"Backlash?" Mr. Shi was rarely serious. He chewed on these two words and asked, "My teacher, let me ask you first, do you want to take the path of a warrior or a cultivator in the future? Once you enter the high-level Dan realm, you have no choice but to regret it.
.”
Lou Cheng was a child who grew up watching professional martial arts competitions. He was influenced by this day and night. He had a dream and a pure and passionate love in his heart. Hearing this, he said without hesitation:
"Of course a warrior!"
The more important point is that the inheritance of cultivators has been cut off. Relying solely on the records left behind to practice is to achieve half the result with twice the effort. It is not like the path of martial arts. There are teachers at the top to give guidance and lovers at the bottom to refer to it. There are tons of relevant information that can be discussed.
There are plenty of partners to discuss with!
"Very good." Old Man Shi praised and said, "Then you must always remember that martial arts is the main thing and cultivation is the supplement. Stones from other mountains can attack jade, but it does not mean that it can be used as the weapon you want.
That piece of jade, the most taboo on the path of spiritual practice is that it has two ends: hesitation, unwillingness to choose, and no priority. Okay, first, can you tell me how you usually use it to digest it?"
Lou Cheng considered his words and said: "It can help me recover from fatigue. I use this to continuously squeeze myself and continuously improve my physical strength..."
Before he finished speaking, Old Shi said angrily:
"It's true! It made the old man and I out of breath!"
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to explain, he sighed and said: "Yes, you know how to purposely use adventure to improve your abilities, instead of simply relying on adventure. With this kind of heart and will, it is not in vain for me to accept you as my disciple."
Yes, eh, keep talking!"
Wasn't this interrupted by you? Lou Cheng cursed, and after thinking about what he just said, he said: "It can also help me fall into silence and allow me to quickly hug Yuan Shouyi, but after half a year of hard training,
Now I am able to master meditation without relying on it, and I am even close to the level of Dacheng, but I still cannot achieve inner vision..."
Old Man Shi nodded slightly in confirmation, but did not interrupt again.
"Except for these two points, when I use it to the limit, its balance will be broken, and a little power will leak out. After backlash, it will be integrated into my body and create innate powers." Lou Cheng said truthfully, "This is the first time.
When the backlash occurred, my disciple almost died in Yanling."
"Sure enough, it is a bit similar to Waigang Realm..." Old Man Shi said thoughtfully, "Master Longhu pays attention to the balance of yin and yang of ice and fire. The backlash power of awakening the frost ability should be similar to the first time. With your current physical fitness,
You can try it now.”
Lou Cheng said "weakly": "I've already tried it... It's indeed similar to the backlash power when awakening the fire power..."
The corner of Old Man Shi's mouth twitched, and he said angrily and amusedly: "You brat, you have grown up! In philosophical terms, you have really strong subjective initiative!"
"Master, do you still understand philosophy?" Lou Cheng said while avoiding the important matter.
Old man Shi laughed twice:
"Do you think that your master and I are illiterate? Well, now that I have awakened the frost power, I will be able to teach you something after the injury on your arm recovers. As for the second round of awakening, don't worry, wait for the physical energy
After your blood has reached the peak of the body refining realm and can be released and recovered, you can try again. Remember to find me when the time comes. I will watch over you. No matter what happens, I can save your life! Tsk, today's young people, one or two of them
It’s silly and bold!”
Lou Cheng felt guilty for a while after being told that he didn't dare to say anything.
"For the time being, you should digest it at your own pace. Then, how can you extract its essence and eliminate its dross? Integrate cultivation things into martial arts, and then think about it carefully as a teacher." Old Man Shi laughed at himself, "You have to be brave and ask for it.
Some research information.”
"Research data?" Lou Cheng asked curiously.
Old Man Shi smiled half-heartedly and said: "Do you think there was only one cultivator in ancient times, Master Longhu? Relevant palaces have been discovered one after another, so we can be sure that this road leads to the same destination as the different paths of martial arts, but it is also impossible to escape.
Because of the shackles, and because he has been hiding in the mountains and forests all year round, the inheritance is inevitably cut off."
"The military has collected a lot of remnants and has done in-depth research on cultivation. It has also specially selected a group of volunteers to go on this path for observation. Haha, if things on paper are not implemented in practice, they are just empty talk after all.
"
At this point, he sighed: "But the military information is not of much use to you. If you want to take the path of martial arts that incorporates some of the characteristics of cultivation, which has little overlap with their current direction, you still have to look at my
After my old friend gets the legacy of Master Longhu and combines it with what he can draw from it, you don’t have to be too hasty and concentrate on tempering your physical body to its peak first.”
"Yes, Master." Lou Cheng replied sincerely. It would be a great gain for him to have his Master watch him the next time he squeezes the golden elixir.
Mr. Shi nodded and returned to his less serious look: "Okay, that's it, go ahead and do whatever you need to do."
Lou Cheng was about to turn back to the dressing room when he couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Master, are you really not curious about this?"
