Chapter 87 Spiritual Qi Technique
It's not that all bloodthirsty people have become evil cultivators, but rather that they have become bloodthirsty because they have become evil cultivators.

Many people are unaware of the cause and effect, and often reverse them.

Xuan Yunzi's words cleared up the doubts and revealed the path taken by evil cultivators.

Returning to the main topic, he continued, "Those who understand the relationship between spiritual energy and spiritual power, and the way spiritual power operates, enter the spiritual realm. This is the most common explanation of the spiritual realm in the world of spiritual energy."

"Another interpretation is that the 'spirit' in 'spirit realm' refers to the spirit of all living things in heaven and earth. The Xuan Gu Jing says that all things have spirits, which reproduce and multiply without ceasing, and change endlessly."

"These two interpretations represent two different paths to the Spirit Realm. To give an analogy, the Spirit Realm is like a mountain that stands there, unmoving. Some people climb from the left side of the mountain to reach the top, while others climb from the right side and can also eventually reach the summit."

In short, they arrived at the same destination by different paths.

These things are not covered when you are in the outer sect; you are only qualified to come into contact with them after you become an inner sect disciple.

The more people listened, the more they realized that they had been completely looking at the moon from the bottom of a well.

The class ended at the beginning of the 5 PM.

The next day, Xuan Yunzi continued to teach, but he no longer talked about realms.

He distributed cultivation technique jade slips to everyone, and then said, "This is the cultivation technique for refining spirits."

“In the world of spiritual cultivation, there are countless methods for refining spiritual energy, and each sect chooses a different method. When you were in the outer sect, the method you practiced, ‘Spirit Refining Technique,’ allowed your spiritual energy to flow only through the Ren and Du meridians. Therefore, it was also called the Small Heavenly Circuit Spirit Refining Method.”

"The Spirit Refining Technique you have now allows spiritual energy to flow through the Ren and Du meridians as well as other meridians. It is called the Great Circulation Spirit Refining Technique. Simply put, this technique is an advanced version of the Spirit Refining Manual."

"These next two days, you must devote yourselves to studying the cultivation technique and mastering the method of the Great Circulation Spirit Refining. If there is anything you do not understand, come and ask me for guidance."

Xuan Yunzi sat on the futon at the head of the table, his eyes slightly closed, resting his mind, letting everyone study on their own.

The disciples in Jingxinzhai have all been in the sect for at least three years. They are no longer the ignorant children who entered the sect at the beginning. They have been learning to read and write and practicing cultivation techniques for a long time.

Moreover, this new cultivation method is essentially still the "Spirit Refining Technique". Therefore, Xuan Yunzi does not need to annotate and explain it word by word, or teach them how to cultivate spiritual energy in every detail.

The Jingxinzhai was completely quiet, without the slightest sound.

Ning Fusang probed into her mind and entered the jade slip, where a complete cultivation method appeared in her mind.

This book, "The Art of Spiritual Energy," is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.

The first part, "The Chapter on Sensing," teaches cultivators how to sense spiritual energy; the second part, "The Chapter on Transformation," also known as "The Chapter on Refining Qi," mainly discusses the key to guiding spiritual energy and compressing it into spiritual power; the third part, "The Chapter on Stillness," is a continuation of the cultivation method. When spiritual power surges during the cultivation process, this method can be used to calm it down.

After Ning Fusang finished reading the "Spiritual Qi Technique," he knew that it was an extremely superior cultivation technique. It covered the entire cultivation process and was so rigorous that it had no flaws whatsoever.

In the entire Zhongling World, there is probably no more perfect spirit refining technique than this. However, there is a strict requirement for cultivating the "Spirit Qi Technique": one must first learn the "Spirit Refining Technique" before one can cultivate this technique.

However, this is not a requirement for the disciples of the Southern Star Sword Sect. Every disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect will study the "Spirit Refining Technique" when they are in the outer sect.

The sect's consideration of dividing the cultivation method into two parts is quite thorough and meticulous.

After some people understood the relationship between the "Spiritual Energy Technique" and the "Spiritual Refining Technique," their expressions turned somewhat grim.

When they were in the outer sect, in order to speed up their cultivation, they paid out of their own pockets to buy other spirit refining techniques.

Now a dilemma lies before us. We must either abandon our previous cultivation methods and switch to the "Spiritual Qi Technique," or continue practicing our original methods and leave the "Spiritual Qi Technique" aside.

There are also some people with mediocre talent who, because they entered the sect earlier than others and cultivated for several more years, barely managed to enter the inner sect based on their cultivation level. Even now, they still haven't understood the cultivation method and look distressed.

They could only sigh in relief, thankfully this course didn't have an assessment.

The course ended in silence.

During his five-day break, Ning Fusang spent his time at the Enlightenment Cliff in Yunling Valley, comprehending sword intent and breaking through a minor realm.

The rain stopped in the morning, and the sunset glowed in the evening.

On Jinxia Peak, a middle-aged man was walking up the mountain path.

"Master, I have already inquired, and it is indeed Sect Leader Shen who wants you to give lectures."

The middle-aged man seemed reluctant to speak: "Sect Leader Shen said that you owe the sect a total of 180,000 contribution points and 70,000 spirit stones. If you go to teach, it can offset part of the sect's debt."

The old man with white hair and beard sat up straight instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Our Golden Cloud Peak owes the sect so many contribution points?"

The middle-aged man nodded and took out a thick booklet: "This is the income and expenditure record of Jinxia Peak over the years. I have copied it down and brought it back for Master to review."

Gongyang Mo rubbed his temples and waved his hand, saying, "So much debt, it hurts my eyes to look at it, I'd better not."

"I trust Master Shen's character."

He sighed, "Very well, I'll take this job."

"However, if Sect Leader Shen is looking for a teacher, why would he suddenly think of me? I haven't shown my face for a hundred years. Logically speaking, Sect Leader Shen should have overlooked me."

Jun Shujin thought for a moment and said, "Our Golden Cloud Peak owes the sect so much debt. It would be difficult for Sect Leader Shen to forget it, wouldn't it?"

The sect hasn't come to collect the debt for so long because of Sect Leader Shen's leniency. The fact that they're pressing for payment now probably means that the sect's development has been somewhat sluggish in recent years.

"If I were to give lectures, how much of my debt could be offset?" Gongyang Mo asked.

Jun Shujin said solemnly, "Two thousand five hundred contribution points."

"Master, this is the class that Master Shen asked you to teach, and the student roster."

Jun Shujin pulled out a piece of paper and a list from under the ledger: "Sect Leader Shen means that you will be teaching the course on the knowledge of demonic beasts. You will be teaching Class B."

"The students were assigned by lottery. Some are disciples who just entered the inner sect this year, while others are students who are repeating this course. The course is scheduled for the morning of the third day, so you have three days to prepare."

Gongyang Mo was in a state of confusion and couldn't help but say, "Why did you leave me so little time to prepare? By the way, there's a Class A class for this course, right? Have you found out which elder is teaching it?"

"If it's someone I know, you should go there yourself and ask for a copy of the document for me."

Jun Shujin said helplessly, "Master, the other elder has no dealings with our Golden Cloud Peak."

Gongyang Mo held the student roster, unable to concentrate at all. All he could do now was sigh.

How did this task end up falling to him?
