The Seven Sons of the Dao Academy.
Ye Chenfeng, Lu Changming, Lu Changye, Dong Qing, Jiang Wuxie, Li Nanci, Qian Dabao.
Of these seven people, the three most ruthless and cunning are undoubtedly the most ruthless.
Ye Chenfeng, Dong Qing, and Jiang Wuxie.
However, all three of them are somewhat stubborn and overly rigid in their approach to problems.
Aggressive nature.
They have absolutely no understanding of tactful responses.
Needless to say, the rest are even less likely to be affected.
Changming Changye, Li Nanci, Qian Dabao, don't let their intelligence fool you.
He is both a prodigy in the Dao of Artifact Refinement and a prodigy in the Dao of Commerce.
But if they really encounter someone or something that they find important...
They'll become very stubborn and inflexible.
To put it nicely, it's called youthful spirit and unwavering loyalty.
To put it bluntly, he's stubborn and inflexible.
Lu Li had to let them know that the world wasn't as simple as they thought.
What the Elder Jian said to him made him understand.
In the future, he, the Great Xia, and even the Dao Academy will have to face those enormous forces that have been entrenched in the Central Continent for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
They often plan moves thousands of years in advance, strategizing for the next move.
Faced with these cunning old foxes, they have a winning strategy.
It won't work if all of my disciples are naive and innocent.
For this reason, Lu Li made a special effort to make time.
I plan to give all the disciples in the academy some extra lessons.
This time, he personally designed the teaching materials.
The first lesson in the textbook is about the importance of the background of cultivating immortality.
" The Immortal Dao immortality values contention; great power ultimately returns to oneself—this is the ultimate truth."
However, the path to the highest truth is fraught with peril.
"If surrounded by powerful enemies, and with the backing of elders from your sect, you should step in to defend yourself."
"The prestige of one's sect is its Law Treasure weapon."
"Making good use of one's background can save one a hundred years of hard work, avoid unforeseen disasters, and acquire real resources."
"When encountering trouble, one should consider reporting it to one's sect. Could this yield more Spirit Stone, more powerful Law Artifact, or better intelligence?"
"If possible, we can turn empty fame into real benefits, strengthen ourselves, and give back to the Dao Academy."
"Remember, this background is not for showing off."
"That's truly using minimal force to achieve maximum effect; behind you stands the entire Dao Academy!"
The importance of background information to cultivators was briefly explained.
Lu Li was struck by inspiration.
He had long ago discovered that the local monks had many drawbacks.
It's not a personal flaw, but rather something inherited from one's bloodline or influenced by the social environment.
Even though the teaching methods at the Dao Academy have been extremely innovative for many years.
Yet, they still couldn't shake the worldliness ingrained in the disciples' bones.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he wrote it all down at once.
Even everyday precautions weren't overlooked.
Lu Li gripped the Jade Slip tightly and immersed his Divine Sense into it.
The spiritual texts on the Jade Slip continued to appear.
"Besides the importance of a background in spiritual practice."
"The Great Dao is elusive, the secrets of Heaven are unpredictable, and even words have their consequences; they should not be taken lightly."
"We cultivators, with our Heaven-Piercing, must be careful with our words and actions, refrain from making empty vows, and avoid uttering prophetic pronouncements."
For example, before embarking on a long journey, never say things like, "When I return, I will definitely do this and that for you."
"Before the battle, I dared not say that victory was certain; my advantage lay in my arrogant pronouncements."
"When judging others, never easily say things like, 'This person has an ordinary appearance,' or so on."
Such remarks, though seemingly joking, actually subtly violate the taboos surrounding the raising of flags.
"Know that actions speak louder than words; to go silently and return victorious is the prudent way."
Lu Li compiled his notes into a book, directly recording everything he had heard and seen.
Even all the taboos that had occurred in the Great Xia region were written down.
Setting goals or making promises is a major taboo for those who are practicing spiritual cultivation.
I hope that none of my disciples have made any overly terrifying vows.
Lu Li couldn't grasp it.
Then he added several more items in one go.
For example, precautions to take when traveling.
While exploring ancient ruins, Rogue Cultivator is encountered, an outsider invites him to Spirit Root test, and a beggar boy is attacked.
And many other miscellaneous tasks.
Complete it one by one.
Only then did he put away the Jade Slip, toss it to the Heart of Primordial Beginning, and have it copied into a booklet to be distributed free of charge to all the disciples of the academy.
Within half a day, all 20,000 disciples of the Dao Academy had acquired this precious book.
The book's cover features four large characters.
Guide to Immortal Cultivation!
"Call..."
After doing all that.
Lu Li a deep breath.
Focus your attention on the important things that are going according to plan.
" In the Primordial Beginning."
"I am with my master."
What's the progress of collecting the Thunder Leopard Dongting?
"Reporting to Master, as of now, the estimated resource collection in Thunder Leopard Dongting has reached 56%."
"Hmm... that's not bad. How's the harvest?"
Lu Li's curiosity was piqued.
Thunder Leopard Dongting was the first Demon Beast Dongting that the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy attacked and conquered.
The harvest is crucial to whether the Dao Academy and the Great Xia can possess high-level combat power.
Lu Li was naturally looking forward to it.
Upon hearing the question, the Heart of Primordial Beginning, shaped like a jade disc, flickered slightly.
"Buzz~!"
The next second.
A floating light screen suddenly appeared before Lu Li's eyes.
The document details the numerous resources that the Dao Academy collected from Thunder Leopard Dongting.
Lu Li's gaze was drawn to it almost instantly.

rich!
So rich!
As expected of the Dongting region, it is incredibly rich.
They'd only collected about half of the information, and the detailed summary was already dazzling to Lu Li.
Fifth-tier spiritual material.
A genuine fifth-grade high-level spiritual material!
The high-level resources that he and the Great Xia had dreamed of had actually appeared!
And it's not just one!
Lu Li didn't even bother to look at the miscellaneous gains.
His gaze was fixed on the details of the fifth-tier resources.
Have the materials been compared in terms of their effects?
"Are you sure?"
Suppressing his joy, Lu Li cautiously asked the question.
The Heart of Primordial Beginning contains secrets of the world collected by the Dao Academy and provided by Nether Toad, Golden Ape, Heavenly Wolf, and Elder Jian.
The appearance and main function of countless resources for spiritual practice.
Once all provisions are received into the storehouse, Primordial Beginning will immediately compare and verify them, and classify them clearly.
But since it concerned fifth-tier materials, Lu Li couldn't help but double-check.
Until the Heart of Primordial Beginning summoned the patterns and descriptions of two fifth-tier spiritual materials on the spot.
Lu Li was finally relieved.
His face lit up with joy.
"These few Tier 5 materials have been added to the inventory."
"It's time for the Great Xia to begin... the contact with Pseudo-Sixth-Tier Spirit Machinery!"
