Chapter 22

Looking at Ye Zhangqing with a smile on his face, Hong Zun felt he had somewhat underestimated this kid's talent.

But he didn't think much of it, smiling as he asked a question.

"Having reached the completion of the Body Tempering Realm, you kid want to go to the Martial Arts Hall to select a Qi-sensing cultivation method?"

Faced with Hong Zun's question, Ye Zhangqing did not hide anything, after all there was nothing to hide.

"The disciple indeed has this intention."

"Don't go, as a Menial Disciple you wouldn't get any good cultivation methods even if you went; I'll directly pass one to you."

With Ye Zhangqing's status, going to the Martial Arts Hall would at most get him the most basic ordinary Qi-sensing cultivation method, which is useless.

And the Qi-sensing cultivation method transmitted by Hong Zun is surely countless times better than the basic method from the Martial Arts Hall; the two cannot even be compared.

Speaking, without waiting for Ye Zhangqing's reply, Hong Zun casually pointed, and a strand of Línglì directly entered Ye Zhangqing's mind.

In an instant, a cultivation method named the Clear Heart Technique appeared in Ye Zhangqing's mind.

The grades of cultivation methods are divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, each grade further divided into upper, middle, and lower three levels.

And the Clear Heart Technique that Hong Zun transmitted to me is actually a middle-tier Heaven-grade Qi-sensing cultivation method.

Not only does it make it easier to sense the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, with its special circulation method it can even clear the meridians and even enable one to comprehend one's state of mind.

Such a perfect cultivation method, Ye Zhangqing looked at Hong Zun in disbelief, never expecting him to pass it on so easily.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's gaze, Hong Zun seemed to guess what he was thinking and smiled indifferently.

"Don't overthink it; just cultivate it well, and if you have any questions, ask me."

Having begun to assault the Qi-sensing Realm, Ye Zhangqing now can truly be said to have stepped onto the path of cultivation; afterwards, Ye Zhangqing indeed asked Hong Zun many questions.

And in this process, Hong Zun also discovered that Ye Zhangqing's comprehension is excellent.

As for theoretical knowledge, I only need to say it once and Ye Zhangqing can basically remember it.

Although compared to Lu Youyou and other Inner Disciples there may still be some gap, at the very least he has reached the Heavenly tier level.

"How can this kid's comprehension be so high?"

He was also secretly surprised; with such comprehension, becoming an Outer Door Disciple should be no problem, so why is he a Menial Disciple?

And soon Hong Zun discovered where the problem lay.

The theoretical knowledge is quite good, but when it comes to actual cultivation, it's completely another matter.

Stumbling along, even a single technique required Hong Zun to personally demonstrate it many times.

He confirmed that this kid's comprehension is not bad, but his talent and foundation are still too weak.

However, seeing those delicious foods, Hong Zun reluctantly showed patience, bit by bit imparting the Clear Heart Technique to Ye Zhangqing for study.

The Peak Master's personal guidance, and moreover one-on-one, such treatment would probably make even Inner Disciples envious.

As for the effect, it's also obvious; after two Shíchén, Ye Zhangqing can be said to have mastered the Clear Heart Technique.

"From now on it's up to you to cultivate; the master leads you to the door, but cultivation depends on the individual."

Just bringing Ye Zhangqing to the door has already exhausted Hong Zun.

As for how far Ye Zhangqing can cultivate the Clear Heart Technique in the future, that depends on his own abilities.

However, according to Hong Zun's estimate, reaching minor accomplishment is probably the limit.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded in agreement, not feeling discouraged, saw that the time was about right, and began preparing lunch.

Talking about eating, Hong Zun immediately became energetic, and without realizing it, he had actually stayed here with this kid for an entire morning.

There's no way; this kid is sometimes too impatient, and when he gets anxious, he unconsciously forgets the time.

"No, at lunch I have to eat two more bowls."

At noon it's still stir-fried meat and mapo tofu, no new dishes, because temporarily there are no ingredients; we have to wait until this afternoon when Qian Youcai delivers them.

Yesterday the praise for mapo tofu also reached 100, and the system rewarded a new dish: braised pork trotters.

After Qian Youcai delivers in the afternoon, we can start making it; as for noon, we'll just make do with a meal.

But as the lunchtime mealtime arrived, the number of people coming left Ye Zhangqing stunned—good grief, it directly exceeded a thousand.

As the mealtime approached, Ye Zhangqing was still cooking in the kitchen, while Hong Zun was alone in the courtyard.

Faintly hearing a series of footsteps, the number was clearly not small; extending his divine sense outward, Hong Zun was momentarily stunned.

Yesterday there were only two hundred people; today how did it suddenly jump to over a thousand?

With a flash, Hong Zun was the first to stand before the big table, then Xiao Bai, and after that a crowd rushed in through the courtyard gate.

"Holy crap, why are there so many people today?"

"I don't know, even Outer Door Disciples and Inner Disciples have come."

"Did someone leak the news? Who the hell can't keep their mouth shut?"

"I remember that Li Dazui came to eat yesterday."

"It's definitely this guy; his mouth just can't keep anything in."

Li Dazui is quite famous among the Menial Disciples of Divine Sword Peak, because his mouth is practically unheard of; whatever he knows basically spreads throughout Divine Sword Peak by the next day.

The Menial Disciples cursed angrily, while the Outer Door Disciples and Inner Disciples were each extremely curious.

"Is it really as delicious as the legend says?"

"It probably won't be bad; look at how excited these Menial Disciples are."

Many disciples crowded together; at this moment, the tardy Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou three saw this scene and were also stunned—today there are just too many people.

However, it was only a moment, and this time Xu Jie was the first to regain his composure.

"Senior sisters, if we rush with our movement techniques and martial skills, we might not get to eat."

Yesterday, if the speed slowed, it just meant no extra meal; but today there are over a thousand people—if the speed slows now, we might not even get any soup.

After the words fell, Xu Jie was the first to move.

Hidden Spirit Step.

Falling Flower Body Technique.

The three's figures instantly accelerated, quickly rushing through the crowd and entering the courtyard.

Feeling as if a wind blew past beside them, the menial disciples had not yet reacted, but the few inner door disciples' faces changed and they said.

Body technique martial skill?

So fast, I couldn't see clearly.

Still worrying about this, these guys are using body technique martial skill to seize positions.

Someone reacted; just now that was someone again using body technique martial skill to seize positions. Instantly, many outer door disciples and inner door disciples followed suit, displaying their body technique martial skill.

Good buddy, almost got my chicken stolen by them.

Charge past.

Damn, who the hell kicked me, not observing martial ethics, right?

As everyone displayed body technique martial skill, for a moment the courtyard gate descended into chaos; someone not only displayed body technique martial skill, but even launched a sneak attack.

All just to be able to seize a more forward position; as for the courtyard, Hong Zun, Xiao Bai, Xu Jie and the others who had already occupied the top five spots each stood with eyes on nose, nose on heart, just waiting to eat, with no intention to pay attention.
