Chapter 214 The Most Powerful Left Path

Half a month passed in a flash, and after half a month, Tian Lin had already adapted to the life in Wendao Sect.

In the past half month, apart from attending classes at the academy every day, he also took the [Tian Yi Sheng Shui Pill] and practiced the Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue.

Now that he has no shortage of true energy, he cannot use the Five Elements Spirit Liquid distributed by the Taoist Sect himself, so he stores most of it and leaves a small part for Yu'er and her sister.

As an outer disciple of Class D, Tian Lin, in addition to paying tuition for attending classes every month, can also get ten medium-grade spirit stones and ten bottles of five-element spirit liquid.

The sect allowed him to practice the five highest-grade magical powers to build the Five Elements Dharmakaya, but because Class Ding's outer disciples did not have a high status, he would not be given auxiliary elixirs for the magical powers.

When he met Ju Yunhai for the first time, Ju Yunhai told Tian Lin that among all the unorthodox methods, alchemy is the most important thing to learn.

Because even for the sect's inner disciples, the sect cannot supply unlimited amounts of auxiliary elixirs for magical powers, let alone the outer disciples?

Therefore, if you want to cultivate the Five Elements Dharma Body as quickly as possible, you must learn to refine auxiliary pills by yourself.

For this reason, among the five elective courses that Tian Lin chose to take, alchemy was the first compulsory course.

In addition to alchemy, he took four other courses.

The first is the study of formations. When one reaches the highest level, one can use the shapes of mountains and rivers to set up formations.

The second is swordsmanship, when it is practiced to the extreme, it can break the situation with force.

The third is the art of talisman making, which uses animal skin as paper, cinnabar and demon blood as ink, and all kinds of magic can be expressed on paper.

The fourth is funeral studies, which is all-encompassing and the most mysterious. Tian Lin studied this because it is easier to pass the exams for this subject.

There are five subjects, and each subject takes one hour to study every day, which will take up five hours in total.

After Tian Lin reported the five courses to Elder Xue, Elder Xue recommended him to the Dinggui class.

The school where the Dinggui class is located teaches these five subjects.

The next morning, Tian Lin’s first class was funeral studies.

In the huge back mountain, there was a sound of crying in the school.

Tian Lin followed the group of people and lay on the seat, howling, but his spiritual consciousness had already passed through the table and swept towards the "A Preliminary Study on Spiritual Herbs" in the cloth bag.

There are many people like him who are perfunctory. After all, most people study funeral studies because it is extremely easy to pass the entrance examination for this subject.

You can fully utilize the time of this class to study other subjects with heavy workload.

Tian Lin was howling in his mouth, but he was reciting "Initial Exploration of Spiritual Herbs". Since he wanted to learn alchemy, he had to start by identifying medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs.

But he never had the basics, unlike other people who had family background in learning. Only Tian Lin could recite the "elementary education" of Lingcao Chutan.

"Cry, even at a funeral, you have to cry with passion and emotion. As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning. If you don't cry with all your heart in the morning, what's the point of learning funeral rites?"

On the podium, Chang Xue held a ruler in his hand and said angrily: "Don't think that studying funerals is useless. I tell you, funeral science is very useful.

I can earn money from this when I'm out there, and even if my parents die at home, I don't have to ask anyone for help, I can handle things on my own."

No matter what he said, the people below just howled and couldn't shed a single tear.

Some people even laughed out loud because they thought of something wonderful.

Fortunately, Changxue was not a teaching elder and was not strict with others, so he just glared at the man and did not use the ruler in his hand.

He taught earnestly, "You think that funeral studies are useless, but you don't know that the Xiangxi Sect, which is as famous as other immortal sects, is the corpse-driving sect under the funeral studies.

This knowledge is one of the oldest. Senior brother, I dare say that this knowledge is the most powerful side path of the Taoist sect."

An hour passed in the midst of a group of people crying. The senior student assigned everyone an assignment, which would be tested during the monthly examination.

The reason why everyone thinks funeral studies is easy to learn is because it only requires reciting eulogies and the like.

Relying on their cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm, not only are their spiritual awareness powerful, their memory is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary people.

A few eulogies are of course not a problem.

"Okay, for the second class of alchemy, I will still take over the teaching elder's teaching position."

After a quarter of an hour of break, when all the students in the school had arrived, Changxue went up to the podium again.

He looked at the people under the podium and said seriously:
"Alchemy is one of the oldest disciplines. I dare say that this discipline is the most powerful side-door discipline of my Taoist sect. You must remember to study it carefully."

After these words were spoken, Tian Lin, who was sitting in the academy, was stunned.

But he found that the other twenty outer disciples of the academy had obviously become accustomed to the exaggerations of their senior brother.

"You are the outer disciples of Class D, and you have the worst foundation among the outer disciples. In addition to memorizing the spiritual herbs, the first thing you need to do is to identify the spiritual herbs.

