As the main peak of Qingwang Sect, it was naturally the area with the densest spiritual energy.
The halls built on the main peak were nestled among the trees and grass, blending in without seeming out of place.
Every plant in sight, even the most ordinary ones, was especially lush and green. At a glance, they all seemed carved from jade.
In a bamboo grove, Lu Bai sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding Qingwang Sect's Qi Refining cultivation manual.
Through the gaps in the bamboo, he could see the distant peaks, beautiful, majestic, and serene.
But Lu Bai's attention wasn't on any of these magnificent sights.
Yuxu Zi stood before him with his hands behind his back, explaining things at an unhurried pace. He looked utterly calm and composed.
"...The path of cultivation is about taking the power of heaven and earth and making it your own. You've only just begun, so you should follow the ways of nature..."
He spoke slowly, in no hurry to have Lu Bai begin cultivating.
He knew that for a prodigy with such exceptional aptitude, what he truly needed was to cultivate his mind.
But before he had said much, he suddenly sensed spiritual energy stirring around Lu Bai.
Lu Bai examined the new, unfamiliar energy within him, then looked up and asked, "Does this mean I've reached Qi Refining Layer One?"
Yuxu Zi was so startled he nearly yanked out his beard.
He hadn't even told Lu Bai how to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, let alone how to circulate it and draw it into his body.
For other people, cultivation was a difficult process. Without someone to guide them, even the finest manual was useless; they wouldn't know where to begin. It was practically the perfect safeguard against self-study.
