In the golden autumn season, under the blazing sun, the entire Thunder Continent was enveloped in the heat. The earthy yellow ground shimmered with rising heat waves, and passersby hurried along, unwilling to linger too long under the scorching sun. Only the tireless cicadas continued to chirp incessantly, adding to people's annoyance.
Inside a courtyard of Xuan County, Beifeng City, Xuan Lei Sect
This courtyard was vast, considered extremely luxurious even among the surrounding buildings. The intricately carved walls and pathways, the cleverly structured rockeries and ponds, along with the luxurious and exquisite furniture, made it seem that every corner of this courtyard was a result of careful design.
At this moment, however, there were only two people in this large courtyard.
An elderly man in white stood quietly before the pond, hands clasped behind his back. His eyes gazed calmly ahead, appearing like a leisurely old man, yet an astonishing aura slowly emanated from him.
Behind this elder stood a young man dressed in a blue outfit. His long black hair fell to his shoulders, and his robust body stood straight like an immovable statue. Only his black eyes occasionally flashed with a strange Purple Radiance, making him particularly striking.
These two individuals were none other than Elder Li of the Xuan Lei Sect's Outer Sect and Sun Zhe, who had recently joined the Xuan Lei Sect. Moreover, Sun Zhe had already been accepted as a registered disciple by Elder Li. For someone like Sun Zhe, who had no background, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
"Sun Zhe, what do you think of this courtyard?" Elder Li asked slowly after a moment of silence.
Sun Zhe was slightly taken aback, unsure of Elder Li's intention with the question. However, with memories from two lifetimes, he quickly formed his own judgment.
"This courtyard is luxurious and extravagant; it must rank among the top ten in this vast Beifeng City. The wood used for this courtyard is top-grade purple huang wood, and the flooring is made of exceptionally hard blue iron rock. Coupled with its exquisite design and scenic features like rockeries and ponds, it exudes both luxury and elegance. Master, this courtyard is truly remarkable."
"Ha ha, not bad, not bad. I indeed did not misjudge; you are certainly not an ordinary young person. Just this assessment shows that your knowledge is exceptional," Elder Li replied with a smile as he turned to Sun Zhe. His pleased expression indicated that he genuinely cared about this courtyard.
"In my life, aside from cultivation, what I value most is my living space. I have put considerable thought into this courtyard; I spent no less than one hundred thousand taels of silver on it. For you to be able to come up with such a sum at once is already quite impressive."
Regarding the praise from Elder Li, Sun Zhe did not pay much attention to it.
After a moment of silence, Elder Li slowly took two steps forward and said lightly, "In the past few days, I had Hu Lei help you familiarize yourself with the Xuan Lei Sect. How do you feel now?"
"Hu Lei has indeed explained a lot to me these past few days, and I have a general understanding of the structure of the Xuan Lei Sect. However..." At this point, Sun Zhe paused.
"What is it?" Seeing Sun Zhe's hesitance, Elder Li couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Although Senior Brother Hu Lei has told me many things, most of what he discussed were the rules and common knowledge of the Xuan Lei Sect. He did not mention anything about cultivation, so I still have a vague understanding of cultivation. I hope Master can provide some guidance," Sun Zhe decided to voice his doubts outright.
"Heh heh, this is not entirely Hu Lei's fault; these are the sect's regulations. Well, since you are so eager, I will explain a few things to you first so that you have a general understanding and can have a goal and direction for your future cultivation." At this point, Elder Li's expression became serious.
"There are many paths in cultivation; the saying 'there are three thousand great roads' reflects this idea. Our Thunder Cultivation is merely one of those paths, and we cultivate the Thunder Power between the earth."
"As you understand, not everyone can become a Cultivator; it requires a certain Qualification. This Qualification refers to one's ability to attract Earth Power. If the attraction level is too low, one cannot complete the most basic foundation building and cannot retain Earth Power within their body, thus they cannot become a Cultivator."
Sun Zhe nodded slightly, suddenly realizing that the so-called Qualification refers to the ability to attract Earth Power. A high attraction level indicates good Qualification, while a low attraction level indicates poor Qualification. His body was formed from thunder, so his ability to attract Thunder Power was naturally unmatched by ordinary people.
"As long as your Qualification meets the basic requirements, you can use a Foundation Pill to complete the foundational building and thus become a low-level one-star Thunderer. Of course, with your Qualification at eighty-nine points, you can easily succeed in foundation building without using a Foundation Pill." At this point, even Elder Li couldn't help but show a hint of envy. Although Qualification does not completely determine one's future, it greatly influences how far a Cultivator can reach. Sun Zhe's Qualification was undoubtedly among the top tier.
"How is the strength of Thunder Cultivators classified?" Sun Zhe asked Elder Li.
"Thunder Cultivators is just a general term; in reality, it is divided into seven major tiers based on strength: Thunderer, Thunder Master, Thunder Sovereign, Thunder Lord, Thunder Emperor, and Thunder Saint. Each tier is further divided into Seven Stars. Don't be misled by the tier divisions; even within the same tier, there are different star levels, and the gap in strength can be significant. For example, if a one-star Thunderer fights against a two-star Thunderer, barring any accidents, the one who will definitely win is the two-star Thunderer. Although it seems like only a one-star difference, their strengths are actually quite different."
"The division of Seven Stars within the same tier is as follows: the first two stars are called the early stage, the three-star and four-star are referred to as the mid-stage, while the five-star and six-star are considered the late stage. As for the seventh star, it represents the great perfection stage. Once you break through this great perfection, you can enter the next level and reach a new height."
...
Unknowingly, the sun gradually set in the west, and dusk descended. Time passed without notice until Elder Li finally stopped his narration.
"Alright, let's stop here for today." Looking up at the sky, Elder Li realized that it was getting late.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I am truly grateful," Sun Zhe said sincerely. He felt a sense of gratitude towards Elder Li. Although he knew that Elder Li valued his qualifications, he couldn't help but feel touched by his dedication.
"Hehe, it's no trouble. You are also my registered disciple; it's only natural for me to teach you. However, on the path of cultivation, I can only provide guidance. The real effort must come from you. If you can enter the Inner Sect, I will take you as my closed-door disciple and pass on all my knowledge to you."
With that, Elder Li no longer looked at Sun Zhe and walked directly into the house, leaving only his faint words echoing in Sun Zhe's ears.
Taking a deep breath to release his anxiety, Sun Zhe's eyes shone with determination.
