Chapter 7, Lesson 1

They are master and servant

Liu, who is ten years old, was quite surprised and asked Jing Jiu, "Young Master, how did the immortal master arrive? I didn't see him pass us on the way."

Master Lü said: "What if other sects come to abduct people?"

Liu, aged ten, responded somewhat nervously: "I am Liu, ten years old"

Master Lü's voice was not loud, yet it clearly resonated in the ears of each disciple

The man in the gray robe said, "We are all from the same sect, it is not to that extent"

Listening to Master Lü's words, dozens of disciples turned to look at Jing Jiu and the other person, their faces filled with curiosity

He turned his head and saw a scene that left him momentarily stunned

So cute

Yet the sound of tea falling into the cup remains as clear as ever, like that of a spring.

The clouds and mist rise again, and the thatched cottages appear to be both visible and hidden. Upon closer inspection, one can see that each cottage is separated by a courtyard wall.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look and discovered that the young man in white actually had prominent ears, gazing at ... ...

It is heard that the reason is that the master is waiting for a disciple.

Master Lü said: "I just want to be cautious; otherwise, what if the news reaches the three sides and they come to seize people?"

Especially those female disciples, looking at that handsome face, for some reason felt a bit flushed, turned away, and gently fanned their cheeks with their hands.

Jing Jiu took the teacup, drank it all, and handed it back.

Master Lü furrowed his brow as he recalled the words spoken to him by Father Liu that night

Finally hearing the true path of cultivation, the expressions of the young disciples became extremely serious, their gazes fixed on the written words in the thin booklet, not missing a single word from their teacher.

How was that face created

It is evident that the immortal master holds this disciple in high regard, as so many people are made to wait and their time wasted

After completing the registration of Liu's ten-year-old information, he looked at Jing Jiu and asked, "What about you?"

Do not say ten years old; you can even call it ten thousand years old if you wish

For countless years, who has dared to act recklessly in the Qing Shan Sect

The clouds and mist have dissipated early, yet the wind carries sufficient moisture. The mountain path is also quite gentle, making the journey through it rather pleasant

Here is the Sword Hall of the Qingshan Sect's Nansong Pavilion, where newly admitted disciples will live and study for a long time

Master Lü sighed and spoke without avoiding Jing Jiu.

Just as a child, after learning to walk, will never think of crawling again, a cultivator who has mastered sword flight will no longer wish to walk

Master Lü stood on the stone steps and said, "We are just waiting for the two of you, hurry and take your places."

What is meant by embracing the divine? The Huai Ji states: Embrace the divine with tranquility, and one's form will naturally be rectified

The sword hall became very quiet

Jing Jiu understood this principle, while Liu Shi Sui could not fathom it at all

Ming Guo Xing gently stroked his chest, exchanged a smile with him, and finally felt at ease

The sound of the round fan creating a breeze is quite clear in front of the quiet sword hall

Master Lü gestured for Jing Jiu and Liu Shijiu to step forward and said: "This is my sect's Southern Gate's registered immortal master Ming Guoxing. Before you enter the inner gate, you must address him as 'Shishu' (Master Uncle)"

Master Lü gestured for his disciples to open the thin booklet and said: "The teachings of the Qing Shan Sect are fundamentally simple, and the initial stage is divided into two phases, the first being the phase of having form."

Master Lü was taken aback upon seeing Jing Jiu, and after a moment of astonishment, he exclaimed in admiration: "What a beautiful girl, as if carved from ice and jade! Brother Lü, you truly have an extraordinary encounter today"

Do not mention those sects of cultivation, for it is of no use to those who come from Chaoge City; even the Immortal Forest and the Curtain Roller dare not step here even once

Initially, he was not satisfied with this name, but now he has long since become accustomed to it and even somewhat likes it

At the age of ten, Liu carefully put away the teapot and teacups, then took out a round fan from the package and began to fan Jing Jiu.

Liu, who was ten years old, hurriedly called out: "Master Uncle Ming."

This stage can be described as an extension of the realm of ritual, or as the first leap of the practitioner. At this stage, the practitioner's will becomes incredibly resolute, naturally sensing the spiritual energy in the universe. The seed of the Dao gradually grows, the meridians begin to form, and one can absorb the spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth, transforming it into true essence. This is akin to nurturing the spirit of man with the spirit of heaven, until the sea of spirit is filled, at which point one can say that the realm is initially established. As for what constitutes completeness, that depends on your sword courage

Upon hearing this, some disciples raised their heads, their faces revealing expressions of hope and longing

What truly displeased him was seeing Liu Shisui, the genius in his eyes, being so readily commanded by others

The young man gazed at a solitary peak in the distance and replied casually

Ming Guo Xing anxiously shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come in!"

They are all newly admitted outer disciples of Qingshan, and they are unable to perceive Liu Shijiu's talent through the sword's awareness, so their gaze naturally falls on Jing Jiu ahead.

This scene is truly magical, whether it is Liu at the age of ten or those young disciples, all are in great awe.

Jing Jiu, a person from Chaoge

Ming Guoxing was in a state of excitement, not paying attention to his rudeness, and even offered a few gentle words of encouragement. He then turned to Liu Shisui, preparing to engage in a conversation with this naturally gifted individual.

Master Lü stepped forward and tapped on the table

Ming Guo smiled broadly and said

Dozens of young boys and girls stood on the flat ground in front of the Sword Hall, all dressed in the same style of blue garments

A sudden, uncontrolled low murmur of exclamation arose among the crowd, which then transformed into excited discussions, buzzing like the sound of a swarm of bees

"Brother Lü, what has happened?"

