After saying goodbye to Elder Shi Ding, Luo Yan came out and met Miss Shi again.
She probably waited for Luo Yan here because she had tried many times before and could not convince her father.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan quickly had an idea.
First of all, you can't just tell Miss Shi "the master has agreed" because Miss Shi may be ecstatic on the spot, but there is a chance that she will think randomly afterwards, and she feels that her father listens to Luo Yan and doesn't listen to me - so
, you will have some grudges towards yourself.
Secondly, we must cooperate with the master's plan and let Shi Liuli feel the difficulty of signing up for the competition, so that she can maintain enough interest in the Bai Yujing Dafeng.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan showed an extremely regretful expression. Under Miss Shi's uneasy gaze, he said slowly and heavedly:
"Master said...he needs to think about it again."
Shi Liuli:……………………………
Then why are you showing such a scary expression?
She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's certainly, I didn't expect my father to be convinced so soon..."
"So I thought of another way: Since Master believes in your strength more than me, then as long as you lose to me in the competition, wouldn't it be enough?"
"So that's it." Luo Yan pretended to realize it suddenly, "I'll go find my master now, and then we will show it to him."
"What does it mean to show him?" Shi Liuli was very dissatisfied, "Junior brother, don't underestimate me. Senior sister, my strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently, and only my father refuses to believe it!"
"Is that true?" Luo Yan pretended to be surprised, "It's great, why don't you let me learn about my senior sister's strength first?"
Not long after, Shi Liuli once again doubted life.
How is that possible?
No!
I remember that my junior brother didn’t go out to practice much, let alone participate in actual combat. Why is his combat level so much higher than mine?
Luo Yan also noticed something was wrong. He had already used only 70% of his strength, but found that Miss Shi was weaker than expected, and 70% of his strength seemed to be about to kill the other party with one punch.
If not, it must be changed to 50% of the force.
After continuing to reduce 20% of the true energy, the magic weapons of both sides were fought back and forth this time.
Shi Liuli also breathed a sigh of relief. What's the younger brother? He was suddenly so fierce at the beginning. I thought he was really much better than me!
Thinking of this, she suddenly put away her magic weapon and said:
"Junior brother, I heard that there are more people using flying swords when fighting outside now?"
"Yes." Luo Yan explained, "Flying swords have the fastest attack method, and in the fight between monks, taking preemptive action means first suppression, or even killing opponents, so flying swords are the most common."
"But as far as I know, many magic weapons that are known for their speed are not weaker than those of flying swords?" Shi Liuli asked innocently.
"Indeed, for example, needle-like magic weapons." Luo Yan replied, "but most of them cherish rare things, so they are not mainstream."
Shi Liuli thought to herself. After all, she was born in Tiangongfang, which is famous for casting magic weapons, so she had no perception of the scarcity of magic weapons. After thinking about it, she asked again:
"What about the Dharma?"
"Only speaking of practicality, Taoism must be above flying swords and magic weapons." Luo Yan explained patiently, "It is probably because the flying swords and magic weapons are external objects, but Taoism is obtained by cultivators' own practice, so regardless of safety.
It is still more manipulable and there is no risk of being taken away."
"But, Taoism is rarer than magic weapons, and it is difficult to obtain unless it is a major sect. In addition, it takes a lot of time to master Taoism, so it is not popular."
"Where is the talisman?" Miss Shi asked curiously.
"The talisman is activated quickly, the true energy is consumed less, and the power is also good." Luo Yan said with a smile, "But the problem is that it is one-time."
"If you want to use talismans to build a play, you need a large number of talismans to keep around you. This kind of play can only be used by our Yuqing Temple. For the monks outside, the cost is too high."
Shi Liuli seemed to understand but didn't understand it. She only remembered that it was "not good" and that it was "high cost". She asked subconsciously:
"My junior brother, are the monks outside... very poor?"
Luo Yan:?
This question is really outrageous. Before Luo Yan traveled through time, would you, a rich lady, ask such a question? Will you be hung with street lights by poor people?