How to identify spiritual herbs? First, look at its shape and color, second, taste its flavor, and third, touch its skin. After saying this, Senior Brother Changxue said:
"Take out the herbs on the table. There are 500 basic herbs on the table. What I want you to do is, after a month, use your tongue alone to identify what kind of herbs they are, what their medicinal properties are, where they are suitable to grow, and how old they are, without using your spiritual sense or eyes."

After saying this, Changxue pointed at Tian Lin and said, "Newcomer, let me see how your foundation is."

Tian Lin calmly stood up and took out a leaf from the package on the table.

He stuffed the leaves into his mouth, and the sweet juice instantly filled his mouth and tongue as he chewed them.

The senior student asked Tian Lin, "What kind of grass is this? What does it taste like? What disease can it cure? What kind of elixir can it be made into?"

Tian Lin answered confidently: "This is dragon liver grass, which tastes spicy and bitter, is cold in nature, and acts on the liver and kidney essence. It has the effect of detoxification, and can be combined with Baidu Dan and Jieqi San..."

Tian Lin talked for half a minute, and Chang Xue nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you can be admitted to Class C in the monthly exam."

Tian Lin took a seat at Changxue's suggestion, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The dragon liver grass in his mouth tasted sweet and not spicy, and had aphrodisiac effects. How could it be a detoxification?

The reason why he was able to give the answer successfully just now was only because he had memorized the medicinal properties of dragon liver grass during the half month of listening.

The dragon liver grass in the package on the table did not change its shape to disguise itself, so he could recognize its appearance.

But during the monthly exams, dragon liver grass and hundreds of other herbs would be crushed into powder, making it impossible to identify their original appearance from their color, shape, or touch.

If Tian Lin wanted to identify medicinal herbs by taste, it was not impossible, but it was much more difficult than for ordinary people.

"Actually, as long as the prompt says 'Changle Grass', I can just call it 'Dragon Liver Grass'. Anyway, it's just to fool the teaching elders. As long as I can pass the monthly exam, it's no big deal."

Soon, the class was over. After everyone had rested for a quarter of an hour, Changxue stood on the podium again.

"As everyone knows, the sword path is one of the three thousand great ways. It can be said that the sword path is the strongest side path of my Taoist sect."

After finishing his opening remarks, Chang Xuexian drew out the iron sword on his back and stuck it on the podium. Then he looked at the people below and said:

"Take out the iron swords you prepared and stick them on the table like I did."

After everyone followed his instructions, the elder student said:
"The one in front of you is ordinary mortal iron, but without using spiritual consciousness and true energy, can you control him with your thoughts?

Being able to control the sword with your mind is called sword intent. Once you have cultivated sword intent, you can then cultivate sword energy."

After that, Chang Xue said: "Now, stare at the sword in front of you, communicate with it with your heart, and try to control it with your thoughts."

Everyone stared at the sword in front of them. After half a class, a disciple finally stood up and said, "Master, this ordinary iron has no intelligence. How can we communicate with it?"

Changxue was furious: "If I knew, would I still be your Changxue in Class D? I would have gone to Class C to practice sword energy long ago."

As soon as Changxue finished speaking, the iron sword on Tianlin's table suddenly flew out of the table with a clang.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Tian Lin, and to the sword held in Tian Lin's hand.

"Are you a sword cultivator?"

Changxue found it a little unbelievable. Sword cultivation was not an unorthodox practice. The reason why Daodao Sect said he was an unorthodox practice was simply because Daodao Sect's main practice was not sword cultivation.

Because a person's experience is limited, if one uses part of the time for building the five elements foundation to practice swordsmanship, and wants to make both of them his "main business", he will most likely not be proficient in either of them.

But Tian Lin has built his foundation with the five elements, and his current achievement in swordsmanship seems to be quite high.

The most important thing is that Tian Lin was still very young at this time. How did he build the foundation of the five elements and cultivate the sword intent?
He is not an inner sect disciple, so he has a large amount of elixirs to support him.

"So that you can know that I am not a sword cultivator. I just cultivated the sword spirit inexplicably."

Tian Lin showed off this skill in class not to show off, but to ask his senior students to give him some extra leniency.

He clasped his fists with his senior brother and said:

"Class D's sword training is to cultivate the sword spirit, but I have already mastered it. Please allow me to leave the academy to practice other subjects during the sword training."

After hearing what Tian Lin said, Senior Brother Changxue did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked Tian Lin:
"Sword intent is for the purpose of training and controlling the power of sword energy. In the eyes of sword cultivators, sword energy is infinite and cannot be divided into grades with simple words. Therefore, sword intent is also divided into first-grade sword intent, second-grade sword intent, third-grade sword intent, and even tens of millions of grades of sword intent, just like sword energy.

What level of sword power are you at now?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "I am a latecomer, and my ability to communicate with swords is purely a coincidence. As for the level of my sword power, I don't know it myself."

Chang Xuedao said: "You don't have to take sword lessons in Class D, but if you want to free up the time for sword lessons to practice other evil ways, I can't make the decision on this matter.

I need to report to the teaching elder and get his approval before I can allow you to take leave."

Tian Lin heard this and said politely, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother, to report this to the teaching elder for me."
