Chapter 40 Guidance (Thanks to Othinus One-Eye for her reward from the Silver Alliance!)
"That's not what teachers do!"
Waving his hand, Hilliard scolded with some humor: "I said it was difficult to leave because I am a wanted criminal. Do you think this inheritance is not being monitored?"
"If the Ascended Ones on the empire's side notice the emergence of you, the new Immovable City cultivator, will they not think of who you are inheriting from? You will become the highest-level wanted criminal in the new generation of the empire."
"Really?" Ian raised his brows, he was a little surprised: "Apart from you, teacher, are there no other people in the empire who practice this true form?"
"They can't learn."
Looking up at the ceiling, Hilliard said softly: "There were some mistakes in this inheritance before. I corrected them, but I haven't had time to summarize them yet..."
Halfway through his words, the old knight stopped talking and seemed to be lost in memories.
After a few seconds, he lowered his head and stared at Ian's face.
Hilliard said slowly: "What you said makes sense. With me as a teacher, it would be a waste to fortify the city without practicing."
"so."
He just thought of a compromise: "You can use the reef-eating sea otter as the main ingredient for the sand armor apprentice's potion."
"The spine crystal bones of the reef-eating sea otter have dual effects of water and earth. It can be used as a potion material for the true form inheritance of part of the water system, and can also be used as a potion material for the true form inheritance of the earth system. If it is combined with some additional materials to stabilize it, it can take both aspects into account.
The advantages of both are regarded as the sublimation of the two attributes of water and earth."
"However, it's just the first level. Starting from the second level, you have to specialize. By then, you will probably have figured out which path you want to take."
"Choose whether to inherit a guardian-type true form like the Fortress, or a water-type true form like Tidebringer."
At this point, Hilliard frowned and emphasized: "This is just a special situation of the True Form series - the bloodline inheritance is extremely stable, but the compatibility is low, so it cannot accept this kind of operation."
"Moreover, this will also cause you to need more second-level potions when you advance to the second level to make up for your current shortcomings."
What Hilliard said is also the method used by many great nobles and powerful forces to cultivate heirs.
They have the conditions and capital to allow their children to embark on the path of advancement at a young age, and they have many different choices.
But even after they have passed through adolescence, and after special training, they can meditate and guide the circulation of essence in the body, these children still do not have rich life experience.
They cannot clearly understand their own strengths and weaknesses, nor can they choose the one that suits them best from the dazzling array of true inheritances in their family.
The road to sublimation cannot be delayed, but if you cannot choose the most appropriate path, your future growth will be extremely bumpy.
In this way, we can use the materials of mixed-attribute monsters that can take into account multiple inheritances for initial advancement - after all, unlike the strict requirements of bloodline, what the true form requires is only 'function'. As long as the functions are consistent and there is no mutual exclusion,
The materials of all World of Warcraft are the same, but at most the details are slightly different.
In this way, the process from the first energy level to the second energy level can give young practitioners ample time to think about what kind of future they want.
As for the bloodline sublime ones...then they have no choice.
The descendants of the old bloodline sublimators naturally follow the same path as their fathers.
True form has convenient universality and choice, and bloodline can directly inherit some sublimated organ seeds to descendants. There is no need to collect potion materials. They can mature as they grow older, saving a lot of resources and time.
This is the most fundamental difference between the two lineages.
But even so, as the price of "more choices", after the inheritance to be advanced is officially confirmed, the potion requirements for the next level of the route will be doubled, or even more.
This should be a very serious question. After all, the price of the second-level potion cannot be afforded by even the nobles.
But the old knight turned his head and looked at the fish steaks that were still warm on the table. Thinking of Ian's possible psychic powers, he chuckled and said, "Maybe it's not a problem for you."
"Just listen to the teacher."
Naturally, Ian won't have any objections - this is the advantage of having teachers. They can always rely on their rich life experience to find a path that has the best of both worlds and is suitable for the current situation.
As for now, what he needs to do is still condense the source seeds.
In the Ascendant system of the Terra Continent, condensing source seeds is the basis for entry.
Those who have condensed multiple sublimation organs are the apprentices of the first level; those who form the system of sublimation organs and circulate the essence throughout the body are the elites of the second level; the essence is condensed and substantive, and refined into life spiritual energy.
It is the master of the third level who brings the extraordinary power brought by the Warcraft to its limit, and even breaks through the limit with wisdom and manifests the 'Heart Light Body'.
Further up, there is a realm beyond human limits. Even in the myths and legends of the past, it can have its own name.
That is the realm of 'glory' and 'demigod'.
Hilliard was extremely optimistic about Ian. He believed that the student he picked up on the roadside had the potential to surpass almost all his past apprentices, and if such a good seedling could not be cultivated into a high-level sublimation of the fourth or fifth level,
Otherwise, it is really a waste.
"Ian, you just ate the flesh of a primordial devil fish. Although it is weak, the essence in its flesh and blood is quite rich. Part of the virtual essence in your body should have been refined."
Gently tapping the table, Hilliard signaled the boy to cheer up and listen to him: "The automatic operation speed of the source seed is too slow, and it will waste a lot."
"So next, I'm going to teach you a breathing guidance technique that can speed up the source seed's extraction of the essence of life."
The practice of sublimation is actually very similar to building a house.
Source matter is a necessity for sublimators to condense their sublimation organs. It can be understood as bricks, glass, and wooden boards, which are building materials.
Food, whether it is ordinary wheat flour, pig, beef, mutton, fish, or Warcraft meat, can extract source matter, which can be understood as logs, clay and gravel, as raw materials.
The quality of the source seed determines the quality of the source substance extracted from the food by the sublimator, that is, whether the strength, toughness and adaptability of the brick are excellent.
The Breathing Guidance Technique determines the speed at which the sublimator can extract the essence from food, and is the processing speed at which various raw materials are turned into building materials.
Finally, the inheritance of the true form of the bloodline is the architectural design.
The higher the level of inheritance, the more exquisite the building is, the more majestic and majestic it is, the more complete its functions are, and it is also more solid and stable, and is not easily destroyed.
Food, source species, and breathing guidance techniques are all indispensable.
If you lack one, it is equivalent to walking without a leg. Even if you are extremely talented, it will be difficult to catch up with others.
And inheritance is more important than these three.
——Even if there are perfect raw materials and the fastest construction speed, the foundation is crooked from the beginning, or there are lack of stairs, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom... I am afraid that the building will collapse on its own and cannot be inhabited at all.
In Hilliard's view, Ian's spiritual power can ensure the acquisition of food, and his cultivation talent is excellent, so the quality of his source seed must be high.
In this way, as long as you learn the guidance technique and take over his inheritance, your future success will definitely be the same.
