Chapter 2586
Yan Aohan also praised from the side, "It is indeed so. Do not think that guiding Qi into the body is a simple matter. The path of cultivation has never had anything easy. Since you have successfully guided Qi into your body, it means you can now cultivate on your own."
Yan Aohan casually took out several jade slips and handed them to Zhu Zhibin. "These are some basic techniques suitable for a fire constitution. Start cultivating with these first. When we reach the Cultivation World, I will find other ways for you."
Actually, there was no need to explain further. Yan Aohan had already decided to ask the Black Emperor for help.
The Black Emperor possessed an absolute abundance of techniques, covering every type imaginable. Given Zhu Zhibin’s special circumstances, it was impossible not to seek techniques from him.
Both Zhu Yanyi and the Black Emperor had their own plans, but they would not tell Zhu Zhibin.
However, Zhu Zhibin was not foolish. She naturally understood that finding a technique suitable for her would not be easy. Since Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan had promised to find a technique for her, they would surely pay a certain price for it.
Zhu Zhibin could only silently keep this kindness in his heart, without daring to think too much about the true cost.
So, Zhu Zhibin accepted the jade slips from Yan Aohan and began cultivating according to the methods Yan Aohan had taught him. Even without a perfectly suitable technique, basic cultivation was still necessary.
Throughout the journey, Zhu Zhibin remained calm and focused on her cultivation. Zhu Yanyi watched her progress and nodded slightly. At least, her foundation was solid.
About a month later, they finally entered the plane of the Cultivation World.
The spiritual energy in the Cultivation World was extremely abundant. After a month of cultivation, Zhu Zhibin broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation as soon as he entered.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "Wow, your cultivation speed is too fast! In just one month, you’ve reached the mid-stage of Qi Condensation."
Although true cultivation begins at Foundation Establishment, one must first master Qi Condensation. If one cannot even succeed in Qi Condensation, they have no hope of cultivating in this life. Zhu Zhibin had not only successfully guided Qi into his body but also advanced from the early to the mid-stage of Qi Condensation in just one month. Such talent was truly rare.
"This talent is truly exceptional," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
"My talent and spiritual roots are only here because you helped me, Sister," Zhu Zhibin replied with a shy smile.
Zhu Yanyi chuckled softly. "That is true, but I still did not expect you to reach the mid-stage of Qi Condensation so quickly."
Yan Aohan thought for a moment and then said, "Let’s find a place to settle down first. Wife, you stay with your brother-in-law and guide him through basic exercises. I will go find a suitable technique for him."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Let’s follow your arrangement."
The three of them found a secluded, single-family courtyard in the Cultivation World. The spiritual energy here was also quite abundant. Naturally, they bought the place to avoid future troubles.
After arranging things for Zhu Yanyi and Zhu Zhibin, Yan Aohan broke through the air and left to find a technique.
Zhu Yanyi began tidying up the place.
Since it was a single-family courtyard, the yard was quite empty. Zhu Yanyi decided to plant vegetables and medicinal herbs there, while Zhu Zhibin continued cultivating in her room.
Besides Zhu Zhibin, Zhu Yanyi did not need to eat or drink. However, considering that Zhu Zhibin could not yet abstain from food, she prepared three meals every day. The ingredients were plentiful in her Ruyi Space.
One day, Zhu Zhibin came out of his room, tilting his head with a confused look on his face.
Zhu Yanyi, who was planting medicinal herbs in the yard, raised her eyebrows slightly upon seeing her. "What’s wrong? You look confused. Did something happen?"
Zhu Zhibin said, "Sister, I found that my cultivation was fast at first, but now it seems to have slowed down from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Qi Condensation."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed. "I thought it was something serious. Actually, this is very common."
"Common?" Zhu Zhibin looked at Zhu Yanyi in confusion, not understanding why she would use that word.
Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "It is truly common. For cultivators, if their state of mind does not break through, daily cultivation only consolidates their existing foundation without bringing further improvement. Your cultivation is slowing down because your state of mind has not yet broken through."
Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "A state of mind comes when it comes. In my opinion, what you need to do now is not to bury your head in hard study, but to live a normal life."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yanyi glanced at Zhu Zhibin. "Since coming to the Cultivation World, you have not properly understood the true reality of this world. You have only buried your head in cultivation.
To put it plainly, you are no different from an otaku in the mortal world. You should know that in the mortal world, otakus might gain knowledge through computers and intelligence, but because they do not interact with people for a long time, their state of mind degenerates. Some become unsuitable for public view, while others become timid as mice. Such people are unlikely to achieve great things."
Zhu Yanyi’s expression remained calm. "You are currently walking the path of an otaku, except you are walking the path of a Cultivation World otaku."
Zhu Zhibin was a genius after all, so she naturally understood what Zhu Yanyi meant. "Then, Sister, what do you suggest I do?"
Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "It’s actually very simple. Just live your daily life. For example, get to know your neighbors, and go out to see the situation outside this Cultivation World. To be honest, this is my first time in the Cultivation World too. Because of my special circumstances, I ascended directly to immortality back then. But your path is the one ordinary cultivators must walk, so you can only take it step by step."
"Alright, then I will stop cultivating for now and take a look," Zhu Zhibin said seriously.
"En," Zhu Yanyi agreed. "You can help me plant medicinal herbs first. Then, I will take you out for a walk. This Cultivation World is actually quite nice. I asked around a few days ago, and there is a supply shop nearby. The shop not only sells daily necessities and medicinal herbs but also has some books. They may not be techniques suitable for you, but some books can broaden your horizons. I will take you to see them later."
"Okay." As a newcomer to cultivation, Zhu Zhibin knew that listening to his sister would never be wrong.
Seeing Zhu Zhibin’s attitude, Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "Do not worry too much. The most important thing in cultivation is to follow the will of heaven and let nature take its course. Although we are beings who defy the heavens, our hearts must still follow the will of heaven."
"I have remembered it, Sister." Zhu Zhibin knew this was Zhu Yanyi’s experience, so she naturally kept it firmly in mind.
