The Realm Technique Had Changed

"What a pity!"

Huo Qubing's cultivation level only reached the Body Control Realm.

The practice of infant transformation ends here.

If Huo Qubing could reach the Sole Self Realm, Zhang Xuezhou felt that observing things in accordance with his own cultivation would bring him a deeper understanding.

Zhang Xuezhou's memory is limited to textual and visual materials. He has indeed somewhat forgotten what it felt like to cultivate the first three stages of Qi Refining Technique. He only remembers being repeatedly tormented back and forth, and once he entered the Nine Heavens Sect of the Yin-Yang School -Nine Heavens Sect, he could never escape.

His cultivation was largely related to consuming elixirs, allowing him to achieve breakthroughs almost instantly.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that referencing others was extremely difficult, and imitating and adapting to his own style was even more challenging.

Most importantly, it is necessary to find the trigger for Huo Qubing's infantile transformation.

"Xiao Huo, how are you feeling?"

Huo Qubing, who was adjusting his cultivation, remained in a daze for nearly an hour before finally snapping back to reality.

"Why are my legs numb!"

Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment before shouting.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I can't walk! I think I've got the same disease as my mother!" Huo Qubing cried out.

"You jinx!"

After being slapped by Wei Shao'er, Huo Qubing was in so much pain that he turned and ran away, scattering the loose gold and silver from his pockets all over the ground.

"Why did you all stop talking? What are you all staring at me for? My mom just hit me, you can't just watch me make a scene like this!"

Seemingly feeling quite embarrassed, Huo Qubing let out a couple of shouts as he staggered away.

"A genius!"

Gongsun Hong murmured.

Unlike the cultivation that ordinary cultivators deliberately pursue, Huo Qubing's cultivation seemed extremely natural, and he didn't even seem to care about it much.

This is largely because listening to lectures is beneficial, and people readily use it to enrich themselves.

But Huo Qubing was unaware of the terrifying implications of such casual actions.

Dong Zhongshu distributed the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique and the Infant Transformation Idea to a group of forty-three great Confucian scholars who studied and deciphered them. These forty-three scholars included both students and carefully selected geniuses.

This can be considered a grand event in recent years where Confucian School has jointly promoted self-cultivation, but the convergence of these efforts ultimately failed to solve the problem.

Dong Zhongshu even experimented on himself after compiling his findings, which led to his failure to reach the True Self Realm.

Everything eventually converged in Chang'an, and also in this not-so-large mansion.

Gongsun Hong didn't know why he had to find Zhang Xuezhou, but he told him everything relevant, including Dong Zhongshu's failed experience in seeking to awaken his True Self through infancy.

Many people, including Zhang Xuezhou, sought it but could not obtain it, while Huo Qubing learned it easily without even asking, and the other party did not even seem to notice anything unusual.

Gongsun Hong understood the situation and could only offer a heartfelt sigh.

"This is the Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity," Gongsun Hongdao said.

The Daoist methods that Gongsun Hong spoke of were not Daoist School Technique Method, but rather the path to seeking Technique Method.

Huo Qubing naturally waded across the water.

"It's one thing for this little rascal to steal my Eighteen Strikes of Clothing, but can he even easily master such a cheap method?"

Zhufu Yan admired Huo Qubing, but he did not show the jealousy that usually easily arises in him.

Zhufu Yan knew very well why he had risen to prominence. Huo Qubing had acted as a bridge to his unfulfilled desires, which led to the emperor in the court learning about them and the tribute he was later summoned to the capital.

The whole thing is just so absurd.

The current situation is equally absurd, but Zhufu Yan can accept it.

Whether Huo Qubing was a good fighter is debatable, but his ability to learn quickly is undeniable. Whether he learned the surface or the essence, his speed was so fast that it left opponents helpless.

"Brother Dongfang, how much can Brother Huo save by advancing to the next realm in his cultivation?" Zhufu Yan asked in a low voice.

"It's not up to me to decide; you should ask Xiao Huo about this," Zhang Xuezhou replied seriously.

"Little Huo, you're about to condense your True Spirit and release your Qi and Blood and qi power in the next realm, right?" Zhufu Yan asked.

"Right!"

"I spent three years gathering twelve old burdock roots to boil in water and drink. Could you cut half of them, Xiao Huo?" Zhufu Yan asked.

He doesn't eat burdock roots!

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

Zhufu Yan's attempt to infer Huo Qubing's spiritual practice based on his own experience is utterly meaningless.

When comparing their own energy expenditure, cultivators can only use their own past experiences as a reference.

