My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

The Cangjiang Sect is a body cultivation sect.

The sect is located at the most turbulent section of the Cang River. They established their sect in such a dangerous location to use the rushing river waters to temper their bodies and practice their powerful sect technique—the "Cang River Water God Body Tempering Method."

The Cangjiang Sect was founded on the "Cang River Water God Body Tempering Method." When mastered to completion and reaching the Golden Core realm, this technique grants immense power, making one invulnerable to weapons and incredibly strong. Even splitting the Cang River becomes an effortless feat.

It's worth noting that the current Cangjiang Sect leader, Wang Fang, has split the Cang River three times, earning him great renown in North Chu Country.

Regarding body cultivation, the cultivation world has several common understandings:

First, body cultivators are thick-skinned and muscular, generally considered simple-minded and crude;

Second, body cultivators are indeed formidable in combat, with top-tier body cultivators being stronger than top-tier sword cultivators;

Third, body cultivation takes a severe toll on the body, and only those with exceptional talent and abundant resources should attempt it.

How does one strengthen the physical body?

Simple—through intense training.

One must temper the body, causing the originally weak muscles and tissues to break down, then use cultivation techniques and medicines to repair and restore the body, achieving greater strength.

This cycle repeats: training, destruction, recovery, strengthening—this is the path of body cultivation.

From this, we can see that body cultivation is indeed harsh on the body.

It's also clear that for body cultivators, medicinal pills are invaluable.

Pills can both accelerate a body cultivator's recovery from physical damage, allowing them to grow stronger and quickly begin the next round of training, and heal various internal injuries acquired during cultivation.

The Cangjiang Sect, being a body cultivation sect, desperately needs medicinal pills.

They were fortunate to receive help from the alchemists of Zhican Valley many years ago, who specially designed a pill for their founding technique—the "Water God Protection Pill."

The Water God Protection Pill enhances the effects of the "Cang River Water God Body Tempering Method," quickly repairs damage from body tempering, and eliminates internal injuries from cultivation. This fundamentally ensures that Cangjiang Sect disciples can cultivate without worry.

Since then, Cangjiang Sect disciples have used the Water God Protection Pill in their cultivation, and while their progress might not be described as advancing a thousand miles in a day, it could certainly be called advancing nine hundred and ninety-nine miles.

Thus, the Cangjiang Sect's rising fame in North Chu Country these years can be largely attributed to the Water God Protection Pill.

For them, Zhican Valley, which specially designed and refined the Water God Protection Pills, is undoubtedly like a second parent.

When Zhican Valley sent word requesting their help, the entire Cangjiang Sect immediately stirred with excitement.

Repaying kindness is what a true man does; failing to repay kindness is what beasts do!

Whatever Zhican Valley needed, the Cangjiang Sect would help even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

Sect Leader Wang Fang immediately gathered twenty powerful cultivators: five Golden Core disciples and fifteen Foundation Establishment disciples. They would depart immediately for Zhican Valley to lend their aid. ř

Li Yi, a core disciple of the Cangjiang Sect, had been with the sect for over thirty years. He had personally witnessed the sect's transformation before and after receiving the Water God Protection Pills.

Before obtaining the Water God Protection Pills, the Cangjiang Sect was merely a minor sect barely surviving and at risk of extinction. After obtaining the pills, in just over ten years, they rose to become a renowned sect in North Chu Country, full of vitality and potential for further growth.

Li Yi's talent for body cultivation was exceptional. Even without the Water God Protection Pills, he reached Foundation Establishment in just five years.

However, that would have been his limit. He would have struggled to break through to Golden Core during his prime years. For a body cultivator, failing to reach Golden Core during one's physical peak usually meant never achieving it at all.

Fortunately, they received help from the masters of Zhican Valley, who refined the Water God Protection Pills for them.

After beginning to take the Water God Protection Pills, Li Yi's cultivation speed became incomparable to before. While it had taken him five years to reach Foundation Establishment, he achieved Golden Core in just ten years.

