Clear Wind Meditation Method

Zhou Yurou's "How thrilling!" left Lin Li utterly speechless. She looked at Zhou Yurou with an indescribable expression.

She had thought Zhou Yurou was a soft, sweet girl, but that one "How thrilling!" made her realize that the deskmate beside her was definitely not the well-behaved sort.

Before Lin Li could say anything, Zhou Yurou said indignantly, "Xiao Li, let me tell you, the people I hate most in our class are Wang Ning and Ning Lanlan!"

Lin Li raised a brow. As they sat beneath the wisteria-covered pavilion, Zhou Yurou began chattering away.

"Wang Ning and Wang Ming are both from our village, but they got insanely lucky. Their awakened Martial Spirits both had Soul Power, so right after awakening, they became Spirit Hall Spirit Masters."

"As for Ning Lanlan, I heard her family used to live in Seven Treasures City. Do you know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Zhou Yurou looked at Lin Li.

Lin Li nodded, and Zhou Yurou continued. "I heard Ning Lanlan's father didn't follow the family rules and married a commoner—Ning Lanlan's mother. Their whole family was sent away, but Ning Lanlan successfully awakened the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Now, apparently, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is contacting them and asking them to return!"

Lin Li then heard a whole load of gossip, including but not limited to the tangled love and hate between upperclassmen at Saint Er Junior Soul Master Academy, as well as all sorts of neighborhood affairs from Zhou Yurou's village.

It was as though Zhou Yurou had some kind of bug that let her know every bit of gossip by nature.

Even Lin Li felt that awakening the Lotus Flower had been a waste on her. She should have awakened ears or eyes instead. She was born to gather intelligence.

But Zhou Yurou suddenly changed the subject and looked at Lin Li. "Still, the biggest piece of gossip lately is you."

Lin Li pointed at herself and asked in confusion, "What gossip could there possibly be about me?"

Zhou Yurou immediately raised her brows. "How could there not be? I heard our principal, Teacher Ye, went to great lengths to recruit a student who's only six years old but is already a First Ring Spirit Master."

"I heard she put in a lot of effort and spent quite a bit of money..."

Lin Li raised her brows but said nothing. Other than the fact that she had delivered herself to their doorstep, everything Zhou Yurou said was true.

Seeing how calm Lin Li remained, Zhou Yurou became even more convinced that she had the bearing of an expert. "Xiao Li, how does cultivation feel to you? Other than the Wang brothers, no one in our village has ever cultivated on their own."

Thinking of the Meditation Method Lin Yan had taught her before, Lin Li said, "It feels pretty good, but you can't cultivate for too long. Otherwise, you'll be overly fatigued the next day."

Zhou Yurou nodded. Seeing that the sun had already climbed to its highest point, Lin Li said, "Yurou, let's go back to the dorms and rest. This afternoon's cultivation will still be a hard task."

Zhou Yurou nodded, and the two headed toward their respective dormitories.

What Zhou Yurou failed to notice was the flash of Blood Red light in Lin Li's eyes.

What could a slap possibly make up for after Wang Ning spoke about her like that? She had used the devouring power of the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix to swallow one level of his Soul Power.

It definitely had not been Innate Soul Power. She was not that ruthless. But even just that one level would not be easy for Fatty Wang to cultivate back. It would take him at least a week!

Yet Lin Li's expression at that moment was somewhat satisfied. The feeling of devouring made her feel wonderful. It was a pleasure she could never experience from eating food!

But she quickly suppressed the feeling. Coldly controlling and suppressing the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's cravings, she took a deep breath. Luckily, her Spiritual Power was strong enough. Otherwise, if this continued, she would sooner or later fall into becoming an irrational Evil Soul Master!

After returning to the dormitory, she hurriedly washed her face. The icy touch cleared her mind somewhat.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw that after several days of being well fed and cared for, her cheeks had finally gained a little color.

She no longer looked as skin and bones as before. Letting out a deep sigh, she walked toward the bed.

She sat cross-legged and cultivated in silence. Cultivating the Death God Art for a while was undoubtedly more restorative than taking a nap.

The Death God Art had only circulated twice when the alarm clock at her bedside rang.

She immediately spread her wings and flew toward the classroom. The classroom was already full of students, and she was clearly the last one to arrive.

The moment she entered, she felt the gazes directed at her, nearly all filled with awe and even fear. Of course, there was also one venomous gaze mixed in.

The malice in that gaze was far too obvious. Even if Lin Li had not wanted to notice it, she could not have missed it.

Following the gaze, she saw Wang Ning glaring at her coldly and resentfully with his dead-fish eye.

Lin Li gave a disdainful chuckle. Unhurriedly returning to her seat, she pressed her fingers together like a blade and made a slicing gesture across her neck.

After she sat down, a series of footsteps sounded, and a figure quickly entered the classroom.

Her expression was ordinary. Naturally, nothing that had happened in the dining hall could escape her notice, but what did it matter? If not for Lin Li, she would not even have wanted to teach this class.

She lazily stretched and said, "I trust everyone rested well at noon. This afternoon, I'll guide you in cultivation."

What surprised her, though, was that Wang Ning had not complained to her. Then again, it made sense. A boy being bullied by a girl was not something anyone would be willing to admit.

She said softly, "Now, let me explain Meditation Methods."

A particularly spoiled voice rang out. "Teacher, why don't you teach us first?"

It was Ning Lanlan. She had changed out of her dress and put on the school uniform, though she still wore an extremely lavish gemstone hair clip.

Ye Lian saw it but said nothing. In her eyes, it was good enough that this little girl had not caused a huge fuss. A little spoiled behavior? She could accept that.

The little tricks of young girls were rather cute when they were young, at least in her opinion.

Zhou Yurou poked Lin Li's arm and mimicked her, making Lin Li laugh.

Ye Lian still wrote two words on the blackboard: "Meditation."

Ye Lian's tone became slightly more serious. "Spirit Master cultivation does not merely rely on one's own Martial Spirit or Innate Soul Power. The most important thing is the Meditation Method."

"A good Meditation Method concerns your future cultivation speed, as well as the quality of your Soul Power!"

"Unfortunately, the most top-tier Meditation Methods are tightly controlled by top-tier powers. Even so, the Meditation Method I will teach you is still above average, not the common trash taught at other junior Spirit Master academies."

Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. What his Aunt called above average was actually top-grade, though there was certainly still a gap compared to the very best.

Ye Lian said lightly, "So with the help of this Meditation Method, as long as you are not dumb as pigs, I am confident that every one of you will become a Spirit Master before graduation."

After saying that, the dark green gemstone ring on her index finger flashed, and around forty sheets of paper appeared in her hand.

She waved the papers and said, "The papers in my hand contain a Meditation Method called the Clear Wind Meditation Method! I have copied forty sets of the Clear Wind Meditation Method. Now, I will explain it to each of you."

As soon as she finished speaking, sheets of paper instantly landed on everyone's desks.
