The bottom of the wooden box was an apricot-yellow satin lining. On top of it was a jade slip with hidden cloud patterns. Next to it was a silk scroll.
Zhang Yu first picked up the silk scroll. Holding it by a corner, he shook it open and spread it out in front of him. From the handwriting, it could be seen that this was left behind by the head of Xuanfu, Fan Chun.
It was mentioned above that if past Profound Palace disciples were to study the path of "Body Imprint", as long as they had some achievements, the majority of them would first strengthen their foundations. Therefore, this "Origin Cultivation" seal was specially selected to be bestowed upon him, to help him strengthen his foundation and strengthen his foundations.
Below that was the method of reading the jade slip.
Although it didn't say much, it revealed quite a bit of information.
He pondered, "It seems that when Xuanfu cultivates its disciples, past experience is also very important."
This was completely different from the old cultivation method he had experienced.
His teacher had always emphasized that in the process of cultivation, everyone was unique and irreplaceable. The experience of predecessors wasn't suitable for everyone, so it was necessary to abandon the knowledge of predecessors as much as possible.
When it came to imparting techniques, it was to throw a set of mnemonics at you for you to comprehend. If you could comprehend it, then you passed. If you couldn't comprehend it, then you didn't have the talent or fate.
According to his teacher, these were only the most superficial techniques. If you couldn't even cultivate these, then there was no need to look at the more profound techniques.
It seemed that the new method wasn't without reason to replace the old one. At the very least, the threshold for entry was lowered, and the attitude towards disciples wasn't so casual.
However, there were two sides to every coin. The new method definitely had its own drawbacks. It couldn't be perfect.
He reached out and took the jade slip out of the wooden box. He felt a burst of coolness when he touched it. As he lightly brushed it, the cloud patterns inside seemed to come alive, producing slight ripples.
He looked at it for a moment, then called out in his mind. A golden screen of light rose up around him. On it, with the seal of "Self Preservation" as the center, the six seals formed a neat circle around it. The seal was red, and the seal script was square. It looked very pleasing to the eye.
He shifted his gaze and looked at the Body Imprint.
Before he even entered the garden, he felt as if he had entered a pool of warm water. After that, the other sensations came one after another.
Therefore, this was the seal that was closest to him in his search for that wisp of mystery. At this moment, as he focused his gaze on it, a strand of Divine Essence was reduced, and the seal glowed.
However, he didn't feel any changes at the moment. This was because the Six Orthodoxy Seal was a fundamental seal. It was only used to help him find the right direction in the Great Dao chapter. It couldn't directly bring him any benefits.
Compared to the Great Dao Chapter, the human body was truly too insignificant. It was as if he was facing the boundless void. If the Seal of Existence and Self was only a dot in the void, then the Seal of Body was the first path that opened up to the outside. If he wanted to continue expanding outwards, these two steps had to be taken, and they couldn't be omitted.
At this moment, he pressed the jade slip between his brows. In that instant, he suddenly felt a thought surge out from within, and he understood some principles for no reason. At the same time, on the outer edge of the "Body Seal", a seal appeared, and on it were the two words "Vitality Nurturing".
A slight cracking sound rang out, and fine cracks appeared on the jade slip. It then shattered into countless even small pieces that were like grains of sand and scattered on the table.
He didn't care about this and directly guided his Divine Essence into the Vitality Nurturing Seal. After a short while, he felt a relatively gentle force emerge out of thin air and wrap around him. It gradually seeped into his bones and internal organs, nourishing and harmonizing them. He guided this force to flow through his body according to the method passed to him by the will.
This force quickly disappeared, but it seemed to be just a seed that led to some kind of aura force that already existed in his body. Now, even if he didn't stimulate it, this force still existed, and it kept circulating along with his breathing.
When his mind returned to normal, he immediately experienced the benefits of this seal.
Some of the minor injuries in his daily activities originally needed to be healed through meditation, but now they were naturally healed. Not only that, but if he didn't take the initiative to stop the circulation of this aura, over time, the growth of his body would be slowed down, which also meant that his future aging would be delayed.
But it was obviously impossible to achieve immortality through this. After all, this was only the seal of the first chapter of the Great Dao.
In fact, his physique should have been strengthened along with it, but because of the long-term training of the old breathing method, his body had far surpassed that of ordinary people, and had long since reached the limit. Before he broke through, he couldn't improve any further.
