Li Ming couldn't help but smile at Tianjihong, and then said: "Theoretically speaking, it is true. The value of such a mutated fruit wrapped in the juice of rat scale grass is probably not as good as the ordinary earth evil fruit to the monks. , the scales on the outside limit the growth of evil spirits and life breath inside the fruit, and even if you spend effort to scrape off the scales wrapped around the outside, the fruit inside will not grow to maturity."
"But..." Li Ming smiled and deliberately prolonged his tone, obviously waiting for Tian Jihong's answer.
"But what? Master, do you have other ideas?" Tian Jihong immediately understood what Li Ming meant, and when he saw that things were turning around, he hurriedly asked.
"Haha, you might as well transfer this spiritual fruit to me. Since this thing is not suitable for direct use in spiritual breakthroughs, the spiritual energy contained in it is genuine, and it is a pity to waste it. Now that you have just started practicing, as a teacher I'm worried that I can't find a suitable elixir to explain the absorption of spiritual energy to you, so it would be a good idea to use this discarded earth demon fruit for practice. What do you think?"
In fact, Li Ming had already made this plan in his mind when he saw this spiritual fruit just now. For beginners like Tianjihong, learning to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is a necessary course; but if you use high-level elixirs for practice, it would be too wasteful, let alone the aura released by such materials is too strong, which is not good for Tianji Hongjie is simply difficult to absorb. Therefore, this time Li Ming asked Tianjihong to go into the mountains to search for Huangjie materials. He intended to use them for Tianjihong's introductory training. However, the Huangjie elixir contains many impurities, and it is necessary to absorb the spiritual energy in it. After some tempering, this required Li Ming to spend a lot of extra time. At this time, such a high-quality Xuanjie Disha fruit with immature internal fruit naturally became a better choice.
After hearing this, Tianjihong showed a satisfied smile again. Hearing that the spiritual fruit that he spent a long time to regain could still play a role in his practice, he could at least accept it in his heart. At this time, Tian Jihong hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, and tentatively asked Li Ming what he had been holding back for a long time: "Master, you see, this apprentice's journey into the mountains is full of dangers, and he has encountered many life and death crises. I know You said before that you would teach your disciples the practice method after I pass the assessment, but this time the disciples also had a lot of feelings. In many actual battles, they clearly felt that their lack of strength limited their performance."
"My disciple is here to implore Master, if you can teach me the method of absorbing spiritual power first, so that I can have a skill at hand first, so that I will not be helpless when encountering a real spiritual beast. From now on. I will try my best to complete the next assessment and will not disappoint your expectations. As for the martial arts apprenticeship, I don’t dare to ask for it. I can pass the assessment in the future and then the master will teach it to me. This is not a violation of your previous decision. The rules, I wonder what Master wants?"
After hearing this, if it had been anyone else before, Li Ming would have refused without hesitation. In his opinion, when one has just entered the path of spiritual practice, the improvement of physical functions and the cultivation of spiritual power are equally important; without laying a good physical foundation, wanting to start absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all at once is really putting the cart before the horse. It will be harmful to your future cultivation but not beneficial at all.
But looking at the kid in front of him, Li Ming couldn't help but fall silent. He naturally understood that the apprentice in front of him could not be generalized from the mediocre people he had come into contact with in the past who came to seek apprenticeship. The physical training Tianjihong has experienced since childhood has already reached the standard for starting to practice spiritual power, and his physical body is even strong enough to compete with ordinary [Physical Refining Realm] monks. The reason why he didn't teach him the practice method at the beginning was because he didn't want him to aim too high. After passing the assessment he arranged and further polishing his character, Li Ming would naturally start to give him guidance on spiritual practice immediately.
However, after hearing what Tianjihong had just done in Dongyun Mountain, Li Ming really started to treat this bold but talented apprentice differently. At this time, he wanted to say that he was not worried about the talented apprentice in front of him. That's definitely a lie. After thinking about it carefully, it would be a good idea to urge this kid to start practicing spiritual power as soon as possible to give him more power to protect himself. The practice of spiritual power is about long-term development and accumulation over time. If you start learning early, you will become talented early. At this time, Li Ming saw his apprentice mentioning this matter again, so he decided to change his mind and continue what he said.
