In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 301 A Simple Severing of Ties

Xie Lingxin arrived at Seven Star Academy.

He has a class on ancient classics this afternoon, and it's an open class.

Wen Yifu specifically called him to tell him to prepare well for this lesson.

Because his previous research on the "Ancient Eight Trigrams" had already been submitted to the Scripture Masters Association.

To apply for the Morning Star badge, you will definitely need the assistance of the Masters Association.

And his name was placed first.

Wen Yifu is a well-known figure in the field of ancient classics, with a prolific body of work, so his research topic is certainly not a problem.

However, I am just a newcomer. Even though I am already a registered scribe, I need to be careful because it involves the Morning Star badge.

So the Economic Association sent people down to "examine" his qualifications.

However, they are all our own people, and registered practitioners have already undergone rigorous vetting.

Therefore, this review is more of a formality.

As long as the result isn't too outrageous and can be explained reasonably, that's fine.

I entered the classroom and glanced around.

Having taught for so long, he was quite familiar with these students and spoke much more casually.

"Everyone's here? Let's begin the lesson."

"I won't talk about history today, I'll tell you 'gossip' instead!"

Of course, I'm not saying that others are gossiping. Since he came because of the research topic, he simply talked about things related to the research topic.

He had only said a couple of sentences when he saw a group of people filing in through the back door.

There are quite a few people.

Besides Wen Yifu, Cui Hong's grandfather, Cui Pu, was also present.

I don't recognize anyone else.

Xie Lingxin didn't mind, glanced at it, and continued.

What is the Eight Trigrams?

“In ancient times, there was a man named Bao Xi, who is one of the Three Sovereigns I mentioned, Fu Xi.”

"By observing the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, birds, beasts and plants, one can create the Eight Trigrams, thus gaining access to the divine and deconstructing all things."

"The Eight Trigrams are divided into Pre-Heaven and Post-Heaven..."

"The Eight Trigrams of the Pre-Heaven arrangement establish the positions of Heaven and Earth, connect the Qi of Mountains and Lakes, allow Thunder and Wind to interact, and prevent Water and Fire from clashing. The Eight Trigrams are intertwined, and those who follow the past follow the natural order, while those who anticipate the future go against it."

"Heaven and earth determine the order of things, the breath of mountains and lakes communicates, wind and thunder interact, water and fire merge. These eight fundamental elements of heaven and earth combine to form the Eight Trigrams. By understanding the Eight Trigrams, one can know the past and the future."

"The Later Heaven Bagua discusses the phenomena of the Later Heaven, with Qian representing the father, Kun representing the mother, Zhen representing the eldest son, Xun representing the eldest daughter, Kan representing the middle son, Li representing the middle daughter, Gen representing the youngest son, and Dui representing the youngest daughter..."

Xie Lingxin scanned the students in the classroom and noticed that their eyes were darting around, clearly indicating that they couldn't understand what she was saying.

"To put it simply, the Eight Trigrams are what ancient sages observed in the heavens and the earth, and they conform to the laws of nature."

The saying goes: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

"The innate Bagua follows the timing of Heaven, while the acquired Bagua follows the advantages of Earth and the harmony of people."

"If you can understand the mysteries of the Eight Trigrams, perhaps there will be no secrets in this world for you."

His understanding of gossip was previously limited to knowing some written texts.

But after he forged the Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace, he comprehended many of the mysteries of the Innate Eight Trigrams.

However, this is limited to the Eight Trigrams, specifically the subtle changes between the eight aspects of heaven and earth and the five elements.

The idea of ​​knowing the future through the past is too mystical to even contemplate.

"teacher!"

Someone raised their hand and shouted, "You talk so big, does that mean you know everything?"

This guy is a troublemaker.

It's that kid Ye Mengxiong.

Xie Lingxin smiled and said, "I may not know about other things, but I do know that you are definitely going to fail your ancient scriptures course."

Ye Mengxiong immediately wailed, "Ah~ No, teacher!"

This drew bursts of laughter.

Behind the classroom.

Wen Yifu and Cui Pu, who were accompanying them, frowned and said, "The Eight Trigrams have a concept of innate and acquired aspects? This wasn't mentioned in your research proposal."

Wen Yifu shook his head in confusion: "That topic was based on some mysteries revealed by Xiao Xie. Xiao Xie's understanding of the ancient Bagua far exceeds my imagination."

The man nodded: "Hmm, it seems there's no need to continue this investigation."

Although he had not heard what Xie Lingxin said, as a high-level scripture master, he was still able to judge the truthfulness of the content.

Simply put, it means knowing what it is, but not why it is.

He already possessed a certain understanding of similar mysteries, but these mysteries were all based on his own experiences, without any systematic or specific written rules.

Based on what Xie Lingxin said, it seems like getting a Morning Star badge is a sure thing.

"I will get this issue approved by the association as soon as possible. Many of the judges for this Star Badge selection are from the association, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Wen Yifu was overjoyed: "That's wonderful!"

The person nodded, got up and left the classroom, followed closely by the others.

"This young Xie is a promising talent. You should guide him well and help him achieve greater success in the study of scriptures. Don't waste his time on any kind of cultivation or seeking immortality."

"With such excellent talent, why are you so focused on pursuing such an illusory thing? It's utterly absurd!"

After leaving the classroom, the person couldn't help but give them another word of advice.

Wen Yifu could only manage a wry smile.

