Chapter 5: Bad Mental State

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zeng Jing felt his Purple Mansion!

This was a very mysterious feeling, as if there was an immortal cave in his body. It was difficult to say the exact location of this cave.

In between the eyebrows was the Runei, one inch below it would be the Mingtang, two inches below would be the Dongfang and three inches below it would be the upper dantian. About four centimeters into the upper dantian was the void acupoint.

This feeling was too profound to understand. To put it bluntly, it was like a holy warrior feeling a small universe inside his body. The universe was endless.

The capacity of Zeng Jing’s Purple Mansion was infinite.

He let out an exclamation, “Senior Sister Bai, I think I’ve successfully built my Foundation Establishment.”

Bai Yan was speechless.

There was a strange silence. Three seconds later, Bai Yan said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense! Our sect has just encountered a disaster. I’m not in the mood to joke around now.”

Zeng Jing said, “I’m not talking nonsense. I’ve really built my foundation. If you don’t believe me, scan me with your divine sense and you’ll know immediately.”

Bai Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’ve only reached the elementary Core Formation realm. I can’t release my divine sense yet, so I can’t scan people! Moreover, even if I can release my divine sense to scan people, I won’t scan you. I won’t play around with you.”

“Eh? How is this nonsense?” Zeng Jing said. “I’ve really built my Foundation Establishment. I’m not lying.”

Bai Yan squinted.

Zeng Jing said, “Forget it. I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me. Anyway, what should I do after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm?”

Bai Yan said angrily, “After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, you will enter the Qi Refinement realm and can refine Qi. You have to start cultivating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to prepare for the Core Formation realm. Sigh, what’s the use of telling you this? Junior Brother Zeng, let me tell you the truth. You don’t have a spiritual root, so it will be very difficult for you to walk the path of cultivation in the future. It’s meaningless for you to be an outer sect disciple of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. Listen to my advice. Since you’ve just entered the sect, why don’t you leave the sect and return to the mortal world under the mountain to be an ordinary person? You might be happier. It’s better than staying here and doing chores, but not being able to pry into the Heavenly Dao.”

Zeng Jing was speechless.

This Senior Sister was kind-hearted and kind, but in the wrong direction. He stopped talking to her since he was not in a hurry to cultivate. He would find a chance to talk to her slowly later.

That night, the night was like water.

Zeng Jing slept in a dilapidated room that he had just cleaned up. This was the first time he had slept in a room in the past few months. In order to find the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect, he had trekked through the forest and slept in the wild. He had suffered a lot. It had been a long time since he had slept in a place that looked fit for a human to sleep in.

Of course, these hardships were nothing. What was truly unbearable was the loneliness.

He had lost his family and friends after transmigrating to a strange world without anyone to talk to. After spending a few months in the forest, he was actually so lonely that he was about to go crazy. Now, he finally had two people in this world who could talk.

They were not very close but they had always had to start somewhere in the art of socializing.

Having two people who could exchange names, talk, and try to make friends was something to be happy about.

He slept very soundly that night.

Perhaps because he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm and had the Purple Mansion, he could actually sense spiritual energy even though he did not have a spiritual root. In his sleep, the overflowing spiritual energy of the Shu Mountain enveloped him. He even tried to absorb the spiritual energy in his sleep, but…

4.6 billion years of cultivation was actually already extremely rich. The Purple Mansion did not care about the spiritual energy outside his body at all. It kicked out the spiritual energy of Shu Mountain in disdain and refused to absorb it.

The next day, the chirping of birds and insects in the forest woke Zeng Jing.

The first thing he did when he got up was draw water and boil it.

He fetched two buckets of water from the well and went into the kitchen to boil them. Then he poured them into the copper basin and mixed them with cold water. They turned into two steaming basins of washing water.

He carried a basin of water in one hand and arrived outside Bai Yan and the Loli Sect Master’s house. He kicked the door with his foot and shouted, “Sect Master, Senior Sister Bai, the wash water is ready. Get up quickly.”

He shouted twice, but there was no response from the house.

Zeng Jing couldn’t help but complain, “Why aren’t you up even though it is already so late? How can you cultivate if you’re so lazy?”

Just as he finished complaining, he heard Bai Yan’s voice coming from the empty space behind the house. “You woke up so late to boil water? How can you be an outer sect disciple if you’re so lazy? Hurry up and bring it to the training ground at the back.”

Zeng Jing was speechless.

‘That’s a slap in the face!’

Zeng Jing felt his face being slapped, but he had no choice but to admit it obediently.

After walking around the row of houses in front of him, there was a spacious martial arts field behind. The Loli Sect Master and Bai Yan were practicing their swordsmanship.

The two women had already changed their clothes. They were no longer in a sorry state like yesterday when they were exterminated. They looked much more elegant. The loli still had to grow up, but Bai Yan’s current appearance could really be called “fairy-like”. Her pure and beautiful facial features, coupled with her fluttering long dress, when she waved her two swords, the hem of her dress spun like a dream, causing Zeng Jing to be stunned for a second.

This young lady was even more beautiful than the class belle in university!

In the past, the class belle could not even be bothered to look at Zeng Jing, but this woman, who was even more beautiful than the class belle, smiled gently at Zeng Jing. “Our mental states are a little chaotic now, so we don’t dare to cultivate. We can only practice swords.”

Zeng Jing said, “What do you mean by ‘mental state’?”

Bai Yan didn’t mind him asking some basic questions and replied seriously, “The mental state! It’s the most important thing when cultivating. To put it simply, it’s a state of mind. A good state of mind can allow cultivation to yield twice the results with half the effort. However, a chaotic state of mind will make cultivation even more difficult. It might even cause one to suffer from qi deviation and injure the Purple Mansion.”

Zeng Jing said, “Oh! I understand! When you’re dumped by your girlfriend, don’t play League of Legends, because you won’t be able to play it at that time. You’ll only kneel all the way and even become cannon fodder.”

Bai Yan: “What did you say?”

Zeng Jing said, “I didn’t say anything!”

At this moment, the Sect Leader, Loli, suddenly threw her hand down. With a clang, the sword in her hand fell to the ground. It bounced, fell, bounced again, rolled into the distance, making an unpleasant metallic sound…

She bit her lower lip and two teardrops appeared at the corners of her eyes. She said angrily, “How annoying! We should be cultivating hard at this time and trying our best to become stronger, but why can’t we adjust our mental state at all? What’s the use of practicing swords here? No matter how good our sword technique is, it’s just body tempering. Even if we temper our bodies to the extreme, we’re just trash. We can’t revive the Sword Sect at all.”

Bai Yan said sadly, “We just encountered a disaster yesterday. It’s impossible for us to calm down today.”

“No, it’s possible.” The Loli suddenly took out a copy of the Pill Scripture and flipped through a few pages. She pointed at one of the pages and said, “Look, this!”

Zeng Jing leaned over to take a look. There was a strange herb drawn on the page with “Mind-Clearing Grass” written beside it. It had the effect of “getting rid of worries and calming the mind”.

The Sect Leader Loli said, “We have to find this grass and adjust our mental state as quickly as possible.”
