After showing off a bit, Wang Qi gathered his Mana Power Intent and ceased his display of skill. Being in the Trial area, it would not be goodIf he attracted any Demon Beasts due to overly obvious displays of Mana Power Intent.
Wu Fan lived next door to Wang Qi, and naturally, this wasn't their first day eting one another. However, he had never imagined his neighbor to be so exceptionally talented. He looked at Wang Qi and then bent down to touch the marks on the ground, muttering, "Brother Wang, you really are..."
"The very definition of 'the neighbor's child'!" Wang Qi retorted. "No need for praise, or I'll start blushing."
Watching Wang Qi's feigned shyness, Wu Shiqin felt as if she had been struck by a Spirit Attack: Blush? Your skin must be thicker than the walls of a fortress! How much blood must be drained to make that thick skin blush!
"Xiao Qi is really amazing!" Mao Zimiao was also remarkably surprised.
At this mont, Su Junyu interjected, "You could perhaps consider the Mysterious True Inheritance, but the chances for Wanfa True Inheritance are rather slim."
Wang Qi objected, puzzled, "That doesn't sound right; the Wanfa Sect is hard to master but easy to enter, its score threshold is surely lower than that of Mysterious Palace, isn't it? Senior Brother Su, you don't need to aggrandize yourself like this, do you?"
Su Junyu shook his head, "Not at all. It's just that this year, becoming a True Inheritor is extrely difficult. Leiyang Immortal Institute has admitted a genius disciple this year..."
Wang Qi burst out angrily, "Damn it, is this also rigged?"
Su Junyu said, "That person is a descendant of the Bo Family from Baling."
"The Baling Bo Family? So what if it's Bo..." Wang Qi paused, his expression previously unconcerned, rapidly recalled a terrifying family.
On Earth, few scientists treat their profession as a family business, but there are exceptions. That family nad "Bo", following this world and Earth's mysterious correspondence...
"It's that Bo Family with eleven Carefree Great Cultivators. Besides these eleven, the Bo Family also has dozens of Grandmasters," Su Junyu explained. "The Bo Family has a close relationship with our Wanfa Sect, and generation after generation has disciples joining the Wanfa Sect, and our unparalleled expert Senior Ouna was also a disciple of a predecessor from the Bo Family."
Indeed... the Bernoulli family...
On Earth, scientists are like rare ginseng in the mountains, each one precious, but there is one family that produces scientists at every generation. The Bernoulli Family has a tradition of scientific achievent, producing over a dozen renowned mathematicians over four generations, a true miracle in the history of mathematics.
Su Junyu's expression showed slight pity, "If you were a year earlier or a year later, there would possibly be a chance for you to beco a True Inheritor of Wanfa. But this year..."
"The Bo family predecessors are the Bo family predecessors; their descendants are closely related to them." However, the reputation of the Bo family didn't intimidate Wang Qi. He had mastered mathematics in his past life, and even if not world-class, his aptitude matched a 21st century level. The mathematics of Shenzhou had only evolved to the late 20th century level of Earth, and considering that mber of the Bo family was at best a beginner, the gap between him and them wasn't as significant as Su Junyu thought.
Wu Shiqin then asked, "Does a True Disciple an that only one is accepted per year?"
Su Junyu shook his head, "There's no explicit rule regarding that, but the Exceptional Sects typically recruit a True Disciple once every few years. Usually, the Wanfa Sect accepts a True Disciple every two or three years."
Wu Fan boldly asked, "Senior Brother Su, see, um, I want to join Mountain River City..."
Su Junyu glanced at Wu Fan, "Your foundation in Canghai Sangtian is solid; there shouldn't be a big problem. I don't know about your theoretical level, but since you could enter the Immortal Institute, surely your comprehension must be high enough that becoming an Inner Sect Disciple wouldn't be an issue."
Entering Xinyue Immortal Institute as a son of a Loose Cultivator already proved Wu Fan's exceptionality.
"What about ?" Mao Zimiao curiously interjected.
"You're diligent enough, but Tianling Ridge has much stricter standards for accepting disciples than other Sects. A True Disciple is out of reach for you, but there is a fair chance you could beco an Inner Sect Disciple with more effort."
The exchange between Su Junyu and others left Wang Qi montarily lost in thought, reminiscent of the analyses, aningless or not, that he used to hear from relatives and friends around college entrance exams in his previous life.
Wu Shiqin also looked at Su Junyu, her eyes filled with expectation. However, at this mont, Su Junyu furrowed his brows.
"What do you an?"
Su Junyu sighed, "If you want to spell it out... you are the one I am the least optimistic about."
Wu Shiqin stood up agitatedly, "Why? How is that possible? I clearly solved the puzzles in the back hall."
Su Junyu shook his head, "The puzzle in the back hall of the Transmitting Technique Hall is just a puzzle, and that one in front of Heavenly Song by Heavenly Elent Group, apart from ntioning interference with Heavenly Song and the Heavenly Elent Group, is rely a simple mathematics problem. At best, it underscores so talent in mathematics. Mathematical talent is indeed crucial for Modern Cultivation Practition, but... you lack 'heart support'."
Wu Shiqin looked puzzled, "Heart support?"
She had never heard of this term before!
Su Junyu didn't directly answer but instead turned to ask Wang Qi, "Do you know what heart support is?"
Wang Qi replied, "Heart support, or 'Character Cultivation'. In the Ancient thod, each Cultivation Technique corresponds to a type of heart support. An old saying goes, 'if one cultivates life without cultivating character, this is the foremost ailnt in Cultivation'. If one fails to cultivate the heart leading to a misalignnt between ntal state and Cultivation Technique, it's easy to deviate, and the more one cultivates, the farther one gets from longevity—of course, this is what Ancient thod Practitioners claim; I don't know if Modern thod views it similarly."
Modern thod Cultivators often quote ancient terms to summarize their understandings while pursuing the Great Dao, leading to so terms bearing completely different anings between ancient and modern tis.
Su Junyu chuckled, "It seems having an old man with you does have so uses, huh?"
Zhen Chan humd in their minds, acknowledging. Knowledge of heart support was content only encountered after Foundation Establishnt in the ancient teachings, and Wang Qi's clarity was thanks to Zhen Chan.
Su Junyu continued, "This term's ancient and modern anings haven't changed much and generally an the sa. During the process of drawing Spiritual Energy into the body and refining it into Mana, the Soul is stimulated, giving rise to various thoughts. These thoughts vary with different Cultivation Techniques. If the inherent thoughts significantly conflict with those stimulated by the Cultivation Technique, it will cause the Cultivator's mind and spirit to beco agitated, unable to control the Mana within the body. This is precisely the cause of deviation."
In ancient tis, those cultivating fire were fierce, those cultivating water were gentle, gold cultivators were sharp, earth cultivators were steady, sword cultivators were relentless, those nurturing Vast Energy were dignified and upright, and Demon Path Cultivators naturally carried deep malicious qi.
Turning back to Wu Shiqin, Su Junyu continued, "And you, your heart support is entirely unqualified."