Old Man Shi smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"What is the truth? What is the lie?" Lou Cheng said with the mentality of breaking the casserole and asking the truth.
"It's a lie. I have been with Shiwai Gang for many years and my own path has already been laid. The things about cultivation can only be used as a reference or for temporary purposes. They can no longer directly promote my improvement. Therefore, even though I have cooperated with the military for many years, I have always
I didn't pay much attention to their research on cultivation." Old Man Shi chuckled and said, "As for the truth, I am too old to be a teacher and can't stand the trouble. Even if blending cultivation things can help me go further, I don't dare to try rashly.
Now, wouldn’t it be better to have an old friend to open the way and a lively guinea pig like you to experience it? I have many channels to get what you can get.”
Also... upon hearing the truth, Lou Cheng was completely relieved, and his heart felt even more relaxed.
Old man Shi took out the small wine bottle, took a sip, hummed a babbling opera, and turned around and left leisurely.
Watching his master go away, Lou Cheng's mood was like the surface of a lake that calmed down after violent ups and downs, with some ripples still lingering in the calmness.
He suddenly sighed, feeling inexplicably disappointed.
For oneself, the golden elixir is the basis for rapid improvement in martial arts, the biggest and least known trump card, and the secret that one is least willing to let others know. It makes oneself unique and confident.
When its existence was known to the master, and when it became clear that similar cultivators were rare but not only existed, I seemed to have lost that unique feeling and was no longer full of certainty, so I was inevitably disappointed.
But thinking about it from another angle, the golden elixir itself contains too many dangers and too many uncertainties. With Master, a powerful Waigang person, looking after him, he will be much safer, and his true confidence and certainty lie in his uniqueness and that of others.
It is not a golden elixir, but the tenacity, perseverance, character, self-confidence and fighting talent that are "awakened" with the help of it.
They are the biggest reliance on one’s martial arts path!
After understanding this, Lou Cheng returned to normal and felt relaxed, as if he had been relieved of the burden that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, as well as the worry that he would die anytime and anywhere due to the instability of the golden elixir.
He stepped forward, still calm and confident, and walked towards the locker room door.
…………
Old Shi left the martial arts venue and walked towards the teacher's apartment. Suddenly, he let out an ugh sound and patted his head:
"Look at my memory, I even forgot to ask the brat exactly what he got?"
"Forget it, it's either a natal artifact or an external refining elixir..."
…………
When Lou Cheng entered the dressing room, Yan Zheke had just come out of the shower. Her black hair was tied up with a black rubber band. She was fluffy and fresh. Li Mao was pacing back and forth excitedly, constantly looking for someone to talk to. The sweat stains on his face were not gone.
Apparently there was no shower yet, and everyone else was busy with their own business.
Seeing Lou Cheng come in, Li Mao shouted loudly:
"Chengzi, and everyone, I'm going to treat you tonight and go to the Xueyuan Restaurant to celebrate!"
He wanted to express his gratitude and happiness.
Yan Zheke took out the ointment from the cabinet and joked: "Senior Brother Li Mao, are you ignoring me and Senior Brother Sun Jian? We are also the protagonists today. If you want to treat us, the three of us must do it together!"
Sun Jian also agreed: "That's right, Li Mao, you want to take the credit? I am the last warrior standing in the ring, and I am the leader, how can I let you do it yourself?"
Lou Cheng and others understood that they did not want Li Mao, who was from an ordinary family, to spend too much money, so they followed suit, making Li Mao feel moved and embarrassed, but finally agreed.
"Shall I help you rub away the bruises?" Lou Cheng walked up to Yan Zheke, smiled and reached out to take the ointment.
Yan Zheke pursed his lips, glanced at him with a smile, and hummed:
"Then let me try your skills~!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked to the edge of the bench to sit down. She untied her cuffs and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of skin covered with frost and snow. However, perhaps because of her delicate skin, only a few bruises and redness were visible.
It seems quite terrifying.
Lou Cheng picked up her wrist and applied ointment on the small red swelling on the fist. He felt distressed and pitiful, and rubbed it extremely carefully.
"It's not bad..." Yan Zheke bit his lower lip lightly with his white and fine teeth, looked at the whirlpool above Lou Cheng's head, and said with a shy smile.
"Of course, I rub it for myself after exercising every day, and my proficiency has already been reached." Lou Cheng replied humorously, feeling relaxed and happy.
Yan Zheke saw Sun Jian, Lin Hua and others leaving one after another, and Li Mao also entered the shower room to take a bath, and shouted softly:
"orange……"
"Huh?" Lou Cheng raised his head and looked at the girl, seeing her eyes as gentle as water.
"Thank you..." Yan Zheke turned to look to the side and whispered.
Not thank you now, but thank you before.
Lou Cheng chuckled and said:
"Do we still need to say thank you to each other?"
This was Yan Zheke's innocent answer before, but now he borrowed it, which immediately caused the girl to laugh and be angry, making Lou Cheng lose his mind for a while, and once again felt his "uniqueness"...
In this world, the only boy Yan Zheke likes is me...
