Those with meager resources can only endure the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing their cultivation progress to be much slower than others.A spiritual eye is a place where spiritual e...Yulan tidied her emotions, "Have you seen the Master"
He corresponded with Chen Zhenqing and would report on the school's situation to him at intervals.
Here is the translation of your provided text:

Chen Zhenqing would also talk about his recent situation.
After passing the imperial examinations, Chen Zhenqing requested to be assigned as a county magistrate in a remote border region. He claimed he had no outstanding achievements or shortcomings. Although he had been promoted, he still chose to remain on the frontier.
Tao Teng shook his head and said, "You know Master's talent and virtue better than I do. When it came to being a counselor for the Crown Prince, the first person I recommended was Master, hoping that the Crown Prince could secretly work things out and bring Master into the capital to serve as an official. That's when I learned that Master's teacher, before retiring, had also invited Master to enter the capital. Such a good opportunity was rejected by Master."
Yulang sighed softly, “Before going to the capital for the imperial examination, my husband went up the mountain to visit his master and raised his cup in a toast of determination...”
>
He recounted his aspirations to Tao Teng.
Tao Teng was full of admiration, but also some worry. "Master's aspirations are lofty, which means his wife and the others will suffer."
When an official in the Yan state was promoted, his family could accompany him.
Back then, the mistress treated them very well. The students in the academy respected the mistress and master equally.
"Before leaving, my senior sister and I gave the Master a jade pendant to regulate his and his family's health. Since the Master is willing to do this, we shouldn't disturb him. The prince's side would certainly not lack assistants," Yu Lang shook his head.
The Crown Prince naturally has no shortage of manpower, but there are factions within his ranks holding different political views. Now they are working together to help the Crown Prince achieve his goal of ascending the throne. Once he succeeds, they will likely start fighting among themselves. Even now, there are various forms of open and covert struggles. As someone who has just joined recently with a weak foundation, I have no power to wield and no one to command. Many times, I want to act but am powerless.
Tao Teng spoke of his own circumstances, a face full of distress, and suddenly his tone changed, “Brother, you’re living through such hardship, don't you recommend a few big talents to me”
“Are you talking about my students”
Yu Lang was amused and surprised, "A tiny county like Jinxian, with nothing but village schools, how many great talents can it possibly produce Even if I knew their personalities back then, after years of navigating the treacherous waters of court life, who knows how much of their original integrity they still possess"
At this point, Yulan couldn't help but think of himself again. He sighed inwardly and picked up the pen on his desk. "If you want to go see her, I'll help you write a few letters."
Tao Teng immediately stepped forward and personally ground the ink for him, chuckling and saying, “I wouldn’t doubt my own student, would I”
He soon finished a stack of thick letters.
Tao Teng held it in his hand, weighed it, and his lips moved slightly. He couldn't help but say: "You really can't tell, who I truly came here to invite this time"
Yulǎng looked up and met Tàn Rán and Tāo Téng's gaze, "Do you want me to go down the mountain with you"
"Not bad!"
Here is the translation:

Tao Tengchong stressed, "As for the City God's Temple, I will take care of it. You don't have to worry. Remember back then, when we were sitting by the stone cliff outside Qingyang Guan, you mentioned your aspirations. At the time, I didn't understand them, but now I do. You want the mountain people to return to the mountains, free from earthly influence. But you don't even understand the human world, how can you talk about anything else This time, consider it the first step towards fulfilling your ambitions!"
Tao Teng tightly grasped Yu Lang's hand and said earnestly, "You and I, brothers united, striving for self-improvement and governing with diligence, will restore the Yan Kingdom to its former glory!"
Tao Teng looked at Yu Lang with anticipation, his voice filled with passion.
He believes in Yulang's abilities. Even without a shred of cultivation, he is far from ordinary.
The two of them, one cultivating their foundation, the other refining their qi.
To change the whole world is a futile dream. But to change the state of Yan, that is possible.
Yulang withdrew his hand and paced to the bedside, gazing out the window.
Tao Teng quietly looked at Yu Lang, awaiting his decision.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This window faces west, while Yu Lang looks north, towards the direction of Qingyangguan and the former Yan capital.
Yulan's eyes flickered, he couldn't deny it, he was moved.
Over the years, he traveled daily between the academy and the Taoist temple, never neglecting his studies for cultivation, nor his cultivation for academics.
He spent a fortune, purchasing books from all over the place, and then read them with ravenous appetite.
Not only from the state of Yan, but also from other states, books were delivered to Jinshi County through various channels.
He had several pouches, the size of mustard seeds, used to store various kinds of books. If he were to take them all out, I'm afraid they would fill up the Qingyang Temple.
Learning without thinking leads to confusion.
Reading naturally involves summarizing and thinking, but he has always been confined to Qiliang Village and had almost no opportunity to put his learning into practice.
If he always practiced on the mountain, he would probably never have a chance to use his skills.
As Tao Teng said well, without practice, everything is just talk.
At least, one should understand what the world is like.
Otherwise, if he truly did it, made the mountain people go back to the mountains, then what Would the world become better

