After hearing this novel ranking, a look of confusion appeared on my face, because it was the first time I had heard of this medicinal plant.
However, judging from the word "life" in the name, this fruit is probably helpful for the growth of the power of life, otherwise the cultivation world would not add the word "life" when naming it.
"Because you have just stayed in Juyuanquan for a few days, you are no longer suitable to absorb source energy to strengthen your soul. Excessive absorption may have the opposite effect. But the power of life is different. You can completely strengthen your soul by strengthening your life force." Use the power to strengthen the soul. In fact, in the early stage of the second star, the power of life has a greater effect on pushing the door. After all, it is the door of life that needs to be pushed." Shen Changan said.
The source of the three powers: the power of life, the power of ghost energy and the power of spirit is the soul, which means that these three powers are all manifestations of the power of the soul, so as long as any one of these three powers can be strengthened, it will Strengthens the soul.
"I see."
After listening to Shen Changan's words, I swallowed slightly. I naturally knew this truth, but this kind of medicinal plant that can enhance the power of life has always been priceless and unavailable to ordinary people.
This is normal. Being able to increase the power of life means that it can increase lifespan. Therefore, this kind of medicinal plant is always a hot commodity. It is much harder to buy than elixirs such as the Nourishing Pill and the Holy Spirit Pill. Even if you have money, You may not be able to buy it.
"The effect of this life fruit is just like its name. Eating it can greatly increase your life force, which will help your door-pushing speed." Having said this, Shen Changan stuffed the life fruit into me. In his hand, he said: "This life fruit is a medicinal plant newly cultivated by the Academy of Sciences. Currently, there are not many in the entire cultivation world. I only have two in my hand. You can take it."
"Thank you, mentor!" Hearing this, I thanked him repeatedly, and a touch of emotion appeared on my face.
I really didn’t expect that my mentor would pay so much for me. Not only did he take me to the top of Yuanshan Mountain to tutor me in cultivation, he even gave away such a precious life fruit. I don’t know how I should repay and thank Shen Changan. .
As if he saw what I was thinking, Shen Changan smiled and said: "Just take it, there is no need to feel any psychological burden. If you really want to thank me, then practice hard and try to get it by the end of the month." Break through to the peak of the early two-star stage, so that your mentor and I will also have a bright face."
"good!"
I nodded and suppressed the emotion in my heart. Just as Shen Changan said, the most important thing I should do now is to break through to the peak level as soon as possible and win the qualification to be a player in the Global Martial Arts Conference.
"Well, you should take the Life Fruit first, and I'll watch over you to avoid any problems," Shen Chang'an said.
Hearing this, I responded first, but I was still a little hesitant when I took the Life Fruit to my mouth. Seeing this, Shen Changan said in surprise: "What's wrong? Do you have any questions? If you don't understand anything, just ask."
"Well, it's not a problem. It's just that my mentor is so interested in me. I'm worried that Ling Xuan and Song Feisheng will be dissatisfied..."
I said with a bit of worry, Ling Xuan just left Shen Changan at home, if I were put in Ling Xuan's position, I might feel a little uncomfortable.
Although after so many days of contact, I personally feel that Ling Xuan and Song Feisheng are pretty good people, but facing this kind of differential treatment, they may feel unbalanced because this is human nature.
"You are worried that if I take too much care of you, it will arouse their dissatisfaction, which will eventually affect the relationship between classmates and even the relationship between teachers and students. Is that so?" Shen Changan said slowly. After all, he is a mentor, and he immediately understood what I meant. And he repeated the worries in my heart verbatim.
Seeing that Shen Changan had guessed what I was thinking, I nodded and said, "Well, that's pretty much what it means..."
"Listen carefully, the resources of the Imperial Bureau have always been obtained by those with power, rather than distributed fairly. People with ability will naturally get more, so you can get preferential treatment from me, not because I am partial as a mentor, but because Thanks to your excellent performance.
The Imperial Bureau wants to cultivate capable and strong people, not mediocre people, so if you perform well, you will naturally get more benefits.
If you fail to show your ability in the selection, then all the preferential treatment you see at this moment will not appear, so it is not so much that I am partial, it is better that these are all earned by you. you deserved.
Do you think that your senior brothers and sisters only have Jiang Yuan and Li Yuxin, and why they are the only two who have stayed after so many years of tutors and students? It is because their performance is more outstanding than other tutors and students.
You have to understand that there are only so many resources, but there are so many people, and if they are distributed fairly, no one can even drink soup.
Therefore, the reality is cruel and competition exists everywhere.
Not only between your tutors and students, but also between your tutors and ordinary members of the Empire, there is also secret competition between our tutors, but you can't see it.
The reality is this. When there are too many people and too little food, if you want to allocate more, you can only work hard to compete for resources. This situation is true everywhere, as small as between us as individuals, as large as provinces and even countries, and This phenomenon does not only appear in the world of cultivation, it is the same in other places, but the world of cultivation is more direct."
After listening to Shen Changan's words, I was immediately speechless.
Yes, resources have always been scarce. If you want to get resources, you have to perform better and reflect your own value. And isn't this how I have come along the way, from the Martial Arts Competition to the Spiritual Bureau Competition to the present day? In the upcoming Global Martial Arts Tournament, I have been competing among a sea of competitors.
"It's normal for you to have such thoughts, because you already have feelings for Ling Xuan and Song Feisheng. When people have feelings, they will want to share it equally, but you should not forget the cruelty of reality. In fact, they have been affected by me. The snub is precisely because you have performed too well, so their resources and treatment are essentially taken away by you, so do you want to give up your resources to them for the sake of this so-called "fairness"?"
After saying these words, Shen Changan turned his eyes to me, and under his gaze, my face suddenly turned red. It took a long time before he hesitated and said: "No... no way. .”
If the other parties are Ye Yuyou and Lin Wei, I can give them resources, but not Ling Xuan and Song Feisheng, because our relationship has not reached this level, and I cannot give up my hard work just for the sake of fairness. resources to them.
"That's right. In the Imperial Bureau, everyone relies on their ability to earn a living. If they really have any objections, let them become stronger. If they perform well, I will naturally take care of them. Otherwise, everything is empty talk." Shen Changan He nodded and said: "Do you still remember what I told you during the student selection meeting? When cultivating, the most important thing is to fight. This is the mentality that a cultivator should have."
"Practice well and don't let down these two life fruits and my expectations for you." Shen Changan said.
Hearing this, I nodded and said seriously: "Teacher, I understand. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
As soon as I finished speaking, I put a life fruit in my hand directly into my mouth, and drank it in a few mouthfuls. At the same time, a warm current suddenly flowed from my stomach to my limbs, and a warm current suddenly spread out all over my body. Rich life force.
While I was practicing with my eyes closed, Shen Changan looked at me with eyes full of expectation.
There is something he has never said to me. Even though he will take more care of outstanding students, the tutors and students he has taught in the past, even Jiang Yuan and Li Yuxin, have never received such high treatment.
However, Shen Changan will not say these words. He has always hoped that he can cultivate a pillar of talent for China and even for mankind, and I am currently his most promising student.
Shen Changan believes in his own vision!
Seeing me in the state of cultivation, Shen Changan felt a strong sense of expectation.
