"Zhao Kui, your talent is very good, and you're also very patient. I'm very confident in this, and as a teacher, I'm sure that your future is very vast. This is something that I, as your teacher, am most willing to see. Come, let's start to learn the method to absorb the world's spirit energy and follow me."

As Zhao Kui closed his eyes and listened to Teacher Zhao's instructions, he started to breathe in rhythmically. First, he felt the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, then his internal energy suddenly changed, as if there was a suction force pulling the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, drilling into his pores. Every pore of Zhao Kui's body felt extremely comfortable.

"Phew." Zhao Kui let out a breath, stood up, and cupped his fist towards Teacher Zhao, "Thank you for your guidance and appreciation. I will definitely practice diligently and will definitely not disappoint Teacher Zhao!" Teacher Zhao nodded his head in satisfaction as he laughed happily.

"Zhao Kui, being able to absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth is only an initial stage. Once you have cultivated to a certain stage, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth will automatically move closer to you. It will cultivate even faster. Remember, there is no limit to martial arts!" Zhao Kui shuddered in his heart and replied with a serious expression, "Yes, this disciple will remember it!"

Alright, you should practice on your own. If you have time, go to the Compendium Pavilion and read more books to learn more about martial arts. If you have any questions or problems, come find me. Finishing his words, Teacher Zhao stood up and prepared to leave.

"Teacher, please wait. I still have some questions to ask you." Zhao Kui hurriedly called out to him when he saw that he was about to walk over.

"Oh? "What's the problem?"

"I want to ask you some questions about the pills."

"Heh, boy, you're really quick. You're already worried about the pellets." He is the most skilled in pill refining in our Falling Cloud Sect and has led a few disciples to take charge of the pill refining in our sect. Although he is the lowest ranked elder amongst all the elders, he is the highest ranked elder in our Falling Cloud Sect and his status is only above Lord Sect Master, which shows just how important the pill is.

Looking at Zhao Kui's interested gaze, Teacher Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, "I don't know about pill refining, but taking pills can provide you with a lot of energy, increasing your internal energy to improve your physique, at the same time, there are pills that can enhance your absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy, and there are also many types of pills. When the time comes, you can go and ask Elder Wang. "But you must not delay the journey of martial arts!" After he finished speaking, he went to instruct the other disciples.

After Teacher Zhao left, Zhao Kui once again sat down in meditation and began to practice. After learning how to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Zhao Kui started to practice the < Classics of Tendon Changing Technique > and the < Marrow Washing Scripture > again, feeling that his martial arts growth this time around was much faster than before. The difference was too great, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth nourished his meridians, internal organs, and bones, transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into internal energy, causing the internal energy to grow several times faster than when he was unconsciously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As he continued to practice the 'Art of Breeding a Dragon and Elephant', the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth began to seep into his muscles, causing his muscles and cells to grow stronger and his strength to increase accordingly.

Sensing the benefits of absorbing spiritual energy, Zhao Kui was overjoyed. The gains were too great. According to this cultivation speed, reaching the fifth stage of the Houtian realm was just around the corner. When he recalled how miraculous the pill that Teacher Zhao mentioned was, Zhao Kui's heart burned with anticipation. He wished that he could go and ask Elder Wang about it right now.

Before he could even feel anything, a day had already passed. At night, he lay on his bed and reviewed his practice during the day, slowly summarizing his experiences. Zhao Kui felt that the day had passed by very quickly, the difference between having someone to guide and self-train him was really huge.

"Boss, you're too amazing. In just a few moments, you've learned how to sense the spiritual energy in the world, but we've already trained for an entire day and still haven't felt anything. Guide us, it's not convenient to ask you during training together in the day, now tell us about it." Just as Zhao Kui was deep in thought, Hu Xing suddenly spoke up.

The three of them had compared their ages to each other since they had arrived at the inn. They were all more than fifteen years old, not too far apart, with Zhao Kui being the leader, Hu Xing being the second oldest, and Zhang Zhi being the youngest, because Zhang Zhi was half a month younger than Hu Xing, so Zhang Zhi being born half a month later would make him the second oldest. If he had been born earlier, he would have looked less like Zhao Kui and Hu Xing, claiming that he wanted to be the eldest, and that he would only accept the title after being beaten up by Zhao Kui and Hu Xing.

"That's right, that's right. I still can't make heads or tails of it. Quickly, tell me about it!" Zhang Zhi was a little more straightforward as he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just fused myself into this world. I kept my mind empty and relied on all the cells in my body to feel this world. Then, I unknowingly felt it."

"Damn, is it that simple?" Are you sure you aren't hiding anything? " The two of them had a look of distrust as they spoke in unison.

"Brothers, ancestor, ah, just like that. I can trick no one, but I can trick you guys. If I want to trick you guys, then I'll be struck by lightning. That should be fine right?" Zhao Kui helplessly smiled bitterly.

"Alright, we trust you." After speaking, the two of them sat down to cultivate, leaving Zhao Kui to the side. Zhao Kui hurriedly scolded these two brats.

After a while, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but yell, "Boss, you're lying! Why can't I feel it?"

"Ol 'Six, don't embarrass yourself. Do you think you're like Boss and are a monster? Cultivate well, you can't keep a low heart, and you even disturb others. You're really unkind!" Zhang Zhi scratched his head and gave a simple and honest "hehe" smile. He then shut his mouth and resumed cultivating.

Seeing the two of them being so serious, Zhao Kui laid down to sleep. One day of training was very tiring, and there was still a lot of training to be done tomorrow. The most important thing was to rest and recuperate; otherwise, it would be counterproductive.

After falling asleep for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a shout: "Haha, I felt it!" It was Hu Xing's voice, he could feel the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

"Second brother, what are you screaming for? I'm doing really well here, sorry to bother you! " Zhang Zhi said in dissatisfaction, "That's right, it's a great sin to disturb someone's sweet dreams!" Zhao Kui interjected, "Go on, go to sleep. What business do you have?" The two of them began to crowd around Zhao Kui at the same time. Zhao Kui had no choice but to lie back down and try to get some more sleep.

After an unknown period of time, Zhang Zhi also let out a ghastly howl. Zhao Kui and Hu Xing were awakened and cursed, "Old boy, you're not a good person either. Didn't you wake us up?"

"Aiya, I was too excited and I lost control of myself. I'm sorry, but don't call me 'old and young' anymore. It's so unpleasant."

"Alright, alright. Ah, it seems like Teacher Zhao will be knocking on the door soon. Let's not sleep anymore. Get up!"

"Ah?" I haven't slept yet! "

"What are you sleeping for? Who told you to be so slow in sensing?" Hu Xing rolled his eyes and said.

"Hehehe." Didn't I feel it? "

Sure enough, not long after, Teacher Zhao came knocking on the door. Seeing that the three of them had woken up, he was very satisfied. He swung his whip around and went to another dormitory. A new day was about to begin.
