Zhuge Yuanhong gazed at Tan Qing, the more he looked, the more delighted he became: "Tan's surname is strong and resilient, not arrogant or impatient, with a natural talent and determination! Under my careful guidance, it won't be difficult to enter the Pre-Heavenly Realm in ten years. Once reaching the Pre-Heavenly Realm, one can sense the heavens and earth, gradually increasing their cultivation... With Tan's surname, after decades of bitter practice, surpassing my achievements is not impossible. Perhaps in the future, I will return to the Yuan Sect and make it the number one sect in Yangzhou. Take that Qinghu Island and replace it!"

  For super strong people, some secret books and treasures are no longer in their eyes.

  That's just an external thing.

  At the level of Zhuge Yuanhong and others, what is valued more is internal cultivation. And for them to find a truly suitable disciple, it's very difficult!

  It's easy to get wealth, but it's hard to get a good disciple!

  "Green Mountain, from now on, you should focus on cultivating yourself and strive to enter the prenatal realm as soon as possible." said Zhuge Yuanhong.

  "Yes, Master." Teng Qing Shan replied.

  Mouth agreed, Tan Qing Shan was puzzled in his heart. He feared that he had already reached the peak of Houtian, but as for his realm... In this life and the previous one, he had been asking himself about his realm, although he couldn't compare to his master Zhuge Yuanhong, at least he wasn't inferior to that 'Ghost Fox' Sima Qing. But why didn't he have any signs of entering Xiantian?

  "Master, this is from post-heaven entering pre-heaven, what should be done?" Teng Qing Shan asked.

  "Haha......"

  Zhuge Yuanhong saw that Cong Qing was so anxious, and couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, I'll tell you a little bit today! In this world, innate masters are extremely rare, one in tens of millions! On the other hand, acquired peak masters number in the hundreds of thousands to millions. From this, you should understand how difficult it is for an acquired master to enter the realm of an innate master!"

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  The population, Teng Qing Shan also knew that in his hometown of Yicheng, an area of about 200-300 miles, there were 20-30 million people. The entire Jiangning Prefecture had a population of around 300 million. The whole Yangzhou, I'm afraid it's 3-4 billion people!

  "The day after tomorrow, to enter the prenatal, first and foremost, must reach the peak of the postnatal!" Zhuge Yuanhong said with a faint smile, "Secondly, the 'spirit' in the human body's 'essence, spirit, and vitality' must be strong enough! Thirdly, find the method of 'harmony between spirit and energy'! With these three conditions, combined with one's innate talent, perseverance, and coincidental opportunities, can enter the prenatal!"

  Hong Qingshan silently kept these in his heart.

  The method of 'harmonizing with God and Qi'?

  Teng Qing Shan is completely unaware.

  "When you reach the peak of your life, you should know this. This second one, 'Jing Qi Shen', I must discuss with you seriously!" Zhuge Yuanhong said, "This 'Jing' is the essence of the human body, which means the essence of blood. In a person's lifetime, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, eating grains and crops can all be transformed into the essence of the human body! The foundation of this person's body is 'Jing'!"

  "This energy, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and after being refined through practice, it becomes internal strength! It's also this energy that can combine with essence to make a martial artist's body strong and healthy. You probably all understand about internal strength. But among these three, you must listen clearly about 'spirit'!" Zhuge Yuanhong's expression turned serious.

  Teng Qing Shan listened attentively.

  This is related to whether one can enter the Innate Realm.

  "This 'god'! It's also what the mountain people call 'spirit', and what we martial artists call 'heart spirit'. Some people always feel muddled, drowsy, this is because their god is insufficient! Their heart spirit is weak! And some people, every day are full of energy, whatever they do, they have strength. This is 'god sufficient'. Of course, this so-called god sufficient, is only in relation to ordinary people."

  "Martial artists cultivate internal energy, and this internal energy can originally 'nourish the spirit', so martial artists are generally spiritually abundant! To reach the prenatal state, the requirement for the 'spirit' is much higher than ordinary people's spiritual abundance, it must be ten or a hundred times more!" Zhuge Yuanhong said, "This requirement is extremely harsh, and almost all martial artists are stuck at this stage. Unable to enter the prenatal state."

  Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow: "Master, how can we be certain that the power of the gods is sufficient to reach the Pre-Heaven stage?"

  "Good question!" Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "To see if the 'god' is enough to reach the pre-heavenly state, there is a very simple way!"

  "What's going on?" Teng Qing Shan asked repeatedly.

  Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and stretched out his hand, and a deep blue light flew out from his palm.

  Hong Qing Shan felt a heart-trembling power from the deep blue glow, and he couldn't help but stare at it: "Primordial True Yuan! This is Primordial True Yuan! Master's Primordial True Yuan is much stronger than that 'Sima Qing'! I'm already feeling apprehensive before even meeting him."

  Only the deep blue light was seen, like a deep blue silk ribbon. It surrounded Zhuge Yuanhong's body, wrapped around twice, and finally merged into Zhuge Yuanhong's body again. Then Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Teng Qingshan: "Qingshan, did you see that?"

  "I see." Teng Qing Shan nodded.

  "When your 'god' can control the inner energy, it means that you have one foot in the prenatal." Zhuge Yuanhong said with a smile, "The harmony of god and gas is what is meant by 'god' being able to merge with gas in all things and control the operation of inner energy. Of course, this is very difficult! You must learn the method of 'harmonizing god and gas'."

