Lingfeng could clearly feel Zhi Lian's domineering palm wind right behind his neck. He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking that Zhi Lian was so focused on cultivation that he had forgotten the greatest taboo in martial arts. 0
 
Attacking someone's neck without completely subduing them or diverting their attention would not only be ineffective but would also expose one's own vulnerabilities. 0
 
Lingfeng knew that his speed was not comparable to Zhi Lian's, but at this moment, Zhi Lian was completely exposed behind him. He was solely focused on attacking Lingfeng and did not realize that Lingfeng's martial arts foundation was strong and that he had not been mentally confused by the Spell. 0
 
At that moment, Lingfeng suddenly spun around quickly, grabbing Zhi Lian's palm with one hand while swiftly stepping back a few paces to reduce Zhi Lian's attack range. Then, with a strong grip, he executed a beautiful joint lock around Zhi Lian's neck, restraining him and preventing any further action. 0
 
Zhi Lian struggled for a moment, but he could no longer muster any strength and had to relent, slumping down like a deflated balloon. He lowered his head and said, "I admit defeat!" 0
 
Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, ecstatic as he released Zhi Lian, panting heavily and looking proudly at Qing. 0
 
"Zhi Lian, you may leave now!" Master Qing said. 0
 
"Yes, I take my leave!" Zhi Lian bowed respectfully to both Qing and Lingfeng before exiting. 0
 
"Master," Lingfeng slightly cupped his fists in salute, still feeling exhilarated. 0
 
"I already know your level of martial arts," the Master said. "However, your strength is still lacking; this is also due to your age. Nevertheless, you are now qualified to learn the Cultivation Notes." 0
 
Lingfeng felt a surge of joy; it seemed that his five years of effort had not been in vain. 0
 
"However," the Master added, "while practicing the Cultivation Notes, you must not neglect physical training." 0
 
"Yes, I will remember!" Lingfeng immediately replied. 0
 
In fact, although the Cultivation Notes were merely a manual for building a cultivator's body, the content within was not easy to understand. The Cultivation Essentials were divided into six levels, each corresponding to a chapter. The first chapter discussed the method of accumulating True Qi, similar to the energy meridian Dantian. The requirement of this chapter was for the practitioner to cultivate some degree of True Qi. 0
 
For new practitioners, cultivating True Qi was often quite difficult. The primary factor for generating True Qi within the body was having excellent physical quality. Through continuous training, the energy from various joints in the body would transform into True Qi. Practitioners could store the True Qi they generated in their Dantian area to enhance their power. This was also why most newcomers could not obtain this Cultivation Notes. 0
 
 
One reason new students cannot obtain this manual is that in order to meet the physical requirements, they need to train. However, this often takes time, and age will increase. Therefore, most people's ages exceed the usage range of this book, akin to senior students learning knowledge meant for preschoolers. 0
 
Following Master Qing's instructions, Lingfeng stripped down completely. Then, in the afternoon when the sunlight was not too strong, he sat on the rooftop to meditate, relaxing all his joints and muscles. 0
 
The warm sunlight poured over Lingfeng, wrapping him like a soft woolen blanket. Two birds perched on the Old Banyan Tree in the courtyard, quietly observing the dark-skinned boy on the roof. 0
 
Having been here for a while and enjoying good food and drink, Lingfeng had become somewhat normal; at least he was no longer as thin as before. His skin remained dark, but the subtle muscle lines were evident under the sunlight, glistening with a sheen. 0
 
"How comfortable!" Lingfeng thought as he enjoyed the moment. 0
 
At this time, Lingfeng had achieved full-body relaxation. His muscles were no longer tense, and there was space between his bones. With the gentle afternoon sunlight shining down, Lingfeng gradually entered a state of sleepiness, feeling increasingly lazy. 0
 
After an unknown amount of time, Lingfeng suddenly heard a stone whistling through the air towards his face. 0
 
Lingfeng's ears twitched quickly; with his eyes closed and without thinking, he leaned back. The stone flew past his nose. 0
 
"Haha, is Lingfeng practicing?" Azure Vine was quite pleased with Lingfeng's evasive maneuver and couldn't help but chuckle. 0
 
"Ah, Brother!" Lingfeng exclaimed joyfully. He hadn't seen Azure Vine for quite some time and missed him dearly. He hurriedly climbed down from the ladder, looking somewhat awkward. 0
 
"Seeing how quickly you dodged just now, I thought you had already mastered this manual while I was away!" Azure Vine laughed. 0
 
Lingfeng scratched his head, his youthful face showing more color. "How could that be? I've just started practicing the first layer. Waiting has nearly driven me crazy; I've memorized the first chapter perfectly but don't know how to practice it. Fortunately, the master taught me how to cultivate!" 0
 
"Oh? So how do you practice the first chapter?" Azure Vine asked without surprise. Although his relationship with the master was still somewhat strained, the master did not hold grudges against him; their dynamic was more like an older brother humbling himself before a younger brother. Thus, before leaving, Azure Vine specifically instructed the master to take good care of Lingfeng. 0
 
Without hesitation, Lingfeng recounted what the master had taught him. "The first chapter of Cultivation Notes discusses how to accumulate True Qi. During cultivation, one needs to achieve relaxation in all joints so that True Qi can continuously accumulate in the Dantian. At the same time, one must constantly increase physical training to enhance True Qi within." 0
 
