: Taking the Stage to Speak! Cleansing the Body!

"Heaven rewards diligence..."

As Lu Yun circulated his true power, he observed the changes. "It's not just about establishing an image of diligence, but also an image of a diligent genius."

The Pure and Turbid True Method is indeed different; once activated, it does not require mental effort, but only true energy.

Let alone sitting and thinking, once you're skilled enough, you can even make it work while dancing.

The sound of clothes fluttering rang out.

Senior Brother Liu is here again.

His eyes lit up when he saw the turbid air constantly rising from Lu Yun's body.

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

He couldn't help but nod. "It seems our assessment institute is about to produce at least one top-tier genius."

His tone was approving.

A top-tier genius is rewarded with five spirit stones.

For the stingy Immortal Academy to offer such a reward, one can imagine how difficult it must have been.

In his eyes, Lu Yun was no longer just a name.

There are five spirit stones.

His attitude softened considerably, and he suddenly thought of a way to motivate those scions of prominent families.

"As the first one to get started, would you be willing to share your successful experience?"

After Lu Yun stopped, Senior Brother Liu looked around the hall.

Those scions of prominent families in the front row, with their gloomy faces, felt even worse upon hearing this.

Should we have Lu Yun give them a lecture?

"Great!" Lu Yun was delighted to hear this.

He likes to talk.

He stood up and walked confidently to the center, facing everyone in the hall.

He cleared his throat.

"As everyone knows, my talent is not good; I only have a mid-grade spiritual root."

"The Immortal Seal Rank is also the lowest of the seventh grade, and the comprehension is also average."

"My achievements today are all thanks to—my extraordinary hard work!"

The sound wasn't loud.

But in the quiet palace, every word was crystal clear.

In the back row, Ye Xiu sat in the fourth row.

His eyes were complicated.

"Brother Lu, you can fool others all you want."

He muttered to himself, "Don't fool yourself too."

Lu Yun's comprehension is definitely above average.

Otherwise, the initial evaluation would not have been able to achieve the third-class merit level.

"I firmly believe that hard work pays off."

Lu Yun continued, "Success is 99% perspiration and 1% talent..."

A dose of motivational fluff and inspirational platitudes was poured down his throat.

It not only inspired the independent practitioners.

He also successfully established his reputation as someone who believes in the principle of "hard work pays off".

Even the scions of prominent families no longer looked at him with hostility.

Even a small number of people who hadn't participated much showed admiration in their eyes.

"Pooh!"

Some people are different. Wang Yue scoffed at this, saying that the saying "heaven rewards diligence" was obviously true; they were definitely getting extra help from others.

The amount of spirit rice he eats raw each day is not enough to meet his needs.

"Lu Yun..."

The innocent little girl beside Hou Jianxing silently murmured this name.

He seemed to be glowing.

A hint of curiosity appeared in his large, dark, and bright eyes.

How could someone so positive and motivated be the bad person those people talk about?

Unfortunately, the "Heaven rewards diligence" motto didn't light up in Lu Yun's mind for very long; it stopped after reaching a certain level.

There were only a thousand people inside the hall, which was far too few.

"If I hadn't gone back to sleep last night..."

Feng Jian's heart couldn't help but waver, "Could it be that I've already mastered the basics?"

He felt he was almost there and always wanted to be the first to learn.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun beat him to it.

"A formidable opponent."

Feng Jian's expression turned serious. "It's not good luck."

The way they looked at Lu Yun was no longer that of a reckless rogue cultivator.

Rather, he is a worthy opponent to be taken seriously.

"What a wonderful example of 'Heaven rewards diligence'!"

Senior Brother Liu exclaimed, "Lu Yun has already shared his successful experience; what happens next is up to you!"

Whether Heaven rewards diligence or not, he didn't know.

All he knows is that if he promotes this idea, his reward as the mentor this year will be much higher.

One more Grade A, five spirit stones; one more Grade B, one spirit stone.

It's hard to say about Grade A, but there might be quite a few more Grade Bs.

Lu Yun sat back down on the futon.

With a resolute expression, he gazed at the Dharma Inheritance Stele and continued to contemplate it.

He glanced at the faces of the scions of prominent families in the front row, especially those like Feng Jian and Wang Yue.

They are colorful and quite beautiful.

Huh, why is there a shiny black eyeball?

Seeing that everyone's fighting spirit had been ignited, Senior Brother Liu was very satisfied.

The eyes of those scions of noble families were practically burning with rage.