When Jade Lan posed those questions before his master, he didn't realize how grand the proposition was or how naive he was.
The difficulty of solving these problems is probably no less than that of becoming an immortal.
After much deliberation, Yulan shook her head in the face of Tao Teng's disappointed gaze.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He turned, meeting Tao Teng’s gaze, and smiled. “Do you think I’m worried about my cultivation being affected, that I'm cowardly I suddenly feel like my heart is lacking. I should go into seclusion for a while. As for the Daoist temple and academy, they are the fruits of Master and Teacher Husband’s hard work, they cannot be neglected. Before I leave, I need to make proper arrangements…”
Tao Teng's eyes gleamed brighter and brighter, "You agreed!"
“I will ask my master for permission to go down the mountain.”
Yu Lang nodded, his expression resolute, "Where are you going next"
“I request permission from the Crown Prince to travel on his behalf to Yan Kingdom to understand the people's sentiments. Then, I will visit each state and province before returning to the capital to report my findings. After you descend the mountain, go directly to the Tao family in the capital city. I will make the necessary arrangements. If you find the world too chaotic, you can also stay at Du Xian Guan outside the capital city first.”
Tao Teng had already made meticulous arrangements.
"To truly experience the world, one must embrace its chaos."
Yu Lang smiled and looked at the sky. Unknowingly, it was already evening.

Why don't you stay at the Taoist temple tonight

“No, under so many eyes, I can't use the flying shuttle. I can only ride horses and boats, which is too slow and the schedule is too tight! With your promise, I feel relieved. We will meet again in the capital city!”
Tao Teng was beaming, the harvest of this trip far exceeding expectations.
"Well then, may we have many more days to come!"
Yu Lang did not try to persuade him to stay, and personally escorted Tao Teng out of the bamboo forest.
Tao Teng leaped onto his horse, bowed to Yu Lang, flicked his whip, and rode away with his entourage.
Yu Lang turned around, but saw Xiao Wu standing behind him at some point, "Senior Sister"
"Are you going down the mountain" Xiao Wu asked.
Yulan knew that his conversation with Taotong couldn't be kept from his senior sister, and it was no surprise. "Would Senior Sister like to visit the capital"
Over the years, Xiao Wu has not been a teacher nor a student, but she has never been absent from the school. When someone asks for advice at the school, she is always willing to give guidance.
>
Ke Yulang always felt a sense of estrangement between his senior sister and the people and things around her. After the last female classmate got married, that feeling became even stronger.
Perhaps, a change of environment would be for the better.
Yulan thought to himself.
Xiao Wu was a little lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Master wouldn't agree to this."
Yu Lang was taken aback.
Over the years, he naturally could tell that his senior sister was extraordinary.
>
But he didn't know his senior sister's background, nor did he know why she never grew up or why her master wouldn't let her leave his side
Yulang hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself. In the end, he didn't ask anything further.
After scattered learning.
Yulang and Xiao Wu walked up the mountain side by side, talking about their plans. "Sister, I'm planning to let Shi Heng take over the school. He's past forty, has failed many exams, his knowledge isn't bad, but he's lost his spirit. He came to me before, wanting to stay at the school. At the Taoist temple, these years Liu Daifu often stayed overnight, his medical skills have progressed by leaps and bounds, his apprentices have also received true teachings, enough to run the clinic. Liu Daifu is getting older, but his body is still strong, he should be willing to come over. Sister, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters anymore, just like before."
Little Five listened, just nodding silently, not saying a word. Suddenly, he glanced up at the sky.
Yulan also noticed and stopped with Xiao Wu in front of the Taoist temple.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Immediately, a refreshing breeze swept down from the sky, rustling the grass and causing two graceful figures to descend.
And one of them was an acquaintance, none other than Yin Qiao'er, the young mistress of the Yin family.
Accompanying Yinqiao'er was also a woman, of similar stature to Yinqiao'er, with a light gauze covering her face.
Chiffon is a magical artifact; ordinary people cannot see through it, and Jade Lang would not be impolite to peep.
However, even through the sheer gauze, one could sense that the woman's beauty was certainly no less than Yin Qiaoer's, and she possessed a certain air that Yin Qiaoer lacked.
The woman's eyes peeked out, her gaze like lingering autumn rain, carrying an unyielding melancholy.
"Aunt, this is it."
Yin Qiao'er whispered to the woman and then stepped forward to pay her respects, saying: "Daoist Wu, Daoist Yu Lang, this is my aunt, whose Dharma name is Nian Hui."
"So it is Friend Nianhui, this poor Daoist greets you."
Yu Lang returned the greeting and discreetly sized up this woman with the peculiar dharma name.
Before, Yinqiaoer had visited alone and mentioned this woman, saying that she had suffered from a hidden illness since childhood and asked the master to diagnose her. She inquired about when the master would leave seclusion.
Now I'm here in person.
Nian Hui was clearly a cultivator, and his cultivation level was very high; at least Yu Lang couldn't see through it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This level of cultivation, backed by a powerful family, actually has an incurable illness. This is not common.
"Greetings, esteemed masters," Nianhui bowed slightly, her voice soft yet carrying a hint of melancholy, like everyone else.
“Has Senior Qingfeng left the pass” Yinqiao’er asked repeatedly.
>
"The master is still in seclusion."
"This...senior, how long does he usually take to retreat for" Nianhui's expression was as usual, but Yinqiaoer was very worried about her aunt.
“My master cultivates divine powers, which can be long or short. We disciples dare not presume to guess,” Jade Light opened the door, “Please come in and sit down, two Daoist friends.”
Yin Qiao'er glanced at her aunt and said, "Aunt's illness is getting worse, I can't delay any longer. Since that's the case, Master Dao, could you be accommodating and let us stay at the Daoist temple, waiting for the senior to leave seclusion"
“This...”
Yu Lang hesitated for a moment.
The Taoist temple does indeed often have patients staying overnight, but there has never been a cultivator who stayed over.
Young men with the surname Shi will leave after a while.
Moreover, cultivators can open up cave abodes anywhere, so why would they have to live in a Taoist temple
“Master Dao, please rest assured. We know the rules and will remain in our quarters peacefully. We will not engage in any spying. Otherwise, before Senior would even need to take action, our own fathers would punish us.”
Silver skillfully spoke in a soft voice, grabbing Jade's sleeve and pleading softly.
Yulan had never experienced such a situation before. He lightly coughed, glanced at his senior sister, and saw that she had already begun cleaning the main hall. Without making a sound, he drew out his sleeve and said: "There are several rooms in the side hall, which are for relatives to stay overnight. If two Daoist friends don't mind, they can live there."
"Thank you, Daoist."
>
Yín Qiǎo'er immediately leaped with joy, turning her head to see her aunt walk into the main hall. She stared blankly at the several statues inside the hall, her eyes flickered, and she also picked up a broom.
Putting on a show of helping for a while, he casually asked, "Master Yulan, why didn't you bring Master Shi this time"
"Are you talking about Brother Shi"
Yelang didn't doubt him, "Brother Shi isn't usually here, he only comes back occasionally."
“Oh, no wonder I didn't see him last year. I thought Shi Dao-you was still cultivating in the Taoist temple! Senior, as a person of such high attainment, we dare not hope to be your disciples. Being able to follow you is already an immense fortune!”
>
Yín Qiáo'er seemed to be moved by this, and secretly complimented him with a gesture.
Yu Lang thought for a moment, “Last year Speaking of it, Brother Shi hasn’t come in over a year, has he Sister”
Xiao Wu didn't lift his head and just hummed in response.