Now, he was on the verge of reaching mid-stage Golden Core, perhaps needing just a few more years to achieve it.

Without exaggeration, everything he had now was thanks to those Water God Protection Pills.

Li Yi knew he wasn't particularly clever, and his cultivation level was nothing compared to Zhican Valley, but he thought that at least he had strength and his life to offer. Now that Zhican Valley needed help, he would contribute whatever he could.

The moment the sect leader announced this news, he rushed to the leader's cave dwelling, determined to go to Zhican Valley.

However, when he arrived, he found many other disciples had already gathered there, all equally excited and determined to help Zhican Valley.

Li Yi worried that he had arrived too late and wouldn't be chosen by the sect leader, unable to repay Zhican Valley's kindness.

However, he was fortunate, blessed by the Water God, and was chosen by the sect leader as one of the five Golden Core cultivators to travel to Zhican Valley.

After selecting the team, Sect Leader Wang Fang piloted their sect treasure, the Cangjiang Cloud Boat, to take them to Zhican Valley.

"Sect Leader..." aboard the cloud boat, Li Yi asked Wang Fang, "Our Cangjiang Sect has over ten Golden Core cultivators, why not bring more to Zhican Valley?"

Wang Fang, focused on controlling the cloud boat, glanced at Li Yi and countered, "If we bring everyone to Zhican Valley, what about our own sect?"

He continued, "I am our sect's only Nascent Soul cultivator, and I'm going. Adding you all makes up most of our sect's strength. This is enough to repay Zhican Valley's kindness."

Li Yi heard this and looked at Wang Fang, wanting to speak but holding back.

He felt it wasn't enough.

He thought the sect leader was being too mercenary. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring—given Zhican Valley's help to the Cangjiang Sect, what would be wrong with offering their entire sect's strength? How could they haggle like petty merchants?

But he ultimately kept these thoughts to himself.

A newly promoted core disciple approached Li Yi and said, "Senior Brother, I heard that this time Zhican Valley is going to war with the Dao Sword Sect and Boundless Sword Sect..."

He hesitated, then continued, "The Dao Sword Sect and Boundless Sword Sect are such major sects—should we really go to war with them?"

Li Yi felt indignant hearing this, thinking the new disciples were too ignorant.

He couldn't understand what the younger generation was thinking, unable to distinguish between friends and enemies, showing no sense of righteousness.

The Dao Sword Sect and Boundless Sword Sect sat high above others, wielding their power arbitrarily and taking most of North Chu Country's cultivation resources—had they ever looked down to help others?

Only Zhican Valley, who cared about lower-ranked cultivators, would help small sects like them.

It was clear as day who was friend and who was foe.

Such ignorance!

Li Yi coldly looked at this disciple.

Zhican Valley had been refining pills for the Cangjiang Sect for so many years—had they ever asked anything in return?! Now they only needed the Cangjiang Sect to contribute some effort...

"What's so special about the Dao Sword Sect?" he said coldly. "They're just Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators, are they any stronger than you and me? Body cultivators are invincible at the same realm—the higher you go, the clearer you'll see this."

He continued lecturing, "As body cultivators, we should be fearless and charge forward. How can you be so timid and afraid?"

"I'm not afraid..." the disciple explained, despite Li Yi's pressure.

"I'm just thinking, what if the Dao Sword Sect still exists after the war? What if the major sects suddenly reconcile—what will happen to small sects like us?

"Suddenly making enemies of two major sects, in the future in North Chu Country, I fear..."

"Think? Why spend all day thinking about such useless things? Is that what you should be thinking about? Instead of thinking about these things, why not think about how to practice body cultivation and improve? You don't think about cultivation techniques and divine abilities, but focus on all these irrelevant matters!"

Li Yi scolded, "Zhican Valley has shown great kindness to our Cangjiang Sect. The Water God Protection Pills you take every day are refined by Zhican Valley for our sect. What does it matter if we offend two major sects?!"

"..."

The disciple looked at Li Yi, not knowing what to say—after all, the Cangjiang Sect had paid spirit stones to Zhican Valley—he could only turn away and go to the edge of the cloud boat to look at the scenery.

