A Feng Shui Master’s Guide to Cultivation

Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.

When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 68: Seeking Entry

Xi Yunting was very interested. Seeing that Chen Xiao really wanted to work in this direction, he gave him a detailed introduction to how the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation recruited disciples, how the process was carried out, and all the aspects that would be involved. From Xi Yunting's personal point of view, he felt that Chen Xiao would have a good prospect in running this business. At least the Chongxuan Sect would not refuse to accept so many disciples with excellent qualifications, and it is even very likely that they would look for Chen Xiao to cooperate again in ten years. At least by then, Xi Yunting would make a suggestion to the Director's Office to avoid being forgotten or ignored - he felt that this possibility was not high.

Chen Xiao listened carefully to Xi Yunting's introduction, and even took the opportunity to ask questions that had arisen during the day. Chen Xiao asked, "During the day on stage, I noticed that among the top-grade talents, some of the same double spiritual roots and triple spiritual roots were 'top-grade double spiritual roots', while others were 'double spiritual roots, top-grade'. Is there any limitation to this subtle difference?"

Xi Yunting nodded and said, "You are very careful and noticed this. Yes, even if they have dual spiritual roots, triple spiritual roots or other spiritual roots, they will have different talents. For example, Ah Shu in the daytime. His water and wood spiritual roots are relatively strong. I think you have also seen the reaction on the magic weapon. The two colors are equally strong and the light is equally bright. So he is a top-grade dual spiritual root. And Ah Qin behind him. He has four spiritual roots of water, wood, earth and wind. Among them, only the wood attribute is strong, and the other three spiritual roots are weak. So he is a four-spiritual root, top-grade."

Chen Xiao concluded, "What this means is that no matter how many spiritual roots there are, as long as they are equally strong, the comments for the top-grade ones will be placed in front. If there is only one strong spiritual root, or several strong spiritual roots, and the rest are weaker, the comments will be placed after the spiritual root is named. This is to distinguish the specific differences between the top-grade spiritual roots."

Xi Yunting nodded in appreciation: "That's right."

Xi Yunting fully answered Chen Xiao's questions, which made him very grateful. Xi Yunting said, "You're welcome. If you hadn't suggested taking this test, there wouldn't be such a gain. I think the people in the Director's Office will be very happy to take this batch of disciples back. The merits I get from this mission will also be higher than expected." Especially Ah Shou, who has a single spiritual root that has mutated into the ice attribute, will definitely attract attention if he goes to the Chongxuan Sect. Although he is a little older, his foundation is still solid. He has a good character, and after being taught, he will probably be willing to work hard. Those directors and elders will surely rush to accept him as a disciple.

Chen Xiao was very happy that he could not only help Xi Yunting but also achieve his goal of increasing his popularity among the upper echelons of the Chongxuan Sect. He stood up and said to Xi Yunting apologetically, "I have been talking to you, Master Xi, and it is so late now. I am sorry to have disturbed your rest."

Xi Yunting asked Chen Xiao to see him out of the room. He shook his head and said, "No, it's rare for me to have such a long conversation with someone." He was sincere. In the Chongxuan Sect, only his seniors could talk for such a long time. Few peers and juniors could stay alone with him for such a long time. Xi Yunting was not a good person to talk to. He was too good at ending the topic.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Tomorrow, Master Xi will announce the good news to the villagers, right? Although the date of departure has not been set, it can allow those who are chosen to prepare in advance. After all, this departure is a long journey."

Xi Yunting did not agree with Chen Xiao this time. His face was slightly solemn, and he said in a low voice: "No, it's not the time to announce this news yet."

"Huh?" Chen Xiao looked up at Xi Yunting in confusion. At this time, the two of them were standing outside the door. Far away from the light radiation area of ​​the lamp, the dim vision made it difficult for Chen Xiao to see his expression. "Why?"

Xi Yunting lowered his eyes to look at Chen Xiao's face and said to him, "I still want to see a person's performance. Although it is not a test, it can also reveal his character." After saying this, without waiting for Chen Xiao to reply, he turned around and walked back to his room.

Chen Xiao pondered over Master Xi's words. Without being pointed out, Chen Xiao could understand that the person he was talking about was Ah Shou, and only he was qualified to be so. After this night of conversation and discussion, Chen Xiao understood that even if one had a natural spiritual root, there were still big differences between practitioners.

Single spiritual roots are relatively rare. Because of their singleness, their true essence is pure, their progress is fast, and they encounter fewer obstacles in their cultivation. They are gifted by nature. Not to mention that Ah Shou is also an excellent talent. The azure light on the edge of the magic weapon is still dazzling when Chen Xiao thinks about it now. Just based on what he has seen today, even in Changjia Village, which is blessed by the Feng Shui treasure land, there may only be one such excellent one in a hundred years. Rare and rare in a hundred years, Ah Shou is highly valued.

With so many things going on in his mind, Chen Xiao thought he would not be able to sleep. However, he had lived too regularly for more than a year, and his biological clock had become too strong. With just the pillow, Chen Xiao fell into a deep sleep, and slept without a dream until dawn.

The next day, although the village was still immersed in the joy brought by yesterday, people's lives had returned to normal. It was sad to say that knowing one's own spiritual root talents and the spiritual root talents of children would be of no use? The resources in the village were limited, and they could neither learn targeted exercises nor provide various attribute supplies to assist in practicing exercises. It was still the same as before, and it would be the same in the future.

