Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Closed-Door Meditation

Jiang Li suddenly realized: “I was wondering why this cultivation technique seems so familiar, it turns out this is the Three Corpses Cultivation Method.”

“It took me a full hour and a half to write such a concise cultivation technique. I thought my ability to compile techniques had declined.”

“Well, we rarely use ‘a full’ and ‘an hour and a half’ together,” Daoist Huiming quietly reminded him.

Jiang Li ignored him: “The cultivation technique of your Jingyu World, ‘The Sorrowful Sky’, is so powerful that it could evolve into a practice that even the Taoist Ancestors could use.”

“I think it’s not our technique that’s amazing, but the fact that you, Daoist Jiang Li, is extraordinarily gifted.” the Dry-bones Demon Lord also muttered softly.

Looking at the cultivation technique, Daoist Huiming was envious: “As good as this technique is, it has many restrictions on cultivation, talent, experience, and wisdom. I’m afraid only beings above the Golden Immortal could possibly practice the Three Corpses Method.”

“Three Corpses… Three Corpses…” Jiang Li kept muttering, as if he had thought of something.

“Dry-bones, do you still want to stay in this place?” Daoist Huiming wanted the Dry-bones Demon Lord to come down from the mountain. The latter’s talent was equal to his, and it was a waste for him to curl up in such a place.

“Don’t persuade me, I don’t want to get involved in this right or wrong. If the Destruction Alliance wants to summon that Earth Immortal monster, I may leave. But now we have Daoist Jiang Li, and with the biggest crisis resolved, I have no reason to go.”

“Huiming, you and I pursue different things, you are righteous and care for all the living beings, while I am from the demonic path and only wish to protect my small group of wife and child. We have different paths, and even if I leave the mountain, I will conflict with you. It’s better for me to stay here, it’s good for everyone.”

The Dry-bones Demon Lord’s answer did not surprise Daoist Huiming. He sighed softly and didn’t try to persuade him further.

“However, if there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Before leaving, Dry-bones Demon Lord said.

“Get lost, as if what I don’t understand, you will know? Acting high and mighty. When we were studying together before, when did you ever outscore me in the tests?”

…

“Master, have you studied with the Dry-bones Demon Lord before?”

“I was forced to study for a while. I told you before that there were two predecessors in Jingyu World who ascended to the status of immortals.”

“Yes.”

“After the two predecessors ascended, they met a Heavenly Immortal in the Immortal Realm, who was both righteous and evil, named Penglai. He took them as his disciples.”

“Later, seeing too many conflicts and impetuousness between the two, which was detrimental to cultivation, Penglai asked them to return to the lower realm and each cultivate a disciple to temper their characters. The two predecessors then took me and Dry-bones as disciples.”

“The two predecessors, still in conflict, used us as competitors and taught us together without reservation, all to prove that their judgment of people was stronger than the other’s.”

“Dry-bones and I were often tested by the two predecessors.”

“Later, Penglai saw that the conflict between the two had almost been resolved, so he summoned them to the upper realm. After Dry-bones and I became masters, we gradually became prominent in both the righteous and demonic paths.”

“In a way, Dry-bones and I can be considered as coming from the same school.”

Returning to Wen Quan’s house, Jiang Li dropped a sentence saying he was going to close up, and then went into the study room without any further movement.

Daoist Huiming looked serious: “It seems that Daoist Jiang Li has gained a lot. Closing up is not a trivial matter, it could be as short as a few years, or as long as a century, all are possible. With Daoist Jiang Li’s level of cultivation, even if he closed up for a thousand years, it would not be impossible.”

“A hundred years?” Wen Quan exclaimed, “Our house only has a property right of seventy years, what if Jiang senior hasn’t come out by then?”

Daoist Huiming silently looked at his disciple.

Is this what I emphasized?

Daoist Huiming found that ever since Wen Quan came into contact with Daoist Jiang Li, his thinking has become so lively that even he could not keep up.

