Chapter 563: Chapter 562 ‘Five Elements Qi Cultivation

“‘Five Elements Qi Cultivation Technique (Part One)?'” Wen Qing’er softly spoken the name of the cultivation technique, immersing herself into it.

“How is it?”

“I understood half of it. It’s probably about using the characteristics of the Five Elements Spiritual Root in combination with negative emotions to break through the bottleneck and reach the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage?”

“That’s it, you should try to break the bottleneck and reach the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage according to the book.”

Wen Qing’er was stunned. Normally, when senior Jiang guided her in practicing the “Spiritual Energy Map”, he would explain why to do something this way and why not the other. Why did he not say anything today?

But Wen Qing didn’t ask and tried to break through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage based on her understanding of the new cultivation technique.

Once, twice, three times.

After three times, Wen Qing’er was exhausted and had no strength to break through anymore.

“I failed.” Wen Qing’er lowered her head, feeling guilty for not meeting Jiang Li’s expectations. She was under the impression that if Senior Jiang allowed her to proceed this way, he must have sensed her potential to succeed.

“You didn’t fully understand the cultivation technique when you tried breaking through just now. Can you tell me which parts you don’t understand?”

“I might not understand many minor details.” Wen Qing’er said cautiously, afraid that Jiang Li might get angered.

“It’s okay to say them out.”

Jiang Li anticipated Wen Qing’er’s failure. Huiming, with his keen perspective, naturally found the process rather straightforward. After all, he had already reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

But it’s different for Wen Qing’er. Her level was that of an ordinary mortal, being the most common among the mortals in the Nine Continents.

Wen Qing’er recounted her failure experience in detail, and Jiang Li noted them down one by one.

“Rest for today. I’ll think about how to answer these questions, and we’ll continue training tomorrow.”

“Don’t take this failure to heart. As long as I’m here, what’s there to fear about not reaching the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage?”

Only then did Wen Qing’er feel assured.

The next day, Jiang Li did not directly answer her questions, instead, he handed Wen Qing’er a few pages of paper, with answers written on them.

“The answers to your questions are written on these pages.”

Wen Qing’er read earnestly all morning, pondering as she read.

“So that’s it. I misunderstood the part about negative emotions.”

In the afternoon, Wen Qing’er tried to break through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage with great confidence, but failed again. However, this time she encountered new problems.

“Tell me about your problems.”

Wen Qing’er narrated them in detail.

After listening, Jiang Li handed Wen Qing’er a few more sheets of paper, asking her to understand them on her own.

The university where Wen Quan studied was nearby, and he chose to live at home even when the university term started. He was perplexed as he saw the same scene when he returned home for the past two days. He wanted to ask Jiang Li about it, but was stopped by Huiming.

Huiming looked solemn, a look he had never shown before, and underneath that solemnity, was deep admiration from his heart.

He probably understood the significance of Jiang Li’s actions.

Huiming was deeply ashamed, not just because of his cultivation level, but also because the way Jiang Li viewed problems far surpassed his own.

“Do I even qualify to call him comrade-in-arms?”

Half a month later, this half month, Jiang Li and Wen Qing’er had been repeatedly going through the process of Wen Qing’er asking questions, Jiang Li answering on paper, Wen Qing’er having a sudden realization, and then encountering new problems.

“Is the cultivation technique written by senior Jiang really that difficult?” Wen Quan asked in his heart.

“It’s not difficult. If you were to study this, you would be able to grasp it quickly. Your sister’s comprehension level is not poor, but extremely ordinary.”

Half a month later, Wen Qing’er finally understood the “Five Elements Qi Cultivation Secret (Part One)” thoroughly. She utilized her Five Elements Spiritual Root, gathered her negative emotions and broke through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage in one go.

“Did I succeed?” Wen Qing’er could hardly believe her eyes. Overcome with joy, she cried and happily hugged her good little brother who had been quietly supporting her.

Huiming had never imagined that for ordinary people, breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage was such a joyous occasion.