Whether infantification saves cultivation resources is more relevant to the Yin-Yang School's cultivation, since Zhang Xuezhou's upward cultivation not only requires a massive amount of resources but is also a dead end.

Zhang Xuezhou was quite hoping that Zhufu Yan could integrate all the knowledge and thus obtain a resource-saving method of infantification cultivation.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care whether he was the first to practice, nor did he mind having more references.

The more people embark on this path of spiritual practice, the more examples he can refer to, and the more benefits he may receive.

"Xiao Huo, come here for a second!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved to Huo Qubing, who had run a hundred meters, and then heard Huo Qubing mutter something to Wei Shao'er.

"Don't hit the child for no reason; the child is traumatized now," Zhang Xuezhou advised.

"Do you think I shouldn't have punched him?"

Children get beaten by adults for eating random things, for fear they'll eat something they shouldn't. Huo Qubing's haphazard practice of cultivation would certainly be subject to control.

Wei Shao'er asked dejectedly, feeling that Huo Qubing had become very powerful with these people as his backers, and she was powerless to control him.

Most importantly, Wei Shao'er didn't understand this kind of cultivation either, so she still had to pin her hopes on Gongsun Hong and Zhang Xuezhou, lest any problems arise that would be impossible to manage later.

Wei Shao'er felt that even her rebuttal to Zhang Xuezhou sounded weak and powerless.

"If beatings work, then beatings will work; if beatings don't work, we can try other methods," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"This child is a real headache; what other methods are there to teach him?"

Wei Shao'er muttered something, then tossed aside the carrying pole he was using to carry millet and half a pig, effectively putting down his 'weapon' for beating Huo Qubing.

"As long as you can move forward, what do you have to worry about?" Zhang Xuezhou advised.

"I'm afraid he'll have a brilliant but unproductive youth, and end up as an ordinary nobody," Wei Shao'er sighed.

"If you can't seize opportunities when you're a genius, how can you expect to achieve great things later?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "You were a genius once too, so you should know very well that success only matters when you've actually achieved it!"

"Don't say I was a genius before, I still am a genius now. I can't swallow this, and I'll definitely rise to the top in the future!"

Wei Shao'er retorted with a defiant sound.

She couldn't help but glance again at the scattered gold and silver pieces on the ground.

These were the winnings of Huo Qubing's gambling match at the Imperial Academy; the seven-year-old child eventually chased after and beat up the twenty-something-year-old.

If it weren't for Wei Shao'er's sponsorship of the construction of the Imperial Academy, which allowed her to visit, she wouldn't have known about these things.

Huo Qubing began his cultivation at a young age, possessed brute strength, seemed able to see through his opponents' Technique Method, and could also draw a bow. All these abilities made Huo Qubing stand out at a young age.

Although Wei Shao'er had little formal education, she was well aware that the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind, and that Huo Qubing's hasty and haphazard early cultivation would inevitably have drawbacks.

This kind of cultivation lacks precedent. Wei Shao'er has never heard of any great young cultivators. Even in an important place like the Immortal Court, the older the cultivator, the higher their cultivation level. There has never been a powerful immortal who was only seven or eight years old.

Wei Shao'er can only rely on Zhang Xuezhou and others now, and try his best to get Wei Zifu and others to bind the new emperor, so as to seek the greatest support for the Great Han Dynasty.

After she finished her rebuttal, she assured Huo Qubing, who was in the distance, that she wouldn't hit him. Only then did Huo Qubing tiptoe and slowly approach, as if he would release the weight of the weight and flee at the slightest movement from her.

"The only way to deal with the sick child now is through surprise attacks, but what will we do in the future?"

Knowing that Huo Qubing could run incredibly fast after his body floated into the air, and that she wouldn't be able to catch up in a short time, and that Huo Qubing dared to enter any mansion, Wei Shao'er wanted to chase after him but was afraid of causing conflict with the mansion's owner. She felt a heavy burden of educational pressure in her heart.

"Little Huo, demonstrate the Confucian School Realm Technique(realms/levels)!"

Only when Zhang Xuezhou asked Huo Qubing to demonstrate the Realm Technique to circulate his internal Qi and Blood did Wei Shao'er put aside her anxiety and turn to look at her son.

"The sick child's Realm Technique has changed!"

It was difficult to notice Huo Qubing's cultivation, and there was a lack of comparison.

When Huo Qubing demonstrated his cultivation and lifted a water vat filled with water as Zhang Xuezhou requested, Wei Shao'er realized that Huo Qubing's strength had greatly increased, reaching a level of cultivation close to that of an adult.
