Chapter 18

Immortal Seed and Dharma Seed! Introduction to True Dharma!

Until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

The firefly's light had just gone out.

"Tch, I thought Lu Yun didn't need to sleep."

Seeing this, many people finally felt relieved and started snoring as soon as they lay down.

Lu Yun's cultivation method helps with mental recovery, but it cannot completely eliminate sleep.

I went back and slept for an hour and a half.

dawn.

Many people got up and saw that the lamp in the hall was lit again.

"grass!"

As Wang Yue stepped out, he snorted coldly, "I'd like to see how many days he can hold out."

He was so angry tonight that he didn't even go to sleep in the rented spirit house.

"Come with me to buy spiritual food; this time, prepare ten portions."

"That's right."

The person next to him gritted his teeth, "We have that kind of willpower too! We'll sleep in the Chengfa Hall tonight!"

Those who swore yesterday they wouldn't be affected are now silent.

When that light shone brightly, it really bothered them.

I'm not afraid of my peers giving up on themselves; I'm afraid of them actually working hard.

Who cultivates the fastest?

Wang Yue declared fiercely, "Today, a whole line of cultivators from our aristocratic families must be the first to master the 'Purifying and Turbidifying True Method'!"

"I feel like I can get the hang of it today or tomorrow."

"good!"

"Brother Feng truly deserves to be the leader chosen by the Feng family for the Immortal Hall. Perhaps he will achieve perfect cultivation in the future and awaken the seed of Dharma."

"I'm working late into the night again."

Feng Jian said indignantly, "Let those peasants understand that we, the scions of noble families, are not only talented and well-connected, but also have better character and completely crush them."

He didn't sleep well last night either, feeling like he was being outdone by others.

I heard that some people stayed up all night meditating on the Chengfa Stele.

morning.

At the exact moment the Dharma Inheritance Stele was opened, Senior Brother Liu walked in.

Everyone sat cross-legged, staring intently at the stone tablet, their expressions resolute, and no one was distracted.

He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

This was the best class he had ever led.

"Great, seeing how hard you've worked, I feel it's necessary to share some news."

"Su Haocun of the first assessment courtyard of the Immortal Hall activated his Dharma Seed yesterday."

"Having instantly mastered the 'Purification and Turbidity True Method,' he received the evaluation of a celestial seedling and has been taken away by the Celestial Academy."

He paused for a moment.

"The Immortal Academy also has a disciple who has activated the Dharma Seed this year."

First there was silence.

Then a shrill noise exploded.

"Really? You've already mastered the basics after just one lesson yesterday?"

"Isn't the true Dharma very difficult? To be able to begin practicing on the same day? And even awaken the Dharma seed? What is the Dharma seed?"

The rogue disciples were astonished by the speed at which they had mastered the basics.

"This year, two people have actually triggered the seed of Dharma!"

The scions of noble families in the front row were even more astonished by the "activation of the Dharma seed".

Lu Yun was also stunned.

Only then can he be confident of mastering the skill today.

Someone succeeded yesterday.

It also triggered the seed of law.

Dharma Seeds —

The image of that flame immediately flashed into his mind.

The true Dharma needs to be received; what is received is the seed of the Dharma.

The seed of the "Thousand Threads of Illusory Flame Illuminating the Elixir Method" is that illusory flame.

"Is this what cheating looks like?"

Lu Yun was extremely envious.

His saying, "Heaven rewards diligence," also emphasizes the word "diligence."

Talented people are completely unreasonable.

The Dharma seed is directly activated in front of the Dharma Inheritance Stele. How is it activated?

Thinking of geniuses, I am reminded of the Moon Fairy.

Foundation Establishment at age twenty...

Under the pressure of the nine-rank system.

A true prodigy can still rely on their talent to overpower everything.

He surpassed many disciples from prestigious families and reached the pinnacle.

The living examples are right before our eyes.

The scions of prominent families in the front row also showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

Lu Yun then thought of the "immortal seedling evaluation" mentioned by the instructor.

Above A, B, C, and D, there is another celestial seedling.

Ignore the materials used for refining spiritual materials; only look at whether the seed of Dharma has been activated.

I kept it in mind.

"Alright, let's stop discussing this."

Senior Brother Liu gestured with his hand, "Their ability to stand out is not solely due to talent, but rather to their exceptionally high degree of compatibility with the true teachings."

"Within the Stele of Inheritance of the Dharma, one receives the seed of the Dharma, and is enlightened by the nectar, thus entering the path of the Way."

"You just need to get started with the 'True Method of Purification and Turbidity' as soon as possible; there's no need to compare yourselves with them."

"If you work hard enough to cultivate the True Dharma of Purification and Turbidity to the sixth level or above, you will also have the opportunity to activate the Dharma seed."