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  "How can one achieve harmony between spirit and energy?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "To make the 'divine' powerful enough to break through the sealed Mud Ball Palace!" Zhuge Yuanhong said, "The Mud Ball Palace is in a person's brain! And the 'divine' are all hidden inside this Mud Ball Palace. The Mud Ball Palace is sealed. Therefore, the divine of ordinary warriors can't break out at all."

  Hong Qingshan also understood this in his heart.

  In "The Annals of a Thousand Years" of the previous life, 'Nirvana Palace' is also mentioned.

  Eliminate the obstruction of Mud Pellet Palace, and the spirit can harmonize with the air. Only then can it be transformed and enter the prenatal state.

  "Of course, there is a secret method to enhance the 'divine' and break through the Mud Ball Palace! It's the method of 'harmonizing the divine and energy.' " Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "These methods are all secrets that the major sects do not pass on to outsiders!"

  "What about the earliest ancestors who didn't have any secret methods? How did they break through?" Teng Qing Shan asked involuntarily.

  Zhuge Yuanhong said: "No secret method? Then we need to create one! The secret methods of the various major sects, of course, were all created by our predecessors."

  Hong Qingshan was amazed in his heart.

  It's too difficult to control the inner energy outside the body through 'divine' means.

  "Green Mountain, some secret books are divided into three levels: 'Heavenly', 'Earthly' and 'Human'. You already know the Human-level secret book, which is what later-stage experts cultivate," said Zhuge Yuanhong. "The Earthly secret book contains methods to break through one's innate abilities. Many strong innate practitioners can study it. As for the 'Heavenly secret book', it's even more mysterious."

  Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Tan Qing: "Qing, the Earthly Scripture and Heavenly Scripture are of great importance. They must be approved by the elders before I can give them to you. So, let's wait until I formally accept you as my disciple before giving you the scriptures."

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  A big sect naturally has its rules. The earth-level secret manual and the heaven-level secret manual cannot be given out just because someone asks for them!

  "Qing Shan, I'm telling you! Our Yuan Sect has two top-grade heavenly secret manuals! Among them, the 'Returning to the Origin Heart Manual' is the most powerful and is our sect's guardian secret manual!" Zhuge Yuanhong said solemnly.

  Similarly, the power is also divided into high and low levels.

  Teng Qing Shan understood this point, sometimes some ultimate moves were indeed powerful. His own "Poison Dragon Drill" was extremely strong. "Could it be that Master wants to pass on the 'Returning Origin Heart Classic' to me?" Teng Qing Shan thought secretly in his heart, "The Returning Origin Sect, the 'Returning Origin Heart Classic', just by hearing the name, I know it's an important scripture."

  Zhuge Yuanhong continued: "The 'Guiyuan Heart Classic' is the most cultivated by the high-ranking masters of the Guiyuan Sect throughout the generations. For thousands of years, more than 90% of those who have reached the prenatal stage are cultivating the 'Guiyuan Heart Classic'. Therefore, there are many books on 'heart realization' written by predecessors in the sect that can be used as reference for problems encountered during the cultivation process of the 'Guiyuan Heart Classic'. In this way, it is not easy to take a detour during the cultivation process."

  "But... 'Guiyuan Heart Classic' is a swordsmanship training manual!" Zhuge Yuanhong said.

  Teng Qing Shan was shocked upon hearing this.

  Swordsmanship?

  What's the use of practicing marksmanship for myself?

  Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Tan Qing: "I have returned to the original sect, with two great heavenly secret classics, one for swordsmanship and one for knife techniques. Therefore, Qing Shan, if you want to learn the 'Returning to the Origin Heart Classic', it's best to abandon your spear technique and learn swordsmanship! Actually, the principles are interconnected, with your current spear technique realm, I'm sure learning swordsmanship will also be very quick."

  "Qing Shan, what do you think yourself?" Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Teng Qing Shan.

  Discard gun method? Learn sword method?

  This idea had just risen in his mind when it was discarded by Ceng Qing Shan. The hard work of the previous life's Xingyiquan continued to be studied in this life, and was transferred to gun techniques. Using a long spear, he could use it as if it were an extension of his arm. Moreover, the Five Elements Fist technique had only been transformed into three moves, with two more moves yet to be transformed.

  It can be seen now that the Five Elements Gun Method has an extremely great power.

  "Master, no need!" Teng Qing Shan shook his head without much thought and said, "I'll still learn gun techniques. Does my sect have any earth-level gun technique manuals?"

  "There is, but it's just a 'Ghost Moon Gun Classic'!" Zhuge Yuanhong said. "Among the many weapons such as swords, spears, and clubs, guns are the most difficult to master! Even among the nine states of the land, those who have reached the level of Xiantian and still use gun techniques are extremely rare! The number of people using guns is far less than those using swords! To improve one's gun technique, the difficulty is great, and there are very few examples to draw from."

  Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Tan Qing: "Qing, you'd better think it over carefully! I plan to formally accept you as my disciple on September 21st in the Guiyuan Temple. You can give me your answer then!"

  "Yes, Master!"

  Hong Qingshan replied.

  "Right, Qing Shan, this 'spirit and energy harmony'! The 'spirit' can control the inner strength, not to make you reach my level, just being able to slightly control it is enough. Your inner strength has left your body, but you can still slightly control it. That's what 'spirit and energy harmony' means. Of course, don't be impatient, it's very difficult to achieve this step. When you get the secret book, follow its methods and practice well. One day, you will succeed." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "Hmm, you can go back first."

  Hong Qingshan stood there in a daze.

  Inner energy leaves the body, can slightly control?

  That...

  Your own dark flying knife?

  The flying knife shot out so far, controlling the inner energy explosion, what is this?

  "What's wrong with you, just standing there?" Zhuge Yuanhong growled.
