Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
The six female disciples immediately stood in a row and respectfully greeted Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan.
Ye Feng then said, "Senior Sister Li, please stop joking around. Last time you joked in the dining hall, it caused Zhao Yingjie to hold a grudge against me. If this causes any more conflict, then the responsibility will all fall on your shoulders, Senior Sister Li."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyan's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
Li Qingyan pretended to be annoyed and said, "What's wrong with joking? Besides, I didn't mean any harm!"
"Sit down quickly, stop dawdling. Elder Liu Shanrui will be here soon," Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile.
So Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan sat down together next to Ye Feng, while the six female disciples moved back a little and sat down as well.
The night breeze, surrounded by beauties, did not arouse any envy or jealousy among the male disciples in the central square.
Because the Ling Shui Sect has very few male disciples, the male-to-female ratio is an exaggerated one to nine.
Given the scarcity of wolves and abundance of meat, the male disciples naturally felt no envy or jealousy towards Ye Feng.
Not long after, a figure came from a distance.
Along with it came the vast aura emanating from the Divine Travel Realm warrior.
The hundreds of Ling Shui Sect disciples present immediately knew that Elder Liu Shanrui had arrived, so they all sat up straight on the ground and stopped whispering.
Elder Liu Shanrui drew closer and closer, finally landing on the stone platform in the central square.
Looking at the disciples in the arena, Elder Liu Shanrui smiled and said, "It seems that almost everyone has arrived. In that case, let's begin now."
"Today, we will not talk about the specific content of the exercises, but about the harmony between the exercises and one's mind and nature."
Upon hearing Liu Shanrui's words, many disciples present showed confused expressions.
"Does the cultivation method align with one's temperament?"
"What does this mean?"
"I don't quite understand."
Many of the disciples present began to whisper among themselves, while Li Qingyan looked puzzled.
Qiu Miaozhen also showed a look of understanding but not quite.
Ye Feng, however, was not puzzled, because he had long known and deeply understood the importance of the harmony between cultivation techniques and one's temperament.
What does it mean for physical practice to be in harmony with one's mind and nature?
"It's actually quite simple: the technique must be compatible with the martial artist's personality and temperament."
"Some people are reserved and prefer directness, disliking beating around the bush. Such people are more suited to practicing simple and direct techniques. Practicing these techniques can achieve twice the result with half the effort..."
"Some people are intelligent and good at thinking, so they are more suited to practicing more advanced techniques, which also have a multiplier effect..."
"Let me give you an example..."
At this point, Liu Shanrui raised her hand and pointed to a female disciple below.
The female disciple had round cheeks and looked very lively and cute, and she was also very talkative.
Upon seeing Liu Shanrui pointing at her, the female disciple immediately stood up from the ground and chattered like a parrot, asking, "Elder Liu, are you going to use me as an example? Last time you used me as an example, it made me very embarrassed. Today you must save me some face and not make me too awkward..."
"Shut up." Liu Shanrui glared at the female disciple.
The female disciple finally shut her mouth.
Then, Liu Shanrui pointed to another female disciple beside her.
The female disciple had long black hair, a very thin face, and was clearly a taciturn, even aloof and introverted person.
So after the female disciple stood up, she didn't say a word, but simply bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.
"Zhao Yuanyuan, Chen Qingyu, I remember that you two entered our Lingshui Sect together three years ago and cultivated together, is that right?" Liu Shanrui asked.
"Yeah yeah."
Zhao Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly.
Liu Shanrui then asked, "I remember you all chose the same cultivation technique back then, which was the 'Mysterious Ice Technique,' right?"
“Yes, yes.” Zhao Yuanyuan nodded vigorously again.
Liu Shanrui smiled and said, "After you two chose this cultivation method, Chen Qingyu reached the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm in just three months, and also reached the fourth level of the Profound Ice Technique. However, Zhao Yuanyuan, your strength has only reached the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm, and you have only reached the first level of the Profound Ice Technique. You haven't even reached the second level yet."
"You came to me crying back then, asking if you were incredibly stupid, since you entered the sect at the same time as Chen Qingyu and cultivated the same technique, yet your cultivation speed was so much slower than hers..."
Many of the disciples present burst into laughter.
Zhao Yuanyuan's cheeks immediately turned bright red.
"Please don't laugh, everyone. Zhao Yuanyuan's problem back then is exactly what I'm about to talk about. What she encountered was a mismatch between her cultivation method and her temperament."
"Zhao Yuanyuan is lively and carefree, while the Xuanbing Technique is more suitable for people with a calm and even cold temperament. That's why Chen Qingyu's cultivation of the Xuanbing Technique is a perfect match between the technique and her temperament, which makes her achieve twice the result with half the effort and her cultivation speed is particularly fast."
"However, Zhao Yuanyuan's cultivation method was not compatible with her temperament, so she achieved half the results with twice the effort, and her cultivation speed was less than half that of Chen Qingyu."
"Now you all know how important it is for the practice to be in harmony with your own mind and nature, right?"
Liu Shanrui chuckled as she finished speaking.
A female disciple asked curiously, "So how was Junior Sister Zhao's problem resolved in the end?"
"It's simple, just switch to a different cultivation method, right?"
Liu Shanrui said with a smile, "When Zhao Yuanyuan came to me, I told her that she had chosen the wrong cultivation method and that she should choose a different one and start over. The cultivation method I suggested she practice was the Prosperous Flower Technique."
Zhao Yuanyuan continued Liu Shanrui's words, saying, "So I followed Elder Liu's arrangement and chose to cultivate the Prosperous Flower Technique. After re-cultivating the Prosperous Flower Technique, my cultivation speed indeed became many times faster than before. A year later, I caught up with Chen Qingyu and even surpassed her!"
Chen Qingyu seemed somewhat unconvinced, but she only gave a soft hum and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Yuanyuan chuckled, her face full of smugness.
Many disciples present felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky, and they immediately began to reflect on themselves.
Ye Feng already knew the effects of combining cultivation techniques with one's temperament, so he wasn't surprised at all.
Ye Feng has a straightforward and open-minded personality, but at the same time, he is also sharp and outspoken.
Therefore, Ye Feng's cultivation of the indestructible golden body under the tribulation of lightning can be said to be a perfect match.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng's comprehension of the Metal element true energy after arriving in the Five Elements World was remarkably smooth, succeeding in almost a day and a night, without even needing to rely on the fundamental techniques of the Golden Cloud Sect.
