Hong Fang Zhenren's encouragement directly violated Xuan Chen Zhenren's taboos.
"We cultivators are fighting against heaven for our lives, if he wastes even a single day on these matters, that's one less thread of hope for a breakthrough," Xuan Chen Zhenren said sternly, "The 'cultivation' in cultivator requires diligent and arduous practice, not simply practicing occasionally and being done with it."
"He's an educated man; he should know the consequences of not studying hard. Cultivation is even harder than studying!"
Hong Fang Zhenren felt embarrassed and gave Li Qing a helpless gesture while stealing a glance at him.
"Master, don't say anymore, I was just dealing with this matter, my cultivation hasn't been neglected. I will certainly practice diligently from now on!" Li Qing quickly said, not daring to continue this topic any further. If the conversation went on, both he and Hong Fang Zhenren would be scolded to oblivion by his master.
