Chapter 215: Chapter 116 Refining Internals and Continuing Breakthroughs (Request for Monthly Tickets)_3

The gap is too vast, it’s impossible to even entertain comparisons.

Xu Qing is destined to shine brightly in history, like a star that emits light for an eternity.

Elder Dan Xi thought to himself, perhaps in the future, he could also, like "Confucius taught by Teacher Tantuo, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang...", leave his own mark in historical records.

Here, ’teacher’ means to consult and learn, not a formal discipleship.

He doesn’t have the stature to truly claim himself as a teacher.

Xu Qing released the girl’s tender wrist and smiled at Elder Dan Xi: "Elder Dan Xi, thanks to your guidance in medical principles, I was able to grasp the key to Hua Realm Refining Internal so quickly."

"I didn’t do much, you would have realized it sooner or later anyway. No need for thanks. How about I become your disciple instead, and you tell me the secrets of Refining Internal?" Elder Dan Xi asked, a thirst for knowledge apparent in his expression.

Xu Qing smiled gently: "No need, I’ll just tell you if Elder Dan Xi wants to know."

He did not cling to his knowledge selfishly.

It was a good opportunity to see if his comprehension was missing anything.

The way of Cultivation is inherently about embracing strengths from various sources.

The Xuantian Visualization Method was too crucial, hence Xu Qing retained some reservations.

The same was true for the bronze mirror.

There are things one does and things one does not.

He had his own limits.

He, Feng Wu, and Elder Dan Xi went inside a house, and Xu Qing started discussing his experiences in Refining Internal and his understanding of Cultivation concepts.

Elder Dan Xi stroked his beard and said: "These principles you talk about are actually common knowledge. The divergence between Martial Arts and Daoist Skill at the spiritual and corporeal juncture results from predecessors finding it too challenging to have both fish and bear’s paw and making a choice.

A truly wise person can resolve this issue and doesn’t need to stick rigidly to past scholars’ frameworks. However, most people, lacking this great wisdom to unravel it, follow the established systems which actually benefit their own Cultivation."

He continued to speak eloquently.

Elder Dan Xi, being a distinguished doctor, could immediately understand and have insights after Xu Qing articulated his process and experiences in Refining Internal.

"So the medical principles are actually the enlightenment of our predecessors after their Refining Internal experiences. Having never practiced it, I only knew the facts but not the reasons. But this medical principle is actually incorrect. Because this predecessor did not practice Refining Internal, he concocted this theory, which although somewhat accurately guessed, fundamentally misses the mark, adhering to it strictly can lead to fatal errors at times..."

Elder Dan Xi grew more and more animated.

Feng Wu quietly listened from the side.

It was a rare learning opportunity.

Since her master’s death, no one had elucidated the principles of Cultivation this clearly to her.

Even her understanding of the Annihilation Scripture reached a new level.

The essence of Annihilation Dao is similar to the Confucian principle of "preserving heavenly principles and annihilation human desires."

Annihilation does not mean being utterly heartless but removing the fog of emotion to directly grasp the essence of Dao.

Just as Confucianism aims to control excessive desires, not to eliminate desires altogether.

Previously, she used "forgetting oneself in the worldly society" to grasp "Annihilation Scripture," the direction was correct but not detailed enough.

The cultivation of Annihilation Dao first involves stirring emotions, exactly requiring an established understanding of "emotion", as Confucianism stated "knowledge of things."

Practice is the criteria for testing truth and Dao.

Xu Qing also reaped considerable rewards.

Having already practiced, he now needed theoretical support to refine his cultivation system.

Elder Dan Xi, truly a master theorist, had a structured theory.

Xu Qing’s current Realm is sufficient to discard the dross and keep the essence, his own comprehensions are not disturbed by Elder Dan Xi.

Unnoticed, they talked until it was nearly evening.

Initially, Elder Dan Xi was the primary speaker, but later Xu Qing took a proactive role, with Feng Wu chiming in throughout.

Each of them gained substantially.

Xu Qing couldn’t help but think, the essence of the Mount Hua Duel is actually in the "discussions." Competing is secondary; it is the discussions that spark Grandmaster-level wisdom among top martial artists.

As these thoughts occurred to him, he suddenly felt an intuition, and with a thought, his body performed Shadow Shifting, moving to the courtyard door, swinging his sleeve, the door pin silently dropped, and he opened the gate.

"Master Fayue, what brings you here?" Xu Qing curiously asked.

Fayue stepped into the courtyard with Xu Qing and shared his purpose.

It turned out that Yan Kong had received a challenge for a wager fight from Gu Wuji, knowing the latter came with ill intentions and was a Refining Internal Master, he was worried about Xu Qing in Yingtian Prefecture being caught unawares, hence especially sent Fayue as a precaution.

Understanding the reasons, Xu Qing asked, "Whose man is Gu Wuji?"

"In haste, I only found out that he’s a master from the North, he’s been challenging and undefeated through more than a dozen sects from North to South, hence his significant notoriety."

Fayue paused, continuing, "This person bullies the weak and fears the strong; from North to South, he did not challenge the Great Zen Temple but rather picked on the Golden Ray Monastery."

"How confident is your master about this wager fight?"

"Master said, focus on preparing for your provincial examination, don’t worry about him. Just be cautious of this man, as Gu Wuji is still in Yingtian."

"Where is he staying now?"

"He sent a challenge notice, my master saw the notice and immediately sent me here. I’m not sure where this person currently is."

Xu Qing nodded, whispered his residential address in Yingtian Prefecture to Fayue, asking him to find Su Lianqing to check and then come to serve as a bodyguard for Feng Wu for a couple of days. Since Yan Kong was confident, it should be fine for Fayue to temporarily stay in Yingtian Prefecture.

Fayue took his leave immediately.

Returning to the house, Feng Wu asked, "What’s the matter?"

Xu Qing smiled, "A Refining Internal Master from the North wants to test Grandmaster Yan Kong’s Great Vajra Palm, the date is set after my provincial examination, we’ll go and watch for fun."

Feng Wu didn’t ask further, suspecting the situation wasn’t so simple, but considering her current condition wasn’t good, she decided not to meddle unnecessarily,

"After supper, I’ll teach you Heavenly Net Hand, you learn fast anyway."

"No rush, I need to return to Jiangning Prefecture tonight, will be back the day after tomorrow. Just stay here comfortably for these few days."

"Alright then, be careful."

"Don’t worry."

Xu Qing wasn’t going back to find Yan Kong, he planned to return to the Wutong Courtyard, using the Yin Energy and Moonlight of the Old Wutong Tree to regulate his Yin Yang and then attempt to reach the Divine Soul "Manifestation" Realm.

He wanted to strike while the iron is hot and continue breaking through!