Then, the two women stayed at the Taoist temple.
Silver-hearted Yin Qiao couldn't bear to stay confined, often changing her appearance to descend the mountain for travel and play. However, Nianhui preferred to remain secluded and rarely appeared in public.
Yu Lang arranged his affairs according to plan and went into seclusion. This time of seclusion was not for cultivation, but to clear his mind.
> Time flies, and half a year has passed again.
Entering the summer season, the weather is hot and dry.
Yulan, who was meditating in seclusion, suddenly woke up with a start. His expression brightened, and he hurriedly left his meditation chamber and entered the main hall. There, he saw a familiar figure.
"Master!"
Yu Lang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Qin Sang.
>
"Your intentions, Master has already known. You have reached the Foundation Building stage, it is time for you to go down the mountain."
After a moment of silence, Qin Sang said again, “Let your senior sister come down the mountain with you as well.”
“Ah Yes, Master, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of my senior sister!”
Yu Lang was sincerely happy for his senior sister, even more excited than he was when he went down the mountain.
Little Five is now learning in school.
Qin Sang looked down at the mountain, his gaze deep and contemplative. Making this decision was actually quite risky.
He won't follow. No one knows if Xiao Wu, having left him, will still be able to suppress his murderous intent.
>
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
However, this day always has to be faced.
At first, Little Five was in a bad mood and wanted to kill someone. Later, he was persuaded to be good. Then, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, he left his sight and was betrayed. Even so, he could suppress his murderous heart.
The changes are evident to all.
The time has come to test the results of this trial.
At this moment, a figure walked in from outside the door. It was Nianhui, startled by Yulang's actions.
Yu Lang opened his mouth, just about to speak, when he suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching.
"Wow! It's a coincidence, Big Brother Shi is here too!"
Yulang secretly glanced at his master, wondering if his master had purposely left seclusion at this moment.
He strode out quickly, but he didn't notice that Nianhui beside him suddenly turned around and stared fixedly at the outside, her palms gripping the doorframe tightly.
>
'Whoosh!'

A young man surnamed Shi stumbled to the front gate, stepped into the Taoist temple, and at once saw the woman.
He paused slightly, his eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his face. "Brother, I'm late this time. Have you been waiting anxiously"
