Chapter 401: Conversation between master and apprentice
Lin Tianqi was in a good mood after returning home after a long absence. Uncle Jiu, Xu Jie and Xu Dongsheng were also happy. The whole yard was filled with a sense of joy. After entering the yard, they put the things away and started to prepare breakfast. Chef Xu Jie
, brothers Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng helped with some chores, helping to chop firewood, wash pots, wash vegetables...
"We don't have much rice at home. Tian Qi and Dong Sheng, you two brothers go to the street to buy some rice and some vegetables." After chopping firewood and washing the rice pot, Uncle Jiu said to the two brothers again.
.
The two brothers immediately responded and helped to finish the work. Then they took a hemp bag to buy rice and went out. They first went to the rice store and bought 500 kilograms of rice directly, and then went to the street to buy some more.
It took more than half an hour to prepare chicken, duck, fish and vegetables. When I returned home, the rice was almost ready. Xu Jie had already started cooking and also made a large pot of Gu soup to stew.
Around eight o'clock, the meal was ready, including four meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes and one soup. The table was filled with a whole table of dishes. The soup was ginseng soup stewed with the ginseng Lin Tianqi had brought back before. The four masters and apprentices sat down and started eating.
, there is no rule in the family about keeping silent after eating. After sitting down now, while eating, he also started to ask about Lin Tianqi's situation. Lin Tianqi did not hide too much and told them one by one.
"After I had perfected the health-preserving boxing technique, I felt that my martial arts cultivation had reached a bottleneck and I could not make any progress, so I went to Tianjin to see if I could find other martial arts techniques for reference and see if I could make a breakthrough.
Martial Arts Barrier, after arriving in Tianjin, I spent some money to enter the Li Family Martial Arts School to study under my master, and stayed in the Li Family Martial Arts Academy for a while. Later, the Japanese came to the Li Family Martial Arts Academy..."
When Lin Tianqi opened his mouth, he first told how he entered the Li family martial arts gym after arriving in Tianjin and how he had enmity with the Japanese. Later, he faked his own death and saved Li Quanqing and Li Min's father and daughter.
"During that competition in the ring, I killed all the disciples of the Yagyu Martial Arts School, which offended the Japanese quite severely. Originally, I had already cheated on my death to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Japanese, but I later joined the Martial Arts School through Wu Sanjiang.
, the news that I am not dead has been exposed again. Because of the competition for the position of Qilin Star Envoy of Wumen, Wang Zehuai, the nephew of the deputy sect leader Wang Ba, had a grudge and robbed and killed me on my way back to Peking from Mingcheng..."
After talking about Tianjin, Lin Tianqi also talked about whether he would join Wumen in Peiping or stay in Wumen later.
"Although Wang Baxian and Wang Ze are dead now, the news that I am alive must have been leaked to the Japanese by them. This is quite troublesome."
"No matter what you do in life, there will always be gains and losses. As long as the gains outweigh the losses, it is fine. Although it is troublesome to offend the Japanese, you don't need to worry too much. These Japanese are burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil on our land.
, just kill if you kill, offend if you offend, it’s no big deal, you don’t have to worry too much about the safety of your home, I’m here.”
Uncle Jiu noticed that Lin Tianqi said, "A son is more like a father than a disciple, and a disciple is like a teacher. How could he not know Lin Tianqi's worries?" Xu Dongsheng and Xu Jie beside them also nodded when they heard this.
"By the way, senior brother, you just said what your martial arts breakthrough looks like and how powerful it is. Are you as powerful as your master now..."
Xu Dongsheng was more interested in what Lin Tianqi said about martial arts, and asked quickly. But after he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and looked carefully at Uncle Jiu next to him. Sure enough, when he looked over, he saw his master.
That unique gaze immediately made him tremble in fright, and he lowered his head and pretended to eat without daring to speak. Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie couldn't help but watch in amusement.
When Uncle Jiu saw Xu Dongsheng lowering his head, he withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Lin Tianqi. In fact, he was also a little curious about martial arts and Lin Tianqi's current strength.
"What kind of state will you be in after your martial arts breakthrough, and what will your strength be like?"
Uncle Jiu asked. Xu Dongsheng, who lowered his head, immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Tianqi. Xu Jie also turned his head. All three were a little curious.
"Martial arts training, in the entire martial arts world, is now generally divided into three levels, bright strength, dark strength, and transformation strength. But really speaking, in my opinion, these three realms still belong to the same realm.
If compared with cultivation, it should be equivalent to the soul-nurturing realm of cultivation. Above this, martial arts does not have a clear realm. I call this realm metamorphosis."
After speaking, Lin Tianqi slowly stretched out his right index finger, and in the sight of Uncle Jiu and the others, a drop of blood fell from between it and fell on the table.
"Hey——"
Then, when the scene of the three people with their eyes wide open appeared, the blood fell on the table, and a burst of green smoke came out, as if it was ignited. When the blood disappeared, a scorched pit the size of a thumb appeared.
It was like being burned by fire.
"According to rumors, when you practice martial arts to the extreme, you will become a saint. Your body will be flawless, immortal, and a drop of blood will have great power. Since the breakthrough in martial arts, my body has undergone a transformation, as if my entire life has been transformed.
I have achieved some kind of sublimation. My current situation may not be considered a saint, but it should be considered extraordinary. Therefore, I will transform this state into an ordinary one."
