Chapter 35 Family School
Shen Ruiling returned to his cave, and his insights on the day and night benefited him a lot, paving the way for him to be promoted to a third-level alchemist in the future.
After being promoted to the second-level top-grade alchemist, not only did the family's salary increase a lot, but Shen Ruiling could earn a lot of extra money by himself. In case of need, the clan members would prepare elixirs to ask Shen Ruiling to help refine the alchemy.
As the days pass by day, Shen Ruiling's cultivation and alchemy skills have improved. With the increase of cultivation resources, Shen Ruiling now takes pills in the late stage of Qi training once a month.
Shen Ruiling himself also felt that his qualifications were not good, and he could only be considered a medium qualification. It was okay in the early and middle stages of Qi training. There was a grandfather of an alchemist. With the lack of elixirs and his hard work, his cultivation was improved at a speed comparable to that of a cultivator with two spiritual roots.
However, after the late stage of Qi training, Shen Ruiling could rely on less resources and could only rely on pills to improve his cultivation speed. Building foundation before the age of 40 was the goal he set for himself.
Generally, monks who build foundations after the age of forty often have poor qualifications and stay in the early stage of foundation building throughout their lives. They will not do much, and there is no possibility of foundation building after the age of sixty.
So he is now fighting against time. He is now thirty years old. He has to build a foundation after practicing Qixi in ten years. Time is still very urgent. Although he is very confident in his foundation building, he still has to stay for a few years to prevent any accidents.
As an alchemist, of course, he knows the dangers of elixirs, but it is not so important in the face of foundation-building. Shen Ruiling will eliminate elixirs as much as possible every time, and with a marrow-cleaning pill in his hand, Shen Ruiling still knows the elixirs.
...
"Okay, tell the patriarch that I'll clean up and go." Shen Ruiling said.
After Shen Ruiling was promoted to the second-level top-grade alchemist, he was the one who was the one who was the most knowledgeable about alchemy on Yunbi Peak.
So at the suggestion of Shen Huanyan, the fourth elder in charge of the family school, Shen Ruiling asked Shen Ruiling to take some time every day to teach some alchemy knowledge, and to see if there are any seedlings among the young family children. Shen Huanyan was afraid that she could not invite Shen Ruiling, so she asked the clan leader to speak.
Of course, Shen Ruiling had no objection to these things. He had been in the family school for nine years and learned a lot of knowledge of cultivation from it. He was also willing to do something for the family within his ability.
...
Shen Ruiling was very familiar with the family school. This was a short mountain with only a second-level spiritual vein, but it was enough for the children inside to practice.
Several rows of tiled houses are arranged in the open space. The largest house in front is a place where the clan elders teach cultivation knowledge. Several of the tiled houses in the back contain some simple books, most of which are mortals of the level of things, and the top martial arts secrets in the mortal world are included. There are still some miscellaneous items piled up, and the views of the house are connected by corridors.
The rows of houses in the back are for accommodation for children who are attending school. During the nine-year tribal education period, most of them lived in the school. The family first aimed to cultivate the feelings of their peers from an early age, so that family members can have cohesion in the future. Secondly, it is also to cultivate children's independence, and not everything is handled by parents.
When Shen Ruiling walked into the gate, he first found an open-air martial arts performance venue, which not only had various mortal weapons and wooden stakes, but also were places where children in the family practiced martial arts.
Ordinary martial arts are of great use to monks in the Qi training stage. Cultivators who have practiced martial arts are quick and their meridians are thicker than those of ordinary people, and they also have a good promotion effect on future spell casting.
The monks in the early and middle stages of Qi training have few attack methods and only know a few small spells, so the family generally does not arrange for them to leave the clan. Even so, sometimes these children die for unknown reasons.
This is a loss for a family, and one and a half-stage of learning ordinary martial arts can also be prepared for emergencies. Therefore, practicing martial arts by these families is also a lesson that must be trained in recent years.
Shen Ruiling walked into the spacious house behind the martial arts field and saw about a dozen children, all of whom were found to have spiritual roots. At this time, he was listening to an old man above teaching the common texts in the cultivation world, but some of these children were obviously wandering.
On the surface, he looked focused, but in fact, he could see that his eyes and pupils were stunned and were big and unconscious. I thought that my thoughts had long since floated away from this school and I don’t know where to go to wander.
