My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 2 I really have something to trouble you, Brother
After leaving the menial yard, Xu Mo walked towards his own small courtyard in Lingmiao Peak.

The Tianxuan Sect has one hundred and one main branches, and each branch has different areas of expertise.

The Lingmiao Peak lineage specializes in training spiritual plant masters.

Xu Mo's decision to become a spiritual plant master was also a well-considered one.

He knew very well that he had poor aptitude and average comprehension. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the sect in the future, he must have some strengths.

Popular professions such as alchemy, weapon refining, and formation formation are good, but they require too much talent.

Even if he had endless time to grind, he had no confidence that he could go far on these roads.

But the spiritual plant master is different. As the heir of a flower-growing family, he firmly believes that he must have a bloodline bonus.

Although the spiritual plant master is responsible for cultivating spiritual herbs and plants, in the final analysis, isn't it still farming?
When it comes to farming, I, the flower-growing family, have never been afraid of anyone in the endless space and time of the universe.

I have to say that Xu Mo’s choice was undoubtedly correct.

His previous aliases were always far behind everyone else in terms of cultivation.

However, in terms of the level of cultivating spiritual plants, it is in the upper middle level among the same period.

Obviously he does have some talent for farming.

…………

The rules of Tianxuan Sect are still very humane, such as the residence of disciples.

If a disciple has an elder in his family who was previously a disciple of the sect, and his elder’s previous residence has not yet been allocated.

After joining the sect, this disciple can directly apply to inherit the previous residence of his elders.

Of course, the prerequisite is that they are from the same lineage and are outer or inner disciples.

Taking advantage of this rule, Xu Mo has lived in the same courtyard in Lingmiao Peak for more than a hundred years.

Xu Mo came to his courtyard and was about to open the door to go in when a young man in white clothes with gold edges, with a strong physique and handsome appearance, happened to pass by.

After the young man walked past Xu Mo, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at him with some curiosity.

Then he said, "This Junior Brother looks familiar. May I ask your name? Are you Junior Brother Xu Qing's brother?"

Xu Mo was slightly surprised when he heard this. Xu Qing was his first alias, but he had no impression of the person in front of him.

So he replied hesitantly, "Brother, my name is Xu Ran. My great-grandfather's name is Xu Qing, who joined Lingmiao Peak over a hundred years ago. I wonder if he is the same Xu Qing you are talking about?"

"Great-grandfather?" The young man exclaimed in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face.

He stared at Xu Mo, looking him up and down, muttering, "Alike, really alike, just like Junior Brother Xu Qing. He looks honest and decent. But Junior Brother Xu Qing already has great-grandchildren? Isn't it a little too early to start a family?"

Then he nodded slightly, "That's right, considering Junior Brother Xu Qing's situation, getting married early might not be a bad thing."

When Xu Mo heard the young man's words, he became even more suspicious. He actually knew him?

Then why didn't I have any impression of him at all? This shouldn't be the case!

So he bowed to the young man and said, "Brother, are you my great-grandfather's friend? I wonder what I should call you?"

The young man came back to his senses after hearing this and gave Xu Mo a friendly smile.

"My name is Yi An, and I joined the sect at about the same time as your great-grandfather.

As for our relationship, it's just that I've heard about your grandfather's deeds, have some admiration for him, and have seen him from afar several times.

As for him, he probably doesn’t know me.”

Yi An?

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard the young man's answer, and recalled it in his mind.

Then he remembered that among the outer disciples of Lingmiao Peak's generation, one of the most talented disciples who had the greatest hope of being promoted to the inner sect was named Yi An.

Could it be the person in front of me?

That should be the case. It is said that the genius named Yi An started learning Buddhism more than a hundred years ago, which coincides with the time he mentioned.

But he recalled carefully and found that his pseudonym Xu Qing had no connection with the other party.

His alias has been practicing and farming honestly, and has never done anything out of the ordinary. Does he admire himself?

And this is what a genius said.

When did he become so awesome? How come he doesn't know it?
Could it be that I have traveled through time again?
Xu Mo pinched his face a little unconfidently. Hiss, it hurts.

Then he couldn't help but ask, "I heard from my great-grandfather that when he was in the sect, he just practiced cultivation and farmed every day. It seems that he didn't do anything worthy of praise."

Yi An looked at Xu Mo who was puzzled, smiled gently, and explained:

"That's true. Your great-grandfather devoted himself to cultivation and rarely moved around the sect."

"That……?"

"Even so, your great-grandfather is actually quite famous in the sect, especially in Lingmiao Peak. Almost every disciple of Lingmiao Peak has heard of him."

"Huh?" Xu Mo's eyes widened, and he suddenly began to sweat. What was going on? Could it be that his immortality fruit had been exposed?
Just as he was getting anxious, he heard Yi An continue, "After your great-grandfather entered the sect, it took him more than ten years to complete the Hundred Days Foundation Building. Did he tell you that?"

Xu Mo nodded. This was his personal experience. Whenever he thought about it, he felt a little unhappy, as if he was being targeted by this world.

In this world, the first step in cultivation is "physical training," also known as "building a foundation for a hundred days."

The practitioners in this world believe that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not only a kind of energy for practice, but also contains the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

If ordinary mortals rashly inhale spiritual energy, they will not be able to withstand the violent force of the spiritual energy and will explode and die.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water to wash the skin, flesh, blood, bones, internal organs, etc. inside and out.

Clear out the turbid air in the human body, adapt to the circulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and transform the physical condition into one suitable for spiritual practice.

