Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 342: Advanced Concept
After knowing the other party's identity, Lin Qianxing was not surprised but happy.
The wisdom accumulated by a [Grand Scholar] is obviously sufficient.
If I could get some insights from him, many of my confusions would be easily solved.
"So it's Palace Master Zhuang in person." Lin Qianxing said politely, "I am indeed a little confused."
"What kind of confusion?" Zhuang Ji asked.
"The road to the third level has come to an end, and I don't know how to take the next step." Lin Qianxing said.
"Is there no way to start?" Zhuang Ji asked.
"No, it's just that there are too many roads and I don't know which one to choose." Lin Qianxing spoke up and said something that made Zhuang Ji look a little dazed.
But after a moment of silence, Zhuang Ji roughly understood Lin Qianxing's dilemma.
He clearly pointed out Lin Qianxing's problem and said, "In this world, there is no rule that a person can only take one path. Since you have thought about it so much, why not try every path?"
With just one sentence, Lin Qianxing was enlightened.
Yes, there are thousands of Taoist positions, why should he limit himself to making this one Taoist position accommodate his many Taos?
He can distribute his thousands of Taos to thousands of Taoist positions!
"Thank you, Palace Master Zhuang, for clearing up my doubts. It really solved many of my worries." Lin Qianxing bowed and said.
Sometimes thinking too high may not be a good thing.
That can easily lead you into a dead end where you can't even figure out some very simple and clear answers.
"You're too polite, sir. Even without my answer, I'm sure you can figure it out on your own," said Zhuang Ji.
"Speaking of which, I still have some questions about Taoist positions. I wonder if Palace Master Zhuang could answer one or two?" Lin Qianxing struck while the iron was hot.
"Just say it." Zhuang Ji said with a smile.
Lin Qianxing was not polite and directly threw out all the troubles that had accumulated over this period of time.
At the beginning, Zhuang Ji was able to answer the questions smoothly, but as the questions became more profound, he began to find it a bit difficult.
He believed that his knowledge was among the most extensive in the entire Xuanyuantian, but faced with Lin Qianxing's many questions, he still felt embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
If Lin Qianxing hadn't realized that many things were beyond Zhuang Ji's understanding and didn't go any deeper, he would have probably blown Zhuang Ji's CPU.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Seeing Zhuang Ji's mysterious performance when he appeared, he thought the other party must be a big shot.
Now it seems that's it?
That’s not right. From his perspective, it is indeed like that.
But from , there seems to be nothing wrong with calling a fourth-level Taoist a saint.
After the exchange, Lin Qianxing benefited a lot and also had some ideas about breaking through the fourth level.
At the end of the conversation, Zhuang Ji finally told the purpose of his visit. He said, "I see that you are very knowledgeable, I wonder if you would like to pass on your knowledge to me?"
Lin Qianxing suddenly realized that they wanted him to be a lecturer?
"How much is the monthly salary? Let me make it clear first, I can only teach two classes a month at most." Lin Qianxing said.
Zhuang Ji was choked by Lin Qianxing's words, but he still said: "The salary of the lecturer of the academy is paid according to 100 gold coins per month. Although ordinary lecturers are required to have ten classes per month, you are an extraordinary person after all, so it is okay for you to have two classes per month. In addition, the academy is willing to give you double the salary."
"Good vision." Lin Qianxing gave Zhuang Ji a thumbs up, and then said: "I will make you understand that you are not wrong about him."
Just like that, Lin Qianxing directly became a lecturer at the academy. Of course, at present he can only teach at Tiangong Academy.
Things in the world are changing, it's so unpredictable.
Du Ji seemed very nervous after knowing that Lin Qianxing and Zhuang Ji had met.
Who is Zhuang Ji?
He had already become a fourth-rank [Grand Scholar] a thousand years ago, and several of his disciples had ascended to heaven, but he had still refused to go to the upper realm.
The last time he made a move was over 700 years ago, and because it was too secretive, no one knew how strong he was.
All I know is that after that incident, Kanghua Academy's status among the five major academies was ranked first.
If he targets us, our teacher will be in trouble, right?
"You are just worrying for nothing. Even if he wants to slice me up for research, he can't do it." Lin Qianxing shook his head speechlessly and said, "Besides, if we really fight, even though his cultivation is higher than mine, I will definitely have a better chance of winning."
After hearing Lin Qianxing's words, Du Ji's mood changed again.
He had tried his best to imagine how powerful Lin Qianxing was, but now he found that he seemed to have underestimated it.
"Since you are fine, teacher, I feel relieved." Du Ji said.
"How is your practice going?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"I have not been negligent in the assignments given by the teacher. Yesterday I upgraded the position of [Weaponsmith] to the middle level of the second rank." Du Ji replied.
