Chapter 6: The Difference Between Tao and the Ordinary (2)

  "Since you all agree, I'll have to inform Patriarch Flame Dragon now." Luo Cheng'en glanced at the four of them with his eyes, and after seeing that they all nodded, he took out a rhombus-shaped jade token from his Qiankun bag and used it to communicate with the transmission array inside.

  ……

  The next morning, Changsheng hurriedly got out of bed and washed up. Yesterday, Wang Zhenren had instructed him to go to the outer gate's Canggong Pavilion before breakfast to receive the pre-foundation cultivation method.

  Wearing his training uniform, Yao Yang's sword was tied behind his back. After closing the courtyard gate, Chang Sheng headed towards the Cang Gong Pavilion in his memory.

  All along the way, at every hour, one could see some outer door disciples of about the same age as himself walking out of their respective courtyards and heading in the same direction.

  Changsheng knew that the canteen was on that side, and Elder Wang had already told him about the three major public areas yesterday. The canteen is on the left, the transmission hall is on the right, and the martial arts arena is in the center.

  All the outer disciples around Chang Sheng looked at him with either curiosity, indifference or disdain. And every time he felt someone looking at him, Chang Sheng would throw a friendly smile. Except for a very few people, they would usually return a friendly smile.

  Arriving at the outer gate of the library, I gazed at the solemn and majestic building in front of me. I adjusted my clothes, held my head high and walked in with confidence. As soon as I entered, I saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a table to the left.

  When he heard the door open, the old man who was meditating immediately opened his eyes. He said calmly, "Please show your identity card."

  Chang Sheng immediately took out the ID card that was issued to him when he went through the entrance procedures yesterday and handed it over to the old man.

  The old man took it and looked at it, with a flash of light in his eyes. On the front of the waist card was written "Changsheng, seven and a half years old." The back had a fire cloud-shaped gourd pattern. This gourd pattern is the symbol of Dan Yao Peak.

  He handed the identity token back to Changsheng, nodded and said: "Identity verified, this is the foundation-building technique you are about to cultivate." As he spoke, he handed a jade slip to Changsheng.

  Chang Leixiao took over. Yesterday, when Wang Changlao left, he had already told himself that when he arrived at the Cangshu Pavilion, someone would hand over the prepared Gongfa to him.

  Looking at the jade stone the size of an egg in his hand, Chang Sheng's eyes were filled with confusion. He bowed and asked: "Excuse me, senior, what is this? How do I use it?"

  "This is the Transmission Jade Tablet, you just need to drip a drop of fresh blood on it and it will automatically transmit the kung fu methods into your mind. This way, the kung fu methods can be permanently stored in your memory and won't be forgotten." The old man explained slowly.

  Changsheng's eyes lit up and he muttered: "Is there really such a wonderful thing in the world?!"

  "This world is vast and full of wonders, with all sorts of strange things. Go ahead, if you have any questions during your cultivation, you can find me at the Transmission Hall." The old man said calmly.

  "Thank you, senior." Chang Sheng bowed respectfully and then turned around to leave.

  As soon as Changsheng left, the old man's appearance changed immediately. He transformed from an old man with a face full of wrinkles to a young man with a elegant demeanor. However, his eyes, which were filled with the weight of years, told people that his actual age was not as young as he looked.
