Li Yunjing initially thought that these jade scrolls were just like mortal books and needed to be read page by page.
Who would have thought that, upon opening the "Shenxiao Dao" jade scroll, there would be not only an audio explanation but also visual guides.
If I can't learn this way, wouldn't I be a complete fool?
The "Qi Refining Technique" Li Yunjing got at the start required him to meticulously study it. It wasn't anything , which is almost like watching TV!
This time, Li Yunjing truly gained some insight; if he had stayed mingling in the mortal world without coming to the Shenxiao Dao Sect, wouldn't he have grown even weaker?
Carefully following the displayed actions from the jade scroll, Li Yunjing performed the techniques mentioned in the "Shenxiao Dao" and couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly detailed the basic knowledge here was, far superior to his previous Qi Refining Technique.
From Qi movement to breath control and absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, there were extremely detailed steps included. Some minor tips even improved the efficiency of absorbing primordial energy.
With each inhale and exhale, each motion and stillness, Li Yunjing felt that based on the methods recorded on the "Shenxiao Dao" scroll, his efficiency had at least tripled compared to the previous day.
Before long, Li Yunjing had already mastered the new Qi Cultivation Technique.
After mastering the Qi Cultivation Technique, Li Yunjing did not indulge in cultivation.
Time was pressing, and he needed to integrate into the sect soon. Li Yunjing hurriedly read through the sect rules.
He also meticulously reviewed information regarding the origins of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the customs of the Great Ming Dynasty, other cultivation forces, as well as information on demon fiends and exploration sites.
Of course, common knowledge of the cultivation realm, identification of magical treasures, elixirs, arrays, spiritual objects, spiritual materials, and talismans were also thoroughly reviewed.
This knowledge was very important and particularly crucial for Li Yunjing, as these were the areas he lacked.
Li Yunjing scanned through the materials quickly, with each image and description being vividly recorded in his mind.
At this moment, his exceptional intellect and high comprehension ability became evident.
The vast amount of knowledge recorded in these jade scrolls, if converted into books as in his previous life, would likely fill an entire study room.
But Li Yunjing only needed a glance to clearly memorize each content.
The information on these jade scrolls was so detailed that through studying and reading them, Li Yunjing finally understood the real worldview!
Previously, many of the common knowledge Li Yunjing had acquired while mingling in the mortal world were incorrect!
Now, his worldview was corrected, putting him on the right path.
"Fortunately, I joined the Shenxiao Dao Sect. Otherwise, had I left in a fit of anger and become a loose cultivator, my cultivation would have been fundamentally flawed. What success could I even hope to achieve?"
Li Yunjing kept exclaiming, becoming more excited the more he read.
He was so engrossed that he even forgot to eat, remaining in a state of excitement for a whole day and night.
Submerged in the ocean of knowledge and completely absorbing it, Li Yunjing had long forgotten fatigue and hunger.
It wasn't until noon the next day, with bloodshot eyes and red veins appearing in his eyes, that Li Yunjing thoroughly grasped a part of the truth of this world.
Especially matters within the Great Ming Dynasty's territory.
Unfortunately, the contents recorded in the "Shenxiao Jade Scroll" were for external reference and were limited to the Great Ming Dynasty.
Records about other nations and continents were sparse.
As for internal affairs of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the records were similarly few.
Most were related to matters from a thousand years ago, with practically no information on internal and external affairs of the Shenxiao Dao Sect from the last twenty years.
Li Yunjing understood that this was a confidentiality measure by the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
As a servant disciple of low rank, this was all he was allowed to know.
If one wanted to know more, they would need to be promoted, starting from an outer disciple and eventually becoming a true disciple!
At this, Li Yunjing could only suppress his hunger for more knowledge.
Unfamiliar with sect's internal matters, Li Yunjing decided to remain low-profile, blending in as a servant disciple and slowly experiencing the day-to-day affairs within the sect.
Putting down the jade scroll, Li Yunjing got up and stretched his body, finally letting out a big yawn.
Having not eaten for a whole day and night, Li Yunjing began to feel hungry.
After a simple washup, he left the courtyard, planning to head to the dining hall of the Miscellaneous Hall to eat.
The disciples of the Miscellaneous Hall were often in a bitter plight and naturally did not have the qualification to use the Grain Avoidance Pill as food.
Even among the outer disciples, meals were necessary.
Considering the intense competition among the outer disciples, the contribution points and Spirit Stones they painstakingly earned needed to be wisely allocated to improve their strength.
The vast majority of outer disciples wouldn't squander Spirit Stones on purchasing Grain Avoidance Pills; they too needed to eat.
Since even outer disciples had to eat, it was natural that servant disciples like Li Yunjing had to have three meals a day.
One of the tasks of servant disciples was to take care of the dining hall, providing three meals a day for both the outer disciples and fellow servant disciples.
Following the guidance from the sect information jade scroll, Li Yunjing walked for a quarter of an hour and found the dining hall at the east side of the Miscellaneous Hall.
The dining hall was quite large, an independent palace three stories high. The plaque above the door had three large characters inscribed: "Yaxiang Garden".
This was the place where the servant disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect dined.
At this time, groups of three to five gray-clad Daoists were constantly entering and exiting the gate.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Li Yunjing nodded and quickly stepped into the hall. The first thing that caught his eye was a large hall.
The hall was bright and spacious, with numerous glazed lamps hanging from the ceiling, illuminating every corner with light.
Li Yunjing took a quick glance and saw at least five to six thousand spacious seats in the hall.
Among them were many servant disciples moving about, some talking, some eating at tables, and others discussing martial cultivation or various sect tasks in groups of three or five.
"Are there really this many servant disciples in the Shenxiao Dao Sect?"
Li Yunjing's mouth unconsciously gaped open, showing an expression of surprise.
Seeing the scene of his fellow disciples dining, he was deeply shocked.
He truly hadn't expected that such a "lowly" disciple group even in the Shenxiao Dao Sect would have so many people.
He had thought the entire Shenxiao Dao Sect would only amount to a thousand or so people!
It turned out that he was truly a frog at the bottom of a well, having greatly underestimated the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
As for how formidable the Shenxiao Dao Sect's Daoist skills were, Li Yunjing wasn't entirely sure, except knowing it was the top Daoist sect in the Celestial South Continent.
However, through the distribution of the standard equipment given to servant disciples and dining experiences , Li Yunjing genuinely felt the strength of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
There were probably no fewer than ten thousand servant disciples!
"Brother, you're here for a meal too? Let me introduce myself. We're in the same cohort. My name is Ma Xingyuan, a loose cultivator from Ming Province, and now we're fellow disciples."
While Li Yunjing was lost in thought, a voice sounded beside him.
