The mission world is not like a transit station. As a soul body, Emperor Xiu does not need to eat, nor can he eat. Drinking tea is just for show.
As for the apprenticeship ceremony, Emperor Xiu was short of money, so he ultimately followed the example of the previous world and gave away an array.
The formation gathers yang energy and can ward off evil spirits at night. The stone used to carve the formation looks exactly like the pebbles dug out of the green paths in the community.
He Linye was overjoyed and insisted on having it made into a pendant to wear around his neck.
He Linyu felt lost, thinking that his family hadn't been poor in raising him.
After becoming disciples, Di Xiu began to teach the two of them cultivation.
He had taught people cultivation before, but the situation was different now. The time before, Mao Qiu and the others had special abilities and didn't need to start from sensing and condensing spiritual energy, but these two were genuine ordinary people who didn't understand acupoints and meridians.
Since it would be too slow for them to get started, especially since He Linyu was a very busy person, and they didn't need to cultivate to become immortals, the Emperor Cultivator decided to help them take a shortcut.
He originally wanted He Linye to go first, but He Linyu suggested that he go first, which was actually quite rude, since He Linye was the one who had formally become a disciple. However, the other two knew the reason for his move and agreed.
"It might hurt a little. You have to relax and not resist, otherwise it will hurt more."
He Linyu readily agreed.
The study was carpeted. He sat cross-legged, changed his posture according to Di Xiu's instructions, facing upwards, and finally glanced at his younger brother who was full of expectation before closing his eyes helplessly.
Emperor Xiu walked around to him, raised his hand to gather the surrounding spiritual energy, and guided it from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head into his meridians, flowing through his whole body. When they reached a fork in the road, they split into multiple parallel paths.
As the spiritual energy passed through his cervical spine and lower back, He Linyu felt a dull pain in his body, and his face turned pale.
Emperor Xiu said calmly, "Your meridians are blocked. Just bear with it."
He Linyu vaguely sensed that things were completely out of control, and a thousand thoughts involuntarily flashed through his mind, causing his materialistic views to begin to waver.
Just then, he felt a light tap on his forehead, the icy touch instantly freezing all his thoughts.
Emperor Xiu guided the spiritual energy to disperse the blockage, and after the dull pain subsided, He Linyu inexplicably felt a sense of lightness.
He could feel something moving inside his body, passing through his entire body, and finally reaching the sole of his foot, which is the Yongquan acupoint.
After clearing his meridians, Emperor Xiu once again guided spiritual energy in, circulating it through a full cycle before gathering it in his dantian.
"Try to sense the spiritual energy in your dantian and find a way to retain it."
Although He Linyu could vaguely feel a warm sensation in his lower abdomen, he couldn't figure out how to retain it. After trying three or five times, he finally managed to hold onto the spiritual energy before it dissipated.
This is the first step in cultivation: drawing qi into the body. There are both advantages and disadvantages to Emperor cultivators doing this, but since the upper limit of this world is not high, the disadvantages are almost negligible.
"That's fine."
He Linyu opened his eyes, his body covered in sweat, feeling sore and comfortable, as if he had just soaked in a hot spring.
Before he knew it, it was already completely dark outside. He turned on a small lamp inside and looked at the clock, only to find that nearly seven hours had passed.
He Linye pinched his nose and said in disgust, "Brother, you smell so bad, go wash up."
He Linyu looked down and saw that he looked as if he had rolled in a ditch. His white shirt was black and there was a foul smell. His face and neck suddenly felt hot. He hurriedly told Di Xiu.
"Excuse me."
Before long, the sound of water could be faintly heard. He Linye looked at Di Xiu with shining eyes: "Master, is this the legendary cleansing of the marrow and meridians?"
Di Xiu nodded: "When drawing Qi into the body, it is necessary to open up all the meridians and expel impurities from the body."
He Linye ran over to massage his shoulders, but Di Xiu blocked him and then squatted down beside him with an admiring look on his face: "Master, is guiding Qi into the body that simple?"
"You also need to have comprehension. I can help you open your meridians and guide spiritual energy, but whether you can retain it depends on you, and how well you cultivate afterwards also depends on you."
"I understand, I understand. The master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on yourself."
The sound of water stopped, and He Linyu called out to He Linye, who immediately ran over and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"clothing."
He Linye slapped his forehead and hurriedly went to his room to find his clothes, finding a new set of pajamas to take in.
"...and towels."
"Okay."
He Linyu emerged, his body radiating dampness. When he arrived at the study, he hesitated for a moment when he looked at Di Xiu, but said nothing.
Di Xiu said, "You guys go have dinner first."
He Linye then realized he was hungry, said okay, and took his brother out. They returned about half an hour later.
Di Xiu then used the same method to guide He Linye's Qi.
His meridians were severely blocked, and Di Xiu showed no pity. When he cried out in pain, Di Xiu gave him a low scolding, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
However, the last step went more smoothly, perhaps because he had manipulated yin and ghost energy when he was a ghost, thus retaining the spiritual energy in one go.
Just by looking at the time, He Linye knew he was definitely faster than his brother, and he was so proud of himself that he looked down and found that he was also smelly, so he quickly went to take a shower.
He Linyu walked up to Di Xiu and asked with some doubt, "Does the Xuanmen sect really exist in this world?"
"have."
"There are ghosts too?"
"Yes. In a sense, I'm a ghost now too."
Emperor Xiu made his figure ethereal, and He Linyu could no longer see him. When he reached out, he only touched air. But when Emperor Xiu condensed his body again, he was still in the same place. He could feel the solidity in his hand, but it was very cold.
He Linyu was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and said with shame, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood Mr. Di."
"It's only human nature."
After pondering for a long time, He Linyu asked again, "May I become Mr. Di's apprentice?"
Di Xiu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "You need to arrange a time that is enough for you to memorize the cultivation technique's core principles and operational trajectory."
He Linyu felt a little regretful, but he also knew that once it was missed, it was missed.
The room was quiet. He Linye, oblivious to anything amiss, entered without a second thought and excitedly asked Di Xiu, "Master, shall we continue?"
"You should rest first, it's very late."
"good."
There are only two rooms here. He Linye had tidied up the side bedroom so that Di Xiu could rest there, even if he couldn't sleep. But Di Xiu seemed to particularly love the sofa in the study.
He Linye had always used his study as a game room, and after some hesitation, he handed over all the game consoles, even though Di Xiu didn't play them.
He Linyu was pulled into the master bedroom by his younger brother. He called his assistant to briefly tell him that he would not be going back for the time being, and that he could handle minor matters on his own, and send an email for major matters.
The two brothers were inexplicably full of energy, as if they had taken stimulants. They hadn't slept in the same bed for a long time, so they started chatting late into the night.
He Linyu wanted to know the relationship between his younger brother and Di Xiu, but no matter how he asked, his brother wouldn't say anything. Finally, when he was getting sleepy and ready to go to sleep, his brother suddenly sat up and found some tape to seal his mouth shut.
Looking at his silly expression, He Linyu couldn't help but chuckle, but inwardly he couldn't help feeling melancholy that even his carefree younger brother had a secret.
Thinking about that Mr. Di again, a lot of doubts arose.
well!