"The innate Dao seed actually serves as a servant to humans?" Ming Xingguo was utterly shocked, looking at Master Lü and saying, "No matter what their previous relationship was, once they enter the mountain gate, worldly matters become meaningless. Haven't you told them this?"

That esteemed master, following the advice, turned to look at Liu Shisui, and saw that the child had a fresh demeanor and steady eyes, which made him nod in agreement, thinking to himself that indeed, it was quite remarkable

Under the guidance of Master Lü, Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui positioned themselves properly at the back of the line

Ming Guo Xing picked up the brush, dipped it in the inkstone, opened the book, and asked Liu Shisui, "What is your name?"

What is meant by having a form? The Nan Hua Dao Zang states: "The physical body preserves the spirit, and each has its own form; this is referred to as nature"

The sunlight suddenly descended, dispersing the mist, revealing the true form of the building, which was a structure with black eaves and blue walls, exuding a sense of solemnity.

The demeanor is indeed extraordinary, one cannot help but think that this is a noble scion from the capital.

This is the introductory mantra, and you should study it diligently

Is it merely an empty shell? What I choose is the small one

The sun has risen to its zenith, the clouds and mist have long dissipated, and the light is intense, creating a certain warmth

A male disciple suddenly said: "Don't you think his ears are quite strange?"

At the age of ten, Liu surveyed the surrounding cliffs with a curious expression on her small face, feeling both nervous and excited.

Upon arriving at Yaping, the paths began to multiply. Liu, at the age of ten, was unsure of how to proceed and looked towards Jing Jiu.

The tea poured from the pot has long since cooled, without spilling any hot mist.

The youths who are willing to enter the mountains to cultivate their path naturally focus wholeheartedly on their pursuit of the Way. With the guidance of their mentors, they quietly maintain their resolve and no longer pay attention to Jing Jiu, nor do they engage in discussions about him

Returning from the external to the internal, when the time comes for the realm of ritual to be perfected, the Dao seeds within you will be sufficiently stable to withstand the turmoil of the heart's turbulence, allowing them to thrive and grow robustly, entering the second realm of embracing the divine

The Sword Hall was filled with an atmosphere of "finally arrived".

What you need to do is to master the foundational techniques, strengthen your body, refine your will, and maintain proper posture. Only in this way can you achieve a connection between the two, ensuring continuity from beginning to end

A young disciple from LeLang County, while being captivated by the realms described by the immortal master, suddenly heard some noise coming from beside him

Liu, at the age of ten, was pouring tea for Jing Jiu to drink

On the mountain path, a young man in white leads the way, while a little boy follows closely behind, carrying his luggage.

As they walked past the green trees, they caught sight of a building faintly visible in the mist.

Jing Jiu lifted his foot and walked in that direction, while Liu Shisui hurried to catch up

Once you enter the mountain gate, you become a disciple of the Qing Shan Sect, and no one shall take that away from you.

The man in the gray robe laughed and said, "Senior brother, your words are quite exaggerated. I would like to see what kind of genius you have found that makes you so anxious."

Master Lü entered the stone gate with Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui

Yet not a single disciple complained of the heat, listening intently to the teachings of the master, as if they were oblivious to it.

Towering trees are found everywhere between the cliffs, interspersed with dozens of thatched cottages

Upon entering the mountain gate, there is no longer any concern about leaving traces that might attract other sects to seize disciples. Master Lü only needs to summon his flying sword, and in a moment's time, he can arrive here

Master Lü said with a smile, "Not bad"

He has never seen such a lazy person

Ming Guo Xing Wei paused for a moment and said, "A name is not an age"

How is this person so good-looking

Master Lü lightly waved his sleeve, and dozens of thin volumes flew out from the sword hall, scattering like falling leaves, landing precisely in the hands of each disciple

Liu, with wide-open eyes at the age of ten, said: "This is my name, is that not allowed?"

Whether influenced by him or evoking even more distant memories, Jing Jiu's gaze lingered a little longer on the surrounding scenery

These disciples are all exceptional talents personally selected by the immortal masters of the Qing Shan Sect, and they are confident that they will surely embark on the path to greatness. In light of this situation, there is naturally a curiosity towards the new disciple, while at the same time, there is an inevitable sense of resistance.

A young girl gazed at Jing Jiu and said dreamily

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but squint his eyes at that extraordinarily beautiful face, clicking his tongue twice in his heart.

Master Lü felt somewhat helpless. On the first day, he explained the matter clearly, but Jing Jiu said nothing, while Liu Shisui refused to listen no matter what was said.

With such emotions, I quickly walked over ten miles of mountain paths and arrived at a cliff platform halfway up the mountain.

When he recognized the sword, he was taken aback, so tense that his voice began to tremble

Unexpectedly, Liu Shisui did not even glance at him and walked towards the mountain gate, for Jing Jiu had already made his move

Master Lü coughed twice

Behind the cliff, there is the sound of water, clear and pleasant to the ear, likely from a spring. Additionally, a melody gradually rises, harmonizing with the sound of the water, further enhancing the ethereal quality.

These disciples come from various parts of the mainland and have been at Nansong Pavilion for some time, yet they have not been taught any immortal techniques or swordsmanship, which has made them somewhat anxious.

There are many practitioners of the Dao in the world, each sect has its own unique methods, and the divisions of realms vary; fundamentally, there is no difference. What you are to learn now is the foundational method of the initial realm

The man in the gray robe woke up, rubbed his sore eyes, and was very pleased to see Lu Shi. However, upon noticing the wet mud on his front and shoes, he was taken aback

After a short journey of three days, his impression of Jing Jiu grew increasingly negative, and he even felt a tinge of regret

Seeing this scene, Ming Xingguo was quite surprised and said, "What is going on here?"

Innate Dao Seed
