In order to test Daiyu's qualifications, Shi Zhongkui also used Daiyu to stimulate Jia Baoyu.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed at a soft cushion and saw a cushion levitating and flying to the open space next to Daiyu.

"Meditate cross-legged. Seeing that you have good qualifications and consider me your brother, I will make an exception and teach you the formula again. If you don't understand, you can ask now.

If you can cultivate your magic power, don't let anyone bully you in the future. If you don't bully others, it will be fine."

Daiyu was overjoyed after hearing this and immediately sat down. After Shi Zhongkui looked at Jia Baoyu again.

Seeing that he was still stunned, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Bao is too honest, why don't you sit down quickly."

After hearing this, Jia Mu hurriedly told Wang Xifeng, "Hurry and get a soft cushion for Baoyu."

Then he said to Shi Zhongkui, "Bo Qian still understands Bao Yu. This child is too honest and sometimes seems to be inflexible. In the future, Bo Qian please take care of Bao Yu more because he is your brother-in-law."

Shi Zhongkui smiled helplessly. It seemed that all grandmothers in the world were the same, and Jia Mu also became a bit cunning like an ordinary old lady.

After passing on the formula for the second time and explaining the key points in detail, Daiyu first entered the cultivation state.

Although Jia Baoyu still only remembered seven or eight sentences, because Shi Zhongkui explained it in detail, he naturally fell into practice.

Not long after, Jia Lan, accompanied by her mother Li Wan, followed Jia Lian and walked in carefully.

After saluting Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia She, Xing, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhen, Shi Zhongkui pointed to the open space in front of him without waiting for Jia Lan to speak.

"sit down."

Jia Lan looked at Li Wan in confusion and saw Li Wan pushing him forward with an eager and excited expression.

Before coming here, Jia Lian had already given a rough idea, and now it turns out that just as Jia Lian said, the teacher Shi Zhongkui is willing to teach Jia Lan the method of cultivating Taoism.

How could Li Wan miss this opportunity?

Not to mention that there were already Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in the room, sitting on the floor and practicing in front of everyone.

Jia Lan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground respectfully in front of Shi Zhongkui to salute.

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, "Lan'er, I have been teaching you to study for a year. Although you are not extremely talented, you are also polite and sensible, and you are not lacking in diligence and perseverance.

And the last point is more important than talent, do you remember?"

Jia Lan nodded hurriedly, but was very discerning and did not speak. Instead, he kowtowed three times again.

"Very good." Seeing Jia Lan being so alert, Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but smile and continue, "Since I have taught you the true Taoist practice today, I will officially admit you to the door in front of the old lady, your grandfather, grandmother and mother.

In the future, when you practice Taoism, you must also learn the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and at least pass the Jinshi examination, otherwise the teacher will be embarrassed to say that you are a direct disciple."

Jia Lan was stunned, while the rest of the Jia family were overjoyed.

Jia Zheng stepped forward quickly, pressed Jia Lan's head, and asked him to kneel three times and kowtow nine times.

After some etiquette, Jialan officially became a disciple.

But in the future, how much success can we achieve on the journey of cultivating Taoism?

Firstly, look at his talent, and secondly, whether he is really consistent with his appearance, always courteous and polite, and does not go astray.

If he had passed Shi Zhongkui's repeated tests, not to mention the Changchun Kung Fu, at least the talisman and seal script techniques, he would be able to learn as much as he was capable.

But after thinking about it, I decided to speak more clearly, "Except for the secret sword-controlling skills of the Shi family, as long as you practice hard in the future, how much you can learn about the talisman and seal skills and cultivation methods depends on you, kid.

It’s up to you.”

When Jia Lan heard that sword control was not taught, he was just stunned, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.

He kowtowed again respectfully and said, "Since I have thanked Master, I will definitely focus on the imperial examination in the future and not embarrass Master."

Hearing Jia Lan say that he focused all his attention on the imperial examination, Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "It seems that your mother has taught you well."

Jia Lan's face immediately showed a smile, and Li Wan's heart was beating with excitement.

With this compliment, from now on no one in the Jia family would dare to neglect his mother and son.

Not to mention that Jia Lan has become the direct disciple of the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasties, which means he has truly found a big supporter. Even Mrs. Wang, who does not want to see her mother and son, has to think about improving Jia Lan's treatment in the future.

This is to prevent the direct descendants of the family from feeling resentful because of unfair treatment.

In the future, he will be admitted as a Jinshi. After he becomes an official, he will not see his grandfather very much. My grandmother will tell me that if I hold a grudge against Baoyu, I will be in trouble.

Jia Zheng's thoughts were much simpler. He thought that Shi Zhongkui valued Lan'er so much. If Baoyu failed to live up to his expectations, he would put all his expectations on Lan'er.

However, while Mrs. Wang was worried, she was also secretly surprised that Shi Zhongkui was so blind that he did not take a fancy to Baoyu.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongkui doesn't care what she thinks.

