155: Chapter 154 The Teaching Methods of Geniuses

After Qilin finished listening, she instantly let out a huge sigh of relief, raising a hand to pat her chest. "I thought I'd have to read it word by word, which would take hard grinding for a few years. Who knew that Spiritual Sense would be so convenient!"

Bai Yuekui watched from the side, unable to help herself from smiling.

Ye Qingxuan helplessly glanced at Qilin, raised his hand to set up a Spirit Gathering Grand Array, and casually tossed out hundreds of Spirit Stones. The Spiritual Qi inside the array became so dense that it directly transformed into a hazy white mist-liquid.

He raised his hand to point into the array.

"Go on in. This array can gather Spiritual Qi and also allow you to undergo Inedia. Cultivate with peace of mind and ask if you don't understand. Although your Super Gene is average, it has at least tempered your body and meridians, so you don't need to eat Marrow Cleansing Pills anymore."

Qilin walked into the array with a bitter expression, sat cross-legged, and quietly cultivated.

Watching her obedient cultivation posture, Ye Qingxuan nodded in gratification, praising her inwardly: As expected of the person I chose, her self-awareness is unquestionable.

Bai Yuekui rolled her eyes aside. Who teaches people like this?

The National Fortune Live Broadcast Room comment section was constantly flooded:

[Daoist Ye teaches people with a primary focus on a laissez-faire teaching style—a cup of tea for apprenticeship, a stack of books for entering the sect.]

[A typical top Genius who doesn't know how to mentor disciples; resources and Spirit Stones are fully provided, and the rest relies entirely on self-comprehension.]

[Is this supposed to be savage growth? Throwing everything at Qilin and leaving her to figure it out entirely by herself.]

[When others take an apprentice, the Master teaches hand-in-hand. When it comes to Daoist Ye, it's direct self-service immortality cultivation.]

[Fortunately, the Innate Dao Body has a strong Foundation. If an ordinary person were taught like this, they would have been ruined long ago.]

[Looking at the scalp-numbingly thick pile, Qilin's expression of wanting to quit the sect is too realistic, like a worker forced to return to school.]

[Ye Qingxuan: I manage the resources, cultivation depends on fate, and whatever you manage to learn depends entirely on your own Opportunity.]

[High-Realm mighty figures have a different mindset from ordinary people; they think basic common sense can be understood just by looking at it.]

[With the Spirit Gathering Array, Spirit Stones, and a full set of classics backing her up, even laissez-faire raising is much better than the conditions of all other Cultivators in the world.]

In the CCTV Broadcast Room, Celestial Master Zhang and Master Kongming turned their heads at the same time to look at Master Yuanxin.

Celestial Master Zhang couldn't help speaking up: "Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to remind Qingxuan? Such a rare, good sapling of the Innate Dao Body, if she continues to be raised in this laissez-faire manner, sooner or later her Dao Heart will be shattered from cultivation."

Master Kongming chanted a Buddhist name repeatedly and shook his head helplessly: "Amitabha, Immortal Master Qingxuan truly doesn't know how to teach people. His Comprehension Ability is supreme, and he subconsciously feels that everyone should be just like him—understanding at a single glance and mastering at a single try."

The host, Little Nun, looked thoughtful and chimed in: "Why do I feel that Daoist Ye's approach to teaching people is somewhat like Old Qian's educational philosophy? Extreme simplification, ultra-fast talent formation—is this completely a Genius-style cultivation model?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yuanxin's expression shifted, and he struggled repeatedly in his heart.

He was afraid that Qilin's mentality would collapse from Ye Qingxuan's demonic teaching, yet he also deeply knew that Ye Qingxuan should... have... a sense of propriety... right?

After remaining silent for a long time, his tone carried thick uncertainty: "Forget it... Let's wait and see. Qingxuan should have a sense of propriety. After such a long period of tempering, he should understand that not everyone has Comprehension Ability like his. It should... be, right?"

At the end of his words, even he himself was not very certain.

At the same time, Blue Star's Maoshan.

Ye Qingxuan's Senior Brothers silently looked at Qilin, who was burying herself in hard cultivation inside the Spirit Gathering Array, each of them wearing helpless expressions on their faces.

Qingming sighed softly: "Well, it seems our Junior Brother is going to have a hard time."

Qingyun nodded slowly from the side, gazing at the screen: "However, I hope Qingxuan can show some mercy with his mouth."

Qingyun recalled how Ye Qingxuan had previously taught someone to Cultivate, scolding that little junior nephew Xihe until he couldn't raise his head. Now, Xihe was in the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Qingmo looked at Qilin sympathetically, finding it somewhat unbearable to keep watching.

