"Young Master, how was it? Did the people from the Sunset Sect come?" Old Ma curiously asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Is the Young Master going to the Sunset Sect then?"
Jiang Yuan smiled: "No!"
"Ah? Why?"
"Because the disciples of the Sunset Sect do not appreciate my talent!"
"Ah?" Old Ma was surprised, then hurriedly comforted, "Young Master, it's fine! With your talent, there's nowhere you can't go. If not the Sunset Sect, there's still the Moonfall Sect. If they don't want you, it's their loss."
Jiang Yuan smiled noncommittally.
"Uncle Ma, there's no need to comfort me. I'm not so fragile! I have more confidence in myself than any of you!"
After saying that, he beckoned: "Uncle Ma, I'm going to practice!"
Then he headed straight for the backyard.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't seem to be pretending, Old Ma immediately relaxed.
"That's good! I also believe that the Young Master is better than anyone else, not inferior to Zhao Li from Dashun Prefecture at all!"
"Zhao Li? You underestimate the young master!" Gu Mo spoke up, his eyes showing a hint of fiery battle spirit as he looked at Jiang Yuan leaving.
A few days ago.
After fully comprehending the sword intent, he had a battle with Jiang Yuan.
At that time, he thought that by understanding the sword intent, he would be invincible under the ninth layer of Body Forging.
But after fighting with Jiang Yuan, he understood what it meant to break a thousand techniques with one force.
Every time Jiang Yuan's heavy sword swept to his sword, his blood and energy would churn, and it would take several breaths for him to calm down.
Under such circumstances, even if he held the initiative through the sword intent and was invincible, Jiang Yuan was likewise invincible.
He simply couldn't break through the young master's defense.
And as for stamina, how could he compare with him?
Concentrating on the sword intent consumes a lot of spirit, while Jiang Yuan only needs to stand still to easily withstand any of his attacks.
A few days later.
Sunset Sect.
There were pavilions and mist, cranes singing.
There were also purple clouds surging and golden light shining.
An old man with white eyebrows and beard stood on the edge of a cliff, beneath his feet was a surging sea of clouds.
"Sister Gongsun, what did you gain from this trip down the mountain?"
Gongsun Zhi nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.
"I gained quite a bit. Zhao Li is indeed talented. I've spoken to his parents, and from now on, he will practice in the sect."
"That's good!" The old man nodded.
And then: "What about the other one? Isn't there a genius in Lin'an County of Dali Prefecture?"
Gongsun Zhi shook her head when she heard this, "He's not up to it!"
"Oh? Why?"
"His past was spent in idle pursuits, squandering time."
"What's wrong with that? When I was young, I was even more frivolous, even staying in a brothel for several months."
"That's not the same!" Gongsun Zhi shook her head, "He's not comparable to you, my senior brother."
The old man chuckled: "Let's not talk about this, what else? I heard he went from the third layer of Body Forging to the seventh layer in just one month, this speed shows his physical talent is extremely strong, and will be very beneficial for breaking through in the future."
Gongsun Zhi said: "I don't know if it was a month. The person who reported this was just an outer disciple, he may not have been able to see the person's true strength at the time, but there's one thing I don't like!"
"Which one?" The old man was puzzled.
"He has taken a Organ Refining Pill, and it's just a Organ Refining Pill for outer disciples. This will inevitably cause his foundation to be somewhat unstable."
Then Gongsun Zhi added: "And there's the most important point, his spirit is too ordinary, not comparable to my disciple Zhao Li. This condition will require too much time at the spirit nuturing stage, and the integration of spirit and energy is another hurdle. For various reasons, he can't be considered a genius!"
The old man shook his head: "Alright! Since you have made a judgment, let's leave it at that!"
"Mm, I told him, if he's interested, he can come to our Sunset Sect to seek a master."
"That's good too! Heaven helps those who help themselves, we've also given him a path to continue cultivating!"
The old man slightly nodded, very satisfied with Gongsun Zhi's arrangement.
Meanwhile.
Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.