Many of the older people have been numb in their lives, not caring about what the future will be like. But those who have ideas feel helpless and powerless about the current situation. They even have the desire from the bottom of their hearts to do something to change the current situation. Maybe this was impossible and unattainable in the past. But now, there is a Taoist master of the Chongxuan School in the village, and this may be the only chance!

After Chen Xiao got up and washed up, he joined Xi Yunting who had finished his morning exercise and walked towards A Shou's home. If there hadn't been a conversation last night, Chen Xiao would have suggested to Xi Yunting that he should convey anything. After all, Xi Yunting took the Bigu Pill and didn't eat. Chen Xiao felt bad about having to go for nothing with him every morning.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yunting actually picked up the chopsticks at the table that morning. Everyone stared at him in surprise. Tong Nuonuo was the first to ask, "Master Xi? You don't want to take the fasting pills?"

Xi Yunting didn't care at all about the surprised expressions and looks of the people around him. He calmly took a portion of mixed vegetables from the plate on the table and said, "The fasting pills are only taken in the valley for the convenience of cultivation. Now that I'm out for training, I naturally don't need to use them anymore." He didn't eat them a few days ago because the effect of the fasting pills he took last time had not worn off.

Tong Nuonuo suddenly realized it, and he immediately recommended the side dishes on the table to Xi Yunting, which one was very delicious and was just picked this morning. Chen Xiao clenched his jaw. Xi Yunting's decision was very reasonable, and they were surprised that they were making a fuss.

Chen Xiao took a sip of the golden porridge on the table, and then took a small, white and plump steamed bun to eat. He felt that this morning's breakfast was particularly sweet. Whether it was mixed vegetables, porridge or steamed buns, compared with the previous morning, it was more than a level higher.

Du Rong still shared a bed with Ah Shou. Ah Shou's bed was big enough, and he was too lazy to stay in another villager's house. The two rough guys didn't care about each other, and they would just make do for one night. Because he had been staying in this house, he knew a lot of things that Chen Xiao didn't know.

Du Rong saw the incense Chen Xiao used, and said to him, "These villagers are really considerate. Not only did they prepare a sumptuous meal last night as a reward, but they also specially sent these dishes over this morning. The taste is much better than what our neighbors made before."

Ah Shou smiled and said, "As long as Brother Du likes it. To thank you, the village chief and the elders have already discussed it and asked several skilled women to take turns delivering meals."

Du Rong laughed: "This is really thanks to Master Xi's help."

After the simple but delicious breakfast was finished, there were women to clean up the mess without anyone having to worry about it. Several people sat in the yard and discussed how long they would stay in the village.

With the pills Xi Yunting gave him, Wu Qing's injuries got better day by day. Now he had begun to feel his limbs, and after using the pills again, he would be able to sit up.

The amount Xi Yunting gave was just enough for Wu Qing to stand up and move. As for the nourishing pills, Xi Yunting didn't give them, and Wu Qing didn't mention it. Although he was willing to lend a hand, Xi Yunting was not a pushover. He couldn't just help Wu Qing out for free, but fortunately, Wu Qing also understood the ways of the world and didn't feel any resentment because of this.

With the small bottle of Yangxi Pill that Tong Nuonuo gave him, Wu Qing's meridians and internal organs were almost healed. Wu Qing was very optimistic, thinking that as long as he exposed Li Xianshi and his gang, Zhishitang would send a guardian of the Nascent Soul stage to punish them. By that time, Wu Qing and other victims should be able to get a compensation. With this money, Wu Qing can buy Yangxi Pills himself and heal his injuries.

After calculating that they would have to stay in the village for more than 20 days, several people felt that the time was too long, so they had to find something to do. Master Xi didn't like to hang around, so he decided to find a place to practice or meditate every day. Chen Xiao had other plans, so he told Du Rong that he wanted to go up the mountain. Tong Nuonuo, who was a person with poor directions, naturally followed others. Wherever Chen Xiao went, he went there.

After deciding what to do next, they went out separately. Ah Shou, who had been listening nearby and seemed a little restless, suddenly stood up. He rushed to Xi Yunting and performed the most solemn and formal greeting in the world. He knelt on the ground, supported his hands on the ground, and knocked his head deeply on the ground, with his forehead pressed against the ground.

No matter how much he neglected his cultivation, his talent was there, and he had already reached the foundation-building stage. It was just that because he had been living in decadence for many years, although his realm had not fallen, his cultivation had regressed. Du Rong felt that he was only slightly better than himself, which showed how bad his current situation was. But the foundation-building stage was still the foundation-building stage. Before Chen Xiao could even see clearly, he had already bowed down in front of Xi Yunting.

Du Rong's eyes blurred as well. After seeing clearly, he shouted in surprise: "Brother Shou, what are you doing?"

Ah Shou did not reply to Du Rong's words, but bowed respectfully. His voice was a little muffled and reached everyone's ears, and they heard him say: "Master Xi, please accept the greetings of the casual cultivator Chang Shou. I beg you to accept me as a disciple of the Chongxuan Sect."

Chen Xiao stood close to him and clearly saw Xi Yunting's mouth corners raised. He was immediately relieved. It seemed that Master Xi was satisfied with Ah Shou's performance. After more than 20 years of decadence, Ah Shou finally cheered up.