Daoist Huiming said to Wen Qing’er: “During the time that Daoist Jiang Li is in seclusion, I will be responsible for teaching you.”

Although he didn’t think highly of Wen Qing’er, Daoist Huiming still wanted to give Wen Qing’er a hand.

Just as Wen Quan was preparing for several decades later, the sound of the bedroom door creaking and dust falling down, along with Jiang Li walking out from behind the door, interrupted their thoughts.

The next evening, Jiang Li stretched and walked out of the bedroom, joining Wen Quan and others for breakfast.

The retreat was over.

Seeing Jiang Li, Wen Quan sprayed his rice porridge out, his nose was full of it.

Jiang Li looked at Wen Quan with disdain, ruining his appetite.

“Daoist Jiang Li, did you interrupt your retreat?” Daoist Huiming looked at Jiang Li, like he was seeing a ghost.

“No, I’ve finished my retreat.”

“You’ve only been in retreat for thirty hours!”

“Isn’t thirty hours long enough?” Jiang Li felt that he had been in retreat for a long time.

“Did you figure anything out? Ah, never mind if it’s not convenient to talk about.” Daoist Huiming realized that he should not be too curious about this matter.

“No biggie, I can show you.” Jiang Li handed over a small booklet.

Daoist Huiming flipped it through once, thinking he had read it wrong, so he read it again.

“This cultivation technique seems too simple? And the requirements for qualifications are too low. Those with the Five Elements Spiritual Root can cultivate it.”

Daoist Huiming found this booklet completely out of Jiang Li’s style. The previous Three Corpses Method was so obscure that he and Dry-bones had to spend a long time to understand it.

But this booklet was simple as a comic book, anyone with a bit of cultivation could understand it.

Jiang Li chuckled: “If I made it difficult, I’m afraid they wouldn’t understand.”

Two and a half months passed quickly. During this time, Jiang Li supervised Wen Qing’er’s cultivation, while teaching her the most basic knowledge about cultivation.

“How to refine spirit and convert it to Qi?”

“Spiritual Energy combines with Yang Energy, transformed into a cloud-like, weightless product referred to as ‘primeval Qi’. Always strike a balance and continue this.”

“The relationship between essence, spirit, and Qi?”

“Essence, spirit, and Qi, also known as the three treasures. When essence is full, Qi will be sufficient, and the spirit will thrive. If the essence is deficient, Qi will become hollow, and the spirit will be scarce.”

“In thirty breaths, let the spiritual energy circulate through the meridians according to the ‘Qi Pattern’.”

At the end of thirty breaths, Wen Qing’er had just completed a small cycle.

“Not bad, your current level in the nine states qualifies you as a mortal.” Jiang Li was very pleased with Wen Qing’er’s progress.

“Considering how hard I’ve worked, can I take a rest?” Wen Qing’er grumbled, doing horse stance, she wasn’t tired, but she wanted to rest.

Jiang Li was surprised: “I only let you do horse stance for the duration of one incense burning, the time hasn’t passed yet, why do you want to rest?”

Wen Qing’er looked down at the electric mosquito coil, didn’t say anything.

“Fine, fine, then you can rest for a day.” Jiang Li wasn’t an unreasonable person.

Wen Qing’er sat on the couch, looking a bit unhappy.

“What’s the matter?”

“Daoist Jiang, is my aptitude very poor?”

Jiang Li laughed: “Why do you say so?”

“I feel like Qi Cultivation Fourth Level is like a wall standing in front of me, which I can’t push open no matter how hard I try. I have tried many times to break through the fourth level of Qi Cultivation as you instructed, but I have invariably failed. The bottleneck does not loosen at all. Is it possible that I will be stuck at the third level of Qi Cultivation for the rest of my life?”

Instead of speaking comforting words, Jiang Li took out a half booklet.

“Take a look at this, can you understand it?”
