Chapter 437: 303, Orthodox cultivation method_3

Over a dozen students sat on chairs, their little heads swinging as they were on the verge of falling asleep.

Math instructor Zhou Xingwen looked at the students with heartache.

He stormed off to the office, fuming, “This is too much, way over the line. This is seriously disrupting the normal order of the school. With him doing this, who could stay awake for classes during the day?”

In fact, after a weekend, everyone had gradually gotten used to the existence of Qing Chen.

After all, although the new instructor was domineering, he hadn’t taken over anyone else’s classes, and with only two combat sessions a week, everyone could bear with it and get through.

However, now Qing Chen had indeed not taken any classes from other instructors, but he had actually increased the total duration of the classes.

…

This was like forcefully adding an extra session to his daily schedule!

Now, while other instructors were still vying for time slots within the original curriculum plan, Qing Chen had carved his own path by adding so many class hours!

The key issue was that Qing Chen ran the kids ragged early in the morning, leaving them with no energy for their day classes!

…

…

At 10 a.m., unaware of these matters, Qing Chen leisurely headed toward Dragon Lake with a small stool in tow.

An old man who had been sitting on the broken bridge since who knows when, heard his footsteps and said irritably, “Look at the fine mess you’ve made. There were dozens of calls to the Secretariat just this morning to complain, you’ve turned the whole Mid-Mountain Estate upside down!”

“Ah?” Qing Chen paused, placing his small stool next to the old man, “What happened?”

“Was it you who had Li Ke take the students for a run?” the old man asked coldly.

“Yeah,” Qing Chen answered nonchalantly, “Just look at those Li Family youngsters, every one of them so frail, and there are two chubby ones who are nearly losing sight of their own eyes because of the fat. Only by sticking to exercise can they strengthen from within, such that the hormones secreted by your body will keep you optimistic and cheerful.”

The old man was speechless for a while, “Does it need to be so early? I heard that Li Ke got up at 6 a.m.!”

“I requested six,” Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “He probably anticipated that the students wouldn’t listen to him, so he got up early to allow some time to get everyone out of bed.”

“There have already been instructors at the school who have complained about you together, saying you’re disrupting the normal teaching order,” the old man spoke.

“They’ll get used to the rhythm,” replied Qing Chen as if it were no big deal, “Everyone will feel tired at first, but when their health improves, they’ll be more spirited during the day. Old man, they might not understand this logic, but you should, right? By the way, how did the Secretariat respond to them?”

The old man was silent for a few seconds, “The Secretariat didn’t respond.”

No response was a response in itself—the Secretariat’s stance was simple: we’re not getting involved with the affairs of Li’s School.

Qing Chen chuckled, “See, only when I get these kids in line can I continue to teach them new things, such as that little booklet you gave me.”

The old man’s eyes brightened, “Did you really decipher it?”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen nodded, “It’s indeed a treasure. It doesn’t have side effects like those of the Fierce Tiger Sect, and it doesn’t require losing anything. It should be considered a rather orthodox method of cultivation.”

He had roughly come to understand the methods of cultivation in the Inner World; the big shots divided cultivation into orthodox and unorthodox.

Unorthodox cultivation meant practicing without the aid of Breathing Techniques, resulting in certain costs and side effects, with a lower upper limit.

Orthodox cultivation, however, meant practicing with the aid of Breathing Techniques, leading to a balanced and harmonious path with no side effects.

Thus, the difference between orthodox and unorthodox lay in the Breathing Techniques. Not only the Breathing Techniques of the Federation and the Knights, but some true cultivators also mastered other Breathing Techniques.

This gave Qing Chen the impression that Breathing Techniques were similar to the ‘inner breathing’ from novels of the Outer World, where mastering inner breathing could advance one to the high mastership of the Innate Realm, whereas without it, one could only remain a layman outside of the Acquired Realm…

The old man wondered, “How can a heretical organization possess such an orthodox method of cultivation?”

“Of course,” Qing Chen said, “The tool is in the hands of the user; what a person becomes has no necessary relation to the method of cultivation.”

“What’s the highest level it can promise?” the old man inquired.

Qing Chen looked at him, “I can only promise up to B-Class for now, the rest is all up to fate. And one more thing, old man, I’m not teaching just anyone. If someone can’t even keep up with running, then it’s best they settle for being a wealthy tycoon early on. Holding power isn’t necessarily a good thing for them, and you understand this better than I do.”

“Can lifespan be extended by twenty years?” the old man asked.

Qing Chen finally understood what the old man wanted, “Extending it by twenty years is not a problem. Reaching B-Class can extend it by forty years.”

Unorthodox cultivation not only didn’t extend lifespan but could even be detrimental to one’s health, leading to a shorter life.

Qing Chen curiously asked, “Do you care a lot about lifespan?”

The old man said, “I don’t care for myself, but for a consortium hoping for a stable foundation, a longer lifespan means a more enduring legacy. Though this isn’t absolute, standing in the Federation means constantly seeking innovation to cope with the changes of the world.”

“Understood,” Qing Chen nodded, “You hope the power transition within the Li Family would be smoother and more stable.”

The old man smiled, “Not just that, the situation is quite complex. You’ll understand in the future.”

Sitting on the broken bridge, the old man pondered for a moment before suddenly instructing, “Get the Secretariat to annotate the complaints from the students’ parents, instructing them all to follow the school’s arrangements, and issue this directive in the Boss’s name.”

The so-called Boss was the old man’s eldest son, Li Ke’s biological father.

Qing Chen looked around, “Who are you talking to?”

The previous statement was obviously not directed at him, which meant there was a master nearby, one that even Qing Chen was unable to detect.