During the first two years of schooling, the elderly in the clan taught the common characters of the human race in Lingnan and the rules and regulations that families must abide by. The writing is not only popular in this era, but also some ancient characters that have disappeared must also be learned. In the future, you may be able to get a lot of opportunities by knowing a few more words when you walk out.
Family rules and disciplines must be learned from an early age, which can also improve these children's sense of identity with the family.
In the next few years, some clan members with superb skills in the family will be interspersed with some cultivation techniques such as refining medicine, talisman making, etc. Of course, sometimes they will be asked to learn the necessary methods of planting, breeding, and textiles, which are necessary for family children. Of course, ordinary casual cultivators are not treated so well, and they all rely on their own thinking.
These children have learned the knowledge of spiritual medicines and distinguished the knowledge of refining materials from childhood. When a casual cultivator encounters a certain treasure at the same time as them, the casual cultivator often misses the opportunity because he does not recognize it, or the value of the treasure is deprecated due to improper preservation.
However, the family members know how to collect and preserve such things. Whether they use them or sell them, they can maximize their benefits and promote their own practice.
Shen Ruiling looked at these little guys and couldn't help but think of the time he spent here.
I remember that the first class that year was about telling them about the history of the family creation. Shen Ruiling still remembers what a clan elder said.
"The ancestors were not yet in their business, but the middle way collapsed. Our descendants will continue the will of our ancestors..."
This is also the spiritual concept of the Shen family heirloom, and he strives for the rise of the family.
Just when Shen Ruiling was in memory, the old man who was teaching also saw Shen Ruiling entering the door and said to the child below:
"You guys study for yourself!"
After saying that, he led Shen Ruiling to a room.
"The Four Elders are inside."
"Okay, I'll go in by myself." After saying that, Shen Ruiling bid farewell to the old man and pushed the door and went in.
The room is decorated very elegantly, with some landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, a desk, a bookcase, and a chair.
An old man was painting on the desk, leisurely and contented. He was wearing a green robe, with a beard and a white hair, but his behavior revealed an extraordinary atmosphere of bookishness.
This person is really the four elders in the clan. He is Shen Huanyan. Although he has the cultivation of great perfection in Qi cultivation, he loves calligraphy and painting more and more. Teaching and educating people, and compiling books is his greatest hobby. This is also an alien among the monks who pursue immortality.
"It is rumored that the fourth elders have extraordinary painting skills, and it seems that they are free and easy." Shen Ruiling said in his heart, preparing to go and appreciate the paintings that Shen Huanyan was.
I saw that under the rising sun, a spiritual mountain seemed full of vitality, the houses on the mountain were as beautiful as the fields at the foot of the mountain, and the spiritual fields extended toward the horizon...
"Isn't this the family Yun Bifeng?"
Shen Ruiling thought to himself. It was just that the Yunbi Peak on the painting became even more charming.
The old man put down his brush, saw Shen Ruiling beside him, and smiled:
"Rui Ling is here! Look at my painting?" He pointed to the painting on the table at the same time.
"Very good, it's more beautiful than the Yunbi Peak that Ruiling saw." Shen Ruiling replied respectfully.
"Haha, it turns out that you can compliment people like the little ghosts in the front room."
"This is Yun Bifeng in my heart, but if we look like this, our struggle is indispensable." Chen Huanyan sighed.
"Rueling believes that he will do it."
"It's good for you to have this ambition. The family will depend on your generation in the future." Chen Huanyan said kindly.
"Okay, you should know what I'm looking for you, what do you think?" Chen Huanyan asked.
"Reported to the fourth elder, Ruiling thinks this is feasible. Cultivating their alchemy skills as soon as possible is also beneficial to them. Alchemy, as the four arts of cultivation, can also help them accumulate cultivation resources by themselves. Moreover, the family has a good alchemy inheritance, so it can be used." Shen Ruiling thought for a while and replied.
"I think so too. Now they are only exposed to some alchemy fur. You are the second-level alchemist in the family, so you are here to invite you."
"I know that you are the most important thing in your cultivation now. Just come for a while every day. Leave the rest to us a few old guys." Chen Huanyan said with an apology on her face.
"I am willing to contribute to the family." Shen Ruiling bowed.
"Okay, I'll prepare for you now." Chen Huanyan smiled and ordered.