There's one more thing that Senior Brother Liu didn't say—

Since the establishment of the Hundred Refinements Immortal Academy, there have been no more than three cultivators who have cultivated the true Dharma to the sixth level without the seed of Dharma.

Do you have any other questions?

Senior Brother Liu scanned the area.

"Don't ask me about cultivation techniques. The Daoist principles embodied in the Inheritance Stele are your best teachers."

"Senior brother, what does it mean to have entered the path?"

Someone in the back row raised their hand, "We can't see our own progress."

"It's very simple."

Brother Liu explained, "When you first practice the 'Purifying and Turbidifying True Method,' grayish-white turbid air will be expelled from your body. That is when you enter the true method."

"What are the criteria for the overall evaluation?"

"After receiving the Dharma, one can refine the speed of intermediate-level spiritual materials."

Senior Brother Liu held up his finger, "Three days for Grade A, seven days for Grade B, twenty days for Grade C, and within thirty days for Grade D (entry-level)."

"Furthermore, even with basic cultivation techniques, one can only refine inferior spiritual materials. Only by cultivating to the first level can one progress to the middle level..."

He patiently answered several questions.

Only then was the Dharma Inheritance Stele opened.

"Can I get an A grade?"

Lu Yun was somewhat dazed as he recalled the genius who had activated the seed of law.

The Taoist aura spread once again.

His restless thoughts vanished instantly.

Transform into a steadfast heart devoted to the Way.

The image of a resilient person seems to have worked.

The brightness of "Heaven rewards diligence" has increased slightly.

An hour had passed in the morning, and Lu Yun's progress had reached 99%.

After ninety, the progress in understanding and improvement becomes slower, but it is still ongoing.

Otherwise, it would have been perfect long ago.

However, even as the Daoist aura disappeared, he still failed to break through the barrier and formally enter the path.

Lu Yun was unwilling to accept this.

Continue to study and contemplate the Chengfa Stele.

Noon.

Most of the disciples went to eat.

Only Lu Yun remained seated cross-legged, which displeased Wang Yue and other scions of prominent families.

"Pretending to be something you're not."

Someone whispered, "Yesterday he could say he wasn't prepared, but he's doing this again today?"

For whom?

"Perhaps he just lacks comprehension."

Another disciple from a prominent family speculated, "I'm afraid that if we don't even comprehend the true method after seven days, we'll lose the favor of a Foundation Establishment True Person."

"That makes sense." A group of people cheered.

It's one thing for a husky to infiltrate a wolf pack, but it also tries every day to become the wolf king.

Which of these real wolves can you stand?

But no one dared to disturb Lu Yun's meditation, otherwise who knew what he might do.

Whether someone is diligent or not is unknown.

But what happened yesterday made them realize that this guy was ruthless and had a fierce streak.

Many independent cultivators later regarded Lu Yun as their role model.

He followed him, staring at the Chengfa Stele and trying to understand it.

But watching the young masters of noble families eat spiritual fruits, enjoy spiritual dishes, and drink spiritual tea was a delightful experience.

A wavering thought inevitably crossed my mind: "Can I really surpass them just through hard work?"

"Can the effort put into consuming spirit rice truly compare to the accumulation of resources?"

The hour of Wei (1-3 PM) is approaching.

Lu Yun was immersed in comprehending the scriptures.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

【The True Method of Purifying and Purifying (Introduction 1/100)】

The true qi operates along mysterious pathways within the body.

Impure energy, invisible to the naked eye, is continuously expelled as true energy circulates.

A strange noise came from beside Lu Yun.

Wisps of grayish-white turbid air emanated from his body.

"This is--"

Hou Xingjian was a little confused; he was eating.

"You've mastered the basics of 'turbid energy'!"

"Lu Yun has grasped the basics of the true method!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet palace.

"I've grasped the basics of Lu Yun's 'True Method of Purification and Turbidity'!"

"His efforts were truly effective!"

Everyone watched this scene in shock.

"How is that possible?"

Wang Yue looked up abruptly, in disbelief.

"You mastered the basics in just a day and a half?"

The spiritual fruit in Feng Jian's hand fell to the ground and rolled twice.

He didn't even pick them up.

The young men from prominent families standing nearby had various expressions.

Some people gaped open, some turned pale, and some had complicated expressions.

"Brother Lu!"

Qin Yue's eyes were filled with fervor.

His heart was completely moved by Lu Yun's conviction.

While others were in shock, he glanced at it and continued to stare intently at the Chengfa Stele.

Brother Lu has a mid-grade spiritual root; all his efforts are so effective.

He has a superior spiritual root, and he's not much worse off.

This thought wasn't just on Qin Yue's mind.

It also appeared in the minds of many independent practitioners.

In an instant.

The idea of ​​"Heaven rewards diligence" became much clearer in Lu Yun's mind.
