Indeed, the Government Office is a good place for cultivation.

After his careful inquiry, he finally understood the true background of Li Wendding, who is said to be a descendant of the Wudang Dragon Gate Sect.

The origin of this Dragon Gate Sect is the Quanzhen Dragon Gate Sect, and its founder is the Chongyang True Master.

In fact, the True Gang Sect is also a branch of Quanzhen Dao; if it wasn’t for the incompleteness of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill practiced by Gu Wuji, he might not have been defeated by the old Monk Yan Kong.

In terms of heritage, during the heyday of Quanzhen Dao, it was known as the orthodox school of the Mysterious Sect and the number one great teaching in the world.

Not to mention the founder Chongyang True Master, even each of his seven disciples was a prominent figure. Chongyang True Master was even a distinguished guest in both the Jīn and Měng dynasties.

However, after Chongyang True Master’s passing, Quanzhen Dao quickly declined.

In fact, there were signs before that.

Because the seven disciples of Quanzhen had already split up early and each had their own Dao lineage.

The strength of the Great Zen Temple lies in its long heritage, and it has never had any major splits, preserving its absolute skills intact.

It has always been the Taishan Beidou of the worldly society and deliberately lowered its status in the religious world.

After all, the struggle within the religion is too cruel and intense, and it also provokes apprehension from the Court.

Quanzhen Dao went too deep in this aspect and made a significant blunder.

During this time, Xu Qing has managed to connect the third Hidden Vein of the Seven Azure Dragon Constellations, the "Di Vein", which represents the forelimbs of the Azure Dragon, symbolizing stability and strength.

There are a total of thirteen Star Official Acupoints.

After Xu Qing connected them, he clearly felt that his Xuantian Visualization Method had improved further, and his Divine Soul Power had increased.

However, the further he goes, the harder it is to improve the Divine Soul and Martial Arts.

Xu Qing can still continue to make progress because he is in the golden period of physical development.

In fact, this is almost the same as the effect of successfully unraveling the mysteries of birth for those reincarnated as a Ghost Immortal.

In the previous dynasty, powerful reincarnated Ghost Immortals even achieved the status of Martial Saint at the age of fifteen.

But as a result, they gave up the cultivation of the Divine Soul and directly integrated spirit with body.

As for Xu Qing, he can’t even touch the threshold of Martial Arts Grandmaster, let alone the Martial Saint that is above the Grandmaster level.

Through his cultivation journey, he has summarized five major levels of Martial Arts Cultivation.

Muscle Training, Skin Training, Bone Training, Internal Training, Marrow Cleansing.

Above Marrow Cleansing is the Martial Saint.

It belongs to the myths of the worldly society.

Muscle Training, Skin Training, and Bone Training are not independent levels. It’s just that Muscle Training is easier to master than Skin Training, and Skin Training is easier than Bone Training.

By the time one reaches Bone Training, their skills in Muscle Training and Skin Training must be deep.

But those with extraordinary talents are naturally strong and tough, and without deliberate training, they are already rather formidable; with a bit of hard Qigong, their muscles and skeletons easily surpass that of ordinary Martial Artists.

Therefore, Kung Fu indeed demands the most in terms of talent.

Only after Internal Training can Martial Artists with less innate talent gradually catch up with those with exceptional talents at the same level.

But the difference is that you work hard to score 80, while others go from 80 to 90 or 95.

"Regardless, it is only after Internal Training and Marrow Cleansing that one truly undergoes a complete transformation. I haven’t yet reached the upper levels of Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, so it’s too early to talk about Marrow Cleansing."

Xu Qing is very clear that ordinary Martial Artists who understand the profound mysteries of "Bone Training" can already be considered as distinguished.

But at this level, the gap can also be huge.

Powerful individuals like King Lin, even without Internal Training, can still contend with ordinary Internal Martial Artists.

The weaker ones may not even be able to defeat talented Muscle and Skin Trainers.

Internal Training is truly the starting point of transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood in Martial Arts.

At this step, Martial Arts can truly be considered sophisticated.

"To establish oneself in the sea of suffering in the mortal world, one cannot lack either Divine Soul or Martial Arts. Although I, relying on the Old Wutong Tree, have entered the realm of ’Yin Yang Coordination’, and can temporarily dual cultivate at the levels of Internal Training and Manifestation, my progress in Martial Arts is incomparable to those Martial Artists who have integrated spirit and body at the same level. After all, my ’Yin Yang Coordination’ was stumbled upon by accident and is too rudimentary."

After acquiring the portrait of the Quanzhen True Master Chongyang from Quanzhen Dao, Xu Qing took advantage of his leisure time in Yingtian Prefecture to study the lineage of Quanzhen Dao in detail.

Among them, Purple Mansion Primordial Sect by the southern ancestor of Quanzhen Dao, Ziyang True Master, contains profound insights into the Yin Yang Dao. Unfortunately, this Cultivation Technique has long been lost.

However, according to Xu Qing’s deductions, this "Purple Mansion Primordial Sect" might have been obtained by the Xuantian Taoist. The problem is, Xu Qing did not find this item in the cave on Qixia Mountain.

"Perhaps the Xuantian Taoist has other secret storages," Xu Qing thought to himself.

He is currently not concerned with matters of Cultivation, but has instead come to meet with his father-in-law at the Imperial Censor’s Government Office.

"I just received news that the Court has decreed the Minister of Rites Mr. Liang to leave the Capital to review the incident between you and the scholars in Jiangning Prefecture."

"It seems to be of high importance."

Feng Xifeng slowly said, "When I was in the Capital, I knew Mr. Liang well for being a moderate; he does not offend people easily. His visit this time probably carries an intention to mediate. However, I have also received information that the Grand Secretary’s intention is that the scholars of Jiangning Prefecture are either deceiving the emperor or sincerely petitioning for land surveys. It looks like you have passed this hurdle."

He is not a core disciple of the Grand Secretary, nor does he like to refer to the "Prime Minister" as a statement of respect and to appear close to the Grand Secretary, like other people do.

In fact, that also reflects Feng Xifeng’s principles. He follows the Reform Faction not for opportunism, but to get things done, without personal dependence.

He advocates focusing on the cause rather than the person and only recognizes the concept.

If other people reform and help the world, he supports them just the same.