He thought for a moment. From this seal, he could see that Xuanfu's current focus was to strengthen their foundation. Before reaching a certain level, they weren't prepared to teach them abilities and skills for battle.
From Xuanfu's point of view, this wasn't wrong, and it was also a very reasonable approach. And for those disciples who had just entered the sect, this rhythm was just right, but for him, it was somewhat insufficient.
It could be foreseen that this kind of step-by-step cultivation would have a long period of time where he could only passively wait. This was something he couldn't tolerate, and he also didn't want to wait so slowly for Xuanfu to arrange things.
He thought for a moment. Since he couldn't count on the Xuan Chapter for the time being, he might as well focus on the Jun Chapter.
Once he made up his mind, the originally dazzling golden light around him instantly withdrew, and the Great Dao was replaced by a gray brilliance, but this time, the Great Dao Jun Chapter was called out.
Zhang Yu glanced at it. Compared to the Xuan Chapter, the Jun Chapter was indeed far inferior in appearance. The incomplete mottled seal floated indeterminately, and the faintly discernible light seemed as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Although its appearance wasn't good, at this stage, in terms of skills and abilities, it undoubtedly brought him more help.
On the Jun Chapter, there was only the "Sword Control" seal left unread. He judged that Xuanfu wouldn't give him a new seal in the short term, so instead of keeping the remaining Divine Origin, he might as well convert it into his own fighting strength.
After making up his mind, he immediately focused his mind on this seal.
He originally thought that he would be able to gain something very quickly like the previous few times, but this time, there was an unexpected change in the situation.
Xuanfu's main hall of affairs. Although it was deep in the night outside, it was still brightly lit inside.
Xiang Chun sat alone behind a desk and read through documents. Xuanfu was huge, and there were all kinds of complicated affairs. Now, it was almost all up to him to deal with, and he was busy until very late every day.
After arranging the trivial matters, he picked up the document that Fan Lan had sent during the day and flipped through it. There were detailed records of the new students who had entered the sect recently, as well as Fan Lan's specific evaluation of these students.
There was a lot of analysis of Bai Qingqing, Zhang Yu, and the others in the document, but the rest of the people were covered in a few words.
Xiang Chun read carefully and nodded from time to time.
At this moment, the thick door was pushed open, and Xu Ying rushed in with large strides. There was a deep fatigue on his face, but he was unusually excited.
Xiang Chun looked up in surprise and said, "Junior Brother, you're back? So soon? "
Xu Ying walked directly to the desk and sat down on the chair opposite Xiang Chun as if he had lost all his strength. He looked up at the sky and said, "Senior Brother, I've brought him here. This time, in order to avoid people with ulterior motives, I didn't stop for a moment on the way."
Xiang Chun nodded and said, "Junior Brother, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard at all!"
Xu Ying shouted and straightened up. His eyes flashed with excitement as if he had found the meaning of life. He said, "Senior Brother, you should see him with your own eyes. That young man is unexpectedly outstanding."
"That young man from the Ji family?"
Xiang Chun chuckled and looked at the name list in his hand again. He flipped through it and said, "Since he's already here, there's no need to rush. Let him recuperate first. You should go and rest too. I still have something to do here, so I'll see him another day."
"Senior Brother!
Xu Ying snatched the booklet from his hand and tossed it aside. His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement as he said, "You don't understand. This young man is better than you think. In terms of natural talent, he might even surpass that traitor!"
Xiang Chun frowned, and there was a trace of displeasure on his face. However, when he heard this, he paused and looked up. "What makes you say that?"
Xu Ying looked at him and said, "Senior Brother, after Martial Nephew Ji planted my seal, all six seals were seen! All six seals were seen! "
"All six seals were seen?" Xiang Chun was also slightly moved, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "So what? Cultivation is not something that can be done in a day. Moreover, that traitor also had all six seals, so how much better can this young man from the Ji family be than him? Junior Brother, you're too anxious. This is not good. "
However, Xu Ying was still full of confidence. He stared at Xiang Chun and said, "If that was the case, I wouldn't have disturbed senior brother at this time. Senior brother, do you know that junior nephew Ji is not only born with six seals, but he is also born with abundant divine energy!"
Xiang Chun was truly shocked this time. He could not help but ask, "What did you say? Are you sure? "
A person's Divine Energy was limited at birth. After being guided, it would slowly accumulate. When one was born with abundant Divine Energy, it meant that one's Divine Energy was already in a good state without any guidance.
