Chapter 38

The woman who came in had a pair of extremely bright and clear eyes, from which it seemed that one could see a world full of vitality, full of enthusiasm, and full of intensity!

Her eyebrows were like swords, her nose was like a hanging peak, and her lips were so tender that they seemed to drip water. At the slightly opened corners of her mouth, a little tongue tip could be vaguely seen.

This woman did not wear powder, her hair was casually coiled, and she was pinned with a hairpin. The style of her clothes was also very strange. The lower body looked like trousers and skirts, the trouser legs unfolded like skirt hems, and the upper body was a tight-fitting top, with sleeves just past the elbows. Compared with the common female cultivator costumes at present, this set of clothes was quite rebellious.

She came to the lecture platform, sat down gracefully, her body tilted slightly backward, and supported her chin with her hand. Just sitting like that, naturally there were ten thousand kinds of amorous feelings, but in the amorous feelings, there seemed to be the coldness of ten thousand years of frost.

She glanced at the students sideways and said, "From today on, I will teach you Dao Foundation Theory and guide your cultivation. My surname is Ji, Ji Liuli, the Liuli of being displaced, not the Liuli of gemstones."

Immediately, a girl stood up boldly and asked, "But the courseware clearly says that the teaching lecturer is Xu Henshui, why was it suddenly changed?"

Ji Liuli said lightly, "Don't think about him anymore, he has already been thrown outside the mountain gate by me, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so you can give up this heart, and honestly take my class!"

The students looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The feeling this woman gave people was very strange. When she smiled, it was like spring flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields, but when she put on a straight face, it was like lead clouds hanging low, and the heavenly tribulation was about to arrive. For those students with high spiritual perception, facing her was like facing an ancient beast of the wilderness, instinctively trembling constantly, unable to even speak.

Wei Yuan had learned poetry, fu, and songs, and there were countless words to describe beautiful women, but he felt that none of them could be used on Ji Liuli. But to say she was not beautiful, none of the female cultivators Wei Yuan had seen since entering the Primordial Palace could be called beautiful in front of her.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Liuli was very satisfied and said, "Since there are no questions, let's start class. You can call me teacher, sir, or you can call me Master Sister Liuli, Master Sister Two Zhang Five, whatever you want. Now put the matter of address aside, let's talk about what a Dao Foundation is."

Master Sister Two Zhang Five, what kind of ghost is this? Wei Yuan and other students had not yet had time to be puzzled, and when they heard that they were going to talk about Dao Foundation, they all sat up straight and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing something.

How to define a Dao Foundation has long been a public opinion in the immortal cultivation world. After tens of thousands of years, it has long been refined to perfection, and not a single word can be added or subtracted. Wei Yuan had just passed the definition of Dao Foundation in his heart, when he heard Ji Liuli say, "Simply put, a Dao Foundation is raising an immortal embryo, and then piling a bunch of messy things on it, and when it can't be piled anymore, hammer it solid and melt it into one, this is a Dao Foundation. This is the first stepping stone on the path to immortality, and also the most important one. All achievements in the future will be built on this cornerstone, so it is called a Dao Foundation."

"What are those messy things, you should have all memorized them. Who will answer?"

A young boy gathered his courage to stand up and said loudly, "Root bone, Qi-fortune, timing, earth Qi, trends, accumulation, medicine and vessels."

"Very good, knowing what these messy things are is just the first step, how to match them is the second step. Two people with the same conditions, different matching methods, different sequences, the Dao Foundation forged will be worlds apart. So this first step is actually the most important step on the path of immortal cultivation. Immortal sects and mortal sects, famous teachers and mediocre hands, bring you completely different Dao Foundations. This is why I came to teach you this course. Hmph, it's fine if your own Dao Foundation is just flowers and plants, but you still want to lead others astray?"

Another girl stood up boldly and said, "Sir, this is not fair, right? How did I hear that Master Xu is also very good at fighting?"

Ji Liuli's long fingers flicked lightly, and the girl flew into the air, and then a vine whip appeared in the air, brushing and whipping on the little girl's butt!

After the whip, the shackles were released, and the girl fell back into her seat. But as soon as her butt touched the chair, she immediately bounced up, not daring to sit down. The girl's clothes were intact, without even a wrinkle. It seems that the whip just now was painful, but there was no harm.

Ji Liuli said, "Whether you can fight depends on who you compare with. You have all seen that he is like a little cat in my hands, and you still ask like this. So this whip is to punish you for having eyes but not seeing!"

Wei Yuan thought about it and stood up boldly, asking, "There are thousands of Dao Foundations, is it all judged by whether they can fight or not?"

"Otherwise?" Ji Liuli asked back, and then said, "Since there are thousands of Dao Foundations, naturally they must be divided into high and low. There is no other standard for dividing high and low, that is whether they can fight or not. Either they can fight when the Dao Foundation is formed, if not, it's fine if they can fight when the Dharma Form is formed, and if not, it's fine if they can fight when the Imperial Scenery is formed. In any case, they can't be unable to fight after reaching Return to Oneness, right? Then what use are you? Standing on the immortal mountain as a decoration? Those cultivators who look like immortals but are soft when they move their hands, even if they reach Return to Oneness, they are just waste that wastes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

The students were dumbfounded again. This remark was simply shocking, and had no respect for the great powers and true immortals of the Return to Oneness realm. That is a true immortal!