Everyone was full of energy.

This is what the elders called the catfish effect.

"We eagerly await our second disciple to enter the academy; diligence will be rewarded!"

After saying that, Senior Brother Liu opened the Dharma Inheritance Stele.

The profound and mysterious Daoist essence once again enveloped the palace.

Everyone quickly immersed themselves in the state of enlightenment, with unprecedented focus, staring intently at the Dharma Inheritance Stele without blinking.

Lu Yun was also immersed in the Dao, and this time his understanding was different from before.

He has already begun to understand the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity".

Only cultivators with spiritual roots can sense spiritual energy.

After mastering the true method of purification and purification, he unlocked a completely new sense.

Besides the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one can also sense the turbid energy.

Wisps of grayish-white gas rose between heaven and earth.

Intertwined with spiritual energy, it surged around.

Gray and murky, it is everywhere.

"There is still a lot of turbid energy in my body." Lu Yun scanned himself.

If the concentration of polluted air in the outside world is one, then the concentration in his body is three.

The grayish-white turbid air dispersed throughout the body, into the meridians, and even deep into the bone marrow.

It becomes one with the physical body.

"I was like this when I was ten years old and I ate spirit rice, so ordinary people must have even more turbid qi in their bodies."

Lu Yun felt the harm of the turbid air.

Then I thought of Zixin City. I've never seen a centenarian there. Seventy years old is considered a long life.

I initially thought it was because the powerful clans were inhumane, but now it seems it was probably the harm caused by the corrupting influence of the local gentian.

"This is just the turbid air you see at the beginning; there's more at a deeper level, in your flesh, bone, and marrow."

"First, eliminate all those we can sense!"

As Lu Yun pondered this, he gazed at the Dharma Inheritance Stele, the true Dharma circulating within his body.

As he began to practice the true method, he vaguely sensed that the Dharma Inheritance Stele connected to a distant and vast place.

It is like the place where the Tao resides, the source of the law.

"The seed of law may lie in the source."

Lu Yun regained his composure: "I cannot trigger it now."

With the blessing of the Dao, the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity" was circulated again and again.

This method is different from other methods.

It neither absorbs spiritual energy nor refines turbid energy.

Specializing in the elimination of [illegible characters].

For beginners, it takes about 45 minutes to complete one cycle.

The higher the level of understanding, the slower the circulation of Qi in the body.

Of course, the better the effect will be.

With the support of the Dao, Lu Yun could complete a full cycle of cultivation in just half a quarter of an hour.

It can run sixteen times in one hour.

Race against the clock.

The true method of purifying and impuring constantly circulates within the body.

A foul aura emanated from his body, wisps and strands forming a grayish-white expanse.

With each movement, the body becomes a little lighter.

Lu Yun's perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also improving.

The body is filled with turbid qi, as if it is covered with layers of gauze.

Now that at least two or three layers have been peeled off, the external sensitivities are much clearer.

"This is what Senior Brother Liu meant by purifying the body of impurities, which indirectly enhances one's talent."

Lu Yun made a preliminary estimate.

The cultivation speed can be increased by about 20%.

[Observing Oneself from the Spiritual Platform: The True Method of Purification and Impurity (Introduction 18/100)]

"good."

Lu Yun glanced at the progress, "With the blessing of Dao essence, it can still improve significantly in an hour."

Compared to those who haven't started learning, the difficulty of improving is obviously much greater for beginners.

As the Daoist energy dissipated, Senior Brother Liu did not rush to leave.

He looked at Lu Yun's body and saw that no more foul air was emanating from him.

"good."

He nodded, "You have a great talent for this method. In just one hour, you have cleared away most of the impure energy you could sense."

"Now that you have entered the true path of the Dharma, you can go to the Spiritual Materials Hall to collect spiritual materials."

"While comprehending the essence, cleanse the impurities within the spiritual materials."

"Refining spiritual materials can not only earn you spirit crystals, but also help you better comprehend the Dharma."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Liu." Lu Yun stood up.

Senior Brother Liu nodded, then looked at everyone.

"This wasn't just said to Lu Yun."

"Once any of you have truly mastered the basics, go to the Spiritual Materials Hall to collect the spiritual materials."

After Senior Brother Liu left, Lu Yun didn't rush to the Spirit Materials Hall.

He sat down again.

The "True Method of Purifying and Purifying" was circulated again and again.

The hall fell silent for a moment, as the figure remained seated, and the pressure returned.