Such a situation was extremely rare. If all six seals were seen, it was even rarer in the world. Perhaps it was one of a kind!
Xu Ying said with certainty, "I'm sure!" He paused. "If you don't believe me, I'll bring him to see you right away!"
Xiang Chun's expression became serious.
When a cultivator had all six seals, it meant that he could use less Divine Energy than others to find the mystery and obtain the qualification to read the second chapter.
Moreover, if one's Divine Essence was full, that would be even more amazing. One simply did not need to accumulate Divine Essence over the years like other people; one only needed to follow the instructions of the Profound Palace and observe those seals. In this way, the chances of finding the profound principles would undoubtedly be much higher. Excluding the necessary buffering period, perhaps one would only need a few months, or even half a year's time to cross that threshold.
This was not the most important thing. Would such a person still have the same performance when reading the second chapter?
It was unimaginable!
Xiang Chun could not help but think, "Could it be that a shocking talent is going to appear in our Dong Court Xuanfu?"
Xu Ying said with determination, "Senior Brother, I've thought about it. We must try to protect such a talent. No matter what, we can't let that traitor find out."
Xiang Chun's expression darkened. "What are you trying to say?
Xu Ying said, "Ever since Senior Brother Chen's incident, I've been suspecting that traitor has spies in our Xuanfu. Senior Brother, don't tell me you didn't notice."
Xiang Chun did not say anything.
Xu Ying leaned forward and placed his hands on the table. He looked at Xiang Chun and said, "That's why we must find a way to cover for Martial Nephew Ji."
Xiang Chun looked up at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Xu Ying stood up and walked a few steps away. He raised his hand and pointed up. "I've thought about it before I came. I have an idea. I call it the 'Outstanding Forest Strategy'!"
"Outstanding Forest Strategy?" Xiang Chun thought for a moment and said, "Does it mean that the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind?"
"That's right!"
Xu Ying said, "What I mean is that since that traitor has his eyes on us, we'll give him a target. We can pick a few more outstanding disciples from Xuanfu and support them with all our might. We'll give them whatever they want and push them to the front. We'll use them to attract that traitor's attention. This way, Martial Nephew Ji can hide behind the scenes and accumulate strength!"
"We're going to use the entire forest to protect a single tree like him!"
Xiang Chun frowned and rejected the idea. "I don't agree. What you're doing is too unfair to those students! You're using them as pawns! "
Xu Ying insisted, "But this sacrifice is worth it!"
Xiang Chun shook his head again.
Xu Ying became irritated. He said, "Senior Brother, what are you hesitating for? What's the use of those students? It's been so many years. Has there really been a useful person among them? "
Xiang Chun said, "There are many talents this year …"
He picked up the booklet on the table again. "You can take a look at it. Junior Brother Fan Lan has already read it. There are a few good seeds among the students who entered this year. For example, this Bai Qingqing knows Xuanzhi and has good talent. He's a rare talent in the past twenty years. There's also that Zhang Yu who I mentioned last time. I believe that once they grow up, they'll surpass our generation."
Xu Ying grabbed the booklet and flipped through it a few times. After he finished reading it, he faced the sky and let out a carefree laugh as he joyfully said: "The Heavens are helping my Profound Palace." He flung the booklet, "Senior Brother, these two are indeed rare talents. With these two blocking the way, Martial Nephew Ji will be safe."
Xiang Chun said angrily, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? You're just messing around! "
"But we don't have much time!"
Xu Ying suddenly calmed down. "Senior Brother, you should know that the four marquises are getting stronger and stronger. We can't help Teacher at all. How many more years do you want to wait? Ten years? Or twenty? Can we wait? I know you want to talk about the Turbidity Tide receding. Tianxia? But what if Tianxia was destroyed long ago? "
At this point, he looked at the silent Xiang Chun and said firmly, "It's fine if you don't agree. I'll go find Teacher and let him decide this matter."
With that, he turned and walked out.
"Wait."
Xu Ying stopped in his tracks. A faint light appeared on his body. He said without turning back, "Senior Brother, are you trying to stop me?"
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."
Xu Ying immediately turned around, and the light in his eyes disappeared. He joyfully said, "Senior brother?"
Xiang Chun sighed. "What can I do if I don't agree? Can I stop you? When have you ever changed your mind? " He walked out from behind the desk and headed outside. "Come with me. Teacher entrusted this matter to us because he trusts us. Let's not let the old man laugh at us anymore."
