Three days later, in the morning.
A feathered crane flew over and landed at the door of Xu Ke's house with a cry of "chirp".
Xu Ke opened the door and took a look and found that it was not a real crane, but a magical one.
"Chirp!"
When the purple skylark saw the feathered crane arriving, it didn't even peck at the spirit rice. It immediately flew over, landed on Xu Ke's shoulder, and called to the feathered crane, as if to declare its sovereignty.
Xu Ke laughed and reached out to touch the purple skylark's feathers. "This is not a real crane. Besides, I will not keep any other pets."
After appeasing Ziyunque, Xu Ke walked up to Yu He.
Yu He stretched his neck and glanced at Xu Ke, as if verifying his identity. Immediately, with a flash of inspiration, the feather crane dissipated, and a book and a spell floated over and fell into Xu Ke's hands.
The talisman is a paper crane flying talisman that transforms into a feather crane, and the book is "Spiritual Wine Brewing Technique", which also contains a letter from senior brother Zhang Lingfeng.
In this letter, Zhang Lingfeng once again reiterated that "cultivation is the right path", encouraged Xu Ke to practice hard and strive to perform well in the Sinong Hall assessment, and also gave Xu Ke a paper crane flying talisman. What will happen in the future? If you have questions about spiritual practice, you can ask him through the paper crane flying talisman.
After reading this letter, Xu Ke's doubts deepened.
From the previous contact to this letter, as well as asking for advice at any time if you have any questions, Brother Zhang Lingfeng's actions have given people the image of a "senior brother" who is "enthusiastic and helpful".
His behavior is certainly not without purpose.
Immortality is a private matter, and cultivation is one's own business. Who has the spare time to care about others if they are not relatives?
Of course, we cannot deny that there are good people in this world. However, it is also good to have an open mind in everything.
So, what is the purpose of Senior Brother Zhang Lingfeng?
Everything in this world, in the final analysis, all comes down to the word "fame and wealth".
Profitable? I am a mere farming disciple at the bottom of the sect, what profit can I gain?
image name? What good does fame do him?
Are there any benefits to fame?
Xu Ke's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered the story of "Wang Anshi raised Wang for thirty years, and once he became prime minister, the world respected him."
I see!
Zhang Lingfeng's actions are to raise his hopes and "establish his character."
Once a person is established and his reputation is developed, and he is praised by his superiors and admired and admired by his subordinates, he can be "entrusted with important tasks."
In the final analysis, it still comes down to the word "fame and fortune". Fame is profit. Once you are "entrusted with an important task", are you afraid that there will be no benefits?
Cultivation is too expensive. Pills, spells, magic weapons... which ones are free of charge?
Except for those true disciples who enjoy free supplies from the sect, everyone else needs to find ways to make money on their own.
Even true disciples need to make money. After all, the sect cannot provide unlimited supplies, nor can the sect take care of all the needs for a lifetime of cultivation.
Therefore, in order to obtain enough resources for practice, everyone is looking for ways to make money.
Brother Wang "sells insurance", Gao Zhengzheng does business, and Zhang Lingfeng chooses to hold power, essentially to obtain spiritual resources.
At this moment, Xu Ke completely understood the essence of the matter.
After understanding Zhang Lingfeng's fundamental purpose, Xu Ke had no intention of interacting with him any more.
For this kind of person, you can't deny that he is very capable and responsible, but he is really not suitable for being friends. It is better to be a simple friend.
During the promotion assessment at Sinong Hall, it was enough to say hello when you saw him, there was no need to have a close friendship with him.
Return to the room and sit in front of the desk.
Xu Ke took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply to Zhang Lingfeng.
These papers and pens are all miscellaneous items in the storage bag of casual repairmen, and they come in handy at this moment.
In this letter, Xu Ke expressed his gratitude to Zhang Lingfeng, thanked him for the wine-making skills, and thanked him for his concern and help. Other than that, he didn't say much more.
