Chapter 6 - Learning the Art of Yi Yuan

　　Ziyang real person returned to the residence, looked at Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yuan two people, laughed: "The two of you are lucky, the garden master has promised, two days later you can participate in the selection thing with the other ten people, by then we will know that you were accepted by that garden." 　　Lin Yunfeng opened his mouth and asked, "Real person, may I ask, in the midst of this Yi Garden, what are some of the stunts ah, can you tell us about them, or let us increase our insights ah?" 　　Ziyang Zhenren looked at Lin Yunfeng's eyes and understood what he was thinking, but he didn't reveal it, he just smiled slightly and said, "In our Yi Garden, the 'Twelve Techniques of Yi Tian' is the most powerful, this is the technique that every disciple must cultivate. As for the achievement, it depends on the talent and effort of each. The four courtyards of the Yi Garden are the Qian Kun Yin Yang Courtyard, of which the Qian Courtyard is the most powerful with the 'Dragon Cutting Sword Technique', which shakes the entire cultivation world and is one of the most domineering stunts of the Yi Garden. The Kun Courtyard was the only women's cultivation courtyard in the Yi Garden, and it was famous for the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens' sword skill that shook the whole world. The Yin Courtyard is famous for its 'Demon Slaying and Demon Destroying Sword', which is famous all over the world. As for my Yang Courtyard, it is known for its 'Flaming Big Dipper Sword Technique'. When the time comes, you can choose, but not everyone will be able to do as they wish, but there's really not much difference, no matter which one you learn, as long as you work hard, you can all reach the same realm." 　　Lin Yunfeng sniffed and spat out his tongue in surprise, "I can't imagine that this Yi Garden has so many stunts, it's really great. I've come to specifically learn that Yin Courtyard's 'Demon Slaying and Demon Destroying Sword', let's leave the rest for them to learn. Lu Yun, what do you want to learn, tell me?" 　　Lu Yun smiled bashfully and said, "I'll do everything according to my destiny and learn whatever I want, that's not important to me. As for the result, we'll know the day after tomorrow, won't we?" 　　Zi Yang Zhen Zhen looked at Lu Yun with a hint of praise in his eyes. Lu Yun's desireless heart was exactly what was most important in cultivation. The Yi Garden was focused on cultivating the heart, and was very concerned about the cultivation of the disciples' hearts, while Lu Yun's performance was exactly nuclear in line with the Yi Garden's key tenets of cultivating the heart, and so was deeply liked by Realist Ziyang. 　　Ziyang said with a smile, "Lu Yun, since Lin Yunfeng is going to the Yin courtyard to learn the 'Demon Slaying and Demon Destroying Sword', why don't you come to my Yang courtyard and learn the 'Flaming Big Dipper Sword Technique', as long as you work hard, with your talent, you can definitely become the most outstanding disciple in the Yi Garden in the future! As long as you work hard, with your talent, you will definitely become one of the most outstanding people in the Yi Garden in the future. What do you think? Think about it, don't be too busy to answer. I won't say anything more, I've sent people to prepare a place for you to stay, you guys go down and rest first." After saying that, he got up and left with the two of them. 　　Two days passed quickly, in the past two days, a deep friendship had developed between Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yun, and the two of them were very close. Lu Yun loved Lin Yunfeng's quirkiness and felt extremely affectionate towards his mischievous eccentricity. For two days, the two of them had a good tour of the Yi Garden and familiarized themselves with the place. At this time, the two already had a general understanding of the Yi Garden, knowing that in the Yi Garden, there were a total of more than 1,300 trainees, but in fact, there were only about 200 real cultivation disciples, and the rest were all ordinary disciples. 　　Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and early in the morning, Ziyang real person sent someone to bring the two of them to the Yi Tian Pavilion. At this time, the garden master Xuan Yu real person, as well as the head of the four houses have been sitting inside, the room stood ten teenage girls, among them, there are two girls, all sixteen or seventeen years old beautiful girl, youthful, very attractive attention. The remaining eight men, also all sixteen or seventeen to about twenty years old. The arrival of the two immediately drew the attention of the beat everyone, and all eyes were on the two. Lu Yun slightly lowered his head, doing his best to hide his aura and breath. 　　