Practice Manual

Chapter 36 The Master's Gift
The next day, Lu Qing got up early, went to a shop not far from the house, and drank a bowl of tofu curd.

Situ Yu and Gu Yinyu did not restrict him from traveling, and his degree of freedom is actually quite high.

Lu Qing took a spoon, smashed the bean curd, and then drank it one mouthful at a time.

He is more used to this way of eating.

After eating the hot tofu curd, he let out a long and comfortable breath.

While living on Earth, he had a picky mouth and a bit of a picky eater.

But after the time travel, he ate the Body Tempering Pill mixed with prison food for a few days, and he didn't seem to be that picky anymore.

Back in the house, Lu Qing started practicing sword again.

Now it's just autumn, his clothes are thin, but he doesn't feel cold at all.

Still using fingers as swords, after practicing the swordsmanship again, he felt that he should have seen the tricks for the first time, at least he was quite familiar with the moves.

As for Gu Yinyu, she was already waiting in the pavilion.

Now when she wakes up every day, she will sit in the pavilion, quietly waiting for the young man to come to practice sword outside the pavilion.

For some reason, Lu Qing felt a little uncomfortable at first that someone was watching him all day long.But after a few days, now that Gu Yinyu is sitting by the side, he will feel more at ease.

The second master, Situ Yu, also came to the pavilion at some time.

"Hehe, the sword moves are getting more and more proficient." She commented.

"If the group of sword cultivators at Jianshan know that our apprentices have only just mastered sword moves, but their sword intent has already matured, I'm afraid our jaws will drop from shock." Situ Yu said: "Jianzun's apprentice Ye Kong is nothing compared to him."

Gu Yinyu ignored her.

Today's master is wearing a black Taoist robe as usual, with a Taoist bun on his head, and a simple wooden hairpin. Apart from that, there are no additional decorations.

Most of the time, she is like an ordinary Kun Dao, but she is a bit too cold and beautiful.

She was sitting on the stone bench with her legs together, a small wooden box was placed on her lap, and her two white and green jade hands were slightly pressing on the wooden box.

"What's inside?" Situ Yu asked.

Gu Yinyu just looked at Lu Qing for a while, then at the wooden box for a while, but still ignored her.

Situ Yu, who once again made himself boring, didn't take it seriously.She just waved her hand at Lu Qing, signaling him to come over and talk to him about something.

"Second Master, are you looking for me?" Lu Qing trotted over.

"Well, sit down." Situ Yu pointed to the stone bench opposite.

After Lu Qing sat down, he also noticed the wooden box on the master's legs.

Not to mention, Gu Yinyu always sat very upright, her figure was very straight, coupled with her cold demeanor, it gave people a sense of distance.

Situ Yu is another extreme, sitting or not sitting.

"Lu Qing, you know about Daomeng, right?" Situ Yu asked.

Lu Qing nodded.

In Xue Qing's memory, his aptitude was tested by the people of Xue's mansion, and he was confirmed to be of average aptitude.

Since then, it is equivalent to cutting off the thought of being cultivated by the Xue family.

However, the young man still did not give up on the road of cultivation, and even thought about going to the Dao League to try.

In fact, Daomeng is indeed a relatively loose organization, and it is very complicated.

You say it is an official sect established by Anguo, but it doesn't look like it.

But you say it is not right, it is like a sect, it can train monks.

Ordinary people with decent cultivation talents will be accepted by the Taoist League.

As long as there is no problem with the background of casual cultivators with cultivation bases, the Daoist League will accept them.

Even if you are a monk with a sect, as long as you are willing to come and serve, the Dao League may accept you.

Even if the master of a sect joins the Dao League with the entire sect, the Dao League will accept it.

In this place, the outside is loose and the inside is tight.

The imperial court established the Dao League because there were some irreconcilable conflicts with the sect, and the intention was huge.

But because I want too much, I am still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there are many factions inside.

Like the five alliance leaders, their ideas are different.

Situ Yu also told Lu Qing a little about this.

"Murong Yuan, the master of swordsmanship in the eighth realm, and Princess Chang are the steady sects in the Dao League."

"These two believe that the Dao League has the support of the imperial court, and it only needs to focus on cultivating disciples, recruiting newcomers, and grow gradually, just like the sect."

Lu Qing nodded, probably understood the meaning.

