The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 319, Discipline is Required for Body and Mind
Hua Changxi did not heed Yan Zhenzhen's advice to return to Danyuan Peak to rest. Instead, she helped the Danyuan Peak's resident disciples treat the injured.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhenzhen sighed and turned back to the Zhen Sheng Sect camp.

"Master."

Seeing his disciple's dejected look, Yun Yinzhou, the fifth elder of the Array Saint Sect, laughed and said, "What's wrong? Didn't that young friend Hua from the Pill Saint Hall listen to your advice?"

Yan Zhenzhen nodded and repeated what Hua Changxi had told her to her master: "Master, I think there's nothing wrong with Changxi following her own heart."

"Your true nature?"

Yun Yinzhou smiled and said, "Everyone has their own way of doing things. I was overthinking it. Hua Changxi has her own ideas, and outsiders really shouldn't interfere too much."

Yan Zhenzhen's worry remained: "But... Master, your worries are not wrong. Changxi is only focused on saving people and doesn't care about other people and things at all. This is obviously a problem."

"My previous interactions with Changxi were limited to the exchange of cultivation resources. I greatly admired her straightforwardness and generosity; she is a person who is not greedy."

"As the pillars of the central continent, the five holy lands guide the development and direction of the continent, and they should have more people like her."

"However, after experiencing this joint rescue of the wounded, I am genuinely a little worried about her."

"She probably doesn't even realize that because of her actions, many people have lost the opportunity to do good deeds, and she has unintentionally offended many people. She is completely unaware of this."

Yan Zhenzhen paused for a moment: "Jing Liao once said that Changxi's heart is closed; Tong Yao also said that Changxi's way of dealing with people is a bit stubborn. I didn't understand what they said before, but now I think I understand a little."

"She only wanted to protect her own little corner of the world, and acted only according to her own ideas, completely ignoring the workings and feedback from the outside world."

Yan Zhenzhen looked at her master: "Master, it would be fine if Changxi were just an ordinary person, but she happens to be a person in the limelight."

"Because of her, the Dan Sheng Temple has been revived twice, and its revival rate is the highest among all holy lands. Even the Star Gazing Tower was reborn in the world because of her."

"Changxi caused too much of a stir, and she couldn't escape the influence of the outside world. But she herself turned a blind eye to these influences, or rather, avoided them."

“Master, I once heard Zhang Tianshi of the Celestial Master’s Mansion preach. He said that cultivators must first enter the world and let their body and mind experience all kinds of joys and sorrows in the world, so as to eventually achieve a harmonious state of mind that transcends the world.”

"But Changxi, she is clearly in the world, yet she acts as if she is avoiding it."

“Jing and Tong Yao had both warned Changxi before, but she didn’t take it seriously. When I tried to persuade her just now, she had her own reasons, and I seemed to be the unreasonable one.”

"Master, how can I help her?"

Yun Yinzhou looked at his disciple with satisfaction and smiled, "You can understand all kinds of principles through a person and an event, which shows that you have indeed focused on cultivating your mind and body in your daily life."

There was a pause.

"Principles cannot teach people. Throughout history, there have been countless books that teach people, but people are stubborn and won't turn back until they hit a wall. Sometimes, even hitting a wall won't help."

"Hua Changxi"

"After the spiritual energy revival, most people only pursue the improvement of their cultivation strength, but neglect the cultivation of body and mind."

"Hua Changxi is clearly that kind of person."

"Her stubbornness and closed-mindedness stem from her arrogance and lack of concern for others. She acts solely based on her likes and dislikes and instincts. Ironically, she possesses both strength and good fortune, and the consequences of her actions align with the general trend of spiritual energy revival." "With such interactions with the outside world, she will only feel that she is not wrong. Even worse, she may have the illusion that 'everyone else is drunk but she is sober.'"

"Beneath her brave exterior lies a heart full of arrogance."

"An arrogant person will never listen to the advice of others."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen's expression became even more serious: "Are we just going to let Changxi continue like this?"

Yun Yinzhou smiled and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Cultivation is not an easy thing. People who don't pay attention to self-cultivation and mental cultivation will not be able to improve their mental state."

"The reason why Hua Changxi has been able to progress so smoothly is positively correlated with her strength. But when her cultivation stagnates, she will probably reflect on it."

When the topic of stagnant cultivation came up, Yan Zhenzhen's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, yes, Changxi said before that her cultivation had stagnated."

Yun Yinzhou continued with a smile, "Everything has its own destiny. Everyone has to go through many hurdles to grow. You can't rush it."

"In cultivation, besides focusing on strength, one must also restrain one's mind and body. If you really want to help that young friend Hua, then guide her to cultivate her body and mind more."

After hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen nodded. At this moment, a disciple of the Holy Sect came looking for Yun Yinzhou, so she left the camp to find Jing Liaoliao.

Jing Liao had just finished reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra for the injured and was resting when Yan Zhenzhen found him and couldn't help but talk to him at length.

"My master said that Changxi harbors an arrogant heart. How can I possibly tell her such a thing!"

Jing nodded: "Your master is being so frank with you because you are close, and you are talking about a third person, so there is no need for you to hold back."

Yan Zhenzhen looked in agreement: "But how can I guide Changxi in cultivating his character and mind? Your Buddhist sect has the most rules and regulations, do you have any suggestions?"

Jing smiled and shook his head: "Admonitions are of little use to anyone in the world."

"You don't need to worry too much. Changxi once had the Awakening Mark imprinted at Xiangguo Temple. With the reminder of the Awakening Mark, the dormant spirituality within Changxi can be gradually awakened."

Yan Zhenzhen: "Cultivating oneself and cultivating one's mind requires spirituality the most. I just can't understand it. Changxi has such good talent, her spirituality should be excellent, but she is confused and unclear about many things."

Jing Liao's face showed a look of pity: "Humans are born with the ability to know, perceive, and understand, and their spirituality is inherently complete. However, due to differences in the environment in which they grow up, many people's spirituality is either obscured or restricted."

“You and I grew up in the holy land, we have seen a lot, we have come into contact with a lot of people and things, and our scope of perception and awareness is relatively large, but many people do not have such opportunities and conditions.”

"Changxi's upbringing destined her mindset to be quite different from ours."

"When your state of mind is elevated, enlightenment comes naturally."

"What Changxi lacks now is the opportunity for enlightenment, not our advice."

Yan Zhenzhen smiled: "I just love chatting with you. Every time we chat, even the most upset mood is calmed down."

She lowered her head and smiled faintly.

Yan Zhenzhen's smile faded, and she looked at the area with a serious expression: "I wonder how Tong Yao and the others are doing?"

Jingle said, "Don't worry, the spread of the spatial rift has been contained. The Refining Heaven Technique of the Artifact Saint Palace can even repair the boundary gate. I think it won't be long before the spatial rift disappears."
