After returning to his residence, Xu You felt relaxed. In any case, he finally settled in the Lei family and had a goal in his cultivation path.
He did not practice immediately, but took out a jade slip, put his spiritual sense into it, and began to look.
This jade slip is a handbook for the children of the Lei family. It explains in detail the history of the Lei family, the surrounding environment, spiritual power, and some precautions. It is equivalent to a training guide for the children of the aristocratic family.
The manual marked the spiritual forces within a radius of thousands of miles with Fenglei Town as the center. There were many spiritual families among them, but most of them were first- and second-level families, and there were only two third-level families.
In addition, there are several spiritual sects, among which is the Taichu Sect. Xu You was shocked when he saw it, but when he saw that the Taichu Sect was more than five thousand miles away from the Lei family, he felt slightly relieved.
rest assured.
The Lu family is also marked in the manual, but it is also far away from the Lei family, and there is not much description about the Lu family, which means that the two families have very little intersection and almost no chance of meeting.
The two closest spiritual families to the Lei family are the Zhou family and the Yue family, which are only a few hundred miles apart.
The three are all second-level families with similar strength. Although they have a good relationship on the surface and meet frequently, their secret relationship is also quite subtle, and there may be some sense of competition.
Apart from this, there are some scattered casual cultivators, but except for a few strong casual cultivators, most of the casual cultivators are extremely ordinary and cannot be compared with the aristocratic sects.
The manual only details the area within a radius of ten thousand miles. As for the area outside the area, there is only a rough area name. For example, the east is a powerful dynasty called the Ming Dynasty, and the west is endless mountains and forests with countless spiritual beasts and so on.
As for outside these areas, there are no markings anymore, and the Lei family must not know about it either.
In fact, Xu You traveled through three years and still didn't know how big the spiritual world was. This alien world seemed to have no end, and no matter what map it was, it could only show a nearby area.
He once asked his sister this question, but she only told him that the spiritual world is as big as your imagination.
As a second-level aristocratic family, the Lei family has developed for hundreds of years and established several branches. It is currently in a period of vigorous development, with its power and territory expanding further.
Although the children of the Lei family are divided into foreign surnames and Lei surnames, the real distinction is only between core children and ordinary children. However, the assessment for children with foreign surnames to enter the core is more stringent.
Generally speaking, children of the Lei family can be considered for entry into the core as long as they have cultivated to the middle stage of the spiritual body. Children with other surnames need to reach the late stage of the spiritual body or make outstanding contributions.
Moreover, only the Lei family can control the allocation of resources and have decision-making power. Even if children with other surnames enter the core, they will only hold temporary positions or do specific tasks.
This is normal. Of course, aristocratic families must rely on bloodline inheritance to develop. No matter how outstanding the children with other surnames are, they are not their own family. In contrast, the Lei family is quite enlightened. Some spiritual families do not recruit children with other surnames at all.
Ordinary children of the Lei family are assessed twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year. If they fail the assessment and make little contribution, the children of the Lei family can still rely on the shadow of their ancestors to survive, while the children with other surnames can only be eliminated and left.
The so-called contribution means that in addition to practicing, you must also complete various tasks assigned by the family. Then the Lei family will give a certain amount of contribution based on the completion of the tasks. There is a complete system.
The higher the cultivation level and the greater the contribution, the greater the hope of becoming a core disciple.
If you can enter the core, you will basically have peace of mind. Whether it is status or resource supply, it will be different from ordinary children.
Of course, being able to become an ordinary child of the Lei family with a foreign surname is also a high honor. Without certain potential or contribution, the Lei family will not look down upon them at all. This is why children with a foreign surname think highly of themselves.
When Xu You saw this, he put down the manual and looked thoughtful.
"Although I have entered the Lei family and officially started my cultivation journey, it is not all smooth sailing."
"Lei Zhenshan is lukewarm to me, and he will probably turn his back on me in the future. And I offended Lei Dong, who secretly instigated people with foreign surnames to suppress me. He will definitely make things difficult for me in the future."
"Although Miss Qinglan said she could help me, she is in extreme grief, so how can I be embarrassed to ask her for help."
"No one can point you here, you can only rely on yourself. Therefore, it is fundamental to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. At the same time, you must be familiar with the environment, use your brain more, and take advantage of all available conditions, so that you will not be passive."
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. First, let's understand the rules of the Lei family, the relationships between the characters, and their character weaknesses."
Xu You thought about it, he was thoughtful, especially when he was in a disadvantageous situation, he was even more calm, and he quickly came up with ideas to deal with it.
Next, Xu You read the entire Disciple Manual. Since practicing the Spiritual God Art, he has an amazing memory. He only read it once and memorized the contents in his mind, never to forget it again.
Then, Xu You took out the jade slips and began to select new basic spiritual skills to practice.
