … did he tell them my name?" Lu Sheng didn't even look up as he said flatly.
Although he was only acquainted with Wu Quansheng, he had a good impression of this young man who was eager for justice. If it wasn't a big deal, he didn't mind helping him out.
"He did … they said, they're waiting …" one of the men paused, then said fiercely.
Lu Sheng nodded.
He was just worried that he didn't have an excuse to take over his territory. Now, the opportunity came to him. It also served as a reminder to the higher-ups of the Spring Sun Sect about his "talent."
He planned to show off his "unparalleled talent" and use his True Qi to kill people. Then, after attracting the attention of the higher-ups of the Spring Sun Sect, they'd choose him as the First Disciple and send him to a higher-level sect. That way, he'd be able to learn more about the secrets of the martial arts system here.
He heard that the popular candidate for the First Disciple position was the grandson of the Spring Sun Grand Elder, but he couldn't do anything about it. He had no choice but to apologize.
He didn't have the time to slowly gain experience at the bottom of the sect.
As for whether or not this Grand Elder would get in his way, Lu Sheng wasn't worried. If he got in his way, he'd just kill him.
