Chapter 409: First, Elevate the State of Mind
Di Jun unexpectedly fell into Qi deviation at this moment. Ye Tian had never anticipated such a thing to happen. If it weren't for Di Jun's impatience in his cultivation, this would never have occurred.
But there was no point dwelling on it now. Since he had already succumbed to Qi deviation, the priority was to rescue him as quickly as possible!
The Purple Leaf Grass had already been found. Now, the most important task was to refine it into a pill. Once the pill was successfully concocted, Di Jun should be saved.
Watching from the side, Xu Cailian found Ye Tian's pill refinement process utterly mesmerizing. His technique was so intricate, almost like a dazzling acrobatic performance. In just a short while, several pills had been successfully refined.
"All done!"
Ye Tian held the freshly refined pills in his hand. These were top-quality pills. Without hesitation, he immediately administered them to Di Jun.
Cough, cough!
After consuming the pills, Di Jun felt an immediate improvement. Moments ago, he had been utterly drained, his entire body on the verge of collapse.
Even though he could hear their conversation around him, it had been meaningless—he lacked the strength to even open his eyes.
But now, things were different. He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Tian. "Ye Tian, I truly owe you my life. If it weren't for you, I'd be dead for sure this time."
"You don't need to thank me. Your Qi deviation is partially my fault. When I guided you in your cultivation, I didn't emphasize enough that you mustn't rush. That's why this happened to you."
"No cultivation technique should be practiced hastily. But I was too fixated on defeating the Jade Emperor, and that's why I lost control. This has nothing to do with you."
"How do you feel now?"
"After taking the pill, I feel much better. Ye Tian, I really can't thank you enough."
Ye Tian observed that Di Jun's condition had improved significantly. Now, what he needed most was proper rest. Smiling, Ye Tian said, "You've suffered some internal damage from your Qi deviation. Right now, your top priority is to rest and recover. I won't disturb you."
"But—"
Di Jun wanted to say something, but Ye Tian interrupted him. "What else do you want to say?"
"I want to resume cultivation as soon as possible. Only by doing so can I defeat the Jade Emperor sooner."
"Your most important task right now is to rest. As the saying goes, 'as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn.' If you rush into cultivation again, you may suffer another Qi deviation. You wouldn't want that, would you?"
"But I'm anxious! Sometimes, I just can't control myself."
Ye Tian thought about it and acknowledged that Di Jun had a point. Some people struggle to regulate their emotions. After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll teach you a technique. Once you master it, you should be able to stabilize your emotions."
"What technique?"
"The Clear Mind Technique."
Di Jun was taken aback. Was Ye Tian joking? Could practicing this really enhance his strength?
"But this technique doesn't actually improve my strength, right? If I'm not mistaken, it only helps in maintaining inner peace."
"You're right. But if you can't even see into your own heart, how can you expect to reach greater heights in cultivation? Reflect on what I've said—I hope you can gain some insight from it."
Xu Cailian was surprised to see Di Jun learning from Ye Tian. This only made her admiration for Ye Tian grow even stronger.
"Master, why don't you teach me too? I want to cultivate alongside you."
"She's your disciple?"
Di Jun looked at Xu Cailian in surprise. Had Ye Tian taken on a female disciple? If so, Di Jun couldn't help but feel uneasy. Ye Tian would surely guide his female disciple with great care, ensuring she didn't suffer the same setbacks he had.
"Yes, I just accepted her as my disciple. But don't dwell on it too much—focus on your own cultivation. We'll be heading out."
Ye Tian and Xu Cailian left the cave together. As they walked, she looked at Ye Tian eagerly. "When will you teach me cultivation?"
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous. I don't want you to be too impatient. Sometimes, rushing can be detrimental."
"You say that, but I haven't even started yet! At least let me begin!"
She was eager to start cultivating right away. As long as she could begin training, she would be overjoyed. She wasn't thinking about anything else.
With such a powerful master, she felt that as long as he taught her a few techniques, she might not become invincible, but she would at least become a formidable expert—far stronger than she was now.
Ye Tian, however, was somewhat disappointed. Why was his new disciple so impatient?
One's state of mind could be seen through their eyes. Though she had some talent, it was merely a kind of cleverness.
Relying solely on wit wouldn't get her far on the path of cultivation. It might give her an initial advantage over others, but in the long run, she wouldn't be able to sustain her progress.
Having walked the cultivation path himself, Ye Tian understood what truly mattered for a cultivator. The key was to first elevate one's state of mind. Only by reaching a higher state of mind could one surpass others.
First elevate the state of mind, then enhance one's cultivation. That was the correct way to cultivate!