The gazes of the five experts of the Yi Garden stopped on Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yun, and in the end, apart from Realist Xuan Yu, the gazes of the other four were focused on Lin Yunfeng. While Realist Xuan Yu was carefully sizing up Lu Yun, he had a strange feeling in his heart for Lu Yun. In his senses, Lu Yun shouldn't be an ordinary regular person, but after carefully examining him, he couldn't feel that on Lu Yun, there was any aura of cultivation, it was really strange. Frowning slightly, Realist Xuan Yu slowly averted his gaze and looked at Lin Yunfeng. 　　Lu Yun sent a sigh of relief in his heart, it was so mysterious just now. He had clearly sensed that Realist Xuan Yu was detecting his own aura, he was really afraid that he would be seen by this cultivation world's most famous cultivation expert, but fortunately, he had finally passed the test. Slightly raising his head, Lu Yun carefully surveyed these people. He understood that these teenagers could be his fellow disciples in the future, so he began to memorize the facial features of these people so that he could identify them in the future. 　　After looking carefully for a while, Lu Yun realized that all the young men and women here were already people with a certain foundation, each with a different level of cultivation, and all of them were not ordinary people. It looked like this Yi Yuan was recruiting disciples, but it also had to choose people. Without a certain foundation of people, completely from scratch, that is also need to spend a lot of time, for the Yi Garden in the cultivation world's reputation, also has a great impact. Perhaps every cultivation sect is like this, in addition to those adopted from childhood under the door, a small began to lay the foundation, the rest of the disciples under the door, all have to have a certain foundation before recruiting, I am afraid that they are one of the exceptions. 　　At this time Xuan Yu real person opened his mouth: ''Well, since the people have all arrived, then everyone will start. In order to solicit opinions from both sides, so this time is still the same as in the past, each person uses a paper, and writes the courtyard school that they want to study, they can write two, but not more than two, and finally, the four courtyards will recruit their favorite disciples according to the situation. Begin!" After saying that, he looked at the twelve chosen disciples with a hint of a puzzled look in his eyes. 　　Lu Yun held his pen, mentally thinking about which courtyard he would enter to study. The best here was actually the Qian Courtyard, which he understood, but he had also heard over the past two days that the Qian Courtyard had produced a once-in-a-century wunderkind, Li Hongfei, and he didn't want to go and steal the limelight with him. So after thinking about himself for a while, he wrote down the words Yang Yuan on the paper. While Lin Yunfeng beside him wrote Yin courtyard, because that was his dream. 　　After all of them had written, they each put their own name on it, and then handed it over to a stone case in the middle of the hall, waiting for the four heads of the branch academies present to check it. Looking at everyone, Realist Xuan Yu said, ''Let's begin now, you will all look at their results together and start choosing. You guys are already familiar with this matter beyond measure, so I won't say anything more." After saying that, he looked at those outstanding disciples under his door, a hint of expectation in his eyes. 　　Together, the four courtyard masters approached the stone case and slowly separated the twelve selected disciples' wishes so that they could recruit the disciples they wanted. Soon it was divided, of these twelve people, four of them wanted to enter the Qian courtyard, four of the Kun courtyard, seven of the Yin courtyard, and seven of the Yang courtyard. Of course some of these people had written two other courtyards, that's why there were so many people, quite a few of them were duplicates. 　　And of all the selected disciples, apart from Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng who had written only one, the remaining ten, each had written two aliens, so at this point those people were faced with a choice, and the initiative was in the hands of the four courtyard masters. With a smile on his face, Ziyang Zhenren pulled Lu Yun to his side and said to him with a smile, "Very good, work hard in the future, there will definitely be a day when you excel. I'm still waiting for you to strive for glory for our Yang Courtyard, or to wash away the bad reputation of our Yang Courtyard not having any outstanding disciples for many years. Your heavenly beauty is excellent, you are a good candidate for cultivation, and even though you are not initiated yet for now, I believe that you will definitely be able to fight for the glory of our Yang Academy in the future." 　　