After saying that, Lin Tianqi stretched out his right hand, pointed at a half-man-high bluestone in the yard next to him, flicked his finger, and fired a sword energy.
"laugh!"
The bloody sword energy passed through, and the bluestone was easily penetrated like tofu, leaving a thumb-sized hole in the middle.
Xu Jie and Xu Dongsheng were stunned, and even Uncle Jiu was a little shocked.
"My current martial arts realm, if divided according to cultivation, should be at the same level as the soul-condensing realm."
Later, Lin Tianqi told the three people one by one about the situation after the martial arts breakthrough, and explained the martial arts situation to the three people in detail.
"Why do I feel that practicing martial arts is more powerful than practicing Taoism?"
Finally, after listening to Lin Tianqi's story, Xu Dongsheng couldn't help but speak. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately met with the death stare of his master. He was instantly trembling with fright and cursing secretly in his heart.
I am also stupid. My master is a monk. If I tell him that practicing Taoism is not as good as practicing martial arts in front of him, given my master’s character, aren’t I looking for death?
Xu Dongsheng couldn't help but look bitter. He had already foreseen the special care coming from his master.
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but smile again when he saw this, but he still said:
"Actually, martial arts training and Taoism are both cultivation. There is no saying who is stronger or weaker. It's just because the systems are different and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The focus of martial arts training is to train the body. Of course, it can make the body extremely powerful, especially for someone like me.
With one step, it can be said that it is invulnerable to swords and water and fire. This is certainly not comparable to that of a cultivator, but the magic mastered by a cultivator cannot be mastered by a warrior."
"Furthermore, some of the spells mastered by cultivators are extremely lethal, such as the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and other spells. In terms of lethality and variety of methods, practicing martial arts is far inferior to cultivating Dao. Although I have made a breakthrough in martial arts, my realm should be equivalent to that of cultivating souls."
Realm, but if I really compare with the master, as long as the master is not attacked by me for the first time, I will definitely not be his opponent."
Lin Tianqi added another sentence at the end, bragging about his master without leaving any trace, and admitting that he was no match.
In an instant, Uncle Jiu raised the corners of his mouth, with a faint smile on his face. He glanced at Lin Tianqi from the corner of his eyes, and a trace of satisfaction flashed through his eyes. He thought to himself, Tianqi still knows how to speak, and his efforts are not in vain.
After being taught by my teacher for so many years, I feel very relieved.
After feeling comfortable, he stared at Xu Dongsheng again and hummed softly. This humming only frightened Xu Dongsheng so much that he trembled all over.
Xu Jie next to me couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Tianqi also found it funny, and at the same time, he secretly scolded his junior brother for not having a long memory, and knowing his master's character, but he still didn't know how to act like a dog.
"By the way, now that you have made a breakthrough in martial arts, what are your next plans for practice? How is your practice of the Purple Qi Soul Condensing Technique going?"
After a pause, Uncle Jiu asked again.
"For the next training, I plan to practice both martial arts and Taoism. And I found that the improvement of the body will also benefit greatly from the soul. After the last breakthrough in martial arts, my soul power has also been amazingly improved. The Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique has directly improved
It has reached several floors, and it has now reached the ninth floor.”
"Ninth floor!" At this moment, even Uncle Ninth couldn't help being shocked. Xu Dongsheng next to him suddenly opened his mouth. He was even more shocked than before when he learned about Lin Tianqi's martial arts cultivation.
Because in terms of martial arts, Lin Tianqi has been practicing body-building boxing with Uncle Jiu since he was a child. Although the improvement is astonishing, it is still acceptable. It can be said that he has accumulated a lot of experience, plus various ginseng medicines to replenish his body after marrying Bai Ji.
Although the speed was astonishing, the two of them didn't feel too weird.
But it is different in terms of cultivation, because both of them know that it has only been seven months since Lin Tianqi started practicing Taoism in July last year. Now, Xu Dongsheng has only reached the third level of Purple Qi Yunhun Jue, and Lin Tianqi has
Directly to the ninth floor...
Moreover, even among the entire Maoshan Sect, most of Lin Tianqi's uncles and uncles only have this level of cultivation, and a few have not even reached it.
"Because it must be related to the improvement of my martial arts cultivation. Especially before the last breakthrough in martial arts, my Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique could only break through to the seventh level. However, after the last martial arts breakthrough, the Purple Qi Soul Condensation Technique could not reach the seventh level."
Jue also directly broke through to the ninth level, and I can feel that my soul power also underwent an astonishing enhancement during that martial arts breakthrough."
"You are right. The soul and the body are closely related. A strong body nourishes the soul, and a strong soul is beneficial to the body. Your martial arts talent is amazing. Now that you have entered the realm, your body has reached an incredible state, which will enhance your soul power. Completely
It makes sense." Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, nodded and believed he agreed with Lin Tianqi's statement.
Then he raised his head and looked at Lin Tianqi and said——
"It's a good thing that you have such a talent. If you practice both martial arts and Taoism, you may be able to reach an unprecedented height of practice. However, remember to be proud and complacent. The journey of practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Remember." Uncle Jiu warned solemnly, worried that Lin Tianqi would be complacent.
.
"Master's words, Tian Qi must keep them in mind."
Lin Tianqi responded.
At the same time, I felt relieved, as I finally no longer had to worry about my master and Bai Ji being suspicious of my practice.
