In the Golden Sword Hall, six rows of seat mats have been arranged, with each row seating four individuals. This meant that the total number of people coming to listen to Gold Sword Zen Ren e s lecture was twenty-four.

Among Gold Sword Zen Ren t s direct disciples currently, only three, including him, are in the Qi Refinement Realm. The rest should all be excellent disciples under the tutelage of other older brothers.

Lin Yi was seated in the third seat of the fifth row. By this time, over ten disciples had already arrived, most of whom were seated at the frontmost.

Xie Jing Xing and another direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren, in particular, were both seated in the first row, resembling the top students in school who take their studies seriously.

However, all the rows after the second one have been filled up. Only the first row had two vacant seats, and it seems that no one dares to occupy them.

Some disciples nearby, upon noticing Lin Yi unintentionally, suddenly realized that there was still someone sitting here. He seemed unobtrusive and was easy to overlook.

The disciple nearest to them only remembered after some thought and then exclaimed in surprise, “Uncle Master Lin, why don’t you sit up front?”

Lin Yi smiled. The title of Path of Survivor reduced his presence by 20%, and coupled with the Concealing Breath Technique, it made him practically invisible to these Qi Refining Cultivators.

He waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, you guys go ahead. I get more chances to learn, so 1 won’t snatch the front seats from you guys.”

He had now reached the Foundation Building Realm. This event was merely a token gesture. In the Outer Sect, including his time after he entered the Inner Sect, he seldom attended the lectures within the sect. Including this time, he hasn’t even been to ten of them.

He possessed the title [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], which bestowed a powerful advantage, providing the opportunity for enlightenment in the wake of failure. Therefore, listening to other people’s lectures didn’t seem that important to him.

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, the surrounding disciples couldn’t help but show their respect. This Uncle Master Lin had always been low-profile, and even after returning from the Secret Realm and being taken in as a direct disciple by the Master of Golden Sword Faction, he still maintained a humble demeanor.

Unlike other direct disciples, who were flamboyant and formed their own cliques, Lin Yi preferred to keep a low profile, behaving like a devout cultivator.

After a while, almost all of the disciples who came to attend the lecture had already arrived. Only two disciples had no seats, and they didn’t dare to sit on the seat mats in the frontmost row.

Zhou Yun Feng, upon standing up and looking around, spotted Lin Yi sitting in the second to the last row. He couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. This junior brother was truly humble and cautious.

Instead of asking Lin Yi to switch seats, he turned to the two seatless disciples and said, “You two should sit in the front.’

“Thank you, Elder Uncle.” The two disciples quickly bowed and then seated themselves at the frontmost vacant slots.

Subsequently, Zhou Yun Feng took the stage at the front and said solemnly, “Today, our Master is lecturing, so everyone should listen attentively and refrain from making noise.”

Soon after, a golden light flashed and the figure of Gold Sword Zen Ren appeared on the lecture podium upfront. All the disciples bow in salute, “Disciples warmly welcome Master’s arrival.”

Gold Sword Zen Ren waived slightly, “You may be seated.”

The twenty or so disciples all sat cross-legged on their seat mats, watching Gold Sword Zen Ren on the platform seriously. Some of them were shaking slightly, filled with excitement.

It was extremely rare for Golden Core Real Person to deliver a lecture. Aside from his direct disciples, offering lectures to other disciples was entirely down to chance.

Gold Sword Zen Ren sat on the lecture podium, looking around below. After scouring the entire assembly, he finally located Lin Yi and chuckled to himself.

“Since most of you are at the Perfect Qi Refining Stage, today’s lecture will focus on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.” He said calmly.

At these words, some of the disciples inevitably cast their gazes at Lin Yi. Among the twenty-four disciples present to listen to the lecture, only this fortunate Farming Disciple Lin Yi had not reached the Perfect Qi Refining Stage.

“The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Initially, one cultivates with the energy of nature, but in the later stages, one attunes to the ways of nature, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, communicating with nature, and pondering the principles of the Great Dao…”

“Qi refinement is not the starting point of the cultivation journey; rather, it is the realm to cross before reaching the true starting point. Only upon reaching the Foundation Building Realm can one be considered a true cultivator…”

Gold Sword Zen Ren gave a simple explanation about some knowledge related to breaking through the Foundation Building Realm from Qi Refinement. His voice was calm, and his words were easy to understand. After listening, one could digest and comprehend them directly.

Unlike some other Cultivators in the Foundation Building and Qi Refinement Realm who often speak in vague parlance that leaves people mystified, sometimes to the point of incomprehension.

This is much like some martial arts manuals or cultivation techniques that intentionally employ abstruse language, requiring a master to specifically interpret and explain, allowing one to understand. This is the tradition of the impartation of knowledge being selective.

Although Lin Yi had already reached the Foundation Building Realm, he was still attentive to the lecture and found it to be somewhat helpful.

Moreover, the words of Gold Sword Zen Ren seemed to have a magical power that allowed people to immerse themselves completely, contemplating the principles contained within.

An hour later, the lecture was over. At this point, a disciple in the Perfect Qi Refining Stage had an enlightenment on the spot, showing signs of breaking through to the Foundation Building Realm.

The surrounding disciples all revealed an envious look, a lecture from Golden

Core Real Person that enabled someone to reach the point of Foundation Establishment — this level of understanding was simply too profound..