In the Federation, cultivation is the mainstream practice, but among these scripture masters who are obsessed with ancient scriptures, it has become a heretical path.

Becoming an immortal is too fantastical; from ancient times to the present, there have been very few who have actually succeeded.

Let alone becoming an immortal, being able to break through the twelve barriers and live past three hundred years is already a rare and precious achievement, something many people yearn for but cannot attain.

But Xie Lingxin's talent in studying scriptures is not only amazing; his talent in cultivation is even more amazing.

Wen Yifu dared not say these words in front of this old scholar, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

Xie Lingxin didn't pay much attention to what Wen Yifu and his group said.

For him, having the Morning Star badge was certainly a welcome bonus, but not having it wouldn't matter much.

He intended to rush back to Laoshan to continue chopping firewood, but Liu Sanxian suddenly caught up with him.

He looked a little unhappy.

"Xie Lingxin, do you know that Jinxin is gone!"

Xie Lingxin was taken aback: "What?"

"She's gone!" "Where did she go?"

Seeing that he really didn't know, Liu Sanxian stomped her foot in anger: "You're really going to be the death of me! She's left Far East Star!"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Oh, is that so... Why are you so angry? It's not like you're not coming back."

Liu Sanxian said angrily, "Go back?! She's already dropped out of Seven Star Academy! She's going to Central University!"

"National Central University?"

Xie Lingxin was not surprised by this.

A person with exceptional potential should indeed not be in the Far East Star.

However... he was still a little unhappy.

They just left like that? They didn't even give me a heads-up...

Although he asked himself if there was any real relationship between him and Chen Jinxin, and even the little connection they had when they were children was not his.

But I've gotten used to her calling me "Brother Ling" all the time. So, what's wrong with us? Are we... close friends?

They just left without a word, they really don't take me seriously!

He was a little unhappy, but he just nodded and said, "That is indeed the place she should go. Far East Star was never going to keep her."

"You...! You're going to be the death of me!"

Liu Sanxian stomped his foot and stormed off angrily.

Xie Lingxin picked up her phone, scrolled to Chen Jinxin's name, thought for a moment, and then put it down.

What good would it do to get in touch?

Whether it's her or herself, the highest goal in their hearts must be spiritual practice.

It is impossible to change this for anyone or anything.

fair enough……

With a change of thought, thunder roared in his mind, calming his restless mind and restoring it to tranquility.

But the peace didn't last long before someone started stirring things up again.

"I can't take it anymore! I quit!"

Xie Lingxin had just returned to the old compound on her balance ball when Chen Lingguan called.

"...What's wrong now?"

Chen Lingguan's furious voice rang out: "Those guys are complete idiots! Fools! I've never seen anyone so stupid! They just can't be taught!"

"Hey, I'm telling you, stop wasting your time. They're not cut out for it!"

Although the members of the Xie clan were carefully selected, they were still limited by their backgrounds.

This is my first time experiencing spiritual practice.

His plan to cultivate a large clan did not go very smoothly.

This wasn't the first time Chen Lingguan had complained to him.

Xie Lingxin also realized that she had been a little too hasty.

The Hundred Battles Blood Refinement Technique is indeed a tenth-level technique.

It seems a bit far-fetched to expect to learn this without any prior knowledge.

"Here's what we'll do: have Xie Laogua buy them all a set of basic concept books, and you'll be responsible for teaching them."

"Teach it yourself if you want!"

Chen Lingguan retorted angrily.

"Chen Lingguan, have I been too kind to you?"

"me……"

Upon hearing this tone, Chen Lingguan was immediately frightened.

He realized he might have gotten a little carried away...

He was fine with cultivating the Hundred Battles Blood Refining Technique, but it was only after cultivating the Azure Emperor's Ascent to Penglai that he vaguely realized just how terrifying Xie Lingxin was.

If one can master the Azure Emperor's Stepping on Penglai, not to mention the Federation, at least in the Far East Star, there would probably be few among their peers who could rival them.

But Xie Lingxin easily passed on this knowledge.

This only proves that this thing is nothing special to him.

"Teach me well, and if I'm satisfied, I might consider forging a magic weapon for you."

Xie Lingxin knew that to get oxen and horses to work, you couldn't just use whips; you also had to give them something to look forward to, otherwise they would be too beastly.

"Law, magic, magic weapon?!"

Chen Lingguan couldn't even speak properly.

"Really?!"

Whether it's true or not depends on your performance.

"Brother! Don't worry! Even if he's a rock, I'll soften him up! Just you wait and see!"

"beep!"

Hearing the busy signal, Xie Lingxin shook her head.

If there's no benefit, it's just "feeding"; if there's a benefit, it's "brother".

That damn thing.

"Ugh……"

Xie Lingxin has now gained some insight.

Why should one simplify matters and sever ties in spiritual practice?

Otherwise, any slight movement from those around him would disturb his peace of mind, making him restless and unruly.

It's only because I don't have many people around me. If I had more, what would be the point of cultivating immortality?

That's enough of constantly tinkering with things.

Back in his room, he cleared his mind of distractions, lit the Heart Candle, and entered the Laoshan Domain.

Women, brothers, clans... all of that can go to hell!

……

"coming?"

"Today I will tell you about the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head and the return of the primordial spirit to its rightful place."

Upon arriving at Taiqing Palace, Liu Ruozhuo spoke.

This indicates that he is about to break through.
