Mingchuan Zhenjun shook his head: "I have only been teaching you for a short time, so it is normal that you do not understand these things. In the future, you must never cultivate in the bustling city. Even if you have some insights, you must find a safe place. Otherwise, it is better to give up than to force it."
"Yes, disciple understands, and will not do it again." A-Jiang bowed his head and listened to the instruction.
Mingchuan Zhenjun then asked, "I already know about your experience that day. How could you suddenly have an epiphany after being treated so poorly?"
"I only thought that I was also at fault for wearing the clothes of a menial disciple, which caused the misunderstanding. I got angry because of this. Even though I punished those people, what I got was not what I wanted. On the contrary, my purpose was interfered with by these trivial matters, my behavior was controlled by others, and my cultivation was ruined. Thinking about this, I feel that the Great Dao is far away and I am really walking on thin ice."
Mingchuan Zhenjun nodded and said, "It is very difficult for someone your age to comprehend these things. This is both a good thing and a bad thing."
"What does Master mean by this?"
Can a tree grow if it is shackled?
A-Jiang shook his head.
True Lord Mingchuan said, “You feel that the Great Dao is vast and indistinct, as if you are standing on the edge of an abyss or walking on thin ice. You worry about everything and constantly reflect on yourself. Isn’t this a kind of constraint? Although our human race’s cultivation of immortality and pursuit of the Dao is going against the will of Heaven, isn’t it because Heaven has given us this opportunity? If we lack courage and vigor when rowing against the current, how far can we go?”
Ah Jiang carefully considered what his master had said, and in light of what had happened to him that day, he felt that he understood but not entirely.
Seeing this, Mingchuan Zhenjun asked her, "If it weren't for your sudden enlightenment, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
A-Jiang thought about the situation at the time. She should have been able to control her temper. If she had controlled it well, she would have taken out the spirit stones and directly negotiated the deal. If she hadn't controlled it well, she would have simply left. But the former would still have made her angry, while the latter would have made her feel weak and like she had been bullied.
None of them were satisfactory.
"It's clear that although you understand the reasoning, you still feel uneasy," Mingchuan Zhenjun said with a knowing smile.
"It's because my cultivation is insufficient," A-Jiang said discouragedly.
"You haven't been on the path of cultivation for long, so remember not to let yourself develop inner demons. If you can endure something, then endure it; if you can't, then take revenge on the spot. Don't be afraid of anything, your master will take responsibility for you."
"Master!"
Ah Jiang was moved to tears, saying, "My master is so kind!"
"Alright, after this incident you should understand the importance of Dao Heart to a cultivator. Take care of your health for now. The sect competition is coming up soon. If you don't want to participate, you can just watch. If you do want to, you can prepare."
"yes!"
Ajahn bowed and withdrew.
The main peak of the Qinglian Sect, Tianyu Peak, embodies the sect's millennia-long efforts, and its palaces are exceptionally magnificent.
The ground is paved with white jade and planted with precious spiritual flowers and herbs. The mountain winds its way from the middle to the top, and that highest position has always been a place that everyone dreams of.
The arena is located in the plaza halfway up the mountain, with 6 main arenas and 1 sub-arena already set up. The matches will be decided by drawing lots.
The arena is prepared for all newly initiated disciples, and it adopts a defense-and-conquer competition format. The final winner will be qualified to participate in the martial arts tournament.
After four rounds on the main stage, there will be six winners, plus one winner from the sub-stages, making a total of seven.
Apart from the Six Summit Martial Arts Competition held once every thirty years, such a large-scale selection event for new talents is rarely held, so the disciples were all very enthusiastic and came out in the middle of the night to reserve their spots.
Since Master said he could participate or not, A-Jiang decided not to participate.
[Swords have no eyes, so I'd better not take the risk. Besides, I'm a summoner; my strength lies in group battles, and this kind of activity isn't suitable for me.]
During this period, although she raised her cultivation level to the tenth level of Qi Refining, she did not learn many new techniques. Although she possessed many treasures, most of them were not refined and could no longer be used in martial arts competitions.
[Let's find some time to open more spirit beast eggs. It's much more enjoyable for the spirit beasts to cultivate than for me to do it myself.]
The spirit beasts in her personal space cultivate quickly and well, and she can summon them at any time, so why should she need to learn magic?
[As long as you diligently collect more summoned beasts, open the gates to more worlds, and contract powerful creatures to fight for you, you won't need to fight personally.]
This is the path of a summoner's training, A-Jiang thought to himself.
