Chapter 10
Ninth-Rank Cultivation is Easy, Grandmaster is Hard to Attain!

That’s it!

In the following days, Chu Yuan also added teaching and receiving evaluations to his daily routine.

Gradually!

He found that his current life was extremely fulfilling.

He would teach during the day and return home in the evening.

At night, he would cultivate or read, and if he needed anything, he would occasionally go to the grocery store to buy some things, his schedule was packed.

To be honest!

If not for the upcoming Spring Examination next year, Chu Yuan would have wanted to maintain this peaceful life forever.

He would have wanted to develop steadily for a few years.

By then, he would be at least a Ninth Rank Upper level, wouldn't he!?

At that time, he wouldn't be invincible…

But he would at least have the confidence to establish himself in the world, and by then, it wouldn’t matter if he chose a career in the government or not.

In this world!

Ninth Rank is easy to cultivate, but becoming a Grandmaster is difficult!

This is common knowledge.

After all, there are countless martial artists in the world, and those who can cultivate to become Grandmasters are absolutely rare.

This process involves countless twists and turns, hardship, and even specific opportunities...

Without any one of them, it's unlikely that one could cultivate to become a Grandmaster.

At most!

One could only reach Ninth Rank. Ninth Rank and Grandmaster are worlds apart.

To be honest.

For every Grandmaster that exists, effort and talent only account for one-tenth.

The remaining nine-tenths lie in cultivation methods and opportunities!

But Chu Yuan is different!

As a schoolteacher, although he doesn't go out and doesn't have any opportunities falling into his hands.

However, he has the system’s cheat.

Various rewards, various martial arts secret manuals, are the greatest source of opportunity creation.

Therefore!

With Chu Yuan's conditions, even if he just immersed himself for a few years, teaching for three or five years…

He might be able to reach a level beyond Ninth Rank!

……

……

This day!

Chu Yuan didn’t take Ye Xiao and Ye Ruo Ruo out.

At this moment, Chu Yuan casually wrote down a few words and placed them in front of Ye Xiao and Ye Ruo Ruo, letting them practice calligraphy.

I have to say!

This kid Ye Xiao is good at everything, but his calligraphy is as bad as a dog’s scribbles…

Therefore.

Chu Yuan decided to correct his flaw!

After all!

If he were to go out and talk about it in the future, it wouldn't just be embarrassing for Ye Xiao, but also for him as a teacher, it would be embarrassing too.

In Chu Yuan's previous life, there were often rumors like who who who's math was taught by a gym teacher…

This kind of blame, Chu Yuan naturally didn’t want to bear.

As you can see—

In front of the two kids, the characters written by Chu Yuan were laid out.

It must be said that it's no wonder Chu Yuan was able to pass the Juren exam at such a young age.

His calligraphy is incredibly skilled!

His previous life’s experiences, and his practice in this life, have clearly allowed his calligraphy to develop a style of its own, with an air of mastery.

In fact!

His Tongsheng Exam and Xiangshi Exam, this calligraphy was also a great plus.

“Teacher, I’m still young!”

Ye Xiao blinked his eyes, showing a childlike innocent smile, trying to avoid practicing.

“It’s alright!”

Chu Yuan glanced at him and said with a faint smile.

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up: “Really!”

Chu Yuan: “Stay at the mansion tomorrow, I’ll take Ruo Ruo out for a stroll.”

Ye Xiao…

——————————

With no choice!

Ye Xiao could only pick up his pen and reluctantly practice calligraphy.

Not long after!

One crooked and distorted character after another appeared on the paper.

They were ugly, abstract, and unique!

However, Chu Yuan seemed to know how he wrote, and he didn’t say anything, instead he changed the topic and said: “Do you know what ‘calligraphy reflects character’ means?”

Ye Xiao was stunned!

He thought Chu Yuan was going to scold him, but now it seems not?

At this moment!

Chu Yuan’s voice sounded again:

“So-called ‘calligraphy reflects character’ is that everyone can see through a person's temperament and character from their calligraphy, from their writing habits.”

“Your calligraphy, even if you write out incredibly amazing articles, you’ll probably lose three points in the beginning!”

Hearing Chu Yuan’s words!

Even Ye Xiao, who was usually rather carefree, couldn’t help but lower his head in embarrassment.

After all!

He’s going to be a writer in the future, and his calligraphy is a bit embarrassing.

“Teacher!”

“It’s not that I don’t want to practice calligraphy, it’s that I’m still young…” Ye Xiao tried to argue.

Chu Yuan smiled!

He didn’t bother refuting Ye Xiao, and just watched him argue silently.

Finally!

Little Ye Xiao backed down and stopped talking.

At this time.

Chu Yuan calmly said: “Calligraphy reflects character, by looking at the calligraphy you can look at the person!”

“Some people’s calligraphy is grand, incredibly decisive and forceful, or their strokes are very firm and the turns are strong and powerful…”

“Then, they must be a person with a bold personality, who dares to do and dares to be, a kind of person.”

“On the other hand, some people’s calligraphy is orderly, square and straight, then they are a more rigorous type of person!”

“Looking at calligraphy is like looking at a person, you can see their personality from their calligraphy!”

“As well as other characteristics.”

……

……

Hearing this!

Ye Ruo Ruo’s small head was looking confused, she didn’t quite understand.

Ye Xiao, after listening, was lost in thought!

“What about you?”

“Do you want people to see through your calligraphy that you’re a person with inconsistent literary talent and personality?”

This time, Ye Xiao didn’t have any other resistance.

He started practicing calligraphy seriously!

Afterward.

After this little interlude, the rest of the classes went smoothly.

【Teaching Completed】

【Evaluation: A+】

【Reward Obtained: Twelve Talismans - Dog Talisman】

This time, the reward wasn’t money, nor was it True Qi, or a cultivation technique.

It was an item!?

The next moment!

Chu Yuan’s hand indeed held an item.

Upon closer inspection, it was a metallic color, with a bright light, and there was a mysterious talisman, vaguely visible, with the shape of a dog!

As Chu Yuan stared at it!

Information about this item appeared in his mind instantly.

【Dog Talisman: The immortal dog can make the holder eternally young.】
