Chapter 280: Teaching the Secret Book of the Five Elements
"I gave you a chance at that time, but unfortunately, within a day, I was expelled from the Qingxuan Sect. Now I am just a casual cultivator and cannot accept disciples of the Qingxuan Sect as my apprentice." Shi Chen shook his head slightly and said helplessly.
"After three years in Qingxuan Sect, I also left the sect and inquired about Master's deeds from many sources. I went to Qisha Market, Dutan Fairy City, and Xiongguan Fairy City, all for the purpose of searching for you, Master. At this time, I am not a disciple of Qingxuan Sect. Please accept me, Master." Li Wentian said sincerely, his eyes full of determination.
Shi Chen thought again and again, and finally said in a deep voice: "Forget about accepting me as a disciple. At that time, I saw that your spiritual roots were not much different from mine. After we met, I gave you a chance to enter the sect. It's not as difficult as it was for me. Now you have reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is much faster than I was when I started practicing. Your opportunity may be better than mine!"
"But I hope to become your disciple!" Li Wentian said unwillingly, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"I have a lot of things to do now. Even if I accept you as my disciple, I don't have time to teach you. Besides, you can't go to the place I want to go with your current level of cultivation. So the matter of becoming my disciple is still considered." Shi Chen smiled and refused.
"I really wanted to become your disciple, which is why I left Qingxuan Sect and came out to look for you after completing the three-year assessment. However, I found you, but you refused to accept me as your disciple!" Li Wentian's face was full of loss, and his eyes revealed deep frustration. He bit his lips tightly, as if trying hard to suppress his inner disappointment.
"I will not accept you as my disciple, but I can teach you the skills I practiced before. I hope you can pass it on." Shi Chen said solemnly. He looked at Li Wentian, as if he saw his own struggle and efforts on the road of cultivation.
"Teach me the technique?" Li Wentian said in surprise, as if he had gained motivation. In the cultivation world, besides fathers and sons passing on techniques, there were also masters and apprentices passing on techniques. Could he be my father...
Bah! My father is dead, and my mother died long ago too. I buried them all myself. He couldn't possibly be...
That is to say, even though he didn't acknowledge our master-disciple relationship to my face, he had already tacitly accepted it, but for some reason he couldn't say it out loud. Li Wentian speculated secretly, a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Thank you very much for teaching me the skills, senior. I will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to your expectations." Li Wentian said respectfully while bowing.
Shi Chen nodded slightly and said, "Since we have this destiny, I am teaching you the technique in the hope that you can go further on the path of cultivation. But you must remember that the path of cultivation is difficult and full of obstacles. You must not be proud or complacent, and you must not commit evil."
Li Wentian said solemnly, "Don't worry, senior. I will definitely keep this in mind."
"You go aside first. After we have dealt with things here and boarded the flying boat, I will teach you the skills." Shi Chen said to Li Wentian, then looked at the group of cultivators behind him.
"Senior, it's like this. There are twelve people on each flying boat, and there are eleven of us left. We..." The leading monk said somewhat embarrassedly.
"You don't have to get on my flying boat, but I can only let you stay on the deck of the flying boat. Are you willing?" Shi Chen said after thinking for a while.
"Yes! Yes! Thank you very much, senior. You don't have to drive the flying boat. The ten of us can just divide it up." The leading monk agreed with a smile.
"That's fine. If the ten of you divide up and drive the flying boat, it will only take an extra quarter of an hour or two. It won't affect your training." Shi Chen said with a smile.
Then he said loudly to the people around him: "Fellow Daoists, please get on the flying boat and follow me to Dayu Continent!"
"Please go first, senior!" many monks shouted.
Shi Chen clasped his fists around him, then flew onto his flying boat with his Taoist partner and activated the formation.
hum!hum!hum!
The Twelve Heavenly Array was activated, and with Shi Chen's flying boat as the center, it flashed outward, and a glowing transparent circle appeared a mile and a half away.
After three breaths, it disappeared into the air, as if it had never existed.
"Let's go together! Take off!" Shi Chen's voice came from the flying boat. The flying boat slowly took off and gradually accelerated.
Hundreds of flying boats also followed Shi Chen's flying boat and gradually accelerated eastward.
Looking at the ten monks standing on the deck of the flying boat, Shi Chen smiled and said, "Please, everyone, please take control of the flying boat. Here is the navigation map. Just follow my instructions. If you encounter any problems, I will appear. If there are other urgent matters, you can also come to the boat warehouse to find me."
"Please make yourself at your own pace, senior. The ten of us will carefully steer the flying boat to ensure a safe journey." The leading monk said respectfully.
Shi Chen nodded slightly, turned around and took Li Wentian into the boat cabin.
In the cabin, Liang Ruyan, Xu Qianying and Huang Ziying were sitting together, waiting for Shi Chen.
"You go to the top room to practice first. I will teach you the Wentian technique here for the next half month." Shi Chen said gently to the three of them.
The three of them didn't respond. Liang Ruyan smiled at Shi Chen and the others, then took Xu Qianying and Huang Ziying to the stairs.
After the three people left, Shi Chen took out two cushions and placed them on the floor of the warehouse, then gestured to Li Wentian to sit cross-legged.
Li Wentian sat on the golden futon and became excited instantly.
"Master..." Li Wentian shouted excitedly.
"Hold your breath and concentrate, don't be distracted. This is a cushion made from the Huangjing spiritual stem. It can help you calm your mind and increase the chance of enlightenment. For the cultivation world, it is an invaluable treasure. Don't miss the opportunity!" Shi Chen said seriously.
Li Wentian was even more shocked when he heard this. He quickly calmed his mind, put aside all distractions and entered a state of concentration as Shi Chen asked.
Shi Chen watched Li Wentian gradually calm down and slowly said, "The technique I'm going to teach you today is called 'The Secret Code of the Five Elements'. It's a technique from the Five Elements Sect ten thousand years ago. It's most suitable for people like us who possess all five elements. However, after practicing this technique, the spiritual energy required is at least five times higher than that of ordinary techniques. Do you want to practice it?"
Li Wentian was slightly stunned, then a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. He said, "Senior, I am willing to practice this technique. I am not afraid of difficulties. I will definitely overcome the problem of the high spiritual energy requirement and live up to your expectations."
Shi Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you are determined, I will begin to explain the secrets of the Five Elements Secret Book to you.
This technique is based on the power of the five elements. By cultivating the five elements' spiritual energy, it achieves balance and integration, thereby exerting powerful power.
First, you must sense the existence of the five elements of spiritual energy and draw the five kinds of spiritual energy of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth into your body..."
Shi Chen explained to Li Wentian in detail the practice method of "The Secret Book of the Five Elements", from how to sense the five elements' spiritual energy, to how to guide the spiritual energy to circulate in the body, and then to how to integrate the power of the five elements to improve the realm. Every step was explained in great detail.
Li Wentian listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, and Shi Chen patiently answered them.
As Shi Chen explained, Li Wentian's understanding of the "Five Elements Secret Book" became deeper and deeper. He seemed to see a cultivation path full of challenges but also full of opportunities unfolding before him.
He secretly made up his mind to practice hard and become a powerful cultivator so as not to disappoint Shi Chen's expectations.