"Today's disciples are getting worse with each generation, their character is concerning. If the Cangjiang Sect has to rely on them in the future..." Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "The Cangjiang Sect will be doomed!"

Wang Fang ignored Li Yi and turned to look at the disciples standing by the cloud boat, committing their faces to memory. It was rare to find people who used their brains in a body cultivation sect like theirs - these ones would need special attention for future development.

The Cangjiang Sect wasn't too far from Zhican Valley, about half the distance across North Chu Country. Unlike the Pure Sword Mountain sect who relied solely on flying, they had their cloud boat. Without any incidents along the way, they managed to arrive at Zhican Valley before nightfall.

At the entrance of Zhican Valley, elders were specifically assigned to receive these small sects who had come to help.

Wang Fang stepped forward and exchanged humble pleasantries, then followed a Zhican Valley disciple into the valley.

Just as they passed through the valley's protective formation, another small sect arrived behind them.

Wang Fang glanced back and, listening to the exchanges between the valley elder and the newcomers, learned that they were the Beast Taming Spirit Sect from Xuanqin Country.

After their greetings, the Beast Taming Spirit Sect didn't immediately enter but continued discussing something with the elder.

Wang Fang only caught fragments of their conversation - words like "corpse," "ambush," and "unknown forces."

But he couldn't hear more to guess the full context.

The Cangjiang Sect group passed through the protective formation and arrived at the valley's observation platform, where they could take in the full view of Zhican Valley's beauty. The valley's splendor needed no elaborate description - anyone visiting for the first time couldn't help but be amazed. The Cangjiang Sect members were no exception.

After waiting for their amazement to subside, their guide spoke up: "Given the large number of visitors these past two days, there are some rules we need to explain in advance. This will help you avoid unnecessary punishment.

"First, flying is prohibited within the valley;

"Second, large-scale destructive spells and divine abilities are forbidden;

"Third, no wandering around the valley, especially in restricted areas - many places are dangerous;

"Fourth, daily food and medicinal pills are distributed at the dining hall at fixed times - no late collections;

"Fifth, standby for battle preparation notifications..."

He listed over ten rules, impressing the Cangjiang Sect members with his memory.

After he finished, Wang Fang smiled and said, "Major sects have many rules, I understand. I will ensure our disciples comply."

"Good that you understand." The guide was satisfied with his sensible attitude. He nodded, flew down into the valley, and said, "Come, I'll show you to your quarters."

The Golden Core cultivators from Cangjiang Sect each carried several Foundation Building disciples who couldn't fly, creating a somewhat ungraceful scene. When they landed on the valley path, they could hear mocking laughter from the spiritual herb fields on both sides.

Everyone's faces reddened slightly.

"Are you a body cultivation sect?" the guide asked as he led the way.

"Yes," Wang Fang replied, "You have good eyes, young friend."

"What good eyes? When Foundation Building cultivators can't fly, they must be body cultivators," the guide laughed.

"I know you use your spiritual energy to strengthen your physical bodies, leaving little in your spiritual sea, so you can't use most cultivators' spells. There are few flying spells suitable for you.

"I'll report your situation to the higher-ups. They might grant you one or two flying spells suited to your needs."

Hearing this, Wang Fang's eyes lit up. Despite being a sect leader and Nascent Soul cultivator, he bowed to this young guide: "Many thanks, young friend."

"No need for thanks, it's for everyone's benefit," the guide waved dismissively.

Wang Fang chatted with the guide as they walked deeper into Zhican Valley, encountering many disciples from other sects along the way, some familiar and others unknown. There were certainly many people around.

The valley was quite lively, more like a marketplace than a pre-war military camp.

Soon, the Cangjiang Sect group arrived at their assigned quarters - two small courtyards. Though it was somewhat cramped for their group of twenty-one, they accepted it given the special circumstances.

Wang Fang arranged accommodations for all disciples and settled down in Zhican Valley, quietly awaiting the start of the war.
