360: Chapter 360 Those who knew the truth all chased after...

Xu Ruyu paused, his gaze sweeping over every Disciple, a faint smile on his lips: "The speed of their progress is astonishingly fast. Do you know why?"

The crowd shook their heads, their eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Xu Ruyu pointed at Leng Ningshuang and the other three, saying each word clearly: "Because they Cultivate the 'Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art'."

"This Cultivation Technique does not require you to abandon your original Cultivation Technique; it is merely a method to convert and Cultivate Spiritual Qi."

"Once you have comprehended it, you can directly absorb energy from the air, no longer needing to rely on Spirit Stone to Cultivate!"

"Did you see Zhao Yan's punch? His flames did not come from Spirit Stone, they were converted from the thermal energy in the air!"

"Did you see Ning Caihe's sword strike? His sword speed was not driven by Spiritual Power, but accelerated by the kinetic energy of the air!"

"Did you see Leng Ningshuang's ice crystal storm? Her ice did not come from ice-type Spirit Stone, but condensed from the water vapor in the air!"

"Did you see Qingyan's 'Dao of Compassionate Love'? Her illusions were not woven by Spell, but triggered by the emotional fluctuations of the human heart!"

"Golden Core, Nascent Soul—all are within reach!"

These last eight words exploded in the heart of every Disciple like a thunderclap!

Golden Core! Nascent Soul!

Within reach!

No need for Spirit Stone! No need for Heaven And Earth Treasure! You only need to comprehend this Cultivation Technique to achieve a Breakthrough!

"Sect Master! I want to learn!"

"I want to learn too!"

"Sect Master, please teach us the 'Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art'!"

The Disciples were in an uproar, surging forward, their eyes filled with longing and fanaticism.

Some even knelt down, trembling with excitement.

Xu Ruyu raised his hand, signaling for them to be quiet.

"Don't rush. I will teach this Cultivation Technique to every Hehuan Sect Disciple. But there is one prerequisite—"

He looked around and said solemnly: "Cultivating this Cultivation Technique requires you to calm your heart and contemplate deeply. It cannot be achieved overnight. Are you willing to put in this hard work?"

"We are willing!"

"We are willing!"

The Disciples shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the valley.

Xu Ruyu nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Good! Starting tomorrow, I will teach the 'Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art' in batches."

"That is all for today, everyone go back and get some rest."

"Early tomorrow morning, those who wish to learn, gather at the Martial Arts Arena."

The Disciples cheered and dispersed, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

They gathered in small groups to discuss tomorrow's Cultivate and when they might achieve a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

"If I can achieve a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, the first thing I'll do is beat up those Taihu Clan Disciples!"

"Exactly! Let them try bullying us again!"

"Our Hehuan Sect will regain its former glory sooner or later!"

The laughter and chatter gradually faded away, and Qixia Valley returned to tranquility.

Leng Ningshuang and the other three walked up to Xu Ruyu.

"Sect Master, thank you."

Leng Ningshuang said softly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

She had Cultivated for many years, stuck at the Golden Core Peak for a long time, unable to achieve a Breakthrough.

It was Xu Ruyu's 'Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art' that allowed her to break through her shackles and advance three levels in a row.

Xu Ruyu waved his hand: "What is there to thank me for? It is what you deserve. If not for your trust in me and your willingness to be the first to try, today's success would not have been possible."

Zhao Yan grinned: "Sect Master, those things you mentioned earlier—vacuum layers, air vortices, predicting sword paths... can you teach me? I want to learn too!"

Xu Ruyu smiled: "Of course. But we must take it one step at a time and lay a good foundation first."

"Your perception of the air is not yet sharp enough; after you Cultivate for a while longer, I will teach you."

Zhao Yan nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Ning Caihe rarely spoke, but he said two words: "I admire you."

Then, he bowed deeply to Xu Ruyu.

This usually arrogant Sword Cultivator was now completely convinced.

Qingyan blushed and said softly: "Sect Master Brother, Qingyan will work hard. When Qingyan is stronger, I will be able to help you more."

Xu Ruyu reached out and patted her head, smiling: "I believe in you."

Qingyan's face turned even redder. She lowered her head, but her lips curled up secretly.

In the distance, Yue Ling stood in the shadows, watching this scene quietly.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness and pride.

Taihao Clan was holding a wine jar, standing beside her, and muttered: "This kid really has some skills. But... is his Cultivation Technique really that miraculous?"

Yue Ling said softly: "Why don't you go ask and find out?"

Taihao Clan curled her lips and said nothing.

But her gaze fell on Xu Ruyu, and a flash of complexity crossed her eyes.

This young man was truly different.

The night wind blew, carrying away the laughter and the noise.

Xu Ruyu stood alone in the open space, watching the crowd disperse, a faint smile on his lips.

He knew that the Hehuan Sect's path to self-strengthening had finally taken its most crucial step.

Next, he would have more people Cultivate the 'Qi Induction and Micro-Movement Art' to make the Hehuan Sect's strength truly formidable.

As for Mo Feng and his people...

He looked up into the distance, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Let them come.

If soldiers come, block them with generals; if water comes, cover it with earth.

He, Xu Ruyu, had never been afraid of trouble.

Behind him, Yue Ling walked up to him gently and took his hand.

"Ruyu, it's time to go back and rest."

Xu Ruyu turned his head, looked into her gentle eyes, and smiled slightly.

"Alright, let's go home."