Lu Yun smiled faintly, "Thank you for your concern, Master, Lu Yun will definitely work hard to strive for glory for the Yang Academy." Zi Yang Zhen Zhen patted his shoulder and turned to walk away. 　　Over here, Realist Xuan Yin had a hefty smile on his face as he pulled Lin Yunfeng to look at him carefully. Lin Yunfeng was made uncomfortable by his look and had a bad feeling in his heart. That old ghost was a good friend of mine back in the day, I was quite close to him, and this time, since you chose to come to my disciple to learn the Dao, then for the sake of a deceased person, I will take good care of you. Hehehe, work hard, better not let me down, otherwise, hehehe, you'll know later." The Xuan Yin realist had an impish smile on his face, looking at Lin Yun Feng his heart jumped, in his heart he cursed the old ghost for being abominable, in the future it looked like he would have to be careful. 　　After a while of deliberation, of the twelve disciples, the two beautiful young girls were admitted to the Kun courtyard by Master Jing Yue of the Kun courtyard, while of the remaining eight male disciples, one of the disciples with the deepest cultivation was admitted to the Qian courtyard, and of the remaining seven, three were admitted to the Yin courtyard and four to the Yang courtyard. This time, this ten-year recruitment of disciples was finally all recruited. The four places in the Qian courtyard had been filled, while the six people in the Kun courtyard, the twelve people in the Yin courtyard, and the twelve people in the Yang courtyard had all been recruited. The next time there was to be another recruitment, it would have to wait until two years later to begin. 　　Xuan Yu Zhenren looked at the crowd and opened his mouth, ''This time is considered to be this session, the last time to recruit disciples, you twelve people can enter my Yi Yuan to cultivate, it is also considered to be their respective destiny, I hope that you will cherish it, don't miss the good opportunity. In the future time, you need to use the incomparable firm will, serious cultivation, in order to break through themselves, into the magical realm of cultivation, for the world, for the Yi Garden to do their part. To be a warrior in the world, to get rid of demons and protect the way of the world, to cut down the demons for the people of the world, and to keep the people safe. Work hard, you are all the future talents of our Yi Garden, work hard for your ideals." After saying that, he passed a wink to the four courtyard masters, signaling that they could leave. 　　Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng walked out of the Yi Tian Pavilion together, Lin Yunfeng said, "Lu Yun, work hard, in the future, we'll travel the world together, kill demons and catch ghosts, and be fastidious in the Divine Realm. I'll come over to see you when I have time, let's work hard together. As long as you work hard, there's hope, I'm still thinking that in two years, I'll be able to go to the Six Courts Martial Arts Conference, how awesome it will be then! Hey, I'll make it, you should strive for it too, I hope we can go together, to that conference. Take care, I'll be waiting for you." After saying that, he looked at him and turned around to slowly walk away. 　　Lu Yun said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you. I will attend the Six Courts Martial Arts Conference two years from now, for sure! Work hard, my partner." After saying that, he looked at Ziyang Zhenran beside him, revealing a slight hint of determination. 　　Ziyang Zhenren's eyes revealed a look of praise and laughed, "Good, there's ambition. Go, let's go back to the Yang courtyard, today I will pass on to you, our Yi Garden's cultivation techniques, in the future, I hope that you will put in more effort, I believe that soon you will have the hope of catching up with those senior brothers from before." After saying that, he went off at the head, Lu Yun followed closely behind him and together they disappeared around the corner. 　　Returning to the Yang Courtyard, Zi Yang Zhen Zhen looked at the five newly accepted disciples today, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, this was the hope for the future. Zi Yang Zhen Zhen said, ''In the Yi Garden, as you may know, of the four major other courtyards, the first in rank is the Qian Courtyard, the Kun Courtyard is second, and our Yang Courtyard is the same as the Yin Courtyard. Why is it like this? What is the main reason that it would be like this? In fact, to put it bluntly, will be like this is because, Qiankun two courtyard every session of the disciples, there are outstanding talent, every time are far ahead, will wind up occupying all, for easy garden in the realm of cultivation has achieved supreme honor. 　　