On Blue Star, a crowd of geniuses of the same generation as Ye Qingxuan from Tianshi Mansion, Wudang Sect, Shenxiao Sect, Yaowang Valley, Baiyun Temple, and Heavenly Demon Palace were all guarding the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room.

Everyone's complexion was exceptionally odd, and their gazes were extremely complex.

They were all geniuses of the current era, whose Aptitudes crushed their fellow sect disciples, yet before Ye Qingxuan, there was always a chasm-like distance behind.

At this moment, watching Ye Qingxuan's laissez-faire teaching methods, everyone simultaneously felt a sense of sympathy for Qilin.

Everyone understood this kind of torture; cultivating alongside a top Genius was the most painful thing.

Ye Qingxuan's standards, Comprehension Ability, vision, and cultivation speed completely jumped out of conventional logic.

The Foundations that he felt were simple were, when placed on ordinary people, barriers as difficult to cross as ascending to heaven.

The crowd of peer geniuses sighed inwardly one after another: Qilin, this child, has it too hard.

No matter how Heaven-Defying the Aptitude of the Innate Dao Body is, encountering a Senior Brother like Ye Qingxuan who lacked ordinary people's cognition meant the pressure was fully maxed out.

National Destiny Space——

Time passed bit by bit, and Spiritual Qi churned within the Spirit Gathering Array at the back mountain of Maoshan.

Qilin sat steadily in the center of the array, cultivating with the aid of the dense, liquefied Spiritual Qi.

Relying on the Aptitude of the Innate Dao Body, plus the blessing of massive Spirit Stones, her aura steadily climbed, becoming increasingly profound and translucent.

Three hours later, Dao charms circulated around Qilin's body, and her aura completely stabilized. She converted her Qi Refining third-layer cultivation base into the Shangqing Qi Refining Technique, establishing a solid Foundation with her every Move carrying a faint clear aura of the Daoist sect.

Qilin slowly withdrew her technique, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and opened her eyes. Her pupils were clear and vibrant, and her entire temperament took on a brand-new look.

She stood up, walked before Ye Qingxuan, and respectfully bowed: "Senior Brother, I have completely converted my cultivation into the spiritual power of the Shangqing Qi Refining Technique."

Ye Qingxuan's gaze swept across the aura around her body, and with a simple probe of his Divine Sense, he saw everything clearly, a faint flash of disdain crossing his eyes.

He nodded slightly, neither deliberately flattering nor harshly finding fault: "Qi connects the macrocosm, circulating endlessly. Although it was a bit slow, since you are newly entering the Daoist gate, you were able to Cultivate a solid Foundation without being floaty, and your Heart-Nature can also be considered steadfast."

Just a few simple comments, fair and objective.

After listening, Qilin instantly let out a breath of relief, her hanging heart completely settling down as a trace of relieved smiles appeared on her face.

Ye Qingxuan looked at Qilin: "If you have any other doubts regarding cultivation, you can ask now."

Qilin immediately seized the Opportunity, asking in detail item by item about the obscure chants and opaque operational details she encountered during cultivation.

Ye Qingxuan was full of patience, dissecting and explaining them item by item with clear logic, every sentence pointing directly to the core.

On Maoshan, the Senior Brother and Junior Sister engaged in a question-and-answer session, the scene exceptionally harmonious.

In the National Fortune Live Broadcast Room, the full screen was filled with amazements and complaints:

[Three hours! She forcefully chewed through the obscure chants and even reached Perfection?!]

[This speed is already at the Prodigy level, yet Daoist Ye only gave a breezy statement of so-so? I could even see the disdain deep in his eyes!]

[No way around it, who told Uncle-Master Qingxuan to be so outrageous! Uncle-Master entered the sect in just half an hour back in the Dharma-Ending Era!]

[Sigh, but I've experienced Uncle-Master Qingxuan's teaching; truly, past events are too unbearable to look back on!]

[The person upstairs, are you a Daoist Master of the Shangqing Sect? Tell us about it!]

[If it weren't for the scarcity of resources back then, Uncle-Master Qingxuan could have surged straight from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in a single year. Who can compare to that?! As a result, he used his own standards to demand this poor Taoist!]

This bullet comment carried thick resentment and an incomparably bitter tone; everyone who saw it wore expressions of sympathy.

Indeed! In the eyes of ordinary people, Qilin was already a peerless Genius, but in Ye Qingxuan's standards, she could only be considered barely qualified.

Watching this harmonious question-and-answer scene between the Senior Brother and junior sister, the crowd simultaneously sighed at Daoist Ye's meticulousness in imparting the Dao, while secretly sympathizing with Qilin. Landing a ceiling-level Senior Brother meant her cultivation pressure going forward was truly maxed out.

Just as the two were engaged in questions and answers, imparting the Dao and resolving doubts, a questioning bullet comment suddenly popped up in the live broadcast room.

