Such Things Will Be Very Common in the Future
Lu Qianqian only simply flipped through the Yijin Classic and determined that this cultivation art seemed easy to understand but was unfathomably deep and profound. It was definitely a genuine divine-grade cultivation art!
The sect leader created this?
She absolutely did not believe that a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm could create a divine-grade cultivation art. After all, this was too shocking!
Lu Qianqian did not manage to get to the bottom of this because the sect leader definitely had some hidden problems he did not mention, so he did not want to tell the truth. Hence, she hurriedly returned to her lodgings and started to analyze the Yijin Classic meticulously.
Li Qingyang also returned to his room to study this cultivation art.
The two of them started studying the Yijin Classic at roughly the same time. As time flowed, they sometimes fell silent, and at other times, there were wild looks of joy on their faces. Their expressions kept changing every second.
"This Yijin Classic is overwhelmingly stronger than the Tranquil Heart Art I've trained in before. It can completely replace the Tranquil Heart Art!
"Father, back then, the choice your son made by rejecting the Azure Mountain Sect and joining the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect was a truly intelligent one!"
Li Qingyang could determine that the fifth-grade Azure Mountain Sect definitely would not have such a wondrous cultivation art.
"Hu!"
After drawing a deep breath and allowing his heart state to calm down, he began to cultivate based on the oracular formula.
The Yijin Classic secret manual exchanged from the system had the advantage of being extremely profound but easy to understand. Given Li Qingyang's aptitude, he circulated his qi according to the classic and started clearing some minor cycles and major cycles, entering a state of cultivation.
Lu Qianqian was even quicker. She had already circulated her qi and cleared many cycles, growing increasingly happy the more she cultivated.
"This cultivation art helps with body-tempering. It has no conflict with my Supreme Mystic Iceheart Art and can be cultivated together!
"Why would the sect leader have a divine-grade cultivation art? In addition, the cultivation art is also an extremely rare type that allows one to refine their body. Could it be… the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is truly an ancient sect that has declined?"
A divine-grade cultivation art was as rare as phoenix feathers and Kirin horns in the Fallen Star Continent. They only existed in beyond first-grade sects. She did not feel that Jun Changxiao had randomly picked it up or bought it. Hence, the only possibility left was that this Yijin Classic had been passed down from ancient times to him.
"Seems like I've underestimated the Iron Bones Clang Clan Sect and also underestimated the sect leader."
Lu Qianqian clenched her dainty fists as her beautiful eyes flashed with killing intent. She gritted her teeth. "With a divine-grade cultivation art, maybe there's hope for my revenge!"
…
Both the eldest and second disciple were focusing on cultivating the Yijin Classic.
But for Sect Leader Jun, he paced around his bedroom and spoke with a crumbling voice on the verge of a breakdown. "I've studied it for one hour, but there's no reaction. Is this Yijin Classic an inferior fake version?"
"Host, your spirit root quality is too low. Even if you understood the Yijin Classic, you would find it harder to cultivate this compared to others."
"You mean that without the system, I'm not even worth a fart?"
The system maintained its silence for a long time. "Host, your comprehension ability is very special, but… you can put it like that."
"Ah, ah!" Jun Changxiao clutched his head and roared. "First, Lu Qianqian gave me a psychological blow. Now, even the system is doing the same. Do you guys still want me to live?"
This can't be allowed. This can't be allowed.
This daddy is going to go all out against the Yijin Classic.
If he could not succeed after an hour, he would spend a day. If he could not succeed after spending a day, he would spend a year. If he still could not succeed after a year, he would spend his entire lifetime!
He did not believe that he would not be able to cultivate it if he did not depend on external aid!
Jun Changxiao's temper rose. He sat on the bed and began to study it. This period lasted an entire night. Only at dawn did he lie down on his bed. He was tired but happy. "I finally managed to circulate one major and one minor cycle…"
However, completing a cycle did not mean anything. One had to form a perpetual loop in terms of their circulation of qi.
Next, he handed the sect matters to Li Qingyang and began focusing completely on his cultivation.
Hard work would never let anyone down.
Two days later, Jun Changxiao finally grew proficient in the Yijin Classic. As long as he calmed his heart down, he would be able to effortlessly circulate a cycle and form a perpetual loop.
Ding!
"Congratulations for completing the hidden mission [Heaven Rewards the Diligent]. Reward: Ten contribution points!
"Congratulations for completing the hidden mission [Diligence Makes Up for a Lack of Natural Talent]. Reward: Ten contribution points!
"Congratulations for completing the hidden mission [Standing on One's Own Feet]. Reward: Ten contribution points!"
