Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Indeed, appearing in the centre of the training ground with the sun in the back gives off such a grand feeling! Just look at how Chu Yang’s eyes are filled with awe and admiration! Looks like I made the right decision to show up earlier and prepare!

”Great, I see that both of you have come! Let’s begin then!” Looking at both his disciples, Xuan Hao smiled as he called out to them and motioned for them to come over to him.

”Qing Yi, I will be teaching you a movement technique this time around, as for you Chu Yang, I will get you a more suitable cultivation mantra for now.” Looking at both of them, Xuan Hao first imparted the cultivation mantra to Chu Yang, as there was not much for him to do other than teaching him the cultivation mantra and how cycle the qi in his meridians and dantian.

”This is the Soul Spear Divine Mantra; it does not have a rank like a normal cultivation mantra due to the few people being able to cultivate it… Most who cultivate it either end up breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm or end up stuck with no progress… I personally think you are well suited for this cultivation mantra and you might even be able to take it beyond what the past users have been able to…

The Flying Sword Sect is after all a sword sect and we have not really had that many great spear cultivators over the years…” Explaining this to Chu Yang, Xuan Hao started fully imparting the cultivation mantra as Qing Yi quietly waited at the side for him to finish.

Only 15 minutes later was the impartation of the cultivation mantra finished and Chu Yang looked bewildered at all the new information and felt like he could take his spear techniques to the next level with only a bit of meditation and reach a brand-new realm.

The reason for this was that the Soul Spear Divine Mantra did not only contain a way to cultivate, but also contained a large amount of different high level spear techniques.

”You can go over there and digest what you learned!” As Chu Yang was still lost in thought, Xuan Hao called out to him and pointed towards a corner of the training ground filled with training equipment and a few steel puppets for testing one’s offensive techniques.

”…” Chu Yang did not say anything, he just bowed silently in appreciation and made his way over to the corner of the training ground as he sat down and started comprehending the new knowledge that he had been given.

”Now, you have waited for quite a while now Qing Yi, so let’s get started as well now that your new junior brother has been settled.” Turning to look away from the meditating Chu Yang, Xuan Hao looked a Qing Yi who was quietly standing a few meters away from him patiently waiting for her turn.

Maybe I should just train them one at a time instead of having one of them wait as I teach the other…

Thinking this, Xuan Hao quickly made his way over to Qing Yi.

”I will demonstrate a simple low-tier Earth Rank movement technique called Flash Step now, it is one of the easiest movement techniques that the Flying Sword Sect has and everyone who reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm will be qualified to learn it!” Saying that, Xuan Hao took a single step forward and instantly appeared a few dozen meters away.

”This technique, while simple, can allow you to burst forward with a speed above what someone at your cultivation realm would normally be able to use and is a great way to catch your opponent off guard and deal a deadly blow!” Saying this, Xuan Hao disappeared once again from his location and reappeared besides Qing Yi.

Yesterday, he had planned to teach both Qing Yi and Chu Yang something and had left earlier this morning to pick out a cultivation mantra that he could teach Chu Yang and a movement technique that he could teach to Qing Yi at the Pagoda of Enlightenment.

The Soul Spear Divine Mantra was something that he had found at the top floor of the Pagoda of Enlightenment and could be considered to be a great cultivation mantra for those who practiced the spear, while the Flash Step was a simple movement technique that all disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm could get their hands on.

The reason why he had chosen the Flash Step instead of some higher rank movement technique was due to how easy it was to learn and the fact that he himself did not really learn any complicated and strong movement techniques yet… So, he had picked an easy movement technique to learn and spent a few hours to learn it himself before coming to teach it to Qing Yi…

With this Qing Yi started learning the Flash Step movement technique under Xuan Hao’s guidance and started practicing in the training ground.

Qing Yi’s movements were somewhat awkward at first but under Xuan Hao’s pointer she slowly grew more and more proficient in the Flash Step.

”Pay attention to your left leg when you utilize your qi to execute the Flash Step. Don’t overuse your strength at those parts and waste your qi!” Xuan Hao’s reminder came from the side as Qing Yi quickly paid attention to her left leg and made sure to use less qi in that area when executing the Flash Step movement technique.

Whoosh!

Qing Yi flashed forward at a speed way faster than she had before and suddenly came to a stop a few dozen meters away from where she had started.

Qing Yi involuntarily started laughing as she fell to the ground in exhaustion, the method of practicing bitterly for the last few hours had caused all parts of her body to ache in pain. But other than enduring this, how could she ever wish to improve?

The last execution of the Flash Step had drained the last bit of energy left in her as she had manged to go even faster than the last time.

Having someone guide you as you trained was way more beneficial than doing it by yourself!

Qing Yi thought to herself as she remembered how far she had gone with the Flash Step movement technique already.

”Hah!”

Hearing the familiar voice, Qing Yi turned her head a bit to the side on the ground and watched her new junior brother Chu Yang swinging his spear in the distance.

After he had managed to successfully meditate with the new cultivation mantra he had been given, he had started practicing his spear like he had become obsessed.

”You can go back for now and get some rest, you should try and meditate on the Flash Step Movement Technique when you get up again. Maybe you will be able to learn something new!” As Qing Yi was about to force herself up again, she heard her master call out to her and quickly agreed with what he said with a quick nod of her head, as she started dragging her exhausted body back to her room and threw herself at her bed.

So, what if it was still in the middle of the day?! She was way too tired to continue doing anything at the moment!

With those thoughts in mind, Qing Yi quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