“Congratulations, Senior Jiang Li. It’s only now that I understand your intention. With this cultivation technique, the people of the Nine Continents can collectively break through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage.”

Jiang Li also took a deep breath, as he had expended a lot of energy in these past few days.

“If it was only for Wen Qing’er to cultivate, I could write a book that suits her physique. It’s just that I was pursuing a greater challenge, one that allows all mortals to cultivate.”

“The difficulty of mortal’s cultivation lies in its universality. I have been pondering for a long time on what is most suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, and finally found an answer.”

“The answer lies in the Five Elements Spiritual Root and negative emotions.”

“I once traveled in a world using abilities for a while, and I found that their abilities originate from the Five Elements Spiritual Root. These roots can be used to correspond with the Creation Theory of Five Elements, creating various awe-inspiring abilities.”

“I also got the ‘Gloomy Heaven Skill’ from you all, knowing that negative emotions can also help in cultivation.”

“I combined these two elements into a cultivation technique, and interpreted it in the easiest and simplest way for ordinary people.”

“I probably placed myself on such a high pedestal that I overlooked the thinking process of mortals, and that’s why Wen Qing’er couldn’t comprehend the new cultivation technique at first sight.”

“I realized that even if I brought this new cultivation technique back to Nine Continents, it’d still be hard to promote.”

“Hence, I asked Wen Qing’er to point out the parts she couldn’t understand, and I tried to think from an ordinary person’s perspective, to write the answer.”

“As it turns out, I was somewhat successful, as Wen Qing’er was able to understand what I wrote.”

Jiang Li shuffled through a stack of paper: “These papers can be regarded as commentaries for the new cultivation technique.”

“Senior Jiang Li, why didn’t you go to Nine Continents and explain it to everyone in person, so as to avoid the hassle of writing down various questions and answers?”

“Oral transmission of information is prone to getting distorted. It’s only by putting it in writing, establishing a standard answer, that we can ensure widespread dissemination and allow all beings to correctly understand this cultivation technique.”

“This cultivation technique will allow ordinary people and those at the Qi Cultivation Stage in Nine Continents to advance by one level. Ordinary people can enter the middle Qi Cultivation Stage, while cultivators in the middle Qi Cultivation stage can advance to the late Qi Cultivation Stage. Those in the late Qi Cultivation Stage can reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“However, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage can no longer advance, as this cultivation technique is only suitable for those at the Qi Cultivation Stage.”

“Why do you refer to the cultivation technique as ‘Part One’?”

Jiang Li smiled: “Because I am quite ambitious. I intend for ordinary people to reach the middle Qi Cultivation Stage through Part One, the late Qi Cultivation Stage through Part Two, and the Foundation Establishment Stage through Part Three.”

As long as one can cultivate up to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation Stage, reaching the fifth and sixth levels would only be a matter of time. The real bottleneck for ordinary people occurs at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation Stage.

“According to my estimation, Part Two would require a method to ‘slash the good corpse’ in the Three Corpses Severance ritual, and Part Three would require a method to ‘slash the self corpse’.”

Master Huiming remained silent. The method of Severing the Three Corpses was used by beings above Golden Immortal to break through, but in Jiang Li’s hands, this had become a method for the common people to break through. The contrast was so stark that he found it hard to believe.

Knock, Knock, Knock——

A polite knock on the door was heard. Wen Qing opened the door and nearly fainted. She actually saw the person who appears most frequently on the TV, the supreme leader of this country.

“Hello, is this Comrade Wen Quan and Comrade Wen Qing’er’s residence?” Just like on TV, the supreme leader was always kind and considerate, a true leader who had the citizens’ best interest at heart.

Jiang Li glanced and recognized the people. They were the supreme leader, the president of the mutual aid society, and the elder in traditional Tang suit he had met in the park.

This was indeed top-notch.

Neither Jiang Li nor Huiming were surprised at their arrival. Half a month ago, there was already the national security agency of this country arranging secret watchmen, clearing unrelated personnel, and controlling the movement of people.

Although their movements were very stealthy, they couldn’t possibly escape the eyes of Jiang Li and Huiming.