Fortunately, Shi Liuli quickly realized how stupid a question she asked, and quickly defended her and explained:
"Ahem, I just said it casually, junior brother, you don't need to answer."
"In fact, whether it is flying swords or magic weapons, there is a shortage of supply in the entire cultivation world." Luo Yan sighed, "For cultivators, what everyone cares most about is how to improve their cultivation and extend their lifespan."
"There are too few people who are willing to learn to cast tools, which has caused this situation now."
Shi Liuli fell silent when she heard this. She understood Luo Yan’s implication:
Penglai Yuqing Temple is obsessed with studying the left and right paths. From the perspective of the cultivation world as a whole, especially the Three Pure Ones, this is definitely beneficial to everyone. After all, Yuqing Temple has produced so many resources for everyone.
But in terms of personal development, you spend more time studying the side and left paths, and spend less time on improving your own cultivation and extending your life, so there will be far fewer high-level monks in Yuqing Temple.
In Kunlun and Shushan schools.
It means that everyone sacrificed some of their own opportunities to achieve enlightenment and offered blood to the entire Orthodox Church!
Thinking of this, Shi Liuli was also a little depressed and uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking again:
"Can't you change the path? I mean, everyone is also focused on practicing Taoism and other things..."
"If we all give up casting tools and concentrate on practicing Taoism, and cannot improve our cultivation in a short period of time, then the status of Tiangongfang in Penglai will plummet, so this road cannot be reached." Luo Yan said with a smile.
"But that doesn't matter. Senior sister, aren't you there?"
Shi Liuli was stunned when she was struck by lightning.
She suddenly realized a problem that had not been discovered in the past, that is, all the senior brothers and sisters in Tiangongfang have corresponding research branches in the field of casting tools.
Even when the junior brother first started, he was directly arranged by his master to study the formation and the way to cast a tripod.
But she didn't know anything, and her father never arranged for her.
So, does my father hope that I can get rid of the constraints of the left and right path and concentrate on improving my own cultivation level?
Seeing that she was in a daze, Luo Yan immediately guessed what she was thinking and laughed secretly.
Regarding this question, he had asked Elder Shi Ding before why he didn't let Shi Liuli learn a method of casting weapons.
At that time, Elder Shi Ding rolled his eyes:
I am willing to teach, is she willing to learn?
Miss Shi’s personality is completely unsuitable for academics. It is impossible to ask her to sit down and study something.
Elder Shi Ding means that Shi Liuli can do whatever she likes. Anyway, Tiangongfang can still afford to raise an idle person, as long as she is happy.
However, Luo Yan didn't think so. He felt that Miss Shi was not bad-minded, but was just that no one was responsible for guiding her in the past.
"Senior Sister." Luo Yan struck while the iron was hot and said seriously, "The reason why Yuqing Temple can occupy a place in the Orthodox Church is because we sacrifice our time and energy to provide resources to Kunlun and Penglai."
"And the share of Tiangongfang, Master, Senior Brother Linghu, Senior Sister Liang and I will share it together, and it will not cause any burden on you."
"Sister Sister, just practice Taoism with peace of mind and work hard to improve your level of cultivation."
"I..." Shi Liuli bit her lower lip and couldn't say anything.
Only then did she realize that her father really had high expectations for him.
However, when she remembered that she had been idle in the past and wasted so much time she should have used to practice Taoism, she was so regretful that she almost shed tears.
That's the time everyone has bought for her!
"Me, can I really do it?" Shi Liuli lowered her head and twisted her clothes, and said unsteadily, "Junior brother, you know that I am lazy, willful, lack perseverance, and have three minutes of enthusiasm for doing things... I can take it on my shoulders...
Is that heavy responsibility?"
"I believe in you, senior sister." Luo Yan held her little hand that had nowhere to put and said affectionately, "Even if Master is not at ease with you, I firmly believe that Senior Sister, you can become our Tiangongfang in the future, or even Penglai Yuqing Temple.
The pillar of
"Start from this Baiyujing competition, prove yourself, senior sister!"
