Chapter Eighteen: Learning and Knowing It

  The valley is lush and green, with vines climbing up the rocks. The air inside the valley is cool and refreshing, while the outside world is scorching hot. Even in this sweltering heat, the valley surrounded by climbing plants only slightly reduces its intense rays.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, this group of people who are like celestial beings temporarily stayed in the valley to rest and recover.

  After spending two days together, Ling Sheng had basically figured out the strengths and weaknesses of this group of people.

  This group of inner disciples from Yunxuan Gate are all figures in the realm of air control, each with their own methods.

  However, under the same cultivation realm, the depth of Tao is also different, and the methods of fighting are also unique.

  Some people are exceptionally talented, some are dull and mediocre, some have been in the current realm for decades, while others have just entered this realm...

  Taking Ling Sheng's family as an example, the upper part of his body's Xuan Dan has only opened one orifice, which is the initial entry into the Yu Qi realm. If nine orifices are opened, the Yu Qi realm will be greatly perfected, enough to touch the Yun Gang realm.

  According to Ling Sheng's calculations, Su Bai's true energy and magical powers are equivalent to Ling Sheng's own sword embryo with nine major acupoints fully opened. And Lin Yun, this seemingly weak woman, her cultivation is roughly equivalent to Ling Sheng opening seven or eight acupoints.

  These two are both exceptionally talented, not old in years, yet already approaching the Cloud Cover realm. If one really must compare, thick accumulation and thin emission, self-restraint at the boundary, still, Su Bai who has cultivated to the completion of the Great Qi is even more outstanding.

  But the old man with white hair didn't have that kind of innate talent, yet he had cultivated for dozens of years. His true energy was equivalent to Ling Xian's after opening five apertures. This was the result of the old man's decades-long hard work and accumulation.

  The seemingly majestic middle-aged man in black clothes, his Tao and the white-haired old man are not much different, but compared to the white-haired old man who is several decades younger, the middle-aged man is obviously more talented.

  As for Zhao Ling, his Dao is roughly equivalent to three Qigong cavities.

  Ling Sheng's calculation of so-called Tao Xing is only in the same realm, with Fa Li being thick and fixed, but real Dou Fa is different.

  For example, Ling Sheng himself only opened a single aperture and could only release one sword energy with three breaths. However, if he were to exert his full strength, relying on the sharpness of his sword energy, Zhao Ling, who was far superior to him in terms of cultivation, would undoubtedly be killed. Even the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man might not necessarily have an advantage in Ling Sheng's hands.

  Lin Yun's Taoist skills were the most advanced, and his abilities were not small, perhaps he could restrain Ling Sheng.

  As for the rest, including that girl, they were all just entering the realm of air control, but Ling Sheng knew in his heart that these people had been stuck in the realm of air control for many years, with very little progress, and even stagnating.

  However, the "Jian Qi Tong Xuan Pian" is different. This kung fu method is sharp and revealing, as long as the true energy is sufficient and the heart is strong, one can open up the acupoints on the White Golden Sword Elixir without any bottleneck, and cultivate all the way with great momentum, like breaking through bamboo.

  "A cultivator of the noble aura boundary is rare, one in ten thousand. Walking among the worldly, meeting thousands and tens of thousands of people, it's not necessarily guaranteed to meet even one. How did I coincidentally encounter a whole group?"

  Ling Sheng felt a bit helpless in his heart, actually, he originally intended to cultivate alone and be a recluse. But having encountered such a great opportunity, he didn't want to miss it either.

  For the past two days, Lin Yun has been telling me everything she knows one by one.

  Of course, Ling Sheng mainly inquired about the common sense of cultivation, some obstacles on the path of cultivation, and various examples of fighting with others. As for other alchemy, what heavenly talents, supreme spiritual medicine, and other sects' kung fu figures, Ling Sheng slightly tactfully shifted to the aspect of cultivation. After a long time, Lin Yun also knew that he was fundamentally uninterested in other knowledge, so she wholeheartedly told him about the aspects of cultivation.

  For two days, almost all of the time was spent with Lin Yun explaining his insights on cultivation, common sense examples, and various key points about fighting.

  Although Lin Yun was from a large family, he was also asked by Ling Sheng, who was eager to learn, and got a headache in two days.

  Not far away, Lin Yun stood under the tree, her skirt fluttering as if she was about to take flight, looking very elegant.

  "This Ling Sheng, definitely not an ordinary person, all he asked about was the way of cultivation, the theory of Dou Fa, and as for other things, he didn't care at all. Obviously a person obsessed with cultivation. With his understanding in cultivation, he might be a master of Qi refinement, but he couldn't even understand these common knowledge, instead, it seemed like he was a lone cultivator who had been exploring on his own, this point made people puzzled and incomprehensible."

  Lin Yun slightly furrowed her brow, which was quite pitiful. She thought to herself: "For the past two days, I've already told him everything I know about cultivation and my insights. I even gave him some classic texts. It should be enough for him to digest for a while."

  "Sister Lin."

  Just as Lin Yun was feeling helpless, Ling Sheng walked over again, with a joyful expression on his face, and said: "The classics given by the master sister, I have all seen them, do you know if there are any other such classics?"

  "This?" Lin Yun sighed, "Junior brother must not be impatient for quick success and immediate gain. Just watch for a while, but you should also think deeply about it. Wait until you fully understand it thoroughly before coming to ask me again."

  "Master sister doesn't know, these two days, I have been watching day and night, plus some points from master sister, I have already understood thoroughly. I was just thinking of asking master sister to continue explaining the key points of cultivation and fighting skills." Ling Sheng said.

  "You... have you already understood thoroughly?" Lin Yun's face showed a look of surprise.

  Ling Sheng knew that in the past two days, others had already seen through his cultivation, so he didn't hide it and said: "These classics are not abstruse, naturally can be understood clearly, among which various fighting methods and difficult passes to cultivate, make people deeply infatuated, however, they can't be considered too profound."

  "It's indeed not profound." Lin Yun sighed, thinking to herself: "These classics encompass even the boundaries of Lianyun Prefecture, and others might not be able to finish reading them in two days, let alone grasp their subtleties."

  If it were an ordinary person, even if they wanted to flip through these classics, it would take at least ten days or half a month. As for comprehension, even if one devotes their whole life to studying them, they may not necessarily gain much understanding.

  However, Ling Sheng was a cultivator after all, with keen senses and a clear mind. Whatever Lin Yun said, Ling Sheng had already committed to memory, and having read the classics, he had not forgotten them.

  However, turning through it once does not necessarily mean understanding it.

  Taoist classics have also flowed into the secular world, and some university scholars have read the classics countless times, thousands of times, but it is still difficult to describe, even if they are asked to write them out silently, it is still effortless for these university scholars, yet they still find it difficult to understand Taoist classics.

  Kelong Sheng had only heard it once and read some classics, but he was able to comprehend all that he had heard over the past two days.

  Frightening to hear!

  Even if it's a Taoist priest, it's still quite shocking.

  Perhaps it's because Ling Sheng has a good understanding, or perhaps it's because Ling Sheng is eager to learn...

  Whatever the reason, the fact is that Ling Sheng has already grasped enough knowledge and classics to study for a lifetime.
