Chapter 6: The Mortal World's One Life Heaven (Part 1) Seeking Recommendations!

  (Wiped out! I was originally in the top 20, but somehow got kicked out again. Can't take it anymore! Please recommend, collect and click! Dear friends, powerful!)

  "Lost your mind?" Jung-in asked with a smile.

  Sun Li hastily stood up: "Sorry, lecturer, I..."

  Chong Yin waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, then walked slowly to the front with his hands behind his back, saying as he went: "Today is your first real day of getting in touch with the true meaning of cultivation."

  It's hard to avoid distractions. However, you should know that the aspects of cultivating truth are so complex that even if I explain them to you, you may not fully understand. If you miss my explanation, it's basically impossible for you to learn from books on your own.

  "So, everyone must remember, absolutely cannot be distracted."

  He came back to himself, smiled warmly at Sun Liwen and continued his speech.

  "A smiling face with a heart of a tiger!" Wu Yao scolded again in discontent.

  But Sun Li decided at this moment to believe what Chong Yin said.

  Chong Yin lectured for a full four hours! In between, he gave two opportunities for everyone to take a break.

  After finishing speaking, Chongin gave each person a small booklet.

  Chong Yin said solemnly, "This is the introductory mental method of our sect, 'Tianhe Jue', which is a very precious foundation-building technique. Everyone should go back and practice it seriously, I will check your results tomorrow."

  Seeing Sungjin's expression, everyone vaguely felt something, so they quietly put away the small booklet and slowly left the classroom in silence.

  Sun Li walked alone on the road, Lu Da Tong couldn't help but say: "It seems like it's tomorrow."

  "What's wrong with tomorrow?"

  Su Lan and Jiang Shi Yu both looked at him. Jiang Shi Yu asked: "Don't you know?"

  Sun Li shook his head in dismay.

  Lu Da Tong said: "I've heard that every new batch of disciples will be divided into classes for teaching, I reckon after tomorrow's morning lecture and inspection, they'll be assigned to their respective classes."

  Jiang Shiyu also said: "It's said to be teaching students according to their aptitude, humph, isn't it just pairing good students with good teachers and letting them make rapid progress? As for those with poor aptitude, they're just carelessly muddled along, what achievements they have depend on their fate."

  His qualifications can only be considered ordinary, so it's hard not to feel a little resentful when talking about this.

  Lu Daitong looked around and lowered his voice, saying: "It's not that simple. I've inquired about it. Each student in the A-class group gets one Jiuyi Dan and ten pieces of Ling Stone every month. Each student in the B-class group gets one Jiuyi Dan and eight pieces of Ling Stone. Even students in the C-class group get five pieces of Ling Stone every month. As for the D-class group... they don't get anything."

  "Talent and resources are the two essential elements of cultivation. We're not talented, and even if we had the resources delivered to our doorstep, they would still be inclined towards those more talented disciples. In the future, we won't even have a chance to compete with them."

  "Alright, that's just how Mount Suo has always been. From what I know, it's not just Mount Suo, the entire Cultivation Realm is like this. Moreover, it's said that the truly precious cultivation methods in the Cultivation Realm are divided into four levels: Divine, Heavenly, Earthly, and Human. The vast majority of cultivation methods aren't even worth mentioning, so for Mount Suo to be able to provide a Human-level entry method is already quite good."

  Jiang Shiyin glanced at the other three and seemed to have been prepared, saying: "The four of us being in the same courtyard is also fate. From now on, as long as we support each other and advance or retreat together, we can also compete for a place in the door..."

  Wu Yao sneered: "What fate? Isn't it just that four people with poor qualifications were assigned to live together? Look at the entire Wangshan Villa, how many groups of four people live in one yard?"

  Sun Lim remained silent, while Luo Huan let out a loud roar: "Wu Yao, shut your mouth for me!"

  ……

  Returning home, all four of them were deeply troubled. After a brief farewell, they each returned to their rooms and began to cultivate without delay.