A concubine wife could not determine the future of the Jia family, and her son was not up to expectations. Even if Jia's mother returned to the west, she would at most be domineering in the Rongguo Mansion.

Not to mention Jia She and Mrs. Xing were watching eagerly from the side.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are even more focused on the inheritance of the title.

As long as she continues to support Jia Lian, Mrs. Wang will still have many things to worry about in the future.

After Shi Zhongkui returned the salute to Li Wan who saluted him, he continued to explain to Jia Lan, "Cultivation is illusory, and countless people with amazing talents and beauty from ancient times to the present have achieved nothing in the end.

I just think that my qualifications as a teacher are not bad, and I have only practiced Qi to perfection in the past 17 years.

To break through to Foundation Establishment is equivalent to passing a life-and-death barrier, and to break through the Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul doesn't even know if it will be possible in his lifetime."

This is nonsense. Shi Zhongkui has only been practicing Taoism for two years, but he used himself as an example. No one would refute it, and no one has the ability to refute it.

When the Jia family heard that building a foundation was equivalent to passing the test of life and death, their expressions immediately changed.

While they were worried about Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan, they were also worried that if something really went wrong with Shi Zhongkui, it would be tantamount to depriving the Jia family of the support they had been most looking forward to and had the closest relationship with over the years.

Jia Lian stood up in a hurry, but Shi Zhongkui waved his hand, "Second brother Lian, don't worry, my younger brother has already put aside his cultivation.

When my mind is no longer on this, my state of mind becomes more stable.

And after more than a year of preparation, my confidence has become several levels higher.

No matter how bad it is, the worst I can do is not make a breakthrough. Anyway, the cultivation level of those heavenly masters in this world is not as good as mine."

After hearing this, Jia Lian felt relieved.

Shi Zhongkui continued to say to Jia Lan, "You are only 8 years old at this time, and you don't even know what right and wrong are. If you really start practicing Taoism, you may be able to make rapid progress.

But the deeper you practice and your state of mind cannot keep up, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Instead of spending countless hours doing useless work, you might as well learn from me and regard reading and understanding principles as your main occupation, and practicing Taoism as a supplement.

Make a career for yourself first, and when you no longer have any worries, your mind will naturally be peaceful, which is in line with the obedience to nature advocated by monasticism."

How could Jia Lan know that? But in his heart, Shi Zhongkui was a more powerful person than his own father and grandfather.

Of course, I do what my master tells me to do.

Besides, because Li Wan was not taken seriously by Mrs. Wang, Jia Lan had already developed a precocious personality and regarded the imperial examination as his biggest goal.

When Shi Zhongkui asked him to take the imperial examination first, he spoke directly from his heart.

Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing again, he said, "Yes, Master, I will definitely remember your words."

"Very good." Shi Zhongkui, who always likes obedient children, couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Jia Lan's head.

This intimate gesture once again raised the importance of Jia Lan to a new level in the Jia family's hearts.

"I'll give you a formula first. If you can't produce magic power within three days, then give up first. Focus all your attention on the county examination, government examination and court examination.

With your current knowledge, it is not difficult to pass the examination as a scholar. Even judging from the teacher's experience, there is still a 70% chance of success, not to mention nine out of ten.

When you come back as a scholar, your teacher will naturally teach you how to read and practice Taoism from time to time.

If you can't even pass the examination within ten years, I will be embarrassed to say that I am your master."

Li Wan and Jia Zheng were breathing heavily now with excitement.

The 8-year-old scholar is definitely a child prodigy.

It is even more remarkable to be a person who is less than 18 years old, and these words were said by Shi Zhongkui himself.

If Li Wan hadn't been so concerned about his identity, he would have almost knelt on the ground to thank him.

The reason why Shi Zhongkui attaches so much importance to Jia Lan is simply because he thinks that since there is Jia Rong in Ningguo Mansion, he should first cultivate a direct descendant Jia Lan in Rongguo Mansion.

If Jia Lian fails to give birth to a son in the future, Jia Lan will definitely inherit the Rongguo Mansion.

He can only inherit it.

At that time, it will mean that all the heads of the Ning and Rong houses have received his great kindness. They will listen to him no matter what they say. At least they will only follow his lead.

If Rongguo Mansion is passed on by Jia Lan and his descendants, it will be a help to his descendants in the future.

This is how the drama of recruiting disciples started in front of everyone in the Jia family.

------

A formula was passed on to Jia Lan, and this time Shi Zhongkui wanted to crush the formula and tips into pieces, explain them clearly, and pass them on to Jia Lan clearly.

He even personally used spiritual energy to clear his meridians. Even though Jialan matured prematurely, the 8-year-old child's mind was still very pure.

It is actually very easy to enter the state of trance that is rare for ascetics.

Shi Zhongkui was also very happy when he saw this.
