Confucian and Taoist Cultivation Starting from the Equipment Slot

A scholarly aura emanated from Chen Zhuo, and the borrowed pen danced in the air.

It is carved out of the deep mountains by countless hammer blows and chisels, and burned by fierce fire as if it were nothing.

I fear not being ground to dust, but only wish to leave behind a pure reputation in the world.

Chen Zhuo wrote the entire poem in one go, without the slightest pause.

The moment the poem was completed, a faint, ethereal aura spread out.

Its momentum was even greater than when Xu Yi was formed.

A faint "stone" character appeared in the void.

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, and several scholars quickly recovered and devoted themselves to studying it.

Wu Fu and some others just stared blankly at the scene.

Although they look very impressive, they don't understand anything at all.

Xu Yi was so stunned that he dropped the folding fan in his hand without even realizing it, and muttered something to himself.

"How is this possible? This is the second time he has triggered the writing of heaven and earth, and it has only been a little over a month."

A hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something.

But after glancing at Chen Zhuo, who had entered a state of enlightenment, he closed his eyes and began to contemplate it himself.

"This time, I was simply outmatched in skill, but the opportunity to comprehend this matter is something that can only be encountered by chance."

Senior Sister Zhao Xuelang and Second Senior Brother Li Zhao exchanged a glance, a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

How could their junior brother resonate with just a tiny resonance field?

No, under these circumstances, if his junior brother had accumulated enough experience, he could indeed trigger resonance with just a tiny resonance field.

People in Qingshan County have been echoing this sentiment every day for a long time.

Thoughts flashed by, and they sat cross-legged to contemplate the written words of heaven and earth.

Regardless of who evoked the resonance, the status of the written word in the universe remains unchanged.

You will gain something from understanding it.

As the ancients said, "Reading is always beneficial," and this is exactly the point.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo entered that state again, and just as he was about to use his previous experience to condense the effect with ease.

He keenly sensed that the meaning of the characters in the heavens and earth had not been fully revealed.

In other words, "It's not enough!"

Not enough? Chen Zhuo carefully recalled the situation he had encountered.

The reason for this is that the resonance of my poem has exceeded the upper limit that a single character "stone" can carry.

The usual solution is to add a character to make it a two-character word!

Chen Zhuo hesitated, as he had not anticipated the current situation.

The study of two-character literati was a field he had never explored.

Generally speaking, this is something that one only comes into contact with when one reaches the Xiucai level in the literary and moral education system, so it's a bit too early for him now.

However, he has already mastered the technique, and from the essence of it, he is naturally qualified to come into contact with the two-character scripture.

But this is creating a new literary style, and he has a hard time controlling the degree of influence.

Too strong or too weak is not good.

While pondering, my gaze returned to the character "石" (stone) that was being outlined in the air.

Thinking about the long night outside, a bold idea came to Chen Zhuo's mind.

As one's spirit delves into it, the image of the character "石" (stone) gradually changes.

The phantom image of another character, "坚" (jiān), appeared in front of it.

Unfortunately, the word "firm" only existed for a moment before Chen Zhuo violently stripped it away.

In the end, only a solitary "stone" character remained in the air.

Just as the character "stone" was about to disappear, another force erupted, the very force that Chen Zhuo had violently stripped away earlier.

With the support of this power, the art of writing the character "stone" was no longer limited to the small building; it gradually rose and materialized, enveloping the entire Qingshan County.

People throughout Qingshan County can see the huge character "石" (stone) outlined in the air when they look up.

[Literature (Stone): Increases own defense for a period of time upon activation.]

In the Qingshan County Government Office.

Zhou Wenyuan looked up in that direction, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard outside.

"Lord Zhou, someone has been using the power of the literary tradition improperly. Is it...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Wenyuan interrupted him.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures."

"But, the demons outside..."

"We should always give newcomers a chance!" Zhou Wenyuan said with a strange smile.

"Besides, his master is covering the cost! There's no fear of not getting it back."

The newcomer wanted to say something, but Zhou Wenyuan immediately shut him up.

"My mind is made up!"

Upon hearing this, the visitor silently withdrew.

He was alone in the room again. Zhou Wenyuan looked in a certain direction and said, "Your chance is here. Seize it!"

……

The moment Song Zhiyuan sensed this aura, he reacted swiftly.

The aura spread out, and at the same time, they looked towards the county government office.

He was somewhat surprised that his disciple could actually manifest the characters of heaven and earth throughout the city, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Chen Zhuo himself.

But at this critical juncture, fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune.

The manifestation of celestial and terrestrial characters throughout the city is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task, and even if it were accomplished, it could only be examined for a short time.

The reason why the character "石" (stone) has not disappeared to this day is that it has been continuously supplied by the power of cultural tradition.

"Why hasn't that exploitative Zhou Bapi made a move yet? Is he just letting the power of the cultural lineage be used like this?"

Song Zhiyuan muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

The power of cultural heritage is both precious and not precious.

Strength is gradually restored over time.

Normally, you can just report it in advance and use some money to buy it, but now it's the long night!

What's that guy up to now?

The Chen residence.

Xie Yaoyin was reading scriptures in her study when she suddenly felt something and looked towards a certain spot.

Is the power of cultural heritage being depleted?

At this moment, the little girl Xie Nian asked curiously, "Mommy, Mommy, what are those words in the sky?"

Xie Yaoyin patted her head and said softly, "Those are the characters of heaven and earth. Xiao Nian can see if she can understand anything from them."

"Scripts of Heaven and Earth? Can you eat that?"

Xie Nian broke free from Xie Yaoyin's hand and ran into the courtyard.

Not long after, she ran back.

"Mommy, Mommy, is this what you mean?"

A faint aura of literature appeared around Xie Nian, and the small character "stone" was outlined in the air.

Xie Yaoyin's eyes showed surprise. "Xiao Nian! You actually figured it out?"

"Is this...difficult?"

Xie Nian's eyes were full of confusion.

……

At this moment, Chen Zhuo was unaware of the plans of those outside, but he was feeling quite good.

Because he saw that his proficiency in the character "stone" was constantly increasing.

[Literature: Stone (lv.2 Mastery): Increases own defense for a period of time upon activation, and increases literary strength by 10% during the activation period.]

[Literature: Stone (Level 3 achieved): Upon activation, increases the user's defense and literary strength for a period of time, and generates a one-time defensive barrier when the literary technique is activated.]

In the blink of an eye, his stone script technique reached the third level of mastery.

The effects of literature and art have also undergone tremendous changes.
