Gou Zai Qingluo Cave Heaven Cultivation

It's one thing for others to look down on you, but the worst part is that you yourself are not up to par!

Zhou Baoqing felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.

In my past life, I heard of someone who lied about being admitted to Peking University. His family believed it and happily threw a banquet. However, the admission notice turned out to be fake, and the whole family fled overnight.

I can't bear the shame!

I initially thought it was just a joke, but I never imagined that such an absurd thing would happen to me.

If it weren't for the Green Snail Cave, he would have wanted to run away overnight!

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't bumped my head like that, I wouldn't have been able to awaken the mystery of my unborn child. According to the original process, I would have failed the exam, been expelled from the clan school, and that would have been the end of everything, wouldn't it?"

"Hmm? So it seems Wang Gou'er is my lucky star after all?"

Zhou Baoqing was speechless and shook his head.

The past cannot be retrieved.

The most urgent task is still spiritual practice, to avoid being struck by lightning.

He calmed himself down and continued to exhale and inhale.

The Zhou clan school required students in the Chengdao class to complete 365 daily lessons, corresponding to the number of days in a cycle, which symbolizes the "year".

Speaking of which, there are also taboos surrounding this breathing exercise.

such as.

Avoid breathing in the wind, as the wind disperses and inhaling it will cause the meridians to become like a sieve. There is a saying that "avoid the wind as you would avoid an arrow."

Avoid breathing exercises after a full meal, as the breath from food clashes with the breath of the fetus. In mild cases, this can cause indigestion and abdominal distension; in severe cases, it can cause turbid qi to rise to the pericardium.

Avoid breathing exercises when you are sad or happy, as this will cause your emotions to be drawn into your meridians, which will eventually lead to stagnation and what is known as "nodules" in your past life.

Avoid breathing in polluted air, such as in sickrooms, stagnant pools, or mass graves. These places have turbid air and heavy yin energy, and inhaling them will pollute your very being.

It is best to choose a quiet place such as a mountain spring, in the forest, or under an ancient pine tree.

Zhou Baoqing's Qingluo Cave Heaven is the purest spiritual place for breathing exercises in the world, starting from the top level, which is the envy of countless cultivators.

I don't know how long it's been.

Once you complete 365 cycles of the microcosmic orbit, today's lessons are considered finished.

Zhou Baoqing opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and energetic, not tired at all.

He rolled up his wide sleeves and rubbed his arm, producing a long strip of black mud that smelled foul, just like the filth from his belly button.

It is not a mixture of dust from nature and skin metabolism, but rather "filth" expelled from deep within the body during breathing exercises.

The initial results of the cultivation efforts are promising.

This also gave Zhou Baoqing some confidence in his spiritual practice.

All ten fingers were wrinkled, like deep ravines, and slightly numb and painful, clearly because they had been soaked in the spiritual water for too long and the skin couldn't take it.

He secretly became aware of his surroundings.

It seems I can't spend too much time in the spiritual waters anymore; I have to proceed gradually.

Just as he was about to leave the cave, looking at the somewhat empty ten-zhang space, a thought suddenly came to mind.

Can other creatures be brought into this Green Snail Cave?

It would be a waste to use this blessed land and water area only as a place to nurture the soul.

It would be better to raise some spirit fish, spirit plants, spirit insects, and the like.

If I can learn the "Soil Control Technique" and the "Water Control Technique" in the future, I might be able to create mounds of green sand, with no gaps on all sides, drain the spiritual water, fill in the soil to create land, build an artificial island, cultivate the land, and raise spiritual pets.

Of course, this is something.

We need to see if we can raise fish and plants first.

To verify this hypothesis.

With a thought, Zhou Baoqing left the cave and appeared in the courtyard, soaking wet.

I casually plucked a piece of pennywort from the fishpond, roots and all.

This plant resembles a copper coin, and is emerald green. Although it is an ordinary plant, it can survive in both water and on land, and its vitality is extremely strong.

"Return."

"Whoosh."

The next moment, he reappeared in the cave, and the piece of copper coin grass was lying quietly in his palm.

"It really can be brought in!"

