Chapter 169: Absorbing Spiritual Energy
Zhang Weiyi bought his lunch box from the cafeteria, which contained roast duck, steamed chicken, braised pork and meatballs, and some vegetarian dishes.

Pan Yun's eyes swept over the dishes, and she couldn't help but smell the aroma of meat in the air.

Their Sanqing Temple, like the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, belongs to the Zhengyi Taoist sect. The rules are not as numerous and strict as those of the Quanzhen Sect, but meat and fish are allowed on weekdays.

But not banning meat doesn't mean they will eat meat every day.

In fact, they don't eat meat very often.

When they were at Sanqing Mountain, Wang Feiyin felt that they were still growing and could not do without meat, so if no one brought meat up from the mountain, he would give them eggs to eat.

If the interval lasted more than a month, he would reluctantly kill a chicken for them.

On average, they can eat meat once every five days, and the amount of meat is pretty good.

But this is rare in the entire Taoist community, because after they came to the academy, they usually eat vegetarian food, and every three days they will have a meat dish, which is the meat...

It's almost like shredded pork, except for the slight taste, it doesn't feel like meat at all.

The Taoists also live a hard life.

Therefore, this food box filled with fish and meat is still very eye-catching.

Miaozhen and Miaohe's eyes couldn't help but fall on the food box.

Pan Yun: "Brother Zhang, what's this?"

Zhang Weiyi explained: "This is prepared to celebrate Junior Sister's descent from the mountain. The three of us pooled our money to buy it. It is considered to be a gift to Junior Sister to cleanse her body and welcome her back."

Pan Yun looked at the food box without moving.

Zhang Weiyi sighed and said, "Everything before this was just a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart, Junior Sister."

Miao Zhen leaned close to Pan Yun's ear and whispered, "Master Junior, Zhang Weiliang and the other two have moved out of Fengqiyuan. Zhang Weiliang has gone to the cliff of remorse, while Zhang Weigang and Zhang Weiqin are out there gaining experience. I heard they won't be back until they graduate next year."

So there are only six of them left in this courtyard. Unfortunately, Zhang Weiyi, Xue Hua and Deng Ziyu will also graduate in early September this year and leave after receiving their ordination.

There are still three months to go.

Obviously, this was a gesture of goodwill from Zhang Weiyi and the other two. They hoped that they could get along well in the remaining three months and not cause any more trouble with each other.

Pan Jun figured it out, smiled at them, and took the food box. "Okay, thank you three brothers for the food box."

Zhang Weiyi closed the lid for her, smiled and nodded at her, "Then we won't disturb the three junior sisters from having their meals."

After delivering the food boxes, the three of them turned around and left.

Pan Yun watched them return to their room, then turned around and took Miaozhen and Miaohe back to her room.

She sighed, "If Zhang Weiliang and the other two had been like this, it would have saved us a lot of trouble."

Pan Yun and Miao Zhen said, "So when we go out, we must be kind to others and not offend them easily. There are always people better than you. Who knows when we will meet someone who is not ours?"

Miao He: "Uncle Junior, we all listen to you, so..."

Pan Yun: "You don't need to say the rest."

Miao Zhen: "Are you bragging about yourself, Junior Master, or are you teaching us? Because to Zhang Weiliang and the others, you are just an outsider."

Pan Jun couldn't help but sigh to the sky, "It's only been a short time since we came down the mountain, and you've already learned complicated things."

Miaozhen and Miaohe smiled.

After coming down the mountain, the main task is to study.

There are not many female Taoists in the academy. No matter how Taoists preach equality of all beings, the general environment here does not allow many families to let women show their faces in public.

A Taoist priest is also born to his parents. No matter what the reason for becoming a Taoist priest, everyone has an original family.

This means that there are more male Taoists than female Taoists.

People of the same sex like to play with people of the same sex.

After the relationship between Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain eased and bilateral friendship developed, and Pan Yun showed that she was not easy to bully, many more girls in the academy were willing to approach her.

Everyone didn't do anything, just nodded and said hello to each other when going to class, or when running to the cafeteria to get food, they would involuntarily run together and laugh and make noises together.

Miaozhen and Miaohe also quickly found new friends.

Of course, the one who plays best with them is Xuanli.

I have to say, although this kid has a bad mouth, he is really a good friend worth making friends with.

She really does get involved when something happens.

Xue Taixu was in the magic class, and when he saw Pan Yun, he said, "Pan Yun, come up and draw a diagram of the life gate."

Pan Jun was about to get up, but she saw her black cat sleeping soundly next to her. Pan Jun was gentle in a rare moment, so she gently picked it up and took it aside.

It only took a few breaths of time, and Xuan Li, who was separated from her by a Miaozhen, saw that she didn't move, thinking that she didn't know how to draw because she missed class, so she stood up and said, "Dean, I can draw, let me draw."

Pan Jun raised her butt halfway and then dropped it back down smoothly. She looked at Xuan Li with gratitude and admiration.

Xuan Li took a glimpse and felt even more proud, and tilted his neck to wait for Xue Taixu's consent.

After a moment's silence, Xue Taixu said, "Then let Xuanli come up and draw." Miao Zhen and Miao He were all puzzled. They didn't understand why she was arguing about this. It's not like her junior master couldn't draw.

However, Xuanli did not draw it wrong. The life gate diagram in the cultivation diagram is not difficult to draw. Just draw the two kidneys and the liver and gallbladder qi cyclones.