Azure Vine nodded in satisfaction and asked again, "From what I saw earlier, it seems you've already achieved full-body relaxation and reached a state of being free from distractions; that's not easy." 0
 
 
Lingfeng did not understand what Azure Vine meant by "heart without external distractions," so he asked, "What does it mean to have a heart without external distractions?" 0
 
"Oh, what is meant by a heart without external distractions is that when the body reaches a state of relaxation, one often enters a meditative state. In a safe situation, a person in a meditative state will not be disturbed by external factors; this is what it means to have a heart without external distractions. However, when faced with danger, a person in a meditative state can still sense the impending danger, just like how you beautifully dodged my attack earlier." 0
 
Lingfeng nodded thoughtfully and quickly said, "I just heard a loud sound rushing towards me, but I didn't have time to open my eyes. I only felt a huge object flying towards me, so I dodged it!" 0
 
"You didn't open your eyes?" Azure Vine exclaimed in surprise, murmuring, "Could it be that you can perceive the existence of objects with your heart?" 0
 
What Azure Vine referred to was the unity of heart and person, meaning one can sense the existence of objects without using their eyes to observe. However, this ability requires years of cultivation and training. Generally speaking, ordinary people do not spend time cultivating such states of mind for two reasons: first, clear-sighted individuals do not need to rely on their hearts to observe specific things. Second, when cultivators reach a certain level, they can naturally sense the presence of things through the fluctuations in air or water flow. But Lingfeng, having received no training, could naturally possess this ability, which astonished Azure Vine. 0
 
"But I can only reach this state when my body is highly relaxed; I can't do it in other situations," Lingfeng added. 0
 
Azure Vine remained silent and nodded thoughtfully. After a while, he said, "The fifteenth of August is approaching; the Cultivation Conference will soon begin. I want to ask if you are interested in attending?" 0
 
Lingfeng had heard of the Cultivation Conference, which was held once every fifty years. However, participants needed to have a certain status; for example, those attending must be sect leaders or above—like sect masters or Peak Masters. Ordinary disciples had no right to participate, and since Lingfeng was new and only regarded as being on the same level as Azure Vine due to his association with him, he really had no qualifications to attend. 0
 
Lingfeng thought Azure Vine was joking and perked up his ears to ask again, "What do you mean?" 0
 
Azure Vine patiently repeated his words, "I want you to attend the Cultivation Conference and see what it's like. You should know that this is an opportunity that is hard to come by!" 0
 
Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would surely be many good things at the Cultivation Conference, and he could take the chance to gain some benefits. At that time, he could reward Monkey Head a bit and learn some spells from Wood Peak, which would definitely be worth it. He immediately replied, "Of course I'll attend." 0
 
That evening, with Azure Vine's help, Lingfeng finished translating the second chapter. Then he sat on his bed trying to feel the True Qi within him. However, following Azure Vine's instructions left him with no sensations at all. His Dantian felt empty; aside from feeling slightly bloated from dinner, there was none of the warm current that Azure Vine had mentioned. 0
 
"Toot~~!" A long fart echoed from beneath Lingfeng, instantly filling the air with an unpleasant odor. 0
 
Azure Vine frowned and waved his hand in front of his nose, pained as he said, "I told you to feel the warm current inside your Dantian, not to let out foul gas!" 0
 
Lingfeng sighed in relief; his flushed face gradually returned to normal as he said with lingering feelings, "I ate too much for dinner and feel a bit bloated, but other than that I don't feel anything else." 0
 
 
The foul smell in the air finally dissipated, and Azure Vine lowered the hand that had been covering his nose. He pinched the Dantian area of Lingfeng, realizing, "I almost forgot, you can't generate True Qi in your body at all, let alone accumulate it." 0
 
"Ah~~!" Lingfeng slumped onto the bed like a deflated balloon, feeling somewhat disappointed. "What should I do then? The Sect Master said that having True Qi circulate throughout the body feels great!" 0
 
Azure Vine lightly patted Lingfeng on the head. "Don't think about enjoying it just yet. It seems that the training methods I've taught you are outdated. From now on, wear twenty kilograms of armor, run from the mountain to eat, and then run back. Every afternoon, you need to sit on the roof and meditate. No matter how it feels, let's check the results after a month!" Azure Vine's tone was not very confident; clearly, he was unsure whether this method would help Lingfeng generate True Qi. 0
 
However, for Lingfeng, twenty kilograms was already quite heavy. Moreover, the round trip from the Main Hall to the Auxiliary Temple was over ten miles. With Azure Vine supervising Lingfeng as he ran, ate, and returned, it was indeed not easy. 0
 
Thus, Lingfeng persisted for three days. Every night when he lay in bed, he felt incredibly relaxed and soft all over, sleeping soundly through the night. 0
 
On the fourth day, August 15th arrived. 0
 
Lingfeng changed into a new Robe and strapped on a Bagua Sword. 0
 
The Cultivation Conference was held at the altar behind the Main Hall. Normally, disciples were not allowed to enter without permission except for rituals. 0
 
On this August 15th, disciples were bustling around inside and outside. The large Immortal Peach on the plates held by the disciples made Lingfeng's mouth water. 0
 
Before long, the disciples exited the altar in the back mountain one after another, while Lingfeng swaggered in. Some disciples who did not recognize Lingfeng couldn't help but stare in astonishment. 0
