Chapter 40

The next few days of courses were Tang History, Heaven and Earth Theory, Qi-fortune Theory, and Art Theory in turn.

Tang History doesn't need to be said. Heaven and Earth Theory and Qi-fortune Theory are actually cultivation classes. Heaven and Earth Theory talks about the operation of time and the geography of mountains and rivers, as well as how to absorb the essence of heaven and earth more effectively in response to environmental changes during cultivation, and speed up cultivation.

The first lesson of Heaven and Earth Theory was conducted on the mountain outside Qisi Hall. After the teacher taught the principles, the students found the best place to practice by themselves. This best place had no fixed answer. Each student's root bone quality was different, and the Dao path they would take in the future was also different, so everyone had their own best cultivation place.

Little Wei Yuan found that the higher he was, the faster his cultivation speed, so he finally chose the top of the mountain. It was just that he was one step late, and this place had already been occupied by Behind Bao Yun and Xiao Yu.

Seeing Little Wei Yuan, Behind Bao Yun greeted him, took Little Wei Yuan's hand, and said affectionately, "Wei Junior Brother is also here, let's practice together!"

Her hands were cold, slippery, and soft as if without bones. Little Wei Yuan felt indescribably awkward holding them, and wanted to let go, but Behind Bao Yun grabbed them tightly in return. Etiquette told Little Wei Yuan that it was very impolite to shake her off at this time, and it was easy to be criticized, so he could only endure it.

Little Wei Yuan walked a distance with her, and Behind Bao Yun suddenly stumbled, as if about to fall.

Little Wei Yuan hurriedly went to support her, but his foot lifted, and his whole body flew up, inexplicably falling from the top of the mountain, rolling down the slope for more than ten zhang before stopping.

Behind Bao Yun ran over, helped Little Wei Yuan up, and said anxiously, "Junior Brother, are you okay? Did you fall anywhere? Oh my, how can you be so careless!"

Little Wei Yuan didn't know whether it was because he was careless or because of something else that he fell. Facing Behind Bao Yun's kindness, he couldn't refuse, so he let her help him up.

Behind Bao Yun helped Little Wei Yuan find a flat place nearby to sit down. Little Wei Yuan unexpectedly found that the cultivation here was only a line slower than the top of the mountain, so he didn't pick anymore. Behind Bao Yun gave a few more instructions, telling him to take good care of himself, and then returned to the top of the mountain.

Thus, the first lesson of Heaven and Earth Theory passed like this.

Qi-fortune Theory only began to rise in the last three hundred years and is the youngest course. A thousand years ago, those who could get Qi-fortune were very rare, and they could often achieve great magical powers. So such people were cultivated with all their strength by all sects once they appeared. If they were in the secular court, they would be founding heroes or middle-rejuvenation ministers.

Those who can have the great fortune of the times are called children of Qi-fortune. Once they appear, even the immortal sects high above will join the competition, which will trigger countless conspiracies and bloody struggles.

Over generations, people with Qi-fortune have been relatively stable overall, sometimes more, sometimes less. But since four hundred years ago, the Qi-fortune of heaven and earth suddenly increased rapidly, people with Qi-fortune emerged in batches, and children of Qi-fortune also appeared frequently.

In the next few hundred years, the overall Qi-fortune is still constantly increasing, and there are more and more people with Qi-fortune. Many people, if placed a thousand years ago, would be figures cultivated with all the strength of the sect, but now they can only get more attention from the sect and more resources.

In the Dao test, those whose Qi-fortune can reach one zhang are definitely children of Qi-fortune and the light of the human race in the past. But now, the Primordial Palace alone has six people with one zhang of Qi-fortune in Little Wei Yuan's batch, two of whom have not even been listed in the palace's key cultivation list because their root bones are not good. If it were a thousand years ago, let alone slightly worse root bones, even if they were waste, they could be piled into geniuses with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

With the increase of Qi-fortune, research and cultivation methods for Qi-fortune have also begun to appear constantly. Today, there are many mature systems for borrowing Qi-fortune to cultivate. Moreover, Qi-fortune is no longer just referring to personal Qi-fortune, but is subdivided into four aspects: heaven and earth great fortune, time fortune, feng shui, and human fortune, covering many subjects such as astrology, feng shui, and geomancy, becoming a very important part of cultivation.

The so-called children of Qi-fortune all refer to those with the great fortune of the era. The great fortune of heaven and earth is too magnificent to be borne by the human body. Heaven and earth have not changed for thousands of years, let alone one or two children of Qi-fortune, even the ups and downs of the entire human race are just a small wave in the rolling torrent, and even if they are completely extinct, it will not affect heaven and earth at all.

With the increase of Qi-fortune, the effect of Qi-fortune is not as good as before, but there is a fundamental difference between having it and not having it. So some high-ranking families have painstakingly developed Qi-fortune shifting methods, which can take the fortune of others and add it to their own children. Since then, having Qi-fortune is sometimes not a good thing. On the one hand, you have to look for opportunities, and on the other hand, you can't be discovered by aristocratic families, otherwise you might make a wedding dress for others.

After doing this kind of thing a lot, people discovered that reincarnation is also a great fortune.

The final Art Theory refers to various arts used in the process of cultivation, not only Dao arts, but also medicine, artifact refining, pills, talismans, witchcraft, and poison. In addition to the divine Dao arts, the Primordial Palace also has the Heavenly Work Hall famous for artifact refining, the Creation View with pill inheritance, and the Xuanming Hall with medical skills, so the course focuses a lot on the two paths of pills and artifacts, and witchcraft and poison are just taught roughly.

The Body Forging stage is mainly based on cultivation, so when arranging the curriculum, all the contents that are not so important at this stage are put into Art Theory.

In this way, seven days passed, and the course finally finished a round. On the eighth and ninth days, it returned to the two courses of General History of the Human Race and Immortal Path Common Sense.

However, the Immortal Path Common Sense on the ninth day was not True Person Dixia, but Feng Chutang continued to teach.

Feng Chutang was still smiling, looking like a very good-tempered person, and didn't care if students joked with him. In this lesson, he didn't follow True Person Dixia's progress to talk about ancient times, but jumped directly to the ancient and modern dividing line, that is, the establishment of the Great Tang and the implementation of the sect unified examination.

"Taking advantage of True Person Dixia's seclusion, I will talk about the origin of the sect unified examination, and why it is one of the key points for dividing ancient and modern cultivation. The impact of the Great Tang's founding on immortal cultivation will be talked about slowly by True Person Dixia later."

All the students sat up straight, concentrating.

Since Feng Chutang said so, the sect unified examination must have a particularly important status in history. And in the previous two lessons, the students had already discovered that many contents taught by Feng Chutang could not be found in history books at all, and needed to be pieced together from countless sporadic records in multiple history books to outline a general scene. But these outlined scenes are exactly very important links in history. It can be said that missing these links, learning history can only learn a half-understanding.

Those students from high-ranking families had been well-educated since childhood and knew many reasons why history books were unwilling to record events in detail, which was nothing more than avoiding taboos for the Emperor and the respected.

But precisely because they knew the reasons, these children felt Feng Chutang's erudition and sharpness even more. Therefore, even if this teacher looked harmless to humans and animals, they all listened attentively, for fear of missing something. After all, what was taught in class could not be found in books, and their own elders might not be proficient in history.