From the perspective of recruiting students, Zongmen is like a standing private school. Taking Jianshan as an example, it has gone through several generations of dynasties, and it is the holy land of swordsmanship in Anguo Jianxiu's heart.

Although a newly established public school like Daomeng has the backing of the imperial court, it is still not attractive enough.

People who are talented in kendo will still give priority to Jianshan, which makes Jianshan enter a virtuous circle.

Moreover, a large sect like Jianshan already had its own "recruitment channels" and its own stable "source of students".

Even, the sect has developed an existence similar to the family of swordsmanship.

In Lu Qing's concept, like on the earth, some countries have better private schools than public schools, and some countries do the opposite.

But the thoughts of Murong Yuan and the eldest princess cannot be said to be wrong.

Behind the Dao League is the imperial court after all, and the speed of development will not be slow.

It takes time for newcomers to grow up. Let's take it slowly and take one step at a time.

As for the other faction in the Taoist League, it is the so-called radical faction.

For example, one of the leaders of the Dao League, General Anguo, [Marquis of Wu] Xia Pan.

Xia Pan advocated annexation, starting with those small and medium-sized sects.

Talk first, then lure, if it doesn't work, then fight!
This is like leading an army to conquer a city. We, Anguo, first took down a few cities in Ruiguo, and then slowly "domesticated" them, making them completely belong to Anguo and become a part of Anguo.

Moreover, there are so many casual cultivators in the world, all of them can come to my Dao League to make a name for themselves.

Like compulsory conscription, most casual cultivators in Anguo can join the Taoist League.

Situ Yu told Lu Qing: "When the late Emperor was in power, his idea was to seek stability."

"In fact, over the past few decades, the Daoist League has indeed cultivated many geniuses of its own."

"Among them, Xue Ping is the most astoundingly talented." When she said this, she glanced at Lu Qing.

"He has already reached the seventh stage at a young age. It can be said that he is the best in the world. Even the disciples of those big sects are incomparable to him."

"And judging from his recent performance, it is estimated that his cultivation is still hidden, and he may have reached the eighth realm!"

Lu Qing: "..."

Good guy, the cultivation genius cultivated by the imperial court went directly to dig the emperor's ancestral grave.

The main focus is one——Mr. Zuka planed the country.

Situ Yu continued: "As for the current Emperor An... His attitude is a bit different from that of the late Emperor, but it has something to do with the current national conditions of Anguo, so I can't explain it in a few words."

Lu Qing asked: "Second Master wants me to sneak into the Dao League?"

Situ Yu chewed on Lu Qing's words, he used sneak in, not join.

This kid, has he assumed the role so quickly?
It's pretty quick to adapt.

Situ Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then what is my specific task?" Lu Qing asked.

This stopped Situ Yu from asking, because the leader didn't say anything.

"There is no task, the most important thing for you now is to practice."

Lu Qing nodded, expressing his understanding.

Speaking of it, he was not nervous at all, but a little excited.

In fact, it can be seen from his various misdeeds on earth that he is not a peaceful master.

After all, would a law-abiding person play a gambling agreement with a beautiful tutor who came to his home to teach?
"And judging from the current situation, I should have something to do with Xue Ping, at least something to do with the digging of the imperial tomb." He thought to himself.

"Daomeng, Xue Ping..." He thought in his heart, thinking that he could pay more attention in the future.

The sooner you clear these things up, the safer you will be.

What's more, he is a man and cannot join the Hongchen sect, so in essence, he is not much different from the kind of casual cultivators without sects.

"Backed by the organization, there are many benefits. Joining the Taoist League will help me develop secretly." Anyway, he thought so.

Just step on a few more boats under your feet.

I am familiar with this set!

"Second Master, how do I enter this Dao League?" Lu Qing asked.

"The Taoist League in Kyoto is on Qinglong Street. After you go there, just say that you want to join the Taoist League. You just go to make a name first and go through some procedures. Don't worry." Situ Yu said.

"Okay, then I'll go later?" Lu Qing asked.

"Okay." Situ Yu nodded.

Just when the two felt that the conversation was over, Gu Yinyu, who had been silent and did nothing, suddenly placed the wooden box on her jade leg on the stone table.

She slowly pushed the wooden box in front of Lu Qing, then stared at him without saying a word.

"Master, for me?" Lu Qing asked.

Qing Leng Taoist nodded vigorously.
