Chapter 3 Serendibility
There was a little apprehension along the way, stepping on the bluestone steps Tianxing soon came to the cave, this mansion is milky white, all made of granite, all around the mansion are inlaid with spirit stones, the door of the mansion is surrounded by vines, the door has been tightly wound with vines, but when Tianxing came to the door, the vines automatically gave way, obviously, this vine has become a fine, although Tianxing is a little scared, but still has the courage to walk in.
"Ah", Tianxing exclaimed, he was frightened by the scene in front of him, there seemed to be a white skeleton in the center of the mansion, and the white bones sat cross-legged, with their hands together, as if praying for something. The skeleton didn't look like a normal dead person, it didn't have flesh and blood, but it felt like it was still alive, as if it would get up and walk at any moment.
Out of respect for the deceased, Tianxing still saluted the white bones, because my mother told herself since she was a child that she should treat others with courtesy and sincerity, as for what others do, it is someone else's business, if others are not polite and sincere to themselves, then no matter what kind of person the other party is, treat them in the same way.
"Well, the young man is good, very polite, the old man is very satisfied", the voice sounded again, and the voice was full of an unconcealable excitement, but it did not show it.
Tianxing, you stand here and don't move, the old man looks at you, don't be afraid, the old man won't harm you. ”
When Tianxing heard this voice, he only felt his whole body tighten, but there was no discomfort, and the time of counting breaths was over.
"Hey......" let out a long sigh, shattering Tianxing's illusion, because the voice revealed extreme disappointment.
also said that there was an opportunity, it seems that he really has no life to cultivate. Speaking of fate, Tianxing really envied those nobles who were born with a golden medicine spoon, and they already had the honor and wealth that ordinary people have to fight for all their lives without doing anything. But Tianxing is really unwilling, unwilling to live a dull life like this, he wants to control his own destiny, to find his own way, to create his own legend. No matter what the result, even if there is only the slightest chance, he will go for it.
Putting away his thoughts, Tianxing asked without humility or arrogance: "May I ask the honorific title of senior?"
There was a brief silence in the mansion, and just as Tianxing was about to give up and go out, his voice remembered again, "Old man Chen Yuan, others call me Venerable Chen." When Venerable Chen said his name, he revealed a strong sense of self-confidence and honor. Because, when a person's strength reaches a certain level, the name is a kind of glory.
"Venerable, Venerable", Tianxing repeated twice in a whisper. I was a little short of breath because it was the height I had fantasized about countless times. Although he does not have the qualifications to cultivate, he has heard of the level of a cultivator, and if he cultivates to the gold level, he can become a Venerable, and when he reaches platinum, he can be called a master.
It is rumored that the Venerable goes to heaven and earth, and his shot can destroy the heavens and the earth, and he is omnipotent, and as long as there is a Venerable person in a court or a family, his strength can be raised to a higher level. In the past hundred years, except for the legendary empire, the other four empires have two venerables in charge, and their strength is similar, in terms of overall strength, the Xuanwu Empire is slightly higher, because the people of the Xuanwu Empire are naturally aggressive, and they will start fighting if they don't agree with each other. People from other countries looked at the Xuanwu Empire and stayed away. And the legendary empire has reached as many as five, and there is even one controller in charge, and the strength is self-evident.
"The heart is okay, but ordinary people have already fanned their legs and feet, kneeling and worshipping. Venerable Chen said lightly. Because Venerable is not something that ordinary people can see, the invisible coercion of Venerable, ordinary people will be overwhelmed when they get close, if Venerable deliberately releases it, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary cultivators will be wiped out. But because Venerable Chen's body had already dissipated, only the white bones and the spiritual imprint that was about to dissipate remained, if he didn't deliberately release it, there would be no coercion.
"Without any cultivation qualifications, it's difficult to even change, is this the will of heaven?" Tianxing heard Venerable Chen say to himself again. After the test just now, Venerable Chen also knew about the situation of Tianxing. A Venerable can help a person change his qualifications if he wants to, but Tianxing's qualifications are obviously not even able to help Venerable Chen change them, which shows that the qualifications are mediocre, if there is no chance, maybe he will not be able to become a cultivator in this life.
"That's it, that's it, there's not much time, just obey the will of heaven, Tianxing, right? Are you willing to become the disciple of the old man?", only to hear Venerable Chen say majestically.
