Cultivation: Starting with Sterilizing My Own Father

This training was even more tiring than before. In addition to basic training, they also had to learn how to use their weapons. Wei Zhiying and Xu Ruosheng were in a better position because they had received physical training earlier than everyone else. The others had just started training, and it was a pity that they encountered the intensified training so soon after they started.

Although everyone had a premonition and took the Body Tempering Pill, for those practicing physical techniques for the first time, even the best pills were exhausting. In one afternoon, Wei Lanyin finished a whole bottle of Body Tempering Pills. She could now understand her younger brother's behavior of eating sixty pills in two days.

After barely managing to finish Master Ying's class in the afternoon, the entire Yunyin Lodge was filled with groans when they woke up the next day. No one could get out of bed; their bodies ached all over. The Body Tempering Pill could only strengthen their muscles and bones, but it couldn't relieve the pain. Everyone was also exhausted from yesterday. Apart from Wei Lanyin and Xu Tianci, who received a proper massage and relaxation from their own brothers, the others didn't get a proper rest, since they were all too tired to even lift their arms.

Because of the large number of people and their envy of Senior Brother Yu Xian, the task of asking for leave for all the fellow disciples fell to Wei Zhiying and Xu Ruosheng.

Since they were just children, Wei Lanyin and Xu Tianci, who could barely get up, quietly lay back down when they saw so many people not getting up.

Seeing that his brother didn't agree, Xu Tianci buried his face in the pillow but leaned towards his brother. Xu Ruosheng helplessly blocked his younger brother: "Don't lean on him, or you'll fall off the bed."

Xu Tianci looked up, sniffling and with watery eyes, giving off a "I'll cry if you don't agree" vibe. Xu Ruosheng had no choice but to agree.

Wei Lanyin's situation was much simpler: "Go and ask for leave for me."

"sister……"

A glance followed by a drawn-out "Mm."

"Okay, sister~"

……

Master Ying looked at the fact that only two disciples and eight leave slips had come to the class and said, "So be it. It's the same every year, and I'm used to it. It's just a review of the introductory material. Let them take their leave. Since that's the case, let's part ways now."

The two children were taken aback, seemingly not expecting it to happen so quickly, since it had only been mentioned briefly yesterday. Teacher Ying pointed towards the training ground: "Go to the training ground now. I will send a telepathic message to Xiao En that the training methods are ready. You can come back for class this afternoon."

"Yes." Wei Zhiying and Xu Ruosheng bowed and left. They went from walking to running, only to find that they had originally planned to have a cultural class that morning, but it was changed at the last minute, and neither of them had brought any weapons. Xu Ruosheng was alright, he only had an armband that said "logistics," but Wei Zhiying didn't have a hammer! How could he attend a class without a hammer?!

Xu Ruosheng patted his junior brother's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, Xiaoying, it's just that he didn't bring a hammer." Xu Ruosheng's smile became even gentler, "Master Xiao'en will only give you a beating at most."

Wei Zhiying's lips twitched: Thank you, I feel comforted.

However, Master Xiao En didn't say anything when he saw that the two of them had empty hands. He continued with the basic exercises, such as running laps on wooden stakes, frog jumps in the pit, handstands, push-ups, and horse stance. After finishing the warm-up, Wei Zhiying and the other person finally received their training manuals.

"Xiao Ying belongs to the Earth element, specializing in defense and control. Ruosheng has a spatial spiritual root, specializing in storage and teleportation." Master Xiao En handed the book to the two of them: "You can probably guess that I have a single fire spiritual root, which is of the upper grade. Your Master Ying is also of the upper grade, with a wind spiritual root. We are both at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, although my attributes are different from yours, I can still teach you based on our cultivation levels."

Master Xiao En lightly formed a hand seal with one hand, then slammed it into the ground. As the ground trembled, spikes with flame patterns emerged, each about the height of an adult: "Fire generates earth, which is why these have flame patterns. If you use them, they will be ordinary spikes. This is the spell you will learn today: Rock Spear Cloud Piercing Thrust."

Wei Zhiying looked at the manual for the Earth Spike Technique written in her hand, then looked up earnestly: "Sect Master is truly amazing!"

"Smart. Any name I mention that doesn't match the cultivation method is one that the new sect leader hasn't finished changing since taking office."

Xu Ruosheng looked at the cultivation manual in his hand, which listed the teleportation technique: "But Master, the new sect leader has been in power for quite some time now. Not only has he changed the sect's name, but he's also changed the names of the cultivation techniques. Now, newcomers are unaware, and even the elders are easily confused. More importantly, even the basic techniques are made to sound so sophisticated and advanced. If someone takes the opportunity to change truly powerful and useful techniques into something very ordinary, or even just give them a name completely unrelated to their content, how are people supposed to find them?"

Master Xiao En stroked Xu Ruosheng's soft hair: "There's absolutely no need to worry about that. No one would do that. The reason some names haven't been changed is because all the books in the sect are personally revised by the sect leader. That's why the names of the cultivation techniques are changed slowly."

Since the sect leader personally changed the name, there was nothing to say. Xu Ruosheng silently opened the book.

"Regarding teleportation, I can only demonstrate it using the basic Lingbo Weibu (a type of footwork technique). After all, Lingbo Weibu only appears to be teleportation at first glance; in reality, it's just running fast. But spatial spiritual roots are different. No matter what, you can't see any running. For example, it's like disappearing from the training ground and then reappearing in the Five Grains Hall—it can be done in an instant. But they also have similarities. All agile footwork techniques have the same prerequisite: you have to think about where you want to go and what the path will be. But with spatial spiritual roots, you only need to think about your destination."

Then Master Xiaoen began to demonstrate, sometimes teleporting from in front of Wei Zhiying and Xu Ruosheng to behind them, and sometimes returning to their front. Although Master Xiaoen said it was not teleportation, but just running fast, it was still difficult for the naked eye to catch and looked no different from teleportation.

Master Xiao En used his spiritual power to draw a dividing line: "As I said before, you must attend classes diligently until you have finished reviewing the introductory content. You can also use this month to practice the basic techniques and build a solid foundation. The outer sect is a good opportunity for you to frequently ask me questions. Otherwise, once you enter the inner sect and become disciples of a master, you can choose whether or not to attend morning classes. If there are new techniques, you will have to study them on your own and will not ask questions anymore. However, if your master is in seclusion, you can only ask your senior brothers and sisters. If the attributes are different, you will have to find a way on your own. Now, you two can start practicing. I will teach you step by step."

"Yes, Master."
