Tang Ling was confused when he was suddenly asked a question.
Although last night's nightmare did not affect her concentration in class, after missing a month of classes, she was still confused no matter how attentively she listened to this class.
At this moment, she stood up and accepted the baptism of everyone's attention. She felt quite embarrassed that she knew nothing in her previous life, but was called out by the teacher.
Especially this teacher’s eyes are full of expectation when he looks at you.
Finished.
She is most afraid of living up to other people's expectations.
"Okay."
I have no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.
Coaching elder: "Oh? Why?"
Tang Ling: "..."
Can I say that I am telling nonsense?
In the silence, whispers echoed around.
Obviously, most of the disciples recognized Tang Ling.
However, the coaching elder had never seen Tang Ling, so he was very dissatisfied with the current discipline in the school. He swept his serious eyes towards the speakers one by one, and wherever he glanced, the silence button was pressed on all of them.
Then, he put on a friendly look and looked at Tang Ling encouragingly.
This was the first time that Tang Ling was looked at with such eager eyes by a teacher.
She endured her embarrassment, searched her head for the lessons she had attended over the past two days, racked her brains, and finally composed a somewhat complete answer.
"Elixirs can be used to heal injuries and strengthen the body, to restore beauty, and to assist in cultivation... Students believe that since elixirs can strengthen the sick and weak bodies of monks, there are also elixirs that can change people's physiques."<
/p>
"That's right." The coaching elder nodded, "You listen to the class very seriously - what's your name? Which college are you from?"
Tang Ling knew that what he said could not be simpler, so he did not rule out the encouragement in the words of the coach.
But she was still hopeless because these words gave her some confidence in studying.
"My name is Tang Ling, and I'm from Gurongyuan."
After coming to Lingxian Sect, she said this sentence for the third time.
However, this sentence seems to have its own magic, always able to instantly silence the surrounding environment.
There was a moment of silence in the classroom.
The encouraging smile of the coaching elder froze on his face, and the unspoken words were stuck in his throat.
Tang Ling is too familiar with this reaction.
She sighed inwardly.
Tang Linfeng and Liu Ru should not have expected that they would go to great lengths to insert themselves into the school of the most prestigious elder of the Lingxian Sect, but this title made her repeatedly rejected.
It feels terrible to be rejected.
Over and over again.
She was almost fed up with it herself.
But there is no way.
Ancient Banyan Courtyard, Tang Ling.
These words are almost representative of "going through the back door", "senior brother does not love the master if he does not care", and "D level low spiritual root".
As long as she is Lu Qingfeng's disciple, these words will be deeply imprinted on her forehead like a brand, reminding everyone of her ridiculous status.
Seeing the change in the coaching elder's expression, Tang Ling felt a little sad.
What's even more sad is that she has no qualifications to refute these.
In the end, the coaching elder did not say anything more to her. Instead, he motioned for her to sit down, walked further away, and started talking about the answer to the question again.
"Elixirs may be able to strengthen a monk's physique. In terms of change, no one has ever succeeded in taking elixirs. In other words, even if they were developed, no one would dare to take them."
These words successfully drew the disciples' attention away from Tang Ling, and some people raised doubts.
"Elder, you said no one dares to take it. Why is that?"
"Because there are rumors that a few years ago, at an auction in Six Continents, a magical elixir appeared. It is said that after taking it, it can modify the human body. As soon as this elixir came out, someone was willing to spend all their money to buy it."
The coaching elder walked down the platform and approached the disciples who finally became interested.
The disciples' curiosity was completely aroused. When the elder stopped talking, they all asked questions.
"What happened next? Was the change successful?"
"Later, he died."
The coaching elder looked coldly at the disciples who were looking forward to it, "He died miserably, his whole body turned into a pool of blood, and no bones were left."
The sound of breathing came one after another in the school.
"But the people at the auction house said they could change their physiques, but they ended up harming people. Won't they be held accountable?"
"'Six Continents Auction House' is a name."
Immediately, a disciple laughed, his tone full of ridicule towards the disciple who asked the question, "You don't even know this, do you? That is the most prestigious auction house in the cultivation world, and anything that can be auctioned by them will have gone through the most rigorous process.
Strict assessment must not involve fraud."
The disciple who was ridiculed turned red and held back a sentence, "But, that man is dead!"
"That's right. The man is indeed dead, but the Six Continents Auction House will not be held accountable, because as early as the beginning of the auction, the seller who displayed the goods told the consequences of taking the elixir."
After a pause, the coaching elder continued, "Those who take this elixir can optimize their cultivation physique and change the level of their spiritual roots. However, after taking it, they must be able to withstand the huge energy brought by the elixir's tempering of the body. If you cannot bear it,
, In the worst case, the meridians in the body are all gone, the spiritual roots are destroyed, and the person becomes a useless person; in the worst case, the body is dead and the soul is extinguished, ending in complete destruction."
"It's too scary."
"The monk who took the elixir was also pitiful."
"What a pity, I think you are too conceited!"
The disciples felt waves of chill.
Someone whispered: "In this case, that person is willing to spend all his money to try it."
Hearing this, the coaching elder said nothing.
Being able to change the physique and level of cultivation is fatally attractive to any monk with a low level of spiritual roots.
But to say how powerful this attraction is, it still depends on how deep the disciple’s obsession is with ascending to immortality.
Judging from the current climate in the cultivation world, it’s not that the teaching elders couldn’t understand the monk who took the elixir back then.
In order to ascend, he may have tried every means to cultivate, but he was never able to make a breakthrough due to qualification issues.
People are never satisfied. For many monks who are obsessed with becoming immortals, they have no hope of ascension in their long lives.
So sometimes it is better to fight to the death than to spend the rest of my mediocre life doing nothing.
But these words cannot be said to this group of disciples who have just stepped into the threshold of cultivation and are still full of hope for cultivation and ascension.
"In fact, if you have a strong enough endurance and the ability to recover as before after being ravaged by the elixir, then it is possible to change your physique by taking the elixir."
So he stood on the high platform again, thoughtfully said the concluding remarks of this class.
"After all, it is just a rumor and has not been verified, so everyone can just listen to it. But this rumor tells us a truth: there is no shortcut to cultivation, there are thousands of avenues, and different paths lead to the same goal - that is, with a clear understanding of oneself, perseverance and hard work.
”
Yes, this is what you should listen to and believe.
Tang Ling felt that when he said this, the coaching elder's eyes seemed to have glanced at him.