Zhou Baoqing was overjoyed. He used his big toe to pinch the money plant and roughly buried it in the green sand.

The water surged and then calmed down again.

Unfortunately, there are no visible changes in the newly planted pennywort yet.

There's no rush, let time take its course.

Back in my room, I took off my wet clothes and snuggled into my warm bed.

I've been sleeping too long these past few days and I'm not sleepy, so I might as well read a book and become a bookworm.

By the light of the luminous pearl.

Zhou Baoqing pulled out several dusty books.

It includes works such as "Zhou Clan Studies: The Chapter on Fetal Breathing", "Huang Ting Jing", "Qing Jin Talisman Manual", "Qing Jin Array Studies", "Qing Jin Weapon Repair", "Southern Border Spiritual Herb Manual", and "Southern Border Map"...

He thought for a moment and then took out the "Map of the Southern Border" to look at.

Although he had absorbed the memories and was no stranger to Nanlin Bay, this place was too small, and he longed to know a wider world.

The book's cover is simple and unadorned, seemingly encompassing the world and its mountains and rivers. Upon closer inspection, one can see the changing seasons of the trees and mountains, the rolling clouds, and the flowing rivers, giving it the grandeur of a vast ocean that embraces all rivers.

He understood.

"This book is also a treasure. It may have fallen into the mortal world and been regarded as a book of creation by ordinary noble families."

In cultivation families, it's nothing more than a teaching tool for ordinary students.

The book states that the southern region of the marshland has three major water systems: the East Marshland, the Central Lake, and the West River.

For example, Qinglin Bay is located in the southern branch of the Zhonghu water system, which is part of the Qingshui River. It is rich in water and suitable for cultivators with water spirit roots.

Beyond the Southern Border lies the Central Plains, the Eastern Continent, the Western Heaven, and the Northern Sea. Even if a roc spreads its wings, it would be difficult to fly all over the cultivation world in this lifetime.

"Map of the Southern Territory" is not dry at all. The book is written from the perspective of a Golden Core stage sword cultivator who travels across mountains and rivers and experiences many dangers. It introduces geography and nature, with a dramatic plot and a light writing style.

Just like...

"Three hundred li further south is the Red River Bay, where the water is red and there is a beast that looks like a fish with a snake's tail, red scales and a white belly. It is called the Snake Dragon. When it sees a handsome cultivator, it speaks human language and wishes to entrust its life to him."

Upon seeing that the swordsman Bai was ugly and had bones in his skin, he was furious and stabbed him in the abdomen with his sword, killing him.

Its scales can be used to make armor, but eight or nine out of ten who try to take them will die.

Zhou Baoqing knew that this was to inspire students to aspire to the Dao, which is why he specifically wrote about how a swordsman could kill the great ferocious creature in the water with a single, seemingly casual sword strike.

In reality, an ordinary cultivator would face a near-certain death if confronted by this ferocious beast.

However, they couldn't help but be attracted by the descriptions of Golden Core sword cultivators in the book, and longed for it.

We cultivators should roam the world with our swords, feast on spiritual flesh, drink gourd wine, and live a carefree life between heaven and earth!

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

For now, we should focus on steady development and avoid being overly ambitious.

After finishing reading a book titled "Map of the Southern Territory," I closed the book, and a thin ray of dawn was already shining through the window.

Zhou Baoqing closed his eyes and silently recalled what he had just read. To his surprise, he could remember most of it.

"The effects of the 'spiritual water' are so remarkable?"

"No, that's not right. It should be that my three souls have become one, and my divine soul is naturally stronger than others."

This is a hidden perk.

He was somewhat happy, and a little smug.

My achievements today are all thanks to my hard work and sweat!

At this pace, after reading it carefully two or three more times, you should be able to memorize the whole book.

However, he did not do that.

Zhou Baoqing's current goal is simply to "pass", so he must not neglect any subject and must first go through all the assessment subjects.

He stretched and then started reading "The Qingjin Talisman Manual" again.

The sunlight shifted and reflected in my eyes, making them gleam.

The young boy held the book, his head slightly nodding, his eyes focused, his clear pupils taking in the spirit of mountains and seas, and the mysteries of immortals.
