Regarding this, Lu Yi personally made a phone call to Chen Mobai, asking him if he had time to preach and teach the true disciples of the sect.
The Divine Wood Sect’s Transmission Department, besides preserving the sect’s cultivation techniques and lineage, has another major task, which is to give lectures to the sect’s disciples.
In the largest center square of Divine Wood City, there is a different Qi-Completing cultivator lecturing every day.
These lecturers are all former true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect who, having failed at Foundation Establishment and grown old, make use of their experience to clarify doubts for the Qi Cultivating disciples of the sect’s lower tiers.
Although these cultivators are only at the Qi Cultivation Perfection level and many of them specialize in just one area, there are many of them, and the Transmission Department has assembled a group from the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions to ensure all areas of knowledge are covered.
The sect’s Qi Cultivating disciples also have the option to select and attend the lectures that interest them.
Before Zhuo Ming became Chen Mobai’s disciple, he used to attend classes in the square of Divine Wood City every day, hoping to learn some real skills.
Unfortunately, although these people were willing to explain specifics of spell cultivation and the like, they were ambiguous when it came to the skills of Talisman Making, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining that could earn Spirit Stones.
At most, they talked about basics or general principles, never revealing the tricks and experience they had amassed over the years.
This was not only due to the prevailing culture, but also because of intervention from other departments; after all, drawing a Talisman or refining an Alchemy Recipe is crucial to the livelihood of the Talisman Making Department and the Alchemy Department, and they had monopolized these skills.
If you want to learn, you have to apply to join the relevant department, ensuring that even if there are pearls missed within the gate, the Three Halls and Twelve Divisions can secure them through this order.
Thus, after listening for a year and desiring to advance further, Zhuo Ming wanted to delve deeper into the Talisman Making Department but was turned down.
In addition to the former true disciples, Foundation Establishment Elders from the sect also come over to lecture.
However, since Foundation Establishment Practitioners are busy with their own matters, the timing of the lectures is not fixed, but the Transmission Department generally ensures there is a Foundation Establishment lecture every month.
These are also something one can get for contributing to the sect.
This time, all the true disciples wanted Chen Mobai to give them guidance, the calls for him were simply too high, so their elders sought out Chu Zuoshu and Lu Yi.
Chen Mobai naturally wanted to give face to these two, as they had helped him a lot. Reciprocity was a matter of human relations, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to promote some good practices from the Immortal Gate side.
The day of his lecture arrived quickly.
Before dawn, the square in Divine Wood City was already densely packed with Qi Cultivating disciples.
Many people had come the previous night to claim spots, and had it not been for the Transmission Department maintaining order, the scramble for spots alone would have led to several conflicts.
Almost all the Qi Cultivating disciples who heard the news within the sect had arrived, and even some Foundation Establishment Elders found private rooms in wine houses and other places around the square, wanting to listen in.
When the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, a slender figure riding mist and colorful clouds glided in the light towards the center of the square and slowly landed on the high platform.
After Chen Mobai took his seat, he glanced at the eager crowd below, noticing many familiar faces in the front, such as Qi Rui, Qi Hou, Xi Jinghuo, and other good friends who were the current true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.
Among them, he also saw Ding Ying.
However, since they had reconciled under the intervention of E Yun, and now there was a world of difference between them, to Chen Mobai, Ding Ying was just an ordinary true disciple.
After surveying the crowd, Chen Mobai also took note of the familiar presences of other Foundation Establishment peers, but he simply smiled subtly and acted as if he didn’t know.
Ding Ying was relieved to see that Chen Mobai’s gaze merely glanced over her without lingering.
For the sake of Foundation Establishment, she was prepared to put her pride aside.
When coming here, she had even braced for being driven away. But just as the rumors suggested, Uncle-Master Chen was a man of his word, broad-minded and magnanimous.
“Time is limited, today I will not talk about the content of cultivation. Instead, I will focus on how to improve the success rate of Foundation Establishment.”
As the corona of sunlight reached that moment, Chen Mobai got straight to the point and started on the topic of the day.
At his words, the attendees, who were already eagerly waiting, perked up, eager to memorize every word he was about to say.
“Foundation Establishment has three stages, broadly summarized as the transformation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. If any one of these stages does not meet the standard of qualitative change, Foundation Establishment cannot be successful.”
“Many true disciples, when they take elixirs to initiate Foundation Establishment, in reality, only have their Spiritual Power up to standard. While Foundation Building Pills can act on all three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, many fail because their physical Vital Essence is lacking, or because they have accumulated a lot of elixir toxins within their bodies after taking elixirs to improve their Cultivation Level, thereby using up most, or even all, of the pill’s power during the first stage of physical transformation.”
“Consequently, in the second stage of Condensing Qi into Liquid, even if your Spiritual Power is up to standard, the failure of Foundation Establishment occurs because the pill’s power has been expended in the prior stage. I dare say that more than half of the true disciples in the sect have been halted at this point.”
“A cultivator whose Essence, Qi, and Spirit have all reached Perfection, such as my disciple Zhuo Ming, doesn’t actually need a Foundation Building Pill to successfully establish his foundation with ease.”
