Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to answer, and he was not even planning to give an answer today. Of course there was no rejection.
After renting the warehouse, Bai Yu even wanted to give Zhang Yan another 50% discount on the cost, but Zhang Yan refused. Zhang Yan really has no shortage of money now that he has opened up the sales of magic weapons. Trying to give him money as a favor is no longer feasible.
After coming back, Zhang Yan has been thinking about the reasons behind Bai Yu's visit to him this time.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Yan felt that Bai Yu, or the demon race, seemed to have peace of mind that was not as simple as it was said. There are a lot of things in it that are inappropriate to talk about.
For example, Bai Yu mentioned that the reason why their demon species can still have "room for survival" among the demon and human races is because they are "useful".
Zhang Yan is still not completely clear on where exactly this is "useful", but targeting ghosts and destroying them must be one of the "useful" aspects of the demon species, even a very important one.
In other words, whether it is a sacred place or a ghost, it is an important target for the demon species to reflect its own value and existence.
Here, Zhang Yan can be sure that the demon species represented by Bai Yu will definitely not be limited to the Nanyuan Kingdom or the other three or two countries, but like the Jiangwu Academy, it should be a large force all over the human race. . Even if the demon species on the demon clan's side are included, it will be even larger.
But although they are huge, the number of demon species is their biggest weakness. The combination of human race and demon race is a cross-ethnic race, the fertility rate is extremely low, and the reproductive capacity of the demon race itself is even more shockingly low. If the individuals were not really outstanding, otherwise this group would probably be unable to develop and would be annihilated on its own.
In comparison, both the demon race and the human race have an absolute advantage over the demon race. It can give you space to survive when needed. What if I don’t need you anymore? Will I take back everything I gave you? After all, the combination of human race and demon race is forbidden in both races. There is a terrible ideological divide.
Okay, with the above context. Then we can look at the relationship between demons and ghosts in another direction. It is definitely not the relationship between "yamen servant" and "thief". Rather, it is a relationship similar to that between a big fish and a small fish in a pond.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. If there are no small fish, what will the big fish eat? If a big fish can't eat shrimps, will it starve to death?
"It seems that asking me to teach me how to eliminate ghosts is fake, but testing the depth is real!" After Zhang Yan figured this out in his mind, he felt enlightened.
Even it seems that Zhang Yan's appearance is not good news for the demon species. Because before Zhang Yan, apart from their demon species, only the half-hearted ones in the Special Division could fight against ghosts. The demon species were the main force in dealing with ghosts because of their ability to have companion beasts.
Now if Zhang Yan's skills could be taught at will, then the situation of the demon species in the human race would be very bad! It's the kind of person who destroys people's jobs and pushes down the walls of their homes, leaving no way for them to survive. What's more, Zhang Yan is now a guest teacher at the Jiangwu Academy and a teacher at the Xinlong Miscellaneous Academy. If he could really teach, wouldn't it be easy to spread the word?
Of course, these judgments were made by Zhang Yan based on the environment of the human race. He didn't know the situation on the demon clan's side, so he couldn't think that far ahead.
Monsters don't know that the threshold for Taoist methods is much higher than that of warriors, and it's not that easy to learn. At least for the time being, this worry is somewhat unfounded. From now on, it’s hard to say.
"Should I refuse? Or... find another way?"
Zhang Yan was thinking about things on the recliner in the backyard while supervising Xiao Shitou to fill in the names of acupuncture points on two human body sketches. No mistakes allowed. Xiao Shitou has been doing this for several days. From the beginning, he was completely relying on blindness, and now he can basically pinpoint more than 70% of the major acupuncture points on the human body. Even Zhang Yan had to admire how smart this kid was! If he had had this kind of memory back then, how many fewer beatings would he have received?
"Brother! Look, you won't get beaten this time, right?" Wang Nian put down his pen proudly, picked up the two human body sketches and ran to Zhang Yan to ask for praise. He was very confident this time and felt that he would only make three or five mistakes at most. Because there were only three or five and he couldn't be sure.
"Okay, let me take a look." We are at home now. There would be no problem for Xiao Shitou to call Zhang Yan "brother". Zhang Yan was also curious about how many people the little stone could target this time.
After looking carefully, Zhang Yan laughed. Xiao Shitou made two mistakes in total, and they were two minor details that were not so important. This means that Xiao Shitou can officially start practicing the basic skills.
"Okay, you can start to formally practice the "Returning Qi Method" today."
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the kid jumping and getting excited, Zhang Yan also smiled happily. As for the first disciple, although he is still a registered disciple for the time being, Zhang Yan is very serious about it. He didn't even dare to use the more subtle techniques in the Wanxiang Pearl to lay the foundation for Xiao Shitou. Instead, he took out the "Gui Qi Technique" that he had practiced. What I'm looking for is a stable word. I worry that I don’t have enough knowledge and cannot give Xiao Shitou the most detailed guidance when practicing other exercises.
Perhaps when Zhang Yan's cultivation level is higher and his understanding of the principles is deeper, he may dare to try the various exquisite and powerful techniques in Wanxiang Pearl on new disciples in the future.
That night, Zhang Yan began to guide Xiao Shitou in his first formal practice. It was much smoother than Zhang Yan had imagined before. Shi Shi has achieved some success in breathing out before. There is spiritual energy in his body, which can be regarded as half-stepping into the Qi-entraining realm. In addition, this kid is also very talented and has a keen sense of Qi. He only needs less than In half an hour, the first formation of aura was successfully completed.

After that, you only need to slowly turn the air mass in the Dantian into a cyclone. At that time, Xiao Shitou's Qi-entraining state will be completed.
"Brother, this is not difficult. It's just a matter of sucking all the spiritual energy into a ball, and then mixing them together. It's just very grinding. My father said that this is water grinding, you don't need to rely on your brain." Wang Nian thought I understand very well. After saying that, Zhang Yan knocked on the forehead.
"Moving the spiritual energy is the key! Who told you that breathing is the key? And "mixing". If you mix up the spiritual energy in your lower Dantian and destroy your foundation, I will not be able to save you. You will be a useless person at that time, so don’t learn any Taoist methods and just go back to farming."
Wang Nian scratched his head, giggled twice, and said: "Hey, brother, you still have to suck it in before running it. Don't fight, don't fight, I understand, I understand! Ouch!"