[Did anyone notice the problem? Daoist Ye is directly and publicly explaining the Shangqing Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique with the whole world watching. Isn't he afraid that spies from other countries will secretly learn it?]

This bullet comment instantly drew countless replies.

[Learn? Can you learn it? Even if you memorize the text word for word, without that Comprehension Ability, Dao Heart, and Foundation, you still won't understand a damn thing!]

[Qilin is already a one-in-ten-thousand Genius; if an ordinary person came to listen, it would be listening to heavenly books the whole way through!]

[The person upstairs, I thank you so much. I'm precisely the one listening to heavenly books.]

[Me too. Although Daoist Ye explained it very clearly, I still can't understand it, yet Qilin has a sudden epiphany-like appearance?]

[No way? Is the Innate Dao Body that awesome?]

At this moment, a golden pinned bullet comment slowly drifted across.

[It is merely an introductory Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique. My Shangqing teachings encompass all without discrimination. Being able to understand it and learn it is their own Opportunity. The fundamental scripture, Shangqing Dadong Scripture, has not been passed down, so it is of no consequence. Furthermore, those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die. Since Qingxuan dared to lecture publicly, he was not afraid of it leaking at all.]

[Fellow Daoist Qingming is right. The Dao is not transmitted to the unworthy, and the Dharma is not transmitted to six ears. Learning his Dharma will forge Karma with Fellow Daoist Qingxuan, which will sooner or later have to be repaid.]

In the CCTV Broadcast Room, Master Yuanxin saw this golden bullet comment and immediately nodded with a smile.

The viewers in the live broadcast room instantly understood and flooded the screen in agreement.

[So that's the logic! The cultivation world has never feared others learning Moves!]

[Copying someone else's Dao means being completely trapped in the shadow of predecessors for the rest of one's life!]

[That's right! Blindly imitating and replicating without one's own Dao Heart comprehension sets the upper limit of one's cultivation for life, making it impossible to ever become a top powerhouse!]

[Always inferior to Daoist Ye? That's not bad either! I still have self-awareness!]

[The person upstairs is a man of great talent!]

National Destiny Space——

At the back mountain of Maoshan, Ye Qingxuan dissected every mystery of the Shangqing Qi Refining Technique sentence by sentence. Qilin listened and nodded repeatedly, wearing an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Beside them, Bai Yuekui's eyes were rolling almost up to the heavens. With her half-step Integration cultivation comprehension, even she found some parts of Ye Qingxuan's explanation only half-understood.

But seeing how Qilin understood at a single hint and continuously generated comprehensions, she was secretly shocked inside: Is the Innate Dao Body this outrageous?

Only after the Spiritual Qi recovery did Qilin's Aptitude and Comprehension Ability of the Innate Dao Body fully manifest, allowing her to barely keep up with Ye Qingxuan's train of thought. If it were ordinary Cultivators, they would only be completely baffled, as if listening to heavenly books.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan paused slightly, waved his hand, and a flash of golden light swept past.

A Three-Flower Cat the size of a tiger cub appeared out of thin air, exuding the pressure of the Middle Stage of Return to Void.

Qilin looked at Xiaojiu, her eyes shining brightly. Which girl could refuse a cute little cat?

"Senior Brother, is this the Xiaojiu that fought a great battle against Kesha?"

Bai Yuekui's eyes suddenly lit up as she stepped forward and asked: "Has Xiaojiu finished its Breakthrough?"

Ye Qingxuan nodded gently. When he released Xiaojiu just now, he immediately isolated its pressure; otherwise, the newly-entered Qilin would have been instantly crushed to pieces, and the entire Maoshan would have been razed to the ground.

A moment later, Xiaojiu fully retracted its aura, flashed with golden light to return to the size of an ordinary cat, and opened its eyes to see Ye Qingxuan and Bai Yuekui.

It immediately let out a meow and leaped onto Ye Qingxuan's shoulder, opening its mouth to declare: "Taoist priest, Taoist priest! This meow has broken through! Where is that winged female fatty? Quickly tell this meow, this time I will definitely shatter her defense!"

Ye Qingxuan was left speechless for a moment.

Bai Yuekui exasperatedly tapped the little cat's head and smiled helplessly: "You little fellow, why are you just like your Master, narrow-minded and holding grudges?"

Ye Qingxuan immediately glared at Bai Yuekui, his look clearly refuting: Am I narrow-minded? Where on earth did you see that?

Seeing this, Bai Yuekui playfully stuck out her tongue and stopped teasing him.

Xiaojiu looked at Qilin beside them and asked curiously: "Taoist priest, who is this female fatty?"

Qilin was left speechless, pointing at her own nose: "Female fatty? Me?"