On the other hand, our Yin-Yang Second Academy has never produced any outstanding talents in the past hundred years, which is why we are firmly pressed behind by the Qian-Kun Second Academy, unable to compare with them. If we talk about the cultivation method, everyone is actually the same, they all cultivate this sect's 'Twelve Secrets of Yi Tian', with this as the root, and in other aspects, although the sword techniques are different, as long as they work hard, and cultivate them to a certain degree, the power is all similar. So everyone, as long as they work hard, as long as they put their heart into it, there is hope to catch up with their two houses. I hope that everyone will work hard and strive to surpass them and win glory for our Yang Courtyard. In order to give you all a little more time to cultivate, I intend to start passing on your introductory mantra today, so you can start cultivating right away and strive for early success." 　　Then, Zi Yang Zhen Zhen personally passed on the introductory mantra to the five people, and when it was finished, all five people memorized it. Zi Yang Zhen Zhen spoke, "The cultivation techniques of this sect are top-ranking in the entire cultivation world, and are one of the most magical and incomparable types of superior techniques in the world, so you must cultivate them with all your heart. After you have cultivated all of these twelve techniques to their great completion, you will have the opportunity to ascend to immortality and live forever with heaven and earth. As for the 'Twelve Secrets of Yi Tian' of this sect, it is actually two techniques combined into one. This technique is divided into the 'Six Methods of Easy Heaven' and the 'Six Techniques of Moving Heaven', collectively known as the Twelve Techniques. The six methods are mainly to enhance one's own cultivation and lay the foundation for practicing the 'Six Techniques for Moving Heaven'. Therefore, these six methods are very important, your current introductory technique is the first method of the six methods, so you have to practice seriously, when the six methods are completed, it is equivalent to the 'Twelve Techniques of the Heavenly Transposition' practiced the first six techniques, at that time you are equivalent to the cultivation of the realm of mastery of the object. Now everyone go back and cultivate individually, I will check everyone's cultivation every ten days, I hope you will work hard, go." 　　Lu Yun returned to his room and quietly lay on the bed, thinking about things in his mind. This time when he came here, it actually went very smoothly, it was all a bit out of his expectation, giving him an unreal feeling. For Yi Garden's supreme technique, 'Yi Tian 12 techniques' he also had a thought in his heart that he wanted to know more about it, he wanted to know why, Yi Garden with this set of techniques, can be in the world's cultivation world for a thousand years, I believe that there is a certain reasoning in it. This time to come here, although only two days, but he has already clearly felt the cultivation world, those major factions, between the gateway is extremely heavy, far more intense than he imagined. Even in Yi Garden, between the four sects, it was also full of open and secret rivalry and competition with each other in the relationship. 　　Regarding the introductory techniques that Ziyang Zhenren taught today, he didn't care at all in his heart, as far as he was concerned, he could have completely skipped the first few layers and directly cultivated the higher level techniques behind him. Yet he still decided to cultivate anyway, because he had just arrived and there were some things he needed to do to show others. 　　In the ten days that followed, Lu Yun was still really serious about his cultivation, his progress was rapid, and in ten days' time he had already, long ago, refined the First Technique. On this day, the Ziyang Realist brought the five of them, the newcomers, to a large courtyard, where there were countless people cultivating in their own ways, all under the Yang Courtyard's disciples, many of whom already looked sixty or seventy years old, yet they were still cultivating there with vigor. 　　