After sealing the envelope, Xu Ke used his spiritual power to drive the paper crane flying talisman and sent a "message" to Zhang Lingfeng.
Then... Zhang Lingfeng actually replied quickly.
In the reply, Zhang Lingfeng said that no need to thank him, he was just out of concern for his fellow disciples, and as a serving disciple of Sinong Palace, it was appropriate for him to care and help his fellow disciples.
This letter... made Xu Ke feel like a formulaic and standard reply, as if he could reply to anyone.
It seems that our senior brother Zhang has "cared and helped" many people!
Xu Ke smiled and didn't care.
As long as it doesn't affect me, it's okay for you, Zhang Lingfeng, to become the head coach.
------------------
Time passes day by day.
It’s late November in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Xu Ke has practiced the "Fasting Hair Technique" and "Rainfall Technique" to the point where he has exceeded the limit, promoted to the extraordinary, and turned it into his own innate magic.
Xu Ke originally had no expectations for these two spells.
However, after the activation technique was promoted to extraordinary and turned into a talent spell, it actually brought a surprise to Xu Ke.
Xu Ke originally thought that the seed-activation technique was just a simple wood-type magic that used wood-type spiritual power to stimulate seeds, speed up seed germination, and accelerate plant growth.
When the catalyst technique broke through the limit and turned into an innate spell, Xu Ke was surprised to find that the catalyst technique not only involved wood spiritual power, but also seemed to vaguely touch the power of time.
This made Xu Ke think of a great magical power called "A Thought of Flowers Blooming"!
The great magical power of "flowers bloom at a thought" is not just about blooming.
Its essence is to locally accelerate the passage of time. Blessing it to oneself can make the attack speed faster than imagined. Used to attack enemies, it can burn longevity energy, and its power is terrifying.
However, Xu Ke's current "activation technique" is still far from truly mastering the power of time.
Although it is of no use for the time being, it also gives Xu Ke a little more possibility to realize the power of time. As long as you keep improving, sooner or later, the hair-raising technique will turn into the magical power of "a flower blooms at a thought".
As for the rain spell, after being promoted to extraordinary and turned into a natural spell, Xu Ke could "rain" anytime and anywhere.
However, even if it is promoted to extraordinary and turned into an innate spell, the rainfall spell has no other effect except that it rains a little harder and the water vapor is more sensitive.
It can neither "flow down the Tianhe River" nor "water overflow the Jinshan Mountains", and it has no combat effectiveness at all.
As for development potential...it is said that "calling wind and rain" is also a great magical power.
I just don’t know if my rainfall technique has a chance to be promoted to the great magical power of “calling wind and rain”.
Because the promotion of the activation technique to extraordinary brought a little surprise, Xu Ke simply seriously improved all the other spells that had not broken through the limit and refined them into innate spells.
What kind of sect competition? What is the Sinong Palace assessment? Don't worry, wait until I practice all the spells to extraordinary levels.
So...Xu Kezhen mastered all the spells he learned to extraordinary levels.
The newly promoted extraordinary spells all look pretty good.
The spiritual shock of the Shattering Technique is extremely powerful and can be used to break the enemy's spiritual shield. Of course, it can also be used to shatter the enemy.
Desiccation can instantly evaporate water and turn enemies into mummies.
As for the cooking technique, uh... it's faster to cook rice and stew meat. Does this count?
Just kidding, in fact, the boiling technique does not prevent you from hitting people. A boiling spell can really make people's blood boil!
As for "concrete as stone", Xu Ke has only discovered its use in construction for the time being, and has not thought of any use in combat. The corresponding "fossils become mud" is the same.
At this point, before the sect competition, except for the "Yellow Turban Bodybuilding Technique" that Xu Ke had not broken through to the first level, all other spells and skills had broken through the limit and were promoted to the extraordinary.
The training of the Yellow Turban Hercules is also coming soon. Next month, I will definitely be able to complete the first level of perfection, and become a Hercules man, with a body of copper skin and iron bones, and the strength to drag down nine oxen!
The day of the sect competition is coming soon.
