Jade Screen Peak.
Chen Shuangbai brought the twins back here and had Changming clean out two quiet rooms in the Green Vine Grotto inside the mountain for the children to rest in.
He originally intended to give it directly to the sect leader.
After all, with True Lord Qingchen's cultivation and knowledge, he is undoubtedly the most suitable person to teach these gifted twins.
Unexpectedly, the sect leader had no such intention and turned around to "kick" him out.
never mind.
They are all from the White Water Chen Clan, and they are all our own people. We can't just ignore them.
Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Chen Shuangbai looked at the twins and said gently, "If the sect leader won't take care of it, then I will."
"I currently have no disciples. You two should first become my disciples, and from now on, you will address each other as master and disciple."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fuguang and Chen Yazhen, whose usually indifferent faces now wore rare smiles, knelt down in a formal manner and kowtowed three times to Chen Shuangbai, addressing him as their master.
Chen Shuangbai sat upright on the prayer mat, accepting their three bows, then gestured for them to rise, saying, "Get up."
With the master-disciple relationship settled, Chen Shuangbai sent another letter to the Registration Hall, requesting them to send someone to register the two children and formally register them as members of the Jade Spring Sect.
There aren't many people on Jade Screen Peak.
Chen Shuangbai did not rush to teach the two Cultivation Method. Instead, he first taught them a scripture that could calm the mind and focus the spirit, so that they could recite it from time to time, comprehend its True Intention, and improve their concentration.
Since True Lord Qingchen has said that people with the Burning Yang Severed Yin Physique must have excellent cultivation aptitude, but they need to calm their minds and not be unrestrained, then the first thing to do is to calm their minds and improve their mental concentration, so as not to be easily disturbed by external things.
However, these two children were sent to a secluded facility to be raised alone from birth, without being disturbed by anyone. As a result, they are naturally emotionally detached, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Chen Shuangbai then had Changming retrieve many mortal books from the sect, all of which were for children's early education. He intended to cultivate the children's knowledge and character by having them read books to help them understand principles.
They'll be around seven or eight years old. Once they've grown a bit older and taller, and their temperament has completely settled down, it will be too late to teach them the Cultivation Method.
And so.
A unique sight was then added to Jade Screen Peak.
Every morning.
Even a jade toad would use its tongue to curl a pointer, watching the two children sit on the platform in front of the Moon-Gazing Pavilion, holding books and reading aloud word by word.
If there is a mistake, it should be corrected immediately.
Three mistakes, and he'd get a slap on the palm... If they made another mistake... Changming would puff out his cheeks, summon water, and give the two children a good "bath."
Changming calls this approach "strict teachers produce outstanding students."
Chen Shuangbai had no idea where this jade spirit had learned it.
Fortunately, both children were intelligent and rarely made mistakes. In addition, Changming used the pointer more to scare than to actually hit them, so they were left to their own devices.
Gray Ball nestled in the herb garden, fast asleep.
Feiguang occasionally attends classes.
But most of the time, he stays by his Master's side and trains with him.
Feiguang is now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage.
No matter how hard he tries, he can never catch up with Chen Shuangbai's progress.
Chen Shuangbai sat upright on the veranda.
His gaze fell on the two children not far away, who were reciting scriptures under Changming's supervision. At this time, the morning light was faint, and it fell on the two children through the lush leaves of the osmanthus tree, casting a mottled pattern.
"It really does have a sense of peaceful tranquility."
He couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.
Originally, the plan was to consider passing on the mantle after achieving the Golden Core stage, but things are unpredictable. This pair of unpolished gems emerged from within the Lineage... Whether out of love for talent or affection for the clan, it's not good to leave them unattended.
The sound of reading aloud suddenly grew louder.
Changming assigned a text and asked the two children to review and understand it on their own.
He gradually became sleepy, his eyelids drooped, and he lay down on the jade table and began to snore.
The two children were reading very seriously and attentively.
Chen Shuangbai turned her gaze back to the nearby mountains and rivers, and then to the distant mountains and rivers, but she did not cultivate. Instead, she sat quietly, savoring the tranquility of the moment.
Yi Chongyue was overjoyed to learn that Chen Shuangbai had indeed taken two children as his apprentices. He had Uncle Zhong send over a lot of things and also gave gifts to the two children.
His second disciple Tang Yu, has also made great progress over the years. Now that Chen Shuangbai has taken on a disciple, who is also his grand-disciple, he is naturally overjoyed and dotes on him immensely. He often sends things to him through intermediaries, which shows his deep affection for him.
Chen Shuangbai gradually stopped going out much.
He stayed on Jade Screen Peak to cultivate himself, read books, and incidentally teach his two children.
Chen Fuguang and Chen Yazhen rapid progress.
They were naturally intelligent, and with their single-minded focus and seclusion, they were able to master the classics that Chen Shuangbai had specified in just a few months, and their temperament also became much more composed.
The method of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit that the two of them practiced every day was something Chen Shuangbai had comprehended from the [ Diagram of the Flying Immortal Ascending to Clarity ]. In fact, it wasn't a formal Cultivation Method, but rather a kind of trick.
But tips and tricks have their advantages; they're easy to use and easy to learn.
Before they had even truly begun their cultivation, the two children, relying on their natural talents, had already developed a sense of Qi, making Chen Shuangbai sigh that there are indeed people more capable than oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.
And so the days went by.
Such days are as uneventful as a mountain stream, calm yet flowing endlessly.
The profoundness of the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ] far exceeded Chen Shuangbai's imagination, but the wonder of the [ Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method ] was equally impressive.
The two Law Power flowed through his body without conflicting. Instead, they progressed in tandem, like two lines or water vapor influenced by the Grand Yin, creating a sense of mutual complementarity.
During this time, Chen Shuangbai went to see True Lord Qingchen scroll.
Upon seeing him for the first time, True Lord Qingchen nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Truly worthy of being my [ Jade Spring Treasure Tree ], you have so quickly comprehended the nourishment of rain and dew, and the surging of streams... Tell me, what Divine Ability have you comprehended?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled and told the truth.
"Having comprehended the five transformations and five virtues of water, I have now grasped some of the mysteries of its nourishing and flowing nature, and each of us has come to understand a unique Divine Ability."
That's all.
Chen Shuangbai smiled, then opened her palms, from which two kinds of Divine Ability light, one emerald green and the other azure blue, surged forth.
"Nourishing and moistening govern life, nurturing, and continuation; hence it is called [ the Moistening Virtue True Seal ]."
"The principle of 'flowing water' emphasizes courage and decisiveness, hence the phrase '[ the Divine Light of Ten Thousand Torrents Racing ]'."
True Lord Qingchen clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent!"
"What a fine Chen Shuangbai!"