Lu Yun took a closer look around, ninety-seven people, the number automatically appeared in his mind. For him now, ever since the "Heaven and Earth Without Limit" technique taught by his ancestor was refined to the sixth level of "Infinite Extension", every time he did not need to look at many things, the results would immediately appear in his mind, magical and subtle. That was an ability that his previous five superior techniques did not possess. Cultivating the "Heaven and Earth Without Limits" made Lu Yun so sensitive to many things around him that he could automatically know the results without even thinking about it, and he had a sense of knowing everything in the world. This made him extremely happy in his heart, after all, his ancestor's original technique that he had created after six thousand years was the unparalleled and the best in the world! 　　The Ziyang Realist glanced at the five disciples beside him and laughed lightly, ''All of the people here are disciples of our Yang Sect. Some of them are the new disciples of this term, and most of them are also past initiates, all of them cultivating here by heart. In fact, there are many other outstanding disciples in the Yang Academy who have already cultivated to a certain realm, and each of them has gone out to cultivate in the world, to cut down the evils and remove the demons. The disciples here are only those who do not have enough cultivation, or those who are dedicated to the Dao and hope to ascend. I brought you here today in the hope that in the next three months, after I have taught you all the techniques of the Six Methods of Yi Tian, you will cultivate here, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask them, the senior brothers. If you make rapid progress, you can also learn the later 'Six Techniques of Shifting Heaven' from them. After three months, I will come here to check on your progress, and then according to your different cultivation levels, I will make a corresponding cultivation plan to fit your respective situations and speed up your progress. Three months will pass in the blink of an eye, so I hope you guys work hard. Remember to ask them if you don't understand, perhaps you can learn many unexpected things from them." After saying that, a hint of meaningful meaning appeared in the eyes of the Ziyang Realist. 　　Lu Yun looked at these people and sighed slightly in his heart, which made him realize why many cultivation sects were quite strict in recruiting disciples. It was because this matter of cultivation was easy to enter and hard to leave, it was easy to want to get started, but if you wanted to achieve greatness, it would be incredibly difficult. After all, it is in the fight with the sky, against the sky, not everyone, have the determination and perseverance can be cultivated successfully. If you only need to work hard to be able to cultivate into an immortal, then now the entire cultivation world, I do not know how many immortals, is not it? But the truth is, how many people in the current cultivation world have truly attained immortality? Very few, very few! 　　Time always passes by unknowingly. Without a sound, without a fluctuation, just like that, it passed in the twinkling of an eye. In three months' time, Lu Yun had easily practiced the "Six Methods of Yi Tian" in front of him, and from the mouths of those senior brothers, he had asked for the secret of the seventh of the "Twelve Secrets of Yi Tian", and secretly practiced it. 　　The other four people who came with Lu Yun were also not weak in their cultivation, and they had all practiced to the fourth and fifth techniques, and all of them were considered to have made rapid progress. In the past, the five disciples this time around were already considered very good. 　　During the three months in the Yang Courtyard, Lu Yun had learned quite a few things from those senior brothers. Among them were some past events about the Yi Garden, and the thing that came out of the mouths of the people the most was about the Qiankun Ear Academy. What Lu Yun had gotten from the side was that the most famous place in this Yi Garden was in the Qian Kun Ear Academy. This was because over the years, the Qian Courtyard had produced two of the most outstanding characters, one being Feng Yuan Yang who had already left the school, that was the senior brother who had entered sixty years ago. It was said that he had once stood out from thirty of the most outstanding teenage experts of the six courtyards at the Six Courtyards Martial Arts Conference, and finally won the third place at that time, earning supreme honor for Yi Yuan. 　　And the other is only now Li Hongfei, he is the most outstanding one among all the disciples in this session, and Zhang Ao Xue of the Kun Academy is quite equal to the same name, popular throughout the Yi Garden, is the pride of everyone's heart. It was said that both of them had already practiced Yi Yuan's "Twelve Secrets of Yi Tian" to the ninth secret, which had never been seen before, and had already caught up with Feng Yuanyang of that year. 　　