"I've finally broken through! Is this what the Spirit Nuturing stage feels like?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt a sense of emptiness in his spiritual platform, and his senses had greatly improved.
Even though he was indoors, the details of every flower, grass, and tree in the entire Zhenyuan Escort Agency were clearly emerging in his mind.
A breeze blew by, and even the movement of the fallen leaves on the ground could be clearly presented in his mind.
More importantly, Jiang Yuan could feel that his spirit, energy, and vitality were becoming more and more full.
Nourished by the physical body, he could feel his spirit, energy, and vitality becoming increasingly abundant, growing stronger and stronger.
He then slowly closed his eyes again.
Carefully sensing the changes at his spiritual platform.
After a while.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, his face full of smiles.
He gained a lot of insights in his heart.
Nourish the spirit, nourish the spirit! The physical body acts as a vessel, nourishing the spirit, energy, and vitality.
So this is spirit nuturing, I understand!
No wonder the previous eight layers were all about physical cultivation, only a strong physical body can nourish the spirit platform, feedback the spirit, energy, and vitality, and allow the spirit, energy, and vitality to grow infinitely.
The physical body and the spirit are interconnected and inseparable.
The stronger the physical body, the higher the efficiency of spiritual cultivation.
This is the way to cultivate the spirit!
At this stage, there is no need for training, just sit and watch the clouds rise and fall, the sun rise and set.
With the passage of time, one can naturally cultivate their spirit, energy, and vitality to a peak.
The physical body acts as a container, perhaps the upper limit of the spirit is also related to the strength of the physical body.
In this regard, the Sunset Sect has clearly fallen into a misunderstanding, neglecting the importance of the physical body.
The Sunset Sect, is nothing more.
But at this time, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel curious.
Why would the Sunset Sect overlook such a key point?
The path of cultivation, as the saying goes, is to build a skyscraper from the ground up.
The foundation is extremely important.
The way of the physical body is so important, why would they overlook it?
He was puzzled.
The Sunset Sect is not a small school, capable of sending outer disciples to serve as the county honor, its power must be incredibly large.
Such a large force, must have a long heritage.
It shouldn't be possible to overlook this point.
After a while, Jiang Yuan shook his head.
Never mind, don't think about it!
Perhaps I will know in the future.
Then, the gloom in his heart cleared, and his mood became cheerful.
The path of the physical body is extremely important.
[Name]: Jiang Yuan
[Realm]: Body Forging 8th Stage (Spirit Nuturing)
[Innate Destiny]: Longevity Unbounded (Purple) Body of Dragon and Tiger (Blue) Outstanding Comprehension (Green)
[Power of Destiny]: 82 strands
[Destiny Seed]:None
Eighty-two strands!
It's close!
Just nine more days, and I can upgrade my remaining innate luck again.
By then, my comprehension will surely increase dramatically!
Jiang Yuan suddenly became excited.
Jiang Yuan then pushed open the room door.
In the courtyard, Gu Mo and Old Ma were refining their bodies.
"Uncle Ma, Gu Mo, come with me, let's go out and relax!"
"Young Master, where are we going to relax?" Old Ma dropped the stone lock in his hand and asked curiously.
"Yunyan Tower!"
"Ah! The brothel?" Old Ma's eyes widened in shock, then he quickly said, "How can we go to such a place."
Seeing Old Ma's nervous face, a smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.
"Uncle Ma, you've never been there before, have you?"
"Nonsense! I've been through countless battles, how could I not have been there!"
"Then that's perfect, just come with me to relax!"
"This, this won't do." Old Ma stammered.
At this moment, Gu Mo sheathed his sword.
He said calmly, "Perfect, I also want to see what the places of romance in the books are like!"
"Ah! Then I'll accompany you guys!"
Along the way, Jiang Yuan was relaxed and content.
Having reached the Spirit Nuturing stage, he could cultivate his spirit just by lying down, a rare leisure and relaxation.
It was a good opportunity to visit the Yunyan Tower that he remembered, his previous self used to frequent this place!
At this point, Jiang Yuan was quite curious.
