Chapter 141 Helping Hands

Someone asked loudly: "Is the eldest brother born with a Taoist body?"

Pan Yun also looked at Zhang Liuzhen with sharp eyes, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Liuzhen smiled and nodded, not hiding anything, "Yes, I was born with a Taoist body."

A low but noisy discussion broke out in the square, with envy, jealousy, and admiration...

Outside the square, not only Zhang Ziwang's expression changed, but Lin Jingle's expression also changed.

"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense," Zhang Ziwang scolded in a low voice, "I don't know how many demons and evils want to snatch the natural Taoist body, but he didn't hide it, and even made it public. Doesn't he think he has enough troubles?"

Lin Jingle glanced at Zhang Liuzhen on the high platform and whispered, "Let him move to the academy."

Zhang Ziwang lowered his eyes and said, "No, the Tianshi Mansion will not agree to it."

Lin Jingle said: "The Heavenly Master is not in the Heavenly Master's Mansion right now. If an evil spirit takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in, Liu Zhen would be in danger given his current physical condition. It would be better to let him live in the academy. Here, you and I, as well as the deans of each academy, can keep him safe."

Zhang Ziwang looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go discuss it with the Tianshi Mansion."

He looked up at Zhang Liuzhen on the high platform. He was just saying, "Qi, outside the body, between heaven and earth, is called spiritual energy. Inside the body, it is refined into one's own, and is called Yuanli, also called Yuanqi."

"Over the years, the popular name has changed a lot, but no matter how it changes, its original meaning is to transform the energy between heaven and earth into its own energy."

"And to achieve this, you have to see it, see the inside of your body, this is introspection..."

Zhang Liuzhen taught them on the spot how to meditate, regulate their breathing, enter a state of concentration, observe the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and observe the changes in their bodies.

Not only the new students, but also the old students behind them sat cross-legged on the ground, regulating their breathing and entering a state of meditation according to his instructions.

Pan Yun also followed.

She thought she would not be able to enter a state of meditation here, so she just closed her eyes and rested.

But Zhang Liuzhen's words always penetrated her ears and captured her mind.

She couldn't help but listen to him, and couldn't help but follow his breathing to enter a state of meditation.

Just as Pan Jun was about to start practicing her martial arts along with her breathing, Pan Xiaohei, who had been squatting beside her legs, gave her a claw.

Pan Yun suddenly opened his eyes.

Zhang Liuzhen on the high platform looked over, and Pan Yun immediately closed his eyes and held his breath, and after a moment he followed with a long exhalation to regulate his breathing.

But his mind remained alert and he did not sink into despair as before.

Zhang Liuzhen didn't notice anything unusual and withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the people below who were regulating their breathing seriously, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and Miao He.

He didn't sense anything unusual from them, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, his eyes sweeping over several people who had caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to vibrate.

These are all good seedlings~
Miaozhenmiao and meditated according to Zhang Liuzhen's method, and they easily saw the colorful particles in the air.

They knew that this was spiritual energy.

When they were on Mount Sanqing, they could see, mobilize and absorb, but only very little.

The two of them were more focused on cultivating their inner strength, and then doing morning lessons at sunrise, meditating, regulating their breathing, and absorbing spiritual energy.

Because during that period of time, the spiritual energy in Sanqing Mountain was the most concentrated and lively, and they were also the most energetic and could enter into a state of meditation without much effort.

Only by entering into a state of meditation can one absorb spiritual energy and transform it into elemental force or internal force.

If they cultivate internal strength, their internal strength will increase rapidly.

Of course, they also want to absorb spiritual energy directly for cultivation like their senior brothers and uncles, but it is very difficult for them to calm their minds for a long time and mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Every time they mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they would involuntarily come out of meditation and wake up.

In the end, not to mention absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, even their internal strength did not change, so the two of them learned their lesson and except for specific times, they usually cultivated their internal strength.

The master uncle said that their cultivation was not good enough. When they grew up and their cultivation was higher, they would be able to enter into a state of meditation anytime and anywhere like the junior master uncle and absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.

They had been working towards this and thought it would take a long time, but they did not expect that just by changing their breathing method, they would be able to quickly see the spiritual energy and mobilize it.

As soon as Pan Yun came to her senses, she wanted to remind Miaozhen and Miaohe, but when she turned her head, she found that they were already in a deep sleep. If she woke them up rashly, they might get hurt.

She gritted her teeth, calmed her mind, maintained a certain breathing frequency, and calmly took out a formation plate from the spiritual space.

This was the first formation she made after coming to this world, and she made it with the help of Xuanmiao.