Venerable Chen has existed in this mansion for hundreds of years, he feels that after today, maybe he will completely disappear from this world, if time permits, he is a hundred people who are unwilling to accept Tianxing disciples, if he says it, it will make those old guys laugh off their big teeth, think back then, there are countless people who want to worship Venerable Chen as a teacher, all of them are qualified people, but without exception, all of them have been rejected, and now they have made Tianxing pick up a big bargain, but there is no way, for hundreds of years, Tianxing is the only one who has come here, maybe it is really providence, or fate, but in the end it depends on Tianxing himself, maybe he can really become a monk one day and help him fulfill his last wish.
Excitement, nervousness, surprise...... Tianxing is difficult to describe his mood at the moment. Because a person who wants to change his fate all the time, if he encounters an opportunity to change his fate one day, he will do whatever it takes to seize it, because such a person, as long as there is any opportunity to change, they will not give up. But Tianxing still asked in a low voice: "Senior, is what you said true?"
"Nonsense, what I Chen Yuan said is a word, and it counts at any time. Venerable Chen said confidently. Indeed, as a Venerable One, you generally don't make promises, but if you make a promise, you will definitely come true.
"Senior, then you come out quickly, how can I apprentice if you don't come out?" Tianxing said suspiciously.
"I'm right in front of you, that is, this white bone in front of you," Venerable Chen said with a little sadness.
"Ah, senior, are you already ......," Tianxing said with a look of hell.
"That's right, I'm no longer in this world, and talking to you at the moment is just a spiritual imprint of mine. ”
Then, Venerable Chen asked rhetorically: "Tianxing, do you regret it? It's too late to regret now, after all, I can't accompany you in the future, maybe after today, I will disappear in this world forever."
Hearing Venerable Chen say this, Tianxing didn't have any worries, although Venerable Chen had only a pile of white bones left, maybe he was the noble person in his life, he knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed three times to the white bones, and shouted respectfully: "Master." ”
"Good, good, good" Venerable Chen seemed very happy.
When Tianxing was thinking, he heard Venerable Chen say: "Tianxing, you come and take off the ring on my ring finger, but before you take it, you go to the opposite stone steps to give another salute to the teacher, and after the salute, come and take the ring, and then go to get the superb spirit stone in the middle of the room." ”
Although Tianxing didn't understand why he did this, he still did it, and when he took off the ring, the white bone seemed to have no support and fell apart in an instant, although there were many questions, but he didn't say it, just did what Venerable Chen said.
When the best spirit stone was taken, Venerable Chen told Tianxing that the reason why he wanted to salute was because he was worried that the enemy would break in, and the enemy would definitely not salute himself, if he forcibly took the ring, the formation would be activated, and then the ring would not only be automatically scrapped, but also the formation would trap the forcible taker, the best spirit stone was the eye of the formation, but it was also the key to open the ring, if it was not a strong person who was proficient in Chen Fa, even if he got the ring by chance, he couldn't open it.
Next, Tianxing opened the ring under the guidance of Venerable Chen, and recognized the Lord with blood, although with the help of Venerable Chen, but it was also reluctantly successful after many attempts, after all, Tianxing did not have any cultivation bloodline, and the ring was very repulsive in the process of recognizing the Lord, so it was not as simple as dripping blood to recognize the Lord. Because as a god-level ring with a machine spirit, it is more uncomfortable than destroying it, but the ring seems to have reached some kind of agreement with Venerable Chen, and only then is it willing to recognize the heavenly being.
On the Tianxing Continent, rings are generally divided into low-grade rings, bone rings, space rings, spirit rings, and god-level rings.
Low-grade rings are common, and they are made of ordinary stone.
The bone ring is divided into multiple levels, generally made of the bones of the monster, the higher the level of the monster, the more difficult it is to build, and the greater the difficulty is to inlay the magic core in the ring to increase the level of the ring, of course, this kind of ring is generally only built by those nobles of the big family or the court, because the cost of building is extremely expensive.
Space rings, which are rare in number due to the materials they are made of and how hard to find them, and the level varies according to the level of the builder.
Spirit ring, that is, a ring with a machine spirit, this kind of ring is generally very rare, the material is good, needless to say, but also to meet the machine spirit itself is willing, if it is forcibly sealed spirit, it is equivalent to burying a time bomb for yourself, because maybe that day the machine spirit will be unsealed and the master will be killed.
