Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Control of the Yuan
f the望江城 Dao Institute. Even Lin Zhengren, himself, has never been taught it! The reason It's not suitable enoughCould this penniless wretch, a stinking stone from the outhouse, possibly be suitableLi...Another freshman participating in the Three Cities Discourse was actually a student from the previous term of the Inner Academy, barely stepping into the tail end of the freshman year. The two representatives from the third-year students were both acquaintances of Jiang Wang's: Li Jianqiu and Wang Changxiang.
The other person who was five years old, besides Zhang Linchuan, was a senior brother that Jiang Wang did not know.
Because Dao Xun is a consumable, the ranking on the Dao Xun list doesn't entirely reflect one's strength. At least on Dong A's side, there are his own standards for judgment.
Of course, this debate was still led by Zhang Linchuan. He also placed high expectations on Wei Qiji and Dong Ada to win the championship. If Zhu Wei were here, they might not have had to do this, but now that I can't find Zhu Wei, Dong Ada could only focus firmly on Zhang Linchuan.
To this, Zhang Linchuan said, the pressure is great.
The San Cheng Lun Dao is scheduled to begin on October 10th. Before that, everyone, including Zhang Linchuan and Jiang Wang, will have to go through special training.

It's not about using any means to squeeze the students' potential in the short term. That's not the right path. Even if we win the current competition, what we lose is the students' future. Instead, Dong A personally gives guidance to each participant, which is a huge benefit and shows how much Dong A values them.

Master Dong would personally give a lecture every few months, and that class would always be packed. Many senior brothers who were usually out on missions would make a special trip back to the Daoist Temple that day. Jiang Wang never missed one.
But Dong A's lecture was aimed at the entire Daoist academy, so it was impossible for him to specifically cater to Jiang Wang's progress. Therefore, he found it difficult to keep up and gained little from it.

This is the third time Jiang Wang has met Dong A. Despite having met him many times before, Jiang Wang still dared not be disrespectful in his presence. He wasn't exactly tiptoeing around, but he was certainly respectful and courteous. After all, this powerful figure was known for his straightforward personality. In Xincheng, even high officials were unafraid to speak their minds directly to him. Even Wei Qiji, who usually had a sharp tongue, became somewhat uncomfortable in Dong A's presence. How could Jiang Wang, a mere student, be any different
“You’ve been cultivating for quite some time now, yet you haven't even laid a foundation” As soon as he sat down, Dong A directly asked.
Jiang Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps it's just that this disciple is dull-witted..."
Over there, Dong'a had already reached out directly, "Forget it, I'll just take a look myself."
Jiang Wang dared not resist, could only hope that Dong A would not discover his secret. Of course, if he did find out, it wouldn't be a big problem. Dao Institute students and the dean had a master-disciple relationship, and in the future Zhuang Guo officialdom, they would also be seen as one entity. In essence, they rise and fall together. As long as there was no fundamental issue, Dong A would not do anything to him.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Gate serves as both a barrier and a veil. Before it is opened, what lies hidden within the Heavenly Palace is not easily discernible. Unless Dong A personally intervenes, charging through Jiang Wang's Heavenly Gate from the outside, but that would ruin Jiang Wang. Dong A would never do such a thing.
Dong A's hand just touched Jiang Wang's spine, and frowned: "Your foundation-building is already extremely slow, how did you even manage to practice both body refinement techniques"
Just like Taoism and Confucianism, these prominent schools of thought have a vast and noble bearing. They do not shy away from disciples practicing other lineages' techniques. What worries Dong A is whether Jiang Wang will be distracted and neglect his cultivation, which is the most important thing after all.
Jiang Wang replied, "Disciple has always diligently practiced pulse-churning, morning and night. However, due to my limited qi and blood, I can only practice twice a day. Therefore, I also cultivate body refining techniques in order to strengthen my qi and blood, perform more pulse-churning exercises, gather more Dao Yuan, and seek to establish a solid foundation as soon as possible."
"Twice is enough each time, Dao Yuan is not about the quantity but the control." Ultimately these are just small details, so Dong A also only nodded with a responsible attitude. He used secret techniques to feel the situation inside Jiang Wang's Tiangong Palace through his spine.
“The foundation diagram you are using is not the Yuan Zhen Diagram” Dong A suddenly asked.
Still discovered! Jiang Wang's heart felt a strange sense of relief. It was truly difficult to hide anything from someone as experienced and powerful as Dong A.
"Yes," Jiang Wang admitted honestly, "The foundation-laying array diagram used by this disciple is far more complex than the Guiyuan Array, and that's also the reason why this disciple has been unable to lay the foundation for so long."
"Nonsense!" Dong A rebuked. "There are many foundation arrays superior to the Returning Yuan Array in this world. Do you know why our Yu Jing Shan lineage still commonly uses this one Because it is stable, safe, and efficient, capable of being used securely in any sized Heavenly Palace. It's the most versatile foundation array! For something as important as laying the foundation, how could you not consult your master before making assumptions"
Jiang Wang's face flushed, and he felt ashamed. Was it still because after Fang Pengju's betrayal, he had become a startled bird Although he didn't always have paranoid thoughts of persecution, he dared not reveal his extraordinary experiences again.

In the end, he hadn't fully established that trust between a disciple and a master towards Dong A.

That day, when Dong A saw his injuries, he immediately took action to seal off the Dao Institute. That time truly moved him. But, in the past time spent with Fang Pengju, hadn't he experienced less touching moments
He was just about to tell Dong A what kind of foundation array he was using, but Dong A waved his hand: “Forget it, things have come to this, time is running out, there's no point in saying more.”

He pondered for a moment, then untied a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Jiang Wang: "This jade pendant contains a secret technique that can help you improve your control over the Dao Yuan, allowing you to complete your foundation sooner. Wearing it constantly will also have the effect of calming your mind and clarifying your thoughts. Take it."
“The disciple is terrified.” Jiang, seeing such a personal item, repeatedly refused: “This is something Master Dong loves, how can the disciple take it”
Dong rubbed the jade pendant, a hint of reminiscence appearing on his usually cold and stern face. "A gift from someone gone, now turned to dust."

He quickly returned to normal, without a doubt placing the jade pendant into Jiang Wang's hand: "This item is useless to me now. Take it. The future of the Zhuang nation is yours."
Holding the jade bi, his heart sank slightly, and a secret technique flowed through his mind, called——Controlling Yuan Jue.
Jiang Wang clenched the jade bi, performing a grand bow and falling to the ground, "Disciple thanks his master!"
Dong'a wasn't fond of the apprentice-master dynamic, and rather directly pulled Jiang Wang up, saying a few things about what to watch out for during cultivation, then waved him away.
Today, because he was going to practice with Dong A, Jiang Wang still asked Ling He to pick up Jiang An An. So he didn't have to go to the private school specially this time, but could just go straight to the dormitory.

The newly acquired secret art was significant to Jiang Wang. Now that he had achieved success in physical training, his blood and energy were abundant, allowing him to practice the Meridian Surge technique four times a day, swallowing four Dao Yuan each time. However, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation diagram became increasingly complex as it progressed. With his current mastery over Dao Yuan, every arrangement of the formation points almost drained his mental energy. In fact, this was the very reason that later hindered his rapid foundation building.
And by mastering the Yuan Controlling Decision, Jiang Wang could use minimal effort to control Dao Yuan, allowing him to arrange formations with ease and without wasting any unnecessary time or energy.
Dong A at once saw the problem and offered a solution. A word from the master was worth ten years of hard work.
Jiang Wang carefully fastened the Control Yuan Jade Bracelet to his waist, intending to never remove it for the rest of his life.