There was no way. Her cultivation was limited and the energy in her body was so limited that she couldn't carve a complete formation plate.

She took the formation plate in her hand and opened her eyes.

I saw Zhang Liuzhen on the high platform looking towards one place, not paying attention to this side.

She immediately activated the formation, and a barrier rose up within a fifteen-meter radius around her...

Zhang Liuzhen turned his head suddenly and looked over, then took two steps forward. He looked between Pan Yun and Xuan Li, and was about to step forward when suddenly a beam of fire suddenly rose up from the side and rear of the crowd.

Zhang Liuzhen immediately ignored the abnormality here, and in a flash, he was already on the stage. His figure flashed twice in the air, and he arrived in a moment.

Zhou Wangdao sat cross-legged on a cushion, his spiritual energy surging around him, his entire body wrapped in flames, but he was not hurt.

The people nearby who had not yet fully recovered were suddenly awakened, screamed, and crawled away from him.

Zhang Liuzhen raised his hand to calm the turbulent spiritual energy, but found that it had little effect, so he whispered in his ear: "Keep calm, don't be impatient..."

Zhou Wangdao could hear him talking but couldn't answer him, otherwise he would have told him that he was not impatient at all.

Pan Jun placed the formation plate on the cushion, picked up Pan Xiaohei and placed him next to the formation plate, just enough to block people's view.

She walked through the students who were concentrating on regulating their breathing, came to the crowd, and stuck her head out to watch the fun.

The fire woke up more than a dozen students, all of whom were senior students.

They knew that this was a critical moment for the students on the field, so they did not make any noise when they woke up, except for a few screams when they were frightened at the beginning. At this time, they were all quiet, just looking for a way to put out the fire with anxious expressions.

They already wanted to pinch the water and dig the soil.

Pan Yun was short, standing in the middle of them. Hearing their whispers, he shook his head and said, "Neither of these two methods works. He's out of breath."

The voice was very small, but Zhang Liuzhen still heard it. He turned around and saw Pan Jun sticking his head out from behind and looking at him curiously.

He looked down at Zhou Wangdao, whose face was getting redder and whose neck was beginning to show signs of burning. He sighed and raised his hand to put it on Zhou Wangdao's shoulder.

Pan Yun's eyes fixed as he saw him draw the Qingmu Qi into Zhou Wangdao's body, guiding his stray Qi out and repairing his meridians. But his talent was in Qingmu Qi, wood generates fire, and once Qingmu Qi entered, the fire would burn more vigorously. Zhang Liuzhen directly drew the fire to himself...

Seeing that Zhang Liuzhen's face was getting paler and paler, Pan Jun hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, slapped Zhang Liuzhen's hand away with one hand, and put the other hand on Zhou Wangdao's shoulder.

The moment the Yuan force entered Zhou Wangdao's body, it turned into water spirit power, which extinguished the fire still burning in his meridians, and directly killed him outside his Dantian with a devastating momentum.

The flames around Zhou Wangdao were extinguished instantly, and the raging fire spirit energy calmed down instantly as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

Zhou Wangdao opened his eyes and saw Zhang Liuzhen standing in front of him and called out, "Big Brother..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, a puff of smoke came out, and then smoke began to come out of his nose, ears, and pores. Pan Jun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhang Liuzhen couldn't help it and spat out blood.

Pan Yun was stunned and stepped back quickly, "Look, Senior Brother vomited blood to save you!"

It definitely wasn't her who vomited blood, and it certainly wasn't because she was angry.

Zhou Wangdao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he quickly stood up and supported the staggering Zhang Liuzhen, "Big Brother, it's all my fault..."

"Don't..." Before Zhang Liuzhen could stop him, Zhou Wangdao had already stood up and grabbed Zhang Liuzhen's hand.

A gust of wind blew, and the clothes that seemed to be unchanged on Zhou Wangdao's body instantly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air along with the wind.

Pan Jun opened her eyes wide instantly, and the next moment, they were covered by a pair of hands. All she could hear were the screams of her senior sisters and the restrained laughter of her senior brothers.

Pan Jun grabbed the hand that was covering her eyes and tilted her head slightly, "Master nephew?"

Wang Cong's face was dark. He covered Pan Yun's eyes tightly and led her to the crowd. "Little Master, let's go find the two sisters."

Pan Yun felt extremely sorry and pulled Wang Cong's hand, saying, "Let go. I will never look back."

Wang Cong looked back and saw that some fellow Taoists had hurriedly taken off their outer robes and put them on Zhou Wangdao, so he let go of his hand.