God-level rings are very rare in the world, because they are a combination of bone rings, space rings, and spirit rings, once the master is recognized, the level of the spirit itself will change with the increase of the master's cultivation. If you have a god-level ring, then an enemy of the same level is not an opponent at all, and it is not even difficult to kill people by skipping the level.
After putting away the ring, Tianxing obviously felt that he was a little different, but he couldn't say exactly what had changed. This is not to blame Tianxing, after all, Tianxing is an ordinary person who doesn't know how to cultivate at all, and he doesn't know that the ring on his body is a god-level ring, let alone that the ring can affect his physique and temperament. But his teacher won't tell him this, because Tianxing is still young, as the saying goes, "the husband is innocent and guilty", if anyone knows that Tianxing is wearing a god-level ring, then he will invite endless killings. One day, when Tianxing becomes stronger, he may know.
When Tianxing felt the changes that the ring had brought to him, he heard Venerable Chen say: "Tianxing, the mind and mind are one, and the spiritual power is concentrated. For the teacher, he will teach you the exercises. ”
Tianxing sat cross-legged, and suddenly regained his mind, only to feel that there were suddenly many white points of light in his mind, these points of light were warm and soft, making people feel very comfortable, and at the same time, Tianxing's mind also poured into many exercises cultivated on the Tianhai Continent, the most of which was the cultivation of divine power, of course, it was also the most complete, at this moment, Tianxing's mind was like a library, all kinds of exercises were classified and arranged, as long as Tianxing had an idea, he could look through the exercises he wanted. Obviously, Venerable Chen passed on all the exercises he had collected throughout his life to Tianxing.
Originally, Tianxing is spiritual world could not withstand so much information, but Venerable Chen used his remaining spiritual power to transform Tianxing's spiritual world, and after transformation, Tianxing's spiritual power was undoubtedly much stronger, and it also laid the foundation for the next step of cultivation.
After the exercises were taught, Venerable Chen introduced the use of the ring, but did not say about the existence of the machine spirit, and also introduced the various exercises and practices just taught, of course, the most important thing is Venerable Chen's main cultivation - divine power cultivation, and also talked about the method of changing the human body of ordinary people, as well as the picking of some related herbs......
The most practical thing is to tell Tianxing some things to do next and some tasks to be completed. As for choosing to take that path of cultivation, it still depends on Tianxing himself, because at present, Tianxing doesn't even have the qualifications to cultivate, and saying that these are just a foundation for Tianxing, so that he can avoid detours when choosing in the future.
Venerable Chen kept talking, not even pausing, and Tianxing was like walking in the desert for many days and suddenly saw a clear spring constantly absorbing people, although he was unfamiliar and obscure, but he still listened and remembered with his heart, at this moment, God seemed to have opened another window for him, opened another door for him, he was not confused, but had hope and goal again.
I don't know how long later, when he realized that his master needed to rest, Venerable Chen was no longer in this world, and he didn't know anything about his master's background, only that Venerable Chen said that he came from the Legendary Continent.
The encounter was short-lived, Tianxing and Venerable Chen only got along for a few hours, but it seemed to be a master and apprentice for a few years, and even the spirit of the machine did not sigh, maybe it was really the fate between people, and the people who were destined to be together were always happy, and there were always endless words.
Venerable Chen's last moment, he explained to the machine spirit how to guide Tianxing, subdue the saber-toothed tiger, and seal his remaining skills in the Tianxing body, after doing this, he left with a smile, but these Tianxing didn't know, he only knew that the teacher had been talking, and suddenly disappeared as he spoke. In fact, when Venerable Chen did this, he made Tianxing lose his memory for a short time through exercises, because Venerable Chen didn't want Tianxing to know these things too early, after all, the idea of getting something without work is easy to destroy a person, and getting so much at once will sometimes even have the opposite effect and change a person's mind.
At first, Tianxing didn't believe that Venerable Chen had passed away, but after shouting a few times in the mansion, Tianxing left crystal tears, because, Venerable Chen didn't have any response, and all that was left for him was an empty echo.
Tianxing kowtowed three times to the white bones again, and said, "Master, I will not live up to your expectations, maybe one day I can resurrect you." ”
When Tianxing walked out of the mansion, the vines wrapped the door around again, remembering the medicine that the teacher said to pick, he followed the route that the teacher said to look for, and when he came to the center of the medicine field, the medicinal fragrance was strong, and there was a sparkling herb that ran away.
"Hey, the teacher didn't say that the medicine would run," Tianxing said to himself.