  Sun Li opened the small booklet and looked at it. It was a thin book, "Tianhe Jue", which recorded very little content, very rough and shallow, indeed a basic manual.

  But he had barely read a few sentences when Luo Huan couldn't help but exclaim: "Absurd! The greatest absurdity under the heavens!"

  Luohuan, now that he had spoken up, bluntly pointed out all the mistakes in this book "Tianhe Jue" from start to finish. He must have been holding it back during class and finally felt relieved after speaking his mind.

  After finishing, Luo Huan sighed: "Kid, even if you change everything according to what I said, this crappy 'Tianhe Jue' can only be considered a mediocre technique. Are you sure you really want to cultivate this? If you're willing, we have plenty of superior techniques for you to practice."

  Sun Li was indecisive, this "Tianhe Secret" was also a human-level skill, after all, who should he listen to?

  Just as he was about to go along with Luo Huan, Wu Yao spoke up: "Don't harm Sun Li."

  "Tomorrow is the test, if it's not the Tianhe Lingyuan cultivated from the Tianhe River Jue in his body today, do you think he can pass?"

  It's hard to see that he is actually meticulous despite his rough appearance.

  "Even if it's a renovation, it has to be after tomorrow. And also in the future, we have to be careful not to let others see through our weaknesses."

  Luohuandao said, "In the future, there are indeed a few ways to muddle through, but tomorrow is a bit difficult to handle. After all, Sun Li has not cultivated before... Never mind, you can first cultivate this broken Tianhe Secret Technique. Don't put too much heart into it, just get by tomorrow."

  Sun Li nodded, placed the small booklet in front of him, sat cross-legged according to the instructions, with his left leg outside and right leg inside, five hearts facing upwards, stored his spirit and meditated, exhaling and inhaling the heaven and earth's energy...

  The length of time for the first practice is also a manifestation of talent. The better the talent, the longer the time.

  Most people give up halfway through their first practice and find it difficult to complete a small cycle, let alone a large one.

  Sun Li's first meditation, following the Tianhe secret method, lasted for about an hour, until his breath was exhausted and he retreated from his contemplation.

  He was fairly satisfied with his first attempt at cultivation and had completed almost half of the Small Heavenly Cycle.

  On his fifth attempt, Sun Li finally felt a hint of Heavenly River Spiritual Essence emerging within his body.

  After half a day and night of effort, he enlarged the Heavenly River Spiritual Origin inside his body to the thickness of a strand of hair.

  Look at the time, it's almost class time, Sun Li hurriedly put away his notebook and went out.

  Arrived at the classroom, the disciples had almost all arrived.

  A group of people surrounded Qin Tianzhan, with flattery and fawning sounds constantly coming from them.

  "Brother Qin is really impressive, he was able to complete nine small cycles in his first cultivation!"

  "This talent is against the heavens! I've inquired about it, and in the history of our Su Bao Mountain, the best result achieved by anyone who has cultivated for the first time is only completing ten small cycles."

  "It's just a matter of one move, purely a question of on-the-spot performance. In my opinion, Qin Shixiong's innate talent is not inferior to that senior."

  Sun Li couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, having completed half of the small cycle. He was originally quite satisfied with himself, but compared to others... Alas, this is an innate gap, what can be done about it?

  Apart from Qin Tianzhan, the other disciples were also whispering to each other. Sun Li listened quietly for a moment and let out a slight sigh of relief. His own results were probably average or slightly below, at least he wasn't the worst.

  On the other hand, Tian Yingdong's side was surprisingly quiet, with a few people sitting around him, looking very calm and composed.

  Qin Tianjian was enjoying the flattery from his subordinates, occasionally casting a provocative glance in the direction of Tian Yingdong. Meanwhile, some disciples who had initially remained neutral were gradually leaning towards Qin Tianjian's side.

