Zhunti and Jieyin into the Starry Sky, and Jiang Yun, following their instructions, dutifully remained stationed at Mount Sumeru.
On a whim, he decided to take a stroll around Lingjue Peak.
The person in charge of the Lecture Hall was Kinnara, who had been managing it for the past thousand years.
Kinnara was a disciple Zhunti Cundi. He was kind-hearted and had a good personality. However, such a pure and sincere person had a flaw: he was prone to extremes when faced with certain situations.
"Junior Brother Kinnara, how have you been lately?"
"Senior Brother, everything is fine. It's my turn to oversee the Lecture Hall recently. Everything is done according to the old rules, so it doesn't require much effort," Kinnara said with a smile and a bow.
"There's no need for such formalities between us, fellow disciples."
The teachers went to the Starry Sky and left me to stay in the mountains. I've been a bit bored lately, so I came over to sit for a while.
Come on... let's make some tea, and you can chat with me!
"Alright, Senior Brother!" He perked up considerably when the topic of tea came up.
Speaking of which, this habit was started by Jiang Yun. He saw that his fellow disciples' cultivation levels were a bit low, and the Western Earthly Realm was quite barren, so he prepared some Spiritual Tea to help them improve their cultivation speed.
Who knew that tea culture was such a treasure, not to be underestimated anywhere? Sure enough, his fellow disciples got addicted to it. At first, they were given small portions, and some of them drank too quickly. After finishing their tea, they wanted to mooch some from others. They felt embarrassed to go alone, so they gathered a group of fellow disciples together. And so, tea parties started every now and then, and gradually this Spiritual Tea became more and more popular!
Nowadays, in Mount Sumeru, Spiritual Tea has become an indispensable delicacy for visiting relatives and friends!
"Junior brother, in managing the Lecture Hall, have you noticed anything that could be improved? Tell me about it."
Jiang Yun wanted to test Kinnara and see what kind of mind he had.
"As the Lecture Hall has developed to this day, a lecture hall has been set up in the Main Hall. Every thousand years, a senior disciple or a disciple ranked among the top in the inner sect will be arranged to give a lecture on the Great Dao. This is the Great Lecture. In addition, a Dao Discussion Square has been set up in the open-air area. Every ten years, a lecture on Divine Ability Spell will be organized. This is the Small Lecture."
These preaching measures are equivalent to our regular support for ordinary disciples within the sect, which seems like a good thing in the short term, but I'm afraid they might develop a dependency!
I think the intervals between these sermons could be extended, and perhaps some Tibetan Buddhist stele forests or stone carvings could be built so that they can have more time to contemplate and understand them on their own.
"Hmm~, that is a problem. Back then, my teacher and uncle didn't have the idea of opening their doors to disciples so early. Look at the other powerful figures in the Primordial World now, how many of them have opened their doors to disciples? It's only because the situation in the Western Region is special."
As you know, the Western Land are barren, and relying solely on the two senior teachers and your Senior Brother me is still too weak.
Therefore, I suggested to the teachers that they open their doors wider to accept disciples and cultivate more like-minded people as soon as possible, so that they could concentrate their efforts on great things.
Back then, you were just starting out and your cultivation levels were too low. In order to improve your cultivation speed and help you grow in a short period of time, I personally took charge of establishing the Lecture Hall and the Aid Hall.
Now that you have achieved some success, in order to prevent some of you from developing a dependency on spiritual practice, let's make some adjustments according to your ideas!
Jiang Yun took a sip of tea at this point, and then continued:
"By the way, besides the measure you mentioned, I also have some preparations."
He casually took out two pagoda-shaped Spiritual Treasure and handed them to Kinnara.
"These are two Houtian Spiritual Treasure that I crafted in my spare time. They are made primarily of Star Sand, mixed with a considerable amount of Congenital Spiritual Material, and are extremely sturdy."
These two Spiritual Treasure each have their own unique uses. I named the silver-white pagoda on the left "Nine Tribulations," and the dark blue-green pagoda on the right "Nine Prohibitions Zones."
One purpose is to temper your hearts, forging an indestructible Dao Heart that can make you more mentally stable and less easily disturbed by external things; the other purpose is to simulate battles, improving your combat skills. Once you have mastered the Dao Protecting Art, they can help you overcome difficulties in your pursuit of the Dao.
Using both of these methods together should be able to resolve the psychological dependency issues for some people.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother had already noticed these problems and come up with a solution in advance! Senior Brother's method is truly ingenious!" Kinnara said in admiration, holding the two Spiritual Treasure that Jiang Yun had given him.
Looking at Kinnara before him, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think of Wutian in the post -Wutian to the Journey to the West period. He felt a bit curious and a mischievous urge to see what would happen if Kinnara, who had joined the Western Teachings, encountered the scene from his original destiny!
"Junior brother, since I completed the Nine Tribulations Refinement of this Spiritual Treasure, no one has yet tested its effects. I wonder if you would be willing to be the first to try its heart-refining effects?"
Upon Kinnara also had some thoughts in his mind. Since entering the mountain gate, he had been devoted to cultivation and had not come into much contact with worldly affairs. Now he also wanted to see how his Dao Heart was!
"Junior brother is interested in giving it a try; Senior Brother, please look after me."
Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak, a shout came from outside the hall.
"Senior Brother, what are you going to try? Is there anything fun to do?"
Upon hearing the loud, boisterous voice, Jiang Yun knew who it was—who else could it be but Bixiao!
Sure enough, Bixiao had been peeking out from outside the palace for a while, and now, thinking she had discovered something interesting, she quickly rushed out.
During the time Jiang Yun was stationed at Mount Sumeru, he saw that his cultivation level could not be improved in a short period of time, so he usually liked to brew tea and enjoy the scenery outside his Cave Abode, enjoying a leisurely time.
Who would have thought that his comfortable days wouldn't last long before he was entangled with Bixiao.
Last time, in his Cave Abode, Jiang Yun had just given the four of them some encouragement, and then Bixiao hurriedly pulled the others to build their own Cave Abode and diligently cultivate.
And it's only been a short time!
Bixiao, who had been diligently cultivating for a while, couldn't bear the tedium of cultivation. She secretly ran away to steal a moment of leisure and wandered over to Jiang Yun's Cave Abode.
When she visited Wuzhuang Temple before, she had drunk the Spiritual Tea brewed by Jiang Yun once, and she had been longing for its taste ever since!
Later, Jiang Yun gave the four siblings some Spiritual Tea leaves, which they cherished. This Spiritual Tea was very useful for Bixiao, who had just reached the Mystic Immortal cultivation level, and it was perfect for someone like her who couldn't stand the monotony of cultivation!
Since Jiang Yun was here brewing tea and enjoying the scenery, how could I miss this opportunity? I had to make the most of the Spiritual Tea so I could improve my cultivation while having fun outside. It was much more comfortable than with my two older sisters and Eldest Brother Gongming!
Ha, thinking about it this way, Bixiao couldn't help but admire her own great intelligence!
