Later, everyone got on the carriage.

Wu Zhengze and Chen Xu rode alone in one, and he said to Chen Xu, "You have opened the Sea of Literature early, and this matter is settled. What you need to do now is to find a Qi Cultivation Technique and nourish your Qi Blood frequently.

I currently do not have the qualifications to officially take on a disciple, so I cannot pass on my sect's Qi Cultivation Technique to you.

However, a hundred miles north of Yunjiang Prefecture, in the Silver Mist Mountain, there is a Moon Wave Pond, where the mysterious Turtle Lord is known as the Master of Embracing Simplicity Cave.

The Master of Embracing Simplicity Cave likes to form bonds with young talents. You don't have a sect, and your background is clear, so perhaps you could meet the Master of Embracing Simplicity Cave and participate in its Clouding Mist Poetry Gathering.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the Cyan Smoke Poem. Anyway, at the poetry gathering, anything that pleases it might earn you a Clouding Mist Fruit.

You might also be taught the method of Qi Cultivation by it.

The Clouding Mist Fruit can greatly replenish Qi Blood, and the Master of Embracing Simplicity Cave's method of Qi Cultivation is renowned across the Seven Prefectures of the South.

It is a first-class health-preserving technique in the world, and practicing it can greatly compensate for the physical wear and tear we scholars endure."

Wu Zhengze said this with a heart full of concern.

Chen Xu originally wanted to tell him that he didn't need to look for another Qi Cultivation method, but upon hearing that the Master of Embracing Simplicity Cave's method is first-class, he suddenly had other thoughts.

What Chen Xu thought of was his family.

The superior health-preserving method was unnecessary for himself, but he could pass it on to his family.

And the spiritual fruits and objects that replenish Qi Blood are more than welcome for Chen Xu.

But Chen Xu didn't plan to let Wu Zhengze worry too much, so he said, "Master, on the day I and Brother Feng entered the Netherworld, we met the soul of a Great Scholar.

The technique for opening the Sea of Literature early was taught to me by that Great Scholar's soul.

I am now cultivating Qi; once I cultivate for a few more days, the drawbacks of having an overstrong Divine Soul can be managed."

This statement indeed contained some misdirection.

Wu Zhengze, upon hearing this, thought that Chen Xu's Qi Cultivation method was taught by that Great Scholar's soul.

But Wu Zhengze was paying attention to another piece of information in Chen Xu's words and hesitantly asked, "Brother Feng is…"

Chen Xu said, "Oh, Brother Feng Yuanbai. Brother Feng insists on calling me brother, and as a student, it was hard to refuse."

After he finished speaking, Chen Xu suddenly shut his mouth.

Why does this sound a bit off?

It sounds like... bragging?

But Chen Xu couldn't say, it's just that Magistrate Feng insisted on calling me "Master Chen," and I felt so awkward that I had no choice but to reciprocate."

Wu Zhengze immediately looked at Chen Xu with a bewildered expression.

Since when did Chen Xu start fraternizing with Magistrate Feng like this?

Wu Zhengze suddenly realized that Chen Xu's ability to make friends was terrifyingly strong, having a Great Scholar's soul teach him techniques and fraternizing with the County Magistrate Advanced Scholar...

So, what was he, the master, in this scenario?

For a brief moment, Wu Zhengze even started to doubt himself.

Being a master these days is too difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Xu quickly asked another question to Wu Zhengze: "Master, although my Qi Cultivation isn't very high, my Qi Blood is indeed more abundant than ordinary people.

Why… does it seem like you can't sense it?"

This was a question Chen Xu had long wanted to ask.

Actually, not only could Wu Zhengze not sense it, but it seemed like all the creatures with cultivation that he had met couldn't sense the traces of his Qi cultivation either.

No, Mr. Zhou knows!

Except for Mr. Zhou, of course.

When Mr. Zhou first met him, he saw through his unusually high Tri-Attribute at a glance.

Mr. Zhou even thought he had another sect, so he didn't directly teach him the Qi Cultivation technique.

Chen Xu was very curious about how to determine another person's level of cultivation face to face.

This was a very important question.

