Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 474 - 248. Daoist Foundation Magical Treasure, Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo (Combined Chapters 1 and 2)_3
Lei Jun: "Hmm, the force isn’t bad. Just a bit more to the right."
Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, Master. Your disciple obeys."
After pounding twice more, he tentatively asked, "Master, if you have any other Magic Artifacts you’re not using..."
Lei Jun: "Oh?"
Zhuo Baojie stopped his movements, his hands—or rather, his claws—gesticulating in the air as if drawing a colossal bamboo shoot.
Lei Jun: "Continue. Don’t stop."
"Yes!" Zhuo Baojie hurriedly resumed his efforts.
Lei Jun nodded and then said, "The Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo..."
Xiaoxiong nodded vigorously.
Lei Jun: "I have other plans for that item."
Xiaoxiong, standing before him, instantly froze, crestfallen.
Wang Guiyuan laughed as he watched the master and disciple fooling around. Shaking his head, he smiled and suggested, "Why not decide on a Taoist name for Baojie first? It needs to be recorded in the official register."
Lei Jun: "I’ve already thought of it. Their generation will use the ’Hua’ character..."
Xiaoxiong, who had just wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, suddenly leaped up, waving both hands frantically in front of him. "Master, please not Zhuo Baohua or Zhuo Huabao!"
Lei Jun looked at his disciple.
Xiaoxiong pursed his lips. "This disciple will obey all of Master’s arrangements."
Lei Jun: "I’ll take the character ’Jie’ from your name. As your master, I will give you the Taoist name Hua Jie..."
Zhuo Baojie sighed in relief. "Thank you, Master!"
Lei Jun: "...but that won’t stop me from calling you Baobao later on."
Zhuo Baojie: "..."
Wang Guiyuan: "Junior Brother, forgive my bluntness, but you, much like the Sect Leader, don’t seem particularly suited to being a mentor."
Although he had been teased by his master for quite some time, after the Transmission Ceremony, this Gungun had formally entered the sect, becoming a transmission disciple of the Celestial Master Mansion.
And Lei Jun formally began to instruct him in the Tao.
When it came to teaching, Lei Jun was not as unconventional as when he himself studied Spells.
On the contrary, his method of teaching Zhuo Baojie was quite orthodox and systematic, just as Master Yuan Mobai had taught him.
At least, this was the case while Zhuo Baojie was in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Later, once Zhuo Baojie’s cultivation showed initial success, Lei Jun planned to allow him more freedom to explore.
His own cultivation practice was one thing, but his teaching philosophy was quite similar to that of Master Yuan Mobai.
Zhuo Baojie’s case was relatively special.
Ever since returning to the mountain and starting his practice of the Conversion Scripture under Lei Jun’s guidance, he had been steadily strengthening his foundation.
Moreover, his intrinsic talent and Root Bone were exceptionally solid. Therefore, even though Lei Jun was currently guiding his cultivation in a steady, step-by-step manner, Zhuo Baojie’s progress was still remarkably swift. This was akin to the trajectory of a very few Confucian Cultivators—accumulating a vast reserve of power before making a breakthrough.
Shortly after Lei Jun transmitted the first volume of the True Formula of the Great Way Scripture and he began cultivating it, Zhuo Baojie successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.
After Foundation Establishment, his progress in cultivation remained rapid.
"Our Sect adheres to the dual cultivation of nature and life, prioritizing Life Skill. Cultivation during the First Heaven Layer and Second Heaven Layer primarily focuses on the physical body and vital energy. Hua Jie has an exceptionally solid foundation in this aspect, so it’s not surprising that his realm is now advancing by leaps and bounds," Lei Jun remarked about his disciple during a casual conversation with Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, and Yuan Mobai. "Perhaps it could be said that he already possesses strength beyond the First or even Second Heaven Layer, but he needs to convert it into our Sect’s orthodox cultivation."
The difficulty involved was self-evident; Zhuo Baojie had already been at Dragon Tiger Mountain for over ten years.
In terms of time, it was not necessarily a gain.
But for the sake of the future, the current efforts were unavoidable.
"In terms of Root Bone Talent, he might surpass the Sacred Body, but it’s difficult to say if he has reached the Immortal Body," Yuan Mobai remarked with a smile, speaking of his grand-disciple.
Lei Jun: "Regarding Corporeal Life Mastery, he’s undoubtedly comparable to an Immortal Body; otherwise, it would be an injustice to all the years he spent indulgently eating and stuffing himself."
The compatibility between different Root Bone Physiques and Taoist Heritages can sometimes vary.
However, with physiques like the Sacred Body or Immortal Body, even a poor match guarantees a certain minimum.
To reach the peak, a strong synergy is best.
In terms of Comprehension, whether it’s Clear Insight or Serene Insight, the differences are much smaller.
Only in the Buddhist and Confucian Sects—where one emphasizes sudden enlightenment and the other focuses on accumulating extensively before making a breakthrough—might there occasionally be more intricacies.
Zhuo Baojie’s Comprehension was also not lacking.
However, for now, the advantages of his Root Bone were more pronounced.
In a way, this was part of his racial talent.
This included the fact that Gungun, ever since he was young, ate and drank indiscriminately, often causing damage, yet he could convert these Acquired experiences into benefits for himself—this too was a type of talent.
Nevertheless, when Lei Jun discussed this, he looked at his master with a sincere gaze.
Yuan Mobai did not speak; he merely raised his hand and pointed at him.
"Senior Sister, speaking of natural talent, Lei Jun and I were just discussing this the other day," Tang Xiaotang said, turning to Xu Yuanzhen beside her.
Xu Yuanzhen was casually sketching on paper, her Ink Pen moving with swift, bold strokes.
The painting depicted a scene of continuous rain.
"What is it?" Xu Yuanzhen didn’t stop, her Ink Pen continuing to dance across the paper.
Tang Xiaotang: "Has no one ever mentioned the grade of your Root Bone Talent and Comprehension?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun also turned his gaze. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Generally speaking, he rarely delved into others’ privacy.
However, if anything particularly piqued his curiosity, it was matters concerning Xu Yuanzhen’s cultivation.
It was widely known that Tang Xiaotang, his junior martial sister, possessed an Immortal Root Bone and Serene Comprehension.
As far as Lei Jun knew, when comparing their cultivation speeds, Tang Xiaotang progressed faster than Xu Yuanzhen.