Lu Yun thought in his heart that he must meet these two outstanding characters when he had the chance, to see their elegance. Glancing at the sky, Lu Yun thought of Lin Yunfeng in his heart, I don't know how he learned in these three months, he should have made rapid progress as well. 　　After leaving the Yang Courtyard, Lu Yun walked slowly all the way, looking at those Yi Yuan's scholars in the distance, one by one, they buried their heads in their books and studied very hard, which caused Lu Yun to have a feeling in his heart. In the hearts of these students, perhaps they do not have any other distractions, all they want is to study, so that in the future for the world for the benefit of the people, really simple young scholar ah! For their simplicity, Lu Yun heart has a kind of indescribable sigh, perhaps this is also a kind of obsession, a kind of happiness, is not it? 　　Quietly looking at the white clouds in the sky, Lu Yun slowly lying on the grass outside the garden, a person quietly do not know what to think. Not far away, a silhouette, slowly walked towards him, looking at Lu Yun on the ground, a trace of divine light appeared in that person's eyes. 　　Lu Yun's mind moved, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure and quietly looked at the flowing clouds in the sky. Realizer Xuan Yu looked at Lu Yun and appeared beside him without a sound, saying softly, "A person is watching here, can you see something?" 　　Lu Yun's face was startled, he busily got up and said, "So it's Master Master Master, I didn't know that Master Master Master would come, I hope that Master Master Master will forgive me for my rudeness." 　　Xuan Yu looked at him and smiled, "No need to be polite, better sit down and talk. In fact, I am also often alone, lying here looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, quietly thinking about things. You just watched for so long, do you have any feelings, tell me." After saying that, he also sat down on the grass and laid down slightly flat. 　　Seeing him lying down, Lu Yun also followed suit and quietly looked at the flowing clouds and said, "Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, my heart is very calm and I remembered a lot of things from the past. The path of cultivation is full of wonders, and it has also made me feel many hardships. Looking at the heavens and earth, over the past thousands of years, how many people have truly been able to cultivate into immortality and achieve ascension? So many people in heaven and earth go to cultivate the truth, what exactly is their purpose? To strengthen the body, to make a profit, to be chivalrous, to pursue immortality? Perhaps there are many people that are actually blind in their hearts, they just see everyone else going to cultivate the truth and practice the Way, and they follow suit, but in the end is that what they want, perhaps not?" 　　Realist Xuan Yu looked at the sky and smiled faintly, "Everyone has different dreams and different volunteers. The path of cultivation is difficult, but it can bring some good intentions to those who cultivate. Some people aspire to be chivalrous and to benefit the people, so he cultivates to enhance his skills and to serve the country and the people. There are those who want to pursue immortality, and cultivation is the only path for him, so he chooses to cultivate. There are also some people who do it to fulfill their selfish desires, using the method of cultivation, he can get the power he wants and thus do what he wants to do. There are others who do it for curiosity's sake, so they also choose this path. Have you ever thought about what you yourself are doing it for?" 　　Lu Yun looked slightly into the distance and said softly, "I came, perhaps for a wish." A short sentence, nothing more. 　　Realist Xuan Yu laughed, "Are you very somewhat special. Seeing you today, I realized that you are already very different from more than three months ago. At this moment, your cultivation is already not weak, and you have actually practiced the first six techniques of the 'Twelve Techniques of Yi Tian'. One hundred days, it really has set another new record for Yi Garden. If Zi Yang found out, he would definitely be overjoyed for his choice in the first place. Keep up the good work, I hope that your figure will appear at the Six Courts Meeting Martial Assembly in the near future." After saying that, Realizer Xuan Yu got up and left. 　　Lu Yun watched him leave, a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes, there seemed to be some hidden meaning in his words, but unfortunately, Lu Yun couldn't guess it for a moment. Gently closing his eyes, everything is as it should be, why should he care too much? Cultivation people are most concerned about the fate of everything, isn't it? Being too obsessive won't get you anywhere.
