Chapter 21: An Opportunity for a Breakthrough
Feiyun Peak, Feiyun Palace.
Zhan Chen knelt down in front of Zhao He and bowed, "The apprentice has asked the master for peace!"
Zhao He said: "Zhan Chen, why haven't you come to Feiyun Peak as often as usual recently, and you have caused me a lot of trouble." ”
Zhan Chen was indeed a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Master, I have been busy improving my cultivation and cultivating martial arts recently, so I have neglected it, please forgive my sins." ”
"Hehe, it's just a joke for you, but you, a registered disciple, really make the teacher very worried, I'm optimistic about your potential!"
Zhan Chen nodded heavily, Zhao He really didn't say anything to himself.
"However, you have been a little too much of the limelight recently, and you are the champion of the martial arts competition, and you have defeated the little guy of Blue Star, this is not good, you must know the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. I have been an elder for many years, what kind of genius I have never seen? But the vast majority of people have disappeared in an instant like meteors across the sky. ”
"You need to know how to hide the front, and you should endure it. ”
At this time, Zhan Chen suddenly raised his head and asked, "What if I can't help it?"
"If you can't bear it, you don't need to endure it anymore!" Zhao He's eyes burst out with two fine lights.
Zhan Chen nodded approvingly, thinking: "It seems that the teacher must have been more similar to me when he was young, but he has hidden his edge in the past few years, is this the so-called hidden edge?"
"Hehe, come to me today, but what problems have you encountered in your cultivation?"
"I'm just here to greet the master. ”
"If you don't mean it, let it go if you have a fart, otherwise you can step down. ”
Zhan Chen hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, don't, I want to ask you how to break through the martial arts." ”
"Breakthrough Martial Master?" Zhao He pondered for a long time, and even sat down to take a sip of tea, satisfying Zhan Chen's appetite.
Just when Zhan Chen was a little impatient to wait, Zhao He looked into his eyes and said a word: "Battle!"
"Teacher, I don't understand what you mean. ”
"I mean fighting, as long as you keep fighting and squeeze out your potential, you can hope to break through. ”
"Do you just need to fight?" Zhan Chen was a little puzzled.
Li He said: "Normal people take the route of accumulation, and the accumulation process from martial apprentice to martial artist is particularly long, ranging from three to five years to ten years, so that the power of the body can be exerted to the extreme. It's like this cup in my hand is full of water. ”
"When the water is overflowing, usually people reach this stage and can't go any further, breaking through this cup, and then an external force is needed to break the cup and replace it with a bigger container, just like this teapot at my hand. ”
Zhan Chen nodded, this can be understood.
"So the most important thing is to have the strength to break through this container, many older martial disciples and twelveth-layer martial artists are unable to break through the limitations of their bodies because they have lost their potential. Therefore, our sect has restrictions on the age and cultivation of outer disciples, just because of this. ”
"I know your mind, if you want to break through the bottleneck quickly, then there are only two ways, one is to have a panacea and break through the limitations of this container with the help of medicinal power, and the other is ......"
At this time, Li He paused here, stared at his eyes, and continued: "That is to experience the battle of life and death. ”
"A battle of life and death?" Zhan Chen repeated, a light flickering in the depths of his pupils.
"Apprentice, I'm not afraid to tell you that the second way I took as a teacher back then. At that time, Wei Shi was exploring Yefeng Ridge alone, and unfortunately encountered a second-order early demon beast, and Wei Shi fought with him and was seriously injured. ”
"At this time, all the true qi in my meridians was exhausted, and I was covered in wounds, and it was very difficult to even raise my sword, but it was in this state that I continued to fight with my own will. ”
"Until that demon beast wanted to bite off my neck, a large amount of true qi suddenly gushed out from my meridians, as if the dry spring was filled with water again, and after breaking through, I killed the demon beast in one go. ”
When Zhao He talked about this paragraph, his eyes showed a look of remembrance, and he was still excited, and he could hear that Zhan Chen on the other side was also enthusiastic.
"Experience a battle of life and death, put it to death and then live, and break through at the time of life and death!" Now Zhan Chen's mind is full of such thoughts.
Zhao He saw that he looked fascinated, and reminded: "This is just my experience, maybe don't push yourself to that extent." It's just that countless practices have proved that combat can indeed accelerate the martial arts to quickly break through the martial artist realm.
"As for the first way, relying on the pill to break through, being a teacher itself is alchemy, knowing the disadvantages of the pill, the biggest drawback lies in a dependence. ”
"First of all, once you break through with the pill, you will still think about relying on the pill for the next breakthrough; secondly, after breaking through with the pill, it will take more time to consolidate your cultivation; finally, relying on the pill to break through, you will have a lot less experience and a lot less understanding, and this breakthrough perception will not be able to make up for it, which will affect the future cultivation path. ”
After listening to Zhao He's in-depth analysis, Zhan Chen had a full understanding of the pros and cons of the two shortcuts.
"How about it, have you decided? There are exactly three Breaking Master Pills here for the teacher, which is enough for you to break through the martial artist realm. Zhao He placed a jade bottle on the table.
The crystal white jade bottle exuded a soft light, as if it was tempting Zhan Chen to reach out and take it.
Zhan Chen's heart was beating rapidly, he was suppressing his desires, and many thoughts flashed through his mind: "What is your own way? How did you come all the way? The cultivation path is long, how do you go on?"
Gradually, his eyes were no longer confused, they became firm, and he bit down and said, "Master, I don't want the pill, I decided to take the second path and seek an opportunity to break through in the battle." ”
"Okay! Ambitious, I am optimistic about you, remember to stick to the Tao in your heart!" Zhao He flicked his sleeves, and the jade bottle on the table disappeared.
After saying goodbye to his master, Zhan Chen went back to the dormitory to pack his bags and walked to the experience hall. After talking to Zhao He, he already had the next goal, which was to go to Yefeng Ridge to experience a battle of life and death.
The experience hall was still lively, Zhan Chen paused in front of the task card, came to the registration office, and said to the senior brother on duty there: "I want to go through the procedures for leaving the sect." ”
"How long are you leaving?"
"How long can it last?" asked Zhan Chenyi through gritted teeth.
"Your outer disciples can only be up to three months, while your inner disciples can be up to half a year. ”
"Okay, just go through the three-month separation procedures for me. Zhan Chen handed over the identity jade plate to the senior brother on duty, quickly completed the procedures for leaving the sect, and hurriedly left the experience hall and embarked on the road to Yefeng Ridge.
At this time, Zhan Chen was only thinking about breaking through, how to experience a life-and-death battle, and how to deal with demon beasts, and he didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes staring at him in the corner.