Ding!
"Sect Contribution Points: 50/100."
Seeing that he had gained thirty contribution points, Jun Changxiao shook his head. "Seems like the system doesn't want me to depend on it too much. This is why there are so many of such hidden missions.
"It's just that… there was [Ridding Evil for the People] earlier, and [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] now, followed by [Diligence Makes Up for a Lack of Natural Talent]… Could it be that the hidden missions all have a connection to
…
The Yijin Classic was a body-tempering art, but it could also train the heart state.
After cultivating for a day, Jin Changxiao discovered that the absorption speed of spirit qi was actually much faster compared to the Tranquil Heart Art.
"As expected, a divine-grade cultivation art is still better.
"Based on this speed, even someone with a mortal-grade aptitude would most probably be able to accumulate enough spirit energy to make a breakthrough!"
After Jun Changxiao discovered the benefits, he became even more focused in his cultivation.
He could succeed with his mortal-grade aptitude through hard work. This meant that for disciples with the same mortal-grade aptitude as him, they naturally would be able to succeed too.
Low-grade talent disciples were always cases of tragedy. With the difference of each grade, it could be likened to there being one mountain separating the disciple from the source of spirit qi. They had to cultivate assiduously for seven to eight days before they could barely comprehend something.
Ten days later, all the disciples of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect managed to achieve a basic comprehension of the Yijin Classic.
During this period of time, Li Qingyang did not do much in managing the sect because all his junior siblings were engrossed in cultivation to the point they would even miss their meals.
"Junior brother, how is your comprehension now?"
"Senior brother, it's still okay. I've already accumulated enough spirit energy to try for a breakthrough."
"Hahaha, me too!"
"Our sect's unique cultivation art is truly powerful. If it was before this, I would've needed two to three months before I could accumulate enough spirit energy to attempt a breakthrough. But now, I only need three to five days!"
After their cultivation, the disciples gathered together and discussed the Yijing Classic.
If they knew that this cultivation art also had the effect of increasing their success rate in breaking through, they would surely have been so agitated that they would start jumping around.
In the following days, more and more disciples began to try for a breakthrough.
"I… I succeeded just like that?"
A disciple at the fourth stage of the meridian opening realm sat cross-legged on his bed and sensed the movement of spirit qi in his body, which cleared his meridians with ease. The expression on his face gradually froze.
His talent was at the mortal-grade, and he had been stuck at the third stage of the Meridian Opening Realm for a year. He had attempted to break through many times, but all of those attempts had ended in failure. This time around, he only attempted once after cultivating the Yijin Classic, and his obstructed meridians were cleared just like that!
The disciple silently vowed that he did not even put in any effort, but the obstruction in his meridians, which was like a sturdy wall, collapsed explosively with relative ease!
"Hahaha!
"I did it… I actually did it!"
He laughed crazily as he shouted. Tears could be seen in his eyes.
This situation repeated itself in the rooms in the inner court. Of all the sect's disciples, regardless of their low-grade or high-grade talent, a much higher percentage of the disciples managed to breakthrough compared to before as long as they depended on Yijin Classic to gather the spirit energy needed.
The next day, Li Qingyang stood in the hall and reported to Jun Changxiao.
"From the second stage to the third stage Meridian Opening Realm, nine succeeded, eight failed.
"From the third stage to the fourth stage Meridian Opening Realm, five succeeded, six failed.
"From the fourth stage to the fifth stage Meridian Opening Realm, one succeeded, one failed.
After he finished the report, he drew in a deep breath, and the shock and disbelief in his heart gradually calmed down.
Li Qingyang, who had been living in his clan before, knew how difficult it was to achieve a breakthrough in the Meridian Opening Realm. For example, if there were even three to five people who succeeded in their breakthroughs in his clan within a year, it was a cause for celebration.
But now?
Just yesterday, there were thirty disciples attempting a breakthrough.
The number was extremely terrifying. Li Qingyang did not expect, nor did he even dare to imagine, that what was even more terrifying was that fifteen out of the thirty disciples who attempted a breakthrough actually succeeded!
Jun Changxiao touched his chin. "Still passable."
"Still… passable?" Li Qingyang's lips twitched violently. "Sect leader, there are over ten disciples who succeeded in making a breakthrough on the same day. This matter is a universally shocking one!"
"Qingyang." Jun Changxiao walked over and patted his shoulder. "Such things will be very common in the future. As the second disciple, you should learn to adapt as soon as possible."
Looking at the departing back of the sect leader, Li Qingyang fell into a daze. "Such things will be a common occurrence in the future?"