"Well, I thought about it carefully, and what you said makes some sense." Li Ming nodded after thinking about it, "The reason why I didn't teach you these skills at the beginning is because I want you to First, experience the cruelty of the path of cultivation, see clearly the gap between yourself and real spiritual beasts or monks, and have an accurate understanding of your own strength."
"This time, I saw that you took a desperate risk and returned successfully from Dongyun Mountain. It can be considered that you have learned a lot of lessons. Today, before taking action at night, I will explain to you the method of absorbing Qi and returning it to the original state. From now on , after you have mastered this technique, you can absorb the spiritual energy wandering around the world anytime and anywhere, and refine it in your body to generate spiritual power, and you can be regarded as a true practitioner!"
"Really? That's great! Thank you, Master!" Tian Jihong was overjoyed. From today on, he will truly embark on the path of spiritual practice. This can be called a milestone moment in his life. After this, he will be exposed to a brand new world. Tianjihong is even more excited than he was at home before. I discovered that a local skill is still going to be powerful.
"Okay, okay, don't be too happy too early. It's right to teach you the method, but you kid must first promise the master two things: First, what is important in practice is perseverance, any breakthrough in realm or strength None of it can be achieved overnight. You must remember to practice every day and never give up halfway. From today until the time you become a teacher, your teacher will also check your practice progress regularly. If he sees that you have evil intentions, , if you cheat and cheat, I will kick you out immediately, do you understand?"
"Disciple understands! Master, please rest assured that disciple will do his best in practice and will never slack off!" Looking at Li Ming who was getting serious at this time, Tian Jihong also replied firmly.
"Well, that's good. I can see how perseverant you are. Don't waste your talent for cultivation in the future." Looking at Tianjihong who spoke decisively, Li Ming understood that this boy meant what he said. After listening to it, his solemn expression relaxed again. "Of course there is the second point, which is what I have been telling you just now. Unless it is absolutely necessary and your bottom line is violated, no matter how tempting or opportunities there are when you go out in the future, you must still put your own life first. "
"You must know that more than 90% of the practitioners who fell during the cultivation process lost their lives due to fighting and fighting. It is really because of the many shackles in cultivation that only a very small number of people died when they broke through the realm. Therefore, you must remember that you must not get carried away for temporary interests or desires and put yourself in a dangerous situation. No matter how great the opportunity is, it is not more important than your own life. If nothing else, there is someone else you need by your side. The younger brother he takes care of, and the parents far away who cannot be found; if he dies, their fate will be involved in a deeper whirlpool. So in the future, you must be extremely careful when doing things, and don't be as reckless as today, remember Are you staying?" Li Ming persuaded him earnestly.
"Well, my disciple promises you that I will be more careful when doing things in the future. Things like today will never happen again, and master will never let me worry about my disciple again." Tian Jihong naturally understood that Li Ming was out of touch. Because of his concern and appreciation for his talents, he educated himself in this way.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can remember this much, let's get back to the topic. Seeing how impatient you are, I'm going to teach you the [Health-nurturing Technique] first. This You take this book and read it first, and Master will explain it to you in detail after dinner." After saying that, Li Ming finally took out a wrinkled booklet from the package on the table and handed it to Tianjihong. The three big characters "Health Tips" are printed in the center of the cover.
With the experience of digging out the Shura Heart Technique in the basement, this was not the first time Tian Jihong came into contact with the secret manual of the technique, and he did not feel as shocked as if he had found a treasure at the beginning. But as the former of the earth-level skills, it is no different from the heavenly book to Tianjihong at this time, and it is still too early to use it for practice. At this time, the booklet Li Ming handed to him was relatively simple. Tianjihong briefly flipped through it and only had a dozen thin pages, and it did not mention the requirements for cultivation. It was obviously It is specially used for beginners like him who have just started to practice.
At this time, Tianjihong's stomach was already growling with hunger after working hard all day. However, the excitement brought by getting a secret book of exercises suitable for his practice made him uninterested in paying attention to these small things. In the end, he still went to Li Ming's After insisting on the request, I calmed down and ate some food hastily. After sweeping away the food on the table like a storm, Tian Jihong hurriedly pestered Li Ming to start explaining spiritual power practice.
Helpless Li Ming knew that he could not defeat Tian Jihong who was in high spirits. After quickly using his soul consciousness to confirm that the old man outside the door had not yet fully awakened, and seeing that there was still some time before the late night operation, Li Ming started his own ’s first lecture.
