Shen Hao could barely cope with things at home. Although he was not as professional as the liars in acting, he still had no problem dealing with strange relatives. What's more, he already has a lot to do in a day, so he doesn't need to spend much time dealing with the other party.
However, the three fox girls in the family have become familiar with Shen Wanhui over the past few days, to the point where Shen Wanhui has even called Xia Nu "sister". However, Xia Nu still didn't stupidly call her "sister".
Overtly and secretly, Shen Wanhui was praising Xia Nu, sending out kindness to Xia Nu without any money. While taking all the orders, she was secretly wary of these summer girls. She felt that the host's cousin was a little too enthusiastic. And I always like to talk about things "in the past". It feels weird to always say "did my cousin tell you so-and-so...".
Every night, Xia Nu would tell her master what happened with Shen Wanhui during the day. She thought that the master would be impatient to listen, but Xia Nu found that her master listened attentively, but did not tell her how to deal with it. Natsunu understood that her master wanted her to maintain the status quo.
It seems that the owner's attitude towards this relative who came to recognize him is not that simple.
However, Xia Nu knew this in her heart but did not tell anyone else. Even when she went to Lianxiang Courtyard every day, she rarely mentioned the relatives of the owner.
When Shen Hao was on business during the day, he would go to the station to visit Nie Yun who was recovering from his injuries. Over the past few days, Nie Yun's injuries have basically stabilized and he is gradually recovering. Especially after hearing that Lingxiao Palace intended to release Zhao Zhiyuan, he became even more energetic and actively cooperated with the doctors to treat his injuries. He even tried his best to refrain from drinking.
However, Nie Yun will not just be idle after healing. In his words, "If you don't find something to do, you will go crazy." The "things" he refers to are things other than healing that can be used to pass the time. things.
For example, guiding Shen Hao in his practice.
"I never thought that your improvement would be so fast! In just a year or so, you have climbed from Ju Shen to Yuan Dan. And looking at your momentum, you should reach the fourth level of Yuan Dan in the second half of this year. It’s serious. Tsk, your talent is really weird. If you go to the sect to practice secretly, will the Po Xuanhai realm be just like playing in the future? Do you want to consider coming to Guishan Monastery to become a formal disciple?"
Nie Yun was half-joking, but if Shen Hao nodded, he would not be vague. It would be a good thing for the entire Guishan Monastery if such a rare and late-blooming prodigy could become a formal disciple, and in Nie Yun's opinion It's also a good thing for Shen Hao.
But will Shen Hao agree? Of course he won't agree. He is not a genius, he can just practice quietly by himself. At least he won't be studied over and over again because of his cultivation in Xuanqing Guard, but that won't be the case once he enters the sect. What if the black beast tattoo is discovered? Those variables were not what Shen Hao was willing to bear.
"I'm used to being wild outside. I guess I can't bear the hardships in the sect. I won't be punished for doing anything that violates the sect's rules. I can only thank Brother Nie for his kindness."
"Haha, that's right. How wonderful is the colorful world outside? The world's various conditions are so heart-training. In fact, you are not necessarily worse than Qingxiu if you are wallowing in the world of mortals. It's just that if you are more diligent, Qingxiu in the sect will definitely be faster. , and the resources are more abundant than you are now.
But forget it, let’s not talk about this. Use your current method again and I'll see if there are any flaws. If there are any, I'll help you correct them. "
"Fish in the Stone", "Thunder Hands", and even "Moving Mountains" Shen Hao did not hide in front of Nie Yun. Shen Hao felt that he had practiced these methods well, but in Nie Yun's eyes there were still many problems omission.
Especially for "Moving Mountains", in Nie Yun's words, Shen Hao was lucky that he didn't wear himself out because he would have left irreversible injuries in three years if he continued to act like this.
"Do you really think that the method of physical cultivation is so easy? The reason why barbarians can practice it is because of their physical constitution, and secondly because they have natural conveniences."
"What convenience?"
"Medicine!"
Afterwards, Nie Yun wrote two prescriptions to Shen Hao and asked him to take medicine and take a medicinal bath every seven days. The two formulas are taken in turn, which can promote the strengthening of the physical body without worrying about hidden diseases caused by practicing too fast.
Shen Hao was horrified after hearing this. Later, after Nie Yun explained it to him carefully, he realized that there was nothing wrong with "Moving Mountains" itself. The reason why he almost caused problems with his practice was because he didn't know the "common sense" of physical training. ", that is: five points of method, five points of supplement.
To take the path of physical cultivation, it is far from enough to rely on the replenishment of the true energy. It also needs to be replenished through food, elixirs, and medicinal soups. The purpose of all is to prevent physical strength from increasing during the process. Collapse.
This is common sense, so it is not included in the description of the stone pillars of the Sword Emperor Tomb. And Nie Yun helped Shen Hao again by chance through many unpopular things in the natural way of the sect.
Moreover, Nie Yun never asked Shen Hao where these methods came from, and he was not curious at all. He didn't even ask about the details of Shen Hao's method of saving Zhao Zhiyuan, because he could see that Shen Hao didn't want to talk about these things.
"I suggest you spend more time honing your spells. As far as your current situation is concerned, the intensity of your spells is far from the limit of your realm, at least 35% less powerful. . Only in this way will you not suffer a loss when facing sect monks of the same realm, otherwise your chance of winning will not exceed 50%."
Shen Hao was slightly surprised. Although he was indeed deficient in the use of his methods, he also had his own killer move, which was really not weak. Don’t you think you have less than half a chance of winning against a sect monk of the same level?
"Is he so strong?"
"Of course. You are now at the third level of the Yuan Dan Realm, and all the sect monks in this realm have gone out to practice at least once. With the experience of fighting and the skills, you really don't take advantage. And you have trump cards, don't others? ?
The second- and third-rate sects are okay, but their background is far worse, and they may not be as good as you when it comes to fighting for their lives. But people from first-class sects or super sects are completely different. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are monks at two levels. Even against someone from a super sect, you may not even have a 40% chance of winning at the same level. "
Shen Hao was a little surprised when he heard it, but he didn't fully believe it. Trump card? Whose trump card is as good as his trump card?
However, Nie Yun's warning also woke up Shen Hao, letting him know that in the world of cultivation, there are general differences in the strength of monks at the same level. And it uses Shen Hao's current strength as a reference to make it easier for Shen Hao to understand.
But before Shen Hao could continue, Nie Yun sighed again: "Actually, sects are not only divided into levels, but also into regions. The sects in the old Jing Dynasty and the sects in Wusi City are also very different. .”
