Chapter 254: Settling Old Accounts (Requesting Monthly Votes!!!)
“The doubts I’ve accumulated over the years are only these.”
“I earnestly request Shishu to provide guidance, I will remember your kindness deeply!”
As he finished speaking, Geng Yunsong deeply bowed, not rising for a long time.
Although the path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties and thorns, it is evident that this young man has a correct worldview and has not been tainted by certain “bad habits.”
His tone was sincere, and his words came from the heart, appearing genuine.
Unless he had an exceptionally vivid acting talent that could deceive Liu Yu, it was clear that the young man before him did not.
He shook his head secretly.
In the sect, being complacent with the status quo would suffice for such traits, but to gain more resources, one must become “savvy” and make some changes.
He did not need a qi refinement stage cultivator’s so-called repayment and remembrance, hence, after hearing the young man’s words, his heart remained calm like a still lake.
Liu Yu did not reply immediately but fell into contemplation.
After a while, he slowly began to speak, answering each of the young man’s doubts one by one.
As one’s cultivation level rises, offering guidance to a qi refinement stage cultivator from a higher vantage point should not present significant issues; the answers were mostly correct.
Most questions could be answered accurately, while a few could be given a general direction for the young man to explore gradually.
Even golden core cultivators would not dare to say their understanding of the qi refinement stage is flawless and without any problems.
If every question received a precise affirmative answer, it would undoubtedly mislead the disciples.
For someone at the foundation establishment stage to resolve over ninety percent of a qi refinement stage cultivator's doubts is already considered excellent.
In situations unrelated to personal interests, Liu Yu was still very committed to his promises.
Thus, his guidance was neither deceitful nor misleading, fully embodying the demeanor of a “senior expert.”
“Does Geng Shizhi have any further doubts? If so, let’s speak them all now.”
“The next opportunity to answer will be in half a year.”
After speaking continuously for nearly half an hour, Liu Yu felt somewhat parched and took a sip of the prepared spiritual tea from his storage bag before casually asking.
“I only have these doubts for now. Thank you, Shishu, for resolving them!”
Geng Yunsong respectfully bowed again and then spoke.
“Hmm~ Since there’s nothing else, you may leave.”
Liu Yu waved his hand, his expression unchanged, and spoke lightly.
“Yes, disciple takes his leave!”
After Geng Yunsong bowed, he slowly exited the cave dwelling.
Liu Yu set down his teacup and watched Geng Yunsong’s retreating figure, shaking his head slowly. This young man ultimately did not understand his true intent.
If hard work alone could elevate one's realm and lead to ascension as an immortal, then what would be the difference between a genius and a waste?
Why has the cultivation world, since ancient times, never ceased to compete for resources and territory? How many cultivators have fallen for this reason?
Following the rules inevitably leads to becoming a pile of dust, especially for those with ordinary qualifications, which utterly erases their future.
Only by breaking through barriers and changing one’s mindset, seeking opportunities amid chaos, and planting a golden lotus in the fire could one possibly “reverse destiny.”
The initial words also subtly hinted at the need for adaptability.
“Ordinary, mediocre.”
This was Liu Yu’s impression of this young man.
Although Geng Yunsong had become a cultivator, his mindset had not fundamentally transformed; he remained at the level of an ordinary person.
He possessed extraordinary power but lacked extraordinary thought.
Or rather, he had not truly recognized the real nature of this world.
A general achieves success at the cost of countless bones.
