Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2318 - 1628: Foundation Establishment
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
When the disciples saw Yun Ruoxue again, she seemed much better, with a hint of excitement and happiness on her face. It looked like the teacher had helped her resolve her physical issues.
At the same time, a trace of envy arose in their hearts. Although they weren’t entirely sure of her qualifications, her performance had shown signs that she was anything but ordinary. Now that her chronic condition was gone, she would perhaps soon display her outstanding talents!
Many disciples also realized through this incident that the teacher giving lectures might have a realm higher than they imagined.
After all, Yun Ruoxue’s condition looked quite severe, but this teacher could solve it in such a short time, showing his extraordinary abilities.
Thinking of this, a touch of excitement appeared on their faces. The higher the level of the teaching teacher, the more profound the lecture content would be, and their gains would naturally be more substantial.
Some disciples who were quick-thinking decided to perform well, hoping for rewards and gifts like today’s in the future.
Perhaps for this teacher, it’s just a lift of a hand, but for them, it would bring great help to their cultivation!
"Hmm?"
Li Zhirui noticed Li Chenyang, Zhang Que, and Hu Yuan, who were still immersed in cultivation, the moment he lifted the restriction.
From the looks of it, they should be able to successfully cultivate and step into the Qi Cultivation Stage!
Sure enough.
It wasn’t long before Li Chenyang first refined a strand of mana into his dantian, becoming the first of this generation of disciples to break through to the Qi Cultivation Stage.
After a while, Zhang Que also successfully broke through.
However, Hu Yuan’s breakthrough process was not as smooth as the other two. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, his face turned pale, giving the impression of impending failure, causing other disciples to worry for him.
Fortunately, in the end, he managed to refine the first strand of mana and barely stepped onto the path of cultivation.
Although he was the last among the three to succeed and his cultivation process was not very smooth, he still managed to break through.
As one of the only three Qi Cultivation Practitioners among his peers, Hu Yuan also received envious glances from the other disciples.
Li Zhirui didn’t comment on this, but in his heart, he shook his head at Hu Yuan’s eagerness for quick success.
It’s just the Qi Cultivation Stage. Does it make a big difference to succeed a few days earlier or later? He’s not an elder with waning vitality, there’s no need to be so impatient.
He should even be thankful that this was just the first strand of mana for breaking through Qi Cultivation Stage. Even if it was forcefully refined, the impact on the dantian wouldn’t be too great.
But if he were already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and behaved so recklessly, forcefully pushing the realm, he would have either been ruined or dead!
Therefore, Li Zhirui had a low impression of Hu Yuan, and in a somewhat indifferent tone, he said, "After returning, don’t rush your cultivation. Wait until you’ve adapted for a night, and then try practicing absorbing spiritual energy tomorrow."
"If absorbing spiritual energy doesn’t go smoothly, you can first perform a set of basic body strengthening exercises."
"As for the other disciples, you can also try cultivating after returning, but remember not to act recklessly. Otherwise, if the meridians are damaged, not only will it delay your cultivation, but it may also leave hidden dangers, becoming obstacles to future cultivation."
With that, Li Zhirui vanished into thin air.
From his words, some clever and perceptive individuals seemed to understand something. Although he didn’t directly name anyone, it wasn’t hard to grasp whom the teacher was referring to.
Thus, subtle glances brushed over Hu Yuan.
However, there wasn’t the slightest change on his face, nor did he respond to others’ gazes.
He had his own reasons and would not be swayed by others’ words. Hu Yuan rose first and walked out, his expression unchanged.
"It’s about time. We should leave too, or we’ll miss the Spirit Boat," Zhang Que said to Li Chenyang and Yun Ruoxue.
The voice wasn’t loud, but many disciples heard it, reminding them they needed to catch the Spirit Boat. They quickly stood up and hurried out of the lecture hall.
Once back on Qingmiao Peak after riding the Spirit Boat, all disciples couldn’t wait to return to their quarters and begin attempting cultivation as per Li Zhirui’s advice.
However, Li Chenyang, Zhang Que, and Yun Ruoxue gathered as usual, discussing what they learned today.
Time flew by unnoticed.
When they finished, Zhang Que suggested, "We are soon to officially become cultivators, and cultivation will take up a lot of time. It’s not very suitable to have discussions every day."
"But canceling them altogether doesn’t seem right either. So let’s set a new time. What do you two think?"
Yun Ruoxue’s eyes lit up. She hadn’t expected Zhang Que to even consider this aspect, and she said, "Junior Brother Zhang makes a good point. I think discussing the accumulated questions every three days should be quite suitable."
"I think that’s a good idea too," Li Chenyang agreed.
If Zhang Que hadn’t brought it up, he would have suggested it himself.
...
The night passed without anything notable.
The next day during the lecture, Li Zhirui noticed many disciples were listless, and some even nodded off. He immediately realized they had tried cultivating late into the night before resting.
As for the results...
They weren’t entirely unfruitful, but the gains were very few.
"In matters of cultivation, haste makes waste!"
After saying that, he casually crushed a Pill, summoning a gentle breeze to blow through the lecture hall, instantly dispelling the crowd’s fatigue.