  Tian Yingdong suddenly smiled, and one of his subordinates immediately asked loudly: "Brother Tian, what was the result of your first cultivation? How many small cycles have you completed?"

  Tian Yingdong looked embarrassed: "Only thirteen, I heard that in the Xiu Zhen realm, some seniors had completed fifteen small cycles on their first try. Tian Yingdong felt ashamed, still not as good as his seniors..."

  Qin Tian Jian's triumphant voice suddenly disappeared, and Qin Tian Jian, who was just full of pride and satisfaction, instantly turned pale!

  Tian Yingdong's move was ruthless enough, and not to mention his achievements far surpassed Qin Tianjian. Just talking about the target of comparison, Qin Tianjian compared with the seniors in the sect, while Tian Yingdong was a senior in the cultivation world. The two men's realms were vastly different when displayed in front of the disciples, and Qin Tianjian fell short.

  Sun Lijian quietly watched from the side, Wu Yao's voice echoed in his mind: "Young man, are you envious?"

  Sun Li shook his head: "No."

  The biggest difference between him and Tian Yingdong is his calm attitude.

  "They are just temporary pleasures, what I seek is a lifetime of pleasure!"

  "Good, I didn't misjudge you!" Luo Huan smiled.

  A deliberate footstep sounded, and the disciples quickly quieted down. Chong Yin appeared at the door with a smile: "Hello everyone!"

  "Good job!"

  "It seems that everyone's results are good, one by one with a red glow on their faces. Alright, I won't waste any more time, let's start, everyone line up outside the door and come in one by one."

  The disciples all went out with a whoosh and lined up in a long dragon shape at the door.

  Chong Yin placed his fingers on the disciple's pulse gate and could know the result. First, he asked the disciple's name and then wrote it down in a book on one side.

  It only took one and a half hours to complete all the checks. Chong Yin waved his hand: "Everyone go down and rest first, the results will be announced early tomorrow morning."

  Except for those disciples with wisdom roots, others were worried and returned to Wangshan Villa with their heads down.

  Lu Datong and the other two people gathered around Sun Lishen again, Lu Datong asked: "Sun Lishen, how many Tianhe Lingyuan have you cultivated? I only have a strand of hair as thick."

  Sun Li smiled wryly: "I'm just like you."

  A glint flashed in Jiang Shiyu's eyes: "I'm getting better, about the size of a sesame seed now."

  Su Lan nodded: "I'm only slightly better than Shi Yu." Although he said it humbly, the joy and pride in Su Lan's expression couldn't be hidden.

  Every single one of the disciples, including Sun Li, is aiming for the third layer of the Mortal Realm. Especially those with poor qualifications, staying in Su Bao Mountain after seven months is the most realistic goal.

  Jiang Shiyu was somewhat silent, apparently in this intentional or unintentional four-person competition, starting late and falling behind made him a bit disappointed.

  "Wu Yao's voice rose again: 'What do you feel?'"

  Sun Li replied calmly: "No feeling."

  "Oh?"

  Sun Li was silent for a moment in his mind, then said: "I have pride in my heart. They are not my opponents at all, even Tian Yingdong and Qin Tianjian are not worthy of being my opponents. From the beginning to the end, I understand this point: My opponent is only myself!"

  Wu Yao fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly: "Young one, your moral integrity is unmatched!"

  Back in the small courtyard, the four of them still didn't say anything and parted ways. Sun Li returned to his own hut, sat cross-legged, but instead of opening the small booklet of "Tianhe Secret", he solemnly asked in his mind: "Seniors, what is a suitable technique for me? Please bestow it upon me!"

  Luo Huan immediately said: "I have the ultimate divine immortal skill 'Hundred Soldiers Tempering Body Technique', which is considered the best in basic skills!"

  "Wu Yao: "Hmph! You think your trashy Hundred Soldiers Body Tempering Technique can make you the number one? My Infinite Techniques and Laws are the real deal, the true number one!"

  "My goodness!"

  "My goodness!"

  “……”