The time required for this process varies from person to person, ranging from two to three months to one to two years, hence the name "100-day foundation building."

Generally speaking, even for those with poor qualifications, it will not take more than three years to complete this process.

As for Xu Mo, it might be because of the clothes he wore, there was too much turbid air in his body, and the education he received in his previous life was also fundamentally different from that of this world.

Although I have tried my best to learn and accept the culture of this world during the fifty years in the menial house.

However, when practicing, it is still a bit difficult to comprehend the content of the exercises.

All these reasons combined made the process of building his foundation extremely difficult. It took him nearly twelve years to complete the "hundred-day foundation building" in this world. It's tiring to think about it.

Before practicing, Xu Mo knew that his aptitude was poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor.

It is simply unprecedented.

So is there anything to admire about this?

Do you envy your own slow cultivation speed?
Yi An may have seen his confusion, and explained with some emotion:

“You might think it’s no big deal, but rather a shame.

But what I saw was your great-grandfather’s firm determination to seek the truth.

After three to five years, a normal person might start to doubt themselves and give up.

Junior Brother Xu Qing, however, walked on a hopeless, unknown road without hesitation or impatience, and remained steadfast.

"This..." Xu Mo's cheeks heated up when he heard that. He wanted to say that this had nothing to do with his desire to seek the truth, and that was the reason why he was able to persist.

Because he has endless time, he can remain calm and patient.

But he certainly couldn't say that.

At this time, Yi An continued to say:

“When Junior Brother Xu Qing hadn’t established his foundation for many years, many of his peers mocked him privately.

I bet he'd give up before long, but he ended up slapping everyone in the face, including mine.

I have visited Junior Brother Xu Qing from afar several times.

After he established his foundation, his cultivation speed was still much slower than that of his peers.

But he never gave up. He practiced hard every day and studied and cultivated spiritual plants seriously.

No disciple in the entire Lingmiao Peak had ever seen him having fun, and we, the disciples of the same period, went from laughing at him at first to being filled with admiration in the end.

He felt a little regretful when he was eliminated after staying in Lingmiao Peak for thirty years.

We even went to the elders to plead for mercy, but unfortunately they said rules are rules.

Yi An said this and shook his head with some regret.

Xu Mo felt complicated when he heard this. He had never thought that such a thing had actually happened before.

When he first joined the sect under a pseudonym, he felt uneasy, so he tried to be as low-key as possible for fear of getting into trouble.

Moreover, at that time he was worried about not being able to get started in spiritual practice, and his mind was indeed completely focused on spiritual practice.

However, he never expected that by chance, he would establish the image of a determined seeker of truth.

"Is your great-grandfather okay?"

Xu Mo was slightly startled when he heard this, thought for a moment, shook his head and replied with a wry smile:

"I don't know the specifics, but my father told me that he couldn't make any progress in his cultivation many years ago, so he went traveling to seek a breakthrough. After that, there was no news.

But he didn't send any message home, so I guess he should be safe.

If Grandfather knew that there was a senior brother in the sect who remembered him, he would definitely be very happy."

Xu Mo didn't dare to say too much about this, for fear of arousing the other party's curiosity and revealing his true identity.

"Is that so?" Yi An was slightly startled, raised his head and looked into the distance, then nodded and murmured:
"This is indeed something that Junior Brother Xu Qing would do. I hope everything goes smoothly for him on his path of cultivation."

Xu Mo looked at him with complicated feelings, thinking to himself, "You really understand me."

But this feeling of being remembered is really mysterious. Although it is just my own alias, it is still myself.

So he bowed and said to Yi An solemnly: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother."

Yi An waved his hand and said, "Although he is ordinary, he also taught us a lot."

He nodded to Xu Mo and said, "Since I already know the news about Junior Brother Xu Qing, I will go back first.

If you encounter any difficulties in the sect in the future, you can come to me and perhaps I can help you out."

"Since Senior Brother has said so, then Junior Brother really has something to trouble you with."

Seeing Yi An turning around to leave, Xu Mo quickly spoke.

He knew that the other party was just being polite when he said that. If he let him go now, they would definitely have no contact in the future.

This is a potential stock. He has the potential to be an elder. You never know which vest he will use in the future.

You have to quickly follow the trend and keep the relationship. Isn't it natural to become familiar with people through interactions?

When Yi An heard Xu Mo's words, he stopped and forced a gentle smile on his face, "Junior brother, what difficulties have you encountered? Tell me about it."

That smile seemed a little strange and forced in Xu Mo's eyes.

Obviously, the other party probably didn't expect that he was just being polite, but the great-grandson of Junior Brother Xu Qing would actually speak.

Xu Mo pretended not to notice the other party's reluctance, coughed dryly, and thought in his mind what he could do to keep the other party.

Then he bowed to him and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that I've been a little confused during my training recently. I don't know if my choice is the right one."

Xu Mo remembered that a famous person in his previous life once said:

When you want to build a relationship with someone but don't know how to communicate, ask them questions that they are sure to know the answers to.

When the other party answered, look at him with a look of approval and admiration.

"Oh?" Yi An heard this and the smile on his face instantly became natural. "I wonder what you are confused about? Although I haven't practiced for a long time, I have some experience. I will do my best to help you solve your doubts."

When Xu Mo heard this, he knew that the matter was settled. He had only mentioned it before and never mentioned helping, but now he was doing his best.

It turns out that being a know-it-all is a good quality that everyone can't escape.

So he organized his words in his mind and spoke slowly.