Xuanli's painting is very standard.

Xue Taixu nodded involuntarily, asked her to sit back down, and then called Pan Yun's name, "Pan Yun, tell me about this life gate diagram."

Pan Yun thought for a moment and said, "The inner kidney is the two yin and yang, with a chain in the middle, storing my true essence, red and white qi. The left one is the dark yang, and the right one is the female yin."

Xue Taixu stroked his beard and nodded, saying with satisfaction: "Yes, you see, this is the Zhongxue, which is my acquired Xianghai, and also the real lead, which is the northern killing righteousness. If you follow it, you will be born, and if you go against it, you will become an immortal. This water and fire are both five elements, running day and night, so the two kidneys form a Tai Chi in the human body..."

Xue Taixu taught them how to cultivate kidney qi, and how to use kidney qi to drive the circulation of the five elements of qi in the five internal organs, storing essence in the body and releasing it outside the body.

The former can help you hold on to your breath at a critical moment, while the latter can show weakness and then strike suddenly, killing the enemy unexpectedly.

Of course, he not only talks about the moves, but also extends them to some views on how to behave in society.

Teach them not to be too aggressive and to learn to hide their strength.

Pan Yun and the others listened very carefully. Only then did she feel that the academy was really a place to learn knowledge.

It is very similar to the school in her previous life. Well, it is still a little bit different, but it is rare in this era.

No one bothered her anymore, and the lives of the three disciples returned to normal, with their energy focused on cultivation and study.

Every ten days, they would receive money sent from somewhere, and then go down the mountain with the money to buy medicine for bathing.

Pan Yun also drew a talisman and put it in the Wendao grocery store for consignment. When she went to consign the letter, she handed the written letter to the shopkeeper Chen, who helped her to mail it.

So far, there is no problem at all.

When she was imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance, she did not write any letters to Datong. It was the first time that her father had not received a letter from her for such a long time. He became anxious and sent three letters to Longhu Mountain in a row, all of which were received by Miaozhen.

Pan Yun did not mention that he was punished. He only said that he had made great progress in his cultivation recently and was in seclusion practicing, so he could not go down the mountain to send a letter.

Regardless of whether Pan Hong believed it or not, Pan Yun firmly believed it. Didn't she go to the Cliff of Repentance to retreat?
The night she came down the mountain, she did not meditate or practice. In her sleep, spiritual energy rushed into her body.

She has been in this state since she came out of the cave.

This is like a sponge that has been exposed to the sun for more than forty days and has become extremely dry and shrunk. At this time, it is suddenly placed in a humid space. Even if you don't water it, it will automatically open and absorb moisture in the air.

Anyway, since she came down the mountain, her body has been automatically absorbing spiritual energy to replenish the energy in her dantian and her limbs.

She also planned to take it slow.

After all, she didn't damage her foundation, so there was no need to push herself too hard. Besides, she still had to have dinner with Miao Zhen Miao and didn't have time to sit down and practice for the time being.

After nightfall, she had no intention of meditating and practicing. She washed up early and lay down, allowing her body to slowly adapt to the spiritual environment.

But she didn't expect that at dawn, when the spiritual energy in Fengqiyuan became thicker, her body would automatically open up and swallow the spiritual energy in big gulps. Before she knew it, several Tai Chi energy balls formed in her body...

Finally she woke up from the pain.

After noticing the abnormality in her body, she immediately sat up cross-legged and began to practice the exercises. She first refined all the spiritual energy absorbed into her body, converted it into her own energy, and then pressed it into her dantian...

Then she began to absorb the spiritual energy that was rushing towards her.

A large amount of spiritual energy was attracted. At first, the spiritual energy around her couldn't squeeze in, but it circled around and didn't want to leave. Finally, small groups of spiritual energy formed above her head and around her body...

Then, above her roof, the spiritual energy in Fengqiyuan came rapidly, forming a spiritual energy vortex above the roof...

Finally, in the high sky, the spiritual energy of the entire academy and even Longhu Mountain was flowing here, and it seemed to form a ribbon-like color in the air, and finally formed a huge spiritual energy ball in the sky.

Miaozhenmiao and others who were meditating opened their eyes and realized that the spiritual energy around them had decreased and they could hardly absorb any spiritual energy.

This was the first time they encountered this since they moved into Fengqiyuan.

Miaozhen thought about it, opened the door and went out.

At a glance, she saw a large amount of spiritual energy rushing towards Pan Yun's room. She looked up at the spiritual energy vortex slowly forming above the roof, then turned back to the house.

She took the sword hanging on the wall, walked to Pan Yun's door and sat down cross-legged.

As soon as she sat down, Miaohe from the next room quietly opened the door and looked out.

Miaozhen turned her head to look at her.

Miao He saw her, blinked, opened the door, ran forward, and whispered, "I will protect the law with you."

The two of them sat on the left and right in front of Pan Yun's door to protect her.

There was a slight noise in the three rooms in the middle. Miao Zhen gripped the sword tightly and turned to look.

But the person in the room did not come out. Instead, he stood at the window, looked for a while, and then left without even turning on the light.

Miaozhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Miaohe also stopped looking for the talisman paper in her sleeve pocket. The two of them sat in silence, occasionally looking up at the growing ball of spiritual energy in the sky.