The students who had been meditating were slowly coming out of their trance. They had just woken up and had no idea what had happened. They were still sitting there, surprised at the progress they had made in their practice.

When they noticed something was wrong behind them, they turned around and looked back.

Pan Yun passed by them without looking back, and said to Wang Cong with a serious face: "I didn't see anything, and am I the kind of person who would look into other people's privacy and disrespect others? Even if you don't cover my eyes, I will close them."

Wang Cong: "Little Master, it would be better if you could be more confident when you said these words, and not contain so much regret."

Pan Yun said: "I'm only nine years old!"

Wang Cong snorted.

Pan Yun asked: "How did you get in? And how could you come to the square..."

Wang Cong: "I was also a student who left the academy. I came back to see my former teachers and fellow students. Isn't it normal?"

He paused and said, "I met Zhang Weiliang at the foot of the mountain yesterday. He was escorted out of Shangqing Town by two Taoist priests from the Zhang family. They said he was going out to gain experience. I was worried about you, so I came up to see you."

Pan Yun: "Don't worry, I'm very capable. I didn't see you when I went down the mountain to buy a notebook yesterday. I thought you had gone home. I wanted you to bring me some letters."

Wang Cong sighed and said, "I see. Please give me the letter and I will take it back."

The two returned to Pan Yun's position.

The people sitting in this area are still in meditation and have not woken up yet.

When Wang Cong got closer, he realized something was wrong. The spiritual energy here was gentle and lively, completely different from the spiritual environment ten steps away.

He looked around and couldn't help but look at the black cat.
He walked forward and picked up Pan Xiaohei, and only then did he see the formation plate hidden in front of it. Just now, it was lying on its two paws, perfectly covering the formation plate.

Pan Jun glanced at Miao Zhen and Miao He, then turned to look at Xuan Li, and seeing that she was about to wake up, he put away the formation plate.

As the formation plate was put away, the noisy sounds and the overly active spiritual energy that was still there after the riot was quelled poured into this world.

Xuanli suddenly woke up from his meditation, Miaozhen and Miaohe's eyelids trembled slightly, and they opened their eyes after a moment.

At this time, the students who had woken up one after another also realized that something had happened to the side and rear, and they all gathered over there to join in the fun.

When Miao He woke up, he saw that everyone was gathered behind him. Without checking his own cultivation, he got up and stood on tiptoe to look over there, and asked curiously, "Master Junior, what are they doing there?"

Pan Yun said: "Big Brother vomited blood, everyone is concerned about him."

"Ah, why are you vomiting blood?" Miao He looked puzzled, "Wasn't Senior Brother guiding us in our training just now?"

Wang Cong breathed a sigh of relief. The junior uncle was still somewhat reliable. He said, "Don't worry about it. Someone will take Senior Brother away. This class has already exceeded the time limit. You should also pack up and go back to the courtyard to attend the next class."

"Brother, why are you here?" Miaohe was surprised to see Wang Cong.

Wang Cong rubbed her head vigorously, ruffling her hair, and then he felt relieved. "I've been standing here for a long time, and all you can see is the excitement?"

Miaohe smiled and lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.

Miao Zhen had already checked his own cultivation and said, "Big Brother, Junior Uncle, this breathing method is very strange. The speed of cultivation in half an hour is almost catching up with my previous day's cultivation speed."

Pan Yun also said: "It can enter into a state of meditation very quickly, and it is very easy to enter a deep state of meditation and immerse the mind."

Wang Cong: "This breathing method is not originally from the academy. I have never learned it before. It is probably invented by the senior brother."

He smiled and said, "He is a genius. You should learn from him in the future."

Pan Jun is always suspicious of things, including people. "He just gave me such a good breathing method?"

Wang Cong said: "He is a selfless person."

Pan Jun raised his eyebrows, looking unconvinced.

Wang Cong smiled and said, "I know that Junior Uncle has a bad impression of the Zhang family because of what happened before, but think about Fourth Uncle, her last name is also Zhang."

Pan Yun said, "Actually, my initial impression of Fourth Senior Sister was also very bad."

Wang Cong: …

The grievances and love stories of the elders ~ He wanted to listen, but he didn't dare to.

"But it's much better now. Are there many people like Fourth Senior Sister in the Zhang family?"

Wang Cong said: "Not many, but the majority are fair and good people. Otherwise, the emperor would not have conferred titles and granted the Tianshi Mansion an imperial decree, ordering the Tianshi Mansion to manage the Taoists in the world, and the Taoists in the world would obey."

Miao Zhen said unhappily, "If the Zhang family is really so good, why are we being bullied as soon as we enter the academy, and no one has come forward to help us?"