There are more than twenty basic spiritual arts in the jade slips. Although not many, they cover a very comprehensive range and include all attributes. Xu You plans to practice all the basic spiritual arts and be able to cast them instantly before starting to practice.
The elementary spiritual skills obtained by those three disciples of the Taichu Sect.
I practiced all night and was speechless.
The next day, Xu You got up early, washed up, ate the breakfast delivered by his servants, and rushed to the Lei family's training ground.
The training ground is where ordinary children of the Lei family practice, and Lei Quan has already introduced it to him. The practice of ordinary children is guided by the core disciples in turn. Sometimes, elders in the spiritual stage and even the head of the family, Lei Zhenshan, will come in person to impart experience.
After all, the children are the foundation of the family. The stronger the children are, the stronger the family is.
Xu You arrived at the training ground quite early. Only a small number of ordinary disciples came, and most of them were chatting and waiting in twos and threes.
Compared to those children with other surnames who were full of hostility, the children of the Lei family were more enthusiastic towards Xu You. Some of them were familiar with Lei Chen and even came over to chat with him.
Xu You understood that this was not because the children of the Lei family were approachable, but because he had no interest in them.
But this is exactly what Xu You wants. He wants to know more about the situation of the Lei family, so dealing with the children of the Lei family is essential. This is an opportunity.
Although he doesn't like to talk, but after many years of experience, observing people's emotions is the most basic ability. Although he doesn't talk much, he often hits the point, never perfunctory, and makes people feel comfortable and natural.
Those children of the Lei family only wanted to chat with him, but they didn't expect that the conversation got out of hand. Soon, they felt like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Many children with foreign surnames saw it, and their eyes flashed with disgust, feeling that Xu You was deliberately trying to gain the favor of the children of the Lei family.
Soon, as all the ordinary disciples arrived, a young man in his thirties with an average appearance slowly walked out in front of the training ground.
"He is my cousin Lei Fang, who is in the late spiritual stage and one of the strongest core disciples of the Lei family. My goal is to reach his level." A Lei family disciple who had a pleasant conversation with Xu You said in a low voice,
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Xu Li nodded. In fact, Lei Quan had met Lei Fang when he took him around, but he didn't know if Lei Fang still remembered him.
Lei Fang saw him at a glance, nodded slightly, obviously impressed by him, and said loudly: "There are new ordinary disciples joining today, so before everyone practices, I still want to emphasize some common sense in practice."
Xu You's heart moved and he listened attentively. He had been practicing all by himself before, and although it had been going well, he didn't have any confidence. The main reason why he wanted to join the Lei family was to have someone to guide him.
Lei Fang's expression was serious: "Everyone knows that the first three realms of spiritual cultivation are the spiritual body realm, the spiritual realm, and the soul realm. Each realm is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage. Especially the spiritual body stage is the first level of cultivation.
Realm is also the foundation of cultivation. When a tall building rises from the ground, it is extremely important to lay a solid foundation. From this aspect, no matter how solid the foundation is, it is never too much."
"The second point is that if you want to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, you must practice martial arts. If you want to increase your combat power as soon as possible, you must practice spiritual arts. This is also a familiar thing to everyone. But you know that many people are eager for quick success and do not wait.
When your spirit body is in a stable state in the early stages, you will rush to practice the exercises. You will not wait until you are proficient in the basic spiritual arts to practice elementary spiritual arts. This may increase your strength in a short time, but in the long run, it will only weaken your foundation.
The instability makes subsequent practice extremely difficult."
"Third point, even if your realm is stable, you should be cautious when choosing exercises and spiritual techniques. You must first know what attributes of exercises and spiritual techniques are more suitable for you. Don't think that some techniques can increase your spiritual power.
"Quickly, some spiritual arts are very powerful, so if you practice them without being in line with your own reality, the result will be waste in haste, and it is more likely to lead to a regression in your cultivation."
"These three points are taboos in practice, and you must keep them in mind. Practice is important, and you will make one mistake every step of the way, especially when laying the foundation. If you make a mistake, you will not make progress in the future, and you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Xu You listened attentively, feeling shocked.
These three points Lei Fang said are not very profound. Even Xu You, a newbie who has just started to practice, understands them. But understanding is one thing, and whether or not you can do it is another matter.
Fortunately, in the past two months of practice, I have not been eager for quick success, but paid attention to laying a solid foundation. I waited until the state was stable for a long time before practicing the Yuqing Kung Fu, and I did not greedy for too much basic spiritual skills...
Thinking of this, Xu You broke out in cold sweat, secretly congratulating himself for being cautious.
He looked at the expressions of the disciples around him and found that although most of them were listening, their eyes were disapproving. They must have heard this kind of talk too much and didn't think it was important.
Lei Fang also noticed it, but didn't say much. He was only responsible for imparting guidance and fulfilling his responsibilities. There was no need to ask these uncles to practice well.