Ji Liuli said again, "Having said that, if you can't fight, do you think you can reach Return to Oneness? If you can't fight, you will all fall halfway through your cultivation! You just need to remember one point, the world today is a world of great contention. You must fight to live, fight to cultivate, fight to break through, everything must be fought for!"

After saying that, Ji Liuli said to Wei Yuan, "You are Wei Yuan, right? I remember you. Others have received the founder's grace, but you have received the grace of the stone under the founder's feet."

There was a burst of laughter in Qisi Hall, and Wei Yuan's little face was also a little hot.

The young boys and girls were laughing happily, but Ji Liuli flicked her fingers, and most of the young boys and girls floated into the air, and then each of them took a whip. In the sound of crackling, only five people were left in the entire Qisi Hall who didn't get whipped.

"No matter what kind of founder's grace it is, it is grace. Those who have received the founder's grace can laugh, but you who have no grace are also embarrassed to laugh? This whip is to let you have some self-knowledge."

After a round of whips, most of the students were grinning with pain. However, these children were at least not delicate, and they knew that they were not really injured, and the pain was actually an illusion, so they endured it, so there was not a single one crying in the whole class.

What made Wei Yuan a little strange was that most of his classmates were from high-ranking families, and he had seen many arrogant ones during the unified examination. How did they become so obedient and polite in Qisi Hall?

He hadn't figured out this question yet, when Ji Liuli's voice sounded again:

"There are more than 150 people in your batch, and only 37 are sitting here. Where are the other 100 people? Let me tell you, they are all learning with their respective teachers and are not participating in concentrated teaching. These people are the Zhigu Sect, and you, whether you like it or not, are now considered people of the Dingxin Sect. Three years later, in the sect's small examination, you will compete with them to see which side learns better. There are 21 people who have received the founder's grace on that side. So from today on, my task is to give you the most capable Dao Foundation, and your task is to kill all those 21 people three years later!"

The students were all competitive, and they were suddenly full of blood. Many people even forgot the pain on their butts. Immediately, a boy stood up enduring the pain and said loudly, "Is it true that you must not be able to do it without the founder's grace?"

Ji Liuli said approvingly, "Good question! In fact, having the founder's grace is equivalent to running a short distance ahead on the long path to immortality. If you only look at three years, it is a bit difficult to catch up. But if you look at the long term, whether there is grace or not is actually about the same. Even within three years, many ordinary disciples eventually surpassed those who received grace. There are many such examples."

The path to immortality is long, and three years is just a snap of the fingers. All the students in Qisi Hall who had not received grace were refreshed and full of fighting spirit again.

"However, don't think that it's over after passing the sect's small examination. There is a Myriad Phenomena Hall in the palace, which records all the Dao Foundations that have appeared in the past. When you forge a Dao Foundation, you will also leave a record in the Myriad Phenomena Hall. At that time, where your own Dao Foundation is ranked will be clear at a glance! What this means, I don't need to say, right?"

Master Sister's words immediately made a group of students ambitious, and some secretly frightened. This is equivalent to giving a list to all the Primordial Palace disciples for thousands of years. Everyone is on the list. If this is ranked behind, how can you see people?

Ji Liuli said again, "The Myriad Phenomena Hall is just the beginning. Ten years later, the sect's grand examination, all Dao Foundation disciples must participate, and Body Forging completion must also participate. That is your first grand examination, and there will be an official ranking. After the grand examination, the next is the Merit List, and all Primordial Palace cultivators will be ranked according to the merits they have established. In addition to the total list, there is a separate small list for the Dao Foundation realm."

The students looked at each other, feeling that the road ahead was long and full of assessments and rankings. Immediately, some people showed embarrassment.

Their reaction was naturally in Ji Liuli's expectation. She sneered, "Although the Primordial Palace is large, there are only so many resources, and it is not enough to divide. So who gets more and who gets less, these lists are the basis! I know that some of you have prominent family backgrounds and feel that you can't get resources in the palace, and your family can also subsidize. But why does your family give you resources?"

"You are at least six years old, and the oldest is only eight or nine years old. What if you have more younger brothers and sisters in a few years, and some of them have better talent than you? Will the family still give you so many resources?"

The faces of several gatekeeper children turned pale.

"So! Cherish every lesson you have under my hands! As long as you are ruthless enough to yourself, I can make you stronger! No matter what list this is, you must fight against the current!"

A group of students was full of blood again.

Next, Ji Liuli began to explain in detail the various basic knowledge of Body Forging. Her speaking speed was extremely fast, and her speech was quite concise. Wei Yuan only felt that his brain couldn't keep up now, and he tried his best to remember, and unknowingly it was time for class to end.

After three chimes, the class ended, and Ji Liuli said, "Wei Yuan, don't leave yet, follow me to the Council Hall."