"You've finished everything?" Lin Qianxing said with a little shock.
He actually doubled the amount of homework he assigned to Duggie according to the standard.
His goal was to wait for Duggie to fail to complete the task so that he could stand up and criticize him, saying that Duggie had average talent and give him a slight setback.
I didn’t expect Duggie to actually complete it?
Could it be that I was wrong and this silly boy is actually a talented player who will succeed late in life?
"Teacher, did the student do anything wrong?" Du Ji asked with a little confusion.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The completion speed is okay. Is there anything else you don't understand that you would like to ask?" Lin Qianxing asked back.
"There are some. Teacher, what do you mean by giving Taoist skills to objects through Taoist patterns?" Du Ji said.
"This is to materialize the traces of Tao. Simply put, it allows objects to learn a certain kind of Tao skill. In fact, it is the same as many craftsmen giving objects special functions. The only difference is that we use forging, while they use their professional Tao skills to give them corresponding functions..."
When it comes to his professional field, Lin Qianxing starts talking incessantly.
This talk lasted for two or three hours.
Lin Qianxing stopped only after Du Ji felt his head was swelling with confusion.
"Let's stop here for now. After all, your comprehension is limited. If I say too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it all at once." Lin Qianxing said.
Hearing this, Du Ji looked quite ashamed and said, "I am a very stupid student. I am sorry for causing you trouble."
If outsiders knew about the conversation between these two people, they would probably be dumbfounded.
If Lin Qianxing dared to say it, Du Ji would really believe it.
According to Lin Qianxing's standards, more than 99% of the people in the world are garbage in terms of their understanding, and the remaining few are just garbage worth looking at.
But Du Ji actually believed it.
He had never seen anyone with extraordinary talent, and he felt that his own achievements were insignificant compared to Lin Qianxing, so he thought that he was really stupid.
Little did he know that his talent was probably one of the best in the entire Xuanyuan Heaven.
"By the way, how is Wen He's job at the Dance Academy going?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. Xiaohe has some talent. Now she is a lower-level [Dancer] of the first rank." Du Ji said.
"So fast? Isn't her talent stronger than yours? I should have accepted her as my disciple!" Lin Qianxing said with a little surprise.
Du Ji felt even more ashamed when he heard this. He said, "I feel ashamed of my teacher's cultivation."
"I'm sorry, I spoke too hastily, please don't take it to heart," said Lin Qianxing.
Du Ji: “…”
After sending Du Ji away, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but look at Du Ji with the third eye between his eyebrows.
Unfortunately, apart from information such as energy levels, I couldn’t see much else.
Lin Qianxing had some vague guesses in his mind that Du Ji was probably as his name suggested.
It's really auspicious.
Just imagine why Duggie always has so many good things happen to him.
Firstly, meeting him at such a crucial moment allowed him to rescue his childhood sweetheart and find a famous teacher to teach him.
When you are short of money, you can meet Lu Rang to give you money, and even the prince Ji Xuan will rush to give you resources.
Even his childhood sweetheart is gifted and not just a pretty face.
I won’t go into detail about other small details, but it seemed as if his luck had been turned on since he met Lin Qianxing, and it started to pour down like crazy.
"What a lucky boy this silly boy is!" Lin Qianxing murmured.
Fortunately, he is his apprentice, and he can also share some of his luck, so it doesn’t matter.
…
Soon, Lin Qianxing gave his first class in the Tiangong Academy of the academy.
At first, the students were attracted by his peculiar appearance, but as he talked, the students discovered that Lin Qianxing had something, and many of these things were not possessed by other lecturers in the academy.
They soon became absorbed in listening.
After one class, the name "Bi Lao" of the puppet lecturer of Tiangong Academy became famous in the academy.
According to rumors among students, this lecturer is Du Ji's teacher.
Because he was obsessed with the art of puppetry, he even transformed himself into a tireless, pain-free puppet, and was promoted to the fourth level.
He is very knowledgeable and can give an answer to almost any question.
Even if it was Taoist knowledge that he had never come into contact with, he could still give useful answers in a simple and easy-to-understand way from other perspectives.
Taking one class with him is almost equivalent to taking ten classes with other lecturers from Tiangong Academy.
It is said that he even had a battle with the Palace Master and was impressed by the Palace Master's strength, so he was willing to come to the academy to become a lecturer.
Lin Qianxing didn't know the gossip among the students, but he didn't care about it.
He is already preparing to build his own fourth-level Taoist position.
Lin Qianxing wanted to deduce a future path for the Taoist profession of [Soul Forging Master].
He will not discard the essence of "forging", and he will also retain the key points of "spirituality".
He wanted to take the two as the core and fit them to his own needs, and go a step further to create a fourth-order Taoist position.
Lin Qianxing named this Taoist position [Forging Spirit Puppet].