Wu Zhengze felt a sense of comfort when listening to Chen Xu's question.

After all, there was still some use for him as a master.

Wu Zhengze knew that Feng Yuanbai often came at night to give lectures to Chen Xu.

But he never directly faced Feng Yuanbai, as long as Chen Xu was not in danger, Wu Zhengze never meddled unnecessarily.

Feng Yuanbai was an Advanced Scholar, and Wu Zhengze recognized his knowledge.

Secretly, he thought that the other might actually teach better than he did.

However, at this moment, Wu Zhengze suddenly realized that he might be able to excel over Feng Yuanbai in another aspect.

Wu Zhengze gently stroked his short beard and said with a cough, "The matter of sensing Qi machines does have a special technique.

But this kind of technique should not be easily performed. Otherwise, imagine staring at every passerby, looking them up and down as if you are going to dissect them with your gaze.

Is this observing people? Or provoking trouble!"

Master Wu advised earnestly, "Chen Xu, one should not be combative and contentious, or provoke trouble."

The master seemed constantly worried about his penchant for combat and contention!

Chen Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, yet he was somewhat touched. He was about to reassure Master Wu with a few sentences: He was indeed not a combative and contentious person.

Wu Zhengze then lowered his voice and said, "What I learned from the Daoist Sect is a technique called the Tide Observation Method, described as observing Qi like observing tides. I can teach it to you.

After learning it, remember not to use it lightly unless someone truly provokes you.

Know this, any Qi Observation Technique will likely be sensed by others with slight cultivation once you employ it.

Unless your cultivation is far superior by three, five, seven, or eight levels.

When you're that far ahead, do you still need to use the Qi Observation Technique?

By then, everything will naturally be in front of you, which is called seeing through like a blaze.

That is the true clarity and insight only a truly high person can have.

Heh, if you attained such a realm, seeing or not seeing would make no difference."

Master Wu stroked his short beard, instructing Chen Xu.

Listening to this, Chen Xu's heart and spirit were slightly stirred, thinking of a capability he had after his Firewood Splitting Knife Technique reached Level 2: "Microscopic."

Thinking about it now, "Microscopic" and Master Wu's "seeing through like a blaze" seemed to be very similar?

However, Chen Xu's "Microscopic" was still at a Basic Level, only allowing him to sense subtle Qi machines within a few feet when focusing intently.

This was also his way of communicating and comprehending heaven and earth.

Of course, now that his cultivation broke into the mid-stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, and he had opened the Sea of Literature today, this sensing range seemed to have expanded significantly.

But since Master Wu was beside him, Chen Xu wouldn't easily exhibit it.

Nonetheless, the persistence of "Microscopic" is overly vague, making Master Wu's Tide Observation Method still worth learning, serving as mutual verification and supplement.

Chen Xu, while thanking Master Wu for his generous instruction, made a mental note to prepare more Spiritual Food for him later to replenish his Qi Blood.

Wu Zhengze, being a scholar too, had the same issue of an overly strong Divine Soul with insufficient Qi cultivation.

Substances that replenish Qi Blood should indeed be abundant.

Chen Xu also noticed that after successfully opening the Sea of Literature, the Food Cauldron Celestial Book sensed this and a few new messages appeared:

[You have infused Qi into the Sea of Literature, manifesting a Divine Spirit, now regarded as the essence of the Cauldron. You have obtained a spiritual material, one drop of Jade Dew of Wishful Seeing.]

[New spiritual material activated, gaining Fireworks Value +300.]

[Opened the Divine Soul pathway, gaining Fireworks Value +1000.]

What Jade Dew of Wishful Seeing was, Chen Xu had no opportunity to examine yet.

"Master." He still had many questions, so he asked, "While Qi Observation techniques exist in the world, is there a Hidden Qi technique?

Although you mentioned that casually probing others' Qi is very impolite, and most would not do so lightly.

But if encountered, how should it be dealt with?"

"How should it be dealt with?" Wu Zhengze paused in stroking his short beard, his gaze suddenly becoming slightly solemn.

"Chen Xu, since you've opened the Sea of Literature, naturally, if you can fight, fight; if not, run!

Can you run?"
